VOL. III
LOUISVILLE. KENTUCKY. FRIDAY. JULY 27, 1945 NO.2
U. of L. Prof. to Study
European Economics
London, England seems very
far away for most of us, but for
University of Louisville's Dr.
Williams it's only a nineteen hour
trip. Leaving Louisville last Tues­day,
July 15, his first stop was
·washington where he picked up
his passport and other necessary
papers. From there he caught a
Clipper to England.
To Study Countries
The object o1 the trip is to
study the present economic situa­tion
in England, France, Belgium
and possibly Germany, although
chances of getting into the latter
country are very slight. Dr. Wil­liams
plans to spend half of his
two months in England. He will
work in cooperation w.ith the
Office of War Information and
will send back his findings to the
Courier-J·ournal as well as the
Finance Magazine of Chicago.
Expects Hold-up
A holdup in the State Depart­ment
kept Dr. Williams here long­er
than he expected, but knowing
how governmental red tape is he
sat back and waited till he finally
got the green light. He believes
that the trip over will be easy. to
obtain but that getting back at
the end of his !Stay will not be so
easy as the planes are crowded
with returning G. I.'s.
This is far from Dr. Williams
Sheehan Leaves
Bidding adieu to the campus
this week was Apprentice Sea­man
Joe Sheehan who received
his orders last Monday to report
to Great Lakes, Illinois. Sheehan,

the best-known sailors on the
campus, and a staunch backer of
the campus activities.

DR. CHARLES WILLIAMS
first trip abroad. He has lived in
many European countries in the
past, studying their economic set­up,
so this trip will just add to his
many and interesting experiences.
He will take his former place
as teacher and head of the Eco­nomic
Department when he re­turns,
which will be around the
first of September. Mr. Paul of
Speed Sch'ool is handling the
Freshman courses and F . C. Mull
is teaching the Sophomore classes
during Dr. Williams a1bsence,
with the more advanced students
doing their work independently.
Nazi Books
In L-ibrary
The library has received two
German volumes as a gift from
Sgt. J~eph A. Biagi, former U.
of L. student now stationed in
Schwabeck, Germany. Published
by Nazis and written for home
consumption, the books are typ­ical
of Germany's cunning propa­ganda
methods and constitute an
excellent study of Nazi methods
in this field.
Hitler Pin-ups
The smaller volume, entitled
"Hitler's Face", contains photo­graphs
of Hitler beginning with
1919. Printed in 1936, it also con­tains
excerpts from some of his
speeches.
Party History Told
The other hook, "Germany
Awakens,'' tells of the birth,
struggle, and Vtictory of ·the Na­tionalist
Socialist Labor Party.
It also tells of tile beginning of
the Nazi Party in 1920, the Youth
Movement, and contains excerpts
from "Mein Kampf." The book is
beautifully illustrated with actual
color photographs put in by hand.
Among them is an illustration of
Hlitler's home at Berteschgaden.
It is Sargeant Biagi's hope that
,students and educators may
study such works in an effort to
learn why the war happened and
most of all, how it could happen
in a civilized world. Thus ·b~
knowing the symptoms, they may
be able to. diagnose such an evil
as Nazism before it reaches the
stages outlined in these 1books.

Bier Lectures
On Child Art
In U-L Classes
On Thursday, July 19, Dr. Bier
gave a short lbut interesting talk
on the importance of childrens
a·rt. Addressing the art pupils, Dr.
Bier stressed that the main pur­pose
of childrens art is to let them
express themselves without inter­ference
of adult ideas.
As examples he used the pro­ducts
of one days work at a nurs­ery
scho.ol in which various ages
from three to five were demon­strated.
The three year old pupils
covered the sheet rather crudely
in solid colors while the four year
olds did the same thing more
skillfully with other colors. The
five yea·r old !painters showed the
beginning .of patterns and lines
and the development of geo­metrical
and human figures.
Those results, Dr. Bier explain­ed,
were closely related to the
crude art of the pre-stone and
stone ages. In addition he showed
that modern art, to some degree,
was an influence in this elemen­tary
stag€.
work and no play does keep those
A's away. This committee enthus­iastically
accepted the carnival
suggestion and appointed Alice
Warns and Scotty McNeur, co­chairmen.
Working under these
leaders will be Margaret Roecker,
head of recreation. Bess Anne
Baugh, f o o d chairman, Dotty
Spalding, chairman of booths and
Johnnie Chrimes seeing to the
entertainment.
Howdy Walk will become a cir­cus
ground of booths to please the
eye and the pocketbook. The or­ganizations

For the eds and co-eds who
love the great out-of-doors there
will be mixed softball teams all
through the afternoon "on the
green." These teams will battle
it out as long as the sun lasts and
then comes the question of food.
Box lunches, selling at twenty­five
cents will be purchased by
the boys. With each lunch a num­ber
to be matched by a gal and so
supper partners are arranged.
The big and final event will be
dancing under the stars in front
of the Administration Building
with the proverbial 'lodian fur­nishing
the music. This is a lovely
way to end an evening and a
story.
War Dads Accuse Colleges
Of Profiteering On Veterans
Mr. Arch Stafford, National
Executive Secretary of the Amer­ican
War Dads Organization at
the state convention here charged,
"That every tax supported school
in the country is "profiteering" on
the veterans who are supplement­ing
their schooling under the G.
I. Bill of Rights. These schools,
through their representatives,
went to Washington and obtained
permission to charge non-~esid~nt
fees of the veteran who Is gomg
to scho.ol with money obtained
under G. I. Bill of Right-s. These
non-resident fees are assessed
even to those veterans who are
residents of the state where they
are attending school."
Fle~urse~e~s
Mr. Frank McDonogh, Mr.
Joseph Wahl and Mr. Tony
Boeckman, Louisville War Dads,
Concurred in the justification of
the charge and agreed thoroughly
on the eventual outcome. Each
veteran will be reimbursed for
these differences when the bonus
becomes an actuality.
Mr. Joseph Wahl asserted, "The
American War Dads Organization
is a non-sectarian, non-profit,
non-political and non-selfish
gr.oup comparable to an eagle
with outstretched talons ready to
strike at any discrepancy aimed
with disadvantage to any veter­an."
lsi War Dad Speaks
Mr. Tony Boeckman, the first
War Dad in Kentucky, said '"This
is a new organization-we held
our first national convention in
October, 1943, and this is our first
publicity, not necessarily pre­ferred
unless it can be used to the
advantage of the veteran. Noth­ing
can be gained in the way of
membership lfrom this publicity
because no veteran of this war is
eligible to join this organization.
This is strictly a body of the par­ents
and guardians who want to
see that their sons and daughters
get a decent break on leaving the
service."
Cases Cited
Mr. Frank McDonagh cited in­numerable
c a s e s of veterans'
problems being solved by this or­ganization
including returning
veterans to jobs over the protest
of unwilling employers.
All three Dads stated that these
