Homecoming 1970:
Cardinals meet Tulsa
By CAROLYN YETTER
Cardinal Campus Editor
A float parade down First Street and
a bonfire pep rally kicked off Homecom-ing
1970 last night.
Today at noon Homecoming activities
continue with a jam session on the north
side of the UC Building. Later this eve-ning,
at 6 p.m., there will be a reunion
dinner for the undefeated UL football
team of 1947. That team was the only
undefeated team in UL football history.
The highlight of the evening will be a
concert in Freedom Hall at 8:30 p.m. fea-turing
Sergio Mendes and Brasil ’66.
Tickets for the concert are available at
the UL Ticket Office, L. S. Ayres, and
the Freedom Hall Box Office.
Appearing on the bill with Sergio Men-des
are Don Sherman, a young satirical
comedian, and Casey Anderson, a folk
and western singer.
A full schedule of alumni activities fills
Saturday morning, including an alumni-parents
social hour in the Main Lounge
at 9 a.m., and an alumni-parents lunch-eon
at noon in the north concourse at
Fairgrounds Stadium.
At 2 p.m. tomorrow the UL Cardinals
take on the Tulsa Golden Hurricans at
Fairgrounds Stadium. The 1970 Home-coming
Queen will be crowned at half-time,
and members of the 1947 football
team will be introduced. Students with
ID’s may enter the game free, and guest
tickets will be sold for $1 on the basis
of one guest ticket per student ID.
Following the football game, frater-nities
and dormitories will stage open
houses and reception.
The annual Homecoming Dance, begin-ning
at 9 p.m. tomorrow evening at Free-dom
Hall and featuring The Ides of
March, will wind up this year’s Homecom-ing
activities. Soul Soup will provide
backup music at the dance.
Presentation of awards for the best
floats will be made during the dance.

Budget cut reduces
Sunday library hours
By HAL SANDERS
Cardinal Managing Editor
The University of Louisville Library
has eliminated library service on a trial
basis from 6 to 11 p.m. on Sunday eve-nings
as part of this year’s general budget
cut.
According to Edith Knepper, interim
director of libraries, the objective is “to
try to keep expenditures within reason-able
limits and provide good library serv-ice
for the hours we are open.”
With the weekly allotment of working'
hours for student assistants cut by 35
hours, the only way to avoid slow and
inefficient service was to keep the staff
at full strength and reduce the hours of
operation.
The following factors necessitated the
reduction:
Weekends and evening hours are
covered mostly by part-time students.
This year’s budget is unchanged
from last year, but the addition of the
Life Sciences and Kentucky Southern Li-braries
resulted in extra financial strain.
v 0 Pay for student assistants will rise
from $1.45 to $1.60 per hour next Feb-ruary.
Under the new schedule, UL’s Library
will be open 81 hours per week instead
of 86 like last year; the Southern Asso-ciation
of Colleges and Secondary Schools
requires a minimum library operation of
80 hours per week.
The Sunday evening schedule curtail-ment
represents the public service or cir-culation
aspect of library work; non-pub-lic
service such as cataloguing and new
book acquisition has been cut twice as
much, with a reduction in capital outlay
from $225,000 to $176,000.
Saturday slack
The reduction in allotted student work-ing
hours for the non-public sector is 2100
hours per year; for the public sector 1190
hours.
A minimum of seven students usually
works at any one time—one in the refer-ence
room, three at the circulation desk,
and one each in the Art, Life Sciences,
and Natural Sciences Libraries. There-fore,
the five hour Sunday reduction
equals a 35-working hour cut in the pay-roll.
The decision to end the Sunday evening
hours was made by Miss Knepper, former
Library Director Dr. Wayne Yenowine,
and Dr. William Ekstrom, UL vice-presi-dent
for academic affairs.
The only other slack period is Saturday
morning. However, since many Univer-sity
College students need to use the li-brary
then, the decision was made to cut
Sunday night hours.
The new schedule is strictly experi-mental;
the library staff will solicit com-/
ments from students and faculty on the
Library’s effectiveness. The Library Com-mittee
of the Student Senate will study
undergraduate reaction to the schedule
change.
Miss Knepper emphasized that the UL
Library is still in healthy shape with
service at a high level, and the library
may be able to restore some of the lost
service if projected expenses in other
areas do not materialize.
