According to an established custom of the university, Hallowe'en
night, or "Amateur Night," as it is
catalogued in the annals of the school,
will be converted into a veritable
evening of mirth and amusement for
the students.
Amateur Night is in reality "Stroller Night," when the dramatic club
of the university, after having held

three best plays of the many submitted for entrance.

ENFORCE THE RULES
The Men's Student Council makes
the announcement that the rules for
freshmen, which have been posted,
will be rigidly enforced.
Surprise
was expressed by some upper classmen that they themselves are responsible for the enforcement of the

freshman rules.
Every freshman is required to wear
his cap at all times. He is required
to obey all the rules posted by the
Men's Student Council.
It is the duty of all upper classmen
to report the infringement of rules
violated by freshmen. These reports
should be made to the president or
other member of the Council. This
body will take such action as it may
deem proper in the enforcement of
rules.

The 1921 Homecoming Day of the
University of Kentucky bids fair to
surpass by far any such day of the
past. The entertainments for this
day will include open house at the
new gym, a luncheon at the Phoenix
hotel for the alumni and students of
the college of law. In the afternoon
will be held the dedication and pres
entation of the new football stadium
and later the game between the Blue
and White warriors of Kentucky and
the
sons of Old Centre.
Immediately after the game, a dinner
dance will bo held in the gym, at
which both teams will be guests. All
these attractions are being exerted
to bring back the old students

The luncheon of the law alumni and
students is to be well attended, according to Dean Turck. The committee sent out letters to the alumni
and the response has been good.
There are now about three hundred
alumni scattered throughout the state
and judging from the response to tho
letters sent out, at least half that
number will be in attendance at the
banquet. Among those who have accepted are: H. S. Gruen, J. K. Hayles,
