Next!
Dr. Tlgert, autocrat of the class room, master of philosophy and
metaphysics, favorite of chapel audiences, connoisseur of droll wit and
biting sarcasm, football coach par excellence, gave evidence of an hitherto
unknown accomplishment last Sunday when he blossomed out as a journalist in the Lexington Herald. The tnugazine section of this paper contained the first of a series of articles, to bo run each Sunday according to
tho announcement, on "Football History In Kentucky," by J. J. Tigort.
Last Sunday's article had to do with tho early history of tho game in this
State and comparative scores of tho Kentucky teams. Next Sunday the
stories of some of tho important battles in which Kentucky State has participated will be published.

The Kernel would like to publish these articles in their entirety, but
their length this is out of tho question. Tho Information in
them is accurate and detailed, and tho stylo is of tho kind that is generally
known as breezy and full of "pop." Wo believe ovory student in tho
enjoy them.

The Kernel is making plans to get out a series of special editions during the second semester which will be devoted to several of the various
branches of student activity. There will be a Literary Issue, a Girls' Issue, a Fun Issue, and probably others. Tho dates of these special editions will be announced later.
The Literary number will be issued within the next few weeks and
will be devoted almost entirely to things literary. Contributions of poetry,
short (very short) stories, and literary contributions of every kind are
solicited and we hope there will be u liberal response. Hecause of limited
space it will be impossible to publish any contributions which are unduly
long. For this reason many contrib itions have gone into the waste basket in the past. All contributions must be signed, although we will not
divulge the writer's name in case he does not desire it known.
The Kernel has been unable in the past to give as much space to literary matter as it has wished because it is strictly a newspaper and not a
literary publication. But there is talent in the University which should be
given opportunity for expression and by giving virtually all one edition to
contributions of this nature we hope to gain that end. The members of
the Canterbury Club have agreed to contribute, as have many other students, including some of the young women of Patterson Hall.
Wo want to make this edition of The Kernel a big success, so please
drop your contributions in The Kernel box at the Main Building door.
And above all things, BE BRIEF.
