the situation, so that The Kernel might express
their opinion.
Loyal students are of the opinion that the
team deserves nil the support that the student
body Is capable of giving, but those same students contend that they cannot give It through
the medium of the cheer leaders because the
leaders cannot "put it over." Students have
tried to follow cheers, but find themselves un
able to do. At the Centre game many were
anxious to cheer, but were forced to sit and
listen to the cheer leaders argue and quarrel
with them, with the result that the team started
playing before the cheering began.
Let It be understood that The Kernel Is not
knocking the cheer leaders as a result of any
personal attitude.
Its editorial comment concerns only promotion of better spirit toward
the team through the medium of such capable
cheer leading as the players deserve.
SuKy announced to The Kernel last week that
It would organize a pep club this week for the
purpose of working up pep for the Clemson
game and subsequent Wildcat athletic engagements this year. The members of the club will
sit together at the game and will do all that
they can to promote enthusiasm for the team.
SuKy Is to be commended for this forward
step. It Is an original idea at the University
and one that should go far toward binding together the entire student body In a spirit of
loyalty. The Kernel Is fully In accord with such
movements and will do all that is in Its power
to promote the Interests of the pep club.

Now, a word to the student body seems to be
fitting In view of conditions prevalent at this
time. There Is little doubt that the boys and
girls at this school have failed to show the
proper degree of pep and enthusiasm toward
the team; and In so falling the students have
visited failure upon the cheer leaders in the
sense that they have been expecting too much
from the leaders, who are willing to do the best
they can under their limitations.
Therefore, students, get from urider that smug
attitude which connotes that you don't care
what happens so long as you can sit back in
comfort while others work for you. If you remain passive, failure is going to come to the
team, perhaps this Saturday, when Clemson's
red menace comes romping from the southland with the highest scoring team in the

AND

cheer
Owing to the necessity of adequate
leaders to promote proper enthusiasm toward
the team, The Kernel has waged a veritable
war of editorial comment on the subject. However, it has not done this merely because the
editors think the cheer leaders do not conform
to the standards required of them.
The Kernel has been conducting an Investigation as to the attitude of the students on this
subject, with the result that more than seventy
per cent of those questioned have said that they
are of the opinion that the cheer leaders selected by SuKy are not the best that might have
been selected, and that they are incapable of
developing into good leaders. Hence the editorial comment.
Now, a member of the Circle has become
aroused by reflections cast upon his ability to
select cheer leaders. As proof of this the editor
has received a letter from Frank Davidson,
president of SuKy, in which President Davidson sets forth his views upon the subject. In
order to show his attitude, a few excerpts from
his letter are given here, and they will be those
pertinent to this editorial.
One paragraph of the letter contains this
amazing statement:
"The SuKy Circle has
sponsored, among other things, the pep meetings of the University, ever since the Circle has
been organized. Owing to Its standing and
purpose on the campus, it has always felt itself
competent to select cheer leaders."
That statement was made in reference to an
editorial which mildly suggested a way in which
cheer leaders might be selected in the future.
It intimates that President Davidson feels that
he needs no suggestions concerning the matter
under discussion; that he knows best what plans
to follow; and that his plans are the plans that
will be followed, student opinion to the contrary.
Another paragraph states: "The Kernel editorial concerning swearing on the part of one
the cheer leaders was wholly in keeping with
the interests of the school, and the Circle, and
the athletic department remedied the cause at
once." The question naturally arises, why did
the athletic department have to censor the conduct of the cheer leaders? It seems that a department in no way connected with selecting
cheer leaders had to step In and do the work
which Mr. Davidson should have remedied
In person in his representative capacity as president of SuKy, more especially since he feels
himself competent to handle the cheer leader
situation without assistance or suggestion. It
should cause no worry to the athletic department, which Is concerned with the scheduling
of games and the promotion of athletics at the
University.
Finally, Mr. Davidson laments the editorial
policy of The Kernel as follows: "If The
Kernel would discontinue to knock the cheer
leaders, and give them the support that they deserve, the SuKy Circle, and many members of
the student body would believe that The Kernel
was meant to bo an encouraging factor to loyal
students, who are giving their best to the
school."
That statement is stretching the point a bit
far. The Kernel is an encouraging factor to
loyal students. The investigation mentioned
above was made for. the sole purpose of determining Just what students generally think of

A TRIBUTE TO "DADDY"
BOLES
The eyes of the students and of the people
at large have been opened this fall to many
improvements in connection with football games
played on Stoll field. The most progressive of
these include the erection of flood lights, the
use of amplifiers on the field and the radio
broadcast of the Washington and Lee game.
A notable step was made with the erection of
the twenty powerful flood lights along the rim
of the stadium. With the aid of these lights
the University can now schedule night games,
which are gaining in popularity in the larger
universities throughout the country. Many people, who because of various reasons could not
attend a game during the afternoon, are thus
enabled to witness the Wildcats' games. Another feature of the flood lights is the additional
practice hours which the Big Blue can use to
good advantage.
Many favorable comments were heard at the
W. and L. game in regard to the use of the
public address amplifiers.
The announcement'
of plays, players, and substitutions was a great
help to the spectators; especially those who
did not know the individual players or were
not close enough to readily Identify them. Perhaps the greatest aid was realized in the requests for quiet when the teams were calling
signals.
To "Daddy" Boles, now full-tim- e
Athletic
Director of the University, goes most of the
credit for these great Improvements. The
Kernel rejoices with the student body that we
have such a man at the helm of Kentucky's
athletic department, for he'll certainly put
Kentucky "on the map" athletically speaking.

