Strange things are always happening on the Kernel. The latest

in the annals of newspaper writing.
It seems that Joe Creason. our

they were finally located it turned
out that they had Joined the team

Pep Group Encouraged By Cooperation,
Solicits Ideas For Card Displays From
University Students For Future Games
Because of the success of the flip stunts at last week's football game,
SuKy will continue to use the card display at all home games. The program for tomorrow's game will include more intricate and varied flips.
In this game as in the last, cards will be tacked on front of the seats in
the formation section. Elliott Beard, SuKy president, again urges the students to leave the cards alone until the half.
Ideas for figures to be formed by the card section in coming games are
requested by SuKy. Samples should be made on graph paper, and should
be 14 squares lengthwise and 30 squares across, each square representing a
seat in the card section. Samples for the W. and L. game should be turned
in at the Kernel business office not later than Tuesday night.
If enough suggestions are received for card figures SuKy will sponsor
a contest for the best ideas for figures to be used at the Kentucky Alabama homecoming game. Beard said.
Designs for last week's show .the first time this idea had been used
at the University, included a giant "K" and "O" saluting the rival grid
gangs; "Cats"; "Ab"; an American flag formed with red, white, and blue
's
cards; "On UK" and "SuKy". Both Kentucky's blue and white and
gold and white were used in making the letters and figures.
While the band paraded on the field, the student card flickers formed
the designs under the direction of Randy Rash, Kentucky graduate.

in German schools he stipulated in
his will that a certain number of
scholarships be offered to German
students each year. Behind this
move, according to Rhode's will, lay
a desire to "reach an understanding
between the three Great Powers of
the world (England, United States,
Germany) that would render war
impossible."
The course of history advanced
another road, but Rhodes has
succeeded, from an educational
point of view, in executing! a change

Dr. McVey stated that the purpose
of the Rhodes plan was to develop

"The presence of considerable
