According to the present plans the

university life; entertainment and
other features.
Recently a questionnaire was sent
out by "School and Society" to one
hundred of the universities having the
largest enrollment. Of these institutions approximately seventy-fiv- e
either had freshman week already or
were planning to inaugurate it this
year. The questionnaire revealed further that every school which had tried
it in a systematic manner was in favor of the plan.

A roller skate derby, that's the
latest feature to be arranged by
M. E. Potter, director of
athletics at the university. The
idea was adopted from Big Ten
institutions but being in Kentucky,
it is naturally a "derby," regardless of what it is elsewhere.
The events will be arranged so
that both boys and girls may compete in the contests which will be
held following the return of students from Easter vacation.
According to Mr. Potter, the derby should prove to be a big success if students here evince the interest in the contest which students in other institutions have

years, to play the 'Cats and hoping to

The one time that the Wildcats
have been able to silence the heavy

was in 1924. On the other 11 occasions that Wolverines have met Wildcats, the Wolverines triumphed, sometimes by victories that resembled two
or three touchdown runaways.
Michigan has always been noted for
the prowess of her baseball teams
and the big league calibre of some of
her individual players. George Sisler, now a first baseman of the St.
Louis Browns beat Kentucky in 1915
on Stoll field. Sisler, who captained

(CHAPTER VI, CONTINUED)
"By individual letters addressed to
the Senators before the eighteenth of
November, I had anticipated most of
the vital points in the manifesto and
had done much to explain and concil
iate. I argued that while the denominational colleges had done a great
and indispensable work in laying the
foundation of the classical and liberal
education which the Commonwealth
required, the time had come for a
new departure in education, for the
endowment of which Congress, under
the act of July 2, 1862, had made
provision; that Kentucky's allotment
of land had been practically wasted;

the modern type. When the legislature" assembled, the outlook
was

for the members came in by every
mail, protesting against the 'iniquity
and the continuance of the tax. To
add to our embarrassment we had
been misled by our architects. The
buildings were only half completed
and the money was all expended. It
became apparent that unless we could
