Kastle Hall, the present chemistry building, xvas constructed over 30 years ago to accommodate 560 students. This

in chemistry classes. To accommodate them some ISO
desks have been placed in the old government barracks building adjoining Kastle.' The shack is a fire trap.
And things are getting worse. The Department of Chemical Engineering is just beginning to expand and the College

Nor is this deficiency limited to the condition of the buildings. The staffs of both departments are relatively underpaid
compared to what they couldTget at other colleges, let alone
in industry. The lack of good laboratory facilities and low
pay have combined to cause several excellent professors to
leave, for greener pastures.
Add to these conditions the fact that sciences are noxo being

At a time when the entire nation is screaming and planning
for more scientists, Kentucky seems to be coming to a standstillperhaps a two-- ) car one in this department. '
The proposed new Science ttuilding which the various departments have been planning and counting on is all but dead.
Because of reasons known to the state administration, the expenditures for the building were lopped off the budget and
made conditional. How did this happen, you ask?
The. state administration lias promised on several occasions-one
of these xvas October 31, '56 that the University
would have a basic science building by 1959. The building was
listed as one of the items on the budget. Somewhere along the
way.lhe idea of a tax cut xvas brought up. Something had to
go and the Science Building xvas it.
Being aware that it had committed itself on this issue, the
administration sought a way out and found it. The funds for
the construction were put on a conditional basis. That is, if
the income of the state exceeds what is expected, the surplus
will go towards construction of . such a building. ..This seems
a reasonable proposition until one looks under the surface.
The country is in an economic recession at present and
there is apparently little reason to expect it to change for at
least a few months. So, it's quite obvious that the odds are
slim that there will be any surplus funds this )ear.
NIan)Tpeople will say that the University has managed this
long without the new building and can lasraTToiher two )ears.
Perhaps it could, but there is no guarantee that there won't
be another delay at the end of that time. This delaying action
has been going on for better than 10 years already, and the

According to a report in a recent Lexington Herald, "a UK.
student who was "as guilty as sin." was put under probation
to Dean of Men Leslie L. Martin by the local authorities.
This isn't the first time such a thing has been done.
Too often university readers have a tendency to shrug ofr
such gestures or wonder how the guy got away, with it.
The downtown officials are only too aware that some minor
infraction may ruin a student's future if it goes on the police
record. Therefore, as a gesture to the university,-the- y
sonic-timprobate the individual to Dean Martin.
Unfortunately, it causes some "jokers'' to get the idea they
can get away "with practically aTiything and they take advantage of it.
In recent months the number of infractions and incidents
has increased to the point that these officials may soon withdraw this consideration. If they do so, it could hurt many
individuals.
There are very few cities which have officials who show as
much consideration as those in Iexington. We are indeed
fortunate to have them and the university and sludent body
owe them a vote of thanks which can best be shown by
cutting down on the number of incidents.

The boys who answered represented several strata of
the social and economic classes of the country and nearly
every geographic section.
The students range from defiiant individualists to
amprudent idealists. They are outspoken,
bitious, and seriously speculative.
Here are some of their statements:
On Life in General: ". . . It is easy to be a rebel, either

"The reason our generation has been accused of
quietude is probably because our elders are afraid of our
images, when they compare it to their own."
Such is an example of the reflections of 11 Princeton
University seniors expressed in wnaf Tna decoifie quite,
a controversial book, "THE UNSILENT GENERATION."
Published last Monday, the book is described as a
symposium f the views of Princeton seniors of the class
Canadian professor
of '57. Dr. Otto Butz, a German-bor- n
at Princeton, edited the papers and worked them into
book form.
Scores of articles and books have called this the
"silent" or "beat" generation. For the first time, members
of the generation are allowed to delend themselves by
expressing their thoughts.
Butz asked the boys to comment freely upon their lives
and futures and guaranteed them anonymity. He then
selected key questions which he wanted them to answer.
Those questions asked were, "What do you want out
of life? What do you want to contribute to life? Has
your background affected you in this? What do you think
f happiness, success, security, God, education, marriage,
family, and your own feneration? What, if any, moral
problem have you encountered or do you expect to hate
to face? How do yoa relate your i If to America's futire

and the store of mankind' la teneral?"

On Careers: ". . . What I personally desire above all else
is a life which will be creative, which will leave behind it
some permanent and positive result in surrounding lives.
The vocation that I have chosen to enable me to achieve
this goal in life is that of teaching."
".. . . I never want to live the vacant- life that would
permit and glorify that total commitment to the job
which seems to be a precondition forsuccess in commerce
aswe"iras in the military."
On Education: ". . . The purpose of an education, especially in the liberal arts, is to make a person think about
himself, the universe, and time. It is to make him want
to realize his capabilities. "What do you learn to do?"
people ask of college students. The reason this question
is asked is that we are a young nation, constantly building and rebuilding ourselves. Therefore, something with- .out a utilitarian purpose seems to many a waste of time."
". . . Most professors think of themselves first as
