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

Athletic Association

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

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
maintained.

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.
