Problem Was Arate in 37
The problem of caring for women
students at the University became
acute In the fall of 1937. when more
than Ml applications for space in
the two women's dormitories were
turned down. Assistant Dean of
Women Sarah B. Holmes stated.
These girls were provided for by
private rooming houses under the
supervision of the University authorities. All girls who applied for
rooms through the University were
placed either in the dormitories,
sorority houses or in private homes.
Dean Holmes said.
She explained, however, that because many parents preferred that
their daughters room in dormitories, some 50 women students were
lost to the University last year. At
least that many are expected to stay
way from the University this fall
because of inability to obtain dormitory rooms, she said.
To provide for 18 of the
excess applicants expected, a house
at 330 South Limestone street, formerly occupied by the Alpha Delta
Theta sorority, has been leased
from the Good Samaritan hospital,
owner of the property. Upperclass
women students will occupy this
resMenot and will take their meals
in the Boyd hall dining room, which
has a capacity of 250 persons.

University Gets Partial Credit
For Success Of Education
Radio Script
Exchange
Partial credit was given the University recently by the office of
education, Washington, for the success of the educational radio script
exchange, a unit of the Federal
Radio Education committee.
Created under authority of the
commission, the
communications
exchange supplies without cost to
school, church and civic groups
radio scripts for dramatization of
plays of all kinds. Some of the
plays were prepared by the office
of education, others originally pro
duced by schools and colleges.
One of the most popular radio
serials offered by the exchange originally was prepared for broadcasting by the University of Ken
tucky studios. Entitled "Epoch Dis
coveries of the Past," it dramatizes
discoveries which have revolution
ized science and industry.
Officials in the script exchange
reported there was a growing interest by amateur radio groups
throughout the country In the services It has to offer. In addition to
copies of script, the exchange offers
free information in the use of
radio sound effect instruments.
One of the many organizations
which have made use of the exchange was the Missouri School for
script of an
the Blind. A
historical dramatization was translated Into 180 pages of Braille and
a cast of sightless persons gave a
highly successful performance over
St. Louis University's radio station.

Of Term
An illustrated lecture on "Olimp-se- s
of Other Worlds" was given by
Dr. A. M. Harding, noted lecturer
on astronomy at the first general
convocation of the term Thursday
in Memorial hall.
Dr. Harding, professor of mathematics and astronomy at the University of Arkansas, was introduced
by Dr. H. H. Downing, professor
of mathematics in charge of astronomy at the University.
Dr.
Adams presided at the meeting.
The uncompreshensible distances
from the earth to other heavenly
bodies were stressed throughout the
talk by Dr. Harding. As an example he showed that it took light,
traveling at the rate of 186.000
miles a second, eight minutes to
reach the earth from the sun.
Defining the word "world" as
"any heavenly body that goes
around the sun," Dr. Harding devoted a portion of his talk to a
comparison of the sizes of relative
distances of the nine planets that
revolve around our sun.
A series of slides was shown giv
ing actual telescope pictures of the
surface of the moon. Dr. Harding
explained that we were able to see
the moon because of its and the
earth's motion and because It reflected light.
That the sun was covered with
sun spots, each of which are larger
than the earth, was shown by Dr
Harding.
Sun spots, according to
Dr. Harding, have an effect on the
earth; radio, telephone, and telegraph reception
being lessened
when the spots were more numerous.
These spots become numerous
about every eleven years, the astronomer explained.
To show the enormous size of
the sun. Dr. Harding explained
that the earth, with the moon revolving about it has a smaller diameter than that of the sun.
The great distance of stars from
the earth can be seen when it is
realized that while light can reach

has made marked contributions to
the commonwealth. Today the University consists of seven colleges,
an experiment station with two
stations at

bureaus of business research, government research, school service and
