MONA THURSTON I have found the spring Prologue as exciting. to read as a national literary quarterly. The ratio of its quality tO: its finanCial support contrasts strongly with the ra~o I am familiar· with in student magazines elsewhere, which is a testimony to the taste alf~ hard. work of the editors- and ..t he spirited· seriousness of student writing . on this campus. The poetry in this issue hils ya.. · riety and poise. Carl Sclarenco, who is already publishing professionally, has a group ot four poems which display his lyric talent and his ability to assimilate, yet not oe overpowered by, contemporary influencei>. "Narc issus" and "Dialogue" are particularly fine pieces, showing awareness of the Wallace Stevens idiom. Lucia Rivers, who is new to the campus this year and who received first prize in the Poetry Conest, displays a high degree . of skill in handling metaphysical imagery. The fusion of. feeling with intellectual excitement she gets when she is at her best makes any weakness show up clearly. "Psychotherapeutic" seems uncertain in movement, too low in tension. Marianne Sights is a promising newcomer to the pages of Prologue, and her two poems point toward a further self-real ization in this medium. "The Plane" is the more uniformly successful, but both, in quiet imagery and a sometimes inhibited movement, have freshness and insight. Robert White appears again with his sophisticated experimental sonnets, and Joan Wood's poem, though it is uneven, is an attempt at a larger subject matter than she usually tackles. Of the three stories, Don Preston's "The City and the Rock" is the most ambitious in theme, dealing with the problem of the artist in society, or, taken in its broader implications, man as individual against man as standardized mass. There is integri·ty of handling in the slow, cumulative structure, though there is lack of sureness in style. ThiS is Mr. Preston's first appearance in Prologue. Hud<:Ott's '\\~irk PMi-ioaal Red Cross ·Gets Blood from frats Something n~w occurred in banking circles when groups from two fraternities-Delta Upsilon and Tau Epsfron Phi-made sub: stantial deposits in the. Red Cross Blood Bank on Tuesday evening, May •16. The bank held a Special early evening session for this very spe. cial occasion in the first university fraternity contribution to the new blood banking program. Time was when fraternities deposited at $25.00 a pint to relieve desperate financial situations, but members of DU and TEP gave up fifteen pints for · nothing except cookies and coffee. · Blood Bank officials expressed sincere appreciation of the gift. They only wish they could get more, for an average week just brings in about 500 pints of the needed 600. The Louisville Blood Bank supplies blood for .thirty-four hospitals operating within a 55-mile radius of Louisville absolutely free of charge. The Bank is located at 1347 South Third Street. It's office hours are from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. A group of thirty or more people can arrange for special evening hours by calling MA. 4001. Ten or Will Present Senior Voice Recital Benjamin Johnson, tenor, a student at the University of Louisville School of Music, will present his senior recital at Gardenco¢( May 31, at 8:30 p.m. The pUblic is invited.

