Anthropology Class
May Be Televised
A recommendation that Physical
Anthropology I be given experimentally over TV for one semester
has been approved by the Social
Sciences faculty.
Approval by the Arts and Sciences faculty is also necessary before the plan can go into effect.
If that approval Is given. Physical Anthropology I will be taught
on' Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the second hour instead
of Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at the first hour as listed in
the second semester schedule book.
The class will be taught by Dr.
Charles E. Snow.
The cours-- would be taught by
the closed circuit television system but would actually be on open
so that
circuit TV, via WLEX-TUniversity and townspeople could
view the program. It will remain
a lecture course with assignments.
However, five tests would be given
instead of the usual four exams
during the semester.
Students' questions would be referred to the professor who would
answer them at the next lecture
session. Dr. Snow would also be
available for private consultations.
As the plan is set up. the Department of Radio Arts would assist in the production and re
ception of the TV course. Students
would probably watch the lectures
on receiving sets located in the
department's Studio A, with about
one large screen set for each 25
students.
While most of the students
would come to one, or possibly two
rooms to receive instruction, arrangements may be made for students to watch the program over
sets located In fraternity., or

YWCA Director Speaks Five Languages

-

the SUB.

$9,-066.8- 3,.

.Salgat, new executive director of UK's YWCA,
has lived in many places, and
spoken many languages.
Salgate, who has lived on three
continents and speaks five languages, assumed her duties here
in September after teaching Bible
studies at Wellsley College last
year.
The five languages the new director speaks are: German, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and English.
She lived with her parents and
two sisters in Geneva. Switzerland,
until she was 13. While in Switzerland, the family lived in the
French section and spoke the
French language.
Anne-Marie- 's
father, an en
Miss

Anne-Mar-

ie

gineer, was then sent to Brazil
and the family went with him.
They settled in Sao Paulor a Spanish-speaking
town, where Miss
Salgat attended ' the English-speakin- g
American high school.
The family later lived In Brazil
and Rio de Janerio, where Portuguese is spoken.
Miss Salgat came to the United

States in

1947 and entered the
University of Illinois, where she
obtained a degree to teach social
studies. She later earned another
degree at McCormick Presbyterian
Seminary in Chicago.
She then attended Union Theological Seminary in New York,
where bhe is now working towards
a doctorate.
After recchlng her bachelor's

degree, the young: linguist ' returned to Sao Paulo, and served
as director of education in an
American Church. She also served
as minister in the French Presbyterian Church.
Discussing Brazil, Miss Salgat
said it "changes so fast politically,
you never know what to expect."
She added that the Protestants of
the country tend to stay closer together because they are a minority
group. But, "they don't influence
politics as much as they should,"
Miss Salgat continued.
Referring to Geneva as a "city
of Peace Conference," Miss Salgat
said the "people are very proud
that Geneva has that reputation."
but she went on to say "very few
people Kre touched by what

on nor are they particularly

In-

This doesn't apply to university
professors or students nor to politicians she said. "The students

leads YWCA members to study how"
the Y can better function within
the University. Making the faculty
and staff more aware of the Y's
presence is another project of the
group.
"We want to get more people
involved in what students do and
what they need," she said.
She described the work by saying "it is very different, but it
keeps you alive and on your toes."

Teacher Shortage To Bring Disaster,
UK President Dickey Warns In Address
"A national catastrophe faces us
if we do not do .something to bring
the demand and supply of college
teachers closer together."
The statement was made Sunday
night by President Dickey at the
reopening session of a three-da- y
gional seminar on "Preparation
for College Teaching" at the
Phoenix Hotel.
Dickey told the group "the activities of a good college teacher
will go beyond the classroom.
Much of the independent research
in America today is carried on by
our professors of advanced learning."
He added that many of the
great discoveries and the scientific

"breakthroughs" that have affected the lives of all our people,
were accomplished, "in university
laboratories."
Dr. . A. D. Albright, executive
dean of UK's Extended Programs,
spoke on problems of graduate
schools. He said that southern

One incident which points up this
fact is the recent "demerit buyyoff"

said any cadet who felt his demerit
was unjustified could appeal. They
neglected to mention that all appeals
