Cards To Face Ohio Five
An inspired Ohio team attempted ·to upset the Cards
Tuesday. They didn't.
Senate Approves NeY#
U of L Democrats Club
The University Student Senate, at its March 9 meeting, approved
the constitution of the University of Louisville Liberal Democratic
Student Association. The Association listed as its objectives to pro­mote
political action and educational programs on the campus. It
will be open to all University stu­dents
who are registered Demo­crats
and to those ineligible for
registration who support the
Democratic party.
Repr•esentatives of the Senate
have planned to meet with Uni­versity
Executive Vice President
Woodrow M. Strickler before the
The Senate also announced that next Board of Trustees meeting
to discuss the 12 o'clock curlew.
Today is St. Patrick's Day, but Louisville's Cardinals of Coach
Peck Hickman used the luck of the Irish this past Tuesday night in
slipping past an aroused Ohio University five 76-70 at Freedom
Hall, in the preliminary round of the N.C.A.A. Mideast Regional.
The Cards hope to rely on that luck and more tonight when they
meet the nation's number one team, the undefeated Big Ten and
N,C,A,A. defending champs, the Buckeyes of Coach Fred Taylqr
of Ohio State at 7:30 p.m. More-head,
a 71-66 winneroverXavier Oxford Graduate
of Ohio, Tuesday night, will meet
Southeastern Conference repre­sentative
Kentucky, in the second
game tonight at 9:30 p.m.
Louisville hardly resembled
the team that earlier defeated
Ohio University 117-84. The Bob­cats
from Athens, Ohio,foughton
almost even terms with the home­town
Redbirds until only :49 sec­onds
showed on the big score­board
clock. Leading by only two
points, 72-70, at this point,
Louisville's John Turner and
Howard Stacey each hit two free
throws apiece, to put the issue
out-of-doubt and to make the final
score 76-70 in favor of Louis-ville.
And so now Louisville tries
tonight to do something that 29
other teams (24 of them this
season) have failed to do; defeat
Fred Taylor's Buckeyes from
Columbus. U of L students are
asked not to come to Freed om
Hall unless you have a ticket.
Tonight's game will be broad­cast
on radio stations W.I.N.N ••
W.H.A.S. and W.A. V.E.
Israeli Consul
To Speak Twice
On March 21 and 22 the Uni­versity
and the International
Center will be the host to the
Consulate General of Israel, Mr.
Shaul Ramati. Mr. Ramati, a
graduate of Oxford, will speak to
the International Relations Club
on the 21st at their regular noon
meeting in the Library Lecture
Lounge. The meeting will be open
to all students of the University.
On Wednesday evening March 22,
at 8 p.m., he will speak in the
Allen Court Room. This speech
will be open to the public.
Mr. Rarnati was born in Poland
but was educated in Switzerland,
Austria, and England. He has pub-applications
for position of Lead­ership
and L-Raisers Commis­sion
Heads are due by March 23,
when the voting members of the
Senate will elect these Commis­sion
Heads. Applications should
be in the form of letters.
Lo4~al Restaurant Picketing
Re.sumed By Integrated Line
Paul Peterson informed the
Senate that the Arts and Sciences
Student Council is sponsoring
.. High School Senior Days'' April
4-6 from 1-3. Peterson asked
the Senate members who are in­tP.
rP.StP.d in participating.
A treasury report showed that
the Senate has spent $55 on tro­phies
for Barbershop com­petition.
In a discussion on continuing
absences from Senate meetings,
it was decided that the Senate
will send letters to the Deans of
all Schools within the University,
requesting that the presidents and
vice presidents of school govern­ing
bodies attend Senate meetings
as "part of their official duties."
Anne Lit t 1 e remarked that
" these members fail to attend
meetings all semester and then
show up at Senate elections to
j o i n c o m b i n e s and s w i n g
elections."
Picketing of d~e Cardinal Inn
and Loophole restaurants by per­sons
protesting the segregation
policy of these establishments
resumed Monday, March 13,
across from Belknap Campus at
the University of Louisville.
