But it was 'he wrong time of the year for that 'ticular type of vegetation, so we had e content with green grass. twing heard of mint juleps since a lad of 12 summers, I suggested c get one. Much to my disap nnt. however, we were foiled br mints were not in season. Churchill Downs saw most of the city in the man's open car. Churchill where the famous Kentucky y is run, was the first point of in st. The track is 1.8 miles long and stands will seat approximately .00,000 people. Morris told us that an average of half a millon people usually attend this annual classic. He said that the cheapest seat is $5.00 and box seats often sell for as much as $300:00. Admission to the park is $5.00. All around the outside of the structure are posted the names of winning horses since the tracks were opened. "We viewed the Kool, Spud and Twenty Grand cigarette factories and at each place a sample package was given us. By the way, if any of you prefer Twenty Grands I will gladly give you the remainder of the pack that I didn't smoke. Many Distilleries "Louisville probably has more dis tilleries in it than any other city in the country. There are 121 distilleries and four breweries. A large delegation, sponsored by the convention, went through four of the distilleries and one of the breweries. "Unlike many states, Kentucky al lows whiskey to be sold openly. I mean 'by that, it is sold in drug stores, etc., a'nd one may find a bar in every block. "I was extremely amused by the ignorance of some Yankees. Perhaps 50 per cent of the delegates have never seen cotton growing. One young lady from New York nearly went mad with joy when she saw a cow. This may seem queer to you, but imagine your self being shut up in a city like New York all your life. Far From Home "The representative from Walla Walla, Washington, traveled the fartherest distance in getting to the convention. Before he gets back to his university he will have traveled approx imately 5.000 miles. If nothing hap pens, he should get there tomorrow. "It was interesting to note how many of the northern delegates were Demo crats and how many of them stood up for Roosevelt. The University of Kan sas's representative contended that Landon will not get a third of the votes in his own state. Even Repub lican editors were confident that Roosevelt will come through with fiy ing colors. There is much more in terest in politics in the North than there is in the South. Usually, when one delegate met another, he would ask, "Democrat or Republican?" Many Girls Present "I was happily surprisedl to find that meewere a number of young ladies a. the convention. I expected to find a bunch of book worms among the itors and a hatch of high pressure cemen among the business manag Intstead, I found congenial, jovial college people. "Some of the expressions that s'~ rners used were unique. For in ce, a representative from a girl's 1came up to me- as we were leav i said, "Let me hank a goober .'

"The popular conception that red hair is a sign of a fiery temper and that the color of the eyes is related to the in dividual's personality is sheer mythology, but there is more foundation to the view that a high forehead is an indication of higher intelligence," Dr. Walsh said. It was pointed out a definite correla tion between intelligence and a high forehead has actually been established. An outstanding exception to this es tablished rule was Anatole France whose head was oaly iwo-iids the aIialal size. Dr. Walsh stated that, "There is a difference in the intelligence potentiali ties of different races. However, cer tain individuals of certain races can go as far in intellect development as indi viduals of another race."

Sumter Man Oldest Grad The distinction of being the oldest living alurunus of the University goes t to Rev. A. G. Townsend of Sumter. 1 Upon the death of Dr. Charles W.

Green Writes New Biography "George McDuffie," a biography in >ook form, written by Dr. Edwin L. ,reen, head of the department of An :ient Languages at the University, was >ublished during the middle of last ummer. The writing has been long Ieded and furnishes much inforrna ion on one of the outstanding men >f his day. McDuffie, through his great ser rices to the State, was almost idolized y his people. His leading role in the iillification controversy led him to be alled "The Orator of Nullification." It was said of Mr. McDuffie, that 'if the South Carolina college had ed icated but one man, she had repaid all hat the State had spent on her, or :ver would spend." -U. S. U.
