VOL. I LOUISVILLE, KY., FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1933 NO. 18
“CULTURE” IS
FORUM TOPIC
“No Culture In Business”
Dr. Charles Obermeyer, who
addressed the Louisville Public
Forum last Sunday evening on
“Culture and the Problem of
Happiness” presented many urn
usual and startling ideas. Since
we are all seeking happiness and
most of us are at least attempting
to pursue culture, this was a very
significant lecture.
Probably the most astonishing
idea developed by Dr. Obermeyer
was that “a business man cannot
be really cultured, since he has
personal profit as the objective of
his work.” The cult of business,
asserted the lecturer, is diametri-
\
cally opposed to culture; culture is
altruistic, whereas business is ego-centric.
Actual culture is in es-sence
the untangible, individuals-tic,
objective digestion of personal
experience, for human benefit.
“Modern society,” the lecturer
contended, “our heritage of the
eighteenth and nineteenth cen-turies,
our industrial social sys-tem,
is not a society, since it does
not realize its duties to all mem'
bers, recognizing each alike. There
is a pressing need for the construe-tion
of a society in which all hu-man
beings can live.”
The problem of happiness is the
problem of either facing or evad-ing
facts; psychologically the
world to-day is evading them. Hu-manity
is made up of dreamers;
we are all either building sky-scrapers
in Utopia, or reminiscing
about what was or might have
been. If we are to progress in the
establishment of anew social or-der,
we must quit evading and
dreaming; we must face the facts.
Faculty Adopts
New Entrance Rule
At a Faculty meeting held on
January 20, anew rule was passed
concerning the concealment of
previous college attendance. The
rule is, “A student who failed to
declare on his registration card
his attendance at another institu-tion
of college rank shall be
dropped from the College of Lib-eral
Arts, when the concealment
is discovered, for the remainder
of the semester and for the two
subsequent semesters; but this
rule shall apply only when it is
evident that the student is trying
to obtain an unfair advantage by
the concealment.”
The rule passed is that when a
student leaves another college
without an honorable dismissal or
is dropped for poor scholarship,
he cannot enter the U. of L.
When a student transfers from a
college where he is on probation,
he must enter the U. of L. on pro-bation.
Another case where this
rule would be applied would be
when a student has played on the
Freshman team of another school
and then tries to conceal that fact
in order to be eligible for the U.
of L. Freshman team.

FAVORITES WIN IN
L. A. INTRAMURALS
Delta Sigs Win 76-1
Dope ran true to form in the
second round of the Liberal Arts
Intramural League, with the fa-vorites
coming through in fine
style. Big scores were predomi-nant,
the outstanding victories be-ing
Delta Sig’s 76-1 triumph over
Alpha Zeta and Sigma Chi Sig-ma’s
38-10 win over Kappa Alpha.
Wisconsin and the Utahians
met in the curtain raiser in what
proved to be a most exciting tilt.
Utah played with but four men in
the first half and were trailing by
10-8 at the start of the second
chucker. Using five men, the
Utahians seemed to lose some of
their pep, and lost by 25-18.
Edelen and Mulhall were again
outstanding for Wisconsin. Weit-
Zen and Bayer looked good for
Utahians.
Sigma Chi Sigma made it two
straight by trimming K. A. 38-10.
Baxter gave Kappa Alpha an early
3-0 lead over Sigma Chi Sigma,
but Noe and Bunton soon found
the basket and Sigma Chi Sigma
led by 25-5 at the half. K. A
came back with a short lived rally
in the second period, Deters lead-ing
the attack. Noe, with 19
points, Bunton with 11, both from
Sigma Chi Sigma; and Baxter and
Deters of K. A. were the offen-sive
stars. Robinson’s floor work
was a feature of the tilt.
The Liberal Arts Cardinals
took the Liberal Arts Frosh into
camp by 27-9 in an exceedingly
NORTH CENTRAL
MAKES STUDY
Colleges Dissatisfied With
Standards
What is a college, and why?
This is a question which has been
up in America for nearly three
hundred years and there are about
seven hundred answers to it; as
many answers as there are col-leges.
But there is a study going on at
the present time which proposes
to give more light on this question
from one angle at least, than any-thing
else that has ever been done
in America. The North Central
Association of Colleges and Sec-ondary
Schools is an accrediting
agency for these institutions in the
territory beginning with Ohio on
the East and reaching as far as
the Rocky Mountains on the
West, and from the Canadian
border to the Ohio River, and in
the Southwest to the Mexican
border. It includes about fifteen
states.
This Association has become
dissatisfied with the standards
which have now been in use for
a number of years, by the use of
which a college is accredited or is
not accredited. These standards
have been almost entirely quanti-tative
in nature. They stated, for
example, that an approved college
“Working Women”
Is Theme Of
Chicago Professor
Before industry can hope to
raise its standards and secure
greater efficiency, it must offer
women an equal opportunity in
competing with men. This is the
conclusion reached by Sophonisba
P. Breckinridge, professor of
Public Welfare Administration in
the University of Chicago, after
she made an extensive study of
the activities of women outside
the home, as a part of the Presi-dent’s
Research Committee on So-cial
Trends.
“As long as women’s relation to
industry is discussed with that of
’aliens, Mexicans, and Negroes,’
all acknowledged to be seriously
disadvantaged groups,” she says,
“it is evident that industry is not
making full use of the variety of
abilities possessed by women.”
Because of the economic depres-sion
it is hard to determine
whether women are entering busi-ness
at an increasing rate, but
Professor Breckinridge has found
that in offices, stores, and general
clerical work women are finding

