Gaines case, in which the Supreme
court ruled that the University of
Missouri should admit a negro student.
In answer to Eubank s suit, the
University had filed motions to
quash the proceedings. These mo

STATE LAW
Eubank was refused admission to
the University because of a state
law forbidding the education of
white and colored students in the

The wildcats had more than their
pride injured in Saturday's fracas
with Vanderbilt.
Don Boehler, sophomore end from
Lorain, Ohio, was the most seriously
hurt of the Kentucky players. He
was taken to the Good Samaritan
hospital just before the start of the
second half of the game with what
Dr. Jack Rafter, team physician.
termed a concussion of the brain
and a possible fracture of the skull.
Hospital attendants today stated
that Boehler's condition was fair
and that he was resting well. Coach
Ab Kirwan talked to the players
Saturday night and said that he
remembers nothing of how or on
what particular play he was hurt.
The condition of Bill Portwood.
also a sophomore end. who suffered
a broken nose early in the game,
was described as good today. Although he was taken out at the time
he was injured, Portwood was able
to play part of the second half,
wearing a nose guard.
Ermal Allen, senior halfback, who
set up Kentucky's second touch i down with a long run to
the three- yard line, received a shoulder
which kept him out of most of
the action in the second half. The
shoulder is still giving Allen trouble
and he applies warm cloths to it
every night.

Reorganization of the University
summer school, placing its control
under the regular University administration, was approved by the
Board of Trustees' executive committee Saturday.
Instead of being run by a single
summer session director,
fufvr .
summer terms will be supervised by
the president, the dean of the University, and the deans of the colleges.
The change was recommended in
a report by Pres. Herman L. Donovan. His plan was immediately approved by the committee in order
that the new setup might be orgaa-- I
Ued for the IS42 summer term.
The Executve committee also
provei the 500 Student Loan Mil.
This measure will go into effect as
oon as the committee is completed.
Faculty members will be announced
Friday, according to President Dono- van. Thursday night the Student
Legislature will appoint the three
student members.
MORE LOGICAL
"I am recommending this change
in the administration of the sum-- ;
mer school solely to provide a more
logical administrative organization.
The University has reached th-- ,
period in its development when Its
educational program should be ex-- !
tended over the entire year." Prei-- j
ident Donovan said.
Dr. Jesse E. Adams, director of
the summer session for the past
ten years, was appointed actin?
dean of the Graduate school during
the absence of Dr. W. D. Funkhous-W- ar
er. Dr. Adams' appointment will
be effective next semester,
The committee also decided to
com-th- e
discontinue
the mid-yemencement exercises,
in his report on the recommend-Thi- s
ed changes in the summer school
administration. President Donovan

Homecoming:: A Definition
We heard a good definition of Homecoming
l.isi Saturday, and from the looks ol l.eingion
over i he weekend, it was a true one.
Went the definition: Homecoming is the lime
when all the old graduates tome hat k and get
diunk and Maine it on the undergraduates, and
I Ik- - undergrads gel
drunk and blame it on the
old grads.

P.v the lime a college graduate is sixlv tears

Bowles, "that each year of the four college tears
is worth S1K.IMKI."
I here are other ways of measuring the value
of a (ollege education. Inclusion in Who's W ho
in Ainrriia is sometimes used lo measure "success." Aitording to one survey, the mtsoii who

College edutalion, of course, cannot be given

brought out that for the first five tears alter

For Want Of A Brick.
The Chance Was Lost
A friend of ours almost threw a brick through
the rear window of an automobile the other
mxin, and wet an't say that we blame him.
With a crowd of other students he was crossing the road from the Law building just where
it enters the main c ircle, on his way to the I'nion building for lunch. Suddenly like the

Fhe driver never slowed up as he neared the
group (Tossing the street, but honked his horn
and kept coming.
Of course, the students scattered in time, and
the tar biceed on around the corner.
We said the friend almost threw a brick. Unfortunately, there was none handy.

The Story Of A Prof
And The Retort Flippant
CONFUSCHIA

How to get Professor Knight
pronounced "oarfit. gentil
in the best Middle
English circles i to read our column? How to prove to him that,
after taking his short story course
in one easy lesson and twenty-fi-ve
fiendishly hard ones, we write just
like Anton Chekhov? Or anyway we
could if we wanted to.
So obviously, the way to get Professor Knight to read our column
is to write one about him. Although
we do not mean that Professor
Knight is the only one who likes
to read about himself.
Men. we always say!

Have you heard the reply classic
his bright' young daughter, Dorthy,
has been known to make upon
occasion?
"Dorothy", sas Professor Knight.
" I have been read'ng an interesting book called "The Omnipotent
Amoaba'. and I should like you to
read it. In fact, I believe I will hold
you responsible for that book."
"Why should I read a book?"
says Dorothy.- "I can."
Which is probably the most gorgeous retort flippant ever thought
up. but we would not advise you
or you or you to make it to Professor Knight unless you happen

By

osfphink Bi i.i.
to be Dorothy, since he has been
working on an answer to this one
for several years, and may think of
it at any moment.
One falls over the nicest people
stacked up outside his office door.
There are about four feet of space
there that serve as clubroom for
Those Who Have Professor Knight.
Because, of course, you can either
take him hard or you can leave
him strictly alone. That is, you can
turn purple with rage every time
anyone says anything against him.
or you can turn purple with rage
every time anyone says anything
for him. Purple it is, either way.
