In the early fall, when the sopho.noros and freshmen were so zealously contending for class supremacy, a 'l'J banner was secretly hoisted to
the top of the Hag pole which stands on tho front campus nnd so noosed as
to be impossible of removal by any ordinary means.

The little piece of rag remained on the role for several months until,
a few days ago, it was with difficulty removed at no little expense and
risk. Moreover, it seems a sacrilege to replace Old Glory with a square
of dirty sheet with scraggly figures scrawled upon it.
The impropriety of placing the banner on the pole, the trouble taken
it and tho lack of consideration of the respect due our country's flag Invited the thought that perhaps it would be a good plan for the
students to establish a precedent in regard to this flag pole which would
be "strictly neutral and hands off."

Render Unto Caesar.
Frequent complaints of the behavior of State men at recent
"student" dances, given in the city, have been received by authorities in
the University. The criticism has come from citizens of Lexington and is
directed at certain dances which have been held in the city proper during
the last few months.
The Kernel takes this opportunity to correct a false impression. The
dances in question were not student dances and were given as dances absolutely independent of the University in every particular.
The majority of State dances are given upon the campus of the institution. All University dances, whenever given, are efficiently directed and
chaperoned and are assuredly not open to the criticism here referred to.
