CARDINAL WE ARE PROUD
THAT . . .
. . . “The Cardinal is a newspaper,
published by the students of the Uni-versity
of Louisville. The views ex-pressed
in it are those of students
only.”

E. Parkway
Bus Line
Drive Pushed
By Bob Henry
The Eastern Parkway bus line
to U. of L. proposed last August
by a group of mothers of students
living in the Highlands and
Crescent Hill is fast becoming a
reality. After the plan was ap-proved
by Mayor Scholtz and re-ferred
to Frank Miller of the
Louisville Railway Company, who
stated that such a line had long
been under consideration and, if
shown practical, would be put into
operation. Petitions were sent out
to many different organizations
which would be affected by the
line. This was done in an attempt
to show the need for such a line.
Petitions sent to the Crescent
Hill Woman’s Club, the Mothers’
Forum of the University, its stu-dents
and faculty, and the High-land
Junior High Parent-Teachers
Association have already been
signed and returned. Other peti-tions
sent to the Reynolds Metal
Company and several other af-fected
organizations have not been
received as yet. A letter was re-ceived
from Dr. George Dwyer,
commander of the Highland Post
American Legion, promising that
organization’s full support of the
measure.
Would Be Asset
This bus line would undoubted-ly
be a great asset to the students
living in its vicinity, and also to
such business organizations as the
Reynolds Metal Company, many
of whose employees would be af-fected.
It would definitely shorten
the length of time now required
for trips to the above localities,
in fact, practically cut the time
in half. At present, almost forty
minutes are required to travel
from Crescent Hill to U. of L.;
the trip from the Highlands be-ing
about as long.
University students who love
their sleep wouldn’t have to roll
out of bed at the crack of dawn,
but might indulge in the luxury
of an extra forty winks. There
would be no necessity for long
waits for street cars because of
faulty connections, a direct line
would be available. As stated by
Mr. Miller, this line has long been
under consideration, and it is
hoped that it will ultimately
reach the stage of completion. It
has been announced that anyone
interested in this plan should see
either L. A., Dean J. J. Oppen-heimer
or Miss Hilda Threlkeld.
For Career Women
Miss Dorothy Coates, of the
Katherine Gibbs School in Boston,
will speak on “Opportunities for
College Women in the Field of
Secretarial Work”, Friday at 12:30,
at the Women’s League Luncheon
in the Alumni Rooms. There will
be a charge of 25c for a luncheon
plate; lists are posted in the
Women’s Building and the
sorority houses for the benefit of
those who wish to sign up.
Miss Coates comes in a series
of speakers which the Women’s
League is bringing to the campus
to discuss problems and subjects
of interest to all co-eds.
N. Y. A. Coffers
Licked Dry,
Koester Says
“For the first time in several
years the Student Aid Committee
has found that the need for
N. Y. A. in the University of
Louisville will require all of the
money allotted to the school”,
Dr. Leonard Koester announced
today.
About 300 jobs are being given
out on a basis of need and scholar-ship
that will require $2,550 per
month, the Federal alottment to
the school. The money will be
paid out in wages of from ten to
twenty dollars a month in both
the University and the Municipal
College. For several years the
University has returned part of
its quota.
Dr. Koester said recently that
more students than ever before
had asked for N. Y. A. assistance,
and placed the approximate num-ber
of applications at one thou-sand.
The approximately 30% of
applicants who were selected for
work this semester rank unusually
high in scholarship.
Citing the fact that other
countries have been giving as-sistance
to needy students for
many years, Dr. Koester asserted
that the N. Y. A. is filling an
urgent need for help to those
students who are willing to work
to obtain an education.
Religious Week
Planned By
B. S. U. Heads
The B. S. U. will have a
“Religious Emphasis Week” be-ginning
February 19, with daily
meetings to be held at 12:45 in
Gardiner 203. The Rev. Dr. Ralph
Couey, minister of the 4th Avenue
Baptist Church, will be the speak-er
and his subjects will be: Mon-day
February 19—“Knowledge of
One’s Self as a Christian”; Tues-day—“
Knowledge of the Bible
Today”; and Wednesday—“Kno-wledge
of Men Today and Their
Problems”. This will be an ex-cellent
chance for students to get
a clearer idea of themselves as
members of society and the rela-tionship
and importance o f
religion as a great molding factor.
Everyone is invited and urged
Cardinal Hears
Prom Rumor
Rumor on the campus has
it that Easter Monday,
March 25, will see the occa-sion
of a Junior Prom re-splendent
with a big name
band and all the trimmings.
Official announcements re-garding
this rumor is ex-pected
to be made in the
near future. If true, it will
be a big event.
y. M. 'Join'
Drive, To End
With Banquet
Closing a two weeks member-ship
drive, the Y. M. C. A. club
will hold a Banquet on Tuesday
evening, 6 P. M. at the Y. All
members of the organization are
invited.
The newly formed club has al-ready
prepared quite a varied
program. Recreation is provided
each Tuesday at the Y. M. C. A.
in the way of sports, swimming,
badminton, etc. Participation in
intra-mural activities on the cam-pus
is being planned.
Aside from recreational pro-gram
is the sponsoring of a Bible
class to be taught by Dr. 801
every Friday.
Anyone interested in becoming
a member of the organization can
secure an entry blank from any
of the members, or by seeing
Maurice Kornhorst, chairman. Dr.
Walter Lee Moore is the faculty
advisor.

