EASTERN GETS PRESS MEETING PROGRESS IS REPRESENTED

leges Represented.

BAND SPONSOR

SEE MAMMOTH CAVE

At the fall session of the semi- annual convention of the Kentucky Intercollegiate Press Association, held on the campus of Western Kentucky State Teachers College, Bowling Green, December 11 and 12, Eastern was named as the host for the spring meet.

The fall K. I. P. A. delegates were guests of the "College Heights Her- ald," journal of Western Teachers. Meetings were held in the Herald office and In the Log House, where the delegates were served at the closing get-together on Saturday at noon.

Out of the eight schools in mem- bership of K. I. P. A. only five were represented at the meeting. The as- sociation is composed of the four teachers colleges, the University, Georgetown, Transylvania, Centre, and Kentucky Wesleyan. The five delegations to appear in Bowling Green were: Eastern, Western, Muurray, Kentucky, and Transyl- vania, with Eastern having the larg- est represenation of any of the vis- itors. I Eastern sent four delegates with Dean W. Rum bold, faculty sponsor, to act for the Eastern Progress. The four representatives of the Progress were Harold Prim, editor-in-chief and secretary of the association, J. E. Hall, business manager, who act- ed as the voting delegate, William Martin, associate editor, Allbert W. Crumbaugh, sports editor, i Due probably to inclement weath- er, none of the delegates appeared for the opening program of the con- vention Friday morning, which was to begin registration at 8:30 and continue thru noon luncheon at 12:15 p. m.

The feature entertainment for the convention was scheduled for Friday afternoon. The delegates left the Log House at 3.00 p. m. to take forty mile tour to the New Entrance Cave of the Mammoth Cave Park

. area, near Cave City. Thru courtesy pf George D. Morrison, manager of New Entrance Cave, the press dele- gates were the guests of the Mam- moth Cave Development Company, and were guided by Professor Geo. E. Wood, head of the department of geography at Western.

See Floyd Collins Cave Descending at 5:30 p. m. on the

first lap of the cave trip, the dele- gates emerged at 7:30 p. m. to start the second subterranean jaunt, which ended at 11:30 p. m. After the two trips an assembly was held at the New Entrance Hotel, where a box lunch and coffe were served before the departure lor Floyd Col- lins Sand Cave at 12:00 p. m. Here a vivid explanation and view into the eighty foot shaft sunk to recover Collins' body, was given by Mr. Wood. He described the strange cir- cumstances which resulted in the horrible fate of Collins while he was in search of a new cave more beau- tiful than his own Crystal Cave, his present tomb.

Points of interest in the cave tour included Cathedral Domes, Frozen Niagara in onyx. College Heights avenue, and Crystal river, 350 feet below the earth's surface, on which the delegates were given a boat ride over the waters of a stream which has a depth of sixty-eight feet and a yearly temperature of fifty-eight degrees.

The Saturday morning business meeting of the convention, held at 9:00 o'clock in the Herald office, was presided over by the vice pres- ident of the association, Mary Jo Lafferty, University of Kentucky, in the absence of President William Ardery.

At this meeting there was much discussion in force over election of a treasurer for the association. Two were nominated for the. post by the nominating committee, Lawrence Herron, Kentucky, and Herman J. Perdew. Murray. Perdew wqn_ the| election at withdrawal of Herron.

Filibuster Attempted It became necessary for Vice

President Lafferty to declare a re- cess in order to quell a filibustering act of J. K. Morgan, University del- egate.who was attempting to favor Herron in a speech for time in wait- ing for the appearance of another delegate from Transylvania, who, it was believed, would cast Che decid- ing vote for Herron.

After the recess was taken up and the expected delegate had not put in an appearance, Herron withdrew and allowed the election to proceed In favor of Perdew.

In connection with the office of treasurer, a motion was carried be- f re the convention that the by-law of the constitution providing that the treasurer be bonded, be struck from the bill. Committees appoint- ed by the acting president to dis- cuss other motions and matters of importance before the convention were named as follows:

Nominating committee for treas- urer: Hall, Eastern; Morgan, Ken- tucky; Lafferty, Western.

Resolutions committee. Perdew,

RURAL SCHOOL CHIEFS

Dr. H. L. Donovan left Monday to attend the annual Convention of State and County Supervisors of Rural Schools of the Southern States, held in Montgomery, Ala., where he spoke last night on the subject of "Educating the Teacher for Progressive Public Schools."

Dr. Donovan is attending the con- vention at the invitation of B. L. Parkman, director of teacher train- ing, State Department of Education, located to Montgomery. This marks the second trip this month to Montgomery for Dr. Donovan. Three weeks ago he and M. E.

The "Negro in Art and Literature' was the theme of the program of the regular luncheon-meeting of the Canterbury Club Tuesday night, December 7, in the recreation room of Burnam Hall.

Miss Jane Rowlette, in discussing the literary productions of the na- gro race before the Civil War, pointed out that in that period practically the only contribution was the hymns, better known as "spirit- uals," which, according to some crit- ics, are the only true folk songs that America can claim.

