. d
In original correspondence received from Who's Who 1t was state
that the University of Louisvi would be alloted a quota of 26 stu-dents.
The number of candidates
sent in could be two under or two
over the quota, but the pl!lblica­tion
preferred it to be below the
26 limitation. Dean Davis said he
thinks the fact that we were over
our quota, and that all the names
submitted were accepted, is quite
an honor to the University.
Methods of Selection
Dean Davis notified the deans
of the various schools, and allow )
ed them to use any of the three
methods of selection suggested by
the Who's Who board. Candidates
could be chosen by a faculty com­mittee,
a student committee, or
by a combination of these two. A
fourth method, that of selection
by ad ministrativ~ officers, was
discarded altogether .
The College of Arts and Sci­ences,
for instance, used both stu­dents
and faculty in making their
selections. A committee of faculty
members first drew up a list of
students they thought qualified.
This list was passed on to the
Liberal Arts Student Council,
where the candidates were chosen
by ranked order. The student. on
the list having the most frrst
place votes was elected, and.so on
down the line until 13 candidates
had been chosen.
Final Selections Secret
This list was then sent back to
the faculty committee for approv­al
and then to a Secret Commit­te~
which passed final judgement
on it. Dean Davis stated \hat this
Committee added on name to the
list.
The Dean refused to disclose
the members of the Secret Com­mittee
or the name of the student
added to the list. He acknowl­edged,
however, that the student
had been on the original faculty
list, but had been disqualified by
student vote.
The students nominated for
Who's Who were selected on the
basis of the following points:
1. Students must have been a
junior or senior or upper two
years as of September, 1946.
2. Ability.
3. Personal traits.
4. Scholastic standing .
5. Service to th school.
6. Past record.
7. Leadership and practical
qualities.
8. Participation in extra-cur­ricular
activities.
9. Potential usefulness to so­ciety
and business.
It was stressed that selection
by popularity or scholastic aver-­age
alone was not to be used. Also
students hold in g important
offices or in certain organizations
we would not necessarily be se­lectee..
S t u d e n t s enrolled in
school at the present time wera
the only ones considered.
Quota Determined by Population
The quota allowed the Univer­sity
is determined by populatwn,
and in turn the quotas allowed
each school were listed accoraing
to population.
Of the original quotas alloted ·
to each school, only the College
of Arts and Sciences went over,
and Kent School did not tum in
any.

Salary Raises
For University
Are Announced
Acting President Stamm an­nounced
last Wednesday night,
in a prepared statement, that a
new salary schedule has been set
up for the University faculty
members.
Retroactive to January 1, the
pay-boosting schedule will level
off gross salary differences among
faculty members in the various
schools.
The schedule was submitted
last Wednesday night to the Lou­isville
Chapter of the American
Association of University Pro­fessors
to be discussed by the
members.
Most of the $100,000 increase
voted by the University trustees
was written into the schedule.
The Inter-frat;!rnity Coun­cil
has announced that all
independent men on cam·
pus desiring to be consider­ed
for membership by fra­ternities,
s ho u 1 d submit
their names. addresses, and
phone numbers to the office
of the Dean of Men.
The Council stressed the
fact that while this informa­tion
would provide fraterni·
ties with a list of potential
rushees, it will not obligate
them in any way.

Mr. Stanton,
CBS Prexy,
Audits Class
When Frank Stanton, President
of the Columbia Broadcasting
Company, walked into Gardiner
305 where Social Science 462,
"Great Social Thinkers," was
holding a panel discussion at 3:15
p.m., Wednesday, February 12th,
he gave the class some additional
material for thought.
"After a slight pause for station
identification," and to clear an in­troductory
meaning from a snag
which it had run afoul during the
discussion, Dr. Warner; Head of
the Social Science Department,
was able to greet the new auditor
and introduce him to the class.
Stanton Audits Class
The panel, composed of Dr.
Shaw and Mr. Swink of the Psy­chology
Department, Dr. Malla­lieu
representing Sema]ltics, and
Messrs. Gray and Bird~histell of
Social Sciences, adjourned to
hear the radio executive.
Stanton explai!led that his pur­pose
in auditing the class was to ,
see in action the new educatwnal
method, which was then in oper­ation
in the classroom. The new
procedure was inaugurated here
by Charles P. Farnsley, a Trustee
of the University.
Is CBS's Chief Executive
CBS's Chief Executive first dis­cussed
the possible future of tele­vision,
with emphasis on the use
of color in this field, and the de­velopments
in optic and auditory
educational devices.
He stressed the value of Se­mantics
in te~ching, and said that
great strides forward are possible
in the future when the limitations
of words are realized.
Education from a ·nation-wide
radio network is seen for the fu­ture,
Stanton prophesied. This
auditory type of modern educa­tion
will enable students to un­derstand
what the printed w?rd
cannot explain in many techmcal
subjects taught in our modem so­ciety,
he concluded.
Plato's Republic Heard·
During a demonstration of the
new method, the radio. executive
heard a record loaned by the
company which he heads: T~e

