Building Plans· Progress;
City Of Louisville Fund
In Sight But Not In Hand
By DICK FLANIGAN
The expansion program is moving along d espite the delays and
confusion.
President Eli H. Brown, III,
states that plans for the Natural
Science Building and the Library
will be ready in 6 or 8 weeks. Bids
will be accepted then, and con­struction
will begin as soon as
material is available.
While money from the city for
improvements to Gardiner Hall
and the Playhouse has been de­layed,
it should be available about
the first of June.
It has also been proposed that
French Consul
Gives Address
Fancois Briere, French Consul
General for the central area of the
U. S., addr!!ssed a dinner meeting
last Friday at J eferson Room on
"Security and Communism in
France."
M. Briere, speaking as the rep­resentative
of president Auriol
pointed out that for the last 150
years France's preoccupation has
been security. France has few
natural barriers for defense and is
easily invaded as was shown in
1814, 1870, 1914, and 1940. He said
that the great majority of French­men
would fight for their free­dom
if they were sure that they
wou.id not be occupied, or if oc­cupied
that they would be freed.
screens be installed in Gardiner
Hall.
The main funds will come from
low-interest, tax-free bonds
which will be underwritten by lo­cal
investment houses to the tune
of about $1,200,000.
Mayor Charles Farnsley has
tried twice to get funds for U of
L from surplus money in the sink­ing
fund. The first time he pro­posed
a grant of $100,000 to be
used for air-conditioning Gardiner
Hall and the Chemistry Building
and for eliminating fire hazards in
the Playhouse.
Much comment was raised, in­cluding
the objection · that such
projects were not really capital
improvements. Sinking-fund sur­pluses
can be used only for capital
improvements, as specified in
State law.
Another objection was raised as
to whether or not the city could
appropriate money which had not
yet been received. Finance Direc­tor
William D. Meyers stated that
more than $1,000,000 would be in
the account by the end of June.
Assistant City Attorney Alex
Humphrey stated that the city ap­propriated
money each year be­fore
tax revenues are received.
Still the Chamber of Commerce
objected to such appropriations,
and finally made their voices
heard.
Mayor Farnsley withdrew his
request for $132,00 for "non-air
conditioning projects," but said he
would place it again about the
first of Junt.
The money is at least in .sight,
not only for U of L, but for a new
nursery for premature babies, for
General Hospital; for a storage
.building for books from the Lou­isville
Free Public Library.
First Police Class
Receives Diplomas
Men From 7 States
Graduate From SPI
The Southern Police Institute
presented police officers from 7
southern states and guards from
three local businesses with diplo­mas
at its first graduation cere­mony
held last Friday in the Al­len
Courtroom of the Law School.
President Eli H. Brown, III,
Mayor Charles Farnsley, and In­stitute
Director David McCand­less
addressed the graduates and
audience. Mayor Farnsley told the
assembly that he was proud of
U of L, "a good institution", and
that he has been working with
it for similar things for a long
time. He said he was "particularly
pleased" with the job done by
President Brown, under whose
leadership the U of L has moved
forward.
Brown Thanked
Director McCandless hoped that
the officers would retain their
high ideals of law enforcement.
He thanked the President and
Board of Trustees for their com­plete
cooperation. Mr. McCandless
praised Assistant-Director Robert
L. Soule and the Secretary, Mrs.
Dorothy Clore without whose as­sistance
he asserted the Insti­tute
would not have succeeded.
Mr. McCandless termed the In­stitute
"one of the many tangible
evidences of professionalism, ed­ucation,
and training" in police
work. If the present attitude con­tinues,
he feels that police work
will become a profession on a par
with medicine and chemistry, re­quiring
four years of college
training.
President Brown called the
graduating officers the greatest
potential force for good or evil."
Although the Institute was sug­gested
at a bad time for U of L's
finances, the Board of Trustees
saw the importance of police ad-
(Continued on paue 6)
French hopes are now streng:
thened by the formation of a true
international army under General
"Ike" Eisenhower, by the send­ing
of U.S. divisions to Europe, by
increased production and a higher
standard of living in France, and
finally by rearmament with A­merican
aid.
