Cards Waltz To Second Win
ELMER COLLIN A, U of L haUback, skirts his own rirht end for a four yard rain arainst Evans­ville
in the first quarter. The Cardinals won 41 to 13. See Story on pare 8.
Council has worked for several
weeks on the plans, under the di­rection
of Dr. Robert Whitney,
the Dean of Music School. Dr.
Whitney attended the Leadership
Camp to <talk to the campus lead­ers
about the proposed idea, and
he met with a great deal of en­thusiasm.
Music School has made ar­rangements
for ample parking
facilities, as well as hosts for the
evening, since many of the uni­versity
have never been to Music
School and might like to see it.
Besides the :planned activities,
the estate itself, with the formal
gardens and large house, is well
worth seeing.
Decorations will also carry out
the harvest theme. There will be
fall leaves, corn stalks, and pump­kins
to set the mood.
The Music School Student
Council, under the leadership of
Shea Reynolds, its president, has
worked hard to give the campus
a night of fun and entertainment.
All students of the unlversity are
cordially invited to abtend and
take part in the singing, dancing
and eating at the "Harvest Moon
Festival.'"'

of the Highland Presbyterian Church, to the first Speed School
convocation of the year.
"There has never been a .time
when there were no .traitors in
:the United States, but · never be­fore
has so much time and ef­fort
been spent in trying to rid
ourselves of them." The former
president of .the Louisville Area
Council of Churches went on to
