The slogan "Let's make it $4,000"
in reference to the United War Work
Drive, is ancient history, as the $4,000
mark was reacht last Saturday and
left behind as the figures crept to
100 per cent, 121 per cent and 125 per
cent, above the University's quota of
$2,500. Early Saturday morning a tele
gram was sent to headquarters at Louisville, stating that Kentucky would
raise her quota 100 per cent, but even
that did not seem to be able to stop
the enthusiastic subscriptions which
continued to pour in to Dr. Boyd's office.

W. HERNDON,

Stoll Field.

For the first time this season the
football fans of the University and
city will have a chance to see the
Wildcats perform on Stoll Field when
they meet the strong University of St.
Louis, team here Saturday. It will be
the first time that Kentucky has ever
met St. Louis, and a large crowd is
expected to greet the Westerners.
The game with Center which was
postponed on account of the flu ban,
will be played on December 7, and a
game with Wabash has been scheduled
for Thanksgiving Day.

have unusual obstacles to overcome
this year. On account of the flu ban
they were compelled to meet Vander-bll- t
after only a few days' practice,
and were defeated thru no fault of
their own. It has been no easy task
for the men to devote the little time
they have off from their military duties to football, but they have responded nobly and the team which will face
St. Louis Saturday will be a hard one
to beat.

was held at the Phoenix Hotel for the
colleges of Kentucky. Those present
from the University of Kentucky, were
Professor Melcher, State chairman for
the campaign, Judge Chalkley, Professors Freeman and Frankel; Richard
Duncan and John Davis, who represented the Y. M. C. A. and Mildred
Collins and Mildred Graham, who upheld the Y. W. end of it. At that meeting the quotas were flxt for all Kentucky colleges, the University of Kentucky quota being $2,000, which was
$500 more than was raised last year.
However, $2,000 sounded insignificant
to the delegates when they heard
Berea accept a quota of $4,000, so
with enthusiasm mixt with doubt, Kentucky raised the $500 to read $2,500,
amid the applause of the convention.
Fired with the spirit of the movement
the Y. W. representatives decided to
forego picture shows for one month
to raise their share (which decision
was aided by the flu.)
Added to the $2,500 to be raised was

Eight gold stars among the blue
ones on the service flag of the University represent the eight sons of Kentucky who gave their lives for the
cause of Democracy. Some fell in
action on the fields of France, others
met their fate on the high seas, one
died In a training camp in this country, during the last hours of the struggle. Each has given his life for his
country and the University will ever
honor the memory of her sons who
paid the supreme sacrifice, that right
might triumph.

"Off again, on again, gone again,"
applies to the University as well as
the immortal Finnegan, for the year
1918.

With the cessation of hostilities the
universities of our country went back
to their ordinary curriculum, and a
bewildered faculty and student body,
are now starting the year anew.
Two terms, ending in March and
June, respectively, are now the order,
and S. A. T. C. men have

drill, however, and will remain in barracks thruout the year. No more men
will be sent to Officer's Training
Camps.
President Frank L. McVey, of the
University of Kentucky, has received
the following telegram from Bruce R.
Payne, Regional Director, Students'
Army Training Corps, who is stationed
at Nashville, Tennessee:
"Committee on Education requests
me to say that soldiers who have been
transferred from S. A. T. C. to Central
Officers' Training School or to Officers' Training School under control of
chiefs of Staff Corps and Department
Chiefs of Artillery and Field Artillery
will be allowed the option of transfer
back to the S. A. T. C, provided they
return to college immediately. I suggest that you wire this information
immediately to any students who have
been transferred from your unit."
President McVey directed that a telegram be sent to all such students signed In his name, as follows:
"Students in officers' training camps
may be transferred to S. A. T. C. They
must return to university at onco if
they wish to have benefit of the
transfer."
