unit is without one of its chief sponsors. Three elections have already
been held, several weeks have been
spent in holding such elections, and
yet the first battalion is without its
sponsor.
An unusual combination of the uni
versity and fate has conspired to
bring about this
condition.
On Monday, February 14, the advanced corps met in Dicker hall and
elected their regimental and battalion
sponsors. Misses Lucille Short and
Thelma Snyder were chosen battalion
sponsors. But alas! immediately after
the election it was discovered that the
newly chosen regimental sponsor was
ineligible for the office as she
failed to make a standing for the
first semester.
Straightway the military depart

NEW RULES ARE ADOPTED
Dr. W. D. Funkhouser, secretary of
the Southern Conference and chairman
of the Athletic Council of the university, returned Monday night from
Atlanta, Ga., where he attended the
annual Southern Conference basketball tournament and was present at
an executive meeting of the confer
ence.

Dr. Funkhouser who reports an en
joyable trip, says that the tourna
ment was the biggest upset of years.
North Carolina and Maryland, picked
to be the strongest teams of the tournament dropped out of the play early.
Georgia, a dark horse, advanced to the
finals and fought it out with Vanderbilt for the conference championship.
Vanderbilt emerged victors after an
exceedingly tight game. Dr. Funk
houser adds that North Carolina has
won every other tournament but one,
and the Kentucky Wildcats took that
one.

The conference arrived at a con
clusion in regard to spring football
games. Attention was called to Article seven, Section one, of the 1927
Southern Conference Constitution and
which says, "The football
season shall close the second Saturday
following Thanksgiving and no member of this conference shall engage

A regimental sponsor was chosen

Miss Lenore Alway, of Ohio State
University, spoke to the girls of the
university on "The W. A. A. in Ohio
State," in the women's gymnasium,
Wednesday afternoon just before the
awarding of the W. A. A. pins. Miss
Alway, who was brought here under
the auspices of the local W. A. A.,
was introduced by Miss Mabel Hill,
president of the organization.
Miss Alway said that the W. A. A.
was one of 124 organizations of sim
ilar type, all of which were under the
jurisdiction of a national A. C W.
She traced the development of 'athletics for girls in Ohio State, and"a"d-de- d
that their main' sports were
hockey, archery, basketball, swimming, golf and bowling. Miss Alway
said that as an experiment this year,
the point system in the W. A. A. had
been

discontinued'.

She

concluded

with a plea for all girls to come out
for athletics.
Rifle Instruction Begun
Following Miss Alway's talk, the
rifle manager announced that preliminary instruction in rifle would begin
next Tuesday night at 7:15 in the
woman's gymnasium. She urged all
girls who had not reported for pre

time.

At a recent meeting of the members
of the Buffalo, Alumni Club of the
University of Kentucky it was decided
that this year the club would increase
its service to the graduates of the
University. Since in the past mainly
those men who had been graduated
from the College of Engineering of
the University of Kentucky had gone
to Buffalo, the whole club was familiar with those openings for graduates
which were along engineering. Hence
the placing of engineering graduates
was the main activity of the club
along this line. This year it is the
plan of the club to extend this assistance to the graduates from the
other colleges of the University.
In this field the Buffalo Club long

creasing of the service to include
those graduates from the other colleges is a step in advancement for
the club.
The placing of graduates of the
University of Kentucky should be one
of the major activities of every club
and Alumni organization and it is an
activity that offers a great field of
service for the Univresity. Each year
there are young men and women graduated from the six colleges of the
University of Kentucky who are fitted
for almost every calling and profession. They are young men and women who in the future will bring credit
and fame to the University of Kentucky and the state.
In this placement service the Alumni who live in Kentucky should also
take a most active part. It is for
them to find positions for the graduates within the state. This will not
only benefit the graduate and university but in the end will be of great
benefit to the state. The major portion of each graduating class should
be kept in Kentucky for the good of
the state and its advancement.
