Within the last year, the University has probably expanded its facilities more than it has in any other corresponding length of time in the school's history. The purchase of Coldstream and Spindletop horse farms, with Carnahan House and Spindletop Mansion, greatly increased the land mass of the University. In addition, Holmes Hall was put into use for the first time last fall, and this spring, bids were accepted on the construction of a new men's dorm. The building of the new dorm behind Donovan Hall made necessary the moving of the football prac- tice field farther out onto the experiment farm, and plans also call for the construction of an adjacent baseball field. Added parking facilities are also in the process of being constructed behind Memorial Coliseum, with the razing of present residences now. In the meantime, the Medical Center is also moving forward with construction of the Medical Science building well along toward completion and the heating plant almost ready. Contracts have been let for three additional buildings — the hospital, out patienfs clinic and ambulent ward. Construction will begin on these new sites in the near future. If facilities of a University are an indication of greatness, then saying UK is on the threshhold is certainly no exaggeration.

The Student Union Building, is the center of campus student activity. Here, dozens of meetings take place weekly in the comfort- ably-furnished meeting rooms, while in other parts of the building people are getting hair- cuts, eating in the Grill or cafeteria, shooting pool, reading or perhaps even sleeping in the plush lounge chairs scattered about. The SUB ballroom is utilized with almost tiresome frequency as the site of all-campus dances. It is probably the best dance hall in the city.
