CONNELL,

University officials and students join with the people of Lexington in welcoming the high school basketball teams from over the state as their guests this weekend. For many of the visiting students this will be an
experience which they will long remember and it is the
desire of those who are in charge of the program being
arranged for their entertainment that it will be both a
pleasant and profitable visit.
It is noteworthy that in the ten years during which
this state meet has been an annual function the number
of teams in attendance has grown from nine to thirty-twwhich is the number competing this year. Interest
among the student body and townspeople has also grown
and unusually large crowds have attended all the games
held yesterday and which will continue through today
and tomorrow, with the final game, which will decide
the title winner, being played Saturday night.
This tournament will be watched with interest
throughout the entire state and is commendable as a
means of stimulating interest in athletics in the vaThe University must depend

on these high schools for their future defenders of Kentucky's athletic standing and it is as much to our own
interest to give the visitors a cordial reception as it is
a pleasure. Here is a chance for every student to help
support the, University by doing everything to make
these future college men and women want to make this
their school.

YOUTH AND RELIGION
"Modern youth is not Godless, but nearer the truth
about religion than any other generation," asserts Dr.
Clarence C. Little, President of the University of Michigan, thus definitely placing himself in sympathy with
the younger generation. He adds, however, that youth
has its religious problems, but they are not of their
making and, according to Dr. Little, it is not being aided
greatly by the adult generation in solving them.
Further, Dr. Little believes that youth cannot be ex
pected to listen to a church that tolerates medieval concepts of intolerance, such as the doctrine "You must
think as I think."
Evening Dispatch commenting on
The Columbus
Dr. Little's statement, says, "It is refreshing to hear
from a man who not only has retained his faith in the
rising generation, but who is in a position to know
A little more and Dr. Little's attitude and the 'revolt
of youth' will die of inertia."
The Camden Post, commenting on the same statement, observes, "Unquestionably( the youth of today
is thinking more definitely than did the youth of a
generation ago. And youth's thinking on religion is
just as logical as it is on other subjects." Probably the
only difference in the generation is that the youth of
today' is more alert than the youth of yesterday. It
wants to be shown.
Precisely, the youth bf today wants to be shown, and
it wants reason, not sentiment. Unquestionably the
youth of today, to use a slang expression, is "hard
boiled."
But it can be, even so, on occasion, as tenIt all depends on the

As to the results of the election they indicate little

the students are incapable, apparently, of independent

At the University of New Hampshire the inhabitants of the different
dormitories have a novel agreement
among themselves. The dormitory
having the lowest scholastic standing
at the end of te term is to "pull" a
dance for the dormitory having the
highest scholastic standing. This
novel contest promises to make studies interesting to the student who is
less inclined to be the goat. We pity

Student government at the University of Wisconsin is no more. The
faculty has accepted the
student senate's recommendation that
its character be considered defunct,
and thereby has seconded the opinion
of student leaders that there is no
reason for maintain an unimportant
and unnecessary institution. Since
1916 the men's student senate has
been the highest council in student
affairs. In October the members voted to disband,
