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 Howe. He has held several pastorates in the EUB Church, the last at River- side Muncie, where he has been since 1955. He has also been active on numerous committees, councils and boards, among them the Deleware Council of Churches and the Delaware County Chapter of the American Red Cross. He is married to the former June Krey of Sylvia, Kansas. There are two sons, Richard Allen and Don Ray. The Reverend Merrell D. Geible is a member of the Indiana Conference North of the EUB Church with resi- dence at Syracuse, Ind., where he is Director of Program and Christian Education of the Conference. After being graduated in 1944 from Indiana Central with an A.B. degree, he attended Bonebrake Theological Sem- inary, from which he received the B.D. degree in 1947. After spending 18 years as pastor of three churches, he was elected to the office mentioned above and which he now holds. He is married to the former Lois E. Fulton, x46, Indiana Central. In the family are five children: Elizabeth, David, who will attend ICC this fall; Katherine, a sophomore at Syracuse High School; Norman, a freshman at Syracuse; and Rebecca, 8th grader in Syracuse Junior High. ~ College Raises Fees for Room and Board Indiana Central College has announced 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 schools this semester. Twenty-one of them are in elementary schools and 57 in high schools. One semester of teaching in an ac- credited school under an approved supervising teacher is required to qualify for a teachers’ license after graduation from college.

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 education in itself. Although they are not directly related there is much continuity 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 presented 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 students are enrolled for classes in the spring semester. The largest single area of enrollment 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 education by the business community. Larger high school graduating classes, increased interest in adult education 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 tuition 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.
