Elsewhere in this issue there appears an announce
ment that The Kernel will be published weekly during
both terms of the summer session this year for the first
time in the history of the university.
In undertaking the publication of The Kernel for
summer school students and faculty, the nianagement
of the paper feels that the step is justified even deby the enlarged enrollment in the summer
manded
school, and by the ever increasing interest manifested
in the jiniversity
by students, faculty and town-fol- k

This year also for the first time the journalism
department will offer courses both terms of the summer
session. Last year the department offered courses one
term for the first time, and because of the increased
interest in this work the faculty this year determined
to offer courses both sessions. The Kernel will afford
an opportunity for students in journalism who so desire
to get some practical experience in newspaper work
while attending the summer term of the university.

A LITERARY MAGAZINE
For many years need of a literary magazine on the
university campus- has been recognized by faculty,
alumni, and students. In the past some effort has been
made to promote such a periodical, but because of num
erous difficulties surrounding the undertaking of such
an enterprise the university is still without a literary
publication.
-

Among students and faculty members of the univer
sity there are many with ability to write well. But be
cause of lack of medium in which to publish original
stories, poems, and other works, these persons have not
exercised their ability. At present there is lacking on
the campus' that incentive and inspiration for literary
achievement that a literary magazine shall supply.
A movement is now on foot to establish a literary
magazine at the University of Kentucky and to place the
institution in this respect in the same class with larger
eastern universities. This time prospects for success of
the venture are much brighter and indications are that
the university will have a literary magazine next session
As in the past, the English department of the uni
versity is especially desirous of starting this periodical
A plan is now under joint consideration by the English
department, The Kernel and the department of journal
ism by which a magazine would be published by the Eng
lish department with The Kernel sponsoring the project
financially and being responsible for any financial losses
the magazine might suffer.
At present it is impossible to give out any definite
plans as to the proposed undertaking. But it might be
well for students to keep the idea in their minds and if
and when the opportunity is offered to them, to support
the literary magazine in every way possible by sub
scribing to it, by contributing to it, and by "boosting" it,
The Kernel hopes to be able before the close of the
current session to announce more definite plans looking
toward the establishment of the proposed periodical.
meeting of representatives of the English and journalism
departments, and of The Kernel staff is now being
planned and after it is held, more definite plans can
probably be annuonced.

Tomorrow afternoon Stoll field will once more echo
to the thud of bat and ball when the Kentucky Wildcats
attempt to claw their way to victory over the Michigan
Wolverines. Theoretically, the baseball season at the

all practical purposes the saeson will officially begin to

University students have not always taken as much
interest in baseball as they have in certain other sports.
But this year if the attendance at Monday's game can be
taken as any indication, students are taking more interest in this sport than in past years. The football and
basketball seasons were certainly not brilliantly successful but they were brightened by the unwavering
loyalty of the student body. Perhaps given this same
support, the baseball team will be able to finish the season with better success than its predecessors.
Regardless of the outcome of the season, however,
students should do their part and support the nine in
every way possible.
And we have a hunch that the
team will do its part also and will be a credit to the
university.

VIRGINIA BOYD, Editor
As you who have read the editorials know and you
who have not will soon know, the University of Kentucky
is to have a literary magazine next year. For years it
has been the cherished hope of those that write and
those who enjoy what others have written that Kentucky
would be able to produce a literary journal which could
hold its own among the many splendid publications put
out at other universities. This isr the first year that
we have been able to even see a ray of light. It has
always been the ever-presequestion of funds that has
been the obstruction of our aspirations.
It will be
through the combined efforts of the English department

and the journalism department, then, that the magazine
may be realized.

now Is how to fill it. tt ought to be an easy task but
will it? There are many students who attend the uni
versity who do write and who are interested in writing
but who are negligent about turnine work in. This will
be the problem of the editors, to get people to cooperate.
Be thinking about it now and during the summer and
return to school in September determined to contribute
your best efforts to both the literary magazine and this
section of The Kernel.
Both the editorial staff of the literary magazine
and the literary editor of The Kernel will be announced
in the near future.

O WILD PLUM BLOSSOM

Wild plum blossoms falling, falling on my hair,
Tell me, when shall I go
Under the dark cool sod
(That knows most surely God
If ever earth can know)
Whence wild plum blossoms come to fall upon my hair
Away from death and tears
While through eternal years
Bloom other trees in countless, countless springs,
And to my coming sister all as fair
And sad, and wise, the wild plum brings
Its blossoms falling, falling on her hair. . . .
