production have clamored for attention from their followers at the university during the past week. With
the debate team hard at work in prep-

aration for their first debates less
than a month off, with the selection
of an intra-stat- e
oratorical representative, and with the class in advanced
dramatic production at work in the
production of Shakespeare's "Merry
Wives of Windsor," the student fund
of oral expression finds an abundance
of means of expression.
J. W. Jones of the college of Arts
and Sciences, was selected as the university representative in the intrastate oratorical contest to be held at

Jones was selected in a try-oin the Little Theatre on Wednesday

Professor Grant C. Knight, assistant professor of English of the university, has recently made his debut
in the world of letters by a volume
of critical essays entitled "Superlatives," published by Alfred A. Knopf,
whose books represent the epitome of
English thought today.
The volume is almost unique in its
treatment and varies so far from the
conventional
as to be intensely in
teresting.
The
title which Mr
Thomas has described as the "haupt-sache- "
is indeed appropriate, as the
ten essays composing the volume ai'e
each a treatment of one of the superlative" characters in English literature. The essays are entitled: "The
Greatest Rogue," "The Most Terrible," "The Most Tragic," "The Most
Unreal," "The Most Humorous," "Tho
Greatest Lover," "The Most Memorable Children," "The Most Pitiful,"
"The Greatest Hero.' With the exposition of these ideas as premises,
the writer briefly reviews the whole
field of literature for characters to
fill the qualifications of these superlative traits. The character chosen
is briefly reviewed with the idea of
establishing its identity.
Professor Knight employs a long
recognized
employed
but seldom
method of character delineation: that
is the seizing of one single trait and
making all else subservient to it.
This method is far more stimulating
than the usual conventional procedure, which involves all the variatons
and inconsistencies which detract instead of add to a comprehensive impression. But in this critic's hand,
each character is portrayed with a
perfect clearness that leaves a direct impression and inspires one to
know "superlative" characters better.
Mr. Knight's style is coincident with
the nature of the work a treatment

Two hundred and twenty-seve- n
votes were cast in the Kernel election last Tuesday to determine the
30 outstanding seniors on the campus.
Fifty-fou- r
candidates were mentioned, 28 of whom received one vote
each.
Thirteen votes were thrown
out because they were not signed.
Twelve of the 20 remaining candidates were dropped because the committee felt they had been elected by
politics.
Three girls and eleven boys survived the "cut"; two of the 14 were

athletes.
The names of the successful candidates will not be divulged nt one
time, but sketches will appear in
order of the number of votes each
contestant received.
The first cut
and sketch will appear inN next week's
Kernel.
The count of the votes revealed
some unique conditions.
One girl
who had the third highest number of
votes did not receive any votes outside of her lodge.
The committee
felt that it was purely a case of unadulterated politics. They felt that
if noone except the lodge sisters of
a girl voted for her, she evidently
did not possess the qualities sought
for in this election.
It was revealed that one boy had
received votes from no one except
members of his fraternity.
Before
the recount of the votes, the boy
requested that his name be withdrawn if it were found that no one
except his fraternity brothers had
voted for him. He stated that if they
were the .only ones who felt that he
possessed
outstanding qualities, it
was quite evident that he did not
deserve the honor.
Of the 14 candidates elected, nine
were from the college of Arts and
Sciences; two were lawyers; one was
