TO

Wildcats may come and wildcats
may go, but Kentucky has one for
ever. This may not be the exact
sentiment but it expressed
the inmost feeling of many university
students when it was learned that Vergil Johnson, a member of the class of
1928, had brought his fourth wildcat
from its native and somewhat savage
haunts to the fertile Blue Grass region
to serve as official mascot for the 1926
University of Kentucky "Wildcats."
At the first meeting of the Suky
circle this year held Wednesday afternoon, the pep organization voted to
accept the mountain feline on behalf
of the university. It is rumored that
this action was taken only after long
and fiery debate in which some members opposed adopting it due to the
geat cost of feeding" its 'immediate
predecessor. It was explained that
the new addition to the university did
not have the voracious appetite oft
"Hot Tamale" and thus the reluctant
mpmbers were finally convinced. At
any rate when the Kentucky warriors

Possibly, there has never been
such a degree of anxiety and uncertainty about the opening of a football
campaign on Stoll field as surrounds
tomorrow's conflict, not that there is
any doubt about the outcome. Kentucky fans who have followed the
destinies of the Wildcats year in and
year out are of the opinion that this
year will be the crucial one for Kentucky and that with the material at
hand, they will actually achieve ac

senior women this year.

OLD RULES REVIVED

was unexpected and found most
of the fraternities unprepared. The
time for getting house mothers was
therefore placed at the beginning of
the second semester of this year. It
was found, however, that the time was
still too short for the fraternities to
take action so at the beginning of this
semester the time was extended to
September, 1927.
In final ragard to the house mothers,
Dean Melcher suggested that representatives of the different fraternities
meet at a later date to make definite
arrangements.
In regard to initiation a new law
has been passed which will allow no
fraternity to initiate until 30 days
after the opening of a semester. This
will make initiations come in October
and late in February. This plan was
adopted because it is impossible

school and the fraternity house rules
before the men to be initiated will be

Two rules which some few fraternities have disobeyed and which must
be observed this year are: the rule
restricting all initiations to the inside
of the chapter house and a rule prohibiting anyone from staying in a
frat house except members, pledges,
and alumni acively connected with the
university in some department.

Another step in the advancement of
the university was made Tuesday afternoon at a session of the board of
trustees when they authorized thfe
establishment of a curriculum which
will allow the university to confer the
degree of doctor of philosophy. The
university will be the only institution
in the state and one of the few in
the South to offer thi3 degree.
Heretofore the university has conferred only as high as the master degree with the exception ol honorary
doctor's degrees conferred on distinguished persons attending the commencement exercises. For.nerly Kentucky students wishing to attain the
Ph. D. degree had to attend universities outside the state. The granting
of this degree will not only tend to
keep Kentucky students in Kentucky
but will also bring students from other states here, 4bus broadening the
influence of the university.
OthA institutions in the South
granting the doctor of philosophy degree are George Peabody Institute,
Nashville, Tenn.; the University of
Texas and the University of North
Carolina. The courses leading to the

ALUMNI AND THE
UNIVERSITY
The University of Kentucky opened
its doors last week for the session of
192G-2- 7
with the largest enrollment in
the history of the institution. This
news, which in reality is no longer
news, cannot be anything but a source
of gratification and pleasure to the
Notwithalumni of the university.
standing the fact that it is the same
story each fall, ardent alumni cannot
but be pleased with their alma mater.
That the University of Kentucky is
coming into her own, and beginning
to take her place with the greater
institutions of the country, is, as it
should be, something for every graduate as well as every Kentuckian to
be proud of.
It now only remains for the alumni
to live up to their part of the program. Quoting John R. Bullock, Jr.,
of The Kernel, who in
an editorial last week, lor which the
editor of this page here expresses his
thanks and' appreciation, says, "It
has been said that an institution is
no stronger than its alumni. It is to
its graduates that a university looks
for much of its support; it is on their,
achievements that much of its reputation is built." This expressed in a
few words the whole alumni question.
Without the strong cooperation and
effort of the alumni the university
cannot reach its ultimate greatness
and power in educational circles in
the United States. With the fullest
cooperation and a strong alumni association vthere is no limit to the advancement in store for the University
cf Kentucky.
With the beginning of this year,
which from all indications will be the
most sucessful for the University of
Kentucky, it only remains for the
alumni to band themselves together
stronger than ever before and build
up an organization strong in membership and loyalty. With such a
body concentrating on an organized
effort for the benefit and betterment of
the university, the future of the university will be practically assured.
This in brief is our goal. What are
we going to do about it?

THE KERNEL
Keeping pace with the progress of
the University of Kentucky through
the last few years, The Kentucky
Kernel has attained an enviable position in the field of college and university publications not only in the
South but in the whole of the United
States. Each year has seen a marked
improveriTent in the publication and
with the first issue of this year, along
with the university record, comes the
best paper in the history of the

editor-in-chi-

Kernel.

With the installation of a modern
and almost compfete printing plant of
its own the Kernel now faces even
greater advancement and improvement.
The Kernel long lias been one of the
university's greatest assets. It has
been invaluable to the Alumni and
Alumni Association of the university.
The Alumni of the University of Kentucky are peculiarly fortunate in that
they receive the weekly publication
from their Alma Mater. In most universities and colleges the Alumni are
confined to a monthly publication
However,
wholly
of the Alumni.
Alumni of the University of Kentucky
only the complete Alumni
receive not
news but the latest news of the campus through the columns of the Kernel.
The Kernel is sending out young
men and women over the state and
nation who are experienced in the various phases of newspaper publication.
Numerous former Kernel men now
are editing and publishing newspapers
over Kentucky and many others have
gone into the city daily field throughout the United States.
With all due respect to those who
have served on The Kernel in years
gone by; and they contributed in a
large measure to the present success
of The Kernel; the young men and
women who this year are directing and
editing the publication bid fair to
make it the best college paper in thn
country and the very best Kernel in
the history of the university.
