THE CARDINAL
VOL. 2 LOUISVILLE, KY., FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1934 NO. 35
FACTS EXPOSED ON CARNIVAL
DECISION GIVEN BY COUNCIL
Statements From President, Carnival Committee, Present Both Sides
Of Case; Details of Council’s Meeting Brought Out.
(By MILDRED SHAPINSKY)
With conflicting rumors circulating all over the campus concern-ing
causes of the action of the University Council regarding the
Campus Carnival and proposed parade, and with the Carnival itself
going on fairly successfully in spite of everything, the Cardinal en-deavored
to get down to the bottom of things and find out the truth
about the whole matter.
The University Council, consisting of the deans of all the col-leges
of the University, the administrative officers and two members
elected annually by the Senate, met at 4:00 o’clock last Monday after-noon
to consider the Carnival plans. The decision reached was to
eliminate the Carnival parade and all of the concessions which con-sisted
of games of skill and chance.
Dr. Kent explained in an inter-view
the next day that the reason
the Council frowned on the gen-eral
plans of the Carnival was
that whereas it was requested
about six weeks ago, that the de-tailed
plans be submitted in ad-vance,
those plans were not sub-mitted
until 4:00 oclock, May 21,
the day of the Carnival. These
included plans for concessions, the
parade, and the dance.
Dr. Kent, speaking as chairman
of the Council, said that the body
thought that a small parade with
just a few floats, even if combined
with a larger number of student-filled
cars, would belittle rather
than credit the University. It was
stipulated in the meeting that
twelve floats would be necessary
to carry on plans.
John Zurfluh, chairman of the
student parade committee, was
called into the meeting shortly aft-er
this stipulation was made, and
was asked whether the U. of L.
band was to participate in the pa-rade
and how many floats had al-redy
been entered.
Mr. Zurfluh reported that seven
or eight floats had pledged en-trance,
and that a hurriedly gath-ered
band of U. of L. students had
promised to provide music for the
occasion. He explained that the
college possessed no regular band,
but that the group now function-ing
as such is made up almost en-tirely
of high school students who
could not be excused from school
for the parade.
The Council considered the fac'
tors in the case and decide to fore'
go the parade. Mr. Zurfluh was
asked to notify all persons con-cerned
of the Council’s decision.
In speaking of the parade later,
Mr. Zurfluh said that he had
worked hard to get floats, but that
he hadn’t received the necessary
cooperation of the other schools
or sufficient cooperation from the
students and organizations of the
Liberal Arts College to make up
the twelve floats.
Dr. Kent said Jater that the
critical point concerning the con'
cessions was that details were sub'
mitted at 4:00 o’clock, so late that
when the Council failed to ap'
prove certain games of skill, there

President of Severance
Union School
Dr. Keung Sun Oh, a graduate
of the University of Louisville
medical school, has been recently
appointed President of the Sever-ance
Union Medical College at
Seoul, Korea.
After preliminary education in

the School of Medicine imme-diately
after graduating there.
When he graduated from here in
1907, he served as physician at
mission hospitals at Kunsan,
Korea and Mokpo for seven years.
When the Severance Union Med-ical
College was founded in 1913,
he went there and in 1916 was
made head of the Department of
Dermatology and Genito-Urinary
diseases. In 1920, he was made

until 1930, when he was elect-ed
Vice-President. He was ap-pointed
President this year.
Severance Union Medical
School has advanced steadily in
the twenty years of its existence,
until now its graduates are licens-ed
to practice anywhere in the
Japanese empire and in the empire
of Manchukuo without further
examination.
Dr. Oh’s predecessor as Presi-dent
was Dr. O. R. Avison, who,
before he became the first Presi-dent
of Severance was a professor
in Toronto University, Canada.
“The University of Louisville is
very proud of the record of this
distinguished alumnus,” said Dr.
Kent.
