President McVey s Statement
Upon Opening Of Union
For many year on this tain pus we have talked about and
dreamed of a central building where student activities might
be housed. Now that dream has confe true anil a beautiful,
commodious building is to be opened on Saturday, May
fourteen, 1938. All of this accomplishment is a matter of
congratulation and rejoicing.
The new Student Union building should bring the student
body into closer understanding and appreciation. New
friendships should ensue and new enthusiasms for university
life should come forth. Organizations will find in the new
building adequate meeting places, and the student, especially
the commuting student, will have a campus home in this

building.
At the same time the possession and enjoyment of the new
building brings some obligations to respect the building and

raised by the ODK society for the use of students'. They aie
the best that could be bought. Careful use of the building
and its contents will bring a feeling of pride to all of us.
The management of the Student Union carries responsibility that will rest upon a board of directors and a manager.
All of the board and the manager are inexperienced in union
management, but the board and, manager are recjx.'tive and
cooperative, so that the Union should go along well from
the beginning, especially if the student lxdy takes the Union
into their hearts and rejoice in its possession.

observations on the
necessity for the student body to observe the
rules of the Student Union building and by observing these rules to keep the structure always
as beautiful and serviceable as it is today.
On page one, also, is a boxed announcement
to the effect that no smoking will lie allowed in
the ballroom or music room. Sometime ago in

regulation. At any rate the notice here seemed
to have little effect, because now that the word
has got around that there will be no smoking in
these rooms, some of the students who haven't
seen the interior are complaining.
It is hard to believe that anyone who has
seen the magnificent ballroom or the carpeted
music room could allow himself to mar any part
of them. And there is no doubt that to sanction smoking in these rooms would finally ruin
their beauty, for it has been found in dealing
with any large group of smokers that inevitably
a few will crush the burning cigarettes on the
floor.
One of the coverings is linoleum, the other is
a carpet. Neither will survive fire. Look the
building over and see if you don't thing it is
worth preserving.

"Louisville railing." says the girl. "Charges
reversed."
"Who is it? Lawrin. O. K. put him on."
"Im." he says in a HOARSE voice, "listen,
buddv, I'm going to win this Derby. If you
don't believe me, just wait and see."
Now, it is not everyday that a horse phones
you and tells you that he is going to win a
race, even when you are paying for the call.
So we decided to take his word for it.
"Law" (we had known each other for years).
"Law,"-says right back at him, "count me in.
Go to it, pal."
Come the seventh race at Churchill and Lawrin carried not only the 126 pounds that the
stewards assigned to him, but also all we could
rake up to put on him. Also, our hopes, tears,
pleadings and prayers.
He lived up to his promise and won it. Law- tin. vou sweet thing!

The Associated Press was wrong. .The United
Press was wrong. The North American Newspaper Alliance was wrong. All racing sheets
were wrong. The radio networks were wrong.
The 65.000 who jammed the track were wrong.
Everybody was wrong.
There were 11 horses in the 1938 Kentucky
Derby and we are not counting the lead pony.
One hundred and thirty thousand eyes watched
that race or tried to watch it, but not one saw
the eleventh horse.
He was Billionaire our choice for last year's
Derby. He had been running ever since the 1937
Derby and was at the mile and eighth post when
lawrin and the other nine thundered by.
Determined to see the eleventh horse finish,
we staved until the crowd had left the Downs.
The sun went down. It was pitch dark. Then
at last there he came. He had finally crossed
the finish line.
We claim the distinction of being the only
man to see Billionaire finish the 1937 Derby-ev- en
if we did have to wait a year to do it.
