Practically every seat was occupied
and much enthusiasm was shown on
the part of members of the student
body and faculty. This was especially
evident when, at the close of his adn
dress, Dr. McVey introduced Miss
Kimrall and the students re
sponded with cheers and clapping of
hands. One of the features of the program was a violin solo, a selection
from II Trovatore, delightfully rendered by Professor Carl Lampert, accompanied by Mrs. Lampert.
Dr. McVey's talk was on the subject
of University problems in their relation to national life. He stated that
the opening of the college year is always of great moment to the student
because the inspiration and hope
which impels him at 'that time must
jjarry him through if he Is to have a
successful collegiate career. According to the speaker, the University requires only two things of its students
that they be first, gentlemen and
ladies, and second, conscientious
workers.
Without denying the importance of
outside interests, he stressed the fact
that the real purpose of the Unlver-slis to train the mind to do the
work which is required of the college
graduate. This aim can be reached
only when the student applies himself
to his college work.
"It is tho responsibility of colleges
to epable the graduate to apply a
trained mind with a high conscience
to the problems with which he is confronted in life," said Dr. McVey. "Hero
opportunities are offered, to come in
touch with the highest ideals in the
world, and to make friendships such
as may never be made again."

especially essential. It is the president's desire that a system of student

The total enrollment of students in

went to press was 9G2, a number

the 1,000 mark. On tho first two days
of registration,
crowds of students
thronged about the registration desks

busy arranging schedules.
Seven disabled soldiers enrolled at
the University Monday under the provisions of the Federal Board of Vocational, which supervises the education
of the men. Between thirty and forty
men disabled in the service will probably be trained at the University at
government expense this year. T. J.
North, special agent of the board for'
District 7, said that approximately 700
men in the district, which comprises
Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio, had been
placed in schools, and that many more
would come to the University.
"The soldiers are allowed to choose
the course of training they wish to pursue, and are then sent to the institutions where they will have the best instruction in those courses," Mr. North
said. "The University of Kentucky has

Tho Kernel begins Its work for the
year with an eight page edition this
weCk. The opening of the University
found several members of the old staff
hack on the Job and numerous promising freshmen and "old faithfuls" who
found their way back to the Kernel
office were pressed Into service to
make this issue a good forerunner of
'
tho year's work.
Owing to the fact that the staff is
still incomplete, it is the plan of the
editors to devote the first few weeks
to filling those places which are still
vucant. An opportunity will be given
to any newcomers at the University
or any others whose journalistic talent
has not yet come under the notice of
the department, to demonstrate their
ability to hold a place on the college
paper. Selections for the staff will
be made of those who submit the most
promising work. Assignments will be
given to those who apply at the Kernel
office, in the basement of the Admin- lstration Building Saturday morning.
Besides the positions of
managing editor and assistant
managing editor, which are held by
Gavin Norment, Miss Louise Will and
P,ob Raible, respectively, only two appointments have been made. Donald
Dinning wil lbe sporting editor and
Mr. Herndon Evans, Squirrel Food
editor.
Dinning's admirable work on the
staff last year led to his early appointment this year. He will have
complete charge of the sporting page
this year, with the help of students
who will be chosen with the rest of
tho staff.
Mr. Evans returns to the University
after an absence of two years. He will
be a junior in the Department of Journalism.
Two other members of last year's
staff, Adele Slade and Margaret
who were contributors to this
week's issue, will be on the staff, but
their exact places have not yet been
determined.

Kentucky as a tribute to those who
gave their lives in the war with Germany have been raised to the extent
of about half the amount needed, not
counting the result of the efforts of
the alumni of the University of Kentucky and former Kentuckians in other
States, according to the information
received by the campaign manager,
Prof. W. E. Freeman, of the University.
Many of the counties neglected to
start their campaign last Monday and
many others will hold their drive this
week. One county is definitely known
to have gone over the top. General E.
II. Woods, of Allen county, wired Professor Freeman that Allen county had
pledged $1,400 and would give more.
Allen's quota was $1,000. Louisville
raised a little over half of her $00,000
quota.
Kentucky mine operators have man- ifested an interest in the movement
and Professor Freeman said that W.
A. Duncan, of Greenville, would be in
charge of the drive among the oper
ators of Western Kentucky and that
K. U. Maguire, of Louisville, would
tako charge of the Eastern Kentucky
district for this work.
In New York, Howard Ingels, an
alumnus of the University ,ls active
among his fellow nlumnl and former
Kentuckians of wealth, whether alumni or not, and W. L. Burnaugh is
chairman of n similar movement in
Chicago.
