University Trustees
Host Varsity Squad
Harmon Lamar Is Made
Permanent Captain
at Banquet
Members of the varsity of the
University of Louisville Cardinal
football team were guests at a
banquet Monday night in the
Louis XVI room of the Brown
Hotel. Hosts at the dinner were
the Board of Trustees of the Uni-versity.
This was a mark of dis-tinction
accorded the team as it
is the first time for many a year
that the Board has seen fit to
treat the players.
Dr. Kent, Mr. W. W. Crawford,
president of the Alumni Associa-tion,
the coaching staff, members
of the Press, players and managers
were present. Mr. Edward S.
Jouett, chairman of the Board, was
toastmaster at the strictly inform-al
affair. The first speaker was
President Kent who commented
on the team's condition and prais-ed
the high character of the ath-letic
heads.
Alumni Head Speaks
Mr. Crawford spoke next, also
praising the leaders of the depart-ment
and also the co-operation of
the Board and Dr. Kent. Coach
Apitz spoke next, indulging in a
pleasant repartee with William B.
Pirtle of the Board. Mr. Pirtle
asked Apitz if the splendid ban-quet
meal was a sample of the
training table for the next season,
to which Laurie was quick to re-spond,
‘‘Ask the Board of Trus-tees.'’
Each of the members of the staff
made brief remarks, as did each
player. Coach Apitz announced
that the banquet would be a fine
opportunity for the team to elect
a permanent captain for the past
season. This honor was given to
Harmon Lamar, regular end and
graduating senior.
First-Nighter Scans
"Bundling" Observers
November’s chilly death-rale
whisked in another delightful open-ing
night and an eager bundled
first night crowd banged in. And
I mean banged, for dear old B. of
G. forgot to snub, or rather, did
snub ye olde chapel door. But
even the happy faces of the older
patrons couldn’t erase the six-weeks
pallor on the visages of the
woe-stricken student body. But
what do we see
....Nell Locke and Benny
Wlels with that oofly smug smile
that comes with the years, but
who is the sandy blond, Nell? . .
. . and Arabella with a golden
dress and Sigma Tau to match;
beloved tells me its Pyramid to
match. . . . but there’s first cur-tain
and sans Jean Purdue vs.
Indiana Woertz. And folks, it
was Woertz than you can imagine
without the orchestra. . . .
.... Over to the Mummy house
abdve Zapp’s only to see Peren-
Mama!
"Here’s That Man Again—”
Thermometer Tester
Sets All-Time High
Among other things this past
week is the man who's been haunt-ing
Gardiner Hall. Tousle haired
wall-eyed Arden Wheeler holds a
record as an interrupter. Wheeler
is the boy who recently broke in
on every professors’ class, every
hour, and everyday for a week.
After entering and surveying the
class, it was the lad’s wont to gaze
at the thermometer, scribble some-thing
on a pad and leave as un-ceremoniously
as he had entered.
It was thought that the pro-fessors
and students were the only
sufferers from these daily intru-sions,
until one day in Dean Op-penheimer's
office Wheeler was
overheard saying “this job is driv-in’
me nuts.’’ Wheeler’s mental
state is not known, but he is no
longer in Gardiner Hall. Perhaps
the job drove him nuts or perhaps
the heat situation cleared up.
Robert Bell To Head
Frosh Tutoring Unit
Miss Lyons Sponsors Service
In Methods, Objectives
of Study
Freshmen in the University of
Louisville will no longer fear six
weeks exams or even final exams
for that matter. Anew and
novel institution has been founded
on the campus. This pertains to
the newly organized Freshmen Tu-toring
Service. Dr. Lyons, of the
English department, is in charge
of the Service. Tutoring will be
done by Robert Bell, senior in
the college of Liberal Arts and
major in Education.
The chief main purpose of this
plan is to help freshmen on the
methods of study and course ob-jectives.
Freshies may also re-ceive
special help in any particu-lar
subject. The assistance is pri-marily
for students whose work is
not as they would wish it to be,
but it is also open to any freshmen.
Student Cheering
Wins Baldwin--
Wallace Plaudits
Congratulations on U-L Spirit
And Sportsmanship
Received
Students of Baldwin-Wallace
University who attended the game
with the Cardinals at Parkway
Field were impressed with their
first taste of Kentucky hospi-tality.
They were touched by the
cheer the U. of L. rooters gave to
Schoen, individual high point man
in the nation, when he earned this
honor and left the field.
Also they were impresed when
the Card fans cheered in response
to Eddie Simon’s announcement
that the student body saluted a
great team in Baldwin-Wallace.
The following letter received
the day after the game expressed
their sentiments:
“Asa representative group of
Baldwin-Wallace college we wish
to congratulate you on your spirit
and the cheering section. Never
have we witnessed such a friendly
attitude under the same conditions.
We hope the band will have a
successful campaign.
Again may we congratulate you.
Visitors from Baldwin-Wallace.”

