"The hope of China Is that the
United States will take her place In
the League of Nations where she can
effectively champion China's cause.
The United States always and everywhere has heen the defender of oppressed peoples and it is our own
nation, the great republic of the West,
to which the struggling republic of
the Far East is looking for action and
for continuance of that policy which
will preserve for her the possibilities
of a great future," was the concluding
paragraph in the speech that won first
place for the University in the oratorical contest held here Monday in
chapel, as presented by .Clifford E.
Smith, a freshman in the College of
Law.
' Smith will now represent the University against winners of state contests in Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan, to
be held in Wisconsin April 2.
The decision was rendered by men
from other states who were entirely
neutral as to contestants, Professor
H. S. Woodward, Western Reserve
University; Professor iC. H. Thurper,
Purdue University, and Professor B.
,C. Van Wye, University of Cincinnati.
The decision in favor of Kentucky
shows that a new era in the art of
oratory is being recognized, for Mr.
Smith's oration was one that appealed
to the audience thru logical reasoning and not alone by appealing to
the emotions thru "flowery English."
It was not however a easy matter to
decido acordlng to statements mado
by the judges, for the Kentucky Colleges were ably represente dby gifted

orators.
Mr. C. MdCoy Franklin, representative of Berea College, who came
second, spoke on "Americanizing

theme of his speech was the power of

The University of Kentucky basketball squad will end its 1920 basketball
scnedule with Che
game in Lexington Saturday night.
The Centre aggregation has the better claim to the State championship
in basketball, since it defeated the
Wildcats in Danville February 14.
Should Kentucky defeat Centre Saturday night, however, the two outfits would be tied for Stute honors.
The Wildcats are now in better condition to handle the Centre outfit than
when they were defeated 44 to 15, and
it is generally thought that the game
will be a close one, and that probably
a surprise or two will be sprung on
the visitors.
Because of the recent illness of Everett, Coach Buchhelt had intended
starting the game Saturday night with
Wilhelm in the center position, but
the latter sustained a broken nose In
practice Wednesday, so it is highly
probable that Everett will be back at
center with the remainder of the reg-

Stroller play each year for the best
design submitted for tho program
cover, the management announces the
opening of the contest Saturday morning, March G, to last until March 18.
Any student In the University is
eligible to compete in the contest and
their drawings will be considered by
three competent judges, who will be
selected later. Drawings must be
turned in to Emory Frazier, at the
Stroller rooms. Further information
on the contest may be obtained from
Mr. Frazier.
Rehearsals for The Climbers are
being held each night and the play is
rapidly being rounded into shape.
Plans for the sale of tickets on the
campus and prospects for a ticket-sellin-g
contest among the students are
being discussed by the management.
"The iClimbers" is the first serious
play ever presented by the Strollers
and serious work, commensurate with
Its worth, Is being put into the practice by every member of the cast. The
leading lady is Mary Elizabeth Downing, and those who have had the opportunity of hearing her Interpretation of the part say that she is a remarkable interpreter of emotional
parts and exceptional for a college
actor. Emory Frazier Is playing the
male lead. He needs no introduction
to audiences of the University of Kentucky; all that is necessary to say is
that his work is as good or better
than ever. The supporting cast has
been chosen from an unusually large
number of aspirants, and Is perhaps
the most capable ever got together
for an amateur performance in the
city of Lexington.

WILL THE SENATE ACT AT ONCE?
The story which appeared In last week's Kernel concerning the offer
men, has attracted
of the United States Government of land to
much attention. Ten or twelve applicants have applied to Harry Cottrell
for information concerning the procuring of these land grants, and character of land offered.
Although the Kernel does not approve the purpose of underclassmen
giving up their work in the University to accept this offer, it does see In it
an opportunity for those who are about to complete their college courses,
and who are eligible for ownership of this land, and willing to make necessary sacrifices In order to get It. It seems unfortunate .that these men, especially those in the College of Agriculture who would and could use these
lands, may be unable to do so because they are not to receive their diplomas
until June 12, while the latest priority settlement on these land grants
expires May 12, and it is probable that those who apply earlier may have
choice of more desirable lands.
In view of the fact that the people of the United States are passing
through a period of reconstruction following a great war, a period of which
the outcome may determine the future stability of the Nation, and in addition to this, in view of the fact that our Government has adopted this plan
men with the purpose of
of extending homestead privilege to
promoting the agricultural activity of the country, the Kernel urges that
this matter be taken up at once and given thoughtful consideration by the
men In the University
Senate of the University in order that
who have already expressed a desire to obtain these valuable farm lands
may find their way to do so.
If the Senate sees fit, the Kernel would be gratified indeed if these
students in the College of Agriculture who are looking forward to the attainment of degrees in June, but who desire to take advantage of this opportunity, be granted the same privilege as that extended to students during
the war; that is, of receiving credit on the ground of patriotic service, for
such work as they might miss in carrying out the details of filing claims to
land and arranging for legal residence upon it.
The Kernel Is reliably informed that several University men are contemplating filing on Wyoming lands but are balked at the very threshold
by the fact that if they filed within required legal dates they would miss
graduation, provided the intervening work were rigidly Insisted on.
CRUCIAL

