Indiana Central to Seek 

Top High School Seniors 

Indiana Central College has an- 

nounced plans for a program which 

would invite superior Indianapolis 

area high school seniors to take a 

course at the college as a form of 

“educational stimulation.” 

Although the college-credit pro- 

gram would be open to seniors from 

all city high schools, it could be ex- 

pected to draw mostly from Short- 

ridge High School because of the high- 

standard academic curriculum the 

school assumes in the fall, ICC offi- 

cials said. 

ICC President Esch said the crea- 

tion of an all-city college prepara- 

tory program at Shortridge stimulated 

the proposal. 

Harry A. McGuff, president of the 

Indianapolis Board of School Com- 

missioners and head of the ICC 

Evening Division, said an informal 

poll of School Board members dis- 

closed approval of such a program. 

No formal action would be taken by 

the board, however, until complete 

details of the program, such as quali- 

fications, schedules and fees are ar- 

ranged, McGuff said. 

“This could not start before the 

fall of 1967, and probably not even 

then, because of the great amount of 

planning needed,” Dr. Esch pointed 

out. 

Dr. Esch said the pupils, probably 

100 to 200 a semester, would have to 

pay their expenses, approximately 

$85 a course. However, a partial 

scholarship arrangement will be dis- 

cussed in the planning, he added. 

The high school pupils could attend 

classes with college freshmen, or be 

enrolled in several groups of excep- 

tional seniors. This would depend on 

the schedule worked out, Dr. Esch 

continued. 

The seniors would attend classes on 

the college campus. “This has the 

two-fold advantage of providing the 

campus atmosphere, intellectual and 

social, and making college facilities, 

such as the library, available,” Dr. 

Esch said. The pupils would get 

credit and perhaps have a semester of 

college attendance later, he noted. 

He added that this type of program 

has an advantage over programs in 

which superior pupils enter college 

full-time after the junior year of 

high school. 

Too often, he said, the senior year 

for the bright pupil is boring and 

little more than a repetition of ma- 

terial from the first three years. 

This new way, they would get the 

college experience and still do not 

miss the important adventures every 

high school pupil looks forward to as 

a senior, Dr. Esch said. 

George F. Ostheimer, superintend- 

ent of city schools, said the college 

would set the requirements for attend- 

ance, as well as fees and schedules. 

Thought Provoking Drama 

Given 

On three nights, March 10, 11, and 

12, an unusual thought provokihg 

drama was presented in Ransburg 

Auditorium. The best criticism can be 

given by quoting the column from 

Charles Staff, the theater critic of 

the INDIANAPOLIS NEWS, written 

after the first performance: 

“Theater, like love and gold, is 

where you find it. 

“Tonight and tomorrow evening, it 

can be found at Indiana Central with 

Professor Lawrence Fisher’s produc- 

tion of Samuel Beckett’s startling 

“Waiting for Godot,” which opened 

in Ransburg Auditorium last night. 

“The two-act “tragi-comedy” is one 

of the most discussed and least un- 

derstood plays of the last decade or 

so. Like a complex abstract painting 

or a piece of music by Pierre Boulez, 

one cannot hope to get it all the first 

time around. 

“While Beckett undoubtedly plant- 

ed concrete ideas and concepts in 

every word, action and reaction, the 

play, nevertheless, can engage the 

viewer on whatever level he chooses, 

or not at all. The over-all theme, 

however, appears to be man’s un- 

happy but ridiculous state. He waits, 

filling up the hours with trivia, unable 

to get too close to the others around 

him who are also waiting, all the 

while vaguely clinging to a hope that 

the answer will come, if, indeed, there 

is one. 

“Fisher’s black-and-white set, sense 

of movement, cinematic character 

touches, feel for the fantastic and the 

handling of his students are brilliant. 

“Except for a certain stridency in 

delivery and forced quality in pacing, 

only occasionally, the four young 

men, Lynn Kinkade, James Ellars, 

Jack Caster and Thomas Tozer, per- 

form as if they not only understood 

precisely what their director wanted 

but also exactly what Beckett meant. 

A talented youngster, Gary Burris, 

rounds out the cast.’’ 

1935 Alumnus 

Commencement Speaker 

Wayne E. Babler, a 1935 alumnus 

of Indiana Central, will be the speaker 

for the sixty-first annual commence- 

ment June 5. Mr. Babler, a University 

of Michigan Law School graduate, 

1938, attended Otterbein College one 

year before coming to Indiana Central 

in 1933. While attending the Univer- 

sity of Michigan he was a member of 

the Order of the Coif and editor of the 

Michigan Law Review. After several 

years of private practice and teaching 

of law, he joined the legal staff of 

American Telephone and Telegraph 

Company, New York City, where he 

worked principally on the first 

Federal Communication cases relating 

to the development of television. In 

1955 he was appointed General Solici- 

tor of Southwestern Bell Telephone 

Company, in 1963 was elected Vice 

President and General Counselor of 

Wisconsin Telephone Company, Mil- 

waukee, Wis., and in 1955 was elected 

Vice President and General Counselor 

of Southwestern Bell Telephone Com- 

pany in St. Louis, a position which 

he now holds. 

