University President Dr. H. L.
Donovan said that he had studied
the qualifications of the best men in
the nation in view of filling the posi-
tion. finally deciding upon DI'.
Welch.

IN HIS STATEMENT of recom-
mendation to the Board of Trustees.
Dr Donovan said in part:

"Cognizant of the fact that Dr.
Cooper was approaching his seven-
tieth birthday. I began to observe
agriculture leaders in action more
than two years ago With the view of
having in mind a man of great lead-
ership to recommend to the Board
of Trustees for this position

' . . . In my search I have con-
sulted the presidents and deans and
some staff members from many of
the leading land—grant colleges and
niiiyei'sities of the United States . .

“I have talked with farmers in all
parts of the state and secured their
advice . . . “

"Extensive investigation has led
me to the conclusion that the ablcst
man available for this position is Dr.
Frank J. Welch . . . "

BORN IN WlNPlELD. Tex. Aug.

Dr. Frank Welch Replaces
Cooper As Ag College Dean

Frank J. Welch

ter's from the University of Colorado
in 1932. and the doctor of philosophy
from the University of Wisconsin in
1943.

Dr. Welch has been a high school
pi'inCipal and for a year was as-
sociated with the Mississippi State
Department of Education. He was
head of the Department of Econom—
ics and Sociology at Mississippi State
College from 1937 to 1944. In 1915
he was named Dean of the School of
Agriculture and in 1947 Dean and

Belt. He is currently serving as
chairman of a committee of repre-
sentatives from land-grant colleges
and the Farm Credit Administration.
which is preparing a procedure on
pilot farm studies relating to farm
credit requirements for needed ad—
justments.

A MEMBER OF THE Presbyterian
Church. a Rotarian. and a member
of the American Farm Economics
Association. Dean Welch is married

Dr. Donovan. elaborating on his
belief that Dr. Welch is the best
qualified man available. said: "He
possesses the best well-rounded ed—
ucation of any man we had under
consideration. He is youthful and
ambitious to succeed. He has al-
ready become a national figure in
agriculture and will not have to fight
his way up. He has had a rich ex-
perience in administering a great
agricultural colege and experiment
station and it will not be necessary
for him to take two. three or four
years to attain this experience. He
already possesses this competency.

“OTHER THINGS BEING equal. I '
would have recommended to you a
Kentuckian. Notwithstanding the
fact that we have a number of
competent men in agriculture in
this state. I am quite convinced that
we do not have anyone who can do
this job as well from the day he be-
gins his work as Dean Welch can do
it . . . I have asked for Divine guid-
ance in my effort to discover the'
ablest man available for this posi-‘
tion. I am completely satisfied in my
own mind that I have found the
man the University and the state
need to guide our agricultural pro-
gram at this time."

Dr. A. D Kirwan. dean of students,
replied with a charge of "journalist-

In a story headlined "Jazz is bar-

Educators." "Downbeat" said:

“Jazz may be accepted at Carnegie

campus. A concert of modern music
planned by members of Phi Mu Al-
pha music honorary was cancelled by
the university because of a news-
paper article which pointed out that
some of the student musicians were
also playing jazz in various bars and
lounges around town.

“The concert. scheduled for the
evenings of March 6 and 7. had been
in rehearsal for weeks. A first per-
formance of Roy Harris‘ ‘Dance
Band Suite‘ was on the program,
also some original pieces by univer-
sity students and a Dixieland-
through-bop musical survey. Several
members: of the music faculty were
assisting."

The university‘s policy statement
was also published in part in the
article.

When consulted by telephone.
Dean Kirwan called the “Downbeat"
story. "an example of journalistic
license."

Article Claimed
To Be Distortion
Of True Facts

"The University policy statement
does not ban jazz on the campus.“
said Dean Kirwan. “That is the most
distorted thing I know of. The ad-
ministration did not ban the con-
cert; it was never banned by any-
body. It was called off by mutual
consent of Phi Mu Alpha and the
Music Department.

“I wrote the policy statement. but
it was merely what the president of
Phi Mu Alpha and the head of the
Music Department decided.

“The story in ‘Downbeat' was dis-
torted. and a good example of jour-
nalistic license.“

Sonic 800.000 students are expect-
ed to take the test authorized by
Pl‘elltifi‘ll? Truman's executive order
of March 31 instructing Draft
Boards to pass over students whose
grades' are good or who can pass a
spec‘iiil aptitude test.

The tests WlIl be given at various
testing centers throughout the coun-
try this spring and summer. 20 of
which will be located in Kentucky
One of these 20 Will be at UK.

Those now in college may take
the test beginning May ‘26. but boys
who haven't started college will not
be given the examination until aft-
er they become freshmen.

ONE MISTAKE BEING made by
draft registrants. however. according
to offiCials at the Selective Service
headquarters in Washington. is that
they are waiting until they get in<
duction orders before applying for
deferment It's too late than Any-
one desiring a deferment who thinks
he rates- one should request it im-
inediately.

Maj Gen. Lewis B. Hershey. draft
director. said there were some 1000..
000 nonveterans in college now. but
he could not estimate how many
Will be deferred under the new rul-
ing. About 570.000 who came before
the Draft Boards were deferred for,
the present scholastic year.

