HELEN GRAY HOWERYApril 20, 1914~November 18, 1965The entire college community was stunned when itreceived news of the death of Dr. Helen C. Howery,Dean of women, in the early afternoon of November 18.Although it was known that the operation she was toundergo that morning was quite serious, yet it was difficultto believe that with her characteristic vitality andvivaciousness she would not survive it. Baker MemorialChapel was crowded that evening after dinner for abrief service of prayer and scripture under the leadershipof Dean Zepp. The almost unanimous attendanceof both men and women, faculty and staH, was a strikingtestimony to the high esteem in which she was heldby both her colleagues and students.On the following Sunday evening the program of theregular chapel service was changed to a Memorial Servicefor Dean Howery. Scripture passages were read byDiane Bennekamper, '66. Dean Zepp read several appropriateselections from Shakespeare (Dean Howery'spoet). In addition to an anthem by the choir, Mrs. JuliaHitchcock of the Music Department sang Tennyson's"Crossing the Bar" and Ashford's "My Task." The memorialaddress was given by Dr. Haskell R. Deal, of Washington,a longtime pastor and warm personal friend ofthe Howery family.I had the high privilege of reading the following excerptsfrom a formal address of welcome to Dean Howeryby Mr. John Pappadopoulos when she visited hishome in Athens during her European trip in the Springof 1964. Mr. Pappadopoulos's daughter, Marianthy, hadbeen a student at the College for four years, graduatingin 1963. The original Creek in which it was deliveredwas translated into English by Marianthy and presentedto Dean Howery before she left their home. I am includingthese excerpts here, because they express in a veryunusual way what many of us in our hearts feel aboutDean Howery, and represent a high tribute paid to her,not after death when we are apt to exaggerate a bit, butduring her rich and rewarding lifetime:"Many times have I been fortunate to receive Americansin my home and the joy I have felt each time hasbeen great. However, at this time, that I'm receiving inmy home a fine American, a great worker of the mindyou,Dean Howery-the joy and emotion that fiU myheart are beyond description."Because, you Dean Howery, were not just a professorwho within your power took care of and saw to it thatour Marianthy's mind was cultivated-the young mind ofour daughter during her four-year study at the excellentCollege of Western Maryland. As a result of this study,she learned the world's most important language, thelanguage of the present and the future. Thanks to herexperience at college, she may use English without anyhesitation, one may say, as an important weapon on theroad of life and she may walk sure of herself."But your position was multiple toward Marianthy.Sbe left Greece for the country of the great Democracyat a young age and found herself in a strange land withdifferent people, different climate, different customs andtraditions. She left young and inexperienced feeling thelack of the motherly kiss and fatherly pat. Many timesshe must have broken down to tears because of homesickness."Right then you showed your magnanimity by becomingfather and mother to our child and offering anythingyou could. You stood by her as though you had been hernatural mother."You were her tireless consoler, her fine adviser, herguide to the road of progress and goodness. All thatMarianthy wrote about you in her letters to us wouldtake up a volume to mention: it is a hymn to the beautyof your soul and your task. ..''I receive you to our home then with great pleasureand wish that during your stay in our Greece, you willfeel as happy and cheerful as our daughter did whenshe was in our beautiful America. ."LOWELLS.

WITHTHE BEAVERSby WilliamR. RidingtonDuring the summer vacation Mrs. Ridington and [drove to British Columbia, Canada, to visit our son andhis wife, who are anthropologists. It turned out to benot just a family visit, but a week of living with theBeaver Indians whom they are studying, and a chanceto see at first hand Indian conditions and problemswhich we could never have had without our son's involvement.He and his wife will be living with themduring the entire coming winter.This particular Indian group is located on the AlaskaHighway 200 miles north of Dawson Creek, BritishColumbia. This summer was the third summer that myson had spent in part, at least, with the group, and bynow he and his wife are accepted; and for this reasonwe as his parents were automatically accepted into thegroup there, since the idea of the family is very strong.The friendliness, dignity, acceptance, and often silentbut obvious courtesies we were shown we did not expectand can never forget.The particular group we were with was living in fourtents barely into the woods off the highway, and four tentssimilarly located four or five hundred yards away. Whenwe arrived we had no clear idea of the extent to whichour son was actually living with the Indians in connectionwith the anthropological study. Soon after our arrivalour son said that it was time for dinner, and wefollowed him to the tent of the patriarch of the group.As the patriarch's tent it boasted a small sheet-metalstove in front of the open tent, instead of the openwood fire which the other tents all kept burning continuously,with water constantly hot over it.The tent was skillfully constructed of forked saplings,bound with cord or moose hide thongs and covered withpatches of canvas, and a commercial type of canvas tenthack of this. The floor was covered with small evergreenbranches, making an attractive and soft cover forsitting at any point. A small piece of plywood coveredthis in the front center of the area, and was covered withwhite oilcloth-the dining table. I had not realized thatwe were to eat there till we found ourselves squatted infront of the oilcloth; and this was the only time in ourweek's stay when I suddenly felt as if I just could nottake the situation and would have to find a quick excusefor not eating.We knew that it is characteristic of this Indian groupto have had TB sometime in their lives, and now I wassitting down with them and about to eat from theirutensils. One woman of the group had very large andT~e tent where Dr. and Mrs. Ridington had meals is'pIctured above with Mrs. Ridinl:,Ttonat the left.ugly scars across the neck, below the jaw, which hadbeen caused by TB not too long ago, since she was cer~tainly only about 25 years old. The water to drink wasdistinctly discolored, and I already knew that it ha1come from a murky brook about 60 yards away wit~a volume about as large as that of a water faucet, anwith some trash in the stream. Dishes had been washed,but by the very nature of the camp living, the dishtowel obviously had had contact with the tent floor.This was the place my son and his wife ate regularly,and she helped with the cooking. I had either to jointhe eating or not, with no reasonable middle course. I~l left we would merely have a visit with our son anlearn nothing about the Indians, so after a brief mentalstruggle I began to eat.The patriarch had shot a moose that clay and broughtback the best cuts with him. The meat was as fine asany I have ever eaten, and 1 would never have knownthat it was not beef. There was a huge kettle of te.afrom which we could dip to our hearts content, and Ithad been bailing. We enjoyed the meal, but did notrealize that we were to have three meals a day of moose

meat aU choice cuts. From this point on, having madethe decision to eat that one meal, we prolonged our visitwith our son to a week's length with much pleasure.Space does not permit any documented listing of theIndian way of life and the problems of this group, butI do want to mention a few things that struck us.These Indians had not had much contact with thewhite man till the building of the Alaska Highway, andwere very much isolated till very recently. They aremere remnants. The oldest woman in the group wasthe sole survivor of famine in her group, and all of herchildren have also died. The oldest man is the salesurvivor from his group of the flu epidemic. Similarremnants have gathered to make up the group I visited,which is mostly one family. These people are nomadic,with no agriculture whatsoever. They hunt all year andtrap in the winter. When a moose is killed it is immediatelycut into thin strips and dried over a fire for usein the winter.Only the younger people know English. No personin the whole group can drive a car, or has the backgroundto go through the machinery of getting a license.Their transportation is by horses and their possessionsare just what they can keep in a tent. We saw a fewcomic books, but no sign of a hardback book, and aswe use the term few of the group can or do read. Asone of the boys about twenty years old told me, "Thereis nothing to do around here." He spent much timewalking back and forth along the highway, often huntinghis horses. Their contacts with other Indians areshort and rare, and on the uninhabited Alaska Highwaythey meet few white men, and never in a context thatcould introduce them to much of use from the widerworld. When they get cas-hand do store marketing theyget liquor and may go on heavy drunks, with actionsThis Indian baby and his cradle bring to mindthe old. lullaby.following as one might expect. 1 had the impressionthat they are basically unhappy, have problems ofjealousies and frictions from living together in so smalla group, and have no visible prospect of anything better.The nearest doctor is a hundred miles away in eitherdirection, and my son drove an Indian that distance tohave her baby delivered at three o'clock one morningwhile we were there. He had done the same thing forthe same girl the summer before, and the first childmay be born to a girl as young as' 15 years of age.We were living (sleeping) comfortably enough duringthe week in our Volkswagen"Camper" and are happyto have had a series of opportunities we never expected.Womenof the village are here at work on a skin.The patria1"C1~of the Village, whose hospitalitythe RidingtoT18 enjoyed, agreedto have his picture taken.William R.

INDIAN DOCTORb)' Robert A. McCormick, '58As a Commissioned Officer in the Public Health ServiceI sought assignment in the Southwestern UnitedStates in order to gain both medical experience and alsohuman experience working with a very different people.I am stationed at a small 40-bed Indian Hospital inSanta Fe.Here we see patients in our outpatient clinics, admitthose needing hospital care, and maintain the generalheadquarters for all field services, viz., sanitary engineering,field dental and medical clinics, etc. There are twoof us who maintain the hospital work as general practitionersand a senior medical officer who concentratesmostly on administrative matters. We are assisted by atotal staff of 50 some including nurses, clerks, maintenance,kitchen.The usual day begins witb "rounds" at 8 a.m., which intypical Santa Fe fashion usually picks up steam about8:30 a.m.; next, hospital work until noon; then, weekly,there are afternoon clinics which are general medicalclinics from 1 to 5 p.m. Each night one of us is onduty; therefore, we alternate nights and weekends forcomplete coverage of the hospital patients and emergencies.The type of medicine we practice is probably almostunheard of today in modern America. In the first place,we are general practitioners running a hospital with peoplehaving problems ranging from the "womb to thetomb!" The diseases we see are less frequently seen bymost practitioners today. Our Indians, the Pueblos, areactually not as primitive as other American Indians, butthey nevertheless provide us with a wide spectrum ofuncommon diseases. It has been said that if an Indianchild survives infancy and childhood, his chances ofliving to be old are good. This strikes me as being truefrom what T have seen. This also seems to have beenapplicable to our "civilized" society 50 years ago. Thechildren early in infancy can succumb to devastatingdiarrheas and pneumonias. They also have a high incidenceof ear infections, which, when unattended, leavemany without adequate hearing as adults. Tuberculosisalso rears its ugly head often and must always be keptin mind with any disease situation. The adult populationhas a high incidence of infectious diseases, of the lungsand skin especially, but they also contract such severediarrheas as Shigella dysentery, amebiasis, and typhoidfever: the things our medical school professors woulddrool over!My very limited experience leaves me with the alarmingfeeling that the Indian and his way of life have usbeat: there are very few real severe heart attacks! I haveseen about three in four months and all have occurredin elderly people (70-90 years old!). That says a l~t.There have been several cases of cancer, less than 10 mfour months; but the infectious diseases take the majorityof people to the doctor.Another biting problem has been the madadjustmentsituation for Indians in between two cultures: aleo·bolism.Many pages could be written about this, but I must saythat I have seen my share of alcoholism right in Washington,D. c., and the Indian is not the only group ~fpeople bugged by this. The average American pracutionerprobably sees 60 to 70 per cent psychiatric typeproblems in his daily patient load. I would estimate oursto be less than 20 per cent (these are wild guessesl)My feelings for the Indian are positive and, hopefully,open in all directions. The only thing I know right nowis that they are no different, humanly speaking, fromany other people I have contacted in such a socioeconomicposition. The pueblos are little villages of adobestyle houses clustered together on vast expanses of land,the reservations. They are self-governing but are helpedout by the federal government in areas of medical care,education, and housing and hygiene, to name a few.There are good arguments pro and con why 1) the Indiansshould be encouraged to remain on their reservationsand 2) why they should integrate into the Americansociety.My feeling is that tradition and culture are deeplyingrained in these folk so that religion (mostly ancie.ntpagan with fringe-like Christian trimmings) and dal~ylife are vitally intermingled. These in turn are tied Inwith close-knit family units and villages. Also, almostdistinct Indian dialects exist in each pueblo. Such combinationsare hard to break. People caught up in changemust forsake much. What would I do in that case?When I talk with and treat these people I n~::d~seemingly natural shyness of the women a~d watch Iwait attitude of the men. when my motives are proper Yunderstood by my patients, there is usually good doctorpatientrelationship and something good results. When1 lack patience or understanding, a great deal is lost. bAs doctors we are helped every bit of the way ylong-suffering Public Health Nurses and practical nurses.They ,lccompany us when, three days a week, we set outpageeighf

.'30to 40 miles for clinics on the pueblos themselves.Patients will wait many hours inside and out while eachperson is seen separately and personally. It is my feelingthat perhaps medically the Indians get quicker servicethan most average Americans. But many will not go tothe doctor until he again returns to the local clinicbecause of lack of transportation to Santa Fe. Perhapsagain this points up a vital difference with the Indianpatient: trusting the white man's doctor is relativelyrecent as history goes! The Indian Service of the PHShas accomplished much just getting mothers to delivertheir babies in the hospital, to have doctors check theirchildren in well baby clinics, and to bring a child intothe hospital early in the course of an illness before irreparabledamage has resulted.Working in this medical and social problem area isrewarding, though not without life's usual stresses andfrustrations. The difficulties of the American Indianswith whom I labor are certainly different from otherracial groups and are not comparable. The Indian wishesto remain an Indian, though he is willing to make modifications.Perhaps we "Anglos" would like to steal someof the Indian culture; perhaps that unknown quantitywhich lowers heart disease and bodily stress. By chancein the next two years my views will radically change.I can be assured that the Indian will not.An example of .tlle Uoin~ f~Cilities ~o~ the l~ians Doctor McCOImick treats is this reconstructed pueblo site innortheastern At'lzona.

The WMC StudentThe December issue prepared byundergraduates last year explored thecommitment to service of WMC studentsand alumni. That commitmenttakes various turns on the Hill, not allprofound, but aU sincere. Recentlythere hae been a growing interest inservice to creativity as well as tohumanity. The articles which followare a selection from numerous projectsunder way.SCA INNER CITY PROJECTMembers of the Student Christian Assoelationrecently took time to explore thelocation of a problem before planning aproject. With the help of a Methodist minister,eight students toured part of the innercity area of Baltimore and made plans toreturn to help with voter registration, recreation,and some community planning.Planning what is now called an Advancerather than a Retreat, the students originallywent to Baltimore to help with voter registration.Inadvertently they got sidetrackedby a CORE rally and march protesting ahousing problem in Baltimore. JamesFarmer was speaking at a Eutaw Placesynagogue when the students arrived to helpwith voter registration, and immediatelyafter Mr. Farmer's talk the protest marchtook place. Western Maryland students didnot join this march because they reachedthe synagogue too late to hear Mr. Farmer'sspeech and were not completely sure whatthe protest was about. They did not feelthey should march without understandingthe reason. It was a first experience for mostof the students, however, who carefully observedthis civil rights protest. They wereinterested in the fact that the marcherswere an integrated group, most of them obviouslynot slum dwellers. There were noincidents, no violence.After this introduction, the Rev. RobertS. Clark of Fells Point Parish took the studentsto Caroline Street Methodist ChurchAs the march had delayed them past timeto be helpful, Mr. Clark decided to take thegroup on an inspection of the neighborhood.As SCA president Louise Nelson said, fewof them had ever come so close to the problem.She added that it all looks much dtf-~erent ~t dose view than it does when youJust dnve through the areaWoods and Mr. Clark. Weekday programsinclude a Day Nursery; remedial readingand library services for children and youth;Brownie and Cub Scouts, Girl and BoyScouts; craft and recreation groups; studyand prayer groups; choirs for children andadults. Special summer programs are Vacations-In-The-Countryand Vacation ChurchSchools. Counseling is provided for peoplewho desire help with socio-economic needsand direct assistance is given or referrals tothe appropriate agency are made.A storefront building was acquired in1964 on East Baltimore Street.

DavidDean Howery's death came to me, as toeveryone else on the campus, as an unbelievableshock. I considered her a permanentpart of Western Maryland and an indestructiblepart at that. It is impossible forme to think of the College without her.I had the privilege of working with herfor many years of complete harmony duringwhich we weathered many a crisis together.Our most serious disagreements, if I recallcorrectly, were over the number of hoursduring which women could visit in the men'sdormitories on weekends and the relativenumber of men and women who "ought tobe" nominated to "Who's Who" in certainyears. Perhaps only one who has had towork as closely with someone for as long atime as I did with Helen Howery can fullyappreciate the friendship, the humor, andthe firm support which she gave me as I performedmy administrative and teachingduties. I have reason to be grateful in particularfor her material help to me in thecompletion of my dissertation.Dean Howery was not noted, I believe,for the complete efficiency with which sheconducted her dennly activities. Her weak,ness in organization, nevertheless, grew outof the same personality as all the generoushuman qualities she expressed. She waspatient beyond normal human endurance.Her work was characterized by an unerringand uncompromising sense of honor and in,tegrity. When things were difficult, as whenthe "phantom" roamed the campus, she didnot panic. She took no delight in penalizingstudents. \Vhile she was dean many punitiveprocedures were changed. For example, shelooked upon excessive absence from classnot as a punishable offense but as an indicationof possible need for counselling. Sheapproached emotional problems with understanding,a desire to see constructive stepstaken to deal with the underlying difficulties.A sensitive person she was too easily hurtin some ways to enjoy the greatest piece ofmind in a position where sometimes a thickskin is beneficial. However, her very sensitivitymade it possible for her to relate inan especially significant way to her students.There was no malice in her. I do not hesitateto say that through her own life andthrough the values of which she gave evi,donee in practice she helped a host of studentsto learn matters of greater importanceto their lives than the subject matter theylearn ill our classes. She was warm and lovingin a world in which these qualities seemto be disappearing. Western Maryland willnot see her likes again.WiWam M.

