This Issue

The greatest flood disaster in the history of our
state has fallen upon Kentucky this week. All people
must rally to the aid of their fellow citizens who have
been affected by this catastrophe. The University of
Kentucky will do its part, as it has always done. It
must do it more extensively than ever before. To that
end, I am calling upon students and staff to assist by
contributions for flood relief. Money will be. very much
needed.
In addition blankets, clothing and food will be required. Insofar as possible students and staff are
asked to send their contributions of this kind to the
University Buildings and Grounds Department on
South Limestone street.
I am urging students to remain here. Efforts will be
made to contract communities in which they live, so
they may know what the situation is. For students to
go home would place a burden upon the community to
house and feed them.
The deans of the different colleges and heads of administrative departments will call upon members of the
staff to make money contributions. Student organizations will be asked by the Dean of Men and the Dean of
Women to receive such contributions as students may
make to this cause.
Information concerning these matters may be secured from the President's office.

In response to a mesage from
Acting Oov. Keen Johnson of Kentucky, Pres. Frank L. McVey called
a meeting this morning of the deans
of the various colleges of the University, the dean of men and the
dean of women, the registrar and
the business agent of the University,
to confer with him on plans for assisting In flood relief.
As a result of the conference, this
special edition of the Kentucky
Kernel has been edited by staff
members under the direction of
George Spencer, editor, and Ross
Chepeleff, managing editor, to Inform students, faculty members and
townspeople of the procedure to
follow in cooperating wnn me university In the matter of sending assistance to flood victims,
"please read the columns of The
Kernel carefully and follow the
plan outlined by officials of the
University in their efforts to be of
help to the state in the present
crisis.

of the flood In
An
Louisville, James Shropshire of The
Kernel business office told how
Louisville appeared last night while
he was waiting for trains to bring
him back to Lexington. At the hotel
in which he was staying were quartered many refugees from homes
which were under water and who
had been rescued by the organized
squads of men and boys who traveled throughout the city in taxis
and buses attempting to aid striken
families.
"The hotels were dark, and the
elevator service was stopped in an
effort to conserve power In the city,"
he said. Restaurants were closed,
windows were boarded up, and the
few stores which remained open had
to sell goods In partial darkness. "In
an attempt to keep heat going In
buildings, the fire department was
recruited to pump water out of the
basements." he continued. "No people could be seen in the streeU, at
ail, and taxis and buses could be
eye-witn- ess

seen traveling through the city,
filled with' furniture and boxes. It
looked as though Louisville was
having a general moving day."
In Louisville for the Kentucky
Press association convention, which
was suspended due to the flood Mr.
Shropshire had to wait for six hours
before he could get a train from
Louisville, and it took more than
ten hours to make the run of eighty-fiv- e
miles back to Lexington. At
times it was necessary to run f
heavy freight engine over the track
before the train could continue, to
test the strength of the rails.
"The great need In the city," Mr.
Shropshire said, "is food and clothing, since the hotels cannot feed
all the refugees from the supply
now In store. Field kitchens have
been set up in public buildings for
many of them however." Passing
through Frankfort, he saw families
being removed In boats from houses
which were filled with water, and
an especlaly strange sight was the
