Unnoticed and unheralded, the university rifle team has won a place
this year among the best collegiate
rifle teams of the nation, losing only
two matches and defeating some of
the strongest teams in the countr? .
The War Department has chosen thli
team to represent the Fifth Corps

The teams which went down to defeat before the rifles of the Blue
and White marksmen during tho past
semester were: Penn. State, University of South Dakota, University of
Pennsylvania, University of Ariaona,
University of Missouri and the University of Oklahoma.
The two
matches lost went to Ohio State anil
to V. M. I. by narrow margins.
Having been chosen to represent
the Fifth Corps Area in the national

WHEN SHALL KENTUCKY GO FORWARD?
It in trot possible for us to believe tbnt there is nny citisen in the proud
old Commonwealth of Kentucky who deep down in his own heart docs not
wnnt to see this sUte go forward, and wot there are a few of those who
hnvo considerable power who are not willing to place the best interest of
Kontucky and her institutions above their own personal interests nnd the
intdrest which they represent.
It seems that they are Riven to make a sacrifice of the hip things in
ordar to promote things that hnvo no material benefit to the state ne a whole.
How much longer are wo to permit those gentlemen to go on with their
quibbling over things of minor importance and give them such n place of
importance in our large dailies as to becloud the things for which every
Kontuckian should be fighting? A few may be interested in the racing
quostion; another group in a production tax on coal; another sect in evolution, and another in blue sky laws; but for the sake of all right thinking
citijsons, why can wc not nil pull together for better educational facilities;
hotter conditions for the unfortunates who are the wards of the state and
for better highways? Is it not time to sot aside all this puny little talk
nnd publicity concerning the things that do not benefit all and take up the
problems which will, if properly solved, put our state near the rank she
should hold among the others of the Union?
Dr. Frank L. McVey, president of the University of Kontucky, in an
nddroM lxfore the Exclmngc Club of Louisville a abort time ago, certainly
oxprowed what should be the sentiment of every loyal Kentuckian when he
said :
"We have resources, enormous resources that might be developed in
this commonwealth; there are industries in the oastern part of the state,
industries in the great cities, and industries in various places. Emphasis
is also laid upon Kentucky as a great agricultural state; and yet there isn't
nny central agency to take these matters into consideration. Are we doing anything, other than here and there in individual communities, toward
tho building up of a great organisation where all sorts of economic questions
coming before us may bo considered; questions of education, questions doal-inwith matters of illiteracy, dependency and public henlth. The answer
is not encouraging. Thorc is no groat central agency that emphasizes the
importance of those things and that keeps them constantly before tho public. The state board of health does the best that it can, but it is handicapped
because there isn't any body of business men and women, of people interested, that are building up a body of public opinion interested in the various things that should be done in the commonwealth.
"When wc turn to another phase of the problem wc find that thorc arc
groups here and there and elsewhere that are engaged in defending the position which they occupy. For insnnce, tho farmers arc saying their Uixcs
are too high, and they arc looking for some way to take tho taxes off their
lands and put them on something else. The coal mining concerns feel that
they must defend themselves against any unjust imposition; and there are
other groups that are engaged in building up organizations, political organizations in partcular. The result is that we have a commonwealth that
is divided into political camps that arc hostile to each other and there is
no pulling together. The people in the field of education hold conferences
to talk over educational matters, thus stressing the importance of education and the necessity of larger expenditures, and they comment upon the
difficulties with which they are confronted. That is only a part of it; the
educational people can't get anywhere, they can't really produce any results, they can't make progress until all the factors in the whole state get
together in a program of progress."
In this address the President of the highest public educational institution in the commonwealth has laid down the challenge to every citizen of
the state to act in the future in accordance with our motto, "UNITED WE
STAND; DIVIDED WE FALL," and to be boosters boosting for Kentucky
first, and this means the Purchase as well as the Blue Grass and the Mountains as well as the Pennyroyal. It ought to be a well known fact that there
more people living in western Kentucky read papers from St. Louis, Evans-vill- e
and Chicago than those who read Kentucky papers; and those living in
the northern most part of our state know more about Ohio and Ohio's problems than they do about Kentucky and the people residing along the Big
Sandy and along the Ohio river in the northeastern section of the state are
in closer touch with Huntington and Ironton and some other
towns than they are with the villages and towns of the interior of their
own commonwealth.
It occurs to us that the principal thing needed is a little educational
compaign and further it appears to us that one of the best mediums through
which such an awakening could be aroused as to change things as they
should be is the public school system. It has been our contention for some
time that there should be a conference of the heads of all of the higher institutions for public education in Kentucky for the purpose of not only agreeing on a program for these institutions which they should submit to the
legislature and have passed, but to also consider the best methods for advancing our city, county and state government. In these institutions are men
who have given their lives to the study of the problems of taxation and
other subjects that are most essential to the production of the best government for the people; then why should we be forced to go longer without
their advice and assistance, leaving things of such vital importance to those
who know little or nothing about such matters of state and have to act upon
manner, usually miss? It is our candid opinion that
them in a
a vast majority of the citizenry of Kentucky would welcome some such leadership and that many other organizations of a civic nature would join in
with their strength in an united effort to bring about a new day in Kentucky.
We are prone to think that those who have left the borders of the grand
old commonwealth and have taken up their dwelling place elsewhere believe
that "Once a Kentuckian Always a Kentuckian," and that wherever they
are it is their duty to pull for their former state and point to her past with
pride. This is an excellent spirit and a bit of the same feeling planted in
the minds of us who remain would be better for the state. The moment that
our citizens begin to pull for the things of greatest importance and get
away from all factional fights, Kentucky will go forward!

