Six File Petitions
For L. A. El~ctions
Six students have filed peti­tions
with the Dean of Women as
candidates for positions on Arts
and Sciences Student Council.
The election will be held April 11
in the basement of the Adminis­tration
Building between 9 a.m.
and 4 p.m.
'Julius Caesar' Production Is Impressive;
Rollo Wayne's Settings Are Outstanding
The new student building that
is being constructed between the
Administration Building and
Gardiner Hall should be "ready
for occupancy by the middle of
September" according to acting
President F. W. Stamm.
He added that the two other
structures purchased by the Uni­versity,
a Chemistry Laboratory
and a Library Annex, should also
be set up on campus and in oper­ation
by that time.
20 Week Contract
Concrete has been poured for
the foundation of the student
building and construction is going
according to schedule. The c~n­tractor
is working on a 20 week
contract and to date there is no
reason for believing that work
will not be completed on time.-..
The 80 by 160 foot building,
containing a gymnasium and
lunch room, is presently located
in Radcliff, Ky. near Fort Knox
where it served as a U.S.O. dur­ing
war years. Plans have been
completed toward transporting it
to Belknap Campus and work has
begun on dismantling it for the
trip.
Building Completely Equipped
The structure will arrive com­pletely
equipped with the excep­tion
of the soda fountain. Uni­versity
authorities are quite cer­tain
that they will be able to ob­tain
a soda fountain by the time
the building is ready for use.
Due to the size of the building
some of the space now serving as
a parking lot between Gardiner
Hall and the Administration
Building will be needed to afford
room for the new structure. Mr.
Stamm feels that, despite the
present parking situation on cam­pus,
this smjlll loss in fac~l.iti~s
will be well worth the gam m
additional recreation opportun­ities
offered students by the m;w
building.
Definite word has not been re­ceived
by the University concern­ing
the delivery of the Library
Annex or the Chemistry Labora­tory.
Nor have sites been selected
for their placement on campus.

Young.
Dolores Levitan, a retiring
member of the counci.J, .will be in
charge of the election.
The incumbent president, Jim
Muldoon said that he has been
trying to obtain a voting machine
to eliminate the Hare system of
voting.
Grads Must Register
·To Receive Diplomas
Students graduating in J une
who have not registered in the
Registrar's Office will not receive
diplomas, announced Ralph E.
Hill, Registrar.
He said the official Bulletin of
the University states that all
graduating students must register
for their diplomas at the begin­ning
of the quarter in which they
expect to graduate.
The reason for the advance
notice, he explained, is that the
engraving firm in Chicago must
use a special parchment for the
diplomas. The material is hard to
obtain now, and, consequently,
the engravers must also be given
advance notice.
The last quarter's order for di­plomas
was not submitted until
the middle of that quarter, he
added - the diplomas have not
been received to this date.
By DICK COHEN
Last Monday night the Play­house
lights were dimmed, the
curtain went up, and the admir­ing
exclamations of the audience
ush•ered in the Little Theater
Company's mighty presentation
of Shakespeare's immortal trage­dy,
"{ulius Caesar."
As eack magnificent scene was
uncovered, the vjewer had little
difficulty, indeed, imagining him­self
a citizen of ancient Rome, or
belonging to the awesome gran­deu:
r in which that fabled city
was so richly steeped.
T•op credit for the production,
in our estimation, should be given
Rollo Wayne whose enchanting
sets tipped the entire production
with a mystical hue. The excel­lent
costumes, too, provided an
imaginative touch tg the per-formance.
-
With a cast of over 75 persons,
naturally the full gamut of acting
abilities was reached . It seemed
as though those in secondary roles
surpassed some of the lead char­acters
in interpreting their parts.
Our vote for one of the finest
acting chores of the evening goes'
to l•eRoy Cooper who portrayed
the animated Casca who lament­ed
the fact that he had not slit
Caesar's throat when it had been
bared to the puJ:Wc and who
eventually enterel!" the p 1 o t
against the ruler's life.
R•oy Finnegan was acceptable
in the lead role of Brutus, torn be­tween
love of Caesar and a sin·
cere wish to see justice prevail.
• Running upon his sword to end
his earthly tribulations, Brutus
diedl at the end of the play as "the
noblest Roman of them all."
Cassius, the diabolical per­suader
of Brutus, was played by
Little Theater
Pre. sentation
Well Received
N. S. Wilder who seemed to be
convincing at times, and then
again bewildered in the part. He,
too, was served the usual, tragic
Shakespearean fate as he finally
ordered Pindarus to run him
through with the sword "that
ran through Caesar's bowels . .. "
C. 0. M e I o y portrayed a
changeable .Caesar who was in
turn noble, meek, defiant, dodder­ing
and brave and finally died
with the famous but somewhat
dubious "et tu, Brute?" on his
lips.
Neil Savage, not an overlr
convincing Mark Antony, seemed
a little young for the part but de­picted
his love and loyalty to
Caesar with tear-jerking finesse.
An extremely fine performance
was given by Mrs. Edward L.
Strater in the limited' role of
Portia, Brutus' "noble wife." C.
Douglas Ramey's excellent touch
was present in the beginning and
end of the play and was sorely
needed in the middle, too.
Outside of a--§light anachronism
jn providing the Roman sooth·
~ayer with a Bronx accent, most
of the other minor parts were
well portrayed. Among these
were Artemidorus by Josef Dig- ,
nan, Calpurnia by Mrs. C. Robert
Weiller, Titinus by "Cotton"
Becht, Decius Brutus by Elbert
Sutcliffe, Metellus Cimber by Del
Roy, Trebonius by Jack P eterkin,
1.md Octatrius Caesar by Nick
George.

