The President, Ed. Dabney, Senior

As the Athletic Association had suggested that a man be elected to put
pep into the rallies held In Chapel and
on the ball grounds, Emery Frazier
was elected to All the place.
It was then suggested that certain
old traditions of the Senior Class be
revived and a motion was made and
carried that at the first football game
of the season the Senior men "bossom
forth in corduroys, canes and what
mustaches can be raised in that
length of time" and that the Senior
women, "the fairest flowers of the
land," coe out clad in trim corduroy
skirts, brown in color but unlimited ai

The subject of Senior Court was discussed and a committee composed of
drover Creech, Emery Frazier and G.
F. Martin was appointed by Dabney
to have an interview with President
MoVey concerning the matter.

Hon. Edward J. McDermott, of Louisville, formerly Lieutenant Governor
of Kentucky, will make the opening
speech of the ye'ar to the Democratic
Club of the University Friday night
at 8 o'clock in the chapel. He will be
Introduced by Colonel Ronald C. Oldham, of Winchester.
Mr. McDermott is known to the
Democrats of the State as a leading
attorney and the member of the Constitutional Convention of 1891 who
drafted the greater part of the present
Constitution. He was Lieutenant Governor under Governor James B.
and candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor four
years ago.
All men and women of the University who are interested in political principles and issues are invited to hear
Mr. McDermott. The club will elect
officers for the year at a meeting to
be held in the near future, as the
