CATS MEET CINCY IN INITIAL NET GAME
STUDENTS' LOAN
FUND IS IN DIRE
NEED OF MONEY
Four Out of Five Applications Are Rejected
$20,000 INLOANS'OUT
Seniors and Juniors Are
to be Given Preference
Duo to a great increase in the
number of applications for loans, and
to the lack of funds available, it will
be more difficult in the future for
students to borrow money from the
Student Loan Fund of the university.
At the present time the entire 18,
000, and in addition $2,000 borrowed
by the Fund committee, is loaned
out. More than 5,000 in notes is
now due and unpaid, and according
Prof. W. S. Webb, chairman of the
committee, it will bo practically impossible to make any more loans until these notes arc paid.
Professor Webb states that it was
necessary to reject four oilt of five
applications made for loans during
the past week due to lack of money.
He stated that in the future very
few loans will be made for more than
50, and preference will be given to
seniors and juniors, men with good
scholastic standing and with a sound
reason for desiring a loan, for there
is only enough in the fund to take
care of the best students and then
only in a very meager way.
Students are asked to help relieve
the situation by refraining from making application for loans .unless it is
absolutely necessary and unless it is
impossible to raise the money through
any other source. If, however, they
still need to apply to the student loan
fund, they are asked by the committee to make applications for as
little as possible.
The student loan fund was founded
seven years ago and since then has
rendered a great service to the student body of the university. Contributions have been secured from
many sources until the fund at present amounts to a total of 18,000,
which, however, is inadequate for the
present demands made upon it. Loans
are made to students for a period of
one year, but the time is frequently
extended. Interest is charged at the
rate of 6 percent per annum.

basketball game Saturday
night. There will be a section of
scats for tho boys and one for the
girls.
Young gentlemen may bring young
ladies to the games but must part
with them at the door and rejoin
them after the game. A girls' cheer
leader has been selected, who will
lead the yelling in tho girls' section,
and a boy will lead it in the boys'
section.
The townspeople will have
a third section and the band will be
seated in front and center of the
three sections.
Tho new plan was suggested by
Coach Applegran after he had seen
it in effect at one of the eastern colleges. He says that the psychology

noise than could otherwise be gotten
out of them.

discussed
the plan with "Daddy"

was decided to put the proposed plan
into effect at once. The Cincinnati
game is the first game of the year

The board of trustees, at their
quarterly meeting held yesterday in
the office of President McVey, faced
many problems and difficulties con
fronting the university and took def
inite steps toward handling them,
It was decided that a private telephone branch Exchange connecting all
departments will be placed on the

Company.

President McVey's report was a
plea for more buildings and for better equipment to care for the increase
of students. Realizing that only 195
girls out of GOO enrolled have access
to dormitory room, the problem of
housing assumes utmost importance.
The total enrollment at present is
2,02G and at the present rate of increase, ten years hence the enrollment will be more than 4,000.
The new football stadium was formally accepted by President McVey
and a report of the building committee was submitted and approved by
the trustees.
D. H. Peak, business agent of the
university, read the financial report
for the quarter and bills for the university were approved.

Game Marks Opening of
Hardest Schedule
in Years
Tomorrow night at 8 o'clock tho
doors of Kentucky's new gymnasium
will bo opened for the first basketball game of the year and the Wildcats will endeavor to calm the fighting Bearcats of the University of
Cincinnati. This will be the first
game for the Blue and White in the
huge building which was completed
after the close of last season, and tho
players are determined to open it
with a victory.
Coach Applegran has a good aggregation which has been practicing
daily and it is going to bo a hard
job for the mentor to make his selections for the first team. Most all

of the players of last year's squad
are back, with several of the '27
freshmen bidding for a berth on the
varsity squad. The team will more
than likely be formed around Captain Jimmy McFarland and Lovell
Underwood at forwards and Will
at center.
Applegran has, for the past week,
been working his men out in secret,
allowing only a few officials to
watch the practice. During his earlier practice sessions he stressed
mostly the fundamentals of the game,
but has now gotten down to real
work. The players have been sent
through stiff scrimmage each afternoon this week, followed by work on
formations, pivoting, turns, both reverse and side, free shooting and
foul shot practice.
The Cincinnati Bearcats are said
to be a crack bunch of net artists and
are sure to make the Wildcats use
their claws freely if they expect to
win. As to wTio will be in the lineup of the 'cat team is a question.
