DEFEAT
Last Saturday the Wildcats went down to defeat at the hands of a superior team from the
the University of Alabama. The final score
stood at 19 to 0, but the matter did not end
there. All this week, students, townspeople,
faculty and others have been discussing the
outcome of a game that brought calamity to
championship hopes rising like morning mists
from the greensward of old Stoll field.
' Blame has cast stigma on the players, the
coaches, the schedule makers, et altera. The
Kernel wonders why this has been done, and
has arrived at the conclusion that everything
that has been said has emanated from a characteristic weakness found in human beings
gossip so comthat of perennial fault-findin- g
monly associated with old maids at an exclu
sive Wednesday tea hour, the only difference
being that those who have been talking so boldly the past week do not enjoy the distinction
of an exclusive gathering.

nel ventures to state, that, as a sporting proposition, it was not played for the specific purpose of having one of the two two teams emerge
the victor. If it had been looked upon in that
light prior to the playing agreement, there
would have been no game because of the prob2,
ability that there might be a
etc., tie. Rather, the two schools met for the
sake of sport, for the opportunity to settle for
another year the element of chance that enhances the attractiveness of any sporting proposition.
Therefore it Is with delight that we arrive
at the conclusion that it was immaterial who
won the game, except from a point of view of
loyalty to the blue and white. Kentucky still
has the best coaches ever to lead a Wildcat
eleven. Kentucky has the best team ever to
represent the university. Kentucky is proud of
them. It matters not to right thinking people
that the Crimson Tide from the Capstone
brought to Lexington a group of football players
indigenous to the Blue Grass this year. Other
seasons probably will find the tables reserved,
but reversed or not, king football will continue
to be' the leading college sport because there Is
more to t than the mere winning or losing of
scheduled games.

trim and keeps them from being hopeless egoists. It also keeps them mentally alive. If they
do not choose to run, it takes brain work to
keep up; if they choose, it takes more brain
work to keep running away.
Progress of this delicate art may be easily
traced through the members of various classes.
Its crudest form is found in the freshman class.
Love to them Is Inherent, taking several years
to polish up the basic characteristics, but like
the chant of the Jungle, it has that fabled "sex
appeal." Men feel so superior and so very masculine when they are with a person who is obviously young and tender and bruises easily.
Then, of course, they rather fancy the idea that
they are the one who is training and shaping
the inherent characteristics of the young
damsel.
When the eds find out that they should have

this age the great and burning question confronts them, whether tq be or not to be naive.

MUSIC APPRECIATION

has received no higher praise
than that giving it credit for having the power
to soothe the savage breast. Delving analytically
into all the highways and byways of the statement, the number of meanings found becomes
amazing. The savage breast does not necessarily mean that of an untutored, naked, cannibalistic individual. It may mean the breast
that is revolting because the exigencies of life
have saddened the heart; or one whuse lm-nbe released through any thing less than
the sublime; or that breast that has become
cold to mere physical enjoyment.
It was with these thoughts in mind that the
writer stood alone and musing near the music
building on Euclid avenue last week, listening
to the flood of melody rushing like a waterfall
out of the windows as the university philharmonic orchestra prepared for its work of the
school year. Similar Ideas would have ensued
had the organization indoors been the men's
or the girl's glee club, a dance orchestra or
one of the bands. And they recalled a statement by a man outstanding in musical activity
on the campus, "We are attempting to give to
the students of the University of Kentucky,
something of the finer things of life. Beyond
the attempt we cannot go. The accomplishment lies solely within their response."
Music appreciation, then, is something without which the student cannot claim a liberal
and cultural education. And that is true. In
fact, it is so astoundllngly true that there is
little room for wonder at the number of persons lacking culture knowledge and appreciation of the things that really are worthwhile
in life. Reversing the syllogistic form of deductive reasonlr.3, the above conclusion is drawn
from premises which, from their very nature,
but thd
call upon appreciation
conclusion happens to be true.
It is not only futile but foolish for students
to argue that they have no time for purely
cultural activity. A small portion of the time
spent loafing or Idling on nonproductive dates
would be sufficient. Then again, if the university would recognize the need more uniformly,
there would be more educated persons graduated from the institution. But it seems that cannot be done, for it would be without precedence
here. And without precedence a person sponsoring such activity would be persona non grata.
It is remembered that last year the music
department at the University of Kentucky prepared to stage the oper "Rosamund." Three
days before the presentation, university officials
prohibited it because a few of the cast did not
have the mathematical standing necessary to
keep a student away from the dean for the
semester. Thus fell by the wayside one of the
more laudable cultural undertakings of the year.
Other schools freely sponsor such activity. They
realize that there is more to life than work,
food, sleep, dollars and cents. Why not here?
He with appreciation is compensated who can