SportsHall of FameElects Twiggby David Carrasco. )67Ever so often, when we are lauding ourselvesfor great achievements and recordbreakingperionnances, an event or a nameof greater significance comes out of the past.The Maryland State Athletic Hall of Famebas announced that Carl "Molly" Twigg(Class of 1911) has been awarded a membershipberth. Mr. Twigg was inducted atthe 15th annual awards banquet in Washingtonon December 4. His records while atWestern Maryland are eye-opening items.His advice for present day gridmen issimple and precise.Mr. Twigg played football and baseballat Western Maryland from 1908 to 1911.He helped usher in the era of the forwardpass while throwing 40_ and 50-yard passesseveral years before Knute Rockne caughtwhat is claimed the first forward pass infootball. In 1911 when all the great ballplayerssupposedly came from Harvard, Yaleand Princeton, Walter Camp, the footballexpert of the times, called him the "bestforward passer in America." His passingaverage was between 200-300 yards a game.There was no defense for the forward passas most of the players couldn't throw theblimp-shaped ball over 25 yards with accuracy."Molly" talks of his college days with abold glitter in his eye and his recall of eventsand games wins the admiration of visitors.When he explains about the birth of theforward pass, his large slender fingers articulatethe method he used as a quarterback.Despite the fact that he turned 77 on November21, he has maintained an impressivestature.Coming from Allegany to Westminster in1905, he began classes at the Western MarylandPrep School. He was taller (6' 2") thanall of the prep schoclers, and his big handswere a topic of interest. Never having playedfootball before prep school days, he wentout with the other boys and discovered thathe had a knack for centering the footba11with a spiral. The coaches discovered thisalso. "Molly" explains, "One afternoon mycoach, Mickey Whitehurst, said, "Twigg, ifyou can pass that ball backward like thatlet'stry doing it forward." It turned out tobe Western Maryland's greatest reverse.The retired gentleman proudly tells thathis favorite maneuver was the shoestringpattern where he would elude rushers longenough to allow his number One target.Chandler Sprague, dance loose of his defensiveman. The two apparently worked wellas was evidenced at Lehigh where TwiggpagefourteenCarl Twigg, '11completed 20 for 21. During his entirecareer he missed only ten minutes of playingtime and, legend has it, his arm neededa rest.While on the Hill, Mr. Twigg was alsoan outstanding baseball pitcher. His mosteffective pitch was the spitball. Molly explainsthat he used a piece of slippery elmhark to increase his strikeout records. In1926 he returned to Western Maryland andcoached the baseball team until 1935. Itwas during this time that he became closefriends with Dick Harlow. For Carl TWigg,Coach Harlow was the "greatest footballcoach who ever lived."In commenting on the difference betweenfootball in his time with present day play,the Hall of Fame member mentions that henever wore a set of shoulder pads. Theonly protective equipment used was a feltheadgear "which never stayed on me pastthe first couple of minutes." Competitionfor positions was not as great in thosedays because only 25 boys tried out for thesquad. "But we worked a great deal harderand always strove to get into the Opponent'sbackfield."When asked what the key to good footballis, "Molly" said, "Concentration and practiceare the main things. Why Sprague and1 would work an hour a day after practiceon some occasions and it paid off."Case Leads WrestlersCoach

Hopkins TakesLast GameBasketball team members include, left to right: first row-Larry Suder, JimReck, Gary Fass, Mike Baker, Bill Dudley; second row-Coach Clower, SkipShear, Gary Shapiro, Greg Getty, Sam Leishure, junior varsity coach; thirdrow-Jerry Wolf, Dick Eigen, Ralph Wilson, Joe Smothers, Mike Kroe.STRONG SQUAD SEENPre-season experts are predicting that basketballcoach Richard Clower will be directinga stronger squad than last year'swhich posted a highly respectable 14-8record. Coach Clower, while making no suchpredictions, does admit that a wealth offreshman talent has suddenly come to Gillgymnasium.A strong nucleus returns with high scoringSkip Shear leading the way. Skip is a juniorand scored 479 points last year for a gameaverage of 21.8. Also returning is slick shootingDick Eigen who suffered a rash of injurieslast year but is now in top form. Thethird veteran to return is big, hustling RalphWilson who comes from Mount Savage.Ralph is only a sophomore, stands 6' 4", ledthe team in rebounding, and was second inscoring. He is a reliable mao. Other returninglettermen arc Mike Kroe, the varsity'sbiggest man who stands 6' 5" and weighs205 pounds, and spunky Jim Heck, a seniorfrom Westminster.Some of last year's junior varsity squadwill be dressing for both junior varsity andvarsity contests. They are Cary Fass, RickCoburn and Jerry Wolf.The freshmen mentioned earlier will bemoving into varsity uniforms. They include1I1ikeBaker, the shortest man on the squadwho was an all-city choice at Lafayette HighSchool in Brooklyn. He may be starting ata guard position. Joe Smothers, a tall andalert all-star center from Baltimore, will seeplenty of action. Another freshman withstrong potential is Larry Suder who receivedHonorable Mention All-American recognitionat Valley High, Lonaconing, where he playedguard. Other helpfuls are Cary Shapiro,Creg Getty and William Dudley.This year's schedule includes two gamesat the Baltimore Civic Center (Towson College,December 16, and Washington College,January 6) and participation in the BridgewaterChristmas Tournament to be heldDecember 29 and 30.The 1965 version of Western Marylandfootball came to a close on November 20with an upset defeat at the hands of rivalJohns Hopkins University. The Terrors' seasonrecord was 3 wins and 6 losses.For new mentor Ron Jones, it was a disappointingseason as well as a valuable onein terms of experience, learning and relearning."My only regret," said Jones, "is thatwe had such n fine, fine group of boys but,;ouldn't manage a winning season"Following the opening loss to highly ratedWagner, the gridders returned to Hoffa Fieldwhere they defeated Pennsylvania MilitaryAcademy 14-7 and Lycoming College 19-13on Homecoming. During these two weeks,Creen Terror fans saw the birth of a star infreshman halfback Jerry Barga. He displayedsuperb running and punting abilityand led the team in scoring and rushingwith 26 points and 490 yards in 105 carriesfor a 4.7 average gain. He did not play thelnst two games due to a head injury.In Death Valley, Virginia, time ran out ona fourth quarter Terror rally as Hampden-Sydney beat our squad 15-13. Traveling inVlrgtnia the following week, Western Marylandwon the season's most exciting gameover Washington and Lee. Grayson Winterling,Victor MoTeer and Paul McClintockpassed, tackled and kicked the gridmen backinto the winning column, 9-7. Paul Mc-Cttneock's 25-yard field goal with 1.35 rerrmintngtold the truth. The Terrors lost thenext four games to Randolph-Macon 13-8,~~~kl~~l~~~~~kf~s,4i4~6. Drexel Teeh 12-7,Offensively, the squad never produced theresults it was striving for nil season. Thebackfield was the fastest that Western Marylandhas seen in this decade but no leadercould be found. It should be pointed outthat no defeat (except the Dickinson drubbingand the Hopkins upset) was by morethan 7 points.Seniors who have closed their footballcurccrs nre: tri-captains, Rick (J. J.) White,Cary Kulick and Alan Ingalls; Charles Sohn,Art Lang, Russell Cook, John Trainor, BillFalkler, Paul McClintock, Jon Holthaus,Gerald Winegrad, .Ron Boone, GraysonWinterling, Ron Giesey, Roger Shipley,Bruce Knowles and Bob Basye.The brightest spot in the future footballpicture is the return of the backfield. Borga,Rryant Parker, John Markovich and Danal-I~seman are all returning. Coach JonesWill be I~king for some bigger linemen inhopes to increase the number of bruiserslike 240-pound Vic Mc'Teer and 225-poundJim King.Last year's high scorer was Skip Shear.pagefifteen

Alumni AssociationWhen is our next reunion? This might becomea question heard 'round the WesternMaryland alumni world for the next fewyears as the College moves into a revisedreunion schedule.In the past class reunions have operatedon the Quinquennial Plan. This meant thatevery five years a class held its regular reunion.This was an easy system to remernber.By adding five or a multiple thereof toyour class numeral, your reunion year wouldautomatically result. For example: 1916 +50 == 1966, or 1961 + 5 = 1966, or 1951+ 15 = 1966.For the sake of convenience in rememberinga given reunion that five-year plan hasno equal. However, its greatest drawback isthat no other class which was in collegewhen you were comes back for reunion atthe same time. In many cases husbands andwives or best friends or roommates werealways denied the opportunity of comingtogether for reunion unless they were mombcrsof the same class. This failure has beenvoiced many times by alumni. One would~hink that the younger classes just esrablrsh,mg reunion patterns would suffer from thisdilemma more than older ones. This may betrue but the criticism came from quite awide spread of classes.In an e~ort to overcome this discrepancy~:u~~u~n~e~i~~~~ o:t~~ve~:%~~f~~i~~~~~the chairmanship of Dr. Wilmer V. Bell, '3~.Ot.hers on the committee are: Miriam RoyerBnckett, '27, Wilbur D. Preston, '46, andBetty Lee Robbins Seiland, '50.Following the first several months of study,Dr. Bell presented an article in the February,1965, l>.fAGAZINE, "Let's Look AtReunions," in which he discussed his committee'sfindings and encouraged commentsfrom alumni. About 100 responded, coveringa fifty-six-year span of classes. All replies:-,cre positive. All endorsed the plan. HereIS a sampling of replies."Think the idea is wonderful." '61Great." '51"Sounds terrific to me." '49 and '48"\Vhat an inspired plan for reunion. Mywig is off to the committee." '16"Excellent idea." '55"Agree wholeheartedly." '33"Strongly in favor." '43Several alumni took time to write letterswith thoughtful endorsing suggestions.With these encouraging results the committeeprogram was reviewed by the Boardof Governors and with Dr. Ensor. All werein favor of adopting the new reunion plan.lt has been adopted and win go into effectin June of 1966.pagerixteellNew Programs Discussedby PhiliP E. UhrigOriginally the recommendation embracedthe idea of holding class reunions on aweekend following the commencement periodso that increased numbers could be accommodatedin the dormitories. However, manyfelt that much would be lost by denyingany the opportunity of visiting with faculty,attending the play or the ceremonies of thatparticular weekend.Reunions will fall in the period June 3to June 6, 1966. Additional classes will beinvited to return each year. And in a-periodof several years, all classes which were onthe Hill at the same time will have had theopportunity to meet.The Committee is still working on refinementsin the program. In addition to enhancingthe value of reunions, the lOth,25th, and 50th reunions will be guarded,and additional activities provided. You willreceive a letter and chart explaining all ofthis to you. However, to allay the fears ofsome, it can be said that all classes whichwould normally have held regular reunionsunder the past plan, will continue this year.Those who have worked closely with therevision recognize that it may take somefew years before the plan moves smoothly.Every effort will be made to make thetransition acceptable to you.In addition to the reunion revision study,other committees have been working underthe Board to review and refine existing partsof the program. In a previous issue of theMAGAZINE, progress reports were given.For example, the Alumni House Study Committeewas mentioned. It can now be reportedthat its recommendation to the Boardof Trustees has been accepted and is underconsideration by that group.Another prominent piece of developmentwork is that handled by the Alumni AwardsStudy Committee chaired by John Edwards,'53. Others were: Richard Kiefer, '34, EloiseChipman Payne, '38.The final report of this two-year studywas accepted unanimously by the Boardof Governors at the October meeting thisyear. Awards programs of many colleges anduniversities were reviewed by the Committee.The Alumni Association has had an awardsprogram in effect for several years. Of themany valuable suggestions incorporated inthe new plan is one which will provide allalumni the opportunity to submit nominations.Heretofore, this was impossible.The mechanics of the new program willbe printed for you in the February MAGA-ZINE, and forms will be provided for all tollarticipate in submitting names to theAwards Committee.

The President's ColumnTribute toMany will -remember "Uncle John" (left) at this alumniTwo Trustees Whiteford (right) during the mid-century convocation.banquet and Mr.Since the writing of my last column for THE MAGA-ZINE, Western Maryland has lost by death two of itsmost valued trustees-Roger J. Whiteford on November27, 1965, at the age of 79, and John H. Cunningham onDecember 31, 1965, just five and a half hours beforehis 99th birthday. Both men were graduates of WesternMaryland-Mr. Whiteford in 1906 and Mr. Cunninghamin 1885; and both bad rendered long and devoted serviceon the Board-Mr. Whiteford since 1934 and Mr.Cunningham since 1914.After graduation from coJlege, Mr. Whiteford taughtin the public schools of Montgomery County for a fewyears while attending law school at night. He then gaveup teaching for the legal profession and began practicingin the Nation's Capital where he became one ofWashington's most distinguished attorneys and the seniorpartner in the law firm of v~hi~eford, Hart, .C~rmody& Wilson. A leader in the District Bar ASSOCiatIon,hewas given the Association's Distinguished Service Awardten years ago. Throughout his care.er, he served. as directorof many prominent corporations where hIS keenmind, sound judgment and good business sense wereinvaluable.His great love and chief avocattonal interest was hisAhna Mater. He served the Board of Trustees in manycapacities and at the time of his death was its vice.chairman. In 1951 as National Chairman of WesternMaryland's Mid-Century Pr~gram, he le~ ~e College ina successful campaign to raise over a million dollars. Itwas at this time that he and 'his son, Joseph S. Whitefd '43 presented to tbe College the magnificent;olian-Slanner organ for Baker Memorial Chap~!.My. Cunningham (affectionately known as UnclepagetwoJohn") was employed as a clerk by the Fanners &Mechanics National Bank in 1885 while he was still asenior at Western Maryland. In due time he becameits president. When this bank merged with other Westminsterbanks in 1948, he became chairman of the boardof the newly created Carroll County National Bank.FollOWinganother consolidation in 1962, he was electedhonorary chairman of the board of the Carroll CountyBank & Trust Company. Thus, his entire career wasspent in banking and, recognized as the Dean of MarylandBankers, he received many honors in banking circl~sthroughout the State. Until a few weeks before Iusdeath, he was to be seen regularly at his desk everybanking day. Walking was his chief recreation and exercise,and even during these last years it was not unusualto see him on the highway taking a four or fivemile hike.His devotion to his Alma Mater across all these yearshas been an inspiration. Probably its oldest alumnus, ~ewas also the senior member of the Board of Trustees Interms of both age and years of service. During my tenureat the College, he never missed a board meeting, a commencement,or the annual alumni banquet. Those of youwho attended the 1964 banquet will never forget thedeep emotion that filled the room when he attemptedwith my help to read his high tribute to Western Marylandand his hopes for its future.Both of these men represented Western Marylandleadership at its best. Loyalty, devotion, generosity andpride marked their relationship to the College. Ourmemory of them is an inspiration to those of us whofollow in their train.LOWELLS. ENSOR

Communication is many things; telephone lines, a musical note,written words, conversation. An eminent s",mantidtt sees it withtwo aspects, output and intake. To others it is what happens betweena good t",ocher and his students. To you it may be readingthe newspaper and looking at TV. For some communication iscontuine(l in the fact tlUlI three mil/ion adult Americans can't reada help wanted ad or a medicine bottle label. To others it is whathappens between an artist and his audience. Students often thinkof communication as an administration which won't understand.Ir i,~a word, finally, with many meanings. We suggest just a fewin this issue.ART ANDCOMMUNICATIONby Gail Mercey, '58Arts and crafts are a special form of communication.They are a common language for everyone because theyare universally understood An American in Asia canimmediately understand th~ work of a potter, painter,or metal worker. Artists and craftsmen can be found inany country.Handcrafted objects are basic and functional-theyare b~th. a necessity and a luxury.

Pathologies of Communicationby Luther F. Sies, '48In an age sufficiently introspective to identify itselfas the Age of Anxiety, innumerable sources of tensionsand frustrations continually appear. One major sourceof current concern 'is the problem of communication.These problems will be discussed here as pathologies ofcommunication.What image am I communicating? Am I telling them?Am 1 really happy? The first question might as readilybe asked by a teen-ager, college professor, or corporationexecutive; the second, by those egocentric personswho usually also mean the unexpressed what I want totell them; the third, by unfortunate persons of variedages and social stations. Each questioner in his uniqueway, to be sure, is concerned about communication. Thefirst two questioners may themselves possess communicativedisorders. It is almost certain that the last one does.In order to analyze and diagnose communicative pathologies,the works of such diverse authorities as psychologistCarl Rogers and semanticist Alfred Korzybski arecertainly required reading.Gradually the general belief spread through our societythat a serious crisis in communication existed. Onemanifestation of the concern was a wave of criticismthat high school graduates were unable to speak andwrite correctly. Loud criticisms of public education ingeneral soon followed. Johnny can't read, they charged,and neither can he speak or write. Unfortunately, thiswas true for far too many children, but the publicschools alone were not to blame. Pathologies of communicationcertainly do not result solely from what happens-or,does not happen-in the public schools. Atany rate, however, the statistics present a grim picture,indeed, with respect to the communication skills of manyAmerican citizens. Consider illiteracy as one example, forthis is one aspect of communicative pathology that canbe clearly identified and discussed.Illiteracy is defined as the inability to read and write.According to the United Nations' Statistical Yearbook,approximately 44 percent of the world's population beyondthe age of fifteen are illiterate. The StatisticalAbstract of the United States issued by the Bureau ofthe Census in 1965 states that 2.2 percent-or, 2,619,000-Americans beyond the age of fourteen are illiterate.All of us should be seriously concerned about both setsof data, and this is exactly the concern that has beenvoiced by Dean Frances Chase. Dean Chase has written."The values of our civilization are more endangered byilliteracy than by any nuclear 'bomb. Two forms of illiteracyare the inability to receive and express ideasthrough reading and writing; and the higher illiteracyor inability to relate the content of verbal communicationto events which at each moment are shaping thefuture." In order to handle the symbols of our massmedia, for example, we must achieve the highest literacyor run the risk of harvesting the emotional stresses andstrains experienced by those whom Riesman has calledouter-directed men.The higher illiteracy, as identified by Chase, warrantsinclusion as a pathology of communication. This group'sbehavior is roughly analogous to that which Hulseidentified as the illiteracy of the literate. In their ownway, these individuals pose far greater dangers to thecommon good than the culturally deprived children fromthe urban slums-or the Appalachian mountains-whocannot read at all.Communication pathologies may take such variedforms as articulatory disorders, voice problems, aphasiclanguage disorders, stuttering, cluttering, cleft palatespeech, cerebral palsied speech, and hearing impairments.In the primary grades of the elementary schools,for example, the incidence of speech and language disordersis approximately 8 percent. Organically causedhearing impairments that are educationally significant inthe same population would be found for approximately5 percent of the children. Some overlapping of thesetwo populations undoubtedly will occur, but the numberof children with some form of communicative pathologywill probably reach 10 percent of the total population.As these children mature, these percentages will decreaseonly if some successful therapeutic programshave been instituted. Hearing impairments, on the otherhand, will show a sharp increase as the group ages,and the process of aging and the ravages of disease taketheir toll. Finally, after middle age many individuals willincur such organically caused speech and language disordersas aphasia, a disorder of the symbolization processcaused by the brain-injury often associated with stroke'and laryngectomy, toe surgical removal of the larynx t~treat cancer of that vocal mechanism. In summary, then,OUT population as it ages presents the following typicalpattern of communication pathologies: As children-ofsay, ten or eleven years of age-approximately 10 percentwill present disorders of speech and hearing. Fromadolescence through early middle age, approximately8 percent of the population will exhibit various communicativedisorders. In late middle age and during thepage five

period of old age, it might be conservatively estimatedthat approximately 15 percent of the population willexperience communication pathologies.Statistical presentations alone, however, cannot indicatethe full extent of communicative disorders. Howmany persons should be numbered among the higheriUiterates? No exact answer is possible, but the numbermust be large indeed. In addition to them, however,there remains yet another group whose numbers canonly be roughly estimated. Mildly emotionally disturbedpersons belong in this latter group, since they may experiencedifficultieswith both internal and external formsof communication. Before discussing this group further,a brief description of the communication process shouldbe given.Communication, in terms of the classic InformationTheory, is the transmission of a message (informationbits) from a transmitter (speaker or writer) to a receiver(listener or reader) by some medium of transmission(speaking or writing). This definition shouldthen be extended further to include Korzybski's GeneralSemantics formulations. In a semantic sense, it is necessaryto consider both intra- and interpersonal communication.The things we "say to ourselves" have considerablesignificance. What we say to "our mostenchanted listener," to borrow Wendell Johnson's phrase,is a difference that makes a difference. Semantogenic disordersusually have an adverse effect upon mental health.Excepting, of course, impairments with organic ettologtes,most communicative disorders are semantogenicelb'caused. Both forms-whether organic or semantogeOlc,of course-demand immediate attention. Present therapeuticand remedial programs are totally inadequate tocope with the communicative pathologies in our country-Too few people are spending too little time, and receivingtoo little public notice and assistance. In .thelong run, perhaps, the only satisfactory way to allev~at~the serious condition will be to educate a sufficlennumber of teachers who will be able to implement amassive program of preventive hygiene to reach mostcitizens and their children. Until such a massive educationalprogram can be implemented, if in~eed i~:i:~can be, the. present scattered efforts .by tramed Co fewand remedial personnel should continue.

