Sarah Bewley, Al Kaiz, Jim Gun­ther,
and Beverly Crady.
Fluting By Chris Stone
The two Fragments, rby the au­thor
of the much-discussed Cock­tail
Party, are in verse and are to
be done in a highly e~pression­istic
manner. The cast is made up
of Christie Hassold, Marcella
Martin, George Morrison, Allan
Davidofsky, Joseph McCall, and
Jim Henderson. Bob White is the
director.
The play by Mr. Stone, who
teaches playwriting at the Uni­versity
of Louisville, is a folk
comedy dealing with the adven­tures
of Lemuel Skaggs, the bun­yanesque
"fine pretty whittier" of
the Ozarks. Warren Oates is di­recting
the play.
The cast includes Joe Craft,
Ludie DeSpain, Charlie McDan­iel,
J oyce Calloway, Roy Hargis,
Pete DeWilde, Harold Stucker,
Clay Morgan, John Mattingly, J .
T. Bailey, Jim Henderson, Wally
Harrington, and Mike Fahey. Bob
French has arranged the folk
music to be used in the play and
Chris Stone will provide the
devil's fluting.
Rembrandt Etching
Given To U. of L.
A Rembrandt etching, "The
Descent from th.e Cross", has re­cently
been given to the Univer­sity
of Louisville by Morris B.
Belknap Jr., president of the Art
Center Association.
This print, done in 1654, is un­like
most of Rembrandt's work
in that it exists in only one state.
Dr. Justus Bier, of the University
Fine Arts Department of the Uni­versity,
describes the etching as
very characteristic of Rembrandt
in its use of light and dark and
"is really an important work in
Rembrandt's total work."
Mr. Belknap purchased thE;
print for the University from an
exhibition of Rembrandt etchings
displayed in the University li­brary
rotunda in January.
The etching is considered to be
a particularly valuable addition
because of the weakness of the
collection of older prints as com­pared
to 19th and 20th century
prints. i'
Mr. Belknap has made many
contributions to the art depart­ment
of the University of Louis­ville.
In addition to his numerous
donations to the University print
collection, he has completely fur­nished
the art library, turnea
over the greater part of his own
library to the University, fur­nished
and equipped the art lec­ture
room, and purchased and
furnished the building now used
by the Art Center Association.
Delta Phi Alpha
Honors Three Men
At Annual Banquet
The German Fraternity, Delta
Phi Alpha, has awarded honorary
certificates to three men at a ban­quet
held on February 24 in the
Seelbach Hotel.
Dr. Broderius presented the
certificates of merit to W. G.
Frank, Executive Vice President
of American Air Filter; Hans
Kuppenheim, in · charge of the
medical laboratories at F o r t
Knox; and Dr. A. Krebs, bio-phy­.
sicist at Fort Knox. These three
men have distinguished them­selves
in theiF chosen fields.
Dr. Westphal was the chief
speaker for the evening. T·he sub­ject
of his talk was "Dead Matter
and Living Hour". Other speakers
were Drs. Leonard Koester and
John Weisert of the Modern Lan­guage
Department.
The banquet was in celebration
of the Tenth Anniversary of the
Beta Upsilon Chapter of Delta
Phi Alpha, which Dr. Koester
founded in 1940.
Pep Awards Given
To TKE And Chi 0
The Pep Club sponsored Cardi­nal
Booster Awards for '49-'50
were presented to Chi Omega and
Tau Kappa Epsilon last Saturday
night at the North Carolina State
game. The competitive awards
were made on the basis of game
attendance by the various organi­zations.
At halftime Coach Bernard
Hickman, making the presenta­tion,
noted that the fraternities
and sororities are solidly behind
the team in this time of a grow­ing
sports program. The Booster
Award is intended as a reward
to those groups active in the sup­port
of University athletics.
The Awards themselves were
handsome trophies of about nine­teen
inches high, inscibed to the
winning organization. If any one
organization wins the trophy for
three consecutive years, it be­comes
the permanent property of
that organization.