He is a member of Missouri, Michi- 

gan, New York and Wisconsin Bars, 

a member of the Board of Directors 

of St. Louis Society for Crippled 

Children and a member of St. Peters 

Episcopal Church. Wayne’s wife is the

College Science Honorary 

National Meeting Held 

Sigma Zeta, national science hono- 

rary fraternity, hed its annual na- 

tional convention at Indiana Central 

College Thursday through Saturday, 

March 31-April 2. 

Delegates and chapter sponsors had 

a social gathering Thursday night 

after registering. During the conven- 

tion several students presented scien- 

tific papers. 

The opening session Friday includ- 

ed a business meeting, and in the 

afternoon the young scientists visited 

Allison’s Powerama. Dr. Robert Kry- 

ter, Indianapolis chemical engineer, 

was the main speaker at the banquet 

Friday evening. His subject was “The 

Challenge of the Space Age.” 

The convention ended after another 

business session and the presentation 

of student papers Saturday morning. 

Richard Rodebaugh is president of 

Indiana Central’s chapter of Sigma 

Zeta, and Dr. Robert M. Brooker, 

chairman of the division of Science 

and Mathematics, is sponsor. 

The papers presented by ICC 

students included “Spectro-chemical 

Consideration of the Principle of Con- 

tinuity of States,” by Rodebaugh; 

“The Albino Factor in Mice,” by Judy 

M. Nicholson; and “The Function of a 

Siphon in a Vacuum,” by Susan Mer- 

rick. All three Indiana Central stu- 

dents are Indianapolis seniors.

Angus Nicoson Elected 

President 

Angus Nicoson, director of athletics 

and head basketball coach at Indiana 

Central College, was elected president 

of the National Association of Inter- 

collegiate Athletics at its business 

meeting in Kansas City March 11. 

He had just completed a year as 

first vice president and has been a 

member of the NAIA executive com- 

mittee for several years. 

As a student at Indiana Central, 

“Nick” became one of its great ath- 

letes of all time. Five years after his 

graduation in 1942 

he returned to his 

aha mater as bas- 

ketball coach and 

again made an en- 

viable record 

At Central he 

earned a bachelor 

of science degree 

in physical educa- 

tion and social 

studies after com- 

pling a fabulous college athletic ecord. 

He was named to the all-state basket- 

ball team one year and the all-con- 

ference team two years. In his senior 

year he captained the Greyhound bas- 

ketball team which won 16 consec- 

utive games and was ranked fifth in 

the Midwest and ninth in the United 

States. That same year he was cap- 

tain of the baseball team also. 

Upon graduation from Indiana 

Central he became basketball coach 

and athletic director at suburban 

Franklin Central High School. His 

cagers won 98 games and lost 28 for 

a .766 average. The school, then 

known as Franklin Township, won the 

1945-46 and 1946-47 Marion County 

championships, and it was Capital 

District champion in 1944-45, 1945-46 

and 1946-47. 

In the fall of 1947 he returned to 

Indiana Central as basketball coach 

and physical education instructor. 

Two years later he became director 

of athletics as well. He still is head 

hardwood and track coach and athletic 

director, and associate professor of 

physical education and chairman of 

the Department of Health and Phys- 

ical Education. 

Nick’s Greyhound coaching record 

at the end of the 1965-66 basketball 

season (not counting the team’s elim- 

ination in the NAIA tourney at 

Kansas City March 8) was 331 games 

won and 162 lost for a percentage of 

673. 

Nicoson’s Greyhounds have been in 

12 District 21 playoffs for the right to 

represent Indiana in the NAIA 

national tournament, and they ad- 

vanced to the championship meet at 

Kansas City four of those seasons. 

His basketball teams have won the 

Hoosier College Conference title seven 

times and placed second eight times 

since the league was formed in 1947- 

48. Central’s athletes, under Nick’s 

tenure, won the HCC all-sports trophy 

eight years, placed second six other 

times, and never finished lower than 

third place. 

In his early years of coaching at 

Indiana Central Nicoson also directed 

football teams which won the confer- 

ence championship twice. The base- 

ball team has earned six HCC titles 

under Nick’s athletic directorship. 