Members of the Fund Committee meet in Clarence Bennett's office. They are, left to right, Julian Dyke, Mr. Bennett,Philip Uhrig and Wilmer Bell.PLANS FOR THE 1966 ALUMNI FUNDby Philip E. UhrigSince its inception in 1947, the AnnualAlumni Fund (then known as "Living Endowment")has provided a steadily increasingand vital source of income for WesteruMaryland for underwriting current operatingexpenses.In the beginning, a one-man committeeplanned and organized the entire program.With increased activity in this phase ofalumni responsibility the team has grown.Just as recently as the last Board of Governorsmeeting in October four members wereadded to the committee. Too, the size andforce of the volunteer alumni team of classagents has grown immeasurably. Picturedhere are some of the members of that teamincluding the new Alumni Fund Chairman,Julian L. Dyke, Jr., '50. Other members ofthe committee are: Wilmer V. Bell, '30,committee chairman; Clarence H. Bennett,'28, alumni president; Ernest A. Burch, [r.,'50; Lucie Leigh Barnes Hall, '42; AlleckA. Resnick, '47; C. Frasier Scott, '43; R.Peter Urquhart, '58; William A. Weech, '26;and Paul F. Wooden, '37. In addition to thestanding committee, James H. Straughn, '99,is the Old Guard Chairman, and Wilbur D.Preston, '46, Special Gifts Chairman.ln 19 years the Fund grew from about$3,500 to the all-time high in 1963 of $41,-000. During the last two years income fromannual giving decreased substantially, anexpected consequence of the emphasis oncapital giving in the Centennial ExpansionProgram. Nevertheless, alumni response inthis period far exceeded the expectationsof the committee.With more than two-thirds of the Centennialpledges having becn amortized atthis date, the Alumni Fund Committee hasdeveloped an exciting new program forannual giving. The goal this year has beenset at $42,000, a sum in advance of anyattempted before, yet one which is reasonable.In his enthusiasm for the task at hand,fund chairman Dyke has already stated,"we expect to exceed the goa\."It is the hope of the committee to builda mum of 600 class agents. Many alumnihave already accepted key roles on theteam and many more are being recruiteddaily.The original idea of a Living Endowmentis as realistic today as when the expressionwas Ilrst.coined. Accor~ling to one's capacityand destra gifts vary m size. Though somealumni contribute sizable amounts annually,not all can. Yet in viewing any single contributionas the interest which would accruefrom an investment on a larger sum, onecan catch the significance of this term. Forexample, a $10 contribution represents theinterest drawn in one year from $250 at a4 percent rate of return. An endowment of$2,500 would result in a $100 gift andso forth.By the same token, the $42,000 goal for1966 represents the income Western Mary,land would receive if it had an additional$1,050,000 in the Endowment Fund. Onecan see the wide range of Opportunity sucha plan suggests.Your Alumni Fund Committee would liketo provide such an income for WesternMar~b.nd's current operating expense budgetand It is confident this can be accomplishedthis year.

The bridge is a symbol in literature-spanning old andnew, East and West, despair and hope, any number ofopposites.As the picture shows there is a three-story section ofhallways-bridges-connecting the old portion of LewisHall with the new. It may be stretching a symbol to usethe science-addition bridge, but the editor adopted itfor this issueon change.Oddly enough Lewis Hall at one time had anotherbridge. Dr. Schofieldcalled our attention to this earlierstructure which stretched between Hering and LewisHalls. In 1936it was torn down anclthe destruction wasconsidered an improvement, a move toward a moremodern campus. Hering Hall was razed several yearslater. Now we have a new bridge and it too is part ofa changing campus.In 1936 Western Maryland didn't need a bridge, in1966 it does. As Dr. Makosky has written for this issue,the College cannot stand still so perhaps in 1996 thebridge will come down again. That won't be important.The old campus no longer graces the Hill's crest butWestern Maryland College still does and will then.We discuss change in this issue, change in buildingsand people and education. And we hope THE MAG-AZINE is a bridge for readers, a bridge from what theyremembered or think they know to what is and what iscoming. Western Maryland College, we are trying tosay, must keep pace.page10m

ACADEMIC CHANGE-ANDby John D. Makosky, '25YOUR COLLEGEThe papers are full of campus conflicts, frequentlyover i.ntellectualand academic issues. Alumni seem oftento feel that colleges in general are academically muchdifferent from when they attended; often I hear questionsraised by our own graduates about the presentwestern Maryland. 1 should like to annotate a fewalumni comments for MAGAZINE readers.1) "I'd never get through college nowadays!"This plaint recognizes the increasing rigor of modernhigher education, nowhere more apparent than at westernMaryland. In many departments, the first coursesnow handle material which twenty years ago (or less)composed advanced courses. Alumni are also told of thesteady rise in entrance qualifications, and the quote atthe opening of ~hiS paragraph sometimes reads, "I'dnever get in.Of course some of this is quite true. More searchingmaterial is more rigorously taught by a generally morehighly trained instructional staff. However-bright studentsof the past were just as able as bright students ofthe present; I remember hundreds of fonner Englishmajors who would handle tcduy's rigor with no troublewhatever and I am sure the same is true in other departments.The chief change is the elimination at entranceof most of the incompetent or indifferent; thesewere the people who were dropped in bygone years.The vast majority of those who have secured the degreesince I came to Western Maryland in 1934 couldearn the present degree.2) "Admissions policies are unfair to children ofalumni."This just isn't so. An astonishing number of childrenand close relatives of alumni and former students are inthe present student body. In the last four enteringclasses, the only ones for which figures are available,the percentage of "near relatives" has risen steadily. Inthe class admitted in 1962, it was 16%;in 1963, 17%;in 1964, 19%;in 1965, 21%.The percentage of "acceptances"for near relatives is far beyond the percentagefor any other sizable group. And one should rememberthe numerous acceptances of "related" applicants who,for understandable reasons, choose to matriculate elsewhere.The Admissions Committee operates on clearly articulatedpremises, one of which is to give every break torelatives of constituents. It must be remembered that itis no kindness to admit a student who will have deeptrouble with the College's academic program. Under thepresent crowded conditions of higher education, a studentwho fails in one institution quite probably will haveno second chance. The Committee must be satisfied thatan applicant has a fair chance of success; if there is nosuch chance, admission would be an injury to the applicant'sfuture. Admittedly such a prediction is notmathematically certain, but the Committee membershiptotals many years of experience and is constantly studyingthe problems of prediction. The purposes of the Committeetoward relatives are benevolent .in the extreme.3) "Why not keep the College the way it always was?"This remark, which I hear frequently, is a bit difficultto interpret. It clearly isn't to be taken literally. As tothe physical plant, for instance: when I attended in theearly '20's, our dormitory had one toilet and no showersfor above one hundred men. No one wants to freezefacilities at that level. As to social life: in the early'20's, "parlor" (dating) lasted from after supper to 7:00P.M., when a bell tolled and girls retired behind lockeddormitory portals. Does anyone wish for a return ofthese customs?As to academics, if the remark means anything at all,it is a plea for the retention of a modestly respectablecurriculum, not too demanding teaching, and low entrancerequirements (ensuring, however, the selection ofa conservative student body mainly drawn from Protestant,Maryland, middle-class homes).Altogether aside from the desirability of "holdingsteady" in academics, the objective is flatly impossible.When I attended in the '20's, Western Maryland wasacademically inferior; when I joined the faculty in the'30's it was much improved; by now it is a very goodsmall college indeed. An institution can't stand still.The only excuse for the independent college aspreferable to state institutions is academic excellence.Aiming at mediocrity would be aiming at institutionalsuicide. In the long run the reputation of the College=nnd in some degree youI' reputation as an alumnusdependsupon the academic and personal qualities ofits graduates; in these comments 1 am concerned withthe academic qualities.The other day a department-head phoned to tell methat one of his seniors had scored 940 .in the AdvancedTest of the Graduate Record Examination. In this field720 is 99th percentile; 1 have not previously heard ofscores even approaching 940. This boy's father works ina Baltimore shipyard; the family attends a BaltimoreMethodist church. The lad attended a Baltimore Highschool, where he stood very well, but not first; his Col-pagefive

The subject in which he is majoring was histhird choice, not his first. Graduate schools are alreadycompeting for him before his Advanced Test scores becomeknown. The point is that the College made thevery best of good material drawn from its naturalconstituency.Today's environment leads to much greater sophisfica,tion at all earlier age among young people. Repeatednational crises have led to a greater seriousness amongthose capable of facing realities. Vastly strengthenedpublic schools lead to much improved competence amongcollege-bound youth. You would not want your Collegeto underrate, undervalue, or undereducate these youngpeople.This IS why the College cannot "stay as It always W,lSpage six

The Student and Changeby James E. Robinson, Jr.Despite the barbs of such noted social critics as AlCapp and Ann Landers, 'college kids of today are notso much different than those who preceded them by10 or 20 years.There are differences, but the differences are moreeasily identified and obvious in the faculty and in societythan they are in students.Berkeley agitators and the so-called Vietniks are,really, not such vile creatures when one considers justa few historical precedents. Saint Augustine was literallydriven from the University of Carthage by irate students.'Ioday's student might merely publish an unfavorableefficiencyevaluation. Students of the twenties andthirties were no less concerned or demonstrative in theirsocial concerns than today's undergraduate. The IntercollegiateSocialist Society was the bane of many a collegeadministrator before World War I. In 1934, over500,000 students conducted a peace strike. By comparison,one must wonder why an occasional march onWashington or a Vietnam teach-in causes such nationalattention.A principal factor is the changed position of highereducation in American life. Colleges are no longer theplayground for the idle-rich, and a college degree is veryserious business for almost six million students. Society'sexpectations have changed drastically and as a consequence,methods and philosophies have been devised tomeet these more comprehensive demands.If higher education is predicated on preparation forthe vocations and professions, as it largely was beforeWorld War II, then one does "furnish the young, passivemind" with the great thoughts and deeds of hisancestors. The teacher is clearly "the" authority and thestudent 'a rather docile, submissive receptor.It is believed widely today that the essential functionof formal education is social, political, and economicreform. As opposed to training and indoctrination, reasonedskepticism and intelligent inquisitiveness are emphasized.It also follows, if one holds the contemporarynotion, that the teacher is not the all-knowing authorityof yesteryear. He is the experienced "guide" who is anequal partner with the student in the never-ending searchfor truth and the good life.This approach should not he confused with the taieeezfaireapproach of the public. schools sometime ago.Present day educators do insist that the student fullyunderstand what he accepts or rejects. One must servean apprenticeship of sorts or acquire license before oneis fully free to navigate his own course. Just as thereare "stages"of physical development, there are periods ofintellectual and social growth that need to be nourished.Although the college sophomore does not know "all"about the Civil War, should this make him blind topresent day injustices? Does his adolescence disqualifyhim from being free to voice his concerns? Should thecollege restrain him from the public protests that willcertainly elicit public condemnation of the college andvery likely result in reduction of financial support?Ten or fifteen years ago, the college's course waspatently clear: keep a tight rein on "them." Panty raidsand fraternity hazing caused hardly a ripple of publicconcern, but any student agitation judged to be not inthe community's interests was certain to arouse greatindignation and the wrath of the college. Present-dayeducators, and particularly teaching faculty, outwardlyencourage student participation in the great issues of ourtime. At many institutions the concern is not that studentsare "rocking the boat" but that they are apathetic.The fact that faculty espouse a revolutionary spirit forout-of-~lass~cti~itieswhile maintaining the staid, passive,and uDlmagmativelecture system in the classroom is notso much an illustration of hypocrisy as it is a failure todevelop teaching methods that support their new philosophy.In addition to greater faculty support and leadership,'Present students have the added luxury of being relativelyfree of material needs. The previous generationwas no less endowed with idealism,but for many collegewas as much a passport from want as from ignorance.~l:e~:~i~n~t~:~~e~~i!~v~~:~:::.eqUiredrisks or pay.The life of a student activist is still not an easy one.HIS most frequent and influential critics are his parents.Many parents refuse to or cannot understand that theneeds of a generation ago (better job, security, etc.) donot have the same great influence on their sons anddaughters. In greater numbers each year students are~n~erned with the kind of world they live in, and mostslg~l~ca~tly, what they can do now to change it. TheaCtiVl~tIS not so critical of the job his elders have doneas he IS with our rather smug satisfactionwith our efforts.He.sees the sham and hypocrisy of some aspects of ourSOCIety'and is first disillusioned and then rebellious.Rather than curb such great potential for good works,colleges generally see their role as one of sympatheticsupport and guidance. The one great fear is as Sir WaIterpagesecen

Moberly wrote, "An honest intention to fight the Lord'sbattles is no guarantee against mistaken objectives orillegitimate methods of warfare."A popular college war cry has been that of commitment,yet this appears contradictory to the theme of discovery.Ifone is committed, one has found the ultimate;the search has ended. It has been said that wisdomconsistsof knowing what one does not know as much asknowingwhat one does know.The responsibilities of a scholar, student 0" otherwise,must be commensurate with his considerable andunique privileges. No other segment of our society isas free to criticize with complete immunity as is theacademic community. This is properly so and indispensableto the efforts of schools.College students must be encouraged in their effortsto seek social reform; they must be as free as any citizento expresstheir dissent on any issue. However, studentshave a responsibility to continually re-examine purpose;to modify methods to meet changed circumstances; toseriously consider consequences; and most important,develop perspective.The college must constantly guard against those whowould impose upon the right of individuals to think forthemselves.

Shortly after, hewas knocked down by a man hurrying froma trnlley and developed an abscess on thebrain, requiring several operations. Uponrelease from the hospttnl his older sisterreluctantly, but of necessity, placed him ini\ children's home. He was soon taken by acouple to their Fnrrn where he worked as afarmhandWhile living with his foster parents, myfather began attending the nearest churchan(\ took such an interest in the services thatby the time he was 18 the minister suggestedhe study for the ministry. My fatherhad not attended school since the death ofhis mother; so with funds that the ministerwas able to help him borrow he was enrolledin a prcpamtcry school. While there he didpage nine

all sorts of odd jobs such as peddling vanilla,custodian work and acting as general handy,man for the president of the school.Mter graduating from the preparatoryschool, he entered college where he remainedfor two years and then applied for and receivedappointment as minister of a church.During the early years of his ministry, myfather continued to take courses in theology.I was ten when the general depressionswept the country, These were the dayswhen many were without jobs, and thoselucky enough to have a job were very uncertainas to the amount of their salary. Minlstersfell in the latter category. Many weeksthere wasn't enough money to buy sufficientfood for the six of us. It became necessaryto cash in my father's life insurance policyin order to provide the bare necessities oflife. The real hurt came, however, when myyounger sister at the age of ten developedan illness which has continued to baffledoctors to the present day,Despite all of these hardships my parentsnever once considered forgetting their dreamof sending us to college. Rather, the nnttc,ipation of accompltshtng this goal whichthey had set for themselves seemed to keeptheir spirits buoyed.At last the long awaited year arrived. Myolder sister graduated from high school andthe folloWing fall began her freshman yearin college. My father soon realized that itwould be necessary for him to supplementhis salary and applied for and received ajob as school bus driver.The same June that my sister completedher first year in college I was graduatedfrom high school. In spite of the ministerialdiscount, my sister's student employmentduring the year, and my father's additionaljob, it had not been possible for my parentsto complete payments for that first year ofher college education. However, the immediateproblem as of that June was not howto finish paying for my sister's first year butwhere to find ten dollars with which to paymy matriculation fee. I used money I receivedas graduation gifts and by fall wewere both off to college. We always hadstudent employment and each summer weworked as waitresses.The spring I graduated from high schoolmy father was transferred to another townwhich meant that the school bus job wasno longer possible. With the consent of theparishioners, my father and mother begantaking in roomers. This proved to be a wonderfulidea since they soon found that itwas possible to rent all the rooms they couldspare. For many weeks my parents and mysister and brother still living at home slepton the floor in my father's small study,The summer before my sister was a seniorshe became quite disturbed because the billfor her first three years was not completelypaid. My mother realized she should be freefrom this worry as her senior year approachedand thought of every possible wayto obtain the necessary amount. It was Bnallydecided to refinance our secondhand car.That fall it was very evident that wewould each need a small loan, so my fatherwrote to the presiding bishop of our areaand asked if he would intercede for us. Verywillingly the bishop not only did this butsent a personal check to help us along. Avery dear aunt who was also rooting veryhard for us signed each of our notes.As my sister entered for her senior yearand I for my junior we felt that everythingwas well in hand, and it seemed to us thatwe had surmounted our greatest difficulties.Little did we dream what lay ahead.

Most fortunately for us,she was successful in finding a teachingposition for the follOWing fall.The year sped by, and almost before werealized it my graduation was upon us.

Most ofAmerica's colleges and universities are changingrapidly, and some of them drastically. Alumni andalumnae, taught for years to be loyal to good OLDSiwash and to be sentimental about its history andtraditions, are puzzled or outraged.And they are not the only DOCS making anguishedresponses to the new developments on the nation'scampuses.From a student in Texas: "The professors care lessand lessabout teaching. They don't grade our papersor exams any more, and they turn over the discussionsections of their classes to graduate students.Why can't we have mind-to-mind combat?"From a university administrator in Michigan:"The faculty and students treat this place more likea bus terminal every year. They come and go as theynever did before."From a professor at a college in Pennsylvania:"The present crop of students? They're the brightestever. They're also the most arrogant, cynical, disrespectful,ungrateful, and intense group I've taughtin 30 years."From a student in Ohio: "The whole bit on thiscampus now is about 'the needs of society,' 'theneeds of the international situation,' 'the needs ofthe lB~t system.' What about my needs?"From the dean of a college in Massachusetts:"Everything historic and sacred, everything built by2,000 years of civilization, suddenly seems old hat.Wisdom now consists in being up-to-the-minute."From a professor in New Jersey: "So help me, Ionly have time to read about 10 books a year, now.I'm always behind."From a professor at a college for women inVirginia: "What's happening to good manners?And good taste? And decent dress? Are we enteringa new age of the slob?"From a trustee of a university in Rhode Island:"They all want us to care for and support our institution,when they themselves don't give a hoot."From an alumnus of a college in California: "Noone seems to have time for friendship, good humor,and fun, now. The students don't even sing, anymore. Why, most of them don't know the collegesongs."What is happening at America's colleges anduniversities to cause such comments?

I".,"".'""""~ silentlv.unnoticej'~,signs were little ones, seemingly unconnected. Sud.denly the number of books published began to soar.That year Congress established a National ScienceFoundation to promote scientific progress througheducation and basic research. CoUege enrollments,swollen by returned war veterans with G.!. Billbenefits, refused to return to "normal"; instead, theybegan to rise sharply. Industry began to expand itsresearch facilities significantly, raiding the collegesand graduate schools for brainy talent. Facultysalaries, at their lowest since the 1930's in terms ofreal income, began to inch up at the leading colleges.China, the most populous nation in the world,fell to the Communists, only a short time after severalEastern European nations were seized by Communistcoups d'etat; and, aided by support fromseveral philanthropic foundations, there was a rushto study Communism, military problems andweapons, the Orient, and underdeveloped countries.Now, 15 years later, we have begun to comprehendwhat started then. The United States, lockedin a Cold War that may drag on for half a century,has entered a new era of rapid and unrelentingchange. The nation continues to enjoy many of thebenefits of peace, but it is forced to adopt much ofthe urgency and pressure of wartime. To meet thebold challenges from outside, Americans have hadto transform many of their nation's habits and institutions.The biggest change has been in the rate of changeitself.Life has always changed. But never in the historyof the world has it changed with such rapidity as itdoes now. Scientist ]. Robert Oppenheimer recentlyobserved: "One thing that is new is the prevalence ofnewness, the changing scale and scope of change itself,so that the world alters as we walk in it, so thatthe years of a man's life measure not some smallgrowth or rearrangement or modification of what helearned in childhood, but a great upheaval."Psychiatrist Erik Erikson has put it thus: "Today,men over 50 owe their identity as individu.als, as citizens, and as professional workers to aperiod when change had a different quality andToday's colleges and universities:when a dominant view of the world was one. ofa one-way extension into a future of proS':~lt:~progress, and reason.

