Speakers For Farm And Home Convention

North and South
Did someone say something about
sectionalsim? Pro and con have it
out in this issue with R. L. H. contributing the following: "I sincerely
wish that the
practice of
baiting Northerners with the term
'damnyankee' was, as Mr. Caldwell
in Campuscene' seems to think,
a form of amusement and nothing
more. Unfortunately, however, it is
all too often a rather feeble retort
to sincere constructive criticism of
the many glaring social and economic conditions in the South. The
retort, 'damnyankee' seems to be
completely sufficient to its users a
an answer to any argument. To me.
the expression so used, is an admission of ignorance and a suicidal
sense of smugness. It is a defensive
statement denoting an inferiority
complex.

the cause of the
sectionalism by saying that
three elements in the country's natural development devided us into
North and South. Two of these
resulted from the industrial revolution, namely, the ripe stage of industrial advancement and the wide
markets open for American produce.
The third was the natural topography and distribution of resources. As a result of its concentration
of wealth, population, and power
the North has been able to place
the South in a subordinate position. "The domestic system of southern agrarianism was wounded by

Free Speech
To get back strictly to this campus, we would like to say something
about the policy of the paper. Those
little phrases you see in the mast
heads of some papers are usually
taken for granted and that's why
there is not one in this paper. We
refer to the sentences worded: "Columns appearing In this paper under
a byline do not necessarily reflect
the opinions of the administration
nor of the editor, but of the writer."
Not that we are trying to escape
responsibility, for we agree with
most of the columns, but we believe
in every writer voicing his own opinions.
Boycott Japan?
The following letter from a ChinYang, was
ese student, Yung-Kon- g
handed in anonymously. Dated November 28, Shanghai, the letter
urges that America boycott Japan.
A part is reprinted here: "Do you
realize that Japan is buying 54 of
her munitions from the U.S.A. . .
It is your purchase of Japan's chief
export, silk, that enables her to buy
these indispensable supplies from
you. 87l of your silk comes to
japan: 85r; of all the silk that she
exports is sold in the U.S.A."

Trust Fund Is Created

INCOME ESTIMATED
BETWEEN
University Board Of Trustees
Accepts Fund Officially
At Wed. Meeting
A trust fund having, according to
the Louisville Courier-Journa- l,
an
0
income of between $25,000 and
per annum, created by Mrs.
Margaret Voorhies Haggin of Versailles and New York in memory of
her husband, the late James B. Hagcopper maggin, multimillionaire
nate, was accepted Wednesday by
the executive committee of the
University board of trustees.
In accepting the trust fund, the
committee acknowledged "the great
possibilities" of the grant. Under
provisions of the trust the University will receive income from a designated number of shares composing
the James B. Haggin Trust.
Income from the trust may b
used as the board of trustee designates, outside of current expenses,
and with "no strings tied to it," it
was announced.
Two scholarships
for exchange
with foreign Universities will be
created out of the fund, Pres. Frank
L. McVey said yesterday.
In reporting the gift, President McVey
said Wednesday that "this means
that the University may found
scholarships, lectureships, professorships, and subsidize publications of
learned books and articles, or may
accumulate through the years a
fund for a building."
President McVey explained that
in the life of the University gifts
have been received from time to
time, but these gifts have been for
specific purposes, such as the grants
of the General Education Board for
the construction of the College of
Education buildings and the enlargement of teaching and research
in the field of agriculture and rural
life; the gifts of the Carnegie Corporation for art and music and
the subscriptions to build the stadium and Memorial hall by alumni
and friends. This gift, however, offers even greater possibilities for
the University, he said.
The remaining half of the income
from the trust will be shared by
the Woodford County Memorial hospital at Versailles and several charities.

Members

of the committee in charge of the
drive are pleased with the cooperation and results, Dean Blanding
said.

"The Kernel," Dean Blanding
added, "is to be particularly commended for its cooperation in the
drive, for the printing of campaign
material, and the donation which
was made."
L. T. Iglehart, editor of the Kernel, as an official representative of
the student body of the University,
will present the check, totaling donations of all organizations on the
campus, to a representative of the
Lexington Community Chest at a
dinner to be held at 6:00 p. m. Monday, January 30 at the Lafayette
hotel. Margaret Culkin Banning,
author and ' publicist of Duluth,
Minnesota, will be the principal
speaker at the dinner.
The Chest gives the greater amount of its funds each year to needy
families, to youth and social ser
vice groups, to undernourished and
crippled children.
The remaining
Chest funds are used for campaign
purposes and other welfare groups.
Unpaid pledges account for 8.8 per
ceut of each, dollar.
A list of campus organizations
contributing to the Community
Chest will be found elsewhere in
today's Kernel.

SWIMMING POOL
STILL VISIONARY
Fteld House And Natatorium
Nearer Than Before, But
Still Long Way Off

Although the construction of a
swimming pool and field house
concerning which rumor is rampant
is clearly desirable, plans for
these projects are still merely visionary, Dr. Frank L. McVey told Kernel reporters yesterday.
For the past two years, Doctor
McVey stated, University officials
have discussed construction of the
two buildings.
The exploratory drilling for wells
which will be started this week is
for the primary purpose of providing a cheap and efficient method
of ventilating and cooling the recently constructed buildings on the
campus. Doctor McVey asserted. In
the event that a swimming pool is
buiit, the water which had aiready
been passed through a cooling system could be used for the pool, the
President said.
Rumors have been circulated to
the effect that Gov. A. B. Chandler
dolhas pledged a quarter-millio- n
lar field bouse and a swimming
pool before the expiration of his
gubernatorial term were unconfirmed today by Coaches Kirwan
and Rupp, or Athletic Director Ber-ni- e
Shively, who were reported to
have had the interview with the
governor.

