the Guignol Players offer "Camllle,"
their second presentation of the
current season. The play opens
Monday night, December 8 at Lex
ington's only "little theatre."
The olav. a tragedy, was original
ly written in novel form, but was
later dramatized by its auinor, Alexander Dumas flls, and has since been
presented as an opera. The operatic version may be recognised under the name of "Traviata," having
been set to music by Verdi.
The play was originally published
some 88 years ago and has been
used by the best of America's Thespians for over a quarter of a century. Eva Le Oalllenne now is adding it to the repetolre of the Civic
Repetory Theatre in New York.
"Camllle" was originally written
with the scenes laid in Paris and
Onteull Teause about 1890 but since
the premiere showing it has been
produced with many different decades forming the background. The
Guignol Players are Using the period
of 1870. This is the first time that
this date has been used. The most
ia
populr version has been that of
Beri with the time as 1985
while the time in which the opera
is usually staged is around 1850.
One of the most interesting features of the play is that it Is to be
done without scenery and will rely
entirely on the use of light for

Marcaret Lewis will Play the fern- inlne lead In "Camllle" and her
usual finished performance is expected. Miss Lewis is a graduate
of Maryville and is secretary of the
local branch of the Young Women's
Christian Association. She first distinguished herself with the Guignol
Players In the spring In 1928 when,
after playing minor roles in the
earlier productions of that year, she
starred in "The Plight of the Dutchess." During the past season Miss
Lewis made a tremendous hit in
"East Lynne" in which she was also
starred.
The male lead will be portrayed
by Nean Cain and although he is
new at the local playhouse he promises to give a scintillating performance.

Conform to New Absence Rule

New Rule Promotes Contagion
An Editorial
One of the many isolated instances showing the undesirable effects of
the new attendance ruling at the university was that of the boy with a
deep cold who attended all his classes when he should have been abed.
He went to his classes with swollen and streaming eyes, sneezing at least
once each minute and coughing proportionately. He was a lad who felt
that he could not afford to be absent from class, yet could not obtain
an excuse. What was the result? Three days later, the majority of
students in the same classes were evidencing contagion. They had con
tracted cold germs from the boy who should have been abed, and who
would have been there had there been an adequate university rule for
the situation. It Is not fair that students in good health should be sub
jected to contagion from those who are ill and who cannot afford to miss
class because an excuse is not available. Poor health does not promote
good scholarship.

Dti Yitir Think theNew Absence
Rule Is Fair ? Then Read This-- Editor's Note: For the edification of
students of the University of Kentucky, The Kernel prints below
the new absence ruling adopted
by the university October 13, with
pertinent editorial comment following those sections not deemed
Section 1: No student shall be
allowed ANY cuts In ANY course
at the University of Kentucky.
Sec. 2:' The instructor shall keep a
record of absences, and when IN
HIS OPINION the number of absences for any student ha3 become
excessive, or when absences appear
to be unjustified, he shall report
such student to the dean, together
with the total number of absences
and their dates. And the practice
of reporting dally absences to the
registrar shall be discontinued except that all absences occurring on
the day immediately before a holiday or the day immediately following a holiday shall be reported at
the time of their occurrence. Edl- e

Sec. 3: Absences shall be counted
beginning with the FIRST DAY
OF RECITATION, and late entrances shall be counted as absences. (Note: This ruling was
adopted by the university October
13.. School opened September 17.
Has the phrase, ex post facto, been
forgotten?)
Sec. 4: A student may be dropped
from a course because of absences

Ever since Dr. Adams made the
report to the senate recommending
penthe adoption of a three-cred- it
alty for cuts before and after holidays, three has spelled black magic
on this campus.
Dr. Adams was making a report
on behalf of the committee on investigations.
We would like to
know, just what that committee was
supposed to investigate. Surely not
the opinions of the majority of the
faculty, for they emphatically deny
having been a party to this crime.
As witness of their disapproval, a
report from the dean's office in the
largest college on the campus shows
all petitions passed for exemption
from the penalty at the time of the
Thanksgiving holiday.
In view of this disapproval on
the part of so many of the faculty,

meeting. Perhaps the senate will

to former conditions. Let us hope
so.

What do the women think of the
rule? We were somewhat taken back

One senior testified to the effectiveness of the rule, saying she had

THE PLATFORM
With this issue of The Kernel, the platform
f the student paper reappears after an absence
of several months from the editorial page. At
the time It was dropped from the columns of
this paper, it had become so well known and
so synonymous with the editorial policy of The
Kernel that the editors felt it no longer necessary to print it. At this time, however, it has
ae
necessary to add to the policies contained
In the platform, so it reappears in this issue.
Observing students and members of the faculty will note that a new plank has been added
to the platform. That new plank, hewed from
the virgin timber of students' rights as indicated by The Kernel slogan on the press maintaining the rights of those who are attending
the university, concerns the repeal of the new
attendance rule established a short time ago by
zealous officials at Kentucky.
Since that rule was announced, scores of students representing every one of the four classes
and those taking graduate work have visited
the editorial offices of The Kernel, asking that
the paper assist in pointing out to officials the
manifest injustice of the new ruling. Many letters for the student point of view column now
are on file awaiting publication. The tide of
sentiment against the new rule is rising swiftly
over student obeisance to those who admittedly
hold the hammer. In other columns of today's
paper, that sentiment is being expressed because
The Kernel is a student paper and so long as it
does not feel the iron hand of suppression, it is
going to continue to be a student paper.
It is both wise and convenient at this time to

point out that there is no conflict between the
various planks of the platform, as might
should be
at first blush. Laws and
observed, but the particular stress in The Kernel is directed against violation of the prohibition laws by members of the student body. It
may be said that better scholarship and repeal
of the attendance rule do not agree, but it is
well to remember that education cannot be
measured by any mathematical standard such
at Kentucky who will not give a passing grade
as the number of times a particular student attends a particular class. There are professors
If a student is credited with four absences over
months. Profesa period of four and one-ha- lf
sors of similar mental vigor oftentimes cause
one-thiof a final' grade to be determined by
the number of absences. Others will not accept
an excuse under any condition of servitude, preferring to prove to the world that higher education Is really an autocracy. It is with a feeling
of compassion for Alma Mater that they in fact
cannot be designated as few. Their reaction to
the new rule of attendance has been that of
Joy, because under it they And their medium
that of dyeing the last inch of tape a crimson
hue.
So it is that The Kernel voices the opinion of
students in this matter of repeal of the attendance rule. It is altogether fitting and proper
that it do so, for it is a paper that has won
national recognition as an exponent of the free
press under the protection of which students
gather in pursuit of academic life, liberty, and
happiness.
