Lucy Brice, who was chosen
for the lead in the Little Theater
play "Years Ago", has resigned
her part as Ruth Gordon Jones
because of illness.
Taking her place in the pro­duction
is Shirley Pontrich, who
has had experience in the previ­ous
Little Theater plays, "Our
Time" and ",Julius Caesar." This
fall Shirley also had the role as
the daughter in "Papa Is All",
a Catholic Guild presentation.
! Shirley's love and ability for

The only thing that worries
Shirley is the long continuous
speeches of Ruth Gordon Jones.
"I just hope I can learn all my

Convocation Commemorates ~irthday
Of Late Ju.sti.ce Louis D. Brandeis
At ceremonies held in the Play­house
last Friday during a special
convocation, the 91st birthday of
the late Supreme Court Justice,
Louis D. Brandeis was commem­orated
by the University of Louis­ville
Zionist Organization.
Speaking in honor of the famed
American jurist were Law School
Dean A. C. Russell, Board of
Trustees member Jm;eph Sellig­man,
and Dr. Joseph Rauch, form­er
University trustee.
Using the "Brandeis Brief" as
an example, Russell and Sellig­man
pointed out the various
methods · that made the famous
justice a great and honored man.
Remarking on Brandeis' con­tributions
to humanity, Rauch
told of Brandeis' many humane
qualities that aided him such a
great deal in his legal decisions.
Also speaking on the progr·am
was Miss Angiola Siracussa, rep­resentative
for the World Student
Service Fund, who made a plea
for funds and books tb · aid the
various students of other coun­tries.

Anniversary Dinner
Not being content witlran al­ready
overcrowded Homecoming
schedule, Sigma Chi Sigma fra­ternity
is planning its twenty­fifth
anniversary festivities to
coincide with the busy week end.
One little known story of Navy
engineers who design such dry-_
land structures as roads, churches,
hospitals and public utility plants
was the theme of a speech given
by Commander A. C. Husband,
CEC, USN, at Speed School
Thursday, Nov. 13.
Here to recruit officers for the
Navy's Civil Engineer Corps,
Commander _ Husband told the
Dr. Woerner Here
Dr. Charles A. Woerner, Asst.
Professor of Anatomy at Medical
School, recently delivered a paper
at the American Society for the
Study of Arteriosclerosis meet­ing.
His paper was concerned with
the '·ContinuouS intraveinous in­jection
of fluids into animals and
the subsequent chanees in the
pancreas and liver."
Dr. Woerner, who graduated
from the University of Chicago
Medical School where he studied
under Dr. R. R. Bensley, came to
the Louisville Medical School this
past September. Previous to this
time he was connected with the
Long Island Medical School iD

future engineers that no engi-neering
career offered more var­iety
of engineering experience,
more responsibility for young en­gineers,
or higher pay.
To many it was a surprise to
learn that the officers who• di­rected
the wartime work of the
Scebees have responsibility for
designing, constructing, and main­taiiling
all of the buildings and ·
facilities of the Navy on shore.
- "We are primarily concerned,"
said Commander-Husband, "W:it~
recruiting officers for the C1v1l
Eoiineer Corps who are interest­ed
in the professional aspects of
engineering and who are chal­lenged
by the variety and respon­sibility
entailed in the Navy's
shore construction. The college
man whose sole interest . is in
playing the financial angles is of
little uee to us." •
At the same time..._ he pointed
out that when allowances. income
tax ·lldvantages, retirement pay
and other hidden items are added
to the base pay of a junior officer
in the CEC, the total salary com­pares
favorably with the best
which private industry offers.
The fraternity, second oldest at
the University of Louisville, act­ually
had its twenty fifth birth­day
lut · year but, due to war­time
conditions and the number
of members still in service, cele­bration
of the quarter-centennial
was postponed.
High point of the celebration
will be a. banquet at 7:00 this eve­ning
at the Pendennis Club.
Speaker at the dinner will be Mr.
Charles Farnsley of the Board of
Trustees, an alumnus of the chap­ter.
Also at the table of honor
will be Brothers Lawrence Lee
Howe, History professor, and Guy
Stevenson, Head of the Depart­ment
of Mathematics at this Uni­versity.
Also on the agenda for the Sig
Chi Sigs is a pre game luncheon
sponsored by the Mother's Club
and attendence at the Homecom­ing
dance by both alums and un­dergraduates.

floats sponsored by Campus fratefnities and sororities, and more
than 100 decorated cars. Several deep secrets are listed as surprises
for the parade.
Last year's was the first par­ade
since the war. The Sigma
Kappa's won the float parade and
the Triangles' house was judged
the best dressed house on the
campus. This year the Red Birds

Born of P olish parents in Len­ingrad,
Russia, 51-year old Mora
has been active in international
business since the age of 13, when
he began assisting his fath er in
the Russian General Electric Com­pany,
affiliated with the Ameri­can
General Electric Company.
During this period was the begin­ning
of his complete devotion of
America.
At one time when Mora was an
assistant to a geologist at a copper
mine, developed by his fatheF in
Naukat, Turkestan, he rode horse-­back
28,000 miles roaming the
wilds of Central Asia in search of
mineral deposits. .
Pallas Club, which organized
here in 1931, is composed of senior
women who are elected to mem­bership
because of their superior
scholarship and their prominence
in campus activities.
-The main projects of P allas
Club have been sponsoring the
Joe Steiger Drive for a scholarship
fund and making the Freshman
Award to the outstanding fresh­man
woman who has exhibited
during her first year those quali­fications
for which the club
stands. The members of the club
visit local high schools to give
guidance to senior gir Is, assist in
counseling at registration and also
support other projects for the wel­fare
of the college.
The present members of the
Pallas Club are Martha Roberts,
president; Janie Slaughter, sec­retary
and treasurer; Hi 1 d a

