by the board of directors of the
equipment and personnel of ihe Uni

It marks the first time any studio
in the state has been approved as
a training center for radio personnel,
according to University officials.
The University radio arts department mas established early in 1946
with Elmer O. Sulzer, director of
radio activities and public relations,
as department head. Courses in radio
ranging from script writing to production and direction of radio activities m'ere first offered in the fall
quarter last year with the University's FM station WBKY serving as
a laboratory for prospective announcers and actors.

Beginning with the summer session
of 1948, the University will begin
operating on the semester system
according to a memorandum being
sent to deans and department heads
this week.
Plans for changing to the semester
system were made by a committee
representing the various colleges at
a meeting held Tuesday afternoon.
Dr. Leo M. Chamberlain, vice presi

of the committee, said the committee

Overlapping to Be Eliminated
The committee recommended that
in changing to the semester system
courses now be evaulated to eliminate
overlapping
between the depart

student to obtain a sound general
education as well as effective specia

evaluation of curricula, courses, sche

Course Offering Overexpanded
The committee urged that con

of courses that have been relatively
inactive for some time, and to the
combination of courses. The committee pointed out that one of the

Scattered Showers,

The Greeks had a word for it,
"stadium". The Romans would have
called it an "arena," but what do
you call it? As you know, they aren't
digging for Pompeii across the street
from Stoll field. That is the excavation for UK's 1950 model field

house.
The common conception of a field
house is a small building used for
storing athletic field equipment, but
k
structure will be 470
this
feet long. 270 feet wide, and 82 feet
high. From all reports the combinahall
tion sports
will be bigger than anything of its
kind in the South and better than
anything the Greeks or Romans
ever built.
The roof is the principal fe"-whicdistinguishes this structure
arena. One and
from an open-a- ir
a half acres of roof area make the
future field house, literally, a
"housed-in-fieldThis roof will be
supported by four 225 foot span
steel trusses, resting on eight large
columns, according to Samuel A.
Mory. Jr.. University professor oi
structural engineering.
Seating Capacity 12.000
Professor Mory. who drew up the
plans for the steel framework of
the building, said that a 1.000-sebalcony on the north side would
contribute to a total seating capacity for over 12,000 persons. A
radial seating arrangement will
make it unnecessary for spectators
to knock each other down in order
to see a basket at the far end of
the court. Removable box seats
can be rolled buck under permanent
teats to take the place of uncom