In a discussion presented by Miss Betty Jo Boleyn, the leading negro contributors ta art were character- ized briefly. Chief of these artists were Phyllis Wheatley, an early poet; W. E. B. DuBols, novelist, edi- tor, and educator; Henry OTanner, painter; Frederick Douglas, orator; and Mattie Fuller, sculptor. C>

Christmas Play Is Given for Charity

"Little Town of Bethlehem", Christmas play directed by Miss Pearl Buchanan and sponsored by the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. was given in the Hiram Brock auditorium De- cember 9, 1931.

The play, written by Katrlna Trask, was presented by Ben Greet players Christmas 1909.

About twenty-six characters ap- peared on the stage. The costum- ing, scenery, and skillful i.,anipula- tlon of the lights gave the effect of a finished work by a competent road company.

EASTERN TEACHERS COLLEGE'S CONTRIBUTION TO MOUNTAINS OF KENTUCKY HAS BEEN LARGE

Eastern; Herron, Murray; Prim, Kentucky.

Committee on matter of Wesleyan not having sent delegates to any convention: Patterson. Western; Holliday, Transylvania; Martin, Eastern.

Committee on convention site: Crumbaugh, Eastern; Perdew, Mur- ray; Morgan, Kentucky. K. I. P. A. Constitution Committee

The committee reports followed after a 15-minute meeting of each, and the first to report was the con- vention site committee, which gave unanimous vote for Eastern as host to the spring convention on invita- tion of President H. L. Donovan.

Following that report, the Wes- leyan committee made the decision that Wesleyan should be allowed a chance to send delegates to the spring convention before any move toward expulsion be taken.

A special committee on the mat- ter of publication of the K. I. P. A. Constittulon was appointed to make Investigation and pass the Job over to the lowest bidder. Reports are to, be made to Harold Prim, secretary, before further action on' letting the contract.

The press meet was brought to a close with a luncheon at 12:30 p. m. Saturday in the Log House. Presi- dent H. H. Cherry, Western, was not present to greet the association, but James Shropshire, director of publications. University of Ken- tucky, addressed the delegates on the subject of "Benefits of the K. I. P. A." E. A. Jonas, editor of the Louisville Herald-Poet, spoke the fi- nal words before adjournment.

By WM. CHEEK When we gaze back through the

pages of our state's history to the beginning of its settlement, we may see groups of redblooded fighting settlers entering through the Cum- berland Oap, the gateway through Churchill's "Blue Wall", and pass- ing down the "Old Wilderness Trail" to the earliest settlements in the Bluegrass section of the state at Boonesborough and Harrdstown. Some of those settlers did not reach the Bluegrass, but remained in that folded section of the state and built cabins and founded homes in the valleys of the' streams which drain the western slopes of the Cumberland range. Much of that fighting blood remains in those mountains to this day.

Some novelists show a tendency to paint this section of the state as a sort of Devil's playground, or Hell's half-acre, where the boys and girls go barefoot the year around, crack chestnut burs with their bare heels in the fall of the year, andi the babies cut their teeth on rifle barrels, where the natives plant their crops with a shotgun, and must look up the chimney at exactly twelve o'clock to see the sunrise, which happens also to be the sunset.

If such conditions actually exis- ted in the mountains, the moun- taineer would move on as in the be- ginning when he was inspired. by a Divine discontent, an Inward rest- lessness, a craving for something better. Those mountaineers were working for better living conditions, more conveniences, and a higher calling. Schools were established and roads constructed, for the mountaineer has long since learned that much of the mountain land is good for but practically two purposes, * to exercise mountain goats on, and to serve as road beds, Since mountain goats are not raised hi eastern Kentucky, the roads no longer run up the creeks, nor do the creeks run down the roads.

EASTERN Is the training school for the teachers of the mountains of eastern Kentucky, and the teachers are the social and religious leaders who set up new standards of civilization, of right and wrong, of good and bad. They are the prime factors in the movement for progress. They hold the future of the mountains in the palms of their

hands, for the school is the civili-

zation of tomorrow in the embryo. Eastern Kentucky's mountains with their"wealth and woe, their mines and rivers, their shipping, their railroads and telegraphs; with their thousands of men and all the science and progress of the ages will soon be given over to the mountain schoolboy of today.

Wisdom is an extraordinary phenomenon In Nature, and it comes from only one place—the minds of educated men. Educated men are the only open minded men. They cultivate the habit of success, and guard against the habit of failure. Nothing succeeds like suc- cess. It is s£l person's thoughts which determine his character and destiny. The teacher advises children and adults how to plan their life, religiously and morally, as an engineer plans the construc- tion of a building.

Eastern might be termed an edu- cational Messiah of the mountains of eastern Kentucky, and her stu- dents as educational disciples who teach a useable, vital, alive, active, and practical education, which solves the problems of civilization that is moving—a civilization in which the only thing which does not change is change itself.

