Col. C. N. Mount Named New Head
Of UK Military Science Department
Col. Charles N. Mount, a veteran dier maintains his high morale and
of the Korean War, has taken over his willingness to continue the

struggle."
The chief problems of a field
commander In Korea are supply
evacuation, and of these two the
problem of evacuation is foremost.
In some places where the fighting
is fierce and the terrain rugged, it
was almost impossible to evacuate
the wounded for 20, or even 24
hours, the Colonel said. Increasing
use of helicopters in evacuation of
casualties is providing a partial
solution to the problem. Following the recapture of Seoul
last Autumn and the Seventh Division's subsequent landing on the
northeast coast of Korea, the batal-lio- n
headed by Col. Mount had
advanced to within 20 miles of the
Yalu River when the Chinese entered the war and forced the bitter
Allied withdrawal of last winter.
Graduate of West Point
Mount is a native of Georgia and
was graduated from the U. S. Military Academy in 1939. After his
West Point graduation, he spent
three years at the Army's Infantry
school. Ft. Benning. Ga., and while
there was promoted to captain.
He was then assigned to Third
Corps Headquarters In Atlanta, promoted to major in November, 1942,
and the following summer sent to

his duties as professor of military
science and tactics at the Univerie
sity. He succeeds Col. G. T.
as head of the Department
of Military Science and Tactics.
Col. Mount returned to the States

regiservice with the thirty-secon- d
ment of the Seventh Infantry DiAssigned to the UK post

several weeks ago. he took over his
new duties Monday.
As battalion commander, regimental executive officer, and finally, regimental commander. Col.
Mount participated in the Inchon
landing of last fall, the first Allied
recapture of Seoul, the drive to the
Yalu River, the withdrawal from
perimeter,
the Hungnan-Hashun- g
and the "killer offensives" of spring
and early summer.
Americans Have High Morale
In an interview Wednesday, Col.
Mount said, "The outstanding characteristic of the American combat
soldier is his superb morale in the
face of adverse conditions. Persons
who have never been in Korea can
have no conception of the difficulties encountered by our troops as a
result of the weather, terrain, and
fanaticism of the enemy. But

University Now Offers
Beginning Hebrew Class
Elementary Hebrew is being
fered at the University possibly for
the first time in this century, according to Dr. Jonah W. D. Skiles. head
of the Department of Ancient Languages. Dr. Skiles stated that the
University is one of the few, if any,
schools in the South
that offers a course in the Hebrew
language.
Sixteen members are in the class,
taught by Rabbi William Franklin
of the Temple Ohaba Zion,
Rabbi Franklin was graduated
from Yeshiva College in New York
City after an earlier education in
Vienna. He received his Rabbinate
from the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan
Theological Seminary in New York

Commenting on the new course
which was made possible by a gift
from Herschel Weil, Lexington farm
owner. Dr. Skiles said, "I hope this
class will be the beginning of a full
program of Hebrew study."
An early University catalog listed
Hebrew in the English Department
under Oriental Studies. It stated,,
for the special benefit of students of
Comparative Philology, a course in
elementary Sanskirt or elementary
Hebrew is offered."
At the turn of the century it was
believed that the English language
had Hebrew roots. This was the reason it was offered in the English
Department. Dr. Skiles said he seriously doubted if the course was actually r.iven.

The class, with a limit of ten students, will be offered again the
second semester.

Law College Is Planning
Sessions Of Moot Court
Plans are now being completed for
the coming sessions of moot court.
Acting Dean William L. Matthews,
of the College of Law said this week.
Competition is high among the
eight law clubs, which have been
paired in tournament style, to decide
which two of the eight can best present a mock trial to a jury. After
preliminary competition has been
narrowed to two clubs, they earn the
honor of presenting a "trial" before
the Court of Appeals in Frankfort
on Nov. 9.
The club which presents the best
case, in the opinion of the Court of
Appeals, will represent UK at the
regional meet in St. Louis in November, and could qualify for the national competition in New York City
in December.
Last year the UK team in the
moot court competition was judged
runner-u- p
in the regionals in St.
Louis and went to the semi-fina- ls
in
national competition in New York
City. "The boys hope they can do
as good or, better this year," Mr.
Matthews said.

The elimination series will begin
will be
Oct. 25, and the semi-finaheld Oct. 30. The series will be held
in the auditorium of the College of
Law, and will be judged by Lexington lawyers. Each law club is represented by two law students selected on the basis of last year's work.
The eight law clubs, which take
ls

their names from prominent

Clubs.

The national competition is sponsored among many U.S. law colleges
by the Bar of New York. The hypothetical case announced for national
competition, the U.S. vs. John Doe,
is "an indictment of a prosecuting
attorney for failure to respond to a
question by a Senate committee."
The legal grounds of this hypothetical case have current interest among
U.S. citizens, Mr. Matthews said.
The regionals in St. Louis are
sponsored Jointly by the Bar Association of St. Louis and the Washington University School of Law.

reporting of international affairs.
Known in World War n as the reporter who hit more beachheads
than any other correspondent, he
returned to the battlefronts when
war began in Korea.

singled out his story of the Marines
crossing the Han River as an outstanding example of his first hand
reporting.

For his coverage of the Korean
War. Whitehead received two other
awards. He was given the Sigma

American people and the profession of journalism." He was also
awarded Long Island University's
annual citation for oustanding wire
service reporting.
The dedication banquet will be
the climax of what Dr. Donovan, in
a recent statement, called, "a success story which is of particular interest to Kentuckians because the.
entire personnel and the locale
volved are centered on the campus
of the University.
"It is a story very likely without
parallel on any campus in this
country or elsewhere," he continued.
Classes Moved last Month
Classes were begun in the new
building last month. The Kernel
also moved its newsroom to the
new building at the same time, although the Kernel Press has been
in the building since June.
"After moving about for years, we
have finally settled in a permanent
home and we certainly are proud
of it," Dr. Plummer said.

The Student Government Association discussed the possibilities of a
new seating arrangement for students at football and basketball
games at a meeting in the SUB
Monday night.
A plan is being sought that will
eliminate the necessity for studCnts
to attend the games early in order
to get a seat. Two plans for reserved
seating were discussed:
1. Students pick up reserved seat
tickets a week before the game,
first come, first served.
2. Students sit according to classi
fication in a reserved section. Girls
would sit in the section that their
dates are in.
