Expansion Project
Discussed At Camp
Leadership Qualification Speech
l(eynotes Annual Student Conclave
Continuing a well-established tradition, student leaders and
chaperones met at Camp Piomingo September 15 and 16 for the
annual Leadership Camp. Despite inclement weather, which fre­quently
interrupted the speeches, the students managed to orient
themselves for the coming school year.
To kick-off the two-day meeting
Vice-President Woodrow Strick­ler
spoke on the qualifications
of leadership. Briefly he stressed
the importance of enthusiasm,
dependability, and farsightedness
as prerequisites for a successful
leader. The main thought laid
before the student leaders in the
keynote address was that if lead­ership
fails .the school fails for
this coming year and many years
to come.
•Following Mr. Strickler, Dr.
George Brodschi spoke on the im­portance
of the International Re­lations
Center. He again urged
that more students try to parti­cipate
in the international sum­mer
work program.
Editors
Margaret Fife and Betty Cain,
Editors-in-Chief of the Thorough­bred
and Cardinal announced
their respective staffs and policies
for the coming year. Margaret
also announced that the Thor­oughbred
Dance would be held
on November 30 at the Henry
Clay Hotel. Pan Hellenic pres­ident,
Patti Rinehart, reported
on the success of fall rush, in
which 61 out of 72 girls pledged.
The new USS commission heads
gave brief reports and tentative
plans for the coming year. The
big discussion on these reports
came over the advisability of
having the Homecoming Dance
at the new Fair Grounds Colos­seum.
This discussion was car­ried
over to Sunday morning. No
plans have yet been formulated
for Barbershop or Fryberger
Sing. There are, however, tenta­tive
ideas for an All-University
Carnival Day, ending with a boat
ride in the evening.
Mr. Dave Lawrence, Dean of
Men, and Miss Doris Nickel, Act­ing
Dean of Women, gave a
quick review of social regula­tions,
with special stress on the
correct methods of signing up a
social function.
After an hour of leisure and
supper, the group again assembl­ed
to hear Dr. Philip Davidsony
U of L President, discuss the
plans for expansion of the uni­versity.

The details of the new Stu­dent
Union Building and DAE

date of completion is the
