THE CARDINAL
Vol. xxxm, No. 3
Total U. of ]L.
Enrollment
Drops 8.1%
Figures released this week by
the Registrar's Office indicate
that the total enrollment at the
University has dropped 8.1%
from last Fall.
The greatest numerical drop is
in the University College with 469
fewer students, a decrease of' 19%
in the total enrollment. Music
School showed the biggest per­cent
decrease with drop in total
enrollment of 24.8% in the col­legiate
division. Kent School en­rollment
is down 16.4%, Law
School down 13.9%, and Medical
School down 5.3%. The College of
Arts and Sciences, with twelve
fewer students, had a percentage
drop of 0.7.
Requirements Raised
Mr. Richard Warren, assistant
to the President, noted that "a
more selective admissions policy
in the University is in effect." The
University College, Law Sc:hool,
and Kent School have each raised
their requirements. Mr. Warren
added that "tuition may 'be a
factor." He observed, however,
that enrollment in the Arts and
Science Graduate School is up.
"There are more people in the
graduate program than there have
ever been before." He stated that
the Administration is going to
begin a more active recruitment
program in the high schools.
Dean William Huffman olE the
University College cited three
reasons for the drop of enroll­ment:
the new requirement that
every student apply for admis­sion,
the new centers opened in
the Louisville area by other col­leges,
and the smaller number of
people in. the age group from
which the Co 11 e g e normally
.draws.
Freshmen Higher
The Office of the Dean of Arts
and Sciences announced that the
test scores of entering freshmen
may be significantly above those
of last year's class. A comparison
of average scores made by last
year's class with those of the pre­ceding
year indicated a definite
rise in the abilities of the entE~ring
class. Although final figures for
this year's class must still be com­puted,
preliminary data in the
middle of the summer predlicted
another significant rise. E:xact
figures will be ready in a few
weeks.

Medical Grant
Announced
A $42,000 grant from the Na­tional
Institute of Health will
aid two University of Louisville
Medical School researchers gauge
the recovery rate of some heart
patients. Dr. Leonard Leight and
Dr. Charles J. McCaff will carry
out the research at Louisville
General Hospital for a three year
period.
Dr. Leight said that a patient's
recovery from such a disease as
hardening of the arteries or arter­ioselerosis
is often difficult to
gauge by current methods. He and
· Dr. McCaff hope to find a method
which will be effective in indi­cating
changes in the functions of
heart arteries.
General Hospital patients with
hardening of the arteries and
arterioselerosis will be observed
as they perform standard exer­cises.
Bicycles and treadmills will
·be used for the exercise. By
measuring the amount of blood
pumped through the heart during
the exercises, Dr. Leight and Dr.
McCaff will be able to measure
the efficiency of the heart func­tions.
The doctors plan to check re­sults
of the new method against
those now used in Louisville Gen­eral
Hospital's coronary clinic.
Dr. McCaff is a graduate of the
U n i v e r s i t y of Louisville. He
taught three years at Johns Hop­kins
University before returning
to the University of Louisville as
an Assistant Professor of Medi­cine.
Dr. Leight, head of the Louis­ville
General Hospital's Cardio­Vascular
Laboratory, is also an
assistant professor at the Medical
School.
Law School Rejceives
Seminar Program Grant
From Ford Fon~ndation
$25,000 To Be Used For Research
On "Journal of Family Law"
The University of Louisville School of lLaw has received a $25,000
grant from the Ford Foundation to estabish a three-year program of
seminars in family law. The grant, according to Law School Dean
Marlin M. Volz, is the largest foundation supported gift ever received
by that school of the University.
Cards Meet
MSU Tigers
Big time football returns to the
University of Louisville's campus
for the fir§..t time since the 1950
and 1951 seasons. During these
campaigns the "Big Red" met
such power h o u s e s as Miami
(Fla.), Boston University, North
Carolina State, and Washington
and Lee. The Memphis State Uni­versity
"Tigers" come to town to­morrow
night to meet the Red­birds
of Coach Frank Camp at
the Fairgrounds Stadium. Game
time is at 8:00 p.m.
The Tigers, rated between sixth
and sixteenth among the nation's
elite in major college football, de­pending
on which rating system
you use, will bring a big and ex­perienced
team to Louisville.
Memphis State attained major
status last year and to prove this,
they compiled a won-loss record
of 8-2. Twice during the season
they rose into the top twenty
teams in the nation. This season
they are rated as one of the
s t r o n g e s t independents in the
south.
The University of Louisville is
ranked third in the nation in the
"small" college polls. They are,
however, ranked above suc!J,. maj­or
teams as Yale, Colorado State,
Arizona State, Chattanooga, Indi­ana
University, and Pennsylvania.
They are only a few points under­dog
to California (3.0), Air Force
(5.0), Kentucky (4.0), and Oregon
State (3.0).
Louisville's hopes of upsetting
Memphis State University rest in
the capable hands of Quarterback
John Giles. He has completed 31
of 62 passes for 523 yards in the
first three games this season.
The seminars will be concerned
with such problems as: the adop­tion
of children, the treatment of
juvenile delinquents, changes in
marriage and divorce procedures,
the rights of patients in mental
hospitals, loose extension of credit
as a cause for family break-ups,
and who should be responsible for
the commitment of the mentally
ill person.
These problems, according to
Professor Ralph S. Petrilli, are
now bE~ing studied as a part of
what has come to be called "fam­ily
law." Petrilli defines "family
law" as any law that affects the
interest of the family as a unit.
He points out that the cooperation
of all social agencies is important
in the solution of such problems.
Davidson Delighted
University of Louisville Presi­dent,
Philip Davidson stated: "We
are delighted to receive the Ford
Foundation grant to the School of
Law. The grant seems particular­ly
appropriate in view of the gen­eral
program of the Law School
and its emphasis. I feel that the
grant is also a reflection of the
progress of the various local so­cial
service organizations which
will aid Dean Volz's staff in its
field work."
Professor Petrilli, faculty edi­tor
of "The Journal of Family
Law" will supervise the program.
One seminar in the program will
be taught by a team of faculty
members from the School of Law,
Kent School of Social Work, and
the Departments of Psychology
and Sociology.
Students To Work
The University of Louisville
project will be carried out by
second-year law students. Dean
Volz stated that law students are
now required to earn a minimum
of two credits in the School's
"Legal Workshop." The "Legal
Workshop" includes such activi­ties
as the "Journal of Family
Law," the Legal Aid Society, the
Briefing Service, the Judicial As­sistance
Program, and internships
with the United States Attorney's
