Here's to dear old Boston,
Home of the cape and the cod,
Where Lowells speak only to
Apleys,
And the Apleys speak only to
God!
Thus have we revised the fam­ous
ode to Boston after witnessing
the Little Theater Company's hi­larious
production of Marquand
and Kaufman's "The Late George
Apley."
Opening Monday and running
through Thursday, "Apley" pro­vided
four nights of top-notch en­tertainment
for Play»mse pa­trons
who greeted the play with
everything from "nods and becks
and wreathed smiles" to full,
hearty guffaws.
Season's Smoothest Cast
The "Apley" cast was the
smoothest, best coordinated group
assembled by the Little Theater
this season. With nary a quirk or
stammer the masterly satire on
Boston men and morals was un­folded
with sidesplitting glee to
the delight of the entire audience.
Ramey Is Tops
Acting honors for the produc­tion
went to C. Douglas Ramey
whose superlative performance
would set a high mark for any
professional. With the utmost
gravity and sincerity he portray­ed
the tilted-nosed Mr. Apley,
while aetually creating a sense of
pity and understanding for his
character.
With his excellent pantomine,
Mr. Ramey touched fond remem­brances
of a Chaplin of bygone
days. Hiis timing, too, was perfect
in a part which held that art
necessary to create the desired
effect and give emphasis to the
many punch lines.
Superior performances were

Vet Legislation !thowdown
Expected Soon 111~ Congress
The fate of" most veterans' legis­lation
is nearing a Congressional
showdown. It is hoped that most
of the needed bills will be passed.
It appears as if the terminal
leave bonds redemption bill will
be reported favorably on by the
House Committee on Armed Ser·
vices. The bill, providing for re­demption
of the bonds in cash,
was to be out of committee with·
in a reasonable time, according
to Rep. W. W. Blackney (R.,
Mich.).
Not Much Time to Work on Bill
Martin, Republican speaker of
the House, and Blackney put their
heads together and agreed to urge
passage of the bilL However, the
present Congress has only two
and one:-half months more to stay
in session, so the boys had better
stop adjjourning to the cloakrooms
if they want to get anything done.
The Wandering Greeks wan·
dered into glory Thursday eve­ning,
May 15, by taking first
place in the Men's division of the
annual Fryberger Sing held on

Women's division for their second
victory in three years.

large bunch of pink roses by the
students and faculty. She gave
the school many songs and all
her love and devotion.
Attired informally, the winning
men's group came out the main
entrance of the Administration
Building and paraded down the
steps in formation. They were
dressed in dark trousers, white
shirts, and bow ties. Their ar­rangement,

ACC Constitution Ratified
Conditionally By Med School
The House Committee on Vet­erans'
Affairs is now considering
the raise in subsistence. The bill,
which will be presented by a sub­commiUee,
has not yet reached
voting stage. The proposed bill,
representing a compromise be­tween
lthe views of Rep. Meade
(D., Ky.) and Rep. Wheeler (D.,
Ga.) was secretly approved by the
Ramey subcommittee on educa­tion
this week.
Miss Joanne Elrod, Chairman of
the Progress Commission of the
All-Campus Council,, presented
the Men's trophy to Jim Eisman
for the W.G.'s and to Miss Marilyn
Hurst for the Independent Wo·
men. Kappa Delta and Sigma
Kappa were second and third :e­spectively
in the Women's div­ision;
Kappa Alpha and Tau Ka?­pa
Epsilon placed and showed m
the Men's part.
16 Groups Participate
The sixteen groups then formed
on the Administration Building
steps to sing the University fight
song. F ollowing this, while await­ing
Miss Elrod's appearance with
the judges' decision, the group
sang several songs, including
well-known favorites such as,
"Dinah," and "Harvest Moon."
The Wandering Greeks, again
leaders, started one called, "A
Man Without a Woman."
The audience which was esti­mated
at 1000 seemed to think
H.e judges were well qualified
and that they did their job well.
Judges were: Mrs. Selma Ham­lett;
Mrs. Fredrick Stamm; Dr.
Gerhard Herz, Professor of Music
History, University of Louisville;
Mr. Robert Whitney; and Miss
Lillian Elrod.
Judges Had Difficult Task
Selecting the winners was a
difficult task for the judges and
their selections left many a sad
heart, but all felt that the right
ones had been chosen. Mayor
Taylor was to have been a judge
but pressing duties kept him fro n
attending. U. of L.'s new Presi­dent,
Dr. John W. Taylor, and his
wife, were present.
Honors Mrs. Fryberger
The sing is held each year in
honor of Mrs. Agnes M. Fry­berger,
a past teacher of the Uni­ver
sity. It was inaugurated in
1939 just after the death of Mrs.
Fryberger. She attended the first

