in behalf of the student body,
presented a bouquet to "Miss Mu­nicipal"
also.
An Alumni reunion held in the
Green Room of the Breck Build­ing
immediately following t h e
g am e, afforded an opportunity
for returning grads and former
students to renew acquaintances
and talk over "the good old days."
A holiday spirit characterized the
reunion as dancing and refresh­ments
were enjoyed and the foot­ball
victory celebrated.
"L" Club Dance
Sponsored by the Alumni "L"
Club, the victory dance Saturday
night in the Intramural Building
was one of the most colorful af­fairs
ever given at the school.
Gaily decorated and lighted by
the multi colors of the shining
pins of the Greek letter orga!'li­zations,
the interior of the hall
presented a beautiful setting.

Basketball Champions
Play Card~ January 4
Big Jack Coleman, University
of Louisville baskeaball star and
All-American, is one of the rea­sons
why the World's Champion
Phillips Oilers basketballers are
willing to play the Cardinal's cag­ers
here on J anuary 4, a reliable
source revealed this week.
It is reported that the Oilers
have been interested in Coleman
since the National Invitational
Tournament held in Kansas City,
Kansas, during December when
the Cards won the title, and went
on to play in Madison Square Gar­den,
New York.
Hickman Is Happy
Bovard Clayton made arrange­ments
for the January contest in
a series of telephone conversa­tions
with the Oilers' coach, Jesse
"Cab" Renick. By accepting the
engagement here in the Jefferson
County Armory, the Western
team is cutting four days off
its regular mid-winter vacation,
Clayton pointed out.
Coach "Peck" Hickman, who
piloted the courtmen to t h e i r
first national title, expects the
1948-49 edition of the Cards to be
stronger than last year. "I think
it is a feather on our cap to be
able to play the world's champ­ions,"
said Hick..rnan. "It's a great
.hing for the University."
No Student Tickets
The Administration announced
that student athletic books will
not be honored for the Oilers
game. Each holder of an athletic
book will be given an opportunity
to purchase one general admission
ticket. An advance sale will be
held on the campus for several
days before the tickets go on sale
to the general public.
According to present plans, the
Oilers are scheduled to arrive in
Louisville by plane on the morn­ing
of January 4 and to fly back
the following morning. All their
stars, who won the Olympic
Trials last spring, and then w~nt
on to help take the world's title
in London, are expected to par­ticipate
in the Cardinal game.
Dr. Anderson Speaks

Delta Phi Alpha, honorary Ger­man
fraternity, will hold its reg­ular
meeting on Friday, Novem­ber
5, at 4 :00 on the second floor
of the Woman's Building. Dr. E.
G. Andersen will speak on "Atom­ic

At the last meeting, the ''Till

and an Associate Membership in
Delta Phi Alpha was set up.

Dick Piatt, Political Arena presi­dent.
A total of 704 votes were cast
during the balloting, which listed
the full tickets of the parties as
th e:~; will appear on the regular
election to be held November 2.
Thomas E. Dewey was elected
president bY, the popular vote of
Belknap campus students. The
Dental and Medical schools were
not r epresented in the vote-cast­ing.
\
Dewey Lead Only 18 Votes

of I8 votes, the closest margin of
any Republican candidate. He was
given a total of 303 votes to 285
for Truman. The minority parties
polled a total of I05, with Thur­mond
taking down 51, Wallace,
46 and Thomas, 8.
The two high points of the elec­t
ion centered around the sena­torial
and mayoralty races. The
largest majority of the day was
rolled up by Senator John Sher­man
Cooper as he received 475
votes, a pluralit:t of 312 over his
Democrat opponent, Virgil Chap­man.
Mayor Charles Farnsley. rolled
up the second most commanding
lead of the election as he won

through the auspices of the Poli­tical
Arena's election tryout.

The final results gave Mor­t6n

Negro Lawyer and Progressive
party candidate for Representa-·
tive, received 31.
A breakdown of the votes as
cast by the various schools on the
campus r eveals t h a t 587 votes
were cast by Arts and Sciences
(including Music and graduates)
in the .presidential balloting. The
Law School members cast 77 votes
and Speed School responded with
33. Seven votes were voided and
there was one write-i n vote fol'
Jefferson Davis for President .
Campaign Literature Used
Campaign literature was very
much in evidence, predominantly
at the Progressive and Democrat
parties tables. The regular voting
procedure was followed as closely
as possible u n d e r the circum­stances.
Booths w e r e borrowed
from the Jefferson Fiscal Court
and all votes were cast in privacy,
then deposited in the ballot box
under the watchful eyes of the
ballot box guardian. •
The Registrar's files were used
in place of registration lists. Age
limitations were not imposed so
everyone enrolled in school was
eligible to vote.
The Law School had the best
percentage figures as to voting as
approximately one in three voted.
The Speed School voting approxi­mated
one out of twenty and Arts
and Science had an average of
one out of five going to the polls.
Thorne, Shields
Head Psi Chi
Psi Chi, national honorary psy ­chology
fraternity, held its first
m~eting and election of officers,
th1s week.
T h e new o f f i c e r s, William
Thorne, president; Dick Shields,
vice-president; Paul Noller, Sec­retary;
and Jack Waxler, treas-
' urer, will be installed at a dinner
meeting on the night of November
12.
Twelve hours in psychology, a
1.5 general standing, and a 2-
point standing in psychology are
the requirements for membership
in the fraternity.
Triangle Tops
Frat Grades
With 1.8182
The Triangl e fraternity at
Speed Scientific School amassed
a scholastic average of 1.8182 for
the spring quarter, it was an­nounced
last week by Mr. Ralph
Hill, r egistrar.
"Triangle's average is probably
one of the highest m a d e by a
Belknap Campus fraternity in a
lon.g tb1et said M:-. FIB:.
The Sigma Alpha Mu fra ternity
won top scholastic honors for the I
fall and spring semesters with a
total point standing of 1.7046.
Second place went to the In­depent
Women who's 1.5843 was
just ahead of the 1.5807 earned by
the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority. The
yearly summary of fratenity and
sororit y standings gave fourth
position to the women of Pi Beta
Phi with a 1.5752 total.
Coach Camp's Redbirds, w h o
exhibited a very formidable pass­ing
attack in their Saturday nigh t
conquest of Western, are expected
to take to the air quite freque nt­ly
in the ir effort to c h a l k up
another homecoming w i n. The
Cards arc a definitely improved
ball club and should hit their
stride tomorrow e venin g.
Passing Begins to Show
The big question mark of the
night will be whether or not the
Card's flankman will be able to
repeat their stellar performance
against the burly Bulls of Buffalo.
A lot depends on the action o~
the wingmen who showed up ex­ceptionally
well in the Western
fray, and it could be the differ­ence
between victory and defeat.
The Western game was the first
time this year that the en·ds show­ed
any gr eat ability t o snag passes.
If quarterback Frank Gitschier
throws as we ll as as he did in
the Western tussle, it will be up
to the ends to help decide if the
Cards are to continue their win-

of the Sta tes' Rights

platforms, October 21 , in the