Many honors have come to Nick. 

They include his selection for 14 con- 

secutive years to coach the Indiana 

High School All-stars who play a 

similar Kentucky team each June in a 

basketball charity series. He has been 

voted Hoosier Conference basketball 

coach of the year seven times, and 

he was the first person to be honored 

as coach of the year by NAIA District 

21, in 1963-64. 

Master’s Program Ready 

The curriculum for the master’s de- 

gree program is now ready and wait- 

ing for approval by the North Central 

Association of Colleges and Secondary 

Schools. Though inspectors from the 

Association will be on the campus 

sometime during the month of May, 

it is not expected that this accrediting 

agency will meet before August 1. 

Even then some changes may be made 

in the curriculum. 

This is a master’s degree program 

designed primarily to meet the needs 

of students seeking to fulfill the re- 

quirements for permanent profession- 

al certification in the state of Indiana 

on the elementary level. As it is now 

planned, it is designed for the needs 

of classroom teachers. 

A sheet giving full information is 

being sent to all ICC alumni holding 

a bachelor’s degree and living within 

a radius of 50 miles of Indianapolis. 

Any one desiring further informa- 

tion, either within or without the 

radius of 50 miles, should write to:

Special Training Program 

For Professional Youth 

Leaders To Be Inaugurated 

A new program designed to train 

young people for professional youth 

. . 

leadership wiil be 

inaugurated at In- 

diana Central Col- 

lege this fall in co- 

operation with the 

American Hunian- 

ics Foundation. 

Indiana Central 

is the fourth col- 

lege in the United 

States and the first 

in a metropolis to 

be selected by the foundation to offer 

such a program. The others are Mis- 

souri Valley College, Marshall, Mis- 

souri; Salem College, Salem, West 

Virginia; and High Point College, 

High Point, North Carolina. 

Young people selected to enroll in 

the program will take basic courses 

in liberal arts, sociology and psychol- 

ogy and also receive special training 

in such areas as social work, adminis- 

tration of social agencies, group dy- 

namics, inter-group relations, commu- 

nity welfare organizations, financing 

social agencies, institutional relation- 

ships, child and adolescent develop- 

ment, social group work theory and 

practice, field methods and statistics, 

public relations, recreational and 

camp leadership, rural and urban so- 

ciology, and social psychology. 

Graduates of the foundation’s pro- 

gram already are serving as profes- 

sional staff personnel in Boy and Girl 

Scouts, YMCA, YMHA, YWCA, Boys’ 

Clubs, Camp Fire Girls, Junior 

Achievement, 4H, probation work, cor- 

rective institutions, rehabilitation, 

children’s hospitals, church youth 

camps, and public park recreation. 

The foundation supplies faculty and 

underwrites an accompanying pro- 

gram of field trips and professional 

relationships. It also gives loan fund 

assistance to upper classmen who 

cannot complete college without such 

help. The four-year program leads to 

a bachelor of arts degree. Dr. Robert 

E. Cramer, academic dean of Indiana 

Central College, said in commenting 

on the establishment of the new hu- 

manics program: 

“The program of the American Hu- 

manics Foundation fulfills an impor- 

tant need in our society. We need 

professionally trained, ethically sen- 

sitive, and socially dedicated young 

men and women to assume roles of 

leadership in the various voluntary 

youth organizations of America. The 

course of study for this program is 

excellent. It calls for a liberal arts 

core as well as a major in human re- 

lations. We feel honored that Indiana 

Central has been selected as one of 

the few schools to offer this course.” 

Professor Ross Ludwig has been ap- 

pointed to direct the program and 

joined the Indiana Central faculty on 

April 1. He holds a bachelor of arts 

degree in health and physical educa- 

tion and a master of arts degree in 

education administration, both from 

West Virginia University. He will di- 

rect preparation for starting this new 

program in September. Since 1931 

Ludwig has been working with youth 

in various ways, as high school teach- 

er and coach, as juvenile probation 

officer and as Boy Scout director for 

19 years. During World War I1 he 

spent four years in the Army, being 

discharged as a lieutenant colonel. 

Taken From Indianapolis 

Goodwill News 

“Miss Mary Ellen Grace exempli- 

fies the spirit of workers who re- 

habilitate themselves at Goodwill 

with the facilities provided by the 

public . . . people who ask, ‘not 

charity, but a change.’ Miss Grace 

supervises the material collection de- 

partment where you often hear her 

friendly voice when you telephone for 

a Goodwill truck. 

“You don’t cry today . . , tomorrow 

. . . or ever . . . because you have 

been sentenced to a life in a wheel 

chair. You enjoy the good things and 

count the blessings they bring you. 

