UK Expansion Plans Call
For Over. 20 New Units

A master plan for campus cx- pansion projecting 10 to 15 years
into the future and involving pos- sible construction of more than 20
new buildings
has been an- nounced by UK.
The plan was presented in the
fall issue of "Our University." a
quarterly publication for faculty
ana sian memoers ai UK.. A large
map illustrating
the proposed
changes was enclosed with the
newsletter, and a statement by UK
President Frank G. Dickey ex- plained the purpose of the plan.
Dickey
said the University
Hoard of Trustees approved the

plan after Hare and Hare, a Kan- C ity
ronultinz firm, had
studied the problem for 18 months.
The consultants were assisted by
a University planning committee
headed by Dr. Leo M. Chamber- lain, vice president of the I'nl- versity.
The president estimated the
lotai cost or the project at "about
20 to 25 million dollars." but he
emphasized that the amount of
money and the length of time it
would require could not be ac- curately determined this far in
advance. He said bond issues would
support a sizeable portion of the

Cot. particularly in d.r:niltry con

said there has been much talk
about the new fctandards among
professors. "I'm not going to
change my grading system." he
said. "I believe this is the general
feeling of the Engineering De- -

"There are weak areas (in the
University) and the only way to
raise standards is in class with
the instructors not with rules

work harder," Prof. Hite concluded.
"I don't think the rule will last.

by students.

Biggest Increases In this year's
grand-tota- l
are in evening classes
on the campus and extension
classes over the state. The evening program has almost 200 more
students than last fall, while the
extension program shows an Increase of approximately 400.
The Ashland Center has 393
students this year, 50 less than
last fall. At Covington, the figure
decreased from 594 In 1957 to 516
this year.
Dr. Elton said one significant
total
fact about the
was the Increase In the number of
new students (freshmen and transfers). This year's total. 2,478, is
322 more than last fall.
In addition to these figures, the
University has some 3.100 persons
taking correspondence courses and
another 200 or more taking courses
without credit. In all. more than
13,000 persons are receiving educational Instruction from the

record .total have enrolled for
credit courses at UK.
The fiRiire, reported yesterday
by Dr. Charles F. Elton, dean of
admissions and registrar, includes
all persons registered for credit
on the Lexington campus, those
enrolled at the University's centers at Covington and Ashland,
those In the evening program at
Lexington and those in organized
extension classes throughout the
.state.

Last year, when the previous
record was set. 9.136 persons, or
about 615 less than this year, took
organized courses for credit.
A breakdown
of the figures
.shows that campus enrollment,
which was 7.297 last year, increased by 145 persons to 7.442.
This total is still approximately
350 below the 1947 figure, when

for one of the men's dormitories,
to be located on the practice football field between Donovan Hall
and Fraternity Row.
Shown on the map but expected
to be further in the future are
additional agriculture classroom
buildings, more dormitories and
general classroom buildings, a
gymnasium for physical education and a new administration
building.
Several existing buildings will be
razed before the project Is completed. Included among these are
the College of Commerce Building,
the Psychology Building, the Agriculture Administration Building,
the Physics and Chemistry Buildings, the Geology Building, the
Health Center, and a number of
annexes an dtemporary structures.
The project will benefit from a
series of street changes near the
University- which are being
planned by Lexington City officials. Extensions of Cooper Drive,
south of the campus, and Euclid
Avenue, on the north, are included
in these plans.
Dickey said the flexibility of the
plan would offer several possible
directions for future campus expansion. "We want to leave the
heart of the campus w here it is
now," he said, "so that we can
delay as long as possible perhaps
forever the day when 'shuttle
buses' are needed to take students
from one part of the campus to
another."
The president predicted that
alumni returning to the campus
10 or 12 years from now will "rub
their eyes in disbelief" at the
changes that have taken place.
"But. among all the changes, the
one which we hope will capture
their imagination most will be the
improvement in the quality of edu- cational opportunity provided by f
the building program which stems
from this campus plan," Dickey
said.

The New Campus
campus eyesores.
President Dickey has estimated
that an outlay of $20 to $25 million
will be required by the time the
projected buildings and facilities are
completed. Some of this money for
dormitories, for instance will be ob-

tained through bond issues. Classroom buildings, however, produce no
rent income as do dormitories, and
are therefore dependent upon fluids
from the legislature for construction.
Since these funds vary from year to
year, it is not possible to say exactly
when all the new classrooms will be
completed.
The master plan calls for no overnight transformation of the campus
into a beehive of construction activity, and those of us who are students now will not see the plan completed before we graduate. But thanks
to the farsightedness of the board of
trustees, we'll be able to return in a
few years and find ourselves having
to ask directions to a now
building.
It's a comforting thought.

Registration Headache
The registration day battle of 'student against student and professor
against student will continue for at
least another year. Although everyone associated with the University,
has been well aware for years of the
existing system's drawbacks,
the
usual moans will be heard from the
Coliseum
again prior to next
semester.

The forging of advisors' signatures,
evading guards to get on the Coli- scum floor, standing in line sometimes for hours and fighting for
classes that are needed will be prevalent again and again until some
changes, however few, are made.
Until then, utter confusion and chaos
will continue to reign at registration.
At present, fortunately, a new system of

advanced from an idea to the planning stage although nothing is definite.

card is taken by the student to his

his schedule is made out for the
next semester. From here the 'student
will take his signed schedule card to

After poring over the map of the
proposed expansion of the University
campus during the next 10 to 15
years, we are pressed for adjectives
descriptive of our pleasure with the
plan.
Jt is, very simply, wonderful.
The master plan of the campus was
of
approved by
Trustees after a detailed study by a
city planning firffi, and the result
indicates that thedecisions for locations of new buildings as well as
choice of which buildings should
come f irst were made with an eye
toward both beauty and expediency.
In the former instance, the plan
calls lor the construction of several
buildings within the main campus'
present boundaries; this not only will
utilize present space more efficiently,
but will keep the campus from losing
its beauty through too much expansion.
In the latter case, the plan provides for jiew buildings to replace
those already obsolescent orlike the

The initial reaction in the United

convinced of its technological superioritywas stunned disbelief.
This was followed swiltly by alarm,
concern, hysteria, panic. If the vocal

of chagrin and even a touch of in-

There was talk immediately after
Sputnik 1 about complacency in high
places, about the lack of a sense of
urgency.

The Army declared that if it
hadn't been for Pentagon politics
and penny pinching, it could have
put up a satellite way back in 1955.
Well, a year has now passed since
Sputnik I. If there is a grim determination to overtake the Russians,
regardless of cost, in the missile and
satellite field, or in producing scientists and engineers for the future, the
record doesn't show it.
Meantime, the Russians have put
two more huge satellites into orbit,
one weighing 2,919 pounds. The
United States has boosted four into
space, the largest of which weighs 38
pounds.

At the risk of olfending a small
minority of students on campus, I feel
it a part of my duty as a student at the
University and as a citien to bring to
light an incident that happened the lirst

think the majority ot students on
campus are quite tolerant toward the
presence of Negroes in our .classes. The
past several years (with integration)
haven't brought forth any outward incidents or hostile leelings, to my knowledge. I'm sure wcaie all glad that it has
not been necessary to have military or

the Negroes should also take
a mature viewpoint to their campus relationship. ' Very few, if any, are here

case at several other Southern universities. Any attempts on their part to abuse
