BEHIND THE VESPER
CURTAIN

With the opening of the
at the University, a number

'S.

school year
new features
were inaugurated among which was the Sunday
afternoon vesper service in Memorial Hall.
In this service President McVey hopes to incorporate some of the finer things that should
go with a higher education;
notably, love of
beauty, a reverential attitude toward God and
the inspiration that comes from contact with
learned men.
To say that the president has been disappointed in the reception of the Idea is putting it
mildly. He feels that students do not appreciate
his efforts to give them worthwhile opportunities
while they are attending the University.
The Kernel believes that the students have
no such lack of appreciation. They simply do
not understand the beauty of the services and
the opportunities offered. The realization will
come ,in due time, but delay might be fatal to
the growth of the weekly programs.
Therefore, students, let's all go to the Vesper
services Sunday afternoon. By doing so, President McVey will be made to feel that the student body Is for him in all that he undertakes.
At the same time, a worthwhile innovation at
the University will grow Into a traditional exercise which in years to come, will be acclaimed
as a feature of the commonwealth's greatest
university.

MORE ABOUT CHEER

LEADERS
In the editorial column of last week's Kernel
the statement was made that the University
has not possessed a good cheer leader since the
days of Bob Creech. We reiterate this bold assertion and present a few reasons and suggesour
tions to the SuKy Circle to substantiate
view.

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

PAGE FOUIl

To become an expert formulator and director of combined cheering requires both time
and practice. No person, however talented, can
qualify during the brief period that he now holds
the position. Nor Is he materially concerned in
acquiring excellence since there is no incentive
that urges him to exert himself.
Several large universities and colleges have
met the situation by providing for a varsity
cheer leader, from the senior class, and for several others from the freshmen, sophomore and
junior classes. At the beginning of each school
year an athletic organization, corresponding to
the SuKy on this campus, selects the varsity
man from the ranks of the previous year's
junior class aspirants.
He must work three
years before being eligible for election. At the
completion of four year's work the varsity
leader Is awarded an athletic sweater bearing
the letter of his Alma Mater.
Tills is somewhat simlliar to the football
managerial plan now in practice at the University. Think it over, SuKy. It may be of assistance in solving the cheering problem.

WHERE'S YOUR PEP?
Following the scrlmage with Maryvllle Satur
day night, the Wildcats have slated as their
first opponent for the 1929 Conference season
Washington and Lee, a school which will enter
the lair tomorrow with a corking good team,
school spirit and organization.
This conflict is outstanding not only because
it is the first conference game of the year and
will definitely rate the Kentucky boys In regard
to other games, but the attitude of the student
body will show the citizens of Lexington and
other patrons of the game Just how we, as students of the University arc boosting or arc falling our team.
A great many criticisms can be found con
ccrnlng the game last week, saying nothing of
what took place on the gridiron. In the first
place, the cheering, or rather the lack of cheering, was a disgrace to the students of this institution, collectively and individually. It is granted, of course, that there was little incentive for
cheering as the game was practically sewed up
in a little red bag, but did the men on the field
let that stop their every effort? No, they did
the best they could, and the students In the
bleachers failed them.
There was no pretense of any organization,
and without organized cheering there can be no
result. The least the students can do, not only
freshmen but upper classmen, is to come out to
the pep meeting tonight and learn the yells.
Another criticism is presented, not against
the students, but in their behalf. Complaints
have been voiced by a number of students about
the treatment which was accorded them at the
gates to the stadium on Saturday night. It
seems that there Is some sort of stupid rule
which maintains that holders of student ticket
books may enter the field only through the
gates on the South, while all others who attend
the game go through the gates on the North and
East. This means that when students are accompanied by family, friends and
guests they may not all enter by the same gate.
This causes much confusion and is very undesirable both on the part of the student and of
the visitor. It seems that something could be
done by the athletic council to eliminate this
difficulty.

FRESHMEN MUST WEAR Funkhouser To See
Game
THEIR CAPS
According to a ruling of the Student Council;
to a precedent scl by many classes of the University; and to customs and tradition of all
universities and colleges all men enrolled In the
freshmen class should and must wear the fresh
men cap.
This custom Is not be considered as voluntary
on the part of the freshman,
nor Is it to bo
thought of as a distasteful thing to do. This
cap, bearing the colors and name of the University, and the year in which the freshman expects to be graduated, signifies to all persons
that the freshman Is proud of the opportunity
to be a member of the student body .of the
school.
Lacking this pride and a feeling of school
spirit, a freshman Is not a part of the university,
as a freshman should be, and must, therefore, expect to be taken in charge and taught to exhibit
a pride in the University of Kentucky. The rule
that the cap must be worn is as rigid and as
compulsory as any rule of the Student Council
and must be obeyed.
Remember to wear the freshman cap at all
times and at all places, and to be courteous to
uppcrclassmcn until the first Friday of next
May.

WELCOME, EDITORS
Two men of outstanding journalistic ability
last week became members of professional
fraternities composed of University student Jour-

nalists, John G. Stoll, of the Lexington Leader,
and Desha Breckcnridge, of the Lexington
Herald, were the two men nominated by Sigma
Delta Chi and Alpha Delta Sigma, respectively,
for the honorary degrees.
