in.Robert Frost, "The Runaway"

THERE'S something about NewYork City that boggles the mind.Be it the taxis, Broadway at night,or the people, call it the old "Bronxis up and the Battery's down"syndrome. 000 dah.

But there's another side to funcity that the ad men and evenMayor Lindsey don't talk too muchabout. That's the New York Citythat lures and subsequently de-vours kids. The young people thatthe city raises-it hardens, matures,and thereby protects; but thekids that it welcomes and adopts,the city often destroys.

There are currently in New YorkCity some 21 ,000 aoopted-run-aways. (According to FBI reports,in Baltimore and environs thereare 2,500. There are one million inthe country.) These are kids oftenfrom fine homes, upper middle ln-Come families, kids who are ledfrom their homes by a combinationof fantasy and frustration, a sortof fallout from the Route 66generation. Very few cities havelearned to deal with this problemadequately, and the nation isjust beginning to realize theenormity of the problem. SenatorBirch Bayh sponsored a bill lastsession of Congress (known as the"Runaway Act") to provide moniesfor programs dealing with run-aways. The Administration is op-posed to it, however.

Since the Bohemian Beatnik era,New York City's Greenwich Vll-lage has been a magnet andgathering place for these neophytenomads. Since 1964, it has alsobeen the center for Operation Eye-opener, located on Christopherstreet in the heart of the Villageand disguised as a mildmanneredLutheran Church (St. John's byname-the oldest Lutheran

December, 1972 page three

church in NYC). Operation Eye-opener began as an outgrowth ofa request by another Lutheranminister to St. John's pastor (andthis year's WMC Alumnus of theYear) Fred Eckhardt tor assistancein setting up a tour of the Villagefor his youth group. From thisalmost casual beginning to itspresent schedule of 60 groups andsome 2,000 kids in 1972, OperationEyeopener has proven itself botha successful lost and found forrunaways and a deterrent forpotential runaways.

After eight years of operation,the process is almost routine. Assoon as Pastor Eckhardt is askedby parents to help find a missingchild, he copies all pertinent in-formation and gives it to his"special agents" (his parishyoungsters). Reared in the Villageand familiar with the surroundingpizza parlors, tinned-up ware-houses, and with local hustlers,these' agents boast a 50-90%return rate. Although OED isinitiated by necessity and operatedby Pastor Eckhardt, the spirit ofthe program clearly belongs to thekids: the Marks, Jerrys, Johns,Terrys, and Walts, to be exact.

It's 5 o'clock on a Friday after-noon and Mark is the OED agentto report in to Pastor Eckhardt'soffice, the rendezvous point for theweekend workshop. Mark is 16,a student at the Bernard BaruchCollege of Business and Admin-istration and an original S1. John'sstalwart. He introduces himselfand stares right through my eyesas if he's reading something onthe inside of my head, an intenseyoung man though a little un-sure of his words.

Mark is clearly our tour guide,narrator, and friend for the dura-tion. There are four of us in hischarge as we set off on a brieftour through the Village and a tripto a methadone center. With meare three college students, Claudia,Barb, and David, from SusquehannaUniversity in Pennsylvania whowant to do a slide series on theOED in hopes of starting a collegebranch of the same kind of or-ganization. Pastor Eckhardt isdriving. It is raining when wearrive at the center and it's rain-

ing when we [eave it. Mark pointsout the "sights" as we travelon side streets from the 12th streetdrug center.

"We pick up most of the kids inthis area," he gestures towards~ome warehousey-looking build-mqs. Pastor E. turns onto 11thstreet and Mark continues, "Thereare a lot of crash pads aroundhere ... cheap housing ... allthese houses tinned-up and kidsactually live here with no heat... no water ... no nothing. .."

We're still going by the tinned-up houses when Barb spies agroup of small children playing onsteps. They are the only sign oflife on the block.

"Do those kids live there?"Barb asks increduously. "Tragic,"Fred and Mark say together, simply.

"How in this city do you ever~!nd one runaway?" Fred says,You frequent their haunts, you

work hard, and you get lucky."Mark recounts the story of a

father who stopped by S1. John'safter the police and a privatedetective' had spent a week inNew York vainly searching forsome trace of his 16-year-old run-away daughter. When he men-tioned that she had taken a clarinetwith her, one of the OED kidsfound a youngster who recalledseelnq a young girl with a clarinetIn a slum building on East 2ndstre~t. Within minutes, the girl wasreunited with her father and happyto be on her way home.

We're going past Sf. Marks,Tomkins Square, and the FillmoreEast. Cooper Union looms besideus and Mark offers. "That's whereAbraham Lincoln spoke ..

"Smoked???""Spoke," says Mark smiling.We continue past a burglar

alarm going off on Third street,across Lafayette and Broadway,past Folk City and a Uni-Sex HairStylist, and we're at the parish door.A Scene resembling a family re-union now takes place. Hand-shakes, warm smiles, and muchlaughte,r as the three college kidsweet another Christopher streetIrregular, Jerry Cagiao.

"right hand." Young Jerry andJohn, his sons, are the next twoto report in. John is an older look-ing 16-year-old with the curlyCagiao coif curling tightly aroundhis head thanks to heredity and thehumidity, not necessarily in thatorder. John always carries anumbrella, wears his long blackraincoat, and a big wide smile.

Jerry, 19, looks like an ad for a"fifties are alive and well in NYC"campaign. Cut from the FrankieAvalon-Paul Anka mold, loose,honest, and sincere, Jerry is avery special presence. In "reallite" he is a stock expediter ("I findlost stock") for a large firm onWall street. Everyone gravitatestowards Jerry.

Terry Me Kearny has a BrendanBehan-ish build and complexion.At 20, he looks older than hisyears: cautious, but friendly. Atfive days old, Terry's family hadsent him to his grandparents to beraised, where he remained.

-wnere's Walter?" Terry asks."He said he was on the way and

he'd be here at 8:30"-John.Jerry-"That means 9:30.""10," Terry offers.

And at 10 til 10, 20 minutes afterthe arrival of this week's workshopweekend group (some 25 strong)from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania'sAscension Lutheran Church incame WaIter. '

Walter (black) is the oldest 23the tallest, 6' 2", clearly the leaderof the pack, and the only guy Iknow who could wear red, green,a~d ~Iack shoes and get awaywith It. Walter has just spent 45minutes traveling cross town (hisfamily has moved to the Bronx)to greet the group and brief themon what lies ahead. He lookstired. Or maybe he just looks likehe OUGHT to look tired.

After Pastor E. sets down' theground rules for the group, theyturn to Walter who asks, "What doyou know about the Village?""A place for queers, oddballs"someone offers. '

"Runaway kids," says a Beth-lehemian.

"Well, most of the things youhear about the Village are true, theoutcropping (Village for slumlandlord), the slums, and I love ithere. Despite everything. I loveit here."

A siren shrieks outside some-where and Walter continues withthe orientation and schedule forthe weekend. After a pizza anddance party, everyone goes to bed.

Saturday morning began with(of all things) more rain and agrace offered by the youth advisorfor the Bethlehem church. "Showus things that will open our eyesto the world and to those aroundus."

Amen.Two former drug addicts speak

to the group in the morning. Then,another jaunt through the Villagetakes place with Walter leadingthe way, John and Mark in themiddle, and Jerry bringing up therear. Our destination is HorizonHouse--a center for drug-free re-habilitation. As we enter, theOEOers wait outside. They'veheard all of this a thousand timesbefore.

"You don't value your life. Themost important part of the pro-gram here is the people. We helpeach other, we get close to oneanother. We can see each otherbetter than we see ourselves."Claudia's taking notes almost asfuriously as I am. Outside again andsurrounded protectively by thefearsome foursome, we set outacross the Village uptown to theNYU hideout, Hungry Charley's.Terry's there already and meets usat the door like he's welcomingus to his house.

Inside, the juke box is playing astrange combination of soundsincluding "Ben," "A Closer WalkWith Thee," and "Old Joe Clark."Jerry, John, Terry, and I are talkingabout the program and their in-volvement when Walter arrivesplate in hand. Motioning towardJerry he says, "Move over Man."

"~ot me man, I'm prejudiced.

Walt grins, makes a lot of noises,and finds a 14-year-old Beth-lehem girl sitting by herself inthe middle of the room.

Jerry explains that he and hisbrother got involved with "ThePastor" as the two families becameentwined with growing kids. "I'mreally tight with the pastor's son,and his mom's like my mom.They're a second family ..

Waiter's back now with threedollars in his hand, waving it atJerry.

"Hey man do me a favor, givethis to the lady sitting next tomy table and tell her you found iton the floor.. "

"Not me," says Jerry.John-"I wil1." He grabs the

money.John follows practically on Walt's

heels back to the table in themiddle of the room. Suddenlythere's a burst of laughter andWalt's making a mock attempt tochase John around the joint.

Thoroughly confused now, I askJerry to explain what happened.

"Well, you see Walt used to liftmoney from people .... Youknow to make a few bucks ... andevery now and then, Walt likes towell, sort of keep his hand inthings-literally."

A breathless John returns to thetable.

"What did you tell the lady?""I said 'Here, Walt lifted this

from your purse ... .' " There's thatbig smile again.

We are endlessly processingthrough the Village. To StatenIsland, China Town, the Bowery,and NYC criminal night court. Forthe latter three areas, we are in thesale protection of the OEOers. Fredremains at the parish to writeSunday's sermon.

Outside the courtroom Walt getsas stern as I've seen him. "Youwill not talk and you will not getup and down in the courtroom. Wewill all leave the courtroom at theappotntad time."

Inside, an endless processionof people are led before the judge(How many times have you seenthat sentence before?) and anauctioneer-type of justice is of-fered: "Possession of weapons-felony; Possession of drugs-mis-demeanor; bail-$3,SOO; bail-$1,200; bail-$7S0; bail- $7,000.Who represents this defendant?? ?"

A strange quiet guy is calledup before the judge. Before theclerk reads the charges, bothlawyers ask to approach the bench.

Judge--"OK we'll waive thereading of the charges and the de-fendant will make full restitution

for the window. Case dismissed."A small voice beside me says,

"Makes you kind of wonder whathe threw through the window ...

As we leave the courtroom t~eother agents are waiting. They vedecided it's too wet to walkthrough the Bowery tonig~,t. "Therewon't be anything to see. Sowe seek the nearest subway andreturn to the parish, more cokes,

an~U~~a~~gins with another Vil-lage walk and a wrap-up rapsession.

This time all the OEDers arepresent and make their presencefelt. Walt starts. "Did you. s~~ewhat you expected to see .10Village?" Sifence. "Well did yOUSEE WHAT YOU EXPECTED TOSEE? ? ?"

Walt can't wait. "What can benicer than living with people youcan talk to? People who judge youfor what you are. Who don't worryabout what you look like. Youcan talk the way you want to talk.If people don't like it they'lltell you about it. They don't hideanything or talk behind your back."

At the end of the session, weall eat lunch together, addressesare exchanged, there are hugs andsoul shakes. (Those hand shakesthat are warmer because morethan a hand is extended. A handshake that speaks for a generation,that embarrasses businessmen,and dislocates the thumb of theunprepared.)

Next week the OEOers will geta treat. They'll go visit anotherparish in Pennsylvania, an ex-change trip for one made earlierin the year. The same appliesfor the weekend following. Thenanother group will visit the Villageand so it goes for almost everyweekend of the year. And eventhough the visitation program hasgotten down to a science, thespirit, the emotion, and the purposeof it hasn't.

A poem written to the OEOgroup following a visit severalmonths ago is pasted in the group'sscrapbook.

IF YOU are interested in thewhole problem of women inemployment, if you demon-

strated to open Baltimore restau-rants to black women, or if youworked with young women whowere in prison as a result of civilrights protests in the South-ifyou can relate to all of this, youwill better understand ThyraFischer's involvement with Womenin Community Service.

The 1936 graduate was a teacherat one time and has a daughterand she is concerned about youngwomen trying to get jobs. Shehad an idea that young peoplecould be trained for employmentand knew the schools were notdoing it. She also worried becausesociety was giving up on a lotof young people who should notbe abandoned.

Thyra Fischer is convinced thateveryone should have an equalopportunity in life and she admitsto always hoping for more thancan be accomplished. In additionshe believes that people on thewhole are basically good and kindand want to be and will be if theyunderstand what someone istrying to accomplish.

"We have most of our prob-lems," she says, "because peoplefail to realize the whys. If youcan talk to them and if they willlisten, you can bring them around"... on such matters as prejudice,for example.

page eight

Of course Thyra Fischer meetssome who only shout but shethinks that part of understandingis doing some listening herself."Sometimes the shouter's reasonsare helpful and you can get adifferent understanding of theproblem," she says.

It takes, apparently, that kindof background and that kind ofunderstanding of people to be headof a national organization withthe scope and the goals of WICS(they pronounce it WICKS, as incandles).

In December, 1964 Mrs. Fischer,who was chairman of leadershipeducation for Church WomenUnited, was invited by the Office0.1 Economic Opportunity to meetwith a group in Washington andfind some way to help girls heldback by poverty. As a result of themeeting, WICS formed and agreedto recruit young women for JobCorps training. Boys at this timewere being taken care of throughthe Government Employment Ser-vice but girls were not. The WICSorganizers and some peoplein Congress felt that youngwomen between 16 and 21 shouldbe allowed to benefit from theJob Corps.

They recognized, though, thatyoung women would need specialattention. Interviews would haveto be arranged with families ofprospective trainees so that parentscould understand the program.

This was especially necessary withcertain rural residents, Indians,and Spanish-speaking peoples whowill not let their daughters leavehome or who have a history ofbeing over-protective of theirdaughters. .

The organization was formed In

December, January, and Februarywith Thyra Fischer traveling crosscountry to get things started.The Job Corps centers for youngwomen opened in March, 196?There are now 225 local organiza-tions working with young womenas well as the national WICS. Atone time there was a WICS or-ganization in each state. Now theyoperate in 45 states and the DIS-

trict of Columbia. In the rest, thestate employment service hastaken over some of the WICSservices. .

This month WICS celebrates Itseighth birthday. In that time be-tween 49,000 and 50,000 youngwomen have been sent to JobCorps Centers and 220,000.othergirls' lives and those of theirfamilies have been touched byWICS. When a volunteer goes intoa young woman's home for ~ninterview, she frequently notl~esa brother who needs help or Infor-mation or perhaps a family healthproblem. The volunteer can ref,erthese people to proper agencies.

wo~~nS f~~~~eP~~~ng~~/so~;r~Ughposters, TV ads, talks in com-munity centers, and through re-ferrals. Social workers and schoolsalso send young women for i.nter-views. Volunteers do not go IOtaschools. They do not want toencourage young people to ?ropout and will work to get a girlback in school rather than in atraining center if that looks moreadvisable for her. Every inquiryis followed up. Sometimes anotherprogram looks more benefic.ialfor a girl and the volunteer Willsteer her in that direction.

Mrs. Fischer thinks that youngwomen get very special help inBaltimore. WICS volunteers theregive a young woman individualattention before she goes to theCenter for training. Perhaps she .has never been through a oatetenaline, doesn't have the right clothes

The HILL

and really doesn't know muchabout clothing, or her knowledgeof English is such that she cannotfollow the directions which comeover the loudspeaker at theCenter. She doesn't know what"Report to ... " means or sheattends a lecture on lesbianismwithout understanding the word.WICS volunteers try to prepareyoung women for experiences andactivities unlike anything theyhave ever encountered in theirfives. Otherwise, the training cen-ter can be a traumatic experience.Mrs. Fischer says, "we hadn'tthought very much about that" atfirst. Now volunteers try to pre-pare the you ng women.

Once the girl is at the Center,WICS does not drop her. [f shegets sick or injured or needs herfamily, the W[CS organizationgoes into action. No young woman,Mrs. Fischer indicates, shouldfeel abandoned far away from al!that is familiar.

WICS also is there when the girlgraduates from a training center.Employment service, Thyra Fischersays, does not touch the area ofsupport services for these girlsand they de need help after leavingthe Job Corps Center. WICSvolunteers have become involvedwith the need for [ow cost hous-ing, day care centers, and thesearch for jobs-all the variousthings a young woman needs to getsettled and started in a new life.

And while Thyra Fischer can citeincident after incident of thesatisfactions WICS volunteers haveexperienced through helpingsomeone make a first step out ofpoverty, she admits discourage-~ent is always at hand. ThereIS the girl with whom a volunteerhas spent hours to get her readyf~r the training center-and the~Ir[ does not show up. Or, thereIS the girl who suddenly decidesto leave a center where apparentlyshe IS doing well.

As Mrs. Fischer points out, thevOlunteers must remember thatthey are dealing with young people~ho have tremendous problems,problems that would overwhelm

most of us and at times theycan't help but overwhelm theseyoungsters."

Mrs.Fischer laughingly says that shehas noted throughout her longvolunteer experience that womenwith honorary doctorates are nevercalled doctor-men are. That isone more insight for the workwith WICS.

They NeedUnderstanding,And Love

SOME people are better equippedto handle their problems thanothers and young people are

least able of all to solve their ownproblems.

The Board of Child Care of theUnited Methodist Church exists foryoung people who need help andneed it quickly because theirproblems are real and basic. Asthe brochure of the Board explains,"They need decent food; they needdecent clothing; and they needdecent housing. And most of all,they need understanding and love."

Claude Libis, '49, is director ofthe Board which helps in severalways: guidance for unwed mothers;placement of children for adop-tion; providing foster homes forchildren, even families of children;and by providing love and carefor emotionally disturbed children.

The child care residence for 60teenage boys and girls nearRandallstown continues the workof the Kelso Home for Girls andthe Strawbridge Home for Boys andadministers the Swartzell As-sembled Families. It is here thatClaude libis has his offices.

He points out that the current

residential center is different fromthe Kelso and Strawbridge Hqr:nes.They were for orphans. This ~~biSnot as big a problem today, I

says, adding that the curren\hH_problem may be worse. Todaydren are without parents because

tsof broken homes, because p.arenmay be in jailor mental institu-tions, or because their parent~~:dhave deserted them. Often ahas never known mor~ than on;aveparent. That same child mayspent his or her life in a senesof foster homes, being movedaround once or twice a year. it

center because of their age rangeand because it is a place wherethey can live in relatively smallgroups (there are twelve to acottage) with the supervision of amarried couple. Also, public schoolopportunities are available in thearea, including special educationand vocational classes.

There now are on-groundsclasses tor a few of the youngpeople who can't make it in publicschools. Claude Llbls explainsthat they can handle the workint~lIectually but, as a result oftheir problems and from constantmoving, they have gotten behindth~ir age group. Often thesechlldr~n become behavioral prob-lems. In class. If they are in apublic school and find they can'tread at the level of their class-mates, they soon get into trouble.On-grounds classes allow themto catch up at their own speed.

The children at the center alsobenefit from the presence of a staffof trajn~d caseworkers. Thesepeople are on the grounds everyday and are in continuous contactwith the children. A psychologistIS on call and on the grounds oneday a week. Ltbla says his staff isdetermined to hold on to a childonce he or she enters the center.There is no place else for thembut a state training school or amental hospital.

The director says the center hashad a good rate of success but hedoes not claim 100 percentsue-cess. He does point out, however,that children do not leave thecenter to go into crime and event-ually to jails. In the ten yearsthe center has been in operation,he says, there has been only onereq~est from a prison for infor-mation about a former resident.When Libis worked in a stateinstitution, he had requests fromsuch agencies every day aboutpeople formerly in the institution.But, he says firmly, "that doesn'thappen here." And, only rarely hasthere been entrance into a mentalhospital

Claude Libis and his staff wouldlike each of the children to finishhigh school but find that for manyth~ lure of a job and what theythink of as freedom is too much.

December, 1972

It is a real struggle, he says, tokeep children in school since theyhave little concept of what itmeans to be completely on theirown. In obvious pride, he talksabout those who have gone on tocollege. On the other hand, Libisfeels that because of their lack ofsufficient education many of theyoung people are getting moreordinary kinds of jobs than they areintellectually equipped to handle.Some marry people they have metwhile in residence. A lot, he says,keep returning to the center to visitand talk with people they haveknown there.

Libis says that the center has awarm relationship with the rapidlyexpanding community which isgrowing up around it. The childrenare in the public schools, theyattend the two United Methodistchurches in the area, the center'srecreation field is open to thecommunity. There are no fences,no locked rooms.