“Miss Grace has been selected as 

Indianapolis Goodwill Worker of the 

Year for 1966. It is an honor bestowed 

on that person who has done the most 

to overcome his (or her) handicap on 

his own. 

“She had completed two years of 

teacher training at Indiana Central 

College, (from which she graduated in 

1937), was on a regular job at Indi- 

ana Bell Telephone Company, when 

-in 1944-she was stricken with 

polio. 

“She came to Goudwill on her own 

and said she was willing to take any 

kind of job assignment. . . 

“Through various jobs, although 

handicapped herself, from her wheel 

chair she trains other people for a 

useful life.”

Honorary Degrees Given 

To Four 

One Doctor of Humanities degree 

and three Doctor of Divinity degrees 

will be given at commencement 

exercises June 5. 

Dr. Cleo W. Blackburn will receive 

the Doctor of Humanities degree. 

Born in Mississippi, he has spent 

most of his life in Indianapolis, where 

he has worked tirelessly for the bet- 

terment of the disadvantaged, not 

only of Indianapolis but of the 

nation. Through his tireless efforts, 

Flanner House Homes, Inc., a non- 

profit corporation, was formed for 

the purpose of helping people build 

their own homes at lower cost. 

Believing that education is one of 

the most important factors in a 

person’s upgrading himself, the Board 

for Fundamental Education, under 

Dr. Blackburn’s direction, has pio- 

neered with techniques for teaching 

adults the basic communications 

quickly and inexpensively. 

Dr. Blackburn obtained his A.B. 

degree from Butler University in 1932 

and his M.A. degree from Fisk Uni- 

versity in 1936. 

National attention has been called 

to Dr. Blackburn’s work through 

articles that have appeared in 

SURVEY GRAPHIC, READER’S 

DIGEST, CORONET, FORTUNE and 

CHRISTIAN HERALD. 

Dr. Blackburn was president of 

Jarvis Christian College, Hawkins, 

Texas, from 1953 to 1964, when that 

position was abolished through the 

affiliation with Texas Christian Uni- 

versity. 

Dr. Blackburn, whose wife, Fannie 

Scott Blackburn, passed away in 

November 1965, makes his home at 

4032 Rockwood Avenue, Indianapolis. 

The Reverend Virgil J. Hague, ICC 

1933, Bonebrake Theological Semi- 

nary, 1936, with B.D. Degree, will 

receive the Doctor of Divinity Degree. 

While most of his servce has been 

given to the ministry, during the early 

forties he spent some time as field 

man for Indiana Central and was later 

Vice President and Business Manager 

of York College, York, Nebraska. 

After 15 years of service to the True- 

blood Memorial Church of Decatur, 

Illinois, he has been since 1964 pastor 

of Robinson First Church, Robinson, 

Illinois. 

Virgil has served and is serving as 

chairman and member of church and 

civic committees too numerous to 

write in the space allowed. 

He is married to the former Rose- 

mary Dehus, x38, Otterbein College. 

They have one son, James C., Film 

Director of CBS, Rockford, Ill., and 

one daughter, Joylyn F. Hague Tozer 

’65, now teaching in Junior High 

School, Carmel, Indiana. 

The Reverend David C. Hancock, 

ICC ’38; D.B., United Theological 

Seminary, ’41, has taken short term 

courses at Purdue University, Yale 

University, and the Institute of Ad- 

vanced Pastoral Studies of Reuel

College Raises Fees for 

Room and Board 

Indiana Central College has an- 

nounced an increase of $25 a semester 

for room and board, effective next 

September, but added that tuition 

would remain unchanged. 

The room charge was increased 

from $125 to $135 and the board cost 

from $200. to $215 for a combined 

total of $350 a semester or $700 for a 

year. Tuition remains at $500 a 

semester or $1,000 a year. 

The tuition covers 12 to 17 hours of 

credit, most course fees, health serv- 

ices, health and accident insurance, 

and other miscellaneous items. 

Leo S. Miller, business manager, 

who announced the new rate schedule, 

said the cost of attending Indiana 

Central was “still quite modest when 

compared with other colleges and 

universities around the state.” 

Miller added that the college would 

be able to expand its student aid 

program next fall. 

78 IC Students in Supervised 

Teaching 

Seventy-eight Indiana Central Col- 

lege seniors are engaged in supervised 

teaching in Indianapolis and nearby

An Evening With 

Edward Albee 

The finale of the 11th annual Fine 

Arts Festival led the audience into 

the theater April 2, 1966 at Indiana 

Central College. An Evening with Ed- 

ward Albee perhaps can best be de- 

scribed in the author’s words as “the 

unusual, the unlikely, and the un- 

expected.” 

