Displaying a vitality that astounds physicians, tiny

because of a strictured esophagus,
continued to ding to life today.
Bernard Jenkins, of Nameoki, Illinois, father of the infant, was told
by attending physicians yesterday
that the child may live another
week, although little hope Is held
out for recovery. The baoy has lost
little weight In the past few days
and seems only a little weaker, physicians declare.

"BABY LEROY" IS STAR
Toying with the Georgia Yellow
Jackets for 15 minutes, time enough
to run up a 24 to 3 score, the Kentucky Wildcat regulars turned the
remaining time over to their "understudies" who carried on in fine
style and sent the Jackets home
Saturday night on the short end
of a 57 to 30 score.
Mainly because "Big Ed" Edwards and Dave Lawrence, Wildcat scoring aces remained In the
game such a short time the Cats
saw the enemy take high scoring
honors for the night. Byder, Tech
center, collected twelve points, scoring four field goals and sinking
four out of seven free throws. He
barely nosed out "Duke" Ellington,
Wlldeat substitute guard, who tallied five field goals and one free
throw, for a total of 11 points.
Lewis, with 10 points, and Edwards
and Lawrence with nine points
each were high point men for the

Big Blue.
The Wildcats showed again Saturday night that they could score
from the free throw line as well as
from the field, making 11 of the
13 gratis tosses awarded them. The
Yellow Jackets were less accurate,
being able to make only eight of
the sixteen awarded them. Each
team lost a man via the personal
foul route, Carlisle for Kentucky,
and Glenn for Georgia Tech. FIX'
teen fouls were called against the
Wildcats while Tech was guilty of
11 "errors".
The victory Saturday night was
the eighth conference victory for
the Kentuckians and Imbedded
them deeper into the leadership of
the Southeastern conference.

States
That Germany Will Not
Deviate From Stand
Berlin, Feb. 11 (INS) A powerful and well equipped German
army, Its ranks swelled by the expected revival of compulsory military service, is definitely heralded
by the Relchswehr, it became apparent today.
Picture of a Oerman mailed fist
strong enough to repulse any invader, and a bold challenge to the
rest of the world to disarm, and
let rearmed Germany alone, may
be seen between the lines of an
article penned by Major Jost of the
Relchswehr ministry.

"The Internal and external barriers of the
German army
system have been torn down, and
the road is free asain for a development transforming the national
defense forces into a national
school," the Major writes.
In plain words, he means that
the new German army will be based
on a pre-wconscription basis,
subjecting every youth in the land
able to carry arms to a term of
TO END military service.
Apparently anticipating the Locarno air treaty, or some similar
move. Major Jost

Professor Bigge
SPEAKER
Is Granted Leave
German Department Head Is VISIT
Given Scholarship To
Study In Germany

Dr. Adolph E. Bigge, head of the
German department at the University, has been granted a sabbatical
by the executive
leave for 1935-3- 6
committee of the University and
accept a scholarship which has
will
been extended him by the University of Heidelberg In Germany.
Dr. and Mrs. Bigge, and their two
children, Adolph, 8, and Marie, 3,
will leave for Germany about September 1, and will remain in that
country for the entire school year
of about 10 months.
The subject suggested by the Ger
man institution for Dr. Blgge's
study Is "Student Housing Problems
in German Higher Institutions of
Learning." Under the German system, the students of the various
higher institutions spend consider
able time during the year visiting
the living quarters of other Institutions than the one which they customarily attend. During these visits their living expenses are at a
minimum as the dormitories are
government-supported
to a large
degree. It will be Dr. Blgge's problem to study the advantages of this
cooperative housing method.
Dr. Bigge received his bachelor
and master of arts degrees from the
University of Michigan.
He first
came to Kentucky for the school
year of 1925-2- 6 as an Instructor in
German. During the school year
1929-3- 0
he obtained a leave of absence from the University and returned to Michigan and completed
his work for his doctor of philosophy degree. He then returned to
Kentucky, and In June, 1934, was
made head of the German department.

