The unselfishness
services rendered to the
area by members of the
staff of WHAS in broadcasting the
intermittent bulletins of distress
from the stricken area in Louisville
has been recognized throughout the

Professor Clyde
Speaks to Optimists

Declaring that "the people of the
country support or fight labels
rather than specific Ideas," Dr. Paul
H. Clyde, of the University's department of history, told members of
the Optimist club last Friday at the
Lafayette hotel that this is "one of
America's most dangerous tendencies."
Discussing the political situation
in the East, Doctor Clyde pointed
out that the average American is
unable to indicate clearly the differences between communism, fascism, and democracy. In regard to
the recent events in China, Manchuria, and Japan, he said that one
could scarcely give facts about them,
for what was true one day might
be changed entirely the next.
Speaking of the Phillipines, Doctor Clyde stated that the "independence of the Islands is still
something of the future." The decision as to whether the United
States would maintain a naval base
was extremely Important, he said,
Inasmuch as the maintenance of
such a base might lead the country
into a war with Japan.

WHAT! ARE FLUNK OUT?
By ODIS LEE HARRIS
Abraham Lincoln was a great
man that is if history and newspapers can be taken as matter of
proof yet Is doubtful
that he
would have been a success In college. The odds are he would have
flunked out.
Lincoln was lazy. His neighbors
spoke of it as "bone idleness." His
father taught him to work but
never to love work. Thus 10 points
are taken off of "Honest Abe's"
grade, for what professor does not
revel In seeing tils students Inundated with work?
Lincoln being subject to "moods
of deep melancholy" could never
have been

THE

RADIO
FLOOD

S

The part that radio played In the
recent flood Is already history. Had
It not been for the efficient and
continued bulletins that emanted
from the stations to relief workers,
there seems to be no doubt that
chaos would have been the result.
Llsteners-i- n
over all the eastern
and southern sections of the country kept their dials tuned to the
terse and dramatic announcements
which were given. Regular entertainment programs were spurned
for the human drama that was unfolded through the loud speakers.
In Louisville, where observers say
the flood did Its worst damage, station WHA8 did heroic work In
keeping the city organized, enabling
it to cope with all the terrors that
high waters bring.
Next Thursday, the University Is
giving a testimonial banquet to the
Louisville station in recognition of
its work and in appreciation of the
cordial relations which have existed between the station and the
University during the eight years
that the University staff broadcasts
have been a part of the daily programs of WHA3.
The University Is doing a fine
thing In thus recognizing the courageous work that that station ha;
done. Kentuckians in general should
be proud that WHAS, as Mr. Sulzer
says, has made perhaps the most
effective use of radio to date, and
the University should be commended for recognizing it.

INTELLIGIBLE OPINION
HUT NOT A CROSS
SECTION
When this paper asked the student body for its opinion on compulsory military training in the R.
O. T. C, our idea was to gain a
cross section of student opinion, not
the sentiment of a small group.
The first letters to reach this office were without exception written
by exponents of optional. R. O. T. C.
As may be seen by reading the
student opinion columns,
they are Intelligible, constructive
and tolerant, and show that the
writers pent some time in deep and
serious thought anent the question.
However, we think, there must
be someone on this campus who bemilitary
lieves that compulsory
training Is a great thing, who believes that every lad who conies to
college should be compelled to sign
up for military for two years. We
hardly believe that the letters
which are published today represent a cross section, but unless we
hear from the other side, we shall
be forced to conclude that perhaps
they do after all.

To the Editor of The Kernel:
