No Negroes

-

University officials said Thursday
that no application for admission
has been made by Negroes although
James A. Crumlin, president of the
Louisville branch of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored Peoples, said that a Negro
girl would seek admission to the

College of Law.
President H. L. Donovan said he
had "no comment" on press dispatches telling of the Negro stu
dents plans to seek admission to
the University.
Last week the Supreme Court
ruled that Oklahoma must admit a
Negro girl who seeks entrance to its
state university law school or pro
vide equal facilities for her.
According to press dispatches,
Crumlin said he believed the provision of the Kentucky Constitution
providing that "separate schools for
white and colored children shall be
maintained" would not bar Negroes
seeking admission to professional or
graduate schools.
Campus
commentators pointed
out that if application is made by
Negroes it will probably be for the
professional courses inasmuch as the
state provides an accredited liberal
arts college for Negroes.
Since the Court's decision, representatives of a number of southern
states have discussed the possibility
of establishing a regional university
for all Negroes in the South. This
institution would be supported by
states taking part in establishing
the university.
Dr. Donovan said that as far as
he knew, Kentucky has not made

A meeting of the Committee of
100 with the visiting religious lead
ers in the Student Union building
tomorrow will begin the University's
annual Religious Emphasis Week
program which continues through

January

30.

Designed to stimulate student in
terest in religion, the
inational program of emphasis on
faith is being sponsored by the
Council in cooperation with
the University Christian Mission of
the Federal Council of Churches
(Protestant), Covington Diocese
(Catholic). Jewish Chataqua (Jewish), and the Christian Science
Committee (Christian Science).
Larry Fleisher, president of Tnter- faith Council, has announced that
the program for the coming week
feature forums, seminars, per-- 1
sonal conferences
and classroom
visits conducted by ten religious
leaders of the several faiths.
Wendell Poundstone, in charge of
the program, called particular attention to the Fundamentals Series,
meetings to be
which are
held at 5:00 p.m. Monday through
Thursday in the Music Room of the
Student Union. Representatives of
the different faiths will explain the
source and meaning of their beliefs. Open to the public these
sessions will attempt to clarify the
significance of the various doctrines
in the world of religion.
The theme of the week, however,
will be "The Challenge of Religion,"
Poundstone said. Keynote question
to be emphasized will be: "Is religion only something for Sunday?"
Executive Committee chairman Ann
Odor stated that the program has
been designed to "help students develop a workable, personal, religious
philosophy of living."
Seminars will be conducted at 4:00
p.m. daily, Monday through Thursday. Students will discuss problems
ranging from the subject of one
world to courtship.
Sponsors of the week have arranged to hold open public meetings each evening, Sunday through
Thursday, at which nationally
known leaders of all faiths will be
the principal speakers.
Opening the series will be Dr.
Herrick B. Young, executive secretary of the Presbyterian Board of
Foreign Missions. His talk at 7:30
p.m., Sunday, in Memorial Hall, will
be entitled, "The Christian Challenge to World Confusion."

Dr. James S. McHargue. head of
the department of research chemistry at the University Agricultural
Experiment Station, whose change
of occupation has been approved by
the Board of Trustees, is perhaps
the most widely known man to serve
on the staff of the University. He
is internationally famous for his
research investigations in the role
of minor elements in soils and in
plant and animal life.
Dr. McHargue began his investigations more than 40 years ago while
still a student at the University.
He pioneered in research work on
the importance of iodine, manganese, copper, zinc, cobalt, nickel, and
other chemical elements in the
growth of plants and the metabolism of animals.
A native of Laurel county. Dr.
Mc Hague was graduated from ths
University in 1906 with a major in
chemistry. As a student and for a
time after graduation he worked in
the laboratories of Dr. A. M. Peter,
e
head of the department
of research chemistry, now retired.
He wa later associated with the
Bureau of Standards in Washington,
then carried on research investigations in the Hygienic Laboratory
in Washington under the supervision of Dr. J. H. Kastle, who later
became director of the University
long-tim-

experiment station.
In 1907 Dr. McHargue returned
to the University to work under
Dr. Peter as chemist for the Kentucky Geological Survey. In 1912 he
was transferred to the department
of research chemistry as research
chemist. He became head of the department when Dr. Peter retired in

Message from the President:
We of the University of Kentucky are indeed pleased that
our campus has been selected by
the Federal Council of Churches of America for
in the observance of Religious
Emphasis Week, January 24 to
January 30. It is a pleasure to
welcome the outstanding religious leaders who will be here as
speakers for this occasion. It is
our hope that the faculty and
students will manifest their interest by their wholehearted

Dr. McHargue received the M.S.
degree in chemistry from the University in 1913 and the doctorate
from Cornell University in 1921.
His extensive Investigations and
writings have brought Dr. McHargue
recognition throughout the scientific
world. An article in a scientific
magazine, published in 1940, said:
"Undoubtedly, the work that led to
the finding, in Florida. Australia.
England, and Holland, that deficiency of cepper in the soil may seriously affect the health of livestock,

in September, 1945. He received his
bachelor of arts degree at Wake

of philosophy degrees later at th?

Athletic Program
Undoubtedy one of Dr. Wall's most
important functions for the dorms
is that of athletic director for the
430 men.
The boys here have a limited
amount of physical activity". Dr.
Wall relates, "and since they are
forbidden to break the furniture in
their rooms, knock down the doors
with their shoulders, and engage
in fisticuffs, we try to arrange other
forms of exercise. We have organized
intramural football. softbaU and
basketball teams and are planning
to get up a dorm bowling and a
wrestling
team in the school's
athletic program, if enough interest
is shown here."
In the past, response to the various
sports teams of the dormitories have
been encouraging. Last spring, over
