Authorities Believe Present
Enrollment Will Equal
Semester
'37-'3- 8

Total enrollment for the second
semester had climbed to 3.185 at
the close of yesterday's registration
according to figures released last
night by Dr. Leo M. Chamberlain,
University registrar.
Students will be allowed to register until Monday, February 6. It is
believed that enrollment for the
present semester will equal 3.484, the
total enrollment for the second semester 1937-3- 8
by Monday.
Registration officials said that it
is hardly possible that the final registration will equal the all time enrollment record of 3.604, but it is
probable that the present enrollment will be close to the average
for the second semester last year.
Enrollment figures for the second
day of registration for 1937-3- 8
shewed a total of 3,175 while figures
of 4.he second day enrollment for
the first semester this year hit
After the close of second day
registration for the first semester
year, 346 students enrolled for
this
work in the various colleges. Thus
it is not unlikely that a parallel
rise in enrollment figures will be
shown this semester.
A total of 3,218 students had, registered at the end of the third day
for the second semester of 1937-3only 33 more than the present figures for the third day's enrollment
this term.
Since the school year of 1934-3- 5
the enrollment of the University has
been gradually and steadily rising.
The depression proved a, serious
handicap to the University when
enrollment figures dropped 800 in

and many others.
The bureau is able to boast that
of all the slides, charts, photastats,
and books which have been loaned,
not a single copy has ever been lost.
Over half of the clubs in Kentucky
are now using the programs which
contain a series of eight studies on
one particular subject. These programs have been arranged by members of the University staff.
One of the most important features of the bureau is its ever increasing scope. Just recently completed is a two year survey of art
work in Kentucky in which more
than 10.000 information blanks were
mailed all over Kentucky, asking for
a list of art treasures owned by the
various families.
Over 6.000 of these blanks were
filled in and returned to the University, bringing to light many valuable works of art and literature
which were previously unknown or
thought lest. It is expected that
the results of this survey will be
published in a book which Prof.
IR. W. Rannells, head of the Uni- versity art department will edit.

During the first semester of this
school year when the all time high
enrollment record was broken by
a margin of 79, forty-throf the
forty-eigstates, and two foreign
countries were represented in the
student body. New York led the
out of state enrollment with 116
students for 'the first semester. Fayette county led the other 119 counties in representative enrollment.

he following letter was received yesterday
from Douglas Smith, editor of The Arkansas
Tia:vler, University of Arkansas publication:
"I have just been reading a recent issue of
our paper containing a discussion of the freshman cap problem, and it occurred 10 me that you
might 1)0 interested in knowing what happened
jin that practice here.
"Arkansas was for many years notorious for
iis haing. and a story of one of our fraternity
iniiiaiions made Esquire only two or three
c.Hs ago. Not only were freshmen required to
wear green caps, but there was a 'discipline committee' the memliers of which had the authority
freshmen with boards for any violato
tion of the manv 'freshman rules.' As usual, the
tradition became dominated by the
tough guys.
"Widespread resentment, together with what
:1 like to think was a more intelligent student
bolv. created passive resistance among the fresh- Inien which grew rapidly. Two years ago the
"freshman hike,' the nature of which I leave to
.vour imagination, was voted down and the num-Ix-- r
of green caps at that time amounted to less
it ban a hundred. This year there has been no hazing of freshmen whatever. In addition, the editorial policv of the paper has been toward complete alioliiion of hazing including that in frapep groups. We
ternities as well as in
have made a great deal of progress.
'
"I am informed that having has practically
T

bo-om- e

thing of the past in the entire Southexcept, of course, in the fresh water cola

leges."
Because voting on the question of wearing
freshman taps is scheduled for February 16, it
seems that there should be some discussion of
the question in these columns and among the
students before that time.
Tut KtRvri.'s policy in regard to hazing is
definitely against the practice. However, on this

.pareVular question, whatever the students
will The KirnA. support.
idj? do-tlKw is printed a letter which expresses the
jersonal opinions of The Kfrni.l editor:
:
"On the University of Kentucky campus, there
has also been a marked decrease in haring within
the last few years, but we can't agree that the
'.practice of wearing freshman caps comes under
:the category of hazing. Particularly is that true
Vn this campus where there is no 'discipline
committee which enforces freshman rules with
a hoard.
"Haing necessarily implies harshness, and
we can't see that a freshman cap works any hardships on the wearer, especially when the rule is
enforced by student sentiment rather than
tough guys. If the rule is allowed to continue, and it does not have the support of a
majority of the students, then it will fall into
the hands of these toughies and the result will be
it martvred complex among the freshmen.
"If, on the other hand, the majority of students feel as I do, that the freshman cap establishes a kind of common bond letween the lower- lassmen, that it creates and furthers a certain
amount of school spirit resulting from the friendly rivalry, that it is something to keep and prize
a one would his high school diploma, then a
'discipline committee' would be as useless as it
would be harmful. Perhaps this is mere "dribble"
or tank sentimentality either of which is pretty
much in disrepute at the present time but we
still think a certain amount is necessary for a
'
student."
