VOL. I LOUISVILLE, KY., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1932 NO. 13
DR. KENT ATTENDS
EDUCATORS’ MEET
Second Conference Planned
Dr. Kent, president of U. of L ,
recently attended the convention
of the Southern Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools,
and returned with a very favor*
able report of conditions existing
today in southern education, and
of the prospect for southern
schools in the future.
Among the two Kentucky
schools added to the association
this year, was the Louisivlle Mu*
nicipal College, for Negroes.
In addition to the meeting of
the association, there was a gath
ering of the Southern Regional
Committee of Social Science Re*
search Councils. Though a lim-ited
number of instructors were
invited, Dr. Kent represented the
university at the gathering. The
Regional Committee held a con*
ference to promote more effective
teaching and research in higher
institutions of learning in the
South. This committee will prob-ably
hold another meeting during
the year, according to Dr. Kent.
“This meeting,” Dr. Kent as*
serted, “will be an unusually good
indicator of the progressive out-look
upon the problem of secon-dary
and higher education in the
South. The committee is dealing
in a sympathetic manner with
schools which are meeting severe
conditions of support, but is firm
in its conviction to do nothing to
lower the standards of any insti-tution
of learning.”
These were the main topics for
discussion at the meeting:
1. Is it possible to shorten the
hours of teaching for professors
who have both the inclination
and the ability to do effective re-search
work?
2. Is it possible to increase their
pay to the end that the best
equipped southern men will not
in the future be drawn away to
northern institutions?
3. Is there any scientific basis
for the notion that instruction
may be given more effectively in
small classes than in large ones?
4. Is there not duplication of
courses in our college and univer-sity
curricula, and do we not offer
more elective courses than neces-sary?
5. Are our southern institu-tions
doing as much as they might
to promote the spirit of research?
6. Should each of our southern
institutions undertake to establish
within its jurisdiction some sort
of Research Council?
RELATIONS GROUP

Entries For Bridge
Tourney Come In
Entries are now coming in for
the CARDINAL Bridge Tourna-ment.
Plans are being revised and
enlarged to make this tourna-ment
an event of interest to all
sections and divisions of the Uni-versity.
The CARDINAL wishes
to emphasize that one does not
have to be a champion tourna-ment
bridge player in order to
join in the contest. On the con-trary,
amateurs are expressly in-vited.
The auction event, especi-ally,
is for those who enjoy play-ing
but who are not professionals.
Everyone has a chance to win.
U. of L. faculty members have
also been invited to enter the
tournament. This invitation in-cludes
faculty wives in the event
that they wish to team up with
their husbands. Dr. Richard E.
Haswell is chairman of a faculty
publicity committee.
William O. Carver, of the edi-torial
staff of the Louisville Times,
who is a student in the depart-ment
of Adult Education, and
who holds the position of Presi-
RECORD CROWD
SEES U. OF L. PLAY
Standing Room Sold For “When
Knighthood Was In
Flower”
MISS BROOKER IN LEAD
Up to the present time only
once before has “standing room
only” been sold at the Playhouse.
This was again the case Saturday
night at the performance of
“When Knighthood Was In
Flower.” Many people stood
through the acts of the play in
order that they might see Mary
Tudor, Charles Brandon, and
Henry VIII, enact this charming
drama in the romantic light in
which it was played.
Hester Brooker, who played
Mary Tudor, gave a performance
second to none in the entire his-tory
of The Playhouse. Her
characterization of this tempestu-ous
princess kept the audience
keyed to a high degree of emo-tion
throughout the entire per-formance.
Henry VIII, played by Edward
Nicklies, bellowed and swaggered
true to character, much to the en-thusiastic
delight of the audience.
George Cavanah, as Charles
Brandon, wooed and won Mary
Tudor in typical sixteenth century
fashion.
The supporting cast which
made up the background of this
intriguing drama was more than
adequate.
HOSCH ON RADIO
Melville Hosch will review
Ernest Hemingway’s “Death in
the Afternoon” over WHAS dur-ing
the regular fifteen minute per-iod
of the University of Louisville
Monday, December 12. Mr
Hosch was scheduled to speak last
Tuesday but his speech was
postponed owing to a rearrange'
ment in the radio schedule.
