Spring Production of

JOSEPH
In two of the most exciting
games ever witnessed in Alumni
gym, Kentucky's Wildcats turned
back the challenge of the Creighton University Bluejays on successive nights before capacity crowds.
Kentucky won the first game, 63 to
43, and the second 34 to 13, although the scores fall to give a
true picture of the closeness of both
encounters.
"Big Ed" Edwards set a new
Kentucky scoring record and what
may also be a new southern record,
when he ran wild in the first game
to tally 34 points, connecting with
IS field goals and four foul tries.
The Bluejays were a
aggregation and boasted a
number of individually brilliant
performers, headed by "Box"
leading scorer of the
Missouri Valley conference.
He

lived
game, scoring 33 points and

giving one of the finest exhlbltons
of pivot playing that Kentucklans
have ever seen.
The first game started off fast
and continued at the same dizzy
pace throughout. Kentucky got out
In front Immediately on shots by
Edwards and Lawrence, but the
Jays came right back when Engel-bretsflipped In a one hand try
from the foul line and Lomax rebounded one. Both teams played
furiously and although the Wild

lead they
could not stretch it as the Blue- Jays matched them basket for basket. It was not until late in the

Be Regulated by Law." Thomas

University of Dayton will uphold
the affirmative. The negative will
be defended by B. T. Moynahan
and Marvin S. Moore of the University.
Announcement was made recently, that Kentucky won the only
decision debate it has participated
in this year. This was the radio
debate held with the University of
Louisville in December. The decision was made by ballots sent in by
the WHAS radio audience. Uni
versity men participating in this
debate were Elvis J. Stahr and
James A. Moore, who spoke affirmatively on the question of federal
aid for education.
Speakers from Wtest Virginia who
debated at the University Friday
were Paul Chamber, Huntington,

BEHAVE

YOURSELVES

(An CdltorUl)

Fellow students, when you are 'working" off your elective houm in
"Commonology." It would be well If you adhered more strictly to the rules
mat are necessary for the continuance of this highly entertaining
"course."
In other words, please try to use a little more common sense and dis
play more manners when you are sojourning in the Commons. Miss
Hoover wishes to emphasize the fact that you are welcome there, but
wnen at eleven o clock it becomes necessary to sweep and straighten up
the dining room for lunch, you should not have to be asked repeatedly to
make yourselves scarce.
Many students not only make use of a table to play cards on. but use
the table top and a pin point for a score card. Is this respect for the
property of others? And then, not content with using one table, they
pile their coats, hats, books, et cetera, on another and use two or three
chairs upon which to rest their weary limbs yet seemingly resent it
when asked to move their belongings so the tables can be prepared for
festive purposes. Is this respect for the rights of others?
And another thing you might at least work up sufficient energy to
place your feet on your cigarettes when you throw them on the floor.
Cigarettes when left lighted continue to burn, you know, and the floor of
the Commons Is linoleum covered.
And still another thing
lthoufh this has nothing to do with
the Commons for Heaven's sake show your "raudn" " and your Kentucky sportsmanship a bit and quit "booing" every decision a referee
makes at a basketball game. You cant and don't are everything that
happens. Usually the referee la right, but even if he hint, the most
undignified and unsportsmanlike thing you can do Is to howl like a
pack of wolves. We have Just two more games, both at home, picas
try to conduct yourselves like ladle and gentlemen. And remember
too our boys can play better without the amok screen!

CITED

Over 80 per cent of the graduates
of the College of Law passed the
state bar examination over a three-yeperiod on the first attempt as
compared with an average of about
40 per cent as a general state average, according to a study recently
completed by Dr. Frank Murray,
professor in the Law college.
The survey calls special attention
to the fact that, although the University does not attempt to give
special training in preparation for
the bar examinations, but looks be
step to a
yond this preliminary
thorough preparation for professional life, yet the graduates of the
sucschool have been unusually
cessful in the state tests.
A close correlation between the
work of the students in the Law
college and results of the bar examinations was also indicated in
the study. Practically all of the
students who failed in the first attempt on the bar examinations were
classified in the lowest fifth of the
student body, and most of these
attempted the examination before
completing
the required college
work.

At preeent, there is approximately $700 In the business office which
represents the total sum of the
class balances of 1931 and '32. What
will be done with this money?
Smith Broadbent, president of the
Class of '34 ordered that the remainder of his class' fund be distributed aming the Y. M. C. A.,
a fund for chimes In Memorial Hall,
a class tree, erection of artistically-designe- d

through their commendable move

graft. In their tealous efforts to
rid the campus of this evil, how
ever, the committee has caused a

under any circumstances. The de
mand that class officers have a
balance to meet debts that might

but It is highly Improbable that
debts totaling $200 or more will
have been overlooked.

do so provided all other financial
obligations have been met and a
nominal balance is to be left on the
