TO DEBATE Music Instructor i o BEREA COLLEGE O ON AUGUST 13! Andrew C. Wallace Heads Corporation Former University Student I President 'of Cinderella Slipper Shops, Inc. Arrangements have been made for a series of intercollegiate debates between summer session students of the University and Berea College. Tentative debates have been scheduled for August 13, one of which will be held in Berea and the other of that date Is to be staged in Lexington. Debating during the summer school is not a regular feature In Kentucky, but it is believed that much Interest will be aroused by this forensic endeavor. William Rldgeley Pierce, of Mott, S. D., Is the University's outstanding man in the contests and much Is expected to him. His ability as a debater is exceptional. Clifford Amyx, University freshman, will probably see action as a member of the school's team, as will William Dysard, who besides being an able debater, Is out for football. Bcrea's trio will consist of Escum Moore andParls Ballou, debaters of several years' experience. Berea's third man will probably be a more experienced man than either of the two above mentioned. The subject to be argued Is one of great, Interest at this time. It is: "Resolved that the government should own and operated hydroelectric power sites." Mr. Andrew C. Wallace, recently Slipper Shops, Inc., who manages the central store located in Lexington, has announced the opening of a new store at Ashland. Mr. Wallace formerly attended the University. The second of .the .shops was opened at Pikevllle about a month and a .half ago, and .according to Mr. Wallace, Jias given very satisfactory results, showing that a complete chain of the stores may be operated Jn the state. The Cinderella .Sbpper Shop Company was Incorporated .three months ago, with Mv. Wallace and general manager, :nnd W. W. Peavyhouse as secretary sand treasurer. Mr. Wallace recently marled Miss JBerfcha Peoples, who Is a senior at the University, and a .member of the '.Chi Omega .sorority.

Miss Wilson is a vocalist ot athaving studied under tainment, well-knoteachers in New York and Chicago.

Between 1923 and 1928 Miss Wilson was a member of the music faculty at Western State Teachers' College where she conducted the A Cappefia Choir and gave various operettas and concerts. The appointment of Miss Wilson was made necessary by the greatly enlarged demand within the last few years for competently trained music supervisors and the consequent great Increase in the enrollment in the music department at the University. Virtually all graduates with the degree of B. S. in music are placed in jobs and last year more teachers of this character, were wanted than could be supplied. Prof. Carl A.

LUTES SOUTHERN FABLES One of the best known fables spread since the days before the Civil War Is the story of the beautiful courtesy and Chesterfield manners of the Southern gentleman. Through the years this belief has flourished, even In the South. Northerners nre greatly surprised to find that all young men from Kentucky, or Virginia, or Tennessee are not perfect models of the old time hero who bowed from the waist with a fitting remark upon introduction. Without going Into a prolonged discussion of what has come over this modern generation, we can admit that there has been a very noticeable change In the manners of the young man as well as a new defiance in the young woman of today. Nor do we regret all this, for it has meant freedom and truth from the bondage of many useless old conventions. However, at our own University some may sigh for the old days when a man lifted his hat to a lady, or at least allowed her room to walk on the sidewalks instead of jostling and pushing her out onto the grass or road. One reason for the decline in manners at the University is the lowering of the estimation in which were once held. Time and again the remark is made by the Kentucky man student that "Co-ed- s 'don't ask for any respect, so why should we give it. They don't expect or deserve and special courtesy from the boys they date and have classes with." If d this is true, then it is the who is at fault, but there is much proof that these very girls who rush ahead to open the door and stand while the boys take all the available chairs at the sorority house, often wish for the respect accorded their older sisters in bygone days. Music, Stage and Screen William Howard Tnlft, chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. In n recent address before his college fraternity convention, voiced the opinion that extra cunicular nctlvltlcs arp carried to great extremes In the schools nnd that they waste n great deal of time and money. The chief Justice believes that "the war played havoc with a great many conceptions and we haven't gotten over It yet." He also regrets the misuse of scholastic opportunities ns practiced by many students today. The benefit derived from extra currlculnr activities Is open to debate, but when n man of the experience and ability of Chief Justice Tnft voices a contrary opinion people arc inclined to listen. Some of the most outstanding objections raised against these activities arc that the regular curriculum school work Is overlooked, that the expenditures Involved are excessive, that cliques tend to develop, and that the same crowd of students belong to all the activities leaving more timid souls with no chance to belong. Then again, advocates of extra currlcular activities argue that the activities tend to develop leadership, citizenship, nnd physical efficiency. The question may never be satisfactorily settled, but too often It has been observed that popularity, gleaned from wealth, athletic prowess or what not, very frequently Is considered above real capacity and ability in choosing a leader In any activity, from a national honor society to the laying of a cornerstone.
