The honor was approved during the Board of Trustees meeting last Monday. "The Mask of Orpheus" was chosen over 95 entries from 20 countries for the $150,000 annual prize. The award was initiated in 1984 by University alumnus H. Charles Grawemeyer to recognize excellence in modern musical composition. KENTUCKY, MARCH 26,1987 12 PAGES Play byplay AN INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER Planned club site avoids parking lot By JAMES D. HINES Cardinal Staff Writer University of Louisville President Donald C. Swain presented the Board ofTrustees with a possible location for the facu lty, staff, and alumni club at their monthly meeting Monday night. Swain proposed that the club be buill on a site on F loyd street, near the soon-to-be constructed Student Activities Center , on land which currently houses several old physical plant storage buildings. Swain told the Boa rd that the club would be financed in part with a $4 million gift from Barry Bingham Sr., and with proceeds from the auction of the Gardencourt Campus in Cherokee Park. The Board must approve both the bid on and the sale of the Gardencourt property. Larry Owsley, vice president of administration, said Bingham gave a total gift of$4 million to the University, $2 million of which was to be used on the actual construction and $2 million to be used for an endowment to help cover the operating costs. velopment a nd P lanning Colette Murray. "We surveyed a large number of people and found a high level of interest," she said. "We found enough interest to warrant closer investigation ." Murray said the club would probably operate by charging people who use it a modest initiation fee, and then regular membership dues. She also said that she does not think students at U of L will be members of the club. "I doubt if students will be members," she said. "The (new) student activities center will be bigger (than the club), and the student center will be geared more for the students." According to Owsley, the University will accept bids on the Gardencourt Campus, which will be advertised from now until April 22 or 23. The Board will then vote on whether to accept the price of the highest bidder, and on the use of the proceeds from the sale to finance the club at their April 27 meeting. The opera uses recorded and live music as well as puppets, mimes and singers to relate the Greek myth of Orpheus. The first human musician, Orpheus used his talents to win the freedom of his lover Euridice from Hades. The plan fails, however, and the heartbroken Orpheus is killed by the gods who are jealous of his talents. "In the theater, they say it'sreally overwhelming, so I imagine it's like going to a movie with a very complex stot·y," said Nelson Keyes, executivP secretary of the award committee.
