Old No. 1 Now Turned Out

The miniature steam locomotive is
first thing that catches your
as you enter the foyer of Ander- son Hall, the engineering building.

This engine, "No. 1," is a repro- duction, on a small scale, of an ac- tual steam engine used in the early
1900 s.
It has eight wheels and
weighs approximately 1500 pounds.
It measures 8 feet long by 40 inches
high and is 20 inches wide.

It was made in 1904 by Stewart M.
Morris, an engineering student at
tne college or Engineering, with
help from students in the engineer- ing shops.

Dislikes Cut System
Dear Editor:
I suppose that you've heard a
great deal on this subject, but you
are going to hear just one more
ccmplaint. I'm referring to the cut
sy.stem at UK.
Graduate students are allowed to
account for their own cuts. Undergraduates theoretically may cut at
the discretion of the professor.
Which means you may cut all you
want in one, have three cuts a semester in another, and just make
sure you come to the third. Get
the point? We need regularity in
this policy.
A majority of students feel that
they should be allowed one cut per
credit hour. This line is followed in
many other schools. I would like to
sua Rest, however, that a different
policy be put in practice.
When a student comes to college,
he is supposed to come for an education. It is not the University's business if he fools around and flunks
out. I think if more were to flunk
out, our scholastic standing would be
higher. If students were given the
responsibility of accounting for their
own cuts could go or not go at will.
A short time of this shows that you
cannot miss class and pass the
course. If the students are unwilling to meet this responsibility, then
let them be flunked. Those who
were mature enough to understand
the importance of class lectures
would benefit.
We must arrive at maturity some
time, and we should learn to accept it in college. I think this practice would certainly help up to
reach this goal.

the group wondering was why Dr.
Server and Mrs. Wilson, as they
ate their lunch, would keep bending over from their seats toward the
floor. It seemed quite odd that
each time they finished a sandwich they would go through this
routine. Finally, curiosity got the
best of all, and the situation was
investigated. Needless to say, everyone was quite surprised to find that
a hole in the floor of the coach was
providing a convenient garbage disposal for all banana peelings, sandwich paper and other articles to be
disposed of.
The group carried their lunch for
the train ride, as well as several
bags filled with a variety of fruit,
such as bananas, pineapples, plums,
oranges, and papayas. There was
enough fruit to last for days, and
