Asian Flu invaded UK twice in the l957-58 school year, resulting in more than three hundred and fifty students being admitted to the lnfirmary in a three month period with the flu. Many Others were infected, but the infirmary ran out of space and aillng students were sent home to convalesce. Finally in December the flu left, to return for only a short span the sec- ond semester. With its aches and fever the flu was all but unbearable, but the competent and sympathetic staff on the opposne page offset the pain and the terrible food and soon had you on your way back to classes,

Last summer Lexington decided to keep fast time the year around, At the same time the Kentucky Farm Bureau noticed that some of the University clocks were on fast time and a delegahon of that agency protested to the Attorney General of the state. Accordingly the Attorney General called to Dr. Dickey's attention KRS 2.160 and the case of Morrow v. City of Loutsvitte, Ky,, 249 S, W. 2d 721. The University clocks were set on Central Standard Time, which must have pleased the Kentucky Farm Bureau to no end, but which plagued the campus with mis- understanding and contusion all year, University Time? University time or Lexington time? Fast time or slow time? Standard time or daylight time? These were questions that were asked, answered, and mlsunderstood many times during the 1958- '59 school year at UK. Classes were missed and dates were an hour late, or early, depending on the point of view, and coeds often innocentty told the houemother: I thought it was 12:30 slow time! As the appointed time of 5:00 pm. came and passed on bid day fraternity men waited in vain until six olclock came with the rushees who had understood that they were to be there at five slow time. Multiply these instances by an infinite number of dates, meetings, and classes, and you will approach the confusion caused by the University conductlng its business on Central Standard Time whiie Lexington did the same on Daylight Saving Time.