Blackjack,
Tonk Games
Run In Center
Gambling in the Student Center
has gone underground. Since the
recent one-man raid by a faculty
member campus gamblers have
adopted a policy of caution in
their activities.
The silence around the tables is
somewhat misleading, although
the coins no longer clink during
the games, players may be seen
digging into their pockets at the
end of each hand.
Bets have not diminished since
the raid, however. Stakes at the
black jack table range from five
cents to five dollars while the two
tonk games average from five to
fifteen cents a hand.
Although some stakes appear to
be small, when the time element
is considered a considerable sum
may be won or lost over the
tables. The games generally run
from 9:00 a.m. through the late
afternoon classes.
Those competing in the games
of chance seem to be of a transi­ent
variety ; chairs are emptied
just bef-ore each class period but
are refilled as soon as classes are
let out.
The three tables are never id "~
for longer than ten or fiftec.1
minutes at a stretch.

The Medical School Student
Council ratified the constitution
of the All-Campus Council. Be­fore
the Medical School Council
becomes a member of the ACC,
however, the constitution must
also be ratified by a majority of
the Medical School students.
The ratification was made with
the provision that a proposed
amendment, changing the name
of the All-Campus Council to All­University
Council, is affixed to
the constitution.
If the proposed amendment is
passed and the constitution is
ratified, as amended, by the var­ious
classes of the College of
Medicine, the students of that
school will then elect two repre·
sentatives to the All-University
Council, as designated in the
article on membership.
An additional University elec­tion
will then be necessitated by
the admission of the Medical
School to membership in the All­University
Council since a new
member at large post in that
Council will automatically have
been created.

Faculty And Students Enjoy Annual Cruise
By BILL GOLDEN
"All hands to port" cried the
"Island Queen" stewards, and
1,097 University of Louisville
passengers drifted over to the left
side of the steamer after they
figured out what "port" meant.
Several tons of humanity sufficed
to raise the steamboat's starboard
side from the cobbled wharf and
permitted the "Queen" to swing
into the river for the annual
cruise.
With a swing that almost took
Dave Snyder's car which was
parked a little too near, the boat
started toward the middle of the
channel.
"Oue-Armed Bancllts"
Once underway festivities be·
gan on the quadruple de c_k
steamer as the band started play­ing,
one-armed bandits which
aligned the starboard side of the
dance floor started their pilfering,
and various bridge, blackjack and
tonk games got under ·way.
:No "RiYer Ra!s"
The first deck was devoted to
the more intellectual set (those
who go on a boat ride to see how
the boat runs, an<l to find local
color among the crew). It seems
that the motor of a steamer such
as the Island Queen is compli­cated
and all absorbing, although
the crew is depressingly unpictur­esque:
Not even one could be
classed as a "river rat."

