Few students and even fewer
citizens of Louisville realize what
a magnificent treat is in store for
them next week at the Playhouse
on Belknap Campus. For the
Little Theater Company is put­ting
its final touches to the big­gest,
most expensive show they
have ever produced: "Julius
Caesar" by William Shakespeare.
"We've always wanted to do it
and we just got around to it,"
summed up director Boyd Martin.
And few people will argue the
fact that it takes no little amount
of get-up-and-go to organize such
an undertaking as this show has
proved itself to be.

Th e Louisville International
Center, coordinating orga\}ization
for the local Pan-American fete,
has invited U. of L. to exhibit a
float in the parade which opens
Pan-American week, April 14-21.
U. of L.'s float will be built by
the International Rela tions Club
whose members hope to aid Louis­ville
in duplicating last year's
winning of the National Award of
$500.
Fiesta Dance
The structure measures 80 by 160 feet with a small second floor
consisting of three or four small rooms. The main floor is divided into
two parts; the front section contains three reading rooms which are
to be converted, upon the arrival here, into ping pong and recreation
rooms. A third reading room will probably be left intact. The section
also contains a small kitchen and room for a soda fountain, two rest
rooms and ample space for a juke box and tables.
Opening off these quarters is a spacious auditorium containing a
stage and a hardwood floor. This will probably be used in connection
with the intramural program and for student dances.

Mr. Stamm has also reported
that negotiations are being made
to obtain a soda fountain and
other equipment and furniture for
the building from the U.S.O. The
purpose of the purchasing of the
building is to augment the facil­ities
"afforded by the Student
Center, which will remain in
operation but will be used mostly
as an eating place. Only soft
drinks will be sold in the new
building.
The location for the building
was selected after a great deal of
deliberation. Spots considered in­cluded
space near the gymnas­ium,
but it was feared that it
would interfere with the athletic
policy. The Zoning Commission
would not permit its being set up
between Howdy Walk and the
men's dormitories. Also consider­ed
was space near the Speed
Museum but, it was ruled out be­cause
of its distance from the
center of activities.