The Divine discontent produced by education moved our """mtnln families from the log cabins with the puncheon floors, where our grandparents cooked their food over an open wood fire and read their Bible by the light of a pineknot torch. Into the breat brick homes of today, with their hardwood' floors, gas fires, and electric lights. It moved the mountain children from the little log school in the dale, where they memorized the three "Rs", into the modern consolida- ted school, equipped with labora- tories for instruction in the sciences of Nature.

• If I were an artist, I would paint two mountain scenes of the same spot on one piece of canvas. One scene on the left half and another scene on the right half of the can- vas. In the first scene I would paint a little log home of sixty years ago. The cracks between the logs would be clunked with clay mud. A blue column of smoke would be curling from the stone chimney at the end of the cabin. The mother wearing a sunbonnet

Arrangements for Christmas pro- grams for both the Elementary Training School and the Model High School are being completed this week, by the various grades and clubs, and December 18, is to be made a gala day for the closing day of school before the holiday season starts.

The pupils of the Elementary School, under Superintendent R. A. Edwards, will have a program in each room around a Christmas tree. The first and second grades will have their program at 11:00 a. m., and the intermediate grades, Includ- ing the third grade will have their program at 1:00 p. m.

Students" of the Model High School will open a program at 2:00 p. m., in the assembly room of the University Building. This program will consist of demonstrations of the various activities carried on by stu- dents clubs and societies. After the formal course of the program is completed, the high school also will have a Christmas tree, which will be a group tree for all in atten- dance at the exercises. Student ushers have been appointed to show the visitors through the University Building In order that they may see the improvements which have been made during the past summer. Also, the visitors will be escorted by the ushers to the Training School Lib- rary and the newly constructed lab- oratory rooms of the high school building.

Tea will be served all visitors in the Home Economics room of the Cammack building, and invitations are cordially extended to all patrons of the school, relatives of high school boys and girls, and to those members of Richmond, who once attended school In the Old Central University. o

Mrs. H. L. Donovan Is to be hon- ored by the dedication of the 1932 Mileston to her when the year book comes from the publishers in the spring.

The seniors, it has been reported, wish to bestow this honor on Mrs. Donovan because of their apprecia- tion for her friendship and Interest which she has shown the class thru the four years it has been at East- ern.

Heretofore the Milestone has been dedicated to some outstanding member of the faculty, and last year it was dedicated to Mr. Meredith J. Cox, professor of chemistry of the institution, in whose depart- ment two students took first and second prizes In the National Chem- istry Essay Contest last year. This year the senior class has broken away from tradition, and has named Mrs. Donovan, first wife of a president of the Institution ever to be chosen as the prominent one to whom an Issue of a year book , has been dedicated..

The- vote for her was unanimous when her name was submitted, and while she has not been the first lady to have a volume of Eastern life and activity dedicated to her, she will be the leading lady of the Maroon campus for the academic season of 1931-32.

Dr. L. O. Kennamer, class faculty sponsor, in further business matters of the November meeting, dis- cussed the plans for the annual theater party, which will probably include a trip to Lexington and a visit to the Kentucky theater some time In the near future. This event is generally celebrated as Senior Day. —O —

Miss Nettinga is Heard at Eastern

Miss Cornelia Nettinga, soprano soloist, was presented in a song re- cital in the regular Eastern Teach- ers College assembly In the Hiram Brock auditorium this morning, and each of her offerings elicited much enthusiasm from the audi- ence.

Miss Nettinga was formerly con- nected with Berea College and is well-known here. . At present she is the soloist in the choir of the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian church at Louisville and sings regularly over radio station WHAS.

The first group of songs on the program rendered by Miss Nettinga was composed of "Will o' the Wisp" by Spross. "By the Wandering Waters," Smith; and "In Italy" by Boyd. The second group contained "Hills" by Forge, "The Pool" by Stewart, "Rain" by Curran, and "Wild Geese" by Buchanan.

A group of three Christmas songs was sung by Miss Nettinga as the final part of her program. They were "Under the Stars," an old French carol; ' "Oh, Holy Night," and the selection from Handel's Messiah, "Come Unto Him." For an encore she added another Christ- mas carol, "Holy Night." O

EASTERN STUDENT WEDS Miss Madge Patrick, student, and

Chapel Sings The Monday assemblies of the past two

weeks have been devoted to community sing- ing in chapel instead of formal programs. These Sings are to aid the annual revival of Christmas spirit. Of course there are always some people that won't join into the spirit of the things. M.r Van Peursem will vouch for that, but as a whole both sings were successful. The last week's Sing was noisier than the first, so to be on the safe side, it had better be said that the latter was an improvement over the first. It shouldn't take but a few songs, such as were shown on the screen, to have everyone up and at 'em, and singing as loud as the fellow nest door—providing he's singing loud enough. Such songs as "Jingle Bells." "Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly," "We Three Kings of Orient Are" have enough Christmas spirit in them to make everyone leave his proverbial shell and indulge in a song with the rest of the audience. It might go so far as to make some of these pleasingly plump men want to play Santa Claus for the Girls in Burnam????

It is the object of these Sings to help each and every student here at Eastern get into the swing of holidays and have such an enjoyable time during the Christmas vacation that when school reopens everyone will start all over again with renewed interest.

