farm and subexperiment
stations were established at Quicksand and Princeton.
Student enrollment at UK increased from 900 In the fall of 1917
to 3.790 In the fall of 1939. The
school's appropriation from the
General Assembly grew from
$444,000
in 1917 to more than
$2,000,000 by the time Dr. McVey
retired in July. 1940. The University library Increased from 22.000
volumes to more than 260.000 during
the same period.

Our Editor Resigns
Willi Job Well Done
The staff of the Kernel extends their sincere best
wishes to Richard Cherry, former Kernel editor.
Dick resigned his post during the Christmas holidays "due to press of business," explaining that he
did not feel he could spend sufficient time on the
paper because of his other activities. That is easy
enough to understand.

excellent telephone facilities in their residences, but
the poor boys have very little facilities. There are
only three pay phones and one desk phone for the
four men's dorms and one pay phone and one desk

The United Students said they will still try to do
problem of parking
something about the age-olon the campus. This problem probably is more
disgusting to the students than any other. It is
evident that something should be done. Since Lexington officials refuse to help matters any, it appears the only solution is to build more parking
lots on the campus like the one on Rose Street.
The party also promises to endeavor to raise student wages and to promote a simple book exchange
for students. Labor is lalxr, and student employees
should Ik? paid as much as any other workers. Although the administration last year opposed the
book exchange idea, we feel a simple exchange can
Ix? organized that will be workable.
The Constitutionalists said they will attempt to
establish a campus bank, but local bankers have
already pointed out this is impossible. Besides, students should Ix? able to keep up with their money
without the help of a campus bank.
The party also indicated it would investigate the
possibilities of student representation on ti e Student Loan Fund Committee. While they are at it,
they might see if some of the money in the fund
might be put to use or added to SGA's budget. At
present there is alxiut $S0,000 in the fund and only
about $10,000 of this has been lent out.

The parties must have been wishfully thinking of.,
trying to make their platforms appear great if they
think they could accomplish such things as cutting
prices in the cafeteria or getting a discount from
local 'merchants on students purchases.
As for the possibilities of providing portable
backs4or the seats in the student section of Memorial Coliseum, we don't believe this matters very
much to the student, at least not this year.

Don't Worry About Becoming
An Alcoholic, Columnist Says
By PAUL KNAPP

Following the holiday season and Temperance
Week in Kentucky we have some good news for
some people, who have befn worrying about becoming habitual alcoholics.,
Not long ago an unusual fellow came to our attention and gave us a useful remedy for this bonded disease. This is the story as he told it to us.
Back when he was a brand-nefreshman he
started in drinking liquor as many young fellows
do. At first his imbibing amounted to just experimentation! with
the liquid, and he found that he
could get quite a buzz from only
a few drinks. But after a while of
constant application he found that
the habit was getting ahold of

and pitch a drunk at the slightest provocation in
fact he needed absolutely no incentive at all.
So he asked many of the
social drinkers
what they did to maintain a moderate amount of
drinking without becoming obsessed with the idea
of getting drunk constantly. They explained to
(him that they only drank when there arose occasions calling for a celebration, such as holidays,
birthdays, and outstanding events. This seemed to
him a very fine idea and he thought that it should
solve all his drinking problems.

Then he was confronted with finding those occasions that did deserve to be celebrated. Of course,
he knew many of the common ones from memory,
but the number seemed altogether too few for a
year's total.
At the library he found the almanac that listed
all the national and state holidays for every day
in the year, and he was surprised to find out that
there were a total of 3J3 prominent occasions during the year excluding Sundays when the bars
were closed.
You caa't imagine the joy that this discovery
brought to him and has brought to him ever since.
Every time we run into him in
