THE CARDINAL
VOL. I LOUISVILLE, KY., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1933 NO. 19
ADAMS MADE
BUILDINGS AND
GROUNDS DIRECTOR
L. O. Adams, graduate of the
University of Illinois, has been se-lected
as the university’s new di-rector
of buildings and grounds.
For the past nine years, Mr.
Adams, after being a student en-gineer
for General Electric, has
been their specialized sales agent
in Louisville.
In the latter part of October,
Mr. Adams began working with
Dean Brigham, of the Speed
Scientific School. He assumed his
responsibility on January 16, 1933,
as director of Buildings and
Grounds of the University.
MR. L. O. ADAMS
Dr. Pitkin Spoke To
Public Forum Sunday
Dr. Pitkin, who addressed the
Louisville Public Forum last Sun-day
evening on “Technocracy,”
presented his views of the subject
after seven years research in en-ergy
control and the problems of
the consumer. He divided Tech'
nocracy, as we know it today, into
three branches: (1) an energy
survey of North America, (2) a
group of economic theories built
up on the energy survey and
maintaining that technocracy is to
bring an end to the present politi'
cal and economic systems by plac-ing
the government under the con-trol
of experts, and (3) a great
advertising venture. The third,
which is largely propagandistic, is
of little consequence; the first and
to some extent the second have
produced valuable information.
The causes of our present de'
pression, the speaker maintained,
may be attributed to a number of
things. In 1918 there was in the
United States enough machinery
to supply all the consumer’s needs.
Then followed the period of war
time inflation of machinery. At
the same time the population was
increasing to such a great extent
that there are today approximately
23,000,000 useless workers with
92,000 added every twelve
months. Together with this pro'
duction skill is increasing at a
greater rate than population.

destruction of industry came

DR. VINSEL TO
ADDRESS FORUM
“War Debts And Reparations”
Dr. K. P. Vinsel, head of the
Political Science Department, is to
address the Louisville Public For-um
next Sunday evening on “War
Debts and Reparations.” Dr. Vin-sel,
who is recognized as one of
the foremost lecturers in Louis-ville,
has made a detailed study of
the War Debt situation and re-lated
subjects, thereby being qual-ified
to deliver such a lecture.
The lecturer is well known to
Louisville audiences through his
brilliant series of discourses on
“The World Today” before the
Louisville League of Women Vot-ers.
Coming to Louisville only
two years ago, Dr. Vinsel has
raised himself to an enviable po-sition
both at the University and
throughout the intellectual centers
of Louisville by his wide knowl-edge
of politics, and his accurate
interpretation of current events
and their significance in the politi-cal
and economic life of the world.
Considering the quality and cal-iber
of the speakers who address
the Forum, the University of Lou-isville
feels honored in having a
man of such qualifications and ca-pabilities
on its faculty.
Attending this lecture will in-deed
prove itself intellectually re-munerative.
CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE
TREND OF TIMES
The Sino-Japanese Conflict
By Henry Noble Sherwood
Without doubt the controversy
between China and Japan is the
most acute question in world poli-tics
today. The issue between
these two Oriental neighbors
might have been limited to them-selves
if it had not involved the
provisions of three treaties which
they had made with other states
previous to the outbreak of the
present trouble. To these treaties
let us now give our attention.
Covenant of the League
In 1919, at the close of the
Great War, practically all the na-tions
of the world entered into an
agreement which established the
League of Nations. The terms of
the agreement, known as the Cov-enant
of the League, provide that
if there should arise between the
members “any dispute likely to
lead to a rupture, they will submit
the matter either to arbitration or
to judicial settlement, or to in-quiry
by the Council, and they
agree in no case to resort to war
until three months after the award
of the arbitrators.” Both China
and Japan are members of the
League and therefore legally
bound by this provision concern-ing
the settlement of international
STRAEFFER-SHIVELY
SMITH-MOORE
WIN ELECTION
The Thoroughbred Contest
electing the four most popular stu-dents
of Liberal Arts, turned out
to be a great success. Duddy
Straeffer was selected most repre-sentative
woman, winning 2 to 1
over her nearest opponent. Less
Shively was elected the typical
“Jo-College” with Joe Steiger and
Bob Montgomery running close.
