Friday, a ter.se statement of the
Finnish propaganda office was given
to the waiting war correspondents
In Helsinki. It said. "The Finnish

knew that
The correspondents
fierce fighting had been going on
around the little town of Summa
for almost three weeks. Thousands
of Russian soldiers and wave after
wave of Russian tanks had been
battering this particular section of
the Mannerheim line. Flying over
the Finnish lines. Soviet Bombers
had dropped hundreds of picked
Red soldiers in parachute, each
armed with a light machine gun, to
cut Finnish communications and
supply lines and to draw many of
the defenders out of the front line
trenches. But up until Fiiday, the
Finns were holding their ground and
meeting the invaders blow for blow.
Now. they admitted that they were
weakening. They issued a frantic
appeal to their friendly nations to
come to their aid.
Allies Give Aid
In England their appeal met with
an enthusiastic response. Before,
Chamberlain's war ministry was a
little cautious about aiding Finland
openly; tt didn't want to antagonize
Stalin's great communistic nation.
It remembered only too well the
devastating manner in which the
Red army rolled over eastern Poland more, deadly. In fact, than the
"lightning campaign" of the Germans. Already the Allies were fighting on the western front, to make
another enemy by aiding the Finns
would be foolhardy.
New. however, they had seen the
vaunted Soviet forces bog down
and at times be beaten by the
smaller army of the Finns. Despite
the overwhelmingly great odds, the
forces of General Mannerheim had
pioved that Stalin's army wasn't all
that it was feared to be. With a little aid. the Finns might hold their
ground indefinitely. And now they
needed that aid.
The English government at once
issued an order allowing a number
of their citizens who had not as
yet been called to the front to enlist in the Finnish foreign legion.
Even soldiers who were on leave
from duty at the western front were
allowed to volunteer their services
to the Finns.
The French high command gave
their forces the same opportunity,
and as a result, a number of soldiers who said that they were bored
with the Inactivity of the western
front transferred their names to the
roles of the army of General Mannerheim.
Soviet Answer
Obviously, the Soviet government
was affronted by this action of the
Allies. Stalin may retaliate by actively Joining forces with Germany,
by sending the supplies to the Nazis
which he promised them in his
treaty. If he does, it will certainly
appear that Hitler pulled a clever
trick when he helped start the war

FATAL STABBING

John Henry Bledsaw,
Negro, confessed Sunday to the
fatal stabbing of James C. O'Mar,
23, University engineering student
who died two days after the attack
took place early January 28 on Euclid avenue.
In a written confession, dictated
to Detective Sergt. Rollie Leach,
Bledsaw said that two men, described as O'Mar and Gilbert W.
Cheniae, Junior in the commerce
college, both of Fulton, provoked
the argument and fight which ended with the fatal wounding.
Appearing in police court at 1:30
p. m. yesterday, Bledsaw heard the
case transferred to county court,
where his examining trial was set
for 10 a. m. today before County
Judge W. E. Nichols.
Says He "Wanted No Trouble"
The accused man, speaking to a
Kernel reporter, placed the blame
for the argument on the two University students, saying that he
wanted no trouble with either of
them.
Bledsaw, in the confession signed
Sunday, said that about midnight,
January 28, he left his home at
251
Euclid avenue, and went to
229 Euclid, the home of his mother-in-lato get a box of groceries
which his wife had left there earlier
in the evening. After staying there
about 15 minutes he started home,
walking toward Rose on the north
side of the street. Two men on
the other side of the street called
to him, the smaller of them (Cheniae) saying "come here a minute."
Claims He Was "Cursed, Insulted"
nine-incThe five-foNegro said that he placed the box
of .groceries on the ground (and
crossed to where the two college
men were standing. There, his con
fession said, "the smaller of the
two," identified by detectives as
Cheniae, "cursed me and insulted
me in several ways." He told police
that the things said and done would
have been resented by any self- respecting man and that he told
them that they "ought to respect
people, even if they are black."
The statement said that after re
peated cursings, "the larger of the
two," O'Mar, attempted to hit him
but he ducked. He went on to say

an
nouncing that all registration for

for classes.
This is the largest second semester enrollment in the history of the
University, 117 more than last year,
although still 188 students short of
last fall's number.
Registrar Leo Chamberlain and
his staff indicated that this rise is
in line with the steady increase in
enrollment figures which has been
noticeable in the last five or six
years.
The drop in second semester
numbers is due to many factors,
among which are homesickness, bad
grades, unemployment, and financial troubles.

