It will be recalled that at the

editor, managing editor and news
editor, a meeting was held by Prof.
Ezra Oillls. registrar, at which
time the dean of men, dean of
women, and representatives from
the business office, and The Ker- nel were present.
The plan, presented by the Kernel, was okehed, and is was decided
to put It into effect this fall.
As to the efficiency of the new
plan, much depends, as The Kernel warned last year, upon the cooperation of students.
Certain
hours are to be allotted students
to register when their names fall

into the alphabetical arrangement.
Because of urgent demands of
students over a period of years as
to the extreme inefficiency of the
old system, the new plan was adopted. It is expected to eliminate
much of the disorder and delay
which was apparent under the old

system.

line Of Curriculum In Re
quired Physical Education
In liook

A general outline of the curriculum in required physical education
for men and women students, as
offered at the University, has Just
been compiled in pamphlet form
by Prof. M. E. Potter, head of the
University's department of Physical Education.
"The material has been compiled," according to Proffessor Potter's Introductory statement "to
meet the student needs for brief
but adequate descriptive materials
of the deDartmental and course re
quirements and a description of
the content of the various courses
offered; to meet faculty needs for
adequate descriptive
material of
course requlremitnas and content
to advise students as expertly as
possible on matters pertaining to
the physical education department
and to meet requests from other
Universities and colleges and from
secondary schools and individuals
in regard to the department,
"The material in required physi
cal education for men and women
students as outlined herein is bas
ed on the assumption that physi
cal education activities contribute
in a definite 'manner to the edu
cation background of the college
student," says Mr. Potter's Intro
duction. He then outlines the main
objectives of the courses and con
clude his introductory remarks
with the statement that "the ma
terial contained herein is the re
sult of six years study, experimen
tation, and research. In no sense
is the curriculum, as presented, the
final or end result. Th procss of
trial, revision, experimentation and
change will continue." A few copies of the curriculum outline are
available at a nominal charge.
The curriculum is edited by Professor Potter and published by the
department of physical education,

"McLean Stadium, as Kentucky's
stadium is commonly known, is
really "Stoll Stadium."
Price Innes McLean, center on
the 1923 Wildcat football team,
died on Sunday, October 8, 1923, of
ht
injuries received in the
buttle with the University of Cincinnati on Carson field in Cincinnati During the earlier part of the
same year an extensive campaign
was conducted by alumni for the
erection of a new stadium, which
was Mulshed in the fall of 1924.
A group of University students
and friends of McLean petitioned
the Athletic board to name the new
stadium in honor of Kentucky's
martyr in that game. The stadium
and field, however, were both
named in honor of Judge Richard
C. Stoll, prominent Lexington attorney and for a number of years
a member of the Board of Trustees
of the University. A bronze plate
commemorating
Price McLean's
death was placed at the end of the
stadium, and since that time it has
been commonly known as "Mclean
Stadium:"

were held in October, 1924. The

Bob Davis Father
Of Quintuplets
Bob Davis, star halt back on
the University football team, became the father of quintuplets
early yesterday afternoon. The
Kernel was notified immediately
of the event and is proud that
it has scooped the world on the
news.
It happened when Mr. Davis
was cutting grass in front of the
Kernel office yesterday.
Suddenly, in the stillness and
the heat of the afternoon, his
voice penetrated the atmosphere, "Look, look what I've'

found."

Upon investigation of his remarks, the staff of the paper
rushed to the scene to discover
that he has uncovered a nest
of a litter of baby rabbits. At

McVey Says Manning
To Return This Year
Dr. Frank L. McVey, president of

in
the University,
northern Michigan, said last week
that Dr. John Manning, on leave
of absence from the University to
act as head of the personnel efficiency bureau at Frankfort, had
not requested for 8t extension of
his leave.
At Frankfort, Doctor Manning
said that "no plans had been
made" regarding his work after
this month.

given sufficient funds to enable him
to complete his higher education.

Novel Of Year
Best-Sellin-

By GEORGE M. SPENCER
Being the husband of the writer
of a novel which almost overnight
zoomed into the lead as the best
selling tome of the year, is a relatively new experience for John
Marsh, 'IS, a graduate of the Department of Journalism.
Mr. Marsh, advertising manager
of the Georgia Power company, in
a letter to R. K. Sulyers, alumni
secretary,
mentioned
association
that it might be "of passing interest" that Mrs. Marsh (Margaret
Mitchell is the name she uses in
signing the novel) is the author of
"Gone With the Wind."
Since its publication in June, the
sale of "Gone With the Winds"
has been phenomenal. Just a little over two months after its release, it has undergone three printings, and critical opinion predicts
that the demand is not of the
ephemeral variety.
According to John Henson, manager of the Morris Book Shop, it
is one of the most called for books
on his shelves.
--

Mr. Marsh received his degree In
an A. B. in English. Journalism degrees, however, were not
granted in those days, although he
actually majored in that subject.
He worked for a while as a reporter
for the Lexington Herald, then removing to Georgia, he worked on
various newspapers, and married.
He went into advertising and climaxed a brilliant career by being
appointed to the position lie now
holds.
While In college he was exchange
editor of The Kernel, associate editor of the Kentucklun. a member
of Alpha Delta Sigma, the Canterbury Club, was prominent in student dramatics, being secretary-treasurof Strollers, and was captain of Comiwny A, in the cadet
corps.
In his junior year he was winner of the Journalism prize. At
that time his home was in Mays-vill- e.
1916,

er

In his letter to the alumni association, Mr. Marsh said he read
and enjoyed the Kernel and desired to stay on ttie mailing list.