But the center is not Libis'only interest. Counseling unwedmothers, he says, is a changingproblem because many no longerseek the help of agencies. Coun-seling takes the form of planningwith the young women how theywill care for their babies, gettingthem to maternity homes, assuringthem that adoption is a responsibleaction, and also assuring themthat other things are possible. Moreand more unwed mothers, Libissays, are keeping their children.

The adoption program, accord-ing to the director, is a "happykind of thing," as compared tocontact with young people introuble. The problem here is thatthere are more people askingfor babies than the agency hasbabies for adoption.

The Board also supervises 19children living in private homes.Here foster parents are in chargeof children who are not nearly asdisturbed as those at the center.Children placed in foster homesare reasonably well-adjusted, thedirector thinks, and they might bethrown off balance by living inthe center. They don't need to livewhere so many other people'sproblems are being worked outaround them. These children fre-

quently are younger, anyway, asthere is no age limit in this pro-gram. Llbls feels that any child whocan live in a foster home shouldbe in one.

To describe the Swartzell As-sembled Family Proqram. Libis firsthad to talk about a situation whichobviously upset him. Accordingto this quiet, soft-spoken man, thelargest institution for dependentand neglected children in theUnited States was Junior Villagein Washington, D. C. There were900 children in this facility locatedbetween a junk car lot and asewage disposal facility. Libissaid if authorities had searched fora more inappropriate place forchildren with problems, theycouldn't have found it.

Harper's magazine ran an articleon the facility in 1963 which stirredthings up, Libis said. Three orfour years ago contact was madeand, with support from theSwartzeJl trustees, Libis begangetting children out of JuniorVillage.

For this program the Boardbought three houses and rentedfive. A couple was found to livein each home. The wife is on theBoard's payroll and the husbandcontinues with his own job. TheBoard pays for running the house-light, heat, and rent-and thecouple agrees to receive fivechildren and make a home forthem. Libis says that 38 childrenare now involved and that the pro-gram has worked out well, which,he says, shows what can be doneif you find the right thing for theright child. In each of the homesthere is a group of siblings plusother children. These families areencouraged to be like other healthyfamilies in the neighborhood. Thisincludes subscribing to pools, etc.

Some pretty disturbed childrenare in thi~ program, Libis says, andtwo full-time caseworkers workwith them. Some of the childrenare in group therapy. The majorpoint of Swartzell, according tothe director, is to get children outof Junior Village so that theyhave a chance to grow up anddevelop. He feels it is a modestprogram in relation to the total needbut other organizations are taking

page eleven

Claude Llbis chats with teen..agers at theBaltimore Center. similar action. The total result

is an order tor Junior Village toclose down.

Claude Libis is a concerned man.He seems continually worriedabout the large number of childrenfor whom the various programs headministers have no room. Hehas no answer.

While he has no answer to theseproblems, Libls does have a per-sonal goal to "somehow providewhatever children need to growup and overcome the traumatic •things which have happened tothem in the past. Many have muchmore to overcome than others."

The hardest thing, the directorfeels, is to help the children acquirea feeling that "this is a ratherfriendly world, that they don't haveto constantly fight it and be afraid."You do this, he thinks, by work-ing with them day by day.

THERE is an amazing resurgenceof interest in religion amongthe youth. Witness the presence

of Hare Krishna dlsclples in urbancenters, the interest in Zen andother forms of Eastern meditation,the fascination for the occult,and the increased number ofPentecostals in both generations.Secular expressions of this phe-nomenon are rock festivals andencounter groups.

This new spirituality is a re-action against certain overem-phases in the very recent historyof our society-against material-ism and technology in the nameof nature; against individualismand loneliness in the name ofcommunity; against activism in thename of "getting our heads to-gether"; against rationalism in thename of feeling and the sacra-mental; against the mass, rigidstructures of society in the nameof the personal and human.

One of the most visible andpublicized current expressions ofthe youth culture's spiritual quest

is the Jesus Movement. Like f'!'ostsocia-religious movements, Itis exceedingly more complexthan envisioned by most observers.it is not easily typed. .

The movement (some call It afad) began in California aboutfive years ago and has grownrapidly since. There are at least rfour groups of people found unde tthe aegis of the Jesus Movemen .

1. Jesus Freaks. Technically,these people are almost ex-clusively ex-drug addicts. Ratherthan being "freaked-out" on acid,they are "freaked-out" on Jesus.They are stoned on the Lord. oras they say, "Jesus is the uttlmatetrip." Instead of pushing herem,they are now pushing Jesus, andoften just as aggressively. Phar- kmaceutical mysticism did not warand this is an attempt to have amore natural high. .

It appears that the converSIonfrom drugs to Jesus has .re:ultedin a disciplined, rigid life In 10-verse proportion to the uncon-trolled, ad hoc, unstructured

The HILL

3. Campus Crusade. This is oneof the fastest growing segmentsof the Jesus Movement on uni-versity campuses. It is an extensionof the more establishment-orientedInter-Varsity Fellowship. The latterwill even talk to college chap-lains!

The Crusade's program centersaround Bible study and zealouswitnessing within the frame of"four spiritual laws." 1. God lovesyou and has a wonderful planfor your life. 2. Man is sinful andseparated from God. 3. Jesus Christis God's only provision for man'ssin. 4. We must individually re-ceive Jesus Christ as Savior andLord. Equipped with these lawsand appropriately supportivescriptural texts, Campus Crusade

existence typical of the member'sformer life.

However, something has hap-pened to these addicts and thecredit is given to Jesus and theHoly Spirit, much to the amazementof medical authorities who havefound it virtually impossible tohelp addicts kick their habits.

2. Children of God. This is themost radical expression of themovement. Now numbering about3,000 members, they live in com-munes scattered throughout theUnited States and Europe. Onecommune is as close as UnionBridge, about 10 miles from West-minster.

The sect was founded byevangelist David Berg in 1968.Wooing youth away from their par-

They are fundamentalists intheology, but unlike most funda-mentalists, the Children of Godcondemn the "corrupt Americansystem," Le., capitalism, publiceducation, etc. In fact, many 01them have left the United Statesfor Canada and Europe becausethey feel America's heart ishardened and soon will be harshlyjudged by God.

expects to "reach every personin North America for Christ" by1976.

Converts to this group have notusually experienced the nightmareof drugs, typical of the freaks.They are mostly middle class kidswho have been convinced thatJesus is the answer to theirbrokenness and emptiness by areasoning process that is, givencertain key premises, logical andBiblical.

4. Winsome Conservatives. Anappreciable number of very ap-pealing, sincere young peoplewho cannot be subsumed easilyunder the first three categoriesare nevertheless a part of themovement. They would generallyfind their own church and religioustraining deficient at certain stra-tegic points, i.e., inadequate au-thority, absence of personal expe-rience, and a lack of closefellowship. They study their Bible,say their prayers, and seek outlike-minded peers to praise theLord. In the circles in which mostof us travel, we are apt to meetthis example of the movement.

This is an attempt to suggestthat the Jesus Movement is multi-faceted with Similarities and dif-ferences. Among the former wouldbe its biblicism, pentecostalism,apocalyptic sense (Jesus is com-ing soon), and an absolute certaintythey are right. This combinationof emotion and desperation hasbeen described by one observeras if "the last night of summercamp were being held in the sink-ing hold of the 'Titanic.' "

The differences range from theflip-flop from drugs in the Jesusfreaks to the ascetic communes ofthe Children of God to the lessemotional, more studious CampusCrusaders to the traditional pietyof normal fundamentalism.

We cannot assume that the cur-rent interest in conversion toJesus is just the same as when ayoung person "got religion" 20years ago in Protestant revivalisticChristianity. The language is oftenthe same: "So and so became aChristian last night," "Praise theLord," "Do you have the baptismof the Spirit?" and the experienceof conversion, itself, is usually

page sixteen

described in the same manner.But whereas 20 years ago a

convert would have probably foundhis way into an institutional churchand identified with a denomina-tion, a great number of Jesuspeople remain outside the stan-dard-brand churches and aresimply indifferent to denominations.There is a radical ecumenicityamong the Jesus people-Cath-olics, Protestants, and some Jewsworship, pray, and study togetherwithout an eyebrow being lifted.Their question is not, "Where isthe Church?" but "Where is theHoly Spirit present in power?"

This should not have an entirelyunfamiliar ring to United Meth-odists. Remember John Wesley'slittle Jesus movement in Englandabout two hundred years ago? In-deed, just as the Anglican Churchcould not absorb those socialmisfits who followed Wesley, somost churches today (including,ironically enough, the UnitedMethodists) are easily threatenedby the counter-cultural accouter-ments of youth for Jesus, includ-ing long hair, jeans, and informalstyle of life. This is why the churchcannot confidently and paternal-istically claim, "Well, in time, theywill come back to us." The re-turns are not in and my suspicionis that unless or until the estab-lished churches become muchmore flexible and the Jesus Move-ment much more establishment,we will have parallel institutions.

Further, the Jesus people, alongwith youth generally, are muchmore demonstrative than theirparents were a generation ago.Embracinq, touching, dancing,tears, and laughter represent anunself-consciousness about thebody, void of the sexual hang-upsof many adults This is why wor-ship with them is so refreshing(and unnerving for some oldsters).There is a recovery of the totalself in the movement of praisetoward God.

In my judgment we can affirm,indeed learn, from the desire ofthe youth to feel deeply, expe-rience personally the reality ofGod; to participate in the ecstaticdimension of life and to be joyfuland celebrattve in worship; to

take seriously commitment anddedication to Jesus; to know whatis the content of Christian faith;to find a simplicity in an in-credibly complex and unmanage-able society; and to share in the.intimacy of a close-knit community.

On the other hand, questionsmay be raised about the move-ment's elitism and self-righteous~ness ("us" and "them" syncrorne):its anti-intellectualism (the repett-tion of biblical verses whichamount to non-answers); itstendency to program the HolySpirit (someone once said: "Th~Spirit blows where He wills"); Itscovert anti-semitism (all those"Jesus: One Way" signs); its. .inclination to attract the addictiveand authoritative type of person-ality and an advocacy of a pr!vatesalvation which often results 10an a-political stance. .

I want to say "yes" to this be-ginning; but my concern is that fJesus people move from a ~uJt 0Jesus to a more comprehenSiveChristian theology centeringaround God's reconciling love forall people ,jn Christ. This couldallow them to move from the letterof the law to the Spirit of the law,from law to gospel, from bOn?ageto "spiritual laws" to freedom In

"Dear Charlotte,"Thank you for your note asking for

some news Irom me. I regret having notkept in touch with the class, however, myone brief year on the Hill hardly qualifiesme as a Hill newsmaker.

In August, I received a letter under theletterhea~ of .Pepsi-ColaBottling Companyof Attennc City. That's tight: it was fromOtts Broil, II seems that there was ~I) oc-casion entitled: First Annual FiShing Tripof the WMC Class of 1929 on the yacht"Spring Fever."

It'~ difficult to think of the Hill, Home-commg, and football while listening toGerman. Bands and heisting up the biggestbeerstelns one ever saw and saying, "goodluck for one more October-fest." tt's diffi_cult to think of the Blue Ridge all gay andsoft with autumn colors while looking atthe Alps all snowy and craggy and seeingevery o.ther passing car topped with sk>isIt's difficult to think ?f turkey, cranberry:and pumpkin pies while enjoying pancakesoup and stlces ot venison.

Yet we do think of all these things and~ore too because they 'are all our heritage.First of all, Doey and I 'are Americans andare glad to be back 'home once more.

However, this is a news column andsome news did get across the Atlantic andsome Western Marylanders did too. Be-fore we left, Hannah Hecht wrote fromHavre de Grace that the family businessand the Soroptimist 'Club kept her fartoo busy to retire. News was forwarded tous by the Alumni Office that Ruth HobbsChapin 'h'ad retired from teaching in Balti-more City and that she and her husband,Ted, toured southward last 'March and en-joyed the beautiful southern, homes andgardens.

Phil, '52, 'and Ruth Uhrig paid us a wel-come visit at Dolphin Square, introduced usto the fun of eating at the old Englishpubs, and brought us news from the Hilland from Western Marylanders living inEngland.

Clarence Knox and his wife almost got tosee us. At least, he carried our address inhis pocket and sent me news of his sum-mer jaunt on the continent. He, his wife,daughter, and her German-speaking boyfriend visited England, Holland, Belgium,Germany, Switzerland, liechtenstein, andAUstria. They bedded and breakfasted inEngland 'and zlmmered on the other sideof the channel. They bring back with them"many pleasant memories of the beautifulRh'ine Valley, the natura) beauty of thecountry side, the small village inns, thegood food In Germany, the good peoplewith whom they lodged, and many otherpleasantries of the trip."

Fortunately quick action onthe part of several of the trustees, the staff,and even some volunteers off the streetresulted in the major part of the ccnec-tions being saved.

Change andLaw and Tradition

IT HAS been said that traditionsare glue holding togethersociety. A character in a con-

temporary musical says that be-cause of traditions "everyoneknows who he is."

But traditions change as societydoes and recently they have beendropped as often as they arechanged. There are those who seethis as a cause of ills in the worldtoday.

The editor and the board have

referred to this issue during theplanning months as "the law andorder one," using the currentcatch phrase even though TheHILL did not intend an in-depthstudy of crime. The phrase hasrelevance to this issue, though,because laws hold society together;they are a form of tradition. Twoalumni discuss changes in therole of police and of the courts.

To bring it all a bit closer, astudent looks at tradition on the

Criminal Justice: An Emerging Professionand Academic Discipline

by Franklin G Ashburn, '53

"There is a destiny thai makes us

brothers,None goes his way alone,All that we send into the lives of

others,Comes back into his own."

-Edwin Markham

SOMEONE, somewhere has saidthat "Wise men are instructedby reason; men less under-

standing, by experience; the mostignorant by necessity; and beasts,by nature." On this premise, animpartial appraisal of the manyhappenings in our society todaymight indicate that we rely toomuch on necessity and nature inour relationships with each other.Nowhere does this seem to bemore apparent than in that area ofhuman behavior arbitrarily definedas being "criminal" and in thatsystem we have devised to copewith the problems of crime.

Certainly there does not seemto be much logic or reason behindbehavior that is self-destructive,deeds that are reckless and irre-sponsible, crimes that are sense-less, and conduct that is degradingto the individual. Yet, each newsrelease and daily telecast providesample evidence to support theconclusion that "this is where weare." Nor does it seem logicalor reasonable that we should beapproaching, almost haphazardly,the 21st century with problemsof industrialization, massive anddegenerating urban complexes,

poverty, and crime with archaicsocial institutions designed tomeet the ~eeds of 19th centuryrural America.

One such institution that hascom~ under consistent attack fromall Sides has been the criminaljustice system with its variouscomponents-the police, the pros-ecutor, the court, and corrections.Each component has, in its turnbeen criticized for its inability tomeet the demands for socialcontrol and justice in a rapidlychanging, fre~ society. Todaythe regular critics have been'joined by scholars, judges, mem-bers of the clergy and policeofficials. As an example, PatrickV. Murphy, Police Commissionerof New York City, recently indi-cated that he "did not know ofany i.urisdictio.n where the agen-cres Involved In the criminal proc-ess are really working togetheras a system." Then too, certainsegments of American societymost notably the ethnic minoritiesand young people, have expressedgenerally hostile altitudes towardthe system, and particularly to-ward the pollee. To further cornptt,cate matters, the 'hue and cry for"law and order" as well as the ap-peal to return to the "good old dayof the past" is raised from several squa~ers. Such controversy tendsto hinder rather than facilitatethe development of innovative pro-grams which will enable us to

deal rationally with the presentand future pro'blem of crime.

While some may view this pes-simistic picture with alarm anddismay, the weight of historicalexperience actually leans towarda more favorable outlook. Inade-quate as they are in their presentstate, the police, the courts, andcorrections have started to makethose adjustments necessary toraise their performance to a moreprofessional level. Many of thesecriminal justice components arefighting a history of neglect, poorpublic image, and unenlightenedthinking; but all are asking thelarger society for guidance anddirection.

The structure and function ofany criminal justice system of thefuture will be determined to alarge extent, by other SOCj~1forces~nd institutions of society. OneInstitution that can have a signifi-cant impact on this tr'anstormationi~ that of higher education, par-ticularly in the liberal arts tradition.Education and professional train-ing is now a high priority activitynationwide among practitionersin the criminal justice system andthis appears to be a long-termtrend. There is a generally recog-nized need to combine real worldexperience with sound theoreticalknowledge.

It might be well to recall atthis juncture, that the liberal artstradition itself has not been with-

out its critics over the years.Thorstein Veblen used the phrase"trained incapacity" to refer tothe inability of sociologists andothers to deal with simple issuesthey could have dealt with hadthey not had professional training.On the contemporary scene, Her-man Kahn, among others, is con-cerned about our "educatedincapacity" to deal with the socialissues of American politics,particularly in the areas of law andorder, busing, pornography, andthe like.

It therefore seems reasonableto assume that an independentliberal arts college such as West-ern Maryland, with its academicraison d'etre being that of thesearch for truth and understand-ing, is in an excellent positionto contribute to the solution ofthis dilemma between theory andpractice in the criminal justicefield. As a matter of fact, WesternMaryland College has recognizedand accepted this challenge.

Beginning with the secondsemester of academic year 1972-1973, a new course entitled LawEnforcement and Criminal Justicewill be offered in the departmentof sociology. This course will pro-vide students with the opportunityto evaluate police practices aspart of maintaining order in thecommunity and protecting thepublic.

MANAGEMENT OF THE COURTS

"The Nation has turned increasinglyto the courts to cure deep-seated ills01 our society-and Ihe courts have re-eponded: as a result, they have bur-dens unknown to the legal system ageneration ago."

