The Kentucky Kernel
Published every Thursday throughout the College year by tho student body of
tho University of Kentucky, for tho benefit of tho students,
nlumnl and faculty of tho Institution.

The writer of anonymous letters is the meanest human being on the face of the earth. He is first of all a
coward; he is lacking in the elements that go to make
up a gentleman and he is usually a liar.
The Kernel has been informed that some letter-writeof this type have been perpetrating their work
on persons connected with the University. The Kernel
staff would like to learn the identity of these writers
that it may cut their acquaintance.

TUB KENTUCKY KERNEL is tho official newspaper of tho University.

of Kentucky, together with n digest of Items of Interest concerning tho universities of other States and Canada.

which has for years called our students to classes with a
set of chimes. The movement has much to recommend
it and there is abundant precedent for such a change.
Other colleges have adopted the idea and several others
are contemplating its installation, and The Kernel believes that the atmosphere on the campus of the University of Kentucky would be changed for the better if
the students were reminded of classes and profs with
the sweet strains "Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here" or
''You Made Me What I Am Today," instead of being
summoned as if they were child labor being called to the
sweatshop. The chimes can be secured for a sum that is
not exorbitant or beyond the power of those in charge
to raise, and we hope that the movement to do away
with the raucous whistle will not be allowed to languish
and wither away.
There need be no loss, not even the loss of the siren,
if the chimes are secured. It could be retained and put
to good use. In the University there are a goodly number of persons who love to talk; in fact, a number who
are wild on the subject. The principal drawback to
their ambitions is the fact that great difficulty is found
in finding an audience when they wish to do their verbal
gymnastics. The whistle could be put in chapel and
any one so inclined could go and toot for his audience.
Between the speakers and the whistle enough hot air
would be produced to warm the room and there would
be no further danger of chills or chilblains. Of course,
classes would be disturbed by promiscuous blasts, but
who cares anything about classes, anyhow? We believe in the conservation of our resources and the encouragement of volunteer oratory. We might suggest
in this connection, also, that those who just must talk
could join a literary society.
Since we began to knock, we may as well continue.

however, that a number of students have become humpbacked looking for this fountain only to find themselves
when they discovered it in the same predicament as old
Mother Hubbard's dog. Why not give that fountain a
chance to show what it can do?
What a wonderful place our campus will be when

wished.
