MR. BOVARD CLAYTON, U. of L. Athletic Publicity Director,
explains the two plans for student seaiing at aihletic events to
the members and guests of the University Student Council at their
meeting last week ai the Y.M.C.A.
Clayton Presents Plans
For Ticket Distribution
Bovard Clayton, Athletic Publicity Director, presented two
plans for distribution of student activities tickets for the coming
season to members of the University Student Council at the U.S .C.
banket held on Aprill7.
Council members, by vote, ac­cepted
one of the two plans over
the other which seemed to be
much less advantageous to the
student body.
The accepted plan will be
handled in the following manner:
At registration, student photo­graphs
will be made anJi inserted
in a wallet-size sealed plastic
card which will bear the student's
name and address and will serve
to identify him as a university
student. The card will have num­bers
on the edge corresponding
to the number of athletic events
for the season. ·
Reserved Seais For Students
A ticket office will be placed
in the book store on the campus,
(and probably in each school
which requires the activitiesfee),
where students will call for their'
ticket prior to each event. It will
be necessary that they present
tl:).eir I.D. card at that time, and
the card will be puncheed for that
event as their ticket is purchased.
Through this system each student
will be assured a reserve seat,
distributed on the basis of first­come,
first-serve.
Students will be required to
call for their ticket by the .tose
of the day prior to the day of the
event, or their ticket will no long­er
be held.
One entire side of duPont Sta­dium,
for football, and the Ar­mory
for basketball, will be re­served
for the student's seating.
At the student gate, of which
thre will be three, students will
be required to present both their
ticket and their J.D.
Guest Tickets Sl.DO
Guest tickets for guests of the
opposite sex may be pt1rchased
at the price of $1.00. Students
who wish to take a date to the
events will need to have his
partner's I.D. card with him at
the time he calls for his ticket
in order that he might acquire
seats that are together.
Clayton expressed to the coun­cil
members that the athletic de­partment
wanted to co-operate
fully with the students and said
that the accepted plan should
prove to their advantage.
"It is purely a reserved-seat
plan, and will eliminate the stu­dent's
hurrying to the game in an
attempt to obtain a good seat.
His seat will be reserved for him,"
he stated.
Faculty Can Buy Tickets ·
He explained that of the activ­ities
fee of $10.00, only ·$5.00 of
it is given to the athletic depart­ment,
making the cost of the stu­dent's
season ticket amount to
only $5.00.
He further announced that fac­ulty
members and university em­ployees,
D.A.E., Med, and Dent
students would have an opportu­nity
to purchase a season ticket
to the events for $10.00.
Mr. Clayton stated that he real­ized
that box office lines would
be a complaint, but said that he
believed that the students would
be able to get their ticket some­time
during the week without an
unreasonable wait.
Muriel Draper
Will Lecture
Here On May 8
Muriel Draper, wife of Paul
Draper, the famous dancer, will

Will Discuss U.S,S.R.
She will describe in detail her
visits to Leningrad, Moscow, and
Stalingrad, stressing the human
side of the people she met and ob­served
there.

Conservatory of Music, the
College of Music of Cincinnati,
the School of Music of Indiana
University, the Music Department

Kain Harpsichord Recital
Held Audience Spellbound
By LAMAR CRASK
Louise Kain has at last succeeded in restoring the Harpsichord
to favor in Louisville. After the monotonous, singularly uninspiring
recital by Kirkpatrick some time ago, the instrument fell slightly
below the guitar in the eyes of many.
ODKTapping
Coming Soon
Applications for Omicron Delta
Kappa, honorary fraternity for
activities and scholarship, are now
available in the offices of the
Dean of Music School, Dental
School, and the School of Medi­cine.
Students in the schools on Bel­knap
Campus may get applica­tions
in Dean Walker's office.
Will Tap On May 11
The applications must be re­turned
by May 3 because the vot­ting
will be held that night.
The new members will be
tapped in conjunction with Fry­berger
Sing on May 11.
On April 25th, in the Play­house,
Mrs. Kain remedied that
situation in a hurry. From the
very ·first it was quite evident
that she was enjoying herself and
the audience settled back, equally
pleased by her expressive man­ner
and sensitive playing. Her
nonchalance, aided by intimacy
of style, compelled the individ­ual
to so lose himself in the mu­sic
that space and time were
transcended. The artist and listen­er
were the only two persons in
a faraway salon-she playing and
he turning the pages.
Fresh Approach
Intelligent and widely varied
registration imparted a brilliance
of colour and the artist's unique
phrasing, faithful embellishments
and fresh approach to each com­position
cajoled from the instru­ment
the maximum of sarcasm,
satire and wit.
Activities Led
By Jim Allen
Speed Scientific School today
will celebrate Engineer's Day
with an open house to which the
public is invited to visit the school
and inspect the equipment with
