Resignation Submitted ( Apley' Opens Monday Night President John W. Taylor Arrives
By Dean Elwood-Davis · To Assume Duties As U • L Head;
Ex-Dean of Men
Assumes Position
At U. of S. Cal.
"The decision to accept the
offer of the University of Sou­thern
California, which came
sometime ago, was not an easy
one to make," said Dean of Men
Elwood C. Davis in a personal
message to the entire student
body of U. of L.
Dean Davis had tendered his
resignation to the directors at
their May 14 meeting, and will
leave the University at the con­clusion
of the Spring quarter to
assume his new position as Pro­fessor
of Health Education at
U.S.C. in August.
"Most of us here at U. of L. feel
that we are on our way toward
great things," continued the
Dean's message of regret at leav­ing
U. of L., "This feeling is sub­stantiated
by evidence, not the
least important of which is the
growing idea and ideal of unity
among the students."
Professional Advancement
He stressed the fact that his
resignation was prompted by the
opportunity for professional ad­vancement
rather than by a de­sire
for a I arger salary.

By DICK COHEN
Anyone who h~s strolled past
the Playhouse in the evening dur­ing
the last few weeks and has
wonder~d about the screams and
roars and belly laughs pouring
forth from that venerable old
building can now stop pondering.
The cause of the disturbance was
merely the Little - Theater Com­pany
which is thoroughly enjoy­ing
its rehearsals of their final
offering -:-f the season, "The Late
George A p ley," by J. P.
Marquand.
Versatile C. Douglas Ramey
who portrays the much discussed
Mr. Apley has no small degree of
difficulty in maintaining that
poker face which the part re­quires.
At any rate, he has until
May 19, when the production be­gins
its four night run, to condi­tion
himself.
Director Boyd Martin wonders
if the audience will love the play
as much as the cast. "We· can't
help laughing at the same lines
over and 0 v e r again," he
chuckled.
Since the modern public has
been accustomed to previews of

the "coming attractions," we'll
provide a slight appetizer right
here in a scene between Apley,
his daughter Eleanor and his wife
Catherine:
ELEANOR. It's just that I think
coming, out parties are an out­moded
folk custom. It's the old
idea of introducing the virgin to
the tribes.
CATHERINE. Really, Eleanor!
APLEY. Why Eleanor, there
are some things that we simply
don't mention!
ELEANOR. Why shouldn't we
mention them?
APLEY. Well, dear! Savage
tribes!
ELEANOR. Really, Father, if
things exist I don't see why we
shouldn't face them.
APLEY. Because we do not face

ELWOOD C. DAVIS
someone to fill t h e vacancy
created by the Dean's resignation,
Frederick Stamm, U. of L.'s vice­president
said:
"We have no successor in line,
but we hope to get a man to suc­ceed
Dean Davis as Director of
Athletics, Director of Health and
Physical Education, and Dean of
Men."
First Dean of Men
Dean Davis was the first official
Dean of Men at the University of
Louisville despite the fact that
85% of the student enrollment
consists of men.
Student Health Center
Under the guidance of Dean'
Davis the athletic program has
been rejuvenated and consider­ably
extended, the Student Health
Center has been moved from its
former cramped quarters in the
basement of Gardiner Hall to its
adequate and w e !!-equipped
headquarters in White Hall, and
intramural athletics have been in­creased
both in scope and num­ber.
Talks To High Schools
In line with their current active
program of improving the campus
and its activities, the Student
Council of the College of Arts and
Sc;!ences has scheduled a se!'ies of
addresses by U. of L. students to
students in the various Louisville
area high schools. ·Purpose of
these talks is to acquaint seniors
in the various secondary schools
with the opportunities afforded
them at the University of Louis­ville.
The speakers will discuss the
advantages of attending a munici­pal
University, U. of L. in par­ticular,
and the benefits of a col­lege
education generally. It is
hoped that these talks will direct
a larger percentage of local fresh­men
to the lTniversity of Louis­ville,
thu benefitting this insti­tution
and the City of Louisville.
Schools included in the pro­gram