/These Sings have taken to the student body so well, why not continue such programs more often. A Sing once a week or at least once a month, given like the Ones already mentioned, would create more interest in the so-called singintfSaefore each chapel program. Why not contin

call the freedom of their native home, and after a day of hard drill, seek to dispel weary thoughts of soldier life by opening a small bottle, and invite a few friends to sit with them, at once the meddlesome D. V. C will appear on the scene, and with injunction, 'Beware of strong drink,' persuade them to partake of 'the fluid that will not tangle the feet.'

"Now for some of the younger members we can find an excuse, but for others there is none. A man of years, even though old age is a time for reflection, should remember that he too was young once and that cigarettes unless used ex- cessively are harmless.

"Why, then, should one remain unsatisfied while his fellow student has a single cigarette upon his person and continue to plead with him until he has persuaded him to give it up.

"Gentlemen, one and all, we beg of you bear with the follies of youth; continue to do good by advice and example, but by all means use discretion in redeeming your fellowman."

Y. M. & Y. W.C.A. Christmas Tree

There is a co-educational organization on this campus to which you need no introduction —the Y. M. & Y. W .C. A. There is how- ever a phase of its work which perhaps you are not so well informed about; each year this group of people have prepared a Christmas Tree in Bumam Hall to which is invited the children of this community who would other- wise have little of the Christmas joy to which children look forward from one year's end to the other.

Last year forty children, ranging from the ages of five to twelve or thirteen, were brought to Bumam Hall for the party. This year on Thursday afternoon, December 17, a similar group, of otherwise forgotten children, will

come agam. Due to the fact that the children who at-

tended last year disfigured the recreation room by leaving dirty finger prints on the walls and posts, the place for this year's party has been changed from the recreation room to the laun- dry of Burnam Hall.

For children who have to live in dirty homes where poverty surrounds them the year around, it seems that no state institution should refrain from giving to these children at least a few hours of pleasure in a room that is attractive to them.

Even the lowliest of mankind can appreci- ate beauty, and where in a laundry room can beauty be found?

This being a state institution the taxpayers pay for the upkeep of the buildings. It is the duty of all individuals to keep these buildings looking their best. College students know this,' yet they continue to scar the chairs, and to dis- figure the walls and floors. The destroyed property is replenished, and the walls and floors are redecorated, when such is needed, nor are the students prohibited to use the build- ings again. Where does the difference lie? Is there any difference when the state pays for repairing property which has been destroyed by educated people, or by little children, whose failure to respect public property lies only in ignorance?

GLEANINGS

Rightful Criticism? From a certain article in volume one of the

"Cream and Crimson," year book of Old Cen- tral University, first published in June, 1895, it may be found that the youth of that day faced practically the same sort of ridicule from certain cynical elders as the youth of today faces. Students of college campuses today are severely criticized for merely being youthfully human. That criticism can mainly be traced to elders who have forgotten their none too sterling pasts, and who persist in allowing their minds to become narrowed to the extent where any little act from young people which seems the least out of the way is regarded as an out- growth of the devil. Apparently, as they would-have it, we are "hell-bound." But let us reprint the article headed D. V. C. from an unknown writer of Old Central. It deals with subjects which youth find to be matters of grave concern with overlords who fail to see two sides to any question.

The article referred to as headed D. V. C. is, viz.:

"Whenever a number of young men are as- sociated together there is expected as necessary accompaniment the usual number of 'pranks,* Ae natural of that animal spirit inseparable from youth.

"As such is a privilege accorded to young men, ,it is beyond our understanding how any people should band themselves together for the suppression of such harmless practices, and, by their puritanical disposition, look upon life in such a way as to be constantly nagging their fellow beings to leave off the levity of the world.

A state-wide campaign for improved sani- tation in homes tuid public places has been in- augurated by the state board of health, and the Madison county health department is co- operating.

It would be just too bad if they made a visit to Memorial Hall, or is it the state makes exceptions in its own institutions.

Carter is Heard in Chapel Talk

A. B. Carter, professor of agricul- ture at the Eastern Kentucky 8tate Teachers College, reviewed in an address delivered in the college as- sembly December 7 the program made In the past few years in the growing and harvesting of wheat and corn.

Since 1900, he said, the farmers have been able to Increase the yield of wheat by over two bushels per acre due to improved methods de- veloped by the state agricultural ex- periment stations.

New strains of wheat have also been produced by scientific experi- ments- and these have greatly In- creased the area of territory in this country on which this crop can be grown.

Mr. Caner aisw c>ld of the in- vention of the McCormlck reaper and reviewed the development of the methods of harvesting wheat from the time when it was done by hand down to the present-day ficom- blne" which will both cut and thresh an acre of wheat each three-quar- ters of an hour.

Com may be more Important in this country than wheat, Mr. Car- ter suggested, "but," he added, "we don't know any more about grow- ing it than the Indians did if we belleve.tbe early historians.who told of yields of 100 bushels to tthe acre."

