Inaugurated;
Program Set
The Rauch Memorial Planetar­ium

April 17, 1962. Remarks
for the Citizens Committee for
the Rauch Memorial Planetarium
were made by Wilson W. Wyatt,
Lieutenant Governor, State of

Adath Israel Temple; and
for the University of Louisville by
Philip Davidson, President, Uni­versity
of Louisville. Mrs. Joseph
Rauch officially opened the Plane­tarium.
The Rauch Memorial Planetar­ium
is being dedicated to Rabbi
Joseph Rauch, who for forty years
before his death in 1957, was the
leader of the Adath Israel Congre­gation.
Beyond his service at the
Temple, he was on the Board of
Trustees of the University of
Louisville and the Louisville Free
Public Library.
Mr?. Etta Rauch, Rabbi Rauch's
widow, has co-operated with thel
community leaders and the Uni­versity
of Louisville to produce, in
the Rauch Memorial Planetarium,
a research and teaching tool for
the students of the University, as
well as for elementary and high
school students.
Programs at the Planetarium
will be presented Friday, April 20,
1962, at 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.;
Saturday, April 21, at 7:30 p.m.
and 8:30 p.m.; and Sunday, April
22, at 3:00 p.m.
The planetarium is essentially a
theatre designed for documentary
presentation of astronomy. It is a
theatre in which the audience is
surrounded by a view of the sky
shown as a projection on a hem­ispherical
dome. The r e 1 a t i v e
movement of stars and planets,
the moon, sun and special objects,
such as comets, may be shown.
Motion of the celestial b o d i e s
which might take thousands of
years may be presented in a rela­tively
small amount of time.
One Point Standing
Necessary In A&S
For lntercollegians
Dean Richard Barber of the
College of Arts and Sciences this
week announced a new policy
concerning scholarship require­ments
in the A&S College.
For participation in intercol­legiate
extracurricular activities,
a student now must have a 1.00
overall average at the end of the
semester preceding the semester
in which the student wishes to
participate. (This includes inter­collegiate
sports and debating
teams.) This rule was passed by
the Faculty of the A&S College.
The problem as to what constitutes
extracurricular activities will be
clarified by the Plans and Policies
Commission of the faculty.
Also passed was a regulation
that will become effective for the
Freshman Class of 1963. For grad­uation,
a student must have a 1.00
overall in his major field, and a
1.00 overall in subjects outside the
major field.
Dr. Roland Nelson, assistant
Dean of the A&S College, com­mented,
"It is an honest effort on
- the part of the college faculty to
improve scholarship in the col­lege."

Senate Laws Rewritten;
New Committees Formed
The commission heads system of the Student Senate will be abol­ished
after the spring elections as a result of a vote at that bodies last
meeting. Before the change in the By-Laws of the Senate, most of the
traditional activities and functions of the University were the re­sponsibility
of various Commission Heads who were chosen from the
Student Body by Senate members to serve in this capacity.
Under the revised By-Laws, the commission-heads system has been
replaced by three major committee which will handle all activities and
functions of the Senate. A chairman for each committee will be chosen
from within the membership of the Student Senate by the Executive
Committee which is composed of the President and Vice-President of
the U. S. S. and the President of each Student Council whose
school is represented in the Sen-ate.
These chairmen will act as p bl• 1 • d coordinators for all activities un- U lC n V zte
dertaken by the Student Senate.
Members of each committee
will be selected from without the
Senate to work on specific proj­ects
where additional committee
members will be helpful. In addi­tion,
only those members of in­dividual
committees will be able
to vote on issues which concern
that particular group. T h e s e
changes are designed to make the
University Student Senate a more
workable organization, and more
reflective and responsible to the
Student body's thinking and de­sires.
Another change was made in
the By-Laws to more clearly spell
out how proxies shall be handled
when a member is unable to at­tend
for a bonafide reason. In
summary, only one proxy can
now be given to any one member
at any one meeting.
The initial proposals and ideas
for changes in the By-Laws oc­curred
as a result of extended
study by the Policy Codifying
Committee-Jerry Marx, Chair­man,
and Betty Christian, Linda
Caudill, Jerry Gratten, Joe Love,
Dave Vaughan and Rick Rem­mers.
These changes are particularly
significant for those members of
the student body who plan to run
for at large representative or
from schools for positions on the
u.s.s.

Admission Policies
Revised For A &S
by Randy Ivy
New admission requirements
for the University of Louisville
were approved April 18, by the
Board of Trustees. Beginning with
the Freshman Class of 1963-64, all
applicants to the College of Arts
and Sciences must submit the re­sults
of their College Entrance
Examination Board Tests.
The CEEB is a branch of the
Educational Testing Service with
headquarters in Princeton, New
Jersey. It is a non-profit Corpor­ation
controlled by the member
colleges. The Board has two pri­mary
functions:
Senate Passes
Activities Fee
For Students
At the April 12th meeting of
the University Student Senate, a
motion was approved which will
provide an increase of $5.00 in
registration fees. The assessment
would cover the cost of Homecom­ing
games, big-name bands, and
Senior Balls. It would also include
athletic trips, cheerleader trips,
cost of pictures for the Thorough­bred
and the $2.00 paid for the
yearbook this year.
The motion for the assessment
will be placed on the spring ballot
along with the candidates for the
senate seats. The general election
of members has been scheduled
for May 8. The Administration
has stated that two-thirds of the
student body must vote in favor of
the bill for i~ to carry.
If passed, the bill will make
activity cards for full-time A&S,
Business, and Music School stu­dents
$5.00 per semester, full-time
Speed - $3.35 a quarter, and un­dergraduate
part-time - $.40 an
hour. All professional, graduate
and night school students would
have the option of buying a card
for $5.00 a semester. Cards would
also be available to student's hus­band.
s and wives, and no assess­ment
would be made during the
summer sessions.
If enacted, all monies collected
in this manner would be admin­istered
by the Student Senate in
conjunction with the Administra­tion.
Dr. Clinton Rossiter
1. To help colleges assess stu­d
e n t s ' academic potential
through the administration
of a standardized test.
2. To improve the admissions
policies and procedures of
member colleges through re­search.
"College Boards" a r e given
each year throughout the United
States. The tests are administered
only on specific dates and at pre­selected
testing centers. Those
students seeking admission to U.
of L. will be able to mark their
test forms accordingly, and grades
will automatically be forwarded
to this college.
There will be no pre-determined
minimum score necessary for en­trance
into the University. The
new system will be a flexible one,
concerning itself with test scores,
high school grades, rank in class,
and recommendation of counselor
or principal. Conversely, there
will be no maximum score which
will insure admission.
Although students will be ac­accepted
as the result of satis­factory
scores on their CEEB test,
the present entrance examination
will still be used as a placement
test. The regular $15.00 applica­tion
fee will be charged and ap­plied
toward the student's tuition.
Local students will take this
placement test during the sum­mer,
out-of-town students two
days before the start of freshman
orientation.
The particular CEEB test re­quired
will be the three hour
Morning Aptitude Test which
measures verbal and mathemati­cal
skills. The college is planning
to make some correlation studies
between this test and the one now
used here as an entrance exam.
Depending on the outcome of
these comparisons, the placement
test may be either dropped com­pletely
or shortened within the
next five years.
During an interview with Dr.
Roland Nelson, Assistant Dean of
the College of Arts and Sciences,
he said, "Most better known pri­vate
colleges and many state uni­versities
use it. The CEEB is re­quired
by Harvard, Yale, M.I.T.,
Duke, Vassar, and Vanderbilt."
Schools in Kentucky which use
this test are Transylvania and
Center.
