An addition is to be made to the
University athletic field. Stoll Field
is to be doubled in size by the addition of the ground space formerly occupied by the S. A. T. C. barracks.
This new field has been cleared of
signs of the army regime, and is as
level and good for athletic purposes as
the old portion of the athletic field
upon which so many famous Wildcat
struggles
of the past have been
staged.
The new field Is in the corner of
Winslow and Rose streets, and is to

contain a
and four good tennis courts. The
courts are to be placed along Rose
street, at the comer of Winslow. New
nets have been purchased by the University and the new site promises to
be the most popular on the campus
to lovers of tennis. The baseball field
will be farther "up." "Home plate" is
to be placed near the Winslow street
sidewalk and near the dividing line
between the old field and the new.
The batter will face toward Mr. Whipple's new home, the home plate-firt
field line will be directly
toward President MoVey's home, and
base-lef- t

the home plate-thirlino will be toward the corner of Win-sloand Rose streets. Tho new baseball diamond and tennis courts are a
welcome addition to the athletic field
and they are sure to be a mecca for
Kentucky athletes during the following weeks.

Wednesday
The Marne Memorial Fund Cam
palgn for America's Gift to France
among the students of the University
of Kentucky achieved flattering success on the initial day, Wednesday,
when fair
at the doorways of
the various buildings tagged students
and collected the wayward nickels,
quarters, dimes and pennies which go
to swell the fund for a "A Statue of
Liberty In France," to mark the spot
where ithe French stopped the Germans on their drive to Paris, on the
Marne battlefield.
W. L. Threlkheld, chairman, stated
that Fayette County's quota is $700
and it was the aim of the campaign
committee to have the fund represent
ative of every resident of the county
and city. He expressed his approval
of the plan to have a day designated
by public school principals and presidents of the higher 'Institutions of
learning in the city, for the campaign
in the schools.
The quota for the entire State is
$6,000 and the amount assigned to the
University of Kentucky as it's quota
is $100. From results of the first day
it is felt that this amount will be
easily raised and that no doubt go
much beyond the goal set.

PHI ALPHA DELTA IS
AT

Clay Chapter Reorganized

At Initiation Banquet
Last Week
When ithe United States declayed
on Germany practically the entire
membership of the Clay chapter of the
Phi Alpha Delta, national law fraternity, left school and entered the service. Thursday afternoon it was re
organized and again put on a sound
working basis by the initiation of
twelve new members.
nationThe fraternity Is
ally, being second in size and importance among legal fraternities in
the United States, and having about
forty active and eight alumnae chap
ters. For two years it has been practically dead, but with the return of
two members, Tom Grubbs and Jack
W. Howard, who with the help of
Judge Lyman Chalkley and Frank
Ginnocchlo, alumnae members, have
revived it thoroughly and it is once
more on the list of active chapters.
Thursday night, following the initia
tion which took place that afternoon,
a banquet was given in honor of the
new members and the chapter of the
University of Cincinnati, at the Phoenix Hotel. It was attended by prominent alumni, members of the former
active chapter, and initiates.
This fraternity boasts of an almost
perfect honor record, eighteen out of
members having
tho twenty-threbeen enlisted in the service. The
other flvo were rejected on account
of physical defects. Two of their
and
members, Reuben Hutchcraft
Stanley Smith, wore killed on tho battlefields of France. Both students
wore woll known nnd much beloved
and will not soon bo forgotten by tho
members of this Institution. Joe Tor- renco, of Cynthlana, another ono of
their members, was wounded soveral
times and cited for unusual bravery.
The reorganization of this fraternity
marks another forward step for the
Law Department.

COUNCIL

E. E. Kelley and A. J. Muth
Are Student Representatives of Committee

FIRST MEETING

HELD

The Athletic Committee of the University recently appointed by President McVey and approved by the University Senate, held Its first meeting
Wednesday afternoon in the presi
dent's office and formally organized
by electing Dr. J. J. Tigert chairman
of the committee, and Mr. Henry E.
Curtis, secretary-treasure- r
of the for
mer association, to hold the same position on the new committee.
Those present at the first meeting
of the Athletic Committee were:
President McVey, J. J. Tigert, S. A.
Boles, Henry E. Curtis, W. L. Sum
mers, Enoch Grehan, E. E. Kelley and
A. J. Muth. Mr. Kelley and Mr. Muth
are the student members of the com
mittee. Other members of the committee, who were not present at the
meeting are Hogan Yancey, E. B.
Webb, and Louis Hil'enmeyer. These
three men, who are the citizen and
alumni representatives on the com
mittee, were unable to be present for
the reason that Mr. Webb was ill, and
Messrs. Yancey and Hlllenmeyer were
prevented from attending because of
pressing business.
A financial report, Including all the
business up to the present time, was
read by Mr. Curtis. With the track
and baseball season not completed it
is impossible to make a complete sur
vey of the financial situation of Ken-tucky's athletics, but anticipating pros
pective expenses and allowing for all
customary expenses, the final report
was estimated to show a satisfactory
balance in favor of athletics. The final
reports of the officers of the old association showed that the year just
closing was a success financially, and
that the athletic situation at the University was very bright.
The remainder of the afternoon was
devoted to a general discussion of a
resident coach, as provided by the bylaws of the committee. A number of
men, some of national reputation,
were discussed for the position of
football coach, but no definite decision
will bo arrived at until further information is received concerning prospective coaching material. When the
council adjourned it was with the understanding that tho
appointed would make recommendation regarding a new coach. Matters
affecting a now concrete stadium were
discussed. Tho most feasible policy
for tho committee to pursue, as advanced by tho members of the committee, would be to build tho stadium
in sections, a stated portion to be
built annually until the whole shall
have been completed. Tho secretary-treasurwas asked to prepare for

CHINESE SITUATION
DISCUSSED IN CHAPEL
Missionary Sees China's
Part In the World Future.

