Recently Tut Klrnkl was informed that the petty thievery
racket which strikes the campus every year had broken out again.
Dean Jones said students had reported to him the theft of eight
overcoats, which had been taken from classrooms in various buildings on the campus.
Two coats were removed from the Administration building
and one from Kastle hall. Locker space is provided in the open
halls of both these buildings, as well as others, to place apparel
during class recital ion. The coats were taken from those places

It is quite a simple matter for someone to pick up a coat,
put it on, and wear it out of the building without exciting any
attention. Until the small time crime ring is demolished, it is inadvisable for students to hang their wearing apparel outside of

By BUSH BROOKE
If "and when any person should
conceive the fancy idea of making a
literary name for himself by attempting to write the "great American novel", may ten thousand gods
summon all their wrath and smite
the offender from the earth!
Such was the philosophical comment of Margaret Mitchell who skyrocketed to fame on the wings of the
trials and tribulations which she underwent in gathering and assimilating material for her book, to Dr. L.
L. Dantzler,
English department
head, Saturday.
Husband Was Kernel Editor
Visiting the Bluegrass with her
husband, John R. Marsh, managing
and exchange editor of the Kernel
in 1916. and at present connected
with a Georgia utilities company, she
dropped in at the Journalism and
English departments for a short
after which the Atlanta
couple returned to Maysville.
While talking with Dr. Dantzler,
she freely discussed the problems she
encountered in writing GWTW, and
the greater difficulties she is encountering now with persons she accuses of "pirating" her manuscript.

Names Were Difficult
The task of gathering the his
torical material was a monumental
task in itself, but Miss Mitchell re
garded the selection of names for
her characters as an undertaking not
to be belittled, said Dr. Dantzler.
For instance, in one scene, men
tion is made of a Captain Randall,
who is a Confederate officer in
charge if digging trenches and
erecting fortifications to stem the
Yankee advance on Atlanta. The au
thor contrived and discarded innum
erable names either because they

didn't sound right or because there
was a conflict with some Southern
family with whom the name might
be confused.

Bakery Wagon Helps
Glancing from her work one day,
she peered through the window at
her home, and spied a bakery wagon with the name "Randall" written on the side. Instantly she selected the name for her officer, Captain Randall.
Some time after the publication of
her book, she received a visit from
persons who said they were members
of the Randall family, descendants
of a Civil War soldier whose name
was Captain Randall of the Confedcaptain,
erate army. The "real-lifeit turned out, had at the time of the
seige been engaged in precisely the
same work as the book's fictional
character was described as doing.
O'Hara Backfires Too
Some trouble was experienced in
selecting Scarlet O'Hara as the
name of the heroine. Miss Mitchell
spent considerable research, scouring the telephone books, city directories, and other directories in Atlanta, Savannah, and various Dixie
cities, for a proper signet. Finally,
when she could find no name of
"O'Hara" listed in any directory,
she gave that name to Scarlett.
While the book was in the New
York publishing house waiting to be
printed. Miss Mitchell was nformed
that a Bishop O'Hara had been ap
pointed to the Catholic diocese in At
lanta. She asked the publishers to
postpone publication until a suitable substitute name could be chosen
but the firm wired back that any
postponement would boost the expenses. The name Scarlett O'Hara
stayed in the "copy". After the book
had come off the press. Miss Mit
chell related how the bishop toured
several European countries, and was
asked, "Where's Scarlett", almost
everytime he registered.

Delirious Coeds
Pen Pretty Poems,
Grab For Males
By ALICE KLING
"Come on coeds, here's your chance
To take your tail to a Leap Year
dance.
For every dance he's made the date
Now why don't you reciprocate?
The sweater swing is Leap Year
style
Co-ocoeds; give It a trial.
Now if some female's hooked htm
first.
Come stag, and lady, do your
worst!"
Dedely Kathman

Yes, ladies, here is your chance.
Let there be no more moaning and
groaning about dateless nights, for
this week is Leap Week, wherein
the tables are turned and the gen
tlemen sit nervously awaiting the
telephone's ring
One of the principal events of the
week is today's sweater session, to
be held from 4 to 6 p.m. in the
Union ballroom. For two hours, girls
will have their revenge on superior
males, for the coeds will make the
dates and do the breaking and the
boys will have their chance to be
the "belles" of the ball.
In case some more aggressive
female has gotten to the favored
one first, girls, don't be daunted,
join the "doe" line and give him a
rush. He may like what he sees
and follow up the case when the
week is over and he can once more
assert his natural male rights.
The little item which seems to
have the greatest drawing attraction for our male populace is the
fact that the girls must do the
"shelling forth" for all entertainment while their dates sit contentedly back in their chairs with visions of a wallet not depleted in
the least.
Remember, faint heart never won
fair lad, so let our motto be "University of Kentucky coeds always get
their man."

Stratum urged that the members of
women's fraternities try to break
down the barriers set up by their
pins.
Both independents and the members of sororities not counted among
the "prestige groups" of the campus
may feel more of a barrier than the
fraternity women do, and may hesitate to surmount that barrier, she
snid. It is therefore up to the
"Greeks" to break down those barriers, to see that newer groups have
a cliance to grow, and to include
worthy independents among the candidates for honors.
Dr. St rat ton herself was trying to
"break down the barrier," she said,
as she is not a member of a sorority.
Virginia Smith, president of
council, presided at the banquet and introduced the speaker.