Mrs. Sherrill Bra k meier,
spokesman for the Pep Club, tab­ulated
the scores which gave the
Awards to Chi 0 and TKE. Each
group got one point credit for
each student ticket and two
points for each guest ticket bought
by its members. "It was unfortu­nate,"
said Mrs. Brakmeier, "that
the members did not always re­port
and get credit for their tick­et
purchases."
Accepting the Awards from
Coach Hickman were Mary Ann
Brewer for Chi Omega and Harcy
White for Tau Kappa Epsil•m.
Engineer's Ball
To Be In March
The annual Engineer's Ball of
Speed Scientific School will be
held this year on Friday, March
24. ·The music will be furnished
by Frank Bluel and his orches­tra
and the scene will ·be the Ma­drid
Ballroom.
Again this year the feature at­traction

Today. a composite movie of cap­tured
Ger-man film and U. S.
Army film, will be presented for
one showing in · the Student
Union Building at 8:00 p.m. Mon­day,
February 27. Alpha Phi
Omega is sponsoring the program.
The film is somewhat of a his­torical
document tracing the Ger­man
Empire from the Munich
Beer Halls to the fall and trial of
the Nazi Regime. A great portion
of the picture shows the atrocities
committed by the Nazis during_
the war and was used as evidence
against them in the recent ,war
criminal trials.
The film, released by the Pen­tagon,
has ,been well received all
over the country. The photo­gmphy
.is said to be very good
considering it was not done in
Hollywood.
No admission will be charged
by APO for the showing.
Charles Weidman
Dancers To Appear
At Halleck Hall
Mr. Charles Weidman, who is
recognized as one of the most im­portant
figures in American Con­cert
Dance, will bring his dance
group to Halleck Hall Auditorium
on Wednesday evening, March 8.
The performance is being spon­sored
by the Louisville Dance
Council, of which Miss Estelle
Volin, of the Physical Education
Department, is chairman.
A brilliant choreographer as
well as soloist, Mr. Weidman has
created more than one hundred
compositions. Many of these,
t.b.Qugh $.e~in theme,. are hu­morous
ill treatment since Mr.
Weidman believes that the dance
should "amuse, e!ltertain, and
astonish" audiences as well as
arouse them. Of his work John
Martin, New York Times critic,
has said that "there is nothing
finer, either in this country or
Europe."
Mr. Weidman has been prev­iously
associated w i t h Doris
Humphrey, whom he first met in
the dance company of Ruth St.
Denis and Ted Shawn. Following
a period of study at the Deni­shawn
School in California, they
became featured soloists and tour­ed
with that company in America
and the Orient.
In 1947, Mr. Weidman was
awarded a Guggenheim Fellow­ship
with which he <;reated his
new ballet, "Fables For Our
Time", based on James Thurber's
stories. At present he is chore­ographer
for the New York Cen­ter
Opera Company. ·
Tickets for the performance
may be procured at Shackleton's,

Little Theater
Will Present
Jeffers' Play
Dr. L. M. Birkhead Is Main Speaker
At Brotherhood Week Convo Today
In the Playhouse, on Monday
evening, March 20, the Louisville
Little Theater Company will pre­sent
its eagerly awaited produc­tion
of the famous Greek tragedy
Medea.
In the demanding title role will
be Mrs. Wray Cooper, who has
had a great deal of professional
e~erience, although she has been
seen only once before on the Play­house
stage, in Dear Brutus of the
'48-'49 season.
James Driscoll will play the
part of Jason Medea's unfaithful
spouse. Others in the cast are:
Mrs. Kathryn Wheeler, Frank
Leo, Charles McDaniel, Francis
Vick, and, as the women of Co­rinth-
Bettie Hunn, Linda Lee
and Mrs. Allen Clark.
