GIL ADAMS
If In Your Blood
There's Printers'
Ink, Come See Us
One of the most important
aspects of college life is the op-portunity
it offers to its partici-pants
to engage in extra-cur-ricular
activity. Clubs and fra-ternal
organizations of all
types, language study groups,
dramatics and similar fields of
activity are well represented at
the University of Louisville.
The values of these groups are
too obvious to be enumerated.
The Cardinal urges all in-coming
freshmen to affiliate
themselves with at least one of
these activities. Especially, we
ask each and every one of you
who is interested in any aspect
of journalism to apply for a
position on the Cardinal.
A large staff of reporters will
be necessary this year to carry
on the complete coverage of the
University which we desire.
Positions are also open in the
advertising department. Those
who wish to work at any phase
of editorial work should apply
as soon as possible to Emmet
V. Mittlebeeler, while appli-cants
for positions on the busi-ness
staff should consult Lyle
Wilborn. Applicants will be re-ceived
in the Cardinal offices,
basement Gardiner Hall.
99 Percent of Speed
Graduates Find Work
Ninety-nine percent of all June
graduates from the Speed Scien-tific
School are now employed, ac-cording
to statistics just received
in Dean B. M. Brigman’s office.
The average employment per-centage
for all Speed students,
irrespective of class, is 93.4. Those
following their chosen profession
number 80 percent. Five percent
are pursuing graduate work, and
8.4 percent are engaged in other
fields of effort.
MEDICAL SCHOOL TRANSFORMED
BY $260,000 IMPROVEMENTS
§260,000 worth of improve-ments,
which were begun during
the summer and are now rapidly
being completed, are transforming
the School of Medicine of the Uni-versity
into one of the most up to
date schools in the country. The
old building at First and Chestnut
is being completely modernized,
and anew building is being added
just behind the old one.
Dr. S. I. Komhauser, who
seems to be prouder of the chang-ed
appearance of the school than
anyone else, was a willing guide to
several interested students who in-spected
the school, from the newly
arranged dissecting rooms on the
fourth floor to the student smoker
and book store in the basement.
The changed appearance of the
school is surpassed by nothing
short of the increased efficiency
gained by the additional room and
new equipment.
Lighting is one of the most im-portant
features in any kind of
study, and particularly in medi-cine.
It is not surprising, then
that thousands of .dollars have
been spent on new lighting equip-ment
all over the building, and
the result is one of the most ef
fective lighting systems in the uni-versity.
The gross anatomy room,
where cadavers are dissected, is
equipped with a spotlight over
each humidor, which the student
can turn on any part of the body
he is studying. Four of these
spotlights are turned on the table
in the new animal operating room.
Anew opening and closing ap-paratus
for the huge skylight
which lights the hall on the fourth
floor and the dissecting room has
been installed, making this prob-ably
the lightest part of the build-ing.
Floors in the old building are
being refinished, and most of them
covered with linoleum. In the
new building, floors are mostly
concrete, with the exception of the
operating room, where there js a
terrazo floor.
The new library arrangement is
unique, each department having
its own library on the floor where
that department is located, but all
of them directly above or below
the others, and connected by an
electrical dumb waiter. In this
way books may be easily sent from
one floor to another. The general
library is in the basement, and all
new equipment is being supplied
for this room. Miss Blake Beem,
who has been librarian at the Uni-versity
of Arkansas and reference
librarian of the Boston Medical
library, is in charge.
The lecture rooms and labora-tories
are being painted, and much
new equipment installed in the
ones which aren’t completely new.
The new lecture rooms have raised

DEAN McCLAIN EXPECTS
ENROLLMENT INCREASE
Registration for the School of
Law promises to be the largest
since it was accredited as a stan-dard
law school five or six years
ago, according to Dean McClain.
An enrollment of from thirty-five
to forty Freshman is expected, he
said.
