Tli beginning of a semester means Just another registration for many students, but for
tome it is a beginning, a new year's day in their
world, and an occasion for invenfcholasMe
tories and resolutions. New students come to
the university, wondering what they will do
when they get here. Those who have been here
befoie reflect upon the work they have dono
since they oamc. and pause to wonder whether
they are deriving all the benefits from their
university career which such a life should give
to them. They feel sometimes that they arc
missing something, the nature of which they
will not fully understand until they have passed from the gate of their college Utopia and
plunged into the routine life of the world.
What is it that these students have failed to
got? What else should they derive from their
college training? Is It the ability to drink their
shares of cocktails? Is It the ability to beat
their way through life with the least possible
mental and physical exertion, or is it the ability
to dross and to add such superficial airs to their
person that they may be regarded as above the
ordinary individuals whom they meet in the
streets? No! It is none of these things. It is
not toward such goals that the real student
strives.
But there is something which a university
offers which many students fail to get because
they fail to take advantage of opportunities
which college offers. There is an activity on
the campus for every student, regardless of his
particular ability. The value of activities is in
direct proportion to the good intentions and the
good judgment which a student possesses and
exercises when he devotes his time to such pur- - .
pose. They give training to the student which
he can not obtiln elsewhere. They are teach- ers in the school of experience.
Those who hope to be successful in life must
know life; those who hope to work with people
must learn something about people. Everyone is expected to know something of the society about him. The student who has cultiactivities while in col
vated
lege will find less difficulty in adapting himself
to life outside the college world.
What is it which many students fail to get
from their college life? What is It that causes
them to pause and wonder whether they are
securing a complete education? It is activity,
proper activity, which develops their inner
selves, causes them to expand and brings them
a certain amount of repose, confidence, and
versatility. It is such activity in college which
will enable them to adapt themselves to the life
which they aspire to live.

THINK FOR YOURSELF
College is the formative period in the development of the tendencies and actions of the
cultured mind. Thinkers are divided into three
common classes; those who permit designing
persons to think for them and to dictate their
decisions; those who neither think for themselves nor have anyone to think for them, and
those who make their decisions, and make them
after having given due consideration to surrounding conditions, considering the advice
which lias been offered them and deciding for
themselves.
Decisions which are made in college, especially those concerning the future, have a strong
influence on a person's life. Many students
have parents who are adhering to the ancient
idea of "like father, like son" professionally.
This idea should be relegated to the corridors
of memory along with corsets, bustles, and celluloid collars they are all equally useful today.
Furthermore, people attending college should
recognize this fact before they And themselves
going through college preparing themselves for
a future to which they are not suited. When
such a future is staring you in the face, think
for yourself because if you do not, you will
go through life acting and responding to the
dictations of othersand the future will be empty for you.
Every individual has certain abilities and interests which are inherent parts fo his personality. These should be cultivated, for it is in
these abilities that a happy and profitable future lies. If they lie latent and uncultivated,
a feeling of regret will always dominate the successes and failures which one normally encounters in life. If you follow the dictates of
someone else you will find, in the final analysis,
that you have neither pleased nor provided a
means of happiness for yourself. Contentment
does not lie in a Job in which you cannot conscientiously place your best efforts.
For the drifter, who neither thinks lor him
self nor has someone to think for him, there
can be no future. He is not worth wasting any
more thought upon than he himself wastes on

REMEMBER THE CUTS
Last semester a great many students were
unfortunate enough to think that absences were
not counted in classes until they had completed
registration and until cards from the registrar
had been sent to their several instructors. Let
us remember that according to the absence
ruling, which is now in effect, that absences are
counted beginning with the first registration of
every class. If you happen to be late in regis-terin- g,
do not be so intentionally for instead
of receiving a few days of illegal holiday you
will receive a few days of legal absences.
Spring is the hardest time of the year for
students to attend classes faithfully. Cutting Is
far from uncommon when warm weather arrives, for spring fever is really the only good
excuse- - a collegian can find to offer for such
deviations from the straight and narrow path.
The beginning of the second semester is not
the time to start piling up cuts. If cuts are
essential, please save them until there is some
half-wa- y
excuse. The professors will appre-ciat- e
starting the semester correctly and you
will appreciate the fact that you do not have
an excess of cuts accumulated from the first
pait of the semester.

ideas in your textbooks. Sweep the remnants
of old arguments, dances and dates from your
mind, anfl go after new ones. Last season's
accessories arc out of style for this semester, so
discard them and begin again.
Many grades that had best be discarded were
made last term; and the worthwhile grades had
best be carefully put away. Trivial class experiences public approval or reprimand from
the Instructor, the cheating you saw someone
else do. the biased Idea you conceived early In
the course about Its value or the instructor's
ability all these must be burned or burled before you will derive any benefit from your
study. That cute little freshman you met
g
week sure could wrap a line right
around a fellow's neck but her eyes were no
bluer than the doll you courted last night, so
forget her.
Nothing Is so stagnant or useless as the student who does not periodically search the wilderness of mind for broken twigs, fallen leaves,
and crooked saplings; and then after piling
them on the rubbage heap, Jump up with a
shout and rush on to new cultivations. Wipe
the slate clean for the new grades that will be
written there; bend back the chemistry book in
the middle and forget the sulfuric acid on Its
first pages; turn over a new leaf in the date
book, and sharpen a pencil for what Is to come.

second-han- d
books for sale. Second-han- d
were almost, as impossible to find as secondhand notebooks are at the end of a semester.
At the end of each course every student has
accumulated numerous books which are of no
further use to him and to which he usually
clings for a period of time hoping that he
will be able to sell them and finally throws away
to make space for the new textbooks.
Textbooks are one of the largest items on the
college student's budget and when they are
thrown a"way It Is like throwing money away.
In the past this has been more or less unavoidable, for there was no marketing place
for used books. One can neither buy nor sell
unless there is a market. This semester there
will be a market for used books, the UniverPHOENIX STORE
sity Book Store. This, in our estimation, is the
most commendable and progressive step which 100 E. Main St.
the university has taken toward cooperating
with the students, and we hope that the students will cooperate with them and make It one
of the most successful enterprises which the
university has undertaken.

The meeting of the Kentucky Press Association last week is one of the really significant
events of the year at the university. Worthwhile as a conclave of the state's editors, it is
eminently important as a means of promotion
of friendship between the university as an or
ganization and the citizens of Kentucky. Rep
resentatives from the Purchase, the Knobs, tne
Pennvroval indeed, from all sections of the
commonwealth were In assembly, and together
viewed the work being done by the faculty and
student body. Needs of the university, in
buildings, equipment and appropriations, became evident to those present at the meetwas created and
ing. A feeling of good-wi- ll
bonds of friendship were welded. Fully cognizant of the proverbial power of the press,
The Kernel looks upon the recent meeting of
these editors as a particularly important one.
The Kernel wishes to extend its congratulations
to the members of the journalism department
for their part in the promotion of this meeting, and especially wishes to extend to the Kentucky Press Association a sincere invitation to
make the university its "camping grounds" at
as many such meetings as it may desire.
