MUNICIPAL COLLEGE BEGINS REGULAR SESSION ENTRANCE APPLICATIONS FROM SEVERAL STATES Faculty Holds Meeting; Makes Few Changes After a summer during which two sessions, one of five weeks and the other of three, were held, Louisville Municipal College begins its regular session 1938-1939 this week. An unusually large number of entrance applications is reported, not only from Central High School, and West Kentucky Industrial College, in addition to applications from the Indiana Falls Cities and other out-of-state localities. The first faculty meeting of the year was held on Tuesday. Preliminary and placement tests for new students were given on Wednesday and Thursday, and Friday will be spent in perfecting details of organization. Freshman and sophomores will register on Monday, September 12, beginning at 9 o'clock; juniors and seniors will register on Tuesday, and classes will begin Wednesday morning. Evening school registration for students of all classifications is scheduled for the following Monday, September 19, beg inning at 7 p.m. Faculty Changes. Changes in the industrial staff will be few. A new face will be that of Floyd W. Crawford, who has been appointed to a full-time teaching position in history. Mr. Crawford is a graduate of Morehouse College and a Master of Arts from the University of Colorado. He has done additional graduate work at Columbia University and the University of Chicago and is a candidate for the doctorate in History at the University of Chicago. He has had several years of college teaching experience and comes to Municipal College from Johnson C. Smith University, Charlotte, North Carolina, where he was head of the department of history and political science. Henry S. Wilson, assistance professor of chemistry and chairman of the natural sciences division, will reassume his teaching duties after having the past year in study at Indiana University, from which he received the doctorate in chemistry in June. Miss Virginia M. Lacy, librarian, also returns from a year of study in the Library School of the University of Illinois, which conferred upon her the degree of Master of Arts in Library Science. Mrs. Nancy B. Woolridge, instructor in English, has been granted a leave of absence for this year to study at the University [of?] Chicago under the terms of a General Education Board fellowship. During her absence Dean Lane and Mrs. Hazel B. Williams, instructor in German and English, will join with Miss Henrietta L. Herod, head of the department, in carrying on the work of the department of English. Other Changes and Items of Interest. Beginning with this year the department of education will function as a separate department cooperating with all divisions instead of as a member of the division of social sciences. The freshman survey course will be extended from one semester to two and will be reorganized so as to add materials in personal health, hygiene, and social culture. The sophomore course in problems of the Negro in American life, offered for the first time last year, will be continued, as will the courses in library science designed to prepare teacher-librarians for secondary and elementary schools. For the convenience of students and faculty members the college book store has been moved from its former location to lighter and airier quarters in Steward Hall, just across from the administrative offices and adjoining the libary. During the summer the grading and campus beautification which has been going on for some months under W. P. A. auspices has continued and is nearing completion. Football enthusiasts will be glad to learn that entirely new equipmnt has been purchased, that the use of a practice field near the college has been secured, and that an addition to the coaching staff has been made in the person of Melvin ("Mel") Whedbee, who will be backfield coach again after an absence of a year. NEW TEACHERS APPOINTED IN LOCAL SCHOOL SYSTEM Following the meeting of the Board of Education Tuesday night the following were appointed as new teachers in the local system: Central High School, Lawrence Chavis, automobile mechanic; Madison Junior High School, Carl S. Quillin, printing; Margaret Samuels, clothing; Katherine L. Cole, English, Social Studies, Science and Mathematics; Jackson Junior High School, Mary Elizabeth Bright, English and Social Studies. Miss Bright who is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. A. J. Bright, is a graduate of Central High School and Louisville Municipal College. She substituted at Madison Junior High School last year for W. P. Offutt who was on a leave of absence at the University of Michigan. Miss Bright studied at Columbia University this summer. Miss Cole, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I. Willis Cole, was an honor graduate from Central High School and Louisville Municipal College. She completed her residential work for her master's in French at Indiana University in 1937, and was substitute teacher in French and English at Livingstone College for Mrs. Willie Raines Carrington also of Louisville, who was on leave of absence. 600,000 GET S.S.A. NUMBERS Over 600,000 residents of Kentucky have now applied for social security account numbers. This statement was made this week by William M. Duffy, Manager of the Social Security Board field office in Louisville, Kentucky. Mr. Duffy also stated that nearly 250 residents of Kentucky received monthly payments under the old-age insurance part of the Social Security plan in July, the average lump-sum benefit being in excess of $40. All told, residents of Kentucky received over $9,000 in lump-sum payments under this plan. WOMAN WOULD TAKE OWN LIFE A charge of disorderly conduct was placed against Mrs. C. R. Livell of 1513 Hale Street by police when she was arrested last week. Mrs. Livell is reported as having attempted to commit suicide when she drank an amount of iodine. She was severely burned about her mouth and throat and was rushed to the City Hospital. Mrs. Livell refused to give any reason for her act. GRAND JURY FREES KRAMER David Kramer, former grocer at Tenth and Magazine Sts., was freed by the Jefferson County Grand Jury last week, before which he was arraigned on the charges of manslaughter and arson. The charges against Kramer were the result of the mysterious burning of the grocery and from which Ulysses Mathis, 16, who was employed by Kramer received burns which proved fatal. On his death bed the colored youth told the authorities that Kramer promised to pay him $50.00 to set fire to the store, after he had collected the insurance. The youth who was severely burned from the explosion died at the City Hospital. In the opinion of the grand jury, the evidence was insufficient to indict and convict Kramer.
