The $28,000 additional cost, based on a

and security costs.
"The additional cost is nominal." said Robert F. Kerley, vice
president of business affairs and treasurer. "It is only $100 to
$150 a day over what it usually is."
Indications are, however, that the cost may top the $28,000

First Donovan Scholar Gets Deirree

-

S

A Midway woman who for
years has commuted to her Lexington school teaching job and
classes at the UK is the first of
the University's Donovan Scholars to receive a degree.
Mrs. Amanda Newell Hicks,
who earned
an elementary
teacher's certificate after attending Eastern Kentucky Teachers
College at Richmond in 1918-1-

ill

and subsequently taught in
Pulaski County, Frankfort,
Georgetown and Midway, has
completed requirements at UK
for a degree in elementary education.
The II. L. Donovan Senior
Citizens Fellowship Program
was inaugurated at UK in 1964
to provide free instruction to any
interested person 65 years or
older. The 200 or so students
who have taken advantage of
this opportunity to date have
sampled a wide array of courses.
Most of them were motivated

The Student Center Board has
placed this variation of the suggestion box near the grill, and
has invited students to insert
their gripes or suggestions on
anything related to the campus.
The contributions will be discussed at student sessions with
Vice President for Student Affairs Robert L. Johnson to be
announced later.

She no longer manages the
family farm near Midway, which
she took ov er alter her husband's
death in 1910 and while her two
sons were absent, at school and
in military seivice. The sons now
have completed college and settled down not faraway. Hobert,
a UK graduate, manages the
e
farm and operates a
store. Newell, a veterinarian,
practices in Woodford County.
Mrs. Hicks' receipt of her
UK degree marks the culmination of many years' effort: summer classes at UK, correspondence courses, business education classes at Midway Junior
College, and commercial studies
at a Lexington business college.
Nor does she intend to stop
now. She has plans for continued
classroom work under the Donovan program.
She recently told the pro

The Donovan program continues to attract wide attention.
After a national publication ran
an article about the program in
April, 20 persons from 13 states
wrote for additional information.

Mrs. Hicks drives her station

wagon to Lexington every week-

day with eight passengers all
of them children who attend
Sayre School. In addition to the
fifth grade at Sayre, she teaches
a high school typing class.
Two other women who
studied under the Donovan program this summer lived much
as other UK coeds do. Mrs.

industrialist from Indianapolis,

* Problem

A Complex
The dorm complex situation is
one of the most complex problems
now facing University officials, and
a satisfactory solution or explanation of how it ever happened in
the first place is nowhere insight.
Original contract deadline for
"absolute completion" of five-lorise structures in the complex was
w

Sept. 5. The University administration and 700 students learned the
hard way that such an optimistic
deadline could not be met. The
University was left holding the
proverbial bag which resulted in
housing students in such "undormi-tory-like- "
quarters as the Phoenix
Town House Motel, and
Hotel,
Medical Center.

Sept. 5, University officials were
assured until a fateful late summer meeting with a state engineerthat quarters would be
"liveable" for students by Aug.
28. Thus, with such assurances,
an inked contract, and, perhaps,
a
heart, University officials assigned more than 700 students to these dormitories.

But where was their alternative? Their hands were tied by
state officials who negotiated the
contract and waited until the latest
possible moment to inform the
University it would not be met.
It is indeed unfortunate that more
leeway was not allowed in both
the contract deadline and in communicating its fate to the University.

material delivery problems, and
unavailability of skilled tradesmen

Letters To The Editor

An Example For Others
The announcement that Dr.
Edmund D. Pellegrino will leave
the University to become medical
center director at a new campus
of the State University of New
York is a disappointing one.
Dr. Pellegrino, organizer of the
University's Department of Medicine and chairman of the department since its establishment, has
been one of the leading forces
behind numerous progressive programs initiated at UK in recent
years. Since joining the UKfaculty
in 1959, he not only has worked
faithfully within his own department and college, but he has been
active in all aspects of the University community, including ser

ving as chairman of the University
Senate Council.
Along with his active participation on committees and councils, Dr. Pellegrino has continued
to be one of the top research
scientists on campus. Last spring,
he was named winner of the Alumni
Association Research Award.
Although we can appreciate Dr.
Pellegrino's desire to direct a new
medical center, we regret that the
University must lose his services.
UK still has numerous provincial
faculty members and administrators, but the example set by Dr.
Pellegrino is reassuring and one
w e hope others will follow.

New Sidewalks At Last
It is with pleasure that we note
the University has finally underd
taken repair of the
sidewalks on campus. Many of these
walkways, eroded by time and
weather and w orn by the increasing
number of students, have deteri-oate- d
to the point where they have
become not only unattractive, but
also dangerous.
Many of the present sidewalks
were built by the Works Project
created by the
Administration,
federal government in the 1930's
to ease the plight of persons ravaged by the economic ills of the
times. Little work has been done to
the walkways until recently.
badly-damage-

Although the walks have been
a safety hazard for a number of
years, Farris says there is "always
a shortage of funds" and that this
is t lie first year he was able to
set aside some money for the work.

Hopefully, the new sidewalks
will not go without repair or replacement for as long as the present
ones.

in human rights on campus. While
many campuses around the country
are overflowing with a myriad of
protest groups and social and political activists, the University campus has seemed awkwardly silent.
This is not to suggest that radicalism is necessarily a good attribute of University life; but it is
to suggest that an absence of
apparant anxiety over such basic
issues as social justice or international relations indicates some
kind of corporate apathy. And when
a Campus Committee on Human
Rights can consistently fail to draw
enough participation to hold the
organization together, one can only
assume that its failure is due in
a large part to student disinterest.
The University's Campus Com- mittee on Human Rights is neither
a right nor a left wing radical
organization. It is not pushing for
Free Love, Back to the Bible, or
Ban the Bomb. It is highly con- -

cemed about the quality of student life on the University campus.
Whether the issue be racial discrimination or discontent over some
University policy, the committee
attempts to be a forum through
which students can get involved
in a responsible way in an honest
debate of issues.
It may be pure luck that enables
the Committee to organize and
function this fall. With no budget
and only a few interested members
the odds are it will go out with
a whimper. But its death, in my
opinion, will be a sad commentary
on the sensitivity and enthusiasm
of our student body.

No Place To Kat
Monday, August 9, during the
period after the end of summer
school and before the start of the
fall semester, I was working on a
new course to be given this fall.
Shortly after noon I went with two
other staff members to the Student
Center cafeteria for lunch. The grille
was closed. The faculty club was
closed. The cafeteria lines were all
closed except one. It had a sign
which read "Band Only." Apparently there was no place on campus
where we could buy lunch.
In my opinion, it is inexcusable
that a major University will not
make lunch available for the people
who work there, but rather will
allow the facilities to remain
unused.

O'Conner Wants Kennedy

That decision is whether to

Should Resist
Moving War To The Delta

WASHINGTON
Fighting
the war in Vietnam is like learning according to Pope: "Hills
peep o'er hills, and Alps on
Alps arise!"
Just now there are coming
into view the hills announcing
the next bunch of Alps. And
with them come reasons, more
abundant and pressing than ever,
for trying to break up the whole
crazy, deadly process of escalation. The more so as there are
now signs of realignment on the
other side, leading Hanoi, after
years of straddling, to come down
on the side of Moscow and part
company with Peking.
The next military step in Vietnam is for American troops to
carry the war to the South. That
means, specifically, to the Mekong Delta below Saigon where
