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 program 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 discussed 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 attendance, 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 understood 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 commencement 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 former Mary Blome. They have three children.
