"Quiet Wedding"
Needs Actors
Under Thirty
Flashi»g across the . Atlantic
from London last summer, came
a cablegram to "Pop" Martin,
whose recent production, "Jason,"
just herded 351 University stu­dents
to the boxoffice, requesting
him to write a book on the Amer­ican
drama. Pop accepted the
offer of the Pilot Press of London,
and is now reportedly beginning
research on the work, which is
slated to be published in April,
1943.
The Current Theater and Film
class is due for a considerable
blowout if nothing happens to
torpedo Pop's ship before it
comes in, for the gleeful prof
rashly promised the group a
party on some of the proceeds.
Pop says that he has also decided
to devote a third of the book
toward the advancement of the
work of the Community Theaters.
Meanwhile Mr. Martin is walk­ing
around U. of L. hiding behind
all,r--expansive smile, for 351 out
of 714 · students turned out for
"Jason" last week. Encouraged by
this student interest, Pop is again
urging dramatically-minded stu­dents
to come around for the try­outs
Monday night. The next pro­duction,
"Quiet Wedding," ac­cording
to Pop, affords a host of
parts for young characters, both
girls and boys.
F. R. M. Make Plea
For More "Friends"
To Boost Disc Hoard
Classical discs have been roll­ing
in from all directions and
added to the U. of L. Music Li­brary
by the Friends of Recorded
Music. This organization needs
the support of at least fifty more
new members in order that the
continuation of concerts of re­corded
music and growth of our
record collection is to be main­tained.
In order to add more records to
their "shelves", the Library de­pends
upon the contribution it
receives from its members- just
50 cents per semester or one dol­lar
per year is all it takes to keep
'em spinning. So those who think
that the cultural activities ought
to go on should join the Friends
of Recorded Music now.
The second meeting of the
season will be h e 1 d today,
Nov. 6, at 3:30 and at 8:00 p.m. in
the Music Library in the School
of Music Bldg.
They have arranged a very en­joyable
program of sixt,y m ·nutes
of appreciative music.
The first selection on the pro­gram
will be J. S. Bach's Bran­denburg
Concerto No. IV in G
major for solo violin, 2 flutes, and
string orchestra. It is played by
the Busch Chamber Players.
The next number will be Igor
Stravinsky's Pulcinella, which
was composed in 1920. Stravinsky
-::onducts a Paris Chamber Or­chestra.
The last number is the newly
released Brahms Trio No. 1 in B
major, (Op. 8) played by Artur
Rubinstein, piano; Jascha Heifetz,
violin; and Emanuel Feuermann,
cello.
If it is impossible for you to at­tend
this meeting, the next con­cert
will be in two weeks, on
Nov. 20 at 3:30 and 8:00 p.m.
UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE'S CARDINAL /
VOL. XI -----LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1942·----- NO. 10
Coup d'Etat, Big Vote Give Co-C ornbine
Decisive Sweep In Arts Class Elections
Lexington Meeting
Foresees Scientific
Future For Women
After a busy week at the Uni
versity, Louisville's own Dean
Threlkeld journeyed to Lexing­ton,
Ky. over the weekend of Oct.
30-31, for a meeting of the Ken­tucky
Assn. of Deans of Women.
Miss Threlkeld acted as chairman
and led the g_eneral discussion on
the part women will' play after
college.
It was noted that few employ­ers
are aware of how soon the
demand for women workers in
industry, business, and defense
activities is coming, and thus
they are doing little to train
groups of women to take over the
positions which are being vacated
by the men. College women who
are not academically minded are
being urged to enter shorter
training courses which will pre­pare
them for certain fields. The
better students, while working
towards a degree, are being
counseled to obtain some type of
skill which will contribute to the
war effort.
A large number of college wo­men
feel that the curriculum
which h3s been offered them
fails to prepare them for meet­ing
their personal, social and eco­nomic
problems, and for partici­pating
in community activities
after graduation.