And, although all levels ofschooling are feeling the pressure to change, thoseprobably feeling it the most are our colleges anduniversities.ATTHE HEART of America's shift to a newlife of constant change is a revolution in the roleand nature of higher education. Increasingly, all ofus live in a society shaped by our colleges anduniversities.From the campuses has come the expertise totravel to the moon, to crack the genetic code, andto develop computers that calculate as fast as light.From the campuses has come new informationabout Africa's resources, Latin-American economics,and Oriental politics. In the past 15 years, collegeand university scholars have produced a dozenor more accurate translations of the Bible, morethan were produced in the past 15 centuries. Universityresearchers have helped virtually to wipeout three of the nation's worst diseases: malaria,tuberculosis, and polio. The chief work in art andmusic, outside of a few large cities, is now beingdone in our colleges and universities. And profoundconcern for the U.S. racial situation, for U.S. foreignpolicy, for the problems of increasing urbanism,and for new religious forms is now being expressedby students and professors inside the academicsof higher learning.As American colleges and universi Lieshave beeninstrumental in creating a new world of whirlwindchange, so have they themselves been subjected tounprecedented pressures to change. They are differentplaces from what they were 15 years ago-insome cases almost unrecognizably different. Thefaculties are busier, the students more serious, andthe courses harder. The campuses gleam with newbuildings. While the shady-grove and paneledlibrarycolleges used to spend nearly all of theirtime teaching the young, they have now beenburdened with an array of new duties.Clark Kerr, president of the University of California,has put the new situation succinctly: "Theuniversity has become a prime instrument of nationa.lpurpose. This is new. This is the essence ofthe transformation now engulfing our universities."The colleges have always assisted the nationalpurpose by helping to produce better clergymen,farmers, lawyers, businessmen, doctors, and teachers.Through athletics, through religious and moralguidance, and through fairly demanding academicwork, particularly in history and literature, thecolleges have helped to keep a sizable portion ofthe men who have ruled America rugged, reason.ably upright and public-spirited, and informed andsensible. The problem of an effete, selfish, or ignorantupper class that plagues certain other nationshas largely been avoided in the United States.But never before have the colleges and universitiesbeen expected to fulfill so many dreams and projectsof the American people. Will we outdistance theRussians in the space race? It depends on the caliber

of scientists and engineers that our universities producc.Will we find a cure for cancer, for arthritis,for the common cold? It depends upon the facultiesand the graduates of our medical schools. Will westop the Chinese drive for world dominion? It dependsheavily on the pclirica l experts the. uuiversitiesturn out and on the military weapons thatuniversity research helps develop. Will we be ableto maintain our high standard of living and to avoiddepressions? It depends upon whether [he universitiescan supply business and government with invernive,imaginative, farsighted persons and ideas.Will we be able to keep human values alive in ourmachine-filled world? Look to college philosophersand poets. Everyone, it seems-from the impoverishedbut aspiring Negro to the mother who wantsher children to be emotionally healthy-sees the collegeand the university as a deliverer, today.Thus it is no exaggeration to say that colleges anduniversities have become one of our greatest resourcesin the cold war, and one of our greatestassets in the uncertain peace. America's schoolshave taken a new place at the center of society.Ernest Sir-luck, dean of graduate studies at theUniversity of Toronto, has said: "The calamities ofrecent history have undermined the prestige andauthority of what used La be (he great central institutionsof society. .. Many people have turned tothe universities ... in the hope of finding, throughthem, a renewed or substitute authority in life."TNEW PRESSURES to serve the nation inan ever-expanding variety of ways have wrought astunning transformation in most American collegesand universities.For one thing, they look different, compared with15 years ago. Since 1950, American colleges anouniversities have spent about $16.5 billion on newbuildings. One third of the entire higher educationplant in the United States is less than 15 years old.More than 180 completely new campuses are nowbeing built or planned.Scarcely a college has not added at least onebuilding to its plant; most have added three, four,or more. (Science buildings, libraries, and dormitorieshave been the most desperately needed addi-New responsibilitiesare traniformingonce-quiet campusestions.) Their architecture and placement havemoved some alumni and students to howls of protest,and others to expressions of awe and delight.The new construction is required largely becauseof the startling growth in the number of youngpeople wanting. to go [Q college. In 1950, therewere about 2.2 million undergraduates, or roughly18 percent of all Americans between 18 and 21years of age. This academic year, 1965-66, thereare about 5.4 million undcrgraduaces-c-a whopping30 percent of the 18-21 age group ." The total numbel'of college students in the United States hasmore chan doubled in a mere decade and a half.As tWO officials of the American Council on Educationpointed out, not long ago: "It is apparent[hat a permanent revolution in collegiate patternshas occurred, and that higher education has becomeand will continue to be rhe common trainingground for American adult life. rather than theprovince of a small, select portion of society."Of todav's 5.4 million undergraduates, One inevery five attends a kind of college that barelyexisted before World War II-the junior, or Community,college. Such colleges now comprise nearlyone third of America's 2,200 institutions of highe;'education. In California, where community collegeshave become an integral part of the higher educationscene, 84 of every 100 freshmen and sophomorelastyear were enrolled in this kind of institution. By1975, estimates the U.S. Office of Education, onein every two students, nationally, \\ill attend atwo-year college.Graduate schools are growing almost as fast."The pcrct"n1ngl'is sometimes qucreu as b,.ing much hi~h",. becauseit is assumed that ncar-lvall unu.:rl

Higher education'spatterns are changing;so are its leadersWhile only 11 percent of America's college graduateswent on to graduate work in 1950, about 25percent will do so after their commencement in1966. At one insti tution, over 85 percent of therecipients of bachelor's degrees now continue theireducation at graduate and professional schools.Some institutions, once regarded primarily as undergraduateschools, now have more graduate studentsthan undergraduates. Across America, another phenomenonhas occurred: numerous state collegeshave added graduate schools and become universities.There are also dramatic shifts taking place amongthe various kinds of colleges. It is often forgottenthat 877, or 40 percent, of America's colleges anduniversities are related, in one way or another, withreligious denominations (Protestant, 484; Catholic,366; others, 27). But the percentage of the nation'sstudents that the church-related institutions enrollhas been dropping fast; last year they had 950,000undergraduates, or only 18 percent of the total.Sixty-nine of the church-related colleges have fewerthan 100 students. Twenty percent lack accreditanon,and another 30 percent are considered to beacademically marginal. Partially this is becausethey have been unable to find adequate financialsupport. A Danforth Foundation commission onchurch colleges and universities noted last spring:"The irresponsibility of American churches in providingfor their institutions is deplorable. The averagecontribution of churches to their colleges is only12.8 percent of their operating budgets."Church-related colleges have had to contendwith a growing secularization in American life, withthe increasing difficulty of locating scholars with areligious commitment, and with bad planning fromtheir sponsoring church groups. About planning,the Danforth Commission report observed: IINo one~ag:;~~ti~:he operation of four Presbyterian. co 1 -fi . a, three Methodist colleges in Indiana,~e Umted Presbyterian institutions in Missouri,~tne Methodist colleges in North Carolina (includ-~:fl;w~ ~~~~new o.nes), and three Roman CatholicA;other i omen In Mi:waukee." .the chan in mpo.r~ant Shlf~ among the colleges I~r' g g POSItionof private institutions, as pubIas Institutions grow in size and number at a l11u che~S:~~I;~t~~In .1950, 50 percent of all students ~.... er:colle ' pfl~ate colleges; this year, the prt vat .h ges share IS only 33 percent.

y, but 15 years ago there were roughly 120,000Negroes in college, 70 percent of them in predominantlyNegro institutions; last year, according towhitney Young, Jr., executive director of theNational Urban League, there were 220,000 Negroesin college, but only 40 percent at predorninamlyNegro institutions.enrolled in the non-public colleges and universities.Other changes are evident: More and more studentsprefer urban colleges and universities to ruralones; now, for example, with more than 400,000students in her colleges and universities, America'sgreatest college town is metropolitan New York.Coeducation is gaining in relation to the all-rnen'sand the all-wornen's colleges. And many predominantlyNegro colleges have begun to worry abouttheir future. The best Negro students are soughtafter by many leading colleges and universities, andeach year more and more Negroes enroll at integratedinstitutions. Precise figures are hard to comeTREMARKABLE GROWTH in the number ofstudents going to college and the shifting patternsof college attendance have had great impact on theadministrators of the colleges and universities. Theyhave become, at many institutions, a new breedof men.Not too long ago, many college and universitypresidents taught a course or two, wrote importantpapers on higher education as well as articles andbooks in their fields of scholarship, knew most ofthe faculty intimately, attended alumni reunions,and spoke with heartiness and wit at student dinners,Rotary meetings, and football rallies, Nowmany presidents are preoccupied with planningtheir schools' growth and with the crushing job offinding the funds to make such growth possible.Many a college or university president today is,above all else, a fund-raiser, If he is head of a privateinstitution, he spends great amounts of timesearching for individual and corporate donors; if heleads a public institution, he adds the task of legislativerelations, for it is from the legislature that thebulk of his financial support must come.With much of the rest of his rime, he is involvedin economic planning, architectural design, personnelrecruitment for his faculty and staff and curriculumchanges. (Curriculums have been changingalmost as substantially as the physical facilities,because the explosion in knowledge has been assizable as the explosion in college admissions. Wholenew fields such as biophysics and mathematicaleconomics have sprung up; traditional fields haveexpanded to include new topics such as comparativeethnic music and the history of film; and topicsthat once were touched on lightly, such as Orientalstudies or oceanography, now require extendedtreatment.)To cope with his vastly enlarged duties, the mod-

Many professors are research-minded specialistsern college or university president has often had todouble or triple his administrative staff since 1950.Positions that never existed before at most institutions,such as campus architects, computer programmers,government liaison officials, and deansof financial aid, have sprung up. The number ofinstitutions holding membership in the AmericanCollege Public Relations Association, to cite onlyone example, has risen from 591 in 1950 to morethan 1,000 this year-including nearly 3,000 individualworkers in the public relations and fundraisingfield.A whole new profession, that of the college "developmentofficer," has virtually been created inthe past 15 years to help the president, who is usuallya transplanted scholar, with the twin problemsof institutional growth and fund-raising. Accordingto Eldredge Hiller, executive director of the AmericanAssociation of Fund-Raising Counsel, "I n 1950very few colleges and uni versities, except those inthe Ivy League and scattered wealthy institutions,had directors or vice presidents of development.Now there are very few institutions of higher learningthat do not." In addition, many schools thathave been faced with the necessity of special developmentprojects or huge capital campaigns havesought expertise and temporary personnel from outsidedevelopment consultants. The number of majorfirms in this field has increased from 10 to 26 since1950, and virtually every firm's staff has growndramatically over the years.Many alumni, faculty members, and studentswho have watched the president's suite of officesexpand have decried the "growing bureaucracy."What was once "old President Doe" is now "TheAdministration," assailed on aU sides as a driving,impersonal, remote organization whose purposesand procedures are largely alien to the traditionalworld of academe.No doubt there is some truth to such charges. Intheir pursuit of dollars to raise faculty salaries andto pay [or better facilities, a number of top officialsat America's COlleges and universities have hadinsufficient time for educational problems, and somehave been more concerned with business efficiencythan with producing intelligent, sensible humanbeings. However, no one has yet suggested how"prexy" can be his old, sweet, leisurely, scholarlyself and also a dynamic, farsighted administrato~who can successfully meet the new challenges a.unprecedented, radical, and constant change.One president in the Midwest recently said: "Theengineering faculty wants a nuclear reactor. Thearts faculty needs a new theater. The students wantnew dormitories and a bigger psychiatric consultingoffice. The alumni want a better faculty and a newgymnasium. And they all expect me to producethese out of a single office with one secretary and asmall filing cabinet, while maintaining friendly contactswith them all. I need a magic lantern."Another president, at a small college in NewEngland, said: "The faculty and students claimthey don't see much of me any more. Same havebecame vituperative and others have wondered if Ireally still care about them and the learning process.I was a teacher for 18 years. I miss them-and myscholarly work-terribly."T_.~."-o,~",,_""changed almost as much as the administrators', Ifnot mare, in the new period of rapid growth andradical change.For the mast part, scholars are no longer rcga~edas ivory-tower dreamers, divorced from SOciety.They are now important, even indispensable, rr:~nand women, holding keys to international sectln y,economic growth, better health, and cultural e~cellence.For the first time in decades, most of rheirsalaries are approaching respectability. (The nationalaverage of facul ty salaries has risen from$5,311 in 1950 to $9,317 in 1965, accord.in~:0:Csurvey conducted by the American AssociatwUniversity Professors.) The best of them are pursuedby business, government, and oth~r coll:~~~They travel frequently to speak at national rba nferences on modern music or contemporary u

problems, and to international conferences on particlephysics or literature.In the classroom, they are seldom the professors ofthe past: the witty, cultured gentlemen and ladiesortedious pedants-who know Greek, Latin, French,literature, art, music, and history fairly well. Theyare now earnest, expert specialists who know algebraicgeometry or international monetary economics-and not much more than that-cxceediug£y well.Sensing America's needs, a growing number ofthem are attracted to research, and many prefer itto teaching. And those who are not auracted areoften pushed by an academic "rating system"which, in effect, gives its highest rewards and promotionsto people who conduct research and writeabout the results they achieve. "Publish or perish"is the professors' succinct, if somewhat overstated,way of describing how the system operates.Since many of the scholars-and especially theyoungest instructors-are more dedicated and "focused"than their predecessors of yesteryear, theallegiance of professors has to a large degree shiftedfrom their college and university to their academicdiscipline. A radio-astronomer first, a Siwash professorsecond, might be a fair way of putting it.There is much talk about giving control of theuniversities back to the faculties, but there are strongindications that, when the opportunity is offered,the faculty members don't want it. Academic decision-makinginvolves committee work, elaborate investigations,and lengthy deliberations-time awayfrom their laboratories and books. Besides, manyprofessors fully expect to move soon, to anothercollege or to industry or government, so why botherabout the curriculum or rules of student conduct?Then, too, some of them plead an inability to takepart in broad decision-making since they are expertin only one limited area. "I'm a geologist," said oneprofessor in the West. "What would I know aboutadmissions policies or student demonstrations?"Professors have had to narrow their scholarly interestschiefly because knowledge has advanced to apoint where it is no longer possible to master morethan a tiny portion of it. Physicist Randall Whaley,who is now chancellor of the University of Missouriat Kansas City, has observed: "There is about100 times as much to know now as was availablein 1900. By the year 2000, there will be over1,000 times as much." (Since 1950 the number ofscholarly periodicals has increased from 45,000 to

95,000. In science alone, 55,000 journals, 60,000books, and 100,000 research monographs are p~blishedannually.) In such a situation, fragmentationseems inevitable.Probably the most frequently heard cry abo~tprofessors nowadays, even at the smaller colleges, LSthat they are so research-happy that they neglectteaching. "Our present universities have ceased to beschools," one graduate student complained in theHarvard Educational Review last spring. Similar-chargeshave stirred pulses at American colleges and universitiescoast to coast, for the past few years.No one can dispute the assertion that researchhas grown. The fact is, it has been getting more andmore attention since the end of the NineteenthCentury, when several of America's leading universitiestried to break away from the English collegetradition of training clergymen and gentlemen,primarily through the classics, and to move towardthe German university tradition of rigorous scholarshipand scientific inquiry. But research has proceededat runaway speed since 1950, when theFederal Government, for military, political, economic,and public-health reasons, decided to supportscientific and technological research in a majorway. In 1951 the Federal Government spent $295million in the colleges and universities for researchand development. By 1965 that figure had grownto $1.7 billion. During the same period, privatephilanthropic foundations also increased their supportsubstantially.At bottom, the new emphasis on research is dueto the university'S becoming "a prime instrumentof national purpose," one of the nation's chief meansof maintaining supremacy in a long-haul cold war.The emphasis is not likely to be lessened. And moreand more colleges and universities will feel itseffects.BUT WHATABOUTeducation=sue teachingof young people-that has traditionally been thebasic aim of our institutions of higher learning?Many scholars contend, as one university presidentput it, that "current research commitmentsare far more of a positive aid than a detriment toteaching," because they keep teachers vital and atThe push to do research:Does it affect teaching?the forefront of knowledge. "No one engaged in researchin his field is going to read decade-old lecturenotes to his class, as many of the so-called 'greatprofessors' of yesterday did," said a teacher at a universityin Wisconsin.Others, however, see grave problems resultingfrom the great emphasis on research. For one thing,they argue, research causes professors to spend lesstime with students. It also introduces a disturbingnote of competitiveness among the faculty. Onephysicist has put it this way:"I think my professional field of physics is gettingtoo hectic, too overcrowded; there is roc much pressurefor my taste .... Research is done under tremendouspressure because there are so many peopleafter the same problem that one cannot afford torelax. If you arc working on something which 10other groups are working on at the same time, andyou take a week's vacation, the others beat youand publish first. So it is a mad race."Heavy research, others argue, may cause professorsto concentrate narrowly on their disciplin.eand to see their students largely in relation to Italone. Numerous observers have pointed to theprofessors' shift to more demanding instruction, butalso to their more technical, pedantic teachi~g.They say the emphasis in teaching may be movingfrom broad understanding to factual knowledg~,from community and world problems 10 each discipl~ne'stasks, from the releasing of young people'sminds to the cramming of their minds \.... ith the stoffof each subject. A professor in Louisiana has said,"In modern college teaching there is much moreof the 'how' than the 'why.' Values and fundamentalsare too interdisciplinary."And, say the critics, research focuses attention onthe new, on the frontiers of knowledse and tends to~orget the history of a subject or :h~tradition. ofl~tellectual inquiry. This has wrought havoc Withliberal arts education, which seeks to introduceyoung people to the modes, the achievements, the

DRA WINGS BY ARNO STERNGLASSconsequences, and the difficulties of intellectual inquiryin Western civilization. Professor MaureGoldschmidt, of Oregon's Reed College, has said:"The job of a liberal arts college is to pass onthe heritage, not to push the frontiers. Once you getinto the competitive research market, the demandsbecome incompatible with good teaching."Another professor, at a university in Florida, hassaid:"Our colleges are supposed to train intelligentcitizens who will use knowledge wisely, not justintellectual drones. To do this, the colleges mustconvey to students a sense of where we've comefrom, where we are now, and where we are goingaswell as what it all means-and not just informthem of the current problems of research in eachfield."

Somewhat despairingly, Professor Jacques Barzunrecently wrote:"Nowadays the only true believers in the liberalarts tradition are the men of business. They rfallyprefer general intelligence, literacy, and adaptability.They know, in the first place, that the conditionsof their work change so rapidly that no collegecourses can prepare for them. And they alsoknow how often men in mid-career suddenly feelthat their work is not enough to sustain theirspirits."Many college and university teachers readily admitthat they may have neglected, more than theyshould, the main job of educating the young. Butthey just as readily point out that their role ischanging, that the rate of accumulation of knowledgeis accelerating madly, and that they are extremelybusy and divided individuals. They alsonote that it is through research that more money,glory, prestige, and promotions are best attainedin their profession.For some scholars, research is also where thehighest excitement and promise in education are tobe found. "With knowledge increasing so rapidly,research is the only way to assure a teacher thathe is keeping ahead, that he is aware of the reallynew and important things in his field, that he can bean effective teacher of the next generation," says oneadvocate of research-cum-instruction. And, for some,research is the best way they know to serve thenation. "Aren't new ideas, more information, andnew discoveries most important to the United Statesif we are to remain free and prosperous?" asks a professorin the Southwest. "We're in a protracted warwith nations that have sworn to bury us."TSTUDENTS, of course, are perplexed bythe new academic scene.They arrive at college having read the cataloguesand brochures with their decade-old paragraphsabout "the importance of each individual" and"the many student-faculty relationships" c-and hav,ing heard from alumni some rosy stories about theleisurely, friendly, pre-war days at Quadrangle U.On some campuses, the reality almost lives up tothe expectations. But on others, the students are

The students reactto "the system" withfierce independencedismayed to discover that they are treated as merelyparts of another class (unless they are geniuses, starathletes, or troublemakers), and that the facultyand deans arc extremely busy. For administrators,faculty, and alumni, at least, accommodating to thenew world of radical change has been an eV81utionaryprocess, to which they have had a chance toadjust somewhat gradually; to the students, arrivingfresh each year, it comes as a severe shock.Forced to look after themselves and gather broadunderstanding outside of their classes, they formtheir own community life, with their own valuesand methods of self-discovery. Piqued by apparentadult indifference and cut off from regular Contactswith grown-up dilemmas, they tend to become moreoutspoken, more irresponsible, more independent.Since the amount of financial aid for students hastripled since 1950, and since the current conditionof American society is one of affluence, many studentscan be independent in expensive ways: twistparties in Florida, exotic cars, and huge record collections.They lend to become more sophisticatedabout those things that they are left to deal with alltheir own: travel, religion, recreation, sex, politics.Partly as a reaction to what they consider to beadult dedication to narrow, selfish pursuits, andpartly in imitation of their professors, they havebecome more international-minded and sociallyconscious. Possibly one in 10 students in somecolleges works off-campus in community serviceprojects-c-tuton ng the poor, fixing up slum dwellings,or singing and acting for local charities. To theconsternation of many adults, some students havebecome a force for social change, far away fromtheir colleges, through the Peace Corps in Boliviaor a picket line in another state. Pressured to bebrighter than any previous generation, they fight to

feel as uSf:ful as any previous generation. A studentfrom Iowa said: "I don't want to study, study,study, just to fill a hole in some government orindustrial bureaucracy."The students want to work out a new style ofacademic life, just as administrators and facultymembers are doing; but they don't know quitehow, as yet. They are burying the rah-rah stuff, butwhat is to take its place? They protest vociferouslyagainst whatever they don't like, but tl~ey have noprogram of reform. Restless, an increaSIng. numb~rof them change colleges at least once during rheirundergraduate careers. They are like the two charactersin Jack Kerouac's 01/ the Road. "We got to~o Iand never stoP. till we get there," says o~;.\t\ here are we gOing, man?" asks the other. Idon't know, but we gotta go," is the answer.As with any group in swift transition, the studentsare often painfully confused and contradictory. ANewsweek poll last year that asked students whomthey admired most found that many said "Nobody"or gave names like Y. A. Tittle or Joan Baez. It isno longer rare to find students on some campusesdressed in an Ivy League button-down shirt, farmer'sdungarees, a French beret, and a Roman beard~all at once. They argue against large hureaccrecies,but most turn to the industrial giants, not. tosmaller companies or their own business ventures,

