BOAT TRIP NEEDS
300 SUPPORTERS
BY FRIDAY NOON
Advance Sale of 300 Makes
Possible Chartering
Floating Palace
If you haven’t bought your
ticket for the boat trip to Han-over
do so at once, for if the ad-vance
sale of tickets reaches the
300 mark by tomorrow noon the
boat committee will be able to
charter the Island Queen, finest
steamer on the inland waters, ac-cording
to George Rieger, chair-man
of the committee.
Students who were chilled to the
bone on the last trip will be glad
to know that the first two decks
of the Island Queen are enclosed
by glass and steam-heated. Bad
weather will not hamper the ex-cursion
in the least. Meals can
be served cafeteria style in a din-ing
room that will seat a thousand
people. Its ballroom accommodat-ing
2,000 furnishes an excellent
dancing floor.
These accommodations will be
available if, and only if, 300 or
more people buy their tickets be-fore
noon tomorrow, Friday, Oc-tober
11. Should the subscription
be insufficient, a smaller boat will
be chartered. The boat trip will
be given regardless, but its suc-cess
depends entirely on the stu-dent
body. Theirs also is the
responsibility in deter mining
whether everyone enjoys himself
to the utmost, for the use of this
luxurious steamer is dependent up-on
the advance sale of tickets.
Entertainment will be unparal-leled
if the Island Queen is chart-ered,
according to Rieger. Danc-ing,
games, an amateur contest, a
fraternity-sorority contest, and a
“Double Moonlight,” in which the
students of the University of
Louisville will be host to the stu-dents
of Hanover College after the
game in a two hour moonlight trip
further up the river, are plannee
by the Committee. The “Double
Moonlight” plans await the sanc-tion
of the University Council, but
the outlook for them is favorable,
Rieger said.
A unique advertising procedure
will be resorted to in publicizing
the trip. Jack Moore, a sopho-more
at Speed, will make an air-

AUTHORIZED BY BOARD
Repeated queries about a
Thoroughbred have resulted in the
decision of the Board of Publica-tions
to authorize the issuance ol:

body of the University of
Louisville evinces sufficient inter-est
in its publication through its
subscriptions, according to a
statement from R. E. Blackwell,
Director of the Board.
The Board, which is strongly
favorable to the proposition, has
instructed the directors of the

Deans Give Assent
For 'Date Bureau'
Prospective plans for a “date
bureau” in the College of Liberal
Arts to furnish “dates” from the
applicant’s specifications were
given impetus at a meeting of the
Student Council Tuesday.
Originated by three freshmen,
L. R. Jackson, Roy Pennington,
and Edwin Otis, the plans for the
bureau have the backing of Dean
J. J. Oppenheimer, and Dean Hil-da
Threlkeld, in addition to that
the student council. Details of
the scheme, undecided as yet, wil
be worked out by Irving Lipetz
and Ray jrepresenting
the student council, and the three
originators of the plan.
Leopold to Lead Roaring 40
Robert Leopold was named by
the council to organize the new
cheering section, the Roaring
Forty, into a concentrated group
with elected officers. It is plan-ned
to let the Forty take a leading
part in organizing pep stunts and
other campus activities.
The annual pep rally and bon-fire
of the football season will take
place this year on October 25, be-fore
the game with Eastern State
Teachers College, the council an-nounced.
After the rally, accord-ing
to present plans, sororities and
fraternities will hold open house.
The student council dance of
October 5 was acclaimed by the
council as the most successful it
has ever sponsored, especially
from the financial angle. $84.50
clear profit was announced by Ray
Rollings, chairman of the dance
R. Halliburton Talks
For Forum On Nov. 24
World Famous Author, Lec-turer
to Tell of Journey
Over Alps
by Robert N. KelsO, Jr.
Richard Halliburton, famous
world traveler, will be brought to
Louisville November 24 by the
Louisville Public Forum, which is
again sponsored by the University
Alumni Association. Halliburton
has just returned from a trip over
the Alps on an elephant in emula-tion
of that famed warrior of
ancient Carthage, Hannibal.
“Despite rumors to the contrary
circulated in America, Hallibur-ton’s
elephant expedition was a
complete success,” his agent an-nounced,
“and gives him the most
dramatic and amusing story he
has ever had to tell.”
Under the impetus of his “Seven
League Boots,’’ which term the
adventurer uses as a title for his
lecture, he crossed the Alps astride
his pachyderm, passed through
Italy, and spent two months in
Ethiopa as “the guest of King
Haile Selassie, and was “allowed
to observe at close range the pro-gress
of the Italian-Ethiopian
war.” Halliburton also spent all
last winter in Russie and has much
to say on life in the Soviet Re-public—“
and he is not afraid to
say it, as he does not expect to go
back,” the agent adds.
Seven other lectures of note
will be presented by the Forum,
the Alumni Association announces,
the “best speakers available on
the respective subjects, and cer-tainly
the best forum speakers
ever presented to a Louisville au-dience.”
The program for the
1935* 1 season is as follows:
November 24, 1935—Richard
Halliburton, speaking on “Seven
League Boots, over the Alps,
through Italy and into Ethiopia.”
December 5, 1935—Upton

