BOTANICAL

GARDEN

TO BEAUTIFY

CAMPUS

Dr. McFarland Authorized
to Use Plot Behind
White Hall
Thnt part of the enmpus between
White Hall and Stoll Field will son
bo a veritable flower garden, with all
kinds of blooming plants, pretty ferns
and grasses, if the plans of the Hotany
Department
materialize.
President
McVoy has authorized Dr. F. L. McFarland, Instructor of botany, to proceed at onco with the work of converting the plot of ground into a
botanical garden.
An interwoven wire fence with iron
posts about 10 inches high will enclose the garden spot excopting one
sido and will be covered with roses.
Honey-sucklwill bo planted to grow
over the high board fence that extends
across one side of Stoll Field and this
will form the other boundry of the
garden.
Half an acre of ground will be devoted to about 2f0 different kinds of
grasses, primarily for research work.
The hill slope where a number of trees
are growing will be converted Into a
fernery and different kinds planted
there. An aquarium will occupy a
space about 25 feet wide and :? feet
deep in the garden and gold fish and
water lilies will bo put in It.
A bed of choice dahlias (named) of
probably 50 different kinds will occupy one place in the garden. Mrs. S.
Thurston Ballard, of Jefferson County,
has contributed 25 to be used in this
bed. The remaining ground will be
laid off in beds 3 by 6 feet for various
llowers, according to their botanical
grouping. A small rustic brigde will
probably be built across the stream
that winds across that part of the
campus and it will add much to the
appearance of the garden.
It is also proposed to convert the
old "sink-holebetween the Agriculture and Old Chemistry buildings into
a wild flower and fern garden. The
Botany Department hopes to transplant about 100 different kinds of ferns
and wild plants there.

For tho last program of the Llttlo
Theatre series Professor Mtkcscll Is
planning a mountain folk lore piny,
to bo presented some time in May.
For this piny arrangements are being mndo to havo ten girls and four
bops come from Berea College to represent the typicnl mountaineer in dress,
in music, as well as In character portrayal. The object is to represent
for the first time a little of tho true
spirit of Kentucky mountain life,
which is fast passing away with the
coming of railroads to the mountain sections.
Such a play is in keeping with tho
true aim of the Little Theatre movement which Is to act as an educational
medium.
Professor Mikcsell Is anxious for the
support of the University students in
this rather strenuous undertaking, and
the cooperation of members of the
Mountain Club Is especially desired.

and nil Intellectual obligations forgotten. Tho collego loafer knows tho
latest dnnco stop, tho latest gossip, nnd
ho has scon tho last thing in vaudeville, enrs, nnd girls. Ho is usunlly a
member of a well known fraternity,
"Loafing Is not a delinquency Inspired by tho possession of money, as
so many would think, but a matter of
temperament. Loafers nro not always
brought up In luxury; they frequently
come from humble surroundings; but
have novor developed any love for
work, no Interest In study nnd seldom
know what they prefer to do. Thoy
havo no vision of the future. Hnm
actor, vaudeville star, engineer, soap
manufacturer, missionary, anything;
Its Just immaterial to him, ho hadn't
thought much about It."
Often our prize subject, has been
"mother's boy." He has had no regular
duties, no tasks, and he has usually
gono on some summer vacation where
ho has loafed around lazily and discontented.
These boys usually start out taking
ono course of study and then shift
and sometimes shift back again.
The loafer always smokes either because he has to have some means to
occupy his time or because ho has
smoked so much it has robbed him of
all his energy sufficient to do anything else. The odor of Fatimns, or
as tho cheap vaudeville actors would
yell, Fatimas' son Omar, lingers with
him. Between dances, on the street,
in his room, his old fraternity brother
Omar yells, "Aroma"!
It is very hard for the loafer to
study for there are so many more
ways to "get by," subtler, cleverer
ways. Copying, putting it off, cramming, "Oil, why should they interfere
with his education?"
Regarding the locals, they may be
seen holding up the front of a well
known drug store, (we've all done it),
or merely standing on Main Street.
"Hello how's the boy?" "Where are
you going' " "Nowhere." "Who are you
waiting for?" "Nobody." What you
doing?" "nothing."

for a pun on the old half loaf is better
than no bread but I've forgotten how
it comes in.
