President Leaves To Study
Universities In England
On September the 24th President Jacobsen will board the Queen
Elizabeth for England. The object of his trip will be to study univer­sities
in England that are similar to U. o!f L. in tlhe hope of creating
a better understanding between the Sltudents of the two countries.
Dr. Jacobsen, who has a strong feeling that all nations must co­operate
educationally as wel!l as economically will be carrying out one
of the ideals tha•t was laid down in the United Nations Charter. The
trip is b€ing sponsored by the
National Education Association
altfu.ough the English government
will handle ahl expenses from the
point of departure.
Other Teachers To Go
With Dr. Jacobsen will go three
elementary schooJ teachers who
will study the methods and teach­ings
in the lower grades. They are
Miss Muriel Hampton, Pasadena.,
Calif.; Miss Mabel Studebaker,
Erie, Penn.; and Mrs Beulah
Keeton Walker, DaUas, Texas.
They were picked !because of
their exceptionally higlh rahng as
teachers and will carry on their
study under the guidance of Dr.
Jacobsen, who is in charge of 'the
committee.
The universities that will be
visited will be in Birmingham,
Manchester and Leeds; all of
w!hiah are of the same classifica­tion
as U. of L. On returning, a
unit will be prepared on England
which wiN be used in the ele­mentary
schools throughout the
country. It is ho.ped that in the
future a plan will be worked out
whereby the colleges in England
will be aJble to exohange profes­sors
wit!h colleges in our country.
Dr. Jacobsen believes that this
will be a great step tQIWard bring-ing
the two countries to a better
underSJtanding and wiill also aid
the furtherance of international
relations.
Dean Wilkinson To Sub
During his stay in England,
President Jacobsen's position will
be Dilled by Dean Wilkinson of
Speed School. President Jacobsen
expects to be gone for four weeks.
Novelty Show A Success
On Friday, Aug. 31 station
WOLF broadcast a hit show to
the campus when it presented
Duke Miller's "Hour of Poo." The
Navy Band, directed by its versa­tile
leader, Jimmy Powe],] helped
to bring down the roof with such
num.bers as "Lament in E Flat",
Jim's own composition, "T•ippin'
In", "Board Meeting", and "Sat­urday
Ni@.·t.'
Terey Lemons came into the
spotlight as the composer of a
new song hit, "Why", arranged
for the band by (here comes that
name again) Jim Powell and sung
in a one and only way by the
same. Terry was also very suc­cessful
with her "I Should Care"
when she is given the brush off
by that lover, Lee O'Neal.
This show not only had f·irst
cllasrs music but its success was
assured by some of the best vau­deviLle
comedy heard 'round here
for a long time. In the comedy
roles were Chuck Kezel and Carlo
Weber who depicted, 1n a laugh
packed script, a scene ruboard the
D.E. 733, that sadly mourned ves­sal
of the sea, in 1970. Any show
n the future should definitely in­clude
these two boys as no more
laughs per minute could be had.
Even Miss Taylor, then Acting
Dean of Women, took part in the
show as a lady recommending
Poo. To also aid in this commer­cial
a lively quartette composed
of Mary Taylor, Dotty Spaul.ding,
Virg·inia U~and, and Doris Clark
sang the praises of Poo.
Two novelty num·bers by Ann
Carter provided the dancing for
the evening. The first was a hula
solo to show the "Beauties af
Wakiki", Charley Lung, Frank
Spitzer, Bud Mooney, and Rodney
Hayes how it is really done. The
second was a tap number called
"Intoxicating Trups", with the
scene laid in "Joe's Place" with
Frank Cassidy at the piano.
Another novelty featured the
Student Center T11io, Jo Sheryak,

be affected: V-12 students who
are now enrolled in NROTC or
who may be enrolled in NROTC
on or before November 1, 1945
will be retained under instruction

