BEAUTY WINNERS
The eight most beautiful girls on the campus have
been chosen and it is not infrequent that we hear comments as to their relative merits as beauty winners.

These comments are usually of a deprecatory nature.
Furthermore they express the general consensus of
student opinion.
The Kernel believes that, the present method of
choosing the beauty winners by nothing other than a
photograph, is a very poor one.
No judge of beauty,
no matter how good he may be, can fairly pick a campus
beauty on a photograph.
The Kernel is of the opinion that the best method
would be to have all the girls who wish to compete in
the contest make an appearance before the students on
Amateur night, when the Stroller eligibles are chosen.
At this time the students could form an opinion of
their own and choose the beauties on their outstanding
qualities, such as beauty of features, figure and personality. A vote of the student body should be taken
the next day and the girl with the largest number of
votes should be judged the campus beauty.
Campus beauties should be chosen by the student
body- and not by some one who has never seen them
This, because she is to represent the beauty of thai
student body.

THE TEAM AND THE CAPTAIN

MARTHA

Another basketball season ends with the University
in the foremost ranks of the Southern Conference teams.
And although it is not yet known as a certainty, it is
altogether probable that the Wildcats will be invited
to journey to the Conference tournament at Atlanta.
If Kentucky takes the trip, fans hold, high hopes of
their returning with the championship, and certainly
the Wildcats have played well enough this season to
warrant that assumption.
The team, composed of new material, has conquered,
during the course of the season, many of its faults.
Wherever the team has gone it has won admirers. And
it has won these admirers, not onlv bv the excellent
brand of ball it has played, but also by its gallant
sportsmanship. And so The Kernel wishes to congratulate each member of the Wildcat squad, and one mem
ber particularly.
That member is Captain Paul Jenkins who, this
season, closes his athletic career at the University.
Captain Jenkins, during the four years, he has engaged
in athletics has made an enviable record, both in
football and basketball, playing always a steady, headv
game. The Kernel would like for him to know that the
student body regrets the close of his career here. And
The Kernel would express again its confidence in the
team. The Kernel believes that they can and may win
the Southern Conference championship.

It is so like you; the red of your mouth,
The gold of your hair, the lace of your hands
Framing the poem of your heart.

Pierces those two crimson hearts

So, most beloved of valentines,
Our hearts are linked by love.
And when another year has passed
You may find remembrance in this valentine.

A GOOD SIGN
The Kernel wishes to acknowledge the gift of the

It is a full worthy gift and will serve to establish
more strongly a movement that is comnarativelv new

intentionally or not, more interest than could be aroused

For it is only through a work of art that the people
of another nation may come to show interest and un

About this queer piece
of iron work, one feels there must be a story, and one
finds that there is a story.
The story is sure to reveal
something about the people around whom it is centered

COLLEGE

TWO-YEA- R

"If we are interested in education for democracy, our
point of attack must fall at different level from that
of the most favored, namely, the intelligent middle class
of the population." This is the statement which Dr. C.
E. Seashore, writing in the "School and Society" magazine makes concerning the present practice of mixing
cultural education with practical education.
Dr. Seashore writes further: "If the business man's
son wants to get something better than a high school
training for business, he is confronted with the situation "four years, no more no less"
What he wants
to do and learn, and what the community needs in the
majority of cases, is a dignified practical course which
will fit him not only for the conduct of his business,
but for a
and intelligent citizenship at
his natural level of employment.
And so, recognizing this not too obvious fact, Dr.
Seashore suggests a
college course, wherein
the student would be given that which would be of
definite value to him, and would not be bothered with
a multitude of subjects which he cannot grasp, and
which he does not need to grasp in the life work he is
fitting himself for.
Dr. Seashore would not, of course, have us abolish
cultural education. He would simply distinguish between the two give education of a practical nature to
those who desire nothing else and give a cultural education to those who desire nothing other than a cultural
education.

In Hell there are no tears
Only a sighing
And a slow dying
Throughout the long, pale years.
There all the brittle hearts
Shrink from the cold, blue darts
That lick around them ceaselessly,
And ever guard them jealously,
The while they pray for tears
In Hell, that knows no tears . . .

