THE UNIVERSITY AND THE
BOND ISSUE
The Kernel has on several occasions
given voice to editorial comment concerning the proposed bond issue that
is now before the legislative bodies of
the state. The field of comment is
just about exhausted. Still there is one
theory that the writer holds so far as
the University and her welfare are
concerned.
At present all (indications point to
a favoralble vote on the $75,000,000
(bond issue bill. There will be no opposition from the Governor. The real
test of this measure will come when
it is put Ibefore the voters of the state.
Here we are afraid the proposition
will meet with its greatest obstacle.
The present fight against the bill indicates that there will be a still greater
one made against the issue when it
comes up for ratification by the voters.
There arc several phases of the proposed issue that can be easily condemned and these will serve its opponents as weapons to be used against
the whole issue.
There are those in the state who are
not so much interested in a widespread
prison reform; there are still others
who are not greatly interested in the
construction of roads other than in
their own localities. These men will
fight the whole plan just because there
are one or two clauses in it that they
do not approve. The majority, however, will not oppose the educational
clause, in fact they will be enthusiastically in favor of it; still it will have
to suffer with those that are undesirable to some.
There is, in the opinion of the writer, one solution of this problem: There
should be separate bond issues made
for each of its proposed beneficiaries
and these should be presented to the
voters in such a manner that they can
select those that they favor and vote
against those that they oppose. This
would make the University almost assured of her share. In fact the Kernel believes that she would come first
when the 'ballots were cast.

With eight out of ten games won
and the State championship practically in our hands, the 1924 basketball season of the University bids
fair to be in a measure a repetition

of the Blue and White emerged from

of the south.
Only two defeats arc on our list and
both of these arc from the strongest

has taken on a very rosy outlook to

pany, who is doing all of the work except the laying of the brick and the
installation of the lighting system, has
made the statement that it can finish
its work in 20 days.
The first delay in the building came
when the ibrick work was not finished
on time. When the brick eontract was
let Mr. Shea indicated that he would
have the brick laid by December 10.
Due to the inclement weather and the
scarcity of bricklayers this work was
delayed until January 15. The steel
girders that should have been up by
Christinas arc not up yet, due to this
delay.
Mr. Crocker, the Blanchard representative, said that the steel girders
would ibe up thy last Saturday. But
again intcrfcrred and

many girders arc still lying on the
ground. Now we arc promised that
tlie girders will be up by Saturday.
The building will not be thoroughly
finished for the tournament but it will
be in shape to play in. The finishing
touches will not be on it; neither will
the heating plant be installed but
temporary heating will be provided
for the high school games. The lights
will be ready by the time the building
is finished.
The Allen Electric Com
pany has charge of this work.
The new building, when completed,
will Ibe the finest of its kind in the
south and one of the best in the country. The basement story is built of
concrete and the main floor of brick.
The cost of the building when completed will be between $90,000 and
$100,000. It will be heated by steam.
The dimensions of the building will

have a ten foot ceiling and will extend
under the entire building. In the
basement there will be locker rooms,
showers, toilet facilities, safety vault,
siore rooms and the boiler room.
There will also be four offices for the
coaching staff in the basement.

perhaps the dominant note of the paper.
The editorial column, in addition to
comments on Burns' sympathetic alliance with the New American' republic,
concerns itself with the general bearing of Governor Fields' message to the
Kentucky legislature. Concerning the
proposed survey of Kentucky's resources the articles says in part:
"The significance of such a move
extends far beyond the borders of
Kentucky. Its citizens have played a
major role in the exploration and development of territories to the northwest and southwest that have far outstripped itself. In more recent times

removed there will be a clear floor
space of 100 by 126 feet. With chairs
placed on this floor approximately
4,000 persons could 'be seated for con

floor is large enough to take care of
all University parties for a long time
to come.
With the temporary scats removed
three basketball courts will be accessible at the same time and play can be
carried on in all three simultaneously.
With this ibuilding finished Kentucky should be able to scat comfortably all the crowds that wish to attend her games.
