University Plans Several Sightseeing Trips of Interest
for Students
Students will have an exceptional
schedule of 200 courses offered in six
colleges to which to accommodate
themselves in the summer session this
year. The program has been made
out to meet the needs of teachers in
both public and private high and
grade schools in junior colleges, city
and county superintendents, persons
desiring training for Y. M. C. A.,
Y. W. C. A. and social welfare service,
and normal school and college teachers, as well as undergraduates in agriculture, arts and sciences, commerce, education, engineering and law
who wish to shorten the period of
their college courses.
The normal load which the average
student will be allowed to carry is
G semester hours for each term, but
those presenting a standing of 2 or
better will be allowed a maximum
of 13 hours during the two terms.
Unusual Courses
Several courses of unusual interest
will be offered notable among which
is the one listed as Education 19a.
This course will consist of the study
of the life and work of some
who have achieved prominence. This is the first time such a
one has ever been scheduled here,
and it will le taught by 24 different
men and women on different days.
Plans are also under way for a
summer coaching school, which is to
be a short intensive program for football and basketball. It will be conducted by Coach Harry Gamage, of
the University, and Coach J. Craig
Ruby, of the University of Illinois,
and should prove a drawing card to
high school athletic directors.
The residence halls will be open at
reasonable rates and the University
cafeteria will serve meals. The opportunities offered for recreation are
many and varied. Lexington is overflowing with places of historic interest and scenic beauty and the University is planning a series of trips
for the summer school students in
order to give them the chance to become better acquainted witht the
Blue Grass section and learn to know
its wealth of attractions.
The students will also be the guests
of the University at the Redpath
chautauqua which will be in Lexington from July 3 to 10.

The time of the concert by the Ohio
State Girls' Glee Club, to be presented
in the Men's gymnasium Saturday
evening, has been moved up to 7:30
o'clock instead of 8:15 o'clock, as previously announced, according to Margaret Gooch, president of the University Girls' Glee Club, sponsoring the
Ohio organization's appearance. The
change in time was necessitated by
the Stroller dance to be given immediately following the concert.
The Ohio State club, of 35 voices,
is reported to have one of the best
vocal assemblages of its kind in the
country, arid while the exact nature
of the program which it will present
is not known, it is expected, to establish a standard of excellence for contemporary clubs to aim for. Tickets
for the attraction may be procured
from any local club member for 50
cents, half of each admission fee being used to defray the cost of the
Ohio club's trip, and the remander is
to be used to enable the local club
to sing a reciprocal engagement in
Columbus, Ohio, in May.
Marie Flora, chosen as hostess to
the Ohio girls during their stay here,
has not completed arrangements for
their entertainment as yet, however
the girls' dormitories have been selected as their dating location while
upon the campus, Miss Flora announces.

On account of the spring racing
meet opening in Lexington Saturday,
the baseball game between Kentucky
and Eastern Normal which was supposed to have been played on Stoll
field diamond, will be played instead
at Richmond where a larger crowd is
expected to attend. Both teams have
about the sajne standing in Kentucky
so far this season, as they have both
defeated Centre.
Saturday, Coach Major may send
his star
Rhoads, to the
mound against the Richmond sluggers. This sophomore twirler pitched a shut out game against Centre
last week and has been improving
continually since the opening game
with Ohio State on Stoll Field three
weeks ago. His brother, the
Rhoads, has been hovering
around the bench for the last three
or four days with a very purple ankle
which received a hard blow by a ball
from the bat of one of the players in
practice last week, and he is not ex
pected to play again for quite a while.
He had been playing in right field for
the 'Cats and his place will be taken,
probably, by Franceway or Mauser,
which will depend on the recovery of
Dutch Layman, who is complaining
of a very bad throwing arm. Dutch
is accustomed to cavort around the
lot in center field and if he is unable
to play, his place will be taken by
Mauser and Franceway will go to
right field.
The choice of pitchers will be de
termined by the number of
d
ed batters on the Richmond team. If
they are few in number, Wert will be
used probably" in place of Rhoads.
Lefty McGary is also coming into
form gradually and he is expected to
receive a call to the mound before
many more games are played. Sid
Goodwin, the ace of the catching staff,
is due to receive the call for back
stop honors Saturday. This former
Colonelite from the Louisville team
has a very noticeable way of inspir
ing pitchers to their best efforts, as
his performance against Centre Saturday clearly indicates. Centre got
very few hits and no runs at all. It

blocks the home plate and tags his

The infield reading from left to

men from Eastern Normal, notwith
standing the fact that Eastern

them no hits, and defeated Centre