After much persuasion Mr. Levy
Moore, a Kappa Alpha pledge, agreed
to have his picture entered in the
Thoroughbred’s Most Handsome Man
Contest.

FACULTY WIVES
HEAR MRS. JOLAS
Miss Burkhart Is Vocalist
The Faculty Wives Club of the
University held their regular
monthly luncheon meeting in the
Alumni Rooms on January sixth.
The Music School had charge of
the program. A most delightful
piano recital was given us by Mrs.
Jacques Jolas. She played selec-tions
by Bach, Scarlotti, Bach-
Hess, and McDowell. Miss Eliz-abeth
Burket sang four numbers
for us, two of which were in Ger-man.
Miss Burket was accom-panied
by Miss Cara Sapin. Fol-lowing
the meeting about twenty
of the ladies sewed for the Red
Cross.
Mrs. Jenks, a member of the
club and also a professor in the
school, underwent a serious oper-ation
at the Baptist Hospital on
the day after New Year’s.
Mrs. Ayers has been spending
several weeks with her mother in
Sistersville, W. Va.
Rhodes Scholar
Addresses Woodcock
Mr. Aubrey M. Cates, Jr., gave
an interesting speech Monday
night, January 23rd, to the Wood-cock
Society. His subject was
“European Scholarship.” Mr.
Cates is the first graduate of the
University of Louisville to receive
a Rhodes Scholarship. He re-
THOROUGHBRED SLOWED UP BY FINAL EXAMINATIONS
As far as activities go, this week just “ain’t,” but all Thoroughbred committees
will be at work harder than ever next week.
The £2.00 price will hold good until February 11, but all books not paid for by
that date will be charged at the £2.50 price. Four hundred books must be sold before
active work on the Thoroughbred can commence.
U. OF L. WINS
OVER CENTRE
Freshmen Also Win
U. of L. took the measure of
Centre by 44-32 in what appeared
to be a football game rather than
a nice gentle game of basketball.
Both teams observed the new
1932 rules governing football, as
no flying tackles or flying wedges
were observed. In the prelimin-ary,
the Frosh “seconds” staged a
magnificent rally to defeat the
Centre Looies by 28-26. Two free
throws by Roy Moore in the clos-ing
minutes of the contest cinched
the game for the Frosh.
Les Wright and Tom Giannini
were the stars for the Cards, and
it’s probably a safe bet to say that
they saw plenty of stars during
their stay in the battle. U. of L.
broke into an early lead, mostly
on fouls and were never headed,
enjoying a 21-17 lead at the half.
Armin Willig started at Center
for U. of L., and he managed to
get the tip off all the time, besides
getting three personals called on
him in short order. Toots Bertie -
son played the best game he has
played at home so far, and he
seemed to enjoy the rough going.
Coach Money substituted freely
and the following saw service for
the Cardinals: Wright, Willig,
Giannini, Dick, Bertleson, Bocne,
Strull, Leatherman, Threlkeld and
Kirchdorfer.
If U. of L. plays a few more
games like the Centre struggle,
there will be no necessity for
spring football. Maybe that’s what
it is now. How about it Coach?
Bank Head Talks On
“Trade as a Profession”
On Friday morning, January
20, Mr. E. S. Woosley, vice pres-ident
of the First National Bank,
addressed the Freshman Survey
class on “Trade as a Profession.”
Mr. Woosley emphasized the
importance of trade all through
history as well as in the present
day. He remarked that through
commerce the alphabet was given
to Europe, and that by the same
means the world became ac-quainted
with science and art.
Trade has been one of the most
important factors in the making
of history.
Refuting the statement that
business men know comparatively
little about such subjects as litera-ture,
Mr. Woosley pointed out
that some of the best informed
men on literary matters are those
who have made commerce their
profession.
Business is a profession, how-ever,
which requires hard work,
Mr. Woosley warned. The great-est
pleasure one can derive from
life is probably working, and for
this trade furnishes a splendid op-portunity.
Most of the presidents
and other high officers of the great
companies in America today at-tained
their high positions by
working up from the very bottom.
Commerce is not a field open only
to the male sex, he went on. Wo-men,
too, may choose business as
a life work, entering secretarial
positions particularly. As for pay.