In a meet highlighted by three
technical knockouts, the Kentucky
Wildcat boxing team showed its
Southeastern Conference merit with
an easy 2 league verdict over the
Tennessee Volunteers last night in
Alumni Gym.
Except in the 115 and heavyweight
divisions, where the Vols racked up
their two wins, the Cats were never

the first conference fights ever held
in Kentucky, provided plenty of
lung exercise for the 2000 fans.
Kentucky started the fights in
reverse as the opening bout, a 115
pound clash, went to Bill Duniap
of Tennessee
with a technical
knockout in the second round over
Jack Bernheim.
Bernheim easii?
won the first round with a sneaking
left jab but Duniap found a defense
for the punch at the rest period
and nailed Bernheim with a series
of hard rights that put him out on
his feet before Referee Bob Feather-ston- e
stopped the fight.

fight was over Campbell had worn
callouses on his shoulders from

pound scrap El wood Chambers put
Kentucky into a lead never lost,
with a decision over Henry Wood.
Wood kept using his superior reach
to clinch but Chamber's
hard
punches kept him backing across
the ring.
The 145 pound fight went to Walter Warf with an easy win over Jim
Plunkett. one of the gamest scrappers to show on the program. Warf

with everything but the stool in his

throughout the fight.

Tennessee across the ring for most
of two rounds. Joe Moore whipped
across a crashing right to the face
in the closing seconds of the second round that put Jackson down

failed to respond to the final bell.
The most unpopular decision on

23 pound advantage, was given a

Registration and classification will be held in the Alumni

Concert Band To Perform
On 7 th Vesper Program
John Lewis Will Direct UK
Group In Concert On

January 22

Seventh in the series of this year's
Vesper programs will be presented
at 4 p. m. Sunday, January 22, when
the University Concert band will
perform under the direction of John
Lewis.
"Liebestad" from the opera "Tristan and Isolde" by Wagner will be
the opening number of the program.
The theme of this section describes
how Isolde) summoned to cure Tristan of his wounds as he lies dying,
arrives just as he, raving in delirium, tears the bandages from his
wounds. He dies in her arms. As
she sings of her pain and anguish,
she sinks upon her lover's body and
dies.
An overture, "Dublin Holiday,"
by Buchtel and a cornet solo, "Ers- tes Konsertstuck" composed by
Brahms and played by Jack Tho-mwill follow the overture and
cornet solo.
The first movement of the "Symphony in B Minor" by Schubert
will be pne of the high points of
the concert. According to Liszet,
Franz Schubert was "the most po
etical composer who erver lived."
Schubert was born in Vienna in
1797 and in the short span of 31
years produced more than 600 songs,
light symphonies, operas, masses,
chamber and piano music.
To show his gratitude to the town
of Graz, which had elected him to
its musical society as an honorary
member, Schubert composed two
movements to this symphony, later
known as his "Unfinished Symphony" because his death came before it was completed.
"Two Little Japs," a descriptive
piece by Chaxrosin will follow Schubert's composition. It Is a musical
scene of the happenings in a playroom. When the little boy grows
tired of playing with his two Jap
soldiers and goes to bed the soldiers
start a game of their own. As the
game becomes exciting and noisy,
the cat comes to investigate. When
he enters the room all becomes
quiet and the cat knocks over the
soldiers, first one and then the
other. Morning comes and the little boy finds his soldiers knocked
over, so he sets them up and con.
tinues his game.

Miss Martha Hume, a member of a sorority
but the editor said we must
not write anything about that sorority), is a very
talented person. We had occasion recently to
view the annual of Stuart Hall, a school attended a few years ago by Miss Hume.
Xow we had always suspected that Miss Hume
was quite a person, but we had no idea she was
so important. Why she must have practically
run the school she was a member of everything.
She vvTt'tes plays too.

Conference, sponsored by the YMCA

campus.
"I he main purpose of this University Christian
Mission, which visited 16 universities and colleges last year, is to confront the students and
faculties of America with the meaning of Christ
and ihe claims of Christ upon their personal allegiance.
It is appropriate to remember that the campus
has been the birthplace of many religious revivals ihroughout the years. To mention a few of
these: John Calvin at Paris; John Wydif at Oxford; John Huss at Prague: and the Weslcvs at
Ox fotd.
Not to be denied is the fact that religious life
on the campus, as well as in the world at large,
has been found at a low ebb. And the Mission has
found through evidence that the time is ripe for
a religious movement among students. Many are
stking a controlling life purpose and inner satisfaction which they lack. Aimless living is palling
upon them; they crave an abiding loyalty for
their lives, and desire some light upon the baffling situation in which they, along with the rest
of I he world, are involved. They want to know
what Christianity really is, its relation to their
lives, and just what Christianity has 10 offer. The
number who activity oppose or show a callous
indifference toward all religion seems to be de- lining.
Suth a mission as this affords the opportunity
of a lifetime for students to learn the answers
to their questions, to curb the religious illiteracy
of their own minds and that which prevails in
some
educational circles. The YMCA
and YW'CA deserve highest praise for such a
worthy project and should receive campus-widcooperation in making this a successful conference. X. O.

Syphilis On The
University Campus
The announcement by the University of Kentucky health department that 2,000 students
tested for svphilis showed negative results is prra-- t
living, but it does not indicate accurately the
ficqwenrv of the disease among ihe University
or other college students.
It is obvious that if a student knew he were
infected, he would not take the Wassermann
test. The University authorities state the belie!
tli.it ouh three persons in ihe institution aie
fiom the disease. Perhaps, however, there
ate more. Certainly it is to lc hoped no one
assumes, as a result of the tests, that svphilis is
