published in Washington D. C. by the Joint Committee on Slavic
Studies, presents a selection of articles from a number of Soviet

Student Groups Ask Vote Russ Seminar
On U-L Discrimination Being Readied
By Magidoffs
Independent Students, Newman Club,
Religious Council Want Referendum
Interested groups at the University of Louisville have agreed
to ask the University Student Council to have an all-University vote
among the student body to see whe ther they favor doing away with
discriminatory clauses in the constitutions of campus organizatiqns.
Coming out in favor of a refer­endum
to be tacked on to the U.
S.C. election next April 8.were the
Independent Women, three mem­bers
of the executive board of the
Free Lancers, the Newman Club,
the executive board of the Reli­gious
Council, and the President of
the Kentucky-Tennessee region
of the National Student Associa­tion.
The statement from the inde­pendent
men and women came at
a joint meeting held Wednesday
night in the Woman's Building.
Independent Women President,
Harriet Korphage said, "It should
interest everybody on campus.
You get the same question in the
social science classes. And it's the
democratic thing to do."
· The three members of the exe­cutive
board of the Free Lancers
said they couldn't talk for the
rest of their membership who
weren't there, but they themsel­ves
were in favor of the proposal.
Louis Hecht, President of the
Newman Club announced that his
membership had definitely placed
themselves behind the proposed
referendum.
Father Richard O'Hare, mo­derator
of the Newman Club,
said in a letter to The Cardinal:
"We, as Catholics, are commit­ted
to many principles, not the
least of which is the principle of
the equality of all men together
with the inherent dignity of man
himself.
"Because of this conviction, we
the members of the Newman Club
must stand against any and all
discrimination of our fellow men
wherever and however it raises
its ugly head.
"Unchristian Mode of Behavior"
"Restriction naturally s e t s
groups apart, and in effect, creates
circles within circles. It is a con­tributory
ingredient of unrest and
the lack of solidarity among us as
a nation. Besides, it is a most un­christian
mode of behavior."
Saul Loeb, President of the Uni­versity
Religious Council stated
that the executive board of the
Religious Council is definitely be­hind
the referendum proposal.
Tentative Plans-Made
For Six Campus, Meetings
A tentative program for a fac­ulty
seminar on Russia to be _con­ducted
by Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Magidoff was submitted to Dean
J. J. Oppenheimer last week by
Dr. Robert Warner and Mr. Al­bert
Boiter of the Social Science
department.
Dr. Warner and Mr. Boiter feel
that the presence of the Magi­doffs
provides an opportunity for
presenting information on Russia
to the faculty and to invited
community leaders, to the advan­tage
of the University.
Open To City Leaders
The seminar would be open to
approximately 30 faculty mem­bers
and selected community lead­ers,
for example members of the
staff of the Courier-Journal.. Pos­sibly
five advanced or graduate
students of special competence
and interest might also be in­vited
to attend on the basis of
work on Independent Studies.

All Meetings Are Open To The Public
Bob Delahanty, President of the
Kentucky-Tennessee region of the

directly behind the move. He
declared that the N.S.A. policies
are directly in accord with the re­solution.
At present the tentative plan
