THE CARDINAL as UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE’S OFFICIAL WEEKLY PUBLICATION VOL. xxiv THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1952 U-L BOND ISSUE ‘PASSES On November 12, 1952, the citizens of Louisville were asked to vote on a Bond issue which would give the University of Louisville four million dollars. The money derived would be spent for a new library, expansion of facilities for the Division of Adult Education, and renovation and rehabilitation of the present buildings on campus. The bonds were passed by 69.94% of the voters and thus was assured a future of development and progress for the University. Connie Darms, student campaigner, turns on her coed charm to gain a housewife vote. 1 student pollster hands out campaign literature. A vigorous campaign was carried on by all members and friends of the University. Alumni, administration, faculty, and students combined efforts to acquaint the voters with the Univer- sity’s needs. The student campaign was organized similar to a political party set-up with Mrs. Hortense Young, Fontaine Kremer, and Peggy Moll acting as the co-chairmen. ‘The city was divided into ward and precinct districts and a student placed in charge of each. Classes were dismissed for a full day preceding the election in order that a personal house to house contact might be made. On election day each poll was manned by a stu- dent distributing campaign literature. Every person working in the drive felt highly rewarded by the newspaper headlines announcing the pas- sage of the bonds. These student leaders, flanked by Mr. Strickler and Mr. Shively, headed the bond issue drive on the student level.

The sparkling basketball players were (above) Professors Bow- man, Shoemaker, Lawrence, Threlkeld, Terr, Wood, Kesselman, of the “Trembiing Teachers”, and (below) the “Fearless Faculty” composed of Professors Parrish, Heldman, Arnold, Taylor, Blackwell, Back, Smith, Stevenson. When Dr. Philip Davidson came to U. of L. in 1951, he said that he would like to have developed among the members of the University “‘a university family” atmosphere. The realization of this wish must, to a large extent, be accredited to the willing partici- pation of the faculty in many student spon- sored activities. An annual campus event is the Faculty Basketball Game sponsored by the Women’s League. The 1952 clash saw the “Trembling Teachers” triumph over the “Fearless Facul- ty” 16-12. And no one can forget the howling laugh- ter and enthusiastic applause that greeted the “Faculty Four” the night of the Barbershop and Beauty Shop Quartet Contest. Chaperoning dances, attending parties, and rooting at sports events are just a few of the other contributions made by the Faculty to our campus family life. Faculty Favorites Dean and Mrs. Lawrence join the fun in a square dance at Leadership Camp. “Faculty Four,’ composed of (lejt to right), Dr. Schlesinger, Dr. Hemdahl, Dr. Howe, and Dr. Furnish, bring tears with their rendition of “Poor Little Joe”. 20