The first three one-act plays of 

Albee were presented by the Indiana 

Central Players. An evening of stir- 

ring educational theater, “The Zoo 

Story,” “The Death of Bessie Smith,” 

and “The Sandbox” proved to be an 

excellent climax to the week’s activ- 

ity on Central’s campus. The combi- 

nation of these three plays is an edu- 

cation in itself. Although they are not 

directly related there is much conti- 

nuity from one to the other. Because 

they are about life and death and the 

human situation in between, they 

treat the same general theme. Further 

continuity is Albee’s experimental 

technique. 

In “The Zoo Story,” for instance, 

he abstracts the element of communi- 

cation and the middle class compla- 

cency which he sees as a wall to the 

sensitive person who tries to under- 

stand and be understood. “The Death 

of Bessie Smith,” although centering 

on a severe racial problem and a study 

of racial attitudes, is even more ex- 

citing as a technique of trying to see 

how much exposition can be obtained 

by implication. Through eight rapid 

scenes, the audience concentrates on 

a character that never makes an ap- 

pearance on stage. 

A totally abstracted approach to 

theater is seen in “The Sandbox.” It 

is an attempt on the part of the play- 

wright to shock an audience into a 

brief study of a prevalent attitude 

toward the proper way of death. The 

last of the three dramas is a brief, 

14-minute play in memory of his 

grandmother. 

“The Zoo Story” featured Joseph D. 

Huse as Jerry and Jack L. Caster as 

Peter. Cast in “The Death of Bessie 

Smith” were Robert Coleman as Ber- 

nie, Thomas Tozer as Jack, Dixie 

Evans as a nurse, Lynn Kinkade as 

an orderly, Barbara Bean, a second 

nurse, and Thomas Williams as an in- 

tern. 

A cast of five-Huse as the Young 

Man, Sue Merrick as Mommy, James 

Williamson as Daddy, Sharon Bitzer 

as Grandma and Alice French as the 

Musician, appeared in “The Sandbox.” 

Directed by Lawrence F. Fisher, An 

Evening with Edward Albee was pre- 

sented at 8:30 p.m. in Ransburg Audi- 

torium. Mr. Fisher is associate pro- 

fessor of drama and speech at ICC. 

Evening Division Has 

Enrollment Hike in 

Spring Semester 

Harry McGuff, director of the 

Evening Division at Indiana Central 

College, has announced that 1242 stu- 

dents are enrolled for classes in the 

spring semester. 

The largest single area of enroll- 

ment is business and economics, with 

an increase of 10 percent over the 

spring of 1965. Science and mathe- 

matics, now the second largest area 

of study, gained by a phenominal 30 

per cent. Third on the list is held by 

the area of English language and lit- 

erature. McGuff said the increase in 

enrollment stems largely from the 

greater emphasis being placed on edu- 

cation by the business community. 

Larger high school graduating class- 

es, increased interest in adult educa- 

tion plus new and expanded facilities 

at Indiana Central have also contri- 

buted to the gain in enrollment. 

The most stimulating factor, how- 

ever, may well be the practice of vari- 

ous business firms of providing a tui- 

tion refund program for their em- 

ployees, McGuff stated. When a course 

is completed successfully the em- 

ployee is reimbursed for all or a por- 

tion of the tuition fee. 

Said McGuff: “Such programs 

serve not only to strengthen the em- 

ployee, but also to provide the com- 

pany with a more qualified work 

force. This is a good indication of the 

value of education as a measure of 

success.” 

Davis Goes to Ohio State 

Department of Education 

Chester L. Davis, class of 1947, has 

been since 1954 in the Audio-visual 

Education Division at Miami Univer- 

sity, Oxford, Ohio. 

On April 1, 1966 he became Educa- 

tional Consultant in the Division of 

Instructional Materials with the 

State Department of Education, state 

of Ohio. 

The family will be moving from 

Oxford to Columbus, Ohio about July 

1, 1966.

Four to Receive Honorary 

Degrees at Indiana Central 

Building Dedication 

Four honorary degrees will be con- 

ferred at the dedication of the new 

Louis Schwitzer Center at Indiana 

Central College on Saturday, April 

30. 

The ceremony will be held in Rans- 

burg Auditorium of Academic Hall at 

2 p.m., after an invitational luncheon 

in the spacious main dining room of 

the new building, which will be the 

center of much of the non-academic 

activities of students. 

Louis Schwitzer (pronounciation: 

short i as in Switzerland), Indianap- 

olis industrialist whose generosity 

made the Center possible, will be 

honored with a doctor of laws degree. 