The alumnilament: We don't Tecognizethe placewhen they look for jobs after graduation. They arecritical of religion, but they desperately seek people,courses, and experiences that can reveal some meaningto them. An instructor at a university in Connecticutsays: "The chapel is fairly empty, but thereligion courses are bulging with students."Caught in the rapids of powerful change, andleft with only their own resources to deal with therush, the students tend to feel helpless-often toomud). so. Sociologist David Riesman has noted:"The students know that there are many decisionsout of their conceivable control, decisions uponwhich their lives and fortunes truly depend. But.this truth, this insight, is over-generalized, and,being believed, it becomes more and more 'true'."Many students, as a result, have become grumblersand cynics, and some have preferred to withdrawinto private pads or into early marriages. However,there are indications that some students are learninghow to be effective-if only, so far, through thelargely negative methods of disruption.IF THE FACULT", AND THE "UDENTS ace poc·plexed and groping, the alumni of many Americancolleges and universities are positively dazed. Everythingthey have revered for years seems to be crumbling:college spirit, fraternities, good manners,freshman customs, colorful lectures, singing, humormagazines and reliable student newspapers, longtalks and walks with professors, daily chapel, dinnersby candlelight in formal dress, reunions thatare fun. As one alumnus in Tennessee said, "Theykeep asking me to give money to a place I no longerrecognize." Assaulted by many such remarks, onedevelopment officer in Massachusetts countered:"Look, alumni have seen America and the worldchange. When the old-timers went to school therewere no television sets, few cars and fewer airplanes,no nuclear weapons, and no Red China. Whyshould colleges alone stand still? It's partly ourfault, though. We traded too long on sentimentrather than information, allegiance, and purpose."What some alumni are beginning to realize isthat they themselves are changing rapidly. Owingtothe recent expansion of enrollments, nearly onehalf of all alumni and alumnae now are personswho have been graduated since 1')50, when theperiod of accelerated change began. At a numberof colleges, the song-and-revels homecomings havebeen turned into seminars and discussions aboutspace travel or African politics. And at some institutions,alumni councils are being asked La advise onand, in some cases, to help determine parts ofcollege policy.Dean David B.Truman, of New York's ColumbiaCollege, recently contended that alumni are goingto have to learn to play an entirely new role l.is-(Hlistheir alma rnaters. The increasingly mobile life ofmost scholars, many administrators, and a growingnumber of students, said t.he dean, means that, ifanyone is to continue to have a deep concern lor thewhole life and future of each institution, "that focusincreasingly must come from somewhere outsidethe once-collegial body of the faculty"-namely,from the alumni.However, even many alumni are Finding it harderto develop strong attachments to one college oruniversity. Consider the person who goes to, say,Davidson College in North Carolina, gets a lawdegree from the Univcrsi tyof Virginia, marriesagirlwho was graduated from VVelJesley,and settles inAlbuquerque, New Mexico, where he pays taxesto help support the stale university. (I le pays Federaltaxes, too, part of which goes, through Governmentgrants and con u-acL

some colleges and universities are now discardingthe whole idea of statements of purpose, regardingtheir main task as one of remaining open-ended toaccommodate the rapid changes. "There is no single'end' to be discovered," says California's ClarkKerr. Many administrators and professors agree.But American higher education is sufficiently vastand varied to house many-especially those at smallcolleges or church-related institutions-who differwith this view.What alumni and alumnae will have to find, aswill everyone connected with higher education, aresome new norms, some novel patterns of behaviorby which to navigate in this new, constantly innovatingsociety.For the alumni and alumnae, then, there must bean ever-fresh outlook. They must resist the inclinationto howl ateverydeparture that their alma matermakes from the good old days. They need to see theiralma mater and its role in a new light. To remindprofessors about their obligations to teach studentsin a stimulating and broadening manner may be acontinuing task for alumni; but to ask the facultyto return to pre-1950 habits of leisurely teachingand counseling will be no service to the new academicworld.In order to maintain its greatness, to keep ahead,America must innovate. To innovate, it must conductresearch. Hence, research is here to stay. Andso is the new seriousness of purpose and the intensityof academic work that today is so widespread onthe campuses,Alumni could become a greater force for keepingalive at Our universities and colleges a sense of joy,a knowledge of Western traditions and values, aquest for meaning, and a respect for individual persons,especially young persons, against the mountingpressures for sheer work, new findings, mere facts,and bureaucratic depersonalization. In a period ofradical change, they could press for some enduringvalues amidst the flux. In a period focused on thenew, they could remind the colleges of the v.rtuesof teaching about the past.But they can do this only if they recognize theexistence of rapid change as a new factor in the Iifeof the nation's colleges; if they ask, "How and whatkind of change?" and not, ,. WI!)' change?" ,"It isn't easy," said an alumnus from Utah. "It slike asking a farm boy to get used to riding anescalator all day long." .One long-time Observer, the editor of a distlnguishedalumni magazine, has put it this way:"We-all of Us-need an entirely new conceptof higher education, Continuous, rapid change isnow inevitable and normal If we recognize thatQUI' colleges from now on will be perpetually changing,but not in inexorable patterns, we shall be ableto control the direction of change more intelligently.And we Can learn to accept our colleges on a whollynew basis as centers of Our loyalty and affection,"The report on this and the preceding 15pages is the product of a cooperative endeavorin which scores of schools, colleges,and universities are taking part.

Throughouthis career he never lost more than twomatches in a season and teamed with HenryTate, '55, to defeat opponent after opponentin doubles competition. On other fronts,Wray was president of the SCA, chairmanof the Men's Coundl and a history-educationmajor.Wmy's coaching experience comes frominstructing tennis in summer recreation programs.As a result he claims that he hasnever gotten out of condition.

Moving into the 160-pound division this year, Bob turned insome creditable perfonnances-including atough, well-fought 0-9 loss at the hands ofnational champ Joe Bavaro of Gettysburg_and compiled a 3-0-2 log in the Mason-Dixon circuit. His chances for a tournamentcoup, however, were nipped in the budwhen he suffered a to:n rib cartilage midwaythrough the proceedings, bringing his collegiatecareer to an abrupt halt.The performance of the "fearsome foursome"and indeed that of all of the Greenand Cold grapplers spoke well for the outstandingseason-long efforts of the vigorousyoung mentor Sam Case, '63.For the Terror mntmen the tourney cappeda season which Coach Case recently called"excellent."

The President's ColumnExpansion Program ProgressIt bas been some time since I have used this column toreport on the progress of our Centennial ExpansionBuilding program, and as the end of the college yearapproaches it might be well to bring our alumni andother interested readers of THE MAGAZINE up to date.As has been reported earlier the first step, the new enlargedoil-fired Power House with sufficient ca~acity ~oserve both the present buildings and those projected mthe expansion program, was completed and put in operationin the spring of 1965 at a cost of $261,000. Thisis located on Union Street adjacent to the old coal-firedplant, which is still available for emergencies.The second step, the new science wing to Lewis Hall,was completed this spring at a cost of $956,395,and duringthis second semester the departments. of. Biolog~,Chemistry and Mathematics have been moving mto thennew facilities, and thoroughly enjoying them. The newwing will be calJed the Lewis Hall of Science to distinguishit from, and yet relate it to, the older LewisRecitation Hall to which it is joined by glass enclosedpassageways on all three upper floors. The dedication ofthe Lewis Hall of Science will be held on the morningof Homecoming next fall, Saturday, October 15. Duringthe summer major alterations and renovations will bemade in the older building, so that by the time of theDedication all of our science facilities will be in firstclasscondition (we hopei).All of this construction cost to date, totaling approximately$1,158,000, has been completely paid for fromcollege funds received through the Centennial ExpansionBuilding Fund and the Urgent Needs Crusade ofThe Methodist Church. The Lewis Hall of Science iseligible for a federal grant amounting to one-third itscost. Our application is in the final stages of governmentreview and should be forthcoming before too long. Thiswill then repay Our Plant Fund for monies already expendedand become available for the next steps in theexpansion program-the dormitories, dining hall, swimmingpool and the renovation of Memorial Hall for totalclassroom usage.The progress toward these additional phases of theprogram will be reported in the next issue of THEMAGAZINE.Lm.VELL S.

"Litemcy class in a pig pen" is how Joy Holloway captioned this photo.Service, Commencement,CrecerThere are not many millionaires among 'Western Mary,land alumni but there are a lot of people who are wealthyin more important ways. It is almost a cliche to say thatWestern Marylanders are more interested in service.Teaching, the ministry, missionary work, medicine, governmentresearch and projects-all of these seem particularlyattractive to those from the Hill.Students have become more involved in service, too.50S is growing; teams have helped in Baltimore's innercity and in voter registration in Virginia. The PeaceCorps continues to attract graduates-members of theclass of 1966 have been accepted for training.An editorial this winter in The Gold Bug referred tothe Spanish word crecer "which means to grow out of,to develop from within and connotes the responsibilityof the person or thing in question to establish andstrengthen itself. " The editor, David Carrasco, whowrites sports for this publication, went on to say that "aperson is not alive if he doesn't extend his own. inne~life be~ol1(lthe confinesof his background.

Sally Reinecke chats with students at the Girls School in Lodsa, Congo (1959).CONGO TEACHERby Sarah Reinecke, '31The "ekuli," the talking drum of the Otetela tribe inCentral Congo, beats every morning Monday throughSaturday at 7:45 in Luluabourg, Republic of the Congo.Its message says, "Al1umtu wa tecoie, nyuyi tshe landioto kalasa. Nyushidiya ulimu anyu, nkeleka Cukuki.Nyllyi la nttmdu dia ntotemola- Nzambi ne dia etsllOkoanytt tshe" . which means, "Women of the school,come to class. Finish the work that you are doing, fastenthe gate and come to class. Come 6rst to praise andthank God for all of your blessings." This drumbeat announcesto 14 Congolese women that the classes of theInstitut Menager Protestant (Woman's Leadership TrainingSchool) will begin in 15 minutes.The Institut is located in a very pretty residential sectionof the small city of Luluabourg. One has a feeling ofhappiness upon entering the Institut. All along the fencewhich encircles the grounds are planted fed poinsettias,which have grown almost as high as the fence. In therainy season, old-fashioned flower beds of zinnias, marigolds,larkspur and scarlet sage bloom profusely in rich,gay colors under the warm Congo sun. Even in the dryseason, lush bushes of bougainvillea in red, orange andpurple flourish without a drop of rain.The students attending this school are Christian womenchosen by their district councils. They are women whonot only want to learn, but who have a deep desire topagefive

share with others what they have learned. When theyreturn to their respective districts, they organize women'sschools in their areas.The women arise at 5:30 a.m., for they have manyduties to perform before their daily classes begin. Theynot only are responsible for keeping their bedrooms clean;they also share in other duties of the school, such ascooking, washing the dishes, cleaning the classroom,dining room and kindergarten, and taking care of thechickens. Each mother has brought one child, and so inaddition to these duties, she has to attend to its needs.Classes include Bible, Christian family life, child careand training, hygiene, leadership training, housekeepingand agriculture. In her sewing and knitting classes, shelearns how to make clothes for all the members of hertalking with many husbands who said that they -iakeeager for their wives to come and that they could rna esatisfactory arrangements while their wives were awayfrom home. 1The folIowing lettter gives an idea of ~ow Con~~~~husbands feel concerning this matter. It IS fromJoseph, director of Methodist rural schools in Kindll: .."1am very happy to know that ~h~ church waF;; ~~~wives to learn how to make Christian homes dfamilies.

Her cooking classes include nutrition and interestingways of cooking food that is available in herlocality.She has found that she can make golden, crisp pancakesby grating the root of sweet manioc, adding choppedonion and an egg, and frying them in palm oil. From thegrated manioc, she also makes starch which she can useto cook a pudding, or to starch her husband's shirt orthe children's clothes. She learns how to make breadcake and biscuits, and how to bake them in an improvisedoven, using a kettle over a charcoal fire.Before the Institute was opened, there was a concernthat the husbands of prospective students would objectto their wives leaving home for the four months' periodwhich the course requires.

Thie is the Trapper Creek Job Corps Conservation Center in tile Bitterroot National Forest near Darby, Montana.It's My World, Tooby Richard B. Palmer, '59When they stepped off the bus into the snow at Catoctinthey were ill-clothed, rotten toothed, emaciatedlooking and most important very scared. Someone hadtold them that this was a last chance to become somebody.Who were they? The first 30 Job Corps youths toenter that phase of the War On Poverty.Early in 1964 Congress passed the Economic OpportunityAct which included as one of its programs theJob Corps. Job Corps is a residential type programwhich involves young men and women between the agesof 16 and 21, young men and women who are in someway deprived; socially, economically, culturally or educationally.For the past 19 months I have had the opportunity towork with the Job Corps program. At no time in myshort life have I been more inspired, educated, ortotally involved than during this period. I have seen 18-year-old high school dropouts who had been functionallyilliterate beam with excitement over being able to readthe sentence, "I am an ant."The Job Corps has two basic kinds of residential centers;Conservation and Urban. Rurally situated on governmentowned lands such as parks and forests, the JobCorps Conservation Centers are for 16-21-year-oldmenonly. The first Center, which is located at Catoctin,Maryland, opened in January of 1965. We now have 80such Centers and are expecting to open 8 more in thenear future.Each Center has from 120 to 270 boys of all races andethnic backgrounds who live together 24 hours a day,7 days a week. The corpsmen spend approximately 50percent of their eight-hour day doing Conservation worksuch as building- picnic tables,. clearing trails, buildingpark roads, rehabilitating wild game refuges and creatingnew areas for recreation purposes.The other part of their work day is spent in basiceducation. The two areas most stressed in education arereading and math. Instruction materials are programmedand each corpsman finds himself in competition with noone except himself. This has upset many of these boys atfirst,but they soon find that personal drive and individualsuccess are more important than beating out the nextguy. Through the basic education and work programs,the Conservation Centers attempt to enable a corpsmanto become more employable, not just getting a job, butholding one. They are supported in this task by theRecreation, Vocation, Counseling and Driver EducationPrograms.The staff who work with the corpsmen have beenrecruited from all over the country. Their number variesfrom center to center from 32 to 57, and the resourceswhich each brings to a center has to be tapped and usedextensively. Their education and work experiences varygreatly, but they all have one thing in common; theywant to work with kids in a personal way.Every center has a director and an administrative staffwhich takes care of the center operation, logistics andclerical activities. In addition to the above there are aneducation staff, work program staff, and enrollee activitiesor group living staff. In the Centers, we have realizedthat every staff member is an instructor and counselor.The corpsmen need, want, require and ask for the timerespect and attention of the staff. The result has been astrenuous one-year period in which many staff havepageseven

worked 70 to 80 hours per week separated from theirfamilies. They have enjoyed tremendous Success, selfsatisfactionand found the desire to continue.The other type of Job Corps Centers are located in orIf we are successful with our educational programs, i~is our hope to affect in some way the future educationapatt~rn fo~ youth.

BOLIVIAPIONEER(S)by Joy Holloway, '65"Everybody knows Bolivia is somewherein the middle of South America where thereare revolutions and tribesmen who shrinkyour head into a little-bitty thing and llamasand Indian women wearing derby hats andimpossible mountains wrought by the wrathof God and no drinking water and going tothe bathroom in the street."And everybody knows that missionariesin such places are tight-lipped, sallowfacedpeople who wear old clothes shippedfrom the States and spend their lives tryingto teach primitives how to sing 'OnwardChristian Soldiers.' ."Everybody knows that."But newspaper reporter Kays Gary fromNorth Carolina changed his tuue after he'dbeen in Bolivia a few weeks." .. but the talk was that missionariescan't peddle religion as a tranquilizer todeaden responsibility to social and civicduties."The talk was that religion is not an institutionbut a dynamic encounter that won'tallow rest while human values are neglected."We looked around for the tight-lippedpiety and sallow faces. We waited for somebodyto sing 'Onward Christian Soldiers.'.. ."But nobody sang. They didn't peddlepiety, just worked-recuse hymns wouldn'thelp the kids with the hungry eyes andbloated stomachs. So reported Gary uponreturn to the States.BOLIVIA - "Land of Decision" - at thebottom of the heap economically, at the toppotentially IF-the big "if.""Bolivia must certainly be classed amongthe backward and undeveloped regions ofthe world; yet few countries have been endowedby nature with such an abundantdiversity of essential raw materials." (H.Osbourne, Bolivia - Land Divided) Problems- exploitation, communications, illiteracy,social inequality, and the lists go onand on and on.After a few tense hours in a conference room at 475Riverside Drive in New York City in the spring of '65,I was informed of my destination to Bolivia for the nextthree years as a member of a "team"-something excitinglydifferent in the field of Christian witness abroad.No institutions, no "ghettoizing," living AMONG thepeople, same salary as a Bolivian pastor ($10 a week),no funds from home, six North Americans and six Boliviansforming a Christian community. Perhaps these wouldbe some answers to the crv for new structures in missions.So it was that six North Americans and six Bolivianscame together for the first time in January to beginmolding the structure. The basic plan is accepted by all;the problems are of a smaller internal nature. We wentslowly, carefully, trying not to impose, not to hurt, notto use the wrong words, not to go too fast.But it's not easy. You do have preconceived ideasabout the disciplined life of a Christian community.You do come from a different culture. You can't use theright words because you've only studied the language forthree months. And, it's all so trying on the patience thatat first you wonder why the whole thing's so importantanyway. Then, little by little, you begin to see somethingshaping, lIliraculollsly almost. Levels of education in thisteam range from sixth grade to university, backgroundsrange from the jungles of the Bolivian lowlands to suburbanNew York, ages range from nineteen to thirtythree-butlittle by little. .We will be going to an area called the [ungas-AltcBeni. It is one hundred and ten miles down the unforgettablybeautiful, and dangerously narrow, dirt road thatgoes from the fifteen thousand-foot snow-covered passabove La Paz, curving down twelve thousand feet to thelush jungle lowlands of the Alto-Beni. It's still in themountains though!Our center of operations, we are told, will be inCaranavi, new center of the region, where Our coordinatorlives with his family. Here we are to come togetherevery month or two as a team for exchange of ideas,plan work, evaluate, and get strength from knowing thateleven others are working with you. However, permanenthomes will be with a Bolivian counterpart (mine turnedout to be a little midwife named Mari Velasco).We are prepared to live in a colony outside of Caranavi,accessible by mule only, lip a steep mountain path-far away from the rest of the team (or from anybodypagenine

