VOL. 3 LOUISVILLE, KY., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1935 NO. 20
Three Nominees
Now In Running
For Frosh Queen
Misses Bateman, Hansberry,
Duffy Candidates for
Queen Election at
Dance
Margaret Bateman, Chi Omega,
Helen Hansberry, Kappa Delta,
and Catherine Duffy, Pi Phi, are
the first three candidates in the
race for Freshman Sweetheart,
which is to be decided at the
Freshman dance, to be held Sat-urday
night, February 9, in the
gym.
Charlie Reinhart and his band,
long a favorite of the university,
has been obtained to supply the
dance rhythms and the committee
in charge has announced that it is
sparing no effort to make this
dance one of the finest of the sea-son.
There is still time to enter the
Sweetheart contest, open only to
Freshmen women. Petitions, which
must be signed by ten students,
may be left at the Cardinal office.
Each admission to the dance en-titles
the holder to a vote for the
Sweetheart.
Scientists at several of the state
agricultural colleges have found
that the sage brush plant contains
several valuable oils, including
camphor, eucalyptol, and pinene.

PROPOSALS TO
MODIFY objection-able
phases of the 1924
Japanese Exclusion
Act are made by many
far sighted Califor-nians.
Nothing has stirred
up more dissension be-tween
“aliens who are ineligible
to citizenship” from entering the
United States. Inserted in the law
by a California Senator, the clause
was directly aimed at the Japan-ese
and Chinese. All European
immigrants were on the other
hand, placed on a quota basis;
that is, two percent of the number
coming from a particular country
in 1890.
The Japanese Government has
protested at this racial discrimi-nation;
it does not disapprove of
attempts on the part of the United
States to restrict reasonable immi-gration
from the island empire.
The new proposal would put all
countries on the quota basis. This
would allow 185 Japanese enter—
a small figure. The social struc-ture
in the Pacific states would not
be disturbed by this change, and
Group To Enforce
Cap Edict Formed
Gil Adams Heads Vigilance
Committee to Supervise
Frosh
In order to enforce the Student
Council edict requiring all first-half
freshmen to wear the char-acteristic
black and red caps, a
Vigilance Committee has been or-ganized
with Gil Adams as chair-man,
and Abe Newman, Ray Roll-ings,
Robert Leopold, Jack Sher-man
and Bill Lensing.
The committee is also to over-see
the general conduct of all
freshmen and will administer ap-propriate
punishment for any mis-demeanor.
The committee mem-bers
have been instructed to act,
according to Adams, “with good
judgement and for the good of the
University.”
Paddles will be furnished each
member of the committee by the
Student Council, for punishing
those who seem to need it, Adams
said. Any student who attempts
to ignore the committee will be re-ferred
to the Student Council and
have his social privileges taken
from him for the semester, the
chairman continued. This means
that he will be permitted to attend
no campus activities, including
fraternity and sorority functions,
during that time.
Freshmen who have not as yet
secured caps may get them at the
Cardinal office, in the basement
of Gardiner Hall, for 50 cents.
Payment may be withheld until
February 13. Although it is not
required, second half freshmen are
DATE CHANGED
The date of the Sigma Alpha
lota fraternity subscription
bridge has been changed from
Friday February 8 to February
22 at 8:00 p. m., at the Ken-tucky
Hotel. Twenty-five cents
a person is the charge of ad-mission.
The proceeds will go
towards a Sigma Alpha lota
Scholarship fund for the School
of Music.
Curtain Rises On “Old Lady 31"
At Playhouse Tomorrow Night
Unadulterated comedy will take
over the Playhouse stage when the
University of Louisville Players
offer as the third major production
of their season “Old Lady 31,”
by Rachel Crothers, February 8
and 9, with matinee on the ninth.
In the prologue we find an old
couple being dispossessed. Thelma
Allen, a junior
in the College
of Liberal Arts,
portrays the old
lady, who do-minates
the
whole play, and
Robert Leopold,
a fr e s hman,
plays her hus-b
an and. The
couple have
auctioned off their furniture for a
hundred dollars which will admit
the wife “Angie,” to an old ladies’
home. The inmates of the home
take the husband, Abe, in with
Angie and he soon becomes the
favorite of everyone.
Audiences will enjoy the young
romance in the midst of all the
old people; a young girl, Mary,
played by Alice Rennenberg, falls
in love with a young carpenter,
John, played by
Ted Miller.
Scandal re-sults
in the old
ladies’ home
from 4heir in-clusion
of Old
Lady 3 1, Leo-pold,
but mat-ters
are at last
adjusted.
An interesting
feature of the
play is its costuming, since it is
in the 1860’s. Other characters
are: Nancy, played by Nannie
Mae Abell; Mrs. Homans, Eliza-beth
Mowery; Abigail, Gladys
Whitlow; Blossy, Jeannette
Astles; Samuel Darby, U. S. Wha-len;
Mike, Harold Stalker; Eliza-beth,
Peggy Marvin; Minerva,
Carolyn Lewis; Granny, Irma
Schalk; Harrietta, Mary Cather-ine
Vanderveld; and Hepsie, Vir-ginia
Emrich. The prompter for
the play will be Ernestine Kohn-horst.

