By CAROLYN WILLIAMS
Kernel Staff Writer
Traveling 170 miles a day to
classes is "old hat" to three University students.
They are among the rising
number of students across the
country who have begun .commuting in order to complete academic work on an undergraduate
or graduate level.
The UK trio, all women, are
from Northern Kentucky and have
previously attended the Northern
Community College in Covington
(85 miles from Lexington).
"Early in this attempt I had
to make a decision concerning

priorities," says Mrs. Alice

Man-chike-

academic standing, none seem to
be having any serious difficulties
maintaining above three-poiaverages.
Mrs. Manchikes has maintained a 3.58 while Mrs. Berg has
a 3.4. Both are members of Kappa
Delta Pi, education honorary.
"Commuting is hindering my
grades," says Miss Buckner who
has an accumulative of 3.7. "All
the time I spend travelingl could
be studying. Also, after riding in
a car for two and
hours,
by the time I get to Lexington
what I really want is a rest, not
a lecture or exam."
In lieu of the complaints, why
don't they attend the University
of Cincinnati or Villa Madonna
College at Covington?
"I would have lost too many
hours due to different programs,"
says Mrs. Berg, the mother of a
graduating high school senior.
"Villa and UC are quite expensive, too."
Mrs. Manchikes added that
there is less confusion by attending UK than in transferring semester hours to the quarter system which UC maintains.
"Commuting is not the problem it once was," Mrs. Manchikes said. "I make the trip in
about an hour and 15 minutes.
I've had no real problem with

come first. This is the only way
it can be with the

."

Mrs. Manchikes, the mother
of three children, one a freshman
at the Northern Community College, is joined by two other women, Mrs. Lorine Berg and Macye
Buckner.
Also a graduating senior from
S. Ft. Mitchell, Mrs. Berg has
been doing her student teaching
in the fourth grade at Linlee
School. In addition, she is on
campus two days a week for a
class.
"Commuting requires good
physical stamina; fortitude and
perse verence," said Mrs. Berg,
who has been commuting for the
past three semesters.
Macye Buckner, junior English major from Alexandria, is a
newcomer to commuting, this
being her first semester. She is
carrying five subjects (13 hours).
"My biggest problem," she
says, "is doing work out of the
classroom that must be done on
the campus rather than in my
home. Makeup tests are especially difficult to schedule."

Mrs. Berg said once she had
a problem with her car, the distributor got wet and the car

wouldn't start.
"I solved the problem by drying it out with a hair dryer and
then covering it with a plastic
rain hat," she said.
A difficulty which all express

"I do not have time to use
the library while on campus because of classes," says Mrs. Berg.
"When you carry 18 hours, one
class follows another with no
break."
