Funkhouser, head of the department of zoology at the university and Prof. W. S. Webb, head of the physics department, have discovered three types of ancient peoples who were unknown in the state of Kentucky until the recent explorations and excavations which were made during the summer months under the direction of Dr. W. D. Funkhouser. The graves of the first type of the three ancient peoples, known as the "stone grave people," were found in Christian county. According to Dr. Funkhouser, these early Americans were very poor as their graves and skeletons were absolutely devoid of ornaments. There were no trophies of war or trinkets to be found in the graves as is usually the case. Each grave unearthed presented a skeleton encased in a narrow tomb of fldt stones. The second type of people which were found to have lived near Fuller-toKy., are known as the. "shallow mound builders." A number of the bodies unearthed were found to be in a cramped or kneeling position. This seems to indicate a religious regarding the position in which the body should be placed for its long rest. In the graves of these people and on their skeletons were found many ornaments, such as bear tooth necklaces and bracelets. A head dress of bear jaws was found on ON PAGE EIGHT) University President Makes Western Trip JUDGE grid-grap- grid-grap- h.

The award will be known as "The Kentucky Kernel Cup" and will be presented at the commencement exercises each spring to the winner. In deciding on the basis of eligibility for the award, The Kernel felt there was a need of enouragement for scholastic endeavor at the university. Several prizes are offered to students for interest in activities and for athletic ability, but there is only one cup for schalarship offered by any organization at present. Mortar Board, honorary senior women's fraternity, awards a cup each year to the first semester freshman girl attending the highes standing in her classes. Alpha Gamma Dlta, social sorority presents a cup to the most outstanding freshman girl, and Lamp and Cross, men's senior honorary organization makes a similar award to the most outstanding freshman boy. These awards are all restricted to the lower classmen, and are given to encourage the student to continue his high standard of work. With the exception of Phi Beta Kappa, Tau Beta Pi, and other honorary fraternities based on scholarship, the senior student who attains a high scholastic standing receives comparatively few awards. The Kernel Cup will carry with it the recognition of consistent effort during the student's four years at the university and it is hoped will prove an incentive for students to strive for higher standings. The Kernel feels that it is quite an honor to have the highest standing in a class of two or three hundred graduates, and that such an achievement should be recog- Next to seeing the game itself h presents the most the graphic reproduction of what is going on.

A request has gone out from the Kentuckian office to the sororities and dormitories that pictures of all entries in the annual beauty contest be in the hands of the editor of the year book by Monday evening, October 11. No entries will be accepted after that date. The short time limit is necessary in order that the beauties may be judged and their pictures taken for the year book before the photographer leaves the campus. An attempt is being made to secure the services of John Held, Jr., author of the monthly double page comic strip in College Humor, tp judge this year's Kentucky's beauties. Mr. Held, who has won some distinction in his field, judged the beauties for the University of Texas two years ago when their annual won the national prize. To Secure Picture of Ashland A plan is also on foot to secure the use of some of the interiors of Ashland, Henry Clay's home on the outskirts of Lexington1, as a background for the pictures in the beauty section of the book.

In the evening the faculty of the university, with which Profess6r Norwood has been connected for 25 years, entertained with a reception at Patterson hall in honor of the jubilarians. Gifts of rare beauty and purses of gold carried with them the hearty good wishes of the friends of a life time. Such spoken greetings as come only from the lips of those whose hearts dictate the sentiments accompanied gorgeous flowers and conveyed in no uncertain terms the love and affection In which the honored guests are held. 'Twas as a benediction of blessings accumulated with" the lapse of time that the festive oc casion came to a close. On October 5, in the year of 1876,' six miles from Manchester in Clay county, Sarah E. White took Charles J. Norwood "for better or for worse" in the holy bonds of wedlock and. began with him the journey on the road of married life. Fifty years later, October 5, in the year 1926, they looked back and recalled the many incidents that have made those years replete with memories, hallowed and cherished while life lasts. Have Been of Service Few citizens of Lexington have meant to the community what Mr. and Mrs. Norwood have meant. Theirs have been lives of unselfish service; theirs have been ideals that knew no limitation short of perfection and ef forts which started prayerfully, end ing always in accomplishment. On the occasion of their jubilee, salutations and greetings bore evidences of the success which has attended the unselfish interest they have shown in the welfare of their fellowman.