President Richard M. Nixon

IN THE late 1830's Alexis deTocqueville shrewdly observedthat almost every issue of im-

portance in America ultimatelyends up in the courts.' The Frenchstatesman made that statementwhen courts in the United Stateswere meeting the needs for whichthey were originally designed-those of a rural population. Some135 years after de Tocquevitlemade his comment, America'scrucial issues are still destined forthe ,judicial system, but yester-day s rural courts are proving HI-suited for today's urban-orientedsociety. With few exceptions, thecou rts have not responded todemands for new techniques tocope with increases in both vel-

~~~o~~d scope of court juris-

The demands for moderniza-tion of the administration of justiceare not new; they are as old asthe law. In a speech before theAmerican Bar Association in 1906,Roscoe Pound urged the courtsto adopt organizational reformswhich would reduce the "causes

of popular dissatisfaction withthe administration of [ustice."The speech was heralded as thebeginning of administrative reformin the courts, but after more than65 years, little has changed.

During the decade of the 1960's,the media spotlight often focusedupon the nation's courts and re-vealed many substantive andadministrative inadequacies in oursystem of justice. In response torequirements imposed upon thecriminal justice system by UnitedStates supreme Court decisions,stop-gap measures were taken toprovide legal counsel for indi-gents, speedy trials, and betterpolice techniques. Most of thesechanges occurred in the criminaland juvenile courts and havemet the demands and requirementsof appellate court decisions andpublic opinion. However, courtsencompass more than the crimi-nal and juvenile areas-manycases enter court systems undercivil, domestic relations, andprobate headings. These, too, de-serve swift and efficient judicial

disposition.In addition to deciding cases,

the modern court also is involvedin a variety of non-judicial ac-tivities, ranging from marriagecounselling to disbursing largesums of money. Most judges have

neither the time nor the expertiseto directly oversee these kinds ofactivities. One means of modern-izing the courts is the introductionof up-to-date management tech-niques. Chief Justice Warren E.Burger said as much in a speechbefore the American Bar Associa-tion in Dallas, Texas in 1969when he asked, "Why does A~er-ican justice take so long?" An-swerinq hi~ own question, the ChiefJustice said that the time lag isdue in large part to "a lack of up-to-date procedures and standardsfor administration or managementand especially the lack of trainedcourt administrators, ... " Hefurther stated that

ment principles and technology.The first step toward solution

of these problems is the realiza-tion by the jUdges of their ownneed for administrative expertise.Secondly, ludqes must give ad-ministrators the tools and authoritywith which to function, lest theadministrator be lust another fix-ture in an already fixture- andtradition-laden organization.

For example, the administratorshould have responsibility formanaging the court calendar, in-cluding coordination of witnesses,parties and attorneys, jury selec-tion and management, budgetpreparation and administration,~urchasing activities, administra_ticn of the court personnel system,space allocation, statistical col-lection and analysis, and researchand planning activities andshould be the courts' represents.tlve with other governmentalagencies. In short, the administra-tor shoUld be held accountablefor the proper management of allnOn-judicial aspects of the courtsystem.

Until two years ago, there wereno programs in the United Stateswhich provided training in the areaof court management Howeverin response to Chief justice Bu'r-ser's Speech in Dallas threejustice-oriented organiz~tjons'sponsored and established inJanuary, 1970, the Institute for

By the end of 1972, ap-proximately 125 persons hadcompleted the program andmost will be in court manage-ment positions throughout thecountry. Because the universitycommunity has recognized thistremendous need, there are cur-rently three universities' offeringmaster's programs in judicial ad-ministration, and others whichoffer specialized non-degree pro-grams in this field. This universitycognizance of a serious shortageof trained professionals willfurtherincrease the supply of adminis-trators for a demand sometimesestimated at 3000 in magnitude.

Perhaps the survival of thejustice system as we now know itwill depend upon the willingnessand ability of the courts to etti-ciently administer their own or-ganizations. The most immediategoal is to efficiently manage thecourts as they presently exist.Changes in the areas of courtorganization, structure, and juris-diction should follow. The firststeps have been taken; however,efficient administration of thecourts should be viewed as ameans to an end, not an end initselt.

A Fiddler on Hderdice?

ALUMNI concerned with the alltoo rapid loss of tradition hereat Western Maryland may

find some comfort in realizingthat the problem extends farbeyond the WMC campus (or eventhe city linel). In as unsuspecteda ~Iace as Anatevka, Russia, Tevya-10 "The Fiddler on the Roof"-ex~ressed many contemporarybeliefs and concerns when he said:

How do traditions get started? I don'tknow. But they're traditions. Becauseof ~ur traditions everyone knows who

~t~So~~~;h~rta~i~i~::Po~cr'~i~!~ ~o~fd

be as shakey as a fiddler on the roof!

Obviously something has hap-pened. Just as the sanctity andsecurity of Tevya's traditions wereVIOlat:d over the years, many ofWMC s most chert sed traditionshave been cast aside. Whilethumbing through Alohas of the1920's, , remembered how I usedto I.OOkat pictures of my parents~hlle they were children, unableo comprehend the immenseChanges. that came with aging.Along With the great majority ofmy co-students, I have grownaccustomed to thinking in terms?f the reality of the present, findingIt somewhat more difficult toenvision the future. Thinking in

February, 1973

terms of the past was simplyout of the question. But the more Iread about the WMC of yester-year, the more inquisitive I became.Yes, obviously something hashappened. But when? And how?

In searching for answers, Iwas fortunate to have had two menof infinite knowledge and expe-rience as resource aids. Dr. JohnD. Makosky, present dean of thefaculty and graduate of the classof 1925, has been associated withthe college in many capacitiesfor nearly fifty years, as has DeanSamuel 8. Schofield, currentcollege historian (Class of 1919).

For a moment now let us takea look back at Western Marylandin the teens and twenties. Fresh-men were quickly introduced tosomewhat rigorous hazing, thelikes of which included wearingbeanies, carrying matches forthe convenience of the upperclass-men, running to the store (for thesame reason, of course), and forthe more fractious "worms" or"rats," the joy of having their rearends paddled. Incidentally, be-ginning with the class of 1929,these punishments were metedout irrespective of sex. One canalmost imagine a frail young coed,away from her mother for the

first time, spending her preciousspare time in a warm tub seekingcomfort for her pains.

All of this served to unify thecampus by dividing it along classlines. Inter-class rivalries wereintense, but throughout it all therepervaded a basic loyalty to theinstitution. Sports events, dailychapel, Investiture, Christmas ser-mons-ali were well attended bythe students, thanks in great partto the regimentation of the studentbody.

Things first began to changein the twenties. Up to that paintthe college was controlled byDr. Thomas Hamilton Lewis (hewas called "Stone Face" by thestudents). As a fire and brimstonepre~cher and admlnlstretor, heInstilled a great sense of respectand fear, among the collegecommunity. According to Dr. Ma-kosky, "He had no rapport with~he students at all. The institution10 1920 when he left was as nearlike what it had been in the latter19th century as he could makeit." With the advent of a new pres-ident, Dr. Albert Norman Wardand the birth of the fraternity s~s-tem on the Hill, Western Marylandvery gradually evolved from theVictorian reign of President Lewta.

Pep ralliesare no longer in fashion-which took careof back-campus bonfires (below right) onthe night before Homecoming.

· To be certain, with the changeIn administration came a loss oftradition. Students viewed totalsegregation of the sexes as super-annuated, more of a bother than~nything else. In Makosky's words:To say that the class of 1925

supported this segment of traditionwould be utterly ridiculous." Oneby one, tradition after traditionbit the dust. No longer was conver-sation between the sexes forbid-~ren, cI.ass loyalties gave way toat.erMy loyalties, and the process

of liberating the women on cam-pus began.

Gradually the changes came.Classes in the thirties discarded~raditions from the twenties, think-Ing they were archaic only tosuffer that same fate at the handsof those who attended school inthe forties. One generation afteranother of "enlightened" studentsfr~el.e.d away the many layers of

dltlon, ultimately to arrive atwhat we have now.

like Tevya, many people areconcerned about the loss of thatbastion of security, tradition. Somebemoan the way the tide hastur~ed while others simply shaketheir heads in bewilderment.

February, 1973

Like it or not, WMC has changed.All we can do is seek to under-

stand why.In the mid-twenties there were

about four hundred people enrolledat Western Maryland. Such a smallenrollment afforded students theluxury of really getting to knoweach other. They worked together,played together, and prayed to-gether. Interdependence paved theroad to the establiehrnent ofcustoms and folkways, and as longas the size and philosophy ofthe school remained stagnant,these traditions were s·afe.

But such has not been the case.The massive increase in enroll-ment (nearly three times what itwas in the twenties) has had adefinite effect on the nature ofinterpersonal relationships.Whereas in the past everyone knewone another, in the present oneis lucky to recognize his fellowstudent, much less recall hisname. Such an atmosphere is notconducive to the transmission ofcultural values.

One must also consider whathas happened to the world atlarge, for there is considerabletruth to the claim that Western

Recent lines have been for peace marchesrather than daisy or lantern chains.

Maryland College is a microcosm.We have become a mechanizedsociety thinking more in terms ofvelocity than veracity. As we be-come more intellectual, our newfound sophistication tends tolessen the importance of the valuesof the past.

Everything is in a state ofchange. Old traditions make wayfor the new, thereby following anatural order. This has more orless always been the case. There'ssomething almost ironical in myknowing that in years to come Iwill probably echo Dean Makoskyin saying: "I am sure that thepresent college is a far bettereducational institution than theWestern Maryland of the 1920's.And yet I am filled with regretfO.r the p~ssj.ng .of the old collegeWith all Its Individuality and itsown set of personal traditions."

On the Hill

LONG-RANGE PLANAt a Baltimore press conference in Jan-

uary, the college announced that il has de-veloped a long-range plan which calls lorincreased enrollment, facilities, and ccerat-ins renee.

In recent action, the Board of Trustees,following recommendations of faculty, stu-dent, and trustee committees, accepted aplan which charts the college's growth fora decade. Long-range planning, PresidentRalph C. John pointed out when makingthe announcement, has not been automaticon U. S. college campuses. However, headded, in the past few years the concepthas been stressed.

Or. John quoted from a statement bythe U. S. Office of Education which saidthat education has gone through a period01 managing for growth and now mustmove into the stage of managing for effi-ciency. The president also referred to therecent Newman and Carnegie reports onelliciency in higher education The thrust01 ecucauo-, today, according to Dr. John.is for cost efliciency in the operation ofacademic institutions. Viability is the Im-portant word, he said.

Western Maryland College's new plan,the president painted out, is a responseto this thrust. tt also indicates a belief inthe continued growth of the economy andis based on studies by the Maryland Coun-cil on Higher Education, the census bu-reau, and economic reports from the presi-dent's Council of Economic Advisors. Eco-nomic aS3umptions are the underlying basefor the proposed program.

With acceptance of this plan, WesternMaryland College commits tteett to a grad-ual increase in the undergraduate studentbony to 1,250. CUrrent enrollment is justover 1,100. It is anticipated that the newenrollment will be achieved by 1975-76.

Construction is the first phase of theptan so that the increase in students canbe accommodated. The first priority is forreSidence facilities. The college is movingimmediately in that direction and federalfunds are being requested, Dr. John said.A capital fund drive is being studied bythe College's Board of Trustees in orderto finance the other capital objectives: fa-cilities for phYSical education, the perform-ingarts,andastudentcenter.

Wilbur D. Preston, Jr .. chairman of West-ern Maryland's Board of Trustees, statedduring the conference that the trustees be-lieve there is room in the United Statesfor a selected number of quality colleges.This number, he said, will go down, but, asin the case of women's colleges, the reallygood ones will survive. The Board chair-man said that Western Maryland Collegeis noted for its excellent facutty and amore. than adequate physical plant. Thelocation of the college, according to theSpokesman, adds to lis academic attrac-tiveness.

He pointed out that Western Maryland

page Iwelve

has no evidence of decreased enrollment.The number of applications, Mr. Prestontold media representatives, continues togrow and the quality o~ the applicants ~sbetter. He attributed this to the collegesquality of education and mentioned thatquality of applications and number 01 ap-plicants is not holding up at a number ofindependent colleges. Mr. P.reston s~jd th~tWestern Maryland is practically unique Inthis area for more than its steady enroll-ment. The college also has an extremelylow debt. He revealed that gif~s to the col-lege this school year have Increased Itsendowment by almost a million dollarsand added that he anticipates continuedincrease.

The chairman concluded with the com-ment that he expects success with thelong-range plan. The caliber of all the peo-ple involved is such, Mr. Preston stated,thai an intensification of the college's de-velopment program will allow WesternMaryland to achieve goals outlined in thepian.

BEQUEST, GRANTSThe college has received a bequest of

more than $84,000 from the estate of Mrs.Madeline A. Williams of Federalsburg.Mrs, Williams left money from her est~teto the college to be used as a memortatfor her late husband, Jacob O. Williams.Exact amount in the bequest was $84,-510.47. The money from the Carolinecounty couple has been placed in the col-lege's endowment fund. It eventually willbe used to establish a memorial for Mr.Williams.

The Consul Board and Women's Com-mittee, Baltimore Chapter, American Insti-tute of Banking, presented $1,050 to de~1children at Christmastime. The money ISbeing handled by Western Maryland andthe Maryland School for the Deaf.

Western Maryland College received agrant of $800 from the Sears-Roeb~ckFoundation in November. Grants totaling$17,000 were distributed to 16 private col-leges and universities in Maryland. Theunrestricted funds may be used as thecolleges and universities deem necessary.

ALUMNI PARTICIPATE IN ATHLETICSby Gerald F. Clark, Jr

During anyone year many alumni returnto campus lor myriad reasons. Very oftenit is to be present at athletic events, classreunions, Homecoming or Alumni Day ac-tivities. Recently three groups of alumnicame back to the Hill to actively partici-pate in athletic contests, a rather uniquereason as reasons go. The first of thesethree events was the annual alumni-varsitybasketball scrimmage. Pitted againstCoach Alex coer's ('63) varsity hoopsters,the alums did their best to withstand avicious shooting display but reu to defeat.Twelve alumni suited up for the scrim-mage: Ron Athey, 72, Mike Baker, '69,Dick Clower, '50, Jeff Davis, '70, Bill Dud-ley, '69, Greg Getty, '69, Jim Hobart, '71,Tony Magnolia, '65, Alex Ober, '63, JerryPhipps, '51, Jim (Country) Shaw, '65, andJoe Smothers, '69. Afterwards a socialgathering was held at the oeere.

December 2 saw the return of ninealumni to Gill Gym to take part in the an-nual alumni wrestling match. Coached byDon zaucne, '57, Bob Basye, '66, Sam

Madeleine also much enjoyed hearingOr. John, naw president. "who gave akeen, willy, sound address." She feelsthat he is very friendly and approachable.

My activities have been quite limitedsince my last newsletter. Especially enjoy-able in September was my going to SI.Michaels with the Frederick Travel Clubduring SI. Michaels' Days. My teachingcareer began in SI. Michaels just exactly50 years prior to this trip~ln September,1922. My friend who went with me dubbedit "Olivia's sentirnentaljoumey." Of course,I had visited SI. Michaels numerous times,attending the Miles River Yacht Club re-gatta every summer and visiting friends atother times, also. This "50 years after-

wards" trip Included visits to many inter-esting old homes and seeing my formerstudents and other acquaintances. A tripup the Miles River aboard the "Pioneer"was especially enjoyable. Having a deli-cious seafood dinner at Tidewater Inn inEaston brought a delightful close to apleasant day.

So long for now. Let me hear about youso that this '22 news will be complete.

The news from many classmates is of re-tirement and travel. We have joined theranks of the retired and find the more re-laxed way of living most pleasant. One ofthe advantages is the time for travel.

June 2, 1973. Get up right now and clr-ere that date on your calendar. (It's al.ready circled on mine. II's my nephew's,Steve, birthday.) But for us '58ers, amongothers, it has added significance: it is Re-union Day. Barbara Hunt Ketay has alreadywritten to say she plans to come fromCalifornia to attend, so no one should beable to use distance as an excuse afterthat. I hope everyone will make a greateffort to be there. Dick and I attended thetenth reunion and it was amazing to mehow I could just pick up conversationswith friends as though no time had passed.Only a comma between. I think our classhad a special closeness, don't you? Any-way. plan to come. Silver-haired John, ourpresident, will send out a couple of letterscloser 10 the date.

Speaking of closeness and friendliness,I know that most of you remember JoanBackhaus Shilling. She was a member ofour class for two years and served as in-firmary nurse. Joan died of a stroke onOctober 9. ~972. She leaves husband, Joe,'60, and SIX children, t remember Joanvery well. She was a fine person. alwayscheerful, always sunny. My deepest sym-pathy goes to Joe and their family.

now, the Palmers should be in their newhouse, but then Natalie had just movedher family into an-in-between house. Theirformer house sold too fast (there's sucha thing?) and they had to move beforethe new house was ready to be movedinto. Dick, conveniently, was in Europe, soNatalie had all the lun things to do her-sell. At the time of Natalie's post card,Dick had just flown to Austria. Now there'sa job to have. When I saw the Palmersthis summer, Dick tried to convince mehis job wasn't glamorous_"1 just see alot 01 airports and motel rooms." I remainunconvinced, needless to say.

(Some of you must getawfully sick of hearing from me.) Anyway,Jean took the opportunity to give us somenews 01 herself. She has been at her pres-ent job with "an economic consultingfirm" (no free pfugs from Jean) for 10112

years and is a project director. She gets totravel around the country, but right now isdoing some studies for th.e Maryland D~-partment of Slate Planning, so she ISMaryland-bound for aWhile. Jean says sheis still an avid Colts fan and wonders what

which mosttheologians,psychologists,psy-chiatrists, and teachers would not deem asacceptable. Being a teacher and partici-pant in Jewish-Christian dialogue, as wellas a pastor, I am quite disturbed by theimport of the article.I have written a letter to Or. Zepp in

which I have outlined my basic objectionsand am willing to elucidate them or en-gage in dialoguewith anyonewho may at-tempt to present views contrary to thosewhich I express. I am not writing out ofanger or rancor, but rather with the ideaof presentinga valid case for an opposingviewpoint. This year is quite sensitive toour friends in the Jewish community, asthe Jesus Movement,the Jews for Jesus,and related bodies haveengaged in inordi-nate evangelizing among Jewish collegestudents and other disenchanted, emotion-ally disturbed membersof the Jewish com-munity. (My implication is that some stu-dents, an extremely small minority, butneverthelessa real one, have been impli-cated in this Movement.)

I would hope that in the future one oftwo procedures will be followed when is-sues of this type are to be discussed inthe pages of The HILL: either these issueswill be presentedin the form of a dialoguebetweentwo personsor that the issueswillbe such that there is no possibility of of-fending sensibilities of any membersof thealumni. If a future article were to be writ-ten on the struggle of the Amish for reli-gious freedom, a question that has beenbrought 10 the fore this week again by adecision in Pennsylvania, or general pat-terns in culture as revealed by valid re-search, etc., there would be little or noquestion.Again, I stress that I hope to be con-

structive in this matter and that future arti-cles in this area will be aware of the feel-ings of a vilal segment of our alumni andthe populationof our nation.With all best wishes,I am,

Sincerely,David K. Taylor, '64Florence, New Jersey

Dr. Zepp's Response:

I endorse David's concerns, My intentionin Writing Ihe article was simply, in an em-pirical way, to describe the Jesus Move-ment and to suggest briefly some positiveand negative criticisms. Among the latterwere mentioned the possibility of anti-semitism and the facilify of the movementto attract addictive and authoritative typesof personalities. A more lengthy articleWould have, undoubtedly, covered in detailsome of David's complaints. In addition tothe Jesus Movement, Key-73's evangelis-tic eftort to "bring Christ to the continent"justifiably creates anxiety in the JewishCOmmunity. Salvation is not "to" the Jews,but as the prophets and Jesus said, "it is'from' the Jews."

Watching the Walls Come Down

ROBERT FROST Spoke for somany of us when he declaredthat something there is

which doesn't like a wall.l'he Western Maryland College

I knew as a child was almostas much of a walled communityas that of a medieval city-state.The first wau that I remember isthat of a wooden fence whichdivided the Seminary campus onwhich [ lived from that of thecollege. It served not so much tokeep one 'institution away fromthe other as to keep one sex awayfrom the other. "The Seminites"Were all men and the dorm imme-diately on the other side wasOccupied by all women. How wellJ recall Saturday mornings whenI would manage to climb to thecross piece on the fence 10 lookat the windows on the otherside. On sunny mornings theywould all be filled with shampooedheads hanging out to dry. Howc?me? Oh, Saturday was "parlor"nrght. A chink in the wall wouldOpenfor one magic hour. One mustlook one's best hairwise andotherwise for that time. First thechink 'Openedonly once a monththen twice, and by the time I 'reached College, it was once aweek.

Through the years I've watchedwith interest the sex barriersbreaking down-in classroom firstthen on oampus, and at last in 'dorm-until now Weseem to havegone almost into the unisexera. While some of my generationlook with stern disapproval onthis .newtrend, I confess to beingfaSCinatedby the rapid seriesof surprises. One of these hasespeci'ally struck me because itrelates to the reaction of studentswho come to me for costumes.They love seeing themselves at-tired in Victorian outfits. Dozensof times the past few months I'veheard, "Oh, I wish we Woreclothes like this now!" An anklepage IOUf

length skirt on a motor bike?Ttte second wall I encountered