A retired veteran of the Indiana 

Central faculty, Miss Virginia Cra- 

vens, will receive a doctor of humani- 

ties degree. Doctor of laws degrees 

will be conferred also upon a historian 

and teacher, Dr. Donald F. Carmony, 

and an Indianapolis lawyer, Harry T. 

Ice. 

Four students will voice the appre- 

ciation of their associates instead of 

having a visiting speaker for the 

occasion. They are Stephen Maple of 

Speedway, retiring president of the 

Central Council, the student govern- 

ment of the campus; Mrs. Marydee 

Meyer West, formerly of Corydon but 

now of Indianapolis; Miss Michelle 

(Mickey) Stoneburner of Indianapolis; 

and sophomore Gregory Michael of 

Hartford City. Dr. I. Lynd Esch, pres- 

ident of the college will preside and 

offer the invocation. The college’s 

Concert Choir will sing, and Miss D. 

Colleen Johnson, assistant professor 

of music, will be at the organ console. 

Dr. L. L. Huffman of Dayton, Ohio, 

chairman of the board of trustees of 

the college, will conduct the ritual of 

dedication, and the dedicatory prayer 

will be spoken by Dr. Robert W. 

Koenig of Terre Haute, an Evangel- 

ical United Brethren Church confer- 

ence superintendent. Dr. Koenig is a 

former minister of the University 

Heights EUB Church, and on July 1 

he will become executive secretary of 

the Church Federation of Greater 

Indianapolis. 

After the benediction by Dr. Robert 

E. Cramer, academic dean of the 

college, there will be an open house 

and reception in the new $1,250,000 

center, with tours for visitors. 

Mr. Schwitzer, whose name the 

Center will perpetuate, founded the 

Schwitzer Corporation, which manu- 

factures precision products for the 

automotive industry, after World War 

I. He came to the United States from 

his native Austria before the war, in 

which he served on the engineering 

staff of the Motor Transport Corpora- 

tion. 

As a young man Schwitzer was in- 

terested in automobile and motorboat 

racing. He participated in the first 

500-mile race at Indianapolis Motor 

Speedway in 1911, as well as earlier 

and shorter contests on the then new 

track. He became a member of the 

Speedway’s technical committee in 

1912 and was its chairman from 1919 

to 1945. 

Schwitzer pioneered the super- 

charging of internal combustion en- 

gines and was responsible for many 

developments in turbocharging. His 

interest in the fine arts was shown 

by his being a eo-founder of the Indi- 

anapolis Symphonic Choir and a pa- 

tron and a member of the board of the 

Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. 

While the exact amount of Mr. 

Schwitzer’s gift to Indiana Central 

never has been announced, it was 

stated that it was the largest single 

contribution ever made to the college. 

Miss Cravens, now a professor 

emeritus, was dean of women and 

assistant professor of (English from 

1927 to 1949. Before that she had 

taught in schools in Washington 

County, Bloomfield, Orleans and De- 

catur, and was high school principal 

at Redkey and Hardinsburg. She 

earned a Phi Beta Kappa key and a 

bachelor of arts degree at DePauw 

University in 1910 and a master of 

arts at Indiana University in 1938. 

Upon her retirement from teaching 

and administrative duties 17 years 

ago she was elected executive sec- 

retary of the Alumni Association, a 

position she still fills. 

Dr. Carmony has been a member of 

the faculty of Indiana University 

since 1939. At present he is professor 

of history and editor of the Indiana 

University Magazine of History. He 

also is chairman of the Indiana Ses- 

quicentennial Commission, and is 

writing a book, “Indiana in the 

Pioneer Era,” the third volume in a 

series commemorating the state’s 

150th birthday this year. 

Carmony received his bachelor of 

arts at Indiana Central College in 

1929 and his master of arts and 

doctor of philosophy degrees from In- 

diana University in 1931 and 1942, 

respectively. 

He taught history at Indiana Cen- 

tral from 1929 to 1939. He is the 

author of other historical works and 

eo-author of a two-volume history of 

Indiana. 

He is a member of the American 

and Mississippi Valley Historical 

Associations and a past president of 

the Indiana History Teachers Asso- 

ciation and the Indiana Association 

for Adult Education.

law firm of Ice, Miller, Donadio and 

Ryan since 1934. He received a bache- 

lor of arts degree from Butler Uni- 

versity in 1926 and a bachelor of 

laws degree from Harvard University 

in 1929.

Address Style Changing 

In preparation for the use of auto- 

mated mail sorting equipment, the 

Post Office Department has prepared 

a standardized two-letter state abbre- 

viation for use by mailers. Since much 

of our alumni mail goes out in bulk, 

we have started to convert our ad- 

dressing to the new state abbrevia- 

tions. Some alumni will note that 

their addresses have been changed 

and others will soon note the differ- 

ence. This may help to explain why 

some state name abbreviations look 

incomplete.

