The subscription contest staged by
the Kentuckian staff for which cash
prizes and copies of the annual will
be awarded the winners is progressing
well. Several prominent students of
the University have entered as contestants and the Kentuckian editors
thru the kindness of the Kernel, take
this opportunity to give the rules governing the contest and to state that it
Is open to all students of the University.
The student who gets the largest
number of subscriptions for the annual will receive fifteen dollars in
cash, the ono who obtains the next
largest number will receive ten dollars in cash. The third prize is a copy
of the 1918 Kentuckian. The business
staff of the annual announces that 350
or more copies must be sold during the
contest. However there are usually
400 to 500 copies sold each year and
it is believed that more than 600 copies
will be sold this year, because the 1919
Kentuckian surpasses in general makeup and quality any annual produced
by the Senior class of the University.
The 1919 Kentuckian will be bound
in grained leather with a
cover. The features of the Year Book
in the hands of Eliza M. Piggott and'
an efficient staff promises to be uniquely interesting.
The prizes given this year are large
enough to assure interest and competition in the contest. A member of
the staff discussing the prospects of
the Annual with a member of the
faculty was told that during ten years'
connection with the University the professor had never been asked to buy an
Annual. He has bought one every year
because he is as interested in the Annual as any student on the campus,
but no campaigners or contestants
have ever asked him to subscribe. His
case may be representative of the entire faculty. With 107 members of
the faculty and a student enrollment
of 750, a large number of subscriptions
may be secured. "A hint to the wise is
sufficient."

KINNEY GRAVE
IS SENT HOME
Mrs. Nola E. Miller recently received
a letter from Captain Powell of the
ninety-nintAero Squadron, verifying
the announcement of tho death of her
son, Lt. Howard Kinne, and containing
a map showing the location of his
grave near Romange. Altho Mrs.
Kinne had been notified of her son's
death, she had still hoped that the report was a mistake until she received
the letter.
Lt. Kinne was a former student of
the University and especially prominent in football. He will be remembered by all who saw him for the
touchdown he made in the Purdue
game nearly four years ago. He was a
member of A. T. O. fraternity.

The poet, Vachol Lindsay, will lecture in the University chapel Thursday afternoon at 3:30 under the auspices of the English Club. The public
is invited and there will be no charge
for admittance.
In the opinion of Professor Phelps of
Yale, Mr. Lindsay Is the foremost
American poet, and will probably create a new school of poetry. In his lecture Thursday, Mr. Lindsay will read
from his poetry and explain his theory.
He is touring the Southwest and has
been well received by University audiences.

DESIGN

IS

WANTED

With Gus Gay, Emery Frazler and
Lucy Young in the leading roles, rehearsals of "Under Cover," have been
gaining snap since the announcement
of the tentative cast Friday afternoon.
Gus Gay, who has the part of Stephen Denby, was the leading man of last
year's play, "Mice and Men," and will
also be remembered in the part of Jefferson Rider in "The Lion and the
Mouse."
He was a member of the
Soldier Players, of Camp Taylor during the summer season.
Emery Frazier, by many considered
the Strollers' most promising dramatic
find, is cast as Daniel Taylor, a deputy
in the Customs. Frazier was the leading man in "Father and the Boys," and
"The Lion and the Mouse."
Tho Lucy Young is a new comer in
Stroller productions, she is handling
the difficult role of Ethel Cartwrlght
very creditably.
A cover design for the program is
wanted, a prize of two orchestra seats
being offered for the best
design presented. Since the play will
be presented about May 1, all posters
submitted should be in the hands of
Stage Manager Creech within the next
two weeks. Mr. Carroll M. Sax, who
is to coach the cast for the last ten
days will arrive in Lexington, April 20.
