UL #2 again
By Barbara Baumann
David Sanks ('67) and Michal
Morford ('67) were unanimously
elected as the new officers of the
Arts and Sciences Student Coun­cil
by the members of that body.
But a question has arisen as to
Bank's eligibility to serve as
president of the Council because
he is now enrolled in Graduate

It was a good week for the
University of Louisville basket­ball
team.
Not only did the talented Car­dinals
regain the number two spot
in the Associated Press and
United Press International round­ball
polls but the two UL super­stars,
Westley Unseld and Butch
Beard, were named to National

came to Louisville from Brecken­ridge
County where he was also
a high school AU-American.
Beard has supplied the scoring
punch for the Cards this year,
averaging 21.3.
Named along with Unseld were
Lew Alcindor of UCLA, Jim
Walker of Providence, Bobby
Lloyd of Rutgers, and Elvin
Hayes of Houston.
In addition to Beard, Clem Has­kins
of Western Kentucky was
selected to the NBAC All-Amer­ican

clearly stated in the Council's con­stitution
whether a student gradu­ating
in January is able to con­tinue
as a member of the Council
while in Graduate School. The
Council will deal with this matter
at their meeting today.
The election of new officers
became necessary when President
Al Bissmeyer ('67) and Vice­President
Patty Johmann ('67)
resigned at the end of the fall
semester.
Bissmeyer left UL to · work in
Washington, D.C. in Congressman
William 0. Cowger's office. He is
taking several hours credit here,
as well as at George Washington
University night school. Miss
Johmann, who would have ordi­narily
succeeded Bissmeyer, was
unable to due to student teaching
requirements.
Banks, a physics major, is a
member of Tau Kappa Epsilon
Fraternity, Phi Eta Sigma, Omi­cron
Delta Kappa, and Sigma Pi
Sigma honorary fraternities. He
was named to Who's Who in
American Colleges and Univer­sities
and has been a member of
the Council for two years.
Miss Morford is a music his­tory
major, president of Delta
Zeta Sorority, and a member of
the Student Senate and the Stu­dent
Activities Committee.
Plans presented
Bank's plans for this semester
include the following.
Louisville, which had dropped
to third after a last-second loss to
arch-rival Cincinnati three weeks
ago, reclaimed second place after
North Carolina, formerly number
two, d r o p p e d an upset
loss to Georgia Tech. The Car­dinal's
previous ranking had
been third.
Undefeated UCLA maintained
their firm grip on first place but
did relinquish one first place to
UL. The Bruins are now 19-0.
Library reorganizes
general card catalogue
Kentucky is the only state
which boasts two teams in the
top ten as Western Kentucky cap­tured
its 19th straight win against
one loss to boost the Hilltoppers
into fifth place in a AP poll.
Meanwhile the Cardinal round­bailers
were the only team in the
nation to land two players in the
top ten NBAC All-Americans.
Unseld was voted to the first
team and Beard to the second.
Unseld, a former high school
All-American from Louisville
Seneca, is currently averaging
19.1 points per game and ranks
second in the nation in rebound­ing.

Two new innovations have been
made by the University of Lou­isville
Libraty which will af­fect
all Library users. The Public
Card Catalogue has been divided
into a general catalogue and a
subject catalogue, and the Library
of Congress system of classifica­tion
has been adopted to replace
the Dewey Decimal System now
in use.
The changes will improve serv­ice
and efficiency.
The new general catalogue will
contain all author and title cards
as well as cards for books about
authors and titles. Topical sub­jects,
including names of coun-tries,
states, and cities when used
as subjects, will be found in the
subject catalogue. A guide card
will be placed in the subject cata­logue
for each subject, and those
trays will have pink labels to
distinguish them from the gen­eral
catalogue trays.
The public catalogue used to
contain author, title, and subject
cards inter-filed alphabetically. As
the number of cards in the cata­logue
increased, the arrangement
of cards became more complicated
and less easy to use quickly. Di­viding
the catalogue makes it
easier to Library users to locate
material and will relieve the con­gestion
around the catalogue.

This he hopes will get indepen­dents

about his office:

independents to run successfully
for Council seats.
"Student government in past
years has been at best just an­other

worst, an apprenticeship for

have inherited the leadership of
a council in the mood to act not

entire student body of the Col­lege."

This is the first of a series of three
articles concerned with the issue of the
University of Louisville becoming a state
supported school. The topic is now being
discussed by an eight-m.an committee head­ed
by Lisle Baker of the Courier-Journal
and composed of representatives of ULand

years enrollments in the state colleges