of American Jurisprurence to five

Co-eds Given Free Hand
It’s Leap Year and the proposals are already flying fast, so the
Student Council gives all the co-eds a nite with the free hand (no
strings attached), next Wednesday, February 21, at its Leap Year
Dance at the Gym. So hook your man and hook him quick or who
knows, you may have to wait four more years. And come prepared
to do all the honors (cash included). Corsages would be recomend-ed
to weaken his resistance, especially the eatable type (you know—-
the shortest road to a man’s heart).
And gals, this golden opportunity is all yours for the measely
pittance of 75c, couple or stag—only you get double your money’s
worth when it’s couple.
Get it straight now. This Wednesday nite—at the Gym—you
bring him for a change.
Promising
Recent play of Andrews, 5 ft. 10 inch
sophomore forward, lends credence to
the hopes of a belter showing next
season. His aggressiveness and team-work
have marked him as a "comer."
Cards Close Home Season
With 16 Straight Reverses
In a sorry exhibition, the color-less
Cardinal cagers concluded
their 1939-1940 home stand by
dropping their sixteenth straight
tussle to Transylvania by 40 to 32,
despite outscoring the Pioneers
22 to 18 in the last half.
The boys from Lexington, play-ing
a none to creditable game
themselves, managed to tab eleven
points before the Cards could sink
even as much as a point. The half-time
score was 22-10.
Stephenson of the visitors was
top scorer with 9 points and Cup
Weber was right behind him with
8. Summers and Frazier both
sunk 5 for U. of L. As usual,
Coach Apitz subsituted freely
throughout the game.
The season gives promise of
being one of the most disasterous
in Cardinal cage history. Last
year, the Birds pulled through
with only one victory. They
journey to Georgetown this Satur-day
to play the Tigers in the last
game of the regular season. Num-ber
17 is expected to be chalked
up.
In a preliminary game John
Heldman’s Baby Birds weretum-ed
back by a skillful Glenndale
High School quint by a 34 to 26
count.
The Cardinal box score:
PLAYER G. F. T.P.
Weber 3 2 8
Slater 0 0 0
King 0 2 2
Summers 2 1 5
Horine 1 0 2
Frazier 2 1 5
Andrews 1 0 2
Rooney 1 0 2
Creamer 1 1 3

Plans are near completion for
the holding of the first annual
Ephram McDowell Lectureship,
so called in honor cf the Kentucky
doctor who through his work

Hospital.
Puppet Class Set
A class in puppet-making, to be
taught at the Art Center by Miss
Frances Hansbrough, is now be-ing
formed. The class which is
to meet from 10 to 12 on Wednes-day
mornings, will last for five
weeks with a tuition of five
dollars. Materials for the puppets
will be furnished by the Art
Center, and the choice of the
puppet which each person will
construct is up to the individual,
to attend.