Gaieties on the second deck
went on to the music of the Card·
inals. D a n c i n g occupied the
. merrymakers as young and old
jitterbugged or slow danced ac­cording
to the whim of the band.

out of the audience to add her
singing to the entertainment as

Jenks Memorial
Collection Drive
Held On Campus
Solicitations were made on
campus Wednesday and Thursday
May 23 and 24 for the Jenk's
Memorial Drive. P osters were
placed at key points on campus
and a booth was operated in the
basement of the Administration
Building.
Home Economics majors took
up collections in the Student
Center, the cafeteria, and other
campus focal points.
The proceeds of the drive will
go for the home management
house t'o be built on or near the
campus in the near future. The
amount collected is not known
yet, but the campaigners hope
that this year's goal of $200 has
been reached.
Constitution Changes
Included On Ballot;
Polls Open From 9-3
By BILL WINTER
Seventeen candidates have filed nomination petitions for the All­Campus
Council elec tion-to be held Monday, May 26-with the Dean
of Women or in the office of the Cardinal. Fifteen positions are to be
filled ; five a t-large; two each from Arts and Sciences: Kent; Law;
Music; and Speed Schools respectively.
. With five candidates running in Law School and eight campnign­mg
at-large, it appears there will be quite a struggle for positions. The
Law School candidates are J oseph P. Allen, Daniel B. Boone, Alton
Burckle Jr., Dave Gittleman, and Ralph S. Petrilli. Running at-large
are Harry Bohannon, Dale Droz, Carol Halliday, Joyce Halley, Johnnie
Johnston, Alice Kline, Jim Lay, and Bill Rummage.
Dave Synder and Court White are in the running for the Arts and
Sciences' positions; Yvonne Jeanne Corum and P eggy Tilzhman arc
candidates from Music School.
Polls Set Up ai Three Sr.hools
The Law School election will be held at Law School, the Music
School election is to be held at Gardencourt, and the rest of the elec­tions
will be held in the basement of the Administration Building.
To be eligible a student must have at least a one point standing, be

Long Range Plan
Given By Pres. Taylor
"The quality of an institution is fundamentally determined by its
faculty members," Dr. John W. Taylor, new president of the University
of Louisville, said recently in announcing his long range plan of
"attracting more nationally known people" to our faculty.
"That's our summer job," he added.
Dr. Tc.:ylor declared that a university with a high calibre faculty
will automatically accrue to itself improved buildings and facilities;
thus, the plan will kill two birds with one stone.
"Faculty Important"
University, the City of Louisville,
and the State of Kentucky. As a
result the stack of research ma­terial
in the office has noticeably
diminished.
The president also stated that
he "was most impressed with the
genuineness of my welcome," and
reiterated his appreciation and
recognition of the honor of his
having been selected for his posi­tion
.
and have at least a sophomore
standing.
Charles Avery is in charge of
having the ballots printed; Maeg
Wittmer is taking care of peti­tions;
K. 0 . Lee and Leah Salut­sky
will be in charge of the polls.
Campaign Promises
Some of the candidates for at­large
positions have already be­gun
their campaigns: Joyce Hay­ley
advoC<J.tes "more worthy pro­jects
and more cooperation be­tween
the faculty and the student
body"; when asked to be more
specific, she smiled but declined
to elaborate on her platform.
Alice Kline pledges herself
toward "more unified activities
among schools and more unified
command." She added jokingly,
"I'm in favor of the Four Free­doms
which you may interpret
as you will."
"More Cooperation" Urge:l.
Carol Halliday announces that
she favors "a really active ACC,
(Continued on page 6, col. 2)
"Americans have a tendency to
judge an educational institution
by its physical set-up," the presi­dent
continued; but he added
that its real quality is based on
its assimilation of instructors and
professors outstanding in their
specialized fields. Dr: Taylor also
pointed out that a number of
state institutions throughout the
country have fjjllen into this false
line of reasoning and have spent
several million dollars on build­ings
and campus beautification
while hiring only second rate
faculties. New ODK Pledges
Impressed with Welcome
In order to carry out the long
range plan the school must pro­vide
adequate remuneration and
otherwise present an attractive
appearance to highly rated edu­cators
who might consider accept­ing
posts at this university, the
president explained.
In line with this program, Dr.
Taylor stated that action had been
initiated toward the replacement
of the Dean of the Kent School of
Social Work and the Dean of Men
who have recently resigned their
posts to accept positions else­where.
Several good men are
under consideration, he said, but
the investigations have not reach­ed
the interview stage.

process of "boning up" on the
