Byington-d- e

The first performance of "White
Chips," a comedy in three acts, by
Spring Byington and Marie do Montalvo, will bo given at the Romany
Theatre the week of February 9,
under the direction of Huyler Van
Hovcnberg, of New York City.
At the suggestion of Prof. Carol
Sax, the founder of Lexington's Little
Theatre, who read the manuscript on
a recent visit to New York, Miss
Byington and her collaborator decided to produce the play out of New
York before its opening there in the
late spring. Mr. Sax offered them
the use of the Romany and after consultation the invitation was accepted
and Mr. Van Hovcnberg arrived recently to begin the casting and producing of the play.
In speaking of "White Chips," Mr.
Van Hovcnberg said: "The plot of the
comedy deals with the old question
of whether or not a woman can escape from the invisible but innumerrouable threads which tie her to thestory
tine of the home. This is a audiof never ending interest and the
ence will go home and discuss the
ties of Sue, the heroine, and will wonder just what they would have done
had they been in her place.
"We chose Lexington as our try
out city not only because of its reputation in the theatrical world, but

The Kernel, wishing to recognize
the deserving members of the senior
class, hereby announces the rules to
govern nn election to be held on the
campus next Tuesday.
The Kernel agrees to publish the
of the activipicture and write-uties of two Seniors each week who
are selected by the junior and senior
classes by popular vote.
Rules to govern the contest and
voting:
1. Each senior with standing on
the campus is eligible to be a candidate.
2. Each member of the junior and
senior classes is eligible to a vote
(sophomores and freshmen are not
eligible to a vote).
3. All voting must be done Tues
day between the hours of 8 a. m. and
p. m. Unsigned ballots will not
p

be considered.
4. It is left to the discretion of
the voter as to what qualities he shall
consider in his candidate. Each voter
shall vote for only ONE candidate
(boy or girl).
5. The
committee reserves the
rhjht to reject the name of a suc

Pep-Squa-

cessful candidate who has not made
his standing, or whom the committee
feels was elected by "politics."
0. The thirty candidates getting
the highest number of votes shall
and their pictures in
have a write-uthe following issues of the Kernel.
The names of the successful candidates shall not be divulged nt one
time they will appear in the order
of the number of votes they received.
We wish particularly to call the
attention of voters to rule No. 4. This
is to be a test to determine just what
makes a man outstanding in the eyes
of his fellow students. We suggest
that the voter consider the morals
of the candidate and also whether
he has worked his way through the
university or has had his expenses
paid by his parent or guardian. We,
refuse to accept the names of "lounge
lizards," who are elected by fraternity brothers or who have been the
social rage, merely because they had
father. We want
an
candidates who arc real men and women, and who have really accomplish;
ed something on their own initiative
here in the university.

Members of the Circle who failed

VICTIM

DELIRIOUS

Floj d Collins Entombed
In Cavern at Cave
City

Dr. W. D. Funkhouser, geologist of
the University of Kentucky, who left
Wednesday morning for Cnve City,
Ky., to assist in the rescue of Floyd
Collins, who is entombed in Sandy
Cave,, near Cave City, was convinced,
after a long consultation with a number of miners Thursday, that any attempt to rescue Collinc through the
natural opening of the cave from
the outside was almost impossible.
It is impossible to move the solid
rock, uplifted to the roof, the miners
said. The danger to Collins in sinking a shaft from the hill top, lies in
the vibration entailed in this work.
Three slides and three cave-in- s

have already occurred from unex
plained reasons and the constant jarring and pounding necessary to sink
the shaft will undoubtedly drop rocks
and dirt upon the victim.
Professor
Funkhouser,
General
Dcnhardt and the coal miners have
virtually decided upon the plan to go
after Collins from above, after the
first report was made that the floor
was rising.
There is constant danger that anyone in the passageway leading to Collins would find himself trapped from
the closing of the passage behind him
or from being wedged and slowly being crushed where he lay.
Subsequent reports on the uplift
convinced the rescuers that their hope
lies in the new plan and the cave exploration was abandoned.
