Class Responds and No Loss Results.
A flro which might havo caused
serious damage to valuable buildings
on the Experiment Station Farm was
discovered in the gas engine labora
tory Monday afternoon by a member
of the clags and was put out only thru
the presence of mind and heroic efforts of Professor Kelley and drover
Creech, a member of the laboratory
class.
The class in Farm Engineering was
working with stationary engines in
the gas engine laboratory and the several engines had been started and
stopped by each member until he had
the operations down letter perfect
when some ono noticed flames coming up thru the hole in the floor thru
which the exhaust pipe of the engine
was thrust and the cry of "Fire" was
sent thru the building. The class responded nobly to the call for "firemen" and buckets and even paper
sacks and drinking cups were pressed
into service to subdue the Are, which
finally gave up the ghost.
No damage was done to the laboratory building but the excitement furnished a welcome diversion for the
class and was thoroughly enjoyed by

iasm and competition aro intense. All

been displayed in the history of the

A spirited debate on the League of

Nations, with Professor Farquhar favoring the League, and Dr. Tuthill opposing it, was the feature of the program given at the meeting of the Agricultural Society Monday night.
This was ono of a series of programs given during the last week by
various organizations, on the League,
with a purpose of educating the student body on the subject which was
voted on Tuesday morning by students and faculty members.
Professor Farquhar's talk was a
brilliant presentation of his reasons
for favoring a treaty and a league.
The chief objections, and the reservations suggested were also discussed
by the affirmative speaker. Doctor
Tuthill responded with a spirited answer to the first speech.

Warren, a negro, is known on the cam;

land, commonly
realms of

in Circuit Court and sentenced to Ave
years in the penitentiary.
Warren was brought up on two
charges of burglary. On the night of
his appearance in Patterson Hall, he
succeeded in thoroughly frightening a
number of residents who caught sight
of him, once headed for a fire escape,
and later, trying to hide under a bed
on the second floor. He was able to
escape, however, making away with
twelve dollars.
The next night he entered the home
of Mrs. Fannie Whaley, 341 Harrison
Avenue, and was there captured by
Mrs. A. J. Allen, who held her captive at bay with a shoe horn until
help came.

VOTE ON LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
The Kernel with great gratification learns the result of the referendum
vote taken Tuesday on the questions presented by the League of Nations,
and the interest shown among the students and faculty. It is estimated
per cent of the student body cast ballots on this momenthat eighty-fivtous Issue. An nlertncss of mind, a grajp of the forces working in the world
at present, and an eagerness to express an opinion on a question to which
no intelligent person can be indifferent, is revealed that Is highly complimentary to the voters. It is indeed deplorable that the small percentage
not voting did not do so.
The educational campaign carried on the week preceding the taking
of the vote was highly valuable, giving, as it did, an insight into the problems of today which only men or women trained in a university classroom as teacher or student could understand.
The response to the efforts of the faculty as evidenced by the size
and representativeness of the vote cast by the students demonstrate
are as fully capable of forming worthwhile and unprejudiced
. opinions as are citizens of any other section of our country.
We regret to hear.however, a few scattered complaints that the campaign to inform everybody on the campus, faculty as well as students, of
the issues involved, has been stigmatized as league propaganda, and with
difficulty the Kentucky Kernel suppresses its amusement. In no case ha3
any member of the faculty endeavored to influence the student vote, except in guiding from the errors of ignorance, and leading toward the light
of an intelligent comprehension of the subject. The fact that a majority
of both faculty and students favor an unrestricted ratification proves merely a common feeling after a common understanding of the issues. Explanation is all that has been attempted.
Final results of the vote, which was taken In every institution of
higher education in the United States, is not yet known, but the Kernel
feels sure that Kentucky and the University of Kentucky will have no
reason to feel ashamed of the stand taken, no matter what the result in
other states, because our vote is hone it and our understanding clear, and
the result truly expressive of the opinion which we intelligently and firmly
hold.

