Library Has New
Foyer Displays
There are two displays in the
foyer of the Margaret I. King Library. One of Architectural Photography of Houses and one of the
Department of Library Science.
The architectural display consists of a group of interesting interior photographs taken from a
book by Robert C. Cleveland. The
book, the first of its kind, gives
techniques and examples of good
home interior and exterior photography. The display and the
book itself should be of interest
not only to photographers, but to
home owners and builders as well.
The pictures show a wide variety
of home decoration.
, Cleveland, a West Coast photographer, displays his work in the
nation's top professional and consumer magazines.
The display was made up by Dr.

The meeting was attended by
men students in journalism inter-

ested in taking part in journalism
projects on the campus.
The group voted to change the
charter of the club to include
freshman and sophomore students.
Marney Beard, editor of the Kernel, presided over the meeting until the selection of Hammons as
;hairman. Also present at the
meeting were representatives .of the
Kernel, the Kentuckian, Sigma
Delta Chi, and the faculty.
Dr. Niel Plummer, director of
the School of Journalism, gave a
brief talk on the need for making
the club an active organization.
Dr. Plummer said that the student
publications need more and better
trained staffs. The possibility of a
daily Kernel in the near future
ivill require staffs capable of carrying . out this project and the
VVatterson Press Club can help
provide these needed people. Dr.
Plummer said.
The purpose of the Henry Watterson Press Club as stated in its
constitution is to afford men journalism students an opportunity for
mutual association in a professional journalism society; to further
an interest in journalism and to
promote a high professional standard of work among its members.
The Ptess Club, formerly an organization for upper division journalism students, voted to pledge
only freshmen and sophomores in
the future, but to allow students
to remain in the organization for
lour years if they so desire.
New freshmen and sophomore
members of the club, who will form
the nucleus of the group for the
coming school year include, in addition to Hammons, Robert Stevens, Pete Perlman, Curney Norman, Norman McMullin, Kenneth
Robinson, and Tom Young.

Loss from the fire which completely destroyed a tobacco barn
on the UK Experiment Station
Farm Sunday night was estimated
today at approximately $7,000 by
the Compi roller's Office.
Of this amount, $3,900 was covered by insurance carried by the
University on the building, which
had been recently converted from
a three-ben- t
tobacco barn to a
warehouse containing forage-dryin- g
equipment that had just been
placed in opc.ation.
The blaze was first reported at
6:56 p.m., and by the time firemen
inched their way through heavy
traffic, the building was beginning
to collapse when they reached the
.

larger tobacco barn located next
to the burning building. The fire,
which had threatened to spread to
the larger barn and another barn
about 100 yards from the burning
structure, was finally brought under control by the firemen without
further damage.
The barn itself was a total loss.

TILL WE MELT AGAIN
I always

find myself yawning hugely when a comedian,
having finished his act, steps out in front of the curtain,
takes off his putty nose, assumes a sincere stance, and de-

livers an oration full of tender and lofty sentiments.
So how come I'm doing precisely the same thing right now?
Two reasons. First, because I couldn't possibly make you
laugh at this time of the year; cramming for finals has left
you wan, woebegone, and in no mood for innocent merriment.
Second, because this is the last column of the current
series, and I'd be a liar if I didn't admit I was just a tiny
bit choked up.

Jt was two years ago that the makers of Philip Morris
asked me to write this column. ' My first impulse, frankly,
was to say no. Though I am a man who likes a dollar as well
as the next fellow, my talents just do not seem to lead me
in the direction of writing advertising copy. When called
upon to rhapsodize about soap or sox or cigarettes, I get to
giggling uncontrollably and have to be helped home.
"Buddies," said I to the makers of Philip Morris, "I smoke
y
Philip Morris myself, and I think it's a
cigarette.
I think it is a cigarette. Not a graven image.
But that's all
Not a love object. Just a smoke. I'm afraid I can't get reverent enough to write ad copy for you."
To my astonishment, they seemed delighted. "Reverence
is not required," said the people at Philip Morris. They assured me that I would not be required to write fulsome commercials that I could rib the cigarette and the company all
I liked that my columns would be mine alone, with no
editing, no suggestions, and no supervision.
"Hah!" I said by way of reply.
But they kept insisting and finally, my thin breast full of
misgivings, I went to work.
For the first few weeks they were scrupulously true to
their words. Not one syllable, not one comma, was ever
changed ; not one quarter-ounc- e
of pressure was ever exerted.
my doubts were not laid to rest. "When will the honeyBut
moon be over?" I kept asking myself.

is that the honeymoon is

still going on. This finishes my second year for Philip Morris.
During that time, though I'm sure my copy caused an occasional conniption fit in the boardroom, my carte blanche has
remained as blanche as the day it was issued. Whatever I've
perpetrated in this column has been, as they guaranteed,
mine alone.
They've been living dolls, the makers of Philip Morris,
and I think I may be forgiven for getting a trifle misty. And
as long as the stops are out, let me say that it's also been a
big charge writing for you, the college population of America.
Your response has warmed my old heart, and on the occasions
when I've visited your campuses, it's been deeply gratifying
to see that you're still as pleasantly disorganized as ever.
I figure that as long as the likes of you exist, I'm in business.

