Kernel Advises Against Taking Chances Today
Has your path been crossed by
a blnck cat this morning? Have
you thoughtlessly wandered under
a leaning Inddcr lately? If so,
beware for this is the unlucklest
of unlucky days an that's saying
a lot. Plan for everything, depend on nothing, that's our advice for today. Take it or leave
it but don't blame us if evil befalls
you this, Friday the Thirteenth.
In case a "spell" should fall
upon you there are a number of
iracticnl
ways of breaking it.
'robably the surest is expectorating snappily over the left shoulder
followed by a perfectly executed
abracadabra. .
As a final warning the Kernel
advises against writing home for
checks more than $1,000, attending
the races, starting to beat your way
to Charleston, cribbing in an English quiz, or sassin' a traffic cop
from the scat of your "kampus
kar." Good luck!

McDowell Ladies' Man
Beauty Candidates Swarm
Kcntuckian Office
Ted McDowell is one of the most
popular men on the campus these
days. Great swarms of campus
beauties hover constantly around
his "Kcntuckinn" office like bees
nround the proverbial hive. Like
men who look out to sea for ships
that never come they wait to hear
Flo Ziegfeld's selection of the five
most beautiful girls on the campus.
As all who are acquainted with
Ted's bashful and
habits fully realize, Ted is unable
to speak for himself so he asks
the Kernel to speak in his defense.
He says that according to the
latest discourse he had with "Flo,"
he will be able to announce the
winners in about two weeks and
asks that as the "Kcntuckian"
is somewhat crowded (after
ho gets inside) that the beauty
aspirants make appointments to
interview him, rather than all coming nt once and making his office
rival a sardine box in compactness.

Keep Your Mind On Your Lesson
Now vou're all set! Put your mind
on the lesson and concentrate! First
however, you must decide which it
behooves you to study first, the easiest or the hardest (we all know which
we do!) Work intensely, don't begin

thinking about what John said last
night and whether he really meant
the line he handed out. If you are

is they think about. I don't know.

Perhaps it's a piece of poetry you
must memorize by the morrow. Now
don t get all worked up and frustrat- ed, but take it calmly. Just read the
"pome" aloud several times and soon
it will dawn on you what it's all
about. Be sure and commit to
ory all technical terms and formulas,
provided of course that you
stand the substance of said terms.

from Col. William A. Duncnn '97,
Ilusscllvillc, Ky. Colonel Duncnn received his M. D. degree from Vnncr-lii- lt
university in 193. He is loyal
and nctive member of the Alumni

association.
"The arrival of the Kernel, this
morning, brought to my mind thd
fact that, as usual, I was in doubt
as to just how I stood up at the old
university in the matter of alumni
dues, Kernel subscription, etc. Looks
like it should be an easy matter to
keep up with such small items, but
with me "it ain't." I find myself always in doubt as to whether I am
paid up or not. So just to be on the
safe side I am forwarding this date,
to the Alumni association, a little
check which I hope will put me right
or ahead. If I owe anything you
will just have to speak out and
tell me.
"Business being disposed of, now
for pleasure.
"There are a number of old State
College athletes down in this neck
of the woods. Now and then we get
together to talk over old times and
to discuss what is happening in the
athletic line back at the old univer
sity. Any success your teams may
have we enjoy to the fullest, while
any failures hurt us as much if not
more than they do those noble fel- lows who took part in the events but
lost,
"At several of these gatherings of
Been Kentucky State War
Has
Horses,' mention has been made of a
remark often heard as well as seen
in print, to the effect 'So and so has
won his "K" '. In a way we know
what this means and realize the pride
which must fill that youngster's
heart when the award is made him
We understand it is the custom at
And wo
most colleges
presume, the same applies also at the
university, to reward those who have
won their 'Ks'. Usually this is done
by permitting them to retain their
treasured sweater or other unilorm as
a memento of this great honor, as a
souvenir which they can take along
to show with pride to their children
as they tell what a wonder old Dad
was in his day.
"Now, if such a custom exists at
Old State, it started long after the
day of such fellows as Bill Hobdy,
Granny Beard, Ed Hobdy, Billy Reese,
Bill Duncan and many other old
fighters who 'fit, bled and would have
died' for Old K. S. C. away back
yonder in the nineteenth century. In
those days athletics at the college
'hoed a darn hard row.' Money was
a thing as the
, so scarce that such
donation of sweater or anything else,
to a team captain or player was never
even thought about. In many cases
a fellow was lucky to have even a
y
complete and serviceable
uniform in which to play. However,
they were playing for 'Old State' because they loved her and wanted her
to lead in athletics as well as she
did in everything else. Reward never
entered the players mind then or now
"However, as years go by as we
read how the university athletes are
now honored; as our children read
these items in the papers and join
Dad in his enthusiasm or sorrow over
the outcome of those eventful days,
how happy we would be if we had
some piece of our old fighting togs
or other evidence of our service to
show our children and demonstrate
the fact that we gave our whole
hearted service to our Alma Mater
and that she appreciated that service.
What a joy to some of us old 'Has
Beens to have some evidence 01 our
athletic abilities in days gone by, and
what a relief or source of comfort
it would be to have such evidence in
our possession when our kiddies look
up in our laces and say 'uauay, wnero
is your "K"? Why man, if I had a
scran of my old uniform, if I had a
single solitary visable evidence tha;
I gave to my college and the collego
appreciated it, why I would dig to tha
bottom of the last trunk in the most
distant corner of the attic to pull
forth that evidence to show with uni
maginable pride to that youngster
who knows his Dad is the biggest
man on earth yet can't keep from
wondering when Dad isn't able to
'come across' in a serious matter of
this kind.
"Some of the old War Horses havo
wondered if anyone back at the uni
versity has ever thought about award
ing 'K's' to the fighters ot days
gone by. Possibly not. In fact it may
be absolutely out of the question to
even think about such a thing, tnen

brought to the attention of those now
in authority, the makers of our wonderful university of today, it might re
sult in some action looking toward
the recognition and honoring of those
heroes of the athletic field, who, in
days long past, played the game for
the honor and glory 01 uid state college now Kentucky University. So
I have taken the liberty of writing
you as you live in the very center of
things and know what is going on.
The idea might be one which you
would like to comment upon in your
paper. Personally I think it would
be a great meeting, say at the Thanksgiving game the 'K' could bo awarded
to all old timer football and baseball
captains or members of the team who
would be on hand to receive them.
Maybe you would like to string the
awards out over a number of years.
If so, all right just pick out those
desired and ask them to come. I expect few would miss the opportunity
to return to the old campus und the