NEW HOPE FOR UNIVERSITY.
Never in the annals of the political history of Kentucky has there appeared an announcement which so strikingly belongs to the realm of the
remarkable as did the recent appointing of Republican senators to chairmanships of important committees in the Senate. This was a positive surprise, not only to the Republican party, which indeed in
days
aqtually predicted that the Morrow administration would encounter a policy of obstruction in the Democratic Senate, but to thfj rest of Kenucky, as
well.
This action of the Democratic leaders may be regarded in several
ways. It may be that these leaders, interpreting the
prediction as a taunt, are accepting the challenge, in the Bame spirit, and
with the supposed probability that the other party, given a clear field, will
show inability to carry the responsibility imposed upon its leaders, and
by unwise act, will give its opponents opportunity to say, "I told you so."
To those who are inclined to look pessimistically upon the history of political intrigue, this exp'anatlon may appear p'auslble.
Tho Kernel, which is a
paper, welcomes such evidences
of good faith on the part of thoso in power. It prefers to take an optimistic view in this instance, and to see in this, another exhibition of progressive thought in statecraft and citizenship.
It cannot be denied that there is a positive and increasing interest in
an educated and elevated public opinion which Is manifesting Itself in all
departments of civil life. The Kernel is firm in Its belief that the day is
rapidly disappearing, if it has not indeed already vanished, when intrigue
or any form of unprincipled motive can hope for ultimate success in the
administration of public affairs. With this in mind the writer looks forward with confidence to wise, constructive statesmanship, unbiased by
partisan motive in the handling of the University program of reconstruction and improvements soon to be presented to the General Assembly for
action.

TO EDITOR

OF KENTUCKY KERNEL.

We, the undersigned, charter members of "The Royal Order of Fish,"
having read an article that appeared in the January 9th issue of the Ken- -

tucRy Kornol, under tho heading of "Hopeless Nuts
Form Poor Fish Club,"
fool that wo nro duo an npology.

We have been placed in a rather embarasslng position by some unknown Kernel repprter, by being pubjicly referred to as hopolesa. nuts,
fools, and drunkards.
Had the nnmcs;of tho in.bmWs, 'and aliot purposes
of the organization been mentioned in a conservative way, wo would have
considered the article as a Joke. It Is evident from the language used
by1 the author that ho
relied altogether upon hear-sainformation.
It
seems that he also failed to complete the( roster of members, probably for
the purpose of saving space, thai ho might have sufficient room In which
to elaborate upon his imagined entrance requirements, which he certainly
did in a most slanderous, disgraceful way, leaving nothing unsaid that
would prove derogatory to one's character.
The article has, or will be brought to the attention of our friends,
relatives, and some of our parents. Imagine their displeasure on seeing
our names printed as representatives of an organization that publicly ap
proves of certain degrading vices. The writer has wantonly, and without
cause, stamped our club as a band of
senseless boys, and has
not only reflected discredit upon our character as students, but as moral,
Kentucky gentlemen. Wo realize the newspaper is an instrument by which people may express their thoughts and voice their sentiments as their minds direct, but we believe that articles of this nature
Injures tho spirit of comradeship among students, and reflocts upon the
high standards and Ideals of our beloved University, and therefore should
not have been written.
We know that the purposes of our organization are much better than
the name Beems to signify, and it cuts deep in our
to have
our organization slandered in such a manner. We can enjoy a Joke, and
can even laugh when we are made tho subject of mirth, but this seems to

We feel that the author of the
article has realized his mistake, and we trust he will
repudiate it with an explanation, and apology. If the writer will condescend to do this we will consider the matter closed. If not, then with our
characters as gentlemen at stake, we will be forced to seek reparation in
some other form.

APOLOGY

OFFERED.
It is with much regret and positive surprise that the Kernel acknowledges receipt of the foregoing communication from the worthy membership of the
"Royal Order of Fish" regret that they should suspect any fellow student capable of slandering them as they feel they have
been, and nurprise that their sense of humor did not suggest that the publication was made in a spirit of fun which the writer, in his opaque density, considered manifest.
However, if these gentlemen feel that their dignity has been assailed
and their ornate reputations damaged, it is with great pleasure that the
Kernel takes this opportunity to offer profound apology, and assure Its
comrades that when the Kernel reporter referred to them as "hopeless
nuts," it was in a spirit of levity, and not intended to reflect upon them.
Concerning the other "entrance requirements" mentioned in the foregoing communication, the Kernel reporter takes the stand that their
herotofore for high standing in classes, conquests among hearts of
the fair sex and total abstainance from liquor In any form, make it all the
more evident that it was a spirit of levity which moved him to mention
ability to "drink a quart of whiskey," or "willingness to let women make
a fool of them."
The Kernel wishes to express the sincere hope that this apology will
be sufficient balm for injured reputations, and that they will feel that they
have been restored to former pinacles of respect occupied before publication of the derogatory article.
If, however, this humble explanation is not
and the assigned are "forced to seek reparation in some other form," we will take
pleasure in giving the sufferers the name of the charming young woman
who wrote the bastardly scandal. Ed.