MAN ON CAMPUS

IITTIE

A Scholarly Suggestion
were being defeated by closing the library
on Sunday. The vast majority of students
who wish to go home over the w eekend arc
continuing to do so regardless of whether
the library is open on Friday or not. Hut if
the library were to be opened on Sunday,
these students would at least be provided
with aii incentive for returning to the campus early Sunday, rather than late Sunday
night, or Monday morning.
Ideally students should do their homework for the coming week before Sunday
night. Hut this condition does not exist.
There always have been, and there always
will be, many who put off this homework

Although the Spring semester is rapidly
drawing to a close, now would seem to be
the appropriate time for the Library Committee to consider the possibility of leaving
the library open on Sunday night.
In all prolwbility no change in the library
schedule can be accomplished in the time
remaining this semester. However, the Library Committee, which is an advisory group
composed of faculty members, should give
some tliought to the problem at their Tuesday night meeting with a view towards next
year.
The alternative suggested by the committee, when SGA first submitted the idea of

leaving the library open oitSnnday night,
was to, if this plan were adopted, close it on
Friday night instead. If this is the only feasible solution, then it would still seem to be
an improvement, lint the question arises, is5
this alternative necessary?
Admittedly if the library were to be left
.open .on .both Friday. and Sundaynight, an
additional appropriation would have to be
made to take care of the extra help which
would be required. Hut since the University
just had its budget approved as submitted
to the state legislature for the first time in
UK's 91 years of existence, it would appear

that some of this extra money could be used
for such a worthy project as this.
One of the arguments advanced for leaving the library open on Friday and not Sunday is that it aids in preventing UK from becoming a "suitcase school". Proponents of
this theory claim that by giving students a
place to study on Friday night, many of
them would stay on the campus over the
weekend to take advantage of this opportunity.. But it would seem as if this purpose

their party affiliations, the incessant and trivial bickering, and get this constitution into
effect by next fall.
Another item of old business is opening
the Margaret I. King Library on Sunday
evenings instead of Friday evenings. This
project has been discussed and taken to the
Director of Libraries. Continued interest
must be shown by SGA in order to put it
into effect. It's the new Assembly's obligation to push this!
The improvement of the Avenue of Champions and other streets near the University
has been another project this past year. Continued interest and pressure must be applied if this measure is to be completed.
Two jam sessions have been tried at the
Wildcat. They have been at the request of
the students and have proved successful.

However, these jam sessions must be

beef sessions have proved their worth this
year. The true desires and complaints of the
students have been discovered through these
sessions. Will they be carried tin next year?

An obnoxious person is one who tries to
get his name in print. A more obnoxious
person is one who, after succeeding, shows
the odious item to all and sundry.
A person who campaigns to be a student

leader should realize that a broad mouth and
a broad mind are often inconsistent.
Now that the furor over the Cooperstown
prices has somewhat died down, another
question concerning housing arises. What
facilities are to be provided for the expected 1G,(KX) students that will pervade the
UK campus by 19G5?

More High Rents
Dear Editor:
Tin writing in regard to hist week's "High Rent?" letter. I
don't tare to present a detailed argument against it. Hut
would like to ask our "anoin mous" friend a couple of questions.
II apartments in town arc "scare as hen's teeth and high as
a tal's back," as the letter stated, then hae the people who have
lived in Sbawneetown and Cooperstown over the past ten veais
done so run i "hail taste" or lioin necessity?
Also if the apartments in town are now high what elicit will
the University's i barging Ni'."0 lor one room and kitchenette
and S72..r)0 lor two rooms and kitibenette have on town pijics:
Slart looking next kill and vou will see.
Signed unhesitatingly,

Remember these points and reread the
party platforms which were printed in the
Kernel. It is up to yoti to see that SGA faces
these challenges and is truly the voice and
power of the student body.

defi-- n

the final authority lies in the hands of the
library staff itself, headed by Dr. Lawrence
S. Thompson, subject, of course, to the approval of the University. Dr. Thompson has
publicly stated that he is in favor of a Student Library Committee being formed to
act in an advisory capacity, much as the
Faculty Library Committee does.
If interested students would take appropriate steps to form such a committee, and
if the faculty committee were to take a firm
stand and submit a recommendation that
the library be left open on Sunday night,
even if only on a trial basis at first, this
would at least be a step forward towards
the realization of the suggested change.

Armed Forces Day
Tomorrow, May ll, the nation will mark its seventh observance ol the mual Armed lories Day. Those iritirs who
sroir at such a show of patriotism should he reminded of the
Russian May Day celebration where thousands of tanks, planes,
and instruments of war of all shapes and sizes arc paraded down
the main streets of the major cities of many of the Soviet satellite countries.
These Russian displays of military might are for the sole
satellites with the
purpose of impressing' these already-cowetremendous potentiality of the Russian power juggernaut,
whereas the American demonstrations, j)erfonncd by members
of one of the few remaining free countries in the world, serve t
remind the Anient an. people- that to remain free, you must remain vigilant.

Congra tu la tions
'The Kernel congratulates Paul Kggum and Hetty Jo Martin,
recipients of the highest individual award given by the University to members of the graduating (lass.
'The Sullivan' Medallions, presented to Miss Martin and
Kggum at the annual Honors Day lunttion Monday night, signify outstanding leadership and scholarship.
Their award is
equivalent to recognition of the recipients as outstanding examples of a college student.
.
Throughout their college careers, Miss Martin and Kggum
have demonstrated those characteristics for which they were
honored by the selection committee.

Short Shifts
The street behind the Home Kcononu'cs Building has been
repaired. But there is still no sign of improvement on the
Avenue of Champions, commonly known as the "cowpath".
