Historic Building GREENSBURG, Ky. (AP) -The Old Green County Courthouse here, built in 1799, is the oldest public building in Kentucky. It is used as a library. Average duration of a dream is from five to 20 minutes, with a total of about two hours for a whole night's sleep. Aldermen Cyril Marx and George Frank, both members of the Board of Public Works, met again last night with the Marshfield Water and Light Commission to discuss the proposed purchase of a parcel of land located west of the upper pond in Wildwood Park.

The proposal of Clarence Devine to sell 2.2 acres to the city has been hanging in the air since October of 1968. Devine is asking about $900 per acre, but he will also donate a 60-foot right of way for a new street in the area. The proposal is subject to the city's filling in and grading the 2-acre parcel within three years. Commissioners do not object to such a purchase, but they feel the aldermen should continue to try to purchase additional Devine property which would extend the entire tract all the way ta W. 17th street.

At a recent Board of Public Works meeting, Devine said he didn't want to sell this additional land at this time. Robert Cooper, president of the commission, and Marx both agreed that it would be better to purchase the entire tract at one time, instead of buying the 2.2 acres now and negotiate for the additional land later. It is expected that Devine will develop land in the area when the street is finally put in, and commissioners pointed out that there is a possibility if only 2.2 acres are purchased that two backyards of residences would face on the pond. "Who is liable in case of an accident?" Norman Dietrich, utility manager, asked. Marx said he was also concerned with Dietrich's question, adding that the Council could also place building restrictions on the land in question.

It was finally agreed the board and commission should meet jointly with Devine to discuss the purchase of the additional property. A tentative date of April 14 was set for that meeting. In other business last night, the commission approved the purchase of a crawler tractor from Galvin Truck and Equipment Abbotsford, at a cost of $13,900. The commission also approved a change in hospital insurance room rates for the utility's salaried employes. The $30 per day.

room-rate coverage was hiked to $35. The action will cost the utility an additional 98 cents per person per month. The utility has insurance with Wisconsin Physicians Service. The action was approved on a 3-1 vote with Edward Zappen opposed.

League schools, such as Harvard and Yale, the ratio is about one-to-one. But Dartmouth is spending $2 million to expand Thayer by the fall of 1970. Do the students who pay $620 a year for the food like it? "We have very little difficulty. Sometimes they get restless. But we try to change the menus as much as possible.

In general, I'd say we have their good will," Moore observes, adding: "Of course, they are so preoccupied with college problems the phasing out of ROTC within three years, the ghetto problem (we have only 90 black students), the draft and the war in Vietnam, and the desire to go coed that they have little time, even if they wanted to, to complain about the food." He pauses moment, then says thoughtfully, "Most of them are pretty well-behaved. No, they don't bang on the tables. Unless, of course, a student brings in a particularly sexy date. That is something else again." A DO YOU WANT TO SAVE EERY CEWT OF THE HEATING MONEY YOU SPEND? Feeding Hungry Horde at Dartmouth of police and police officers $25 a month, retroactive to April 1.

By GAYNOR MADDOX Newspaper Enterprise Assn. Today college and university students are increasingly involved in both academic and national issues. Violent campus disagreements are commonplace. But one interest they all share is their need to eat.

At all-male Dartmouth College, for example, about 2,300 students (7 per cent of the enrollment) eat three meals a day in Thayer Hall, the red brick dining building. Cost is $620 for a full college year. How good is the food at this Ivy League establishment? "I'd say pretty good," observes Paul Moore in charge of the college feeding department. "We are constantly striving to improve it but that is not easy these days." Moore, a veteran of the Coast Guard commissary department and a graduate of the University of New Hampshire, and his assistants who are veterans of the Navy's commissary, list some of the current problems. The rising cost of food is a major challenge.

The labor situation gets steadily worse. Very few men are coming into the business of feeding; those who do take little pride in their work. Wages are constantly going up. Furthermore, it is harder now to hire students for part-time work because of the increasing demands of their academic responsibilities. "These conditions force us to use instant foods, mixes, frozen and canned foods and pushbutton cooking devices, all of which reduce the need for human labor.

The personal touches have gone. But we try to serve as good and as wholesome meals as possible," Moore says. He and his staff point to several improvements that please the students.

"Breakfast used to end at 8:45. Now we serve until 9:45 to make it possible for many 8-o'clock-class men to have breakfast after those classes rather than miss it as so many used to do. "We have discontinued for the rest of the year our family-style dinner for freshmen. The purpose was to seat freshmen at tables reserved for them so that they would become acquainted. But they protested that they didn't like this form of regimentation.

So for this year, at least, no more family-style service," he explains. There are alternate lines at lunch, one for hot entrees, one for sandwich makings. This eases traffic. In each of the three dining halls there is a metal "cow" for milk and one for orange juice, with "unlimited seconds" or thirds or fourths, if desired. At present, Thayer Hall's ratio of dining hall chairs to students is one-to-three.