Festival are proceeding apace,
announced Joanne Elrod, Chair­man
of All-Campus Council's
Progress Commission which has
charge of the song fest.
The singing this year is open
to all groups on campus, and, not,
only to fraternities and sororities.

mixed choruses may not
compete. This year the women's
groups are eligible for competi­tion,
whereas last year they could
not enter on a competitive basis.

and Chairman Elrod advises all
who have not registered to do so
before April 14 in order tQ b~
eligible.

following points, as voted by the
judges:
l. Marching formations on neat­ness,
precision, and attractive­ness-
10%
2. Appearance--10%
3 . .t'u-r_angements-10% .
4. Pitch and tone qualities of in­tonation-

'5. Stage presence, reaction to au­dience--
10%
6. Interpretation:
a. Tempo and balance-15~
b. Articulation-10%
c. Response to conductor-15%
d. Expression and dynamics-
10%
Judges have not been selected
yet, but will be announced soon.
Other points arranged by the
commission are the free selection
of songs, optional dress, and the
elimination of tickets.
Site To Be Ad. Bldg. Steps
The steps of the Administration
Building have, as in the past,
been selected for the presentation
of the Festival. Letters asking the
cooperation and participation of
all the schools have been mailed.
Inaugur:tted i:a May, 1939, the
Fryberger Sing is given annually
in the honor of the late Mrs.
_.Agnes Fryberger, who was a
teacher of music appreciation at
the University from 1932 until
her retirement in 1939. Mrs. Fry­berger,
a native of Minneapolis,
Minnesota, contributed much to
the campus life and the Univer­sity
and wrote several songs for
the school. She died in September
of 1939.
for:aances, witnessed by very
few, was that given by Director
Boyd Martin who had no small
task in molding quantities of raw
talent into acceptable Shake ­spearean
stock. It was a gigantic
job, well done.
Th,e lighting in the show was
exceptionally well executed and
provided an extremely interest­ing
and effective atmosphere.
Credit should also be given to
Walter Dean Dowell who design­ed
and constructed the excellent
statue of Pompey which was used
in the senate scene.
"Julius Caesar" was presented
every night this week. An extra
perfonnance will be given tonight
as a result of the pressing demand
for seats.
The Little Theater's final offer­ing
of the season will be, "The
Lale George Apley." Tryouts for
that play will be held at 8:30
Monday night, April 14, at the
Playhouse.
DR. JOHN W. TAYLOR

Shively of the News Bureau~ Dr.
John W. Taylor, President-elect
of the University, expressed his
greetings to the alumni and fac­ulty
from Berlin, Germany where
he is cQl).llect~d with the re-edu­cation
program.
He said that he "is looking for­ward
w it h sincere pleasure
toward working for and with the
alumni and faculty in the interest
of a greater University of Louis­ville."
Dr. Taylor sails on the Motor
Ship Noordam from Rotterdam,

Dedication Services For New Naval Science Building Scheduled
New Structure
Is One Of Four
Now In States
By BETTIE SPEICHER
June 1 is •the date set for the
completion of the Naval Science
building facing Eastern Parkway
across from Speed School. The
offices which are now in Law
School will probably be moved
over within the ndt two weeks.
Dedication services are tenta­tively
scheduled for June 21. The
equipment which il now stored in
the basement of the PlayhoUJe,
the bleachers in the G~ the top
deck of Barrru:ks C, the basement
of the Law School, and the Naval
Ordnance Plant will be on the
move soon. Travelling teams of
ordnance *bnlcl•• will JBOft
the equipment which needs gen·
tle handling and all the rest will
be taken care of by technicians
from the Naval Ordnance Plant.
Only Three Others in U. S.
There are only three other
Naval Science buildings similar
to ours. One is at the University
of Rochester, one at Illinois Insti­tute
of Technology, and one at a
western college. They all are
faintly built by the ~avy and the
schools and are constructed on
the satl)e general lines.
BuUdlng Has Capacity of 300
With approximately 60 NROTC
students now in school and 55 -
more expected next September,
the building will have a capaci~y
of 300. Captain John Lewis,
USN, and Lt. Col. E- C. Godbold,
USMC, will be in charge of. the
five matructors and ten enlisted
./
complement. Lt. Col. Godbold
says that the U. of L. will even­tualmy
have enough NROTC stu­dents
to fill the building.
In the basement will be a stu­dent
lounge to which the Naval
Science students may bring their
gue:?ts, a vault for film stoJ::ilge,
anti-submarine tactics, a one-man
rifle range, and a 8mall-arms
romn.
ArmOI'J' - Firat Deck