The pi c k e t i n g had e n de d
Wednesday, March 8, pendingthe
results of Louisville Mayor
Bruce Hoblitzell's committee
meetings with community lead­ers
to end segregation policies
in local businesses. After the
committee report was issued in
the Louisville papers, it was felt
there was still a need for pick­eting.
This week's efforts to register
disapproval of the Cardinal Inn
and Loophole segregation were
carried on by both white and
Negro University of Louisville
students . Mr. Thomas Grayson,
a Teaching Fellow in the Eng-lish
Department, College of Arts
and Sciences, took part in the
picketing along with the stu­dents.
The picketers w a 1 ked up and
down before the restaurants; they
carried large signs with much
the same message as lastweek's
s igns.
The picketing was orderly, but
crowds watching on Mondaywere
hostile and jeering. "Talce the
next boat back to Africa;'' "Those
whites are worse than the Ne­groes,"
.. There's that. . • .
beatnik;'' they yelled.
Bob George, owner of the Card­inal
Inn, is reported to have said
that if his customers want him to
integrate, all they have to do is
stay away from the store for a
day .
Tue day's picketing was very
quiet; no crowd gathered, and the
protesting students were ignored
for the most part.
Shaul Ramati
lished s e v e r a 1 a r tic 1 e s and
pamphlets on political, economic,
and security topics.
The Consulate General served
in the British Army in WW II.
He settled in Israel in 1948 and
later fought in the War of Inde­pendence
as a colonel in the
Israelian Army.
Mr. Ramati joined the lsraeJ
Foreign Service in june, 1959
and took up his appointment in
August, 1959 in the Consulate­General
of Israel in Chicago. He
serves a Consul and Director
of Information in charge of Press
and Information Services for the
Midwest area.
Speed To Conduct Seminar On New Computer
This new IBM No. 1620 computer will be the subiect of
Speed Scientific School sentinar toclay.
Speed Scientific School will hold a Seminar on
its new IBM# 1620 computer beginning at 9 a.m.
today in Speed Hall, Room 10. Mr. Alfred T. Chen,
Instructor of Engineering Mathematics at SpeeJ,
will conduct the seminar.
The schedule for the program is as follows: In­troduction
to Digital Computers, 9:00a.m. to 9:50
a.m.; Fundamentals of Programming 10:00 a.m. to
11:00 a.m.; #1620 Fortran 11:00 a.m. to 12:00noon
and 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.; Demonstrative Prob­lems
3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Operation of #1620
DPS 4:30 p.m.
The new computer is a solid state electronic
digital computer which replaces the IBM-610 auto­point
~-omputer. It is a machine which operates
with in.formation, numerical (such as the decimal
numbers) or symbolic (such as the English alpha­bet),
in a digital form {such as the decimal digits).
Chen described the science of automatic com­putatior~
as "a dream of scientists for many cen­turies"'
. He asse rted that the advent of digital
comput,ers has made this dream come true.
The Computer Revolution, Chen continued, has
the efff~ct of " relieving men from certain mental
drudgeries" in the same way that the Industrial
Revolution relieved men from manual labor.
The object of the computation program in the
University is integration of automatic computation
in engineering instruction., so that more emphasis
can be made on the exposition and exploration in
scientific and engineering principles in undergrad­uate
work as well as graduate stuaies.
Three courses are now being offered in auto­matic
computation at the Speed Scientific School:
Math 204, Methods of Numerical Analysis; Math
400, Machine Computing; and Math 500, Advanced
Machine Computing.
Chen described an appropriate view of the com­puter
as .. a place where information is stored and
may be retrieved for reference at will in other
words, similar in function to a library." In addi­tion,
he continued, the computer is capable of
generating new information from the manipulation
of existing information.
"Although the computer;.. man team is quite cap­able
of replacing the pencil-paper-slide-rule-man
computation team", Chen concluded, .. it would be
erroneous to consider the computer as a super
slide rule."
