Louis Lusky, announced they
would spnosor a dramatic produc'

would go to the fund. Boyd Mar'
tin, director of the Players, has
volunteered to direct the play.

as the goal for the drive, but the
committee hopes to obtain enough
money to set up a trust fund
which would assure the permanent
maintenance of the scholarship.
University organizations, faculty
members and students have been
very generous in their contribu'

is expected to be over within a
few days and more time will then
be given to organizations outside

from this source.

Team Work Is Dis-played
in Battle
FRESHMEN LOSE 35 TO 29
Playing a superb brand of bas'
ketball before a crowd that pack'
ed the gymnasium, the University
of Louisville Cardinals avenged a
previous defeat by winning over
the Hanover College quintette by
a score of 29 to 25 Monday night.
As in the past two home games
the score was uncomfortably close
throughout most of the second
half. With but two minutes left
the Hoosiers led by 25 to 24.
Harry Long connected on a long
one and then Bertleson, fouled by
Raney of Hanover, made the free
toss. It was Raney’s fourth per'
sonal and he was taken out of the
game after playing the best all'
around game of the night.

WELCOME TO U. OF L.
Well, freshmen, it’s your
school now!
You’re going to spend con'
s’derable time here for several
years. The sooner you make
yourselves at home, the sooner
you’ll learn how much the Uni'
versity holds in store for you.
Take, for example, the edu'
cational provisions of our insti'
tution. Recently modernized
and revised, the University of
Louisville is coming into na'
tional prominence with its edu'
cational program and progres'
sive methods.
And if you want activities,
you won’t find the campus
wanting. From newspaper work
and dramatics to archery, as'
tronomy and athletics, you’ll
find the whole range of extra'
curricular interests and several
to suit your own taste.
The school belongs to you
now in the same degree that it
belongs to us—the upperclass'
men, that is. You won’t get
anything out of your university
period if you put nothing into
it. But we assure you, that you
will receive more benefit from
your time spent here if you take
advantage of all that the uni'
versity offers you.

CONCERT PLEASES
LARGE AUDIENCE
Ernest Hutcheson is Soloist With
U. of L. Syphony
Orchestra
GIVES CHOPIN ENCORE
The fifth concert in the univer'
sity series featuring the Univer'
sity Symphony Orchestra, with
Ernest Hutcheson, pianist, as the
guest soloist was presented before
a large and appreciative audience,
Wednesday evening, January 24,
at the Memorial Auditorium.
Only two numbers appeared on
the program, Brahms Symphony
Number 1 in C Minor, considered
the greatest of Brahms’ Sym-phonies,
and the Tschaikowsky
Concerto for Piano and Orches-tra
Number 1 in B'flat minor, in
which the distinguished pianist,
Mr. Hutcheson was heard.
•The vigor and turmoil 6f the
first movement, displayed very
well by the strings and kettle'
drum, was followed by a move'
ment of quiet contemplation and
lovely peace as portrayed excelL
ently by the wood-winds. The last
movement, which comes to an
overwhelming climax of exaltation
and is intended to show the fervor
of Brahms’ religion, was well pre-sented.
Radical Changes to be
Made in Staff Set-Up
Board Of Publications Devises
New Plan To Meet Grow-ing
Complexity
WILL BE EFFECTIVE NOW
Devised to meet the problem of
an increasingly complex Cardinal
organization, anew staff set-up
proposed recently by the Board
of Student Publications after con'
sultation with the editor and man-aging
editor of the Cardinal, will
be affected immediately if approv'
ed by the University Council.
This revision of the staff is the
culmination of work that was
started at the initiation of the Car'
dinal a year and a half ago. It is
the purpose of the Board of Pub'
lications to effect the division of
the staff, as pertains to class rank'
ing, as for as possible. This factor
has been considered in the past,
but not until the increased per'
sonnel of the Cardinal staff this
year made the project practical,
could a greater selection among
the particular classes be exercised
in distributing the positions.
Two Main Divisions
The new staff organization di'
vides the staff sharply into two
sections, the editorial and the busi'
ness staffs, each subdivided into
a large number of positions.
The editorial staff will be led
by three senior positions—those of
editordn'chief, chief news editor
and women’s editor. The next po'
sitions, the departmental editor'
ships, will be occupied only by
juniors. Reports will be sopho'
mores, and freshmen will hold the
beginning positions as cubs.
Similarly, on the business staff,
three senior positions are listed in
the new organization. These are
the business manager, who will
under the new setup, whose au-thority
over the business staff par'"
allels the editor in over the edi'
torial division, and two assistant
business managers. These are fob
lowed by the junior departmental
positions, the sophomore assistants
and the freshmen clerks.
The duties of departmental edi'
tors, now one of the most import'
ant divisions of the staff, will be
to organize and administer a staff
of sophomores and freshmen for
the gathering and writing of news,
to read all copy handed in by
their departments, to write heads
for it, to arrange for proofreading
of all copy originating in their de-partments,
to keep a weekly as'
signment sheet, and to train sdpho'
mores and freshmen in all the
above functions. Much of this
work has in the past been done
by the editor and managing edi'
tor. The new organization will
thus delegate the work to a larger
number of people.
The business staff is the largest
new development in the Cardinal
organization. Consisting hereto-fore
of but a business manager and
a circulation department, this staff
will now include twenty-five or
