"Come back, come back,

John W. Oswald told the Kentucky Federation of Business and
Professional Women's Clubs in
Louisville Saturday.
Oswald issued this invitation

to women over 23 to enroll at

run into problems as well as
satisfaction here, but added that
the University is determined to
solve these problems.

WAUK, the new program, for
women at UK, Oswald said, "It
was started just this past September, and it is designed to help
the University serve women over
the age of 25 by working out
courses, programs and schedules
to meet their particular needs."
Now there are S22 of these

"It is no longer adequate to seek the

LaVire added. When the other junior
colleges now authorized in Florida are
built, there will be one in commuting

percent.
As a final duty, community colleges
must establish programs, or "tracts", in
addition to the vocational-techiuca- l
programs, (nursing, agriculture, engineering,
etc.), which geneally are meant to terminate in two years when the student
joins the work force; and transfer programs, which are designed for students
who know when they enter a community
college that they will wish to continue
