Med Portraits
Depict Growth
of Anatomy
In preparation for the coming
American Association of Anato-mists
Convention to be held here
in the near future, with the Medi-cal
School as host, one hundred
new portraits of prominent anato-mists
with a biographical note of
each have been placed in the halls
of the Medical School. These pic-tures
form a biographical history
of the development of anatomy
from the earliest times—Egyptian,
Greek, Roman, Arabic, medieval,
and modern European and Ameri-can
schools are represented. The
department is just completing this
series, which they feel will con-stitute
a distinct addition to their
equipment.
Meet March 20-22
The Anatomists will meet
March 20-22 at the Brown Hotel
and the Medical School. President
Raymond A. Kent, Medical Dean
John Walker Moore, and Dr. Irvin
Abell, professor of surgery, are
scheduled speakers. Dr. S. I.
Komhauser is chairman of the
local committee.
At a recent meeting of The
Jefferson County Medical Society,
Dr. A. W. Homberger, Professor
and Head of the Department of
Chemistery, initiated a series of
lectures on vitamins. The title of
his first lecture was, “Newer
Knowledge of Vitamins”. Dr.
Homberger is nationally known
for his work on vitamins and
diet.

The Student Committee on

last week the Beta Tau Chi
Fraternity, the Gamma Rh o
sorority, the University of Louis-ville
Publicity League (pending
60 days existence), and the
Y. M. C. A. club.
Each of the organizations has
submitted a constitution, and a

Knighton Talks
At the Medical Science Seminar
of February 23, Dr. H. T. Knigh-ton,
assistant Professor of Bac-teriology,
spoke on “The Evalua-tion
of Antiseptics and Germi-cides”
and described his experi-ments
on the genus Fusiformis.
Announcement
Soon On Prom
Plans for a Junior Prom are
rapidly materializing and an of-ficial
announcement will prob-ably
be ready next week, Milton
Cantor, member of the Liberal
Arts Student Council and chair-man
of the L. A. Prom com-mittee,
said today.
Contrary to rumors circu-lating,
the Prom is not scheduled
for March 27. The date was con-sidered,
but it was pronounced
too close to the Speed Engineers
Ball.
Band Vote,
Still Afire,
Elects Chope
By Mary Becker
As it must to all organizations,
strife—and the inevitable Pro-gressive
Party—has come to the
U. of L. Band.
Roy Chope, a firm addict of the
spoils system, organized the all-
Frosh Progressives which backed
Roy Chope for band president;
Jack Kline, vice-president; John
McCarty, secretary; Floyd Baily,
keeper of the treasury that isn’t;
and Leonard Bates and Viola
Fendly, publicity.
The mud slung by the Progres-sive
Party during the campaign-ing
splashed charges of “Aristo-crats”
and “Dictators” and pack-ed
the track for their clean slide
in last week’s election.
Nearly all enthusiasts battling
under the banner of a flat-head-ed
eagle were voted into office.
There was a slip somewhere, how-ever,
as Arch Cole and Roy Chope
tied for the prexyship. The run-off
Tuesday in which Chope led
his opponent by 12 votes may be
declared illegal.
Consequently, Chope rumors
there is a rat in Mr. Ernest Lyon’s
socks.
The objectives of the new toot-ers
include: drawing up a con-stitution
to be approved by
popular vote and Mr. Lyon; ap-pointing
the activities committee
and ministers of propoganda; and
beginning a treasury that will
boast a nest-egg, not a goose-egg.
Talent scouts will peer over their
specs at all performing hopefuls
in the high schools who may bet-ter
the U. of L. Band.
“By the time we’re through
with the it,” warned Roy Chope,
“the Band will be completely
changed.”
Oh, joy ! Oh, bliss !
Wanted: Any Ole Talent
BY AL. KERSHAW
The University of Louisville Players will sponser a convocation,
April 4, which will resemble an old fashion vaudeville show.
In order to get the best talent on the campus, students who
feel they are talented as dancers, singers, magicians, tumblers, or
in general, anything else, are urged to come over to the Playhouse
on Thursday, March 7, at 12:30, when try-outs will be held under the
direction of Boyd Martin. (Any talented in basketball are urged to
see Laurie Apitz at first convenience).
This will be the first convocation of a vaudeville type held
here in recent years and it is the wish of the University of Louis-ville
Players that students will give hearty response in making the
production a prize one. Who knows, you may get a shot at Major
Bowes’ program. Or, better still, you may get a shot at Major Bowes.
Speaker
DR. JOHN R. BRODERIUS
Dr. Broderius
To Open
U-L Lectures
The University of Louisville
will sponser a fortnightly lecture
series, to be held on Tuesdays in
the Allen Court Room of the
new Law School, beginning next
Tuesday, March 5.
Dr. John Broderius will inaug-urate
the series with a lecture en-titled,
“Scandinavia on the
Skids?”. By extensive travels in
the Scandinavian countries, and
through a deep study of their
language and culture, he has ac-quired
original and penetrating
insights which should be of vital
interest to everyone concerned
with the fast moving contempor-ary
affairs.
The second lecture by Dr.
Charles F. Virtue on “Ethics in a
confused world”, is scheduled
March 19. Dr. Virtue, whose
career has run all the way from
a foreman in a brass foundry to
a teacher of comparative religions
at Robert College in Stamboul,
Turkey, will not only give a very
comprehensive survey, but will
also philosophize along the way.
Speed Dean Speaks
Dean Ford L. Wilkinson, Jr.,
dean of the Speed School will
talk on “Submarine Warfare” on
April 2 in the third of the series.
Dean Wilkinson, himself a gradu-ate
of Annapolis, was a naval
officer for 16 years. He spent six
years in the submarine service
and commanded U. S. Subs O-l,
and S-18.
The last of the series, a lecture
on “The Criminal Lingo” by Dr.
David Maurer, will be held April
16. Dr. Maurer, who has long
been a student of the underworld
life and language, will soon pub-lish
a book on the fascinating but
little understood influence of this
subject on our own life and
language. He not only studies the
lingo, he speaks it. Which he
will.
The entire series is open to the
public. Admission to the lectures,
however, is by ticket only. Per-sons
interested may obtain tickets
by writing, telephoning, or com-ing
in person to the President’s
office in the Administration
Building on Belknap Campus.
Defense Wins Decision In First
Trial In New Moot Court Room
The walls of the new Allen
Memorial Court Room rang for
the first time to the Oyez of the
bailiff and the rap of the gavel,
as the U. of L. Law School launch-ed
the first of its spring series
of Moot Court Trials Wednesday
night, as defense counsel Robert
L. Leopold, August Winkenhofer,
Jr., and Jordan Antle obtained a
decision in their favor on an issue
in equity.
Judge Lafon Allen, presiding,
ruled against the plaintiffs, rep-resented
by Lucien Johnson,
George R. Effinger and Charles
B. Zirkle.
Question Presented
The question of law presented:
What fact will give rise to a pre-sumption
of death from unex-plained
absence, and what are
the consequences of that presump-tion?
The issue arose from the
facts of two actual cases argued
before Judge Allen in 1922 in his
capacity as Chancellor of the Jef-ferson
County Circuit Court,
Chancery Division.
For the first time in several
years the prior decision was with-held
from the Moot Court counsel,
and resulted in considerable
speculation on the outcome of the
trial. The counsel was composed
of six seniors.
It was fitting that Judge Allen
should preside in the first trial
in the Allen Court Room, dedicat-ed
to the memory of his late
father. Judge Allen retired in
1933 to private practice.
The Moot Court will be held
March 12.
