THE CARDINAL
VOL. XXXI, NO. 28 UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE. I;OUISVILLE 8, KENTUCKY May 5, 1960
Convention Cancels A & S-> Business Classes Monday
We Can Mock
Our Ridiculers
The time is drawing near for a
percentage of the students of this
University to change the a'tltitudes
of both the citizens of. Louisville
and ridiculing membets of the stu­dent
hody., The time has arisen for
us to mock, by actions, those who
have mocked us by words. I think
that it would be justifiable at this
time to congratulate the students
who have done such a wonderful
job of keeping the whole idea alive.
Let us remember th'a't the student
body here at the University of
Louisville has put together in the
last month what other Universities
in this country have put together
in one year.
Although we are on a down liill
slope, the members of the steering
Commi'ttee would like to urge you
to keep up the spirit and we hope
the final decision will be a credit
to the University and the S t~ate of
Kentucky.
/
Thank you for your cooperation.

Wi'th the words "Will the Uni­versity

in the 163 year history of
the school will begin.
With more than some 700 of the
University's student body in­volved,
this has been acclaimed by
m'any to be the biggest extrava­ganza
to hit the University since
Dave Garroway and his ''Today"
program came to Belknap Com-·
pus in the d:iall of 1956. Every col­lege
of the University is involved,
wfth the exception of Medical and
Dental Schools.
Today, at 12 noon, in the Hide­away
of the UC, the final meet­ing
of the state delegation chair­men
will lbe held. At this meeting,
credentials, and other information
regarding the convention will be
given out. It is imperative that all
state chairmen attend this meet­ing.
Tomorrow, May 6, at 12 p.m. in
Bigelow Hall of the Student Union
Building, a mee'ting of all dele­gates
will take place, it is impera­tive
that delegates attend this
meeting as important inrformation
regarding the ,convention will be
given out.
In an exclusive release to The
Cardinal, President Philip David­son
and Exe!Cutive Vice-President

joint announcement:

"The Deans of the different col­leges
have eonsented to the dis­missal
of classes in their colleges,
with the agreement that all stu­dents
involved will attend the
Mock Convention. We, of the Uni­versity,
feel this Convention will
be a good lesson in practical poli­tics
that college students would
otherwise not ibe ·able to receive.
We trust that all University stu­dents
will be at the Convention,
and take an .active part in it."
The steerilrl.g committee of the
