New Scholarship Aid Offered 'Orpheus' Will Open

year at U of L will be offered to
the first honor graduates of all
accredited Louisville and J effer­son
Co·mty high schools begin­ning
w'th the graduating classes
of June 1952.
Band Fraternity Extends On· Campus Tonight
The plan, designed to attract
high c uality students, originated
in the University scholarship
committee, a committee under
President Davidson composed of
representatives from all divisions,
and headed by Dean Stevenson of
the College of Arts and Sciences.
If the first honor student does
not accept the scholarship it will
be offered to the second honor stu­dent.
The awards, worth $448 each,
may be used in Arts and Science,
Speed School, Music School, and
the new School of Nursing.
As part of a publicity campaign,
presidential assistant M or t o n
Walker will visit, with a team
of university students, the high
schools of the Louisville area.
Also for publicity, a booklet on
the university will be published
soon.
Besides the awards for top
ranking high school seniors, the
following scholarhsips are avail­able
to those wishing to attend
the university: Presidents' Schol­arship,
Bernard Flexner Scholar­ships,
University Scholarships,
Allen R. Hite Art Scholarships,
Band Scholarships, Pi Kappa
Omicron Scholarships, John M.
Atherton Memorial Scholarships
for Speed School, and work schol­arships.
$1 000 Benefits To FroSh
Pi Kappa Omicron, the U of L band fraternity, is making avail­able
to the University a sum of one thousand dollars yearly for
scholarships. \
Said Charley Hammond, PKO
president, "Much interest has been
directed in the past to our lack
of report witwh local high schools.
We have established the scholar­ship
as extra inducement to all
high school students who might
be considering U of L for their ed­ucation."
The new scholarship will be
administered as the Pi Kappa
Omicron Scholarship Fund. After
applications are made to the
school and approved by the scho­larship
committee, PKO will draw
a check and deposit it with the
cashier to cover the awards.
Although the scholarship is di- ·
rected primarily toward incoming
students, anyone may apply. Dis­tribution
of this 'scholarship will
be done basically on the appli­cant's
extra-curricular record, but
the regular University restrictions
will also hold.
It is anticipated that half of the
thousand dollars will go to band
students. No one student may re­ceive
more than two-hundred dol­lars
from the Fund, but smaller
awards may be made.
The scholarship is effective next
September. Band students apply­ing
under this scholarship will au­dition
next summer.

Jacques Offenbach was born in
Germany in 1819. In his early life
he played with the orchestra of
the Oupera Comique in Paris
where he gained a reputation for
being a prankster and a great
lover of mischief. This love of
humor reached into his music and
was responsible for the out of-the­ordinary
story in his opera, "Or­pheus
in the Underworld."
At first the opera was bitterly
attacked by the critics and au­ience
who found themselves
completely confused by it's satiric
·theme. Not until 15 years later did
it receive full appreciation.
The story itself concerns Or­pheus,
a moral violin teacher,
whos attempts at performing
beautiful music are quite a unap­preciated
by his wife, Eur)dice.
