George Feltovich, who will work
as editorial staff assistaDts for
the rest of the term.
Another change in the staff is
the promotion of Don Williamson
to head circulation manager and
the addition of Doug Jefferson as
his assistant. Don is taking the
place of .Jimmy Senn while the

co-op.
Humanities Division
To Show Carmen Film
Burlesque on Carmen. a film
satire starring Charlie Chaplin
and Edna Purviance, will be
shown by the Humanities Divi­sion
in the Playhouse January 19
at 12 noon and in the Student
Union Building at 8 pm.
"The four reel comedy is actual­ly
intended to be a burlesque on
Cecil B. DeMille's production of
that opera. The Chaplin wit and
natural satiric instinct add much
to this over-acted drama," said
Gilbert S. Ohlmann, Chairman of
the Humanities Division Film
Series.
"The synchonized musical score
is itself a satire worthy of note."
The role of Don Jose in the
film, which runs fifty minutes,
was Chaplin's first move in a
step toward the feature length
pictures that followed.
Other movies in the Humani­ties
Division Film Series that will
be shown this year are The Eter­nal
Return, The Quiet One, and
Major Barbara.
Ky. Choral Clinic
Meets Here 12-13
The Kentucky state Choral-Vo­cal
Clinic will be held here Fri­day
and Saturday.
The clinic is sponsored by the
Department of Bands of the Uni­versity
of Louisville, in coopera­tion
with the Kentucky Music Ed­ucators
Association, the Kentucky
Choral-Vocal Association, and the
Kentucky Band and Orchestra Di­rectors
Association.
Miss Laura Bryant, Supervisor
of Music for the public schools of
Ithaca, New York, will be the
guest lecturer and conductor. Miss
Bryant is well known for her pub­lications,
for elementary and high
school choral work and for her
training of classroom teachers to
carry on the elementary music
program.
Sessions of the clinic will begin
at 9:30 a.m. Friday and 9:00 a.m.
Saturday and will run each day
until 5 p.m. A banquet on Friday
night and a breakfast business
Saturday morning will complete
the meeting.
lfC Votes Against
U of L Ticlcet Drive
All eleven fraternities of the
Inter-Fraternity Council voted to
withdraw from participation in
the Booster Contest at the meet­ing
January 8.
Bill Craddock, president of the
I F C explained that this action
would perhaps open the eyes of
those sponsoring the contest
"The idea behind this Booster
Contest is to boost attendance at
basketball games. However, it
hasn't accomplished this goal.
Many organizations are buying
tickets to get credit and not using
them," he said.
- (Cardinal photo bl/ Elrod.
The contest, sponsored by the
Pep Club to stimulate interest in
attendance at U of L's basketball
games, is based on the percentage
of tickets sold to the number of
members the organizations have.
Consequently the size of the or­ganization
is not a determining
factor.
PRESENT FOR THE INAUGUARTION of the Southern Police Institute at U of,L were, from left to
right; E. E. Williams. Captain of the Chattanooga Police Department; Captain Frank H. Gravitt. Lex·
ington, Ky.; David A. McCandless, Director of the Institute: Rolland L. Soule, Assistant Director and
instructor of the school: and Col. Carl E. Heustis, Chief of Louisville Police Department.
As the point system is now,
each person who gets tickets for
home games is given a slip which
credits the tickets to any univer­sity
organization. The fraternity
or sorority having the highest per­centage
at the end of the basket­ball
season wins a trophy.
The IFC members critize this
system, since good seats at Ar­mory
are not occupied because the
people are not interested in the
games, but only in helping the
organization pile up tickets in or­der
to win the trophy.
Jim Bowling, Kenny Goodman,
and Leonard Pine were appointed
by the IFC to investigate the sys­tem
for possible improvement
and to notify Coach Hickman and
Jack Lynch, president of the Pep
Club, that the eleven fraternities
are withdrawing from the contest.
Southern Police Institute
Is Formally lnaugurated
The progress of the new Southern Police Institute will be eagerly
followed not only by the people of Louisville but by the people of
the South and the whole nation, said President Eli H. Brown at the
inauguration ceremonies in Speed abditorium January 4.
"The Southern Police Institute
is welcomed by officials and peo­ple
all over the South. It is a
pleasure to have such an institute
affiliated with the University of
Louisville," he said.
Speaking for the Mayor, who is
on vacation in the Bahamas. Roy
Owsley, City Consultant, lauded
the establishment.
"The establishment of the
Southern Police Institute at the
University of Louisville marks an
