TAKE A REST

terests, therefore as true

With the coming of the Easter holidays, The Kernel
trusts, and has, it believes, no reason to doubt that the
students will toss aside their books, forget the routine of
college life, and betake themselves away to their homes
with no thought as to anything but to enjoy a brief
period of rest.
It is at this time that the University offers to the
student the luxury of enjoying his periodic case of
spring fever and The Kernel is of the opinion that he
should, with all enthusiasm, let the disease run its
course.
We trust, however,

that you will come back completely "cured," ready to work with a new vim and
determination.

MARTHA

The following letter was received by a Stroller official in regard to the presenation of the annual Stroller
play in the city of Ashland:

Ashland, Ky., March 21, 1928.

sium.

The incident certainly, is regrettable, but if both
parties view the matter in a clear light, The Kernel
believes that this misunderstanding will be relegated
to the background of a schoolboy's resentment.
The people of Ashland, we are sure, will not allow
the incident to assume a degree of serious magnitude.
As the doughboy said, "Forget it."

LITERARY SECTION

A REGRETTABLE INCIDENT

Dear Sir:
In reply to your letter of March 14, I am sorry
to say that the Alumni decided at a recent meeting that it would not be advisable to undertake the
production of "Dulcy" in Ashland this spring. Following the tournament there seems to be a hostile
feeling among the people because some of the University students "rooted" against Ashland at the
games, and while the Strollers had nothing to do
with this, they are connected with the University,
and those who attended the tournament were of the
opinion that we could not get a crowd out for the
play.
I am greatly disappointed and hope this
mosity will soon die out. We plan to organize in
the fall and be in shape to undertake the Stroller
play next year.
Very sincerely,
ALPHONSINE STEWART.
It was with a feeling of surprise that The Kernel
read the foregoing letter which Mr. Bowman turned
over to us for publication. Until the present, The
Kernel was unaware .that any such feeling existed
against the University or against the Strollers. However, it cannot but admit, that considered in the light
of the foregoing letter, and in view of conditions growing out of the tournament here, the people of Ashland
may be justified in assuming the attitude they have
taken in regard to this matter.
The Kernel cannot deny that a number of the more
immature students did "root" for the Carr Creek team,
but that they did so because they had a special feeling
for that team and against Ashland is debatable. The
Kernel is inclined to believe that they "rooted" for the
friendless little mountain team simply because they
considered it the sporting thing to do. Considered on
the whole we believe that this is simply another one
of those unfortunate cases of misunderstanding that
occurs from time to time, and which, if one regards it
thoughtfully, free from any feeling of prejudice, will
be settled happily for both parties.
The Kernel sincerely hopes that Ashland will consider it in this light, and that they will display under
the circumstances the same gallant sportsmanship their
team displayed on the floor of the University gymna-

that the versatile Engineers found it

Remembering your cruelty;
