on Program

Address

Crutcher. superintendent
of buildings and grounds, announced Saturday that the University, In
cooperating with the CWA, has apM. J.

proved eleven projects for improvement on the campus. So far the
projects have given employment to
approximately 90 students.
At the present time the department Is at work cutting down the
roadway which runs from the south
end of the administration building
east to the library, and Is making
it into a sidewalk. Twenty-on- e
buildings are being painted and the
grounds around the training school
are being graded with the intention
of preparing a football field and
play ground. A stone wall 250 feet
long is being constructed at the upper edge of the Botanical garden.
Two new roadways are to be condrive,
structed. One, a
will extend from the east end of the
Dairy building to the east end of
the Agricultural Engineering building. This drive will provide a more
adequate parking space and relieve the congestion
that usually
results during conventions.
The
will extend from McVey
other road
hall to Graham avenue. The purpose of this road is to do away with
project which now
the dead-en- d
exists at that point. Another im- provement now in progress Is the
widening of Limestone street at the
west side of the campus.
Other projects that have been approved are the grading of the lawn
In front .of Memorial hall, the repairing of the road around Maxwell
Place, and of all other roads on the
campus.
All of the Improvements that are
being made are part of a statewide project with the exception of
the widening of Limestone street,

STATE CONCLAVE

A new eligibility rule governing all

students and practically eliminating
consideration of standings was passed by the University Senate late
yesterday afternoon, and will go Into
effect next semester.
The new rule provides that a student must pass at least three-fourtof the normal load required by
his college thee preceding year or, if
a new student, must pass three-fourtof the normal load carried
the preceding semester.
For eligibility for
activities and for initiation into fraternities, the student must have
passed in at least three-fourtof
the normal load In the preceding
semester and must be carrying 12
credit hours of work.
The new rule Is more in conformity with those of other schools of
the Southeastern conference, of
which the University is a member.
The rule was passed to humanize
the student and to treat him as an
individual with consideration for his

The College of Education, under
authority and funds provided by the
Tennessee Valley authority, has employed during the past month 31
persons for the purpose of collecting
basic data on educational work, according to Dr. Leo M. Chamberlain,
director of the work.
The Tennessee Valley authority
last month granted a certain amount
of money to come from the Civil
Works administration fund for four
projects to collect basic data on education, government, economics, and
sociology. To supervise this work, a

committee of 13 members was appointed, four of which are from
Kentucky. From this fund, a part
was made available to Kentucky,
and the present educational project
Is being carried on with this allot-

ment.
The four Kentucky members of
the TV A board are: Dr. Leo Chamberlain, of the College of Education;
Prof. J. W. Martin, Bureau of Busi-

ness Research, Commerce college;
Dr. John Manning; and James W.

unOne hundred and forty-on- e
employed teachers, together with
school administrators and welfare
workers, last Friday closed a four-da- y
conference held at the University to discuss problems of unemployment and education, and the
question of finding Jobs for Jobless
teachers. All sessions were held In
the auditorium of the Training
school. Every teacher registered for
the conference received compensa
tion from federal funds.
Dean W. S. Taylor, College of
Education, who sponsored the meet,
stated today that he believed two
highly gratifying results had come
first, that
from the discussions:
school administrators and teachers
had a clearer conception of the entire program of adult education;
and second, that the entire group
had a better Idea of what the government Is trying to do, not only
to relieve unemployment, but to extend the educational horizon of the
people. Other leaders of the conference also expressed gratification
at the Interest shown in all phases
of discussions.
Some distinct problem of an ed

s,
first time to Lexington
the Guignol theater opened with
"Oedipus Rex." last night.
The production as a whole is laudable, but Is apt to prove a distinct
upset to one expecting the usual run
cf theatrical performances. The play
is somewhat beyond the reach of
Guignol performers, and should be
considered in the light of an experiment.
Honors for the play go to Howard
Smathers. in the role of Oedipus.
His role is certainly the most ditli-cu- lt
and is handled wUh insight and
feeling. The part is one of the hardest emotional portrayals in the theater, considered second only to Hamlet, and Mr. Smathers should leoeive
credit for giving his best to the role.

an excellent performance as the

"Torchlight Dance of the Brides of
from Rubinstein's opera,

and amateurish work in the woodwinds. The orchestra concluded its
program with "Hungarian Dance

more finished performance
could
not have been played by other than
symphony orchesa

played this dance with true flair
and abandon, carefully interpreting
the various singular rhythms.

The new rule, however, does not
change the present requirement of
a one standing for a degree.
A new course, "Recovery Legislation and Its Problems," will be given
in summer session with various
members of the faculty treating the
legislation and problems In their
own field.
Excerpts from the rule are:
"A regular student who falls to
pass in
of the normal
load required by his college In his
preceding year (preceding semester
for a new student) may be placed
on probation by the committee on
scholarship and attendance. If, during the semester of probation, he
again fails to pass in at least
of the normal load, he may
be dropped from the University for
at least one semester. The committee, on scholarship and attendance
has power to reinstate students who
have been dropped for poor scholarship and to place a student on probation at any time.
"A part-tim- e
student, carrying less
than
of the normal
may be placed on probation by
load,
the committee on scholarship and
attendance if he fails to pass in half
of tits scheduled load.
"For eligibility for
activities and initiation into fraternities, the student must have
passed in at least three-fourtof
the normal load in the preceding
semester and must be carrying 12
credit hours."

SAID TO BE 'VERY GOOD'

A statistical story of a typical
college freshman class and of its
members along the four-yeroute
to graduation is told by Paul P.
Boyd, dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences, in the December
of "School and Society."
The study is based on the 319
studtuts who enrolled in the College cf Arts and Sciences at the
University in 1929. Of this number,
18 failed to complete the iirst .semester. 23 left at the end of the
first ;eniester. and 72 dropped out
at the end of the freshman year.
During the sophomore ytar, 14 leit
afier the, first semester, and 43 at
the end. Of this group that dropped out before the junior year. 41
trunslerred to other institutions,
one v, js expelled, 8 left to teach, 3
married, and 30 were dropped from
the college for poor scholarship.
Besides the 70 students being
graduated in June, U'Si, who have
been at the University
for four
consecutive years, 72 outers were
graduated at the same time. Three
;
of these enterd ill February,
15 entered as sophomores
in 1930;
23 us juniors in 1931; 10 as seniors
in 19J2, und 21 had attended the
University previous to September,
1929.
Approximately 64 per Cent of
the June. 19:)3. class took all their
work at the University, while the
other 3tf per cent transferred during the course front other colleges.
Eleven students transferred from
junior colleges and 40 from four-ecolleges.
Dean Boyd recommends
as an
antidote for this condition an improvement of college entrance technique, a perfection of testing programs for the Individual
student,
an improvement In our ability to

which he is best fitted, .an indiviof Instruction, and
