UNIVERSITY BOAT RIDE The University Boat Ride, which was held up to this year, was one of the Spring Semester's big events for University of Louisville students. This excursion up the Ohio River was spon- sored by the University Stu- dent Senate with the Social Committee being in charge of the affair. The Boat Ride was held last year on April 23. The students were sere- naded by the music of Cliff Butler and his Band. The event will always be re- membered by those who participated in it. The couples enjoyed sitting on the deck in the cool spring air. The Steamship Avalon left the dock at Fourth Street and River Road to begin its journey upstream. The couples strolled around the decks looking at the moonlit water and chatting to each other as the boat paddled on. Dancing on the lower deck was one of the many pastimes aboard the Avalon. The music ranged from jazz to waltzes. 7
