construed to reflect on the instructional staff of the Military Department, nevertheless, it insists that it
shall guard jealously its right to discourage at any time and in any department of this institution the use
of so crude an instrument as the boy-co- tt
by students upon fellow students
to punish cither fancied or actual offenses upon this campus.
Klscwhcrc in this issue of the Kernel there appears a statement written
by students of the department of
Military Science, which not only sets
forth that department's viewpoint in
this controversy in an admirable and
dignified way, but recognizes apparently throughout its tenure, that the
controversy is a student affair and
docs not refer to departmental heads.
The Kernel finds it difficult to refrain at this time, however, from expressing regret that the threatened
cmbarassmcnt of the Annual was not
taken in hand promptly by leaders in
the Military Department and stopped.
We arc satisfied that if the heads of
that department were really aware of
the gravity of the proposed step 'they
would have used their good offices to
discourage it.

"THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BEFORE ME."
Reports persistent that a certain element of young men performing the
of critics have

taken it upon themselves to criticise
adversely, and from our point of view
harshly and unjustly certain activi

Circle of the Uni
ties of the
versity.
Some years ago when the student
body was suffering from the oft re
pcaded and generally just charge that
the University student body was without "pep;" that it didn't back up its
athletic teams and other representative
bodies; that it was lasping into the
lackadaisical habit of just letting
things run at loose ends, a nun:ber
of outstanding men and women, jealous of the Universitiv's reputation
and taking this criticism frankly to
heart organized what is now known

as the
It is the writ
er's positive observation that from
that hour to this the University has
participated in no public function, ath
letic or otherwise that has inv.ted riv
;:lry, that this splendid body of young
students has in. come to the fori and
supplied ample evidence of colbge
sp rit, enthusiasm and back:ng, the
absence of which had hitherto i)e."n so
noticeable.
Upon what ground these de i ab e
gentlemen, resting upon their lofty
perch of superciliousness and grati-tcu- s
criticism, not to say mor; or less
innocuous des".ctttde, assume U- read
metal lectures .torn their eyri; perch,
is not quite clear at this moment.
In season or out of season, in sunshine or rain, night or day, whenever
necessity for
and the
presenting of an enthusiastic front to
the enemy has arisen, this body has
not been wanting. It has sold peanuts and ice cream in slop and slush
of football sidelines; it has dragged
out its friends for bonfires, "pep"
meetings and parades on eves of football games; it has made and bought
flags and banners and carried them in
parades intending to emphasize their
s
faith and their loyalty to their
and this institution; and it has
gone down in its own in its own pockfor the
without number
et times
wherewith to meet expenses of these
efforts.
Rumor has it that the latest ofy
folk have commitfense of the
ted in the eyes of these exotic puritan brothers is that the members used
some of the funds of the Circle to
finance a rooting trip to Knoxville.
The Kernel is in position to state that
his is not true.
But suppose they
had so used them, ye gods: tor what is
y
Circle if it is not for the pura
pose of appearing upon the sidelines
and rooting for their football champions; and what mortal offense would
have been in this organization using
the funds collected by hard knocks
to do the very things that supply reason for its being?
May not the Kernel here inform
these captious critics that the funds
with which the band was sent to
Knoxville were raised through the efCircle, and the
forts of the

AN EXPLANATION
In a communication to Dean Boyd,
of Arts and Sciences, Colonel
George D. Freeman, head of the De
partment of Military Science, calls attention 'to an editorial in last week's
Kernel, in which communication ap
pears the following:
I desire to call your attention
to an editorial "Vanity or Publicity" in the Kentucky Kernel of
November 24, 1922.
The subject matter of this editorial is based on a controversy
between the students taking military science, and the management
of the 1923 Kentuckian
The attack on the military department is unwarranted, and certain false accusua'tions and insinuations have been made against
it without any attempt to investigate or interview this department
as to the truth.
The last paragraph of the editorial also shows a lack of information on the part of the wricer
as the students taking the advanced courses do not receive a salary for services to the m''taiy

of complaint or censure from these

equivalent in peanuts, popcorn and

Criticism is always valuable for its
is constructive, generally potent when
it comes from our friends, but the
doubtful loyalty of the source of this
particular complaint
excites rather
our risibilities than our serious concern. Some fine day it is just barely
possible that the Kernel may publish
the names of a few of these blavcrous
critics and allow the student body to
trace for themselves the inspiration
of their attitude.
When that day ary
rives we shall not hesitate to give
to the names of these leaders.
It would be asking the impossible
to expect persons
imbued with the
love of another Alma Mater, especially if it be a rival institution to uphold
to the limit the traditions and ideals
that long have characterized students
of the University of Kentucky
but it
does expect, and if necessary demands
that while these students arc under
the protection of its foster mother
they pretend loyalty in athletics even
though they be not so at heart.

The
freshman
game netted to the alumni organization approximately $3,500 with which
it was proposed to build a club house
on Stoll Field. Since that time the
bigger idea of a stadium has been born
and it was said that the proceeds of
the freshman game could be used as a
"nest egg" to start the campaign for
a stadium.
In preliminary discussion of the project it has been proposed
that a
stadium be built to enclose the two
sides and the western end of the football field, leaving the eastern end open
for an extension of the stadium in
later years. It has been suggested
also that boxes be sold to former students who desire them with owner's
name and class number placed on the
front.

The Kernel hastens to assure Colonel
Freeman that his observations that
ithe editorial addressed itself ro a
controversy between s'tudents taking
military science and the management
of the 1923 Kentuckian is quite correct. It takes pleasure also in reassuring the heads and instructors of
that excellent department 'that the
editorial stricture complained of was
in no sense intended to reflect upon
such instructors or heads, but was
directed primarily at the discouraging
of a boycott by s'tudents against the
Annual, which, the Kernel had been
reliably informed, had been threatened in case demands for free space
made upon the Annual were not complied with.
The Kernel agrees that the use of
the word "salary" instead of the word
"compensation" intended for scholarship purposes was a desperate and
damning error, for which it craves
pardon.
Although the Kernel regrets deeply
that any part of its observation was
