THE CARDINAL
VOL. XXXI, NO. 11 UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE, LOUISVILLE 8, KENTUCKY December 3, 1959
L-Raisers Seek Members
The L-Raisers Commission of
the University Student Senate has
announced further plans for the
L-Raisers cheering section, the
group of students who wil be
sea.ted on the floor to lead the
rest of the student body in cheers.
Micki Moran and Wayne Ben­nett
have asked that all students
interested in becoming members
of the L-Raisers turn their names
into the office of the Dean of Men
by Tuesday, December 8. Special
ID cards will be issued members
of the L-Raisers, enabling them to
sit in their special reserved sec­tion,
section H on the center line,
down front.
Since this is only a temporary
arrangement, contingent on full
stud-ent s u p p o r t , Bennett has
urged that ~ as many studiimts as
possible join the L..ffiaisers. If stu­dent
participation is not obtained,
the section will be closed to stu­dents
and returned to general
ticket sales.
"The Cards are really a top
t-eam this year," added Bennett,
"so :there's no r e as o n why L­Raisers
shouldn't be successful.
We are also working on a plan
whereby dates will be admitted
with the L-Raiser member."
Ther-e will be a fifty-cent charge
to cover the cost of the special
ID card, but no other cost to the
student.

and pledge master of Phi
Kappa Tau, and a member of Al­pha
Phi Omicron.

a seminar and possible or­gal)
ization of the sophomore and
junior classes. The seminar, to be
held shortly before the Christmas
vacation, will be a discussion on
placement after graduatiort. "We
are hoping to interest especially
those seniors who will graduate
at mid"'!Semester,'' says Jim. The
program will inc 1 u de a report
from Mrs. Art Sydney of the
Placement Office concerning that
department's benefits, and a seri­ous
discussion by Dean Richard
Barber about the advantages of
graduate work at the University.
With these first few plans and
ambitious hopes for still more
programs, Jim concluded, "We
should accomplish a great deal
towards developing a c 1 o s e I y
united senior class."
Cardinals Win
Opener 87-68
by Bob Kohn
Louisville's nationally-ranked
Cardinals opened their 1959-60
season Tuesday night at Freedom
Hall and accomplished two major
objectives in the process. First of
all, they broke a two-year open­ing
game jinx in dumping the
Furman University Paladins 87-68.
Secondly, they successful paved
the way for their Southern swing
.this weekend, which will carry
them to Atlanta, Georgia, Satur­day
night for a game against
Georgia Tech, and to Gre-enville,
South Carolina, Monday night for
a return engagement against Fur­man.
As some 5000 R e d b i r d fans
whooped i·t up, .the men of Coach
Peck Hickman forged into an
early 9-5 lead wi·th 16 :15 remain­ing
in the first half. Midway in
·the half, ;the Cards put on a surge,
led by John Turner and Ron
Rubenstein, to. move into a ten
point advantage at 22-12.
The Redbirds, who had been
firing at better than a 60% clip
for the firs·t fifteen minutes of the
first stanza, suddenly turned cold
and carried only a ten point mar­gin
in to the dressing room at the
halftime break, 41-31.
After some four minutes had
elapsed in the second half, Louis­ville
finally shook off its cold
spell. Paced by substitute forward,
Joe Kitchen, and towering Fred
Sawyer ,the Cards moved from a
47-38 score with seventeen min­utes
left in ·the game, to a 62-45
advantage with twelve minutes
remaining. For all purposes, this
was the ball game.
The Redbirds, as a team, wound

