‘College Nite’
Get-Together
For Students
The Junior College of the Uni-versity
will hold its second an-nual
“College Night” at 7:30
Friday night in the gymnasium.
Parents, students and faculty
members will gather to discuss
the students’ problems.
It is planned to have three
speakers and various kinds of en-tertainment.
President Raymond
A. Kent; Hilda Threlkeld, Dean
of Women; and J. J. Oppen-heimer,
Dean of the Liberal Arts
College, are scheduled to talk. To
be displayed will be the Larson
Plan which shows the University
of Louisville one-hundred years
from today and the improvements
that are hoped to be attained.
Slides illustrating the progress of
the University will also be shown.
Dr. Francis O. Wilcox is in charge
of “College Night.”
Most of the larger colleges have
this form of get-together and find
it very successful, Dr. Wilcox
said. Louisville inaugurated it
last year.
Dr. J. M. Kinsman
Speaks To Club
On Sulphanilamide
In a speech at the last Biology
Club meeting Dr. J. Murray
Kinsman, member of the Medical
School faculty, spoke on Sul-phanilamide,
the drug that has
received widespread newspaper
publicity due to the fact that it
is believed to be the agent in an
“elixir” which has caused 57
deaths in the last few months.
Said Dr. Kinsman, “The drug,
although not poisonous or danger-ous
when administered by a
physician, can cause dire results
if taken by a patient who is
neither under a physician’s care
nor has a prescription for the
drug.”
In answer to questions asked
by members of the group Dr.
Kinsman said that “Sulphanila-mide
is being used as a cure-all,
although it isn’t.” Yet, doctors
are experimenting with it and
trying to find exactly what dis-eases
it will cure. We know that
it is successful in cases of spinal
meningitis, typhoid, and certain
other bacilli infections.
Concluding his speech, the
doctor warned, “Sulphanilamide
should be placed under a law
similar to the Federal Narcotic
laws.”
Student Council President
Buddy Panther announced an
official pep convocation for
November 10, the day before
the Armistice Day game with
Centre.

Sophomore Election Now Muddled Protest
Turner Followers
Object To Skaggs’
Run-Off Victory
By Leonard Brodsky
The Turner-Skaggs run-off
election to settle the tie for Liber-al
Arts sophomore class presi-dent
has been protested. This
adds anew chapter to campus
politics, which at best have never
been too good. However it does
seem that in this case someone
has a legitimate kick coming.
WTiich side deserves to kick and
which side deserves to receive it
is hard to say.
In the first place Jimmy
Skaggs, Student Council and
Sigma Ch i Sigma member,
was elected president of the soph-omore
class, that is, he was it—
until the election judges found a
sophomore ballot voted for Harold
Turner, Delta Sigma pledge, and
Skaggs’ opponent, mixed in with
the freshmen votes. This newly
found ballot threw the election
into a tie, the first or e in the
history of the Liberal Arts Stu-dent
Council.
A run-off election was held last
Friday and Skaggs won by two
votes. There was a grand total
of 68 votes cast. Now comes the
news that the election has been
protested “on the basis the elec-

Football Queen
Lucille Ridings
President R. A. Kent
Appointed Head
Of National Group
President R. A. Kent was ap-pointed
chairman of a committee
on student personnel work at a
meeting of the executive commit-tee
of the American Council on
Education. The committee met
October 27, at Washington, D. C.
The purpose of this student
personnel group is to make a
study of the larger educational in-stitutions
and what they are doing
in this field. Later in the year
the committee expects to publish
a series of hand-books on per-sonnel
work. They will also spon-sor
short volumes entitled “The
Student and His Problems.”
At a meeting of the Association
of American Colleges and Second-ary
Schools at Lexington, Octo-ber
29, Dr. Kent was elected
chairman of a Committee on
Higher Institutions of the A. A.
C. S. S. Ralph E. Hill, registrar

Chi Omega Candidate Is Football Queen
L. Ridings Choice
For Armistice Day
Center Game Fete
Lucille Ridings, the Chi Ome-ga’s
chief heart-throbber, will
mount a throne on the threshold
of color and glamor, at Maxwell
Field, Armistice Day, to be cere-moniously
anointed “Queen of
Football.”
Putting on a Glenn Perkins
(better forget him) finish, the
Chi Omegas turned up, having
sold the astounding total of nine-teen
season tickets to the Red
Birds’ football scuffles, winning
the famed position for queen.
Only the Chi Omegas’ gift for
gab and irresistible salesmanship
could accomplish such a feat.
Imagine, only nineteen passports
won the contest!
When the football ceases to
fire for fifteen minutes on the
memorial November 11, and
Louisville rooters can breathe
and possibly laugh at Centre Col-lege,
the coronation will be held.
The pride of Chi Omega will
walk out on the field, and just
what happens then, only the
actual preceedings will tell. We’re
referring to the crowning of our
queen, nothing else.
With the record number of
forty-nine ducats peddled by the
sororities, it’s understandable
that the contestants were prac-tically
neck-and-neck during the
entire running. All but stepping
on the heels of our future queen
were the Sigma Kappas, with Dot
Myatt, the popular little girl
from way down South in Louis-ville,
yearning for the abstract
chair of honor.
Until the last day of the dis-pute,
the Pi Phis were prettying
up their future Queen Elizabeth
(Miller) for her potential stu-pendous
entrance on the “Field
of Glory.” However, they didn’t
realize that the crown-hungry Chi
Omegas and the king-hungry Sig-ma
Kappas had so unreasonably
much in them. They attained the
shocking (people are shocked in
various ways) number of nine
sales.
This unusual contest had three
candidates for the cellar, but two
of them lost out. These two are
the Zeta Tau Alpha-Betty Stur-geon
combination with four sales
and Gladys McDaniels’ Kappa
Delta, selling one less ticket, And
at the bottom was the Delta
Zeta-Eleaynor Robertson com-bination,
who repeated their sales-manship
stunt twice.
There will be a meeting of
all the newly elected class of-ficers
on Friday, November 5,
at 12:30 in Gardiner Hall,
room 103.
