COUNTRY IS CALLED
LAND OF PARADOXES
Economic and Political Con
ditions at Present Are
Discussed
Speaking on the modern political
and economic conditions of Norway,
Ben Blessum, head of the Norwegian railways In the United States,
addressed students of the university
at their December convocation at
morning in
10 o'clock Wednesday
Memorial halt Mr. Blessum, a native of Norway, was brought to the
university as the concluding speaker on the fall program of Pan
Dividing his address into four
main approaches to conditions In
Norway, Mr. Blessum first fixed
firmly for his audience the location
and extenslveness of the country In
which he was born. The students
were reminded that the country,
with its 12,000 miles of coastline,
has a more scattered population
and greater distances within its
bounds than any other European
country except Russia. With more
than half of its area lighted by the
midnight sun, Norway consists of
large portions of high mountain
ranges, numerous rivers and lakes,
many rich virgin forests, and land
of which only four per cent is suitable for cultivation.
The country of Norway Is a land
of paradoxes, Mr. Blessum said, and
he Illustrated some of the seemingly
impossible things existing there.
The northern tip, 1200 miles nearer
the pole than the southern portion

has higher temperature throughout
the year than the southern section.
Similarly, the speaker explained
that the growth of grass during the
length of one day may be measured
as a result of the effect of constant
sunlight Also, the waters of the
fjords, fed by streams of mountain
glaciers, are much warmer than the
ocean only a few miles off the

coast.

and politics, the
visitor showed the progressiveness
of the Norwegian people. Even the
Laps, the migratory Mongolian people of the northernmost part, have
their migratory school which follow
the herds and give instruction to
the Lap children. In their political
relations,
the Norwegian people
have a representative government
in line with their highly individual
istic and independent natures. In
the composition of the governing
bodies, each group having more
than four per cent of the voting
strength of the country is repre
sented in that body in proportion
to its strength.
Interesting also to note, according
to Mr. Blessum, is the maritime
prowess of the inhabitants, who
rank fourth among the mercantile
In education

powers of Europe. With Norwegian
inventiveness and desire to try out
schemes, Mr. Blessum told of the
development by his countrymen of
the whaling industry and of the
new methods and improved equip
ment which are largely responsible
for the production of
of
the world's whale oil supply by Nor.
way.
Mr. Blessum concluded his address by stating various facts concerning the power development and
railway construction problems pe
culiar to his country, and extended
an invitation to members of his
audience to visit Norway during
two-thir- ds

their spare time and to enjoy the
many features that Norway offers
its visitors. Ben Blessum, who hap

been in America for several years,
is holder of the order of Saint
Olav, received for services to his
native country.

the Y.M.C.A. of the university at 4
o'clock Sunday afternoon, in Memorial hall, will be adapted from
three old York mystery plays dating back to the 14th or 15th centuries The presentation, directed by
Marlon Galloway, will follow the
old English form a closely as possible, with only such modernization
of language as will be required to
make it comprehensible.
The history of the plays takes
one back to the early middle ages,
when the clergy conceived the idea
of acting out scenes from biblical
history at mass. Later these dramatizations became so popular that
they were presented on the church
porch so that more people might
attend. For a long time the acting
was done only by the priests. The
people, however, showed great pref
erence for the comic scenes and in
time the priests gave the dramati
zation over to the towns people entirely.
The plays were given in the town
of York on Corpus Chrlstl day, the
Thursday following the ninth Sunday after Easter. Each trade guild
in the town contributed to the production, furnishing the actors and
wagons in which it was performed.
and financing it. The city officials
'supervised It, selecting the most capable actors. The parts of the town
desiring presentation were required
to petition for the performance.
There was a different set of ac
tors for each act of the play, which
was given on a wagon Improvised
for a stage. The first act was
at 4:30 o'clock in the morning.
When it was finished at the first
station, the wagon moved on to give
at the
the second performance
next station en route, while the
second act was presented at the
first place. Thus the plays went
the round of the city. This cus
tom was begun about 1350 and was
finally given up about 1590.
The pageant which the Y.W.C.A.
and Y.M.C.A will give Is taken from
plays from the
the
Chandlers', and the Goldsmiths'
guilds. The adaptation has been
made to coordinate these Into one
play. The story begins with the
entrance of Mary and Joseph into
Bethlehem on the Eve of the birth
of Christ and ends with the adora
tion of the Wise Men. This quaint
story of the nativity will be presented almost as those Yorklsh men saw
it five hundred years ago.