As a contrast between the uses of corn and of wheat, Mr. Carter brought out tthe fact that we may have a bumper crop of corn and never have too much. This is be- cause corn is used to make many things besides bread.

Representatives of several student bodies, in conjunction with officers of various young peo- ple's organizations, constitute a local branch of an organization known as Allied Forces for Prohibition, having branches in 261 cities of the United States. The movement is non- partisan, and its slogan is "Whenever a poli- tician or an executive officer or a political party prefers the liquor traffic above public morals, such men must be set aside and such parties abandoned."

The Sigma Pal Sigma held their regular meeting Dec. 8, in the Weaver Health Building gymnasi- um. The constitution, which was drawn up at the last meeting, was adopted. A game of "Hit Pin Bom- bardment" was played with great enthusiasm by the members of the Club.

The story of an Alaskan youth who traveled seventeen hundred miles from Sitka in a six- teen-foot dory in order to attend school at the University of Oregon rather puts to shame the tales of our grandfathers who boasted of traveling twenty miles for an education in the good old days.

Soup kitchens and shows will be established on the campus of Oberlin College. Hunger- stricken students will find help thru this work, which is sponsored by the 'Student Council.

Students must shed vests in the sanctum of the Columbia University library. The students must either retain their jackets or divest them- selves' of both coat and jacket. The idea is that a "vestless" or a "jacketed" student body makes a more favorable appearance.

HERSCHEL McKINLEY was seen to bring MAUDE MCLAUGHLIN to the presentation of "Elizabeth the Queen" after it had started so that JEAN 8TOCKER would have to usher them to their seats. BETTY BAXTER told DICK VANHOOSE that she knew she had beautiful eyes, but that none could compare with his. Betty must have discov- ered that GEORGE FTTZPATRICK had beautiful eyes, too, or perhaps a huge roll of bills, for it was no- ticed that she went to the movies with him Sunday.

BUD ADAMS fell for EVABELL FRANKS in the cafeteria the other night. These Adams' Just won't be- have.

LIONS CLUB MEETS ON CAMPUS

i. The Lions Club of Richmond held its regular meeting in the Home Economics Department Thursday night! December 10. The Home Ec- onomics Club served dinner to six- teen members. _^"

The Library held a Book Fair in the Library Science classroom the last three days of Book Week. This was a project worked out by the different classes In Library Science. Each class developed one certain phase of the work. The class taking the course to Library Administration planned the details of the Fair, arranged furniture, hung posters and arranged books and flowers.

The books on display were nearly all new books which had been re- ceived" by the Training School Library. A few of the most Inter- esting old books were shown. Types of books which were shown at the Fair were:

Illustrated Books for Children, On Strange Lands, Biography, Books for Home Library, Reading for Fun.

The classes of Mrs. Tyng and Miss Hansen, in elementary and In- termediate education, donated the use of posters which had been made by these classes. Some of the grades of the training school also loaaned booklets and posters. The Freshman girls to the Library Science Classes- acted as hostesses.

This was the first project of this kind undertaken at Eastern.

BOOK REVIEW

Marie, Grand Duchess of Russia. Education of a Princess; a Memoir. Viking Press, 1930. $4.50.

One of the last of the Imperial family of Russia, Grand Duchess Marie writes her own story and that of Russia during the darkest years. As a child she enjoyed no real fam- ily life, no contact with normal chil- dren, nor did she ever learn the true value of a home. Many unusu- al experiences came to her, how- ever.

Brought up by an aunt who seem- ed to resent her and her brother's presence to the household, who, as- sisted by English nurses, held them to a very rigid and strict discipline, suppressing any self-expression or independence on their part, Marie and Dmitri lived their early years in various palaces, experiencing one tragedy after another—the banish- ment of their father because of his second marriage to a woman not of the royalty, the assassination of their uncle, the utter failure of Marie's marriage with Prince Wil- liam of Sweden, the war, in which the served untiringly as a Red Cross nurse, and the gradual dis- solution of the Romanoff family.

The collapse of the czardom and the advent of the Bolshevikl brought the Grand Duchess Marie's affairs to a crisis. She had married again, this time a nobleman of Russia, and they made their escape together. Thruout the story one Is conscious of the princess' loyalty to her coun- try, and that nothing has shaken the love and faith she bears for her native Russia.

Here to America, after her re- sources were gone, she went to work designing fashions, and now, thru a wider experience with life and people, her education continues.

Told with candor and sincerity, the grand duchess has portrayed her life with vividness and simplicity, depicting the political situation in Russia during one of Its most In- teresting and crucial periods.

The Mirrors of 1932. Anonymous. Published by Brewer, Warren and Putnam N. Y., 1931.

This is another of those famous "Mirrors" which reflected life In Downing Street and life in Wash- ington during and Just after the World War. In "Mirrors of 193_2" we are given scathing "close-ups" of ten potential nominees for next year's election to the presidency of the United States. "This gallery of half-gods" Includes Herbert Hoover, Alfred Emanuel Smith, Calvin Cool- idg. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight Whitney Morrow, Senator Joseph T. Robinson, Albert C. Ritchie, Owen D. Young, Newton D. Baker, Glf- ford Ptachot and John Barleycorn, the last and the only certainly vic- torious candidate, according to our unknown author.