important milestone in the pro­,
gress of police work in the south­eastern
section of our country. It
will bring together the police de­.
partments of this section of our
country and will form a desirable
bond between them."
Mr. And Miss Thorobred
To Be Crownedon]an. 26
David A. McCandless, director
of the institute, introduced the
speakers and acknowledged the
help given by the University and
the people of Louisville. Merle E.
Robertson, president of the Louis­ville
Chamber of Commerce, of­fered
the co-operation of the
chamber.
The 1951 Thoroughbred Coronation Ball will be held in the
Continental Ballroom of the Henry Clay Hotel Friday, January 26,
from 9 till L
It will be an informal, all-Uni­versity
function.
Tickets for the yearbook-spon­sored
Ball will be limited to 300
and will sell at $1.60 per CQ>Iple
or $1.00 stag. They go on sale
next Monday in the SUB.
Noted Visitors Attend
Visitors included Guthrie
Crowe, State police commissioner,
Alfred Schild, Covington chief of
police, and Elmer Gutterman, ex­ecutive
secretary of the Kentucky
Officers Association.
There will be an A &: S
Student Council Beef Ses­sion
Wednesday January 17,
1951 on the second floor of
the SUB. All students are
in viied to attend.
State Department
Uses Bier Article
Dr. Justus Bier's writing is be­ing
used by the State Department
in some undefined connection
with the war effort.
Last month, Dr. Bier, U of
L Art History Professor, re­ceived
a note from Ellis Wilson,
Kentucky Negro artist, saying:
"I had a call from one of the
branches of the State Depart­ment
in Washington asking my
permission to use your article
on me for the boys overseas­which
pleased me no end."
This article was Bier's giant
feature on Wilson's background
and his paintings printed in the
Courier-Journal's April 30 roto
magazine.
This marks the second time the
State Depai'tment has used one
of Dr. Bier's articles. In 1945, it
published a digest of his article,
"An 'Anna Selbdrott' by Rcemen­schneider"
(in the Journal of the
Walters Art Gallery, Vols. VII­VIII,
1944-45) for distribution to
libraries and research institutions
abroad.
Teachers lnSix Schools
Are Rated By Students
forms Being filled Out In All Classes
In Music, A & S, Dent, Med, Kent, LMC
The teachers of Arts and Sciences, Municipal, Music, Dent­al,
Kent and Medical School are being rated by the students of
the University this week and next. Speed School teachers will be
rated sometime in the present quarter.
Brown, Trustees,
Are 'Still Looking'
For UL President
In town for the opening of the
·Police Institute last week, Acting
President Eli Brown said he was
still looking for "a scholarly ad­ministrator,
not just an adminis­trator
or a businessman."
As soon as he finds one, the
Board of Trustees is likely to
make the man President of the
University.
Brown talked to three men in
Nashville and Memphis over the
holidays. After the University
Senate meeting January 8, he left
for the east to interview candi­dates
in and around Baltimore,
New York, and Washington. He's
also been talking to six local
prospects.
Acting as a one man screening
board, President Brown will turn
over his findings to the trustees
next week. The final choice will
be theirs. A February decision is
a distinct possibility.
As for Brown, he's definitely
not a candidate himself. Blessed
with a lucrative law practice, the
acting prexy has announced he's
primarily interested in "law, not
college administration."
Rumor Squelched
Brown scotched the rumor that
he's trying to hire Roy Mundorf,
assistant athletic director of
Georgia Tech, as athletic direc­tor
of U of L.
"I'm only acting president," he
said. "The athletic director should
work in close cooperation with
the administration. Therefore, it
will be up to the new president,
the permanent president, to select
an athletic director~"
Each teacher in these schools
is be~g graded on ability, pre­perahon,
knowledge, etc., by
every student in each of his
classes.
Student representatives, select­ed
from the participating schools,
are distributing rating forms and
grading cards to assigned classes.
After the students have an­swered
the questions on the
forms, the answer cards will be
sent to the International Business
Machines Company for scoring
and averaging.
The results will be sent to the
teachers during the first week of
next term.
The rating is being carried out
in order that the teachers might
have an idea of student opinion
about them and with the hope
that it will improve teaching
methods and better student-teach­er
relations in the University.
The project is one of the Na­tional
Student Association and is
being sponsored by the Universi­ty
Student Council.