Students See Derby In Retrospect
Rousing from its war time hibPrnation, another tradition is to be
resurrected on Belknap Campus: freshman week. The announcement
of the r ebirth of freshman week was recently made by Louis McQuady,
president of the Student Council of the college of Arts and Sciences.
Final plans for fr•~man week have not yet been completed by the
Council, which will supervise the activities, but the date has been set
at September 15 to 20.
The main projects -'to be con­ducted
will be a series of orienta-tion
programs to brie~ new stu­dents
on the University, its cus­toms,
traditions, and history. Also
a councilipg service will be set
up to aid' incoming students to
make out schedules and decide
upon majors. This committee will
probably work with the commit­tee
in charge of registration.
Registration Under Council
Mr. McQuady also announced
that registration will continue
under the direction of the Coun­cil,
whieh after adding numerous
improvements to the system and
speeding it up several hours, su­pervised
t h e signing in bst
quarter.
The Freshman Week Council­ing
Committee will be headed by
Jane Northern; Roger Madison
will act as chairman for the
Freshman Week Mechanics Com­mittee.
Another project soon to be
undertaken by the Arts and Sci­ences
Student Council will be the
placing of a question box on
Howdy Walk. The primary pur­pose
of the box will be to provide
a system whereby new "Students
may present question concern'ing ·
any phase of college life and ac­tivities.
The box may also be
used by upper classmen with
similar questions.
Quiz Box Set Up
McQuady stated that he be
lieves the question box will prove
successful after the first few
weeks when students become ac­customed
to its services, He hopes
that so called campus wits will
hold their enterprises to a mini­mum
in relation to this service as
it is dedicated to a serious func­tion.
Manner of answering questions

$80 Stolen
From Center
Friday Night
By BILL GOLDEN
Approximately $80.00 was
stolen from the Student Center,
located in the basement of Gardi­n
er Hall, sometime Friday night,
May 9, or early Saturday morn­ing.
The theft marked the second
robbery on Belknap Campus in
three months.
The University safe, in the Ad­ministration
Building, was rifled
of $4,800 on the night of March 8.
No official word has been re­leased
concerning the possible
CQI)JleCtion of the two robberies. -
The Student Center theft was
discovered Saturday morning by
one of the fountain girls who
closed the Center and notified Mr.
Troyer, Director of Auxiliary
Units at the University, under
whose dominion is the Student
Center. Mr. Troyer, in turn, noti­fied
the palice.
The Student Center was kept
closed all day Saturday while
police held their investigation and
grilled the employees of the stu­dent
meeting place.
Although no official datement
has been released concerning the
robbery, it is rumored that en­trances
to the two rooms com­prising
the Student Center were
found to be locked and entrance
is believed to have been effected--""
by a key.
Perpetrators of the safe robbery
were discovered by the night
watchman on duty in th€ act of
opening the safe but escaped
while he absented himself to sum­mon
aid.

Engineer's Day·
To Be Celebrated
Friday, May 23
By JOANNE ELROD
Belknap Campusites will soon
have an opportunity to become
acquainted with one of the out­standing
schools of the Univer­sity
of Louisville--Speed Scien­tific
School.
Friday, May 23 has been desig­nated
as the new official Engi­neer's
Day. From three until nine
o'clock four buildings will house
some 75 exhibits for the public to
look at and comment upon.
If you know little about survey­ing,
engines, machine voltage and
chemical reaction, this is the time
to find out with practical demon­strations
to aid you. Speed School
students will escort the guests
about and explain all the intri­cate
points. Also to be displayed
will be exhibits from industries
in the Louisville area.
Buildings housing the demon­strations
will be the Physics, old
and new Speed Buildings and the
Institute of Industrial Research.
- Engineer's Day is planned so
that students and citizens of Lou­isville
may get to know and
understand what t h e Speed
School is doing. It is expected
that this will be the first in a
series of programs planned to
bring the different schools of the
university closer together with
more and better understanding
among thein as the prime object.

{I'm For Athletics/
New Prexy Announces
By LES GADDIE
Latest ex-G.I. to arrive on Belknap Campus is Dr. John W. Taylor,
new pres1dent of the oldest municipal university in the United States.
Dr. Taylor arrived unheralded Friday morn ing, May 9, and q uietly
assumed his duties as president. ·
Although the office had been freshly decorated with flowers none
of the administrative staff was present at his arrival and h~ was
unrecognized by students studying in the rotunda of the Administra­tion
Building as he passed through on his way to the office. The first
that was known of his presence was when his secretary walked in and
found him behind the presidential desk absorbed in a pamphlet on the
University. He looked up and calmly informed her that he was expec t­ing
a phone call from E. S. Jouett, chairman of the Board of Trustees.
Has That "Coming Home" Feeling
He has assumed his regular duties less than two weeks after leav­ing
Berlin where he headed the Education Branch of the Amer ican
Mil itary Government.
"After four years 'of education
in the Army it is good to get back
to the job you have been trained
for," Dr. Taylor remarked, light­ing
a cigarette. "It really seems
like coming home because of the
work done with Dr. Kent some
years ago." He addd that the
fact that his wife is a native of
Bardstow:~ , Ky. and that he has
numerous relatives in this state
contributed to this feeling.
"I have worked at this very
desk," he said, referring to survey
work in which he had worked
with Dr. Raymond A. Kent, past
president of the University of
Louisville. "At that time Dr.
Kent's office was in the Law
Building.''
Pro-Collegiate Athletics
In answer to the question that
is uppermost in the minds of
many students, the new prexy
stated flatly, "I'm for athletics."
He continued that he was pro-in­ter-
collegiate athletics as well as
for intra-mural athletics as long
as they were not allowed to dom­inate
college activities. He further
said that although a strong mi­nority
of physical educators were
against intercollegiate athletic
programs, "ninety-five percent of
the institutions in. our class have
them, if you are in a five pe rcent
DR. JOHN W. TAYLOR
minority, it is time to examine
your position.''
First Class Rating
Attained By Cardinal
At the present time he is not
too well acquainted with our ath­letic
program but it is only a
matter of time. Dr. Taylor says
that the United States is a coun­try
noted for athletic contest and
believes that this is a healthy con­dition.
Rated as an "Excellent" college weekly by the Associ.ated Collegi­ate
Press The Cardinal scored 915 of a possible 1,065 points to win a
First Cla~s Honor Rating, announced the A.C.P. this week.

