Wagner Heads
Engineers’ Day
Committeemen
Henry L. Wagner, senior elec-trical
engineering student, was

PRESS TO BE BARRED
FROM ALL MEETINGS
OF ATHLETIC BOARD
Committee Helpless Under Illegal Set-up; Dis-sension
In Senate May Oust It
Completely .
by Robert N. Kelso, Jr.
Closed meetings of the newly-formed Athletic Committee
of the University will be held in the future and no informa-tion
other than prepared statements issued by President R.
A. Kent will be available to newspapers, it was learned Tues-day
following a meeting held in the Alumni rooms to which
representatives of the press were barred.
Questioned concerning the results of the meeting, Dr. K.
P. Vinsel, named chairman of the Committee by the Board
of Trustees last week in establishing the athelic commission,
replied: “No news, and there will be none forthcoming. All
news will emanate from President Kent.”
Rapid developments have left the problem of an athletic
commission in a tangle. No sooner was the Committee, with
its seven members chosen from the University staff, the
alumni, and student body, set up, than it was discovered
that the organization was illegal, and the membership inade-quate
in violation of the constitution of the Southern Inter-collegiate
Athletic Association.
According to the rulings of the S. I. A. A., an athletic
commission must include a major-ity
of the faculty members, while
the committee organized here last
week had only three staff mem-bers.
Popular opinion expects heated
discussion of the athletic question
when the University Senate con-venes
to decide what is to be done
with the defunct committee.
Certain staff members, who de-clined
to be quoted, have expressed
the opinion that there should be
no athletic committee organized
to replace the board which is now
powerless to act, while members
of the Alumni are in favor of a
strong athletic commission.
Meanwhile, the position of
Director of Athletics recently va-cated
by C. V. Money lies open
and no consideration of applicants
for the job can take place until
some definite move is made.
Work on Sets for Ibsen
Play Begins Tonight
Construction of the sets for “An
Enemy of the People” will begin
tonight, according to Dee Myatt,
stage manager of the Players. Stu-dents
who desire to work on
scenery for the play which the
U. of L. Players are to produce
the 7 and 8 of February are re-quested
to report to the stage
manager at the Playhouse. Women
students are included in the labor
call, it was said.
The U. of L. Players’ orchestra
will play an all-Grieg programme
for “An Enemy of the People,”
J. P. Woertz, director of the or-chestra
announced, because it is
felt that such a selection is suit-able
to the Norwegian atmosphere
of Ibsen’s drama.
Law School May
Get New Building
House Bill Would Authorize
Bond Issue For New
Campus Structure.
Representative James Garnett,
j r., Democrat
from Louisville
and former stu-dent
of the Uni-versity,
intro-duced
a bill in-to
the State
House of Re-p
r e s e n tatves
Tuesday which
would authorize
the erection of
anew Law
School building
on Belknap
campus by W.
P. A. labor financed by the is-suance
of city revenue bonds. The
co6t of the building would be
amortized by the University in a
few years time.
GARNETT
U.-L. Again Host

21 and 22. It is expected that
about 200 selected band and or-chestra
players including conduc-tors
will assemble here from all
parts of the state.
The Dixie Band and Orchestra
Association, which covers the en-tire
South is planning to send a
delegation of at least 50 additional
people to participate in this Clinic.
