The program for freshman orientation week, while not yet complete,
will be formulated with the idea of
acquainting the uninformed freshman with the University and enable
him to find his way about the campus to his various classes with scant
difficulty.
Freshman Week proper will begin
Thursday, September 11, at 9 a. m.,
at Memorial hall. The freshmen
will be divided Into groups of twenty
or thirty and various faculty members will conduct them about the
campus, showing them the different
buildings and points of Interest.
Students and graduate assistants
are also asked to contribute their
services for this program.
This year it has been planned to
give all freshmen their physical examinations on the first day so as to
determine their fitness for physical

Generally, when the physical examinations are held over until registration time, some considerable
confusion results.
In addition to familiarizing the
students with the University campus, a series of talks will be given
by selected faculty members, designed to inform the freshman on various things that will be of interest
to him. During this time instructions will also be given the fresh
man for registration so as to avoid
the confusion that might otherwise
result because of their unfamlllarity
with the rather complicated system.

Since all the scandalmongers have
departed for greener (and we hope

oDDortunity
for satisfying our in
satible desire for bad news of others. Most everybody seems to lack
the old vim, vigor and vitality to
do more than behave themselves
during the present dry spell.
Our old friend Tom Phipps has

Chairman Legge, of the Federal
farm board, conducted the confer
ence, which was attended by repre
sentatlves of Michigan, Illinois, In

agricultural colleges and U. S. Department of Agriculture economists.
Education in the nation's soft

Chairman Legge as a means of in

source. Dean rnomas p. cooper,
of the College of Agriculture, says
Kentucky's wheat production has

Honor Graduate of Law College Was Active in AH
Student Affairs
Final reports of the August primary election Indicates that Virgil
Chapman, graduate of the University class of 1918, won the nomination for Congressman from this district by a majority of 9,050 votes.
Mr. Chapman was defeated for
Congress last time by the landslide
during the Hoover election.
Chapman was a very prominent
student. while enrolled at the University. He was known as "the boy
orator of the Pennyrile." Graduating from the law school as an honor student In 1918, the Kentuckian
for that year indicates that he was
also the orator of his class.
In campus activities he was very
prominent. He was a staff member
and editor of he Kentucky Law
Journal during his last year in
school. He was a member of the
Y. M. C. A. cabinet and active in
religious work. Other campus activities also claimed his attention.
Chapman was a member of the
Kentucky Kernel staff and also a
member of Alpha Delta Sigma, national honorary professional advertising fraternity. Listed among his
other activities we also find Tau
Kappa Alpha.
After finishing school in 1918, Mr.
Chapman engaged in the active
practice of law and has been very
prominent In politics. His various
interests have never caused him to
forsake the University and he Is an
