A Message fromthe PresidentDear Westminster Friends:“There is a line from an old Beatles song that goes, ‘There are places I remember,all my life…’ Westminster has many such places. It is, after all, that sense of placethat beckons us to keep coming back to this beautiful campus again and again toexperience a certain kind of tranquility we cannot quite describe.” Thus beginsthe forward to the new pictorial history of Westminster College by BarbaraBradon Guffey ’70 and Debora Swatsworth Foster ’74 (available through theWestminster Bookstore). Its pages give us a view of the place and its purpose.The sense of place brings us back to our roots, the sense of purpose spurs uson as we strive to carry out Westminster’s mission: “To help men and womendevelop competencies, commitments and characteristics which have distinguishedhuman beings at their best.”In each Westminster Magazine we try to share the accomplishments of theCollege and her faculty, staff and students. In our last issue we reported onWestminster’s ranking among liberal arts colleges by Washington Monthly. Theranking is a measure of mission-related success among the nation’s top 201liberal arts colleges. Westminster is ranked #15 among a “Who’s Who” of suchcolleges. The publication’s editor, Paul Glastris, explains, “The WashingtonMonthly college rankings are meant to provide a guide not just to what collegescan do for you, but what colleges are doing for the country. The whole point isto recognize the broader role colleges and universities play in our national lifeand to reward those institutions that best fulfill that role.”More remarkable still is the fact that Westminster has achieved its statusamong the Williams, Wellesleys, and Washington and Lees of the world withan endowment that is a fraction of their monetary resource bases. The secretweapon: Westminster people, faculty and staff members who go the extra mileto inspire and truly educate deserving students, regardless of their backgroundor family income.American dreams start here. We’ve known it all along. We support Westminsterbecause of her authenticity, her focus on mission, and that certain sense ofplace and tranquility that defies description.With gratitude,R. Thomas Williamson

That forcegets significantly stronger when the magnets are closer, and weaker when theyare farther away. It is uncommon for introductory level courses to describehow much stronger or weaker,” said Caylor. “The lab we developed is a verysimple one that shows that halving the distance between the magnets wouldmake the force between them 16 times stronger. We can also show that theforce between a magnet and a piece of iron or steel would get approximately128 times stronger by halving the distance between them. Neither result issurprising; both are theoretically expected. The lab activity gives studentsan accessible way to experience it.”Visit www.westminster.edu/newsfor more details about these storiesand the latest Westminster information.Gift of GivingPatricia Litwinowicz M’73, niece of Victor FrankBeck ’54, presents Westminster College President R.Thomas Williamson with a check for $150,000 fromthe Beck estate.

InscriptionStyles&SurfacesBy Dr. Samuel A. Farmerie, M’61PPrior to developing this short monograph I asked anumber of individuals for input on inscription surfaces.A specific question was, in both the historical andcontemporary contexts, “What types of inscriptionalsurfaces come to mind?” The perceptions included paper,black boards, chalk boards, papyrus, cuneiform, concrete/cement(both fresh and cured), walls (for graffiti) and glass. How do theseperceptions correlate with human history?Over several millennia humans have used a wide variety of stylesand surfaces to illustrate life, engage in artistic expression and makenotes or leave records of various types. The styles vary from charcoalsketches to stylus impressions to glyphs to alphabets.Some of the surfaces are in the natural form (granite,sandstone or cave walls), while others are theresult of human processing (clay tablets,velum, pottery, metal or papyrus). Manyof these writing styles and surfaces are partof the College’s artifact collection.Perhaps the oldest inscriptive artifacts inthe collection are a cuneiform cone and cuneiformtablets from Mesopotamia (modern dayIraq) circa 2500 B.C. The collection includesinscribed stone fragments from The Valley of theKings and Saqqara (Egypt). We are all familiar withpapyrus but probably not aware of “poor man’s” papyrus,i.e., an ostracon. Ostracons are pottery shardswith inscriptions scratched into their surface decadesor even centuries later.The most intriguing inscriptive artifacts arevelum manuscripts. Velum is lamb or kid skin.These items were acquired in Yemen. The oldestis a velum with Arabic script that may pre-date theHejira (632 A.D.). Another may date earlier than 800A.D. The Sabaean script on one of the velums became passéabout that time. The collection also includes Hebrew script leathermanuscripts (circa 1200 A.D.)There is no means ofverifying the authenticityof the velumartifacts. If resourcesbecome available,modern sciencecould be applied todetermine the ageof the skins and thenature of the ink, but there is probably no means of verifyingthat the pen was applied to the skins centuriesago or if they are modern forgeries.What is so intriguing about theseanimal skin documents? About 30 yearsago workers were renovating a mosque inYemen. In the process, dozens of sacks ofold documents were discovered. Could itbe that these animal skin documents werepart of that hoard? Only the Lord knowsthe answer.Among the other holdings are inscriptionson (1) alabaster, (2) metal (aChinese Zodiac), (3) wood (a school boy’s“slate”), (4) a pane of grass from Hillside with student names etchedinto the surface and (5) a variety of other inscription surfaces/artifacts including pottery, musical instruments, mother of pearl,ivory, bone and, of course, paper. A number of the artifacts notedabove are on exhibit in the McKelvey Campus Center and theMack Library of the Hoyt Science Resource Center.Sam Farmerie, professor of education emeritus, serves as curatorof cultural artifacts at Westminster College. He is a regularcontributor to Westminster Magazine, providing updatesand facts about items currently on exhibit.16 www.westminster.edu

