Goldwater Calls For Republican Unity,
Mocb NetV Frontier In Lincoln Speech
By Josie Zeman
Arizona Republican Senator Barry Goldwater,
in a s peech to the 47th Annual Banquet of the
Lincoln Club of Kentucky, urged Louisville Repub­li
·ans to set an example for the G.O.P. in other
states by carrying the local election here in the
fall .
Although the Republican party is "traditionally
one of strife", said Goldwater at the Februa,ry 11
Banquet held in the Brown Hotel's Crystal Ball­room,
''it will take unity to win in 1961 and 62 elec­tions
across the country.
Goldwater's address was preceded at the Ban­quet
by remarks from Kentucky U, S. Representa­tive
Eugene Siler, Kentucky U. ~.Senator JohnS,
Cooper, and Kentucky U, s. Senator Thruston B.
Morton, who is also Chairman of the Republican
National Committee.
The New Frontier of Democratic President
john F . Kennedy received a scathing review by
Goldwater. He called Secretary of Labor Arthur
Goldberg's report of depression conditions in
America "pushing the panic button", and
Schlesinger's statement that the welfare state is
the last hope a gains t Communi s m the words of
"a historian who doesn't understand history."
Chu.::kles greeted Coldwater' s de~cription
Secretary of Defense McNamara as "aNew Fron­tier
Scout who had to be called back" when he
discovered that "there is no missile gap,..
The Kennedy Administration must, Goldwater
asserted , either change the rules or change the
referees in attempting to pass its legi slative
measures. He called the enlargement of the House
Rules Committee "a grave mistake".
"Majority rule is not the best thing:" continued
Goldwater, "unless we keep in mind the minority
viewpoint, our government will result in a pure
democracy---rule by a howling mob:'
Goldwater called on Republicans to form a
s trong opposition party during the coming years.
''We may be outmanned, but we arc .• vt out­manuevered,"
he exclaimed.
Election gains at "the grassroots". said Gold­water,
·"have proved that the Republican party has
a mandate.'' Kennedy, Goldwater continued, will
have no mandate "unless he walks a narrow line." ·
Denouncing any government "which places it­self
above the national laws" as a government
which "will cause the destruction of our country",
Goldwater urged Republicans and jeffersonian
Democrats to " stop this thing by sending to Con-

along the Ohio River, by a crew of quarry workmen. Dr. James Conkin, Head of the Geol­ogy
Department at the University of Louisville, was informed of the discovery, and obo
tained the tusk for the Geology Department. He estimates the age of the tusk to be
between 8,000 and 100,000 years old. The rather indefinite age assumption is due, said
Dr. Conkin, to the fact that ••t do not have any way of determining the radio-carbon
date." However, Dr. Conkin added that even with the radio-carbon date, the age could
not be considered accurate because much of the carbon may have been worn away dur-ing
the centuries.

was made February 8th.
This will be Louisville's
third appearance in the N..
C.A.A. meet. The Card's
first invitation came in
1951. Louisville was de­feated
in the first round by
Kentucky 79-68. U. of L.
next appeared in 1959
when they went a II the way
to the fina Is. In the first
round, Louisville defeated
Eastern Kentucky 77-63.
Then came the weekend
that produced the greatest

athletic history. At Me

Cards Face Dayton Flyers
In Last Regular A way Game,
Then DePaul Plays Here
By Bob Kohn
Revenge--a powerful force in the world of sports-- will certainly
be a factor in N.C.A,A,-bound Louisville•s next two games. To­morrow
night, the Cardinals engage in their last regular away con­test
when they face the powerful flyers of Tommy Blackburn of Day­ton.
Next Wednesday, Louisville returns to Freedom Hall to meet the
DePaul Blue Demons at 8:30 p.m.
On January 21, the Cardinals
pinned a 63-50 loss on the Flyers
before a national television audi­ence.
Dayton will enter Saturday
night's game with a 14-6 record,
having polished off Duquesne
University at home Wednesday
night. A win overalreadytourney
bound Louisville would probably
send Blackburn and his men back
to the National Invitational
Tournament in New York, where
they have competed many times.
The game is a sellout, and can
be heard over WINN (1240).
Following the Saturday encoun­ter
in Dayton, Louisville returns
to Freedom Hall for the final
three games of the regular •60-
'61 season. After we play DePaul
on Wednesday, Marquette comes
in fo r a Saturday, February 25,
game and Western Kentucky clos­ing
the regular season with a
return meeting on March 1.
DePaul is, of course, paced by
their outstanding All-American
candidate. senior guard Howie
Carl. Teaming with Carl at the
guard posts is senior Haig; a
transfer from North Carolina
State.
The front line of the Demons
finds senior Jim Flemming and
sophomore M.C. Thompson at
the forwards, with soph Bill
Debes at the center. It was the
tremendous power and scoring
punch of this front line that led
to Louisville's downfall in Chi­cago.
DePaul warms up for the
Cardinals by playing second
ranked St. Bonaventure in Buf­falo,
where the Bonnies have not
lost in over one hundred games
and thirteen years.