MISS JACKSON
Law School Briefing
Service Is Resumed
Members of the Kentucky bar
will again be aided by a briefing
staff in investigating points of law
that are more adequately covered
by the University’s law library.
This is a free service to state
lawyers and attorneys, and en-tails
the submission of a complete
brief of authorities on the subject
in question.
Only students ranking B or bet-ter
are picked for membership on
the staff. This year’s additions to
the staff are the following: E. Ol-lie
Mershon, Jr., H. Appleton
Federa, and Marshall Bensinger.
The following students comprise
the part of the staff carried over
from last year; Malcolm John-son,
Selma M. Solinger, Raymond
Bossmeyer, James Ratliff, anc
Samuel R. Wells.
Seventy-five complete briefs
were compiled for state lawyers
last year by the briefing staff. The
chairman of the present staff has
not been elected from among the
eight members.

the teaching of art. Dr. Krauthei-mer
will be here for the second

U.-L. TO SHOW TALKIE
‘THE HUMAN ADVENTURE’
SCHEDULED FOR OCT. 8
AT AUDITORIUM
Check Friday, November 8, on
your calendar as bringing the most
important event of the school
year. A contract has been signed
by the officials of the University
to show “The Human Adventure,”
an eight reel talking picture which
sketches the rise of Man from
savagery to civilization, at the
Louisville Memorial Auditorium
on that day.
“The Human Adventure,” re-quiring
more than three years to
complete, was produced under
the scientific supervision of Dr.
James H. Breasted, famous arche-ologist
and historian, and Director
of the Oriental Institute, Univer-sity
of Chicago, largest archeolo-gical
organization in the world.
Direction and narration of the film
is done by his son, Charles
Breasted, Executive Secretary of
the Institute.
In writing the story of “The
Human Adventure” which his
voice also narrates from the
screen and in directing the picture,
Charles Breasted’s purpose has
been to make a specialized subject
as intelligible and fascinating to
the lay public as to the students
of the Colleges. This pioneer task
has been so successfully accom-plished
that wherever the picture
has been presented, the audiences
have comprised thousands of
people from all the educational
and cultural groups of the com-munity.
The film grows out of the re-searches
and explorations of the
Oriental Institute—the first and
only laboratory of what Dr.
Breasted describes in the film as
“the most remarkable process
known to us in the universe: the
rise of Man from savagery to
civilization.’’
The picture carries the audience
by airplane through the lands
where civilization first arose—
Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Anatolia,
Iraq, and Persia—and whither the
Institute has dispatched alto-gether
some 14 expeditions. Eight
of these are observed while actual-ly
engaged in the scientific recov-ery
of the lost chapters of the
human adventure.
Special planes were chartered
and professional cameramen were
employed to produce a story which
has never before been told on the
screen. Two separate trips were
made from Chicago to the near
east to produce the film. More
than 32,000 feet of negative were
exposed and much of the film was
made from the air in more than
9,000 miles of flying.
Watch the news columns of the
Cardinal for further notice about
the showing of this unparalleled
production.
