its fourth season in its new and
equipped building, under auspices that augur most favorably for
the continued success of the Little
Theater movement in Lexington.
Monday night and other nights this
week every seat has been taken and
some thirty or forty persons each
evening have been obliged to stand
up. Because of the enthusiasm with
which the play has been received,
Romany officials have decided to give
the play on Monday and Tuesday
nights of next week. It will be impossible for the play to run longer
than Tuesday as the theater is being
used for other purposes Wednesday

U. K. RIFLE

In last week's Kernel there
peared an announcement of a contest to elect the most popular girl
in the university to be conducted
by the Kentucky theater in connection with the showing of "The
Collegians" series of films; every
week-en- d
at that theater.
This contest has been called off
owing to the feeling on the part
of the administrative officers' of the
university that such contests
should be limited to the campus
The management of the Kentucky
theater was perfectly willing to
continue the contest, but it expressed its desire to cooperate with the
university officials in anything for
the good of the school and accordingly consented to call off the contest.

Kernel Reporter Turns Inquiring Eye on Student Directory

(By DOROTHY DARNELL)
"There is nothing new under the
sun." The writer has been convinced
of the truth of this statement after
a careful study of the given names
in ihe student directory of the University of Kentucky for 1926.
Who would have supposed that out
of 2,000 students in the university
there would be 67 Williams, 42 Marys,
and 83 Johns.
Names, like fashions, come and go.
But through all the ages, the names
that have most inspired the parents
to endow children, have been taken
from the Bible. First and foremost
comes "Abraham," typified by his
wonderful faith. With him, we class
"Isaac" and "Ishmael," his two sons.
After Abraham, and closely related to
him is "Aron" of the ready speech.
Let Ezekiel and Obadiah have the
foresight of their prophetic ancestors.

shall be first," is presumably the rea

The Girls Glee club of the Univer

new role when they present to the
students of the university "Trial by

"Trial by Jury" is a comic take
off of our present 'jury system. It is
a trial of the jury in the form of a
cantata whose cast originally was
made up of men with the exception
of the plaintiff who was a woman. As
the girl's glee club is presenting the
opera, the cast will be composed entirely of women, with Miss LaUna

Miss Josephine Frazer the part of the

It seems that
the annual feverish spring story, but
its been too cold for fever, and we're
too sleepy to be springy, (vile puns
but we have to fill a column, somehow.)
It's the loving season but we
can't find a single poem about "In
the spring, tra la" which hasn't been
used by former feature writers.
Anyway we've been having so much
fun posing this blame stuff that we
can't get out of It and into the spring
enthusiasm all at once. It will have
to come gradually like freckles and
the payments on our new clothes for
the season. We haven't escaped from
our journalistic facetiousness of the
winter as yet, but if these warm days
continue we'll in time acquire the
style of a Mrs. Southworth or an
Ethel M. Dell, heated adjectives, and
romantic silences. (Seriously wc tried
to escape the editor and hand in a romantic silence for this week but he

Two of the selections, "Liebes- traum", and the overture, "William

The Campus Has Its Own Signs That
Spring Has Arrived and the Robin and
Yellow Daffodil Are Not Among Them
(By ALFRED P. ROBERTSON)
Being at a loss for a subject for this
week's outburst of abracadabra, I appealed to the honorable managing-edito- r
for assistance. He suggested
that I make discourse on the well
known combination of spring, love and
poetry. The two latter are out. I
know nothing about poetry and less
about love. The former, however, has
its possibilities.
Technically spring makes its appearance among us on the first of
March. Like some" of our trains it does
not always conform to schedule. The
first of March in Lexington may find
us breaking snowdrifts or going to
class in rowboats. The arrival of
spring is usually decided by the citizenry in general by the appearance
of song birds and the budding of trees
and flowers. Not so on the campus.
The campus has its own criteria by
which that welcome season is recognized. They are peculiar to the campus and unmistakable. Perhaps you
have observed them. If not I shall

enumerate some. Look about for them
and if you find them you may be
certain that spring has come to the
campus.
When a goodly number of the
"Campus Charlies" appear arrayed
as were never the lilies in the raagnif?
cence of a light suit, yellow oxfords,
patterned shirt and mogadore tie, it's
spring.
When couples stroll up Maxwell
arm in arm at the approximate speed
of a block an hour, it's spring.
When the male of the campus repairs each afternoon to a sorority
house and spends the remainder of
the day dangling his legs over the
balustrade of the porch while he spills
his newest line to any d who will
listen, it's spring.
When the turf in front of the flagpole begins to' take on the appearance
of a plowed field under the tramp of
marching feet, it's spring.
When the dlassroom assumes a vi- co-e-
