were brought to ,the attention of
Jthe co,uncil nor their consideration.
One of the topics was that of an
Interfraternity Dance ·to be held
in the near future. It will be Slpon­sored
by the members of the
council. While it is still runsettled,
it has been heard rthat it might be
quilte universal in its scope in an
attempt to make it a really bi~
ca·mpus affair. If s-o, it will prob­ably
be postponed until the early
part of the next fall quarter.
Ag~ain al<lng the social line, the
oouncil brought under discussion
the idea of spacing the informal
" parties of the various fraternities
at such inrtervals that rthere would
be ai least one frart having an
open function every week. This
will assure the fellows of some
place to g-o on Saturday night if a

idea in the early partt of the year,
and began 1to discuss it with var­ious
students. When she saw that
it was well received, she called
meetings of the campus leaders
and outlined her plan to them.
The project was acted wpon im­mediately,
and Jim Thomas was
made head of a systematic group
of committees which have effici­ently
executed t h e i r various
duties. Special thanks and recog­nition
are given to Athol Lee
Taylor, Law School Professor;
and Dean E. C. Davis, Dean of
Men.
Miss Threlkeld stated that she
had been considering the splendid
record which was the Navy's since
their arrival en this campus sev­eral
years ago. She said there was
no doubt that the V-12 and later
the N.R.O.T.C., had contributed
far more to this school than we
could possibly have given them.
They have been the sustaining
strength of U. of L. since the out­break
of tile War.
Af.t& reviewing this liS>t of ac­complishments,
Dean Threlkeld
said she became con •inced that
everyone would want to do some­thing
:to &lww the boys how much
they have meant to the campus,
and how much they will be miss­ed
afiter t·hey have left. . . Thus,

RIDE!
Marking the revival of an old
"Cardinal" custom, the Boat ride
is expeoted to receive a joyous
response. Tickets may be obtained
