gets underway.
They'll begin signing up for classes on Thursday. Sept. 16. and continue through Friday. Classes start
Monday.
Many universities throughout the
country will go through a slacking-of- f
in enrollment, according to Registrar Maurice Seay. but UK won't
be one of this group.
"The University is not 'filled up'
for fall and it is not difficult for
qualified prospective
to
gain admission," Dr. Seay said.
Kentuckians on campus will be
joined by a large number of
and foreign students. There
apis no ceiling on
plicants, but many of the foreign

students
out-of-ct-

students are having passport and
currency troubles, which might limit

Seay.

"Our physical plant has been supplemented to provide more facilities
for the student, and the faculty has
been greatly strengthened." he said.
Vice President Leo M. Chamberlain said that 21 war surplus structures will be used for classrooms
and storage space, and that temporary living units will house over
1000 students.
Housing Shortage Acute
But a hitch in another record en
rollment could be found in the lack
of living quarters.
"The housing shortage will be as
acute this fall as ever before," Dean
A. D. Kirwan said.
He said his worst headache was
finding living quarters for married
veterans.
The waiting list for Cooperstown
and Shawnee town already totals
more than the combined number of
married veterans living both places.
Cooperstown will house 139 married
veterans, and Shawnee town holds
129.

Combloux, France, was the scene
of a recent reunion of UK's two students in Europe, Harold Friedly and
Shelby Darbishire.
The occasion was an international
conference of student leaders with
representatives of UNESCO to discuss the problems of university reconstruction.
Friedly, travelling for the World
Student Service Fund, United States
student Welfare organization, had
completed a tour of German centers
of learning which included Freiburg and Heidelberg.
Darbishire, local SGA delegate to
study tours of Europe, had arrived from travels
through England and France.
The two UK seniors exchanged
notes on conditions in universities
in Europe before submitting reports
for publication in U.S. newspapers.

Ag Field Day Held

Here Yesterday

By Stanley J. SchiU
Education Editor
Something new has been added to
the grade system at the University.
The proverbial worm has turned.
and the professors are liable to find
the tables falling on them soon.
With final exams in sight, a group
of commerce students living in the
Scott Street Barracks have decided
to get back at their instructors by
showing them what it feels like to
be graded.
A poll was taken of all the barracks men who have ever taken
courses in the College of Commerce
to see how the instructors rate with
their students. Although the straw
vote is not official, nor a good cross- section of student opinion, it is
hoped that the idea might catch on,
and that the project might become
campus-wid- e
in the fall.
Profs May Flunk
The possibilities of such a project
are numerous. It is probable" that
some of the professors will get "E"

knows, maybe the English department will write the themes for students to correct. Professors will be
mopping their brows after being subjected to finals drawn up by their
students. At last the students will
find out whether their instructors
can pass their own exams. Oh, happy day!
Getting back to the commerce college ratings as determined by the
barracks residents, the teachers
were rated on the basis of five points
for top rating, four for next, then
three, and so on down. Each man
filled out a sheet rating all his incow-towi-
