New Production Of Guignol nm Be Rare Treat "Giaconda," the third production of the Guignol players under the direction of Frank C. Fowler, will open the night of March 18. "Giaconda" by Babriel D'Annunzlo, is to be an offering of rare artistic and dramatic beauty. The original cast has been changed slightly for the opening performance. Miss Georgetta Walker, Kappa Kappa Gamma, has been selected ti to play the part of Giaconda in place of Miss Margaret Lewis. A minor part of Beata, the child, will be played by Miss Louise Dudley, a senior in the Arts and Science College. Frank Fowler, director of the undertaking, announced yesterday that the play would be staged in two settings. The first part of the scenic effect will embrace a Southern Italian summer room. A sculpture studio will furnish the second part of the scenery. Special music accompaniment, an innovation, will be used to establish a suitable background for the presentation. "Giaconda" is indeed an ambitious undertaking for the Guignol players, but Judging by the plays they have presented in the past, there Is little doubt that they will do it justice. The cast is composed of Miss Georgetta Walker in the title role of Giaconda Diantl. Miss Jeannette Kimberlln will play the part of Silvia Settala. Melvin Nol-la- u will appear as Coslmo Dalbo. Frank Fowler, versatile director, as Luclo Settala. appear will Louisa Dudley plays Beata, the child. A minor part, Sirenetta, has not as yet been filled.

By Lawrence Crump With the close of the varsity basketball season at the University of Kentucky, followers of the net game on the will focus their attention eleventh annual state high school basketball tournament which begins next Thursday in the Men's gymnasium. Regional tournaments at Murray, Owensboro, Horse Cave, Louisville, Lawrenceburg, Georgetown, Richmond, and Ashland, will open today in an effort to select 32 teams, Classes A and B boys and girls, to be present for the opening whistle at Lexington on March 14. The 32 district meets were played last week. Many fine teams will be eliminated in these regional meets, especially in those districts where as many as four or five strong teams are located. The sixth regional tournament at Georgetown appears to have toughest competition with the Lexington Senior High, Covington, Dayton, and Georgetown battling for the crown. Danville's Admirals appear to have the edge in the fifth region, while St. X of Louisville is expected to take not only the fourth regional, but the state meet as well. Ashland Is as usual a heavy favorite in the eighth district but their chances for another state title are slightly dimmed since last year because of recent defeats both in and out of Kentucky. Among the officials secured for the tournament is Frank Lane, whose high brand of officiating is enough in itself to guarantee the success of the tournament. He will be assisted by BillIansen, Bart Peak, Travnl-ce- k and Head, all of whom have been well received in recent tournaments. - Graduates Sponsor University Club Society Leases Third Floor of Louisville Building for Its Quarters A society, to be known as the University Club, was formally launched reecntly at Louisville.

The regular meeting of the English club was held yesterday at 3 o'clock in room 211, McVey hall, instead of on last Friday, as originally planned.

Templin High adventure and unparalleled achievement marks the brilliant career of the man who now presides as Chief Executive of our great nation. Only last Monday, an orphan boy from Iowa stood in a drizzling rain pledging allegiance to one of the greatest flags In all the world. Herbert Clake Hoover, engineer, scholar, financier and humanitarian, of the United Is now President States. Our President is a "self-mad- e man." He started out in life as a poor orphan and the large degree of success and popularity he has achieved can be attributed to his. own efforts along with hard work. President Hoover was born 55 years ago in a little Quaker colony located at West Branch, Iowa. When seven years of age he was left an orphan and from that time on his own self reliance was rapidly cultivated. Multifarious, circumstances carried this boy from his home in Iowa across the continent to Oregon where he worked on a truck farm. Eventually, however, he became af filiated with his uncle in the real estate business at Portland, Ore. The desire for an ""education so that he might some day become a engineer led young Hoover into Southern California where the Leland Stanford University was then being built. Seizing upon every opportunity to gain admittance to the school he engaged himself to do odd jobs about the newly constructed campus as a help in paying Ills way through college. In 1895, this man graduated with the "Pioneer Class" as a mining engineer. A few years slipped by and with the outbreak of the World War we find President Hoover as one of the greatest present-da- y engineers. His uncanny ability to make mining undertakings succeed where others failed, stamped him as the engineer who seldom falls. The World War, however, curtailed President Hoover's career as an engineer. With unflinching zeal President Hoover set about to establish some means of alleviating suffering and (Coatiavcd oh Page Eight) ? - * THE KENTUCKY KERNEL ALUMNI PAGE Subscribe For THE KERNEL And Help (he Association G.
