DesDite bad weather and n number of other handicaps, The Kampus Kat, published Dy the Kentucky chapter, Siirma Delta Chi. international pro- fessionarjournalistic fraternity, made its appearance as scheduled at the Centre game last Saturday. Although The Kat upheld its repu tation as the "scandal sheet" of the University, the humor and pictures contained in its eight pages were remarkably clean, and not the slightest hint of expulsion has yet been received by any of the editors. Despite the fact that The Kat only cleared 10 for the publishers, Sign.n Delta Chi intends to publish another and much better ono sometime in the near future, with the consent of the University authorities. Only 1,100 copies of Tho Kat were sold but everybody seemed well pleased with tho paper, and only compliments have been heard in regard to It. HOLD AMATEUR U. K.

STROLLERS WOMEN The men's debating team of the University will meet tho British wo man's debating team in a contest at tho Henry Clay high school nt7:30 o'clock on the evening of November 9. The British team is a very strong one, being composed of Miss Nancy Samuel, Somerville College, Oxford University, Miss Margery M. Sharp, Bedford Colelge, London University, and Miss Leonore W. Lockhart, Gir- ton College, Cambridge. Miss Samuel has spent a great por tion of her life in the Holy Land and in Egypt. Her father is the Rt. Hon. Sir Herbert Samuel, G. C. B., who was a member of the British parliament until 1918. In 1920 he was appointed High Commissioner for Palestine. Miss Samuel went to Oxford in 1925 to study for the School of Politics, Philosophy and Economics. Miss Samuel, with her background of close association with national and international politics and widespread travels, is well prepared to meet effectively the opposition of our debat ing team. Miss Sharp, the second member of the debatine; team, has chosen the lit erary field for'her life work. She has also traveled a great deal, having visited Malta and several other distant places. She has been connected with "New Troy" and "The Grantq," and has contributed to "Punch" and "The Spectator." Miss Lockhart is the second child of Captain Murray Lockhart, R. N. of n Milton Lockhart, the head of a Scottish lowland family, and a great nephew of the distinguished and biographer of Scott. From her earliest years she showed an unusual facility of speech, a faculty she owes, probably more to her Irish blood on her mother's side than to the less articulate Scott. She has spent several years in Africa where she learned the spirit of independence. Beside living in South Africa she has traveled frequently on the Continent, but this is her first trip to America.

Following this, the club will exhibit its cosmopolitan and international relationship in tho form of a talk by Mr. Lei Liang Chow. Mr. Chow is a very learned Chinese student v. ho iB now enrolled at the University and his treatment of American problems is interesting indeed. He is able, as a foreigner, to stand apart and view the situation from an unbiased and detached position. Mr. Chow will give his impressions of an American presidential campaign.

Of course Johnson, Treiber, and Forquer are nursing injuries which will handicap them, and Portwood will not be able to play, but the Blue and White is still going to be a mighty hard team to score on.