The version of Medea which the
Little Theater is using is the 'free'
translation done •by Robinson Jef­fers
for Judith Anderson a couple
of years ago. It was presented on
Broadway where it ran for a sur·
Prisingly long time, probably be­cause
Miss Anderson's portrayal
of Medea was a violent and pow­erful
piece of acting.
Wayne Designed Set
"Pop" Martin, Little Theater di­rector,
hopes that University stu­dents,
as well as faculty members,
will offer the support upon which
the. success of the production de­pends.
George Weinman, formerly
stage manager at the Playhouse,
has resigned, and Dick Rivers,
with Jim Gunther as his assistant,
is taking over the difficult task of
set construction. Rollo Wayne has
designed for Medea, a single set­ting
that should be one of his most
impressive.
Tickets may be purchased at
the ·Little T.heater box office be­ginning
Thul\Sday, March 16. Gen­eral
admission is $1.80 per person.
students may purchase a ticket
book for $1.00, which will en,title
them to a seat for this presenta­tion
and also :the next Little
· Theater offering.
Delta Sigma Theta
Holds Brotherhood
Recognition Dinner
"I think there is a reservoir of
good will and brotherhood that is
just beginning to show itself in
the face of pressure today," said
Dr. Rufus Clement at a "brother­hood
recognition dinner" last Fri­day
night at Kunz' Restaurant.
Dr. Clement is president of At­lanta
University, the second larg­est
Negro university in the coun­try.
He was Dean of Louisville
Municipal College from 1931 until
1937.
Dr. Clement went on to say
that, "a truly educated person rec­ognizes
racial and religious dif­ferences
but also has the highest
respect for human dignity."
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority
sponsored the dinner as a means
of recognizing groups other than
their own which have some of the
same ideals as their group. The
dinner also served as a preface to
Brotherhood Week.
Students Are Honored
Two groups from the University
of Louisville were invited for rec­ognition.
Sam Stumbo, president
of the Kentucky-Tennessee Re­gion
of the National Student As­sociation,
and Bettie Speicher,
representing the Independent Wo­men
and the Cardinal, gave short
resumes of the work their organ­izations
have done toward remov­ing
intolerance and promoting
brotherhood.
The list of speakers included
Mr. Arthur Kling, president of
Americans for Democratic Action,
Mr. Harry Schacter, president of
Committee for Kentucky, and
Mrs. Emma C. Clement, American
Mother of 1946 and mother of Dr.
Clement.
Louise Kain Will Appear
WithLouisvilleOrchestra
By GEORGE SIMMONS
"Being authenic is just the opposite of being dull" was the com­ment
of Louise Kain, charming wife of Dr. Richard M. Kain of
the English Department, who has been engaged to appear with the
Louisville Orchestra on the March 1 and 2 concerts at Columbia
Auditorium as harpsichord soloist.
She was referring to the fact
that the music of Bach which she
will play was written for and in­tended
to be played on the harp­sichord
and is therefore heard at
its best when expressed through
this medium.
Mrs. Kain will 1be the soloist in
Bach's "Concerto in F Minor for
MRS. LOUISE KAIN
Harpsichord and Orchestra" un­der
the direction of Robert Whit­ney.
The performance of this rarely
heard concerto is offered in com­memoration
of the bicentenary of
the death of the composer.
Through her playing Mrs. Kain
has won a large following among
Louisville music lovers. Her most
recent local appearance ~as last
April at the playhouse on Belknap
Campus when she and Dr. Kain
gave a joint lecture-recital on
"Court and Concert Hall of the
18th Century."
The "F Minor Concerto" has un­dergone
several transcriptions, but
next Wednesday evening and
Thursday afternoon Mrs. Kain
U-L Pan Americans
To Sponsor fiesta
All the glamor and color of a
Latin-American village at fiesta
time will be present Tuesday,
February 28, at 8:00 P. M. in the
SUB, when the Pan-American
Club of the University will spon­ser
a grand Fie~;ta, the profits
from which will be donated to
CARE.