commissioned as pro­lbationary
ensigns in the Naval

Speed Scientific School
Plans Five Year Program
Speed Scientific School has announced a new program to streng­then
and broaden the scope of an engineer. During the time of the
accelerated program, which is now being used, it requires only three
years for completion of the courses. Beginning w1th the fall quarter,
1946, the currLculum will consist of five years of academic and co­operative
studies. The .first two years will be devoted entirely to study.
The next two years wll be split iruto school work and cooperative jobs
in industry, with the fifth year spent on classroom work.
Enrollment For
Summer Nears
Pre-War Level
The inter-session courses which
began August 27, drew an enroll­ment
o£ 83 students. This in­creases
the total enrollment of
the University for the summer
semester to 1498. This corre­sponds
to an enrollrrnent of 1336
for the same time 1aSJt year. The
i.niCrease over last years total
shows that the University is over
the so called '~hump" and that en­rollment
should begin to ap­proach
the pre-war level.
This return to normal will be
accompanied by the return to the
quarterly system for Speed
School and the semester system
for other colleges. There will be
either 6 or 8 week summer ses­sions,
with the reg.ubar -curriculum
beginning in September and end­ing
in June. 'Dhe enrollments for
the different schools are as fol­lows:
Ga:-aduate School 21, Law
12, Speed 247, Music 176, Medical
353, Dental 147, Municipal Col­lege
8, DAE 69, ·and L. A. 465.
This will permit the require­ments
of the undergraduate to be
extended into the scope of th!i
Liberal Arts College. The need
for this extension has been appar­ent
for many years but was not
possible within the time prev­iously
provided under ·the oJd
conventional four year program.
Such courses will be added that
will bring to the engineer a. real­ization
of the importance of the
application of the fundamental
sciences with regard to human
relationships.
Less Specialized Courses
There will be no sacrifice of the
,professional work in each of the
four specialized fields in which
degrees are granted, which are
Chemical, Civil, Electrical and
Mechanical Engineering. T h e
progress in the soiences over the
past decade has been so rapid and
extensive that there is seen a
def.inite need to do away with
spedalization as much as pos­sible.
For this reason more basic
fundamental courses will be in­serted
in favor of those that per­tain
oruy to a .particular and iso­la
ted subjects.
The decision to extend the pro­gram
was made only after more

New Professors Join Staff
The University of Louisville
welcomes to its faculty two new
professors, Mr. Louis W. Clark of
the Chemistry department, and
Dr. George Muench who has join­ed
the Psychology department.
Mr. Clark, who preferred the
Wtonders of chemistry to his .form­er
position as a Government
Stenographer, received his Bache­lor's
and Master's in chemistry at
the University of Oklahoma. The
Oklahoman then worked as Jun­ior
Chemist f.or the Department
Dean Returns
Last week Dean Hilda Threlkeld
returned to the U. of L. campus.
Leaving at the end of last sem­ester,
she diV'ided her time be­tween
Maysville, Kentucky and
New Mexico. (See feature story
on page 3 for her New Mexican
experiences.)
On her return M·iss Threlkeld
observed signs of heightening of
school spirit. She attributes this
to the relief of an:x.iety due to the
war, and to the new and varied
soda! activiiies which have taken
place, and whioh are being plan­ned.
At present there are several
new events tenta.tive]Jy on the so­cial
calendar, and more will be
heard about these later.
Miss Threlkeld wis!hes to ex­tend
an invitation to anyone who
has social ideas, personal prob­lems,
or just a visiting mood to '
drop into her office-the Wel­come
Mat is always out.
of Agriculture and as Associate
Chemist with the Phillips Pe­troleum.
Company of Oklahoma.
After working in Industrial
Chemistry, Mr. Clark went to
Oregon State College as a Grad­uate
Scholar to work on that
PhD. .Alfter a year at Oregon
State, Mr. Clark was advised to
come here because the warmer
climate wowd be beneficial to his
wife's health.
Clark to Teach Chemistry
The chemist will teach general
and organic chemistry and plans
to continue work on his Doctor­ate.
Organic is his first love. Mr.
Clark says the chemistry depart­ment
is small but growing and
certainly has possibiLities. He ex­pressed
his admiration for U. of
L. and says that he is proud to be
working here.
Psychology Adds Muench
Dr. Geor,ge Muench received
his A. B. at Dennison in Granville
Ohio. He then went to Ohio State
rfor his Master's and Doctorate.
Dr. Muench specialized in clinical
psychology. He worked as school
psychologist at the University
School in Columbus and as In­structor
at Ohio State where he
w<>rked in the Psychological
CLinic. The Psychologist has come
into contact wdth all age groups
in his experience.
Professor Muench, who arrived
on the campus the first week in
September, has had an excellent
time teaclling and viewing the
workings of the Univef'Siity. He
