Building Program Booms;
Seven Projects Now Underway

CONSTRUCTION of the new Medical-Dental Research Building is well
under way. The three million dollar project is expected to be completed
in December, 1962.
Arts And Sciences Begins
Student Counselor Program
The Arts and Sciences Student
Council, along with the Office of
the Dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences, has launched a
new program of student counsel­ing
for the freshmen registering
this fall. The main objectives are
to assist the new student by serv­ing
as a c a p a b l e and willing
source of information; to assist
faculty advisers working with
these students; and to assist the
Dean and his staff in the orienta­tion
program.
The program was put to its first
test on Thursday, September 14,
when the freshmen were asked
to d,ivide up according to their
m a j o r s and follow the head
counselors •to the i r respective
rooms where they were to meet
with a faculty advisor to discuss
their schedules. There, the head
counselors assigned approximate­ly
five freshmen to one counselor,
and the students met for a brief
time, informally discussing any
problem which might have arisen
during the course of Orientation.
Each counselor is expected to
meet with his freshmen a:f.ter reg­istration,
before mid-terms and
again before finals, at th~ mini­mum.
Of course, the intricate part of
the program is the counseling
done by the upperclassmen, for
theirs is a difficult role as a repre­sentative
of the University but not
"a spy for the Administration."
The counselors acted as a bridge
whereby a means of closer con­tact
between the students and the
Administration was effected and
each assumed his position as one
of trust and seriousness. These
students had a series of meetings
with Dean Barber in which their
part of the program was empha­sized.
Each was given copies of
the basic curricular information, a
bulletin, and a schedule book of
courses.
The end result was a great deal
of enthusiasm shown for the pro­gram
on the part of the head
counselors and counselors, and
both the Administration and the
Faculty seemed to approve of the
counseling done.
Campus reaction to the new
Student Counseling Service is
fairly unanimous in its enthu­siasm,
although many people feel
there is room for improvement.
Here are some of the comments of
faculty members, of the counselors
themselves, and of incoming fresh­men.
Dr. Paul F. Angiolillo, Modern
Language Department. "Of course
I have not seen the results of the
program yet, but I think it is a
splendid idea. The best part is
that freshmen probably feel freer
to talk to their own classmates
than to a faculty member. I think
we often forget how confusing
everything is to freshmen. They
need help with many 1 i t t 1 e
things."
Miss Lois Massie, Physical Edu­cation
Department. "The student
counselors did a wonderful job
and worked very hard. However,
I think students are not experi­enced
enough to advise undecided
f r e s h m e n . A lot of what the
counselors did had to be redone."
Lynne Blough, English major.
" ... a good idea but it needs
more organization. Some of the
counselors and the faculty mem­bers
were confused. Being an
English-Drama major, I found it
hard to counsel "undecideds." But
I think the project is worthwhile
and think it should continue."
·Lynne Meena, English major.
"Counseling the undecideds was
a good idea since they needed
more advice than any of the other
students.
Julie McLain, Mathematics ma­jor.
"I felt very useful and feel
that both the faculty and the
freshmen appreciated my ef­forts."
Rita Ricks, Freshman (English
major). "It's just wonderful, I
don't see how you all got along
without it."
Barbara P r e i s , F r e s h m a n
(French major). "I thought it was
excellent - without it I would
have been lost!"
Timothy Merritt, Freshman. "I
t h i n k that the upperclassmen
have done a very fine job."
Juanita Thomas, Freshman. "I
couldn't have lived without it."
Rautch Memorial,
Res4~arch Building
Construction Starts
by Liz Wong
The University of Louisville will
atJtempt to meet its increasing
physical needs through an aggres­sive
building program, according
to Administrative officials. Presi­dent
Davidson's report on the Uni­versity,
"Ten Years of Growth".
revealed many projects already
underway, including a Medical­Dental
Research Building, coed
dormitory, Medical Center Apart­ments,
and planetarium. Plans for
the future include a University
hospital, classroom buildings for
Arts and Sciences, additions to
Law and Business Schools, and a
gymnasium.
Belknap Campus now extends
to Brandeis and First Street with
the Joseph Rauch Planetarium ad­jacent
to the Speed Museum.
Ground-breaking for the plane­tarium
began in June, 1961. Funds
were supplied principally by pri­vate
subscription from the Temple
Adath Israel congregation and
friends and admirers of Rabbi
Rauch, who also served as trustee
of the University of Louisville
from 1H33-1946. The balance of the
$125,000 came from the Louisville
and J eJfferson County School Sys­tems
with the understanding that
the facillities would be available to
them without charge. The circular
building will contain the neces­sary
equipment to project the
representation of the sky in ac­tion.
It will seat one hundred peo­ple.
The Rauch Planetarium will
be the first in the state of Ken­tucky
when completed in the
Spring of 1962.
Parkway Field
Renovation of Parkway Field
for intramural sports and varsity
practice fields is another project
scheduled to be completed in the
Spring of 1962. Progress has been
made toward demolishing the old
stands. From the sale of salvaged
materials, $4,250 was a p p I i e d
toward the $56,250 cost of renova­tion.
The other $52,000 came from
a City of Louisville grant to the
University. The facilities will in­clude
a baseball diamond and a
practice football field ringed by a
quarter-mile running track. In ad­dition,
locker rooms, offices, and a
first-aid station under the stands
will be renovated, and spaces for
83 cars will be added to the park­ing
lot.
U.L. Adds to Medical Center
In July ground was broken for
the Medical - Dental Research
Building at Floyd and Walnut
Streets in the downtown Medical
Center. The building will have an
area of approximately 120,000 sq.
ft. and will contain research lab­oratories
for medical and dental
students. It will also house ani­mals
used in research.
William McGlothlin, Vice-Pres­ident
of the University, has given
these f i g u r e s to illustrate the
growing magnitude of the money
spent in r e s ear c h. In 1948 the
amount spent was $8000, and in
1958 $800,00 was spent in research.
Today, the f i g u r e totals over
$1,200,000.