else as tall as I am!). In this colony we are to live andwork with the people as they live and work Houses willbe made of split branches from jungle trees and have apalm leaf roof and dirt floor and have just half a wall onthree sides so as to let in light and bugs. There may bea latrine and if we are lucky the water will be near andcome from a rushing mountain stream. Sun will beblisteringly hot, mosquitoes will drone incessantly, andwe'll have to keep a gun handy for protection fromsnakes and tigers and other such 'beasts." We'll growour food in a garden in back of the house, after we'vecleared the land, because we won't be able to affordthe time or money spent in town.All these things we are told and prepared for, and,our work is outlined.The first thing we'd do is go out and visit all thefamilies in the colony finding out things about eachhome. We'd have to be careful about using our specialtalents of teaching and nursing as superficial cures toneeds of the community. Our job is community development.Our motto is helping the colonists see their ownneeds in order to then help themselves. When we leaveafter three years, we don't want them to feel a gap, butrather to be a lot better equipped to resolve their ownproblems.Sound easy?? We have yet to see.It was the little cultural differences that were hardto get used to and griped the hell out of me because Icouldn't quite understand and couldn't get used to atfirst. I knew I had to live with them for three years andwas trying so hard to "identify" that I didn't dare getit out of my system. The disease is called "culturalshock" I believe. However, whether it's a good or badsign, one eventually adjusts to the clashes of cultures, andthe other day another team member and I laughed atourselves as we looked at the jacket of a Peter, Paul,and Mary album and remarked at how clean the Boorlooked]Letters and newspapers from WMC this spring indicatedan excitement in the air electrified by the personsof Boyd and Coffin.I couldn't help wishing that Boliviahad more Boyd and Coffins.There are many reasons whyBolivia is called a "Land-Divided"-climate, geography,customs, but most strikingly, race. The difference is thatthe repressed Bolivian Indian who makes up 80 percent ofthe population hasn't yet caught the spirit of U. S. Negroagainst the social injustice he suffers. In these pastmonths, our period of orientation has taken us all overBolivia. We have had a chance to observe firsthand andto participate in the life of the Bolivian Indian-and it iswith him that we'll be working for the next three years.Let me tell YOll more about our travels of the last fewmonths to give you a better idea about just why thisland has been named a "Land of Decision." Our travelshave taken us from west to east, from the Andes to thelowland jungles, from Lake Titicaca to the Brazilianfrontier.It was on the Altiplano that I watched Dr. Quirogaand a visiting doctor give a small Indian boy cause tosmile as they autographed the cast they had just put onhis TB infested leg. In the square four blocks away Icould hear the little brass bands playing the same notesover and over again from dawn until sunset callingAvmara for miles around to the annual ritual festival inthe town square. This was a change from the monotonyof the rugged primitive life on the shores of Titicaca.I sat imide a circle of Aymara women one Sundayafter church beside the shining blue waters of the lakeand added some fruit to the potatoes and beans andcom spread out on little knitted squares in front of me.A few yards away the men were similarly gathered.Many times my thoughts would wing homeward-for onthe Altiplano it's hard to believe that across the watersand over the high peaks is the fast-moving society whereties are kept. All around are little adobe huts with noventilation-black with smoke from the cooking fire, littlegirls watching their herds, men and women knitting asthey walk along the dirt roads in shoes made out of oldrubber tires, diaperless babies haltered over the backof a black-braided, derby-hatted mother. Bringing me intouch with the 20th century always, however, are theAltiplano status symbols of the English bike and transistorradio-breaking the bonds of tradition.But the young, forward-looking colonists of Bolivia,moving into new, rich lowland territory to colonize, arethe real signs of a break from the chains of tradition andthe worn-out Altiplano soil. These are the "Pioneers" ofthe land, the brave ones. The land is rich, but so differentfrom what they've known. Problems are differenthowto plant new types of crops, how to prevent erosion,how to keep the pigs and chickens from dying, how tokeep new tropical diseases from the family, how to getproducts to market without roads how to go throughagencies to get help to combat all these new problems????With the problems, however, there's a big differencebetween the colonist and his Altiplano father andmother. The colonist is on the front lines, eager for abett~r life and willing to accept changes to bring abouta brIghter future for his children.To give a better idea, here are answers I've gottenfrom a preliminary questionnaire in the colony of SanPablo, my home.Can you speak Spanish? (to a mother) Janiwa.h, Aymara.(No, Aymera-cnother tongue)Can you read and write? No (80 percent of adults areilliterate.)What plans do you have for your children? I wantthem to live.pageten

Joy says "Welcomethe right.to San Pablo." Her home is onDo you know about vaccines for your animals andchildren? NoDo you have a latrine? NoWhere do you bathe and wash clothes? RiverWhere do YOll get water? RiverAs 1 write this article, I've been in my new home forless than a month-just time enough to make a gardenand do a lot of looking and listening and visiting. Mylibrary has become a lending library to the literate andperhaps an incentive to the illiterate. Literacy classesare in the near future.Our first project has been a simple one (they wantedus to begin with arrangements for getting a road up here,but that's a bit MUCH to tackle in the first month!). Mariand 1 have talked with leaders and arranged for them toinvite the doctor from town to hike up to give yellowfever vaccines. The two of us and a team of three or fourothers have done a bit of hiking in the meantime to announcethe vaccine and educate the families as to itsimportance.I'm happy in San Pablo and relish the challenge aheadfor Mad and me and the colonists. 1 have a lot to learn,a lot more listening and looking to do, but as "I lift upmine eyes unto the hills" 1 am grateful to the Power thathas led me to this Land of Decision-Bolivia.Joy's market basket is a little different from those usedby the nattoe population.T';~~~Ye~~~~~!I~,wh'~r :1~8:,eS:~~~:b~~r JU:I::n~o:r:::'°s~~ftg;ju::~~e ~;~:jl!:~~'·~th~l~~t%~~e;.n Jo~9!~;.~ ;~;:ct~dfo~~vt;.~o:;;:~:pageeleven

SOS Sends FiveTeams This SummerThis month five more Student Opportunity Serviceteams [eave for summer field service projects. The studentgroup is in its fourth year of operation and continuesto grow. Readers of THE MAGAZINE may recallthe excitement which launched 50S and the first librarythe organization established-in the Philippines.Teams leave this month for Appalachia and four townsin Puerto Rico. Books and libraries are still a major preoccupationof the groups, but now they also are involvedwith community development. Community developmentincludes everything from recreation programs, teachingEnglish, and developing sanitation systems to buildingbasketball courts.Twenty-one students are in the 1966 field teams. Theyinclude: Appalachia - Carolyn Henson, Daniel Bohi,Linda Sullivan, Janet Hazelton, Willard Davis, WalterMichael; Ensenada, Puerto Rico-Diana Long, Ralph Wilson,Jerry Wolf, Diane Bennekamper; Castaner, PuertoRico-William McClary, Ronald Boone, Cornelia Sloan,Patricia Peregoy; Coco, Puerto Rico-David Carrasco,Frank Rinehart, Virginia Brace, Christine Connelly;Ponce, Puerto Hico+Margaret Elgin, Deborah Sturdevant,Jeffrey Ludlow.

'/'his article, printed in the May 20 issue of The Golcl Bugj~ by one of Dr. Schofield's students. Mr. Rinehart, an honor st!l~dent, plans graduate work in cheml8try next year at the Universityof California, Berkeley.The Dean Retiresb:Y Frank P. Rinehart, '66Today is the last day in the career at Western MarylandCollege of Samuel Biggs Schofield, a man who hasinfluenced the development of this institution far morethan contemporary students can possibly realize. Dr.Schofield is resigning his position as Professor in theDepartment of Chemistry after forty-seven years ofservice to the school.We who have been students of Dr. Schofield over thepast few years will remember him as a teacher. It takesbut a quick look through past volumes of the ALOHAto realize, however, that he has held every major administrativeoffice with the exception of President duringhis career here.Dr. Schofield graduated from Western Maryland in1919 and was immediately appointed Instructor in Biologyand Chemistry. In 1920, he became Dean of Men,a position he held, with the exception of one year, untilhe took a leave of absence in 1924 to continue his studiesin Chemistry at the Princeton University. Returning withhis Master's in 1928, he was appointed Professor ofChemistry and Dean of the College, a position roughlycomparable to the Dean of the Faculty of today. In1938, the "Dean" received his third Deanship, Dean ofAdministration. This job encompassed most of the responsibilitiesof the present Office of Physical Plant, inaddition to many of those which now come under theOffice of the Treasurer. He resigned as Dean at the endof 1962 and then, the next year, as Chairman of the Departmentof Chemistry. He has continued on as a teachersince that time.Despite the meticulous detail with which he attendedto his administrative duties, the Dean has always devotedthe majority of his time and energy to the task of teaching.Those of us who have studied under him realize thathis teaching went far beyond the narrow confines of thetextual material. It was he who gave us an historicalperspective. It was he, who through his devotion to detail,impressed upon us the need for care and logic inour work. In an age where we are, by and large, encouragedto cut corners, it was Dean Schofield, who inhis insistence that only our best was acceptable, developedin us pride in good technique.Most of all, however, we appreciate the great interesthe has shown in us as students and individuals. He hasalways come to the aid of a student who has shown theslightest sign of interest. His help has ranged from smallpointers to massive instruction and personal counseling.He has always taken time to know his students, and knowabout them, in order to better aid them in their schedulingof courses, choice of vocation, and solving of personalproblems.In keeping with his desire that students should havethe best, he worked devotedly to build the curriculumand facilities of the Chemistry Department. The factthat graduates from the Department can enter the professionalor academic world with confidence is a testimonyto his labors. It is no accident, for example, thatthe library has a fine collection of most of the majorChemistry journals stretching back many years.As we depart from the Western Maryland scene alongwith Dean Schofield, we will look back, not only at theschool, but at a man who stands out for his straightforward,frank approach, his refusal to compromise thebest interest of the school or students, and for his drivingenergy which drove us on to become better studentsand people.page thirteen

On the HillFacultyNewsDr. Ralph B. Price, professor of economics,is Fulbright Visiting Professor at theUniversity of Singapore this summer. Hestarted lectures on June 1 and will continueuntil July 29. Dr. Price is lecturing on microeconomictheory and economic development.He spent last year in India. The economicsprofessor is a member of the Asian studiesgroup which has been operating under aFord Foundation grant. Included in his researchpapers on India are two which willbe published this year; "M. G. Hanade'sTheory of Economic Development," Explorationsin EntreprenC!lriol History, secondseries, September 1966, and "Ideology andIndian Planning," The American loumal ofEconomic,~ and Sociowgy, October 1966.Dr. and Mrs. WiUiam R. Ridington areEngland participating in an nrchaenlng,inical dig. They are working on a Homanvilla at Cirencester. The project, which hasbeen under way for some years, is sponsoredby the University of Binninghrun'sdepartment of extra-mural studies. The Ridingtonswill be at the site for about threeweeks. They are being housed with otherparticipants in Bledeslow Lodge of theRoyal Agricultural College. Dr. Ridingtonis chainnan of the classics department atthe College.At Commencement President Ensor announcedthe retirements of Dean Schofieldand Professor Hendren and also those oflosef C. Willen, associate profeSSor of modernlanguages, and Walter M. Baggs, dlrec,tor of development.Mr. Willen has been a member of theCollege faculty since 1933. He received hisA.B. at Columbia University and the A.M.at the University of Pennsylvania. "HerrW.illen," as the students referred to him,also studied at Colegio de Arequipa, Peru,and the University of Berlin. The Willenfamily has long maintained a farm in CarrollCounty.Mr. Baggs came to Western MarylandBve years ago from Stetson University inFlortda. He has decided to remain in Westminsterafter retirement. Mr. Baggs was thefirst director of development the Collegeever had and did a lot of groundwork forhassubsequent development programs. Hebecome a familiar figure to the manyalumni he visited in his travels.Witty, Scholarly Professor RetiresAt a meetillg of the AAUP this winter,Mr. Dean Hendrick~on, emerit!lS associateprofessor of English, read the followingtribute to Dr. Hendren who retired at theclose of the first semellter.Of all the men I have ever known nonehas been or is more modest regarding hisabilities nnd . attainments than the man weare honoring today. A long eulogy, therefore,would be the one thing Dr. Hendrenwould not want.So-just a few thoughts as we bid farewellto one of the most highly thought ofand most valuable of our colleagues.We shall miss his gentleness, his abilityto choose the right work for the right time,his wit, his talent and genius, and his scholarship.We shall miss his quiet, gentle humor,which many of us have enjoyed for manyyears. There was also another kind of humor,exemplified in his uncomplimentary appellationfor wild automobile drivers, whom heused to call "two- tailed yahoos" but recentlyhellesfeond (Old English for "fiendsof hell").There is still another kind, which mightbe called "fractured English." This might beillustrated by the following from a cardwritten from Everglades Park, Florida:"Alligator steak a la Nuremberg is no adequatesubstitute for lobster esterhazy of Baltimore.Of course we haint neither of usnever eaten none of them things."And this, from another card: "Workingan article in defense of Euclid's seem,oningly unacceptable (though valid) propositionthat 'the scar on the hippopotamus ofa wrong triangle is equivalent to some ofthe scars on the other two's hides.'

His 9.8 run breaks the school record.Diamond Campaign SuccessfulThe Green Terror baseball team lost thefinal game of the season and the Mason-Dixon Conference Championship to AmericanUniversity by a score of 10-3.Mter edging Baltimore University for theNorthern Division crown by compiling arecord of eight wins and four defeats, the"Femmen" began a fateful three-game serieswith the Eagles of American University.The Terrors hosted the Eagles in the firstcontest and knocked them all over the field,winning 11-1. Sophomore standout, RalphWilson, pitched 'one of his finest games allseason, striking out twelve and allowing onlyfour hits.The second game proved to be anotherversion when A.U. won 4-1. Scott Joynerwent the distance for WMC giving up onlyfive hits. The Terrors' batting deserted them.Big Wilson started against the Eagles onthe day of judgment but was tagged fornine runs and the 10-3 defeat before juniorJack Bentham relieved him. Five errorswere among the crucial mistakes that pushedCoach Hitchcock's team into the runner-upposition. Iron man Scott Joyner deliveredhis usual fine performance at bat.But the squad wasn't second in everyleague. The Terrors defeated Dickinson College2-0 in the final game of the season towin the crown of the Mid-Atlantic SouthernConference Division with a record of sixwins and no losses. In the contest Scott Joynerhit his eighth homer of the season.The two seniors who ended their intercollegiatecareers were pitcher-outfielderJoyner and catcher Alan Ingalls. Both menproved to be leaders by performance.One of the reasons for the improvementover last year's 2-10 slate was the maturationof the senior members of the squad,Linton, Horton and \Vinterling. Darrellheld the number two position and deliveredthe steadiest game on the squad. Tabbedby Mowbray as the "coolest player underany circumstances and the key man in thecampaign," the sun-tanned senior rang upan 8-1 record.Team captain Dave Horton had his mostseason in three yean, winningsuccessfulthree singles matches. Dave was the faith"ful workhorse whose persistent hustle wonhis teammates' respect and backing. Hekept the team's morale up and "kept meclued in," commented Mowbray. The thirdsenior, Grayson Winterling, overcame thebarrier of practice teaching to play in thenumber two doubles matches with Linton.He often practiced late in the evening tokeep in shape. His experience addedstrength to the team at several crucialpoints during the season.The returnees are led by springy DavaChristhilf who has been playing in the numberone position. According to Coach Mowbray,Christhilf's "big serve and strong netgame make him potentially one of the bestplayers in recent years." He still lacks theaggressiveness that would move hun intothe category of excellent. SophomoreCharlie Snitchlein occupied the number fourposition and could always be dependedupon "for the longest match of the day."The number three position saw freshmanFrank Howe displaying knowledge of thegame and talent to break even in individualmatches. He will probably be pushtnjrChristhilf for the number one position. 'Coach Mowbray's innovation was thealternation of freshman netmen in the numbersix singles position and the numberthree doubles position. In this experiment,all freshmen gained experience in inter-('ollegiate tennis competition. The "troubleshooters" were Anthony Mazzie, Jim Godownand Ken Nibalipagenineteen

He was evenknown to badger and to anger at times when he felt hispersuasiveness was faltering. But temper was a thing ofthe moment with him.

The school chtl.,dren put on lovely programs of dances andsong representing all the Pacific cultures.It's a wonderful way to learn for everyone.A new college, Hawaii Loa, is beingestablished on Oahu to serve Hawaii andthe Pacific Basin.

Rowe,former Dean at Lawrence University in \Vispagl'twenty_eightconsln, bas been elected President. He statesthe aims of the institution as follows: "AtHawaii Loa we plan to merge the traditional\Vestern-Oriented liberal arts courseswith offerings in Asian studies to producea curriculum that will give the Americanstudent a clearer understanding of his owncultural heritage and social institutions bycontrasting them with those found in away of life far different from his own, Thisinter-cultural approach will also allow thestudent from Asia to better understand hisway of life through the study of the heritageof the West, and both the Asian and theAmerican will have a greater understandingof one another's culture."

It is mostly a long-range operation. Accordingto Alfred V. Clark, assistant to the president for development,this is the most important thing to understand.Mr. Clark has said that he will devote his first monthsat We~tern Maryland to acquainting himself with thecolleges needs and the sources of potential support tomeet those needs. He is presently formulating ideas fora long-range development plan for the college. Mr. Clarkhastens to point out that he will be a coordinator inthis process. However, at the October meeting of theBoal~d.of Trustees he hopes to be able to present somepreliminary recommendations.Mr. Clark must, he says, get a conception of the needsof the college and the priorities of those needs' then hecan start .developing a plan to obtain support for them.To do this, Mr. Clark points out he will be concernedwith ~aculty,staff, and students, alumni, parents, businessl~l~d mdustry, foundations and government agencies,+nends of the college and the Associationof IndependentColleges of Maryland.The. new. development officer has already begun toacq,uamt himself with tilt: needs and problems of thevarious departments and staff members of the college.He hopes at some point to be able to sit with a conferenceof appropriate officials of the college to discussneeds. When these needs are determined priorities canbe established and plans made to 6nd ' funds for theprogram's supportAt tl~e October meeting of the Board any long-rangeplan WI1\ have to be very preliminary, Mr. Clark says,because of the time element involved. Whatever ideasand proposals can be arrived at between now and tben,however, will be presented to the Board and the developmentcommittee of the Board with recommendationsfor future action.As the long-rang plans take shape, they will be fullyoutlined ill THE MAGAZINE so that alumni and friendscan be kept informed.

The dormitories will house approximately214 men students, 194 women studentsand three house directors. The newdining fnciltty, in cafeteria style, will seatabout 550 people at one time. The Collegewill dedicate in October an enlarged sciencefacility which is also part of the Centennialprogram. A new heating plant, first phaseof the program, has been in operation forone ye,lr. \Vhen the new dining hall is completud,tho College expects to convert thepresent facility into needed classrooms.In order to make a gradual approach toincreased enrollment and also to take itspart in handling the college enrollment explosion,Western Maryland ·has for someyears been taking more students than itcould comfortably house. The AdmissionsOffice estimates that about 217 students arenow in overcrowded facilities and 58 are inoff-campus housing, also overcrowded.With approval of the loan now final, theCollege anticipates that ground for the dormitoriesand dining hall will be brokenbefore January 1. It is hoped that the buildingswill be completed for use in the fallof wes. Edward C. Fligg of Baltimore isarchitect for the projectComputer Center in OperationA small-scale scientific compuler has beenadded to the educational facilities of theCollege this summer.The College is using an lB~I Model 1130computer at a cost of approximately $1,600per month. This increase in educationalfacilities will be under the direction ofRaymond E. Albert, [r., '62, who will operatethe computer center and offer a coursein computer techniques.The computer center has been added at·Western Maryland to assist faculty and studentsengaged in special studies and projects.Students in certain fields will be able to rcducetime spent at manual computation anddata analysis, according to Mr. Albert. Thiswill allow them more time to understandthe nature of their material and will increasetho depth of their comprehension, hesuggests.In addition to academic use of the computer,it will serve the administration forstudent registration, records, and grade reporting.AI.umni records and accounting operationsalso can be processed by the cO[\1-puter.

