STUDENT APPRECIATION
The Kernel desires at this its earliest opportunity, to express its
appreciation of the very gratifying position which was taken by the
Council of the University i in acceeding to the request made
by The Kernel through its editorial columns and by personal
appearance of its editor before the Council, that the holiday period incident to Thanksgiving season be so extended as to give students who
desired to attend the annual Kentucky-Tennesse- e
football game at
Knoxville, opportunity to do so without incurring the demerit of one-tenof dne credit from standings of such students as either left for
Knoxville before the prescribed holiday limit or returned to classes
after the concluding limit had expired.
The Kernel realized that in making this request it was asking for
a privilege that hitherto had never been granted by University authorities.
But by reason of the fact that the time elapsing between the
beginning of the holiday period and its conclusion would be too brief
to make the trip, and the additional fact that the student body desires
to establish upon this campus a more unified exhibition of university
spirit, it believed that the Council would at least give the petition
a friendly hearing.
This it did by extending the resumption of class
period until the fifth hour Friday following the game.
The Kernel makes bold to say that it believes the thinking class
of students who respect the rules of the institution will also appreciate
this unusual concession in that it will neither be abused nor will the
University Council have an occasion to regret its action. Indeed The
Kernel desires rbove all things, as far as it lies within its powers, to
create a better spirit of cooperation between University authorities
charged with the duty of administering its academic affairs and the
student body.
It is indeed a positive pleasure to record here this evidence of
what it believes will result in a better understanding between the
students and the governing body.
But in this connection, we hereby
seriously call upon the student body to show its appreciation of this
by the uniform determination not
admirable evidence of
to abuse it .
There will be many occasions in the future when the student
body will have opportunity forcefully to emphasize its appreciation by
further acts of cooperation with those charged with the grave duty
of handling both the University's discipline and its administrative

with
the authorities of tho University and the student body, and hopes
opportunity will present itself many times to justify its pledge.

THE MEN'S STUDENT COUNCIL
Those who are acquainted with the history of student government
on the campus of the University since its inception find in the action
taken by the Men's Student Council relative to the conduct of students
at social functions much cause for hope that this msy be the beginning
of a more definite and active administration in affairs of student government.
Since student government was adopted on the casspus this lias
been tho first time that a student administrative body has tuken a
decisive stand. Formerly student organizations entrusted with governing power have preferred to let tasks, particularly disagreeable tasks,
devolve on administrative bodies composed of faculty members.
Tho Kernel is happy to note that in this instance the Men's Student
Council has determined to handle a matter In which that body must
deal directly with the students.
The Kernel trusts that the Council
will provo itself worthy of the stand that it has taken.
Indeed, the
Council must prove itself worthy of Us trust, else hope for a true
government will have to be abandoued.

Story of Extra

(By Beecher Adams)
Now on the morn of the second day,

voice of the prophet Glanz spake unto
the children of Moses in a loud voice,
"Hearken unto me, ye imps of the
devil, (for such was his epithets hurl,
ed on the office of tho Great Kernel)
ye have labored hard for many moons,
ye have fasted with worthy endurance. The hour of the turkey slaughter draweth nigh, and I say unto you
this day cease your labors, let the
student body go to the devil and the
Kernel will not appear." So saying,
he went in pursuit of tiie Greeks and
happiness while ye children of the
devil clapped their little hands glee
fully and rejoiced until the mom ox
the next day.
But when the sun had once more
peeped over the blackening horizon
the voice of the most hight spake over
the telephone, saying, "Let there be a
Kernel, yea, even unto the extent of
four pages." And there is a Kernel,
smeared with the slave blood of the
reporters, and dedicated to tho proposition that not all men are created

and his Wildcats were announcing their promotion to the front
ranks of the Conference and
Kentucky finally has been recognized after a decade of setbacks.

Tennessee's grand march, like Sherman's, had extended the length and

lay the trampled hopes of numberless

Kentucky had bowed to Vandy and to
Alabama.
Coach Neyland's famous
team had been heralded nationally and
Kentucky was slated to lose under an
avalancc of touchdowns flowing from
the achillic heels of a famous pair of
backs who had capered through the
best teams in the South. Thus, Kentucky was rendered powerless by critics as eleven fighting Wildcats trod on
Shields-Watkifield for their annual
Thanksgiving festival for a reputed
"beer keg," the emblem of victory between these traditional rivals.

WHY NOT HAVE A DAILY?
Along about Christmas time The Kernel will move
into its now quarters at McVey hall. With its installation into these minrters n number of improvements
will be ninde In The Kernel plant.
Among other things, we will then possess a new
four-pag- e
printing press and two linotype machines.
This machinery was not bought simply that The Kernel
paper with
might issue its present
greater ease. As financial supporters of "Letters," the
University literary magazine, The Kernel added those
improvements to its plant that it might print this magazine on the campus, thus saving a great deal of trouble
for the editorial staff nnd at the name time cut down
printing expenses of the publication.
Lately there has been prevalent among members of

should, the increasing demnnds being made upon it by
tho student body, to whose service The Kernel is especially dedicated.
It has further been pointed out, perhaps maliciously,
that much of the news contained in The Kernel is "dead"
by the time it reaches the students Friday morning,
nnd that with a daily paper this could be remedied.
We admit the justice of all of these arguments.
There are, however, other matters to be considered. In
the first place The Kernel would need a greater spirit
of cooperation than is at present evidenced by students
and faculty members. In other words, If it is your desire for The Kernel to be first with the news then you
must give the nows first to The Kernel and not to one
of the city papers. Further, we must have the hearty
support of Lexington merchants in order to make the
project a real success. The Kernel will need in par
ticular the wholehearted support of the department of
journalism if we nre to increase our organization as it
must bo increased for the task of giving to the University n paper every day.
The Kernel is confident thnt it could undertake this
step with success should it have the cooperation outlined. We do not, however, want to make the mistake
of being too hasty. We would like, above all, just at
this time, an expression of opinion from each and
every person connected with the University.
Members of The Kernel staff are ready on their
part to make this change, but we must first be convinced thnt it is your desire that we do so and that we
will receive from each individual connected with this
instituton the cooperaton necessary for The Kernel to
take its rightful place among college publications of
tho United States.

LITERARY SECTION
(MELVINA HEAVENRIDGE,

ABOUT GUARDS
An unfortunate occurrence happened at the football
came with V. M. I. last Saturday. One of the guards
employed by the University to keep out the crowd that
is always on hand trying to "slip in," became incensed
nt a young boy who was trying to see the game free,
and struck him on the head with a stick. The boy, according to eye witnesses, had done nothing to warrant
such an attack.

THE SONG
Just ere the cloak of night
Was drawn about the world
And after the sun had sunk to rest,
In solitude
I sat beneath a pine
And listened to a song that
,
Time after time,
I've heard
When this strange mood
I know not what it is
Comes o'er me.

The guard was taken to the police station where he
was arraigned for trial at a late hour. The boy was
removed to the Good Samaritan hospital where his
wound was treated.
The Kernel feels that such an act is detrimental to
Surely, the youth
tho best interests of the University.
was interested in the University football team and perhaps did not have the price of a ticket, but just the
same, wanted to see the Wildcats battle with V. M. I.

A mood in which the mind slumbers

But the soul awakens
And each note that nature, and
An invisible spirit sends into the world
Is heard,
Yet not is heard,
A strange, strange song
That I have heard before
A very puzzling son
