April Fool Car-Towing Caper
Reported By Sergeant Friday
By ALAN GOLD
The Louisville Police Department erred last week, and a Speed
School student proved them wrong.
Thursday, April 1. 8:03 a.m. It was a clear day in Louisville. Karl
Schwalbe, a senior in the Electrical Engineering Department, parked
his car on Third Street, just south of .the Triangle Park traffic signal,
on the west side of the street.
Time: 8:45 a.m. Two young officers in a patrol cruiser noted that
Schwalbe's car was between two "NO PARKING BETWEEN SIGNS"
notices. They called a wrecker and had .the car towed away. They
neglected to notice that the arrows on the signs pointed outward, away
from Schwalbe's car.
Time: 8:55 a.m. Since it was April 1Fool's Day, Schwalbe was du­bious
when friends told him his car had been 1owed off.
Convinced at last, he called the police department. On advice
of Professor W. R. Mcintosh, he spoke to Captain Chaudoin.
Schwalbe was referred to a sergeant, who said that he would come
right out and indicate the signs which prompted the .towing-in.
Time: 11:20 a.m. A car arrived on the ,scene with Captain Chau­dion,
Lieutenant Keely, and a sergeant.
Time: 11:25 a.m. Captain Chau.doin ordered that the arresting of­ficers
be called to the scene by radio.
Time: 11:30 a.m. The five policemen grudgingly conceded their
error. Schwalbe accepted a ride downtown to get his car.
Time: 11:45 a.m. Schwalbe was escorted to the offices of the
Chief of Police, Traffic Engineer, and Chief of Detectives; and thence
to the city lot at 18th and Main to recover his car.

Economist Speak.s
To Busi~ess Group
On Money Supply
Maybe in Heaven money will be
an unnecessary evil, but as long
as it's a necessity in today's eco­nomy,
people should know more
about its creation, functions, and
control.
This was the contention of Dr.
Ross Robertson, Financial Econo­mist
of the Federal Reserve Bank
of St. Louis, who addressed an
official coQvocation of the Busi­ness
School Tuesday at 11 a.m. in
the Allen Court Room of the Law
School.
Dr. Robertson gave a flannel­board
lecture on "The Money Sup­ply"
to a group of about 150 stu­dents
from Business School, Law
School, and the College of Arts
and Sciences. He was assisted by
Mr. W. E. Walker, manager of .the
Field Service Department for the
Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis.
In his talk, Dr. Robertson gave
both a verbal and visual deccrip­tion
of the function of money in
the economy, how money is creat­ed
in banking system, and how
money is controlled an'd regulated
through the Federal Reserve
Banks.

Graduation Change
Commissioning Ceremony May Be Cut
\Vays of shortening the June commencement program will be
discussed tonight at the meeting of the Senior Commencement
Committee. Representatives from all schools ha e been invited to
attend.

of walking to the plattorm
to receive the mock diplomas.

on these possible changes
or make any suggestions, they
may contact their representatives.
