An academic diplornat :
UI~ thanks Eleanor Turner
by IRENE SPRADUNG
Tomorrow belongs to Eleanor M.
Turner, UL's retiring administrative
assistant to the president. The woman has
given over 40 years of servic1e to this
academic community •
Finding hard to put "thank you" into
words, her friends, acquaintances, and
colleagues are expressing orne of their
appreciation by giving her a day. Thus,
tomorrow, Dec. 8, is officially Eleanor M.
Turner Day.
Since 1928, administrative affairs at
Belknap Campus have functioned with
the vital skills and concern of Miss
Turner. "The university hired me
temporarily at the end of my sophomore
year to type up grades. I was only
supposed to stay four weeks," she
Ia ugh ed, "but things worked out
differently."
She graduated on a Saturday, and
came into work full time on the following
Monday. Beginning by fulfilling various
administrative tasks in the Registrar's
Office, she eventually transfern~d to the
Dean of Arts and Sciences Office. ht
1945 Miss Turner came to the President's
Office.
She has been there ever since, acting as
a general office manager, or bettc~r termed
by The Louisville Times' Mary Phyllis
Riedly as "UL's unofficial protocol
officer ." Tact and diploma,cy have
become her main assets - for she has
stood diligently by five of our university
presidents - helping them with speeches
and articles, deciding which people
should see them at what times , figuring .
out their . traveling and speaking
appointments. The list could run on
indefinitely.
Despite her busy work schedule, Miss
Turner makes it a point to enjoy life,
News and opinion
both at and away from home. Around
Louisville, she's an avid fan of college
football and basketball games, orchestra
concerts, and weekend jaunts to nearby
towns.
About traveling she says, "I've been to
a lot of places I never thought I'd see, and
who knows, I may get to a lot of other
places I'm not expecting." She's had a
pretty good taste of our hemisphere,
visiting Europe twice as well as several
eastern states. Except for her 1 969 trip to
the Orie,nt and an overnight stay at the
Los Angeles Airport Hotel on the way
Vandalism on campus
by DAVID CHEAP
Tom Marsh, the Fine Arts
Department, and Art students at UL were
all victims this weekend. Thieves, seeking
loot, broke in to Marsh's studio office.
Upon entering, they stole a $70 stereo
amplifier that had been broug:ht to the
office by Mr. Marsh to provide
entertainment for himself and his
students.
But the real tragedy of the experience
goes beyond monetary loss. Tom Marsh
had in his oi fice many valuable atrt works.
The thieves passed up these valuable
works from Marsh's personal collection of
American and Japanese potters to get to
the readily saleable electronic equipment.
Not only did they ignore the pottery, but
they smashed it, apparently accidentally,
in their attempts to remove the stereo
equipment.
. When interviewed by the Cardinal,
Marsh indicated a concern, not for
himself, but for his students. He was
bothered by the possiblity that students
would be denied opportunity to work
after hours in the ceramics department,
because of the looting. He indicated that
his only solution was to insure that no
longer would there be anything kept in
his office that might attract thieves.

there and back, she hasn't been West.
Australia , New Zealand, the Canadian
Rockies, and California fill her list of
future excursions.
A ''homegrown Louisvillian ," Eleanor
Turner has seen the city change, as well as
the university. She remembers when
youngsters rode to school in streetcars
instead of busses, and when students
walked around Belknap Campus on more
grass than concrete. "It was pretty risky,
when it rained or snowed," she explained.
"Once in freezing weather, I got off the!
streetcar and stepped in a mud puddle on
(Continued on page 3)
Since he is unable to insure the safety
of his belongings in his own office, and is
certainly unwilling to allow police and
security people to take steps to deny
access to the Fine Arts Building, Tom
Marsh is forced to change his working
conditions. He is a professional artist,
dominated now by the ills of his society .
Should anyone at UL feel too secure in
his ivory tower, perhaps he should
consider Mr. Marsh. ShouJd the thieves
read this article, they should be put on
notice that they must look for another
victim. There will be nothing of monetary
value to be stolen from the Ceramics
Studio. But several things of value have
been thus stolen from all of us here.
Registration procedures change
by ANNE CONKIN
In the midst of final exams, not many
UL students are overly excited :nbout the
prospects of next semester, especially the
registration hassle. Students, don't give
up all hope. There is promise.
In an honest attempt to spee:d up the
registration process the Admission Office
is now announcing a change in the
procedure of student billing for courses in
which they register and the settlement of
those accounts. The new JJ•rocedure
begins in the upcoming 197 3 spring
semester. No modifications are to be
made in the academic rcegistering
operation; the student will file through
the lines of the U .C. Building in the past
manner. The big change - a welcome one
- will occur in the process of billing and
tuition payment. Payment of billls will be
spread over a period of time between Jan.
15 and Jan. 20. The period between
registration and actual bill payment will
naturally be spent in processing the bills.
The actual process of student bill
payment is a~ follows: Undergraduate
students (excepting Speed Scientific
School and the Music School) are to leave
their registration cards with a final bining
checker in the U.C. Building; graduate
and professional school registrants are to
leave their cards in their respective dean's
offices.
The students' cards will then be
processed with the appropriate tuition
tagged to him; the bills will then be filed
at the Bursar's Office located in the front
foyer of the Administration Building,
ground floor. Students should then come
to the Bursar's Office for their payments,
either in full or in two, three or four
installments. The payment period is as
follows:
Monday, Jan. 15,8:30 a.m.-4:30p.m.;
5:30 p.m.-8 p.m.
Tuesday, Jan. 16,8:30 a.m.-4:30p.m.;
5 ~30 p. m.-8 p.m.
Wednesday, Jan. 17, 8:30 a.m.-4 :30
p.m.; 5:30 p.m.-8 p.m.
Thursday, Jan. 18, 8:30 a.m.-4: 30
p.m.; 5:30 p.m.-8 'p.m.
Friday, Jan. 19, 8:30 a.m.-4 :30p.m.
Saturday, Jan. 20,8:30 a.m.-12 Noon.
If the students are to benefit from this
more efficient process, they should
choose a time earlier in the week for
payments. If any bill is not settled by the
end of the pay period (see above listings),
the registration will be nullified.
However, a $25 reinstatement fee can be
paid to remain registered; this fee must be
paid before 4:30p.m. on Friday, Jan. 26.
This semester's report cards will include
more information about registration
chanaes .
