A young Wildcat mascot, given to
SuKy circle by a Cincinnati alumnus of the University, was formally presented to representatives of
the Circle at the half of the

Cincinnati.
According to members of the
Circle, the cat Is young enough to
be tamed, and will probably live
longer than past mascots. The cat
obtained last year was nearly full

display and soon died from being
in captivity.

said yesterday afternoon.
These plans, which call for a
brick structure approximately 100 feet wide and 150 feet
long, will be submitted to Gov. A.
B. Chandler at Frankfort within a
month's time.
The cost of the project will be
divided between the State and Federal governments, with the State
paying for materials and the Federal government paying for the labor through the WPA. The materials will cost about $10,000, Dean
Graham said.
In addition, plans for a future
swimming pool to be built later,
south of the proposed field house,
to
will be drawn and submitted
Oovernor Chandler.
"Although both sets of plans will
be submitted at the same time, the
construction of the field house is
the Immediate project," Dean Graham said. "We hope to have the
field house fit for use by March,
1937, so it will be available for
spring football practice.
It will
cost less than half of the $100,000
which Is the amount needed for
the swimming pool."
The field house will be available
for use as Indoor tennis courts,
handball courts and as a soft ball
field when not In use by the football squad. It will also be possible to construct a cinder track
around the inside of the arena for
track practice.

the ceiling will be truss braced
and high enough for balls to soar

for the players' feet.
The proposed swimming pool will
be 60 feet wide and 50 yards long,
according to plans. It will be constructed as an addition to the field
house. Seats for spectators will be
built along both sides of the building, running lengthwise.
Shower rooms, a water purifying
apparatus, and locker rooms will be
built beneath the seats.
"Providing new locker and shower
rooms In the swimming pool building will do away with the use of
the nearly worn out showers and
lockers in the basement of Alumni

in discussing the project.

Man. Woman Will Be Awarded Prize For Selling Most

Placards

In an effort to reach more Independent students In selling football tags at all home football
games, Lamp and Cross, senior
men's honorary, will aid ODK in
the tag project by offering extra
prizes to encourage their sale, it

was announced yesterday.
Two round-tri- p
tickets and two
admission tickets to the Tennessee-Kentucky
game at Knoxville on
Thanksgiving Day will be offered
one to the Independent man and
one to the Independent woman
selling the most tags at home
games this year.
The annual tag sale Is sponsored
by Omrlcron Delta Kappa, national
men's honorary fraternity In campus leadership, and all proceeds will
go to the fund which was begun
several years ago for the proposed
Student Union building. This year,
as in the'past, two large loving cups
will be given by ODK to the fraternity and to the sorority selling
the most tags for the season. As
construction on the Student Union
building Is expected to begin around
the first of next year. It is hoped
that in this short time allotted to
complete the fund, students will cooperate by buying the tags and
thus do their part in providing
equipment for the new building.
Approximately
$200 was raised
from sale of the tags last year,
which was the third year that the
project had been carried on. The
tags usually bear a Wildcat head on
one side and on the other a statement of the objectives of the fund
being raised.

Doctor Vizetelly not

only rcfutces this charge but says the "newspapers are the father of the language," that they
are "powerful factors in increasing the average
person's vocabulary" and that each year sees
them adding words to our language which eventually are accepted as part of our idiom and are
included in our dictionaries.
It has been quite common for some persons
outside the profession to adopt a supercilious
and condescending altitude toward newspaper
writing. They regard it as something done in
haste, ground out as part of routine, bcrcfit of
every quality of good literature, hence, of no
permanent value to the reader who seeks to improve his mind. We have always resented this
notion and to find Doctor Viciclly as an ally is a
distinct pleasure.
In a recent article he reveals that a child of
six knows 1,000 words. The average American
workingman has a vocabulary of 5,000 words
and the average newspaper reader understands
and uses from 8,000 to 10,000 words. Lawyers,
0
ministers and physicians know upwards of
words, or alout as many as ShakesKave
used. Newspaper editors have an average command of about 50,000 words and every well-reaperson should be able to define and understand about 40,000 words. Woodrow Wilson
used more than 60,000 different words in three
of his historical works. Considering that there
are approximately 1,000,000 words in the English language, it is quite evident that the best
read of us know and use only a few comparatively.
But, as Doctor Vizetelly points out, the average daily newspaper is not only well written
but its repetition of new words gleaned from
science, the arts, industry, sports and even the
underworld, enriches our language by about
3,000 words a year. "Every year a large army of
new words endeavors to find a home in our
language," he says, "and most of these are originally brought to our attention by the daily
newspapers. The daily press has helped to elevate both the tone of thought and speech. The
idiom of today, the terminology of the times,
frequently becomes the literary word of tomorrow. Our speech is like the tide, ever at ebb and
flow and the newspapers are its masters."
To the scoffers that's Vizetellying them!

books which states that all employees in restaurants, soda fountains, etc., periodically must
submit themselves to physical tests so that it
may be ascertained if they are free from certain
contagious and infectious diseases.
The problem then presents itself somewhat
as follows: Should or should not cooks, waiters,
and everybody who is involved in the preparation and serving of food in fraternity and sorority houses be required to undergo physical
examinations which would parallel those given
restaurant employees.
It would be a relatively small matter for the
University dispensary to give these physicals,
and the value of them might, soon or late, be
measured in human lives and not in the pecuniary matter which would be required for
initial outlay and maintainance cost.
