Dr. W arnl~r Gets Lea·ve
To Aid South Florida U.
by Josie Zeman
Dr. Robert Warner of the Social
S c i e n c e Department has been
granted a year's leave of abs:ence
from the U ni versi ty of Louisville
in order to aid the new UniveTSity
of South Florida in its general ed­ucation
program. The leave will
begin Ju1y 1, 1960 and end July 1,
1961. Dr. Warner has been asked
to join the planning staff of Uni­versity
of South Florida bec:ause
of the work he has done he1re in
our minimum essential require­ments
program.
The new University will be lo­cated
outside of Tampa, on 1700
acres of cleared jungle land. "The
college will practically emerge
from the sandy wastes," said Dr.
Warner. "This is probably the first
time that a university has been a
completely new project, andl not
just a revision an existing institu­tion,"
he continued.
The courses which Dr. Warner
will organize will be for sopho­mores,
but since the Universilty is
only admitting freshmen this year,
he will accept exceptionally quali­fied
freshmen in his classes. '\1\Then
asked how he will conduct the
class, Dr. Warner replied, "The
only way to experiment with a
course is just to go ahead and
work it out with your students."
Our program of senior cotllege
courses such as Philosophy and
History of Science, Modern Cul­ture,
and Great Social Thinkers,
were influencial in the University
of South Florida's interest .in U
of L's college curriculum. '"Jrhese
courses are unique;" explained
Dr. Warner, "they emphasize the
broader implications of what a
student has learned."
The University of South Florida
will attempt to co-ordinate the
program of the Liberal Arts Col­lege
with the Schools of Bus1iness
and Education. ''It is both fright-ening
and challenging to start an
institution from the very begin­ning,
and I shall try to instigate a
good general education program
there," concluded' Dr. Worner.

Elects~ Plans
At the last Student Senate meet­ing
on Thursday, February 25,
Elise Atkinson and John Burckle
were elected to head the Leader­ship
Commission for the coming
year. They will have charge of
planning and holding the annual
Leadership Camp in the fall. Jerry
Neely was appointed to the posi­tion
of parliamentarian for the
coming semester.
Te Senate voted to leave the
detailed planning of the Boatride
up to the commission heads, Mary
K. Wong and Smith Morris, but
there will definitely be a Boat­ride
held this year. Last year the
Boatride was dropped in favor of
a big-name band dance in the
spring.
President Logsdon announced
that Dean Lawrence, Vice-Presi­dent
Strickler, Dean Huffman, and
Mr. Odewahn had met to draw up

Rent for Bigelow Hall: major
functions: $50.00; other functions:
$10.00-when admission is charged
and tables need to be set up; Uni­versity
functions: no charge.

The unreaso able and un­expected
fall of four inches of
snow led to the indefinite post­ponement
of the annual Bar­bershop
Quartet Contest and
considerably slowed down all
University functions.
News of the postponement
came from the University Stu­dent
Senate VVays and ~eans
Commission after it was learn­ed
that three members of one
of the quartets suffered frost­bite
of the tonsils while prac­ticing
in the inclement wea­ther.
The snow also caused
most of the other quartets to
don fur-lined tooth-coats for
practice sessions, at a loss of
tone and volume of their sing­ing.
Members of the Delta Upsilon
quartet reported severe snow­clogging
of their rendition of "Soft
Summer Breeze."
One unfortunate student had his
car snowed in alongside a park­ing
meter and ran up a bill of
$1,742.15 before the machine ex­ploded
in a shower of snow,
money, and slugs.
The Cardinal salutes the noble,
but vain efforts of the Speed
School janitor in clearing the
drifts from the halls and class­rooms
of Speed after an unsche­duled
intramural activity involv­ing
435 boys and four inches of
snow. This poor chap attempted
to withstand the onslaughts like
Horatio at the bridge.
The weather bureau predicts
more snow ending tonight, with a
high today in the low thirities.
Surprisingly enough, they had
forecast the snowfall and cold for
this nearly blizzard, but offered
no solution except spring.
Ohio Oil Gives For Univ. Development
The University of Louisville to­day
received a gift of $5,000 from
the Ohio Oil Company, whose
headquarters is in Findlay, Ohio.
The check was presented to the
University. Philip Davidson today
in the University Center Building
on Belknap Campus.
M. A. Newman, Marketing Sales
Manager of the Company, made
the presentation to Dr. Davidson.
Local Manager Paul Krouse was
also on hand for the presentation .
According to Dr. Davidson, the
gift of $5,000 is especially import­ant
because it was given to the
University in recognition of the
University's training of Company
employees. Four alumni of the Uni­versity
were on hand at the pres­entation.
They were Lee Thomp­son,
Anchorage, Kentucky, Hugh
Horrell, 7307 Arrowood Road, Jack
R. Meade, 360 North Birchwood,
Marvin Maddox, 807 Perennial
Avenue.
The University is seeking to
raise $2,489,585 as the first step
in a ten year $25,500,000 develop­ment
program. Of the funds
sought $1,489,585 is to be used for
construction of a Medical-Dental
Research Building and the first
phase of a cancer treatment cen­ter;
$500,000 for construction of a
physical education building; $250,-
000 for books; and $250,000 for
equipment.
PRESIDENT DAVIDSON accepts a $5,000 check from the Ohio Oil
Company in recognition of the University's training of company em­ployees.
