KERNEL
Gams' Spirits Bopping
Editor, The Kernel: '
For two long years we have be- moaned the fact that the University offered neither jazz club benefits nor jazz concerts, so Friday's
announcement of a possible answer
to our pleas sent our spirits bopping.
It's time UK did what, other
campuses have been doing for so
long. You can count on us for full
support of a jazz concert program,
and we'll be more than delighted to
handle any of the many tasks required to put such a program in
motion.

Friday, October 7. 1949

Look

TlxxisaiKls of alumni from all over the country will pour into
Lexington tomorrow to see, for the first time in history, Kentucky's
Wildcats favored over Georgia's Bulldogs in a Homecoming game.
They 11 meet old friends and take walks across a campus that may
look quite different to them.
We believe they'll see ODK tags galore, plenty of freshman
beanies, fine Homecoming decorations, a redomeled Suky leading
cheers they can follow on mimeographed sheets, a snarling wildcat on a leash and a very sliarp Best Band In Dixie.
We hope they'll see a student body that will cheer its team
throughout tle game, and celebrate just as heartily after the team
wins. We hope tliat if tle team loses, the same students will lx- able to say along with Coach Bryant: "It's still our team!"

A Change Of Scene

An excellent crowd met the triumphant Wildcats last Saturday niglit at Bluegrass Field. We only wish tle team had arrived in time to see the thousands more who were there at 9
o'clock. It was heartening to see that many fans show so much
iuterest in a team that certainly deserved all that and more.
There were a great many disadvantages, however. Nobody
can be blamed for the late arrival, but it was a terrific drain on the
spirit of those who stood for two hours, waiting. It" was also the
reason many more were not there to see the plane land.
But worse still, nobody but those on the front two rows in
the crowd (and the two men standing on a statue) could see the
cheerleaders or the team. The resulting cheers were often as flat
as the area on which the cheerers stood. The new cheers and
unfamiliar songs were completely out of place, also, but even
on old reliable ones, the crowd could not be expected to follow
the leaders well.
We suggest that in the future, when the team returns from a
trip, the welcome lie given in the gym or on Stoll Field. Such
action would offer many advantages.
First, tlte crowd would probably 1m? much larger many peo- -'
pie had no way to get to the airport. Second, the long wait, which
might happen on any occasion, would he much easier sitting down.
Everyone could see the cheerleaders, who could use their own
public address system.
And in addition to tliese advantages, tlere, would !e no dangerous traffic jam at the airport.
We believe the team should lie welcomed, win or lose; but
it could be done just as well here on campus.

Editor, The Kernel:
Wants Recognition At Game
As a former UK student who has
spent
and nerve-- ,
racking hours on a Homecoming
Display and as winner for the last
two years, I would like to call attention to the injustice shown to
the contest winners and to the tireless commitees who make it possible.
Homecoming represents one of
the two largest and most competitive events on the UK campus.
Many winning themes are conceived
months in advance and no small
amount of time, energy and ingenuity are spent in planning and
construction.
Not only are the
worthy of comment but the actual
labor and anxiety of Homecoming
morning add the straws that break
the camel's back. Every student
who has ever been "in there pitching" on a display knows what it's
like to get up at the crack of dawn,
tear around like mad for hours
while others leisurely dress in their
Sunday bests, go to a Homecoming
breakfast, drive through the streets
to see the decorations and exuber
antly stroll to the game in time to
get a good seat.
Yes, Homecoming Is a gala occasion for everybody but the tired
blue-jea- n
who
clad committees
work 'til noon, jump into decent
wearing apparel, fly over to Stoll
Field in time to sit behind the goal
line, and spend the next two or
three hours trying to recuperate in
order to enjoy the "parties" which
they will attend as soon as the
game is over.
But all this could be made worthwhile, if SUKY would arrange for
the justified public proclamation of
the winners! Personal satisfaction
compensates for loss of sleep, time
and energy. But what satisfaction
is gained when the winners are announced to a handful of people at
the SUB dance, twelve hours after
the displays have been judged?

Three cheers for the guys interested enough to give their time and

I, for one, would like to hear some

However, it is still unjustifiable, to
me, for SUKY to sacrifice the gratification of the winners, for a scheme
to get more people to attend the
SUB dance. It hasn't worked in
the past it has only succeeded in
diminishing the incentive to have
winning" display!
The Homecoming decorations are the
Whether, afternoon or evening
traditionally one of the outstanding
features of the day. It is only right let's have those trophies presented
that they should be given a fan-- at the football game II
