issued, free of charge, as many
stickers as cars that he drives on
campus provided he' can give a
license plate number for each car.
Students who do not own cars or
who do not drive on campus must
also fill out a car registration card
and indicate that they do not plan
to drive a car on campus.
All non-stickered cars parked
on campus or those whose stick­ers
are not attached on the lower

Recipient of Grant
Studies Strychnine
Dr. Kevin Potts, Associate Pro­fessor
of Chemistry at the Uni­versity
of Louisville has received
a $36,000 grant from the National
Science Foundation for basic re­search
in organic chemistry. The
grant will be used for study of
ways to synthesize members of
the strychnine group of alkaloids.
"The alkaloids of the strychnine
group are extracted from the nut
of a tree found in India. These
alkaloids are among the most
complex classes of natural pro­ducts
isolated from plant sour­ces,"
according to Potts.
Dr. Potts stated that although
his project might be vaguely re­lated
to the search for new stry­chnine-
like drugs, he will deal
with it as a strict project in basic
research.

French Journalists Say
Civil War .Not Likely
By Carla Rueckert
The fate of France will be decided before next summer,
according to Michel Gordey, speaker at a Social Science seminar
last Tuesday. He told students "we l the French l feel we are
living on top of a volcano."
Mr. Gordey, chief foreign cor­respondent
of the Paris daily,
France-Soir, and Quincey Howe,
news analyst for ABC and an edi­tor
of Atlas magazine, spoke to
the seminar as the 1962 recipients
of the Columbia- Catherwood
Awards. These awards, given by
the School of Journalism of Co­lumbia
University in cooperation
with the Institute Francais de
Presse, go to one American and
one French journalist each year
to further international under­standing.
The two stressed the danger of
the Algerian situation because of
the possibility of French civil war
and of German unification with
Russia. According to Howe, if the
Germans feel France may fall,
" they might very well be tempted
to make not a military alliance
with the Soviet Union, but a neu­tralist
pact . . . thus giving the
So v i e t Union a free hand in
France."
Gordey noted that "America is
[the Germans] only protector . . .
there are some doubts in Germany
... that if it ever comes to a big
crisis, America may not be willing
to commit suicide for Berlin." Al­though
the Germans hate the Rus­sians,
Gordey stated that fear may
create feeling that Germ any
should come to terms with them.
According to Howe, the most
critical part of the situation is
"the civil war now raging in Al­geria."
He stated that France now
has all of her forces outside the
country in Algeria. Howe believes
"the position of France on the
continent of Europe makes it of
strategic importance. As France
goes, so goes Western Europe."
opinion of the Frenchmen in Al­geria
and the o p i n i on of the
Frenchmen in France."
Go dey stated that "De Gaulle
will probably make peace in the
next few weeks ... then in Al­geria
there will be murder and
riots comparable to [those] after
the partitioning of India." He said
"there will be a terrible clash be­tween
the Algerian French headed
by the OAS, and the Algerian
Arab population."
Civil war, however, is not like­ly,
according to. Gordey. He be­lieves
"mutiny of the army would
be the only way . . . we do not
have much respect for generals
because we know they have been
fighting wars for 22 years and los­ing
them all."
Gordey explained that the OAS,
a terrorist group "hired to kill,"
is very small in France. He stated
that only two or three per cent
back them, and only five or six
per cent sympathize with them.
Mr. and Mrs. Bingham
Present Endowment
To Campus Library
Fifty Thousand Dollar Gift Will Be
Used For Unrestricted Book Purchase
Mr. and Mrs. Barry Bingham have presented the Uni­v
ersity of Louisville Library with a gift of $50,000 for the
unrestricted purchase of books. The gift was accepted by the
Board of TrustEes at their regular monthly meeting yesterday.
According to University presi­dent
Dr. Philip Davidson, the gift
will be established as an endow­ment
fund to be called the Mary
and Harry Bingham Book Fund.
Auditions For
Variety Show
Are Scheduled
The Student Senate has an­nounced
plans for a Campus Va­riety
Show to be given by Uni­versity
of Louisville l:>tudents at
8:00p.m. on March 14 in the Play­house.
Proceeds will be given to
the World University Service -
an organization that supplies basic
educational necessities to students
who cannot acquire them inde­pendently.
Co-chairmen and producers of
the show, Paul Peterson and
Mitch McConnell, have engaged
Bigelow Hall for auditions. So­rority
acts will be auditioned at
3:00 p.m. on February 9th and
fraternity acts the following Mon­day
at the same time. All other
tryouts are scheduled on February
13, 14, and 16th at 3:00 p.m. Or­ganizations
are not limited to one
act and students in the same act
may be from various organiza­tions.
Mr. Robert Griffith has offered
to organize a pit band. Mr. James
Byrd and Mr. Henry Tharp of the
Playhouse will be in charge of the
staging.
Masters of Ceremony are Jim­my
Logsdon, Happy Fowler, and
Larry Timberlake. They will also
assist in directing and writing.
Stage Manager is Chuck Byrne.
The programs are being created
by Sally Herman. Advertising
space in the programs is available.
Miss Evelyn Schneider, Univer­sity
Librarian, stated that income
from the fund will amount to
about $3,000 annually. Purchasing
of books with this income will
begin this spring. Artist Victor
Hammer will be commissioned by
the University to design a book­plate
to be placed in volumes pur­chased
from the income.
Dr. Davidson said: "We are
delighted to receive and admini­ster
the Mary and Barry Bingham
Book Fund. The Bingham gift to
the library is a superb example of
a way that Louisville's citizens
are able to help the University
fulfill one of its major purposes.
An unrestricted gift such as this
will provide additional books for
our students in all fields of study.
The books which the fund will
enable the University to buy will,
themselves, make a sizable li­brary."
Miss Schneider told The Cardi­nal:
"No library can de v e 1 o p
b r o a d 1 y without good friends,
which Mr. and Mrs. Bingham have
long proved themselves to be. We
all appreciate their continued in­terest
as evidenced by this gener­ous
gift. We are particularly
grateful for their sympathetic un­derstanding
of library needs."
The librarian will determine the
books to be purchased. According
to Miss Schneider, the fund's lack
of restriction will enable the li­brary
to purhase reference and
other books as needg change.
The fund is the second gift to
the library from the Bingham
family. In 1957, the Binghams
gave the library about 1,000 vol­umes
from the library of the late
Judge Robert Worth Bingham.
According to M i s s Schneider,
these books form a collection of
works on the history and culture
of E n g 1 a n d . Judge Bingham
served as Ambassador to the
Court of St. James.
The library now has some 280,-
000 catalogued pieces - including
books, pamphlets, microcards and
microfilm. A c c o r d i n g to Miss
Schneider, over 28,00 books were
received as gifts last year and
4,000 books were purchased. The
library received an appropriation
of $230,000 from the 1957 Develop­ment
Fund which faculties of the
various colleges are now deter­mining
how to spend.

Senate Ways and Means
Commission Head. Anyone inter­ested
in the Commission should

Gordey warned that the Fifth
Republic may suffer the same fate
as the Fourth which was over­thrown
in 1958, although most
Frenchmen understand that inde­pendence
must be granted to Al­geria.
According to Gordey, "there
is a great divorce between the
