Tlie University's new A. B. Chandler Medical Center will he heated ami cixled by a
$2,103,000
plant, whiih has been under construction since July I.
Choice of coal as a fuel for the medical school' heating and cooling plant was a victory for Kentucky's major mineral resource. The use of coal, rather than natural gas and
electricity, was decided by the engineering division cr the Kentucky Dcpaitment of Finance
at Frankfort.
It was learned by the Kernel this week that the final decision was made in the face ot
recommendations by Ellerbc and Co. of St. Paul, Minn., consulting engineers and architects
in charge of construction of the medical school, that gas and electricity be used for the
heating and cooling facility.

the boilers will be capable of providing about 70,000 pounds of
steam for shorter periods of time.
It is estimated that the plant
will consume about 40 tons of coal
a day. Apparently the coal supply
will be trucked to the plant site
from a railway spur or directly
from mines. Ashes also will have to
be trucked from the boiler plant.

How To Meet Your Mate

Dr. Leslie Gives Dating Clues
By MEREDA

DAVIS

"The ability to learn to date
properly will determine the ability
to choose the right person for marriage," said Dr. Gerald Leslie, professor of Sociology and director
of the Marriage Council Service at
Purdue University.
Dr. Leslie spoke. Tuesday night
ign Auauonum m
at" cmiveTsuy
the first of a lecture series being
given by the Fayette County
FamilyRi?lations CounciL
According to Dr. Leslie, there
are various developmental tasks
for the stages of life. These stages
must be conquered successfully before the person can go on to the
next stage.
Dr. Leslie cited statistics taken
from results' of studies of high
school and college students all
over the country as a basis for his
talk on "What Boys and Girls
Expect of One Another in Dating."
The questionnaires were chosen
from people of different races, religion, and background experiences
to make a more accurate analysis.
.

The studies showed that boys
and girls have similar problems in
beginning dating. The old "idea
that girls are mysterious and hard
to understand has come into existence because boys and girls tend
to be shy in discussing their fears'
and ideas. Dr. Leslie suggested
that it would be ideal if boys and
girls would admit to each other
that tney are" shy Tr scared.
The. problem of keeing the opposite sex interested was shared
by both boys and girls. This fear
is the basic cause of show-off- s,
dressflirts, and
ers. The questionaires showed that
both boys and girls did not like
people they dated to be flirtatious
or to pretend they were something
they were not. Dr. Leslie said that
It might be helpful, if the boy or
girl told his date that he liked her
the way she was, and that it
wasn't necessary to pretend with
him.
The need to prove how big or
important one is can cause a
strained relationship between a
boy and girl. The "bull sessions"
over-pretentio-

us

are a result of trying to gain prestige among your friends. When the
other person hears what has been
said about him, he will feel hurt
and may not have anything more
to do with that particular person.
The studies showed that dependability, compatible interests, pleasant disposition and manners, and
a good sense of humor were the
Important traits both "boys
girls looked for in choosing a marriage partner. Very few young
people are fooled by the glamour
aspect in dating.
Some of the things which
weren't considered important in
choosing a marriage partner were
physical beauty, popularity in dating, and romantic appeal. Girls
wanted a husband who showed
promise of getting ahead. Boys
wanted a wife who knows how to
cook and keep house.
In a test made with engaged
couples, it as found that three-fourtof them were not madly in
love with each other. Dr. Leslie

The party's central committee
also approved the implementation
of an information program in conjunction with the Campus Party.
This will be directed mostly to
ireshman students in the dorms
and will be designed to acquaint
them with student government

Med Library's Transfer
Is Scheduled For 1959-6- 0
Transfer of the numerous medical volumes to the Medical Science
ruildir.g will take place in late
1959 or early 1960, according to
Alfred W. Brandon, head medical
librarian of the Chandler Medical
Center Library.
Present headquarters for the
medical library is the Margaret
King Library, where oncoming
material Is being processed.
A great amount of material has
teen accumulated through gifts,
exchange, purchase and transfer
cf books from the main library.
The Medical Library has about
4.500 books and about 18,000 bound
journals. Approximately 800 journals are currently being received.
When the library is completely
developed, it will contain 80,000
to 100,000 volumes.
Mr. Brandon said that a full
iitaff that includes five professional librarians, four clerical
workers, and student part-tim- e
help has recently been hired. The
staff is now processing new material at the Margaret King
Library.
All materials are being stored in
the library annex and in two stor

age rooms in the Cooperstown development.
Recently the Medical Center
Library acquired a
collection of Journals, described
as a "rich research store." from
the Wistar Institute of Anatomy
and Physiology in Philadelphia.
"The materials." said Brandon,
"give the library a very firm
foundation for its basic collection."
The library Is giving some public service at the present time and
expects to give additional service
as It develops, Brandon said. 1,1