Admission By
Student I. D.'s
The procedure for getting tick­ets
to any of Louisville's home
bqsketball games, except for the
Cincinnati game and the Blue­grass
Tournament, will · be the
same as last year. For these
games, students will again use the
north-west door of Freedom Hall
(the one in the back of .the build­ing).
Admission for students at
these games will be by the use of
I.D. Cards. After presentation, the
student will be given a reserved
seat in student section (208, 210,
211, and one-half of 208). One
guest ticket may be purchased by
the student for $1.00.
For the Cincinnati game on De­cember
19, the same procedure
will be us.ed, except that the stu­dent
must pay $1.00 with the
presentaHon of his I.D. Card. Stu­dents
cannot g€t these tickets in
advance. It is a "first come-first
served" deal on the night of the
game. The seats will again be in
the student sec.tion.
For the Bluegrass Holiday In­vitational
Tournament Dec. 28-29,
there will be no special student
prices, but the student section is
being held back for those wishing
to buy tickets. These tickets can be
purchased in advance at the U of L
Ticket Office at Parkway Field.
Students are asked not to give
their I.D. Card to anyone else to
use. Members of the Registrar's
Office will be at the student gate
to check I.D. Cards.
Members of the Student Booster
Group of the L-Raisers will be
given s p e cia 1 choice seats to
every game, including the Cincin­nati
game.
"JUST SQUEEZE, that's all there is to it." From the smile on Pres­ident
Davidson's face as he gives blood, it doesn't look hard at that.
Davidson Donates Blood
To Open Campus Drive
President Philip Davidson kicked off the University of
Louisville Blood Drive early this week to encourage students
and faculty to support the special drive tomorrow, to be held
in the Hideaway of the U-C building, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
T'Bred Dance
Held Friday
Tomorrow night two students
will be crowned, when the annual
Thoroughbred Dance is held in
the Continental Ballroom of the
Henry Clay Hotel. Who will be
chosen to reign as King and Queen
of the 1960 Thoroughbred?
Cliff Butler and his band will
supply the music for ihis gala af­fair,
which is scheduled from nine
'til one.
Mr. Thoroughbred and his court
were selected Monday by the
women students on campus. The
following_ candidates, after a great
deal of campaigning, left the final
decision to the coed members of
the University Student body: Del­ta
Upsilon, Norman Hester; Kap­pa
Alpha, Dick Whitty; Lambda
Chi Alpha, Dan Walker; Phi Kap­pa
Tau, Gary Pennington; Pi Kap­pa
Phi, Smith Morris; Sigma Al­pha
Mu, Bob Kahn; Tau Kappa
Epsilon, Bob Brown; Theta Tau,
Jerry Bishop; and Triangle, Dave
Brucker.
The candidates for Miss Thor­oughbred,
and her court, had their
fate in the hands of John Robert
Powers Model Agency in New
York. Their pictures were sent to
New York where the finardeci­sion
was made. The winner will
be chosen from among the follow­ing
candidates: Air Force Spon­sors,
Judy Smyser; Cardinalettes,
Charlotte Schmidt; Chi Omega,
Gayle Mills; DeJ.ta Zeta, Jean
Kneessy; K a p p a Delta, Rose
Likens; L e o p o 1 d Hall, Marian
Page; Pi Beta Phi, Betty Chris­tian;
Sigma Kappa, Laura Volker­ding;
WRA, Linda Robinson; and
Zeta Tau Alpha, Dixie Rowe.
Tickets, which are on sale in
the Campus Bookstore, sell for
$2.50 per couple. Tickets will also
be on sale at the door tomorrow
night.
This special drive is being held
in addition to the annual one
sponsored every spring because­the
regional blood center is low
on reserves at this time. With the
Christmas holidays not far ahead,
and ~the accompanying rise in ac­cident
rates, a deficit of blood
could prove dangerous.
The blood center supplies blood
free of charge to all hospitals
w1thin a vast area around Louis­ville,
one of the few cities with a
free blood p r o g r a m . The Red
Cross feels that the University can
supply enough blood for a twenty­one
day period.
The Red Cross, Alpha Phi Ome­ga
and . Pi Gamma Omicron are
the joint sponsors of this blood
driv~ under the same arrange­ments
as thast used in the spring.
Members of the latter two organi­zations
will be in the University
Center building today and tomor­row
to urge students to make ap­pointments
to donate.
