Seniors Must File

For Graduation
All seniors who expect to complete

their requirements for graduation at
the close of the summer term and
who have not at a previous time
made application for degrees, are
requested to do so today or tomor- row, according to Lee Sprowles, reg- istrar. This applies also to graduate
students who expect to complete
their requirements for graduate de- grees. All apacations should be filed
in Room 16 of the Administration
Building.
As the commencement
lists are
made from these cards, it is very im- -

portant to file an application at
this time, he said,
Candidates for the bachelor's de- grce will be charged a graduation

THE
student described the terrain of the
Western Korea peninsula, where the
brunt of the attack is centered, as
relatively flat. It would, he said, be
difficult to defend against an attacking armored force. The eastern
side of the peninsula is hilly and
would be easier to defend, he added.
The rainy season, while not always aevere, is due in July and
August and may be an important
factor working against the heavier
armored Communist forces if the
South Koreans can hold out that
long, he believes.

Chung said. The only improved
highways in the country are those
connecting the major cities, of
which Seoul, with a population of
about a million, is the largest, he
added.
South Korea, Chung continued, is
primarily an agricultural region,
with most of the country's industry,
minerals, and sources of electrical
power in the North.

of the hood to be presented to the
candidate. The fee for candidates
for the doctorate is $25. Graduation

fourth day preceding the commencement which will be August 7.

An additional list of appointments, resignations, and other staff

Many Northern farmers and business men have fled south since the
end of World War II, Chung said.
Since the tightening up the border

added.
AS DO ALL young Koreans,
Chung has had four years of high

the R.O.T.C. programs of U.S. high
schools, his training was under the

'tory since February as a staff member of the Department of the Army.
Before the arrival of Dr. Clark at
the University of Vienna, American
history had never been taught in
that university. Dr. Clark organized
the first general American history
class and held the first seminar concerning the American frontier.
At the University of Vienna, Dr.
Clark said, the faculty is a law unto
itself. Individual professors have
much more freedom of decision than
do professors in the United States.
However, there are fewer persons of
professorial
standing in Vienna.
Young men are not entering the
teaching profession because of extremely low salaries. A top professor will receive only about $120 per
month.

Same Old Problems Face
Dean ?s Staff at Registration

"Seniors failing to make out plan
sheets, the putting off of proficiency
exams, and veterans failing to apply
for military credit points were the
most frequently occuring problems
during registration," said Miss Idie
Lee Turner, secretary to Dr. M. M.
White, dean of the College of Aits
and Sciences.
"Besides this, we were faced with
the same old familiar problems,"
she added. "Students fail to look at
1 their requirement cards that are
handed out with the schedule cards.
If they would study them they
could see for themselves what they
are lacking and what courses they
have completed.
"Then too, some students still do
not know how to make out their
schedule cards and turn them in
to us in such a shape that it
would take a handwriting expert
to drciper them. As a result, mistakes are inadvertently made."

added, and most of them are of good
quality. Few of the students have
outside interests other than in the
activities of their political parties.
Vienna students are totally unlike I K students in most ways, he
said, but they are alike in being
dissatisfied with most of their professors. Vienna students have a
method of informing their professor as to their approval of his lectures. If the students agree with
their professor, they rap noisily
upon the desks with
knuckles, and if they disagree,
they scratch their fingernails
across the desks.
