Allies joining forces can prove to be a pretty good idea for everyone. We at the Cardinal hope this is the case as we join with University of Louisville's own WLCV radio to bring students, faculty and staff two weekly radio shows to listen to, respond to and hopefully get enlightened by.
Demetrius and Rudy met Muhammad Ali, Ashley Judd, Evander Holyfield, Larry King, Governor Steve Beshear, Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao in less than 48 hours.

On Jan. 20, University of Louisville students gathered in the Red Barn to watch the presidential inauguration. Something else united them, the fight for higher education.
At the entry of the Red Barn, letters were available for people to sign that will be given to Kentucky legislators.
It's safe to say that Cardinal fans are more satisfied with the competitive results in U of L sports right now than they were around this time two months ago, when the football team was in the middle of a five-game losing streak to end the season 5-7.
We were disheartened by the lack of insight a real social problem illustrated by the editorial in the January 20, 2009 issue of the Cardinal entitled "Celebrate today how far we've come".
