The future of the University appears very bright in the hands of the
new president, Dr. Frank L. McVey.
Sixnfeet two, of athletic build, of commanding presence, of forceful leadership, Doctor McVey impresses one at
the very outset with the idea of bigness, of breadth of vision and ability
to handle In a big way, the problems
of real University achievement.
Doctor MoVey, in speaking of the
future of the University said: "I find
the University pleasantly situated. It,
of course, has its problems like every
other university, but they can be

all concerned. The State University

measure, the best indication of progress made by the people. This war
has demonstrated clearly the value of
education and particularly the part
that state universities can play in
meeting the problems of democracy,
both industrial and otherwise.
"I look forward with a great deal of
pleasure and interest to working with
my colleagues and the people of the
Commonwealth in the great task of
of Kendeveloping the University

Doctor MoVey's hobby Is canoeing
and he spends a part of every summer
In the wilds of Canada, completely
cut off from all civilization, following
the rivers of Canada in his canoe.
The new president, especially interested in the student publication of the
University, held a consultation with
the editor or the Kernel, Estill Woods,
conferring with him in regard to the
publication and the influence It wields
on student life.
Doctor McVey left yesterday afternoon for Washington to complete his
work of preparing for the Government
a monograph on war finances for the
Allies. He hopes to return about the
last of October to remain and will
bring his family later to reside in the

CHEERING

Prospects
are growing steadily
brighter for the same old peppery variety of football team this year that
we have always had in the preceding
years.
Heat is nothing in the young lives
of the volunteers for the team and
work in all its physical aspects occupies another insignificant position in
the said young lives. Perspiration
has been recognized as the price of
glory and the coveted honor of being
a varsity man has inspired every candidate for the team. The old familiar
"atta boy" rings across the best athletic field in the South in the old familiar way, and the exhortation is
never uttered in vain.
In other iwords, the football team at
the University of Kentucky is going
to be a team up to high standards and
accomplishments
predecessors
its
have set for it. A stolid, steady coach
named "Daddy,' 'an

"Jim" and a watch-charrecognized as "Jimmie" will prove the
fact that Caesar stated, namely, that
the proper triumvirate can be successful over all difficulties. Coach Boles

going to happen except that the presence of Jim Park will help mightily.

until after the flrst games, it seems
now that the toe of Gay will meet the

applicant for quarterback, is also
aspiring to this 'position.
One of the most cheering items
gathered on the field Is that the varsity line promises to weigh between
170 and 180 pounds. The back field
will come up close to 155 or 1G0 and
that combination should fear nothing.

"What si the biggest thing in the

his deserts. He showed many examples of friendships in literature, but
pointed out that history has given us

allows us to see ourselves as others
see us. It gives us our measure in
terms of another's mind.
The different types of friends, as
Dr. MoVey defined them, are the fair
weather friend, the tried and true
friend, intimates and the
associate. 'Dr. MoVey drew a dis
tinction (between friends
and inti
mates, saying that the intimate was
relationship based on deviltry and
required no high ideals as did friend
ship. He subdivided the classes of
intimates into the parasitic intimate,
who uses your books, bororws your
money and steals your time, the lonesome intimate who can contribute
nothing, and the chattering Intimate.
Dr. :McVey said with Browning that
youth is the time of a great plan and
all such associates who can contribute nothing to the plan weakens the
character.
'In college," he said, "is
the time to form friendships that will
last through life. My wish is that
every one at the University of Kentucky shall have such friends."

By news received from widely sepa

college associations
are striving to
live up to their obligations under
these new conditions. The associa

"Stick For the Finish."
The Kernel learns with regret that several men
who have numbers in the draft list, but who have not
yet been called, are contemplating leaving the University.

We feel that this would be a grave mistake and
hope that those who are thinking of going home will
carefully reconsider the situation and see the matter in
its true light before their mistake is irreparable.
All who are not included in the first quota will very
likely have the opportunity of completing the present
collegiate year before they are called to service, as the
Government is busy training and equipping the "first
half million," which is no small undertaking for a nation that has thought peace and lived peace for more

than half a century.
President Wilson has requested that college men
pursue their studies whenever possible and has placed
the utmost emphasis on the need for college men in all
branches of national service. One more year's work
will be valuable after the return from the army, invaluable when young men are called to the front as leaders in the great struggle.
Now more than at any time since the history of
the world began is there a call for trained men. At
present, when efficiency means everything, there is no
place for a quitter and they only will command entire
respect of their fellow countrymen who fight to the finish. We know that it is hard to settle down to work
while the future seems uncertain, but to cease preparations now and wander aimlessly through an entire
scholastic year, with nothing definite in mind but to
wait, will lay them unquestionably open to criticism as
slackers. As true Kentuckians we know that not one
drop of slacker's blood contaminates our veins; let us
prove this fact to the world.
The man behind the firing line is no less a hero than
the man at the front. But this is true, only if he does
his part. Our President has indicated to us our duty;
let us follow his lead.

Opportunity For Real
The shearing of freshman locks has begun. The
Kernel wishes to remind the students that this is forbidden by the authorities of the University.
As a student, and frankly speaking, the editor of

the Kernel has been inclined to look upon
predilection for
as an innocent expression of boyish
mischief and fun. Unfortunately, however, in years
victims of the clippers have
gone by,
shown fight, and serious consequences have flowed from
it. In several instances, we are told, grave physical
harm has been done.
In fact we do not believe the faculty looks unon

g
as an enormous crime, but as
is a form of hazing from which serious consequences
have resulted in the past, it adopted the rule providing
punishment for the offense.
The Kernel is in favor of the enforcement of law,
federal, statuary and municipal ; the Kernel is in favor
of obedience to laws of this Univ
