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. 2. 1902. Dr. Welch was reared on a Misstssippi farm He received his bachelor‘s degree from the Univer- sity of Mississippi in 1927. his mas— Dcan K irwan Hits “Journalistic License’ Deal. bupy AvallaDle h. LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY, FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1951 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 Director. Dean Welch has conducted con- siderable research. has been econom- ic advisor to the National Cotton CounCil. and has served as chairman of the central steering committee making studies of agricultural and Dean Cooper Ends 33 Years Service At Present Post economic problems‘ of the Cotton‘ 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 and has one child. 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."

D Kirwan. dean of students, replied with a charge of "journalist- ic license.“ In a story headlined "Jazz is bar- red from campus of U. of Kentucky Educators." "Downbeat" said: “Jazz may be accepted at Carnegie hall and the Metropolitan Opera House. and have received the serious attention of such composers as Igor Stravinsky. Antonin Dvorak. and Aaron Copland. but it's been barred from the University of Kentucky Richmond Editor Win Speak < 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." On Modern Moral Movements Virginius Dabney. editor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch. will de- liver the third lecture in the Blazer series at 8 pm. Thursday in the Guignol Theatre.

The lecturer has written several books dealing with the problems. of the South These include "Liberal- ism iii the South". “Below the Po~ tomae". and “Dry Messiah' The Life of Bishop Cannon". Time magazine has said that this author presents both sides of the question in his writing. Dabiiey was born in Charlottcs— ville.

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.“ Tickets Should Be Obtained For Mother-Daughter Lunch Women students who live in town or who commute should get their tickets for the mother- daughter luncheon before 4 pm.

Application Blanks Available April 12 At Local Boards 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 ; on May 26.