Student Assaults
Professor for “F”
Stanley B. Young, Former
Freshman, Attacks Dr.
Henry G. Hodges
Disgruntled over his expulsion
from the University due to poor
scholarship, Stanley B. Young,
former freshman in the College of
Liberal Arts, assaulted Dr. Henry
G. Hodges, one of the professors
who gave him a failing grade last
semester, after the Senior dance in
the gym last Friday night.
Dr. Hodges said he was plan-ning
to get into his car when he
heard Young call. The former
student, who stands well over six
feet, came up to the professor of
political science and demanded to
know why he had received a fail-ing
grade.
“You received just what you de-served,”
Dr. Hodges says he re-plied.
In the ensuing altercation, it
was reported, Young struck him
on the side of the neck. Bystanders
prevented further conflict by seiz-ing
Young.
Dr. Hodges asserts that he will
prosecute. “I wasn’t the only pro-fessor
who flunked him, but I was
probably the smallest one,” he
added.
HANLON AND JOLAS

at the Collegiate School
and the evening performance at
the Woman’s Club.

Players + Set + One Rehearsal = Darn Good Play
To dispose of their excess ener-gy,
members of the U. of L. Play-ers
threw together some scenery
and produced for the Saturday
meeting Stuart Walker’s “The
Medicine Show,” with only one
rehearsal. Suddenly inspired ac-tors
included Lucile Paris, who
read the prologue, Bud Redding,
Bill Kansinger, and James Wolf.
Bill Kansinger was especially
good in the characterization of a
very lazy fisher; so much so that
some probably wondered if he
would take a fish home if he
caught it. The constant expector-ation
of this character and the to-bacco-
chewing of the rest caused
one of the audience to remark,
“Well, it certainly is a sanitary
play.”
The scenery showed what can
be done in a short time and a
minimum of equipment; also it il-lustrated
what can be done with
effective use of lighting. The
hazy atmosphere of the lighting
helped produce the tempo of the
play.
Symphony In Fourth Concert Tuesday
H. Arthur Brown
To Be Conductor
At Performance
Mozart, Liadow, Smetana,
Dvorak Are Authors
Represented on
Program
H. Arthur Brown will conduct
the University of Louisville Sym-phony
Orchestra in the fourth con-cert
of the University of Louisville
Concert Series at the Memorial
Auditorium, on the evening of
February 12.
The program, which will range
from Mozart’s Serenade, more
commonly known as “Eine Kleine
Nachtmusik,” and the Eight Rus-sian
Folk Songs by Liadow of the
first half of Smetana’s Overture
to the Bartered Bride and the fifth
symphony, from the “New
World,” by Dvorak, will be varied
and interesting in nature.
Much time and effort on the
part of the director and members
of the orchestra has been spent in
preparing the concert, which they
have planned to appeal to all musi-cal
tastes, according to Mr. Brown.
Mozart Serenade
To Open Concert
The program to be given on
February 12 by the University of
Louisville Symphony Orchestra as
the fourth concert of the Univer-sity
of Louisville Concert Series
will open with the Serenade, “Eine
Kleine Nachtmusik,” by Mozart.
This is the first time this season
that music of Mozart has been of-fered
on this series. The Serenade
is typically Mozartian and takes
us back to the ruffles and powder-ed
wigs of Mozart’s day. The
music is dainty and old-fashioned,
and the third movement, the Min-uet,
shows traces of “Papa”
Haydn, Mozart’s teacher. Charles
J. Letzler is again at his post as
Concert-Meister, and E. J. Wota-wa,
Ruth von Beuest, and Karl
Schmidt are the principals of the
second violin, viola, and cello sec-tions
respectively.
Russian Folk
Songs by Liadow
The second number on the pro-gram
is the Eight Russian Folk
Songs by the “brilliant and origi-nal”
Anatole Liadow. Liadow,
who was a pupil of Rimsky-Korsa-kov
at St. Petersburg Conserva-tory,
has written in orchestral form
these simple songs of the peasants
and country-folk of his native
land. Judging from the melody,
the songs follow a variety of sub-jects.
There is first the plaintive
minor theme of the religious
chants. This is followed by the
songs of the tired, overworked
people of the field, the Christmas
carols, and the songs of the happy
dancing children.