when I entered college in 1907.By that time the board fence hadcome down but there was an-other barrier which separated thedormitory students from the townstudents. We had a separate studyroom for the latter. In the caseof the girls, it was a little room onthe main floor of Smith Hall.Because I lived not in the townbut on the adjoining campus, Isaw no reason why I should beconfined to that little room. Iwent to the second floor to studywith Ava from the Eastern Shoreonly to be intercepted by theappearance of that preceptresswhom we dubbed "MinnieMinerva."

"Don't think that because yourfather is president of the Semi-nary you're to be allowed specialprivileges. Go back to the studyhall where you belong."

While there wasn't a physicalbarrier between college and townin my days on the Hill, therewas a psychological one. Westudents brought almost no busi-ness to the town aside fromdining room food purchases. Wewere sUpposed to have boughtall our clothes before we came.The main contact of the girlswith the town was on Friday after-noons When two by two theymarched under chaperon to Shaw'sdrug store for chocolate sodas.

Oh, College Hill threw AlumniHall doors wide open to the townwhen we gave plays, concerts, andcommencement events lastingfrom Friday night to Wednesdaymorning. Still those were justchinks in the town-gown wall. Andoccasionally there were townevents in the Armory and the oldOpera House which would bepatronized by some of the facultyand perhaps the men students.But the main line of communicationstarted to Open as more and

Mother Royer's: In Memoriamby Samuel B. Schofield, '19

A NEWS account of December4, 1972, tells of the deathof Margaret Royer Hawn on

December 3.Western Maryland men over

a long period of years will remem-ber Mother Royer's, the littlestore and eating place that allpatronized quite frequently tosupplement the college diningroom offerings. Mrs. Emma Royer,a widow, with her three children,Nellie, David, and Margaret,had moved into the corner propertyat Main and Union streets afterthe death of her husband, DavidRoyer. She opened a little grocerystore and offered food service--coffee cake, caramel sandwiches,egg sandwiches, milk, chocolatepie, banana pie, etc.-primarily tothe men students of WMC.(Womenstudents, when she openedthe store, were not allo-wed offcampus except in large groupswith chaperons and so couldnot patronize lt.)

Mother Royer was a friend toall and everyone loved and re-spected her. She could not standtobacco smoke, said it gave hera headache, and enycne smokingin her establishment was soontold to stop and did so withoutoffense.•Students over the years watched

the children grow. Nellie grad-uated from Western Marylandin 1917and later became the wifeof Thomas C. Mulligan, '19, aMethodist minister, now deceased.David, now retired, served inWorld War I and later became anautomobile mechanic, his em-ployment at retirement being withthe W. H. DavisCo., Buick dealer,in Westminster. Margaret, fol-lowing high school graduation,stayed with her mother andhelped with the business.She later became the wife

of Earl W. Hawn and they ran thebusiness, giving it the name ofMargaret and Earl's, and it waspatronized by both men andwomen students. Eventually theyclosed the business and openedan antique shop at the samelocation. Earl Hawn died in No-vember, 1970.

Perhaps the best tribute toMother Royer was written byPhilip Myers, '16, and publishedin the 1916Aloha. It is entitled"How We Beat Yale and Harvard"and tells how Yale and Harvardalumni praise their college. It con-cludes as follows:

The homely cow will love theplace

Where she receives her fodder.

From Mother Royer's to the Pizza Hut:A Brief Chronicle of College Hangouts, 1905-1972

No TOWN-GOWN affection iswarmer than that betweenbuyer and seller, especially

when the seller serves up somehalfway-decent and mostly-cheapfood and drink, and when thebuyer is perpetually 'hungry, usu-ally thirsty, and always broke.A bit of atmosphere also helps,but 'it's optional.

Yale has its fabled tables downat Maury's, Penn has its murkySmokey Joe's, and-not to beoutdone by a few sprigs of ivy-WMC has its legendary Margaretand Earl's, it's hallowed MotherHimler's, and its ever-present Pit.

Moth~r Royer's is certaintythe grandmother of all the collegehangouts. (See Dean Schofield'sadjacent tribute.) She openedthe doors of 'her Httte shop in thefirst decade of the century, and,at the ideal location on the cornerof Union and Main, WesternMaryland men, at least, found ahome. Her perfectly~tried eggand crunchy grilled cheese sand-wiches served at back roomtables and booths would be offi-cially unavailable to WesternMaryland coeds until well into theRoaring Twenties.

Denied the ample and gjngham~aproned Mother Royer, theWomenhad to rely on the reliableGeorge Grumbine's horse andwagon, chock~full of goodies fromhis little store down at the forksof Pennsylvania and Main. Hisregular rounds across CollegeAvenue were the highlight ofmany a coed evening in the teens.

Of course, if they could assem-ble a large enough group andfind a few willing chaperons withthe proper credentials, the womencould file down Main street fora virtual soda fountain orgy: alemon phosphate at Shaw's atthe corner of Main and John, thenon across the tracks and up

As all the historians say, withthe Jazz Age the barriers wentdown-or almost. Mother Royer'swas still thriving. She introduceda five cent speclatty guaranteedto keep the male trade: a six-by-two-inch sandwich of rich raisin-studded coffee cake cementedtogether with thick chocolate fudge."AUnt Emmie," as a few customerscalled her, certainly knew herclientele, but competition wasgrowing. Down at Ray Shipley's,at the Forks, the men could swilldown tangy cider ... and put iton the book. They could evenwalk a block or two out New Wind-sor road to Ford's Inn and havea surreptitious mug of near beer,cash only.

But the twenties brought wom-en's liberation to the Hill andwith it Mother Himfer's. The sro-eery store at the corner of Mainand West End alley (now a laun-dromat) was already a localinstitution, but it soon became a"front" for a warm, home-Hka din-ing room where Western Marylandflappers could sip homemadesoups and nibble five cent hotdogs-and even puff cigarettes-in a refined and cosy atmosphere.If you COUldn't get off campus,Mr. Himler would kindly deliverat regular intervals.

Mother Himfer's was an espe-cially favorite haunt of two mid-twenties cliques: the mystertousR.O.D.B.'s and the occult W.W.'s.Her legendary hospitality includednot only her renowned dimequarter-portions of pie, but also

her willingness to convert herhome into a boarding house onbig dance weekends. An~ thv~;ableone spring there was the mecrisis: rumor has it that Moth~~rceHimler's 'arm was twisted to enthe college smoking regul.a~o~fyand a few dissidents.re~o ~oco~went elsewhere for their hot clate and cigarette.

the Great Depression, and-atleast in nearby Baltimore county-the end of Prohibition. Mother~oyer's was transformed into themimitable and much-loved Mar-garet and Earl's, and severalnew generations moved into theCorner of Main and Union. Mar-garet's answer to the Depressionwas sagacious: ten cent ham-burgers couldn't miss, and creditcouldn't hurt. In the spirit ofthe New Deal you could eat nowand pay later, even if later meant-as it did in a few cases-aftergraduation.

Margaret's thick ten cent shakes,her exquisite cheese-and-pickleso.na roll, her hearty soups, hersincere affection and concern forso many Western Marylanders-all combined to make the cornerhostelry a model of town-gownwarmth and friendship. It alsoturned her little store into a ratherpleasant madhouse almost everyevening between 8 and 10 p.m.

But a new hangout had appeared The sito of Him/or's »cw is home to soap sudsand bleach instead of sodas and hoton the scene in the late twenties. chocolate.

It was Bonsack's. The brothers,Ralph and Paul, with their sodas,sandwiches, and especiallydancing, hosted several genera-tions of students in their secondfloor establishment next to theold Star Theatre. It was here theelite would meet-which meantthe sports crowd. Surrounded bypictures of winning or mostlywinning teams, the Bonsack'spurveyed generous strawberry

sodas, thick sandwiches, and veryknowledgeable chit-chat abouteverything from the last WesternMaryland-Maryland clash to thebatting averages of the BlueRidge ntne. The nickelodeon vi-brated, and the food kept flyingup the dumbwaiter from thesmall downstairs fountain.

The adventurous ones you can,of course, never keep in town.There was always that one day-hop with a Model T. They wouldpool the gang for gas, and shun-ning the ice cream parJors~andeven Bonsack's-whiz down theBaltimore pike to that placenear Reisterstown ("starts with anS") for a bit of liquid refreshment.

This was also the great era ofAmerica's addiction to the silverscreen, and Westminster pro-vided generous dollops of Holly-wood. There was the OperaHouse, with occasional live showsas well; the Star, later re-namedthe State; Harry Rosenstock'sRamona (now Murphy's); weekendfilms at the Armory; and finallythe newer and modern Carrol/.

But if you had seen all themovies, you weren't a Bonsacksport, and you didn't particularlylike gin, you could always takea pleasant, or even strategic, walkover and down the back campusand up Taneytown road to EdStarner's Hillside Inn for a most

But there wasnothing hollow about the Starner'swarmth and good will. Many astudent had his initials penciledon Ed's oalendar on the datehis allowance would 'hopefullyarrive from home.

Mother Himler's had a hardtime weathering the thirties asMargaret and Earl's began toattract an ever larger coed clien-tele. And the decade spawnedother competitors for the campusrecreational dollar. HowardKoontz's Ko-ed Kfub, next doorto the original Bonsack's in whatis now both Harry's LUnch andLefteris's, made e gallant effort tocapture the college crowd witha double-barreled attack: GeorgeHutting's "ice cream and a new[uka box.

Another impressive competitoron the downtown scene was theseries of popular shaps operatedby the 'Griffin family. First focatedat two spots 'on the south sideof Main (Benny's and Eckard'sWaf/paper), Griffin's came intoits own at 90 West Main -acrossfrom the Carroll Theater. Thevery amiable Bill, Jane, and littleBill grilled what is reputed tohave been the best toasted cheesesandWich an the Western Shore.

From Alf Landan's dayan,however, the Grille in Old Maingradually began to wean moreand more students away from thetown establishments. In fact,by the late forties and early fif-ties, it and the adjacent RecRoom had done in most of thelegendary collegiate soda andsandWich shops in town. EvenMargaret and Earl's eventuallyfell before the canvenience andpapularity of Charley Foutz'sHill h'angout.

Students in the forties andfifties didn't, of course, abandonWestminster entirely as a sourceof rest and relaxation. Therewas, for example, the Eisenhowerera papularity 'Ofthe Gardens,Bowers' rather shabby but atmo-page eight

Ttten there was dancing toTony Geiman's band at JohnBeard's. You went back the pas-sageway to the DowntownTavern and up the stairs to theloft, then called the Center, thatwould rock so often during somany fraternity parties in the latefifties and early sixties. A fewbrave souls would also rub elbowswith the "tawnies" at the dawn-stairs Hole in the Wal/beneaththe Carner of Railroad avenue.

Big and Little Frack's developedas the most convenient 'andhospitable location for the yearlycycle of private and not-so-private college fetes, but the fiftiesalso saw many attempts-mastlyshort-lived-by town enterpreneursto attract students away fromthe Grille.

The only real competition duringthe sixties was the Coffee Houseat 158 Pennsylvania avenue.Produced by the Episcopal Churchand masterfully directed by DavePotst, who lived upstairs, thissanctuary for folk singing, poetryreading, and exotic snacks andbeverages became an authenticstudent-faculty hangout for afew happy years. The foreigndinners sponsored there oftenattracted a sizeable chunk ofthe campus community.

When affluent parents arepaying the tab, Ange/o's at 85 WestMain and Cockey's Tavern 'inthe old Hoffman House are thecurrent favorites, although Benny'sholds 'its own.

In short, the current scene israther diffuse and unsettled. Asidefrom the Pit, there is cert-ainlyno college hangout to match thebonhomie of a Margaret andEarl's, a Mother Him/er's, or aBonsack's. But there are a fewrumors of things to come. Gossiphas it that Cockey's Tavern mightopen a rathskeller in the brick-arched cellar of that town land-mark, and, closer to home, thereis more than a rumor to indicatethat a new student center oncampus will include a genuinehangout that might even matchthe popularity of the Grille in itsheyday of the fifties.

College Community Ties Close

IN THE area of finances oneperhaps sees best the veryclose relationship between

Western Maryland College andWestminster~Carroll county.

Without the county, of course,Western Maryland wouldn't havehappened-or survived afterbirth. Today the dependence isnot quite so dramatic but it isstill there. And the dependenceis mutual. The college is oneof the county's larger employersand its payroll and the spendingof students make a difference inthe local economy.

Trustee F. Kale Mathias, whohas lived all of 'his life in CarrollCounty, feels that the ties betweenthe community and the collegeon the hill are very strong. He sayshe has never had anyone refuseto serve on a committee or attenda meeting about the college.These people, he states, "will doanything on behalf of the college.They -areeager to serve." Thetrustee also says that many whohave contributed time and moneyeither never attended any collegeor went to another one for theirundergraduate Work. They areproud of the college in their Com-munity, he believes.

Mr. Mathias says his associationwith the college began duringthe administration of President A.N. Ward. T'he county was involvedfrom the beginning.

As most alumni know, FayetteBuell, who operated an academyin Westminster, started thecollege. He gathered local menaround him as an advisory board.John Smith was their chairman.Mr. Smith and Mr. lsaeo Baile,another ccuntian, had loanedhim $10,000 and Dr. J. T. Wardhimself advanced funds for theproject.

Construction Waswell underwayan the COllege building(eventually known as Old Main),with the opening in Sight, whenmoney ran out. Workmen tookliens on the building. The advisoryboard suggested that Mr. BUell.cage ten

raise the needed money by sellingscholarships and by collectingdonations.

Eventually 30 men, most fromthe area, subscribed to lift theliens and agreed not to press thecoJlege for their money for acertain period of time. Dr. Wardbecame an agent of the college(and of the Maryland AnnualConference) to raise money tocover these initial constructlondebts. The college was perpetuallyin similar difficulties during itsearly years and the communitywas called on for help.

Mr. Malhi'as says that PresidentA. N. Ward belonged to localservice clubs and depended on thevarious members to support thecollege. Dr. Ward asked thetrustee's father to furnish a roomfor Blanche Ward Hall whichwas being built and he is sure thatmany other local men (the elderMathias was mayor of Westminsterfor many years) were similarlyapproached.

Dr. Ward was not unusual inhis association with the local clubs,according to Mr. Mathias. All ofthe Western Maryland presidentshave been so involved. The KiwanisClub used to hold its Maryl-andDay meeting in the college dininghall. It was the club's outstandingprogram of the year, with aprominent speaker and 300-400.people in attendance. For the cityof Westminster's bicentennialcelebration, the college dining hallonce again overflowed withCarroll countians.

The College inconvenienceditself, according to Mr. Mathias,by feeding students at a differenttime so that these groups coulduse the facility. He feels suchaccommodations are part of a"very tight pattern of cooperation"between the county and thecollege. In fact, Mr. Mathias can-not recall that there has everbeen a gap in the relationship.

FERN ROCKby Philip E. Uhrig

Where columbine once grew at the base01 a rock face and fern still appears in wetseasons was Fern Rock quarry and WesternMaryland students of an earlier era trekkedthere for outings. Victorian vernacular didnot include the phrase "hang-out," butsurely Fern Rock is an endearing title fora favorite meeting place.

Fern Rock today is a sheer cliff remnant01 the farm quarry which was on the JohnDilfenbaugh place, later owned by WilliamHenry Geiman who was father of severalWestern Maryland students. Two are living:Madeleine and Eugenia.

At present the old quarry belongs to Mr.and Mrs. James R. Mann, both graduatesof WMC. The stone in their house wasquarried there. In teet, it was William Gei-man who gave the rack for the foundationof HarriSon House, then the Reilsniderproperty. I am told that foundations of someof the earlier college buildings came fromthere also.

Generations of Western Maryland stu-dents and some seminarians made tripsto Fern ROCk. Botanical classes studiedthe flora there.

Those of YOU who poke around old quar-ries (or quarry holes as some refer tothem), know the danger one can encounterwhere footing is tricky, where rock wallsare steep, and where the cold waterydepths claim Victims.

The quarry at Fern Rock, in contrast,was afun place, relatively dry-a place toexplore, to take outings, to carve initials.And, there memories Cling. The growth ofthe ferns is interrupted periodically withdrought but always reappears with season-ally damp Weather.

Through the diligent efforts of 550 classchairmen and agents, the Fund is off to atremendous start. As of this writing (March1,1973). slightly over seventy-five thousanddollars in gifts and pledges has been re-ceived. Last year at this time just a littleless than fifty-four thousand had beengiven by alumni. Also, the total of donorsis running ahead of last year's rate. If youhave not made your gift, please do so to-day. Be a part of the greatest AnnualAlumni Fund in the history of WMC.

I am sure all of you join me in deploringthe loss of yet another member. This time:Llda A~ams Gordon, who died August 30,1972. tree's husband died in 1955. By thislime Llda had returned to teaching but re-tired in 1963. She had been in very poorhealth during recent years. We extend oursympathy to her son, Carroll Adams Gor-don.

Now comes a happy change of mood.Wedding bells-no less. Gene HinmanFrazer Holmes was married to SudlerCockey in a quiet ceremony at the Episco-pal Church in Elkton on Saturday, Novem-ber 11. A reception at the home of herdaughter followed. They will live at Sudler'shome, which is at Love Point, Stevensville.They have known each other since child-hood. While Gene was at Western Mary-land, Sudler was at SI. John's. I am surethey will be very happy together.

All of which Is part of a very pleasantsurprise I had on November 3. "Tommy"Merrick called from Elkton asking to "bor-row me for Monday night." Having planneda dinner party honoring Gene and Sudler,it occurred to her to invite me. I went andhad a wonderful time. Gene's lovely daugh-ter, Ann, was there with her very person-able lawyer husband. You looked at themaghast when you realized they had onedaughter at Clemson, one of the twins atthe University of Utah, and the other twinat Medical School In Virginia. Also attend-Ing was one of Sudler's three sons and hisvery attractive wife.

A SPECIAL REPORT

Can We Savethe Individualityof Our Colleges?Or will powerful pressures,

Onand off the campuses,

homogenize higher education?

<;OPYJ.!CHT 1973 ~T EUITOI.IAL I'Il0JIlCTS Foa E!>UCATION, INC.

AMERICANS have long prided themselves on theindividuality of their colleges and universities.The special ambiance of each campus. The

combination of people and purpose. Spirit. The soundsand smells that make it different from all others.

And more:. The autonomy of each institution that enables it

to choose freely its own goals-and the programs to at-tain them .

. The peculiarly American genius for promotingthe existence, side by side, of public and private col-leges and universities .

. . . A "system" of higher education, in the bestsense of the word: a group of interacting, interrelated,interdependent elements, existing in a more-or-less har-monious relationship. But intensely individual, nonethe-less. Certainly not "systematized," if the word implies alockstep, or central control, or dull uniformity.

The result is one of society's major miracles: morethan 2,600 colleges and universities, each one differentfrom all the rest. Different, yet committed to the com-

man idea that through diversity and individuality theneeds of the culture will be met.

BUT NOW we are encountering forces that threatenthe survival of all that. For the first time in acentury, serious questions must be raised about

the ability of our colleges to maintain their individualdistinctiveness_and of the system to maintain itsdiversity.

The historic immensity of what is happening is onlybeginning to be clear. After an era of unprecedentedconfidence and expansion throughout higher education,there is now a widespread questioning of higher educa-tion's place in our culture, and of its claim on our re-sources. And growth-which for decades has been thehallmark of our colleges and universities-is decelerar,ing.

With these developments have come crises of sizeand money and quality affecting the great diversity ofour system of higher education_and the individualityof each college and university within it.

Individualityand the ChangingStudent Population

FOR the past 100 years, American higher educationhas been growing at an accelerating rate. Enroll-ments doubled every 15 years until World War

II; since then, they have doubled every decade.That is not likely ever to happen again.The Carnegie Commission on Higher Education pre-

dicts that enrollments will increase only by one-half be-tween 1970 and 1980, and not at all between 1980 and[990. In the last decade of the century, they will goup by only a third.

EnrOllments in private institutions actually will drop,the federal government estimates, between 1977 and1980.

By the end of this decade, say statisticians in theU.S. Office of Education, private education's share ofall college enrollments will fall from 22.3 per cent in1972-73 10 17.5 per cent in 1980-81.These reductions in growth hold profound implica-

tions for all colleges and Universities. Notes Princeton'sPresident William G. Bowen:

"This battle for survival [private vs. public collegesand univerSities) has very serious implications forAmerican higher education in general, which draws

much of its strength from pluralism; that is, from ~epresence of many strong private and many strong pu -lie institutions working in different ways together. hi her"If this diversity were to be eroded, Amencan g

education would suffer significantly."

citizens who have not been able to afford a collegeeducation in the past. They permit vast numbers ofpersons to earn academic degrees in less time withmore options.

Yet many observers are concerned.Supermarkets, they say, are nOI very friendly places.

While you may meet your material needs there, yourspiritual needs may be unfulfilled.

Without precautions, says Stephen K. Bailey of Syra-cuse University, such programs "can lead to a paradeof academic horrors: cram courses organized by fast-buck proprietary schools, a deadly standardization ofsubject-matter, tutoring to the test."

State legislatures, others warn, could use the devel~p·ment of the new programs as an excuse for reducmgsupport for the traditional colleges and universities.

Pehaps most serious of all, however, are fears thatsuch programs might change the whole definition of ed-ucation in our society. An individual experience, lead-ing to the development of "whole men and wom~n"or "good citizens," might become a purely utilitanan

process of providing the credentials a person needs toearn a living.

One writer describes the new trends this way:"Wc don't offer extracurricular activities; we elimi-

nate most of the theory courses; we give practical ~p-plications; and we get the students through in one-thirdthe time. We get them through fast."

Another observer deplores the prospect:"This is the attitude of a new breed of educators, the

big-business organizers, who are moving into educati~nand turning out graduates on an assembly-line baSIS.Apparently they are being paid by the head count."

THERE are ways to broaden our commilme.nt toeducating as many people as possible, wlth~lltsacrificing the best qualities of higher educ~tlo.n

that we have known in the past. They lie in more indi-viduality for our colleges and universities. not less; morediversity in our system of higher education, no! less. But,as we shall see, other forces-in addition to those ~c-companying the new era of no-growth-may be puttmgthose qualities in serious jeopardy.

Individualityand the Trend TowardCentral Control

