The Kentr.ckian Queen will be chosen at S p.m., Feb. 17, in
Memorial Hall. Each year the Kentuckian Queen is chosen in
an annual contest, which is designed to pick the prettiest girls
on campus to represent the school in the yearbook.
The announcement of the queen
trill be made at the Kentuckian
Dance to be held on Feb. 18 at the
Student Union Ballroom.
This year, fcr the first time, the
fraterities were asked to submit
candidates. Of the 32 Greek
organizations cn campus, 27 candidates have been named for this
year's contest.
The girls will be judged in
formals by a panel of four judges
at Memorial Hall. The judges will
also talk with the girls as a group
in order to rate personality.
The Kentuckian Queen contest
and dance is cne of the oldest
affairs on the campus, having its
beginning about 1919. The dance
was first organized to help raise
revenue for the yearbook. The
queen contest v.as started to attract interest In the dance
At first the finalists in the Kentuckian Queen contest were chosen
by popular vcte cf all the students
enrolled in school. For several
years six girls were chosen but
none of them was named queen.

girls were ebofren by popular vote
and in 1926 a contest was held
selecting six "beauties" and 21
'favorites". During these years

The other day as I was walking down the street picking up
tinfoil (Philip Morris, incidentally, has the best tinfoil, which
is not surprising when you consider that they have the best
cigarettes, which is not surprising when you consider that they
buy the best tobaccos and the be t paper and put them together
with skill and loving care and rush them to your tobacco counter,
fresh and firm and loaded with gentle smokinrj pleasure to lull

(I have, incidentally, the second largest ball of tinfoil in our
family. My brother Eleanor's is bigger-mo- re
than four miles

of course, he is taller than I.) the other day,
as I was saying, while walking down the street picking up tinfoil,
I passed a campus and right beside it,a.movic theatre which
specialized in showing foreign films. "Hmmmm," I said to myself, "I wonder how come so many theatres which specialize
in
showing foreign films are located near campuses?"
And the answer came right back to me: "Because foreign
films are full of culture, art, and esoterica, and where is
culture
more rife, art more rampant, and esoterica more endemic
than
on a campus? Nowhere, that's where!"

Earlier tin's year the Kernel wrote an
editorial about student responsibility to the
University, emphasizing the need for mature
lnhavior among the men ami women at

As pointed out in the first editorial, obnoxious conduct like this n fleets on the
University as much as on the individual.

is even more serious

Evidently the editorial didn't help much
because there was an outbreak of destructive rowdyism in the men's dorms last week.
Two fixtures, one in a Hradley Hall bath
and another in a Kinkead Hall bathroom,
were blown up. Dean of Men Leslie L.
Martin estimated the damage at a $1(K).
y
This alone makes the vandalism a
offense. It doesn't account for the
possibility that someone might have been
injured by the explosions. A boy could have
easily stepped in the bathroom just as the
power crackers exploded. The chances are
lie would have been hurt.

The administration has not been able to
stop the vandalism because the other students will not reveal who the offenders are.
This is the same as condoning what has
happened.
This is not a minor infraction. Property
has been destroyed, and the reputation of
the University lias been smudged.
It's time to act like adults. The old hih
school code of loyalty to rule violators is
childish and should be discarded. Let s be

Undoubtedly presented to the assembly
in good faith. Dean Martin's suggestion was
not one that would benefit either the University or its student leaders. A few a very
few will assume more duties than they are
able to handle. However, real leaders know
their capacity as both students and officeholders. They will not "bite off more than
they can chew."
If it is true that one or two students have
sacrificed their grades for offices, it is lamentable. In general, though, the University has

Barring some scattered exceptions, the
old proverb "if you want something done,
get a busy man to do it," still applies. A
is the kind of
true leader and office-holdperson most people like to depend upon for
more than one job.
Surely it would be ridiculous for SGA or
any other group tojimit the number of offices a person could hold. If the talent is
unlimited, why limit the goals? Of course
there may arise the problem of the
student that tries to take on too many
positions. This is bad but it would be much
xvorse to limit the potentiality of the real
student leaders. It is a silly thing to cut off
one's nose to spite the lace.
SGA quickly disposed of the suggestion
to limit the number of offices open to a
student by simply bringing it up for discussion and then dropping it. It is good that
SGA made no motion to carry out the limit
on leadership. Just because there will be
mistakes in leadership, no one expects limitation of the phases of it.

The suggestion was brought to the assembly by Dean of Men L. L. Martin. Dean
Martin said that it had been called to his
attention that some students held a good
deal of campus offices and were sacrificing
their grades as a result. lie said that many
other schools had provisions limiting the
number of offices a student could hold.

IFC Party
The best way to seJLiJ product is to present it to the public.
The Ihterfraternity Council obviously had. this fact in mind
when it made plans to hold a party for independents February 7.
Crteks and independents are both factions that form the
University. The IFC is not trying to condemn the philosophy
of remaining independent with its forthcoming policy, it is
merely trying to show that fraternities oiler many advantages to
all types of male students.
Manned as an informative party, the IFC event will be no
"high pressure" gathering of fraternity men. In effect, the IFC
believes its ha'S a good product to sell and it wants to show it
to the students.

Kernel Condemned
Dear Sir,

Force Eating
Compulsory eating in the Donovan Hall
cafeteria has been one of the major topics
of debate among freshman and sophomores
this year.
The discussion participants are new, but
the problem is not. When first the idea of
compulsory breakfasts and suppers in Donovan Hall xvas made known, there was a
flurry of protest. Many fraternities prophesied doom to their commissaries and kitchens.
Other groups said it xvas wrong to tell a
young man where to eat his meals.
Despite all the arguments, the compulsory
meal program was inaugurated last September. All freshmen and the sophomores living
new administration building was proposed for the UK campus in last xveek's
edition of "The Workshop". Although many
other buildings hold priority over a new administration building, it would be a nice
gesture for the alums to underwrite the
cost and present the building to UK at the
centennial celebration in 19G5.
A

the horse loving students on
campus are trying to organize a polo team.
It's not bad idea considering the Hluegrass
is thoroughbred heaven. Hut while we're at
it, let's stir up some interest in other minor
sports such as wrestling, boxing, and soccer.
A few of

in the dorms ate their morning and evening
meals at Donovan. Naturally there was much

disagreement between the students and the
faculty. Being told where and when to eat
day after day is certainly one of the greatest
losses of freedom.
A recent student survey (conducted by
the Parliamentary Procedure class at UK)
s
revealed that many residents and
at Donovan Hall are dissatisfied with
the present set up.
The compulsatory rule seldom works out
in am thing; perhaps SGA could set up a
committee to investigate the problem and
solve an unhealthy and growing situation
at the University todav.

The Kernel is the most spineless, gutless, and cowardly paper
in the nation. It has consistently refused to take a firm stand on
any issue this year. In fact it has violated all the rules of good
journalism. To my knowledge it has covered up facts detrimental to the administration in at least six stories this fall. In
fact it is worse than last year's Kernel, and that's pretty bad!
The Kernel has degenerated to nothing more than a cheap
advertising sheet embroidered with a few dull stories.
And may I ask you one question: do you have to be a
journalism major to be Colonel of the Week? Your biased attitude on this matter is sickening. Probably journalism students
are the least qualified people on campus to be Colonel of the
