Budapest Quartet Is Outstanding
By LINA MAGRUDER
Easily the most outstanding concert of the current season was the
performance of the Budapest String Quartet at the Playhouse last
Saturday evening. The enthusiastic capacity audience was more than
repaid for its high expectations.
Dr. N .. H. Kelley
The world-famous quartet is Heads Psy~h
composed of Josef Roismann,
first violinist, Edgar Ortenberg,
second . Jlinist, Boris Kroyt,
violist, and Mischa Schneider,
violoncellist. No doubt the foot­stomping
and prolonged applause
which followed the program must
have been extremely gratifying
to the artists.
In the words of the composer,
Franz Joseph Haydn, whose
quartet Opus 33, No. 3 opened the
program,. he was writing "in a
new and special manner." 'l'his
q uartct is indeed in a freer,
stronger style than his earlier
music; the rhythm of the rondo
movement being unusually ex­hilerating.
It is interesting too
that the tempi of the second and
third movements are reversed in
order from the usual classical
procedure of slow and fast re­spectively,
and that the minuet is
replaced by a scherzo - an inno­vation
usually associated with
Beethoven.
Milhaud's Seventh Played
Darius Milhaud's Seventh
Quartet. written in 1925, was the
least familiar of the three WOi"ks
heard during the evening. It is a
composition distinctly Frencn in
flavor, interesting and compara­tively
modern in technique, anp
light in mood. The slow move­ment,
in which all instruments
were muted, was particularly ef­fective.
Certainly the Budapest's
fine reading of this u nfamlliar
work will extend the compass of
its performances.
Opus 131 Played
Climaxing the evening was the
playing of Opus 131 by Ludwig
Van Beethoven - one of the most
profound works a n d greatest
musical masterpieces of all time.
In it the composer breaks all
classical concepts of quartet writ­ing
and creates a masterpie!!c
which undoubtedly will be held
in almost reverent estcerh by
musicians for generations to
come.
From the deeply penetrating
first movement, which is in the
form of a slow fugue, and through
the unusual variations, scherzo,
final allegro, and three shorter
movements of this magnificent
work, the artists an~ listeners
were completely absorbed. Very
seldom is it the listener's priv­ilege
to hear such a combi:lfttion
of rare musical creation com­bined
with equally rare artistic
achievement.

"Sulpha drugs, which doctors
throughout the ct _ntry have
ruined" by advertising their sim­plicity
and infalhbility are no
longer considered to be the best
cure for venereal diseases," said
Dr. John R. Pate of the Kentucky
State Board of Health in his con­vocation
lecture to t~ e students
of this University in the Play­house
<, 12:00 p.m. Wednesday,
February 5.
Speaking on the subject of "So­cial
Hygiene in Relation to So­cial
Diseases", Dr. Pate said that
due to the two laws, passed in re­cent
years by Kentucky Legisla­tur~
s. concerning compulsory
blc 'd tests before maniage and
of expectant mothers, the num­ber
of stillbirths in this state had
decreased 73 per cent. He added

others. ..
that similar laws were in effect
in 36 states in this country and he
believes the other states will pass
such legislation in the near fu-ture.
Penicillin Treatment
Dr. Pate cited numerous in­stances
where blood tests for
syphilis and gonorrhea would
have saved taxpayers thousands
of dollars had the blood tests
been given early enough to cure
the diseases before the patients
reached the stage where they had
to be confined in institutions. He
pointed out that under modern
treatment with penicillin, syphilis
can be cured in nine days and
gonorrhea in three hours.
Purpose Of Talk
The purpose of the doctor's talk
to the scattered audience, pre­dominantly
male, was to poi:- t
auf to them their responsibility as
University students, future lead­ers,
and parents in their com­munities,
to enlighten others
as to the importance of blood
tests and the curing of the di­seases
in the early stages. He
stressed the point that it was no
longer considered in bad taste to
discuss the . subject of venereal
disease and pointed out that only
by dispelling, misconceptions and
superstitions held by many peo­ple
could the percentages of the
diseases be reduced.
Dr. Pate also gave a brief his­tory
of syphilis and said that it is

Employees In All Schools Of University
To Benefit By U of L Wage Increases
By LES GADDIE
"All we know is what we read in the papers" seems to be the
position in which the faculty members of the University of Louisville
find themselves in regard to the pay raise announced recently by
Louisville newspapers.
Included in a recommendation of suggested salary increases,
drawn up by a committee of members of the American Association of
University Professors on this campus and approved by that body, sub­mitted
to the Board of Trustees was a request that the A~sociation be
informed of any decision or action taken by the Board by February 15.
As yet the AAUP has received no official word whatever that salary
increases have been approved by the Board .

