Prospects for Securing Southern
Tournament in Future Years
Are Brightened
The Southern Conference, an association of 22 of the largest and most
outstanding colleges and universites
of the South which have been brought
together for the purpose of pujting
ainieucs in uie ouuui on u nign juunc
and to, promote cooperation among its
members in establishing a high stand
ard of conduct of athletics, has ac
cepted the invitation extended by the
University of Kentucky to hold its
1927 annual meeting in Lexington.
The invitation was given by Dr,
W. D. Funkhouser, secretary of the
Southern Conference, and S. A. "Dad
dy" Boles, athletic director at the
university. Invitations were also ex
tended by Montgomery, Memphis
and Nashville.
The annual convention of the con
ference, such as will be held in Lexington next year is a meeting of officials of the conference to discuss
plans for the athletic seasons of the
.following year and to adjust any difficulties that may have arisen during
the past season. The conference will
abolish rules or make new ones, as
it sees fit, for the good of the 22
schools in the association. The ver
dict of the officials in the conference
is final in all things upon which they
.may have been called to pass judgment.
Acceptance of the invitation is considered to be conclusive indication that
the University of Kentucky is constantly growing in athletic prominence in the South and it is said by
some "that having the conference meet
here is the first step toward procuring for the university the annual
basketball tournament which is held
each year to determine the championship of the South; some of the more
optimistic university supporters even
going so far as to hope that the
university may possibly get this tournament in 1928.

Th first international intercollegiate
debate ever held in Lexington took
place last Friday night at the Central

of Kentucky met Oxford Col
lege of England. It is estimated
that 2,000 persons witnessed the de
bate which is regarded as the great
est event of its kind ever held in the
state.
Representatives of the University
of Kentucky were W. H. Hanratty, of
Hopkmsville, a junior in the College
of Law, George Robbins, of Florence,
and James Burnett, of Barbourville.
On the Oxford college
team were
Patrick Monkhouse, Gyles Isham and
Michael Franklin.
The debate was of the split team
type used in England. The subject
was "Resolved: That Society Has
More to Fear Than to Hope From
Science."
The affirmative was up
held by James Burnett for the university and Patrick Monkhousa and
Gyles Isham for Oxford College, while
the negative side was presented by
George Robbins and W. H. Hanratty
for Kentucky and Michael Franklin
for Oxford.
The affirmative contended that society has more to fear than to hope
from science in that the natural

The Student Art Activities, an innovation on the campus was inaugurated and is being developed by Prof.
Carol Sax and Mr. Lester Crook, ac
cording to an announcement from the
department of Art. The purpose of
this new movement is to give employ

working their way through the university.
Mr. Sax says: "Theddea of the Student Art Activities is this; many students have various jobs paying very

Their natural gifts and ability will
enable them to pursue much more re

Message to Students

"The bonfire celebration on the nineteenth of November
introduced some new features that are hardly in line with
the best traditions of the university. A number of barber
poles, signs, a cart, and a wagon were destroyed or injured
by students. The property loss amounted to more than a
hundred dollars. It is hardly right that the owners should
bear the loss. The students are responsible and the classes
therefore must be assessed to pay the amount of the damages.
This will be done by dividing the amount equally
among the four classes and the treasurer of funds will be
called upon to pay the amount. The committee of the Suky
Circle examined the claims and fixed the amounts.
"The students of the university must recognize the
rights and property of citizens. I sincerely trust that this
sort of thing will not happen again."

Arch Bennett, senior in the Arts
and Science College and a member of
Phi Delta Theta fraternity, attended
the annual session of the National
Student Federation of America, which
met December 2, 3, and 4 at the
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor,
Michigan.
There were attending the
convention representatives from 166
colleges and universities, 18 of these
being Southern institutions. Mr. Bennett represented the University of
Kentucky and was elected delegate
by the Men's Student council.
The purpose of the convention as
stated in the program was the appraisal of college education as conducted today, the integration of the
various protests against standardiza-atio- n
of college life, the consideration
of steps taken by different institutions in meeting these problems, and
the adoption of permanent forms of
organization for the federation.
Dr. Alexander Meiklejohn and President Little, of the University of
Michigan, were the principal speakers
on the program and then discussed
the outstanding problems of the
American college of today. Athletics,
fraternities, honor systems and student government were other topics of
discussion.

(By KATHLEEN PEFFLEY)
Have you written your weekly letter home yet? If not, rush to the
Phoenix hotel immediately and get
your place in line on the mezzanine
floor. There you will find all modern
conveniences incidental to correspondence and in addition you can meet
and greet all the male population of
the University of Kentucky.
In fact, the hotels have achieved the
popularity of the coffee houses of Ben
Jonson's day. All collegiate social
activity centers about the writing tables. Here Benny indites a labored
scrawl to Lucy back home. He has
been having an awful time but he still
loves her.
He wonders why she
doesn't send him some of that fudge
she used to make.
He has been
thinking about her continually since
he arrived and has been faithful to all
his promises to her (except when he
got drunk last Saturday and when he

has had dates with other girls). Benny neglects to mention to her the exceptions.
It is here that Harry tells Dad all
about having been kicked out because
the prof misunderstood an innocent
little wisecrack he made.
He has
been ill for about a week and has doctor's bills to pay so would like to
have his January allowance at once.
Also, one of the boys took his new
overcoat by mistake at the last Cadet
Hop and forgot to send it back so he
will have to have another one.

,The University of Kentucky is one
of the unfortunate state universities
that can boast of no endowment, no
Alumni Fund and no source of income rather than that which the members of the Kentucky legislature and
senate see fit to give it every two

This income
state for the last few years
has been woefully inadequate as
every graduate and former student
knows. Only through the skilful and
able handling of the affairs and the
finances, by those who direct the
destiny of the University of Kentucky, has it been possible for the
university to keep pace with the demand upon it as well as it has. However, all the skillful handling in the
world will not enable the university
to keep pace with the demand, that
each year is increasing more and
more, without additional and substantially additional financial aid from
some source.
With the one exception of the football stadium and the new basketball
building the Alumni and friends of the
University of Kentucky has not been
called upon to give fiinancial aid to
the university. At least it has been
many years since any such call was
made, if at all.
Time and time again the following
fact has been called to the attention
of Alumni and friends of the university but it is a facjt that will bear
repeating time and time again in the
future. The University of Kentucky is
just entering into the era of its greatest service to the state and nation.

is the easiest to perform. It is the
duty of every graduate and former
student of the university to acquaint
himself with the problems, needs and
difficulties that face the university.
Mere curiosity should prompt this if
no other reason. With the needs and
problems of the university cleajrly
realized each and every one should
make himself a publicity bureau of
one and spread these needs to every
one he meets. The building up of a
strong sentiment for the advancement
of education through the University of
Kentucky is a prime necessity for the
growth and expansion of the university.
There are some Alumni whose interest in their Alma Mater is begun,
entered, and ended in the football
team of the institution from which
they were graduated. This type of
interest, while it to a certain extent
interests them in their university or
college, will not build buildings and
hire additional faculty members to
care for the ever increasing student