Made A Ky. Colonel
He referred to the Schumann
Plan for European economic ·co­operation.
From economic power
would come military and political
power. He hopes the plan will be
ready for implementation in the
near future. Such a spirit of co­operation
on a world basis would
eliminate economic problems and
social misery and also render the
promises of communism empty
and invalid.
Kemper Receives Doctorate
From Columbia University
Raymond A. Kemper upon his reception of the Doctor of Psy­chology
degree from Columbia University became the latest entry
into U of L's ever growing number of professors who possess the
doctoral degree.
M. Briere was made a Kentucky
Colonel by Tom Wallace, editor
emeritus of the Louisville Times,
r who acted as emissary for Gov­ernor
Lawrence Wetherby. In ac­cepting
the honor M. Briere
thanked all who had made his
stay here so pleasant; Mr. Hen­don,
who represented . Mayor
Farnsley; the mayor and first lady
of Bardstown; Dr. Brodschi; and
Dr. Angiollo and Governor Weth­erby.
M. Briere, a career diplomat for
20 years, has been stationed in
Warsaw, Dublin, Washington, Rio
de Janeiro, and Boston. As a
member of French delegations, he
attended the London Naval Con­ference
the Geneva Disarmament
Confer~nce and the United Na­tions
Charter Conference in San
Franisco in 1945. He also served
with the UN Secretariat and as
French consul in Boston. Married,
he has one daughter, who was
reared in the U.S. and Canada.
This new facet in his educa-tional
career came after eight
years of study. Attendance includ­ed
four universities-Alabama,
Southwestern, Washburn, and Co-lumbia.
_
His present vocations and avo­cations
include teaching, research
and industrial consultation. Teach­ing
duties include courses in in­dustrial
psychology for the Arts
and Sciences College, and psycho­logical
techniques for the South­ern
Police Institute.
Dr. Kemper is working on a
number of research assignments
with the Psychological Services
Center, and independently for the
Defense Department by contract
with Columbia University .
Industrial consultation for local
business and professional organ­izations
resolves mainly around
problems of personnel selection
and training. He is, at present,
studying and trying to improve
methods in research, interviewing,
and examining.
In his doctoral discertation,
which climaxed only two years
of academac study for the de­gree,
Dr. Kemper showed the dif-

ferences in result obtained by di­rect
interview and by the secret
ballot. According to him, many
persons try to hide true feelings
in a straight interview.
Kemper Is New Yorker
Dr Kemper claims to be one of
the few New Yorkers who were
actually born there. His family
later moved from his native Man­batten
to Long Island where they
still .reside. He became interested
in the Big Brother movement,
formed for the correction of de­linquint
children. He served suc­cessively
as field counselor, direc­tor
of a summer camp, and field
director of group work.
War and the navy took him
away from his wife, Mary, and
three year old daughter, Eugenie,
in early '44. He served as epe­demiologist
with the hospital
corps in the Pacific area, and was
stationed shortly at Okinawa. On
his return to civilian life he went
to Columbia to prepare tor his
/ doctor's degree.
SwYeys Are Humorous
Although his hobbies are fish­ing,
golf, and camping, his main
joys are in research. He has con­ducted
research on consumer hab­its
and tastes tor local TV and
radio stations, distilleries, proces­sors,
and manufacturers.
The results of tests have been
both informative and humerous.
An example was tbe testing of
two types of cans for prepared
b!Jcuits. Housewive~ who tried to

a curriculum committee to work
with the faculty on matters per­taining
to student courses this
semester.
Jim Bowling, in the person of
Sheridan Douglas, "The City
Slicker", will try to steal the val­uable
property of Poor Little
Nell's "Pappy and Mammy." But
alas! Toby Snodgrass (Tom Wet­terer),
the hillbilly super sleuth,
saves the day by exposing the
vicious d ~sires of "The City
Slicker."
