CHRIS GREENE TO CARRY U. L.
BOOSTERS TO HANOVER GAME
Price Cut to $1.95 on Smaller
Boat; Leave at 9 a. m.,
Back by 9:30 p. m.
Plans for the Hanover Boat
Trip were changed radically last
Wednesday, October 9, at a meet-ing
of the Boat Committee. The
project of acquiring the Island
Queen was abandoned and the
Chris Greene, last year’s craft, was
chosen for the transportation to
Saturday’s game.
Perhaps the most radical change
is in the price, which has fallen
from $3.00 to $1.95. The Chris
Greene will leave Louisville at 9
a. m. and arrive at Hanover at 1
p. m. in time for the game. It
will cast off again at 6 p. m. to
dock at Louisville by about 9:30.
Hot meals may be secured on the
boat.
Music will be furnished on the
boat by the new campus orchestra
known as the Cardinals, under the
leadership of Jimmie King.
The reduced price will include
transportation to Hanover and
back, admission to the Hanover
football game, and all entertain-ment
on the Chris Greene. In ad-dition
to the dancing, games and
stunts are also being planned.
Arrangements are now in pro-gress
to furnish transportation
from the boat to the playing field.
It is expected by the Speed
School sophomores, who are the
leading spirits in the boat-ride
plans, that the reduced rate will
enable many to attend who could
not otherwise afford to go.
Plans Complete on
U. of L 8 Reel
Sound Picture
Final arrangements have been
completed for the showing of
“The Human Adventure,” the
eight-reel talking picture to be
given at the Louisville Memorial
Auditorium on November 8 under
the auspices of the University of
Louisville.
“The Human Adventure,’’ it
may be recalled from the story in
last week’s Cardinal, sketches the
rise of man from savagery to civil-ization
and is the production of
the Oriental Institute of Chicago
and supervised by Dr. James H.
Breasted, famed historian and
Director of the Institute.
“The Human Adventure” is a
new and radical departure in both
the fields of the cinema and edu-cation.
According to advanced re-ports,
“it not only presents a re-markable
picture of how man has
restored the lost pages of civiliza-tion
and gained a true picture of
man’s heroic rise from savagery,
but in addition it enables us to see
and visualize the tremendous
achievements of ancient man.”

COUNCIL MAKES PLANS
FOR SCAVENGER HUNT
An all-University scavenger
hunt will be sponsored by the
Student Council in the near fu-ture.

hunt, a list of about 100 articles

will be selected.
At a given point and time all
teams will receive the same list
of things to secure and will be
given so many hours to get the
articles. The team bringing in
the articles registering the highest
number of points will receive a
prize of $lO. There will be no
entry fee for the teams.
All articles will be returned to

TRUSTEES RULE LEGION CHARGES
AGAINST FREEMAN UNSUSTAINED
Red-Agent Charge Exploded;
Stites Probe Proven
Baseless
By unanimous decision of the
Board of Trustees of the Univer-sity
of Louisville the charges pre-ferred
by the American Legion
implying that Dr. Ellis Freeman
is in the employ of the Third In-ternational
were declared unsub-stantiated
at a recent meeting.
A group from the Legion under
the leadership of Colonel Henry J.
Stites conducted an “investiga-tion”
of Dr. Freeman last May
and subsequently informed the
Board of Trustees that Dr. Free-man
had received a check from a
Moscow bank, presumably for ser-vices
done, and was engaged in
selling radical literature on the
campus. After studying the affi-davits
and evidence on the matter
the Board registered a unanimous
opinion “that said charges were
not sustained,” the minutes of
meeting read. An excerpt of the
minutes giving the resolution fol-lows:
“Resolved: that the secretary
be and he is directed to inform
Colonel Stites in writing that the
charges submitted by him and his
committee against Dr. Ellis Free-man
have been investigated by the
Board of Trustees and the Board
decided they were not sustained.’’
Dr. Freeman made no comment
on the decision of the Board.
Little Theatre to
Offer Famed
'Accent on Youth'
George Patterson, program
director of WAVE, has the role of
the middle-aged playwright in
Samson Raphaelson’s “Accent on
Youth,” initial production of The
Little Theatre season to be pre-sented
on the Playhouse stage at
8:30 the nights of November 4,5,
and 6. “Accent on Youth” is a
witty and sophisticated comedy
and is acceded to be an outstand-ing
Broadway production of the
1934-35 season. The story is
based on the attitude of the play-wright
who stands aside and aids
a younger man called Dickie to
take his place in the affections of
the . girl they both love. In the
end, however, he finds that his ac-tion
prompted by consideration of
his age was unnecessary and that
age has nothing to do with the
question.
The part of the girl will be
taken by Lois Warden, who was
an active member of the Carolina
Playmakers in her undergraduate
days. Both of Miss Warden’s
sisters, Marjorie and June, have
appeared in University plays. The
former was Kate Hardcastle in
“She Stoops to Conquer” and the
latter played Eva in “Adam And
Eva” of the U. of L. Players’
1933-34 season.
