Kendal declared that he, believing

he pointed out that the anticipated

the cooperative into a private enterprise. "Not one cent of profit

War Spirit Swept Campus
At Conscription lime In '17
(By BOB AMMONS)

The approach of compulsory military service 23 years ago found the
University In a state of intense patriotism and restlessness completely
opposed to the general feeling of
calm which marks it today.
For, where 1940 students appear
rather unconcerned about the coming registration, those of 1940 were
keyed to a high pitch of excitement,
some even considering a petition
asking for the dismissal of school.
Copies of the Kentucky Kernel for
March and April, 1917. give a clear
picture of the times.
"A wave of patriotism such as the
United States has not seen since the
days preceding the Spanish Amer
ican war is sweeping the entire
country
the time for patience has
ceased
the Spirit of "76 is n
carnated and the martial fever is
abroad in the land." an editorial of
re-i-

April 5 said.
Units Organized
News items of the same paper tell
of other new developments on the
campus, some of them parallel to
current events. A girl's drill team,
s,
composed of 75
was formed,
determined "to drill just like the
boys do." The company was formed
by Dean of Women Hamilton who.
said the Kernel," is of the opinion
that women as well as men should
bear the burden of the great world
war, and that they owe to their
country to be trained and ready
when the call comes."
Other developments following
close behind were:
The acceptance of the University's offer to establish an R.O.T.C.
co-ed-

unit.
Organization
of volunteer drill
units by the law college and other
groups.
Flying of American flags by fraternity houses and "the wearing of
a tiny American flag or shield in
the coat lapel."
Soon, a faculty motion announced
that all seniors leaving to enlist
would be given credit for the rest
of the year's work and would receive their diplomas at the regular
time. Underclassmen were also given
credit for any work unfinished when
they left for training camps.
Enrollment Halved
During the week of April
6,

enrollment at the University was cut
in half, as students took advantage
of the faculty ruling. Soon the ruling was extended to include seniors
and underclassmen leaving school to
put m food or feed crops.
"The young men of Kentucky . . .
can render their country no greater
service than by going back to the
farm and devoting the entire time
an energv to increasing the food
supply of the United States," President Barker said in a chapel address.
By May 3. only
of the
school's enrollment was left and serious thought by both students and
faculty was given to dismissing
school immediately. The movement
was given impetus with the passage
of the draft bill, calling for universal registration early in June.
War Spirit Felt
Even the third who remained in
school were feeling the effects of the
war spirit, and "work in all departments is becoming unsatisfactory j
and a general spirit of restlessness
is seeming to pervade the whole
campus. . . studying has become not
only a hardship but almost an im
possibility." a Kernel editorial said.
Other developments leading up to'
a final climax were:
The disbandment of the band,
since only ten of 40 members were
left.
Cancelling of the Junior Prom for
the first time in the history of the
University;
And finally, the Kernel quitting

Leftist economists interpret our system as one
that must expand to exist. They say it has
reached the limiis of its ex pansion hence is
through. Ihe Administration in Washington
sums this up in its description of our economy
as "mature". With this conviction in mind it
has resorteel to artificial means of sustaining
our economy. At the same time the hands of
tied in more than mere regindustry have
of its abuses so that the natural way
ulation
to recovery has been blocked. Pmsiness has not
stabilised as a glance at any business activity chart will show the graph looking like an
eccentric mountain range.
In 19.'JS business activity was as low as in
'.12, when the New Deal was elected. I am sure
the momentary rises were not all due to government. Now that war affects such industries 5s
steel, etc., the charts are not as reliable. We
stand 17th in all the world in recovery from '20.
Why is it necessary to continue the unpieredent-eexpenditures? Why do we still have 10 million
unemployed? This cannot le explained away
or underestimated. The reabseSrpiion of those
who lost out in '29 has not been achieved.
Dix-the New Deal purport to run on this
record? Perhaps it does not understand our system, as Willkie has charged. Perhaps his
theory is true, lie sees 17 billions
of deillars more than ever before in the historv
of our country King idle in the banks. This is
particularly impressive in view of the estimation
than one dollar of capital is equal to several
of credit.
Worm Pr r Ini f. Capit al To Work
If invested, reinvested, paving wages and other
income, buying gocxls and doing business, this
idle capital would act as a better pump primer
than we have experienced recently. Why? Because it is the normal process of our economy,
the money remaining in the hands of the people
rather than revolving through the hands of
the government as an increasing debt. It might
of our national income
do well to note that
is due to government expenditure debt to yon
anel me. Willkie proposes to bring this idle capital out of hiding, put it to work.
The present administration has maintained a
system of taxation that has not only hindered
business, but made investment in government
bonds more attractive than in industry. This
view is supported bv a recent Brookings Institute
studv. Willkie believes that industry, not government, is the economy of this system that it
should be aided rather than abused. It is a
matter of record that business has been more
willing to cooperate, economically, with govern-methan government with it.
There has been no substantial tlisagreement
over reform, but reform cannot be confused with
recovery fiscal policy bears that burden. Willkie
hacked the reforms long before he considered
the presidency. However, he does have ample
reason for believing more efficient and responsible
administration can be achieved. As to foreign
x)licy, both agree to the gravity of war and its
effects on us. Both favor aid to England and our
keeping out of actual intervention. The claim
to Roosevelt's infallibility in foreign affairs is
