Kentucky defeated the Commodores by the comfortable margin of 41 to 26. but the Cats expect a tougher assignment than the previous game in Nashville. With a tournament bid at stake both teams will have a fight on their hands. It is probable that Coach AdolpH Rupp will start his regular quintet, which has started a majority of the games this season. These five men are Carlisle and Hagan at forwards, Thompson at center, and Captain Donahue and Hodge at guards. This will be the last regular conference tilt for Ralph Carlisle and Warfleld Donahue, the seniors of the regular quint.

HERE SHALL THE KERNEL ALL STUDENT RIGHTS MAINTAIN LESSONS IN ABUSE If the amount of. correspondence this paper has received concerning the condition of buildings and of the campus in general is indicative of the seriousness of the problem, we are forced to believe the problem is a serious one indeed. The general complaint seems to be that an of trash, refuge and other waste particles litters the floors, and that pencil marks and match scratches give evidence that students are careless of the use they make of the various buildings. As reluctantly as we hate to admit it, it may be dogmatically stated that, although the barbed wire fences which surround the campus are an eyesore, a nusiance, and even a physical menace, they are necessary. Past experience has taught the department of buildings and grounds that students will take short cuts, and in so doing, will kill the blue grass for which this region is so famed. It seems a shame that the' student body not more regard for equipment than it has. can think of nothing that would remedy fault, except of course, the full cooperation has We this of a more considerate studentry. WRITING CRAZE essayists, playwrights, and those streamMany lined reocrders, the journalists, have lamented in print the sickening overflow of people who think they can write. Magazine editors and newspaper editors are constantly beseiged by carloads of articles and swaggering young men whose literary talents the world waits for anxiously. A situation such as this exists here on the campus. The Kernel editors became disgusted with their reportorial staff at the end of the first semester and issued a challenge to young scribes who are infected with the prevalent writing mania, to call at the news room, present a rough outline of their genius, and take a position in The number of gifted unthe paper's line-up- . knowns who romped into the office is amazing. As a result, we have a new array of embryonic Brisbanes and George Selah Clarkes. Another sample of the craze is the mobs of students who have enlisted in reporting classes, taking the course in typewritten expression rather than zoology or citizenship. The professors of elementary journalism play to standing room Why this sudden nation-widonly audiences. shift to writing? Chiefly blamable are the movies which constantly cast the heroic star reporter as a whiskey-loving- , nicomaniac who successfully accuses the editor of disorderly conduct, who solves the mystery of the Secretary of State's death, and who society editor. The always wins the lovely-leggecinematic strangulation of press reality is ap palling. It is also indicative of the influence motion pictures can exert. Next to blame are the many inferior short stories and essays that have apjeared in exclusive magazines. What dreamer has never read some story, some cloud of halitosis, that inspires him to thoughts of achieving recognition in a national monthly? It's even money that you have cralwed through a flatulent article and easily reasoned that you could have excelled that bore with a minimum of effort. The uplifting quality of much printed matter exists in e that treatise's inferiority. The final evidence for the cause of the writing disease is traceable to the fact that p