AlumniFund Breaks RecordThis successful tellm is ehoion at the start of the AlumniFund drive. Left to rigf,t-!ulian L. Dyke, ir., '50; ClarenceH. Bennett, '28; Philip E. Uhrig, Ahlmni Secretary;and Wilmer V. Bell, '30All alumni are proud of the significant contributionthe Annual Alumni Fund provides toward the educationof western Maryland College students. Each year since1947, the Fund has provided a vital source of incomenecessary for the college to offset rising operating expenses.In 1966 alumni have reached new heights in thisexpression of their concern for their Alma Mater.It is a distinct pleasure to announce that $47,030.42has been received as of August 20, $5,000 more than thegoal the Alumni Fund Committee announced at the beginningof the campaign. This achievement is particularlySignificant when one remembers that duringthis period many alumni were completing payments onCentennial Expansion pledges. Stated another way, thetotal of contributions received represents the equivalentof the interest an additional $1,175,000to the EndowmentFund would produce at a 4%return.The funds received will be used to improve the qualityof education available to WMC students. There aremany ways the money may be used. This, of course, willbe determined by the coJlege, but let me suggest someareas that might be included:_ to support increased faculty salaries_ to repair and maintain college property_ to underwrite the cost of electricity, water and insurance_ to cover the annual library book budget and collegeprinting costs_ to aid qualified students not covered by endowedscholarship fundsIn '66 the "team" was made up of 625 alumni-morethan double the number previously involved in any singlecampaign. An average gift of nearly $20 was contributedhy 2,356 persons representing classes from 1893 through1968. Both the number of contributors and the averagegift are n new high for Western Maryland. The averagegift represents an increase of more than $2.50 above ourprevious high. Many classes more than doubled their1965 total amount contributed.Appreciation is expressed to each alumnus who contributedto the success of the 1966 program. I especiallywish to gratefully acknowledge the efforts of BishopJames H. Straughn, '99, who served as Old GuardChairman and 'Wilbur Preston, Jr., who headed theSpecial Gifts Campaign.Tn 1966 much has been accomplished. 1 want to expressto you sincere appreciation for the opportunity toserve as General Chairman. It has been a rewardingexperience to have been involved in such a worthwhileendeavor and to exceed our goal. More important, Ihave had a unique opportunity to meet and know· moreof our \"'MC family. It has been an enriching experience.In WMC's future is an expanding physical plant requiringadditional services and improved programs oflearning necessary to provide the standard of excellencewhich is the objective of our college. With a growingstudent enrollment and rising costs, it is clear that feesand endowments are no longer adequate to meet thesegrowing demands and Western Maryland must morethan ever depend on other sources of income such asthe ever increasing annual support of alumni.The experience of 1966 indicates that alumni arecommitted to the support of Western Maryland Collegeand will meet whatever challenges the future may bring.ln the list of class contributors to follow, total amountsfor individual classes have been withheld where onlyone member of the class made a contribution.The asterisks designate alumni whose contributionsqualified them to become members of the Cornerstoneor Century Clubs. The former represent those who contributed$2.'5-$99.Each has received a windshield stickerwhich admits his car to home football games on HoffaField free of charge. Members of the Century Clubsignify those alumni who contributed $100 or more.These have received a card case which when presentedto the appropriate authority admits the bearer to anyactivity on campus for which admission is charged.pageji,,!!

WESTERN MARYLAND COLLEGEOctober, 1966 The Magazine•~-----~

The President's ColumnBuilding, Planning ContinueIn the July issue of THE MAGAZINE I reported onthe steps taken to date in the Centennial ExpansionBuilding Program-the new Power House, The LewisHall of Science and the complete renovation and modernizationof the facilities in Lewis Recitation Hall duringthe summer for the use of OUf several science departments.As I write this column in early September, it isvery apparent that this renovation will not be completedby the opening of college, but I am optimistic enoughto believe it will be ready soon thereafter-at least intime for the Dedication and Homecoming on October 15.The next steps in the program are: (1) the erection ofa new men's dormitory to house 214 students on theproperty across the road from Elderdice Hall that thecollege bought from the Seminary when it moved toWashington some years ago; (2) the new dining halland kitchen on one level immediately behind the newmen's dormitory; (3) the Harlow Swimming Pool andother physical education facilities beneath the new dininghall; (4) a new women's dormitory with a student capacityof 190 that will be located on the corner of thequadrangle north of Blanche Ward Hall and east ofMemorial Hall; (5) the creation of additional classroomspace on the two lower Boors of Memorial Hall nowoccupied by the present dining hall and kitchen.These remaining five steps, by the very nature of thecase, must be taken almost simultaneously, although it isquite apparent that step No.5-the creation of additionalclassroom space in Memorial Hall-cannot even bestarted until the food services are established in theirnew quarters. This will take some careful manipulation.It has been our plan to finance the two donnitoriesand the food services through a Federal loan of $2,500,000under the College Housing Loan Program-a 48-year3%bond issue. The loan finally has been approved andthe loan agreement is now in process of execution. Inaddition to the $2,500,000loan, however, approximately$900,000will be required for the swimming pool, movablefurnishings and other items not eligible for inclusionin the loan. This additional financial requirementwill be met with funds available from the CentennialExpansion Program, the Urgent Needs Crusade of theBaltimore Conference, and the $500,000 grant from theState of Maryland if and when we finally win the suitwith The Horace Mann League now pending in thecourts.Let me insert here just a word about the status ofthat suit. The decision of the Circuit Court was in ourfavor, but The Horace Mann League took it to the MarylandCourt of Appeals where we lost by the close decisionof 4-3. The Court of Appeals, however, in theirdecision did rule in favor of Hood College which isdifficult to understand because there is very little significantdifference in the church relationship of Hoodand Western Maryland. Our attorneys have submitteda petition for certiorari to the U. S. Supreme Court, andit is generally believed our highest court will reviewthe case because of the far-reaching implications thatare involved affecting the financing of private educationalinstitutions of higher education throughout the country.We have good reason to believe that eventually we willwin the suit, if the Supreme Court will hear it, but inthe meantime we do not have the use of the $500,000State grant.Yet our Centennial Expansion must move forward asrapidly as possible, because we are committed to it. Thefinancing will be a real problem without the State grant,but I sincerely believe we can do it. A few generousgivers at this point will be a great help.The time schedule for the completion of the five stepsoutlined above is still somewhat uncertain, due to thevoluminous red tape involved in securing the Federalloan. Our best prediction is that construction shouldbegin soon after the first of the year, with completion intime for the opening of college in the fall of 1968. Thiswill be a year later than we had originally planned, but"the best laid plans of mice and men... I"In the meantime, the heavy demand for student admissionis continuing, and all of us on the Hill are eagerlyawaiting the day when the building program will becompleted and we can welcome a few more students tothe benefits of a Western Maryland education.LOWELL S.

Introduction: the editorUNREST ON CAMPUS"1 want to dress the way I feel and IdO!{~a~ee!o~=.'~an's comment says a lotabout what is going on.The president of Brandeis University thissummer told a group of educators "we are~nr~v~~~~~~nn~tf o~o~:a~n:u:~!c~:~~I:.~!O~~went on to say that dislocations and r~volutionssuch as this must include travail andbloodshed because a possessing group doesnot give up quietly. But, Dr. Abram ~aeh~rpointed out, when the pain of anxiety. ISgone, there is death. We must learn, he said,to live with crisis from this tIDlE on; solutionswill never be neatly wrapped up again.Someone else recently stated that educationmust develop an affirmitive sense ofperspective, not just facts and data. And,from another voice-there is a change ofethics in higher education in the UnitedStates that is behind the issues.On the Western Maryland campus thesethings have been said:Not long from now a new group of studentswill enter Western Maryland, Dr. L.Earl Griswold told a group. They will beeager, bright, ready to accept what we sayas pure gold. But, continued the sociologyprofessor, by the time the first year is overthe dichotomy at work here will have madethem into two groups. One group will manageand some win develop a real a~eetionfor the college. The other gro.u p will hateWestern Maryland and this Will only growas its members continue.Dean Ira G. Zepp commented this sum-Iller that the college is in the midst of arevolution. It is undergoing a transition. Bez::es~~ ~~(I~1~:1'~~l/behi;ie ~~ ~~~future.Alumni leader Julian Dyke told a group-you can't even try to remember yourselvesat that age and understand. "We were nevertheir age," And, an ad hoc committee ofstudents and faculty has declared that thereis not here the freedom to sample disciplineswhich the liberal arts college is supposedto stand for.It has also been said, "Yes, there will betension."Now, getting back to that young manwho doesn't feel so good. Is he a "kook"?No. Nor is he a "radical." At least he isn'teither of these as they are commonly defined.He doesn't feci so good because he isin that revolution of hope and expectationto which Dr. Sacher refers.Everyone concerned with Western MarylandCollege should read, and ponder, thisissue of THE MAGAZINE. You may notcompletely understand what is happeningon the Hill when you are finished. Youwon't be alone in that respect. But, the editorhopes that you will be aware that somethingis happening, that what is happeningis not all bad, and that what is happening isvery real to a serious, sincere portion ofthis campus.It is safe to say that a casual observermight not see it. The revolution has been"finely Illtered" to quote Dean Zepp again.There are no riots or demonstrations of theBerkeley variety, but the Hill has not beencompletely quiet. To understand tile articleswhich follow, readers must knowsomething of what has been going on.Late last winter a group of students, allrespected campus leaders by the way, decidedthat something must be done aboutthe monolithic fraternity structure. In theiropinion there is no freedom of choice aboutGreek letter societies when close to 90 percentof the student body belongs. There islittle opportunity in such a situation for astudent to choose not to join without appearing"too different." They feel that campusactivities are too heavily dominated by thefraternities, that they create a divisivesituation between members of different societies.And, they drew up a position paper requestingthat President Ensor appoint acommittee to study possible abolition of thefraternities and themselves resigned fromthose societies to which- they belonged.They asked students and faculty to sign thepetition. TIIt~Gold Bug devoted many pagesto letters, articles, and editorials, pro andcon. This fall Dr. Ensor appointed the committeefor a study of the problem.At about the same time more studentsand faculty members started thinking aboutthe Western Maryland curriculum andfound they were not pleased with thestatus quo. notice went up on n bulletinAboard inviting those interested to come andtalk things over. A surprising number turnedout for that and subsequent meetings. Thegroup divided into committees, each studymgsome aspect of curriculum. Before summervacation began the full group metagain ~nd decided that the findings wereI~terestmg and promising enough to continue.The group bas no official recognitionand what will happen if and when itsubmits a proposal is not known. 'Next something tart was added the toswe~tness of May Day. In the parade oftradttlonal flower-decorated floats containingthe Hill's fairest coeds were two ears.Instead of ~owers the cars had posters withslogans which ignored spring or love andbeauty. The slogans were concerned withthat "revolution of hope and expectation."Most of what they were hitting at is discussedin the following articles. As Mr.Tribby notes, the reaction was varied onMay Day. Some people involved weresnubbed; the sidewalk spectators eitherlaughed nervously or went into total silenceas the cars rolled by.Suddenly, the whole business was beingbrought up again just when much of thecampus thought its late winter discomfortwas over. Not everyone wanted to itchagain.The word which crops up most is relevanceif that is any help to readers. Everyonequoted is talking about it and basicallywhat is happening on the Hill is a searchfor it. Many of the old ideas and traditionsdon't interest this generation of studentsbecause things important to us seem tohave little bearing on what life looks liketo them. Education must be more relevantto the world as it now is.And, because of this they "don't feelgood." It is the revolution.page jioe

The Church Collegeas Servantby Ira G.

The contem-POrary uniqueness of the church college isexpressed in terms of ~eTnice. It comes byits servant role COngenitally.

form of prejudice involved in all scholarshiphelp.Several colleges have exchange planswith Negro schools whereby the Negrostudent may spend a year on a predominantlywhite campus and viceversa. Western Maryland will inaugurutesuch a program this year withClark College in Atlanta, Georgia.Again, it is inconceivable that ~ighthundred students for four years In aliberal arts community should not bemore identified with the key socialrevolution of our time.It almost goes without saying thatwe ought to be seeking faculty membersrepresentative of both the abovementionedgroups.3. Another possible expression of servicewould be to bring to our campus,I number of high school and/or collegestudents from Appalachia and the innercity for a summer session of remediallearning-utilizing our own studentsand teachers as instructors.We could work with thc PovertyProgram, Boards of Edl;'~tion, a~dother concerned groups stnvmg to raisethe cultural and educational level ofthe deprived in our rural and urbanslums.4. Western Maryland could makeavailable the opportunity for a numberof students to take out a semcster oftheir college careers for service in thisor another country through a type of50S, Peace Corps, or similar project.Properly planned, this program couldaid uniquely the student's language development,sociological understanding,historical perspective, economic sensitivity,and religious tolerance. Thiscould be arranged and guided by aninterdepartmental committee and wouldprovide an irreplaceable element inone's liberal education.Students who return to the campusfrom these ventures are invariably moremature and constructive members ofthe academic community.We have attempted to show how thechurch college has the freedom and themotivation to integrate thought and actioninto relevant union. Robert McAfee Brown,professor of religion at Stanford University,said in a recent address to graduates andtheir parents:The notion that student revolt-whetherover Vietnam or social regulations orracial injustice-is "interfering with education"is a notion incompatible withthe recognition that in the life of thetruly educated person, thought and actionare indivisible. Let us grant thataction without thought can be foolish,and often is; let us also realize thatthought without action is sterile. TheFourth Gospel talks about "doing thetruth," and doing the truth is surelypart of what it means not only to bereligiously committed hut also to beSignificantly educated.We can match the secular university andthe state college in academic excellence.We can be as open as they are to all theresearch emerging from the life sciences,the behavioral sciences, and economics. Sowhat else is new? "What more are you doingthan others?" might be asked of us asJesus once asked his disciples.Well, precisely this. We will be just asopen to the life and death determiningissues of our day, t.e., race, poverty, peace,and urbanization. And, although we have:n mI!:g~~I:~:: i~ l:~e a~d;;;:!s t~lih:creative centers of existence or, in collegiateparlance, "be where the action is."su~mi~h~aiu::i~~o~' :;:~w~ ~~u~~s~\!decide that this is what we are determinedto do. The retention of the status quo appearsto be suicidal in terms of giving ourstudents the best possible education and inthe face of our responsibility for the world.It is quite within the reach of a creativeand imaginative administration to pick upthe gauntlet thrown down by our restlessstudents. By tapping their consciencemobilizing their energy, and responding t~th~ir idealism, we may fulfill together ourministry of service to the world.IRA G. ZEPP, JR., is dean of the chapel.

A Challengefor Brotherhoodby Michael ldoine, '66There is hardly any subject more in theminds of thinking men today than that ofbrotherhood. We are coming to realize thatas much as for advancements in technology,respect for andmen need to learn to haveto communicate with each other. We livein a world where social prejudice is nolonger an efficient or a progressive meansfor an evolving civilization.In confronting the fraternity system atWMC with a position paper calling for itsabolition, the writers of the paper foundthat there is a great deal of confusion aboutthe meaning of brotherhood. It was largelyon the issue of brotherhood that the positionpaper challenged the value of the fratemitynystem.Among the fondest desire~ of some in theeducation community is the hope that thecollege experfence will provide the smdentwith an opportunity to develop the capa,bility to make decisions on his own. Thestudent shouhl increasingly be aware of aphilosophy of life. These decisions can bemade as an integral function of this philosophyof life. This ability to function onhis own will be a POssession to be guardedjealously. The student begins to realize thathis uniqueness is so precious that he willstrive to seek out and to protect that uniquenessand indiViduality in others.Yet this is the true desire of few in theeducation community much less of a majority.Just as it is the true desire of fewin our SOciety. Instead, we have a complexand sophisticated establishment to be maintainedfor the sake of false security. It'shardly a revelation that we daily and almostto a giant political andhourly pay homageeccncnac machine that regulates our lives.This in itself is not bad. That is, it wouldnot be bad if this structure served whattruly is our human nature, rather than con.torting that nature only to maintain an unhumanstructunc The price we pay is aloss of individuality through the necessityto fit into SOciety, and subsequent loss ofPOwer to shape the kind of society that ourhuman namre needs.pageMICHAEL lDOINE gf/iduuted inJune. While on cam.plIshe wascditorof "Happening" and a respectedCTeative writer and musician. Mr.Maine is an the faculty af The Dug rway, an experimental school in Mussac/JUsettseightThe education system in this society hasbecome part of, even subservient to, thislarger structure. In doing so, it has takenon many of the self-serving attributes ofthis establishment to which it belongs.There are some schools in this country thatare exceptions to this rule-Western MarylandCollege is not one of them. Fundamentallythis is the problem we face indisclaiming the fraternity system, since thefraternity system is part of the structureof this college.Beyand the obvious (although questionable)social function the fraternity systemperforms, it claims to foster a brotherhoodamong its members. The way this brotherhoodis achieved belies the true intentionof the fraternity organization. Do the fraternitiesselect their membership on the basiskindness andof an individual's need forunderstanding?Isn't the real criterion for membershipbased on whether or not a man will fit "theimage"? A man must fit into one bag or anotherto prove that he is in need of fellowshipand the kind of support we all canuse in that late adolescent struggle towardmamrity. Consequently it not uncommonisthat the man who needs this sort of relationshipmost is left out, rejected-not tomention the further distress he may feelfrom being instituttonnlly denied this fellow_ship.To accept a "social misfit" into any organizationis an understandable liability. Inthe current way of thinking each memberof an organization must accept the responsibilityfor maintaining the avowed imageof that group. But what is this fraternityimage, and does the fraternity really functionwithin the bounds of this image, ordoes it serve to meet needs that could bebetter met without a fraternity system?At best, the fraternity image is a deceitits own members, as well as to the collegetocommunity at large. Most college sen-iors will confess that fraternity brotherhood,past by theirsuch as it is, is a thing of thesenior year if it ever actually existed. Itturns out that the fraternity has become asituation where YOIl are guaranteed a date,a special song of allegiance to sing, a setgroup with whom you can drink, and agroup of guys with whom you can identifybecause they all wear the same color jackets.I can say that this is not bad inAgain,itself.But the

Placesshould be found or provided that morerealistically fit the social requirements ofthe college studentThese suggestions and others were providedby the group that wrote the papercalling for abolition of the fraternity system.The group was made up of fraternityand non-fraternity men, fraternity advisors,faculty and administration. It was a groupthat was deeply divided on many issues, butwould not be un-decided about one of theways that we could help Western MarylandCollege better serve the needs of its students.In early morning and tiring sessionswe learned much about what it is 10 respectthe thoughts and judgments of another individual.we found fellowship in co_operatingon a common concern.If there is a common tie among the group,it is generally only a memory of thosehectic, bleary days and nights, for each ofus is at new tasks in new places. Many ofus feel that we will be better prepared tomake our own decisions in the future. Thereis a hope, too, that Western MarylandCollege will be able to make an honest decisionabout the future of its fraternitysystem.pagenine

"A High School With Dormitories"by Richard D. McCall, '68Students at Western Maryland Collegespend anywhere from one to five hours aday in structured time-wasting. This representsone to five hours which could be spentin research, study and dialogue; that is, ingetting an education.We arc not lazy; we are not frivolous.We are, in many cases, serious students.We do not wish to waste so much of ourcollege eclucation. The unfortunate fact isthat we are forced to.Every day we are forced to sit in neatlittle rows and appear to be paying attentionwhile a gentleman, whose name invartablyends with the letters, M.A., orPh.D., reads out of a notebook. Some ofus yawn, some write letters, some read atextbook (this allows us to predict whatthe man will say next), and others copydown, with varying degrees of accuracy, thewords which the man is reading. We dothis in order to write them from memoryat some future date, to give them back tothe man in return for a letter drawn inred ink. Our task is to regurgitate facts. Itis strange, is it not, that we do not justborrow the gentleman's notebook and copyverbatim his sacred utterances.Our disgust with the classroom situationgrows out of the demands which our educationmust meet in the modern world. If itcould be argued that we are preparing to.meet the future by going to classes, perhapswe could be more patient. The TwentiethCentury accepts no memorized textbook answersto its problems, however. The rest ofpagefenour lives cannot be spent memorizing andregurgitating.The present system prepares us neitherin method nor content for taking any slg,nificant creative role in the world. Insteadof giving an opportunity for individualinitiative and research, the system fosterspassive absorption of data. Instead of helpingus learn and evaluate facts and usethem in the fonnutation of new insightsand ideas, the system rewards mere memorizationof certain isolated facts which weexpect to flnd on the next test,The student is passive; we listen, weread, we memorize. Even if we wish to discussand debate there is great difficulty inflnding -cmeone with time to leave thegrade-grabbing cycle and engage in criticaldiscussion. Little wonder then that we forgetmost of what we learn two weeks afterthe test. It is a psychological fact that themore a person actually does, the more activehe is, the more he learns and the more heretains what he learns.The classroom, far from being a place ofactive thinking, is condUCive, to a remark,able degree, to sleep.

