STARTING A TRADITION
- Every institution, if

of time, gathers about it an
efgrowing number of traditions which become hereditary and are observed
i respected for generation after generation. Experience shows that once
riea successiuuy an annual custom reauny ueveiops .into a irauiuun
."inauguration of it often proves difficult.
,Nu Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa, national campus leaders' fraternity
faken upon itself the Herculean task of starting a new tradition at the
liversity of Kentucky. Following a conference with President McVey
1
week, the organization decided to inaugurate the custom of having all
jshmen burn their caps in a gigantic bonfire on May Day of each year.
f" Long ago it was a tradition at this institution that every freshman
oiild have his head shaved immediately after matriculation. Realizing
at such practices were out of date, university authorities forbade this
t offered as a substitute the wearing of blue and white caps by all
(hn'ian boys as an evidence of their neophytism. The substitution has
been a brilliant and total success because of failure of a goodly per
age of first year men to cooperate in wearing their caps.
Omicron Delta Kappa purposes to show the freshman that in wearing
lis cap he is not showing his inferiority. They desire to make him proud of
his cap. All students have to go through the stage of being freshmen before
they can become upperclassmen; and O.D.K. believes that when it becomes
question of personal honor and responsibility, each freshman will be proud
I to wear his cap.
Tomorrow, the custom which O.D.K. hopes to make an annual tradition

will be inaugurated. Immediately after the festivities of May Day on the
campus proper, all freshmen will go to Stoll field where a huge bonfire will

given a receipt, these receipts will be collected and a check thus obtained of
those who have worn their caps.
The success of this experiment rests with the student body and especially
with the freshman class. The Kernel believes that it is a worthy movement
support of the entire student
and one which should have the whole-hearte- d
,c,body.
It feels that the best possible way to get the freshmen to wear their

THE LIMITATION OP ACTIVITIES

Girls in the University of Kentucky will be limited in their extra
curriculu activities hereafter according to a rating method worked out
byL the dean of women and the Women's
Student Government council. In
adopting this
"point system" for the
work of its
women students, tne university is merely lollowing the path made by
many of the larger educational institutions of the country which already
have such n system.
