Neither 'Cageon'Nor 'Cajan'But
'Cajun' Kitty's New Appelation
The Kernel stands corrected. Its
fair editor has received a letter,
which says very plainly that it is
in error. But the writer himself
corrects a mistake with a mistake.
Wise boy from Louisiana telling us
how to spell the name of our new
klttie, "Cajun," when we knew all
along how it was done.
Our smart sports editor admits
his error in spelling the word
"Cagcon" but maintains that a native of Louisiana and the dictionary
assures him that the spelling is
"Cajun," instead of "Cajan," as the
college editor of Louisiana insists.

My Dear Miss Dougherty:

college papers do and what should
I sec. to my surprise, that you had
unintentionally
insulted the fair
name of the great, grand, and glor
ious people of the swamplands of
Louisiana. Why, dear me, why call
"Cageon"
the poor "wildcattie"
when "Cajan" is the name.
No offense.
The word "Cajan" is an abbre
viatlon for Acadian, the natives
from Acadia in Nova Scotia who
were chased out of their homes
about 100 years ago by some Eng

Louisiana was the place to live,

that corresponded to the African

of our good friends might take or
fense to the statements in the story
by Ed Conboy that reads:
"Since he is a low type of Louisiana feline, the name 'Cageon' might
appropriately fit him."
Nobody would objeci to you calling your wildcat "Cajan" or "Cage

Now you see the Acadian people are
pure French and just as good as
you or I, and it must never be

new library building
Work on
progressing rapidly, and the
building is expected to be ready for
occupancy, by May 1. All of the
as the interior of the two upper
outer part of the building, as well
floors are already completed.
The new building, which will
have a book capacit yof 165,000 and
will accommodate nearly 600 readers, will give to both students and
faculty an enlarged service which
is greatly needed. Instead of the
two service centers now in use, the
main library and the reserve book
reading room, there will be five
distinct centers, all within the library itself. These are: the general loan desk; the reference room,
with its information desk; the reserved bodk reading room; a reading room for graduate students;
and a browsing room. Besides these
there will be twelve seminar or conference rooms, adjoining the graduate reading room, and 48 cubicles
with individual study desks, in the
bookstacks, fro the use of advanced
students and faculty members. A
library classroom with a capacity of
30 individual study desks will be
50 students and a laboratory with
used for the classes in library
science.
A new and attractive feature of
the building will be the open shelf
or browsing room, on the second
floor. This room will be furnished
in an informal manner, and will
give the users of the library a place
for relaxation and pleasure reading
which will be apart from the more
serious library atmosphere of the
rest of the building.
The library is being built in the
Georgian style of architecture. According to M. L. Crutcher, superintendent of the buildings and
grounds of the university, this style
is being used because of its elastici
ty of adaption to the other build
ings on the campus, and because its
proportions are such as to give size
without giving an impression of
masslveness. In location the building forms the cornerstone of the
building plan adopted by the university several years ago.

Knights of Order of Military Science
Choose Coeds for Leaders of Battle
By PAT RANKIN
The Knights of the Holly Order
of Military Science arrayed themselves in all of their blatant and
belligerent glory the other day and
chose the most popular and beautiful girls on the campus of this
university to lead them through
the adversities of battle, and inspire them to greater orgies of sublime, bellicose glory when the appointed day shall arrive.
The fortunate ladies who shall
take part in the deadly enterprise
are the following demure damsels:
Betty Board, regimental sponsor;
Floy Bowling, first battalion; Mary
King Montgomery, second battalion;
Martha Chapman, company A;
Virginia Young company F.; Sarah
McCampbell company Q; Irma
Pride, company C; Jean Dawson,
company B; and Mary Virginia
Fisher, company E.
It is reported that the method
of selection was the highly conventional process of elimination, which
permitted one dark horse to leap
through its holy portals. This fair
young person was none other than
the charming Miss Bowling, whom,
It is said, eliminated two more favored ladles from the enviable position, at the side of some
young premature military
hero in his circus day clothes.
The K. K. K.'s, which the Chi
Omegas interpret as meaning the
Ku Olux Klan, send two fresh representatives, whom they propose to
sacrifice to the ardors of Mars. The
Chi Omegas have no complaint,
however, for they managed to get
a representative in the fray, In the
form of Miss Jean Dawson, the
daughter of the famous Federal
Judge Chas. I. Dawson, whose Judi

cial demeanor must find Itself disturbed at such an appalling situation.
It is a trite idea to attribute all
of the forms of evil in this world
to the aspirations of military heroes,
and blame them with all the woes
of man. History is only the record
of the exploits of these iron men of
the world. If this be true then
there is an Indication in the present
methods of the military departments, that the army is losing its
iron, and resorting to the more subtle means of psychology in a last
effort to preserve its integrity. Never
before has man needed a woman to
lead him to battle. The future
historian will point to this and
say the decadence of the military
spirit set in some time during the
early part of the twentieth century.
Woman, too, has lost some of her
glory. Instead of staying at home,
and caring for the sore and broken
body of her returning hero, she now
leads him into the valley of the
shadow of death, and makes him
think it a lark into the bargain.
Her presence is sure to blind him
to the pitfalls that would otherwise be apparent, and worse than
that she will ruin a perfectly good
fight, because she has never been
able to play games according to
his rules.
There is only one regret which
we have about the matter. A woman's presence makes Inspection
day look more like a gala affair.
She is the side ornament, which
instead of setting off the main
thing draws all the attention to
herself, but perhaps she does make
the men more docile in ranks, but
who in the names of all the known
gods of wars wants a docile army
anyway.

"Spiked shoes and track suits are
being ordered for the university
coeds." wonder what they did with
them? They must have been so
attractive that the members of the
first classes annexed the suits for
their own private use. Oh, and
they had a basketball team composed of girls called the Kittens.
Well, we have one consolation and
is that the fair coeds of long
ago also had to ruin their dainty
shoes trekking over the trails that
some people may call walks.
"Hurrah! for the girls. At last
the "chicken walk" is getting the
coat of asphalt applied to it."

Oh, yeah, and there was another
perfectly riotlous Joke, but it was
too long to put down here, so the
writer will chuckle over it in blissful solitude.

A grand total of 1716 men have
participated
in the Intramural
sports to date, and the season is
barely half complete. Approximately five times as many fraternity
men as Independents have entered
into the competition, which looks
good for the Greeks.
Football drew the largest number
of entrants from the fraternities,
but basketball has attracted many
more independents than any other
sport, and it has also attracted a
greater total of men. Golf was low
point attractor with boxing a close
second. Apparently the independents had no love for free throws,
indoor or outdoor golf, or boxing as
the sports drew none, one, two, and
five men respectively.

New Water-CemeRatio
Method for Farm

enW. D. Kaiser, agricultural
gineer for the Universal Portland
Cement Association, Chicago, 111.,
gave a special demonstration on
Ratio
the new "Water-Cememethod of making concrete on the
Farm," at 9 o'clock Thursday morning before a group of Agricultural
Engineering students.
In his discussion Mr. Kaiser emphasized the facts that, "strength,
water-tightnedurability of concrete, depend entirely upon the
amount of water used with each
sack of cement," and the "need for
thorough mixing, proper placing,
and curing."
Mr. Kaiser was national president
of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers during the year
1929-3At one time he was associated with Prof. J. B. Kelley, who
is now professor of agricultural engineering at the University of Kentucky, as member of the faculty
of Iowa State College, of which the
two men are alumni.