'Barretts of Wimpole Street'
Billed To Open February 24
Opening M o n d a y evening,
February 24 at the Playhouse,
will be the Little Theater's fourth
production of the current season.
It will run four nights, from the
24 through the 27.
Starred in the presentation are
Mary Snow Ethridge · in the role
of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert
Hey as Robert Browning. The role
of Henrietta Barrett will be taken

previously in the cast of Fata
Morgana. Mr. Barrett, father of
the three Barrett daughters, will
be played by Douglas Ramey.
Others included in the cast are:
H e n r i e t t a Schlossberg, Bill
Pickett Neil Savage, Katherine
Blakes.' Kitty Wallwork, Alvin
Stipnett, and Donald Kington.
"It's a good play," stated "Pop"

"The small parts are done
extremely well," he added.
The box office will be open
from noon till 4:00 p.m. from Feb­ruary
20 through February 22

Newly Organized
Shutterbug Club
To Meet Feb. 24
The newly organized Photog­raphy
Club will, hold its next
meeting Monday, February 24 m
room 203, Gardiner Hall, at 12:00
p.m.
This club is made up of all stu­dents
in U. of L. interested in
photography, whether beginners
or not. At present the club is
planning to set up a dark r~m
here on campus for developmg
member's films, and has plans for
be.pnning a photography library.
ThiS library will contain maga­zines
and books on photography.
The membership of the club
now includes 20 members, but all
shutterbugs on campus are in­vited
to attend the next meeting.
Beginners have been promised a
lot of experience and pointers in
this fine art if they come to meet­ings.
As yet the club has not elected
officers, but until that time Dave
Snyder will preside. Dr. Loring,
of the physics department, is the
facWty advimr.
given. "Laura", latest production
of the group, was a sell out, ac­cording
to "Pop" Martin, as have
been most of this season's per­formances.
For this reason five
night runs for the plays are being
considered to handle the many
people who may be disappointed
in not being able to obtain seats.
Next on the bill of Little The­ater
entertainment w i I 1 be
"Julius Caesar." It is planned as
the highlight of the current sea­son.
Jukebox Jamboree,
Freshman Dance,
To Be Feb. 26
Jukebox Jamboree is the title
of the first Freshman frolic to be
held this year. The dance is slated
for Wednesday afternoon, Febru­ary
26, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. in
the gymnasium.
"You don't have to be a Fresh­man
to get in," stated Roger
Madisen, President of the Fresh­man
Class, in announcing the
shindig. "Whether you are a
Freshman or you are working on
your master's, you are invited."
"A jukebox with all of your
favorite tunes will furnish the
music for the afternoon's dancing
and 25c pays for the whole show.
You don't have to have a date to
get into the fun," said Mary Lou
Koch wioo has been placed in
charge of the affair. Ladies with­out
escorts and escorts without
ladies will be welcome, it's open
house, she added.
The Frosh President announced
that if the first of these hops
proves successful, more dances of
this type are in the offing.
Announcer Audition
Changed To Feb. 25
"Difficulty in obtaining time on
the air has necessitated moving
the date of the radio announcer's
final auditions and selections
from February 19 to February
25", said Les Shively, who is in
charge of the tryouts.
Shively planned to have the
finalists on the air the night of
February 19, but because of the
change in Ute final audition date,
a change fat. the date of the first
program is necessary.
The first University radio pro­gram
is scheduled to go on the air
Thursday, March 20.
Dr. Ernst said it is a great hon­or
to have been selected by the
Board of Trustees of the Univer­sity
to become the Dean of the
Speed Scientific School. The
Speed School, and its depart­ments
of Civil, Chemical, Elec­trical,
and Mechanical Engineer­ing,
all of which are fully ac­credited
by the Engineers Coun­cil
for Professional Development,
enjoy a nation-wide reputation
for the high caliber of its scholas­tic
work, and its distinguished
faculty.
Dr. Ernst spoke very highly of
his faculty and associates, who
have done such a splendid job in
bringing to the Speed Scientific
School the recognition that it de­serves.
I. I. R. Has New B~ilding
The In stitu t~ of Industrial Re­search,
which will soon occupy
its new building, is a program
that, of course, has had Dean
Ernst's individual attention as
Director and Executive Vice­President;
and he has been in­strumental
in organizing th e
work and getting the program
under way.
It is the plan of the Institute to
accept contracts from twenty in­dustries
for research work. The
research will be supervised by
faculty project chairmen, and the
work will be carried on by Grad­uate
Fellows.
The splendid relations which
the Speed School enjoys with in­dustry
was especially pointed out
by Dean Ernst. The extensive
personnel program has resulted
in yearly visits by industry to
employ its graduates. The wide­spread
acceptance of its cooper­ative
system and the support of
the Research Institute are all evi­dence
that the Speed School is
serving industry and the com­munity.
Dr. Ernst was especially gener­ous
with his praise for the fine
work of Dean Wilkinson, and his
.leadership in developing t h
Speed School program, which he
and his associates will now have
thep privilege of continuing.

