a nice emergency valve for letting

half the big syndicated

to be deplored. Rush week is hectic enough as it Is. Surely the

Newspaper columnists and their
ilk comprise a variegated lot. You
never can tell who will make a
popular columnist and who won't.
And if a columnist is successful you
are hard put to it to explain why.
Columnists are a peculiar breed
even if they do put on their pants
like everybody else.
Billy Rose, owner of the Diamond
Horseshoe. Eleanor Helm, and several other nice pieces of property,
recently started a column because
he "liked to see his stuff in print."
It originally cost him about $1500
a week to get the thing run in the
Manhattan dailies. However, the
column proved to be so popular
that it is now syndicated free to
several large papers. Rose refused
to accept money for it. Wrote he:
-The sight of your own words in

You cant very well deny the fact
that a byline is a great lure for
potential columnists. Quite often

With all due respect to the reputations (doubtful and otherwise)
which will pass through this column each week, we take the dubious pleasure of presenting the
first gossip column of the year.
Ccrky Clarke, the first r.r.d better half of this column, has leng
been acquainted with skeletons in
UK closets and probably knows
more about reputations, amours,
general prejudices and just plain
cussedness than anyone on the campus.
Each year there is a very reasonable howl from the independents,
who claim that they are given little publicity in Kernel gossip columns. The reason for this is easily
explained: scroritiFS and fraternigroups and
ties work in close-kn- it
are usually represented by a person
whose task it is to get as much publicity for his or her organization as
possible. The independents,
who
make up four-fiftof the student
body, are loosely-kn- it
and have no
official public relations officer.
To relieve this situation, we suggest that all independent gossip be
turned in to The Kernel newsroom.
We will be very glad to make this

at least a

column.
The Kentucky Fraternity Man,
one of the neatest jobs of student
publishing done in the past few
years, may find itself gathering
dust in fraternity house closets for
awhile. The magazine was published this fall by the Interfra-ternit- y
Council for the fraternities to use in fall rushing, but
it is reported that few copies
reached or stayed long in rushees'
hands. Rushees probably found the
old fraternity rush and
Jnvestigatictn
appealing enough.
What's the bill, IFC?
Panhellenic Council members are
reported to have witnessed a surprise move this week when a Kappa
nominated a Theta for a council
office. The probable reason: The
Thetas let the houseless Kappas
use their place for a rush party
last week. We think that's right
neighborly.

All over America today travelers are complaining about the discourteous treatment they are receiving on trains and buses, on

even on college campuses. The loss