DR. A. M. MILLER
Students and Alumni of the University were
grieved to learn of the death of Dr. A. M.
Miller, professor emeritus of the University.
Doctor Miller was recognized as an authority
on geology and petroleum In Kentucky, and at
the time of his death was working on a
geological map of North Carolina. The unfinished manuscript was sent to the University. He
became a member of the University staff in
1892, and remained on the staff with the exception of one year until 1925, when he was retired.
Noted for his scientific research and knowledge of the formation of the earth, and kindred
subjects. Doctor Miller will always be remembered for his intellectual influence upon the
University, and for financial aid which he supplied to many students who attended the University.
A bill has been Introduced in the Nebraska
legislature prohibiting a student at the state
university from joining a fraternity until he
has spent a year at the school. It would take a
measure of this sort to stop rushing at Ken
tucky. And howl

WILL DRINKING
CONTINUE?
Last year at the beginning or the University
session, officials and students were confronted
with the question "Shall Drinking Continue?"
There was only one course for the University
authorities to follow and that plan was adopted
when all University dances and social functions
before Thanksgiving were curtailed.
Students Interested In regaining for them
selves the right to hold dances took the situation
In hand and formed a concerted drive against
drinking at the University. Led by The Kernel,
Scabbard and Blade, Omtcron Delta Kappa, and
supervised directly by the Men's Student Council, the whole situation came to a head when
The Kernel on December 1, 1828, in a special
edition carried the following resolution of the
Men's Student Council:
WHEREAS: The constant infraction of
the United States Prohibition act by a
minority Is encroaching upon the social
rights of the majority and endangering the
future of the reputation of the university
and the provision for social life of the students, and
WHEREAS: The Men's Student Council
was granted, by the Constitution ratified
by the University Senate, the power of
punishing the Infringement on good conduct
by students; the said Council now deems
majority
Itself obliged to the
to exert that authority in the management
of University functions:
BE IT RESOLVED: By the power granted to the Men's Student Council by Its constitution that it does hereby ordain and
establish a court composed of members of
the said Council, and for the purpose of
administering the punishments of reprimand, suspension, or expulsion from the
University, of any student un'der the influence of Intoxicating liquors at any University of Kentucky function. Appeal from
the court shall be only to the University
Senate.
AND: This resolution shall be published
In the student newspaper and shall serve
as notice and warning to all above mention
ed orrenaers.
MEN'S STUDENT COUNCIL,
(Signed) James R. Hester, President,
Upon the strength of this promise of faith,
of a representative branch of the student body,
dances were permitted upon the campus once
more. Of course tnere were onenaers, out mose
men who could not obey the law were effective
ly punished by the Student Council.
With the beginning of the session this year the
Student Council retains power to prohibit drink
ing at University dances. The Student Council
remains ready to enforce its' sentence of expulsion upon students who persist in disregarding
the law.
Up to the present the Council has not been
forced to take any action in regard to campus
drinking. At the SuKy dance held after the
Washington and Lee game, it has been inti
mated that there was some drinking. This re
grettable fact leads The Kernel to issue this
word of warning to students who are apt to imbibe liquor too generously. There is a punishment for this infringement of the University
laws, and it is the duty of the Men's Student
Council to minimize drinking at the University
by imposing the punishment.

'The Awful Truth'

STUDENT TICKETS

There recently have been many abuses of student athletic books at football games. Students
upon accepting the books, signed a pledge that
they would neither loan nor transfer them. This
pledge has been violated at virtually all games
this season, especially at the more important
encounters.
The Kernel feels that abuse of these books by
students is due to thoughtlessness and a lack of
thorough understanding of the pledge which
they have signed. Not only is it a breech of
faith on the part of the student, but it amounts
to an attempt to cheat his own University out
of the price of the ticket. The price of every
ticket, that Is turned in at the gates, must be
divided with opposing teams.
It is hoped that this abuse of ticket books will
not be repeated and that students will cooperate
with the University Athletic Council in the
proper use of this privilege.
Following the editorial Instigation by the
Kernel, a plan to transfer student tickets for
reserve seat tickets has been adopted by the
Athletic Council. "Daddy" Boles has announced that students may transfer their student tickets for a reserve seat for $1.50, when
they purchase another reserve seat ticket.
The Kernel approves this plan and feels sure
that the students will appreciate the efforts of
the Athletic Council to solve the seating problem which has confronted it.

LETTERS FOR THE
RIFLE TEAM

Several campus organizations are backing a
movement to give varsity letters to members of
the rifle team. It seems logical that teams representing the University and making reputation
for the University should have such recognition.
Only members of the R. O. T. C. are eleglble
to become members of the rifle team and this
Is one of the arguments against giving letters
for this sport. But such activity brings honor to
the University military department and for a
University to rate high In this activity is to give
it a good standing In the eyes of the War Department, which In turn invites wider recognition in other branches.
A letter Is an incentive for a competitor In
any sport to do his best. To become an expert
in firing the rifle requires many hours of hard
practice. To have nothing in sport to look forward to, except to become proficient in that
sport, is limited Incentive to get the best out of
that sport.
Kentucky has won the cup for the best rifle
team in the Fifth Corps area two years and one
more win will make that cup a permanent possession of the University. It is our belief that
members of the team should have recognition
on the campus, thus making it possible to get
the best that can be had from a rifle team and
win national recognition in a minor Eport at the
same time.
