track team to their third straight
win of the season when the Wild'
cats defeated the University of Ten
nessee thinlies by a score of 70 to
47 Saturday afternoon on the Stoll
field track.
Their victory marked the first
time in four years that the 'Cats

on the cinder path and also kept
the record of Coach C. P. Stxlplin,
who is serving his first year as men

feats for the year.
The outcome of the meet was un
certain until the last two events
when the Wildcats Jumping stars
made clean sweeps of both the high
and broad Jumps. The wearers of
the Blue and White also took both
first and second place in the mile
and half mile runs and the discus
throws. The Vols shut out Ken

run. the pole vault, and the shot

Dave won the two mile and half

mile. He could have easily won the
mile also, but slowed on the last

allowed teammate Hellard to break

Editorial

Th? Kernel's belief that the Men's Student Council
was established to regulate and to control student life
on this campus. To keep elections free from biased
jKilitiei was to be among its chief functions. Rut Friday's
j)ostponcnient of May Queen election has disclosed that
the Council is not keeping politics out of campus elections,
but that politics is centered within the Council itself.
The Council met prior to the election, approved petitions, and established a method of election. This method assured the Fraternity Combine victory.
Fhe Independent Combine, because of its own negligence, was not
represented at this meeting.
Friday morning, with voting already under way, the
Independent Combine realized its mistake and protested.
Laban Jackson, president of the Council, postixmcd the
election.
While the postponement was evidently made with a
view toward a fair election, this action was a credit neither
to the students nor to the University. Because this action
was comprehended but by a few, The Kernel is disclosing
the entire matter to the students.
It is regrettable that a situation exists in which constant turmoil is caused over elections. The Kernel suggests that the Men's Student Council immediately establish a permanent mode of nominating and electing campus officers, a mode whereby it would be necessary to
conform with existing regulations, rather than periodically establishing regulations to conform with existing
ambitions.
