APPOINTED

Plans of great advantage to all
fraternities will be discussed at the
first meeting of the newly appointed faculty fraternity council which
will meet at 4 o'clock, Tuesday,
in room 109, McVey hall.
Each of the 19 members of the
council was appointed by the fraternity which he represents as a
member of the council and as faculty advisor.
The council, organized by C. R.
Melcher, dean of men, will hold
meetings throughout the year in
order to bring the fraternities closer
together discuss relative problems,
and provide for the general welfare
of the organizations.
Members of the council and the

ings for absence notices are being
used by many students Instead of
the government mall boxes. These
boxes are for the use of professors
in listing the absences of students
before and after holidays and should
be used for no other purpose.
Outgoing mall should be posted
either at the university postoffice
in the basement of McVey hall or
in the regulation government mail
boxes which are located on the
campus.
Miss Bean's discovery of improper
use of the boxes followed an inquiry by a student who had posted
two letters in the absence boxes
which had not been delivered. An
examination of the box In which
the letters had been deposited disclosed 12 other misplaced communications.

HELPED

A plan has been worked out at
Brown University whereby the student may consider the temperament
of the professor as well as the desirability of his course in making
out his program. On the opening
day of college a "Who's Who" is
given to each new student, giving
a short account of the degrees, professional experience, and principal
avocations of each member of the
faculty.

Kentucky. Here should be those
voung ladies and gentlemen who,
have been reared in the way of the
the courteous. It is at
this university that we should find
the qualities which we have come
to venerate and revere, the principles w hich we believe most honorable, and the ideals which we com-sidmost laudable. We should
find a group composed of young
people who lack nothing in breeding or training.
Instead of the student we should
have we find that the dominant
campus type is he who rarely considers anyone but himself, who is
direct and blunt in his speech and
his actions, who comes in contact
with true courtesy so seldom that
he is prone to think anyone who
does possess this rarely seen characteristic a triflle "different." The
lazy softness and the irresponsibility of the past are gone replaced
by the desire to "get ahead." command attention, and false respect.
Not only in this larger conception!
of courtesy has the undergraduate
at the university failed but this
failure has brought about a
of the simplest forms
and conventions which formerly
were so Implicitly followed. Appreciation Is seldom exercised, requests take the form of demands,
between
dislike and antagonism
members of the student body are
not concealed but are permitted to
be seen in all then- - ugliness. This
last will be excused by many persons on the grounds that any other
pose than utter frankness would be
hypocritical. Our forefathers were
courteous always, frank when frankness did not conflict with courtesy.
It Is foolish to believe that on
editorial or a dozen editorials could
remedy the present situation. To
observe that It exists, to tell the
student body that It exists, is all
that The Kernel can do. Werj we
writing for those persons who first
settled in the Bluegrass, that would
be quite enough.

PAN-HELLEN-

committee of members of the
council of the university was appointed recently which
will attempt to enroll all campus
social fraternities as members and
which will make plans for drafting a new consititution and widening the scope and the usefullness
of the organization. The new movement has been sanctioned by university authorities.
For several years it has been
generally accepted that the
council has not been an
effective organization, that it has
failed to fulfill the requirements of
a body of its nature, and, in short,
that something should be done
about it. Until the present comment has been the only step in this
direction.
If the members of the present
council are in earnest in their endeavor to reorganize the group and
make it a useful, effective factor in
the university life, then they have
the congratulations of The Kernel.
Many changes would benefit

and, through it, the

dividual fraternities on the campus.
With a complete reorganization
and with every fraternity as a
member the council could become
an active agent for student betterment. It should be possible for it
to accomplish that which for many-yearit has failed to do: draw up
and enforce definite and effecive
rushing regulations. To The Kernel this is of primary' Importance.

When the rushing question is
settled it would be wise for the
group to turn its attention to
bringing about a closer and more
relationship between

actuality as well as in theory. Many
plans have been tried in the past,
and most of them have failed. It
Ls our opinion, however, that such
a relationship could be establish-- 1

WHY FRATERNITIES?

That fraternities matter much
