The following article, written by
Jack Rash, a student at the University, appears In the August Issue of College Humor, as well as a
large picture of the author. He Is
now In Europe, conducting his division of Toy Sandefur's Kentucky
Rhythm Kings.
"I was born In 1909 at Henderson, Kentucky. It's a quiet little
country town, good for business and
strong on the social end, with the
country club always the hangout
In the summer. I think-- ' It's best to
grow up in a small town, because
you get closer to, nature and you
seem to have a better home life and
greater childhood adventures than
the average person In a city like
New York.
'Dad Trent to the University of
Virginia and played football, so It
was taken for granted that I'd go
to college too. I didn't have to run
away from home or ,arve or anything like that. I'd seen the University of Kentucky once or twice before I entered, but you can't learn
much about college life in the summer when all the fraternities are
closed, so I was as green a .freshman, as the rest. I think the only
thing I thought about the university before I went ther was that I'd
have" a big time.
"I had it. Arriving as a freshman,
it was one big rush, with fraternities taking you places and everything unsettled. It was a new kind
of a "big time" for me, since I wasn't used to It. The social side of college turned out about as I had imagined. As for studies, before I entered I had expected them to be
hard, but that was all I'd thought
.concerning them. You don't worry
much about studying when you're a
freshman. At seventeen or eighteen
you don't realize how serious a matter it is. I spent my first year going
around to sorority houses. At Kentucky you can drop in any time and
dance or talk, and now and then, a
sorority holds open house for a fraternity. After about a year of this
a freshman gets disgusted, having
learned by his years' experience,
and settles down to work.
a university
"I don't believe
changes your opinions at all. I've
studied a little science, but I still
believe in God. I think the evolution theory is true, but I still believe in religion and I think the
only reason older people quarrel
about this is because they haven't
studied what they're talking about
My family mean the same thing
they meant before college; nothing
has happened to make me ashamed
of them, and they're well satisfied
with what I've done so far.
"The same thing applies to my
ideas on marriage. Companionate
marriage, free love and all that
bunk? It seems to me natural to
settle down when you've married
at some sort of position in life. I
may get married before I'm able
to support a family, but I doubt it.I
had this idea before I saw a university, and I still have it, and so
do the majority of people at Kentucky, The girls in our part of the
.country are different from the ones
in the fiorth. Once, in a while you
will find one like Charlsey Smith,
who was May Queen, sponsor of
the band, a big figure in women's
student government, and made a
lot of honors, but most girls come
to. school for a good time and nothing else. The one's with no money,
who have had to make an effort to
come, work at school, but the others
are like those from Louisville; there,
boys and girls have to go to separate high schools, with the result
that when they graduate, they come
to the university because they want
to go to school together. It's something new. In the South, women
dont go Into business as much as.
they do elsewhere, being far more
interested In social things. Among
wealthy girls it Is about the same,
but the middle class of poor Northern girl hasn't anywhere near the
social life of the average Southern
girl. It Isn't money. It's family. I
don't even know exactly how we
judge families, but they are simply
good or bad and everyone knows
which. No one goes around bragging
about his family, hut you know ,the
people you want to run around
with. This idea is slowly breaking,
but it holds still. It holds, too, in a
small Northern town, but with this
difference. Up North it is a big
thing to run around with a girl who
owns six Packards. In the South
you might want to run around with
her and the Packards, hut unless
she was O. K. always, you slatply
couldn't get away with it, not even
if she were one of the cute little
fecalnine, women who rate so highly
in the South.
"We like our women to be women,
not athletes. Because of this, there
is a feeling at Northern universities
tliat .we do a lot of hot love malting,
but I don't think there's so much
of it., You can't get in with a Southern, girl unless you've been Introduced, to, her. And no one te going

And it's summer in Kentucky.
The smooth, white stretches over
Rolling hills in beds of clover.
Here sleep fields of verdant soil
Tilled by sturdy sons of toil.
Cattle browse beneath the shade
Of spreading oaks and maples tall;
on drowsy wing
The bees
Are sipping at the dewey grass;
The heart of nature leaps and sings
And smiles upon it all.
Then it's summer in Kentucky.

That trickles down the hollow,
Across the. sands, through rushes cool
Where lazy pigs can wallow.
Life is at best, and we are lucky

1928-192-

The University placement bureau,
in charge of Prof M. E. Ligon, nationally known educator, placed every well trained graduate from the
University who applied for positions
last year. Of the total of 128 plac-in9,
24 were to adminin
istrative positions, such as superinor principals of schools.
tendents
Besides securing Job for teachers
of 'purely academic work the bureau
also places athletic coaches and
band and orchestra directors. The
usual salaries run from $125 to $150
a month, however one beginner received a starting salary of $3,000
per annum last year. The coaches
receive as starting salaries approximately $175 a month and upwards,
while band directors are the most
highly paid of all at the present
time, due to recent interest in this
type of school work and the lack of
material available.
The service of the bureau Is free
of charge to all persons who have
attended classes at the University,
and many teachers maintain their
listing with the bureau and often
find advanced positions. While most
of the Jobs secured are in Kentucky quite a number are given
places in neighboring states.
Professor Ligon is state chairman
of the committee of accredited relations of secondary schools for the
Southern Association of Colleges