Looking Over
The Magazines
o- -

(By J. Clark Graves)
William
Orton's article on marriage and ethics in the February 15
issue, of "The New Republic" should
be read by all those who are interested in the ideas that are associated
with the companionate marriage that
is occupying so much space in the
magazines. Mr. Orton argues that
since the war our ethical code has
been sustained by purely negative
forces and that there is a decided
need for our ethical code to be reconstructed. This reconstruction, he
believes, can be accomplished only by
making parenthood, not the marriage
law, the binding element in society;
by adopting a single standard of morality in which men will be held up
to the same standard as women; and
by the education of women for the
purpose of stabilizing the ethical and
moral code of man.
"A Poet also Looks at Companionate Marriage," by Arthur Davidson
Ficke, the author of "An April Elegy," and other volumes of poetry, in
the February 8 issue fo "The Outlook," without being based as well
on facts as Mr. Orton's article, releases, nevertheless, some interesting
observations. For instance, Mr. Ficke
writes: "Indeed, one can always detect in the marriage views of people
past middle age a grim satisfaction
in their conviction that marriage is
going to be just as hard for young
people forever as it was for them."
Mr. Ficke opposes the views of Dr.
Collins and the more conservative
writers on the companionate marriage
and argues for birth control with
complete freedom of divorce, claiming
that: "The genuine desire for either
party to end a marriage is the only
valid reason for ending it."
In the February issue of
The
Bookman," I see that Upton Sinclair's
contemporary, historical novel, "Boston," has begun serially and will appear in subsequent issues. To me,
the new "Bookman" as a literary
magazine stands second only to "The
Dial," but I do not applaud the ap
pearance of Mr. Sinclair's novel in its
columns. Mr. Sinclair, as we all know,
appeals to a large body of morally exacting individuals who would reconstruct the world upon some vigilant
social scheme and he is ruthlessly
pedantic in his condemnation of ev
erybody and everything that fits into
this scheme. I would suggest instead,
in the February issue of "The Bookman," "Dean Swift and Vanessa," by
Shane Leslie, and "On Some Hitherto
Unpublished Letters of George Mere
dith," by R. E. Gordon George, both
(interesting and valuable articles.

Mr. Samuel Roth, the editor of sev
eral monthly and quarterly magazines, among them The Two World's
Monthly, The Two World's Quarterly
and The Casanova Junior, is a literary plagarist of the first order and
I should like to discourage the reading of his magazines. Besides printing Mr. James Joyce's "Ulysses" with
severe omissions in the text, Mr. Roth
has gone so far as to steal a poem
from one of the leading poets of our
time with no recognition or acknowledgment., of., copyright. Mr. Roth

Editor, Kentucky Kernel.
Dear Sir:
Every educatioaal Institution as
well as every other enterprise in
which human interest enters, has its
pests. Many of them are avoidable,
some are suppressable; but some one
is compelled to endure.
The university has its share of
campus pests, all of whom are irritating to a degree. There is one type
here that is especially irritating to
many hungry souls at meal time, and
that type is the Bluegrass belle who
crashes the waiting line at the cafeteria. By what right does she presume to wedge herself into the lino
wherever she may see a friend ?
Is it because of her overwhelming
Queen of Troy type of beauty, that
male and female alike should do her
courtesy by following her queenly
wake? Is it because of marvelous
scholarship that she displays that she
is entitled to this privilege?
Is it
because of her social brilliancy that
all must step aside and grant her the
privilege which she is pleased to accept as a right?
Nay, nay, Gertrude, it is none of
these. It is merely because she is
either equipped with a subline
aiBoost of egotism that blinds her. to
the most ordinary element of courtesy or that she is supremely indifferent to the attitude of the grumbling1 but courteous males behind her.
Now aay one of these souls would
be glad to accord her the privilege
but do begrude her the right, however, she flutters by, without so much
as a "by your leave, I thank you, or
eo to thunder."
SeriousTy, now girls, if you are so
everlastingly hungry that you must
crash in, go right up to the head of
the line. Or if you have something
important to say to your friend that
you must visit with her right now,
please step out of line and talk where
you will not be disturbed. You are
not gaining anything in the minds of
those upon whose rights you have
presumed. If you want courtesy, just
use the old time policy of fair play,
and you will have no cause to complain. What do you say, girls?
