Mayor Farnsley Defends
His 'Half-Soled' Street_s
In Pre-Election Debate
Who gets the short end of the tax return-Louisville or Jefferson
County-was a lively issue at a political program held in the SUB
auditorium on Thursday of last week.
Democratic M a y o r Charles
Farnsley and Republican County
Judge Miles Thacker tangled
over the question after each had
earlier presented his party's plat­form
in the City-County elec­tion.
Sponsored by the Political
Arena, the program was designed
to give U. of L. students an op­portunity
to hear both the Dem­ocratic
and Republican positions.
. Rees Dickson, Republican can­didate
for mayor, and B. L.
Shamburger, Democratic candi­date
for County Judge, were also
slated for appearance, but were
unable to attend. Dickson, how­ever,
was represented by Jouett
Ross- Todd, Republican national
committeeman for Kentucky.
Philosophies Defended
Thacker pointed to the past
four-year record of the Republi­can
County administration as his
campaign platform. Declaring
that he favors activity in ,govern­ment,
he cited modernization of
the County fire department as
examples of Republican efficien­cy.
City vs. County
The City-County tax debate
was sparked by students ques­tions.
Asked why the City is
beyond its budget, while the
County is not, Farnsley declared
that the city is not beyond its
budget. The county, he said
taxes City residents, but the City
cannot tax County residents.
"The County balances its bud­get
with City people's money,"
Farnsley said. "It's a cinch." ~
To this Thacker replied vehe­mently.
DEBBY BLAIR, 1949 HOMECOMING QUEEN
The Beef Session is here to
stay, Farnsley declared, no mat­ter
who wins. To the overtones
of a juke-box in another part
of the SUB he defended his poli­cy
of "half-sole" paving of city
streets, which has been derided
by Republicans. Farnsley said he
originally got the idea from the
Republican County administra­tion.
Louisville, he stated, is a
"poor city" and cannot afford
elaborate street reconstruction.
Neither, he said, can the city
make any promises of financial
aid to the University.
"Let me answer that" he said.
"The City is part of the County.
I maintain that there should be
no separation between City and
County. We're all one communi­ty."
Homecoming Qu_een Stays Busy
Homecoming Queen Debbie
Blair has been a busy girl for the
past week, even though her of­ficial
duties as Queen haven't yet
begun.
The whirl of events began last
Thursday afternoon, November
3, when Debbie attended the
University Asociates' meeting at
the Pendennis Club. That night
she and her court went to the
meeting of the Junior Chamber
of Commerece at the Seelbach
Hotel.
Last Saturday at 12:30 found
Debbie at the American Associa­tion
of University Women's
luncheon at the Woman's Club.
Saturday night slie aitended the
Phi Chi formal dance.
N R 0 T C Installs
Radar Equipment
A skilled crew of technicians
arrived last Monday from Great
Lakes, Illinois, to begin the in­stallation
of $120,000 worth of ra­dar
instruments in the Naval
Science Armory.
Included in the equipment are
special types of radar instruments
called Loran gear, designed pri­marily
for long range navigation.
Previous to the arrival of the
new equipment, the intricate ra­dar
instruction was derived sole­ly
from text books. The suple­menting
epuipmel")~ will not only
facilitate the teaching but also
make the midshipmen's lessons
more interesting and edifying.
The Naval Science Center, al­ready
one of the best equipped in
the nation, is rapidly becoming
one of the university's most in­teresting
showplaces. With the
new installations, its graduating
mid~hipmen will rank second. to
none in a well-rounded back­eround.
'Red Shoes' Baclc

The Crescent Theater is offer­ing
a special ticket rate to the
students of the University of Lo­isville
for the week of Novem­ber

The management of the theater
is bringing back to Louisville for
that week the world renowned
The Red Shoes. This movie, be­cause
of its cultural and literary
valpe, will be available to the
University students for $1.00.
Regular tickets will sell for from
$1.20 to $2.40.

at the box office of the
theater.