HIGH~R EDUCATION'Slong peri,od of post:,ar growthcoincided with a long period of national afflu-ence. As the economy boomed, tax dollars were

more numerous than ever before in history-and, nearlyeverywhere, public colleges and universities received atop-priority share of them.

Most states still place higher education well up ontheir priority lists. But urgent new needs have devel-oped in other areas---e.g., health care, aid for the dis-advantaged-and the competition for tax dollars hasgrown.

The result: Public colleges and universities havebeen subjected 10 unprecedented demands for"efficiency"-some justified, others panicky and unwise.And to achieve that efficiency, many states aTC dramati-cally reorganizing their structures of public higher edu-cation.

Once-autonomous institutions, each seeking its owngoals, are finding themselves incorporated in larger andlarger "systems" of public colleges and universities,often statewide ill scope. Decision-making is central-ized. Duplicate functions arc eliminated.

From an efficiency standpoint, the trend makessense. "It seems to us," argue Paul L. Dressel and Wil-liam H. Faricy of Michigan State University, "thathigher education must be regarded as a national re-Source, that the roles of institutions must be deter-mined by social need, and that resources must beallocated according to a plan and their actual useaccounted for."

They add:"In moving in this direction, we are permitting the

public and politicians to make decisions about the char-acter of institutions-and their decisions may not al-ways accord with the views of those involved withhigher education."

In 19.59, fewer than half the stat~s had formal, le~almechanisms for statewide coordination ot higher educa-tion. Now 47 states have such mechanisms. "Besidesthis dramatic increase in numbers," writes one ob-server, "statewide coordinating boards have increasedin power in their areas of influence and in coercive po-tential."

Tbe trend away from campus autonomy and towardcentral planning is likely to encompass many privateInstitutions as well, when-as is happening in manystates-tbey receive increasing support from publicfunds.

"Why," asks one observer, "should the non-public in-stitutions receive tax dollars and not be subjected to thesame planning and operating constraints and criteriafor accountability as the public institutions? Wbile theinitial small, indirect aids may call for a modicum ofstate control, once tbe amounts become substantial, tbeinstitution can be treated in no other way than as anintegral cog in the coordinated state system."

It may even be that some national system of highereducation will emerge from the upheavals now occur-ring. Clark Kerr, chairman of the Carnegie Commis-sion, says that education is becoming a "quasi-publicutility"-cspecially since it, like electric power andother utilities, has become essential in the lives of peo-ple. Just as utilities require regulatory agencies to pro-tect the public interest, say some observers, so the pros-pect of government regulation of higher educationcannot be ruled out.

W H~T h.appens to the colleges' individuality anddiversity, in the wake of such developments?

The president of one public institution inOhio, Miami University, says that as the state systemhas developed, "we have witnessed a lockstep pro-gression, statewide, into a common calendar, into a

common subsidy formula, into a virtually common feepattern." He warns:"If diversity is coming out of the public system and

is replaced with a pale, insipid sameness, and if there isa simultaneous withering of the private sector, one canquestion what the future holds for the very fiber of oursystem of higher education."

The movement toward more centralized authority,however, seems inexorable. It is clear that the publicand its elected representatives are no longer willing tolet the colleges and universities, alone, decide what iseducationally best for the society. "Education," says anobserver, "is too important, and too expensive, to beleft entirely to the educators."

How, then, can colleges and universities learn to livein the larger systems, while preserving their diversityand individuality? They must be ingenious enough todevelop mechanisms to preserve flexibility within ahighly structured whole-and that poses one of themajor challenges for higher education and its support-ers in the years to come.

Individualityand the Unionizationof Faculties

UNTIL RECENTLY, the prospect of faculty members'joining unions and engaging in collective bar-gaining seemed foreign to both the spirit an~ the

reality of life on most campuses. Colleges and uruver-sities were serene havens far removed from the material-ism and economic competition of the industrial world,and faculty members were thought of (and regardedthemselves) not as "employees" but as individual pro-

fessionals.Although thousands of faculty members and college

administrators still recoil from the notion of facultiesorganizing in COllective-bargaining units, unionization-and all that goes with it-has made major gains onthe campuses in the past five years. Most observers ex-pect the trend to quicken rather than to slow down.

Already, the faculties at nearly 300 colleges and uni-versities have won bargaining rights. More than half ofthe institutions are two-year colleges, but unionism isalso gaining significant footholds in many four-yearinstitutions, as well. Faculties at the State Univer-sity of New York and the City University of NewYork are organized collectively, and the California leg-islature is considering a move to permit public employ-ees to organize in that state.

The movement toward faculty unionization wasspeeded by a recent decision of the National Labor Re-lations Board that private institutions with annualbudgets of $l-million or more fall under its jurisdic-tion. In the past, the NLRB excluded such institutions,so that only the public colleges and universities instates that had laws permitting their employees to orga-nize could develop unionized faculties.

~

ESE occurrences have combined to make thede?ate ?ver whether faculty mem~ers should joinunions Irrelevant. The Issue now IS, What impact

will collective bargaining have on the character of ourcolleges and universities-and on the relationships be-tween faculty members, administrators, students, andgoverning boards? -

"Almost certainly," says one observer, "collectivebargaining in higher education will move to statewideor system-wide levels and, in the process, destroy muchof the autonomy of the separate campuses." He adds:

"Collective bargaining in a state system of higher ed-ucation will ultimately promote centralization of deci-slon-rnaking. Collective bargaining will contravene theindividual and departmental autonomy for which manyfaculty members have battled so long."

Collective bargaining's advocates disagree vigorously."In fact," says one union official, "bargaining is a re-

sponse to that trend. The only way faculty memberscan playa role, when policies are established on a state-wide basis, is through bargaining and political a4lion.Otherwise, it will just be done over their beads."

In addition, union leaders point our, they have vigor-ousty opposed such steps as the setting of statewidework-load standards by some legislatures.

Nonetheless, warns William B. Boyd, president ofCentral Michigan University, the administration of acollective bargaining contract, "with its emphasis on le-galism, its grievance-laden tendencies, and its lise ofadversary proceedings, will almost inevitably changethe tone of university administration. The last remnantsof colleagueship are apt to disappear. Personal relation-ships are almost bound to change when personnel rela-tions are altered so fundamentally."

Can the traditional character of a college or univer-sity survive such strains? Or will the changes wroughtby the unionization of faculties be a further cause ofdeclining individuality and diversity?

Individualityand theMoney Crunch

THE FINANCIAL CRISIS in higher education has re-placed student protest as the "big issue" in theeyes of the press and public. Where once the

headlines told of 100 students arrested for their roles indemonstrations, they now tel! of 100 colleges anduniversities confronting the prospect of financial disaster.

The money crisis is real and of major proportions.Some private institutions face the possibility of extinc-tion.

The existence of other institutions-public andprivate-is threatened. The Carnegie Commission pre-dicts that nearly two-thirds of the nation's colleges anduniversities are in financial trouble or headed for it.

One spectacular case is that of New York University-c-thc nation's biggest private institution of higher edu-cation. After several years of backbreaking deficits,N.Y.U. announced last fall that it planned to eliminatemore than 200 faculty positions, sell one of its cam-puses to the public system of higher education, and in-sist that, henceforth, every academic unit within theuniversity be able to pay its own way plus its fair shareof university overhead.

Higher education's financial crunch came on theheels of several years of student disruptions-and someobservers have attributed the crisis to the loss of faithin col!eges and universities that followed. But the rootslie deeper-in the end of the era of growth.

In its simplest terms, higher education's crisis has de-veloped because costs kept rising while income did not.

(There is a limit to the amount of tuition a couege oruniversity can charge and still remain cornpetinve-f IAt major universities, large research programs were ini-tiated with federal funds. Those funds have grownscarcer as the government's priorities changed, leav-ing those universities with commitments they cannot af-ford.

The increasing costs hit both public and privateinstitutions.

One observer says that the huge growth during the1960's was itself one of the main causes of higher edu-cation's money troubles. Colleges and universities wereall the more vulnerable, he says, hecause t!!_ey w~re"undercapitalized, overextended, and moving into 10-creased areas of responsibility without permanentfinancing." . .

Yet-while the financial crisis is real, and some Insn-tutions have been forced to close tbeir doors-for thevast majority of colleges and universities, survival itselfis not in question. '-...

Even at New York University, with its appallingproblems, President James M. Hester believes .that .:h,:draconian steps he has taken will assure the uruversr Ysurvival. .

"The disease has been diagnosed, the prescriptionhas been made. We are taking the medicine," saysMr. Hester. "It is very painful, but it is possible."

Edward D. Eddy, president of Chatham ~oJlege,

PU~~~s~~~:a death notice for all of private higher edu-cation is like shooting all the horses because some have

the wheeze." . ""The great majority of the institutions will. su.rvlve~f

Mr. Eddy declares. "Despite the many predictIOnStheir demise, surprisingly few have closed their .dOOrs.Institutions of higher learning do have a pers[ste~ceand tenacity-but not necessarily a guaranteed quah!Y·And there is the rub."

The nation's colleges, Mr. Eddy says, "by and largewill survive. But the emerging question is clearly OOC

of spirit, not just life."

THE economic crisis poses one especially nettlingthreat to the diversity of the system of highereducation and the individuality of every institu-

tion: well-meaning hut potentially damaging cries forheightened efficiency and productivity on the campuses.If taken too literally, such a movement could t~~nthe nation's colleges and universities into faceleSS, spirit-less factories.

Most observers agree that many colleges and unlver-sities can and must improve their fiscal policies. But,warns Paul C. Reinert, president of Saint Louis Univer-sity, they cannot be run like businesses. "There is," hesays, "more at stake than Kleenex."

"Efficiency in higher education remains a complexmatter," warns Howard K. Bowen, chancellor of theClaremont University Center. "Society may be in dan-ger of trying to restrict the functions of higher educa-(tion too narrowly, and to convert institutions into mereassembly lines generating credit hours, rather than al-lowing them to function as centers of learning andculture.

"It would be a mistake, harmful to both educationand to social welfare, to turn colleges and universitiesinto credit-and-degree manufacturers and to judge themsolely by their productivity in these terms."

Father Reinert sums it up: "We must keep in mindthat there arc substantive differences between a collegeand a business. Drive a corporation to the wall and itmay make adjustments in its operations ·that enable itto bounce back. Drive a college to the wall and youcan kill it."

EVEN more controversial than the cries for effici-ency are issues raised by the variety of solutionsthat have been proposed for higher education's

money troubles.Virtua1!y everyone agrees that major new infusions

of public funds for both private and public institutionswill be needed. But how those funds should be chan-neled-whether they should come from the federal orstate governments, whether they should be in the formof institutional aid or grants and loans to students-produce deep divisions within the academic community.

The Carnegie Commission has argued against"lump-sum, across-the-board grants" from the federalgovernment. They could lead to reduced state supportand to the development of a "nationalized system" withstrict government controls, the commission says. In-stead, it favors basing federal support to an institutionon the number of federally supported, needy studentsenrolled, with the states providing the bulk of the sup-port.

Spokesmen for some institutions of higher educationdisagree. Direct federal grants to the colleges and uni-versities, they argue, can make the difference betweenthe survival and collapse of many of them

Spokesmen for many other institutions have arguedthat new government support should come in twoforms: outright grants to the most needy students and"income-contingent loans" to middle-class students.(Under such loans, how much a student must pay backwould be determined in part by how much he earnedafter graduation.)

With most support going to students, these educatorsargue, both public and private institutions could raisetheir tuitions to a point that would more nearly pay forthe actual cost of providing an education.

Such a system would best preserve the diversity ofour system of higher education, says an economistfrom the Brookings Institution. We need, he says, "ashift to public support of students rather than the ex-cessivc reliance on institutionalized support that charac-terlzcs current public support programs." He goes on:

"Such a program of portable aid would free institu-tions 10 develop their own conceptions of thecurriculum required to produce bcucr people and,more importantly, would give student-consumers a rightto choose among alternative conceptions. The govern-ment could and should scrutinize the academic offer-ings for which it is indirectly paying, but the nature ofsuch investigations would change."

Officials at most public institutions oppose any majorshifts of aid from institutional support to support ofstudents. The necessary increases in tuition, they say,would end the nation's long-standing commitment tolow-cost higher education, and would shift the majorburden of paying for education front the society atlarge to the individual student.

That shift, they say, would represent an end to thebelief that SOCiety as a whole-not just the individualstudent-benefits from the higher education of its citi-

Switching from institutional support to loans andgrants "constitutes a definite shift away from public de-cisions -and responsibility for the support and control ofhigher education and toward a philosophy of privateresponsibility and private enterprise, with major conse-quences," says Clifton R. Wharton, Jr., president ofMichigan State University.

"The shift would transform the goals, values, andconduct of the entire higher educational system," hesays

Decisions to be made soon in Congress and the stalelegislatures probably will determine how much newgovernmental aid will be forthcoming and what formthe aid will take. Alumnae and alumni concernedabout preserving the qualities of higher education coulddo higher education no greater service than keeping in-forme.d about the alternatives, and advising their repre-sentanves of their preferences.

THE economic crisis in higher education is, in asense, the cause of all the other forces movingtoward the homogenization and standardization

of our colleges and universities.Many observers suspect that neither the movement

toward statewide systems of colleges and universitiesnor the trend toward collective bargaining among thefaculty members would have gone so far if the era ofgreat growth had not ended. Suddenly, in the economicdepression that followed, higher education was nolonger society's favorite place to spend money.

How, under such conditions, can colleges and uni-versities provide diversity and individuality? Must theysacrifice their autonomy and individuality? Or can theyfind ways to live with the end of growth without givingway to drab uniformity?

Individuality:All the ThreatsCombine

THE end of an era of growth, the scarcity of newresources, the increased competition for t~em,and the public's changing definition of hIgher

education's role in society have all combined to producea major challenge for the nation's colleges and univer-sities.

The task before them now is to meet the challengeswhile preserving the best of the past.It is easy to be pessimistic about the prospects.

Doom-sayers abound. Here is how some severe criticshave described current conditions on the campuses:

... "Respect for universities [faculties andadministrators] has been replaced by distrust and sur-veillance."

... "Informal procedures and policies based uponmutual respect and confidence within the universityhave been replaced by insistence upon due process andby formalized codes."

... "COllegiality based upon unity in goals has beenreplaced by identification and resolution of conflict."

Such concerns are not limited to severe critics.Theodore M. Hesburgh, president of the University of

Notre Dame, speculates that "perhaps during that pe-riod of rapid growth, the institutions-the academiccommunity-grew beyond the potential to be personaland human."

William C. Mcinnes, president of the University ofSan Francisco, says: "People will spend their money,contribute their money, pay their money for servicesand things in which they believe. What has happenedin many cases is that people don't believe in educationthe way they used to."

As a result, many institutions feci more threatenedthan ever by the challenges before them.

One consequence has been that the conflicts betweenpublic and private higher education have been exacer-bated. Once the expansion of the entire higher educa-tional system ceased, the happy state no longer pre-vailed in which everyone was prospering. Now, oneinstitution's gain may well be another's loss. Public andprivate education now often view progress for one as apossible threat to the other.

Says a former official of a state system of higher ed-ucation:

"The pleadings of the private segment for state finan-cial aid are gaining ground-not nearly enough to save

\\

\

them financially, but sufficient to reduce the direct levelof funding for the public institutions."

WarDS the head of a major educational association:"J am firmly convinced that the gravest danger facingus is the possibility of a serious division between thepublic and the independent sectors of higher education.Relatively dormant for well over a decade, as might beexpected during a period of economic expansion, signsof divisiveness are again appearing as we move furtherinto the stringent '70's."

The situation looks confused and troublesome.Higher education has reached a slate where it enjoysless public confidence, has less confidence itself aboutwhat its purposes are, and faces unprecedented compe-tition for a place on America's priority list.

Yet the need for new curricula, and for new educa-tional commitments to new kinds of students, wasnever greater. How can colleges respond in innovativeways, when they must tighten their belts and curtailtheir functions?

Kingman Brewster, president of Yale University, seesthis paradox: "Allhough all universities badly needfunds in order to experiment with new techniques oflearning and study that go beyond the library, the labo-ratory, and the classroom, most of the ideas for mas-sive central government support threaten to impose adead hand of bureaucracy, central planning, and redtape on local initiative."

Colleges and universities thus face major dilemmas:~ How to continue to be effective in a time when

they need major new sources of outside support; and.. How to keep their distinctiveness in an era that

requires economy and ingenuity.

Individuality:Can WeSave It?

Do colleges and universities-as we have knownthem-e-have a future? Or are we headed forsome massive, standardized, nationalized sys-

tem of higher education? Need a new vision of highereducation-as a public utility that everyone can use-produce an impersonal assembly line?

Put another way:Can private colleges and universities survive in a

form worth preserving? Can public institutions avoidthe "pale, insipid sameness" that some see looming onthe horizon?

No one can be blindly optimistic. But many thought;ful observers feel that [he present critical stage posesnot only problems for higher education, but unparal-leled opportunities. The long period of expansion, theyargue, put a premium on graduate education and re-search, and higher education made enormous gainsquantitatively. Qualitatively, however, the improvementmay have been insignificant. On the undergraduatelevel, indeed. what a student received from his institu-tion may not have been much better than what wasprovided to his predecessors in earlier generations.

Now that the pressures for growth have eased,colleges and universities have an opportunity tobe truly individual; to set for themselves spe-

cific, achievable goals, and to pursue them effectively.In an era of no-growth, it is the institutions that

know what they want .to be, and how they arc going tobe it, that will survive and prevail.

Both public and private institutions will be amongthem. Steven Muller, president of the (private) JohnsHopkins University, notes:

"Privacy means relative independence. We have atleast the freedom to choose among alternatives, re-stricted as that choice may be, rather than to have ourdecisions dictated to us by public bodies.

"Our privacy as a university thus exists only as anarrow margin.. . Our task is to preserve that narrowmargin and to make the best possible use of it."

Phillip R. Shriver of Ohio's Miami University (state-supported) speaks from the public-institution standpoint:

"Each university ought to be able to develop its own I

personality and uniqueness. Each ought to have its ownstrengths. Each ought to be encouraged to develop itsown individual programs."

The first task, then, for every institution of highereducation-public and private-must be to develop afirm sense ot what it ought to be and how best toachieve it.

Each institution must know, and believe in, its ownpersonality and uniqueness.

A foundation official says:"The time has come to take a total look at each of

our institutions in some systematic way which relatesenergy and material input to learning output, and re-lates behavioral objectives to social needs. If we do notstrenuously undertake this task and succeed, then ourpresent troubles in a variety of areas will become farworse. Indeed, I see the specter of government or evenindustrial control of our colleges and universities."

Sir Eric Ashby, a distinguished British educator whohas served as a member of America's Carnegie Com-mission,says:

"The gravest single problem facing American highereducation is the alarming disintegration of consensusabout purpose. It is not just that the academic commu-nity cannot agree on technicalities of curricula, certifi-cation, and governance; it is a fundamental doubtabout the legitimacy of universities as places insulated

Ending that fundamental doubt, says Sir Eric, willrequire "a reevaluation of the relation between univer_siries and American society."

INSHORT, the American people must rebuild theirfaith in the colleges and universities_and thecolleges and universities must rebuild faith in them-

selves. 1n doing so, both parties to the contract canassure the survival of both the vast system's diversityand the individuality of its parts.

