Moot Court Verdict
The second Moot Trial of the
semester was held Tuesday night
in the Allen Court Room, with
Judge Churchill Humphrey rul-ing
that a local barber, represent-ed
by Dale Major and Wm. A.
Stephenson, had just cause to
question the constitutionality of
an ordinance which attempted to
regulate the opening and closing
hours of barber shops in the city
of Louisville.
The city, represented by B.
Hudson Milner and Henry B.
Mann, argued that the regulation
was a reasonable exercise of the
municipal authority in the in-terest
of the public.
The identical question is now
pending before the Court of Ap-peals
of Kentucky in the case of
Elwood Kuhn vs. the City of
Louisville.
The third moot court session
will be held Tuesday, March 26.
Engineer's Ball,
Scheduled April 4,
Hires Jimmy James
Speed’s traditional Engineer’s
Ball will be held April 4th at the
Casa Madrid, Carey Evans, Ball
chairman, announced today. The
tenth annual Engineer’s Day is
scheduled for April 12th.
Music by Jimmy James and
his orchestra and election of the
Queen of the Engineers will high-light
the evening’s preceedings.
James’ well-known band has re-cently
completed a stand at the
famous Netherland Plaza Hotel
in Cincinnati, from which spot
they broadcast over a nation-wide
hook-up.
Election of the Queen is regu-lated
by the following provisions:
(1) Candidaies must be nomin-ated
by a petition signed by fif-teen
(15) Speed School students.
(2) The queen will be elected
by secret ballot prior to the Ball
by the registered students of
Speed Scientific School.
The lucky candidate will be
announced during the Ball, where
she will be duly honored and
crowned.
She also presides over the
activities of Engineer’s Day on
April 12th.
In addition to the Engineer’s
Ball, Speed School will issue its
sixth annual supplement to the
Cardinal on April 10th. Two days
later comes Engineer’s Day when
Speed School throws open its
doors to the general public and
puts on one big exhibition for
the purpose of acquainting the
public with its work. Displays
are set up and equipment of the
school demonstrated by the stu-dents.

The lecture, “Ethics in a Confused
World”, by Dr. Virtue, whose career has

religions at Robert College in
Stamboul, Turkey, is one which should
be of vital interest to everyone con-cerned
with the jumbled patterns of
modern life.

Famed Peace
Advocate Speaks
On Campus Today
Miss Jeannette Rankin, lead-ing
Washington authority on
peace-war issues, will address
members of the Social Science
surveys—and all others who wish
to attend—at 11:30, March 15th,
in the Playhouse. Her subject,
“Debunking War Propaganda.”
Over WAVE at 6:30 the same
day, Miss Rankin will discuss
“How Public Opinion Can Pro-mote
Peace”. And at 8:15 that
night, she is to speak to a free
and open meeting at the Cresent
Hill Woman’s Club on “Can Con-gress
Keep Us Out of War ?”.
Miss Rankin was the first
woman member of Congress. A
leader in the woman’s suffrage
campaign, she was elected to Con-gress
in 1916 from her native
state of Montana.
When the resolution declaring
war on Germany came before the
House in 1917, she cast her first
vote, against it.
With the late Jane Addams,
Miss Rankin attended a con-ference
of the Women’s Inter-national
League, in Zurlich. This
was the first international gath-ering
after the war and was held
concurrently with the Allies’
peace negotiations.
Miss Jeanette Rankin was ac-tive
in organizing the Georgia
Peace Society. She is a member
of the staff of the National
Council for Prevention of War
and directs the Council’s legis-lative
activities during sessions
of Congress. She is also a mem-ber
of the famous “Peace Lobby.”
U-L Loss Great In
Woodcock Death
Students and faculty of the Uni-versity
were deeply grieved upon
learning of the death of U. of L.
benefactor, Bishop Charles E.
Woodcock, who died early
Wednesday morning of a heart
attack.
Bishop Woodcock was noted
primarily for his work in the
formation of the U. of L. Wood-cock
honor society. Through this
he expected to give due recogni-tion
to honor graduates. Each
year prominent students are
elected on the basis of scholar-ship,
leadership, loyality and
initative.
U. of L. officials as one felt
that his death was a loss that
will be deeply felt.