The Lion's Club members hon­ored
Debbie as their special guest
at a meeting held last Tuesday
night in the Brown Hotel.
Yesterday morning at 10:00 o'­clock
the Queen and her court
appeared on Kaufman-Straus'
Coffee Call program at Dunroven
Inn. At 12:15 Debbie had a lunch­eon
date with the Optimist Club.
This morning at 8:00 o'clock
the Queen completed her pre­Homecoming
activities at the 235
Club for the Elk!; Club Alumni
reunion.
Debbie has been accompanied
on all her social engagements by
Mrs. :erakmeier, of the Physical
Education Department who- is in
charge of the Queen's activities.
Todd attacked Farnsley's phi­losophy
of government as one
that will limit individual oppor­tunity.
Characterizing it as a
16-year old theory of "tax and
tax, spend and spend, elect and
elect" he said it penalizes the
strong to look after the weak.
· "To live within our income is
the Republican philosophy of
gsvernment" he stated ~ in answer
to a question.
Woodcock Society
Hears About Italy
From Mr. Gi I bert
Highlighting the election of the
Woodcock Society, honorary a­lumni
organization, held recent­ly
was a talk on the various as­pects
of life in. Italy today by
Mr. Creighton Gilbert of the Uni­versity
faculty.
Mr. Gilbert spent the past
summer in that country and was
able to point · out the many
changes in Italian life that have
occured since the war.
Basketball Game Planned
For Faculty vs. Dorm Gals
The winners of the ,Woodcock
Freshman, Sophomore and Junior
Awards were announced as: El­mer

Weisert; vice-president, Mrs.
Ethel Threkeld; rec. secretary,
Mrs. Frances Dunaway; corr.
secretary, Miss Emily Spradlin;
directors, Miss Mary S. Dureson
and Mr. Leonard Brecher.
There's the Russian question; there's the problem of how to
handle the atom bomb; and there's the nerve-shattering puzzle to
be resolved p ending the outcome of the basketball game between
the women's faculty and occupants of Robbins Hall.
Monday, November 7, at 12
noon in ' front of the SUB, repre­sentatives
from Robbins H.:Jl is­sued
a challenge to the effect:
Hear Ye Hear Ye
The Robbinettes of Robins Hall Chal­lenges
the Women's Faculty to a game
of basketball.
Your intelligence in the classroom is
personified but your athletic prowness
you sure do hide!
An Olympic team we do not boast
So please accept- this challenge and we'll
be your host.
The faculty, headed by Dean
of Women, Hilda Threlkeld, have
accepted the challege issued by
Robbins H a 11 representatives
Ruth Hartshaw, Sarah Bewley,
and Marcia Klein.
On campus students were quick
to take sides. Kenny Reeves,
and Glenn "Ish" Combs, co-cap­tains
of U. of L.'s basketball
team expressed their oppinions
on the matter. Says Reeves:

Dr. Hassold Speaks
At I R C Meeting
Dr. Ernest C. Hassold, head of
the Humanities Department,
gave a rief, informative sketch
of contemporary Germany at the
first meeting of the International
Relations Club held October 2 in
the Playhouse.
Having spent more than a year
in Germany as a representative
of the American government, Dr.
Hassold found it possible to touch
only the main points of his ob­servations.
He commented on
German atmosphere, politics and
human relations.
A new spirit and outlook was
manifested in Germany this year,
according to Dr. Hassold. He cited
the lifting of the Berlin airlift
and the arrival of the "new look"
in womens' clothes as indications
of progress.
The currency reform, in Dr.
Hassold's opinion, has been the
major political development of
late, and he pointed out that it
would provide a basis for all new
endeavor. •
He further noted that human
relations, formerly strained by
the de-nazification trials, are im­proving,
with the greatest prob­lem
being unjust German de­nunciations
of one another. Ques­tioned
as to the status of anti­Semitism
in German Dr. HaSiold
said: " I have to first ask, " do
you \mean amoDI Germana or
ADiericaDIT"
"Beauty over Brains-Robbins
Hall 2 to 1." But on1 the other
hand Combs declares, "If you
stick with the brains you're li­able
to wi~ out in the long run­score
Faculty 20, Robbins Hall 15.
Kay Hardy, Editor of The
Thoroughbred states, "Robbins
Hall for the spirit and energy of
youth with it. But the faculty
has so much experience and abil­ity
to dodge issues that it might
be a tossup. However, Robbins
Hall still with that spirit should
be able to rake-up 18 to the facul­ty's
15."
The proceeds of the game will
be used for the purchasing of
furnishings for Robbins Hall. The
game will be played Thursday
evening, Dec.l, at 7:30 in the
U. of'L. gymnasium~
U-L Women's Cluo
Sponsors Dinner
The University of Louisville
Women's Club will sponsor an
all-university faculty dinner in
the Terrace Room of the Ken­tucky
Hotel Wednesday, Novem­ber
16, at 7:00 p.m.
The turkey dinner is being
given for the faculty and their
respective husbands and wives,
Dr. John W. Taylor, president of
the university, will speak to the
group during the dinner. There
will be dancing until midnight
after the banquet.
Tickets for the affair may be
procured in the Dean of Women's
office. The charge is three dol­lars
per person.
HOMECOMING GREETINGS FROM THE PRESIDENT
Each year, Homecoming gets a little bigger and a little more
enthusiastic; I feel that represents a decided increase in school
spirit on the part of the students at the University of Louisville.
Certainly it is an indication that we are becoming more Uni­versity
conscious each year and that more of our students are
actively participating in the round of events that comprise the
Homecoming celebration.
I am happy to see that more and more of our Alumni are
returning to flie University campus each year. And it is to
the Alumni that we should make that extra effort-to show
thein what we are trying to do to make our school better each
year.
Neither the University administration nor the faculty alone
can make our Alumni feel at home-it is really the student
body which can make Homecoming an event which will ever
grow in size and spirit. It is a source of inspiration to me to see
the students taking hold more than ever to make a bigger and
better celebration.
It is not just in the fact that more fraternity and sorority
houses are decorated each year, or that the Homecoming pa- ·
·rade is longer and the floats cleverer each year-rather, it is
that the students are participating more actively in every event .
which makes the whole effect that much more representative
of the true spirit of "coming home." ·
I am sure that all of you know that the University admini­stration
is heartily in favor of anything that makes our Univer­sity
a more pTeasant place to attend, and that Homecoming has
our full support and cooperation.
Welcome home, old grads, and a Happy Homecoming to
everybody!