INDIVIDUAL THOUGHT

Individual thought is responsible for the progress of the world. It has been stated that
within the past century civilization reached a
point which, according to historical records, was

thorough educational training which our indeEducation gave

them the foundation on which to work and encouraged them in discussion and presentation
of their ideas.
Today it seems that people, instead of taking
advantage of fine examples set for them, are
becoming dependent thinkers. Literally speaking, the attitude is being accepted that it Is
unnecessary, owing to the fact that they would
rather accept standard opinions to formulate
their own thoughts. We may ask why. Are
we being trained toward independent mental
development as our predecessors were?
Paved road pioneering is our job. Schools,
colleges, and life are handed to us on a glided
platter in the form of set plans and lessons
compounded from Ideas conceived by a few original thinkers. The Instructions read, "accept
this, learn It by rote, and question it not." We
obey, because it is the line of least resistance,
because we do not choose to know better.
After six lessons via correspondence, the
problems of the world are untangled for the
timid soul who is afraid to attempt to meet
life outside the printed page. We can learn
how to live, die and eat gracefully via the U.
S. malls. Even college degrees are being issued
by correspondence, third class mail matter.
Schools say learn and accept the printed
word, agree with your professor, think as the
others think and graduate with high honors.

that he Is capable of consistent Individual

some analytical thought, that he is mentally
efficient. The attitude of institutions of learning today Is the direct crcntion of those attending them. It will continue to exist as
long as students are willing to accept It. Individual thought is the only way to npproach
education which will cultivate and prepare us
to be Individual thinkers.

EDITING A PAPER
The contents of a newspaper, and particularshould be according to
public opinion, Just whatever the readers of
that paper may fancy. The editor and his
assistants arc persons to be piled with notices
of importance, and the fact that such a notice
should most certainly rate page one.
The time a paper should be Issued must depend on the whims of the constituents of the
publication. If they can think of nothing in
particular which relates to their activities after
Wednesday, then surely the paper should have
no trouble in appearing on time; but if information can be found Thursday afternoon or
night, it seems to them that It must be expedient to hold up publication until such a time
as they are quite ready to divulge information.
To fulfill the Ideals of all persons on the
campus, contents of a paper probably would
be something similar to the following list: All
statements which the faculty desires to make
to students and their fellow faculty members;
glowing accounts of all honorary meetings;
activity assemblies; student
ideals for said sessions; faculty conferences,
with due consideration given to the leaders,
members, and trailers of the respective organizations.
Continuing, the inhabitants of a particular
college would suggest Improvements vcfrylng
from a column contributed by members of the
faculty on subjects relating to religion, to the
or scathing ediEinstein theory, and what-no- t;
torial comment on anything arousing displeasure.
Other colleges would cooperate in displaying
their vast knowledge of Journalism and what
the public wants. Very few persons agree on
anything, except that the paper certainly contains no news, nothing of interest, and nothing
worth reading.
It Is not the policy of The Kernel to disregard any suggestion given in a spirit of helpfulness and friendship. Students and faculty
who are responsible for the appearance each
Friday morning of the school newspaper are
Thoy oppreciate the kindnesses of
human
many on the campus who endeavor to aid in
securing the necessary facts of news.
Many steps are esentiasl before a story reaches the columns of the paper and, consequently,
the student body. To give an idea of the network through which facts are sifted an example
is cited. The news editor (usually an
fellow) hears of some events. A reporter
Is sent to get the facts, frequently by interview.
He returns and types his story. It is then
read carefully by an editor, who deletes all
mlstaes in grammar, selection of words and
inaccuracies, so far as possible. A head line
writer next proceeds to label the story. The
linotype operator sets the story in type. A
copy of this type, is made and sent to a proof
radr, who carefully marks all mistakes for correction. The operator takes it again and cor-ec- ts
man then
Indicated errors. The make-u- p
fits the story and its companions to make a
page. This form is placed on the press and
soon the printed page is ready.
And then we sometimes hear the query: "Why
It
didn't you write an article about
happened last night."
Editing a paper is a proposition that keeps
those who would work, ever on the alert. The
pubic is a hard taskmaster, but a Journalist,
be he editor or cub reporter, seldom wishes
to quit his profession.
The Kernel desires to aid in all movements
tending to better spirit and activity of the student body. Cooperation with the organizations,
faculty, and other governing factors of the
campus Is desired, if the school newspaper Is
a success. We ask that you help when you
can; but be forebearing when we seem to faiL
We realize that there probably Is a stupendous
amount of thought back of most suggestions.
But they are not always practical.