Rev. R. H. Dawgherty, Methodist Minister, Pronounces Invocation
"What Is the Spirit of Art?" asked President McVey at the second
summer school convocation held
yesterday In Memorial hall during
the fifth hour. The word "art" expresses our relation to the beautiful, and Is often regarded as something ephemeral or or extraneous,
yet, nothing is more lasting than
art, "all passes and art alone endures."
A number of visitors were present to hear President McVey give
his Interpretation of the art spirit
in relation to life. Although we are
living in an age of machinery,
there is a comparatively small connection between human being and
machinery, Dr. McVey said. The
movie, radio, airplane, and other
inventions have a more standardizing effect on the mind and
thought, while art teaches the
meaning of life.
Art is illustrated by the painter,
the poet, and the musician, each
longing for the harmony and beauty of

relations of every day, life brings a
great gift to us.
philosopher said,
A renowned
"The mind of man makes his
world." With the God given gift of
thought man imbues his world with
beauty. Beauty is here to see and
when he grasps the harmony of
the world his heart and his mind
are filled with it. When the art
spirit claims him, a new attitude
appears In man's relation to his fellows and his own heart responds to
the doing of every thing he sets his
hand to do with thoroughness, honesty and care. He does it because he
wants to do It. He glories in the
work and the result. ,He is an artist.
Living Is thus freed from drudgery.
Life becomes worthwhile because it
can be lived beautifully.
When the art spirit becomes dominant and men are filled with it,
pessimism disappears and the machine age has no terror among men
living up to their highest possibilities. This way of looking at the
influence of the art spirit is given
to us in the summary of a poem
called "Colors," by Phoebe Crosby
Allnut:
"To the Glory of God
In loving memory of
My days on Earth."
President McVey bade every on6
become the apostle of this old but
ever new spirit, carrying its truth
into every walk of life.
The Rev. R. H. Daugherty, pastor
of the Maxwell street Methodist
church, pronounced the invocation
at yesterday's convocation and Dr.
W. S. Taylor, dean of the College of
Education and head of the summer
school, made announcements and
introduced President McVey to the
summer school students.

(By W. II. Dunn)
There Is some controversy in the
only available historical sources
that we have as to the extent of
Gen. John Hunt Morgans campaign into Ohio during the Civil
War, and there is also some debate
as to how the maneuver ended. Did
the daring Confederate general surrender to Major Rue, or did he surrender to Captain Berbeck? Did he
reach Salincsvllle on that dashing
campaign or did he surrender 15
miles south of there? These questions are warmly debated with good
evidence on each side.
Capt. J. Eastin Keller, Lexington,
Ky., maintained that Morgan surrendered at Salinesvillc, Ohio, and
that he surrendered to Captain
Berdeck, commander of the Columbiana county militia. Captain Keller
was a Confederate veteran and was
a member of Morgan's army. He
was Morgan's aide de camp on the
Ohio venture. Recently he made a
speech to the Daughters of the
Confederacy of Lexington in which
he revealed these facts:
Morgan marched Into Ohio with
about 1,700 men. They rode and
fought almost constantly for 16
days. At Buffington Island on July
21, 1863, this dauntless little army
fought for two hours with 10,000
United States infantry, 3,000 cavalry, several batteries of artillery, six
gunboats, and all of Governor
Brough's 100,000 militia that could
mass itself against the small army.
Morgan ost most of his men. He

escaped with about 300 men and
Colonel Clough with about the same
number. Later these forces combined, and with 50 guns captured a
whole regiment of Union volunteers.
The brave little army then moved
on Into Ohio.
On July 26 the small group of
Southern Spartans were fighting
their way northward through Columbiana county. Neither they nor
their enemies wore uniforms. Many
would
times
the
Confederates
march along with an army of Yankees, the Yankees thinking that
Morgan was a Union man. On this
particular day Morgan fell in with
Captain Berbeck and marched with
him into Salinesvillc Morgan surrendered to Berbeck on the condition that he could make his own
terms. Berbeck met with these conditions. And according to Captain
Keller he surrended to Captain
Berbeck of the Columbiana county
militia.
anniversary
On the forty-secoof Morgan's surrender a tablet was
unveiled at Trumbull farm, 15 miles
south of Salinesvillc Major Rue delivered an address there on that occasion and stoutly contended that
Morgan surrendered to him there.
Which place did Morgan surrender?
Morgan's army went farther into
Union territory than any other
Confederate unit. If he went to
he went 15 miles farther
into the enemies' line than he is
given credit for.

