MAY DAY
With another spring comes another May and the
crowning of another May Queen. So we join with the
universities and colleges throughout the country in carrying out this
tradition.
time-honor-

On this day every student can abandon his books
festival which serves
and worries and join the care-fre- e
the old English custom that is our heritage, that of celebrating the coming of new life to the earth, and the

general rejoicing over the crowning of a beautiful girl
as queen.
This program which has been announced for the
University celebration this year is one of the best and
most elaborate ever attempted. From the convocation
in the morning and the parade and folk dances in the
afternoon to the "Gingham Dance" at night, the day
will be one full of pleasure and one long to be remembered. The committee should be congratulated for the
work they have done to make this day successful, as well
as all those who take part or put forth any effort which
adds to the program. It is up to the student body to
show their appreciation by attending all the festivities
and entering into the spirit of May Day.

AN APPRECIATION
The Kernel wishes to express its appreciation to The
Lexington Herald for the courtesy they have extended
to the department of journalism; that of permitting
journalism students of the University to take charge of
the paper for one day and thus gain some practical experience in the editing of a real daily newspaper.
This custom is one that has been carried out for the
past four years and each year it has brought to The
Kernel staff and to journalism students one of the most
enjoyable experiences of their lives. It has aided the
student, too, in forming some idea of his chosen profession and has enabled him to make a decision regarding what may be his life work.
Those who work on this edition of The Herald are
amply repaid by the interest the University as a whole
takes in this enterprise. We trust, in this respect, that
we may not disappoint the student body nor the faculty.
Our every endeavor will be to represent the University,
as best we may, trusting that this representation will
be to the credit of Kentucky.

WE CONSIDER

trusts that this interest will continue.

sooner or later have to choose between the United States
and Russia as a friendly ally is a remark that provokes reflection. Certainly It would be to the advantage of boh countries to cultivate one another's friendship. Serious problems in which each nation will have
natural interest must eventually confront us.
And it is just as certain again that no better conductor for the promotion of that understanding and
friendship exists than in the colleges and universities of
the two countries. It is for the students of the United
States and in Canada to bring their respective countries
into a closer harmony.
Pan Politikon, the sponsor of this study of foreign
countries, and to whom this fleeting glimpse into the
characteristics and traits of the people of other countries is due, has performed for the University a great
service. Next year it is to be hoped that even more interest will be taken in their program and in the countries students are to study.