Cards and Bears Tangle
For Third Straight Year
By JERRY FITZGERALD
As part of the Ho.necoming celebration tomorrow, the Univer­sity's
fraternities and sororities will declare "open-house," but the
Cardinal Eleven may have to do th:ir en tertaining in a "hot-house."
When they play host to 'Vashington U. of St. Louis tomoJTow after­noon
at 2:00 in .\1anual Stadium, their Homecoming may turn into
a steamy "house-warming."
In the p ast, the meeting of the .\tid-Western Conference con­tenders
and the newly-independent Cardinals has al\\'ays been a
torrid affair. In 1947, the first friction between the two teams, the
Cards roasted the Bears with a flaming 33-20 victory. But last sea­son
the Bears reversed the ccl\.m t, in an equally sizzling game, 27-12.
With b oth of the nearly evenly-matched teams sb·iving to unbalance
the record to their own favor, .\lanual Stadium should be nothing
short of an incinerator.
COACH CAMP
I PAD Gives Supper I
Phi Delta Legal Fraternity of
the Law School is giving a buffet
supper in the Rainbow Room .of
the Henry Clay Hotel Saturday,
November 12 after the Homecom­ing
football game from 4:30 to
9:30 P.M. for its members and
alumni. All PAD alumni, whether
from the U. of L. or any other
school, are cordially invited to
attend.
Silent Frank Camp, the Cardi­nal
mentor, expects this game to
be a battle of the two lines.
Since the Bears rely on defense
more than they do on offense,
Camp has been grooming his of­fensive
platoon to a luster that
will outshine even the better
played games of the season. (Ed.
Note: Complete Cardinal lineup
and data on page 5.)
Powerful Defense ·
The Bears, undefeated in seven
games, have been hotter this sea­son
than a Mexican election. In
these seven games they amassed a
total of 136 points to their oppon­ents
meager 72, while holding four
of the teams scoreless.
Two weeks ago, the Cards' as­sistant
coach Clark Wood scouted
Washington in their game with
Colorado College, in which the
Bears triumphed 27-0. Wood re­ported
that the Bears had an ex­ceptionally
good line, particularly
strong at the end positions and
only a fair backfield. Although
they don't compare offensively
to Xavier or Miami, they have a
defensive team capable of stop­ping
either of those two teams.
Succeeding "Weeb" Ewhank
who is now with the Cleveland
Browns, a pro team, Irwin "Utz"
Uteritz is in his first season as
head coach of the Bears. For the
past two seasons he had been
chief-lieutenant and scout under
Ewbank. Stressing the T-forma­tion,
Uteritz seems to be an early
success as a coach. He is fortunate

KA Charioteers
Renew Challenge
We, Knights of the Kappa Al­pha
Order, fully aware by past
performances of our outstanding
superiority in the art of chariot
racing, do hereby challenge the
so-called Greeks, of dubious legit­imacy,
known as Wandering
Greeks, to a race by means of
the aforementioned chariots.
This race shall be run during
the half of the Evansville game,
and shall be performed by means
of two relay teams, consisting of
four members each.
The first teams will pull the
chariots from one goal line to
the other, at this point the
second teams will take over and
travel back to the starting point.
The judges shall be of the usual
Mutt and Jeff variety, dressed
as obscenely and stupidly as has
been the custom in the past.
Th~ outcome of this race is
already obvious to us of Kappa
Alpha, yet (regrettably) we must
once a,ain prove our superiority
to the student body.