semester of 1946-4 7.
Falling within th e weekly
group serving . an enrollment of
above 2,500 students, The Card­inal
missed the higher rating of
"All-American" by 85 points.
All of the 35 newspapers with
which The Cardinal was com­pared
were judged by four pri­mary
criteria on a grading scale
ranging from "poor" to "super­ior."
The Cardinal's scores under the
four main headings were:
News Value and Sources ... .. 200
News Writing and Editing .... 230
Headlines, Typography and
Makeup .................. 250
Department Pages and
Special Features ...... . ... 2:15
Total Score ................. 915
Each main heading is further
broken down into two sub-groups
which deals with/ virtually all
aspects of journalism. Under no
heading did The Cardinal receive
a grade below "very good.'' Top
honors on the paper went to the
Sports Department which led all
others by scoring "excellent"
across ·the board.
International Atmosphere
Most of the president's con­versation
is sprinkled with an in­ternational
atmosphere, probably
due to his recent work in Ger­many.
He is in favor of interna­tional
exchange of students 100
percent and expressed his recog­nition
of the "need for both facul­ty
and students for foreign con-tacts."
· ·
Experience Major Contribution
A major contribution to this be­lief
is an experience he had in
Germany; of a list of exchange
students that had studied in the
U. S. before the war, Dr. Taylor's
department was able to contact
24. Of that number it was dis­covered
that not one was a mem­ber
of the Nazi party and that all
were definitely pro-Ally. Tv.enty
of the number had been dismissed
from their positions by the Nazis;
several had been put in conce:1-
tration camps for underground
activity.
As to immediate plans, the
president refused to make a
definite statement, explaining
that he was not yet well enough
acquainted with conditions here
and would have to spend some
time studying the University be-

Delta Sigma, the oldest Fra­ternity
on the University of Lou­isville
campus has petitioned, and
has been granted a charter by the
Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity.
The Delts will celebrate their
'going national' at an informal
dance tomorrow n i g h t at the
Henry Clay Hotel.
More than 150 fellow 'Sig Eps'
will be on hand at the initiation
exercises at the Brown Hotel Fri­day
and Saturday and all will. be
guests of the new 'Beta' U. of L.
chapter at a banquet preceding
the dance.
Glam«ous History
Initiating teams will be on hand
frOm· the Universities of Kentuc­ky,
Purdue, Tennessee, I.ndiana,
and maJJY other chaptera .irom
Universities in this section.
The history of the -Delts reads
like a glamorous adventure story
since • its -stormy beginning in
1919, up to the preserit day.
Ot·ganized when fraternities
were non-existent and "taboo''
at the University, the original
founders were forced to conduct
the early meetings sub-rosa, and
they tagged the name "Delphian
Society" to their new born fra­ternity.
Help Establish Cardinal
In 1922, Delta Sigma petitioned
the University to allow them to
use U. of L.'s name for the Delts'
football team. That was the be­ginning
of the pigskin sport at
Louisville, and through the years,
a large majority of Delts have
been leading athletes.
Through the efforts oi Delta
Sigma, THE CARDINAL, the
official student publication was
established in 1922.
Delta Sig was forced to become
inactive in the early months of
World W'ar II as the complete
membership was called to th{
Service.
However,-in November, 1945,
twelve returning veterans, who
were members before the start of
hostilities, petitioned the School
Council to reactivate the chapter.
By December, the group had
grown to an active membership of
35, and once again became prom­inent
on the campus.
Recen,ly elected officers of the
new Sigma Phi Epsilon Chapter
include Vince Lococo, reelected
president; Ray 'DUtch' Bruenig,
viee-prceident; Bill Lippy, Treaa-urer
· Tom Shively, Historian; Bob
Panther, s:Cretary; Gene Roberts,
