Carmony Gives Lectures 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. Open Second Computer School Skip Handy ’58 and his partner Walter Nagel, Jr. (IU) both of Fort Wayne, Indiana, will be opening their second computer school in June at 150 Market Street in Indianapolis.

The Elec- tronic Computer Programming In- stitute will be offering a complete course of study beginning with the basic E A M equipment and con- tinuing through computer programming. The Fort Wayne School, which has been in operation since last June, is serving a vital need to northern Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan. The Indianapolis school will be offering day, evening, and Saturday classes. Skip and Walter cordially invite you to stop by, renew old acquaintances, make new ones, and tour their facilities. The Handys also invite you to visit their new store which will be opening this fall in the new Glenbrook Shopping Center in Fort Wayne. Their present store, Covington House Interiors, Inc., is lo- cated on U.S. 24 West in the Time Corners Shopping Center. Drop in and visit sometime! Slaymaker Paintings Exhibit at Indiana Central Recent paintings by Martha Slay- maker, Indianapolis artist, went on exhibit at Indiana Central College on Sunday, March 27, and remained through April 22. The display was open to the public without charge. Mrs. Slaymaker has had many one-man shows, participated in nu- merous exhibits, and won countless prizes and awards. She has taught art at the Jewish Community Center and the Herron Art Museum, both in Indianapolis. She studied at Ohio State Univer- sity, Edinboro (Pa.) State College, and Youngstown University and Baldwin-Wallace College, both in Ohio. Indiana Central College’s art gal- lery is on the first floor of the old Administration Building, which houses the Leah Ransburg Fine Arts Center. 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 pianist 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 summer 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 president 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 program 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 encourage Negro students to think about the personal and social importance 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 ’Hounds Head for K.C. Cheerleader Lee Johnson affixes a good luck sign to one of the cars provided by Smart & Perry Ford City for the Greyhounds’ trip to Kansas City.

Ford City provided three 1966 Station Wagons for the trip through arrangements with Bob Waddell, New Car Sales Manager, and the Alumni Office. limited to 60 students, with many of the meetings divided into several smaller groups. Some of the topics were “Why Go to College?” “Ingredi- ents of Success in College,” “Facts and Fancies About the Negro in Education,” “The Meaning of Intelli- gence and the Development of Critical Thinking,” “Words, Words, Words- The Importance of Vocabulary,” and “Psychological Principles in Learn- ing.” Other leaders besides those who planned the program included Pro- fessor Elizabeth Selden, IU Downtown Center; Mrs. Osa Spurlock, Indiana Civil Liberties Commission office; Professor Landrum Schields, IU psychologist; Professor Miriam Lang- Sam, IU history teacher; Dr. Dan Wolfe, assistant director of the IU extension center, and these members of the Indiana Central College faculty : Dr. Marvin G. Baker, chairman of the Education Department; Professor Marvin Henricks, chairman of the Sociology Department; Dr. Robert Brooker, chairman of the Division of Science and Mathematics; Dr. Blanche Krick, psychology professor; Pro- fessor Martha Waller, English De- partment; Professor Ray E. Warden, Jr., English Department; and Mrs. Florabelle Wilson, Assistant librarian. c 15 1 New Summer Program A greatly expanded summer program 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. Any person interested in this summer program should contact: Indiana Central College Evening Division 4001 Otterbein Avenue Indianapolis 46227