It will be staged in the Women's
Club on Friday, at 3:00 pm and
Saturday, April 6 and 7 at 10:30
am and 3 :00 pm.
Religious Emphasis Week and an outstanding art critic drew
the student body to the Playhouse for some excellent lecture pro­grams
on March 19, 20, and 21, the week prior to Easter vacation. This committee was organized
for the purpose of suggesting
ways and methods for developing
classroom procedures.
U of L students taking part in
the production are Ludie DeSpain,
Bill Martin, Jim Bowling, Jim
Ransdell, Joan Lorrie, Chris Has­sold
and director Marcella Nich­ols.
Mr. Andrew C. Ritchie, director
of the Department of Painting and
Sculpture at the Museum of Mod­ern
Art in New York, presented a
talk on "Main Directions in
Twentieth Century Painting,'' as
the first of these convocations on
Monday.
Art Slides Shown
With the use of some represen­tative
slides, Mr. Ritchie demon­strated
the schools of thought in
painting through which art has
traveled. Expressionism, Impres­sionism,
Cubism, Surrealism, and
the others stood the test of tpe
speaker's critical powers as he
pointed out whom he considered
most representative in their re­spective
fields and the paintings
which won the artists Mr. Ritchie's
approval. As a result, questions
arose in private discussions such
as "Why was Dali wholly ex­cluded
as a leader in his field of
Surrealism?"
"Religion for Times Like These"
was the topic of the Religious
Emphasis Week Convocation on
Tuesday. Dr. George P. Fowler
presented this vital subject which
later resulted in some consider­able
controversy. Religion con­sciousness
was at least one of the
results of his lecture.
Nazareth Chorus Sang
Along with the principal speak­er
a program in which student
members from the various reli­gious
organizations and the Uni­versity
Chorus was presented.
Prayers, scriptural readings, and
participation by the entire assem­bly
in the singing of hymns com­pleted
an inspirational a n d
thought-provoking program.
The Newman Club, as its con­tribution
to Religious Emphasis
Week, presented a program fea­turing
a movie on the life of
Christ and the Acappella Chorus
of Nazareth College.
The Chorus under the direction
of Miss Barbara Hiller presented
polyphonic music outlining the
life of Christ in song with such
Cardinal's 51 Budget
Is Cut 15 Per Cent
The 1950-51 budget ,of the Car­dinal
was cut 15% last Friday.
Norbert Elbert, chief accoun­tant,
notified the paper's busi­ness
manager, George Simmons,
that the Cardinal had been "over­looked"
in the recent money cut
at U of L.
Thirteen hundred and fifty-six
dollars will be deducted from this
year's budget of $9040. This
amount is 15% of the money set
aside for supplies and expenses.
Editor's wages are not included
in this sum.
The average cost of one issue
of the Cardinal is $470. Simmons
does not think the paper will have
to cut the number of issues for
this year.

film itself was beautiful and
graphic, but because the film flit­ted
over the wood-cuts with mo­mentary
pauses, the appetites of
those who came for art's sake
alone must have been wetted.
Suggestions are made by the
individual students, and these are
discussed by the student commit­tee
with the faculty members con­cerned
in order to determine the
usefulness of the suggestions.
This is the first participation
by the student body in curriculum
organization at the school, and it
is hoped that the experience will
be valuable both to the students
and faculty members.

Josephine.,Pup
I.Jeave Campus
A vital part of the University
of Louisville is gone. All rumors
have been confirmed. Josephine
and her pup have been taken
away.
Doctor Samue.I Anderson, Uni­versity
physician, ordered Joseph­ine's
removal after she had bitten
several persons in the last few
weeks.
While she was not available for
comment it is generally cop.ceded
that she will miss the University
of Louisville, her home since pup­hood.
Reliable sources believe that
she was taken down to the dog
pound. -
The action was executed with
'such lightning speed that even the
alert Josephine Fan Club could do
nothing about it.