Mr. Johnson, who is the pupil of Martha Graham Hill, will include in his program Schumann's "Widmung,'' "Die Stadt" by Schubert, MonteveiJde's "Lasciatemi mi morire,'' and selections by contemporary composers. to an· All-Medical Scho<11 convocation audience at the General Hospital Amphitheatre on May 18 that since the State• -is already contri}JUting some" money to the U· of L School of Medicine, •it could give more and sav~ the expense of building a new Medical School. · - ' "If the University of Kentucky did build a Medical School,'' he said, "if would cost not les!\ than 10 million dollars and closer to 20 million.;, The Medical School has been a subiect of controversy ev~r since President Donov11n of the University of Kentucky announced several months ago that either U of L could sell the school to U of K, or be faced with the competition of a new school built with state funds. "In certain sections of the State there is antagonism toward our Medical School because we can't take all the applicants,'' Dr. Kinsman said. "Naturally, the ones who sponsor the students are unhappy about this.'' Dr. William K. Keller, Professor of Psychiatry, opened the convocation with a humorous lecture. "A dean," he said, "is a guy no longer able to teach.'' . Next, Dr. Bruce Underwood, Director of the State Board of Health, discussed t h e various phases of public health work and the advantages of a career in that field. Dr. Underwood also emphasized the need of Kentucky for more health officers. • Dean Kinsman then spoke briefly about the University's proud tradition and its 1\igh-ranking position in comparison with other schools. Student Lounge N~ed H. D. Gardner, student moderator, presented plaques on behalf of the student council to three faculty members, Drs. A. W. Homberger, S. I. Kornhauser, and A. J. Miller. The.se plaques were given by the student council in token of thanks to the teachers for their help to the students. The council also officially named the student lounge the "John Walker Moore Lounge,'' and a brass tablet was 1 presented with -that inscription. At the conclusion of the convocation, Dean Kinsman paid tribute to H. D. Gardner, president of his class and of the student council, for his excellent job of coordinating the schools of the University · and improving student-faculty relationships. Lucia Rivers' "The Father," stylistically sensitive and rich in character izing detail, shows a girl's groping for understanding of her father. "A Pair of Calves" by Rob ert Withrow, a Sherwood Anderson-like story, won second prize in the Short Story Contest. I do not feel that I understand the intentions of this story. The masterful use of the colloquial carried complete conviction all the way through, but · I could not make out the relationship of the central scene to the whole narrat ive. Exhibits, Advice Highlight Annual Speed Celebration Tommy Hudson's critical article, w hich rounds the issue, is a thoroughly professional job of delineating the mysticism and tradit ionalism in William Faulkner. I should like again to congratulate the editors and writers who are responsible for this magazine, and to express the hope that further University support will enable Prologue to carry out its intentions of including student art work and scholarly and critical articles from other fields of study. ----- Sigma Tau To Add Members May 29 The Omicron chapter of Sigma Tau will initiate seven new members next Monday at 5:00 p.m. in the Woman's Building. The new initiates are Walter L. Crawford, Cletus Brehme, James L. Wagner, Julius Petach, William D. Snelling, William G. Barclay, and John J. Mitchell. Following the initiation ceremony there will be a banquet at Preston Kunz's. Commander Robert B. Kail, USN, Executive Officer of the NROTC, will address the active members. Sigma Tau is an honorary engineering fraternity comprised of 26 chapters located at leading engineering schools throughout the country. The Omicron chapter was formed at Speed Scientific School in 1935. New members are selected on a basis of scholarship, leadership, practicality, and socia~ility. At its last meeting, the Orrucron chapter elected the following officers for the new year: Richard D. Gloor, President; Robert N. Hurst, Vice-president; Eddie Green, Secretary; George Larson, Treasurer; Stan Newhall, Corresponding Secretary. Gilbert To Teach Art At Indiana Univenity Mr. Creighton Gilbert, instructor in the Humanities Depanment plans to spend the summer term of July and August at JDdlene University teaching Hiltor7 of Art. While lnstructint he ia IOiDI to work on a theaJa b bia clootorate deifee. Good advice, cracking cement bl.ocks, buzzing engines and helpful engineering students were among the things heard by those who participated in the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of Speed Scientific School last Thursday and Friday. The good ·advice came from the Louisville engineers who spoke at the three symposiums held as part of the activities. These sessions consisted of talks on school affairs, the young engineer in industry, and new developments in engineering. The speakers all stressed personality, tact and temperament as primary traits for young men in business. They also emphasized the fact that forty per cent of engineering graduates prnctice the profession as such. The cement blocks, engines and explanations were part of the exhibits on display. Other shows included water flowing out of an unconnected section of pipe, three dimensinal aerial photographs of landscape, model trains and an oscilloscope. Another outstanding event was the formal dedication of Sackett Hall held Thursday night. Dr. 0 . W. Eshbach, Dean '()f the Technological Institute, Northwestern University, delivered the main address. The climax of the two-day celebration was the program held at Memorial Auditorium F r i d a y night. Mr. William E. Kelley, manager of the New York Operntions Office of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission, made the feature address and pointed out the tremendous job which the engineer will have to shoulder in lhe coming atomic age. This program included the preEentation of honorary degrees to Dr. Eshbach, Mr. Kelley, and Jesse W. Mason, Dean of Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology. Commencement Exercises For 698 Set For June 12; Honor Chairman Announces 1950 Award Winners LOVELY LITTLE ANNE HAYNES is shown with Capt. G. C. Gill. head of the University's NROTC unit, as he presented her with the cup which came with her new title of Sweetheart of the unit. The annual Navy Ball was held at the Louisville Boat Club last Friday night. Monsky, Smith Disagree On Taft-Hartley Flaws By EMIL AUN Mr. Herbert Monsky and Mr. James Smith both agreed that neither the Wagner Act nor the Taft-Hartley Law were perfect pieces of legislation in a debate at the SUB ballroom last Tuesday. The two attorneys disagreed, however, in their analyses of what precisely js wrong with Taft-Hartley. Monsky, counsel ·for the United Public Workers, said that the sponsors of the law had claimed it would accomplish three things: restore equality between management and labor, restore industrial peace, and protect the workers themselves "from labor racketeers. Actually, said Monsky, it had done no such thing. He cited fig. ures compiled by the Industrial elations Division of the University of California which reported that since Taft-Hartley, the C.I.O.'s membership had dropped from six million to three and a fl.cilf "'hlilliun. "Taft-Hartley did not produce equality if its purpose was to stop union progress," he said. "It resulted in a serious setback to the uni6n movement." Also, the law"didn't restore industrial peace. Quoting Department of Labor figures, Monsky said. that in 1937, two years after the passage of the Wagner Act, 28,400,000 man days were lost by strikes. 