TITANTURFBurry Stadium to get a faceliftVarsity and intramural student-athletes,marching band members, visitorsand spectators will have an enhancedexperience thanks to a recently greenlighted$1.7 million renovation project of Veteran’sMemorial Field and Harold Burry Stadium.Artificial turf, lighting, a terraced entrance plaza, and bleacher renovationand replacement are all in the works for Burry Stadium. Construction of theproject will begin in summer 2008 for tentative completion by the start ofthe 2008 fall sports season.Fall 2007 • Westminster College Magazine 17

Burry StadiumA key feature of the project will bethe Joseph B. Fusco Plaza, a tribute tothe man who played and coached underBurry before leading the Titan footballteam to four national championships ashead coach from 1972-90 and beingelected to the College Football Hall ofFame in 2001.An attractive brick terrace adjacent toFuscoMemorial Field House, Fusco Plaza willinclude outdoor seating and will serve asan attractive gathering area and locationfor receptions and other events.Also planned is an entranceway namedin memory of Jerry C. Neff ’54, theWestminster Board of Trusteesmember and Towering TitanOrganization co-founder whopassed away on Oct. 2, 2007.Neff was a basketball player atWestminster in the early 1950sand a member of the Titan SportsNeffHall of Fame.The new arched entrywaynear the north end of the fieldwill provide a more visible, aesthetically-appealing andconvenient gateway to the field and stadium.Concessions will be located between the plaza andthe field.The centerpiece of the project will be the installationof artificial turf, which is expected to enhance therecruitment of football players and other studentathletes.The current natural grass surface is usedsparingly—and maintained extensively—to preserve itfor football home games.“There is absolutely no doubt that artificial turf and relatedimprovements will be a great help to the recruitment of studentathletesfor the football program,” said Jeff Hand, head footballcoach.Current and prospective student-athletes, however, willnot be the only benefactors of the addition of artificial turf andlighting.“The more even surface will contribute to greater easein execution of marching band drill work on the field andcontribute to less injury due to slipping (mud and ankle turnsand sprains) from the ruts that cannot be seen readily throughthe grass,” said R. Tad Greig, assistant professor of music anddirector of the marching band.“The great thing about artificial turf is its flexibility for servingdifferent sports and activities and its capacity for heavy use.This project will end up benefiting just about every student atWestminster College,” said Jim Dafler, director of athletics.In addition to the new synthetic field surface, stadium lightingwill also maximize scheduling opportunities for football andother varsity teams and campus groups.Lighting would enable the College to move practices slightlylater—reducing or eliminating student-athlete and band memberconflicts with late afternoon classes and labs—and would allowfor the evening scheduling of intramurals, various practices, andgeneral student and community recreational use.The 40-year-old wooden bleachers on the visitors’ side willbe replaced with modern units that meet all current safety andaccessibility codes. The home side bleachers will be renovatedfor ADA accessibility and safety code compliance.Questions regarding the Veterans Memorial FieldImprovement Project and naming opportunities should bedirected to Gloria C. Cagigas, vice president for institutionaladvancement, at (724)946-7368 or cagigagc@westminster.edu.Architectural rendering of the new Joseph B. Fusco Plaza18 www.westminster.edu

Bill Presspassed a resolution mandating all automobiles and SUVsmanufactured in 2011 and beyond in the U.S. must averagea minimum 35 miles per gallon. A resolution to grantamnesty to all undocumented aliens was defeated.“The 2007 convention exceeded my expectations,” saidDr. James Rhoads, associate professor of political scienceand faculty adviser to the convention. “It began with a greatkeynote address from Bill Press, continued with a seriousdebate on important issues, and ended with studentschoosing candidates for president and vice president.”“I think this experience helps make politics moreaccessible to our students,” he said. “They showed greatenthusiasm and created an atmosphere that made theconvention a lot of fun.”In the past, the convention was held early in thepresidential election year. This year’s event was moveto November due to national parties shifting their stateprimaries to earlier dates.The next mock convention will be held in 2011.Nearly 600 students, faculty, and staff participated in this year’sconvention, which featured nationally syndicated radio talk showhost Bill Press as the keynote speaker. A quadrennial event sinceits inception on the Westminster campus in 1936—with the exceptionof 1944, when it was not held due to World War II—the conventionis held for the party not currently in the White House.Edwards, the former U.S. senator from North Carolina, defeatedBarack Obama 204-198 on the third ballot. He led after the first twoballots, but did not receive a two-thirds majority on the first ballot,nor a majority on the second.Edwards’ campaign manager was Dan Milcarzyk, a senior historymajor from North Huntingdon.In platform issues, the delegates endorsed a withdrawal of U.S.forces from Iraq, beginning immediately, and to be completed byDec. 31, 2008. They endorsed a resolution calling on the nationalgovernment to recognize civil unions for same-sex couples, and20 www.westminster.edu
