Frosh Mixer
Set Saturday
Here it comes, folks—the grand
opening of the year’s crop of
swing fests that traditional
Frosh Mixer Dance with music
the way you like it by Maestro
Jimmy Skaggs and his orchestra.
It’s a double feature—you’ll have
your sweet and swing and the
extra-special chance to meet the
current crop of campus sillies. So
make hay while the sun shines
before s ne one else beats you to
the lil’ ( uties (an’ don’t forget the
saga ab ut Mr. Early Bird).
Now \ this opportunity is
yours tonight at the Gym, and
Student Council prexy Milton
Cantor has handed out the dope,
to quote, that “arrangements have
been made for a record crowd—-
it’s going to be one of the year’s
biggest—should start everything
off with a bang.” It’s a bargain,
too—only 75c, couple or stag, for
an evening of dancing (from 9 to 1
to be exact). So be there!

Asks Students
Not To Quit
In a letter to Federal Security
Administrator Paul V. McNutt,
President Roosevelt advised col-lege
students that it is by far their
patriotic duty to continue their
education rather than to enlist in
the army or navy.
Mr. Roosevelt said that it had
been brought to his attention that
many collegians or potential col-legians
were abandoning plans
for their further education to seek
wr hat they considered patriotic
duty.
“Such a decision would be un-fortunate,”
Mr. Roosevelt said.
“We must have well-educated and
intelligent citizens who have
sound judgment in dealing with
the difficult problems of today.
“We must also have scientists,
engineers, economists, and other
people with specialized knowl-edge
to plan and to build for na-tional
defense as well as for social
and economic progress.
“Young people should be ad-vised
that it is their patriotic
duty to continue the normal
course of their education, unless
and until they are called, so that
they will be well prepared for
greatest usefulness to their coun-try.
They will be promptly noti-fied
if they are needed for other
patriotic services.”
Dr. Kent Calls
For Honesty
And Courage
Welcoming the freshmen to U.
of L. in an address Monday, Presi-dent
Raymond Kent urged stu-dents
to think for themselves and
not be influenced by so-called
comprehensive polls and condi-tioning
forces at work in America
today. He suggested less extensive
program, and a more thorough
study, correlating ancient knowl-edge
with present problems. He
termed mental stupidity as the
effect of over indulgence.
Quoting Lord Bryce, Dr. Kent
said our key words should be
honesty and courage: a honest
electorate and honest public serv-ants;
and courage, not in a mili-tary
sense, but rather a stand for
convictions.
Dean J. J. Oppenheimer pre-sented
the Woodcock scholastic
awards for last year to Sally
Sandidge, freshman; Fred Cauf-man.
Sophomore; and Jane
Davidson, Junior.
Lawyers Offer
Briefing Aid
The Briefing Service of the
University of Louisville School of
Law is being continued during the
school year 1940-41, under the
supervision of J. Linwood Kenner.
This Staff has completed six suc-cessful
years of service to mem-bers
of the Kentucky bar in the
investigation of difficult points of
law.
All lawyers throughout the
state are invited to submit to the
Briefing Service Staff any ques-tion
upon which they are unable,
because of limited library facil-ities
or for other reasons, to find
the law surrounding the subject.
The staff returns to the lawyer,
without charge, a complete brief
of authorities on each question
submitted.
The Briefing Service plan
places the School of Law Library
of 19,000 volumes, in which is
contained practically every re-ported
English and American de-cision,
as well as the leading texts
and treatises on the law, and the
statutes of over one-half of the
states, at the service of all Ken-tucky
lawyers.
Speed’s Pyramid
Joins Triangles,
Goes National
Speed School’s Pyramid frater-nity
has received notice that it
has been accepted as the seven-teenth
chapter of the Triangles, a
national fraternity originally
founded at the University of Illi-nois
in 1906 as a civil engineering
fraternity, President Jimmy Cau-field
announced.
Several chapters were added
under the original arrangement
and a few years later, by a vote
of the national conclave, the con-stitution
was amended to admit
members in all branches of engi-neering.
Pyramid was established in
1926 by a group of Speed School
students in the interest of further-ing
professional development of
engineering. The group has been
very active on the U. of L. campus
for several years in both social
and scholastic activities.
Army Man Here
Captain Harry W. McGee of the
United States Army Air Corps
will be on Belknap Campus today
to meet students interested in the
air corps. He will be at Gardiner
102 at 12:30 and is particularly in-terested
in meeting Seniors and
Juniors.
Liberal Arts’
Dr. J. Bradley
Students, faculty and ad-ministrative
officials of the
University of Louisville
were deeply moved by the
sudden death of Dr. J.
Bradley last June. For many
years associate professor of
English in the Liberal Arts
college, Dr. Bradley’s loss is
irreplaceable.
Cantor Walkout Halts
L. A. Council Election
A dramatic “walk-out” by L. A.
Student Council temporary presi-dent
Milton Cantor and several
followers climaxed and broke up
the opening council meeting of
the year last Monday while the
election of permanent officers
was in progress. The walk, pre-ceded
by vociferous arguing and
quibbling between Cantor and
Maurice Tennenbaum, brought an
abrupt end to the meeting.
Another meeting will be held
next Monday, Cantor announced
following the “walk-out.” Dr. K.
P. Vinsel will act as parliamen-tarian.
During the meeting Cantor and
Tennenbaum debated the correct
parlmentary procedure with per-sonal
insinuations coloring the
controversy. A resolution was in-troduced
by Leonard Jones, sen-ior,
to make terriporary officers
permanent. It was appealed by
Tennenbaum as unconstitutional.
Jones withdrew the resolution
and immediately reintroduced it
amid confusion. A vote was taken
and the proposal defeated by 6 to
5, after several miscounts and a
lack of understanding of the reso-lution.
Stacy Hall Objects
In the election for permanent
chairman Cantor made Jones
chairman pro tempore. Ray Heer,
junior, was nominated. Stacy
Hall, referring to Tennenbaum’s
verbal attacks on Cantor, lament-ed
the former’s lack of respect for
the chair. Tennenbaum replied:
“You can’t have respect for the
chair unless the chair carries with
it some ability.”
Cantor immediately rose and
walked out of the room saying, “I
refuse to remain in the same room
with Mr. Tennenbaum.” Stacy
Hall and Helen Jennings also
walked out. Jones then declared
the meeting adjourned. Despite
several vigorous protests the
meeting broke up.
Cantor Non-committal
Asked if he had anything to
make a statement for the press,
Cantor replied that he had
nothing to say.
Tennenbaum’s statement read