We have learned that you are
talented along musical lines es-pecially
that you can play or have
played in a band. Every student
who has participated in musical
organizations in high school should
be congratulated for his accom-plishment
which has required
much time and effort.
You remember, no doubt, the
thrill of a stirring march; no man
who has played with a band can
forget certain selections, his di-rector,
trips, formations, colorful
uniforms comradeship.

National CollegiatePoll Shows up Taxation
Professors As Collection Of Simon Legrees
Dr. Haygood Yesses
All Luxury
Taxes
Definite proof that professors
of taxation are a race of meanies
has been ascertained by a recent
national poll. 116 professors out
of 127 have asserted themselves
to be in favor of luxury taxes,
particularly tobacco. A question-naire
concerning taxation was sent
out by the President of the New
York Tax Commision to 200 pro-fessors
in 200 larger Universities
of the country. 127 responses
were received. Dr. Haygood, act-ing
as spokesman for the Universi-ty
of Louisville, along with his
colleagues the country over yes-yessed
all luxury taxes.
Finding of the poll reveal Dr.
Haygood as being on the majority
side of most tax questions with
an occasional leaning to the mi-nority
side. Overwhelming ap-proval
of a personal graduated in-come
tax with stress on those
most qualified to pay was register-ed.
At the same time a thumbs-down
attitude on sales taxes was
recorded. Financing the next war
entirely by taxes on war profits
received • a huge majority. One
part of the questionnaire given
over to the relationship of Fed-eral,
State, and Local jurisdictions
disclosed the fact that the vote
U - L Professor Is
Thumbs-Down
On Sales Tax
on Federal aid to education was
almost evenly divided, the “yes”
tallies exceeding the “noes” by 6.
Dr. Haygood along with the
bulk of professors approved in-heritance
taxation, a net income
levy on corporations, taxation of
liquor by the Federal government
only, and an increased control and
support of crime suppression by
the Federal government. Con-trary
to the majority vote, how-ever,
he okayed a Federal pro-duction
tax on liquor, and vetoed
State inheritance taxes.

A week of concerted drive
for contributions to swell the
Band Uniform Fund will com-mence

Monday night after President
R. A. Kent had proclaimed next
week official Band Week follow-ing
unanimous approval by the
University Council.
Contributions to the Band Fund
will be sought in every school of
the University during the period,

point of the week’s activity is to
be a benefit basketball game be-tween
the U. of L. Varsity and
former varsity players of the
Alumni scheduled for 7:30 Wed-nesday
night, December 9, in the
gym.

Engineer’s Ball held in the spring
of each year.
By the suggestion of the Uni-versity
council which passed on
the Band Week proposal last
Monday afternoon, the method of
securing contributions from stu-
Kent Proclaims Band Week
The University has enjoyed
a period of growth which has
seen its student body increase
and its several schools given
recognition. It is now time
that we provide ourselves with
those things which please us
and win admiration from our
friends.
I join with your student lead-ers
in their effort to provide a
fine band and do here and now
proclaim the week of Decem-ber
7th as official Band Week
throughout the University.
R. A. Kent, President
I Want a Band in
Uniform Because :
I feel it is indispensable for
any well-organized student
body.. Clearly, we have made
some progress toward this goal
in the last year, but we can
hope for scant improvements
when one of the absolute ne-cessities
is lacking.
