Finland, A Barrier
The Swedes and the Norwegians
realize that if the Finns are defeated, they themselves will be the
next victims. They know that once
Russia conquers the mainland of
Finland and gains control of the
Aaland islands, there is no hope of
further resistance. Their every bor- der will be open to attack. It's
for this reason, that Norway and
Sweden are sending thousands upon
thousands of troops into the Finnish cause.
The help which the two Scandinavian countries are giving to
Finland is well known to Josef Stalin. He has sent protest after
protest to them, and finally, warnings and ultimatums. Since he got
no response, he sent some airplanes.
This week, these planes new over
Sweden and bombed the island of
KaJla, inflicting a slight amount of
damage. On the same day, a lone
plane, flew over the border of Norway and made a landing in the
interior. Upon its return trip, it
received a heavy fire from Norweguns, but escaped
gian
safely. Immediately, the two nations began to prepare for war.
Tension Grows
The tension has been growing
hi this region for several weeks.
It Is not confined to the Scandinavians and the Soviets, it also in- volves the Germans. The German
press brought such pressure to bear
on the Swedish foreign minister,
Sandler, that he resigned to avoid
friction between the nations. The
Goebbel-co- n
trolled propaganda also
issued a diplomatic ''white paper'
which condemned the Scandinavt
ans. Herr Goebbels must have over
looked the charitable service which
his northern neighbors did for Ger
many during and after the World
War. But his machine was pre
paring the people for another hate
campaign, so anything went.
The Russian newspapers joineu
in too. Thev said. "This social
fascist gentleman. Sandler, is fore
ine Russia to go to war, but we
do not fear him or his bragging
Finnish colleagues." The Russians
have now already starteo in against
Finland, and if the Germans at

actions may change from the wesanti-aircr-

Best example of this dramatic
hypodermic was the performance
of the play's star, Eric Linden,
whose role was by no means a
setup. After all the "Ah! Wilderness" type tasks which Hollywood
has relegated to Mr. Linden, one
might well have expected any minute to see his father take him
aside and tell him about life. But,
surprisingly
enough, Mr. Linden
forgot completely his stereotyped
assignments and began a searching,
workmanlike interpretation of the
role. On Broadway the aesthetic
r,
as played by Luther
Adler, was a hard, embittered shell
of the man he once had been, and
the change was, according to reports, a sudden one.
Mr. Linden, however approached
the character from a slightly different angle ,and injected into the
role a note of sensitive, hurt bewilderment. The result was a performance so human that many of
the audience expressed their doubts
that he was acting at all. Frankly,

An altercation which
curred Wednesday between
police officers, suspects, and

on the third floor of Neville
hall resulted in a broken winoc-

dow.

The window was said to
have been broken by a "Missile" hurled by one cf the officers at one of the cameramen.
Maury Crutcher. superintendent of buildings and
grounds, said yesterday that
since students who broke windows with snowballs had to
pay, policemen who threw
"missiles" were not to be excused.
He said that a bill would be
sent to Major W. H. Hansen,
of the State Highway patrol,
for one dollar.
The Lexington Herald said
that it was a state patrolman,

who threw the "missile."

That the cast, competent though

was best denoted by the six after-sho- w

Reviewer Hails 'Golden Boy'
By JIM CALDWELL
By this time it is generally accepted that "Golden Boy," which
was presented Wednesday night in
the Henry Clay high school auditorium by the Legitimate Theatre
corporation under the auspices of
the Lexington Junior League was
the best play to be seen In Lexington in many, many years. Not only
did it afford its audience a warmly-receive- d
emotional jolt, but it woke-u- p

Ordinarily the Eastern meet is
considered little more than a mild
rehearsal for Kentucky, but this
year the amphibious Cats are handicapped by lack of practice in a
regulation size pool. Thus far practice sessions have been held in the
Lexington YWCA pool, which is
about
regulation size.
Not only will the Cats enter the
meet as state titalists for the past
four seasons, but also as defenders
of six existing state record times
that were established last year.
Two of the records are held by
Frank Roberts, student coach of the
team. Roberts' times of :2o and :57

