Another Old Tradition Shattered;

PLANS PROGRAM

Purdue's Bucket; Michigan's
Jug Eclipsed By

Five Formations Will Include
"Hello," "Rose Bowl Vols,"

By VINCENT CROWDUS
Michigan and Minnesota have
their little brown jug.
Indiana and Purdue have their
old oaken bucket.
Kentucky and Tennessee have
their beer keg presumably, but it
is not a beer keg at all. it is a vinegar barrel.
This is not an attempt to shatter
another tradition, but only an assertion as to what this bulging, cylindrical-shaped
container, emblematic of one of the nation's keenest
gridiron rivalries, originally was.
Back in 1925. a group of rabid
Kentucky alumni, better known as
the "Raspberry Patch," conceived
a plan to stimulate the
rivalry to greater heights by
using something material to denote
supremacy between the two. After

show of the year.
Members of the band and director
John Lewis will leave by train Wednesday night.
First on their program of formations is "Hello." "Dixie." and "Rose
Bowl Vols," in courtesy to the Volunteer fans.
For the Kentucky
stands the music aggregation will
form a huge log cabin with "My Old
Kentucky Home" as accompanying
music. Then the formation will
change to "UK" and finally to the
bubble pipe executed at the Clem-so- n
game.
As the bubble bursts, the musicians form "UK, On, On," and
march from the field playing the
school song.

due deliberation, these worthy individuals decided to pay homage to
Kentucky's weakness
a beer keg
would be the very thing.
But where to get the keg? Kentucky at that time was in the throes
of the prohibition era, and no keg
was available.
Therefore,
the
"Patch" imported a vinegar barrel
from Cincinnati. Naturally it was
necessary to rechristen his ligneous
majesty. Yet would it be wise to
lKldly proclaim the new protege,
"Beer Keg?" Not at all. The
league and similar organizations would be horrified. They
would interpret such a proclamation as approval of the return of
light wine and beer.
So the tactful Alumni ashered
the keg onto Stoll Field, that

"Bargains in Brains" was begun

The Question:
Do you believe in capital punishment? Why?
The Answers:
Herman Dotson, Senior. Law:
"Favorable arguments for capital
punishment are that it is a deterrent and that it eliminates an
undesirable member from society.
Criminologists
have demonstrated
that there is no deterrent because
of Uie clemency powers of state
governors, political influence, reluctance of juries to impose the extreme penalty, and the belief that a
good mouth-piec- e
can beat any rap.
Modern rehabilitation of the criminal lias focused attention on correction rather than punishment
which emaciates the second contention."

would have distressed a group with
less fortitude, the entire affair was
carried off nobly.
With excellent work turned in by
everyone of the 65 performers, the
widely inclusive program was presented with gratifying skill. Outside a few minor annoyances, such
as an audible hoarseness in the
flutes and a rattling overtone in the
violas, the work was technically ac

confident power of the renditions,
and the grasp of tempo and spirit
by the young musicians in every
section of the orchestra, displayed
a solid knowledge of music which
contributes credit to all concerned.
Four great musical nationalities
were represented. The opening selection, Wagner's splendid overture to "Rienzi." was the best of
the afternoon. Figured by faultless
solo work in the brass and a complete mastery of the complicated

Tribute
To President McVey

A

When the bronze plaque of President McYey
i unveiled today in the University library, members of O micron Delta Kappa, as veil as other
students, farultv members anl alumni, may
feel proud. ODK deserves especial commendation because it was mainly through the
continued and unfailing efforts of this organi-73- t
ion that funds were obtained for the work.
This fitting tribute honored a man who so
ablv has fulfilled the exigencies of his office, will
remain as a monument to his services and an
inspiration to future students of the University
who will be mindful of the generous spirit in
which it was given. R. E. G.

a gossip harvest from this campus.
Before we do that, however, we

It was a good concert Sunday but the orchestra needed to clear its throat.

educational phase of the program will begin.
At that time, there will be motion pictures, talks,
and exhibits explaining how to diagnose and
cure the disease. It is then that your part will
be plavcd. By attending these features, you will
lie able to assimilate the knowledge necessary to
teach, instruct, and render invaluable aid in
checking this number one enemy of public

Corny Joke Department
(Contributed by Gordon Clay Godbey)
A Kentucky colonel of our acquaintance once
boasted to a friend that he had on his plantation
an Indian who never forgot anything. The devil
was listening nearby, and he bet the colonel that
he was wrong. The colonel bet his soul that
the Indian wouldn't forget.
So the devil went up to the Indian and said,
"Do you like eggs?"
"Yes," replied the Indian.
The devil went away.
Twenty years elapsed and the devil returned.
Confronting the old Indian he raised his hand
in the customary Indian greeting and said,
"How."
"Fried." replied the Indian.
Comes a postcard from one Jay Nelson of
Monrovia, Calif., with a contribution for our
corny joke department. We showed the joke to
the editor who blushed and s.lid, "You can't

print that."
But an interesting phase of Mr. Nelson's card
in the sentence, "Send me the KD house."
My dear Mr. Nelson, you don't realize what
you are asking. You don't want the KD house.
You fellows have enough out there to worry
you, what with Tom Mooney, Sam Goldwyn.

And anyway, we didn't offer the KD house,
we just offered a PICTURE of the house, and
Gild knows, that's all any human would want.

Helping The Hand
That Helped Us

Always in the front lines providing care
and treatment to the stricken at times when a

W hen you arc approached for a contribution

don't forget the spirit and
oiganiation a year or so ago when large areas
of our state were unindated by the flood. Think
of our helplessness then if there had not been

A Lack Of That
Thanksgiving Spirit
For the past three weeks, through the medium
of this paper. Dean T. T. Jones has appealed
to men at the University to bring old clothing
to his office for immediate distribution among
needy students.
The response was ungratifying. For from
among the many more fortunate boys on the
campus only one group seemed interested enough to answer the call. The Sigma Alpha
fraternity is to be commended for donating its surplus clothing to such a worthy cause.
It seems incredible that this Thanksgiving
while some students are snuggling in the warm
confines of a new coat, eating turkey dinners,
rmd having an enjoyable vacation that other
Mudents will remain here working, eating scan
