Last Wednesday evening the University gymnasium was the scene of
a most successful athletic carnival,

the purpose of which was to raise
money for the athletic fund. The
eram was vare,l interesting, and well
prepared, consisting of boxing, wrestling, games, dances and music.
First on the program was Mr. Bart-let- t,
who amazed his audience by his
daring work on the high bar. Among
his stunts were the "fly away" and
the "giant swing" which are seldom
seen outside of a professional performance. Later on he gave an exhibition of .his prowess on the parallel
bars and was equally as good at this
as his former act.
A wrestling match between Benson
and Magregor was the. next feature.
The time allowed for this match was
eight minutes, and the two heavy
weights grappled with each other until the time was up, without either
man winning a decision.
Margaret Parrish, in a quaint,
dress, delighted the audience with her dancing of "Dixie."
This dainty little lady, as she danced
to that good old southern tune, completely won the admiration of all who
saw her, and she is Justly deserving

The UnirTsity of Kentucky will be
unable to increase its faculty the com
ing scholastic year, owing to the fact
that it is about $150,000 short of what
is actually needed, according to Uni
versity authorities.
About $470,000
was appropriated for the use of the
University in the coming fiscal year
by recent legislation. This fact was
made known Monday afternoon when
the executive committee of the Uni
versity met and approved the budget
with minor changes for the fiscal year
beginning July 1. It will be finally
acted upon by the Board of Trustees
at the next quarterly meeting, June 1.
A considerable increase in the student

MEDICINE.
What is the difference between a hill and a pill? Why, one is hard to
get up and the other is hard to get down. This old conundrum might very
well be applied to a feature of this week's Kernel, tho stricture on University debating. Like the pill, It is hard to get down, for dt states some rather
disagreeable truths. But medicine is healthy, according to those who give
it, especially for a sick man. And according to the writer, public speaking Is
The Sick Man of the University. But unlike the Sick Man of Europe, his
presence is too necessary to be spared.
It has been said that oratory is the highest of all the arts wherein both
thought and action meet. Its effectiveness depends in almost equal measure
on action, which includes all the phases of delivery, and on thought, which
includes argument and composition. The style of oratory offers opportunities for virtuosity almost as great as rhapsodic prose. A Cicero, a Demosthenes, a Burke, a Webster, a Bryan, are acknowledged masters of their respective languages. The supreme art of the actor finds adequate exercise in
the delivery of a good speech. Aside from the practical benefits of public
speaking, this art holds high rank from purely artistic merits; Therefore the
Kernel welcomes any suggestions made with the intention of advancing the
position of public speaking in the University.
The author of the contributions in this issue of the Kernel on University
public speaking lis not by any means a destructive critic. He holds out, after
A searching examination of the situation and conclusions as to what is the
matter, a remedy which the Kernel recommends to the attention of the Department of 'English in particular and to every student and member of the
faculty who can utter two consecutive words without stuttering.
This remedy may be like the hill referred to, hard to get up, and mount
successfully, but the successful achievement of the ideal which the writer
seems to hold before him would be of such incalculable benefit to the University and to each individual student, that no amount of effort and enthusiasm
would be wasted in the undertaking.
Accordingly, the Kernel suggests to the head of the Department of
English that lie take steps to arrive at some sort of meeting of minds of those
interested in the furtherance of the art of persuasion, in order that the condition pointed out by the author of the article in this issue, deplorable if indeed
true, may be corrected by the proper steps. If such a thing is done, it will
xako no prophet to predict that Kentucky will be even more successful, in
this field now than she has been in the past, when with conditions very unfavorable to development of public speakers, she has won such honors in the
field of intercollegiate contests. Honor comes not save with effort.

A large number of girls have been
practicing on the court at.Patt. Hall,

keen rivalry between the matches.

Following the tennis tournament,
sometime about the middle of May, a
hockey contest will be held. Up to
this time the weather has been so unfavorable that little could be accomplished with the hockey teams. But
the girls have shown an unusual interest in this game, and such good
work has been displayed that Coach
Blanding feels sure that an interesting contest may be held.
It is planned to have two teams
selected from the classes, who will
oppose each other in this contest. In
this way, the faculty and students of
the University will be able to familiarize themselves with a sport, which
as yet is not popular at the University.
