THE CARDINAL
VOL. XXXL, NO. 16
USS Obtains
New Seating
For Students
The resolution passed by the
University Student Senate doing
away with reserved seats at bas­ketball
games has been accepted
by the Athletic Committee and the
Athletic Department. Gary Pen­nington,
USS representative to the
committee, announced at the
meeting last Thursday that Les
Moise, head of the Athletic Pub­licity
and Ticket Department, has
agreed to the idea that no reserv­ed
tickets shall be handed out at
the door, and seating in the stud­ent
section shail be on a first­come,
first-served basis.
Mr. Moise also stipulated that
students be informed that this
change was made at the request of
the Student Senate, in case there
is any division of student opinion
in the matter.
At the time Mr. Pennington
moved to have student seating
changed, he said that he felt that
the majority of students would
rather take whatever seats are
empty when they get to the sec­tion,
because most of the time that
is what they must do anyway,
if someone else already occupies
their reserved seat. In addition,
those who arrive earliest for the
games don't always get the best
seats because the top half of the
middle section is filled · first, the
closer seats going to those who
arrive later.
New Member Elected
Miss Sharon Stengell, as a sen­ior
in the College of Business,
was elected to fill the voting posi­tion
vacated by Les Houston of
Law School.
A motion was presented by
Mike Curley that the money set
aside for keys for the Senate,
amounting to almost $200.00 be
used to purchase a plaque naming
the new men's dormitory Mem­orial
Hall, in honor of all former
University of Louisville students
who have given their lives in the
defense of their country.
President Philip Davidson said
Monday that the resolution was
an excellent one which would be
taken into consideration by the
administration in naming the
building .

Campus Vandals Cast
Their Ugly Shadows
To the Editor of THE CARDINAL:
Last Friday night the statue of "The Thinker" was again
daubed with paint. We have been relatively free from this type
of vandalism in the last year and were beginning to be hope­ful
that students and townspeople had become aware of the
value and beauty of this superb bronze cast of August Rodin's
best known statue.
The University does not own this statue. It was given
to the City of Louisville, and City officials placed it on the
University campus because they felt that it would be cherished
and appreciated here as nowhere else in the city. Every time it
is marred in any way, the University has betrayed a trust.
And we can hardly expect that, seeing the damage done to so
valuable a piece of property, Louisvillians will want to trust us
with other gifts.
The University Administration is distressed by the vanda­lism.
We are even more distressed by the spirit behind such
vandalism. College spirit is more than youthful exuberance
which expresses itself with a can of paint. It is a sense of pride
in all that the University is and all that it stands for. It is
constructive rather than destructive. We sincerely believe that
if "The Thinker" was painted by a student or group of students,
such a group is decidedly in the minority on the campu . We
hope that the innate good sense of the students of the Univer­sity
of Louisville will prevent the recurrence of such a happen-ing.
We think it will. Philip Davidson

UL To Participate In Survey
Deterinining Post-Grad Plans
After college what?
The University of Louisville has been chosen by the South­ern
Regional Education Board to participate in a survey of
college seniors to determine their post-graduate plans.
Within a week or ten days all the seniors in the under­graduate
schools of the university will receive a questionnaire
which they are asked to fill in and mail directly to Florida
State University, where all the information will be coded and
analyzed.
No individual will be identified the needs of students in years to
in the study and 1all responses will
be completely confidential. It is
vital, however, that the question­naires
be answered completely and
returned promptly !because the
summaries of the answers will be
very important to our university
and others all over the South in
planning programs more suited to
come.
H is highly important that all
quesbionnaires 1be completed since
the replies of seniors in the thirty
sample institutions will provide a
basis tfor estimating trends among
all seniors in the Southern region.
100% Return Necessary
In order to assure 100% com­pletion
of the survey, all students
whose questionnaires have not
been returned by the deadline will
be con1aded personally /by an oo­ficial
of the Southern Regional
Education Board.
Dean Dave Lawrence empha­sized
the importance of the career
survey tby stating, "A little time
devoted to the completion of the
questionnaire will lbe a definite
contribution to the university and
to other colleges and universities
as well. I am sure that our seniors
will •give serious attention to the
study and will supply promptly
the information requested."