Emery to Speak to Alumni 

Dr. Donald G. Emery will be the 

speaker for the Alumni Convocation

Appreciation 

I want to express my sincere appre- 

ciation to all alumni who have an- 

swered the Roll Call. Your putting 

some of your treasure into ICC shows 

that you are also putting your heart 

into it. I know of no place more 

worthy of both. Every dollar that you 

contribute to Roll Call will be used 

for the improvement of faculty sal- 

aries. The improvement of faculty 

salaries should keep pace with the 

improvement of the physical plant, 

which every alumnus must be proud 

of. Thank you sincerely.

Textile Exhibit in Art 

Gallery 

An exhibition of textiles opened in 

the art gallery of the Leah Ransburg 

Fine Arts Center at Indiana Central 

College February 7 and continued 

through February 25. The pieces were 

the work of Terry Illes and Budd 

Stalnaker of Bloomington. 

Both caftsmen have national repu- 

tations as outstanding weavers, hav- 

ing won awards consistently. In ad- 

dition to the more conventional and 

utilitarian approach to their craft, 

visitors saw weaving, tapestry and 

other textile techniques displayed as 

units concerned with the problem of 

space. This three-dimensional concept 

ordinarily is not pursued with such 

interest by most of the nation's 

weavers. The display was open to the 

public without charge.

On State History 

Dr. Donald Carmony ’29, head of 

the history department of Indiana 

University and chairman of the state 

committee for celebrating the sesqui- 

centennial of Indiana’s becoming a 

state, is giving a series of sketches of 

Indiana’s history before the high 

schools of Indianapolis. In the first, 

at Emmerich Manual High School, he 

told what Indiana was like when it 

became a state, about the convention 

at Corydon, the first state capital, 

and about the moving of the capital 

to Indianapolis. He reported that in 

1925, when Indianapolis became the 

capital, there were fewer people in 

Indiana than there are now pupils in 

the Indianapolis public schools.

Faculty Notes 

Mrs. Dorothy Munger, assistant 

professor of music at Indiana Central 

and pianist for the Indianapolis Sym- 

phony Orchestra, participated with 

Eric Rosenblith, violinist and concert 

master of the orchestra, in a convo- 

cation which was part of Anderson 

College’s artists’ program Thursday, 

March 10. 

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Munger took 

some MENC members to Purdue Uni- 

versity March 5 to hear concert pian- 

ist Rudolph Serkin. Those attending 

were Rebekah Chambers, Verna Ad- 

ler, Elizabeth Geible and Melanie 

Manges. 

Dr. Roland T. Nelson, Chairman of 

the Department of History, will be 

one of twelve paticipants this sum- 

mer in a field institute in East Africa. 

These twelve participants have 

been selected from colleges from New 

York to Indana. 

It will be specifically a study and 

observation tour. The participants 

will be doing intensive study of Afri- 

can political, social, economic and re- 

ligious affairs. Dr. Nelson’s project 

will be the study of African national- 

ism at work. Most of the time will be 

spent in Kenya and Uganda in East 

Africa but with projected visits to 

other areas. 

Grants for the projects have been 

made by the Department of State and 

the University of Indiana Non- 

Western Studies Program. 

The group will fly from New York 

to Dakar June 27 and will spend July 

and August at the University of 

Nairobi and other areas. 

“Nick” Quits All-star 

Coaching 

Because of having been elected pres- 

ident of the National Association of 

Intercollegiate Athletics at Kansas 

City, Angus Nicoson has had to give 

up the coaching of the Indiana All- 

Star team in their Blind Fund Basket- 

ball battles with Kentucky. 

It will be necessary for Nick to be 

on the road much of the time in June 

to attend committee meetings at the 

time the All-stars are practicing in 

Indianapolis before the first game 

June 18, making it impossible for him 

to continue the job that has given 

him so much pleasure for 14 years. 

Nick has compiled a 14-11 record 

with the All-stars since 1952. Seven 

of the 11 losses were by four points 

or less.

I 

Plan Launched to 

Encourage More Negroes 

To Get College Education 

Indiana Central College and Attucks 

High School will cooperate in a pro- 

gram designed to encourage more 

capable Negro high school students 

to attend a college or university upon 

graduation. 

The six-week series of discussion 

grew out of conferences between Dr. 

Robert E. McBride, professor of phil- 

osophy at Indiana Central, and Dr. 

Alexander M. Moore, principal of 

Attucks High School. They were 

joined in the planning by Earl Don- 

aldson, vice principal of Attucks; 

Dr. Joseph Taylor, of the Indiana 

University regional campus in Indi- 

anapolis, and other members of the 

Indiana Central faculty. 

