It is fitting at this moment that every student of the school
and citizen of the state pledge himself to avid support of the
renaissance. We have all realized that Kentucky's athletics
have floundered in some departments, partly blamable
on a lack of players and partly on incompetent management. Indeed we are fortunate in having two capable men
available to recruit into these important positions. Tut
Kernel Aopes that these gentlemen will comprehend the
here and vow to treat their
present unique athletic
obs with all the seriousness and ability they possess.
Mr. Shively has been a friend of the campus lor yeais.
A scholar and an athlete, he coached great defensive lines
here during the reign of Harry Gamage. As a sport official
he is popular throughout the state. He is well acquainted
set-u-

with all problems.
Mr. Kirwan was captain of the Wildcat grid team in
1923. Since then he has been an excellent coach at Louisville
high schools. Being an alumnus, he too, is cognizant of the
necessity for new methods which must be introduced for
successful athletics here.
The Kernel, speaking for the student body, welcomes
these men into their positions and promises unwavering support in behalf of their programs for the aihamt in nt of the
University into the select circle of intercollegiate athletics.

Jeanne Pat Belt, Midway, a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, was elected from nine contestants to reign s queen of the annual ball, it was announced Saturday by a group of local newspaper
men, faculty members, and photographers who acted as judges. Her
atendants will be Evelyn McAlister,
of Clifton, N. J., and Jeanne Barker of Louisville, both of whom are
members of Alpha Gamma Delta
sorority.
A telegram from Bert Gervis, of
Consolidated Radio Artists Inc., explaining the inability of Miss Hutton to appear, was received by Jack
Shanklin. chairman of the committee on arrangements.
It reads: "Under the orders of
Dr. J. M. Huston, 1614 Roosevelt

be prohibited from making any appearance due to a very serious heart
condition demanding rest for at
least two months or more. Ina Ray
Hutton and ourselves both sincerely regret her inability to appear for

Bernie Shively, acting head of the physical education
department and former Wildcat line coach late Monday received the unanimous recommendation of the Athletic Council's Special Committee to become University Athletic Director.
Ab Kirwan, captain of the "26 Wildcat football team and
present head football coach at du Pont Manual High School.
Louisville, will be recommended for the post of head football
coach here, Mr. Shively said immediately after the committee's announcement was made at President McVey's office.
President McVey said that Thursday he will announce
including; the director, head
the entire new athletic set-ufootball coach and the new Advisory Athletic Council.
The new administration is expected to fret the approval
of the executive committee of the Board of Trustees when
it meets at 10:30 a. m. Thursday. The entire nine point program was passed by the old athletic council Friday, when
Coach Chet Wynne's resignation was officially announced.
Monday's act of the committee was the last under the old
Athletic Council. Members of the committee which gave
Shively unanimous approval were Dr. W. D. Funkhoust-r- ,
Dr. Frank Murray, William "Doc" Rodes and David Pettus.
The committee was appointed by the old Athletic Council
Friday to seek and to recommend an athletic director.
Under the new system coaches will not be given contracts but will be appointed for indefinite periods. Status
of head coaches will be those of full professors.
Mr. Shively, who came here in the fall of 1927 as line
and track coach under Former Coach Harry Gamage, issued
a statement after the committee announcement in which he
said "I fully realize my duties and responsibilities that go
with my position. 1 also realize and want you to realize that
there are duties and responsibilities that are yours. With
your help and cooperation we will go forward; without it
progress is impossible."
He addressed his statement to the President of the University, student body, the faculty, the alumni, and the citizens of the entire state.
"It will be my aim to have competent coaches in all
phases of athletics," Mr. Sh .very stated. "My ambition is
that each succeeding year will find us going forward until we
reach the position in athletics that we rightfully deserve."

Shiely's Statement
"In announcing my willingness to accept the position
of athletic director at the University of Kentucky, I
deem it expedient to make a statement at this time, not
only to the President of the University, the student
body, the faculty, the alumni, but to the citizens of the
entire state, because this is your university.
"I fully realize my duties and responsibilities that go
with my position. I alsb realize and want you to realize
that there are duties and responsibilities that are yours.
With your help and cooperation we will go forward;
without it progress is impossible.

is greatly pleased with th two appointments.
Mr. Shively said he would resign from his present post
and accept the directorship when the executive committee
of the Board of Trustees approves it.
He said he expects to assist the new head coach and that
he may "done my togs" and go out on the field and help
him. This indicated he may be line coach under Mr. Kirwan.
Mr. Shively was an

Mr. Kirwan played here under Frank Murphy. He was
graduated from Louisville Male High School, to which he returned as an assistant coach. He went from that school to the

Regarding the policy of the new administration, Mr.
Shively said that Coach Rupp's record speaks for itself and
that he will most certainly be retained as head basketball
coach.
He said that in all coaching positions he will try to obtain men who can assist each other in the various sports.

In the fust plate, the publication of these

have lxrn seized bybrings forth an old quesfederal investigators
tion.
Why should it lie illegal to transfer student

There are times when students cannot or do
not care to attend athletic contests. They were,
at legisiraiion. given no choice in the matter of
purchasing ticket liooks, and each time they do
not attend an athletic event they may lie considered as losing money. There is no reason why
valid admission should lie idle, especially when there is no refund from the University on unused tickets. Hence, it is only logical that a student should attempt to make good
his investment by selling the ticket book to an
other person. Otherwise, he defrauds himself.
That, however, is a federal offense, because it
involves unit payment of the amusement tax.
One cannot argue with the federal government.
Notwithstanding this, there is a solution. By
charging an extra fee to take care of the amusement tax on each ticket, the University author
ities could legalize the transfer. of student liooks.
This would make it possible for those unable
to attend certain athletic events to tecompense
themselves, and would remove the danger of
their losing their ticket books altogether. Likewise, it would remove the federal agents from
the gates of campus contests. It is a simple solution, and a sure one.
Why not try it?
