Graduation exercises for the
University's Centennial Class
will be held at 10 a.m. May 10
in Memorial Coliseum.
President John VV. Oswald will
preside over the commencement
ceremonies, and Col. James Alcorn will serve as chief marshal.
Procedures for the ceremony
will differ from previous years
in an effort to "get more faculty
into the ceremony" and start
new traditions.
Members of the faculty in
the commencement procession
will be marshaled by other faculty
members for the first time this
year and the graduating class
will be marshaled by members
of the junior class. Banners of
the various colleges will be carried by a junior who will sit at
the head of each college section
and lead the march to the stage
for the presentation of diplomas.
Another new addition to the
program will be a recessional to
close the ceremony.
Following the presentation of
the diplomas, which may be contained in special folders in honor
of the Centennial Year, Dr. Osof UK Student Government,

Deans View Influences

Students Affect University Policy
Three deans of major univer
sities in a press conference said
Tuesday that university students
play a vital part in the formation
of university policy. But they
often remain unaware of it.
The deans were among about

University noted that "Students
have been making policy and always have. The problem has been
that there is no feedback and students are not aware of the
influence they have had."
This idea was reenforced by
Dean E. W. Ziebarth who said
"Students should participate in
forming university policy and
their participation ought to be
valued." Dean Ziebarth is from
the University of Minnesota.

He added that there were stuthe University of California last

establish a great University.
"I wish to offer my sincere
gratitude to the student body for
its participation in the election
and my hearty congratulations to
the new leaders of the student
body."
A period of five days is open
in which the election results may
be contested.
The new president and vice
president will be inaugurated in
the Office of the President, John
W. Oswald, at 3:30 p.m. Friday.