Many colleges and universities have already begunthe necessary reassessments and redefinitions. Commis_sions on the future have been established on scores ofcampuses. Faculty members, students, administrators,trustees, alumni, and alumnae have been enlisted tohelp define their institutions' goals for the years tocome.

Those new definitions, now emerging, recognize theend of the era of expansion and come to terms with it.Some institutions have chosen to remain small, somelarge. Others have chosen to focus on specific missions,e.g.. ecology, health services, the arts. Still others aremoving into the preparation of teachers for the two-year colleges that, in the years ahead, will attract manynew students to higher education. For their part, manytwo-year colleges are resisting pressures to expand intofour-year institutions, electing to concentrate on prcvid-ing the best possible educational. opp~rtunities to theirown non-traditional student constnueuctes.

Whatever the role they define for themselves, suchcolleges and universities are seeking wa.ys to make edu-cation marc individu!ll and more rewarding.

COLLEGES and universities still have a I.ong way togo before they adjust to the financial stresses,the changing market conditions, the demands

"Ior reform that have beset them. Those that adjust mosteffectively will be the ones that survive as distinctive,individual institutions.

gree in elementary education because hefelt that the foundations are laid In theelementary school. He has enjoyed partici-pation in choirs and vocal groups. He con-siders his most rewarding experience sing-ing in the Grace Methodist Church choir inWilmington with Dr. Ivan Trusler, the direc-tor. Herb reminisced about his early musi-cal training with Miss Dorst and Miss PeggyLyons. He quotes Miss Dorst, "Stop howl-ing and let's sing awhile," He recalls theduets he sang with Mannie Curling. Herbinvites you, "Everybody come down andlet's have some frog's legs sometime."

One of the nice things which happenedat our 45th reunion was the return of Wil-liam Henry Phillips from California. Redsleft our class in 1926 and had never beenback to a reunion. In 1929 he and ChapinDay, '26, went on a camping trip to Cali-fornia and Reds stayed. He worked in thelos Angeles surveyor's office for 11 yearsand then entered the United States CivilService employment, staying until his re-tirement in 1966. There were four childrenborn to him and his first wife, Iris: David,with a Ph.D. in chemistry, is on the fac-ulty of Wabash College; Marion Ruth ismarried and has a son and daughter; Johnworks for the labor Department; and Glennis the youngest. Reds and Iris had a goodlife with travel across the continent and anextensive tour of Europe. A highlight ofthis was a visit in Ankara, Turkey, with Da-vid, who at that time was teaching chemis-try in the Middle East Technical School. Athome they were active In church and com-munity, Iris died in 1969 of leukemia.

later Reds courted and married Louise,whom we met last June and found charm-ing. louise shares Red's interest in traveland they plan to return to Westminster forour 50th anniversary.

When Joy Reinmuth and I attended thefirst briefing and lecture for the Middle Eastand Holy land Seminar and Jet Cruise, wewere delighted to learn that Cowboy andFrances, '30, Roberts and Frances Barnes(Bl's widow) were also going and been as-signed to the same bus group with us. Weall were anticipating an Inspirational tripfrom February 26 to March 6.

Joy and I had a delightful Canadian triplast summer. We started with Niagara Falls,then traveled on to Toronto, Thousand Is-lands, Old Canada Village, Ottawa, Mon-treal, Quebec, Three Rivers, Frederickton,and finally New Glasgow and Truro InNova Scotia. We visited Joy's umpteencousins at several places en route,

COWboy Roberts retired a few years ago,but he is one of those indispenslble per-sons who is called upon to do special as-stsnments in the Department of Financeand Field Service, Board of Global Mis-sions of the United Methodist Church. InNovember and December he carried outassignments in New York, Tennessee, andArizona. In late December and January heand Frances visited his brothers and sis-ters In Texas, stopped at Kitts Peak Ob-s~rvatory in the tand of the Popago In-dians, spent a day at Carlsbad Caverns,and then on to Florida for a three weeks'

not visited, and listed five. I wonder ifthere is any country now that has notbeen blessed by Lew's presence.

Lew reports that Grant and Ted Williamshave moved Irom Bardstown, Kentucky, toBradenton, Florida.

Estelle Essig Yingling had a month'stour in Europe in 1972, visiting 11 coun-tries. Estelle enjoys working in her yardand walking. She conducts two churchchoirs and sings with the EmmitsburgCommunityChorus.

John Wooden retired last June alter giv-ing 45 years of service to the schools ofCarroll county. He started as a classroomteacher, advancedto principal, then super-visor, and finally Carroll County Directorof Instruction and Supervision. His col-leagueshonored him with a dinner the eve-ning before our reunion. The priorities ofhis life: family, church, education, friends,were presented by his son Fred, the Rev.Julian Tavenner, Dr. Thomas Pullen, andDr. Lowell Ensor respectively.John remainsbusy in retirement. He and Polly made atrip to the West Coast last summer. Therewas a visit with Fred and his English wifein Aspen, Colorado, where Fred is em-ployed in the cftlce of the director ofcounty and city planning for Pilkin county.They then made an extended visit to theirdaughter. AUene, in Edmondton, Alberta.Allene's Husband is football coach for theEdmondtonEskimos.TheWoodensenjoyedtheir four grandchildren.John is Carroll county chairman of the

March of Dimes and of the Samuel Jen-ness Scholarship Fund. He is an activemember of his church and of the RotaryClub. Polly and John were planning toleave early in February with Mariorie, '26,and Gerald, '26, Richter for St. Petersburg,Florida, where they were expecting to seeEz Williams, '26, and Tom, '30, and Ruth(Schlincke. '28) Braun.

Cards were returned by Ginny HastingsJohn, Hortense Pettit, and Emily PickettBrown saying they had no interesting newsto report for The HILl.

I shall not contact you for news for sev-eral months but shall depend on you tosend mea note when something interestingoccurs in your life. Our next deadline isMay 15 for news to appear in the Augustissue of The HILL.Word has just been receivedof the death

Charles and Henrietta (Little, '33) Foutzhad somedelightful weeks in Florida in De-cember. They visited relatives on bothcoasts. They always scatter joy whereverthey go.

I finally caught up with Evelyn Sega/ooseEnsor (Mrs. Truman Ensor-Truman is abrother of Ethel Ensor Forasman). RuthMarker Caspari gave me her telephonenumber which is in my zone, so we couldtalk as long as we wanted. She soundedjust like the tall young woman we knewon the Hill. I asked her to bring me up todate with Information since college.

It was so interesting to learn that whenshe taught Latin and English in Salisburyfor two years, Alma Taylor Pruitt was herroommate. She then moved to Baltimorecounty and taught at Sparrows Point forone year and at TowsonHigh for five years.

She marriedTruman Ensorwho was em-ployed by the International HarvesterCom-pany.

Tru-man retired near Towson.They have a son who lives in Canton,

Ohio. He is employed by I.B.M. and hastwo children. They also have a daughterwho lives in los Angeles. She named herdaughter Carolyn after Carolyn Foutz Ben-son.

Evelyn did volunteer church work InCleveland. including playing the plano. Shesays she still misses the Cleveland snows.She visits in Uniontown, her childhoodhome, and runs Into former classmatesand friends. It was refreshing to talk withEvelyn. Keep us informed at a future date.Thanks.

It is with deep sorrow that I tell you ofthe death of "Hoot" Chambars' wife. Itried to get Hoot by phone; then I receiveda card from him from Sidney, Nebraska,wishing us a "Happy, Healthy New Year."Sounds like he went back to his homeplace lor over Christmasandmaybelonger.

In a long telephone chat with Ed Brown.I learned that he has a stepgrandson atWest Point (t wonder who'lI be the first'31er to have a grandchild on the Hill?)Ed and lzetta had a real catch up visit withthe Marvin Sterlings in Crisfield.

After so many years I was delighted tohear from Adelaide Mullineaux Butler. Be-lieve it or not Adelaide lived here in Wash-ington for about 35 years. Sheand her hus-band are now living in Waldorf. They'vethree married daughters and six grandchil-dren, three of each. Adelaide is the trav-eler in the family-Hawaii, Nassau, andEurope. This year she plans to visit SouthAmerica.

Harvey (Pete) Flater, one of Dick Har-lew's famous boxing boys, has been serv-ing as a Methodist minister on the EasternS~o.reof Maryland and Virginia. Preaching,raising a family, and getting a master's de-gree from Temple University has kept himmighty busy. last June he and his wife~ouise, went Into semi-retirement. HarveyIS now curator at the historic Barratt'sChapel, Church and Museum, eight milesso~th. of Dover on route 113. They live"Within a broad jump of the Chapel in abrick house." They're expecting companyfrom WMC.So when you do stop by to seethem, tell them "Issie sent you."When Joe Newcomer isn't busy teaching

the young'uns of today, he can be foundon one of the Frederick golf greens. Thenin his free time he is chairman of theAlumni Fund for our class. So when youhear fro~ Joe or one of his volunteers,do take time to respond to their letters.

Eigh-teen people out there have two things incommon.They are all membersof the WMCclass of '31 and they all have a post cardwith my address on one side and a blankspace on the other.

He is active in theYMCA, Kiwanis, and serves on the boardof a home for alcoholics.

His major Annual Con-ference responsibility is on the Commis-sion of Finance and Administration. He alsoserves on the Clergy Advisory Council ofWesley Theological Seminary, Washington,D. C. A~ though this were not enough todo, he IS also serving as a Class Agentfor 1973.for WMC.

Rev. Douglas Merriam's son, Allen, wasawarded his Ph.D. by Ohio University in1972 and is now teaching on the facultyof Trenton State College in New Jersey.Also, the walls of Doug's re-Iocated churchedifice in Newfoundland, New Jersey, were"rapidly rising" when I heard from him inNovember, and the congregation expectedto be able to occupy it for services duringthe spring of 1973.

Since Jane and George Hunter have re-tired, they travel a little to see their chil-dren and grandchildren-one child in Utah,one on Nantucket Island, and one in Ver-mont. On her November card, Jane saidthey had been to see all of them and werethen "settled in for the winter."

Dick Martin, "a grandfather at last,"with one grandson, has one son who is ateacher, another, a sales manager for localradio, and two daughters-in-law who areteachers. Dick is retired USA, still fightingthe education battle-Director of Pupil Ser-vices, Washington County Board of Educa-tion. He is living with a lovely grandmother(who he quickly adds is his wife), a travelagent who travels "all over." He has beenon several trips with her-Puerto Rico, etc.However, she likes to fly, and while Dickdoes, too, he's happier if he can keep onefoot on the ground! HIs only complaint isthat he's gelting older, but then aren't weall?

Had a card from John O'leair saying thathe's looking forward to being at our nextreunion in June and to tell all members of'33 alive and well to show it and returnto the Hill for that weekend.

Bobbe Daskam Keyser's opinion of mo-bile home living is-"it's the greatest!" In-stant friends 01 all kinds and all the activ-ity (or lack of it) you want. She extends acordial invitation-"Come one, come all,to see us!"

Sue Cockey Kieler was privileged, as thewife of a member of the Duke law School,Class of 1937, to be a guest in the WhiteHouse at a dinner given by President andMrs. Nixon in celebration of the 35th anni-versary of their graduation from lawSchool-a very thrilling and exciting eve-ning. The day after that party Sue andDick, '34, left for ten days In California-Boy Scout National Meeting plus a chanceto see their California family, daughter,son-in-law, and three granddaughters, 7,8, and 9. While in that area, they spenttwo great play days with Bobbe (Daskam)Keyser and Charlie. The last night there,Sue sprained her ankle and Dick had topush her around airports and Disneylandin a wheel chair the next day!.The Reunion Committee-Lloyd Elder-

dice, Lib Buckey Bixler, Miriam Fogle West,Troy Hambsch McGrath, and I met in Jan-uary (which is when this is being written).Between then and when you read this col-umn, you should have received two letterswith reunion details. Just remember-keep

butions to Alumni Fund. According to fig-ures published in a recent HILL, our totalexceeded that of any other class duringthe 1930's and 1940's.

"Lillian Jackson Martin, an Englishteacher at Wilde lake High School in thenew city of Columbia, has been namedMaryland's Teacher of the Year for 1973.The announcement was made by StateSchool Superintendent James A. Sensen-baugh.

"Mrs. Martin, mother of four children,has 16 years' teaching experience. Shesaysof loday's students. according to a re-lease from the Slate Department of Edu-cation, '(They) are a lot more clever thanwe were. They spot phonies faster, theyare unafraid to express themselves, theirwriting is more honest, and when they arereally turned on there is absolutely nothingthese kids can't do:

"Earlier, as a resident of Baltimore, Mrs.Martin organized street schools in a chang-ing neighborhood in an effort to encouragenew black residents to become involvedwith local churches.

"In a letter Supporting her candidacy asteacher of the year, members of her teamof teachers at Wilde Lake wrote:

Lillian Jackson Martin .. see '45.

"'What is it like to teach with a Ren-aissancewoman?

"'With Lillian Martin it is a lesson inhumility. Who else could help create thecurriculum in a new school, coordinate ateam of talented, forceful teachers, super-vise the yearbook staffs and newspaper,serve on every influential administrativecommittee in the school, toil with a classof problem students, evaluate all learningpackages from her team and create herown, Write individual contracts for studentswith specific needs-and still have time tolisten to a troubled youngster or cheer adiscouraged colleague?'

"Mrs. Martin will represent Maryland incompetition for the National Teacher of theYear award, which will be announced bythe White House in the spring."

So all of you classmates be watchingyour local newspaper for the announce-ment of the winner. Right on, LitOur lives have many turns over which

we have no control. I received a card fromAudrey Tries/er Moore postmarkedTucson,Arizona, September 30, 1972. My last col-umn had been mailed and so I saved thecard. Last week I received word of Aud-rey's death, October 15, 1972. The causewas cardiac arrest. She leaves her hus-band, Robert, and three sons, Robert, Jr.,Kim, and Scott. Her brother, Henry, '41,resides in Phoenix, Arizona, and her sis-ster, Edna, '42, in Albuquerque, New Mex-leo. The Trieslers were all very much apart of Western Maryland College.

Inaugural WeekApril 29-May 6

Dr. Ralph C. John's Inauguration was 8 week-long celebration 01 music, discussion,speeches, art shows. and fun. Everyone on campus was involved, particularly on the dayitself when a student-fun carnival surrounded the more formal activities which were held

in a green and gold tent on the back campus.

156 delegates Irom col/eges, universities, and learned societies took part In the academic procession which began the inaugural cere-mony. In the background ere two tents lor the post-ceremony reception.

IN HIS response on inauguralday, Dr. John referred to a tra-dition that threads through

the history of the college-H ...It comes to us from the past,and affirms the priority of trans-cendent references, aestheticvalues, humanizing influences andliberal learning. It points to theplaces where people are, andenjoins creative, helpful relation-

ships."But the past, he potnted out,

flows into the present and there-fore "Western Maryland Collegeis ours today. Obversely, webelong to the college in this crit-ical interval between yesterdayand tomorrow. Its educationalphilosophy, program and goalsare those that we affirm."

Then he added that the "futureis the present projected in time"

June, 1973

and declared "faith in the futureof Western Maryland College.In the company of its institutionalpeers, this college is in 'a strongposition, with needs and problemsto be sure, but without the brood-ing anxiety about survival capa-b~lit~es that wear down the equa-nimity, and educational quality,of less fortunate places.

"So we come back to wherewe started. In saying 'yea' to thismoment, we are affirming thewhole history of this academiccommunity-its past, its presentand its future.

"It is an honor to have beenelected this college's sixth presi-dent. All of the expectations thatmotivated the move are beinggenerously served. And we arehappy.. "

A SENSE OFCOMMUNITY

The inaugural theme, "The Liberal ArtsCollege: A Sense of Community," was thefocus for the three symposia haiti inDecker Lecture Hall during inaugurationweek. led by Warren Bryan Martin, provost,School 01 Arts and Sciences. CaliforniaState Coltege, Sonoma, the symposia tea-tured facully and administrators, students,alumni, and community leaders.

Martin began each session with re-marks on the particular focus of that eve-ning, and was followed by response fromthe panel and audience. The central en-servalions of each evening are summarizedbelow.

Wednesday, May 2: "Distinguish in Orderto Unify." Panel: Miriam Brickell, MichaelMock, Edith Aidington, Michael Rudman,Ira Zapp,

The liberal arts college should assurethe active, equal presence of three modesof teaching and learning:

I} Obiective analysis. This mode empha-sizes the college as a center of intellectualendeavor and of subject matter specianza,~ion. The proresecr is acknowledged as be-mg in a preferred Position--giving the stu-denl the necessary techniques of investi-gation, The emphasis in Ihis mode is onthe verbal rather than the visual, on Europerather than Asia; it tends to encouragehierarchies and titles and suggests thatage is a requisite to competence, It de-mands that (2) and {3} defend themselvesand sees itself as the primary aim of th~liberal arts college,

2) Experiential involvement. This modeexplores off-campus encounters, but in-cludes personalized, socially and politi-cally relevant activities by the student and!aculty on, campus as well as off. EmphasisIS on the Immediate rather than Ihe hietort-cal,on the individual rather than the group.It frequently dares (I) to rate it, but doesnot set up any tuncucner criteria by whichII can be rated. All experience is generallyregarded as translatable into academiccredit and hours.

3) Transcendent vision. This mode cete-br~tes the incluSiol) of experiences andattitudes which can be best defined by

such terms as imagination, rapture, soul,metaph?r, the sacramental and the spiri-lua!. It IS a reaction against the highly sci-entlzed approach to experience; it derivesmuch of its identity from the emphases ofthe East. Its dangers are frequently ex-pressed in a radical subjectivism.

Not one or two of these but all threemust be present in a healthy liberal artsenvironment. Only in this way can the lib-eral arts coJlege do what it says it must-edUcate and liberate the whole person,making that person aware of the optionsavailable to him or her. It is inconceivablethat a liberal arts college, in the latterhalf of the twentieth century, should at-

Too often the eman liberal arts cotlegais guilty of "practicing mediocrity in anintimate setting." An educational commu-nity decides-either consciously or uncon-sciously-whether il will be multidimen-sional or unidimensional. Western Marylandseems to have opted for the latter. As aresult, most of its students come fromsimilar backgrounds with similar aims. Thefaculty is proudly and almost exclusivelydiscipline-oriented. The college must ~ewary of experiencing too much comfort Insaying: "We're still turning away four stu-

(Continued from page six)Includes in its general requirements. Atthe same time, the college should ques-tion the present practice of aHowing ma-jor departments to claim too much timefrom the first two years of the student'sCollege education. Also, more attentionshould be paid to alternate meansof evalu-ation (portfolios, contracts) of students,faculty, and administrators. Students shouldbe able to construct their own majors,without those majors being labeled as de-partments.

Friday, May 4: "The Community of Con-venience and the Community of Convic-tion." Panel: Arnold Amass, Betty Cor-well, Can Darcy, Jim Earp, Kendall Faulk-ner, Roy Johnson, Michael Shultz.

It is in the society's best interest If itwill realize that the college is a center ofcritical and independent thinking; of all in-stitutions in society it is, potentially, thebest suited for this task. However, fre-quently the state educational instltutionsrelinquish this role by SUrrenderingto thepressures of the state legislature; the smallprivate college bows out 01 this activity byhiding behind What lt defines as its con-stituency. Too often, the educational insti-tutions approach the society with insuffi-cient knowledge of or compassion for it-offering suggestions without having takenthe time to work daily with that community.The three evenings provided the founda-

tion for discussions among the wide va-riety of ages and attitudes which compriseWestern Maryland College. Reactions were"alive"-whether endorsing or attackingthe ideas developed. Perhaps the key tothe future impact of these discussionswas provided by President John when heexpressed publicly on Friday his apprecia-

Kendall Faulkner represents the student body at Dr. John's inauguratIon.

GREETINGS were given fromthe alumni by Mr. RobertBricker, from the faculty

by Dr. Isabel Royer, and fromthe students by Miss KendallFaulkner.

Kendall, president of theArgonauts and the Trumpeters,summed up everyone's feelings.

" " I should try to representthe feelings and opinions ofsome 1100 students as I extendgreetings to Dr. John and ·hisfamily. But I've decided that thisis so nearly impossible a taskthat I wilJ instead relay some per-sonal observations I have col-lected over this year and hopetbat these may speak somewhatfor my fellows. let me beginby saying that I do not envy Dr.John the job with which he foundhimself faced-Dr. Lowell Ensorwas a figure revered and re-spected by us all, and to fill thegap left by his retirement fromWMC is no easy 'task. Even so,Dr. John and his wife have verynaturally become an intimate partof the Western Maryland com-munity.

"There is one observation thatI hope might be an appropriaterepresentation of a feeling sharedby all the students here on theHill, and that is, whenever one isaround Dr. John, he cannothelp but feel good. There is anexcitement, a dynamic qualityabout him that just naturally rubspage ten

off. Talking with him or justexchanging Hello's, one is com-pelled to sense his interestand true concern. This is but onething that this year has taught usabout Dr. John. There are others.

"If you want or need to talkto Dr. John and can't get an ap-pointment to see him duringhis or your busy day, just showup at some campus event andthe odds are pretty good that heand Mrs. John will both bethere. You may run into ·him someevening walking around campuswith the family dogs (on anextended leash that may makeapproaching him difficult). Ifyou're an early bird, you may catcha glimpse of a sweat-suited fig-ure making its way toward theseventh green. If you ever get achance to visit the President'shome, don't pass it up-Mrs. Johnhas been kept busy this yearremodeling that most magnificentof houses. And then there's al-ways Randy.

"We the students of WesternMaryland are very much enam-oured of our new President.Homecoming last fall centeredaround welcoming him, with floatsdepicting a 'Big John' we didnot yet know well-and as we havegrown to know him better, wehave come to feel an immenseamount of respect for the man whomeans so much to the future ofWestern Maryland College.

The educator asserted his belief in theimportance of the curriculum but addedthat it is time for every liberal arts collegeto reassess its values and accomplish-ments and to re-examine the "cult of the~cademic discipline." He referred to thelimited development of interdisciplinary?ou~sesand to some of the experimentalinstitutions which build the learning expe-rience around great seminal issues. Hefeels that success of the latter in meetingthe Vocational needs of students is stillSpeculativebut that they "do unquestion-ably look toward the unity 01experience ina way not generally achieved through theold disciplinary models."

