Traveler, Speaker
Reopens Alumni
Forum Series
The Louisville Public Forum,
sponsored by the University of
Louisville Alumni Association,
will reopen its 1937-38 season
with Richard Halliburton, travel-er,
explorer, author and lecturer
on November 7. “The Forum,
now in its twelfth year, has long
served the people of Louisville in
bringing prominent speakers to
the city,” Leslie Shively, Alumni
secretary, remarked, “and in per-petuating
free speech and ex-change
of opinions among the
citizenry.”
In addition to Halliburton the
Forum has succeeded in engaging
Reinald Werrenrath to speak on
“American Song,” Burton Crane
for a discussion of the Japanese-
Chinese situation, Stanley High
on “Goals for American Democ-racy,”
Joseph Auslander on
“Poetry Can Make a World.”
Wythe Williams will lecture on
“Dusk of Empire,” Martha Gell-horn
on “Both Halves of the
World,” and on January 30 J. G.
Crowther will close the season
with a scientific sketch, “An Out-line
of the Universe.”
“All of the speakers have been
selected on the basis of their qual-ifications,
the pertinence of their
subjects and their general inter-est,”
Mr. Shively said, and “hence,
a larger attendance and a greater
degree of cooperation is antici-pated.”
Last year over 550 patron
tickets were sold, and the same
arrangement in regard to admis-sion
is being followed this sea-son.
Tickets for the eight lectures,
entitling the holder to two seats
in the reserved section will again
be sold at $5.00, and one seat will
be $3-00. Individual admissions
have been placed at 5° cents.
The Alumni Association is of-fering
to the sorority or individ-ual
selling $5O worth of tickets
one season ticket free. All per-sons
or groups interested in this
proposal may call at the Alumni
rooms and secure lists of the
patrons for last year.

Colorful Cavalcade To Storm Georgetown Saturday
Graduates Donate
Five Microscopes
To Medical School
Dr. S. I. Kornhauser, professor
of anatomy in the School of
Medicine, announced recently
that his department had received
five Spencer microscopes, valued
at approximately $BOO as cen-tennial
gifts from a number of
prominent graduates of the school,
now practicing in Louisville. The
microscopes will be used to give
needy students access to instru-ments
which they would be un-able
to purchase otherwise.
The donors are: Dr. Irvin
Abell, ’97 and J. Abell, Jr., ’35;
Dr. Ellis S. Allen, ’Ol, and E. S.
Allen, Jr., ’34; Dr. Mischa Cas-per,
’00; Dr. John Henry
Heuser, '9l; and Dr. Robert L.
Kelly, ’2l.
Students desiring to rent micro-scopes
are selected by the Depart-ment
of Anatomy on the basis of
scholastic records and financial
needs, and for years there have
been requests for more micro-scopes
than the school had avail-able.
The proceeds of the $5
rental fee are used for the up-keep
of old microscopes and the
purchase of new ones.
Speed School Given
Gas-Testing Engine
The Mechanical Engineering
laboratory of Speed Scientific
School has been presented with a
regulation gasoline testing engine,
series 30, developed by the Ethyl
Gasoline Corporation, to be used
in gasoline consumption and en-gine
performance analyses. The
engine was presented to the Speed
School by the Stoll Oil Refining
Company of Louisville.
Turner And Skaggs
Run Neck And Neck
In Class Voting
What would an election be if
there weren’t any stuffed boxes?
Nothing, and that’s a fact. So, in
the Liberal Arts election for class
officers, we had a stuffed ballot.
It was only stuffed by one vote,
but that was enough to cause a
tie between Harold Turner and
Jimmy Skaggs for president of the
sophomore class.
Of course the ballot box wasn't
really stuffed, it was only that
some sophomore put his ballot
in the freshman box. Turner had
lost the election until the fresh-man
votes were counted, and
there was the vote that tied
everything up. Dr. S. G. Han-son,
the new professor is a wit-ness
that there was no funny busi-ness.
The rest of the sophomore of-ficers
are: Ethel Bauer, vice-pre-sident;
Ann Fallis, secretary; Vir-ginia
Schuler, treasurer; Charles
Hough, sergeant-at-arms.
Shirley McGaughern was elect-ed
senior class president; Cather-ine
Duffy, vice-president; Emily
Weigle, secretary; Virginia Lewis,
treasurer; and Charles Dobbins,
sergeant-at-arms.
The Junior Class selected Doro-thy
Althaus as president; Betty
Taylor, vice-president; Joseph
Marcuccilli, secretary; Dorothy
Sandidge, treasurer; Louis J.
Hackett, sergeant-at-arms.
Joe Perry was elected president
of the freshman class; John Snod-grass,
vice-president; Mary
Ward Goddard, secretary; Irma
Beall, treasurer; William H. Har-vin,
sergeant-at-arms.
Dr. Rauch Praises
U. S. Constitution
At Convocation
The writers of the United
States Constitution “spoke in the
name of ‘we, the people’ and the
glory of it is that they spoke the
truth,” Dr. Joseph Rauch, Trus-tee
of the University and rabbi
of Temple Adath Israel, declared
before a large gathering of stu-dents
at a convocation held last
Thursday, in The Playhouse, cele-brating
the sesquicentennial of
the signing of the Constitution.
Dr. Rauch spoke often of the
person from the ‘other side’ who
comes into this country, and
“how it is our duty to become
part of that phrase, ‘we, the
people.' ” The rabbi was born in
Austria and came to this country
at an early age.
“It is not" difficult,” Dr. Rauch
asserted, “to understand the Con-stitution,
until the lawyers get
hold of it. And it was not meant
for lawyers any more than the
Bible was meant for ministers.”
Music Teachers Give

