Two conflicts facing every individual, said Doctor Horton, are

Professor Presents Four
Alternatives In Solving
Philippine Problems

Declaring
that "the American
policy in regard to the Philippine
Islands Is definitely off on a tangent." Dr. Amry Vandenbosch. head
of the department of political science, told, persons gathered Monday night at the Lafayette hotel
for the annual dinner of the Kentucky Society, Sons of the Revolu
tion, that "this policy has put the
United States on the horns of a dilemma."
Four alternatives were presented
by Doctor Vandenbosch in discussing solving the problem. "One is to
draw the shades, permit the Islands
to go their own way, and then witness the ruin and chaos; another
is to fight for them, which would
result in economic and financial
ruin here; a third, is to use Wilson's Fourteen Points in the protection of the islands, but this
probably would not work; a fourth,
the agreement of all powers having
Interests In the Far East, might
work, whereby the Philippines are

Opening its season In an auspicious manner, the University tennis team defeated Indiana University 3 in a match that was not
decided until the final doubles
game yesterday afternoon on the
local courts.
Playing
better than expected
from their admirers, the
showed up well, considering their lack of practice. Indiana
exhibited a good brand of tennis
and might have won if they had
been in better shape. Not that they
weren't in good condition, but when
it came time for the doubles
matches the men who had played
the singles appeared tired.
Only one thing marred an otherwise perfect tennis match and that
was a slight injury to Treman of
Indiana in the last game of the
doubles, when playing with McEl-vai- n
against Donohue and Wisner.
He ran into the post at the net in
an attempt to return a ball hit by
Donohue and suffered Injuries to
his leg and hip. He returned the
ball, but in falling struck the net,
thereby losing the point. Kentucky
played it over, took that and the
next point to win the set and
match.
The playing of Warfield Donohue
was the bright spot of the entire
meet. Playing in the No. 1 position,
he defeated his man
and
showed such form that he replaced
Phil Englebardt on the No. 1 doubles team. Phil was winded after
winning the longest match of the
day
and 4, and retired.
Dischinger
Coach
brought a
squad of excellent tennis players
here and they should go far before
the season is over. Treman. Tuthlll
and Melrs started for the Hooslers.
All seven men on the Wildcat
team saw action with Wisner and
Foster getting to play only In the
doubles, Wisner on the No. 1 doubles and Foster paired with BottS
on the No. 2 team.
This afternoon Sewanee comes
from the Southland to engage the
Wildcats in battle, and tomorrow

HERE SHALL THE KERNEL ALL
STUDENT RIGHTS MAINTAIN

To

the Former Editor of The Kernel:

and
Since you've set the mode in advising me,
confidence in mc through this
expressing your
fashcolumn, George, I would like, in a similar
ion, to acknowledge your words, and to pay my
respects to you.
One year ago, when you assumed editorship
of The Kernel, you visioned accomplishing
something material for the students and the

intrepid.
I remember the response when you launched
your campaign for optional senior class attendance. It was anything but encouraging. The
students paid little heed, and the faculty even
less. But you realized that it was something

torial, or even in the short
You knew that the campaign had to be continued, and I will continue it for you.
Then, later, when you attacked the alleged

honoraries on the campus and offered them an
opportunity to defend themselves, the only response you received was a guilty look from the
key collectors. Spence, if I can render no other
service to the students, I will consider my administration worthwhile if I can clean up the
honorary racket.
Later still, you made mention of the need of a

created, but
Only recently you suggested that a united
student government be established. The necessity for this action has long been sensed, and
your comments brought action. It would indeed be worthwhile if the Men's Student Council and the Association of Women Students
could work for a united cause.
There are many other projects and problems
that you brought to our attention. The need
of a field house, and other buildings, as well as
the proper mental outlook on these projects;
you commented on them all. If only everyone
could realize the need for a greater appropriation, if they could realize the need for better
equipment, and if they could but foresee the
work that this University could do under better
conditions, then we would stride into the realm
of unrivaled schools.
And now, today, Spence, I am in the same
that you were one year ago. I am filled
with the same desires of service. 1 am bundling a year's campaign for piogiess.
It may be interesting for you to note, Geoige,
what my plans for the future are. May I reassure you that I will fight for everything you
fought for. I will attempt to uphold the students' rights. I will give them every opportunity to express themselves on the issues facing
them. If they could but realize what satisfaction it is to an editor to arouse their interest,
what satisfaction it is to publish their opinions.
We have progressed during this past year,
haven't we, Spence? We maintain athletic
teams which can well be classed with the best in
the nation. We have a sujKib coaching staff.
We have a
and progressive president of the University. We have, generally, a
capable faculty.

Yes, Geoige, I am looking forward with a desire to do service. But as you mentioned, my
duty is still to the students. I stand for a progressive, cultural, as well as athletic student
body.
I pledge myself faithfully to woik with, and
