The Military Ball has long been
one of the events looked forward to
by students of the University. Since
its Inauguration on the campus
several years ago it has held a position which military officials have
been pleased to call"the outstanding social event of the year". Its
annual association with the anniversary of Washington's birthday,
adds a glamor and an air which no
other social event has been able to
acquire. Plans this year have been
made with an Idea of making the
ball slmlllar to those held at major
military posts on the same occasion.
Ralph Piatt and his
band, the Kentucklans, will furnish
the music for the dance. Striking
decorations have been prepared and
elaborate programs have been selected. Since the ball Is to be given
the night before the Washington

U. K. MAY ANNEX

JUNIOR COLLEGE
State Legislature May Give
The University Power To
Ooerate the John C. C.
Mayo College

Press reports during the past two

weeks have mentioned a bill that
has been introduced in both houses

Legislature,
Kentucky
the
of
authorizing the University to accept
the John C. C. Mayo College plant
at Palntsville as a gift from the
people of that city. Under the proposed bill the plant would be operated In the future as a junior college under the direction of the.
University.
Herald says:
Palntsville
The
"Since the introduction of this bill
great Impetus has been given the
movement by some of the most
prominent political and educational
leaders of Kentucky, both Democrats and Republicans, and it is
confidently believed that the bill
will become a law and that the
junior college will be established at
Palntsville, thus carrying out the
wishes of eastern Kentucky's foremost citizen and founder of the
college, the late CoL John C. C.
Mayo, who spent a small fortune
and much time and thought in an
effort to establish a permanent seat
of learning at Palntsville where
mountain boys and girls too poor
to attend colleges or universities in
larger cities might obtain an edu
cation at home at a minimum cost."
Under the Junior college plan,
students from that part of the state
can obtain an education at a lower
cost than at any other seat of
learning in distant cities, a fact
which should add impetus to education in the mountain districts.
No final action has been taken on
the proposed bill, but supporters
feel confident of its success.
HOLIDAY TOMORROW
The Registrar of the University has officially announced
that all classes will be dismissed
tomorrow In celebration of the
anniversary of George Washington. Students are warned, however, that the customary "one
tenth" will be Imposed upon all
students who cut their last class
before or their first class after
the holiday.

EVIL

KAT WILL

APPEAR TODAY
"Never TehVa Lie Edition'.',
Promises to Be Worst One
In History; All Scandal to
Be Brought to Light
With fierce growls and lusting
mien, the Kampus Kat, scandalous
publication Issued weakly at odd
Intervals by the Sigma Delta Chi
boys, will appear on the campus
sometime today In honor or the
Military Ball and George Washing
ton's birthday.
Edwards Templin, editor of the
expose sneet, declared yesieraay
that the forthcoming edition of the
Kat is expected to be the worst one
In the history of the university, in
as much as all of the news contained In the paper this Issue will be
truth ungarnished with fiction. He
pointed proudly to the slogan of the
Kat for the forthcoming paper, saying that the "never tell a lie edition"
simply means that the truth is going to march proudly across print
ed pages.
There are a number of interest
ing and entertaining articles that
will hit the spot, he said. For instance, there will be the story of
the Sigma but that would be tell
ing the story. Then there Is the
picture of the regimental sponsor
which is expected to prove a strik
ing likeness.
One of the best stories of all, the
editor said, will be that of Barnes
and His Beef Trust Beauties. Mr.
Templin refused to disclose the contents of this story, but he Intimated
that all was not as It should have
been while Barnes was assisting in
the selection of the most beautiful
girl at. the University of Kentucky.
This article is expected to be on a
par with one concerning the annual
high school basketball tournament
here in March, at which several
fascinating innovations are expected to be Introduced.
Every student is expected to pur
chase one of the current issues of the
Kampus Kat, for there is sure to be
something about everyone In the
paper, and the editor has said, that
something is going to be cause for
blackmail.

VIRGINIANS REMEMBER
LAST YEAR'S DEFEAT
Classic Struggle Will Be the
Last One for Kentucky

Until Tourney

By Vernon D. Rooks
The Kcntuck Wildcats will write
"finis" across the 1930 basketball
schudle In the Euclid avenue gymnasium Saturday night at 8 o'clock.
The Generals of Washington and
Lee, second In the Southern Conference and probably one of the
seeded teams in the Atlanta tournament, have accepted the Invitation of Coach Johnny Mauer to attend tho closing ceremonies-an- d
a gala occasion it should be. The
Generals have 10 Conference victories in line and the Big Blue is
anxious to make their nine victories
change to the same number.
Washington
and Lee can be
beaten I The Blue Devils of Duke
University proved as much Wednesday night when they smeared
the undefeated conference record
of the Virginians into oblivion.
Wasnlngton and Lee had previously bowed to West Virginia, 50 to 34,
in a
tilt. But when
you figure that the Generals have
a grand total of 14 wins to their
credit for the seasons work Just
laugh it off.
Should Kentucky lose, there will
be no alibi. George Yates, who has
been warming the bench during a
greater part of the season while
Milward played the pivot, will work
even harder, if this Is possible, than
the rest of the Wildcats. Yates
can Jump, he can shoot, and he's
got the goods.
Coach Mauer will start this
sophomore at center, flanked by
Pisgah Combs and either Louis
or Splcer at the forwards.
Captain Paul McBrayer and Lawrence McGlnnis are capable of dropping monkey wrenches and long
arms and bodies into the working
of the. General's offensive machine.
On Wednesday of next week, 10
Wildcat players, manager, coaches,
trainers, and scribes will board a
train for the southland where the
Big Blue is slated to .be one of the
seeded teams In the annual Southern Conference tournament at Atlanta the last of February and the
first of March.

sturdy qualities of President James
K. Patterson who was responsible
for carrying the University of Kentucky through
its construction

"The Sea" was the formal sail- -.
Ject of Captain Norman's address:
and in a very interesting, instructive and entertaining way he outlined the purpose of the United
States Coast Guard. The sea has
always been a fascinating subject
for the romantlst and Captain Norman gave a delightful talk based on
personal experiences.