His final point was that the liberal artscommunttymust "seek some meansof go-Ing beyond the mere training of the mind,the traditional practice of the liberal artsCollege for countless generations. I thinkthe new term is 'affective' as distinct from'cognitive' learning."

He continued by saying that collegesmust ?evelop "greater empathy and socialccnecousnees. particularly among thosewho will be the leaders. .. As never be-lore this nation needs, but perhaps asnever before it fails to recognize the needfa." the kind of liberal arts college which:"'111 continuously seek the right answersI~ a never-ceasing delense of mankind'shighest aspirations."

Investiture HonorsDean John Makosky

Investiture is a tradition at the collegewhich dates to the 19th century. Membersof the senior class are invested with theacademic regalia they will wear at com-mencement in June. In recent years theceremony has changed to include honorsand is now called Investiture and HonorsConvocation. This year the ceremony wasdedicated to Dr. John D. Makosky. In acomplete break with tradition, the speakerwas Or. Earl J. McGrath, director of theHigher Education Center at Temple Uni-versity rather than an unannounced fac-ulty member. Dr. McGrath's topic was"Academic HonorS-What Do They Sig-nify?"

In addition to dedicating the convoca-tion to him, the college awarded Dr. Ma-kosky an honorary Doctor of Letters de-gree. The citation referred to his long asso-ciation with Western Maryland College (39years on the faculty) and his contributionto the educational tradition of the college.

In his Investiture and Honors Convoca-tion address, Dr. Earl J. McGrath made aplea for continued recognition of aca-demic achievement so as to maintain somelevel of intellectual excellence.

Dr. McGrath was on campus during thefall and winter making a study of WesternMaryland's administrative structure. Witht~is background he said to the May 6 au-cnence in Baker Memorial Chapel, "Fromthe first day I set foot on this campus ayear ago and became acquainted with stu-dents, faculty, administrators, and trusteesI have tried to identify its special dislinc-

J.D.M.by Keith N. Richwine

John D. Makosky, '25, teacher, Englishdepartment chairman, and Dean of the Fac-ulty, retired this June after nearly 40 yearsof exceptional service to the college.

The following impressions are excerptedfrom the current issue of the English de-partment Newsletter:

One of the great advantages ofsharing an office with John Makoskywas the Instant availability of a tact-bank, to which you could turn withouthaving to trot off to the Library. Wasit a plot summary, a date, or someother fact related to literature or lit-erature history? Did a question ariseabout who sang in what opera at whatplace and time? Where should oneslay on a hike in the Blue Ridge? Whowon the Master's golf tournament in19391 How on earth could the Fac-ulty have approved this or that sillycollege rule back In 1942? It was allone. The sage of Science Hall wouldreflect a moment or so, and then de-liberately and unassumingly deliverthe answer, complete with appropriatedetail. The scope of his stock of in-formation in those days was always asurprise to me. It still is today.

This formidable memory has carriedover into his teaching. But it is com-forting to recall that he has nevervalued memory in itself, and has al-ways tempered it with an amazingimagination in the organization of hiscourses, and an ingenuity of teachingtechniques which can only be de-scribed as unique. In a day when su-periority is often suspect, it might beunwise to call him a Master Teacher.But he was, and he is. After all mer-ited praise has been given the Dean,there still remains the great thing inhis life-the teaching!

In addition to the exciting Collo-quium years and the voluntary JanuaryTerm experiment, Makosky deliberatelysqueezed several other local innova-tions out of us: a pass-fail option, thesecond-track through College require-ments, the de-mystification of basicrequirements, and he encouraged areal concern among the younger fac-ulty for the ever-growing and thrivingsummer and graduate programs. Dur-ing the crucial expansion years, hesaw to it that quality was seldom sac-rificed to quantity-a trick very fewother deans could manage.

More important, perhaps, was hisyear-in-and-year-cut struggle to con-tain, if not defeat, the Old Fossils andthe Young Turks in their relentless bat-tle to turn the College into a trade

John Makosky is the only person Iknow who could tell me to go to helland I would feel excited by the pros-pect. Because I k~ow that he wouldtake a particular diabolical joy in (1)seeing that I had understood th? curseand (2) leading me on the Journeywhich that curse began, 11 I showedany evidence of being able to matchhim curse for curse, before wereached our destination he would haveled me puckishly down some side roadto momentary Elysia. We'd probablyend up in a highly enjoyable Shavianhell, anyway; plus, the trip wo~ld ,havebeen the richness of several lifetimes.

Every golfer has his idiosyncrasies,

and John is no exception. The times Iplayed with him he wore not golfshoes but a pair of L. L. Bean Rangermoccasins, a sturdy hiking shoe. Inoticed the shoes because I wasstruck by what John did with his feetwhen hilling the ball. Most golfersstrive for a motionless, solid stance,but he allows his feet to rock as hebegins his backswlng, as If he werealready beginning his walk down thefairway, knowing full well where hisball was going to land.

Such an intimation undoubtedlycomes from the hours of practice heputs in ~n the rim of the college'sfootball field or on the old seventhfairway. John practices more thanmost golfers I have ever known.Sometimes I get the feeling that heonly plays regular rounds to test thevalidity of his practice sessions, thatgoing off by himself to hit fifty ballswith his five iron has some kind ofreligious significance for him, or that,like Thoreau, he has some privatebusiness to transact and that he bestconcludes the deal with a golf clubIn his hands.

SPANGby Arleen Heggemeier

To the music lovers of Westminster andvicinity, and to alumni, Oliver Spangler isknown as the director of the College Choirand the College Singers, both recognizedfor their excellent performances on andoff campus.

To the members of SI. Paul's UnitedChurch of Christ, he is not only their or-ganist and choir director but an involvedand active member of the congregation.

To the Faculty Club, Spang, or Dick, Isknown as a leader of group singing parexcellence ("But Beethoven never made adime leading group singing."), able to per-su~de even the most blase that this squareactivity is lots of fun after all. This is ac-complished by a judicious application ofthe Spangler collection of puns and othergroaners. ("Why do they always call onme When they want foolishness?")

To his piano and organ students, he isa dedicated and patient teacher, always~eady to talk over a problem or share aJoke.

To hi~ colleagues in Levine Hall, he isour resident good humor man, an islandof (mostly) calm in a sea 01 temperament.

To his family, he is a devoted husbandand .father. And, to a young lady namedJennuer Belt, he is super-playmate inwhose coat pockets she has been knownto hide ~er socks. She alone is privileged:0 call him by what is probably his favor-ne title: Granddaddy.

Dr. Ridingtonby Melvin D. Palmer

Though Dr. and Mrs. Ridington will con-tinue 10 leach some of their regularcourses, Dr. Ridington formally retired thisspring after 35 years at Weslern MarylandCollege. He and Mrs. Ridington have pop-ulated Maryland and adjoining states withteachers of classical languages. They havetaught prospective lawyers and chemistsabout our classical heritage. They havealso found time for numerous professionaland campus activities. They have taughtpractical humanism by precept and ex-ample.

When I came to WMC, I thought Dr.Ridington to be one of the most formal in-stitutions on campus; yet he was the firstsenior professor I could approach, inform-ally, on a first name basis. Bill Ridingtonteaches balance. He is a serious man witha whimsical grin, an idealistic realist, anintellectual gadgeteer. He upholds the mostexalted ideas of Western Humanism, andhe relentlessly delves lor lacls. He bal-ances books with archeological digs, Hom-er's winged words with tape recorders. Heis an expert on classical drama and houserepairs. Archetypally, he's Greek; actually,a Pennsylvanian. I see him as a SophocleanBenjamin Franklin, and I'm happy the col-lege can keep both Ridingtons on campusfor awhile to leach some 01 their courses.

CURRICULUMFor several years the education depart-

ment has been receiving requests for aprogram leading to early childhood certifi-cation. The curriculum committee studiedit and the college agreed that this is notthe time to consider doubling staff andfacilities in order to add the program. Forthis reason, the education departmenttalked informally with other colleges re-garding a possible cooperative programand has come to an agreement with HoodCollege.

The curriculum committee therefore rec-ommended to the faculty, which agreed,the following program: a student will en-roll for two courses (3 credits each) to beoffered in early childhood education atWMC in alternating fall terms; the studentwill enroll for the senior education semes-ter at Hood College, live that semester atHood, and student teach with the Hoodclass; the student will include in the four-year schedule a broadened general edu-cation program amounting to about 21 ad-ditional hours.

The curriculum committea notes that the21 hours include courses already requiredby some majors and feels it is likely thatsome departments will be able to devise away 01 implementing the option.

NEW PROGRAMGraduates of police training and criminal

Justice seminars conducted by the Profes-sional Standards Division of the Interna-tional Association of Chiefs of Police willnow have an opportunity to qualify lor col-lege course credits through a program de-veloped in cooperation with Western Mary-land College.

The cooperative criminal justice educa-tion program was formalized in Washing-ton In May when Quinn Tamm, executivedirector of IACP, and Dr. Ralph John, presi-dent of Western Maryland College, met tosign a leiter of intent.

Mr. Tamm and Dr. John joined In a state-

June, 1973

ment terming the agreement "a first" inthe criminal justice field. "It will serve themutual objectives of Western Maryland Col-lege and the IACP in improving the educa-tional levels of the individual police officerand advancing the professionalization oflaw enforcement," they said.

Dr. John said the agreement offers aliberal arts college the "opportunity tomake an explicit contribution to the com-munity in a significant area of criminaljustice and represents one of a sequenceof developments we anticipate in conjunc-tion with our involvement in the field of

criminal justice.""The college course credit program is

directed specifically to those seminar par-ticipants who qualify for such credits in ac-cord with requirements as defined andestablished by the faculty and administra-tion of Western Maryland College," saidDr. John.

Past experience in conducting IACPseminars. according to Mr. Tamm, "indi-cates that participants bring with them avaried background of both practical expe-rience and academic achievement. Whilesome participants may be college grad-uates, the majority represent an educationrange extending between a high school di-ploma and the four-year baccaleureate de-gree. The course credit program is de-vised to assist those participants who areactively pursuing higher studies leading toan undergraduate degree in Jaw enforce-ment and criminology."

AWARD"They Grow in Silence: An Evening on

Deafness," produced joinlly by the TotalCommunication Laboratory of WesternMaryland College and the Maryland Centerfor Public Broadcasting, has received thePublic Broadcasting corporation'S Commu-nity Service Award. Only three publicbroadcasting awardS were made this yearand "An Evening on Deafness" was theonly one produced for a local audience.

Films used in the program were pro-duced through a grant from the Bureau ofEducation of the Handicapped to Dr. L.Earl Griswold and Dr. McCay Vernon, bothmembers of the faculty. The Total Commu-nication Laboratory is making the filmsused for the award-winning program avail-able to other TV stations and to civic andprivate groups. They already have beenused in Florida and are being considered

for Chicago.

KNUT HJELTNESby Nellie W, Arrington, '74

Anyone who watched the 1973 WesternMaryland track team knows internationaltrace is definitely beneficial.

To the campus, international trademeans Knut Hjeltnes of ,0'ystese, Norway.Knul has broken the college records inthe discus, javelin, and shot put and theNCAA and Penn Relays records in the dis-cus this spring.

Not that his performance was unex-pected. Knut, a member of the NorwegianNational Track Team, missed his country's1972 Olympic Track Team by one inch inthe discus throw. He arrived on campus inFebruary, 1973, as a freshman physicaleducation and pre-physical therapy major.In the first college track meet, in earlyApril against Loyola College, Knut thrilledspectators when he threw the discus182' 3". His performance broke the NCAArecord of 178' 11%". During the samemeet, the young Norwegian set WMC rec-ords of 54'4V2" in the shot put and 209'9"in the javelin throw.

But Knut's high point for the collegetrack season came on April 27 when hewent to the Penn Relays and won the dis-cus throw with a distance of 193' 4". Theprevious Penn Relays record was 180'11".Knut received the Frank Danneman Awardas the outstanding college athlete in fieldevents at the Penn Relays. later he wonthe Middle Atlantic Conference meet,breaking the old record.

Why did Knut come to Western Mary-land, a college not exactly renowned forits track team? He says he wanted to cometo America for the experience of anothercountry and to be with his fiancee's family.He chose Western MarYland because ofOdd Haugen, another Norwegian importand track star. "Odd informed me aboutthe school, the possibilities of studyinghere, the possibilities of sports here."

As for the track team here, Knut feelsthe small team and coaches mean "trackand field on the college level can givemore than on the university level." Hedoesn't spare words in his praise of trackcoaches Rick Carpenter and Sam Case("Dr. Sam" to Knut). "The coaches arebrilliant, ... fantastic:' he reports, addingthey create a friendly atmosphere amongthe team members.

Another reason Knut likes the smallteam is it gives him a chance to partici-pate in more than one event. He explainshe started track in Norway when he was14, participating first in the high jump,then as a sprinter. As he grew bigger (at21, he's 6 feet, 3 inches tall and weighs225 pounds), he went to the discus, jave-lin, and shot put events. Participating inmany events, "that's in my blood. That'swhy the team here suits me."

page eighteen

Dr. Sam Case talked enthusiasticallyabout Knut and stated flatly, "With training,he'll do much better." In the discus, Caseexplained, "He's just betler than anyoneelse, period, as far as ali-time championsare concerned." Noting that Knut, previousto the Penn Relays, would have held thepre-1960 world's record, Case said Knut is"definitely a world class competitor."

Knut tells of his accomplishments withan honest pride. His spoken English hasonly a few flaws. But he admits, "I stillhave some language problems." His bigproblem, he reports, is his reading vocab-ulary and fluency. "It's depressing to spendan hour on three pages." He hopes hisgrades will improve with his reading.

He laughs when asked his reaction toreading about himself in the BaltimoreSun sports pages recently. "II's great forthe first time." He thinks the publicitycould help him if he becomes an Americancitizen and is a coach with a name recog-nized in the sports world.

But before that happens, Knut is lookingforward to something else. "I assume Iwill represent Norway in the 1976 Olym-pics. That's my goal-to participate in theOlympics."

Why not? The way he's going, Knut hasa terrific chance of making the 1976 Nor-wegian Olympic Track Team. sports magazine.

The HILL

Alumni Association

by Philip E. Uhrig

Pictures and prose suggest that someof our alumni clubs are active in a timeWhen many colleges and universities havedropped theirs or see them in their deaththroes.

In a way, western Maryland is no excep-tion, for to sustain interest in alumni clubs(chapters) is probably the most difficultjob facing the Alumni Association today.We recognize the significant contributionclubs have made for years, and as longas interest can be maintained In the field,we feel It important to uphold the tradi-tion. To continue the search lor reasonsand answers, Clarence (Jack) Fossett hasbeen appointed chairman of the ChapterStudy Committee by the alumni board.

Many benefits accrue to college andclub members alike, none the least ofWhich is the opportunity for profitablecontact by officers of the college and thealumni association with local alumni.

A. W. Sailor, a 1907 graduate of Cornell,and former secretary-treasurer of his largeand active local Chicago alumni club, in1944 authored a classic, "A Primer OfAlumni Work," which at one time was onthe shelf of every alumni secretary in thecountry. He wrote about all aspects ofalumni activity, and but for recent varia-tions in method and modifications of tone,his principles stand as vital today as theday he wrote them.

According to his treatise, clubs startedjust before the Civil War, whereas classorganization predated the nineteenth cen-tury. Our three older clubs have chartersdating back into the early twenties eventhough the Alumni Association started

many years before.The concept of clubs, and how they

compare in interest and activity with classfunctions and fund percentage participa-tion would take a much longer articlethan this to spell out. However, the func-tion of the club is one so different thanthe others that percentages bear little

importance.I agree with Sailor when he says that

the local alumni club is a relatively smallpart of the alumni body. In our case andnationally, if ten percent of the local bodyof the alumni turn out for a club function,we are pleased. In 1972, Alumni Fund par-ticipation was fifty-four percent. Of coursewe were pleased, in fact ecstatic, but thecomparison is useless, for though bothare indications of alumni support, theybear on different aspects of the totalalumni program. It may be reasonable ~osuggest, however, that personal contact Inthe field bears significantly on one's desireto financially support his alma mater. Thereis no better place tor alumni of a localarea, be it metropolitan or one encom-passing 150 miles in circumference, to gettogether for a common cause on theirhome grounds than the club program.

We have reported activities of the clubs

for years, and plan to continue. At somewe take pictures which turn out, at othersbulbs flash and nothing results, but pho-tographing the group or not is the leastimportant aspect of the activity.

This year, Dr. John has made quite acircuit and at this writing has yet to visitthe Western New York Club in Rochesterwhere a luncheon on April 28 is planned.He has visited with alumni at their meet-ings in Tampa, Miami, Northern Jersey,New York City, Baltimore, and the EasternShore. The programs have been variedfrom dinner-dances to addresses and "rap"sessions with alumni. All have given ournew president an opportunity to meetalumni in a wide range of locations andfrom a wide spread of classes.

Whether or not one is listening to his COl-lege president, a professor from campus,a group of singers from the Hill, or danc-

ing to the strains of some smooth combothe trick is not turned to satisfaction uri-less the alumnus Is there, and satisfied.

What is the answer to continuing analumni program in the field, resurrectinga defunct club or starting a new one?Leadership is the primary requirement anddelegation of responsibility follows in closeorder. No one volunteer leader should beoverb~rdened. Once the leadership isestablished, program and project follow.Programs must appeal not only to theemotio.nal and possibly hilarious side thatso detinitety exists in the membership, butalso to the sounder and more mature side.One must have such an enjoyable timethat h~ Will w~nt to return and bring otheralumni with him.

Alumni clubs must offer justification fortime involved to the alumnus, for if not, hetoo will faller and fail.

Though you read this in June, I have tosay that it's good to have gotten Christ-mas cards with family news from class-mates. Grace Brannock Smith Doughertywrites they are expecting their youngest,Tim, 20, to be married this year; Jeff, 21,is a student at New England AeronauticalInstitute; and Leila is in her first year ofteaching.

The HILL

Letter to the EditorDear Editor:

I had a visit yesterday (April 17) fromMr. Phil Myers, class of '16. Mr. Myerstook strenuous exception to the cheractert-zatlon of President Lewis, as presented inMr. Rudman's article in The HILL. As I wasMr. Rudman's only cited source, he un-loaded on me.

I may say thai I don't pose as an experton the history of the college and did notattend during the Lewis era; I recom-mended to Mr. Rudman that he interviewDr. Schofield, a much superior source fort~e latter pari of that period; whether hedid so or not, I do not know. Mr. Rudmantaped OUf long conversation, and I thinkthe ,two things he used about PresidentLew~s were among remarks I made. Dr.~ewlS was in OU( family home a number oflimes when I was in my teens and I have

~n90ew:h:~n~:~:~e P;~~d:~~nded the col-

The pO,int of Mr. Rudman's article wasnot to estimate the value to Weslern Mary-

~ae~is~fl/i;hu:le~~~ ~::nP~~~' ~~~~~d:~gm~;i

be said that I,he college would v~ry likelynot .have survived, had n nol been for Dr.LeWIS.

Mr. Myers took small offense from thereference 10 Presidenl Lewis' cool intel-le,ctual manner and his lack of rapportwith students. Though he would not haveChosen. the same words, he appeared toagre.e In principle. He said to me, "Dr.LeWIS scared the hell out 01 me, but heWas good lor me." I think this would be aralher typical statement lrom students ofthe era. It was a different era; "rapport"(a .close and sympathetic personal relation-~hlp) was relatively unimportant to leadersIn those days. Politicians didn't emphasize(during campaign months) their familiarna~es-"Dick," "Ted" (much homier thanSpiro), "Ike," etc. They didn't take lessonson how to look good on TV, nor did theyemploy Madison Avenue specialists todream up phony images. President Lewiswas doing a job at which he was enor-mously competent, and he knew it. Hisconcep~ of the job did nol include beingpals ~llh anybody-students or laculty-and bls natural disposition accentuated thisremoteness.

June, 1973

Mr. Myers' real objection was to the termStone Face as applied to Dr. Lewl~; he saidhe had never heard the expression used,and I believe him. My authority for thestatement was my father, who attendedseminary on campus during the 1890's,took courses in the college, played on thefirst football team of the college, knew thesmall stoeent body very well, and knewPresident Lewis better than most peopledid. He said the name was applied to thePresident-sometimes it was "The GreatStone Face," How universal or enduring theepithet was I have no way of knowing.

As Dr. Lewis was president for nearly 40years, I imagine fashions in names hadchanged in the more than 20 years betweenmy father and Mr. Myers. (T~e commonnickname for President Lewis In his latteryears was "Ham," a shortening of his mid-dle name; personally I prefer "SIon.eFace.") This changing fashion in names ISnot unusual. When I was a student in theearly '20's, we called President Ward "snap-per" and "terp," from a fancied resem-blance of his profile to a turtle's. When Ireturned in the '30's to teach, I heard"terp" but never "snapper," a folk-term lostin time. Professor Wills once remarked tome that students must not like him be-cause they had never given him a nick-name. We had (though I didn't tell him);he was commonly called "Puss" by stu-dents of my era, perhaps because of hiswhiskers, perhaps because "Puss Wills"sounded like puseywitlow. When I returne.dto teach in the '30's, I never heard this

name. Sic transit nicknames.As to "Stone Face" (aside from the ap-

propriateness for Dr. Lewis' handsome,granite-hewn features), I conjecture the

