In Review
Emmet V. Mittlebeeler
THE NEXT TIME YOU flunk
an examination, don’t follow the
example of some Rumanian
schoolboys. They committed sui-cide.
It seems that every year at ex-amination
time quite a number of
students kill themselves. This year
the examinations were unusually
difficult, and, consequently, the
number of suicides rose.
Hoping to put an end to the in-creasing
number of jobless univer-sity
graduates, the Ministry of
Education determined to allow
only highly intellectual students
get a higher education, and to
achieve this end made examina-tions
stiffer.
The average Rumanian desires
to enter government service on the
basis of his degree. The govern-ment,
which already spends 60 per
cent of the nation’s budget in sal-aries
to employees, cannot afford
to give more; therefore fewer stu-dents
were allowed to go to col-lege.
Hence the tough examina-tions,
and subsequent suicides.-

political, have been created since

Alumni Assumes
Charge of Forum
Dorothy Thompson, Admiral
Sims, Kaltenborn Among
Likely Speakers
TO LAST TEN WEEKS
A proposal to take over the
sponsorship and management of
the Louisville Public Forum was
approved by the board of directors
of the Alumni association of the
University.
According to Dan Thompson,
president of the association, a ten
weeks’ forum series is planned,
which will feature a number of
prominent speakers. Among them
will be in all probability, Dorothy
Thompson (Mrs. Sinclair Lewis),
Admiral William Sims, Dr. Morris
Fishbein, Sir Frederick Wyte, Max
Eastman, Lewis Corey, Louis Un-termeyer,
Albert Edward Wiggam,
Dr. Frank Bohn, Drew Pearson,
Nicholas Roosevelt, Herbert Agar,
and H. V. Kaltenborn. All of these
speakers are available.
Robert Horan, director of the
old public forum, promised cooper-ation
from the old board of direc-tors.
The public forum of i933'34
was obliged to close on account
of financial difficulties.
Wilmer C. Surber, executive se-cretary
of the association, has been
authorized .to receive mail sub-scriptions.
OLD CLOTHES SOUGHT
FOR NURSERY SCHOOL
An appeal has been made by the
Nursery School for sweaters, go-lashes,
underwear, suits, dresses,
stockings, and shoes. These chil-dren,
according to Mary Lewman,
who is in charge of the school,
come from the very poorest of
families and have no money to
buy clothes to withstand the on-coming
winter. Unless this appeal
is answered, the children will be
unable to attend school.
The children are also in need of
food and transportation to and
from the campus during the winter
months. $lO is a sufficient amount
to insure a meal every day for six
months for one of the nursery
school pupils.

Group Planning to Conduct
Membership Drive
At their initial meeting Mon-day
night, October 1, the Little
Theatre company was entertained
with a one-act play, “The Eve and
Evelyn,” under the direction of
Hester Brooker Keller. The play
concerns the adventure of two
young honeymooners, portrayed
by Frank McDowell and Dorothy
Rutherford, who are pursued to an
inn at the Twin Falls by the girl’s
parents, played by John Hight-mier
and Anna Mae Byrne. The
young people are aided in their
escape by Edward Nicklies in the
role of Sam, the innkeeper.
Four more one-act plays, it was
announced, will be presented at
the meetings of the Little Theatre
company, to be held between the
five major productions of the year.
The members of the Little The-are
company will conduct a mem-bership
drive during the next few
weeks, H. Y. Offut, Jr., president
of the organization, announced. He
emphasized the importance of this
campaign because this season the
members alone can purchase single
admissions. (Continued on page 6)
