U. K. Library Boasts Collection

Of Rare and Valuable Books
By Sara Elvove
The library of the University
although unusually small, has managed to place on Its shelves books of
every description, type, subject and
color conceivable. There has arrived lately a Portugese grammar.
The most Interesting collection of
books, however, are those books
which, on account of their rarity
and value, are separately shelved
in a small bookcase located behind
the desk of the librarian. On .account of the value and fragility of
these books, the bookcase Is kept
under lock and key, but the key may
be obtained for the asking.
One of the interesting books to
be found there Is a small directory
for the city of Lexington for the
years 1838 and 1839. The book itself
Is small, much handled and
the preliminary paging

Is given over to advertising the

stores and articles to be found In
Lexington. At the top of the first
page, there is a picture of a huge bee
hive, placed upon a marble bench,
and surrounded by roses and shrubs.
Beneath It, In great black letters, is
the very appropriate slogan: "In

The regular meeting of the English club will be held this afternoon
at 3 o'clock in room 211, McVey

As March 5 Is the anniversary of
the birth of Michael Angelo, the
program for today will be devoted to
a review of his life argf works. Mrs.
Lowell Robinson will present a discussion of the life history of the famous painter and poet, and Norman
Neff will give an appreciation of
art and his poetry. The chairman
of the program committee is Mrs.
Byron H. Pumphrey.
Refreshments will be served at
the conclusion of the program.

Seventh Annual Institute to
Convene at University Under Direction of Ezra Gillis;
Uij? Delegation Expected.
The seventh annual Institute for
Registrars will be held at the University the week of April 1 to 6,
under the direction of Ezra L. Glllls.
Last year there were representatives present from 20 states, and an
equally large representation is expected for the meeting this spring.
Five regular courses will be presented at the institute, each course
meeting dally. They are as follows:
"Principles of University and College Administration," by President
Frank L. McVey; "Problems of College Organization and Administration," Prof. F. W. Reeves of the College of Education; "A Course In
Elementary Statistics For Registrars," by C. C. Ross, professor of
educational psychology; "The Professional Functions of the Registrar," by Ezra L. Glllls, registrar;
"The Technique of the Registrar's
Office," by the officer of admissions
and the recorder of the University.
The first period probably will be
devoted to registration and to a general meeting, when President McVey will make a short address of
welcome.
Fuller details of the program will be announced later.
The Institute was inaugurated at
the University and is held here annually. The courses include discussions of problems of administration
and the work of the registrar. Former meetings have been attended by
college presidents, registrars, deans,
and graduate students. There is no
charge for tuition, and the only expenses Incurred by those in attendance are their living expenses.

Members of the SuKy Circle chose

The Old South has forgot Young
Strlbllng for the time being nnd
today sportdom turns to the court
for the opening gesture of the

Conference
basketball
tournament in Atlanta. Yesterday
as the first rays of the sun gained
the summit of the ancient municipal auditorium, Coach John Maurer
and ten Wildcats stepped from the
fast Ponce de Leon limited and lost
themseelves to the public until this
afternoon at 2 o'clock when the Big
Green Wave from Tulane washes
against the Wildcat fur In the second game of the tournament. The
old auditorium has housed the tournament for the last five years.
A few weeks ago the boys from
New Orleans began their activities
in the Mardl Gras with a 33 to 19
victory over Kentucky in one of the
roughest games of the season. Dees
and his fellow football players were
substituted in a vain effort to stem
the tide of defeat as ten husky
Wildcats entered the brawl. Today
the conflict will rage on a neutral
court. Spectators will not crowd the
sidelines and the floor will be regulation size. At Tulane the fans sat
close to the court. The court was
a third smaller than regulation.
Due to Coach Mauer's proposal,
ten Wildcats, instead of eight, were
allowed to make the trip to the
tourney. Last season it was against
the conference ruling for any team
to take more than eight men to the
tournament.
Those favored were
the two McGlnnises, Spicer, Combs,
McBrayer, Milward, Owens, Trott,
Dees', and Glib: Manager Griffin
and Trainer Mann also accompanied the team.
A basketball tournament is one of
the many uncertain things in this
life. Last year a Kentucky team
completely outclassed its first two
opponents and reigned as a favorite
to cop the title. Along came an unconscious pair of forwards, Phillips
by name and twins by nature, from
Ole Miss to throw basketballs over
their heads, between their legs into
the baskets from all angles, to defeat Kentucky and Auburn before
winning the championship. Two
years ago a Vanderbllt team lost
consistently during the season and
then won the tournament. Lost
season Auburn had as an impressive
a record during the season as
Washington and Lee has this year.
Auburn won the first three games
at Atlanta by one point and then
lost to Ole Miss by one point in the
finals.
By "experts;" Kentucky is given
only an outside chance of winning
the tournament. The odds are
against the.Mauermen winning the
tournament.
Local opinions naturally favor the Wildcats in their
first games. Thus the consensus of
opinion gives the Blue and White
an excellent chance of going to the
finals, but a slim chance of winning
the championship. Georgia Is expected to defeat Auburn in the first
round and to renew her old feud
with Kentucky. These teams have
never failed to meet in the Southern Tournament. Kentucky has lost
to the Bulldogs only once. The
third game should pit Kentucky
against the North Carolinans, onetime conquerors of the Wildcats by
27 to 1C on the local court.