To meet these needs, it was
suggested that there be better
guidance in college with curricu­la
definitely designed to meet
more adequately the needs of wo­men.
Fields where college women
will be of most use are social
work, n u r s i n g, engineering,
chemistry, rasfio, drafting, weld­ing,
and office work.
The organized combines made
a clean sweep of the class elec­tions
held Wednesday, with the
Independents pulling t h e i r
strongest ballot ever and afford­ing
some formidable competition
only in the senior class voting. It
was officially estimated that a
larger number of students cast
ballots than ever before, accord­ing
to the election commission.
The voting was generally fea­tured
by a "combining of the
combines" which accoutns for
the unusualy strong showing of
that group in the three· lower
classes. In most cases the margb
of victory for the combines was
about double the number of in­dependent
votes.
In the Freshman, Sophomore
and Junior class voting there was
never any doubt, during the
counting, as to the outcome, for
the candidates of the organized
combines took the lead almost
immediately, and at no time was
the tabulation close. It was an­other
story, however in the Sen­ior
class voting. The outcome
here was never certain until very
near the end of the counting, and
those who witnessed the comput­ing
were held in suspense
throughout.
Freshman president is Olin
Fishback; sophomore, Lee Tarp­ley;
junior, Tom Crecilius; and
senior, Robert Kinker. Vice
presidents are Freshman, Ester
Gardner; sophomore, Herbert
Segal; junior, Edyth Lepping;
and senior, Virginia Powell.
In the Freshman class there
were 204 votes cast out of a pos­sible
325. The Sophs went to the
polls 154 times out of a possible
205, while the Juniors, 85 out of
120. Of 85 Seniors, 55 voted,
which on the whole, is an all time
record vote.
The election commission, which
supervised the proceedings was
appointed by the L. A. Student

Campus Council Constitution
Awaits ''Finishing Touches''
By JOE RUBIN
Final drafting of the constitu­tion
for an All-Campus Council is
scheduled to be completed after
one more meeting with President
Kent. A meeting of the represen­tatives
of the various schools was
held last Tuesday afternoon from
4:30 to 6:00 in the office of Dr.
Vinsel. The constitution is vir­tually
completed and it is plan­ned
to submit it to the various
student bodies for ratification
within the next few weeks.
It was pointed out that the U.
of L. is practically the only Uni­versity
of this type that does not
have an organization analogous
to an 'all-campus council. It is
recognized as a truism that more
student activities and a more en­thusiastic
school spirit would be
fostered by such a council. It is
an entirely positive proposition,
by which no school would lose
anything and would tend to unify
ati.d integrate the activities and
programs of the various schools.
It has been demonstrated by the
Inter-Religious Council that a
centralized body tends to pro­mote
more interest in student ac­tivities
than separate organiza­tions.
The purpose of the student gov­ernment
shall be, according to
the original draft of the constitu­tion,
to further the general wel­fare
of all students in the Univer­sity,
to regulate the affairs com­mon
to the students of the Uni­versity,
and to establish a Council
which shall be the official repre­sentative
of the students of the
University.
Members of the council will be
elected by the Hare System of
proportional r e p r e s e n t a tion,
which involves first, second and
third choices. A three-fourths
vote of the members of the Coun­cil
will be required for the ex­pulsion
of a member. A quorum
will consist of two-thirds of the
elected members. The Cardinal
plans to publish the Constitution
in its entirety in the next issue.
A majority vote of three of the
four colleges is required for rati­fication
of the Constitution. Those
attending the meeting were Carl
Merrit, Speed School, Ted Sheets,
L. A., George Howard, L a w
School, and Courtney Thompson,
Music School. Bob Burns and
Dave Pouchot of Speed also at­tended.