Evidently the author of "Mirrors of 1932" does not think Hoover a successful leader of this country's fortunes, for he Is very severe in his discussion of the president. Like- wise, he has no use for Smith ex- cept to call him a great humanist who "has passed into a period of Rascobian twilight." Coolidge, he Jestingly speaks of as "the Great Enigma," who was not made for his times so much as the times for him." Roosevelt expects his name to get htortoto the White House, and Robinson, a most aggressive senator from Arkansas, has "stood on the outside looking " for so long that he wants a chance for promo- tion. Ritchie, four times governor of Maryland, which office was never before refilled by the same man, hopes that looks may be required for presidents, for then he can easily qualify. Young; "balanced and brainy," "our first world citizen," stands out as a leading figure and yet the author says he is the Dem- ocrats' most vulnerable candidate. Baker is by far the ablest candi- date for presidency in the two ma- jor parties, says our author, and here we find a really laudatory de- scription of one who "only lacks a few inches to height to make him of presidential stature.

The whole panorama Is remark- ably Interesting and yet one won- ders if the author, hiding under his anonymous state, has not exagger- ated the shortcomings of these men to order to accentuate his own cleverness.

Marjory Mix Dear Margery Mix:

Alas and alack, here's a great one for you to.ponder over too. Notice. I say TOO. I've also PONDERED. I've been told that a girl here at Eastern thinks I'm "Just too cute", but then she doesn't even speak to me "cause we haven't been intro- duced properly. She couldi easily drop by the book store and ask for something she knows we don't have, just to talk to me. But she doesn't. If she thinks I'm tall dark and handsome, don't you think she'd want to tell me about it?

"Russ". Dear "Russ":

You might get a friend of a friend of hers to fulfill the Introduc- tion according to all conventions. Maybe she Is Just a bit timid, but if another girl told) you this it might be a case of John Alden not speaking for himself. That's some- thing else to ponder over!

Dear Margery: If you'll pardon my saying dear,

but as things go I don't think Mary will mind. I heard, indirectly of course, that my girl wants me to date someone else so she can have a little competition. Do you think if Mary, I mean If any girl loved a boy she would want to date anyone else? 1 mean do you really?

George C. Dear George C:

Your case Is bad. If Mary, I mean if a girl, was sure a boy loved her she wouldn't expect any com- petition. But, on the other hand, if she wanted to let people see how much he loved her she might wel- come some competition with open arms, just to show the world her tenacity in getting her man.

Dear Margery: After my letter was published to

the last edition of your paper I was very humiliated. I'd forgotten and signed my name when I mailed the letter. My friends have handed me the so-called "razzberries" ever since. I've even been mailed prices on lessons to voice-training. I've received requests for autographs, because the girls think I'm to be a great singer at some future date. A rich but homely girl wrote and said that if my girl didn't love me any- more she'd adore mussing my red curly hair.

I'm indeed to a predicament. What can I do now? "Red" P. Dear Red:

Your best bet would be to remem- ber the old adage by Omar Khay- yam.

"The Moving Finger writes, and having writ,

Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit

Shall lure It back to cancel half a line,

Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it."

Your friends know about your other letter. Just avoid signing she'd" want to tell me about It? girls, or other people, in the future. —O-

The father, while smoking a corcob pipe could be seen plowing a yoke of oxen on a hill near by. In the back- ground could be seen a packhorse tolling down the mountain trail. A little way down the valley would be the little log schoolhouse. One could Imagine seeing the Interior of that little school, with the desk ar- ranged along the wall, and the children sitting on wooden benches made by splitting a log into halves and Inserting long wooden pins into holes bored Into the round side of each half. The(e would be no charts, no blackboard, and no books excepting the Bible, spelling book, and catechism. The master with his powdered wig, long bushy side- burns, knee breeches, buckle shoes, and lace collar would pull his spec- tacles down on the end of his nose and glare over the rims at a little boy and storm out, "Johney, sit up!" The little fellow would be scared so bad his eyes would stick out like a toad's eyes in a hall storm. It could be very easily Imagined that the unwritten law was "Spare the rod and spoil the child".

The farmer, a grandson of the fanner in the first ccene, could be seen driving a truck Into a large red dairy barn. In the place of the old mountain trail would be a federal highway on which cars and trucks are speeding by. A railroad would be parallel to the highway. There would be a large consolidated, brick school building a little way down the val- ley. The playground would be equipped with teeter boards, merry- go-rounds, swings, giant strides, slides, a ball diamond, basketball court, and all the playground con- veniences of modern schools. One could Imagine visiting the class- rooms and observing a student of "Eastern" Instructing a class by the use of charts, maps, moving pic- tures, flash cards, games, etc. There would be shades on the windows, a ventilating system, and pictures and posters on the walls. In the laboratories one could imagine see- ing the happy children seeking and finding the facts about Nature.

"AT Portwood's Little Maroons have been hard at work on the hardwood in the Health building for the past three weeks getting a start in the primary techniques of basket ball.