50,500,000 man days were lost the second year after TaftHartley. Smith, counsel for The Mengel Co., William L. Holt Co., and Harcourt & Co., came to the defense of the Taft-Hartley Act. (reese Ends VVork As Editor Of New Architecture Book For the first time in over a year, Dr. Walter Creese, Fine Arts instructor, can totally relax. The book he has been editing since early 1949 was published just last month. It is Democracy; A Man's Search by Louis Sullivan, the famous American 19th century architect. "Taft-Hartley,'' he said, "is just a series of ~mendments and additions to the Wagner Act. "The excesses of some employers brought on the Wagner Act (which) was a social experiment. (It) gave a great segment of our population tremendous rights without corresportdin~ dl.lties.'' The employer had to deal with the union, but the union did not have to deal with the employer. "That," said Smith, "is contrary to our whole system of justice. "In twelve years, the Wagner Act was in effect unchanged. The National Labor Relations Board . . . administered it in an overzealous manner ... The employer had thtee suikes on him before he started.'' Taft-Hartley, said Smith, is not "a slave-labor act." Nothing in the law is a handicap to collective bargaining. It puts some responsibility on unions where before there was none. The program was sponsored by the Political Arena. Mr. Carl A. Warns, law instructor, moderated. LMC Graduation To Be Held June 6 Forty-three seniors will be graduated from the Louisville Municipal College on Tuesday, June 6. The Commencement Exercises will be held at the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, located on Chestnut Street between 9th and lOth, at 8:30 p.m. The Baccalaureate Service will be held in the Chapel at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 4. Dr. Lorenzo D. Turner, professor of English at Roosevelt College, one of the first full-time N egro professors, will deliver the commencement address. Rev. Jones To Speak Invocation and benediction will be delivered by the Rev. W. Augustus' Jones of the fifth Street Baptist Church. The top graduating seniors are Celeste Willis, Joseph Howard McMillian, and Felix J. McElroy. Kranz Succeeds Gardner As Head Of School Council Bill Kranz, a student of U of L's Dental School, was elected president of the University Student Council at the last meeting of the organization held May 18 in the SUB. Jim Bowling, A & S, was reelected vice-president. Other Officers Appointed Jack Watkins, Medical School, and Mary Ellen Stone, A & S, were appointed treasurer and secretary respectively. The students took office immediately after being chosen and will hold theiJ; positions for one year. The p•sident and vice-president were elected by the twentynine voting members of the · group; the treasurer and secretary were appointed by Kranz with the advice and consent of the Council. The retiring officers who served during the school year of 1949-50 are: H. D. Gardner, president and Jim Allen, treasurer. The book, which is a last complete statement of Sullivan's social and political ideas, has never been printed before because of its great length. It is the sequel to Kindergarten Chats. In his book Sullivan explains what kind of men are needed in a democratic society if that society is to flourish. -(Cardinal photo bl/ McDonald WEARING THEIR OWN CREATIONS modelled in the Home Ec. Annual style show held in the Student Union Building last week are, left to right. Jean Caldwell, Bettye Sue Franklin. Lauris Louis Sullivan has a claim to fame for several reasons. It was he who built the first skyscraper, the Wainright Building in St. Louis. Sullivan started the movement toward that type of modern architecture. <Secondly he is the 'dear-teacher' of America's greatest 20th century architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright, who was inspired by Sullivan and has carried out his idea of the decentralization of the city. Future Te~chers Choose Officers Peggy Tilghman and Mary Lee Wright were elected president and vice-president of the Future Teachers Club at their last meeting held May 16 in the Woman's Building. Helen McDaniel was chosen secretary-treasurer and James Lewis, membership chairman. The new officers have made plans for a tea for graduating education majors on Tuesday, May 30 at 3:30 in the Women's Building. Guests of honor will be Mr. Samuel Coelow, Dr. C. A. Rubado and Mr. Richard Van Hoose. Cavanaugh, and Patty Rai Smith. Story on page 3. Phi Kappa Initiates Fifty-two Fifty-two seniors from all of the schools of the University were made members of Phi Kappa Phi, national Honorary frnternity, at their annual initiation held in the Allen Court Room last night. Preceding the installation ceremonies, a banquet was held in the Jefferson Room. The organi2lation, founded in 1897 at the Universities of Maine, Pennsylvania State and Tennes see, has ·as its purpose "To emphasize scholarship in the thought of college and university students, and to stimulate mental achievement." All students in the top ten per cent of their class are eligible for membership, but as a rule only about six or eight per cent are accepted. The candidates must be within one year of graduation and have done the majority of their work at the institution where !they are initiated. A committee of faculty members, usually representatives of Phi Kappa Phi, select those eligible and their selections are then passed upon by the remainder of the faculty members. The organization established a chapter at U of L In liMO under the guidance of President Raymond A. Kent. It has 53 chapters in the United States and its possessions. It is the only top-ranking scholastic fraternity in the country that embraces all of the schools of the University. ,_1.1- Those initiated were: Arts 1r Scl~ces- Hazel Calhoun, John L.