Professor Kuiper s action in circulating the committee's petition. The
veterans asked the University professor three questions:
1) If he is not for the petition
100 per cent, why would he give
his time and attention distributing
it among his classes?
2) If he is for it, why offer an
excuse for aiding in the circulation
of this petition?
3) If he is a recent convert to
the principles of the American

generous enough to so state his
position that there may be no question as to his convictions?

programs. Seven University professors, chosen
for their versatility and expert knowledge in
their fields, were the contestants. With such
slogans as "Stump these experts or baffle these
brainirnsts," committee leaders conducted a student drive for questions, offering free dance tickets to those contributors whose questions stumped
the exerts.
Following this program, dormitories held open
houses for professors and students. A prize was
offered to coeds whose dorm rooms most resembled that in which their "dream man" would
live. At noon, organized groups of dormitory
men txk professors out to lunch.
The afternoon featured a carnival to which
general admission was two cents. Bingo games,
acrobatic acts, skits, music, weight-guessinall were present at the affair. Later
in the afternoon, fraternities and sororities gave
open houses and dinners for professors and nonaffiliated students.
Early in the evening, at the student-facultjamboree, the student-electestudent queen
and faculty queen were crowned as a part of the
jamboree's musical revue which featured cam"with a liberal dash of
pus talent and script
Gilbert and Sullivan, and Olsen and Johnson."
And climaxing the day's activities was the song-titl- e
ball, to which students and professors went
dressed as song titles. All or part of the program
touched almost every student and faculty member on the campus.
Adaptation to this campus would require
changes, certainly. Even so, it would be difficult
to eliminate under this plan that common ground
of friendship on which student-facultrelations
prosper.

It seems

to this newspaper that no more appropriate ronrse could be taught at the state university of the
capital of the nation
than a course in
and training.
Because of this belief, we view with pardonable
pride the recent announcement by the agriculture college that it is inaugurating a special class
for all students interested in
production and horse-farmanagement.
In the past it has been rather paradoxical, but
nevertheless true, that Kentucky, undisputed
of America, has been turnequine asparagus-being out young horses in abundance, but few
young horsemen. Those youths who have turned
to breeding and training as a vocation have done
so localise of geneological, environmental, or
even accidental reasons. Our schools have done
little to promote any special interest in the subject on the part of students; in fact few students
have even been made conscious that such a field

of activity even existed.
Rut now it happily appears that this period of
disinterest has been ended, and that many voting
RenttuLians will become stimulated to follow
a traditional profession, the existence of which
probably would not have occurred to them otherwise. The Kfrnel hopes in the next few years
to see the class grown to a department, and that
eventually the department will blossom into a
breeding school whose fame will be nation-wide- ,
just as the fame of Kentucky's horses is nationwide today.

Here is a little problem that we offer to students who wish to keep their minds alert. It
ought to be a snap for engineers, math majors.
and others of their ilk.
A tank of 10 gallons of water has a temperature of 80 degrees. It cools at a uniform rate of
five degrees every three minutes. At the end of
l.i minutes a man pours into the tank a gallon
of water of such temperature as to cause the
total temperature to rise 10 degrees. He continues to do this at five minute intervals. However, with each gallon added, it takes the total
in the tank a third of a minute longer to fall
five degrees in temperature. How long would it
take to restore the tank to its original tempera-lurof 80 degrees, or to the nearest to 80 degrees
that ii would be possible