BOLLING CHOSEN

SEMI-WEEKL-

OF KENTUCKY

UNIVERSITY

By JIM WOOLDRIDGE

FRIDAY ISSUE

Students who look upon the approaching exams with a sinking
heart and a funny feeling in the
pits of their stomaches will do well

to heed with care Dr. Lysle W. Croft,
assistant arts and sciences dean who
has been conducting special classes
on the best methods of study.
As far as the best method of study
is concerned. Doctor Croft says
that the big factor involved is that
study is individualized. A method of
study that is good for one person
may not work at all with another.
Methods of study are like suits of
clothes. They must fit the person
using them.
One important factor, he states,
which applies to all students, is the
keeping of a good set of notes. He
believes that, if a student will keep
a good set of notes and will review
them before an examination, he
should have no trouble. Doctor Croft
is strongly against cramming and
says that a student should study for
an exam over a period of time. He
also declares that to study an instructor and the methods he uses
in conducting his course is Just as
important as studying the course
itself. To obtain the best results, a
student's method of study should
coincide with the teacher's method
of instruction.
Doctor Croft suggested the afternoon as the best time to study. At
night, the body is tired and the results are not so good, he declared.
The best environment is a nice,
quiet place where the student will
be subject to no interruptions. One
of his main "don'ts" is don't try to
listen to the radio and study at the
same time.
Dean Croft expressed his sincere
hope that, at some not too distant
date, the University will be able to
institute a compulsory course for
all freshmen on how to study and
also how to make out a schedule.
Such a class would simplify registration and give students a better
idea of study methods.

Kernel To Have
Lobbyists
A new type of athletic ticket book,
wh'ch could be used to identify the
owner at student elections, Guig-no- l,
and the Union building aa well
as for admission to sports events

was suggested for adoption by University authorities at a meeting of
the student legislature held yesterday afternoon in the Union
building.
Modeled after the identification
cards used at the University of
Minnesota, the booklet would have
attached a picture of the owner,
which would be numbered to correspond with the book itself. Bob
Nash, Fr., Law who suggested the
innovation, pointed out that the
booklets could be kept in transparent celluloid cases in order to prolong their
and at the
time be readily viewed for identification purposes.
The Student Bar association, the
American, Student .Unioa-anThe
Kernel staff were allotted lobbyists,
who are to be permitted to speak
before the body at the first meeting
in each month.
Win Investigate
A committee consisting of John
Clore (Jr Agr.), Jeanne Barker (Sr.,
Sr.,
A & S), and David Blythe
Eng.) was appointed to investigate
the activities, accomplishments and
financial standings of the honorary
fraternities and sororities and report on their individual worthiness.
Members absent from yesterday's
session were: Davis, Duncan, Gregory, Ram dell, 8 taker and Stem.
A committee
headed by John
Hunsaker (Sr., A & S) was created
to look into the advisability of securing an appropriation (from the
student body budget) for the holding of an annual art exhibit, which
would be held under th,? sponsorship of the student government association.
It was voted to compose a petition which will be sent to the Board
of Trustees, and the board of sturequesting

Guignol's lonesome Tune'
Is Termed 'Up To Standard'
By JIM BROWN
Guignol's laboratory theatre rang
down the curtain Tuesday night
on the last of two performances of
"Lonesome Tune," first
student - written drama ever presented by the theatre.
The play, centering around a bitter feud between the Juddsons and
the Reynolds, in the Kentucky
mountains, was complete with gunfire, dynamite, and all the "cussing" that is characteristic of a
genuine
mountain feud.
Staged and acted by an
group, the performance came
up to the stand of Guignol's major
laboratory productions, which are.
on the whole, well staged.
The first of the three acts opened
very slowly, with the action being
composed mostly of emotional out- bursts on the part of Robert All-- I
phin and Dorothy Love Elliott, who
portrayed the parts of Clem and
Sarah Juddson, The action really
got under way in the second act
when the long awaited play of gunfire made its first appearance of the
evening, and the last act drew to