By MRS. MONA THURSTON
I have found the spring Prologue as exciting. to read as a national
literary quarterly. The ratio of its quality tO: its finanCial support
contrasts strongly with the ra~o I am familiar· with in student
magazines elsewhere, which is a testimony to the taste alf~ hard.
work of the editors- and ..t he spirited· seriousness of student writing . on this campus.
The poetry in this issue hils ya.. ·
riety and poise. Carl Sclarenco,
who is already publishing professionally,
has a group ot four
poems which display his lyric
talent and his ability to assimilate,
yet not oe overpowered by,
contemporary influencei>. "Narc issus"
and "Dialogue" are particularly
fine pieces, showing
awareness of the Wallace Stevens
idiom.
Lucia Rivers, who is new to the
campus this year and who received
first prize in the Poetry Conest,
displays a high degree . of
skill in handling metaphysical
imagery. The fusion of. feeling
with intellectual excitement she
gets when she is at her best makes
any weakness show up clearly.
"Psychotherapeutic" seems uncertain
in movement, too low in

Marianne Sights is a promising
newcomer to the pages of
Prologue, and her two poems
point toward a further self-real

imagery and a sometimes inhibited
movement, have freshness and

Robert White appears again
with his sophisticated experimental
sonnets, and Joan Wood's
poem, though it is uneven, is an
attempt at a larger subject matter
than she usually tackles.
Of the three stories, Don Preston's
"The City and the Rock" is
the most ambitious in theme,
dealing with the problem of the
artist in society, or, taken in its
broader implications, man as individual
against man as standardized
mass. There is integri·ty
of handling in the slow, cumulative
structure, though there is
lack of sureness in style. ThiS is
Mr. Preston's first appearance in

about this.''
Dr. William K. Keller, Professor
of Psychiatry, opened the convocation
with a humorous lecture.
"A dean," he said, "is a guy
no longer able to teach.'' .
Next, Dr. Bruce Underwood,
Director of the State Board of
Health, discussed t h e various
phases of public health work and
the advantages of a career in that
field.
Dr. Underwood also emphasized
the need of Kentucky for more
health officers. •
Dean Kinsman then spoke briefly
about the University's proud
tradition and its 1\igh-ranking position
in comparison with other
schools.
Student Lounge N~ed
H. D. Gardner, student moderator,
presented plaques on behalf
of the student council to three faculty
members, Drs. A. W. Homberger,
S. I. Kornhauser, and A.
J. Miller. The.se plaques were given
by the student council in token
of thanks to the teachers for their
help to the students.
The council also officially named
the student lounge the "John
Walker Moore Lounge,'' and a
brass tablet was 1 presented with
-that inscription.
At the conclusion of the convocation,
Dean Kinsman paid tribute
to H. D. Gardner, president of his
class and of the student council,
for his excellent job of coordinating
the schools of the University
· and improving student-faculty relationships.

