The University Medical Center bears the name of one of
the men who fought hardest to establish it Albert H. "Happy"
Chandler.
By DIANE ALLEN, Kernel

Chandler was serving his second term as governor of Kentucky
when the dream of a medical center at the University became a
reality.
"Governor Chandler worked very hard to obtain the Medical
Center," Dr. William R. Willard, dean of the College of Medicine
and vice president for the Medical Center, commented.
Remembering his part in the history of the medical center, Chandler said, "I'm happy to have helped bring it about because I knew how
badly we needed it. If I had not thought we needed the center I would
not have agreed to fight for it. And it was a fight! But somebody had
to f.ht. Somebody had to stand up in front of the guns.
"Before my election I backed the idea of a medical center.
When I became governor in 195'G I announced that it would be
built as soon as possible. Then all hell broke loose! You would
have thought I was fighting the battle of the Marne!"
In 1954, the University Board of Trustees took action to establish
a College of Medicine to be started when the General Assembly of the
State of Kentucky provides the necessary funds. Governor Chandler
presented a resolution which was adopted in May 1956 appropriating
the initial funds.
Dr. Frank G. Dickey, president of the University, announced at
the groundbreaking ceremonies in December, 1957, that the University Board of Trustees had voted unanimously to name the
medical center after Governor Chandler.
At the dedication ceremonies in September. 19f0, Governor Bert
Combs said, "Chandler's vision and perse rverence constituted the
driving force for transforming a wonderful dieam..1nto a reality."
"There is no question. We would not Iiava had a medical school
here for 25 years if it had not been for the wo;k of Happy Chandler," Dr. Francis Massie, a I.exiufton 'doctor who has also worked
hard for the medical cenler, declared.
Dr. J. C. Chambers, who was head of the University Health Service and a strong supporter of the medical eenter commented, "Governor Chandler's acts were the deciding factors He had the power and
used it. He promised before his election that if lie became governor he
would support a medical school and he stuck to that promise."

It's her own special nod to the

She may not give you any reasons

Of course, she probably won't
be able to recognize the label, because she may not be able to read
yet. But she will recognize the
beautiful way the materials and
flowers are fashioned into a hat.
She will recognize this because she
will see it is so like the hats in

This is learning quality and style
the easy way for her sense of

You will find that she knows
whether she wants much hat or
little hat. for she may choose from
a tiny circle of flowers to a
cloche.
Her circlet choice could be fashioned of freshly gathered daisies,
white as snow with yellow centers,
patterned on s. frame of green
velvet. And crowning it all. tiny
bows of chiffon nesting in the center top.
Her rloche choice may show her
patriotic side coming out on Easter. This, fashioned of white straw,
has a blue velvet band and tiny
red bows stationed like soldiers
around the brim.
For the little girl who wants to
look like the pictures she may
have seen of Mother as a child,
there's the
cap of
lace. It is lace all over, starched
and crisp, and softened with a
white velvet band and flat velvet
bow right in the center front.
Then there is the little girl who
has seen and heard so much of

Jackie Kennedy that she just
might want to have a breton for
her Easter parading. In a white
braid one with alternating bands
of yellow for a stripe effect, she
may find herself before the television cameras. A yellow velvet
band and bow in back adds more
color for the contrasting white.
And then there nmy be the little
girl whose favorite uncle will be
in Navy whites and she wants to
be his Easter girl. She may choose
the great sailor of milan straw
with white velvet band and white
streamers to swing the Easter-se- a
breeze.
Then, you may want to choose
her hat yourself, because you want
to make it one she can't hurt.
In that case, the cloche of soft
straw that is gently pleated and
rippled is one she can forget and
sit on in all the excitement of
finding her Easter basket and the
baby chick the bunny left. It is

Classroom attendance, term papers,
and outside reading assignments are
not the only things that will be coming into the "home stretch" in a few
weeks. Preparations are being made
now for UK's annual Little Kentucky
Derby activities. In fact, the early
stages of preparing for LKD began
long ago. One part of the event seems
to bo lagging, however, and the Kernel would earnestly like to see it
turned into a big success.
A national tobacco company has
agreed to donate one cent toward the
LKD scholarship fund for each empty
pack of three of the company's products deposited by students in designated receptacles. So far the response
lias been weak; for such a worthy
cause, we believe the response should
be strong. We are not "pushing" the
products of the tobacco company, but

we are "pushing" the purpose of the
agreement and the end result an
even larger LKD scholarship fund
that would result from increased interest on the part of students.
Little Kentucky Derby is one of
the finest weekends of activities sponsored and promoted by students at
any college or university. We're proud
of the time, clloit, and interst shown
by those members of the various LKD
committees who are working toward
the goal of providing a weekend of
good entertainment and a scholarship
fund which will bent fit a number of
worthy students at UK.
at the
Aside from attendance
various activities planned for the
Little Kentucky Derby, we think UK
students would be taking an even
bigger part by contributing toward
the scholarship fund in the form of
paper and cellophane wrappers.