Art Instructor Purdy
Will Display Paintings
In Library Rotunda
On exhibit during the month
of November in the rotunda of
the library will be a group of
nine water color paintings by
Robert C. Purdy of the Art
Center faculty. Mr. Purdy's work
has been noteworthy locally as
well as in New York where he re­cently
showed some of his paint­ings.
He is a graduate of the Art
Center and received a scholarship
to the John Herron Art Institute
in Indianapolis.
The prints on display currently
in the Reserve Reading room of
the library and in the Alumni
room have been lent to the
university by Mr. Morris Bel­knap,
Dr. Justin Bier of the Art
Department said.
Dr. Bier also announced plans
for the purchase of a number of
fine prints which have heretofore
been unavailable to the depart­ment
because of their high price.
The production of these prints
which has formerly been exclus­ively
a European process has re­cently
been taken over in this
country by a group of refugee
immigrants. It requires highly
skilled hand re-touching, as yet
unmastered by Americans for
practical purposes. Several man­ufacturers
have taken over the
production at a price which, for
the first time makes them avail­able
for nominal sums, and the
university will shortly place an
order for several of the series.

Cardinal Eds Away
Cardinal will be free of the in­fluence
of its editor, managing
editor, and news editor till next
week when all three return from
the Associated Collegiate Press
Convention in Chicago. In addi­tion
to the business of journalism,
rumor has it that social life has
not been non-existent at past
conventions, but more about that
when Cardinal eds return.
Kent Explains
U-L Facilities
For Reservists
With the imminent dr afting of
eighteen and nineteen year old
men, plans for the utilization of
the resources of the various col­leges
and universities in training
these men for military duty have
been proposed and are now under
consideration by the war author­ities.
Such a plan was explained by
President Kent at a meeting
Tuesday for all 18 and 19 year
men enrolled in the University
of Louisvile.
Under the plan, proposed by the
American Council on Education,
U. of L. might serve as one of
the centers for training highly
qualified young men as prospec­tive
specialists and officers.
Screen Tests Given
If this proposal is accepted, any
seventeen year old male graduate
of high school may apply for ac­ceptance
in one of the branches
of the Enlisted Training Corps.
If accepted by the Army. for ex­ample,
the candidate will under­go
a period of thirteen weeks
basic training and then, upon
passing a nation-wide "screen­ing"
test he may be enrolled in
any university, college, or junior
college which is approved as a
training center.
While at the school of his own
choice, the candidate will under­go
specialized training and gen­eral
officer training of a standard
approved by the military author­ities.
Those enlisted will pursue a
year-round curricula and upon
completion of this basic training
they may be assigned to further
professional or specialized train­ing.
And Salary Too
While the candidate is under­going
training he shall receive
the base pay accorded his rank
plus a subsistence allowance.
Dr. Kent emphasized that,
under this plan, U. of L. would
under no circumstances be turned
into a military institution. Al­though
the candidates would be
under the jurisdiction of military
authorities, he would receive no
professional training as a military
man such as is offered at West
Point or Annapolis.
' With continuous c h an g e s
being made," President Kent ex­plained,
"these plans will prob
ably be changed greatly! '
U. L Band Carries On
Despite War Losses
Screwball Concert On
Despite a serious shortage of
manpower, the Band is carrying
on its usual activities which at
present, include preparations for
their annual Screwball Concert
to be given in December. The
cause of the shortage of players
is, as usual, the draft.
The ex-president of the "mus­icians"
is now playing in an Ar­my
Band in Florida, the tympani
player landed in the Marines, and
an oboe player is a Naval Air
Cadet. Mr. Lyon, the band direc­tor,
is asking anyone who has.
talent to see him immediately.
Band practice does not interfere
with classes, but meets at 12:45-
1:25 on Mondays, Wednesdays,
and Fridays. There are many dif­ferent
vacancies, but a few that
need to be filled "right away" are
listed below: tenor saxophone
and baritone saxophone P.layer
(no instrument needed); two bas­soon
players (no instrument);
trumpeter, horn player, and bass
man.
