ACE HIGH CARDS ... Triumphant Cardinals wh oop it up for photographer in the dressingroom fol ­lowing
big 59-56 victory over Dayton. Notice the e xp ression on the faces of Charlie Tyra and Bill
Dar ragh. The Cardinals reached third in AP poll , the highest ranking in U of I;- history.
Cardinals Gain National Prestige
The "Fighting Cardinals" of Louisville this
week mdved into third place in the Associated Press
poll of sportswriters. The coaches placed them
fourth in the United Press ratings. This is the
loftie t position that the high flying Cardinals have
ever held. Last Monday night the Musketeers of
Xavier trounced U of L 99-59; but the Cards re­bounded
to beat Kentucky Wesleyan 84-74, and
highly rated Dayton 59-56. All of this combined
with losses by most of the teams in the top ten
kept the Cards up in the ratings. Tuesday night,
after the ratings were out, the Cardinals lost to
Eastern, 84-82, in the final seconds of the ballgame.
At this point in the season the Cards have a
21-3 record which is far ahead of all expectations.
They have their fifth straight bid to the National
Invitational Tournament.
The Cardinals will be in an unique position in the
National Invitational Tourney, as they will be seed­ed
for the first time in U;eir five trips. The seed­ing
will depend on the way that Dayton and Louis­ville
finish their season, as they will be one and
two, with Louisville probably in the number one
slot.

Crusader
For Peace
Visits UofL
A women who calls herself the
··Peace Piligrim" spoke this week
to four classes at the University.
This woman, who ha undertaken
a ten thou~and mile walk for the
cause of world peace, has already
hiked about seven thou and miles,
she said.
The "Peace Pilgrim" refu es to
tell anything of her background.
including her name or where she
' is from. She is keeping herself
anonymous because she feels she
"is no longer a personality but
an embodiment of all the mil­lions
of hearts pleading for world
peace." She claims she will keep
on walking until the whole world
has learned the way of peace.
After a few day in Louisville,
she says that she will travel to
Lexington and Frankfort by a
round-about route. She wants to
speak with Governor Chandler,
as she says she has already spok­en
with Governor Clement of
Tennessee. The last place she vis­ited
was the Univer ity of Ten­nessee
in Knoxville.
The "'Peace Pilgrim" visited Dr.
Smith's nine o'clock philosophy
class, Dr. Kemper's eleven o'clock
graduate psychology class, and
an evening class in social science
taught by Dr. Brodschi on
Wednesday. Today she spoke in
Dr. Kutak's social science class.
She hopes to see.. other people
join her in this walk from alJ
parts of the world. She reports
that it is not unusual for her to
walk twenty-five miles a day, and
that she has walked fifty mile=­without
feeling tired. She also
says that more than two thirds of
the time she has found shelter
and food readily available.
A freshman pledge of Delta
Kappa Epsilon fraternity died last
week as the result of a "hazing"
stunt at the Massachusetts Insti­tute
of Technology. Thomas L .
Clark, 18, of Harvey, Illinois,
drowned in an icy reservoir on
his way back to the fraternity
house after being taken on "a
ride."
Dr. James R. ~illian , president
M.J.T., expressed his sympathy.
He said that Clark's "fraternity
mates were completely innocent
of any conscious negligence." Kil­lian
promised to ban "hazing" at
M.I.T.

New Flying Program Proposed
By Marines For Undergrads
Washington, D. C. Jan. 31, 1956
-A new flying program for col­lege
undergraduates was an­nounced
today by the Marine
Corps. ~
To be known as the Platoon
Leaders Class (Aviation), its ma­jor
features will be that mem­bers
belong to it at the same time
they attend college a nd are guar­anteed
flight training as officers
immediately u po n gradu ation
from college. No Marine Corps
training t akes p lace during the
college year, however.
College -time training will con­sist
of six-week indoctrination
sessions during two summer vaca­tions
from school. These will be
held at the site of most Marine
officer training, the Marine
Corps School, Quantico, Virginia.
Upon completion of the train­ing
and coincident with gradua­tion
from college, members will
be commissioned as second lieu­tenants
in the Marine Corps Re­serve.
At this time they will be
designated student aviators and
immediately begin the 15-to 18-
month Flight School at the Naval
Air Station, Pennsacola, Florida.
This will be the first major
change in, the Platoon Leaders
Class since its incept ion in 1934.
The P la toon Leaders Class has
been the largest source of Marine
officers since that time. About
80 per cent of the officers com­missioned
from colleges each year
are graduates of the program.
The recently organized U of L
Veterans' Organization held its
first business meeting on Friday,
February 17. The constitution was
resolved at this time. They are
now looking forward to active
participation, both civic and so­cial,
in the activities which are
offered here at the University.
The new officers are: president,
Noel Bishop, a business major;
vice-president, Eugene Whitley, a
graduate biology student; secre­tary,
Tom Ware, an English ma­jor.;
and treasurer, Jack ~organ,
a business major.
The next meeting will l:>e Fri­day,
February 24, at which time
the admittance of new. members
will be discussed.

Henry R . Heyburn, Kentucky
State Representative, answered
some penetrating questions Sun­day
afternoon. Heyburn appear­ed
before the newly organized
Young Voters' Forum, a non­partisan
group of Louisvillians
between the ages of seventeen
and twenty-four. The meeting
was held in the Women's Build­ing.
Heyburn was first asked why
Kentucky political campaigns
often neglect important issues.
"Here's an example," Heyburn
replied. "I think it's an important
issue that the Republicans can get
47 per cent of the Kentucky vote
and end up with only 23 per cent
of the representation. I think
taxes are important, too.
"But if I had to address a gath­ering
on the corner of 13th and
Market, I'd be inclined to talk
about the money that's being
spent on the Governor's mansion.
It appeals to the voter's imagina­tion
more than taxes or repre­sentation."
Another question raised was,
"I think the Democrats have
shaped the policy of the Republi­can
party during the last 20
years or so. What do you think?
Heyburn answered, ··The party
in power is usually the respon­sible
party, and jt shapes the
policy and issues in government.
While the Democrats were in
power nationally, that was the
case.
"Let me give you an example
on a State level.
"I'm a Republican in a Demo­cratic
Legislature. Suppose I in­troduce
a bill that has some
things in it the other party wants.
It won't be my bill that passes.
It'll be someone else's bill saying
the same thing as mine."
The next meeting of the Young
Voters Forum will be Sunday
February 26. Mr. Yale B. Bern­stei,
Field Secretary for the Stu­dents
for Democratic Action, will
speak.
S.D.A., the student affiliate of
the Americans for Democratic
Action, is a non-partisan, liberal,
s t u d e n t political organization
which carries on an active pro­gram
in the fields of civil rights
and liberties~ economic, foreign
and educa,tional affa irs, and in di­rect
political action. Mr. Bernstei
will answer questions on S.D.A.
