AGAIN

Kentucky exhibited
her prowess
once more in that one of many arts
through which she has been made
when the University
of Kentucky won the championship of
the South in the first annual contest
of the Southern League in the University chapel, Friday night. Clifford E.
Smith represented the University of
Kentucky, speaking on "The Shantung Question."
Wllllm H. Bobbitt, University of
North Carolina, came second in the
contest, and George Goetz, Johns Hopkins University, finished third. Their
subjects were respectfully, "The Present Crisis in American Democracy,"
and 'Radicalism and Free Speech."
Others who competed were: Dewey
Wnltnell, Vanderbllt University, "Our
Unloyal People"; Meyer Lovenstein,
University of Virginia, "The Alternative to Bolshevism"; "Radicalism and
Free Speech"; William McCall, Uni- verslty of Alabama, "The College
Man's Opportunities."
Smith first covered himself with
glory when he won the State championship last Monday night over rep- resentatives from five other Kentucky
colleges. He will next represent the
State in a contest with the winners of
the contests in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin to be
held April 7. At a later date he will
be the Kentucky representative in a
contest with North and South Dakota,
Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri.
The contest was delayed because of
the late arrival of one of the contestants and was not over until after midnight. The judges who rendered the
decision were Professor B. C. Van
Wye, University of Cincinnati; Professor H. S. Woodward, Western Reserve University, Cleveland, and Professor C. H. Thurber, Purdue University.
Much of the good work accomplish-ein these oratorical contests has
been due to the diligence and inter-eaexhibited by Professor Mabie, who

t'

last week's issuo of the Kernel
several of the artists of the Univered in

'

sity are preparing drawings to be submitted in the contest for the best design for the Stroller program. This
contest, which is conducted each year
by tho Strollers, has always created
interest and many students have
shown their interest by submitting
designs.
Besides the natural desire of the
s
students to aid all University
there is the added inducement
in this contest of two of the best
seats in the Opera House to the artist who submits the best design. It
is to be remembered that these drawings must be in the hands of the committee before the end of next week
and those who are contemplating entering a design should lose no time in
putting it into shape.
Information regarding the contest
can be obtained from Emery Frazie:
or any member of the cast of "The
Climbers." The committee, composed
of Professor
Enoch Grehan, Emery
Frazler and Horndon Evans, will examine the drawings and announce the
winner at the close of the contest.
The management reserves the right
to keep all drawings submitted.
Plans for the sale of seats are being
made and it 4s probable that all details for the opening will be made
'vithin the next few days. The four
boxes at the Opera House were engaged by different organizations of
tho University
last semester, but
there will be- plenty of available seats.
The management is expecting every
seat to be sold a short time after the
tickets are issued, as Stroller productions are growing In popularity with
each year.
The members of the cast are working night and day, rounding the play
into shape and it can be safely said
from the display of talent that this
will be one of the best amateur performances seen here in years.

In accordance
with the recommendations of the committee the
Athletic Association
who formerly
had control of athletics passes out of
existence and in its place an athletic
council is formed to be appointed by
the President of the University and
to consist of the president, the director of athletics, three faculty
members, two students, and three
citizens of Lexington and Fayette
county either alumni of the University or other men interested in athletics at the University. The terms
of all the members of the council will
be for a period of three years except
those of the students which shall be
of athletics, the president however
for a period of one year.
The council shall have full control
retaining the right to vote. The duties of the council shall be: to be
responsible for the welfare and good
character of athletics at the University; to formulate and direct the
general athletic policy; to promulgate
regulations for the awards of "letters" to the players on the various
teams, football, basketball, baseball
girl's basketball,
men's basketball,
tennis, and track; to pass upon the
eligibility of players, in which case the
student members of the council shall
have no vote; to support high school
tournaments; to take steps to attract
to the University on as many occasions as possible the alumni; and to
establish and provide for the maintenance of a trophy room in which pictures, records of athletic teams and
other trophies of athletic achievement may be kept. The athletic council shall have full charge of providing
proper coaches for the teams and it is
suggested that a football coach of national reputation be procured.
The investigating committee also
recommends to the attention of the
new council the building in the near
future of a concrete stadium; the better equipment of the gymnasium; and
the building of a "K" house in which
the teams may be quartered during
their respective training seasons, and
where they may have their meals at
a training table with strict discipline