A dingy and unused classroom
at the University Medical School
has been converted to a spic-and­span
four-room laboratory to con­duct
research on child health.
The new laboratory was recent­ly
set up by the Medical School
and the Kentucky Child Health
Foundation, a state-wide nonprof­it
group, founded last year.
The lab is fitted with a water
bath for keeping special tests at
constant temperatures. There are
pumps to create pressure and
vacuum, a home freezer, a whirl­ing
separator that spins 13,000
revolutions a minute and the
usual racks of test tubes.

Guardian. Manchester, Eng­land,

We felt that the problem of
giggling girls in the college class­room
was so common that a sur­vey
was in order. Much to our
surprise the results disqualified
our former beliefs.
To gather informat;on on the
subject it was decided that one
question should be posed to
several faculty members. This is
the question used:
Do giggling girls bother you
much and what do you do about
it?
Comments from the' faculty
ranged from complete acceptance
of giggling to the discouraging of
it in class.
Giggling girls do not bother

However, he seems to

prefer "a good loud belly laugh"
to "nervous slight giggles." He
adds, "The girls in my classes do
not seem to giggle much."
In the Physics Department, Mrs.
Mayo, who is seldom bothered
with giggling girls, or any other
kind, integrates the question by
telling what she would do with
a difficult case of giggling.
"I would ignore it if they were
not too obnoxious. But if they

were wasting their own time as
well as the time of lots of others,
I would invite them outside. In
' general, I would stop instructing
until the class is aware of the
fact that I am waiting for their
attention."
Mrs. Mitchell, an instructor in
psychology, believes that, "What­ever
discipline that is involved in
the college classroom ought to
come from the student herself
rather than from the instructor."
In regard to the giggling she
adds, "I think a certain amount
of freedom from tension in the
classroom is desirable."
In the Physical Education De­partment,
Dr. Sue Hall says,
"They do not bother me, one
way, or the other. They will soon
grow out of it. If a great amount
of giggling occurs, I try to shame
the girl out of it by making her
realize, in a kidding fashion, that
it is childish and that she is a
university student now."
Encouraging words were given
by Dr. Howe, associate profes­sor
of History, who seems to be­lieve
that in these times laughter
is a rarity. Finding giggling girls
no more bother-some than gig­gling
boys, he says, "I am always
glad that somebody has something
to be happy about now-a-days."
In typical fashion he adds, "Let
them laugh while they can­they'll
be crying soon enough."
Free Expression Neceuary
"Let us all in on the joke,"
says Mr. Swmk, instructor in
Psychology, "is my way of deal­ing
with giggling." He adds, "I
am diametrically opposed to what
is conventionally done to students
in primary school for whispering,
passing notes, giggling, etc.
"I thing these are part of the
students need for free expression.
If they are reprimanded by the
teacher it will only serve to
heighten the need to perform
these acts. I thlnk giggling in a
college classroom falls under the
same category."
Eel Rote: The results of this
survey fit in with a recent and
similar survey conducted by the
maaazine, Batuday ReYiew in
the November 26 issue in 1949.