To Catcha Fish byD,,;dLC.rrasco,'67As we stood tnlkmg one evening next to the wooden house (three rooms all stilts)where another S.O.S. worker and I lived, the young Puerto Rican school teacher told mewhat S.O.S. was all about. Short, muscular Romualdo Martinez, who had fought in theKorean conflict and whose English was the most adequate I'd heard in the barrio, spokewith enthusiastic determination. His eyes and words penetrated my own realm of thought."As I was trying to tell the people of EI Coco this last evening when we explainedthe sanitation program, we do not want to give them the 'Bsh' but we want to teachthem 'how to catch the fish: I'm not so sure that your program is doing this. 'Ve cannotjust bring trucks and men here to take away their trash. We have to teach themthe method of trash removal without depending on bucks or the government or on yourpeople. The people themselves must be taught the concept, the idea. We must communicatethe meaning of sanitation to them. That is what I mean when I say we mustteach them 'how to catch the fish: Without this kind of a program significant contributionis automatically limited."While the S.O.S. is working in communitydevelopment trying to teach people 'how tocatch a 6sh,' the volunteers themselves arelearning what it means to be a fisherman.Today, on the campus, there are moreand more students and professors (and, onoccasion administrators) who are trying tolearn 'hew to catch a fish.' Don't take theanalogy on all fours. But, the silent generationhas become a restless one and is bellowingout some rather profound and farreaching groans.College students are standing up to becounted, sitting in for results, getting o~tto be responsible, marching forward Insearch of change and authenticity. That iswhat is involved in catching Martinez' fish.He was talking about the lifeblood of theeducational experience.The unrest on the campuses across thenation and the unrest on Western Maryland'scampus is Ior the most part a positiveresponse to some very negative conditions.Irving Kristole, in his article "What's buggingthe student" writes it very plamly,possibly too plainly for members of thesilent generation to digest. "It is above ~1I,an existentialist revolt (see November 65issue of THE MAGAZINE). The term isunfortunately chic and ambiguous. But inthis context it has a fairly definite meaning.The students are in rebellion not so muchbecause things are bad for them or forothers, but because things are the way theyare for them and for others. They arebored."Roland Liebert in his article, "The ProtestMood of Students," carries the idea furtherand says it with more clarity. "Nearly .aUcampus protests, while themselves. beingconsidered by students a form of socml service,have served as well to strengthen theopportunities for the continued growth ofthis ethic in new areas." He is speaking ofthe ethic of social service which is the mostcreative facet of the protest movement. It isprotest and demonstration transmuted intoservice-active service.Western Maryland is not without its negativeconditions to be sure, but more importantis that it has had some gut-level unrestand demonstrations in the form of the S.O.S.movement, the tutoring projects on Unionand Charles Streets, the teach-in on Vietnam,the pilgrimage of concern which sawfour students spend their spring vacationshelping Negroes in the South register tovote, the statement and position paper onfraternities and the May Day demonstration.my fellow students would say,As one ofthere arc waves in the bathtub.One merely needs to look past the glorifiedfacade of the S.O.S. to recognize that thefield projects are statements of protestagainst traditionally dull status quo. Theorigin Student Opportunities Service is aofcase in point. A visiting lecturer. accused thecollege generation of being uncommitted,uninvolved and narrow. This was in 1963and students on the Hill looked around ateach other, at what the College had to offer,and saw that it was true. A handful gatheredwith a concerned professor and demonstratedtheir defiant attitude by organizinga service orga~ization and by launchingOperation Philippines the same year. Asthis article is being written there are 21volunteer workers in Puerto Rico and Appalachialiving out the ethic social service.ofThe fact that Western Maryland has beenrepresented in the Philippines, in the Antilles,in Appalachia by field service teamsconsisting of students who finance their owntrips, organize their own training, initiateand co-ordinate projects with citizens in thebarrios where they live, is a demonstrationof youth searching for reconciliation and achance to serve.

Thetruth is they are rookie fishermen. Most arelow grade amateurs in terms of skills; butmost are a great deal higher on the ladderin terms of human awareness, sensitivityand potential to serve, in enthusiasm and incapacity to adapt and Jearn new methodsand skills-while they are on the field.And this is what should concern us most,the realization of a person's potential andthe fulfillment of that potential. When thishappens, whether it happens to a collegestudent, a Puerto Rican, an American inAppalachia, that person can get his own'fish' every day.Oddly enough, this involves among otherthings, tension, protest, SOmesort of demon_stratton. When William S. Coffin deliveredthe first Blake Lecture on campus this pastspring, he spoke about this search forauthenticity and genuineness. He said amember of the present college generationtold him, "my generation doesn't care howyour generation used to do it. We don'tnecessarily want to hear how you did it.We are going to do it our way for aboutten years. We arc going to own these daysand moments and the consequences." Alittle strong perhaps, but within the extremalies the essence.It is sometimes difficult to absorb parents'reactions when they learn that their son ordaughter is interested in working on an S.O.S.project. It is almost as if by expressing suchan interest, the 19- or 20-year-old child hasstomped upon a guarded plot of zoysia grassin the family's front yard.

Students Can (and Should) Govern Themselvesby Daniel R. McCready, '66The Berkeley spirit is beginning to exertinfluence throughout the nation anditsAmerican college and university studentsare seeking a greaterroJein govemingtbeirconcept of studentsown education. Thegoverning can be of great benefit to theentire college community. If assumedresponsibly, this enlarged role is an educationalexperience. Students, faculty andadministration working together for thecommon good and solving mutual problemscan be as enlightening as any academiccourse.The relevancy of students governing dependson four main factors:I. The attitude of the students-how satisfiedare they with the status quo? How selfcenteredarc they? How complacent and unconcernedare they about the important issuesof our age? Wiu they give support tostudents seeking a role in the governingprocess or do they mistrust them as wouldbepoliticians wallowing in a bureaucraticplaypen?II. The quality of the leadership-howeffective and responsible are the people involvedin governing? Are the wishes of thestudents heard and presented to the administration?III. Administration and faculty _ howconcerned are they? they consider a studentDogovernment something to do the busywork that the college would rather not door are they really interested in studentsgoverning?IV. What are the areas of concern of studentsinvolved in the governing process?Are they resigned to performing only suchfunctions as organizing Homecoming andMay Day or holding a small portion the ofStudent Activities Fee?When students become interested enoughthe idea of taking a more responsibleinrole in directing their own education theywill perhaps support those students' desiringto obtain meaningful student government.If and when this happens, the numbersof qualified student leaders will increasea~d perhaps the administration and facultywill be more agreeable to the idea of studentsassuming a greater responsibility inareas previously denied them.In regard to areas of concern, studentsgoverning Western Maryland Collegeatshould seek for the student body greater avoice in campus affairs.

New Look for Religious Organizationsby Robert E, Whitfield, '67Western Maryland College students, likeconcerned churchmen throughout thecountry, hnve become increasingly awareof the change which taking place in religiousisstructures, and the challenge it pre-sents to those involved in them. In responseto these changing demands and emphases,those involved on campus felt that the timefor definite action had come. They realizedthat the existing structures were not adequateto accomplish the tasks at hand. TheStudent Christian Association had becomequite small in tenus of those actually involved,and its voice considerably reducedin influence. The Religious Life Councilsuffered from lack of a sense of purpose,and seemed only a paper organization.Therefore, in a move designed to makeWMC more adequately reflect the eccumenicalthrust of our age, and to servemore relevantly in it, the SCA has Yieldedits responsibilities to the more broadly basedReligious Life Council.This change was initiated by the feelingthat the presence of two interdenominationalan unnecessary division structures was ofresources and concern. It represents a shiftfrom the dominance of a primarily ProtestantChristian organization to one in whichall religious interests are entitled to equalrepresentation and in which all have beenactive participants, Jewish students wereautomatically excluded from the SCA, andCatholic students did not feel at home init. Both, however, have shown real interestand concern for the work of the RLC, andofficers of the RLC have come from bothgr~~:. Religious Life Council was formedhy the President of the College during thelate 1950's. Until recently, its activity waslimited to such projects Religious EmphasisasWeek. The SCA cabinet includedrepresentatives from denominational groups,and it served as the co-ordinating body forthem. Two years ago, the co-ordinatingfunction was given to the RLC, and along~~; ~~'in~~ ~~~~~n:~o~h~ ~:d~~;~~~i~~tian Association then became the planningand presentation of hi-weekly programs forthe campus, and the direction of some studentservice projects. The existence of afixed membership in the SCA was terminatedin the past year, and this factormade the Beal transition to the ReligiousLife Council easier.The RLC, according to a statementadopted following the "merger," conceivesits purpose to involve the following aspects:I. Providing an ecumenical dialogue withinthe college community; 2. Presenting programswhich meet the needs of the college;3. Taking interest in the affairs of the collegeand the world, including statcments onvital issues, and service to our fellow humanbeings, and 4. Co-ordinating activitiesof campus religious groups. This purposewill be carried out primarily by the workof six committees.A program committee, headed by thevice-chairman of the RLC, has assumed themajor portion of the work of the SCA. Itis responsible for presenting bi-weeklyprograms for the campus as whole. Itais not the intention of the RLC to find alowest common denominator of religioushelief to reflect in its programs. It is, rather,representative of. differentto present programspoints of view, so that ecumemcallybased dialogue may take place betweenthem, as is proper an academic community.inA service committee is re,spomible foradministering all tutoring projects in whi.chstudents are involved. It also deals Withother aspects of involvement in the Iife,o_fthe world, particularly in the area of CIVilrig~ts~mmittee on the Arts is responsiblefor presentations relating religion and contemporaryculture. This will involve, for example,a return visit by Ed Summerlin duringthe 1966-67 year for the direction of aservice in liturgical jazz.Another committee is concerned with theplanning and direction of an exchange ofstudents and faculty with a Negro collegein the south for a period of a week-to tendays. It is hoped that such an "experimentin human understanding" may take placeduring the second semester of this year,and become an annual event. Preliminarycontacts are being made, and further reportswill hopefully be given in future issuesof THE MAGAZINE.Remaining committees are responsible fororganizational details. Formal membershipof the RLC consists of officers and committoochairmen, two representatives of eachcampus religious group, and faculty sixmembers chosen by the President of th"college.Such an organization as the RLC cannever be static, but must constantly changein response to new conditions whichdemonstrate the activity of Cod in ourworld. Hopefully, this most recent changewill channel its labors more directly intothe mainstream of the revolution of our age,and in doing so, better follow where Godis leading.ROBERT E.

Annual Alumni Leadership ConferenceUNDERGRADUATE 1966by Philip E. UhrigThe undergraduate of 1966 was the centraltheme under discussion by a panel ofWestern Maryland faculty and fifty alumnileaders who assembled on the Hill in lateAugust. The entire program was under thedirection of chairman, Julian Dyke, and hiscommittee.Alumni involved in many facets of thealumni program were invited as guests ofthe college for this annual meeting. Theyrepresented the following groups: Board ofGovernors, including alumni chapter delegates;Alumni Fund class chairmen andagents; Class Secretaries; and some formeralumni officers.To keep alumni leaders informed of currentcollege policies and problems is thepurpose of this annual conference. In thepast, alumni have been informed about theadmissions policy, the role of the College inliberal arts and other topics of similar value.The 1968 version was designed to discusswith faculty and administrators a profile ofthe Western Maryland undergraduate in1966.The panelists were: L. Earl Griswold,associate professor of sociology; James E.Robinson, Jr., Dean of Students and associat~professor PSYchology; and Ira C. Zepp,Jr., 52, Dean of the Chapel and assistantprofessor of Religion. Wilmer V. Bell, '30,Alumni Association President and Directorof Adult Education for Baltimore City, waspanel moderator.A colloquy was chosen as the method ofp~sentation to allow for an exchange ofviews by panelists and discussion withthethe audience. Focus was on an examinationof the Western Marylandand evaluationCollege student of the present day.It would be impossible to capture theenthusiasm panelists and alumni expressedin the discussions. Furthennore, it would beimpractical to try to report out of contextthe full range of discussions covered at theconference.However, it was agreed that our presentday students want to be involved in currentissues both local and national in perspective.Further, opinion was expressed that \VesternMaryland should feel a continuing Strongresponsibility toward promoting in its studentsa sense of social morality relevant tothe major issues faCing the world todaysuch as the problems of race, poverty, peaceand others.It was felt that the serious-minded students,of which there are plenty on thisand other campuses, are not overjoyed withthe unsettled problems they have inherited.It behooves us then to recognize that studentsare attempting to solve not only theirown personal problems but trying to inter,pret those of social morality in many areaswhere we have failed to provide solutions.Alumni heartily endorsed the amount oftime and effort members of the collegefaculty are spending on the counseling ofstudents, but were surprised at the amountwhich is necessary. Nevertheless, they couldappreciate even more the importance ofproviding a closer tie between student andfaculty in light of the often-voiced opinionthat these relationships are becoming fartoo impersonal on many college campuses.Loyalty of faculty to the institution was reemphasizedas a foundation on which tobuild understanding, the lighter teachingload, a corollary to this point.It was recognized that to understandone's Alma Mater and as a qualiRcation toaccurately evaluate its policies, one mustacquaint himself with all pertinent facts.All agreed that the student of today cannotbe equated with those who attended thecollege ten or more years ago. Conditionsare different as well.It was felt that as condtnona change, thefaculty and administration should be constantlyon the alert to anticipate these andlook for improved methods of handlinggiven situations, and that remedial measuresshould be sought to curtail unrest,dissatisfaction and the challenge of authority.One step in the right direction shouldbe an even closer relationship of studentsand faculty on a cooperative basis in seekingsolutions to problems in all areas ofcampus life.The fact that the world is moving at afast pace is evidence that change is ourconstant companion. Rapid change in policyis not necessarily the answer to all issues. Infact, panelists agreed that often in educationalinstitutions policy changes tend tolag. However, that fact should not be anexcuse for lack of foresight nor of actionon problem areas with which we can easilyidentify. It seemed an acceptable thesisthat if changes in the curriculum are necessary,for example, those institutions willbenefit most which consider the importanceof including students on appropriate committees.The same theory could be appliedto other broad areas where policy change iscontemplated.Students want to be involved in issueswhich will affect them. Alumni feel they,too, have a stake in this and want an opportunityto express interest in ways otherthan by financial contributions, importantas they know that phase is.On the Western Maryland campus therea.r~ man~ Opportunities for students participatetoIII roles of leadership.

Plan the Iormanon of an alumni committeethrough which interest and concernfor the college program can bevoiced. Devise a program by whichalumni can become more vitally involvedin helping the college to growand improve. Provision should be madefor alumni to counsel with the collegeon policies affecting curriculum change,athletics, admissions, etc.13. Express the belief in a larger faculty, asmaller teaching load, affording greatercontact between students and faculty.To underwrite this, ask that the AnnualAlumni Fund be speCifically earmarkedfor faculty salaries, and impressalumni with the importnnce of theirrole in supporting this program.L4.

ADOPTED SONS OFPUERTO RICOAn academic convocation for the openingof a college is usually a fairly serious affairwith awards, announcements, and an address,either scholarly or on the state ofthe College. Western Maryland College departedfrom tradition with its Fall Convocation.There were the usual awards and announcementshut no scholarly address. Elalcalde Tursilo Godreau Ramos of Salinas,Puerto Rico, made the difference. MayorGodreau traveled here to present the key ofhis city to President Lowell S. Ensor andto make the president and four members ofthe student body adopted sons of Salinas.Mr. Codreau's English was adequate forthe occasion, but just. However, he imme_diately established a wann association withhis audience. The students and faculty memberschuckled with him as he searched forthe correct word and gave him extendedapplause at the end.The mayor came to Western Marylandbecause a group of students representingthe College's Student Opportunity Servicehad spent six weeks in the barrio of El Cocoworking with the citiZens and variousagencies to establish a sanitation system andto teach recreational leadership. (A barriois a district of a municipality-Salinas has17 barrios.) Mr. Codreau said that his peoplefelt a debt to the students, not only forthe work they did but for the friendshipthey extended. He told the student bodythat he would be pleased to see more ofthem in his country this coming summerIn response to Mayor Godreau's presenta,tion of the key, Dr. Ensor said he acceptedit as a symbol of the friendship and goodwill between Salinas and Western MarylandCollege and thanked the city for allowingthe students to demonstrate this.Team members, now hiios adojJliv(I.' ofSalinas, were: Richard V. Boswell, Baltimore;Virginia K. Brace, Hyattsville; DavidL. Carrasco, Silver Spring; and Christine K.Connelly, Baltimore.S.O.S., as regular readers of THE MAGA_ZINE know, is Western Maryland's ownprivate Peace Corps. This made the thirdsummer that western Maryland studentshave worked on the southern coast of PuertoRtco. Other projects have included establishinglibraries, starting leadership training programs,teaching English, and helping establishplaygrounds.Four teams were at work there this summer.All were involved in some form ofcommunity development and leadershiptraining. In the field the students live withthe people with whom they are working.They make their own arrangements for thiswork with the agencies involved, pay fortheir own transportation, and govern themselvespage eighteenEnrollmentThe student body on the Hill this falltotals 801-397 men and 404 women.divided as follows: seniors-Classes aremen, 77 women; juniors-lOB men, 10580women; sophomoreS-lOO men, lOB women;freshmen-log men. 116 women.There are 349 mcn boarding and 48 livingoff campus. For the women, 366 are oncampus and 40 are commuting.As is usual at Western Maryland, mostthe incoming students this fall are fromofMaryland. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Dela,ware and Virginia arc also strongly representedin the class. There are currentlyfour foreign students on campus representingBurma, France, Republic of the Congo,and India.Dean Eli;xtbeth Laidlaw

Harlow, died in 1961.He Iwd received every award that II footballcoach can recerce in the United States. Oneof the main reasons for hi.Y success as IIfootball coach and as a human beillg is hiswife, Noivette, who liuBS today on MainStreet, just a stone's throw from the Hill.Those who knew Dick Harlow and respectedhim for his dedication to footballand what it did for men are also aware ofthe graciousness of his wife.To spend an hour with Mrs. Harlow is toreceive grace from another human being.She is a tall, stately woman who moveswith strength and certainty.

Whenthis lady enters a room people becomesilently aware that a warm and graciousperson has come into their midst. The simplicityand wholesomeness of her mind revealsitself in her conversations.As a coach's wife, she was a loyal assistantand always displayed a wise, motherlyconcern for Mr. Harlow's boys. Studentswho visited the Harlow home often founddelicious and filling meals she had preparedMrs. Harlow knows, as well asfor them,any woman, the appetites of young men.The house on Main Street is beautifullydecorated with pictures of many types, pottery,and antique furniture which she andMr. Harlow collected. Every item has apnrttcular meaning for her which she delight~in sharing with visitors. Once, whenshowing some of the priceless pottery, sheexplained, "I was just a two dollar buyer,hut Dick went all out, as he did in everytiling,to gather a beautiful collection."Her favorite room on the first floor is theden.

I was pleasantly surprised atone of our team's games when I looked upand saw Carroll and Georgi[l Cook whostopped to visit. Their son, Ed, was playingwith an older team on another diamondand neither game had started. I am surethat they little realized back in LittleLeague days that they would be faced witha decision in 1966 of whether Ed wouldcontinue his college education at Bridgewateror sign a professional baseball contract.He was drafted by the WashingtonSenators and is playing out the summer beforehe decides what he prefers doing. Atthis writing, he had made no decision, butI am sure all of us would like to have suchpleasant decisions facing us as Ed has. (Bythe way, both of the teams won that day.)A very wonderful tribute was paid toGeorge Grier, administrative assistant ofCarroll County.