Marjorie Moore finally nosed out
Toddy Barrickman for the title of
“Betty Coed.” “Bill” (Socialist)
Smith was elected most represent-ative
man over Paul Jeffries, his
closest rival. The pictures of the
contest winners will appear in the
feature section of the 1933 Thor-oughbred.
Flame Shield Invented
By Dr. Vernon
In the January issue of the “In-dustrial
and Engineering Chemis-try
Journal,” is printed an article
written by Dr. Clarence C. Vern-on,
of University of Louisville.
Dr. Vernon describes the con-struction
of a very simple but
highly efficient flame shields, made
from tin cans of the size used for
prepared soups. In addition to
simplicity of design, the inexpen-siveness
of this flame shield is also
acclaimed.
INTER-FRATERNITY
COUNCIL TO
SPONSOR DANCE
Plan To Give Combined Formal
At the last meeting of the Inter-
Fraternity Council, it was unani-mously
decided to induce all Lib-eral
Arts Fraternities to pool their
resources, and give one big dance
instead of five or six separate
formals as has been the custom in
the past.
It is hoped that the dance will
be the highspot in the social ac-tivities
for the University of Lou-isville.
No definite plans have
been settled upon as yet, but the
dance will probably be given
sometime in May, with the music
being furnished by one of the
country’s leading dance bands.
Pi Phi Sponsors
Russian Picture
The Road to Life, a Russian
picture with English sub titles,
will be presented at the Towers
Theatre, Tuesday and Wednes-day,
February 7 and 8 under the
auspices of the Falls City Alum-nae
of Pi Beta Phi. Admission
will be forty cents, the proceeds
to be given to the Settlement
School and Scholarship Funds of
the organization.
MOREHEAD TIPS
CARDINALS 36-33
Frosh Return Intact and Smear
Nika Club by 39-13
Morehead’s Flying Eagles flew
into Louisville for the second time
this year and were presented with
a 36-33 victory by the obliging U.
of L. Cardinals. The boys seemed
to be laboring under great diffi-culty
in an attempt to find out
what the game was all about;
while they were doing this, More-head
slipped out in front and won
the game. It was the worst form
U. of L. has displayed all year.
Coach Money’s starting five
looked exceptionally potent on
handling the ball and ran up a nice
lead on the Eagles. Just before
the half, the Cards suffered a lapse
of memory and Morehead jumped
ahead by 15-11. The subs, who
were injected at the half, allowed
Morehead to get a 9 point advant-age
before they started the fire-works.
U. of L. tied the score on
sensational shooting at 29-29 and
32-32, but Morehead did a little
scoring of their own and finally
emerged triumphant in a furious
finish.
Tom Giannini, Kent Leather-man,
Les Wright, Claude Boone
and Kenny Dick started for U. of
L., while Toots Bertleson, Ash
Strull, Bill Threlkeld, Norb Kirch-dorfer,
Armin Willig and Carville
Clore saw service in the role of
substitutes. Wright scored 13
points, Boone E, and Giannini 5,
for the majority of U. of L’s
points.
A pleasant surprise greeted
those who were early enough to
witness the U. of L. Frosh-Nika
Club encounter. Coach Rollie
Donovan's beaming face was the
first thing to be seen as you
walked in the door. He certainly
had a right to smile because four
of his original “wonder five” did
a little tall thinking and passed
their finals, thereby becoming eli-gible
for future competition.
Harry Long, Vic Goss, “E. P.”
Bertleson, Kenny Doll were the
lost sheep who returned to the
foal. These four with Saunders
and Forsee alternating did some
heavy scoring and close guarding
and won over the Nikas by 39-13
Play was very ragged, but very
gratifying to every one. Keep at
the books, fellows, and let that be
a lesson to you.
