UNIVERSITY BOAT RIDE SCHEDULED
BY COUNCIL FOR FRIDAY, 22
This year’s all-university Boat
Ride has been scheduled by the
Student Council for Friday, May
22, from 12:45 to 7:45 with a
floor show similar to that of last
year which featured prominent
members of the faculty in mo-ments
of abandon. All classes will
be dismissed at 12:30 for the
event.
Tickets, priced at fifty cents
per person, will be limited to 400
and will not be sold after May
20, according to Gil Adams, gen-eral
chairman, and will be placed
on sale in the bookstore and dis-tributed
to all organizations.
Other details including more
complete plans for the floor show
which always features a faculty
skit, will be announced in future
issues of the Cardinal.
This is the second annual spring
Boat Ride which was inaugurated
to take the place of the once tra-ditional
Campus Carnival.
Faculty Floor Show
Featured By Seniors
A certain Liberal Arts faculty
member who has long been boast-ing
about his talents as an enter-tainer
will have a chance to show
his wares, and one female member
of the faculty has consented to
demonstrate her ability as a
“Good Time Nellie” as part of the
faculty floor show at the Senior
Ball, according to Kathryn Miller,
chairman of the dance committee.
This faculty floor show will be
the feature of the Ball, scheduled
for Monday, May n, at the Casa
Madrid, and the dance committee
confidently expects it will show
the profs up at their best—and
worst.
Andy Anderson, with his own
entertainers and singers, a favor-ite
orchestra on the campuses of
Kentucky State and the Univer-sity
of Cincinnati, will play from
9 to 1.
Tickets for the Ball may be ob-tained
from any member of the
senior class.
Little Theatre Group
Votes 'Romance' Best
The response to the question-naire
circulated among the audi-ences
who saw Mrs. Moonlight
was above expectations of the
Board of Governors, according to
President Barry Bingham. The
play which received the greatest
number of votes was Romance,
second production of the Little
Theatre season. The other plays
in the order of voting were Small
Miracle, Accent On Youth, and
Mrs. Moonlight.
The play which Little Theatre
audiences wanted most to see pro-duced
by the group was Animal
Kingdom. The Trial of Mary
Dugan was second in popularity.
Others which received enough
votes to be considered were The
Last of Mrs. Cheyney, And So To
Bed, Journey's End, and Counsel-
Nominations for Laurel

The American Council on Edu-cation
is the most comprehensive
educational organization in the
United States with 375 members,
representing colleges, universities,
sectional educational groups, and
specialized teachers groups.
In the first seventeen years of
its existence the Council has ac-complished
some of the most val-uable
work in the history of edu-cation.
Its Catalogue of Colleges
and Universities, now in the third
edition, is recognized as the best
survey of secondary educational
institutions both here and abroad.
One of its latest projects, and
one which is consuming the great-er
portion of the time spent by
the Council’s research staff, is The
American Youth Commission
which is making a five-year study
of the problems relative to the
care and education of American
youth. Dr. Nicholas Murray
Butler, president of Columbia
University, is chairman of the
Commission, and Dr. Homer P.
Rainey is the director of the staff.
The American Council on Edu-cation
operates through a board
of executive officers led by the

Dr. Kent, with the committee of
officers of which he is chairman,
will act in an advisory capacity
to the executive body.

COUNCIL PUTS UP CENSORED SLATE
OF NOMINEES FOR FRIDAY’S VOTING
BULLETIN
Called Tuesday evening, just as the Cardinal was going to
press, a special meeting of the Student Council was to have been
held Wednesday at 12:30. Censorship of election candidates on
last Tuesday was to be discussed. A similar meeting was held
last year after students protested the censorship by the Council.
BY THE EDITOR
A slate carefully censored by
the Student Council of the College
of Liberal Arts, in order to en-sure
candidates “who would be
sure to work for the good of the
school” will greet that part of the
student body of the College which
fares forth to vote tomorrow.
From io in the morning until
2 in the afternoon the polling
place on the first floor of Gardiner
Hall will be open so that voters
may pick their choice of the slate,
which was weeded of “undesir-ables”
at a meeting of the Student
Council last Tuesday.

Dr. Charles J. Turck, president
of Centre College, Danville, Ky.,

Art Library Displays
Exhibit Of Paintings
Through the efforts of Morris
Belknap, Louisville artist and art
connoisseur, the University of
Louisville Art Library has finally
been opened on the main floor of
the Administration Building and
is now exhibiting a group of paint-ings
belonging to Mr. Belknap.
The exhibit contains reproduc-tions
of works by Cezanne, Titian,
Giorgone, Courbet, and Degas.
The room is now furnished with
leather backed chairs, a large
reading table, and book stacks. All
this, together with the valuable
art books and prints, was donated
by Mr. Belknap.
Students studying art in hu-manities
courses may find much
helpful reference material in the
Art Library, which is open for the
use of all students of the Univer-sity
and anyone else who is in-terested.
'Sweet and Twenty' Set
For Saturday Showing
What happens to two young
people in the garden of an old va-cant
house is just about the whole
idea of “Sweet and Twenty” a
one-act play by Floyd Dell. Under
the direction of Bud Redding, the
comedy will be presented at one
o’clock Saturday, May 23, at the
election meeting of the players.
The cast is composed of Shirley
Gaillard, who plays the girl; Wal-ter
Kirkendall, who takes the part
of the young man; and Shirley
McGaughran, who helps further
the romance. All are new to the
Playhouse stage. The setting is
the orchard of the old house, and
will be constructed by Bill Kan-zinger.
Orchid Award Will Be
MadeAgain Tomorrow
Presentation of the Alumni-
Cardinal orchid will take place as
usual at 12:30 tomorrow in the
League Room. Last week the
award was given by Embert T.
Rice, ’27, and on April 24 Mildred
Shapinsky, ’35, presented the or-chid.
‘Undesirables’ Not Named.
Nobody on the Student Coun-cil
seems to be quite sure just who
were eliminated at that meeting.
George Lowe, Edgar Straeffer, and
Dorothy Sandidge are allegedly
among them. On the list of can-didates
submitted to the Cardinal
their names were scratched out.
Warren Arata, who is chairman of
the council’s election committee,
said that he could not state de-finitely
those tossed out by the
council, and he did not know any-body
who had a list.
Mr. Arata was asked what stan-dards
were used as a basis for the
disqualification of the candidates.
‘‘Those disqualified were those
we had never heard of, who had
not engaged in University activ-ities,”
he declared. He stated that
they probably were put up for
election to satisfy little cliques, as
an editorial in the Cardinal last
week had suggested. He remarked