"AT has in mind another cham- pionship team similar or_even bet- ter than the one last year, and it looks like he is going to get it. He has some fast, sturdy material going thru the practices every afternoon, and they give the varsity lots of good competition in scrimmage ses- sions.

There are about twenty out for the frosh team this year, and among the group are to be found many old high school stars who are perform- ing with ability for "Al." The Little Maroons are a scrappy bunch of basketeers, and from out of their midst should be developed much good varsity material for next sea- son.

The frosh contributed a large por- tion to the varsity squad this year from a set of stars that dealt sting- ing defeats to the Kentucky Kittens both here and at Lexington, In which battles they declared them- selves state champions. The Kit- tens had a clean slate until they hit the Little Maroons who so nice- ly destroyed Kentucky's fond hopes.

The same condition exists on the frosh squad as on the varsity this year, in that no definite line-up can be determined. Both squads are well endowed with good players, so that it is more than difficult lor the coaches to make a pick this early in the season.

However, in the big scrimmages of last week with the varsity, "Al" sent in a quintet composed of Car- ter at right forward. Hale at left forward. Tierney, center, Hoskins and Adams, Ben's little brother, at guards. All five of this combina- tion performed well. Dykes, foot- ball star, also plays a neat game at guard for the frosh, and It Is very probable that he will be used a good deal this year. Green sub- stituted for Tierney at center in the scrimmages. However, Green Is a prospective player, and needs only training to bring him out. Tierney seemed to be an experienced hand at the game, and he found little trouble in mastering the fundamen- tals as set down by Coach Port- wood.

More Carr Creekers are coming on all the time, as evidenced by the appearance on the frosh squad of Ben and Guerney Adams' younger brother; and even he has nice form and plenty of height, which Is of advantage to him. Then there Is a younger brother In the Hale family to keep the ball rolling for that or- ganization. He is taking after his brothers, Herman and Lawrence, more than after Zelda, by having forward ambitions. He is one of the foremost competitors for the forward berth on the frosh team.

The Little Maroons will their first apeparance against the Georgetown Cubs, January 8, at Georgetown, when they engage in a preliminary tilt to the varsity contest on the Georgetown court the same night. With the use of prac- tically the same type of system that the varsity uses, the Little Maroons have about gotten their offensive attacks down pat. and only a little patching up on defense, and a bit of mending in spots of their offense remains to be completed before they will be ready for their first contest.

The game with the Cubs prom- ires to be a good one, and the Little Maroons should stand Just a-little better than an even chance to win. Their speed more than anything else should mark their advantage over their opponents, for it will take an exceptionally fast team to stop their attack once they get it under way. A good amount of time is being devoted to goal and foul shooting by Coach Portwood at the present, and hard drills In handling the ball are characterizing most of the practice periods.

The Little Maroons will be in tip- top condition for the Georgetown game, and it is expected that a number of their classmates will fol- low them on the trip with the upper-classmen who follow up the varsity.

Looking Over the Forwards

l^-v^E PROMISE

ACTIVE SEASON FOR EASTERN,,

Bill Melton, veteran Maroon bas- keteer, has been finding a hard competitor for the forward berth on the first five this year. Gillls Mad- den, Carr Creeker and stellar for- ward from the Little Maroons last year, is the man and he is going plenty good on the hardwood.

Both men have been showing up about equal in slicing the loops with the old sphere, and they are also running a close race on floor work, but Bill seems to hold a slight edge over Madden on the defense. Bill has had to limber up a sore knee since football season, while Madden had a chance at the first practice before Melton was in uniform. How- ever,, in this week's contests, open- ers for the season, Melton Is the more likely to appear in the start- ing line-up.

Madden is well in line for sub- stituting for Melton at any time, and with him rapidly coming back into his old forb, he is developing much speed and excellent floor work with it, which will make him a man to be counted on in a close situa- tion.

Herman Hale, another one of those famous Hale boys from Carr Creek, is working out in his old berth at the other forward, and that Maroon suit of his can be seen flashing in and out of all the close spots on the floor. He is showing up better than ever and is easily holding up the family name with his other brothers who have been highlights of the varsity outfit for three years.

Herman seems to be a holy terror to the freshman defense in scrim- mage bouts with the yearlings, and he is developing a fine spirit of fight along with his teammates. He will certainly be a threat to his op- ponents and will be hard to watch when the team opens with Witten- berg tonight. Last year he was one of the leading scorers and In prac- tice this year he is having little trouble in sliding in ofr crip shots. He is a flash of fire for any defense and always alert to intercept passes and dribbles form his opponents to turn them into scores for Eastern in crucial periods of the game.

Coach "Turkey" Hughes and twelve varsity basketeers are on an invasion of Ohio, where they opened the Maroon basketball season with Wittenberg, at Springfield, Wednes- day night and Wilmington at Wil- mington Thursday night.

These two opening games will perhaps be the hardest on the sea- son's card, and victories over the northern teams should mean much in determining the Big Maroons' chaiices against the more hardy foes, who make up the remainder of the eighteen game schedule which has been drawn up for var- sity net competition this y$ftr.

