1,571 Students At UK
Fall Below 6C Grade
Thirty recent of UK students

made an academic standing below
2.0 la t semester. Dean of Admissions and Registrar Charles F.
Elton announced yesterday.
Thl percentage is five less than
that f the lt58 fall semester.
Of .',1K' students enrolled in the
C'ollefes of Agriculture and Home

1.1571 had standing below the "V" level.
Students having incomplete I
and withdrawn iW grades are excluded from these figures.

g,

There were 850 incomplete grades
for the fall semester, 1959 nnd
735 for the fall semester. 1958.
In the five collep.es. there are
852 freshman. 321 sophomores, 248
juniors, and 150 seniors who made
standings below 2.0.
In the sophomore class, only 2G
percent, or 321 out of 1,220 made
standings below "C" level, compared to 31 percent in the fall
semester, 1958.
The percentage of sophomores
with standings below 2.0 decreased
more than that in any other class.
The decrease could well be attributed to the University policy

Dr. Penrod Granted

Status

Work-Chang- e
Dr. E. B. Penrod. head of the
Mechanical Engineering Department, was granted a chance-of-wor- k
status by the UK Board of
Trustees Wednesday. The new status will be effective Sept. 1.
No successor has been named to
head the department.
Dr. Penrod will continue his research and writing, but will not
be required to teach any classes.
A specialist in heat transfer and
fluid mechanics, Dr. Penrod has
been head of the Department of
Mechanical Engineering since 1946.
Before coming to UK he served
as head of the physics departments
at Mt. Union and Hillsdale Colleges, as physics instructor at Purdue University, and as instructor

mechanics at Illinois Institute of Technology.
Dr. Penrod said he planned to
continue his research and writing
on the Peltier refrigerator and the
thermo-electri- c
generator.
He also expects to continue an
area of geophysical research involving the storage of heat in the
of engineering

earth.

Dr. Penrod spoke on the Peltier
refrigerator before the 10th International Congress of Refrigerating

Engineers in Copenhagen, Denmark last August.
He delivered a paper on the
same subject at a meeting of the
American Society of Mechanical
Engineers at Atlantic City, N. J.
in November.

last semester unless they had a
grade average of "C" or above, Dr.
Elton said.
Three questions might arise from
the figures about students with
below 2.0 standings. Is the University receiving better students?
Are the students working harder?
Is the faculty grading easier?
The University is receiving bet-

ter students, the students are
working harder, and the faculty's
grading is the same, said Dr. Elton.
An overall decrease in the percent of full time students making
below a 2.0 standing shows this,
he added.
Official figures of the number
of students on probation have not
yet been released by the registrar.
Dr. Elton said these figures cannot be released now because the
final number of students with incomplete grades cannot be calculated yet.

Deferred Rush Plan
Is Proposed By IFC
proposal to adopt a deferred rush system was made at an
Intet fraternity Council meeting Tuesday night.
The proposal will be discussed at number of smokers and parties
A

a special IFC meeting March 22,
after fraternities have had an op- portunity to study the proposal
and make a decision regarding it.
If the system is adopted, fresh- men cannot be pledged until they
made a 2.0 standing. They
would siill be able to participate
rush, however. At the present
a freshman may be pledged
before he has made his standing.
The proposal vas introduced by
Dick Wallace, chairman of the
IFC Rush Committee.
Wallace said deferred rush would
benefit all fraternities because
freshmen pledges who failed to
make a 2.0 standing would not
pull the fraternities' standings
He cited the example of one
fraternity which pledged 15 fresh- -

yr

.',

jT

men, all of whom failed to make
grades. Another fraternity
had two pledges out of 26 make
their grades, he said.
Wallace said fraternities would
not suffer any great financial loss
from not pledging first semester
freshmen. Any deficit could be
made up by concentrating on
leaching sophomores, uppeiclass- and transfer students who
had not Joined a fraternity when
they were freshmen.
He pointed out that UK has a
ruling which enables fraternities
to initiate new men after they
have been pledged for eight weeks,
Dean of Men Leslie L. Martin
would give special permission for
these men to move Into the frater- nity houses, thus providing addl- tional income to the fraternities,
Wallace said.
One point of the deferred
system stressed by Wallace was
the preference plan.
In this phtn. freshnvn arc
over a longer Jhti d than
the week, now allotted. The same

would be given, but they would be
spread out more,
Rush would be extended until
midsemester grades were published,
at which time the rushee would
sign a preference card. If the stu-hadent makes a 2.0 standing that
semester, he pledges the frater-i- n

erence card.

Eisenhower Gifts Totaling $20,088

Says Nixon Accepted By UK Trustees
Is His Choice

WASHINGTON. March 16 AP
President Eisenhower nailed it
down today: "Yes, very definitely"
Vice President Richard M. Nixon
is his- man for the presidency.
Eisenhower jnid so at a news
conference. Afterward, he got Nixon on the telephone in New York
and told him what he had said.
This didn't mean Eisenhower was
ta'ting sides within his own party,
since Nixon has the UepuMican
presidential nomination all but
Irxked up. Vet it was the first time
the President had openly endorsed
Nixon.
Previously he always had accompanied an expression of his
hieh regard for the vice president
with word that there were a number of good Republicans of presidential caliber.
If Nixon wants him to, Eisenhower said, he will do what he can
In the campaign. But he said he
thinks there are limits, because no
candidate wants it to appear that
someone else "put him in his position of prominence."