the 1932 football team at the an
nual football banquet held Wednes
day night in the Phoenix hotel.
A sophomore for the grid cap
taincy is an unusual thing, and it
speaks well for the popularity of
the heavy guard from the Hoosicr
state.
His consistent playing for
nearly 60 minutes of every game
during the past season won for him
the admiration of his fellow team
mates. George Skinner, a product
of Henry Clay High school and
John Heber, has played his second
season for the Blue. While not
naturally a football player, his
heady work has placed him on the
first string and merited him the
votes of his mates.
Wednesday's banquet is said to
have been the most successful held
in honor of the football team, although fewer than 25 townspeople
turned out. Members of both varsity and freshmen squads together
with sports writers, were guests of
the Athletic council.
Judge Richard C. Stoll, university
alumnus and star of a Kentucky
football team of the "90's, was master of ceremonies. In his opening
remarks he stated that this year's
team Is the greatest Kentucky has
had since the years he played.
The first speaker was Pres. Frank
L. McVey, who said that he had
hoped that this would be one affair
at which he would not be called
upon to speak, for he feared that
persons about the university heard
from him entirely too often. He
continued by saying that football
Is an important part of the university and that he was grateful
for the services rendered by the

has been equal to the work of the
average student, and that is an
achievement you may be well proud
of considering the time you spend
in developing yourselves for the
sport."
Oold footballs were then presented to the 10 seniors by Bernie
Shively, line coach. As each departing senior rose to receive his
award he was given a big hand by
the banqueteers.
Coach Harry Gamage. in his
speech, reviewed the past season
and complimented the work of each
player. He expressed his gratitude
for the way the team work throughout the season in spite of the critiCaptain
cism he had received.
Wright, according to Gamage, was
the finest leader he has had worked with since he has been coaching.

STUDENT DRINKING
The question of drinkinn by university students is now one of much
less importance than it has been in
recent years, and this declinliiR
prominence of the liquor question
has been brought about by a decline in student drinking.
Graduates of many years ano recount stories of the drink orgies
which formerly took plnce at the
university, and many of them cannot understand why the present

life without a superabundance
intoxicating liquors. It is our belief that this decline has been
brought about by a more intelligent
attitude on the part of the student
body as a whole, and the fact that
the novelty of breaking the law is
becoming unentertaining.
It is no longer considered smart
to drink, at university functions, and
the student who formerly attended
every entertainment with a bottle
is now regarded as the sort who
lacks either the intelligence or the
cultural attainments to enjoy himself without the aid of whiskey. The
number of consistent drinkers has
so decreased that they can gather

which is more or less separted from
the remainder of the student body.
The Kernel believes that the present favorable situation is not due
to the law which was intended to
bring it about, and that had the
law not been passed drinking would
at present be even rarer in student
circles than it is.
The universtiy has strict drink
regulations which are enforced by
the Men's Student Council of the
university, but cases requiring the
enforcement of- these regulations
are becoming rarer and rarer. A
case of student intoxication has not
come before the council this semester, and not more than half a dozen
cases were brought before the body
last year. Like the national regulation governing drinking, however,
the university rules are not responsible for the present decline.
Students, like other persons, are
motivated by their own beliefs more
than by the dictates of authorities,
and the belief that drinking has
nothing to commend itself cannot
but be held responsible for the
present attitude toward it.