HOUR

FOR UNIVERSITY.

economists that after
every war there Is a period of internal reorganization and expansion. The
reason for this is the depletion of resourcs and reserves by the exactions
of warfare. In order to regain the prosperity of peace times, business men
and financiers pare the peeling a little more closely, watch corners and cut
them whenever possible. Their task is no easy one.
This condition especially prevails in America today, with the additional factor involved, that the exchange medium is seriously inflated.
There is less to buy and more to buy with; as a result, prices soar. In
such a case, economy is absolutely essential, both in business and political

It is one of the commonplaces of

present-da-

transactions.
But there is also this further consideration, that cannot be neglected
Tiy any one desirous of grasping the situation and handling it. Education
must not suffer. No man starves his children to feed himself; society
would not tolerate it. Yet this is what is being done at present to the
young people of the State of Kentucky.
The University of Kentucky has been doing notable work the last two
years. War took from it some of its most promising students. Conditions unprecedented in academic history disordered the machinery of instruction. Funds were low and strict economy was necessary to continuance of operation. Despite these obstacles tho University has come
through tho war years without demerit and with extraordinary success.
Not only has It held its own, but it has expanded in many directions, and
entered many new fields of helpful activity.
Tills has been especially true of the Colleges of Engineering and Agriculture. Many new and useful courses have been offered courses that will
repay to the State a thousand times their cost in better trained citizens,
greater developments in commercial, scientific, and social fields. Tho
percentage of interest, if It were possible to calculate it, would be astonishing, amazing. New equipment has been purchased to enable professors
to present adequately and teach their subjects. Buildings have been Improved, altered to make them fit for Immediate and pressing needs. None

can complain of University achievements these Inst two years.
But whnt of tho next two? These should constitute our period of retrenchment. But a school cannot retrench. It must not go back, and conditions prevent It from Btnndlng still. Wo must go forward. Enrollments

These things take money. Wc must havo money. Dormitories, new
clnss rooms, now equipment, nddltions to the faculty, Improvements
to make tho University a fit place to which to send young people
for scholnstlc training; these wo must havo nnd these will tnko money.
The Legislature must glvo us money.
Kentucky Is already far down in tho educational roster of States and
not without loss to herself nnd her prestige can sho go back. Yet this Is
whnt will most certainly happen If the appropriation for the University of
Kentucky Is not Increased by the action ot the Kentucky Legislature.
Failure to increase it will mean a step backward.
LET US GO FORWARD!

more distressing than the usual epidemic of Spring fever nnd the lapse In
the good work of the students of the University.
There Is no time more tenderly beautiful, no season more ovanescently
appealing to man's sense of beauty than that which brings the buds and
blossoms, brought to life by the warming sunshine of Spring. Nor is there
any place which awakens more wonderfully at the spell of those transforming genii than the campus of the University of Kentucky. The robin
and the cardinal will be greeted With new green leaves and wild flowers.
The picture the Master painter is preparing to limn for us lacks only the
mantle of Spring covering the sloping hills and levels of the campus with
a carpet of green.
The Kernel notes with grief that certain good students of the University
and others who are perhaps visitors are making it impossible for the student body to receive to full extent, the beauty which might be theirs. For
along the borders of every driveway which winds among tho buildings on
the campus are unsightly ruts left by automobiles, and prints of horses'
hoofs. These are the result of careless driving; there is scarcely a space
of ground of any size on the campus which is not marked by unsightly
paths made by those who take short cuts to and from buildings.
The Kernel seriously believes that this is a matter which invites tho
thoughtfulness of every member of the student body to which this paper
belongs. It recommends especially to that most powerful organization,
the membership of which is restricted to wearers of corduroy, that it devote its attention for awhile to the work of bringing to task those who
are seen to offend in this way against the principles for which the Senior
court exists.
Furthermore, it urges that the entire student body consider itself an
active committee to let it be known that this barbarous mutilation of the
campus cannot and must not continue. In their hands rests the only
weapon which can be used effectively to combat this evil. That weapon
is public opinion. That weapon must be used now if the University of
Kentucky is to enjoy her full heritage of beauty.
The Kernel is confident that in gaining the
of the student
body, it leaves the matter in safe hands.
