Investigation Shows High
Percentage of Students
Earning Expenses
The Investigation
acently completed by the Faculty Loan Commit
tee has brought to light some remark
able and interesting facts in regard to
the earnings of the students of the
University.
The student body has
shown one of the highest percentages
of wage earners of any of the universities of tho country. Of the 90 per
cent, of the student body who filled
out questionnaires sent out by the
committee It was found that out of
400 men students,
63 per cent are
either earning their entire expenses
or earning part of their way through
school. Of this 63 per cent. 27 per
cent, are earning their entire way, 12
per cent, half of all their expenses and
25 per cent, are earning approximately a fourth of their expenses while In
school.
Of those earning money during the
summer and the school term It was
found that 20 per cent earn their en
tire way through school by working
in summer and during the school
term, 22 per cent, earn
s
of
their way and 21 per cent, earn at
least a third of their way.
Statistics given by the women of
the University showed that 22 out of
the 240 girls arc helping in some manner to defray their expenses and of
these 22 five are earning their entire

CENTRE NOT CONVINCING.

It is with extreme astonishment and surprise that such a thing should
be deemed possible of any Kentucky college that the Kernel notes In the
columns of newspapers of recent date, a wholesale indictment of Centre .College, our neighbor Institution, by West Virginia, making charges so disgraceful In their import as to leave forever the stigma of professionalism
on the little Kentucky college, If It does not immediately refute them beyond
the shadow of a doubt.
The charges, made by one Major Earl Smith, a West Virginia University
alumnus, and said to be .the result of investigations made by him, set forth
that "Red" Roberts, of Somerset, Ky., who is well known in this section of
the State, is none than one of tho former Nesser brothers, formerly members
of one of the great professional teams of Ohio, and that his brother, also
investired headed, "plays end or half" on the Centre team. The
gator also claims that McMillan is a professional player known as Scruggs,
and that several other professionals played on the Centre eleven.
Major Smith says the team was brought together by "Moran, coach,
who came from Texas, and Jim Duffee, Columbus, Ohio, sportsman and ref- r
eree," and that the money necessary to hire these men was put up by "race
horse and hotel people of Lexington, that big, sporting Kentucky town."
If the main facts in Major Smith's charges are no more reliable than
the details printed herewith, the whole thing would make an entertaining
fairy story but nothing else.
The writer knows that McMillan and Roberts played on the Somerset
High School football team before entering Centre In 1917, at the time according to Major Smith, that they were playing professional ball in Ohio, and it
is hardly possible they could be in two places at once, except in a fairy story
in which Major Smith seem3 a past master.
The Kernel, a Kentucky publication, wishes to express its sincere hope
and confidence that Centre will at once dispel all such rumors that besmirch
its fair name and bring disgrace upon one of the oldest and most honored
of Kentucky colleges. The charges look at present to 'be merely a
of "sour grapes" of fairly defeated opponents, whose champion
takes this means to bring solace to their wounded vanity and lessen the
sting of defeat by an adversary whom they thought was insignificant; but if
these charges are proved untrue, and the Kernel has every reason to believe
that they will be so proved, no censure would be too great for the one who
brings such accusations against the good name of so venerable an institution as is Centre.
Centre College should at once take steps to brand these charges as false,
and bring down upon the heads of their authors the just rebuke that all
false charges merit, if they be false.
It is exceedingly unfortunate Jthat such controversies should arise
"between educational institutions of high standing, and especially of such
j'Serious nature as this purports to be. No matter how the matter ends, it
should be a lesson and reminder to all who may have at any time in the
future an inclination to air their views of any college through the columns
of the press, to use such caution in their speech as to b.e more convincing
than Centre's accusers seem to have been in the present instance.