The price of the tickets is 50
cents and they may be purchased
from any member of the Pan­American
Club, from the Inter­national
Center, .or at the door
the night of the Fiesta.
The program will feature a
dance display by the Idlias Court­ney
School of Dance.
and the orchestra will perform
the work as Bach originally wrote
it. Additional authenticity will be
given the performance by the fact
that the instrument on which Mrs.
Kain will play is an exact re­production
of one of Bach's favo­rite
harpsichords.
It was made for the soloist by
Pley_j!l, famed P a r i s instru­ment
manufacturers since 1797.
The harpsichord, believed to be
the only one in the · state of' Ken­tucky,
is eight feet long, weighs
BOO pounds, and, remarked Mrs.
Kain, "very hard to handle."
Mrs. Kain has played the harp­(

Test Equipment
Being Installed
In Sackett Hall
Several pieces of mechanical
engineering laboratory equipment
have recently been purchased for
the Speed Scientific School and
are now being installed in Sackett
Hall.
For use in the laboratories, a
package steam plant is being put
into operation. This is a full scale,
but small size, power plant de­signed
especially for laboratory
work. The plant consists of two
steam t1:1rbines, condensers, and
all the other components of a
modern power plant.
Also included is a complete set
of electrical control gear and a
switchboard simulating the ap­paratus
and protective devices
found in any industrial power
plant.
The principal purpose of the
equipment is to enable students to
acquire knowledge of power plant
operation, applications, and de­sign,
and also to learn the accept­ed
test procedures under actual
operating conditions. Soq1e fif­teen
separate experiments are
possible on the plant.
Sackett Hall has another addi­tion
in the new electrical ml)as­urements
laboratory. Here, stu­dents
can measure a variety of
electrical quantities using the
new apparatus. Among the new
measuring devices are very sensi­tive
galvanometers which use a
light beam to detect deflections.
The measurements are carried;
out by use of various bridge cir-.
cuits and about ten diHerent ex­periments
can be made, findini
such quantities as the resistance
of insulating materiall aDd the
hysteresis 101111 in alternating cur­rent
circuits.
Brotherhood Week will be observed by students of the Uni­versity
of Louisville at an official student convocation in the Play­house
at 10:00 a.m. this morning.

Portrait of William Bullitt
Is Unveiled At Law School
At a convocation for the University Thursday, February 16, b e­fore
a capacity audience in the Allen Courtroom of the Law School,
Mayor Charles P. Farnsley announced the presentation to the Law
School of a portrait of one of its most distinguished graduates, Mr.
William Marshall Bullitt, of the class of 1895.
In making t h e presentation
Mayor Farnsley described the
many services rendered the Uni­versity
by the Bullitt family since
its founding. He told of the full
and varied career of Mr. Bullitt
who was Solicitor-General of the
United States during the presi­dency
of William Howard Taft
and who is still a practicing mem­ber
of the bar. He has been prac­ticing
law for more than half a
century. _.
The portrait was unveiled by
Mr. Thomas Bullitt, son of the
benefactor, and was accepted on
behalf of the University aud the
Law School by Dean A. C. Russell.
Mr. Bullitt then spoke and rem­inisced
about his Law School days
when the course of study embrac­ed
a period of seven months, as
_opposed to the present three-year
curriculum. He urged the stu­dents
to take advantage of the
improvements made in the field
of legal education.
In addition to the portrait Mr.
Bullitt presented to the Univer­sity
the oldest doc:ument in exist­ence
bearinc on the origin of the
University.
Tbls document WBI subscribed
by a group of men, including Mr.
Bullitt's grandfather, shortly af­ter
the Kentucky Legislature had
granted some six thousand acres
of ground to the Jefferson Sem­inary.
This document, bearing the
date 1798, stated that each signer
agreed to donate a small sum of
money to the newly established
institution. It has been in the
Bullitt family for several genera­tions.
In accepting the document for
the University, President Taylor
annou11ced that it would be
framed and hung in the Admin­istration
Building along with
other important documents of the
