of its relation to the surrounding

experienced in producing an amateur chorus have been met and ironed out sucessfully.
Bliss Warren, who has charge of
the costuming committee also has
reported that her work is practically
completed and the entire cast has
been dressed in an appropriate style.
The cast might well be used in a

Tickets for the performance are
being distributed in the fraternity,

AND NOW, CONGRESS?
the
from
Scarcely
recovered
worries engendered by the legislative
eccentricities evinced last month by
the Kentucky general assembly hi
us endeavors to balance the state's
biennial budget even at the expense
of educational institutions, the uni
versiiy is this week confronted with
a similar crisis through proposed
lederal legislation.
Within a lew aays Congress is
expected to consider the withhold
ing from the national budget during the next fiscal year all federal
monies for vocational educational
purposes. Again, our national lawmakers are to act upon a proposed
ten per cent tax to be levied on the
general admission to athletic events;
such legislation will naturally affect all revenues derived from sport
ing events. In a word, Congress has
been asked not only to further di
nunish the already depleted income
of the university's instructional de
partments, but also to check the
revenues of the one department
which has heretofore been unique
in operating at a profit.
Kentucky is primarily an agrar
ian state. The vocational training
oered its citizens is invaluable to
them in their later occupations. The
elimination of federal appropriations
for vocational training finally would
result detrimentally for the citizens
of the state.
Undoubtedly the federal legisla
tuie must discover some means of
stabilizing
the country's budget
And naturally enough, in their ef
forts to accomplish this end the in
dividual members of Congress find
themselves hi a disagreeably com
promising situation. It has been
humorously suggested that if Con
gross could tax someone who did
not vote, the budget soon would be
balanced. The budget must be balanced but the interested and voting factions throughout the coun
try disagree as to who should bear
the burden Nevertheless aside from
any prejudiced or selfish interest
that might move the university to
shy from such a burden in view ol
brought
the existing conditions
about by the action of the state
legislature, the subsequent cut hi
faculty salaries, and the threat of
curtailed activities, the university
authorities, the student body, the
people of Lexington, and the people of Kentucky should cry out
against additional effort to foist the
economic burden upon public educational institutions.

LKADKIiSlUI'
The season is on for the selection
by various honorary leadership organizations of those who are adjudged to have been most outstanding for their qualities of leadership
during the past year.
Pledges to Omicron Delta Kappa,
men's leadership fraternity, and to
Phi Beta Kappa, organization for
those who lead in scholarship, have
already been chosen and those for
Mortar Board, women's leadership
organization, will be announced on
May day. Along with these selec

tions have romr the election of
women to lead the Women's Student
for the

coming year. All ot the .students
thus chosen have born signally
honnicd, taken as thry were from
such a large student body as that
Their selection
of the university
brings to the mind of the average
student the question, "Just what
dors one have to do to be chosen?
What is it that tlir.se have done to
distinguish themselves from their
follows?"
There are many factors which
enter into the attainment of a
reputation for leadership and outstanding ability. One of the most
Important of these factors Is that
of faithful attention to the little
things. The Phi Beta Kappa stu
dent is not one who hag gone heed
lessly through the scholastic world,
skipping a uiz here, flunking one
there, saying, "Well, what does one
class matter anyway?" The officers
of W. S. O. A. were not chosen by
lot, nor by luck; they were chosen
because throughout their membership in the organization they had
done well each task that was given
th