The second meeting of the Woman's
League will be held Monday morning,
March 15, during the fifth period, in
the Little Theater. Mrs. F. L. McVey
will speak on the purpose and value of
having such an organization in the
University. Among the important
business matters to be brought up will
be the adoption of a constitution and
the appointmnt of a nominating com
mittee to select the candidates for offices in the League.
The initial meeting of this organiza
tion was held several weeks ago, in a
mass meeting of all the women students of the University, following the
acceptance of a petition which was
submitted to the faculty, stating the
fact that the women of the University
felt the need or an organization of
this kind, which would unify the body
of women students by bringing together the town girls and those living
in the dormitories.
One of the purposes of the League, as suggested at
that meeting, was to bring to the
University certain notable experts on
vocations for women.
The work of organization was begun at that time, by the appointment
of a committee, consisting of Mary
Van Meter and Louise Will, who with
cne other member to be selected by
Ihom, .jvere to write a constitution to
be submitted to the body of women
students at the next meeting. It Js
hoped that officers may be elected at
an early date, in order that the work
of the League may be well under way
before the end of this school year.
Mrs. McVey, who is to be the speaker at this meeting, has obtained by
experience a thorough knowledge of
the work and aims of Woman's
Leagues. Every woman student of the
University is urged to be present Monday morning, at this probably
meeting of the League.

FACULTY

CLUB COMMENDABLE

STEP.

Faculty members are human beings. Startling as this statement may
seem at first glance, to some students, dt is nevertheless true. As such
they have certain inalienable and defensible rights that must bo respected.
One of these rights is that of associating in fellowship with others of like
status. Another is that of thinking his own thoughts and expressing them
on appropriate occasions in his own way.
It is with a view of asserting these fundamental rights of faculty members that certain professors and agents of the University have assembled
and organized a club, to be called Tho University Club. The Kernel takes
pleasure in welcoming this new organization to the campus. We wish it
all success.
If we are not mistaken, it is the purpose of this club to promote friendly relations among the members and to exist as a discussion center for
educational problems of the school and the State. The Kernel cannot
heartily enough commend both these aims. Too long has the university
professor been regarded as either an Intellectual tyrant o ran
encyclopedia. The remark with which we opened this animadversion
was meant in all seriousness, and the tone of flippancy which perhaps
could be found in its expression was merely on the surface. If the stu- dents of the University would taKe the trouble to make a closer acquaint
ance with their instructors than is possible in the classroom, the fine
friendship and broad friendliness which they would surely find, would most
amply repay them.
Professors have homes, on the average of higher quality, both in intellectual tone and in human sympathetic qualities higher than is known by
the average student. Our professors are gentlemen in the finest sense of
that word, ready to meet the student more than half way and give more
than he gets.
But the teacher in a university needs the companionship of minds
commensurate with his own in power and training, and to a deplorable
extent the opportunity to satisfy this need is lacking. In many cases the
circle of acquaintance is restricted to departments or at most, colleges.
This is a serious defect and one which the present effort is intended to cor- rect. It will, if successful, not only increase the joys, few as we conceive
them to be, of a professor's life, but they will at the same time increase
the efficiency of the faculty.
There is also the matter of discussion of educational problems. This
will be the largest field of outside usefulness which this club will be able
to touch. If the men who must meet these problems cannot solve them,
nobody can. Experience and ability and willingness they will bring to
the task, and their opinions should be the weightiest in determining the
action of functional bodies.
With these considerations moving us and a human sympathy warming our hearts to this enterprise, the Kernel again welcomes The University Club to our midst, and wish it full success in all its plans for the
future.

meeting nnd tho plan suggested was adopted. Tho Council which will bo
formed is to bo thoroughly representative, nnd Is to bo composed of cloven
members, Including nlumnl, citizens of Lexington, students, and faculty
members. Council appointments nro entirely In the hnnds of tho President of tho University.
One of tho purposes of tho work hoped to bo accomplished by tho
council Is tho nttninmont of cleaner sports in University athletics, by enforcing rigidly tho rulc3 of tho S. I. A. A., which provide that men must
bo matriculated and in good standing In their classes before they nro eligible to become members of athletic teams.
Tho Kernel recalls with regret, that nt times pernicious nctivlties on
champions of tho University have led to abuse of
tho part of
the rules intended to restrict tho teams exclusively to bona flde students,
and It Is confident that tho activities of this Council will mako It impossible
for tho University to bo open to criticism on this score hereafter.
Included in the plans Is also a cnnvnss of tho high schools of tho State
for the purpose of Interesting 'In tho University young men of athletic
prowess, not merely to become athletes, but most of all, to become students
of tho University.
Altogether, the Council is authorized to do all In its
power to promote the general welfare and good standing of tho athletic
activities of the University, nnd thus to bring this phase of tho work to
the place of dlstinctior which it deserves to hold.

BETTER SPORTS.

It Is with extreme gratification that the Kernel calls tho attention of
its readers to the announcement which appears on another page of this
issue of the paper, concerning the complete reorganization of the Athletic