TO LEAD CARDS
Bill Threlkeld was elected cap-tain
of the 1933 U. of L. football
team by his team-mates last Tues-day.
Bill, who will be a junior
next year, performed brilliantly
at center position this season.
BILL THRELKED
Retail Merchants
Refuse To Advertise
With The Cardinal
Dean Neville Miller, Chairman
of the Board of Student Publica-tions,
recently received a letter
from the Retail Merchants Asso-ciation
of Louisville. In the let-ter
the manager of the association
stated their rules concerning ad-vertising
in publications, and the
justification that the directors felt
concerning their not advertising
in The Cardinal. The letter is as
follows:
Dean Neville Miller,
University of Louisville,
City.
Dear Sir:
Your request that our members
be permitted to advertise in the
Cardinal, the official publication
of the University of Louisville,
Frosh Open Cage
Season Tonight
When the U. of L. Freshmen
basketball team swings into ac-tion
tonight against Manual Train-ing
High School, there will be
many familiar faces in their line-up,
as the squad is composed al-most
entirely of members of the
Frosh football team. Gates, Doll,
Beard, Gray, Long, Bertleson,
Ellington, Goss, O’Connell, Put-nam,
Wagner, Weber, Forsee,
Scott and Davison are those who
pastimed with the Freshmen,
while Shellnut, Saunders, Moore,
Costigan and Scheckler are new
to U. of L. athletics.
The Frosh will meet many of
the outstanding local independent
teams, playing the preliminaries to
all home varsity games. Besides
these struggles, the yearlings will
engage some of the other Ken-tucky
colleges freshmen teams in
games of their own. A trip
through Illinois is planned for the
Frosh during the holidays, and it
is certain that the young Cards
will acquit themselves nobly on
this jaunt as well as the rest of
the season.
CONTEST GOES
INTO SIXTH WEEK
Average of $1,578.00 per week
Cash In Receipts From
Advertisers
Make Xmas Shopping=Sales Slips
The game is getting interesting!
We have a long time to go until
the contest is ended, and, there-fore,
the winner is still an un-known
“X.” With everybody try-ing,
who can tell which organiza-tion
will jump ahead? Here’s a
way to solve the problem: Let
“X”=the winning sorority;
individual members; E=effort; I~
continual interest, and, thus, our
simple formula and equation is:
M+E+l=“X”.
These next few weeks really
should bring in a lot of receipts
because, of course, we all do our
Christmas shopping early—and,
of course, we will consult the
Cardinal before each shopping
tour! By patronizing Cardinal
advertisers, your task of Christ-mas
shopping will be much less
tiring, and you will be pleased
with the suggestions they have to
offer. Then, too, sales slips are
given for all these purchases.
Every little bit counts, you know!
And somebody has to win this
contest! Who will it be?

SILVER TEA
Mothers To Be Guests Of Honor
Dec. 5.—The Women’s Stu-dent
Government Association will
give a Mother’s Tea in the Wo-men's
Building, Tuesday, Decem-ber
13, from three to five. Their
purpose is, primarily, to introduce
the Mothers to the Campus be-cause
many of them have never
had the opportunity to visit Bel-knap
Campus and to see the Wo-men’s
Building, a center for activ-ities
sponsored by women’s or-ganizations.
The W. S. G. A. cordially in-vites
all the members of the fac-ulty,
the women of the student
body, and the mothers of all of
the students to attend the tea.
Members of the alumnae and any-one
else who is interested in the
furtherance of women’s activities
are also welcome.
The major project of the W. S.
G. A. this year is the redecoration
of the Women’s Building. They
plan to make it not only a study
center on the campus, but also a
center for recreational activities.
Draw curtains have been pur-chased
and hung as the first step
toward the redecoration. How-ever,
the committee in charge have
a number of other plans in mind.
They plan to make the building an
attractive headquarters for club
meetings and teas sponsored by
various organizations on the
campus.
Dulcenia Straeffer, president
of the W. S. G. A. has appointed
Edith Christie as head of the
Women’s Building Committee.
