45 Students May
By NANCT MEADOWS
Dr. J. C. Faves. head of the Mathematics

Department, announced yesterday that 45
students have parsed the algebra and
trigonometry examinations to
taking these pubjets in college.
The 45 students who received a grade
of A or D on the
test were among
117 students who took the test during the
freshman orientation week schedule.
Four freshman students passed the algebra lest with a grade of A, Eaves reported. They are William McCray. Frankfort: Linda Alvey, Summit; Mary Frances
Richardson, narbourville, and Thomas

Dr. Fairer. reported that Thomas Bagby
Jr., now in the Army, received one of the
highest grades ever made on the exam.
The students, to be eligible to take the
exam, must be in the upper teit
percentile on the UK entrance exams, the
Colteste Qualification Battery tests.
Dr. Eaves stressed that the students who
pass the eam and are now eligible to

necessarily mathemattc geniuses. They
have ample background in these courses,
he said, and have learned to take advantage of the courses offered at their high

Dr. Eaves does not think the number of
students who pass the tests proves that
Kentucky has an adequate educational
program in math, although he believes the
schools are becoming more aware of the
problem and the math teaching program
has improved within the last four or five
years.
"A few of our students are actually taking advantage of some of the gtxxi programs which we do have." he said. But he

Indonesian, Contract
M Renewed By UK
The University's contract 1o
provide engineering and scientific aid to the University of
Indonesia at Bandung has been
renegotiated and extended.
The signing of the new contract,
worth $2,354,000, was announced
yesterday by Dr. Merl Baker, coordinator cf the contract. It represents an increase of $1,119,300
over the old contract and extends
UK's services to the Indonesian
University until 1961.
The Kentucky Research Foundation is responsible for administering the contract between UK and

the

-

International

Administration, an agency of the
U. S. State Department.
Extension of the original agreement came, at the request of of- ficials at the University In" Indonesia, Baker said.
"In effect," he stated, "the previous contract, which still had a
year to run, has been replaced by
a more satisfactory one."
Baker added that further expansion of the contract is expected
when it expires in 1961.
The contract is one of the
projects now in
Urgest-ICA-Universi-

operation, from the standpoint ct
personnel and funds involved. It
calls for instruction, advice and
other services by UK to the technical and scientific divisions of
the University of Indonesia. UK
also has a similar contract to assist the Indonesian university's
divisions of agriculture and veterinary science at Bogor, Indonesia,
seventy-fiv- e
miles west of Bandung.
Under the provisions of the new
contract, the University will send
20 professors in engineering,
physics, chemistry, mathematics
and other related fields to the
Bandung school. Seventeen of the
professors are already in Bandung.
The other three are expected to
be named soon. Nine others have
completed tours of duty there and
have returned to the United States.
One aim of the project ' is to
build upthe Indonesian faculty of
the school. To aid in this, outstanding students from the Bandung school are sent to the United
States for advanced training, after
which they will return to join the
faculty" thereAt "present." 23 In

Mr

Our Indonesian Project
A new feather was added to the
University's cap yesterday by the announcement of a new $2,351,000 con-

tract with the International CoOp-tratioAdministration for scientific
and engineering aid to the University
of Indonesia.

This new contract

n

actually a rewritten extension of a contract originally awarded UK in July, 1956.
At that time the University agreed to
tend a contract team to Indonesia
to assist in developing "an effective
yrogTam of research, public service,
extension instruction and graduate
study." The additional funds in the
pew

is

$1,1 19,300 were
e
found necessary by a UK inspection
eam which visited Indonesia earlier
this year.
contract-som-

The UK team, from all reports,
done a commendable job of assisting the Indonesian university in
building up its programs. The fact
that our technical experts provided
r
assistance was pointed
up by a request from the Indonesian
officials that additions be made to the
UK team. Originally there were II
faculty members representing the
University there; under the new contract, there will be 20 in all, 17 of
whom are already in Indonesia.
high-calibe-

The University's assistance in this

j)rram

has been primarily in the

classroom,

ftSpsior

where instructors have

battled the compound hindrances of
language difficulties, lack of proper
laboratory equipment for specialized
work and a severe shortage of textbooks. They have managed to surmount these obstacles, however, and
additions to the physical plant of the
University of Indonesia are an integral part of future expansion plans.
Last year UK students sent some
2,500 textbooks to Indonesia, and the
Asia Foundation granted $10,000 to
buy reference books and periodicals.
Another aspect of the
effort is that Indonesian students are now studying in the United
States six of them at UK and will
return to their native country upon
graduation. This will provide the
University, of Indonesia with better
qualified personnel who will be able
to teach there permanently.
For the University faculty participating in the Indonesian assistance
contract, there have been many difficulties. It is not easy to leave one's
home and friends and go half-waaround the world to spend two or
three years, no matter how romantic
the prospects of travel may seem.
The members of the UK team are to
be commended, not only for the fine
job they are doing in Indonesia, but
for the spirit of
in which
they undertook the project.

ginning mathematics, the department
still has 1,000 students enrolled in
lower division courses which Dr.
Eaves feels they should have had in
fcigh school. In fact, the department
plans to drop the basic mathematics
course from its curriculum because
jnost of it is a repetition cf high school
material.

This awareness, we feel, is significant in itself, because improvement
can come only after there is an awareness that improvement is necessary.

We note with displeasure a new ruling
now being enforced in the Donovan Hall
caletcria. It seems that the freshmen and
few sophomores who live in the dorms
and therelore eat in the cafeteria are
being made to adhere to certain standards of dress while in. the dining room.
The ' extreme ' apparently has been
readied in the mandatory order that
boys wear shirts with collars and long
soks always with Bermudas belore they
will . be allowed to pass through the
cafeteria line. Requiring shirts with collars quite naturally excludes such comfortable and casual wear as sweatshirts
or white
It took some doing to discover exactly
who passed this riding. The cafeteria is
under new management, and it said at
first the dorm counselors were responsible. However, the head counselor of
Donovan said he knew nothing of the
origin of the rule, so a call to the Dean
of Men's olfice was needed to clear up
the matter. It seems an organization
(ailed the Men's Residence Hall's Governing Council last spring exercised its
somewhat dubious powers in decreeing
that their fellow dorm members' "dress

To cap it all, a dying combatant has

IFC faces the possible loss of a fraternity chapter here.