At half-time during the U. of L.­Washington
University Home­coming
game on November 22,
the newly-uniformed University
of Louisville band will formally
introduce the University's brand
new Alma Mater. Band Leader
Ernest E. Lyon, commenting on
the occasion, stated.
"The University of Louisville
will be 150 years old in February.
The student body and adminis­trators
thought that something
should be done about bringing the
Alma Mater up to date. The new
song may be considered as being
a part of ihe University's plans
for progress."
The need for a new Alma Mater
was recognized three years ago.
A contest was held among Uni­versity
of Louisville students and
several selections for a new song
were submitted. Three offerings
were finally chosen for voting. At
the same University convocation
at which Dr. John W. Taylor was
introduced to the student body as
its new President, he three f~al
entries were played and sung by
the University band. Voting
proved the winner to be a 16-1
favorite.
The words for 1 the new Alma

which period he was assistant
manager of the Moscow Ordnance
Works, Mora came to the United
States, and in 1919 he became
purchasing agent for Poland in
the States as special partner of
A. H. Martens and Co., Canadian
bankers, where he remained until
1925. From 1925 until 1929 he was

The breakdown also gave posi­tive
indication that the veteran .
enrollment is beginning to wane.
This year in Freshman Composi­tion
47 per cent of the 869 were
veterans while last year 70 per
cent of the 1177 were. In Sopho­more

Queen In Theatre
Joyce Greweling, lovely U. of
L. Homecoming Queen, is "hold­ing
the book" for the Little The­atre
production of "Ye8J1 Ago".
Last Wednesday she even directed
practi<',.e while Director Martin
was out of town.
She tried out for a speaking
part in the play but was too tall
in proportion to the rest of the
cast-U. of L. is following the
trend for taller beauties--eo she
was given the job of prompter
and won't appear on stage.
"I picked her before she was
elected", said Boyd Martin, "but
when I pick 'em, they are usually
elected queen or IIOJI1ethiDI, so
I'm not IIUl'pl'iaed.."
Mater were written by John
N. Young, an Arts and Sciences
student of the Class of 1948. The
music was composed by James
Powell, who graduated from he
Speed Scientific School 1 a s t
Spring. Both Young and Powell
were members of the University
of Louisville band. Composer
Powell, now residing in Canton,
Ohio, is expec-ted to return to the
University for the Homecoming
celebration, and will take part in
the half-time ceremonies at the
game, at which time he and young
will be awarded prizes of $50
each.
The prizes will be awarded by
President Taylor, who said.
"Young and P owell will long
be remembered by students and
graduates of the University of
Louisville. They are both ~ine
musicians. It will be a pleasure
to award the prizes to two such
deserving young men."
Band Leader Lyon stated that,
at the time the vote was cast for
t h e winning composition, he
couldn't see how Young and
Powell could lose, due to the fact
that the second choice of the con­vocation
voters was also written
and composed by the same team
of musicians.·
An unusual feature of the new
Alma Mater is that a special set
of words, written by Young, have
been dedicated as the Alumni
Alma Mater, to be sung to the
same tune.
Dr. Caligari Plays
To Packed House
At Theatre, Speed
"The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari,"
which was shown at noon Wed­nesday,
November 12, at the P lay­house
and that night in the Speed
Auditorium to packed houses is
considered to be one of the best
pyschological movies ever made.
Directed by Robert Wiene, it was
first released in Berlin Marmor­haus,
February, 1920. The original
story was written by Hans J ano­witz
and Carl Mayer whose liter­ary
collaboration was established
by their common hatred of war
and authoritarianism. Mayer, an
Austrian, has been subject to re­peated
psychiatric examinations.
Janowitz, an infantry officer,
turned to pacifism after his ex­perience
in the military machine
which sent millions of men to
death.
Caligari, played by Werner
Krauss, is a psychiatrist and hy­pnotist
who uses his power for
murderous purposes. He aRpears
to be the central figure in a mad
fantasy of an insane asylum. An
expressionistic background, com­bined
with oblique and varied
lighting effet:ts, is used to height­en
the idea of evil and madness.
His powers to murder are used
through the medium of a somnam­bulist,
Cesare, who is played by
Conrad Veidt. Caligari's sadistic
work kills three people including
Cesare. This loss soon drives Cali­gari
insane. The movie ends with
the heroine, the hero, and Dr.
Caligari in the insane asylum
which is now being run by a­nother
man who strongly resem­bles
the former Dr. Caligari.
The Golem. another m o v i e
shown, was first made in 1915
and remade later in 1920. Paul
Wegener produced both versions
from a script by Hendrick Galeen.
Only one reel of this seven reel
film was shown in the program.
The trophies for both events
will be awarded Saturday after­noon
betwee nhalves at the game.
At noon, a luncheon for all
former lettermen will be held in
the Student Union. More than 300
"L" winners are expec\fd to at­tend
the gathering. Tom King,
coach of the Cardinals from 1925
to 1930, and Laurie Apiz, mentor
for six years from 1937, will re­turn
as honor guests for this or ..r ·~
casion. --...- c•
The homecoming game begins

are one of the toughest teams in

in prospect. A sellout crowd of