Returned

"Not for forty years but for forty
centuries has China been urged to
change nnd adjust herself to modern
times, forced upon her by modern conditions?" snid Mr. Robert J. McMul-len- ,
returned missionary from China,
in chapel Tuesday.
He said in part: "Japan has adopted modern conditions and has made
herself a great power. China thought
herself safe in numbers. A small
group of militarists have got hold of
the government and army of China,
and are able to defy the people; this
group is supported and financed by the
is
Japanese.
Thus the government
not heeding the call of its people and
its laws, and is not representing the
people. The people, disgusted with
.this, will surely go to radicalism.
Bolshevist societies are already being
per
organized In China, as ninety-fivcent of the Chinese are illiterate and
cannot gain any knowledge of their
duties through reading; thus there is
danger of China going the same way
:as did Russia."
Continuing, he said:
"China has
come to the pointing of the way. In
the last two years great changes in
China have been taking place. There
has been a change of ideal, partly because of the battle of the Marne,
where autocracy was defeated, and
.because of the consternation over the
Shantung question. Students returning to China are trying to form
China's educational system after ours.
The Chinese literature of the past is
impossible, and it must be changed to
a language of definite clearness in
form and modern expression. The stu
e

dents of China arc rising up to put out
of power nil those who have not
China's interest nt heart. China must
work out her own solution to this
problem.
In conclusion, Mr. McMullcn snid:
"The world of the future is to be the
menace. It is for us to go forth and
meet and overcome menace in China.
The Orient of the future will be determined by China's future, and it falls
upon us to overcome this menace nt
the present. More help Is needed in
China, for the Chinese menace is
greater than the German mennce ever
was. America must have the vision
of service and go forth to help China
nnd make her our ally. Unless America does this, she will go down ns
Rome did."

night, when she was painfully injured

in a taxicab-traito her home in Paris Tuesday. Miss
Connell's injuries are not as serious as
was at first heard, and she will return

Miss Connell's sojourn at the hospital while necessarily a time of anxiety for her many friends, was the occasion for many pretty expressions of
sympathy and affection. Her room
was a veritable bower of flowers and
'the callers and telephone messages
received at the hospital "broke all
records," to quote the authorities of
the institution. Miss Connell, who is
a member of Kappa Delta fraternity
and of the Strollers, made a prominent part in the cast of "The Climbers." So excellent has been her work

On April 8 the students of the University will have opportunity of seeing

in Lex-

ington. Even the stage manager is satisfied with the progress of rehearsals.
The cast is the largest ever seen here in a Stroller play and its quality is undoubtedly the highest. There are old and experienced actors whose names are
to University of Kentucky students by reason of their excellent
work in past years; and there are new members, who have never before appeared, whose work will be a surprise to patrons of the play when produced.
Competent judges have expressed very forcefully their opinion that these
new members of the cast show marked talent and infuse into this already
worthy and impressive organization the new blood and spirit always necessary to the progress of a forward-goininstitution.
The organization known as The Strollers, has had a career on this campus that has for eleven years been one full of increasing influence and
leadership. Each year has marked an advance in quality of plays produced
and quality of acting exhibited in them. From a small unrecognized band of
enthusiasts in dramatic art, forced to meet in hallways and private rooms for
want of friendlier shelter, depending on turn of circumstance for financial
succor, they have grown, because of the real appeal of their work, to be what
they are at present, an organization of large membership, to whose ranks It
Is an honor to be admitted and one much sought after, with a room for rehearsal and social diversions furnished by their own money and maintained
by them, with an imposing bank account, and a loyal and talented membership, from whose ranks a cast could be chosen for any play suited for college
presentation that would compare favorably with professional achievement.
This is the worth of the Strollers in themselves.
Not only have the Strollers grown and increased in merit and reputation,
and indirectly served the University, at the same time they were ministering
unto their own growth, but during a lean year, when the finances of the University were strained, these Strollers at one time stepped into the breach and
lent the University the balance of its money left after their expenses had
been paid. During the war they purchased Liberty Bonds to the extent of
500 The school spirit and patriotism of this organization are beyond question; their dramatic work is of outstanding excellence, and they deserve the
unqualified support of every student, teacher and staff member of the University.
Those who wish to see a good play well presented and at the same time
give endorsement to the organization which so richly deserves It, let them
buy tickets to the Stroller play, "The Climbers," which will be presented in
the Lexington Opera 'House on April 8. Talk about it to friends and give
them a house such as has never before been seen in Lexington.
As a word of private advice, the Kernel would say, "act quickly If you
want a good seat. They are already on sale and are going fast. If you don't
act now you may be left out."
