I.
Donovan,
President Hermat, V
new hed of the school announced!
an early meeting of the
that
board of trustees he would reconv- mend the construction of a new
gymnasium on the campus.
Although the president said the
complete plans would have to be
worekd up after a consultation with
faculty members most concerned.
he added that he believed a gym- adequate to the present
and future needs of the University
have a seating capacity of
about 12.000 around the maind play- ing floor, and should include a
swimming
pool, physical educa- classrooms and laboratories,
coaches offices, facilties for the
tTniversity merical clinic and staff,
dressing moms, handball courts and
so on
He said also that he thought such
gymnasium could be designed to
include a moveable stage so the main
floor could be used as an
pro-- !
auditorium for Junior-Wee- k
and other University and
other University and community
affairs.
GOVERNOR MCST AID
"The construction of this combined gymnasium and health building." he explained, "will have to
1

.t

be undertaken with the support of
the trustees. Governor Johnson and
the legislature. If the trustees and
the governor respond favorably. I
am sure the building can be obtain-ed.- "

The president declared that the
present Alumni gymnasium had

needs of the
school for years to come.

said, "but I am certain that it will

players and spectators,
"However." he continued,
though I have considered the need
'"" new gymnasium. I intend to
consult with the board of trustees
and with the faculty members be-t- n
fore proceeding with any plans. I
think that Mr. Shively, the athle- tic director: Coach Kirwan, Coach
Rupp. Dr. Potter of the physical
education department; Dr. Chambers of the University clinic and
Dean Graham of the engineering
college should be given an oppor-plavitunity of presenting their views
concerning
what should be
eluded in a new building, how it
should be arranged and where it
should be located. I hope to talk
to them within a day or two and
get their views on the matter."
COST ESTIMATED
Dr. Donovan declined to estimate
m

ld

ne

the probable cost of the structure,
but persons familiar with buildings
of this type and size have estimated
that it would be in the neighborhood
of a million dollars.
Commenting on possible financal
arrangements, he observed that:
"The State of Kentucky Is out of
debt, or will be shortly so far as
warrents are concerned, but it never
will be entirely out of debt until it
rehabilitates some of the dilapidated buildings at state institutions,
some of which are on the Universty
campus, and it will never be out of
debt until a health building is constructed for the young people of the
University."
NOT A FIELD HOl'SE
The President ventured that the
proposed building would not be of
type because, he
the
said, he believed the climate in
Kentucky
scarcely Justified the
construction of that sort of builET-in- g
which is used at some northern
universities located in colder climates. "There is no use," he
"of trying to wall In all
"field-hous-

out-door-

He pointed out, also that although
the plan for a new gymnasum
might be considered ambitious for
the University he believed the school
would ccntnue to grow and as the
principal institution of its type in
the state, it should have the best
facilities possible. He expressed the
hope that his proposal would receive popular support and that the
new building could be obtained in
the near future.

TRANSLATION
The Guiunol version of Lysistrata
is a combination of the translators
of Oates and O'Neill, and George
and Gilbert Seldes.
The plot of 'Lysistrata' concerns
s young Athenian woman who in- cited the women of Greece to take
control of the government and force
the men to stop war.
Used by the Moscow Art Theater,
the Seldes translation comments,
"Amazing as it may be. the coin
of its loading motives is still cur- rent after nearly two and a half
nvlleniums war. peace, nature, men.
women. And the conflirt between
these motives is just as far from
solution."
Suffragites. pacifiists. and other
groups with causes to champion have
used the play many times. Geiger

STAGE SWARMING
The Guignol's stage was swarming
with women. This, we were told,
was the class tn dramatic produc
tion which was producing 'Lysistrata'
b,, given on tne 15th 0f July.
4 tnat, there were eight
We were
girls ln the dass, an(j that there
wag nothing that they couldn't do.
Again we asked for Mr. Geiger.
;
"He's up there in the grid."
That was at least a lead. The grid
must be up. We looked up. The.
4 turned out to be a catwalk
twelve inches wide, within two feet
of the roof of the stage,
"May we see you for a moment?"
we shouted.
"Sure, be right down. Come on,
prances, let's quit for a while."
eyes popped. There was a coed
talking around on that twelve inch
feet from the
plant twenty-eigfloor, with as much ease as if she
were on the floor.
I'SfALLV HAVE FIVE
We commented on it when Geiger
reached the floor. "Well." he said,
"when this class began. I was a lit tie worried. You see, we use a crew
of at least five carpenters during the
regular session, and take five weeks
to produce a play. This summer. 1
had only four weeks for production,
and a class of eight girls to do all
the work. Since that time, my wor- ries have ended, however. I wouldn't
exchange this class of girls for a
male crew, regardless of the size,
"Why. I usually have difficulty
getting a man to go into the grid,
but Frances here, she's Frances
Howard of Harlan. Ky., has taken
it like a duck takes to water. She
loves to climb, and I have to in- vent excuses to keep her out of the
grid.

NOT CLASS
"We work every afternoon from
1:30 until about 5:00. We soon found
out that the hour and fifteen minutes that the University gives us
wasn t enough, so the girls decided
that they'd come over in the after- noons and really get some work
done. We're really not a class. We've
gotten over that feeling. We're just
a group of people who have gotten
together to produce a play as well
as we're able, and from the looks
of things right now, we're going to
be proud of our Job.

Two Objectives
Of His Program
"I do not expect any advances at
the University as great or greatet
than those already marie, without
further appropriations from the
state government." declared President H. L. Donovan in his first
speech to the student body last
Thursday.
"The progress made so far by the
University has been as great as can
be expected with the amount of
funds available." he asserted.
Speaking on the subject "Teachers and Teaching," President Donovan listed the two prime objectives
of his future administration.
TWO OBJECTIVES
The first, he declared, was to increase the financial resources of the
University to maintain the type of
progress that the mstituion should
have and he second was to emphasize good teaching and the rewarding recognition of those who proved themselves good teachers.

South American Cnrios, Books,
Maps On Display In Library
By ETHEL HUFFMAN
With South America relations tak- ing on added significance daily, the
(exhibit of books, maps, pictures,
and curios from the continent to
the south, now on display in the
lobby of the University library, is
particularly timely and interesting.
In the colorful exhibit brought
together by Miss Margaret King,
'librarian, is a broad panorama of
South America.
Highlighting
the display are
several pieces brought from South
America by Mrs. Alberta Server,
who spent a year there in study
and travel, visiting every South
American nation but Paraguay,
Included among these are two silver
spoons with handles shaped by the
natives in filigree, and two model- ed as representations of the native
cods.
