That's the word from Dr. Wilbur A. Heinz, associate
In the UK Health Service. He recently completed a
student height and weight study based on 30 years of
UK health records.
His study shows that today the average freshman
woman stands 65.1 Inches and weighs 125.2 pounds, as
compared to a median height of 63.6 Inches and weight
of 113 pounds In 1928.
While the girls In the freshman group showed a 22

weight. The average height of all women students In
1928 was 65.8 Inches. Fifty per cent of them weighed
125.9 pounds or over.
UK men, too, are growing taller, showing a 3.2 per
cent Increase In average height over 1928 while 1958's
average freshman weighed 22.3 pounds more.
Dr. Heinz cited the weight Increase as "even more

The report said the Increase In weight for both men
and women is not a true trend, because a good number
may be overweight. In the over-a- ll