* A Dubious Delay
After nearly two semesters of
virtual dormancy, Student Congress
seems prepared to arouse from its
bed of inactivity and exercise its
duties to the UK student lxnly again.
A new constitution, written by a
SC committee composed of diligent
workers, sliould provide the impetus
for the awakening interest in student government at UK if it is approved by the assembly within the
next week or so.
But the constitution, finished
nearly a month ago by the committee,
has already undergone the rigors of
administrative stronghold. It has been

funneled through an unnecessary
chain of command.
We refer to the dean of men's action of keeping the constitution in
his possession for three weeks to
edit and make the document clearer.
Although we recognize that careless
haste can destroy the effectiveness
of a new idea or proposal, the needless detaining of SC's only hope for
improvement was indefensible.
We recognize, too, the dean's position as adviser to the assembly and
would not want that encroached
upon. But we do not envision his
being raised to the level of deification,
able to stifle the organization from
meeting to discuss a new constitution.
I

The dean's action has the shackling overtone of strong-armeadministrative command, a major criticism
of the congress since it has lieen in
operation. We do not deny that the
powers of students should be limited.
Far from it. But student government
should not be under complete dictation of the administration, and it
should be able to have a voice in
University affairs in some measure,
even if it is suggestive.
The constitution rightfully should
have been discussed by the congress
upon completion without being held
up in an administrative office. The
confidence of SC has been deteriorating all year and could be enhanced extensively with a challenging and radical constitution facing it.
Why, then, was the constitution
detained? We would-no- t
attempt to
insinuate there was an ulterior motive for the delay. But .we do not
think that it should have been studied
for three weeks while the congress
was waiting to meet and to discuss it.
We still have faith that SC will
revive itself, regain prestige and leadership, and establish itself firmly in
the University community.
But only if the administration will
d

allow it.

A Biological Boom
By ALTON BLAKESLEE

Associated Press Science Writer

NEW YORK-Scient- ists
in the sixties
are brewing up an astounding revolution
in biology and human life.
It will bring a "vaccine" of knowledge to prevent heart attacks, the means
of curing or controlling cancers, healing
more sick minds, perhaps even give you
a pill to jazz up your memory.
It promises to create life in the test-tuband open the way to breeding
manmade men, brighter, healthier,
stronger than today's man.
It could let you borrow healthy
kidneys, lungs, or glands when your own
sicken or fail. Ultimately it could lead to
regenerating a lost leg or hand.
It can extend healthy life to an
average span of 100 to 125 years-a- nd
perhaps revive many persons who keep
too early a rendezvous with death.
Science fiction? By no means.
Research toward all these goals is
under way, quietly, diligently, in laboratories around he world.
The biological sciences the science
of life appear about to explode with
stunning advances in man's knowledge
and control over human life.
In the past, physics leaped ahead
with atomic energy, transistors, electronics. Chemistry blossomed with antibiotics, dyes, plastics, other achievements.
It is now simply biology's "turn" to
spring forward.
For most great breakthroughs in science come from the slow buildup of
basic knowledge, from hundreds of scientists, until giant steps become possible.

about to burst.
Scientists
in the United- - States,
Russia, Europe, England, Japan, all
share this expectation of stirring events
coming in biology.
In five to 10 years, some medical
scientists think, we should know how to
prevent premature heart attacks or core,

Food, tensions, lack of exercise are
now three prime suspects as causes of
heart attacks. Research will pin down
their relative influences, or uncover unsuspected influences, to pioduce the

advice to keep this clock of life beating, or protect it with medicines.
Conquest of cancer is- expected to
come more slowly, barring lucky breaks.
For cancer deeply involves the basic
mysteries of growth and the intricate
machinery of the living cell.
Literally thousands of chemicals are
being examined each year in the hunt
for cancer killers. Minor victories are
being won with drugs developed here,
in England, Japan, Russia, elsewhere.
Suspicion points strongly now at
viruses as cause of at least some forms
of cancer. American and Soviet scienparticles in
tists are finding virus-lik- e

Special drugs or vaccines might protest humans from cancers initiated by

Another army of researchers, also
international in membership, is delving
into the human mind and has already

mental illness.

There are clues that much mental
illness may be due to chemical upsets
or errors within the body. Find the
chemical cause, and it presumably can
be chemically corrected.
Some scientists are exploring for
understanding of the fundamental functions of the brain. How, they ask, does
memory work? Does memory depend
upon a tiny electric charge attaching
to some brain cell, or a chemical change
in the cell, or perhaps lx)th? Could a
drug be found to sharpen memory?
