UK coeds from the women's dormitories face a terrific traffic
problem when attemptnig to cross Euclid Avenue. When the
proposed Harrison Avenue overpass is constructed, the situation
will be eliminated.

149 Students Pledge
As Frat Rush Closes
Farm House
Juril Thurman Eli, White Plains:

Thirty seven per cent of UK's
freshman football, basketball and
baseball players are ineligible for
competition during the present
semester as a result of higher academic standards.
That figure, which includes 18 of
43 football players, two of eight
basketball players and two of
eight baseball players, is lower
than the 50 per cent figure for
the entire freshman class.
Eleven freshman football players
failed to make sufficient grades a
year ago, when the minimum
average required was slightly above
a grade of D.
If the athletes can make a C
average during the current semester, they will be off probation, and
eligible to play. For many students, rising above the minimum
grade level is expected to be just a
matter of applying themselves
more seriously. For others, observers expect a hard job and
for a few. it will be a
task.
Some feel the University's athletic teams will suffer from the
new ruling, but others think emphasis on scholastic ability in the
program will
produce a higher quality of ath-

would have been ineligible

present standards.
The 19, from a squad of 31,
would not have been in school beyond the sophomore year, the report shows. By comparison, 15
members of last year's top 29 grid-de- rs
also would have been ineligible
as would five of the top nine players on the current basketball squad.
An interesting sidelight to the
study is a comparison of the number of players from outside Kentucky on the 1951 and 1958 football teams. The Sugar Bowl team
among its
had 22
31 players, compared to only eight
of 31 on last year's team.

Guesses on this question ranged
from 1699 to 1901, with a few
answers given as 1759, the middle

The professor giving the test said
that he was "absolutely bewildered" at the results.
"Can tne American college student have such a poor conception

is the fact that since 1951 the University has accepted only a very
small number of
boys as freshmen who did not rank
in the upper ' half of their high
school classes or could not show a
higher aptitude on a series of special tests.
That step, while increasing academic standards, has made the
task of recruiting top athletic talent harder, the report said.
The new requirements are considered the toughest in the Southeastern Conference, but other
member schools are expected to
raise their standards also, in keeping with the
growing national
trend in education toward higher
academic levels.

Job Prospects Are Better,
Placement Director Says
By PALMER WELLS

rro.pfctive employers are more
.elective this year but many Job
opportunities still exist. Mrs.
Kemper, director of the
UK Placement Bureau, reports.
The peak year for employment
at the bureau was 1957 but employment declined sharply in 1953
due to the recession.
Now that the recession is over."
Mrs. Kemper said, "there are definitely more job opportunities
available for graduates."
Some 88 recruiters are scheduled
in be on campus in February with
about the same number to conduct
interviews in .March.
Interviews prove there is an
acute shortage of teachers. Mrs.
K:r.per said. "There is a need for
teachers, in almost every field and
demand for college teachers has
:r.c:ra.ed over last year.
Mrs. Kemper listed teaching,
saliswork and engineering as the
three areu where the demand is
greatest.
"Graduates don't have the wide
selection that they had in the
past.' Mrs. Kemper said.
"Today the employer is looking
for the more
student.
They take note of his personal appearance, how weil he works with
evidences of
others and what
leadership he shows.
Companies today will readily
who

has worked
his way through
school or maybe even kept a family going at the same time. Many
times a company will offer a good
job to a "C" student when it is
known that he has worked his
way through school.
"However." Mrs. Kemper said,
"many companies will place primary emphasis on grades."
The placement service of the
College of Engineering reports
that 54 companies have been on
campus this month to interview
engineers. Prof. E. E. Elsey. who
i. in charge of the service, said
about the same number is expect- Ka-tluri-

firms while in 1937 he had 10 or
16 from which to choose.
Prof.
Elsey continued.

Of the
graduates who have accepted
positions, their salaries average
$500. This Is expected to be the
average starting salary for June
graduates he said. Last year's average salary was $475
The College ot Commerce reports
a great demand for accountants
and salesmen. According to Dr.
L. S. Carter, head of the college's
placement service, there is a shortage of female graduates to fill office work positions.
Dr. Carter said that out of 44
January graduates, all but one
have been placed In jobs. Recommendations have been sent out
for him. Prospective employers
tend to" select students from the
upper 25 per cent of the class, he
added.
The College of Commerce offers
a unique service to its graduates in
its booklet. Bargains in Brains." It
contains information about each
student who would be of interest
to employers. The booklet . contains a picture of the student and
is distributed nationally to 1.300
firms.

* A Reward For Learning
With half the entire University
freshman class now on scholastic probation, one might be inclined to
view with despair the attitude toward
higher learning being manifested by
contemporary students.
Hut this striking example of mass
apathy toward scholarship has been
encouragingly met with an equally
striking example of enthusiasm toward learning by a small but energetic
campus organization known as Omi-croDelta Kappa, senior men's leadership fraternity.
ODK has established a system of
book awards that will reward 57 UK.
students a year (one in each department) for their scholastic enterprise
by helping them begin a personal,
professional library. ODK will purchase for these students a book of
their choice relating to their field of
interest after the recipients are selected by departmental committees. Recipients will be determined on the
basis of their scholastic standing,
their thirst for knowledge and potential for success in their chosen pron

fessions.
Many departments have means of
recognizing outstanding students in
one way or another, but we know of
no awards program that is as broad
as this one. It exand
tends into all parts of the University.

AnthrojHilogy and horticulture students will be on an equal par with
students in the larger departments-su- ch
as English, history or chemistry
when the awards are passed out.
This is but one of ODK's yearly
projects. Outfitting the Cosmopolitan
Club soccer team with uniforms and
equipment, providing magazines and
radios for the infirmary, giving annual small sports scholarships as well
as substantial scholarships for two
deserving freshmen arc other examples
of the organization's philanthropy.
ODK officers have said the success
or failure of the program depends
upon department heads, who must
show discretion in the final selection
of an award winner. We might add
that an even more primary responsir
bility rests upon the department
heads: that of recognizing the program early and participating wholeheartedly in it. All too often, worthwhile things die before they are even
born through lack of interest and
initiative of responsible people.

grades were released earlier this week,
we saw that the road to prestige was

These figures were expectable and
