COME TO CLOSE

Decrease Noted
In Students'

Participating

su-de- nt

The Kernel Union driving tests
conducted by Sergeant John Phythian. chief license examiner of the
state, closed last night. Although the
number of students who participated
in the three day tests was not given.
Sergeant Phythian indicated that
there was a marked decrease from
the record number of 233 contestants
who took part last year.
'Despite the drop in student participation, we were well pleased with
the interest shown by those who did
take the tests". Sergeant Phythian
said. The comparatively small response
attributed to the lack of
advance publicity and to the fact
that no prizes were offered to the
students compiling the highest score.
The realization that the public
was
is becoming
again brought to light when the records showed that only one con
testant in 20 failed both the written
.comprehensive teste and the road

positions.
Freshmen,
and seniors,

i.
are eligible to sign up in the
Enlisted Reserve while still in school,
and be allowed to continue their
education until graduation, provided
certain scholastic standings are met.
EIGHT COURSES OPEN
There are eight different fields
in the Army Air Corps, and a concerned student has his choice between a commission as a flying offisophomores,
juniors cer or on the ground. For instance,
between the ages of commissions are available in armaments, communications,
engineer"I ing, metallurgy,
and photography,
as well as in flying. Those Interested
in flying can receive a commission
either as pilot, bombardier, or navigator.
Since the new field is open to
freshmen, high school seniors, who
are contemplating not coming to
college on account of the war.
should be especially interested. Once
they enroll in the Enlisted Reserve,
they are permitted to continue in
college until graduation.
For those who wish to work for a
commission in the advanced R. O. T.
the Enlisted Reserve sounds even
more promising. By being in advanced military and the Reserve
together, the student has the privilege tf seeking a commission by
two channels. Upon graduation he
can decide between the two.
Students who enlist in the Reserve will wear the official Insignia
of the air corps while in school,

and now that the university is a
focal point for this training, those
students who sign up together, can
pursue an air corps commission col
lectively. This has been a policy of
of the air corps for the past several
months.
H. H. Arnold. Commanding General of the U. S. Army
Air Forces, has the following to say
concerning the Enlisted Reserve.
"We believe that this plan of deferment after enlistment will benefit
the young men concerned and their
colleges, arid also serve the vital
purpose of Insuring a continuous
supply of men well qualified physi
cally and by education to become
members cf the Army Air Force."
Besides stating the qualifications
necessary for enlistment, and other
pertinent Information. Colonel Yost
will show a late March of Time
sound Aim on "Army War Activity."
On this evening's program with Col- -t
nel Yost will be Lt. J. E. Krause,
who will give the factual accounts
of Aviation Cadet training. Lieutenant Krause, is a recent graduate
of the Army Air Corps.
A great deal of interest in the

TO THE UNIVERSITY OF
KENTUCKY STUDENT BODY:
"Once in a lifetime" so far as
your student career is concerned, you
will have the opportunity to witness
the inauguration of the president of
your Alma Mater.
"Next Wednesday afternoon, at
three o'clock. Dr. Herman Lee Donovan will be officially inducted into
the office of the presidency, and it
is the hope of the committee in
charge of arrangements, and the
faculty, that all students plan to attend the exercises. To that end the
administration has dismissed all
University classes, from the end of
the fourth hour, through the afternoon. An inauguration of a University president is always an inspiring

1
n2

occasion, and to Univerity of Kentucky students the induction of Dr.
Herman Lee Donovan into the high
office of president of the University
of Kentucky should be especially im- pressive as he is an alumnus of the

institution.
"I have noted in the past that
University students always exercise
a higher degree of responsibility in
whatever is expected of you and
with that in mind, the inaugural
committee asks your complete co-- i
operation in this event with the as-- I
surance that you will make your-- i
selves gracious and obliging to vis- itors on the campus, and that you
will attend the inauguration
p.m. on Stoll field.

"Sincerely,
"Thomas P. Cooper, chairman

Engineers Erect
Tower To Cool

Drafting Room
No, it isnt a tower that the engineers are constructing on their
building because they are jealous
of the tower of Uie Biological Sciences building. It is Just a much needed ventilation unit that the University has finally found enough money to build.
It is a type of the "Penthouse
System of Exhaust Ventilation." The
house that will contain the system
is already completed and Is fourteen feet long, ten feet wide, and
seven feet high. The walls of the
house are made of "celotex".
According to Professor Perry West,
head of the department of mechanical engineering, the total cost of this
unit will be $750. The immediate
reason for construction of the unit
at this time is due to the expected
increased summer enrollment.
There will be four fans in the
house, one in each of the walls. In
one minute the four fans can remove 60,000 cubic feet of air from
the drafting room. This means that
all the air in the room can be changed in one and one half minutes.
This unit will also help to ventilate
the second story of the south wing
of the quadrangle.
The house is directly in the center of the east wing and a hole will
be cut thru the roof of the building and the ceiling of the drafting
room twelve feet long and five feet
w ide under the house. Thru this hole
150 tons of hot air will pass out of
the drafting room each hour of the
hot summer days.
"It will not lower the temperature below that outside the building but will lower the inside tern- perature 15 to 17 degrees below
what it. has been in the past four
summers." Professor West. said.