Gilbert To Teach Art
At Indiana Univenity
Mr. Creighton Gilbert, instructor
in the Humanities Depanment
plans to spend the summer term
of July and August at JDdlene
University teaching Hiltor7 of
Art.
While lnstructint he ia IOiDI
to work on a theaJa b bia clootorate
deifee.
Good advice, cracking cement bl.ocks, buzzing engines and
helpful engineering students were among the things heard by those
who participated in the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary
of Speed Scientific School last Thursday and Friday.
The good ·advice came from the
Louisville engineers who spoke at
the three symposiums held as part
of the activities. These sessions
consisted of talks on school affairs,
the young engineer in industry,
and new developments in
engineering.
The speakers all stressed personality,
tact and temperament as
primary traits for young men in
business. They also emphasized
the fact that forty per cent of engineering
graduates prnctice the
profession as such.
The cement blocks, engines and
explanations were part of the exhibits
on display. Other shows included
water flowing out of an
unconnected section of pipe, three
dimensinal aerial photographs of
landscape, model trains and an oscilloscope.
Another outstanding event was
the formal dedication of Sackett
Hall held Thursday night. Dr. 0 .
W. Eshbach, Dean '()f the Technological
Institute, Northwestern
University, delivered the main address.
The climax of the two-day celebration
was the program held at
Memorial Auditorium F r i d a y
night. Mr. William E. Kelley,
manager of the New York Operntions
Office of the U. S. Atomic
Energy Commission, made the
feature address and pointed out
the tremendous job which the engineer
will have to shoulder in
lhe coming atomic age.
This program included the preEentation
of honorary degrees to
Dr. Eshbach, Mr. Kelley, and
Jesse W. Mason, Dean of Engineering,
Georgia Institute of
Technology.

Monsky, Smith Disagree
On Taft-Hartley Flaws
By EMIL AUN
Mr. Herbert Monsky and Mr. James Smith both agreed that
neither the Wagner Act nor the Taft-Hartley Law were perfect
pieces of legislation in a debate at the SUB ballroom last Tuesday.
The two attorneys disagreed,
however, in their analyses of what
precisely js wrong with Taft-Hartley.
Monsky, counsel ·for the United
Public Workers, said that the
sponsors of the law had claimed it
would accomplish three things:
restore equality between management
and labor, restore industrial
peace, and protect the workers
themselves "from labor racketeers.
Actually, said Monsky, it had
done no such thing. He cited fig.
ures compiled by the Industrial
elations Division of the University
of California which reported
that since Taft-Hartley, the
C.I.O.'s membership had dropped
from six million to three and a
fl.cilf "'hlilliun.
"Taft-Hartley did not produce
equality if its purpose was to stop
union progress," he said. "It resulted
in a serious setback to the
uni6n movement."
Also, the law"didn't restore industrial
peace. Quoting Department
of Labor figures, Monsky
said. that in 1937, two years after
the passage of the Wagner Act,
28,400,000 man days were lost by
strikes. 50,500,000 man days were
lost the second year after TaftHartley.
Smith, counsel for The Mengel
Co., William L. Holt Co., and Harcourt
& Co., came to the defense
of the Taft-Hartley Act.

As Editor Of New
Architecture Book
For the first time in over a
year, Dr. Walter Creese, Fine Arts
instructor, can totally relax.
The book he has been editing
since early 1949 was published
just last month. It is Democracy;
A Man's Search by Louis Sullivan,
the famous American 19th
century architect.
"Taft-Hartley,'' he said, "is just
a series of ~mendments and additions
to the Wagner Act.
"The excesses of some employers
brought on the Wagner Act
(which) was a social experiment.
(It) gave a great segment of our
population tremendous rights
without corresportdin~ dl.lties.''
The employer had to deal with
the union, but the union did not
have to deal with the employer.
"That," said Smith, "is contrary
to our whole system of justice.
"In twelve years, the Wagner
Act was in effect unchanged. The
National Labor Relations Board
. . . administered it in an overzealous
manner ... The employer
had thtee suikes on him before
he started.''
Taft-Hartley, said Smith, is not
"a slave-labor act." Nothing in the
law is a handicap to collective
bargaining. It puts some responsibility
on unions where before
there was none.
The program was sponsored by
the Political Arena. Mr. Carl A.
Warns, law instructor, moderated.

Kranz Succeeds
Gardner As Head
Of School Council
Bill Kranz, a student of U of
L's Dental School, was elected
president of the University Student
Council at the last meeting
of the organization held May 18
in the SUB.
Jim Bowling, A & S, was reelected
vice-president.
Other Officers Appointed
Jack Watkins, Medical School,
and Mary Ellen Stone, A & S,
were appointed treasurer and secretary
respectively.
The students took office immediately
after being chosen and will
hold theiJ; positions for one year.
The p•sident and vice-president
were elected by the twentynine
voting members of the ·
group; the treasurer and secretary
were appointed by Kranz
with the advice and consent of
the Council.
The retiring officers who served
during the school year of 1949-50
are: H. D. Gardner, president and
Jim Allen, treasurer.
The book, which is a last complete
statement of Sullivan's social
and political ideas, has never
been printed before because of its
great length. It is the sequel to
Kindergarten Chats.
In his book Sullivan explains
what kind of men are needed in a
democratic society if that society
is to flourish.