During her stay here she moth­er
six broods (42 dogs). She has
been an-ideal mother and a credit
to her profession. It is a general
opinion that she will go to dog's
heaven.
Her pup "Small Change" has
also been removed. Her new home
is somewhere in Indiana.
When the pup was 'interviewed
in connection with her mother's
absence, she said she couldn't
understand Josie leaving U of L.
She went on to say, "I sniffed all
over the campus but couldn't lo­cate
pool' mother. I guess there's
nothing left for me to live tor."
A well-known bird lover on
campus has stated that he will
find a replacement for Josephine
as soon as he can lay his hands
on a mutt as fruiUul and "ornery''
lookioi as the Dol.

HOW ABOUT A RIDE is the cry of these two U of L students.
They are among the many who use their thumbs to get to and from
school eYery day.
By TIM BORNSTEIN
A sight very familiar in Louis­ville
is the hitch-hiker. Despite
the ran or snow, one can always
find University hitch-hikers at
the more important intersections,
especially Eastern Parkway across
from Speed, and at Second and
Shipp Streets.
Although there have been a
good many sordid stories about
htch-hikers and the dangers in
offering. free rides to strangers,
University students have found
little trouble in getting free lifts
to and from school. And even
though bearded students dressed
in, ragged blue jeans and sweat
shirts may live the impression ot
being bums, most automoble dri­vers
don't hestitate to stop for
students who carry books and are
in tbe vicinity of the achooL
It hal been estimated that one
out of every aeven stucleDts bitch-
•
hikes to school. The majority of
the thumbers are, of course, boys;
however, a good many girls also
get to school by a similar method.
The boy stands in the street and
thumbs for a ride, but when a car
stops, the girl comes from the
sidewalk and gets into the car
with him.
The corner of Eastern Parkway
and Bardstown Road is probably
the busiest intersection in the
city for University hitch-hikers.
Every morning huge numbers of
students are to be found waiting
anxiously for free rides. The prac­tice
has been so well established
there that students merely wait
on the sidewalk for obliging dri­vers.
On an average it takes but five
minutes for a hitch-hiker to get a
ride, depending upon the weather.
Some students travel as far as fif­teen
miles a day to school and of-ten
have to thumb for as many
as three rides to get to the cam­pus.
Many of the obliging automo­bile
drivers are students or facul­ty
members; however, most of
them are lone drivers who consid­er
it their daily good deed.
To be sure, hitch-hiking in the
streets is a violation of both muni­cipal
and state laws. From the
General Ordinances of the City
of Louisvlle, statute N. 18-18e
provides; "It shall be unlawful
for any person to stand in a road­way
for the purpose of soliciting a
ride, or employment from the
operator of any private vehicle or
for the purpose of selling mer­chandise.
"Any person, firm or corpora­tion
violating any provision of
this section shall be fined not less
than one dollar ($1.00) nor more
than twenty-five dollars ($25.00)
for each offense."
The Kentucky Revised Statutes
of 1948, section 189.570-7, per­taining
to pedestrians, is an al­most
identical provision which
holds that hitch-hiking in a road­way
is also unlawful.
Actually, however, there is a
slight loophole in the law. If a
person were to stand near tpe
edge of a sidewalk or on a curb to
hitch a ride, it would be alto­gether
legal. This is true because
the law applies only to roadways,
not highways. The City Law De­partment
has interpreted the term
roadway to mean only "that terri­tory
improved, designed, or ordi­narily
used for vehicular traffic."
It is obvious ,however, that the
laws pertaining to hitch-hiking
have not and are not being en­forced.
Captain L. L. Shadoin of
the Louisville Police Traffic Bu­reau
said that in the past twelve
months there has been not one ar­rest
or fine for violation of the
hitch-hiking ordinance. A b o u t
five years ago, he said, there was
a spasmodic mcwement to enforce
~ law, at which time several ar­rests
were made 8Dd tickets given.