Is Revived
The Kent School of Social Work
Student Council, defunct during
the war, has been revived. At a
dinner meeting held Friday night,
February 7, at the French Village,
an executive board was formed.
General Chairman of the board

Chairman, Clyde Van Metre, Ac­tion
Chairman, Brenta Brown;
and Secretary and Treasurer, Jess
Cusick.
The purpose of the body is to

to become better acquainted with
each other as students of the Kent
School, (3) to coordinate civic in­terests
irt Louisville with Kent
School activities and learn how to
be a force in the community, and
(4) to have a medium through
which they can discuss the prob­lems
of education with members
of the faculty for better working
efficiency on matters concerning
students of the school.
The next meeting of the Coun­cil
is scheduled for February 27,
at which Dean Cronin of the Kent
School will address the students

Kent School Dean
Will Leave Soon
For Connecti·cut
By NATALIE FARWELL
Acting President F. W. Stamm
has announced that he has ac­cepted
the resignation of Dean
John L. Cronin, Dean of the Kent
School of Social Work. Dr. Cronin
is to head a newly estabUshed
school of social work at the Uni­versity
of Connecticut, at Hart­ford.
The resignation is to become ef­fective
in July.
"People of this community do
not seem to fully appreciate the
excellence of their University."
Dr. Cronin stated, "Having been
on the faculty of two great Uni­versities,
the University of Chica­~
o and the University of Notre
Dame, it seems to me that the
University of Louisville, with its
limited financial resources has
been able to attract a remarkable

for whom the School of Social
Work is a living memorial, was
able with his genius to build for
the community a great Univer­sity
for which the City of Louis­ville
should be more proud.

Participating in the program

Dr. Robert Warner, faculty ad­visor

and the program was

The theme of the discussion ran
the entire gamut of affairs con­cerning
the veteran from isola­tionism
to race relations. There
was very little agreement on any
one point except that the modern
veteran does not belong to a "lost

to a "found" generation.
Following the dinner, the-near

A Student Building has been
purchased by the University of
Louisville, it was reported Tues­day,
Febn•ary 11 by Acting Pres­ident
F. W. Stamm. ·
After receiving the okay of the
U. S . Government, the University
has bought a U.S.O. Building now
located in Radcliff, Kentucky. It
is a frame building measuring 80
by 160 feet with a small second
floor and will be deUvered as
soon as University officials get
together with a contractor on the
charge for transporting it to the
campus.
The main floor of the building
is divided into two parts. The
front section contains three read­ing
rooms which are to be con­verted,
upon the arrival of the
structure here, into ping pong
aa4 rec:reatioll room1. A third
reading room will probably be
left intact. The section also con­tains
a small kitchen and room
for a soda founta.in, two rest
rooms, and ample space for a juke
box and tables.
Opening off these quarters is a
spacious auditorium containing a
stage and a hardwood floor. This
will probably be used in connec­tion
with the intramural program
and for student dances.
Mr. Stamm has also reported
that negotiations are being made
to obtain a soda fountain and
other equipment and furniture
for the building from the U.S.O.
The reason for buying the
building the Acting Pr.esident
explained are to augment the
"facilities afforded by the so­called
Student Center which are
totally Inadequate."
The Studebt Center will re­main
.in opetatloa. be continued,
but will be used mostly as an eat­ing
place. Only soft drinks will be
sold in the new building.
· We hope that the structure
"wiH--create a clean and comfort­able
atmosphere in which stu­dents
may meet and have a good
time," Mr. Stamm said. He em­ph~
ized the fact that the build­ing
would not be a Student Union
Building and that it was only a
temporary arrangement u n t i 1.
more suitable facilities could be
provided.
The location of the building on
campus has not yet been decided
but Mr. Stamm promised that it
would be "centrally located" so
that it would be of convenience to
students of all the schools on
campus. He hinted, however, that
one place being considered was
the area between the Administra­tion

It was generally felt by the
participants that the veteran re­turned
fiom the war with a much
finer sense of Nalues than when
he went away, and exhibits a
definite desire to administer the
government which he fought for.
In discussing the G. I. Bill of
Rights, it was held that the gov­ernment
benefits just as . much as
the service men and women as
the Bill is a form of insurance in
that it mealls that this generation
will have the education needed to
make them leaders in the world
of tomorrow.
