HERE SHALL THE KERNEL ALL
STUDENT RIGHTS MAINTAIN
WELCOME HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS
Displaying basketball ability which The Kernel hopes will later find its way into material
for the University team, the regional basketball
champions of Kentucky will play for the state
championship this Thursday, Friday and Saturday on the Alumni gymnasium floor.
Every spring at this time the best basketball
teams of this state gather on this campus for the
tournament play. And with the teams come
scores of high school students eager to cheer
their team on. University students should remember that they are an example to these high
school pupils. A cordial word from the University student is appreciated, and should be extended sincerely. They are the future students
who will matriculate here.
To the visitors, The Kernel extends a sincere
welcome. They come ambitious, eager, loyal in
support of their team. The Kernel too shares
their enthusiasm. Even though but one team
can win the championship, all 16 teams have
already proven their athletic superiority. Even
though the adage be trite. "May the Best Team
Win."
CHALLENGE
Twenty years ago,
Harvard presented an
pened to mention the

TO THE PRESS
when President Eliot of

address in which he hapword syphilis and gonorrhea, a Boston newspaper, horrified, deleted all
reference to the speech. In 1934 the National
Broadcasting Company refused to allow medical officers to discuss the subject of venereal
diseases over the radio, fearing criticism from
listeners.
The fact that venereal diseases affect approximately 10 percent of the United States' population, that syphilis produces death or chronic inof those affected, and
validism in
that every year there occurs a total of 518,000
fresh adult infections has been known to medical men and social workers, but until recently
the public has been neither informed nor offered aid in a forthright manner concerning this
first class menace.
Throughout the country today, progressive
newspapers are launching campaigns against
venereal diseases, presenting information, advice, statistics, and aid to the average reader.
Encouraged by Dr. Thomas Parran, head of the
U. S. Public Health, surveys revealing the prevalence of venereal diseases, their causes, and
cures, are being published in an effort to throw
over the taboo concerning these diseases, a taboo which has been responsible for much of the
havoc caused by these.
Carl Warren, of the editorial board of the

New Yofk Daily Newt, which presented one of
the most influential and valuable venereal disease campaigns, recently said, "I am convinced
that the crusade against venereal diseases, now
flaming everywhere, will be the No. 1 health
campaign of the next decade and that the press
it must do its part if these
will do its part-- as
scourges are to be stamped out. Medical science has had the weapons to conquer syphilis
at least for 25 years, but the disease is rampant.
Who? Because the enemy has not been brought
within the range of those weapons. The doctors cannot win this battle alone. You cannot
kill a tiger when he hides in the bushes. Someone must drive him into the open. That is the
job of the press, the radio, the screen."
Here is a challenge to newspaper which they
must accept if they are to serve their true purpose. Medical science can wipe out venereal
diseases if it is given the opportunity. It is up to
the press to make that opportunity, to break
down the taboo which is barring progress, to
make the public take action against the menace
which is so prevalent in the United States today.
