Athletic Director Bill Carmich ael made that; statement Satur day morning as he described the new lighting system soon to be in stalled on Kyle Field. The six poles and most of the fittings are at the stadium now and installation will begin shortly, Carmichael said. Each of the tubular steel poles will carry 24 lights and will give all of the playing field a lighting power of 60 foot-caiidles.. There will be one pole in line with each of the end zone flags and one at each of the fifty yard line markers. The poles will be mounted on concrete pillars, fif teen feet in height, which will place the actual lights 115 feet above the playing field, Carmich ael said. Free of Stadium Completely free of the stadium, the poles will be based four feet back of the stadium on the ground.

Rehearsals are held each/week night in the Music Hall /it 7:30, Turner concluded. high. “With the lights installed com pletely free of the stadium” Cai'- michael said, “we will be able to use all of the lighting fixtures; except the concrete bases in case of future stadium expansion.” Carmichael wohld not speculate on when any future expansion might take place. "Let’s get the lights up and some football games won first” he said, smiling. In addition to the field lights, each of the poles will have a sin gle spot light on its back side to light the parking areas and ramps. Bigger Crowds Carmichael said he expected a substantial pick up in attendance at the night games among the people who live within a 100 mil*: radius of the college.

By BARRY SMITH Opportunities to study abroad arc nearer at hand than wc might think, according to H. L. Elkina, special assistant to the president. The Slate Department has Issued a bulletin dealing with educational exchange betweenXthe United States and the courtO-ies which have benefited from tke sale ! of surplus war material. By actual 7 agreement/-, these countries yna^e accepted tW sponslbllltj/of' educating gra student/ and paying for resea done A>y American student abroad. Teachers who desire to get/their experience In a foreign country may also take advantage this plan and get paid while] they travel. The entire program is author ized under the Fulbright Act and] is handled by the State Depart/ ment. The original plan was for the student to stay for one year, but Elkins saidj that the stay could be renewed , in the event that aj course was not finished. Two Drawbacks This has all the aspects of being something for nothing, but there are two drawbacks to be consid ered before packing your bag. Jhe student must be able to speak the language of the country j to which he is going as the lectures would otherwise present quite a problem. Secondly, any money paid to the student abroad cannot be converted to American money as none, is available to these, coun tries for that purpose.
