Announces

The onnunl dance held in former
years after tho Washington and Lcc
game will not take place this year, according to an announcement from C.
R. Mclchcr, dean of men.
This will be the first time in several
years that the Woshington and Lcc
game will not be followed by a dance,
the proceeds from which arc used to
increase the funds for sending the
University band on its trips with the
team.
James Hester, president of the SuKy Circle, said that there was a
University senate rule to the effect
that no dances may be held by University organizations before Thanksgiving, and that Dean Mclchcr gave
as his reason for denying permission
for tho event that it would be better
that no exception be made to this rule
in the future as in the past.

Nominations for the annual
beauty contest closed on

afternoon, with 21 co-eentered. These young ladie! are representatives of the various sororities
on the campus and of the unorganized

artist or illustrator. This year, the
selection will be on a different basis.

should enjoy one of the most successful musical years in its history. The
material in both clubs indicates a decided improvement over that of last
year.

A questionnaire circulated among
the Glee club members shows that all
tho girls, with practically no exceptions, have had piano lessons. A
large number of them have had pre
vious voice culture and play a variety
of instruments.
Owine to the fact
that many fine voices were discovered
the club has been organized into a

The girls have
learned a number of difficult compo

be presented by members of both
clubs. If results justify it the two
clubs will be combined into a University chorus, Mr. Lampert said. The
clubs will be ready for their initial

The second convocation of Univer

Mr. Walworth K. Bradbury, manager

Power and Its Appjeal."
Mr. Bradbury is a delightful speak
er. His story of Niagara, both from
the romantic and utilitarian standpoints, is most entertaining and instructive. In view of tho great interest that is being taken in water power
development in Kentucky, Mr. Bradbury is a most welcomo visitor. The

Miss Dingman has traveled all over
the world and has done much for
the general improvements of industrial conditions, particularly in China,
where child labor standards have been
quite unsatisfactory in the past. When
she was in China, in 1925, Miss Dingman stated, that the standards for
child labor were very low; in fact
there were practically no standards,
for the children work at any age, any
hour and under very trying circumstances, in most cases. Since there
is no good government to enact the
laws, practcally no money to work
with, and few workers, it is conse
quently difficult for China to progress
much industrially.
During the war Miss Dingman did
Y. W. C. A. work abroad, chiefly in
France, where she remained for three
years, and was engaged in industrial
work. She also spent much time in
Jerusalem, and she states that the
Jews there have very high educational

David and Goliath
Kentucky,
Washington and Lee.
Before a record crowd of about 11,- 000 people on Stoll field tomorrow
the sixth chapter of one of
Kentucky's greatest football feuds
will he written in splendid colors.
Again two great, rival hosts are
drawn up in battle array with their
blue and white banners flying. Again
David" and "Goliath" arc the cham
pions of their people and Kentucky is
host to her former conqueror.
From Virginia beyond the moun
tains comes the most sinister threat
six years of gridiron war, the
Washington and Lee Generals, proud
conquerors of Lynchburg, 56 to 0, and
North Carolina State 38 to G, to op
pose Kentucky, queen over Carson- Newman by Gl to 0. Coach Gamage's
bugle has sounded the approaching invasion, his splendid forces are mar
shalled, and war is about to start in
the Southern Conference.
Williams is W. & L. Star
War is h , somebody croaked as
another redskin chewed the crust, but,
anyway, here's the lowdown on this
heavy struggle. W. & L. got the
breaks in her scuffle with the Carolinians last Saturday and the Generals made quite a day of it due to the
dashing propesities of this elongated
Williams, who will register as an end
tomorrow for the visitors.
He escorted a fumble and an intercepted
pass down Jhe field for touchdown
visits and made the score look a little
more healthy than it really was. He
might not look so good tomorrow with
Pete Drury and "Bull Brown clinging
on his scrawny legs, but, anyway, this
sophomore is a bad actor and he will
bear watching.
Williams can snatch
passes out of ten feet of ozone, and
at that height, Portwood and Covington would have to do a balloon ascension to interrupt him. Thus, the Generals' strong passing attack may
leave the Wildcats holding the bag to
morrow.
But, get this in your ear trumpet!
With Uncle Gamage and the best little ole line in the South on her side,
Kentucky will not be without an ace
in the hole tomorrow.
Suppose Drury, Dees, Brown, Forquer, Thompson,
Trieber and Nowack should hold a
Wildcat reunion in the General backfield just about tho time this pass
flinging is started.
The Generals
1,350
would run into approximately
pounds of dynamite, enough to blow
up the whole Virginia army.
'Cats Will Oppose Star Backs
The W. & L. backfield includes
White, a hard plunger, Lott and Thib-odeaa couple of fast and clever ballcarriers, and Faulkner, a good blocker. They average 175 pounds and
compose oue of the most formidable
backfields this side of Georgia Tech
and "Stumpy" Thomason. They can
kick, pass, or run but can they hold
that line? You know if a man goes
anywhere, he's got to start from some
place, and, if you'll pardon tho
"French," ho won't have no placo to
go if Mr. Drury and company happen
to be detaining him.
And, speaking of going places,
Portwood and Covington ain't going
to be staying at home that day. These
boys can really tote a pig-skiand
I don t think Captain Fitzpatrick and
Mr. Hawkins, two 200 pound General
tackles, can do much towards stopping them. Kentucky has eleven men
on the team, ono to carry tho ball and
ten to run in the interference.
Where
they stop nobody knows, but Carson-Newma- n
chased them down tho field
ten times Saturday trying to find out.
Injuries Beset Gamugemen
Still, the 'Cats are in pretty bad
shape. Colonel Gilb skinned hjs shin
on one of the fighting parsons Saturday and was not able to practice all
week. Williams, Forquer, Thompson,
Allen and Gentile are all ailing in
sundry places, but they might be able
to start a whale of an argument if
Coach Gamage should let them in the
game. That stern master had his
proteges playing the old game under
the old flood lights till almost G o'clock
every afternoon this week, and tho
boys were shouting "Beat W. and L."
like they mennt it. No doubt tho
Wildcats are the underdogs in this
heavy tussle, but the worm may be in
for a little turning around about
"bath day."
Kentucky's line will average 192
and will outweigh tho Generals six
pounds to the man, but the W. und L,
backfield, which averages 175 ' utitifi,
more than makes up this deficit in the
team averages.