Hershey said the scholastic stand-
ing necessary to permit exemption.
and the necessary grade in the
forthcoming aptitude test. will be
determined later. However. some
congressmen expect the outcome to
be something like this:

DEFERMENT 0F MOST freshv
men who enter college next fall.‘
sophomores who were in the upper
half of their freshman class schol-i
astically. juniors who were in the}
upper two thirds of their sophomoret
class. and seniors who were in the.
upper three fourths as juniors. .

There is now no test by Selective
Service of a student's aptitude for?
college work. .

The examinations will be held first ;

College Picture Brightens
With New Deferment Plan

l’resident Truman proiidcd college boys with a far greater
incurtivc to (rank the books than threatening words from \loin
.‘nd l’op ever could when he issued his order Saturday making
grades the basis of many draft delermcnts.

The order authorf/es draft boards to exempt students whose
grades are flood or \\ ho pass a special aptitude test to be given at
college locations throughout the nation. The tests will be given
llt'rt‘ \lay 26'. Join lb and lune 30.

Boys who art now in college may take the test on any of these
dates. but those \\ ho have not enrolled yet must wait until they
are freshmen. llank in class is also a determining factor in exemp-
tion. Those who rank within a certain percentage. as yet not
decided upon. may not be required to take the test.

Details about the test. which is supposed to measure capability
for leaniing Ttllllt r than present knowledge. will be announced
later. llowcvcr. it is mpected to result in deferment of most
freshmen who (ltlt‘l‘ (ollege next fall. sophomores who were in
the upper half of their freshman class. juniors who were in the
upper two-thirds as sophomores. and seniors who were in the up-
per three—fourths of their junior class.

Another foresighted provision of the bill is the deferment. with
out examination of medical. dental. graduate. and other advanced
students doing satisfactory work toward their degrees.

It seems as though the crisis in college enrollment is averted.
for a while at lt ast. lt's sound reasoning. we think. to allow seri-
ous students. the kind who can be of most value to their country
in future years. to complete their college work.

It looks like a busy spring. fellows. Renewed interest in such
heretofore plebian things as assignments. term papers. tests. and
such stuff is predicted for the next couple of months. After all.
that “upper t\\o»thirtl.s" \\ ill hold only so many!

Ag Deans—Old And New

The appointment of Dr. Frank J. \Vclch as Dean of the Col-
lege of Agriculture and director of the Experiment Station and
Agricultural l:\lt‘ll\ltl!l brings to a close Dr. Donovan's thorough
search for “the wry ablest man" for this important position.

Dr. \Velch‘s qualifications and his years of experience as dean
of the School of kuriculture and director of the Experiment Sta~
tion at the L'niyr’rsityr oi Mississippi are indications that President
Donovan chose \\l\1-l}‘.

In his recommcialation to the Board of Trustees. the President
told of his two-year observation and search among agricultural
leaders throughout the nation with an eye to filling the ['K post
with "a man of great leadership.’~ Dr. Donovan is to be com-
mended for the thoroughness and foresight with which he went
about choosing lllt new dean.

Explanation

Of Baseball Tryout Policy

Editor:

Early in March when the athletic

dcpariment issued the official call
for candida'rs to 11v out for UK's
baseball team. from ~13 to 60 students
reported to Mr. Roy Skcens. then
acting coach. Many of the would—
l:e—l.nllplayers were not with the
team last year and were not players
on other UK tcanis. Most of them
were civcii tlic "ax" regardless of
ll‘lt‘ll' playing ability. Only a very
few were allowed the privilege of
provinc that they
not play baseball well enough to
make the school's team.

When the baseball team made its
first road trip South last week. 23
131i".\‘t‘lN‘rll‘iellltlllli’. four basketball
players who had not practiced base-
ball a single day—were taken along.
Scicn of these players were fresh-
men. The coach felt certain that
they would be allowed to play this
war.

The SEC decided to make fresh—
mcii eligible in September rather
than this .spi'inc :so UK was up the
proverbial creel: Last Tuesday at
Georcia. the baseball team forfeited
the second game of a double-licadcr
because two players were tossed
from the came by the umpires.
Coach Harry Lancaster said that he
(‘al 11o? have the players to replaic
the "no men he lost.

The oniv \ainity pitchers who
were with the team at Georgia were
C. M. Newton and Guy Strong, both
of who were with the basketball
team and thu.s could llOl cm their
arms in shape. Other baseball

or even on the team, merely be-
cause he played on the baseball
team.

I believe the Athletic Department
owes the students an explanation of
its policy in record to the baseball
team. especially on why good ball-
players were not allowed to prove
their worthiness of playing on the
team.

Ditches Again

Editor:

This may seem like a trifling sub-
ject to write a letter to the Kernel
about. and a few months ago I
would hate thought so too. But
every time I jump over that muddy
ditch between the engineering quad-
rangle and McVey Hall. the more
ii'iitatcd I gt-t. and the more im-
portant the .subicct becomes.

Why, I would him to know, does
that annoying. messy. little ditch
have to stay there month after
month? Just what good (loes it do?
1 haw no doubt that there must
have been purpow iii digging it to
start \viili. But why in the name of
common seine dont they accomplish