FROM
ANCIENT CAVE

University Scientist Unearths
Valuable Evidences of
Ancient Life on Trip

CAVERN LOCATED IN
LEE COUNTY NEAR ZOE
Relics

Are

Covered

by Six

Feet of Ashes Which
Preserve Them
W. S. Webb,

professor of physics

at the University, has recently re

turned from Zoe, in Lee county,
where he has been unearthing ancient relics and evidences of an ancient race. Prof. Webb states that
he believes that these archaeological evidences will prove of great
value to the study of ancient man.
Indian moccasins, bone artifacts,
fabric, arrow shafts, one of which
had the head attached, fragments
of deer and buckskin were among
the discoveries made by Professor
Webb. All of the articles were fairly
well preserved by a layer of ashes
nearly six feet deep which covered
the ,floor of the cave.
proressor weDD is elated with tne
discoveries made in Lee county and
believes the relics some of the most
valuable ever found In Kentucky.
However, he would not discuss certain phases of the work until more
definite knowledge ft obtained from
study of the articles unearthed.
As in a cave recently excavated
by Dr. W. D. Funkhouser and Prof.
Webb, the latest home of early man
was filled with pouches, file pits and
caches where' ancients hid their
treasures, much as the modern
housewife places things in the bureau or kitchen cabinet.
One of the unusual finds made
was that of an arrow with the shaft
attached. Many shafts were found,
but this was distinctive from the
others in being complete.
The fact that many artifacts
found in the cave hark back cen
turies while others were those of
Indians of more modern times was
explained by Professor Webb to be
a result of the queer method of
"spring house cleaning." When an
ancient woman wanted to clean
house she did not sweep out the
ashes which had accumulated during the winter, but with sand or
clay, covered the ashes. Thus many
civilizations made their homes in
the same caves, covering ashes as
they went along and leaving this
imprint of history.
perhaps a squaw would .be sewings
skins with a bone awl and when she
finished would place in on a rock.
Later it would be swept into the
lLt.es, covered with sand and re
mained there until Professor Webb
or Dr. Funkhouser arrived on the
scene, found it and thus learned
something more about ancient civilizations. This happened to numerous other household articles.
A rock found near the ash caves
on which were carved the feet of a
man and bear is being moved to
Lexington, where the scientists can
make a closer study. The rock Is en
route here and will arrive next
week. It weighs more than 1,000
pounds. Professor Webb is not prepared to say what generation it was
when the rock was carved, but believes that further investigation will.
give an answer to the question.
Some of the pictures Professor
Webb has brought to Lexington are
almost weird. They show the bones
of men who lived thousands of
years ago. Taken by a special camera, every fragment Is plainly
in the photographs.
That some of the specimens of
civilization date back thousands of
years is seen to be a certainty by
type of or lack of artifacts. In
some instances, it was found that
some ancient races had no pottery'
of any kind, but used gourds almost

i

exclusively.

Another peculiarity of the ash
caves was the fact that in one the
bones were almost entirely those of
women and children, while in another all were men. A number of
inferences can be drawn from this
strange discovery.
That scientists encounter many
difficulties when searching
for
traces of ancient man was explained by Professor Webb, who said persons near the caves believed one
of three things about the explorers
that they were searching for the
Swift silver mine; that they were
revenue agents using their work as
a ruse or that they were prospect
ing for oil. It is necessary to edu
cate the natives to the fact that
they are actually looking for traces
of ancient man before work can be
sucessfully done, he said.
Although there are Innumerable
caves yet to be explored In Lee
county, Professor Webb decided
early in the spring on another trip
for the summer, so left Wednesday
with his son, William Jr., and Lee
Miles, of Eminence, for Logan county to explore a number of mounds.
Professor Webb will plot the extensive field of mounds on a map and
probably start an excavation, doing
as much work as possible before the
start of the second semester of
summer school. He will return to
the University and Dr. Funkhouser
will take up the work.
There is boundless sources of prehistoric evidence in Kentucky and
it should not be disturbed except by
experts, Professor Webb said, in
commenting on the fact that so
much valuable material was destroyed by persons who did not realize the importance of the artifacts.
Dr. C. N. Kavanaugh, who returned earlier in the .week, Lee Miles,
and William Webb Jr., were with
Professor Webb on his exploration
trip in Lee county.

Day after day the golf courses are crowded with
men and women who think the passage of 24 hours
will somehow or other have cured that slice.
Honesty is defined by the very learned Mr. Webster
as freedom from guilt or fraud. He neglected to say
one thing, freedom from money.
And it's Open House night. We hope all the visitors live appreciated the display, and haVe been successfully deluded that all laboratories arc a lot of fun
and no work. (At least, that's how It seemed to us
not so many years ago.) And to the prospective frosh,
remember, contribs are always a source of Joy to the

HOW DO YOU STAND?
Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, "I find that the
great thing In this world is not so much where one
stands, but in what direction he Is moving."
Think it over, where are you standing, in what direction are you moving?
To "stand pat" Is a good thing In Its place and
a good thing when used with "common sense." To
hold one's ground in the face of a world of opposition is one of the bravest things anyone can do
when he knows that he Is right. To hold one's ground
when the opposing factor has proved In "black and
white" that, a certain thing Is a fact, "standing pat"
then ceases to be a brave thing and becomes "hard

Not to have a mind of one's own to own one

Critics lack the initiative themselves to put their
ideas across, but when another who has the initiative
steps in and does his best, they are ready to pick the
faults. In the words of Holmes, one of these men
stands, and the other is moving in a certain dire
