In answer to a report that as

stated that there are some stragglers still looking for approved
accommodations, but they are

exactly how many students are

Mr. Cox has estimated that

living in fraternity houses. Freshmen are required
to live in the residence halls and
it is expected that there will be
between 1,000 and 1,400 freshmen
male students
nrolled in these
facilities.
All male students who plan to
live in
housing facilities are required to have them
by the Town Housing
approved
Department.
The Town Housing Department
also helps a student to obtain
housing by providing a list of
suitable rooms and apartments
which are available. But, says
Cox, the acquiring of the housing is left up to the individual.
We only tell him where it is
available.
If a student finds housing,
without the aid of the department he can obtain a copy of the
"Minimum Housing Specifications" and see if his room or
apartment meets the University
specifications of safety.
Another requirement for
housing, is that a landlord, landlady, or I'niversity approved supervisor live in or adjacent to the apartment. This
ruling does not apply to married
students.
Mr. Cox will be glad to see any
of
student'
listings
requiring
available housing, the "Minimum
Housing Specifications" pamphlet, or any other infoimation
which can be supplied by the
department .

year. Registration
cards, fee cards, and the various
miscellaneous cards used in registration are now handled entirely by
systems owned by the University.
Dr. Elton said 2,313 freshman
and seniors participated in the
preregistration program this summer. By enrolling early this summer these students avoided two
days of scheduling just completed
at the Coliseum.
Virtually all of the seniors that
enrolled for this semester
this summer. Due
to transportation or other difficulties only around 75rr of the
freshmen students preregistered
at the summer orientation classes
held this summer.
Enrollment for the University

Henderson, Cumberland and Fort
Knox is undetermined so far.
Last year the enrollment at the
centers was 1,835. At this same
rate total enrollment for the University this semester, includir.u'

classes, could amount to over
12,000 students.

A photoelastic stress analysis

M. L. Cli vett. senior research
engineer, calls photoelastic analysis one of the most important
the
methods for determining
proper .structural shape of products, devices and machines.
"Durinu the last two derides
there has been increasinu emphasis- on scientific techniques of
product
design and improve

of the photelastic process have
shown great promise in increasing product reliablity and structural integrity."
Trie process involves making a
transparent model of the part or
product to be studied which can
be subjected to polarized light to
examine stimulated internal mechanical stresses. Photographs of
the stress patterns quickly reveal
which those portions of the design which should be changed to
give improved strength-weig- ht
ratios and load distribution.
According to Clevett, many

such design changes in the products of smaller companies can
be determined at low cost in two

"More strength per pound of
material can be achieved by use
of this technique, and design
changes of the product's contours also frequently results in
extending tool life," Clevett said.

* THE KENT!

Well, gang another year at the
ole alma mater has started and
ns usual confusion reigns supreme. To these of you who are
returning to the hallowed halls
I have one suggestion for the
semester, never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
If you don't do it now you'll
never get caught up. remember
there's only one day off after today until finals end in December.
To the freshman there hit
many comments that can he
made but you'll soon h .i : n the
and be making sup;'' enrop'.
crypt ie comments of yo,;r xu. In
fact after five days ol ivireluvrv
around playing foil .w tin l":i.-r- ,
I'm sure your opinion of college ranges from boring to rinkv-dinThere are a few campus traditions you should become acquainted w it'i early. The one
which has passed from the scene
this year much to the dismay
f all the freshman
girls who
have been warned about it, is the
Sigma Nu registration table. This
novel bit of fraternity cataloging
has been an institution for years.
The Sigma Nu's set up a table
in front of their house, next to
the Wildcat, and signed up freshman gills for a directory as they
hurried to and from that battle
ground known as the Coliseum.
That's the only place on this
campus you can enter and five
minutes later leave minus your
mind. Rumors have been drifting
around that this year things
aren't quite so harrowing but the
old veterans of five or six semesters have their suspicions
that the rumor was planted by
the registrar's office. Anyway its
the one experience of your college career that you will never
forget if you live to be 100.
No doubt as a freshman you've
passed the statute of Piesident
Patterson on your many walks
are our lovely green University
area. There is the oldest of UK
traditions associated with this
.man. It is said that the old man
will rise from his brone chair
the day a virgin w alks by. Of
course this is a good joke to play
on fieshman women but its getting a little tired after these
many years.
As I mentioned
before you
have no doubt noticed the lush
of the grass and excellent
green
condition of the walks that rut

be horrified at such goings on

but these discussions are a very
important part of your college
education, and should not be bypassed. If you don't drink go
along and have a "Coke" but no