Another Smokestack
Rising some 120 feet above the
landscape at the University's new
A. B. Chandler Medical Center will
be a majestic smokestack, carrying
off the waste products of what has
been estimated at a minimum of 40
tons of coal per day.
While there is disagreement as to
precisely how much smoke this plant
will generate, or how detrimental it
will be to surrounding 'areas, there
are other points to be considered.
The planned installation is being
made against the recommendation of
a firm of engineers with -- some 44
years experience in building medical
structures including the Mayo Clinic
in Rochester, Minn.
We do not have' the technical
knowledge to debate the relative
merits of different fuels for this plant,
nor do we intend to convey an approval of one fuel over another. Considered on their own merits, either
natural gas, electricity or coal could
be proved with proper juggling of
figures and relative advantages to
be the superior fuel.
It does seem, however, that the
recommendation- - of a competent engineering firm would be enough assurance that one type of fuel is more
suitable than another. Conversely, it
is difficult to understand how state
authorities can justify the choice of
(oal as a fuel, especially when an

v.
-.

analysis showed it to be neither as
economical nor as efficient as other
fuels.
No reasons for coal being chosen
have been given, but several possibilities are evident. It would, some
might say, aid the state's economy.
Hut the consumption of the medical
0
school plant, estimated at abJut
tons annually, would hardly aid
the coal industry enough to justify
spending $370,000 merely for coal

Other problems also are evident.
First, there is no railroad spur to the
plant site; unless one is built, the coal
will have to be brought in by truck.
Additionally, ashes will have to be
hauled away from the plant, again by
truck. Too, there is the matter of a
coal reserve which must be kept
stored somewhere in the event of
strikes or shipment stoppages. Finally,
w hile some say there will be no smoke
problem, we can but point to other
similar installations and their surrounding sooty, smoky areas. Perhaps
theirs weren't supposed to create
smoke problems, either.
It seems there must be reasons for
choosing coal when the overwhelming
mass of evidence showed it to be
undesirable for the medical center
plant. Who, we wonder, has the

ellite board system. The purchase of
these boards has already been' authori-

zed, but again there remains the
question of delivery and installation.
And this question also has no answer.
So, the wheels have started rolling.

Someday, perhaps, UK will have an
adequate telephone system. Right
now, callers can help to ease the
existing situation by recognizing that
the University's telephone equipment

and operators are terrifically

over-

loaded.
Since it is impossible for an operator to handle an incoming Lexingtoncall while looking up a

or

the dorm ctesk to find. .an. unknown

number. Then, either write it down
or remember it. Also, if a busy
signal is received on repeated calls,
phoning the University operator will
do no good. Remember, there are up
to 11) extensions on every dorm
phone.
Clearly, the present telephone system is grossly inadequate. Perhaps a
better understanding of the problem
and the knowledge that at least a
temporary remedy is in' store will
lessen the general chaos. Certainly it
will help us lie with it.

persons circulating them won't mind us
using them for editorial matter.
Wc realize that these cards arc being
doled out just so students can test their
skill at puking football winners, and
wc wouldn't dream of implying that
any exchange of money is involved. But
wc don't think outsiders, who often come
into the Grill, would understand this
innocent pastime, and we wouldn't want
to create any bail impressions.

If the betting on football games which
has nourished in the Grill the past few
days continues its unabated pace, it might

be a good idea to replace the sandwich
menus with tote boards, won-los- t
and other helpful hints.
The circulation of small white cards,
carrying the names of opponents in 30
football games and point odds for predicted winners, has increased to the point
where it is difficult not to notice it. Of
course, we realize the cards carry the
statement that they are to be used as

groomed to ultimately bear the dubious
title of leader.
All this stuff is grossly overemphasized

these phenomena). Some at this school,

It's just what the
Uiuve;sity of Kentucky FM Radio
Station (!(X's five hours a d.vy, 363
days a year.
WBKY, the official
of the station are derived from
slogan, i.sduly
the
licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to broadcast
on the assigned frequency of 91.3
megacycles on the FM band with
an effective radiated power of
3.000 watts, covering roughly a
radius of 40 miles.
It is not a commercially operated radio station. It cannot tell
radio time to sponsors locally or
nationally. Its prime purpose is
to allow students preparing for a
career in commercial radio and
television to gtt the valuable experience they'll nerd to further
their careers.
One- - of the station's aims is to
give listeners an opportunity to
hear programs that are not a regular feature of local or regional
commercially operated stations. It
also helps to tell campus news and
news about the University, helping
the listeners to better understand
the University's functions and activities.
From the programming standpoint, JWUKY has much to offer
its many listeners. In music,
AVBKY biidges the gap from
Milton (Shorty) Rogers to Johann
S. Bach-quittastefully. One can
hear dramatic shows, sports news,
special events, poetry and prose
readings, UK football arid basketball, plus many other programs
of diversified interest.
One program that deserves special mention is, "The University of
Kentucky Roundtable." Now in its
25th year, this program has persons who are experts in a particular field discuss .questions on
almost any subject. Distinguished
guests are interviewed on the program, and often UK faculty members are given an opportunity to
air their views on a given topic.
This is perhaps the most , informative program broadcast by
WBKY. It is so popular, that
WHAS-Radi- o
in Louisville, airs
program at 9:30 p.m. each
the
Wednesday. This same program is
heard on WBKY at 6:30 p. m.
Thursday.
All these programs are produced, directed and aired with the
help of UK students enrolled in
radio arts. With the advice of
radio arts instructors, these students go through the daily routine
of rad