Practices all last week were de- voted to hard drills on fundamentals and scrimmages with "Al" Port- wood's Little Maroons In prepara-

make|tlon lor^tha^eiila contests. Unusu- ally heavy scrimmage was held last Wednesday, and the varsity showed up well. Few points were allowed the frosh, and the varsity offensive was working like clockwork. The Maroons found little trouble in pen- etrating a strong freshman defense for numerous crip shots, and on the otherhand, the frosh found a stone barrier against their offensive play when they attempted to pass the Maroon forward wall. Monday marked the final drill on fundamen- tals, and the team appeared to be in fine shape for the trip.

No line-up for the first five has been released yet, as Coach Hughes expects to pick his men immediate- ly before the opening whistle for both games. Five veterans opened the scrimmages last week with the frosh, and there is.much probabil- ity that they will'be the ones to open against Wittenberg. Melton appeared at right forward, Herman Hale took the other forward posi- tion, Ben Adams tipped the sphere at center, Zelda Hale directed the offense from his old guard position, and Lawrence Hale held down the other berth at guard. Vest, Mad- den, and McDaniel were used al- tematingly at center and guard po- sitions in all practices, and more than likely they will see plenty of service tonight. "Flash" Feeback, frosh player from the Little Ma- roons of 1930, showed up well in one of the forward berths Wednesday, and there is a possibility that he will get in one of the games on this trip. Campbell, frosh star from last year, is also working out well with the varsity and he stands a good chance of handling the ball in some period of the opening game.

Enroute to Springfield the squad stopped off in Walton for a prac- tice tussle with the Walton Old- Timers, town team of the northern Kentucky town, whom they defeated 22 to 12. They will reach Spring- field early today, and Coach Hughes will probably elect a captain for the first two games while the team is waiting to dress for the Witten- berg event No captain has yet been elected by the team to lead them In the i93i-'32 season, but it Is expected that the Maroons will name one in the near future.

Coach Hughes has had more abundant basketball material to work with this year than in any of the past years in which he has been the head mentor of the hardwood at Eastern. Although there are three full teams making up the var- sity squad with one about as good as the other, which gives good rea- son for his difficulty in selecting a standing first quintet No positions

Tumbling Class Making Progress

From information received from Mutt Wyatt, head of the tumbling division of intramural activities, the recently organized class of acrobats has gotten well under way by now. They are practicing every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

There are fifteen enrolled in the activity and they all appear to be showing much progressive develop- ment In the sport. Men inclined to- ward acrobatics aided greatly In the physical education program which was given as a regular feature of the Central Kentucky Educational meeting held here in October. That program served as an instigator for the tumbling class, and it was or- ganized shortly afterward with only a few members. Since then, several have been added to the roll.

The complete membership at tht present in the class is composed of the following: Dennis, Corum. Clif- ton, Wilder, Posten, Rankin, Forbes. Cooper, Baker, Pope, Williams, An- derson, Hamilton, Black and Wyatt.

Sometime after the holidays the organization expects to give a dem- onstration for the entertainment of the assembly in Hiram Brock audi- torium, and preparations for that program will be started Just as soon as the members return from the Christmas holidays. O

DR. MOORE APPOINTED

The Progress has received word that Dr. William Moore, head of Eastern's commerce department, has been appointed to the Research Committee of the Department of Commerce of the Kentucky Educa- tional Association.

will be definite at any time during the season with as many men to pick from. Last year's frosh stars are coming out better and better all the time, and the tussle for positions should aid greatly in strengthening the varsity to the point where they may gain the lead in the state S. I. A. A. group right off the bat.

The month of January will be marked by a full schedule of S. I. A A. opponents involving the lead- ing teams of the state and south. On the fifth, immediately after the Christmas holidays, the Maroons open the new year in the Weaver Wealth Building by being host to the fast University of Louisville quintet. On the eighth, they travel to Georgetown for a double tussle wherein "Al" Portwood's Little Ma- roons will make their first initial appearance on the hardwood with the Cubs, and the varsity will take on Carey Spicer's Bengals. Four days later, Coach Hughes and his delegation will trot over to Lexing- ton for a battle with the Transyl- vania Pioneers. Following, that, Eastern will be host to Western Teachers for two consecutive games on the campus hardwood January 15-16.

Kentucky Wesleyan, Berea. More- head, and a return game with Georgetown will fill out the rest of the card for the month.

The Maroons have always taken a good part of the limelight of Ken- tucky hardwood circles, and this year they are doped to win more than in the previous three years. Eastern has the prospects of having a recognized team of the south this year, and it will deserve all the stu- dent support that can possibly be mustered up on the campus.

Basketball Is Eastern's game, and through these basketeers only will revenge be gotten for ill-fated grid battles. They are invading Ohio to get revenge from Wittenberg, and with the right kind of student back- ing they will get not only revenge over teams lost to in football, but they should place Maroon and White colors high among the lead-: ing colors of the best schools in the S. I. A... and keep them there throughout the season.
