at 4 o'clock in the Men's gymnasium
by SuKy, pep organization on the
University campus, Paul Pickering, a
freshman in the Arts and Sciences
college, and a Kappa Alpha pledge,
was chosen to assist the old cheer
leaders at all of the athletic events
this year.
Eighteen men tried out and from
that number Pickering was selected.
After the new man had been chosen,
Blade Carr, of Covington, a member
of the Sigma Nu fraternity, was
elected head cheer leader. Morris
Scott is the third member of the
team.
SuKy also held a meeting Tuesday
at 5 o'clock at which time they decided on a new policy for the year.
The policy is, to be more courteous
to the visiting athletic teams and
to attempt to make their stay here
more enjoyable than it has been in
the past. The teams will be met
at the trains and after the games
will be entertained by a committee
elected for that purpose.
An election was held Tuesday in
which Frances Baskett, Cynthiana,
a member of the Alpha Gamma
Delta sorority, was chosen secretary,
and Mary Elizabeth Fisher, of Lexington, a member of the Chi Omega
sorority, was elected treasurer.
Besides creating spirit for athletic
events the organization assists in
sending the University band on football trips. The finances are obtained by the sale of confections at the
football games. New members are
taken into the organization on their
ability to sell confections at the
MEN athletic events. A stand will be located under the stadium on the
Kentucky side to supply candidates
for SuKy with material to sell. The
committee in charge of selling includes Vernon Chandler, chairman,

Further plans concerning "Amateur Night" will be announced later.
Students planning to try out
communicate
with Dishould
rector Riley at the Pi Kappa Alpha
house, phone Ashland 4624. A nominal fee of 75 cents per person will
be charged for the tryout privileges.
For those unacquainted with the
plan of Scrollers, it has been stated
that each year the group holds a
series of tryouts for the purpose of
discovering talent for the yearly
production which will be presented
early next spring. Those who made
a satisfactory showing in the tryouts
will be declared eligibles and will be
permitted to tryout for a role in the
annual play.
"Square Crooks," last year's Stroller play, was an excellent production and a successful one. The play
ran three nights in Lexington at
the Gulgnol theatre, after which it
was shown in a number of towns in
Eastern Kentucky.
The Strollers which is an organization for students, who are interested in dramatics, plan a very auspicious season this year. Trips to
many cities are included in the
schedule. Although only one play is
produced each year the organization has maintained a high position
In University dramatic activities.
That the same high standards
will be maintained this year is a
foredrawn conclusion by pleople who
know the officers of the organization.

Attention, Freshmen!
Wear Your Caps
Article 1, section 1, of the By-laof the Student Council's Constitution states: "Freshmen shall wear
the regulation cap from the time of
enrollment until the first Friday In
May following."
Failure to wear the regulation
freshman cap signifies that you are
not proud of the fact that you are
a freshman at the University of
Kentucky. It is a question of loyalty or disloyalty. The Student
Council believes that every freshman will be loyal to his alma mater,
to its traditions, and to his class.
Your failure to wear your cap is disloyal and we Intend that no such
disloyalty shall be tolerated.

No Rushing:
President Requests Observance of Senate Theater
Rule
President Frank L. McVey is
very anxious that all students
observe the rules laid down last
year by the University Senate in
regard to theater rushing after
football games. The President's
letter follows:
"The University of Kentucky
lives in good felling with its
friends and neighbors in this city.
The continuance of this relation
depends upon students and their
attitude. Rushing theaters after
football games causes a lot of
friction and hard feeling. To
rush theaters is against Unlver
slty rules and a violation of city
ordinances. I am asking uppers
classmen not to encourage it and
the freshmen to obey the regu
latlous and keep out of trouble.

President.

nothing you have ever seen,

great, transient circus.

Chick Meehan, coach of the New
York Violets, describes the showmanship which pulls cash customers
from warm firesides to cold football
games. It is the color. Women go to
see the fall fashions and to hear
the band. A long forward pass or a
sweeping end run raises them from
their seats with a jerk. Men no
ldnger go home to tell their wives
about the game, but the wife goes
with them and so the stands are
filled. They start at a, leisurely pace
which quickens to a nervous gallop
as they reach the gate and hear the
sounds inside. The stadium breathes
excitement.

STAFF MEETING TODAY
A general meeting of the Kentuc

Editorial room at McVey Hall today
noon. All members of the staff,

it

including the business department,
are requested to be present. This
leetlng Is very important.

Summer
Dr. W. D. Funkhouser, head of the
zoology department and dean of the

graduate school at the University,
was the principal speaker at the
banquet given at the
Lexington
Country Club Wednesday .night in
collection with the Rotary Clum
lnter-cit- y
meeting held in Lexington
Wednesday.
He discussed his archaeological expedition in Kentucky during
the
past summer.
Dr. Funkhouser and his party discovered three things never before
known to have existed in Kentucky
or the Mississippi valley. The first
was found in a group of ash caves,
in Lee county, from 400 to COO years
old, in which the articles and bones
buried centuries ago remain well
preserved partly because of the
alkali of the ashes. It was a sample
of wood bark fabric, which
Dr.
to
Funkhouser said was known
existed but all of which was believed
to have decayed.
The second was an altar, In an
Indian mound in Logan county, on
which a human sacrifice remained
It was the first indication of human
sacrifice among the ancient peoples
of the Mississippi valley.
The third was a stone wall made
by another culture of the ancient
people of Logan county. It never
before had been known that any
prehistoric tribe of the Mississippi
valley had so much as placed stone
upon stone to build a wall or fence.