Right now the freshmen are
sort of isolated from the rest of
the world what with rush and

chance to get acquainted with

you can have with those fiat
men. So let's all go and make it
a real success.
And you greeks have a really
thrilling weekend in store for you

After you've been OK'd you
have the joyous task of finding
your book. You thought it took
a long time to get your library

known to enter as freshmen and
leave still without finding their
book as graduate students.
They do provide you with a
handy little map but it's so complicated it takes an architect to
decipher it.

chance you'll get.

Belts Make News
AP N'ewsfeature
Despite fickle fashion's shifty
attitude recently, belts are a
cinch to be around dresses for a
long time, if Norman Norell has
anything to do with It.
And the dean of American
couturier has. His swing, belted
suit from last season's collection
became a national uniform in all
price ranges. Almost every suit
had to have a belt because his
did.
This year, although Norell has
created an easy, waist less silhouette with a tier of a skirt, he
is still belting his suits, to the
delight of the Belt Association.
"Some dresses need belts, others do not. This has always been
true," Norell wrote to the association's executive director. Herbert Novick. "Belts are always a
part of my collection."
These are comforting words to
the industry, whatever Norell
does others will follow suit. Thus,
while the shift, skimmer, chemise, muumuu, and Lillie. may
have their day. the waistline is
still here to stay.

New Lighting System

Deserves Praise

The newly expanded ami improved campus lighting system is one of
which the University can justly he
proud ami is an area in which
the administrators must he congratulated.
The new system is not one which
can he measured for effectiveness in
dollars and cents. Rather, it must he
that the approximate
understood
$73,(MX) cost of the lights will buy
more than convenience for those students and faculty who traverse the

"
Sr-

-

grounds after dark. It is hoped the
lights will provide protection for men
and women against the potential criminals known to frequent college and
university campuses.
These lights have been specifically
designed to eliminate the dark spots
existing between the old lighting fixtures on campus. The old lights,
while they illuminated a specific area
to a satisfactory degree, left much to
be desired in such areas as the botanical gardens. The light from each of
the new high intensity fixtures will
overlap the lighting area of the next
lamp and thus provide a continuous
path of safety for those who must
cross the campus at night.
Too often many students fail to
realize the real danger of walking
in an unlighted area after dark. There
have been cases in the past in which
these people have learned that such
dangers do exist on the campus. Fortunately, there have been no serious
incidents here at UK.
It's especially important to note
that we didn't have to wait for a serious crime to be committed on campus before we did get the lights.

The Kerne! tips its hat to the administration for its policy in handling
the registration of the senior class during the summer months. Those who
were able to participate in the program found it exceedingly efficient,
and time saving.
This fall the seniors did not have
to stand in line for as much as two
clays to get their classes and their
schedule completed for their last year
on the campus. Things generally
moved smoothly and speedily.
The Kernel believes this is a pol- -

Lellers To The Editor

icy which could stand some consideration in planning the registration
program for the second or spring
semesters, and one that should continue in the future.
The Kernel also believes that
seniors are not the only ones that
should have these privileges. The
efficiency and speed with which registration took place could be extended to all students of the University.
The Kernel suggests that the administration in planning registration
programs in the past, consider a
plan which was as efficient
as the one many seniors enjoyed during the summer months.

All letters to the editor must be
signed by the author and must include his college, classification, address, and telephone number. Faculty members submitting letters must
include their name, rank, and college
or department.

Register To Vote
To The Editor;
As a citizen of Kentucky and as
one backing a candidate for the office of city commissioner in Lexington, I would like to remind the readers of the Kernel that tomorrow is
the last day to register for the general election on Nov. 5. This is, of
course, a necessary step in exercising and protecting the right to vote.
Someone who fails to take that step
now may regret it when he becomes
interested in the election during the
next two months.

