New U of L Budget Cuts
Will Affect Many Groups;
Thoroughbred Included
The president's office has received the largest cut in the cur­rent
budget reducing, announced Eli H. Brown III, president of the
University, last Thursday.
Seven thousand, two hundred dollars was cut from the $29,900
alloted to this office in this year's budget.

The team allowance will be week.
$5,140 less; $4,442 of this amount
will be taken from football schol­arships.
The engineering depart­ment
will be cut $5,165, most of
which is unused salary.
The student organization suf­fering
the largest reduction is the
Thoroughbred. The yearbook will
lose $1,836 alloted for supplies and
$150 for student wages.
Scholarships Cui
Other student groups hurt by
the cut are the Speed Engineer.
$24; Pep Club, $34; USC, $148;
school councils, a total of $354.
The Council receiving the largest
cut is the Arts and Sciences; they
lose $212.
Eight thousand, four hundred
dollars set aside for scholarships
to U of L will not be offered.
All of the athletic budgets will
be greatly reduced: basketball,
$1,280, $802 of this amount in
scholarships; baseball, $431; track,
$254; golf, $180; tennis, $108;
swimming, $221; the rifle teams,
$88.
Almost all of the budgets for
departments in the schools are
lowered. Arts and Sciences de­partments
are cut the total of
$9,316; DAE departments, $6,164;
Med, $6,152; Speed, $5,426; LMC,
$1,322; Dent, $302.
School administration's budgets
have also been greatly reduced­Arts
and Sciences, $1,003; Law
School, $1,574; Med, $640. Other
administrations will suffer small­er
cuts.
No Salaries Cut
Among the University groups
that will have to get along this
year with less money than they
expected are Public Relations,
$4,619; Building and Grounds,
$3,441; Utilities, $2,467; Bookstore,
$2,078. .
The departments, offices and
organizations whose budgets have
been reduced will cut expenses by
spending less on salaries, travel,
supplies and capital outlay. The
athletic departments will spend
less on scholarships, supplies and
expenses away and at home.
No salaries are being lowered.
The budget reduction on salaries
is a result of not replacing peo­ple
who have quit during the
year.
This cut of almost all Universi­ty
budgets will allow U of L to
end its fiscal year with a balance

Maj~ James R. Blackwell
Promoted to Lt. Colonel
In an effort to familiarize the
student body with the qualifica­tions
and platforms of the candi­dates
to the Arts and Sciences
Student Council. we have asked
them to answer six questions on
the Council and themselves.
The following is a summary of
the answers we received! When
asked what their conception of
the working nature of the Coun­cil
was, Josef Overhultz, Anna
Dodson, Betty Wolfe, John Shel­ton,
Bob Kinnamah and George
Major James R. Blackwell, executive officer of the NROTC
unit on campus, was promoted to the rank of Lt. Colonel, February
19, effective as of January 1, 1951.
Colonel Blackwell reported to
the University of Louisville on
August ·16, 1950. Previously he
had been stationed at Marine
Corps Headquarters, Washington,
D. C.
During the war he saw action
in the Marshall Islands and Iwo
Jima campaigns with the 4th and
5th Marine Divisions.
In the Crunching and Grinding
Laboratory machines used for size
reduction of materials may be
seen. The Metallography Labora­tory
offers the visitors a chance
to have their keys plated. The
structure of different metals may
also be seen under high power
magnification.
The exhibits in the Unit Opera­tions
Laboratory will give the
public a chance to see the various
types of equipment used in the
chemical industries. In the X-Ray
Room, x-ray equipment similiar
to that used in industry for in­spection
and research may be
seen.
The Paint Laboratory will de­monstrate
the operation of the
reproduction at an accelerated
rate the action of sunlight and
rain on paint.
CIVIL ENGINEERING
The Civil Engineering Chair­man,
Bob Edwards, has also ar­ranged
a great number of exhi­bits.
In the Materials Testing
Laboratory may be seen the dif­ferent
types of machines which
put engineering materials through
tortuous tests. There will be all
sorts of surveying equipment on
display along with layouts on
photogrammetry, m a p making,
and aerial photography.
The Photoelasticity Lab fea­tures
m e t h o d s for studying
stresses in materials when under
a load. In the Hydraulics Labora­tory
the many different types of
equipment used for studying the
flow of water may be observed.
Various mechanisms for testing
soil will be on display in the Soil
Mechanics Laboratory.
The Civil Engineering students
have m ad e colored concrete
paper weights for the public to
take home as a souvenier of their
visit.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
The Electrical Engineering De­partment,
located in Brigman Hall,
has two co-chairmen, Richard
Gloor, Electronics Chairman, and
Bill Kotheimer, Power Chairman.
In the Electronics Laboratory
an exploded radio will be demon­started
(see picture). It is an en­tire
radio mounted on a panel,
and it actually works! Another
interesting piece of apparatus is
the electronic kaleidoscope which
is used to study wave forms. The
public may try their hand at pro­ducing
designs and patters on the
screen. There will also be a large
television display.

