Tonight at 8 o'clock in Room 111
of McVey hall the University of
Kentucky and Northwestern University will engage in debate on the
question: Are National Chain Stores
a Menace to This Community? The
University debating team, composed
of Sydney Schell and Hugh Jackson, has the affirmative
of the
question, while the Northwetsern
team composed of William C. Wines
and Richard Peterson, has the negative.
According to Prof. Sutherland,
University debate coach, this debate will be one of the most impor
tant held on the campus this year.
"It is particularly important because of the current interest manifest in the question, not only by
economists, but the people of the
commercial world as well."
Stenographers will be present and
the speeches will be taken down in
shorthand.
After corrections have
been made the speeches will be published in a bulletin which is issued
by the extension department, and
distributed to the various high
schools throughout the state. The
same question will be used by the
high schools of twelve states in their
debating activities next year, Mr.
Sutherland said today.

instead of the program usually followed by the University was made
yesterday by the committee on examinations. This committee was
appointed several months ago by
the University Senate to invest!
gate the best method of giving ex
animations in order to save the
most time.
Final examinations for freshmen,
sophomores and juniors will be held
1,
during the week of May
while examinations for seniors will
be held a week earlier. The advan
tage of this recently adopted meth
od, according to officials of the
University, is that much time will
be saved. They had feared that
there would not be enough time
between the regular term and the
first term of summer school for
Junior Week and for certain improvements which are to be made
on the campus.
This method of giving examinations was first tried the spring semester of last year, and met with
much unfavorable comment from
the student body. According to reports, however, this year will be the
last time this method will be used,
due to official action of the Uni
versity Senate.

Friday, May 2, official "May Day"
of the University, has been chosen
by Editor Virgil Couch for the official distribution of the 1930 Kentuckian, at which time members of
the graduating class and others who
have ordered books may, obtain their
copy of the outstanding college annual in the South. Bound in a
most attractive cover of genuine
black walrus, it presents an appearance which promises much within
its covers, and this promise is more
than fulfilled as one goes through
Its contents.
The art of the annual represents
the spirit that led the men of America through the World War.
Scenes of the University campus
are such that they are fully representative of the beauty of the institution.
This year, for the first time ever,
the picture of President McVey is
done In charcoal. This is the highest honor that can be awarded a
person through the medium of engraving. The pages which bear the
pictures of the deans are well balanced, with an individual picture "of
each dean and the entrance to his
office.

Probably the outstanding feature
of the book is the section which
contains full page illustrations and

In Detail Conditions of

Speaking at the general convocation of University students at 10
o'clock Wednesday morning
in
Memorial hall, and taking as his
topic "The Operations of March 21,
1918," Col. O. P. Robinson, professor of Military Science and Tactics
at the University of Indiana, presented an interesting discussion and
a vivid portrayal of conditions existing at, what he termed, the
"turning point of the World War."
He stressed the necessity for pre
paredness, and suggested a medium
between the two extremes of prep
aration on the part of Germany
and unpreparedness on the part of
the United States at the outbreak
of the last war.
The Somme drive of March 21,
1918, was the biggest and the final
offensive drive made by the Germans. Illustrating his discussion by
various maps of the war area, Col.
Robinson pointed out the steps given in the following historical synopsis: "The first and heaviest blow
fell to the right of the British army
and at the right Junction between
the French and the British. It was
launched March 21 on a front of SO
miles, and continued until April 6."
In, concluding his address CoL
Robinson expressed 'his belief that
an army should be maintained by
the United States, not reaching the
extreme in preparedness such as
Germany boasted, but lying somewhere in the midpoint between the
great preparation of Germany and
the great unpreparedness of the
United States at the beginning of
the World War.
Col. Robinson Is the author
of
"Fundamentals of Military Strat
egy."

Miss Hazel Virginia Baucom, of Lexington, a junior
in the College of Education

and a member of the Alpha
Gamma Dlta sorority, was
elected Queen of the May for
1930 yesterday by the men
students of the (University.
Approximately one - half of
the student body cast votes
in the election, markiner one
of the heaviest ballots polled
in years at campus elections.

Miss Baucom will be crowned
Queen of the May on May 2. at
which time the University will hold
its annual celebration of the advent of the month of flowers and
fair weather. On that day she will
ride at the head of a mammoth procession through the streets of Lexington, her native city, and will be
formally crowned with beautiful
ceremony on the campus proper.
Miss Kathleen Fitch, also of Lexington, a senior in the College of
Arts and Sciences, a member of the
Kappa Delta social sorority, receiv- el the second highest vote in yesterday's election, and as a result
will be maid of honor to Miss Baucom when she is made Queen of
the May. Miss Fitch will be remembered as the first Junior Prom
queen at the University of Kentucky, she having been elected to
that post last year at the first prom
queen election here.
Misses Katherine Davis, of Lexof Richington; Betsy Bennett,
mond, K?.; Mary Armstrnog, of
Lexington, and Mary Sidney Hobson, of Ashland, Ky., were chosen
attendants to the ueen for the ceremonies at the annual festivities.
They ranked in the vote poll in the
order named above.
An unusual feature entered the
election when it was discovered
that four of the girls honored in
yesterday's contest are residents of
Lexington. It is expected that this