Bridge Tournament Suggested
To Brighten Dull March Days
By Colonel Martin It. Glenn
While Old Man Sol gaily plays
with intermittent
rains and sklfts of snows and the
season for the raccoon is gradually
being supplanted by the season that
partakes of the essence of spring,
students are vexatlously concerned
as to how they will be able to pass
away with Joy the windy month of
March.
The curtain of time has been temporarily lowered upon local Wildcat
activities. Baseball, track and the
spring races do not start until April.
With the exception of the state
high school basketball tournament,
which is scheduled for the Ides of
March, there will be no athletic exhibitions at the University during
the month.
Although the social calendar is
overcrowded with "hops" and
"brawls" at this time of the year,
it seems that some sort of competitive indoor sport should be adopted
in order to alleviate the strain of
scholastic burdens. Of course sorority houses are often the scenes
of extremely interesting struggles,
but these combats are not usually
subject to public exhibitions, al

though "lovers" cups are frequently
awarded the victors.
bridge tournament
An intra-murduring this dull period would arouse
the interest of tho student body and
create a sensation in the college
world. The tournament might be
staged in the Roller Gardens, on
West Main street, and an appropriate prize, such as a trip to
might be awarded the
champion.
In the event that this suggestion
deis approved by the intra-mur- al
partment, I would suggest that the
following rules of play be unanimously adopted:
1.
Pick up your cards as dealt.
You will be ready to bid before the
others.
2. If your hand is rotten, mention it. It will guide your partner
in his bid and play.
3. If your partner bids first don't
hesitate to raise. He has to play the
hand.

a university or college. There are. of course, a few who think that
too much attention is paid to athletics. Another few think that
not enough attention is paid to athletics. The large majority of
Alumni, friends, faculty and student body, however, believe that
athletics at the University of Kentucky are on the proper plane
and are satisfied with the condition as it exists.
There is one matter, however, that has brought forth a great
deal of criticism from a great number of Alumni. That Is the
failure of the University of Kentucky to attract the greater portion of outstanding athletes from Kentucky. Alumni accuse the
University of letting these outstanding athletic lights drift into
the teams of other universities and colleges. This is a condition
that Alumni can only blame themselves for.
The Alumni Office and the Athletic Department of the University receive letters almost every day from interested Alumni
telling of some outstanding athlete that should come to the University of Kentucky and wear the blue and white. Now the Athletic Council always is glad to have this information and in its
limited way tries to influence the prospects to come to the University of Kentucky. When a particular athlete is persuaded to
go to some other institution the alumnus who suggested him is loud
and long in his criticism of the University and athletic authorities.
The one who should have influenced that athlete to come to
the University is the alumnus in his own home town. He knows
the prospect, knows his capabilities, his financial condition, and
his preference as to the university or college. He knows his parents and knows best the avenue of approach that will influence
that particular man to dnter the University off Kentucky. In
several communities in Kentucky are Alumni organizations of other universities and colleges. These organizations interest themselves in obtaining suitable athletic material for their own institutions and do all In their power to influence athletes to enroll
there. Consequently while some of our interested but more or
less inactive Alumni are writing criticism to the University, alumni
from some other institution have made off with a prize athlete.
College athletics is a necessary part of a university or college.
Successful teams are the desire of every alumnus of every institution. Kentucky so far has been far behind the place she should
hold. This has resulted from a shortage of athletic material.
At this time each year the outstanding football, basketball, baseball or track man Is considering where he shall take his higher
education. For the most part they are not sure where they want
to go or will go. Now Is the time for Alumni of the University
of Kentucky to do their part in the building of a successful football, basketball or baseball team. Expend the same amount of
energy in personal appeal to the prospect that would be expended
lh criticising the system here and we venture to say that there
will be an increase in athletic material on the campus of the
University of Kentucky next fall.
