A total of 1151 students was
listed by the registrars- office
yesterday afternoon in an incomplete summary of the second
summer term enrollment.
The total probably will be increased with the addition of students enrolled for late special
courses and some enrolled for
coaching school which have not
been added into the total.
At this date, enrollment thews
a drop of 231 from la.st year's
1472 total.
The draft and lush jobs in
national defense industries were
credited with most of the drop
first in six years of summer

of Beattyville townspeople and Lee
count ians.
One performer on a local talent
program walks 15 miles every Tuesday to sing a couple of songs, she
said, and another rides the train 28
miles to be on the air.
NEWS BROADCASTS POPILAR
..Probably the most popular portion of the station's broadcast period is the
review of the
day's news. Since Beattyville has no
daily newspaper and
dailies have only limited circulation,
WBKY is the only source of up to-tminute news for many of the
citizens.
The station operates on an ultrashort wave frequency of 42.900 kilocycles and has power of 100 watts.
It cannot be heard on standard
commercial receiving sets.
The station i.s an outgrowth of
the University's policy. "The state
is our campus,
and is a developprogram of
ment of the three-pathe UK studios, Director Sulzer explained. In addition to the regular
broadcasts from the University studios and the mountain listening
centers, it was felt that there should
be localized broadcasting, with a
view to setting up a radio-schosystem.
The transmitter for WBKY was
designed and constructed at WHAS,
Louisville, from parts purchased by
the University. Over a year and a
half was spent in building equip- ment compact enough for the small
quarters and powerful enough to
carry programs throughout the
county.

praised these, and
Stuart's other published works,
"Beyond Dark Hills." his autobiography, and "Trees of Heaven," a
novel, for their unusual style and
themes.
EARLY EDI CATION
was
His elementary
education
sketchy, but during that time he
wrote poetry on redhorse tobacco
sacks, shoe boxes, pieces of wall
paper and wood, sugar sacks and
even, while In the wooes, poplar
leaves.
While young, he recounts. ne
liked to go coon hunting with a
lantern and volume of Burns, to read
poetry by lantern light until a
dog's barking signalled a treed roon.
Burns was his idol at the time, and
he resolved to be "the American
Burns." Since then he has lost all
desire to imitate another's style.
Stuart hired out to a farmer for
25 cents a cay when he was nine
years old. when he was 11. workd
cutting corn and timber, and on
a paving gang, until he was 15.
He was still in high school at 18

For 11 months following that he
worked in a Birmingham steel mill.
and defied that alnotlier idol,
Carl Sant.burg. had seen these mills
only at night and from a rtistanre
to write poetry about them.
COLLEGE
After these experiences, he packed
his trunk and sent it to Berea college, following on foot with 30 dollars in his pocket. Berea couldn't
give him a degree for that, so he

western Germany with effect.
Berlin has been the target for both
British and Russian bombers this
week. American built flying fortresses are reported to have been
used most effectively. Sicily has
been reported bombed by the British. In Iran, Britain and Russia are
now reported about to take action
jointly to drive out the German
technicians who are reportea there
in large numbers.
On the eastern front In Russia
the armies have been engaged in a
terrific new struggle this week. In
the north the Russian armies defending
Leningrad
and Moscow
seem to have held their ground
against German attacks. On the
southern part of the defense line,
south of Kiev, the German armies appear to have driven their way
southward ana to have reached
the Black Sea at the port city of
Nikolaev, east of Odessa. That c'tv
.veems to have been cut off. The
German plan seems to be to drive
the Russians out of the territory
between the Dniester and the Dnieper Rivers. This constitutes the western part of the Ukraine.
The Russians report that they
have successfully retired their armies behind the Dnieper River where
they say they have strong defense
positions. The Germans, on the
other hand, say that they have
cut off and trapped hundreds of
thousands of Russian soldiers in
this area. If the Russians have done
what they say they have done, and
have not lost too much equipment,
they should now be occupying their
strongest defensive positions. Their
line would then run practically in
a straight line north and south
from the Ealtic to the Black Sea.

Lexington music lovers will re-

member this concerto from the fine
performance
given it by Maude
Miles Ogle and the University Little
Symphony Orchestra last winter on
the Sunday Afternoon Musicale
series.
The D Minor concerto was composed in 1785 and it stands as one of
the composer's finest works. In it
we find Mozart the creative giant
lather than tlie dapper court composer As Veinus states in his comments on the work: "We hear a personalized account of the profound
agitations and the exalted sorrows of
a turbulent
era"

the variations as arranged for two
