enrolled in the school.

Beginning in September 19549 an attempt will be made to keep an. even balance
between boys and girls in each class, In other words. if a boy is next in order of
applications but a girl is needed to preserve the balance, the boy‘s name will be
by—passed and the next girl Will be taken“

T utoring

During the school year there are occassions when students must be away from
school for extended periodsg This time may vary from one week to several, weeks
Because of the problems presented when this occursp the Faculty has found it nec~
essary to take specific action so that every student may understand the situation.
The Faculty, by unanimous vote; has decided that when students need to make up
work they may by arrangement with the regular teacher and with the approval of the
Director of the School have a tutor outside of the school to assist them to make up
the work missed. The amount of the work, to be done is to be determined by the
teacher in the University School.

In the past, some students have requested that they be permitted to take courses
with tutors and receive full credit for this work» The Faculty unanimously decided
that no credit would be accepted and recognized where the work was done under a
tutor if the courses were available in the University School curriculum“ If a stu-
dent wanted to take a course not offered by the University School? an application in
writing would be presented to the Director of the University School and this in turn
would be submitted to the Faculty and the Faculty would decide whether the request
should be granted

Introducing Dr . Cierley

Dr. Morris Cierley (pronounced Ki-er-ley),new—
1y appointed Director of University School, is a
Southerner, born and reared in Tennessee near
the historic battlefield of Shiloh.

He received his early education in the public

degree. Later, he earned his Master of Educa-
tion degree at Peabody College for Teachers,

and his Master of Arts degree from Columbia
University, and his Ph.D. from the University

of Illinois, Where he was also research assist-
ant in Education.

Dr. Cierley has engaged in almost all types of
education experience. He began his teaching ca-
reer as teacher and coach of athletics, both

grade school and at Marrs Chapel, Tennessee.
Following that, he taught science at Castle
Heights Military School.

a life membership in the P.T.A. Congress by the Fort Smith P.T.A. organization.

now Chairman of the Elementary Commission of the Kentucky Association of Col-
leges and Schools. He belongs to a number of important educational organizations
including K.E.A.; N.E.A.; A.S.C.D.; Kappa Delta Pi, and Phi Delta Kappa.

Though Dr. Cierley's outside interests are many and varied, he confesses to apref-
ference for contract bridge. He likes sports of all kinds, however, and is looking
forward to attending and enjoying the University of Kentucky athletic contests even
though Memphis State or the University of Tennessee may be the victim. He is a
member of the Lions Club civic organization.

While at the University of Illinois, Dr. Cierley was married to Miss Evalyn Nelson
Reich, director of the Education library at Illinois. They live at 133 Arcadia Park.

every student early in the year. A list of these clubs and organizations and the
