The fall semester seems to have opened with a flurry
of excitement and enthusiasm for freshmen here at UK.
A small purvey taken thi3week Indicates that freshmen
Are well pleased but a little bewildered at the'size of UK
and. the number of students. Following are comments"
taken at random from freshmen on campus.

student from Lexington

it's one of the best. I looked over a lot of universities
before I came here and I liked this one best. There are
a lot of pretty girls around here but I think there's goin?
to be a lot more studying to do."
John McCourt, an English student from Lexington
Catholic, says. "I like the University as a whole but I
don't like these late classes."
Of the female side. Glenda Moore, a math major
from Western Hi School, had this to say. "I like it Just
fine so far but a couple of things have confused me some.
Registration was! the most confusing day of my life. The
time gets me mixed up too. I don't :are what time we're
on but I wish we could run on one or the other."

I love the University as a whole."
Louise Whitehou.se,' a home economics student from

so big it's not what I thought it would be but I like It
a lot. I like the freedom of choice we have in selecting
our subjects. That seems to be the big difference between
this and high school."
If this poll represents the bulk of freshmen on campua
it indicates that they are very satisfied but Just a llttlo

When Kentucky's football Wildcats hit the lielcl of battle against the Ole Miss Rebels
in Memphis tomorrow night, Look, out! The contest coulil prove to be one of the bloodiest
duels .(ought in the OI Dixie since the days of the Civil War.
the Colliermen were not even

Tech and crew, after being completely surprised with the
new strategy of long-di- s
tance passing combined with, an
equally -- as- erncient outside run

are quick to comment that the
'53 edition of the Wildcats have a
tremendous potential and will not
be quite as cooperative in turning
over and playing dead as they did
a year ago.
Instead, the Johnny Rebs of Oxford may well be up against a
bunch of Rebels themselves as the
'Cats attempts to gain revenge for
last season's 15-- 0 licking handed
them in Lexington on way to a

First Problem

JSv.

:

f-

The University of Kentucky's
new electronic computer solved Its
first problem on the campus this
week, performing what may be a
valuable service for. the coal in-

dustry. .
Working out a formula by- a process known as linear programming,
the machine presented in two
minutes an answer that would
have taken at least eight hours
with a desk calculator.
Dr. Richard S. Mateef , new head
of UK's Mining and Metallurgical
Engineering Department, presented
this problem to Dr. John W.
Hamblen, director of the computing center:
Five different types of coal were
available, each with different
chemical analysis. Some were of
superior quality but expensive to
mine; others were more easily
mined but Inferior in quality. Ma-tewanted to find a combination
of the five types of coal which
would meet certain performance
requirements at a minimum cost.
Two minutes after these data
were fed into thej machine, the
correct blending proportions were
produced. Mateer and Dr. E. M.
Spokes, professor of mining engineering- at UK, said such information could result in cheaper coal
and increased production for industry.
The electronic computer was installed at the University earlier
this month. It will be used chiefly
for research and instruction.
