RECEPTION ON FRIDAY RED PAINT IS APPLIED MEET
In order to formulate plans for the
year, the Union and Patterson Literary Societies held a joint meeting last
Saturday evening, September 18, in
the Patterson Literary Society hall.
The meeting was called to order by
O. M. Edwards, and nominations for
chairman" being declared in order, J.
T. Gooch was elected by acclamation.
Devotional exercises were conducted
by M. U. Conditt, who read a chapter
of the Bible and led in prayer. After
the devotional exercises the organiza
tion of the meeting was completed by
electing W. C. Shinnick secretary.
The purpose of the meeting was set
forth by (Messrs. O. M. Edwards and
L. Nelson as follows:
That there
must be something done to arouse literary enthusiasm among the students
of the University, that not only must
enthusiasm
be aroused, but some
means must be devised by which we
may place the societies upon a practical basis; that the funds in the treas
uries were exhausted and financial
embarassment Is suffered every scholastic year because of the lack of
funds. It was also stated that the
president and the deans were backing
the societies and that the Freshmen
and others were desirous of joining
the societies.
Many plans were suggested by
which the emergency might be met,
and after due consideration the assessing of initiation fees and dues
was decided upon, viz:
(1)
Each
new member should be charged $2.50
initiation fee and be exempt from further fees for the ensuing collegiate
year. (2) Each old member should
pay $1.50 annual dues, to be paid In
two equal installments at the beginning of the first and second semesters,
respectively.
A plan of campaign was adopted al
so, which
as for the chairman to appoint a committee of two, one mem- her of the Union Literary Society and
one member of the Patterson Literary

Suddenly Darius Theodore Skinner,
for this was the detektiv's name, tho
up till now it had remained disclosed,
rose from his revolvln desk chair, and
with the sang froid that had distinguished all his actions, walked across
the room and faced a closet door,
which until this moment had remained
immute.
He opened the door with a Jerk
and there was disclosed to his eyes
for the seventh time that day over a
dozen disgises. He had bought them
"at greatly reduced prices to all our
graduates' from the correspondense
skule and had tried them on many
times to show them to his friends.
Darry T. (as he was nown to his
friends, a very select few, tho to the
masses he was Mister Skinner), took

Quick thinkln, which had caracter- 'd his work and had obtaned faver-abl- e

He sat down in the office chair,
drew a cigaret from his pocket and
begun to smoke in a office boyish

a sound and the only noise resulting
from his Jump was the racket made
by the cooler falling from a shelf and
breaking a glass.
Darius T. Skinner, the famous correspondense skule detektiv, crept

He was a stranger! The detektiv
nowed this at a glance, tho he did not
impart his knolege to his visitor.
The stranger wore a slouch hat and
a loose fittln coat. His trousers were
torn at the left knee and bespattered
with mud. As the mud was on the
back part of his trouser leg, the detektiv nowed that he had been running. He did not tell the stranger that
he knowed this, for that would have
been a gross error In detektiv work.
Darius T. Skinner, the great correspondense skule detektiv, had been
caught in one of his disgises and in a

night in its room at Patterson Hall
to discuss plans for the coming year.
The officers for 1915-1are Ina Darnall, president; Marie Becker, vice
president; Josie Lacer Hays, treasurer; Mary Hamilton, secretary.
Much enthusiam and interest was
displayed last year in the society. The
play, "The Kentucky Belle," which
was given, proved quite a success,
and with the proceeds,, additional furniture for the room was bought.
It is the purpose of the society to
give another play this year in addition
to the regular work of literary nature.
A definite series of authors will be

Evidently the boom in the matrimonial business which was so widely
advertised in the last issue of The
Kernel, has stimulated interest in
the preparation for housekeeping, as
this year's enrollment of students in
the Department of Home Economics
Is sixty-onan Increase of thirty per
cent over that of last year.
Of this number eight are Seniors
and thirty-fiv-e
are Freshmen, an increase of eight over last year's
Freshmen enrollment The number
of women entering this department
with full college credits has increased
seventy-fiv- e
per cent in the last two
years.
The working force of the department has also doubled in the last two
years, and Home Economics faculty
meetings are by no means unusual occurrences.
Miss Mary E. Sweeney,
head of the department, has recently
been appointed head of the Extension
Work in Home Economics for Kentucky. As this new work will necessitate her absence from the University
from time to time, the classes in physiological chemistry, sanitation and
nutrition will be taught by Miss Ellen
Reynolds, in Miss Sweeney's absence.
Miss Reynolds, who has recently
been appointed assistant professor in
this department, is a graduate
of
State, and has done advanced work
in the University of Chicago. Miss
Ruby Stivers, secretary of the department, is also a former State student.
Miss Clara White will assist Miss

will also conduct a special class In

Coach Tlgert says that he does not
know much about the Butler College
team this year. State defeated the
Indianapolis lads two years ago, 21
to 7, in the opening game of the season. They may spring some surprise
this year. The seven points they garnered then, it will be remembered,
were made after Schrader had dropped
the ball on the Butler
line
and one of their team recovered it
and made a ninety-yarrun for a
touchdown.

Townes also has offered the valuable
suggestion, which will be put Into effect In due time, of giving the new
Barker Stadium a blue and white effect. The small posts around the
field will be painted white and the
large corner posts will be adorned
with a coat of blue. Blue paint will
be administered to the lower half of
the goal posts and a white coat will
be given the crossbar and the projection above this.
Plans are being pushed for a big
day on October 2, when the opening
game will be played with Butler. Hon.
E. B. Morrow and Hon. A. O. Stanley,
the Republican and Democratic candidates, respectively, for Governor, in
all probability will be present. Judge

SIGN POSTS AND

A story is told of how a man who
later became famous was once lost
In a snow storm when he was a boy

and how he found his way home by
climbing up a sign post and touching
the pointing hand, which showed him
the direction to his home. Ever afterwards in his life he tried to govern
his actions by events which seemed
to bo sign posts pointing to the correct course of action. Poets also like
to use the figure of the sign post and
frequent allusions to this are found

now only a curious relic of the past.
Bulletin boards, too, were once one
In
f the most important institutions

newspapers were printed in such
great numbers as they are now, all
notices and announcements were made
on quaint old bulletin boards, with
their "Hear ye," and "Be it known to
all men" notices plastered upon them.
The chief fault with these bulletin
boards was that they reached such a
small number of people, and one does
not regret that they with all their
quaintness have been
en supplanted by the less poetic,
but far more efficient newspapers of
today. A few of these interesting old
bulletin boards may yet be seen on
the campus and to one interested in
