my limpid brown eyes closed in reverie,
a plume of white smoke curling lazily upward from my excellent
Philip Morris cigarette, I remember a lovely and affecting
book called Blood on' the Grits by that most talented young
Southerner, Richard Membrane Haw. It is a tender and poignant
story of a sensitive Alabama boy who passes safely through
A lovely and
puberty only to be devoured by boll weevils
affecting book.
I puff my splendid Philip Morris cigarette and close my dancing blue eyes and recall another book, a thrilling true adventure,
lovely and affecting, called
Climbed Everest the Hard Waif
by Cliff Sherpa. Mr. Sherpa, as everyone knows, was the first
man to reach the peak of Mt. Everest by tunneling from below.
In his book he gives a lovely and affecting account of his trip,
which was not as easy as it sounds, you may be sure.
I light another merry Philip Morris cigarette and close my
lambent hazel eyes and recollect another book Life on the Farm
by Dick Woolly. This is a short book only 55 words and
rather a dull one. It would not be worth mentioning here were
it not for the fact that the author is a sheep.

LITTLE

Give The Lawyers A Break
IafFcrty Hall, Ixtwom classes, is the scene
of rollicking football games, heated discussions of politics, debate over t!w attrilaitrs
of the coeds passing by, and
penny-pitchin-

g

exercises.

The young men gathered there nre the
prospective lawyers and state leaders of Kentucky. They certainly need these few minutes of relaxation, Ix'causc many and long
are the hours that they spend inside their
sacred halls poring over torts, criminal law,
and "cigarette cases".
This is the way most of the UK students
know and think, of the Law College. Too
few ever get inside the doors and actually
see what makes it tick, or realize the effort,
energy, and time expended by both the students and faculty in maintaining the successful Law College that they have.

In the face of a national decrease in enrollment of law students, UK's enrollment
has continued to increase. UK has one of

of the 128 law schools approved by the
American Bar Association.

Known and recognized to be the "roughest'' college on campus, the Law School has
continued 16 keep improving in the last
year. They have acquired several thousand
books from the old State Library and have
redecorated the class rooms.
Along the lines of improvement, the law
school has approved a Legal Kescarch Committee nport asking for a permanent agency
to coordinate legal research and to cooper

ate with other agencies inside and outside
the University.
They sponsored the first Kentucky Traffic
Court Conference, have refitted one room as
a courtroom and have approved the policy
of conducting seminars on a regular basis for
second and third year law students.' These
seminars were begun this semester.

TIkw were evidently frying to give something to some students for nothing (D's),
but have only taken more away from those
indents who have a little less of nothing
(E's) and have caused a great deal of unnecessary work.
A better solution to the problem would
have leen to figure all standings by the method used when computing quality points for
graduation. When grades are figured toward
graduation, the E's and failing withdrawals
;.re not considered.
This would have eliminated many of the

in law are some of the most

outstanding students on campus and have
in many cases proved to be the campus leaders. The faculty of the law school, which was
increased by one this year, has established
a record of achievement, service and activity.
These students, their faculty, and their
progress during the past few years deserve
a great deal of credit, because they have kept
progressing into one of the best of the nation's smaller law colleges.

Their needs at the present, according to
Dr. II. L. Donovan's annual report, are more
funds for books and scholarships and an addition to Laffertv Hall or a new building.
The annual Law Day trial is an event of
interest. The growth and accampus-wid- e
complishments of the law school should be
of state wide interest. It is the cornerstone
of the state's future, as President Donovan
states in his report.
These men and women of the law school
deserve .much more attention and recognition than they have received in the past.
Theirs is an outstanding and encouraging
achievement of success for the University of