He will serve as president of
the organization, a division of
the American Association for the·
Advancement of Science, in 1952.
A graduate of Johns Hopkins

Standardized Size
For Campus Cups
The University Student Council
has standardized the Homecom­ing,
Fryberger Sing and Barber­shop
Quartet trophies.
A committee appointed by Bill
Kranz, president of the USC, se­lected
awards that will be given
as prizes for these events every
year.
A price range of -thirty dollars
for all first p~ace awards and
twenty to twenty-five for second
place has also been voted into af­fect
by the group.
A letter was sent out this week
asking all organizations to keep
within ihis range when giving
cups that effect the University
students. New awards are to be/
submitted to the USC for accep­tance.
The purpose of standarization
is that all University trophies
might be recognized by sight and
will be of equal value every year.

Artist Functional After His Time,
Say Art League Panel Discussants
The University Art League's
panel discussion, held last Tues­day
night at 8 O'gock in the Al­len
Court Room, was provocative,
informative, and hUI!JOro,us, but
it didn't accomplish much on the
question, The Artist His Place in
Society. The two hour long meet­ing
could not decide what the ar­tist
actually is, but it held a large
audience in rapt attention and
gave them a good deal to think
about.
The panel included Mr. Clyde
Swink, Psychology, Mr. Ray Bird­wistell,
Anthropology, Dr. Ger­hart
Herz, Music History, and Mr.
Creighton Gilbert, Art History.
Mr. Carl Abner of the Economics
department moderated the pro­gram.
Definitions Asked
Mr. Birdwistell began the dis­cussion
by a five minute talk, in
wpich he asked that Art be de­fined.
In partial answer to his
own question, he said he felt Art
was a function which does not
show immediate results.
Mr. Gilbert, the second speak­er,
concurred with Bird wistell.
"I would hestate to define Art,"
he said. "I'm too
close to it. My
views must be
more than cas­ual."
Declining
to further de­fine
the term,
Gilbert contin­ued,
"But we
can't deny that

shape of the world is determined
by artists. I will agree, however,
that the world they shape comes
some 1enerationa after them."
Dr. Herz
artist starves
Mr. Gilbert
hesitates
Mr. Swink asked not only for a
definition of Art but for a defini­tion
of society as well. He did
much to clear the question by
stating his belief that the subject
matter within the artist is so
unique that it demands an equally
unique method of communication.
"This resulting communication is
the Art."
"There are many valuable con­cepts,"
Swink went on, "that must
be communicated. We must as­sume
that it is the function of
Art to achieve this communica­tion."
Dr. Herz asserted that it has
not always been the lot of the
artist to starve. He recalled the
days of patronage when "it was
both necessary and desirable to
have the luxury of the artists
within the prince's court."
'It is our bourgeois society that
/
lets the artist starve,'' he con­cluded
Birdwistell '-intervened to say
that the artist must either com­municate
or starve "It is the ar­tist'•
reaponsibility to appeal to
as larle an area as poaible," he
said "If thil area is not large
enoUih to IUpport him, then let

him starve."
Mr. Birdwhistell
guilty?
Gilbert then charged Birdwis­tell
with being guilty of associa­tional
values. "The Tennessee
Waltz would appeal to a large
area, but it is not Art. People
associate themselves with the sit­uation
within the song, not the
music. Similarly, people who say
they like only pictures of dogs
don't like the pictures but the
dogs themselves. I'm afraid," he
concluded, "that Mr. Birdwistell
is guilty of associational values."
Willlrie Speaks
The question was then given
to the audience. Mr. Willkie of the
Art Department concurred with
Swink that Art was a form of
communication "of which we
have, as yet, little understand-ing."
I
Swink closed the discussion by
saying, "It is the artist's job to
show what human beings are
made for."
In adjourning the panel, Mr.
Abner summed up the results by

solution by one group in one eve-ninl-