Law Abiding Students
We want an assembly! we want
to be law abiding. We want Kentucky Revised Statute 158.270. What
is KRS 158.270? We quote part of
Article 1:
"It shall be the duty of the superintendent and principal of every
school and the president of every university, college, or academy to have
presented for a period of 30 minutes
to the entire student body in assembly at least on two occasions each
term or semester by an appropriate
program, the scientific, social, and
moral aspects of alcoholic beverages,
stimulants and narcotics."
Think of it an assembly of all
University students cn masse. It will
be bigger than the crowds at the
Rupp spectaculars. Consider, if you
can, the Coliseum filled with sturather than
dents,
townspeople.
Press row will be filled as never
ticket-bearin-

g

before. All will be waiting . . . waiting. The lights will dim slowly and
then a single bright spotlight will
slither about that gym seeking a
speaker. Then we shall see, hear, and
be secure.
The sudsy appeal of baseball
broadcasters will be put to shame. It
will be a great day for Kentucky, the
University of Kentucky, and the entire world. The Demon Rum will flee.
No more will parents weep over
their bleary-eyed- ,
hiccuping o f
No more will there be temptation. For lo and behold; in the
land of the Blue Grass, the sun shines
bright. KRS 158.270 has saved us.
Yes sir, gentlemen in the Admin;

158.270 says we have a right to one.

Our harshest strictures on others often
reveal indirectly our own greatest

faults. How truly Jesus spoke when
He said, "With what measure you
mete, it shall be measured to you
again. And why beholdest thou the
mote that is in thy brother's eye, but
considerest not the beam that is in
thine own eye?"

To The Editor:
The campus was very quiet this
past week while most of the students
were enjoying a well earned rest and
recouping their strength for the intense drive of term papers and examinations to the finish of another school
year. The beauty of the campus started just coming back. The inner quadrangle in all its beauty is now in full
bloom.
The purpose of this letter is to request that you publish the enclosed
letter below mine in order that the
students who have had the privilege
and the freedom of resting in Florida
or at home, can now have the opportunity to share with men who have
neither freedom nor sunlight. I hope
that your clientele who read this
paper will share with these men.
Please note that advanced textbooks in nuclear science are probably
not appropriate to send to Eddyville.
They have very few college graduates.
They have very, very few who have
even attended college. As a matter
of fact, the vast majority of the nun
there did not even finish high school
and some of them finished the eighth
grade this past year. They only have
elementary school at Eddyville. Notice what the chaplain has asked for.
May I suggest that possibly one of
the student organizations could take
this up and run with it? If they did,
they would help some very lonely
men.
I sincerely thank you for your
generosity in giving space to the
chaplain's letter. I hope that some of
you students who have had a refreshing rest will have the drive and
the energy and the good will to kick
this thing around among you and see
that these prisoners get a few books.
Thanks a lot.

Makes l'loa For Hooks
To The Editor:
To Mr. Harvey Sherer: The editor
of our institution magazine showed
me your Utter offering to help us
solve our book shortage. We very
much appreciate your concern, and
we will be grateful for anything you
may be able to send.
You asked what kind of liooks we
wanted. The truth is we're in need
of so many kinds of books it's hard
to say what we need most. One real
need is for poetry, of which we have
very little, and novels and short
stories by the better known writers
of every period. There is a demand
for histories and biographies of all
kinds, as well as for chemistry,
physics, biology, anthropology, psychology, religion, and philosophy.
Many of the inmates are sports
minded, too, yjid we have had several requests for books dealing with
boxing, baseball, and horse racing.
A number of men have indicated a
desire to learn a modern language or
to continue their study in mathematics.
Still another shortage is in reference books and dictionaries. The magazine office and some of the other
departments do not have dictionaries,
and there isn't a complete set of encyclopedia in the library. In short,
almost any book in usable condition
would be used and appreciated, and
we can guarantee to make space available for any and all donations.
The librarian tells me he is willing to make repairs on any good
looks you might be able to find regardless of their condition. All books
should be sent directly to me to avoid
complications.

Your Days Are Numbered

Now that the
and
vacation is over, the year
should be considered before it ends.
UK students have only a possible
six months, three weeks and seven
days of party time. ( Subtract 14 days
for Saturday classes.)
Registering for a school year
doesn't mean there will be any overabundance of classes.
Since income taxes and Florida
are still well in mind, figures are in
order for explanation. The calculations
are from Sept. 18, 1961, through Sept.
d

hard-earne- d

17, 1962.

There were 130 days in the fall
semester. The term began Sept. IS
and ended Jan. 25.
Thanksgiving and Christmas vacations were officially 4'2 days and
17 '2 days respectively.
Therefore,
there were 22 days out of class. There
were 23 weekend days during the
session.
This means there were 50 days
when students were not in class and
a total of 80 days free of class for
the entire semester. (Subtract seven
days for Saturday classes.)
Then there was semester break.
Add 10 more free days.
The second semester started February 5, and will end June 2. This
semester will officially be lllVz days
long.
Spring vacation was (supposedly)

S'2 days and there will be 28 weekend days. Total 36'2 days. (Substract
7 more days if you've been afflicted with Saturday classes again.)
Between June 2 and Sept. 18,
there will be 108 days for summer
vacation.
In one year, then, there is a total
of 160 '2 days for classes and 201 12
days for leisure if no time is spent
working after classes are over.
But, out of the jungle comes the
cry of the students, "We want a holiday."
Time in the outside world is definitely shorter than on campus. The
explanation has to be that the University officials have used their knowledge and experience against the unknowing students.
The whole UK area is enveloped
by a tremendous time machine. Each
in
minute is increased threefold
length.
This must be the answer just remember how short vacations have
been!

Spring Stylus Has
Substantial Talent

r

Instructor in English
The spring version of Stylus offers a variety of literary fare
that will entertain, stimulate, and occasionally annoy. Though
praccd by no writers of genius, the pages of Kentucky's literary
magazine are liberally sprinkled with talent of a fairly substantial order.
Cherry's style shows wit and polish.
The balance that Stylus achieves
