This possibility was advanced by the Committer of 15
in a report to the Board of Trustees, and represents the
maximum estimate of this committee after n study by its
members as to what kind of a university Kentucky will

be in 19C5.
However, the minimum estimate of student rnrollment
for 1963 was 10,392, which still represents a fain of some
3,500 students over present figure.
The Committee of 15 Is an advisory board created In

September, 1954 by the Board of Trustees with the Immediate objective of studying UK and its program nnd the
e
goal of finding out what kind of a university
Kentucky will be in 1965. its 100th anniversary.
Dr. Thomas E. Clark, head of the History Department,
serves as chairman of the committee, which also includes
both
Lto M. Chamberlain and Frank D.
Peterson.
The committee also forecast that by I960 I'K would
have a maximum of 10.400 students enrolled and a mini
mum of 8,100. Dr. Robert L. Mills, registrar, predicted

the figure would br somewhere around 9.000.
There are two major rrasoin for the predicted increase
according to the committer. Our is the sharp incrra.r in
the number of children who will reach rollegr ntr in the
lf.GO's and the othrr is that thr quality of public school
programs is definitely improving, thus increasing the proportion of high school graduates going on to collrgr.
Members of thr committer arr now studying thr problems which will arise with thr rxprctrd surgr in enrollment, but thrsr report will not br completed for somr
time.

The request, submitted by SGA
President Don Whitehouse at the
board's meeting Jan. 17, asked that
these wives be allowed the same
privilege as male students who are
able to buy tickets for their wives
'
enabling them to sit in the stu-- ,
dent section at a special rate.
The board, in denying the request, stated that since these married women represented such a
small minority on the campus, it
felt that if they were allowed to
purchase these tickets, a harmful
precedent would be established.
Thus, other minority groups would
feel they were entitled to the same
privilege and apply presure on the
Athletic Board.
The Board, however, emphasized
the matter
that it will

organize committees for further

Whitehouse also presented a
resolution to the board, in conjunction with the YMCA and
YWCA, asking them to "control,
or at least reduce" drinking at
football games.
President II. L. Donovan, acting:
upon the resolution, appointed a
committee to look into this problem, with Dr. Lyman V. Ginger,
Dean or the Colloge of Adult and
Extension Education, serving as
chairman.

The. number of pledges for this
