Old Kentucky Home
Louisvillians forsook their own
city in choosing the seventeen
most interesting places in Ken-tucky.
In a poll conducted among
U. of L. students, My Old Ken-tucky
Home was rated as most
interesting with Mammoth Cave
National Park and the Lexington
Horse Farms coming as runners-up.
There was little noticeable
preference as to the type of place
chosen. However nature spots
had a slight edge on places of
historical interest. Louisvillians
showed home interest when some
fifty people added Churchill
Downs to their list. The Univer-sity
too came in for a share of the
votes.
Women’s Union Elects
Announcing an unconventional
procedure for small organizations
elections, the Independent Wo-men’s
Union reveals that choice
of new officers for the group will
be made by an all-day contest,
next Thursday, April 24 in the
Women’s Building. Members of
the group were convinced that a
quorum would be practically im-possible
if members were re-quired
to meet in a group at any
set hour during the day. This led
to their decision to post a ballot
box in a prominent section of
the Women’s Building, with a
member on duty to check voters
at any time. I
Greeks Ready
For Songfest
On Wednesday
The Greeks will again raise
their voices in song for the annual
Agnes Moore Fryberger Memor-ial
Sing this Wednesday night at
8 o’clock. Scene of the festival
will be the Ad Building front
steps ' with the Chi O’s, Inde-pendent
Women’s Union, Card-inalettes,
Pi Phi’s, K. D.’s, K. A.,
Sigma Chi Sigma, Theta Tau,
Triangle, Sigma Kappa, Alpha
Zeta and Delta Zeta creating the
sound waves.
Entrees for the songfest will be
accepted through Monday. Each
organization will follow the cus-tomary
procedure for the pro-gram
and present two songs,
their own theme and a selected
number. The songs being prac-ticed
should be registered with
the Dean of Women to avoid any
duplication of numbers; the first
registrant of any duplications
will be entitled to use the piece.
The initiative behind the Sing
is the College of Cardinals who
will award a handsome loving
cup to the organization with the
most tuneful lungs. The Sing was
resumed last year after a three
years lapse since its inauguration
in 1938.
Mrs. Fryberger, nationally
known as a teacher and educator,
retired from the University the
year of the last sing, 1938, and
died in Minneapolis the following
September. She taught at U.ofL.
for eight years and in addition
headed several summer sessions
at the Eastman School of Music
in Rochester. Between 1924 and
1930 she was affiliated with the
Minneapolis and St. Louis Sym-phony
Orchestras in the capacity
of educational director. Previous
to that Mrs. Fryberger acted as
assistant supervisor of music for
the Minneapolis Public Schools
and held simultaneous positions
as instructor at the McPhail
Music School and professor of
music appreciation at the Uni-versity
of Minnesota.-
Speed King Election Exposed As Joke
The ghost of old political queen
elections reared its head last
week when a deal for a queen
was tacked onto the plan for a
king of the Engineers’ Ball.
Previously, certain of the Speed
School Student Council bigwigs
had admitted that the king plan
was a foil to get a queen past
Panhellenic censorship, while the
candidates for king accepted the
whole election as the joke it was.
In spite of the drawing card the
council hoped the election would
be, the dance came out on the
red side of the books to the ex-tent
of over twenty dollars.
Successful candidate John Mc-
Clain, backed by Theta Tau,
carried with him into the court
of honor Sigma Kappa’s Jean
Hesser. Twenty-three votes
separated him from the closest
runner up, Jack Coardy, who had
91 votes while McClain carried
114. A last minute combine on
Thursday night of Triangle and
Kappa Alpha, in self-protection
against the powerful Sigma Kap-pa-
Circle T combine, threw their
votes over to Independent Jack
Coadv.
The tactics of former Engineers
Balls were revived when the Sig-ma
Kappa made each of their
girls sell two tickets with Mc-
Clains name marked on the back,
and several packets of marked
stubs were turned in at the door
by one of their members.
The daily distribution of a
mimeographed sheet by the stu-dent
council but written by a
Theta Tau and plugging their
candidate at the expense of
others, quoting fictitious odds on
the candidates, giving their’s the
best odds till the last day when
they tied him, brought expres-sions
of disgust and amusement
and accusations of unfair play
from the student body.
Another “hustle” was foisted
on the student body when Stu-dent
Council president Ji m
Thornton and side-kick Jack
Davis proclaimed an election of
the band for the Ball by the stu-dent
body. From inside contacts,
however. Cardinal discovered

FischerSeeks
Opera Try
Seeking admission to the Berk-shire
Music Festival in the opera
department, Robert Fischer, U.
of L. music school student, left
Monday for Philadelphia to audi-tion
before Dr. Hubert Grof of
the Metropolitan opera company.
He auditioned this past Satur-day
before Godowsky in Cleve-land,
who recommended him for
the Berkshire tryouts. A part in
the Berkshire Summer Music
Festival may lead to member-ship
in the Metropolitan.
Bob Fischer is twenty-one and
a member of Delta Alpha music
fraternity. Boasting a baritone
voice, he has studied under
Madame Sapin and Mrs. Selma
Howlet of Louisville. At present
he is a private student of
Fletcher Smith, University of
Louisville.

Speed Host To Informal Stamp Stomp Monday;
Proceeds To Go To University War Memorial Fund
By MARY HOAGLAND
Enactment: Another Stamp
Stomp
Date: Monday, April 20
Time: 3 til 5
Place: The new Speed School
Library
Admission: One 10c defense
stamp
Statement: Be there!
That’s the whole story in brief,
but just for fun we’ll go on tell-ing
you little bits of knowledge
which may help to influence you
to come. In the first place, this
stomp is being given solely for
your benefit. The general idea is
to get just as many of you there
as can comfortably step inside
the door. (The door, by the way,
is located at the left wing on the
second floor of Speed—in other
words, the library. We’d go to
most any means to see that you
don’t get lost on the way.) After
all, for each individual that so
much as looks as if he wants to
enter the semi-sacred portals, the
War Memorial Fund will receive
one defense stamp. Although
we’re not planning on getting
rich, we do plan to get enough
dime stamps so that we can buy
several U. S. bonds which will
enable us in the future to have
an additional building or some
other something which we will
no doubt need desperately. So all
in all you, as students, will be
benefiting, certainly no one else.
The primary purpose then is for
entertainment, the secondary ob-jective
is to collect funds for the
War Memorial. Get it?
Now for building up the angle
of amusement. The reason Dean
Threlkeld, the faculty, and cam-pus
leaders are so intent on mak-ing
a success of this thing is be-cause
they’re trying to build up
school spirit and enthusiasm.
Frankly, this campus is either
“dead or in the process of dying.”
The leaders are doing their part,
they’ve been giving student
council dances of all types but
still it doesn’t seem that you all
are cooperating. What on earth
do you do on week-ends? Tell us,
does Louisville offer better en-tertainment
than a U. of L. Stu-dent
Council Dance? We doubt it,
and this little bit of preaching
goes mostly to the independents
cause it’s mostly you who don’t
quite get around to attending
campus activities. So, for good-ness
sakes, won’t you (fraternities
and sororities included) please
come to the Stamp Stomp, Mon-day.
You can certainly spare a
dime and we think you’ll have
lots of fun. Informality is the key
note; dates are out of order and
breaking by both sexes is strictly
okeh, which means that even the
homliest of us gals can ’operate’.
So now won’t you please get
some school spirit and for once
in your life come to a Stamp
Stomp? We can hardly wait to
see your beaming faces.
