of Alpha Delta at the
'University has assumed charge of the
girls work at the Duncan Park coinmii- nlty center. At present this work is
somewhat undeveloped but It offers a
wonderful opportunity In the philanthropic field.
The work of the members of this fraternity began Sunday
afternoon with an hour of singing,
playing of games and story telling.
Beginning May 4, these girls will conduct a community service which will
be held every Wednesday evening at
7 o'clock.
Because of the demand, this means
of procuring Interest has been chosen.
Plans are being formed for a program
of activities as will be presented by
the needs of the girls in this community. At present the activities are
largely recreational but as the work
continues other fields of service will be
developed.

The 1921 "Kentuckian" is bound in

the word "Kentuckian" in raised blue

the Spirit of the University, the Spirit

ties, the Spirit of Athletics, etc., Introducing their respective sections.
The Annual contains an interesting
illustrated account of the work of the
Little Theatre, including Professor E.
F. Farquhar's article "The Little Theatre" which appeared in the Theatre
Magazine. The Feature Section contains a minature Kernel, interesting
advertisements, and many other amusing features which will delight the
readers of the "Kentuckian."
But, perhaps, the most outstanding
section of the 1921 "Kentuckian" is
the Popularity Section, which is beautifully finished in colors. All of the
pictures in this section are tinted.
On each page of the "Kentuckian"
there is a blue border. In the upper
left hand corner of each page Is a "21,"
and in the lower right hand corner
appears the stack of the power plant.
One thousand copies of the 1921
"Kentuckian" have been received and
if the few remaining organizations
which have not paid for their space
will do so this week, the "Kentuckians" will be given out from the Stroller room In the basement of the Natural Science Building, Monday, May 9.

At the meeting held in chapel, fifth
period, Tuesday, when plans were discussed for the formation of the Students' Self Government system at the
University, a committee of eleven men
were elected to draw up a constitution for later discussion and adoption
by the student body and faculty of
the University.
Those appointed
were: M. K. Elben, J. H. Taylor, Fred
Houston-Shaw- ,
Herndon Evans, Donald Dinning, Berl Boyd, J. W. Crenshaw, E. A. Swisshelm, R. L. Ringo,
W. S. Anderson and Douglas Vest.
M. K. Eblen, president of the Senior Class, who has recently returned
from attending a conference of university students of the Middle West,
at the University of Missouri, told of
the conference in which all of the colleges represented had the Student Self
Government system installed except
Kentucky and one other university,
and the representatives
from those
two universities were there to gather
information concerning the system.
"The Student Government System"
he said "is distinct from the honor
system although the honor system may
later develop from it. There is to be
a Student Council, composed of a
president,
secretary
and treasurer elected from the student
body, and the Seniors are to have four
representatives, the Juniors, three, the
Sophomores, two and the Freshmen,
one. After the committee meets and
draws up the constitution, we will
know what powers this Council is to
have.
It will probably have complete charge of almost all affairs concerning the student body, including
matters of discipline, social activities,
and supervising of class elections.
Through the Council, campaigns for
raising funds would also be handled
and matters of common interest could
be handled more effectively by the
Student Council. There Is a citizenship in the University .life just as real
and vital as any citizenship in the

Dean Melcher who. has recently attended a conference of university
deans of the Middle West, spoke of
the splendid results of the student
self government systems in those universities and where that subject was
of first importance. The next meeting of the deans of men will be held
here April 2. 1922 and it is also proposed that the conference of student
representatives of self government organizations meet at the same time
here not as a joint meeting, but with
joint sessions.
Deun Melcher suid: "The term.

It is not really
