Veterans of World War II were

The new procedures, made necessary by passage of Public Law 266
which bans avocational and recreational courses and prohibits GI
training in schools which have not
been in existence for at least one
year, will affect veterans who have
had GI Bill training and who want
additional training, as well as
veterans who plan to apply for
original or supplemental certificaeligibility.

fraternity, has formed plans to install pencil sharpeners in each Uni
versity building with funds from
last year's Ugly Man Contest.
Tom Smith, in charge of the
special service committee, said that
plans were completed to furnish
each building with the sharpeners
as a "service to the campus." Approximately 75 sharpeners will be
distributed.
The organization is also making
plans to provide all residence halls,
sororities,
and fraternities with
printed social calendars. All recognized functions will be listed on the
calendar.
The service fraternity will hold its
second Ugly Man Contest in December to accumulate
funds to
sponsor service projects.

year's winner of the male popularity
contest. The contest was open to
all organizations.

The Student Government Association recommended at its meeting
Monday that the Kentucky Kernel
to give a
be printed

SGA suggested
affairs.
that a
paper be issued on Tuesday "and
Friday of each week.
The resolution was made after an
SGA committee investigation revealed that the Kernel is unable
to handle all the material submitted
to it for publication
under its
present organization because of a
lack of printing facilities.
Each single edition of the Kernel
is limited to eight pages because
of the way in which the presses are
set up. Advertising composes 50 to
50 percent of these eight pages.
Under the new plan local advertisements would be printed in the Tuesday edition and national advertisements on Friday.
Dr. Plummer Consulted
Dr. Plummer. head of the journalism department, said that the appeal will be given every consideration.
"We will have to study contracts
with national advertisers and see
what supplies and what labor will
be involved before we can know exactly whether the increasing of the
number of editions can be undertaken by the opening of the second
semester," he pointed out.
"Also, Mr. Grote. manager of the
plant, will have to be consulted concerning his production schedule for
the coming semester," Dr. Plummer
continued, "and all matters must
be considered by Mr. Peterson,
under whom publications operate."
Football Cards Banned
The sale of football cards on the
campus was opposed by SGA in another resolution which was passed
Monday night.
"Any person seen by any member
of the SGA in possession of the football card and acting in the role of
agent or bookie, will immediately be
reported to the Judiciary Committee of the SGA for punitive measures ranging from a fine to expulsion from the University." reads the
resolution.
Students and instructors are urged
by SGA to report any person seen
acting in the above capacity.
SGA Budget
SGA budget appropriations for
the current year were also approved
at the meeting. A new budgetary
expense was the secretary's salary
which became necessary when SGA
assumed the responsibility for improving parking facilities on campus.
The budget includes student di5O0:

guidance. $501: secretary's salary.

agency, the Foundation has as its
express purpose the promotion of
research projects. The research program specifies projects

and agricultural interests in the development of Kentucky's economic
resources.
Incorporated as a shoestring organization a little more than four
years ago. the Foundation has
grown into an $80,000 research
agency.
The foundation, though largely
unnoticed by Kentucky business and
industry, is rapidly acquiring a favorable reputation among
industrial concerns as a reliable research agency.
Thus far, all work associated with
planning, promotion and operation
of the research project has been
done by individuals holding other
e
assignments at the University. Dr. Leo M. Chamberlain,
Foundation President, expresses the
hope that future growth of the
Foundation may justify the hiring

of a
director.

however, stand to
benefit, indirectly at least, from several research contracts administered by the Foundation. An inexpensive, dual power plant, developed at
the UK Aeronautical Research Laboratory, is expected to prove highly
valuable to operators of small sawmills, of which Kentucky has many.
This project was financed jointly b
a $10,500 contribution from the U.S.
Department of Commerce and a
I4.0C0 grant from the university's
Engineering Experiment Station.
Progress for Kentucky's coal industry also is in the making through
work of the Foundation. Realizing
the importance to the industry of
highly trained mining engineers,
many Kentucky coal operators have
established
mining engineering
scholarships at UK. These scholarships are administered by the Kentucky Research Foundation.
