Dr. William R. Willard. newly
appointed dean of the UK Medical School and vice president of
the Medical Center, will meet with
architects July 30 to discuss the
plans for the new medical buildings.

The appointment of Willard at
a meeting of the University's
Board of Trustees Executive Committee July 20 has met with approval of President-elePrank G.
Dickey and retiring president Herman L. Donovan.
Dr. Willard, dean of the Upstate
Medical Center of State University
of New York for the past Ave years,
will serve as dean of the College
of Medicine, and
of
the medical center.
Dr. Donovan said he "is delighted" at Dr. WiUard's acceptance,
and Dr. Dickey expressed "great
pleasure" at the decision.
At Syracuse, N. Y., Dr. Willard
said he accepted the position "because it offers an opportunity
which is given to relatively few
people, namely to develop a medical center from the very beginning.
This - and other personal reasons
finally proved irresistible to me."

versity hopes to enroll 75' students each year in the school
when it opens. At the end of the
first four years, plans call for
300 potential doctors to be attending the school. Dr. Donovan estimated that 40 or 50 students would be enrolled in the
Dental School each year and
about 100 in the Nursing School.
According to his estimates, about
900 students will be attending
the Center within about four
years after it opens.

Dr. Willard, a graduate of Yale
University, was among four men
considered prominently for the Job.
Although speculators held that he
would be chosen for the deanship.
Dr. Dickey had previously stated
to a Kernel reporter that there
was "nothing definite" about his
acceptance; that neither University officials nor Dr. Willard had
made any decision.
Dr. Willard, a native of Seattle,
Wash., was deputy State Health
Officer in Maryland from 1937-4a member of the Public Health
Service malaria control staff in
1944, and director of public health
and welfare for the Army in Korea
in 1945 and 1946.
In 1946 he returned to Yale and
from 1948-5- 1 was assistant dean of
the Graduate School in Medical
Education there. In 1951 he became dean at Syracuse, where he
was also director of the Central
New York Regional Hospital Council, Group Hospital Council, and
United Cerebral Palsy Foundation.
In addition to being a member
of the American Medical Association, Council for Social Agencies
of Syracuse, and Syracuse Handicapped Children Association, he is
a fellow of the American Public
Health Association.
In addition to his duties as dean
of the Medical School, Dr. Willard
will act as a
between
the Medical Center personnel and
the president of the University.
The Center, besides holding the
Medical School, will include a
School of Dentistry,' a teaching
hospital, and a School of Nursing.
Each of these divisions will have a
dean or director in charge. Dr.
Willard, as vice president of the
Center, will meet with them and
then report directly to the president, taking much of the responsibility of administering the Center from the president.

Stating that the present procedures in both Kentucky parties do
not provide for participation by all
members of the respective parties,
it asks that the primary system be
adopted.
The choosing of the original
slate is regarded as important because delegates to the national
conventions elect presidential
nominees and draft party platforms.
According to a spokesman of the
group, "We believe that the only
way to make parties democratic
and responsible, is to work by this
system."
The resolution calls on both
parties to take action on this, and
asks the next session of the general assembly to enact laws concerning it.
University participants in the
program were Dr. J. E. Reeves, Dr.
Gladys Kammerer and Prof. Ruth
McQuown of the political science
department; Dr. Sidney Kaplan,
sociology, and Dr. W. D. Valleau,
agronomy.
Dr. Reeves, Dr. Valleau and Dr.
Kaplan were members of the committee's board of directors.
A spokesman for the group said
the discussion was planned to cover changes in party rules and
state law which will enable all
party members to participate in
meetings to choose delegates for
national conventions.
The crowds which attended recent county meetings and contested delegations to district and state
conventions indicate that party
rules are inadequate, the spokesman continued.
This meeting was held under the
auspices of the Fayette Committee
for Citizenship and a Committee
of Citizen Sponsors.
"Political party rules so obviously need modernizing. Come to the
meeting and see if we can start
the process of getting some good
rules for both parties," the sponsors said.

The enrollment figures for UK

The University faces many problems in dealing with the increase,

buildings. Dr. Chamberlain said,
that UK will not have to double

several new buildings will have to

He added that students will be