Psych Service
Formally Opened
In Ad Bldg. 201
T h e Psychological Services
Center which was established this
October at Dr. Kelley's suggestion
has been formally opened.
This new office is located in
the Administration Building,
Room 201. It will provide a pro­fessional
psychological service in
problems of human adjustment,
educat ional and vocational guid­ance,
and personal and social ad­justment.

It was established indepen­dent
of any school so that it
would serve all units of the Uni­versity.
The purpose of the P sycholog­ical
Services Center is to aid stu­dents
in discovering and remov­ing
various obstacles to growth
which prevent the student from
taking fullest advantage of his
educational opportunity.
Tekes Get New House
After Year Of Wandering
By BILL WINTER
Members of Tau Kappa Epsilon
fraternity were in such a rush to
move into their new house at 112
W. Barbee Street Thursday, Feb­ruary
13, that they are now the
possessors of a traffic ticket as
well as a deed. The• driver of the
automobile towing. the trailer in
which their furniture was being
transported was picked up by a
patrolman for speeding on East­ern
Parkway.
The unsuperstitious Tekes, de­fying
the date (13th), christened
their new residence with pails of
soapy water, and with happy
hearts and housemaids knee they

are launched on their career as
home bodies:-
The house is a two-story white,
frame structure, adorned with
two Ionic columna oo the front
porch, a happy coincidence for
the Greeks. The traditional TKE
plaque has been placed on the
house to the left of the door. The
house is strategically situated be­tween
the Chi Omega, Kappa
Delta and Delta Zeta houses and
is equipped with a bay window
which commands a view of the
entrances of the three buildings.
Buck's Head Over Fireplace
Upon entering the house, one
finds a comfortable living room
with a buck's head mounted over
the fireplace. Through sliding
doors, one may proceed into the
next room where an attractive
book case lines the wall. In the
rear are a dining room and
kitchen.
Upstairs are two large rooms,
one of which the Tekes plan to
convert into a game room; the
house contains half a dozen
closets.

. However, every team en­tered
in the upper and lower
brackets arc pointing to a pos­sible
fray with Wesfern, and
the Hilltoppers are promised a
rough way to go from Louisville
tonight, and if they emerge vic­torious,
from the probable lower
bracket winner, Eastern.
By defeating Virginia's Cava­liers
in a game that proved to be
easier than pre-game observa­tions
indicated, U. of L. showed a
return to the form that character­ized
their early season victories
over Indiana, and Western, Ky.,
and with the Hilltoppers showing
a reversal of their usual smooth
clicking accuracy, the Cardinals
will be hard to beat tonight.
Eastern Downs Western
Previously to the 49-46 pad­dling
by Eastern, the Hilltoppers
had overwhelmed the Maroons
by 40 markers.
At present, the Western-Louis­ville
record stands at a win apiece
in their two meetings; Louisville
knocking off the potent Hilltop­pers
in Western's first tilt of the
season, and Western winning the
second 77-34.
Western Unleashed Fury
All of Western's pent-up fury
was unleashed on a hapless Card­inal
crew in the last game. Played
at Western, the Westerners suc­ceeded
in breaking a string of six
straight games t h a t superior
Cardinal teams had meted out.
It is said by observers that the
Hilltoppers could probably have
beaten practically any team in
the country that faced them that
night, as they connected on al­most
50 percent of their field at­tempts,
controlled the boards, and
kept the U. of L. offense baffled
and confused. They consistently
broke up Cardinal plays and in­tercepted
passes. Diddle kept
pouring it on the lifeless Cards,
and rolled up one of the highest
scores on the Cardinals since
Peck Hickman took over the U. of
L. reins.
Post Season Game
Arter the K.I.A.C. tournament
winner is decided, St. Louis Uni­versity
invades the Cardinal clan,
in a post-season exhi bition shoot­ing

the game, has announced that
prices of $1.00-up for all fans, in­cluding
U. of L. students.
The game was originally sched­uled
to pit St. Louis against Wes­tern
Kentucky, but when the
Hilltoppers turned down the offer
because of an over-flow schedule
already arranged, University of
Louisville officials ·consented to
subst itute the Cardinal quintet
for Western.
St. Louis Is Eighth In Midwest
St. Louis is ranked eighth in
the midwest, behind only Notre
Dame, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana,
Purdue, Minnesota, and the Okla­homa

Louisville at present, is sixth
in the Dunkel ratings in the
South and Southwest. The five
