BEREA COLLEGE O
ON AUGUST 13!

Andrew C. Wallace
Heads Corporation
Former University Student I
President 'of Cinderella
Slipper Shops, Inc.

Arrangements have been made
for a series of intercollegiate debates between summer session students of the University and Berea
College.
Tentative debates have
been scheduled for August 13, one
of which will be held in Berea and
the other of that date Is to be
staged in Lexington.
Debating during the summer
school is not a regular feature In
Kentucky, but it is believed that
much Interest will be aroused by
this forensic endeavor.
William Rldgeley Pierce, of Mott,
S. D., Is the University's outstanding man in the contests and much
Is expected to him. His ability as a
debater is exceptional.
Clifford
Amyx,
University freshman, will
probably see action as a member of
the school's team, as will William
Dysard, who besides being an able
debater, Is out for football.
Bcrea's trio will consist of Escum
Moore andParls Ballou, debaters of
several years' experience. Berea's
third man will probably be a more
experienced man than either of the
two above mentioned.
The subject to be argued Is one of
great, Interest at this time. It is:
"Resolved that the government
should own and operated hydroelectric power sites."

Mr. Andrew C. Wallace, recently
Slipper Shops, Inc., who manages
the central store located in Lexington, has announced the opening of
a new store at Ashland. Mr. Wallace
formerly attended the University.
The second of .the .shops was
opened at Pikevllle about a month
and a .half ago, and .according to
Mr. Wallace, Jias given very satisfactory results, showing that a complete chain of the stores may be
operated Jn the state.
The Cinderella .Sbpper Shop
Company was Incorporated .three
months ago, with Mv. Wallace
and general manager, :nnd
W. W. Peavyhouse as secretary sand
treasurer.
Mr. Wallace recently marled Miss
JBerfcha Peoples, who Is a senior at
the University, and a .member of
the '.Chi Omega .sorority.

Lenore Wilson, of Bowling
Green, a graduate of the school of
education at Northwestern University, and a prominent figure In the
music world, has been appointed
Instructor In music at the University and will commence work In the
fall. She will have charge of the
courses In public school music and
will probably Introduce some new
course of this character.
Miss Wilson is a vocalist ot athaving studied under
tainment,
well-knoteachers in New York
and Chicago. In addition to appearing in recitals at the University she will be in charge of the
Girls' glee club. Between 1923 and
1928 Miss Wilson was a member of
the music faculty at Western State
Teachers' College where she conducted the A Cappefia Choir and
gave various operettas and concerts.
The appointment of Miss Wilson
was made necessary by the greatly
enlarged demand within the last
few years for competently trained
music supervisors and the consequent great Increase in the enrollment in the music department at
the University. Virtually all graduates with the degree of B. S. in
music are placed in jobs and last
year more teachers of this character, were wanted than could be
supplied.
Prof. Carl A. Lampert is nead of
the University's department oS music and besides professional beacher
conrses, cultural courses in various
phases of music are given. In addition, capi'ble students are permitted
to play in the musical ensemble

SOUTHERN FABLES
One of the best known fables spread since the
days before the Civil War Is the story of the beautiful courtesy and Chesterfield manners of the Southern gentleman. Through the years this belief has
flourished, even In the South. Northerners nre greatly surprised to find that all young men from Kentucky, or Virginia, or Tennessee are not perfect
models of the old time hero who bowed from the
waist with a fitting remark upon introduction.
Without going Into a prolonged discussion of what
has come over this modern generation, we can admit
that there has been a very noticeable change In the
manners of the young man as well as a new defiance
in the young woman of today. Nor do we regret all
this, for it has meant freedom and truth from the
bondage of many useless old conventions. However,
at our own University some may sigh for the old
days when a man lifted his hat to a lady, or at least
allowed her room to walk on the sidewalks instead of
jostling and pushing her out onto the grass or road.
One reason for the decline in manners at the University is the lowering of the estimation in which
were once held. Time and again the remark
is made by the Kentucky man student that "Co-ed- s
'don't ask for any respect, so why should we give it.
They don't expect or deserve and special courtesy
from the boys they date and have classes with." If
d
this is true, then it is the
who is at fault, but
there is much proof that these very girls who rush
ahead to open the door and stand while the boys
take all the available chairs at the sorority house,
often wish for the respect accorded their older sisters
in bygone days.

Music, Stage and Screen

William Howard Tnlft, chief Justice of the United
States Supreme Court. In n recent address before his
college fraternity convention, voiced the opinion that
extra cunicular nctlvltlcs arp carried to great extremes In the schools nnd that they waste n great deal
of time and money. The chief Justice believes that
"the war played havoc with a great many conceptions
and we haven't gotten over It yet." He also regrets
the misuse of scholastic opportunities ns practiced by
many students today.
The benefit derived from extra currlculnr activities
Is open to debate, but when n man of the experience
and ability of Chief Justice Tnft voices a contrary
opinion people arc inclined to listen. Some of the
most outstanding objections raised against these
activities arc that the regular curriculum school work
Is overlooked, that the expenditures Involved are excessive, that cliques tend to develop, and that the
same crowd of students belong to all the activities
leaving more timid souls with no chance to belong.
Then again, advocates of extra currlcular activities
argue that the activities tend to develop leadership,
citizenship, nnd physical efficiency.
The question may never be satisfactorily settled,
but too often It has been observed that popularity,
gleaned from wealth, athletic prowess or what not,
very frequently Is considered above real capacity and
ability in choosing a leader In any activity, from a
national honor society to the laying of a cornerstone.

PINES
Dark pines
Huddled on a mountain top
Against the gray sky
Of a winter twilight
Are like tattered soldiers
'
Over a dying campfire.
VIRGIL LEON STURGILL.
OPTIMISM
Who treads a road of Jagged stone
May find therein a diamond set;
Who wades the slough with heavy groan
May pluck an April violet.
VIRGIL LEON STURGILL.
PICTURE
Old man, you are a battered hulk
On the shore of life.
You are like an empty house
With gaping windows
And a rickety staircase.
I hear its rusty hinges creaking
As you hobble on.
VIRGIL LEON STURGILL.

Beauty, music, comedy and tragedy may be found in a varied program ofTcrcd by the local theaters