YESTERDAY AND TODAY.
TOMORROW?
Today ts the anniversary of the
birth of Abraham Lincoln, and with
the annual observance of this date
there will appear the usual large
'
number of editorials lauding the
merlta and achievements of this

tr

serious, sombre, yet ever optimistic
man, who undoubtedly was one of
our moot noble and accomplished
Americana.
Ail of us are familiar with the life
and deeds of the "Great Emancipator," and tune has tended to heighten his fame, not lower it. The
shadow of his greatness is still
visible across the stage of our national existence, and it is not likely
to be dimmed to any extent In years
to come. By some persons he Is considered the greatest American of
all times. Others contend that had
he lived at another time, today for
example, he would not have been
able to cope with the situation.
Herein lies a point that is fre
quently hotly debated: Would Wash
lug to a, Lincoln or any other of our
famous men been able to face a
situation differing from the one
in which he was successful and
achieved his fame? In other words,
could Washington have successfully met Lincoln's crises and Lincoln
have met Roosevelt's?
After all, however when this
question is considered from all
angles It seems rather shallow. The
Important point Is not whether or

chance the United
States has always managed to have
a man big enough to cope with the
situation When the real crises must
be met! It seems more Important
then that we count our blessing of
having men who are capable of

ponder concerning what this or that
able pilot would have done in an
other storm.
We do not have to be reminded
that the whole world is In the midst
of the most complex situation in
its history We are fully aware of
this, but we feel to a great extent
that the hand that is guiding the
destiny of our nation today Is a
more than capable one.
Wa have not always had able
men In the president's-chai-r,
but
thank heavens those men always
have been In office when the going
was more or less smooth. We should
indeed look toward the future
hopefully hopeful that the Almighty will continue to send us a
guiding Jlght In the deepest darkness.

MEASURING DESIRE
How badly do we want a Student
Union building? To some the question may sound superfluous, but
from the lack of enthusiasm and
determination In finding means of
raising the necessary funds during
the current school year, the question Is justified.
In the University Commons have
been placed various scenes of Student Union buildings from other
campuses and which seem to hold
little or no interest to the average
student spending a vacant hour or
eating his meals there. He seems
content to let other Individuals and
organizations do all the work In
creating desire and enthusiasm over
the project. Upon questioning, he
will tell you that he Is very much
In favor of a Student Union building project and. In most Instances,
heartily approves the comparatively
insignificant erection funds campaign which is surviving despite
tremendous odds. But what has he
actually tried to do toward com-

would be lessened to a eurprii-- ;
degree if the students, indivld-- ;
were to be-- I
t: ily and collectively,
me vitally Interested In what Is
.dug done to assure such a build-- i
ing on this campus within a few
years. Let them look for articles
and news items in the Kernel concerning the project, inquire about
the progress of the program from
their acquaintances In O. D. K., and
above all, discuss the situation as
It now stands among their fellow
Ftudents in the hopes of getting
some of the obstacles removed.
Doubtless, there are many plans
which are more effective than the
ones now in use in raising money
to erect the building, but they must
be conceived and presented by an
enthusiastic and determined student body.
The time has come when we must
determine whether we want a Student Union building or not. If so.
Is our desire for It sufficiently
powerful to Insure our unselfish
devotion of time and energy toward
the program as outlined at the
present time? Many obstacles not
seen last year have loomed up this
year and present a darker outlook.
Among them is the fact that it Is
felt that a central heating plant
is needed more than a Student
Union building; thus, one faction,
and Indeed a powerful one, has
been taken away from the cause,
The student must help if the dream
is to become a reality within a
comprehensible future. Do we want
a Student Union building enough
really to work for one?

ORIENTATION
As one wends his way about the
campus day by day he is confronted with student after student
who ask the questions: "Why must
I take this course?", "Is this course
a crip?", "What's the easiest thing
I can take to work off this requirement?" "What's the use of my taking this subject, anyway I'll never
use this In my line of work. That
bunch of
they Just put
this course in the curriculum to
make It hard for me."
Such a continuous outburst ox
complaint, serious or in the spirit
of humor, prompts one to stop and
wonder how much foundation there
is for such statements and who is
at fault the student or the powers- that-be-

?

Let us consider the situation from
both angles the position of the
student and the position of the
authorities. If we investigate the
matter thoroughly we shall find
that most students come to college
with very little idea of what courses
they should take to fit themselves
best for the venture on life's seas
or with no ultimate purpose or goal
In view. Three out of five students
have not chosen their life's work
and another five has had It chosen
for him by his parents or has
decided on some vocation because
"he thought he would like it" or "it
sounded nice". On the other hand,
university authorities have spent
years In the educational field, making studies of the needs of college

students, and are constantly making changes In the college curriculum to meet the "trend of the
times".

What is the cause of this situation? Upon observation we find
that most students have no idea
of what they s