“Leaders in public and private 

higher education have been much 

concerned in recent years over the 

fact that too few of the capable 

Negro high school graduates are 

finding their way into the halls of 

higher education,” they said in a 

statement. “While Negroes constitute 

approximately 13 per cent of the 

population of Indiana, only about 3 

per cent of the total enrollment of 

the state’s colleges and universities 

is Negro. 

“For those who feel that higher 

education and professional competence 

offer one very important road to 

greater economic and social integra- 

tion of the Negro in our society, these 

figures are not very encouraging. The 

present program is an experiment 

designated to attack this problem.” 

The purpose of the program was 

predicated upon three factors: 

1. The need to stimulate and en- 

courage Negro students to think 

about the personal and social impor- 

tance of a college education in the 

rapidly growing and changing Ameri- 

can society. 

2. The need to overcome unrealis- 

tic fears and misconceptions about 

college life, its character and its 

demands. 

3. The need to supply students 

with factual information and back- 

ground relative to success in college. 

The meetings began Thursday, 

February 17, and ended Tuesday, 

April 5. They were held at Attucks 

and started at 3: 15 p.m. on the days 

designated, lasting an hour. Most of 

the students participating were 

seniors but a few juniors also partook. 

The group attending the sessions was

New Summer Program 

A greatly expanded summer pro- 

gram is being offered this year at 

Indiana Central. The program includes 

both day and evening classes. A June 

high school graduate can work during 

the summer and still get “a taste” 

of collegiate academic requirements 

before launching his full program in 

the fall. This opportunity is available 

to students even though they do not 

plan to attend Indiana Central in the 

fall. 

A person who does not meet regular 

admission requirement may enroll in 

the summer on a trial basis. He must 

enroll for two courses, English Com- 

position and the History of Western 

Civilization. If he demonstrates his 

ability and determination by passing 

these courses with a grade of “C” or 

better, he may then be admitted to 

the college in September as a regular 

student. Dormitory facilities are 

available for this session. The cost 

will be $60 for the eight week period. 

The tuition fee will be $20 per credit 

hour.

mer program should contact:

ICC Leads All-Sports Race 

With the end of the basketball and 

wrestling season, the 1965-66 Hoosier 

College Conference All-Sports race 

finds Indiana Central holding a slim 

2% point lead over second-place And- 

erson. 

The Greyhounds successfully 

defended their 1964-65 title in 

wrestling under coach Paul Velez. 

However, Angus Nicoson’s basket- 

ballers dropped to second place for 

the first time in three years, finishing 

behind Manchester’s Spartans. 

A tie for third place in football and 

sole possession of third place in 

tennis gives Central 51 points to- 

ward the All-Sports trophy. Ander- 

son is a close second with 48% points, 

followed by Taylor, 44%; Manches- 

ter, 38; Hanover, 27; Franklin, 25; 

and Earlham, 7. 

Earlham being a new member 

gained no points in football and 

basketball. Although IC’s hardwood 

quintet relinquished the conference 

crown this season, the Nicoson-led 

Hounds earned a trip to Kansas City 

and the national NAIA tourney for 

the second time in three years. 

The Greyhounds gained revenge in 

the. NAIA district 21 tourney at 

Anderson by clubbing Manchester for 

the second time in three meetings, 

98-84, then won the K.C. trip with a 

scintillating 100-83 mop-up of host 

Anderson. 

The Hounds nearly pulled the upset 

of the tourney when they pushed 

second-seeded Carson-Newman of 

Tennessee to the wire before bowing, 

68-67. 

Coach Velez’ grapplers, winners of 

the first annual ICC wrestling meet 

last year, retained their title in the 

conference and also grabbed the 

Little State championship for the 

third straight time. 

Posting an 8-3 dual meet record, the 

Hounds were led by senior Tim Giles, 

one of the most outstanding Indiana 

Central wrestlers in recent years. 

Giles lost but three times this year 

and 12 of his 14 victories were pins, 

including three straight under two 

minutes in the HCC meet. Tim, a 

145-pounder, was voted the outstand- 

ing wrestler in both the ICC and Little 

State meets. He also was voted most 

valuable wrestler by his teammates 

and received the trophy for the 

fastest pin at 43 seconds. 

Other outstanding wrestlers were 

sophomore Mike Watkins, who won 

the Little. State 115-pound title; Dale 

Sidebottom, HCC and Little State 

champ in the 152-pound class; Dave 

Graves, 177 champ of HCC and Little 

State, and Maurice Barnes, who was 

also the champ in the HCC and Little 

State 191-pound class.