program including boxing, swim­ming,

Bonds Will Cover $500.000
Vice-P resident Stamm has
stated that the cost will be at
least $1,000,000, and if a gift or
gifts totalling $500,000 can be se­cw
·ed, the University would issue
bonds covering the balance. In
1945, U. of L. paid the Jefferson
County Armory nearly $15,000 in
rental fees for its home basketpall
games. A local high school gym­nasium
is now being rented to
take care of the over-flow intra­mural
program. The fieldhouse
can be made a self financing
proposition, and could pay for it ­self
in 20 years.
Present Gym Inadequate
The present gymnasium is en­tirely
inadequate from any angle
• considered. It was partially burn­ed
during the war, and only
temporary repairs have been
made to it. Its seating capacity is
only 750, and a major home game
will draw 10 times this number.

G. I. students at the University
o~ Louisville have to pay the
h1ghest rent of students in any
school that he has visited in this
area, Congressman W. Howes
Meade sta ted at a meeting with
students o_f .. th is University who
are attendmg U. of L. under the
benefits of the G. I. Bill of Rights.
The meeting was held Monday,
Apnl 7, on the lawn fronting the
Administration Building. Stu­dents
at the University of Louis­ville
are a little better off than
the students at the average school
m Kentucky, he added, because
the greatest portion of our stu­dents
live in the city with par­ents
or relatives and thus are
able to cut down on expenses.
Representative Meade is mak­ing
a survey of conditions of the
G. I. students at colleges and uni­versities
in Kentucky for the
House Veterans Subcommittee on
education. Kentucky was picked
as a representative state for the
~w·vey because it contains Mu­nicipal
and State universities as
well as teachers and technological
colieges.
Representative Me ad e also
stated that "with the exception of
Lexington where food is very
high too "veterans here paid more
for food and meals than at any
other university yet covered on
his tour of inspect ion .
The Congressman was intro­duced

April 7, was made by an ex·
Wave who stated that the

tion hardly afford~d suffici·
ent funds to go on dutch
dates with her G. I. !toy
friend. who was unable to
pay both checks.
Stamm who informed listeners
that W. Howes Meade graduated
from the University of Louisville
Law School in 1939 and that he
has also spent three years in the
Navy which made him extra­ordinarily
receptive to the prob­lems
of students 1in this area.
In an open session, in which the
students were given an opportun­ity
to air their greviences and
solutions for problems they en­counter,
veteran student R. H.
Lee presented a rough expense
account for one month for the
average student existing on the
present $65.00 allotment. The
total for food, rent, bus far<!
laundry, dry cleaning and pin
money of five dollars per week
came to a total of $73.40.

University Students To Have
For June 21
Fiesta Dance And Parade; ,
To Observe Pan-American Week
By NATALIE FARWELL
Next Monday opens the Pan­American
Fiesta and Louisville is
maKing plans for its observance.
There will be a parade to which
U. of L. is contributing a float.
The parade, on April 14th, will
start the city-wide observance.
U. of L.'s float will be the work of
the Latin American Club, the All­Campus
Council, and the Inter­national
Relations Club, as well
as the Courier-Journal and Lou­isville's
International Center from
outside. The Louisville Interna­tional
Center won the $500 na­tional
prize for the best observ­ance
last year.
Fiesta Dance
On April 18th, U. of L. students
will don Latin American dress for
a fiesta dance. Prizes will be
awarded for the most authentic
costume and it is hoped that
everyone will enter the competi­tion.
From nine o'clock until one
a .m., when the orchestra plays the
last note, the time will be packed
with music, entertainment, and
dancing in the Latin American
way,
On first sight the affair will
look more like a street scene than
a dance. Booths decorated in a
Latin American theme will line
the walls and the flags of the 21
nations of the Pan-American
Conference will be on displ_y_
The ingenuity of each campus
organization has been challenged
with an opportunity to take
charge of a booth. They must
stick to the Latin American mo­tif,
but the function of the booths
will vary as much as any carnival.
Consuls from Cuba, Colombia,
and Brazil will attend in full dip­lomatic
dress giving an official
air_
After the dancers have had a
chance to practice the American
way of dancing some profession­als
will be on hand to entertain
with some South American ones.
The dancers will come from Miss
Flanedy's and Lilas Courtney's
dancing schools.
Bullfight
A mock bullfight will complete
the floorshow and the dancers can
continue their dancing, no doubt
in a Latin American rhythm, or
join the conga line, which will
take the place of a grand man:h_
Tickets may be purchased next
week in the Student Center. Ad­mittance
is of neceaity limited
because of the number of booths
taking up space. All are UJ'Ied to
get tickets as 10011 u poaible.
