KENTUCKY'S PREMIERE
Kentucky awaits the national premiere of
its 1930 football team at the theatre on Stoll
field Saturday night. The smile of fate, forthcoming as it seems destined to be, sends us
hurtling off on our quest of the Southern con-l- y,
witnesses the debut of the best band in the
South with its new life and blood, led, as it
will be, by a new drum major and the newly
elected sponsor, Miss Virginia" Dougherty in
ference championship. Saturday, slmultaneous-whoincidentally, the Kernel takes particular
pride by reason of the fact that she is a valued
member of- - its staff.
It is possible that so intense an anticipation
of Saturday's event might blur the true conception of just what the occasion means to Kentucky.
The Kernel goes backstage for you. Dress
rehearsal is over, and Coach Gamage's groomed
eleven is ready to step before the footlights
for its Initial performance before the eyes of
the country. Not merely the beginning of another football season, it is the second serious
bid by Gamage for the southern title. Not only
is a new cast to be given its first trial, but also
the indomitable fighting spirit and clean sportsmanship; not just the relatively weak Sewanee
team to play, but a mountainous score to be
rolled up if Kentucky is to gain immediate recognition from critics.
The coaches and squad have a heavy responsibility to shoulder. It means more than the
premiere of the 1930 football season. There must
be fulfilled the obligations left to us by the valiant Blue and White team of last year; and
there is the realization that unless we win the
conference title, the honor that we could
have done them has, in a large measure, failed.
That is the cruel pressure under which our football team this year must work throughout the
entire season.
What Kentucky makes of tomorrow, whether
It succeeds gloriously or fails, the nation will
make of Kentucky. Our Wildcats will be fighting with the disadvantage of being rated one of
the better teams in the country. Should they,
despite that, go dashing through the schedule
to a dramatic triumph, no previous Wildcat
team will have claim to so gallant a victory.
The first note of the band is our cue. On.
on, U. of K! Let's go!

BE CONSIDERATE
Our hitherto unimpeachable student body has
acquired a habit that bids fair to become a
tradition, but alas, an unwanted one. It appeared spasmodically last year, and unfortunately has
quite regularly during
this week. We refer to that inauspicious habit
of throwing empty cigarette packages, various
paper containers and miscellaneous papers
about the campus walks. About the environs
of certain oft frequented haunts these unsightly papers and refuse assume mountainous proportions.
We are confident that these venial lapses on
the part of the student body occur in moments
of forgetfulness. But then, explain their regularity. For the information of those unenlightened offenders we remark that receptacles preordained for that purpose, namely the depositing of refuse therein, can be found in the various campus buildings. If the public demands
it, a personally conducted tour to prove the
existence of these receptacles will be arranged.
Then again a few mlsguWW scholars have
that quaint old custom of ignoring
the cement walks and taking to the greensward.
In the course of time another ugly "cow-patwill mar the university campus.

that visitors do inspect the university grounds.

frue, the Inst few years have shown grauuul
improvement in student enthusiasm, particularly
at football nnd basketball games. SuKy Circle,
student pep organization, has been moderately
successful in uncovering and fanning dormant
student spirit through the medium of pep meetings held the night before games. It has bred
a spirit of familiarity between the cheer leaders
and the student body which has aided lmmea-sureabin the public exhibition of school spirit.
However, were It only for the opinion that
outsiders gain of the university by its cheering
and pep, there would be little ground for holding the student body to its obligations of verbally expressing its enthusiasm under the direction
of cheer leaders. What "pep" Is primarily intended to be. is encourgement of the team that
spends almost half its time on the campus practicing the sport that students particularly care
to see. If there were no reason for demonstrating enthusiasm other than that the team representing Alma Mater deserves it, the least that
could be done would be to give vent to mighty
exultation, and then express it whether or not
it is felt. That is school spirit.
Formerly there existed a partial excuse for
poor support and pep from the student body in
the fact that the university boasted of consistently poor cheer leaders. The Kernel hopes such
is not the case this year. It is inexcusable for
a university of more than 3,000 students to
comb from its ranks only mediocre members for
any type of office.
SuKy this .year is being held doubly respon
sible for student pep in as much as the university athletic teams in all sports show promise of
combinations.

CAN YOU WRITE?
After the disinterest in letter writing manifested last week, we were of
the opinion that we would not be required to
write anything this issue. Alas! Also alack!
We were wrong to such an extent that that
watery look in our eyes is even more pronounced than before.
Out of the letters sent to The Kernel, one
bore the signature of A Student, but also gave
has name, address and phone number. It reminded us that we had forgotten to mention
the fact that the name of the writef will not
be used unless desired. However, such communications must be accompanied by the name of
the writer so that we can check it for purposes
of determining authenticity.
Now that that is off our chests, we will get
down tothe letters we purpose to print in this
issue. One of them is from the student mentioned above and the other is from Kansas City.
The former continues last week's discussion of
the new military uniforms; the latter propounds
an idea new and novel. In fact, it is so novel
that we would engage in raucous laughter were
it not for the references mentioned. We are
sure that Cpach Harry Gamage will appreciate
the suggestion. Further, we are positive that,
in case he does not appreciate it, we will be
conspicuous by our absence whenever he endeavors to discuss the matter with us in personam. With deep breath, we take the plunge:

BROKEN DREAMS

I built my hopes to highest skies,

I watched my guilded castle rise,
Its paths of gold, its pearled panes
Its gardens' flower-borderlanes;
Each turet reaching highest sky
Had seemed to all the earth to cry
My hopes, my Joys, my love for you,
All that my heart hoped would be true.
Then after many lonely days
I stood and saw our castle razed,
And rent as under from the skies;
There, see, in ruins now it "lies.
When years have mouldered it to dust
Yet still is buried there my trust;
"Of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these, It might have been."
