The Senate's official "laborer in
charge of private passage" turned
out today to be a Janitor with a
fancy title.
But no one seemed quite sure
where the private passage is.
Aides to Joseph.J. Duke, Senate
sergeant-at-arm- s,
said the title is
a relic of the early days of Congress and has no relation to the
actual assignment of John M.
Price, who holds the position.
They said also that the title has
no relation to the job of Donald
L. Bryant listed on the official
senate payroll as "female attendant, ladies retiring room."

To Meet Thursday
The Committee of 240 will, meet
at 7:30 o'clock Thursday night to
receive instruction on how to speak
to high school seniors.
The meeting will be held in the
Taylor Education Building Auditorium.

President Frank G. Dickey will
speak at the meeting and a film
will be shown.
The committee, reorganized last
year after several years of absence
from UK, Is ideally composed of
two UK students from each of the
state's 120 counties.
Lewis Donohew, of the University's Public Relations Department which is sponsoring the program, said that it was "very important" that delegates attend
since it is the only meeting of the
committee.
Donohew said that the committee presently totals about 175, but
he expects more replies from students to arrive during the next few
days.
Students are asked by the Public
Relations Department to become
members of the committee, but
Donohew said it was strictly vol.

Petrified Wooden Tables
Once Used By Engineers
By BOB PERKINS
Slabs of petrified wood were

crce u?ed for tables in the

Engi-

neering study hall.
Senator Henry Clay was partially
responsible for the tables. They
were made from sections of the
famous sycamore tree which once
ftood in the middle of Richmond
Read near the Clay home.
The tree, originally planted by
Mr. Clay, was the subject of much
controversy In the early 1900's. Lexington progressives wanted It
as a traffic obstruction.
Traditionalists protested desecration of the historic landmark.
It .was eventually cut down, with
the use of specially constructed
raws and it required six days labor
of a dozen men.
The tree was worked into slabs,
fix feet in diameter and one foot
thick, in the' Dicker Hall Shops.
Iron table legs and matching
chairs were fabricated in the Engineering Foundry and the sets were
placed in the Dicker Hall Assembly
Room and study hall.
Dicker Hall was torn down In the
late 19308 for construction of the
?outh end of the present Engineering Quadrangle.
At that time. Dean Paul Anderson and Jack Dicker, nephew of
"UK's Superintendent of Shops,
both members of Triangle Fraternity, donated most of the tables to
Triangle.

dated laws are not in effect. The

Over the years, it has been the firm
policy of the Kernel that it would not
stick its editorial nose into politics,
since it might later result in a slicing
of monetary benefits for the University, its building program, salaries, and
research.
But we do not consider the recent
ruling of the Court of Appeals' to limit
the salary of state officials to $12,(XX)
a year a "hands-of- f
matter; it is one
which directly affects Jie University,
and undeniably UK will have a considerably difficult task in circumventing the court's decision.
Now, we cannot wave our magic
wand and create suggestions to have
the ruling appealed or repealed; but
we can implore the Legislature, newly
elected state officials, and the court
itself to consider the ominous consequences of the decission, as if they
have not already been publicized
enough. They are indeed worthy of
contemplation.
First, it could mean the death of
the new Medical School at least as
far as its prestige is concerned. No
man of sound judgement would expect
a position here for $12,000, thereby
leaving a profession- which pays him
thousands" more. It seems imbecilic
to construct such a modern, expensive
center, and then be limited to even
adequately compensate its personnel.
Secondly, it would result in the loss
of competent UK educators to institutions in other states where such out

Uni-

versity's academic standards would
immediately suffer, and efforts of devoted men to maintain them would be
frustrating and ineffective for lack of
personnel.
Thirdly, the growth of UK, planned
most optimistically in the campus
master plan, would be shackled by the
salary limitation, and years of planning and foresight would have to be
cast down the drain.
We are aware that there are private
funds in which the University might
gain access to in order to survive
while the salary limitation is being replaced. But these funds would hardly
provide even pittance over a long
period of time. They could not be expected to carry the load that will have
to come.
If this corrosive and horrid law is
allowed to remain in the constitution
much longer, we can only foresee disaster for the University of Kentucky;
and we do not consider our view a
sensational one. That's why we beg
our present and future state officials
to make the quickest and most efficient steps to eradicate the law.
Perhaps our evaluations of possible
consequences are not the only ones
which could be mentioned; but at
least, they are not quite as pessmistic
as one individual's. He expects to see
the following sign posted soon on the
Administration Building's lawn:
"For sale. One university."

Sloughing Responsibility
It must be rather disappointing to,
some students to find out that many
midterm grades are meaningless, but
some professors have reported to their
classes that they have given all class

of how they are doing in various
classes.

Preclassification has necessitated
that students know what they are doing in their classes. But the
manner in which some professors are treating the grades is not
indicative of good University instruction, nor is it an incentive to good
scholarship for students. "
. UK students have long been the
target oi professors who claim academic responsibilities are taken too
lightly. But professors who slough off
the importance of returning grades
are neither to be respected nor
lack-idasic-

members a grade of "C" because they
didn't have time to grade test papers
or just didn't believe in giving accurate midterm grades.
Many have admitted grading much
harder at miatrjn than at the end
of the semester, and others . ( of the
more1 impotent type) have failed to
send in any grades at all. Thus many
students have received no indication

The Readers' Forum
A Suggestion
To The Editor:
Becent discussions relative to a
football holiday suggest the need for
more consideration of the plae of athletics in the University program. In
t hie eyes of the public, it seems that
one of the primary functions of a university is to have winning athletic
teams. In the light of this emphasis,
the student request for a holiday
seems reasonable.
May I suggest that in looking forward to next year, a plan be worked
out which allows for a holiday from
classes for each game that is won and
an extra day of classes for each game
that the home team loses. This would
permit athletic success to influence
college life much as success in college now influences the life of an in
dividual in the years that follow.

j Praise For UK

To The Editor:
To President Dickey:
It was nice to return to the UK
campus again, to meet old friends,
observe that the same old spirit that
prevailed in 1925 is still in evidence,
and to witness an excellent football
game.
Alumni in Middle Tennessee did
not find anything of which to be
proud in a dispatch in a Nashville
paper stating that sitdown strikes in
Lexington streets had been staged by
students protesting the Faculty's refusal to grant a holiday.
Of course .we understand college
students. I was one for nine years
the most glorious four of which were
spent at UK. Students should be
proud and feel fortunate to have the
splendid faculty at the University to
teach and guide them. They were the
most inspiring of any I had, including
the eminent professors at Vanderbilt
and John Hopkins. They were just
"tough enough to be competent,
patient enough to be human, and intelligent enough to know what we
needed to learn."
During the game, when the chant
"We want a holiday" rang out, other
alumni and I stated "We'll bet they
didn't get it," and the Faculty's stand
on the matter, by not yielding to a
popular demand, should be a quality
appreciated by all students. The University, I observe, still has a splendid
faculty. Students who are fortunate
enough to receive instruction under
their professors there will think the
,

same thing with a little more time and
seasoning, if they haven't decided that
already. I considered it a privilege to
Income a member of the Century
Club and feel that even greater things
are in store for this fine old school.
