THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

The Kentucky Kernel

HIT THAT LINE
Indications arc that the university will have
great football team this season. At least,
that is the opinion of students and the hope of
the coaches. Alas, how often our beliefs arc
shattered on reality's bedrock I
The success of a gridiron aggregation depends so much upon circumstances extraneous
to the game Itself that failure cosily may result when they arc Ignored or not given proper
In order to be clear, they arc the
attention.
support of the student body, moderate optimism
so that there will not be too much depression
In case expectatins arc not realized, and a determination to do or die with the team, regardless of whether It is successful.
Granting that the players arc going to do
their part In the contests to be played this year,
It remains for the student body at this university to get busy and give It every vestige
of support possible.
And that is plenty when
done properly.
Kentucky's spirit has made Itself conspicuous by Its lack of spontaneity in the past, with
the result that several teams did not do as well
as they would have had they been supported
with undying enthusiasm. Now that the university has grown to be one of the outstanding
educational institutions in the country, it is
high time that petty indifference be laid aside
for the more noble cause that Is the spirit of
the school. Steps should be taken at once to
get behind the team and then to stay there I
To the team The Kernel expresses the hope
that it will be the most successful in the history
of the school, its hope being founded on confidence in playing ability and belief that the
whole school Is going to do all possible to aid
the blue in Its quest for championship honors
this year. Smash that line In front of you this
year and the student body will hit it in spirit
with you.

SCHOOL BELLS
Back in the good old days, youngsters and
others not so young heralded the advent of
school days by loud and prolonged ringings of
bells.
They were tolled for multiple reasons:
to warn tardy boys and girls that haste does
NOT make waste when going to class; to Inform parents and children that knowledge
comes from schoolrooms academically outfitted
for that purpose, and to express pride and happiness that this land of ours is able and willing
to further the cause of each succeeding generation through educational means.
School bells are ringing again at the University of Kentucky, their hardy tappers muted
and scientifically controlled through electrical
Impulse. They are sounding the tocsin of endeavor for those attending this institution this
year. To freshmen and upper classmen alike
they indicate all of the things tolled by those
other bells of another day, and much more.
The additional meanings to be given to them
are those that come with the advanced undertaking and responsibility synonymous with
university education.
In a way, the bells at this university primarily serve as warning. There Is work to be
done here and plenty of it. And the tough
thing about it is that it IS going to be done, or
University officials know that it is the
else!
only sure road to success. Let it be a warning
to freshmen and a reminder to upper classmen.
Muted bells are ringing their story of renewed friendships on the campus, of sports, of all
that goes with the spirit and progress of a cosmopolitan Institution such as the University of
Kentucky. They are sounding a welcome to
newcomers and a greeting to oldtlmers. All
who are connected with the university, all of
its departments and The Kernel join in this
friendly spirit of welcome and extend the hope
that this year will be a most successful one.
It is the duty of every student to respond
and to extend this same spirit to each fellow
student, so that the whole Institution will be
bound by bonds whose very strength comes from
good fellowship.

KENTUCKY PROGRESS
The current issue of Kentucky Progress magazine carries many articles of notable interest,
not the least among which is one written by
Mr. L. Niel Plummer, on prospects of the 1930
Wildcat football team. Mr. Plummer formerly was an editor of the Kernel and lately resigned his position as city editor of The Lexington Herald to accept an instructorship in
the department of journalism at the university and publicity writing for the athletic department here.
Last year upper classmen will remember that
there was no charge for the copies. This year,
however, the publication, an organ of the Kentucky Progress Commission, has taken on such
a tremendous circulation to all parts of the
country that it has been found necessary to
take it from the free list. This, of course,
means that the money thereby obtained will be
used to make the magazine even better than it
has been In the past.
Since the Progress first appeared, several articles about the university and the doings of its
faculty members have been printed. They have
been as interesting as many of the other articles about Kentucky and Kentucklans; they
have aided the school.
Neglecting nothing of interest within the
commonwealth, the magazine should continue
to enjoy its popularity because It displays on
attractive pages the spirit of progress and of
Kentucklans within and without the state.

LONGER RADIO
PROGRAMS
Sixty minutes more of time on the air each
week at the university remote control studio
of radio station WHAS, Louisville, have been
added to Kentucky's
radiocasting
program.
Representing more contact with the outside
world, this time addition is a valuable accessory to the programs as they were last year.
New series of talks and musical renditions
should add to the general attractiveness of university radiocasts, to say nothing of putting at
least one major football game on the air this
season. The little things us well as the large
connote continuation of the era of progress at
the unverslty,

BIBLICAL DAYS

There is n little blue book embossed with
the golden head of a Wildcat being distributed
to freshmen this year. It contains much valuable and needed information to students as
yet not thoroughly acquainted with the rules
and customs of the University of Kentucky. It
Is published under the auspices of the Y. M.
C. A., and this year was edited by Vernon D.
Rooks, sports editor of The Kernel.
The "K" book is popularly colled the fresh
man "bible" by older students because it contains guiding Information for proper conduct
on the part of first termers during their initial
year In school. In addition, there Is something
about various organizations
on the campus,
athletics, school songs, and so on, all put In
the book for the fine purpose of assisting
freshmen along the proper route in college.
Every freshman should cherish his book In
these, his biblical days. From it he will glean
knowledge worthwhile not only at present but
In the future. And in case some of the advice
therein Is not heeded, other more forceful and
not quite so pleasant reminders of the duties
of a freshman to his school and fellow students
will be substituted.

RUSHING

The rushing season now ls officially under
way, with freshmen boys and girls having revealed to them the wondrous possibilities that
arc open to those who are members of sororities and fraternities at the university. The
"rush" is as integrally a part of college life as
the routine of classroom assignments.
Looking at it from an impartial and unbiased
viewpoint, it is good for the rushees, the
rushers, and the school. Spirit arises out of
the ashes of last year's endeavors to secure the
membership of the more promising yearlings,