CLASS REUNIONS
This year the officers of the Alumni association will inauRiirnte
what has Ioiir been n much needed factor in the activities of our
Alumni association: a system of class reunions. This feature is one
of the biRRest factors in the annual homecoming of alumni in most
of the universities and coIIorcs in the United States.
The class of 1908 this year held its first reunion on the campus,
and if we are correctly informed, it was the first reunion of any class
Wo do know for sure that it was
in the history of the University.
the most successful reunion that any class of the University lias
over held. An account of that reunion, written by one of the members of the class, appears in another column on tins pape.
Some Alumni associations use a system of reunions whereby the
four classes that were in school at the same time meet at the homecoming. While this is a most successful way in which to run reunions, the officers of this association believe that it is better for our
needs to have classes from the earliest down to the youngest gathering
This, in their estimation, makes of

the association a body more closely knit as a whole and not one made
up of groups from different periods.
The system that has been planned already has been announced in
an earlier issue of The Kernel. Classes graduating five years apart
from the first on down to the last will meet this year. Those classed
will be as follows: 1869, 1874, 1879, 1889, 1894, 1904, 1909, 1914,
1919, 1924, and the class of 1927. By this system you can see that
alumni of all ages will be present at this reunion. Next year classes

beginning with 1868 and coming in five-yeBy this system
of 1925 and the class of 1928, will hold reunions.
each class will hold a reunion every five years.
In the jast the homecoming of the Alumni has been more or less of
a haphazard affair, a reunion of all classes and with no especial organization. This we hope to correct this year.
The plans which are still in the formative stage already call for
a separate meeting place for each class, with meetings and programs
for each class. This will be added to the general meetings and entertainments which will include all the classes present along with
all others who return home.
A system of class reunions is not begun with the idea of letting
only the members of the classes in reunion return for homecoming,
but with the idea of increasing the number who return, and to make
it more interesting for the homecomers.
Work has already been
started leading to an organization of each class that will hold a reunion this year. Further plans will be made and announced in subsequent issues of The Kernel on this page. Watch for them and
make plans to help the officers made this initial effort a success.

THE WORD "ALUMNI"
We use the word Alumni

strictly meaning the male graduates of

a university, college or other institution of learning, to mean all the
members of the Alumni association of the University, both male and
female. The use of the word in this sense was recently accepted and
made standard by the American Alumni council, in its constitution.
Article one of that constitution reads: "The name of this association
is the American Alumni Council. The word 'alumni' is construed to'
include both alumni and alumnae." This merely to indicate that our
association takes in both the male and female graduates of the University of Kentucky.