In writing of the game, the Lexington Leader says: "Althougn they

At last the Louisville alumni have
come to life and it came about by tho
untiring efforts of N. Gray Rochester,
the newly elected president.
Some
time ago Mr. Rochester called a meet
ing of those interested, at the Brown
hotel and out 6"f this meeting has
grown the best luncheon club in Louis
We meet the first Saturday
ville.
afternoon in each month at 1:15 p.
m., in the private dining rooms of
the Brown hotel. A cordial invitation
is extended to all members of the
faculty as well as students and alum
ni to meet with us on these days.
Two luncheons have already been
held and over thirty were present at
each luncheon.
The first Saturday in
April wc are expecting 75. Already
25 subscriptions have been sent in
to the Alumni Association and at each
luncheon others will be secured until
every alumnus in Jefferson county will
be a member in good standing with
all dues paid.
Mr. Rochester, who has been elected president, will fie remembered as
"Rooster" by all. He played short
stop on the 1909 and 1910 teams and
was graduated with an A. B. degree
in 1912. Since that time he has lived
in Louisville and is now manager for
the new Brown building for doctors
that J. Graham Brown is building at
Fourth and Broadway. Mr. Roches
ter is active in social and welfare
work in Louisville, being a member of
the Lions Club, the St. Paul M. E
Church, South, and a teacher of one
of the largest men's Bible classes in
Louisville.
He holds the distinction
of having made more after-dinnspeeches than any other man of his

age inKentucky.
Ralph Morgan '15 was elected Vice- president. Mr. Morgan is with the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
Company and is very active in the
affairs of the Club. He lives at 115
South Hite avenue.
Miss Christine Hopkins '15 of the
Louisville Grls high school was elected Secretary. Miss Hopkins has always had a keen interest in the Association and has been a loyal supporter of its plans. Robert Bamber
'22, with the Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance Company, was elected
Treasurer.
The 25 subscriptions
mailed to the Alumni office certainly
show we were right in our choice. All
we've got to say is "Watch our smoke.
We will all be there at the Brown on
the night of April 23 with feathers
on."