Louisville People And U of L Students
Will Watch Engineers Work And Play
By KEN WHITEHOUSE
Tomorrow, from 2 to 9 pm, Speed Scientific School will hold
it's annual Engineers Day.
The p eople of Louisville and students of U of L will have
their annual chance to see engineers at work and play.
This year, the hundreds of dis-plays
and exhibits will fill six
buildings and cover almost every
phase of scientific endeavor.
Guests will park in the park­way
field parking lot and proceed
to the foyer of the main Speed
building. Here they will be greet­ed
and given a program which in­cludes
a list of exhibits and a
map.
Visitors' Route Marked
The route will be well marked
by big red arrows and students
will be stationed at certain key
points to assist the visitors in find­ing
their way. Eddie Green, sub­chairman
in charge of routing,
will be on hand to clear bottle­necks
and insure a steady flow of
traffic.
From the foyer, guests will pro­ceed
to the second floor where
Alan Gold and his assistants will
have charge of the Engineering
Drawing Department and the l i­brary.
From there the route will lead
to the basement for inspection of
the Chemical Engineering De­partment,
under the auspices of
sub-chairman, Bob Buch.
Engines On Display
Leaving the basement, visitors
will go out the back door and in­to
the Institute of Industrial Re­search
where Jack Travelstead
will have housed the displays of
numerous local industries, as well
as the projects and equipment of
the Institute.
Exiting from the Institute by
the side doors, guests will enter
the laboratories of the Mechani­cal
Engineering Department, in
Sackett Hall, where Ben LaMas­ter
and the mechanicals will have
numerous types of engines oper­ating
or on display.
Going down the steps in the
laboratory brings the visitors to
the exhibits of the Prysics Depart­ment
conducted by sub-chairman
Andy Lieber and Alan Fine.
Tearing themselves away from
the Black Magic show, the guests
hoist anchor and get underway
upstairs and cross the street to
the Naval Science building where
they find themselves surrounded
by the radar and heavy ordinance
of a fighting ship together with
numerous training aids. Here Don
Watters and members of the
watch will be glad to answer all
questions about the equipment or
the Navy Program.

At Meet Last Week By KEN WHITEHOUSE
"What is this Eingineer's Day
I've heard so much about and how
did it originate?", is being heard
throughout the University and
city this week.
Well, the story goes that in
1903, the engineering stu­dents
of the University of Mis­souri
uncovered (or orginated)
the legend that St. Patrick was an
engineer and decided that engi­neering
students should celebrate
his birthday. From Missouri the
practice spread, until today at
least twenty-five schools of en­gineering
celebrate in some man­ner
an annual Engineer's Day on
or about March 17.
The basic reason for the begin-

ning of Engineer's Day lies in
the fact that St. Patrick was an
engineer, and is the engineer's pa­tron
saint. Miss Mary Frances
Pope, Librarian, University of
Kentucky, has conducted consid­erable
research along this line.
The results were published in the
Kentucky Engineer, Feb. 1948.
The following legend has been
unearthed by Miss Pope and
comes from both Missouri and
Minnesota: "It seems that while
excavations on the campus for
a mining building were in pro­gress,
an exposed stone rolled
to the feet of an engineering stu­dent.
It bore the Gaelic inscrip­tion
'Erin Go Bragh'.
Puzzled by the rock's strange
inscription, the engineers could
not become content until they
learned what it meant. Then the
miracle of the engineer who could
interpret Gaelic took place. Such
an engineer materialized, quoted
the inscription as reading 'St.
Patrick is an Engineer,' and sank
back into oblivion."
Engineer's Day was first held
at Speed in the spring of 1931. It
was felt that the school should
become more familiar to the citi­zenry.
The solution seemed to be
• an open house at the engineering
school, with interesting as well
as educational exhibits to draw
the crowd and to make them
realize what a truly fine engineer­ing
school the city had.

its failings. One defect mentioned
was that although under the law
a union could fire a member for
failure to pay dues, it could not
fire him for non-payment of fines
and assessments.

ADDRESSING THE U OF L Brotherhood Convocation. F'ebruary
22 is Thomas A. Ballantine. the Kentucky Chairman of Brother­hood
Week. In the background are the Municipal College Chorus,
Sidney Terr. head of the convocations committee and Jim O'Leary,
president of the Religious Council.
Brotherhood Plea Made
By RONALD MYLES
Bigotry, racial and religious prejudice, are " ... an expense
that we as a people cannot afford," said Mr. Thomas A. Ballan­tine
at the Brotherhood Convocation last Thursday.
Before a s t u de n t assem-bly
Mr. Ballantine, the Kentucky
Chairman of Brotherhood Week,
showed that though no rule of
sentimentality is sought, nor tol­erance
in which we must accept
everybody because he is not of
our race or religion, the accept­ance
of all men as equals with a
right to a place in society, is most
necessary for a peaceful world.
The title of his talk was
"Brotherhood For Survival."
Dr. S. D. Terr of the History
Department introduced the Con­vocation
with a few w o r d s
on Brotherhood's p I a c e in
the world. The need for liberty,
equality, and fraternity has al­ways
existed, he said, but these
muat work as one; none can stand
alone. ''Effective realization" of
thJs il needed.
Attributing m a n y of h is
tl'toughts to Eric Johnston, the na­tional
chairman of Brotherhood
Week, Mr. Ballantine proceeded
to show the need of, the foolish­ness
and expense of, and the push
needed for universal brotherhood.
Bigotry and prejudice are wrong
all the time economically, politi­cally
and morally. We must choose •
our friends on the basis of their
individuality; we must eliminate
hyphonated voting.
Now is the time during which
these principles are particularly
significant, he said. We have the
threat of another ideology, Com­munism,
which could do universal
hann. To thia we must give a
demonstration of d e m o c r a c y­"
build a brotherhood man upon
man towards univenal brother­hood."
