At one of our recent gatherings there were a few dozen students present and one faculty member. He came to introduce the speaker, who had
given up his valuable time to come to the University and address an array of empty benches. A wonderful impression of State he must have
There is a number of faculty members and many prominent men of
the city who would gladly address the students upon matters of interest.
A few more selections of music and the discussion of subjects with which
the students are vitally concerned are our suggestions.

Why not have a committee of students to arrange student exercises
once a week, or if that fails, why not have "chapel" only once each week
and make it something worth while?
The Kernel is not quarreling with the established order of things, but
as spokesman of fifteen hundred students, desires at this time merely to
suggest the changes here indicated with the hope that both faculty and
students may see their plain and positive duty in a new and clarified

light

Then and Now.
Two strikingly evident modifications in the social life of the University of Kentucky have caused adverse comment among those who are interested most deeply in the University and its development.
The time has not been long past when all State social functions, especially the dances, were attended largely by faculty members and University students, both men and women. Many of the instructors would
take advantage of the opportunities which University gatherings supplied
to meet the students upon a social plane.
Our recent dances and social gatherings have been
through the scarcity of faculty members and State students.

conspicuous

We have one of the most representative and most efficient faculties
in the South, but it has not been the observation of The Kernel that the
instructors as a whole take sufficient interest in general student activities.
Therein they undoubtedly lose a positive opportunity for much good
upon the students.
The social life of a university

should bring all students and instructors of the institution together more and help to build up a common feeling of loyalty to their Alma Mater.

As to the
student chapel period, it seems to be a myth. One
thing may be said in its favor, that is, it allows a study period of
hour, during which the industrious may take advantage of the opportunity.

Editor's Note This is the real

It seems that our chapel exercises have grown to be something of a
farce. As a rule, the attendance consists of a mere handful of students,
and the rostrum is usually as bare as the traditional cupboard.