Charles J. Letzler, teacher of
violin, and Norman Voelcker,
teacher of piano, at the School of
Music, will give a joint recital at
11 a. m., October 30, over sta-tion

Pre-Legal Students Asked To Register For Jury Panel
In Law School’s Moot Court; Four Attorneys Selected
Wanted: 25 jurors.
Dean J. N. Lott has issued a
request for that many student
volunteers to make up a sham
panal of the first jury trial of
this season to be conducted by
the Law School’s moot court.
Make believe hearing on a
civil injunction suit, selected
from among actual cases tried in
Louisville’s Circuit Court is to
be conducted on Wednesday
night, Nov. 3 in the Criminal
Court in the Courthouse annex.
An excellent display of Sou-thern
oratory can be expected
when Edwin R. Groves and J.
Albert Green, both from Georgia,
plead the case for the plaintiff..
Herman Freuchtenict and Jol/r
Gilbert Hicks compose defense
counsel.
Judge John Hancock, who has
followed this particular case
through its rather turbulant his-tory
and is very interested in the
pretense outcome, will sit on the
bench.
Witnesses, sheriff, clerk, plain-tiff
and defendant will be chosen
from Law School freshmen.
Mr. Edward S. Hungerland,
Louisville attorney, will supervise
Registrar Speaks
At Kentucky Meet
Ralph E. Hill, Registrar of the
University, will read a paper on
the affirmative of the subject “Do
State Requirements Discourage
Educated People from Teaching”
at the annual meeting of the As-sociation
of Kentucky Colleges
and Secondary Schools in Lexing-ton,
October 29.
student proceedings during the
trial. He also is in charge of the
selection of jurymen from the
sham-panel, and is adviser for
all moot court cases.
The case will be argued by
senior students only. These men
passed the Bar examination last
June, and are members of the
Kentucky Bar Association.
Campus classmen, pre-legal stu-dents
especially, are urged to
submit their names for the panal.
Sex makes no difference. It is
hoped that women will partici-pate
in moot court activities, and
that the juries will be composed
partly of the more gentle sex.
The trial will take approxi-mately
an hour and a half. Vol-unteers
may submit their appli-cations
to the editor of '"'The
Cardinal, at The Cardinal office.