From The Daily Texan
When I left for college several
years ago, my father said. "These will
be the best years of your life. Enjoy
them."
For a while, they may not seem
so gay. Chances are you'll go home
quite a bit during your first semester,
and will wait anxiously by the mailbox to hear from your friends at home.
For a while, von might sit by yourself at night and wonder why you
are here.
Then, slowly at first, you'll begin
to find out. The faces are different,
the conversations might be dilferent,
but you're still with people. And
you're still yourself.
You'll change some, more than
likely. You might stay up later on
some nights, burning the midnight oil
). You might form
(and then s
different ti ieii;k!iirs than you had
ever thought you would. You'll learn
some new words, and how to pronounce some old ones. You may even
learn what they mean.
At first, all the faces will just be
faces. As time wears on. you'll occasionally see somebody you know.
And by the time you graduate, you
won't be able to walk the length of
a football field without seeing a friend.
Some of you won t be around for
the spring semester. There is a lot
of beer to drink here, and a lot of
parties to go to. if you're so inclined.
That's one way to get out of the
University.
Another way is to chain yourself
to your desk, leaving your room only
to go to class or to the library, by
deeping w ith your books, and abvays
carrying them with you, you can lxi- -

come
and can produce untold thousands of facts upon
demand.
Still another way is to split the
extremes. Study, but not exclusively.
There are several different commodities of which to partake at the University. If you confine yourself to a
limited diet, you may become so
deficient in the other nutrients that
you are unable to use that with which
you have gorged yourself.
You may spend a large amount of
time searching-f- or
truth, for companionship, for yourself. You will
learn, with any degree of luck, to ask
why. You may even get some answers.
You don't stand a very good
chance of finding what one professor
relers to as "instant wisdom." You
may bluff your way through, by taking easy courses in an easy major
field, and possibly even eliciting a
little. Vu II come out with about
as much as you put in.
Your first semester here, you'll
probably write out a comprehensive
schedule, showing yourself what
times your classes meet, complete
with buildings, room numbers, and
professors. Alter a year or so, you'll
be able to remember your schedule
as soon as you register.
You're bound to draw
classes at least some of the time,
and some semesters you may go so
far as to have Saturday classes. You'll
learn how to avoid both, however, as
you move on up the scale and leave
the unfavorable schedules to the
freshmen.
If you've never been a
you might become one. Dur
early-mornin- g

ing final
of your
nonsense
drugged

exams, you can watch some
fellow students scribbling
with a wide-eyestance,
to the gills with Benzedrine.
You (and they) will wonder why
they don't study more during the
semester.
At the start of each semester,
you'll vow not to fall behind in your
work. Chances are, however, that
you'll learn the joy of staying up all
night .to type a term paper to hand
in the next clay. Of course it was
assigned three months ago. but Vou
actually only had two weeks to work
on it, for some reason.
Y'ou'll meet Puritans and sinners,
and cross - b u r n e r s.
You'll probably see an integration
demonstration or so. Y'ou'll watch
student politicians in all their glory,
trying to sell a usually apatlU'tic student body on the advisability of help-inallocate some S25P.OOO in student
money annually.
ou may smoke, because everyone tells you it is the thing to do.
You may not. because you don't think
you ought to.
You'll get to read about, and posmeetsibly participate in.
ings on "Individualism, a Croup Problem." You'll see tables full of bearded
and leotarded males andor females
sit over col fee in the Union and talk
about the evils of conformity.
Y'ou'll learn to buy books early, so
that you can beat the rush to the
lxtokstore and get inexpensive used
books. You'll learn to distrust buy ing
books early when you find that the
professor doesn't really plan to use
them in this course.

Probably you'll discover which
professors give quizzes from the class
notes, which you neglected to take,
and which teachers concentrate on
the library outside readings in the
course, which you'll get around to
fighting for, along w ith everyone else
in class, about a week before finals.
Sometime during your stay at the
University, you might have to go to
the Student Health Center for a sore
throat, cold, or other ailment, and
you'll curse socialized medicine and
inefficient bureaucracy.
As a freshman, you'll bemoan the
fact that you aren't allowed to have
a car. When y ou get to be an
you'll spend happy hours
searching lor a nonexistent parking
place. As a
dormitory
life will seem a constant imposition on
your privacy and peace and quiet. As
an
some morning yon
may find yourself being engulfed by
the creeping apartment crud which
has taken over your haven.
During your dormitory or boarding house sojourn, you'll complain
about the grease content of the food,
and will question its origin. As an
apartment-dweller- ,
the mysterious
hurdles of
will be encountered. You'll learn how to eat
s
TV dinners.