~~~~~ t~Oe~~:~hf;~rm a ~:~:~~~: wS~~~

lead a New England community and whoseface would resemble that of the GreatStone Face in a mountain rock formation.This is scarcely an uncomplimentary ref-erence and it certainly is a true one. Dr.Lewis was the savior of the college in its

most difficult years.John D. MakoskyDean of the Faculty

TRUMPETERSKendall Faulkner, president of the '72-

'73 Trumpeters, says that they "would liketo express our sincere thanks to all Trum-peter alumnae who responded so gener-ously 10 the collection for Dr. Royer's 're-tirement' gill." Tapping for the '73-'74Trumpeters was held on Tuesday, May 15,and the Trumpeters chose the opportunityto make their presentation. Dr. Royer re-ceived a pewter tray engraved as toucws:Dr. Isabel T. Royer, With Fondest Memoriesand Deepest Appreciation, 1950-1973 Trum-

peters.A contribution was made in Dr, Royer's

name to the Harwell P. Sturdivant Fund.Dr. Sturdivant has retired as head of thebiology department and the fund will beused to make an award to the graduatingbIology major who best exemplifies the!deals and character of Dr. Sturdivant. Ken-dall says that the best wishes of all whomade the presentation possible werepassed on to Dr. Royer who was surprisedand deeply touched.

Kendall also wants to pass on thethanks from Dr. Royer to everyone whoparticipated in the remembrance. Dr. Royertold the Trumpeters they have been a verymeaningful part of her life at Western Mary-land College and that she will miss thehappiness of her long association withthe organization. Kendall says, again, "wewould like to thank everyone who made itposs.ible for us to honor Dr. Royer, as sheso richly deserves to be."

OutdoorCommencement

Novelist John Barth called for intelli-gent despisal 01 corporate capitalism atWestern Maryland College's commence-ment ceremonies on Sunday, June 3.

Speaking primarily to the 237 recipients01 baccalaureate degrees, the author saidthat corporate capitalism is the "principalvillain, and I hope you graduates will havethe good sense to despise it intelligentlyfor its large share in the frustration of youreconomic and political lives... " The na-tive of Maryland told them that governmentis an accomplice to crimes of pollution,cheapening of the' quality of life, and cor-ruption of institutions. But Barth felt thatsince government is a public trust, "wemay properly judge the aCcomplice in thiscase more guilty than the originator of thecrime. This is What I mean by despisingintelligently."'

Responding to those who feel that largeCorporations are blameless because theiractions are like such natural forces as fireor Ilocd, Barth said that they make humandecisions and are therefore accountable.They are like natUral forces, he added, inthat they feel more responsible fQr profitthan people, just as fires do not care whomthey burn.

The prize-Winning novelist told the grad-uates and their families and friends thatthe choice is to find a substitute for fire,"that is, to nationalize any Corporate inter-ests large enough to be dangerous or evendeleterious to our lives.... " He pointed outIhat a change in political parties will nothelp the c~ming class .of 1977 as long asnational pnoritles remain unchanged.

Barth said that the graduates, havingbeen exocseo to activities of the '60's onU'. S. campuses, are more potitically con-SCIOUSand had more POwerOVertheir aca-demic lives than former students. He toldthem SOCiety will not s've them suchPOwer.But the novelist felt that the loss of~olitical i~nocence might be a good thing.... ~ou II ~ery likely stili be rObbed," he

to!d his a~dlence, "but at least you Won'tmls.take highway robbery for voluntary do.nation ... perhaps there will be enoughof YOU-of US~to Commence to somethingbey.ond mere Intelligent despisal and the~~~~see;."of liberal commencement ad.

The Open-air ceremony was held on theCollege campus at two o'clock in the after.noon". Those receiving bachelor degreesw_e~eJOinedby 38 Master of Education re-CIpients and three who were awarded hen-orary doctorates. Dr. Ralph C. John, prest-dent,presided.

A YEAR OF TRANSITION1972-73

IntroductionThe annual meeting of the Board

of Trustees is held, in accordancewith the Fundamental Ordinancesof the college, on "the third Fridayin April in each and every year." Itis customary that the president sub-mit his annual report at this time.Since all the constituencies of

t~e college, have a natural, andrightful, interest in most of the top-!cs cov?red in this presentation, itIS published here-in necessarilyabbreviated form - for all whomight be interested.

This has been a year of transitionbetween two presidents-one whohad served the college with singu-lar distinction for 25 years and anew one who came to follow as hissuccessor. This always creates un-certainties, because of new internalalignments (even when one at-tempts to avoid such), variations ofa?ministrative style, and theoreticalditferencss that relate to perspec-tives, values, and educational goals.

From all indications the transi-tion tn this instance has been nei-ther difficult nor disruptive. This iscreditable primartly to the prepara-tion that had been made for thechange, and the spirit in which ithas been accepted by members ofthe WMC community.

The Long Range Plan

The Long Range Planning Com-mittee, created by the Board in1969, . has performed a truly out-standing service in the careful de-velopment of an 'institutional planfor the decade of the 1970's. Whilemost of the work had been doneOver the previous 1B months, theplan was approved as a system ofgeneral guidelines in October

~~7a~'d~~ ~r~~e~~~ faculty and th~

, A nUm'ber of the recommenda_tl~ns have either been accom-plished or are in progress:

1. An architect (Christie, Nilesand Andrews of Towson) hasbeen engaged to execute a

pages/x

comprehensive plan for thephysical lay-out and the de-velopment of the campus.

2. Dr. Earl McGrath has com-pleted an organizational/man-agement study that is in thehands of the chairman of theBoard and the president ofthe college.

3. Staf compensation and bene-fits have been significantly im-proved.

4. Endowment and permanentfund accounts have been in-creased by more than $1 mil-lion during the year, 1972-73.

5. Preliminary planning is underway for a new residence cen-ter.

The new residence center is anecessity, if we are to achieve themodest enrollment growth (1,250 by1976) that seems desirable-andpossible.

The L:ong Range Planning Com-mittee has been continued as asubcommittee of the DevelopmentCommittee of the Board.

On Governance

Academic governance has beenone of the live questions in recentyears. New arrangements havebeen emerging in many, if not most,colleges and universities.

The faculty has voted, and pre-liminarily implemented, a stream-lined organizational pattern, whichreduces committees from 26 to 9.There are built-in structures in-tended to improve internal com-munication between faculty, stu-dents, and administration.

Student government is I i v i n gthrough the same frequently agon-izing process of self-study, An AII-College Council, a unicameral bodymade up of students, faculty, andadministrators, has been organized.It will have responsibility for severalareas involving all those who liveand work on the Hill. Furthermore,a significant reorganization of theadministration has been undertakenwith several new appointments in

the academic and development

areas.

limited number of instances wherethere have been questions aboutan individual's promise for long-time usefulness as a member of thefaculty of the college. Normal attri-tion consequent to mobility, retire-ment, and failure to meet formalstandards functioned to keep thepercentage of faculty on tenure ata reasonable level-SO% or so.

Now, however, there is almostzero mobility, primarily because ofthe job market. The numericalbulge is a massive one and in theranges of young faculty, most ofwhom shall shortly become eligiblefor tenure. These not atypica1!ywant it, indeed expect it, for jobsecurity, if for no other reasons.

Any moves that are made on thetenure policy-if any-must behandled carefully, and for the rightreasons.

Furthermore, a provision of theTax Reform Act of 1969 has begunto function in our favor, throughthe generosity of very s pee i a Ifriends. The reference is to charita-ble remainder unitrusts, which ingeneral resemble the more familiarpattern of the life annuity-with dif-ferences. Unitrusts have been writ-ten in the amount of $291,250.

There is another $60,000 com-mitment, pledged by one of the col-lege's most distinguished alumni(Who demands to remain anony-mous), which gift is to be paid inequal increments over the next sixyears.

There is much unworked terri:'t?ry for WMC in the developmentfield. This is particularly true in thearea at annual funds (community

August, 1973

and parent, for example), federalgrants, and foundation relations.We need to organize to claim morefrom these sources.

To help accomplish this, and topull the whole administrative areaat college relations together, aVice-President for Development hasbeen appointed for 1973-74. He isJames F. Ridenour, who will join uson July 1, 1973, from Illinois Wes-leyan University.

The administration, the trustees,and all those committed to the col-lege need to "gear up" to accom-plish the objectives we have estab-lished for ourselves.

Educational ProgramThe educational program is a

solid one, and withal conservativein its basic design. It is classicallyliberal arts at the undergraduatelevel with evidences of deliberatecaution relative to any threat ortaint of professionalism, a positionwhich may be difficult to maintainwith the same degree of purism inthe future.

The graduate program, on theother hand, and paradoxically, isentirely professional in the sensethat the Master of Education is theone degree awarded. It serves pub-lic school teaohers at the secon-dary level. Enrollments are strong,and the offering impressively car-ries itself by any cost accountingstandard.

Two hundred and thirty-four un-dergraduate degrees were award.edat the Commencement ceremonieson June 3,1973, along with 38 Mas-ter of Education degrees.

The retirement of Dr. John D.Makosky, Professor of English andDean of Faculty, demands to benoted. His great influence and ser-vice-c-as a student, teacher, andadrnlntstrator-r-are well known. Wehave been fortunate to name as hissuccessor Dr. William McCormick,Jr Professor and Associate Dean,wiiliam and Mary College. We wishboth well.

Pressure PointsThe special requiremenis of the

college need to be kept In mind. Aplacement counsel?r a~d .a testingspecialist are high In priority as we

anticipate the budget of 1974-7S.This deficiency is underscored inthe long range plan.

In the capital development areaapart from the residence center al-ready cited, it increasingly is im-possible to improvise around ourlimited physical education and stu-dent center facilities. These are pri-ority projects for the near future.

Financial Health and Resources

The budget, 1972-73, was $5.03million. Approximately 60% of thistotal was budgeted against tuitionand fee income. The remainder wasgenerated from endowment, giftsand grants, and various student aidprograms.

The book value of the endow-ment and other permanent funds is$4.5 million. The replacement valueof the physical plant, excludingland, is approximately $22 million.While no formal appraisal has beenmade, the worth of the land onwhich the college is built is esti-mated at $.S million, a conspicu-ously conservative figure.

Western Maryland College is in asolid position financially. This is acondition to be coveted, and pro-tected, in looking to the future.

In Appreciation

This annual report is my first asthe president of Western MarylandCollege. Hence it represents a dif-ference in a number of registersin the personal and professionalexperience of the family presentlyensconced in the President's Home.The year has been pleasant and ful-filling~exceeding in fact what wewere able to anticipate.

Colleagues have been resilientin the process of finding a new waywith a different person in the frontoffice. This has not always beeneasy, I am sure, but patience anda steady commitment have keptevidences of serious frustrationsublimated.

Then-best of all-there are oldfriends and new ones. We are en-riched by the privilege of becominga part of the WMC community.

Alumni Association

by Philip E. Uhrig

More than 500 people returned forAlumni Day and commencement activitiesthis year. One could stretch the figure anadditional 100 or so, for it is difficult tobe specific despite registrations and ad-vance reservations. Not all attend set tunc-trcns and many, who come for reunion ac-tivities only, fall to register at the alumniheadquarters. Regardless, this periodseemed particularly well populated and avaried program was provided.

Friday afternoon's annual alumni-facultygolf tournament attracted over 36 golfers,most of whom finished the prescribed 18holes. I,' was a beautiful day, a bit on thewarm Side as those who climbed the moun-tain goat sixth and eighth holes can attes!.

Tillis! was veteran Dick Brawley with alow gross of 74 (39·35) on the par 70course. Howe'ler, he had contenders. RIrc~n! graduate Roger Young was right onhis heels and tccx high net honors withCarl Sturgill only one stroke off the pace.Edith Armacost Ernest had low gross forthe distaff side, there being no separatecontest for the ladles because a ModifiedCalloway System was used.

Brawley also took long ball honors onthe sun·baked, wind-blown 610-yard fifthhole, While Doug Rinehart was closest tothe pin on number three. Incidentally, DickBrawley has won a sufficient number oftimes in the last few years to put togetherat least half a dinner set of pewter butterdishes. We had many people to thank forthe success of the tourney: especially GregGetty, golf coach; Bobby Erb, who madet.he pairings and ran the show; Press Ying'ling and Sterling Groft, for having theCourse In such magnificent condition; andS.lo.ney Willis, for Supervising all and pro-Viding caddies.

Saturday morning, about 26 alurrmt andfaculty tennis enthusiasts took to the col-lege courts for an open doubles touma-ment run by Ron Jones, tennis coach, andby Jerry Clark, director of annual funds. Ina do.uble elimination, Jim and Caryl JeanneLewIS paired to win the trophy. Golly, Whata marvelous husband and wife team effort.As you know, Jim is president of the Balli.more Alumni Club and Caryl Is the daugh-ter of Dr. and Mrs. Lowell S. Ensor.

Whlle these athletic activities were inprogress, other alumni were gathering onthe HIli from many areas. Some roomed In!he dorms, took meals In the college din-Ing room, and attended a variety of pro-grams centered on reunion, relaxation, con-versation, and information. There wereme~tings, luncheons, cocktail parties, mini.anllque cars on display at Harrison House,the reception for returning alumni, and theannual alumni banquet.

Dr. and Mrs. John were special guestsof the classes of 1923 and 1963 and man-aged to make the circuit of aU reunionclass functions.

Not all alumni stayed for the banquet

which drew almost 400 people. Those whoattended heard Dr. John's address and lis-tened to reports from Robert E. Bricker,alumni president, and John O. Seiland,alumni fund committee chairman, who toldof strong alumni support on all fronts.

The assemblage had an opportunity tocongratulate award winners, listen to classcheers, and witness the roll call of classes.All seemed to have had a marvelous time.Most found it difficult to believe five yearshad passed since the last reunion.

Meritorious Service Award winners were:William E. Beatty, '40, and Homer C. Earll,'50. They received this special recognitionfor "rendering outstanding service to theAlumni Association through faithful andcontinued devotion of time and effort, andfor expanding the usefulness, influence andprestige" of the College.

Both men had been instrumental In cre-ating and leading alumni clubs In their re-spective geographicat areas: in New En-gland and in Western New York slate. Bothhave been strong, enthusiastic supportersand ambassadors of their alma mater, bothhave been involved in a variety of leader-ship roles. As you can Imagine, it was withgreat pleasure President Bricker presentedthe citations, and one might say with sin-gular significance that one of the recipientswas his immediate predecessor in the roleof alumni chief executive.

As you look around these pages, you willsee familiar faces representing reunionyears. II is with particutar pride that wepresent those of Paul Warner and FredHolloway of the Class of 1918. What ap-pears to be a confrontation between thesetwo gentlemen is actually the high pointin the rendition ot their "Classical Yell"presented by special request. They werein excellent voice and buoyant spirits.

You know these class yells of tormeryears are a cherished bit of the characterof an era. They represent a part of the tra-dition which is lading. In fact the Roll Callis almost a part 01 the past. But for those

REFLECTIONS

In closing out the year of alumni activity,I would like to take a few lines to makesome observations which seem fitting. Onemight say the year never closes before an-

other makes Its appearance.' The perpe-tuity of Ihe program results from continuityof plans on the drawing board, in the lest-ing stages, and on through 10 accomplish_ments of goals. This may sound too styl-ized, or perhaps a bit crass. If so, it is notIntended.

Programs are more successful if plannedwith care. Not all are winners. Degrees ofsuccess (or failure) depend on a variety ofreasons. However, one thing is certain,success Is attainable when the plan isworthy and the team Is strong.

We have had the privilege of Workingwith thousands of alumni for many yearson the Hili, and we are definitely fortunate.Too, we have had dedicated office per-sonnel and this makes the job easier. Forthe past three years, we had Ihe good tor-tune of having Gerald F. Clark, Jr., '63,working with us in the alumni program. Asyou know, Jerry has been responsible forbringing inlo fruition some new programsthe Board of Governors projected but Couldnot mount until his coming to the Hill. TheUndergraduate Relations Program is an ex-ample.

Jerry has attained stature in fund raising,too. Sensing this, Or. John created a newposition, director of annual funds whichJerry now heads. You have heard aboutthis program which includes the annualalumni fund. The past few years have seenWestern Marylanders responding to the an-nual fund with increasing vigor. Recordshave been attained and broken. To be sure,

Annual Alumni Fund-Records Are Made To Be Broken

IT IS common knowledge that for anyteam to produce superior results eachand every member must pay strict at-

tenttcn to the job. The alumni who madeup the 1973 Alumni Fund team did a superjob. For the third successive year alumniof our alma mater have established a ree-ord for annual alumni support. WesternMaryland College benefited to the sum of$123,355.00 from 3255 contributors duringthe academic year 1972-1973. These fig-ures surpass the previous high establishedthe preceding year by $16,394.00 and 424contributors.

There were many alumni, both presentand future, who gave lime and effort tothe Success of the 26th Annual AlumniFund. Under the leadership of Alleck A.Resnick, '47, National Fund Chairman, andJohn 0, Seiland, '51, Alumni Fund Com-mittee Chairman, the Alumni Fund Com-mittee planned and supervised the execu-tion of What proved to be a most effec-tive program. Actually beginning in October

by Gerald F. Clark, Jr.

with a limited number of direct appeals,the '73 Alumni Fund continually forgedahead of last year's pace. During Decem-ber and January seven Special Gifts Chair-men (Wilmer V. Bell, '30; F. Kale Mathias,'35; Benjamin A. Griffith, '42; Robert Y.Dubel, '48; Donald F. Radcliffe, '54; Albert T.Dawkins, '59; and Donald J. Hobart, '62) cor-responded with alumni of their era resultingin significant support for the college.

Seeking to maximize the personal ap-proach Class Chairmen wrote their class-mates during February seeking individualalumni participation through the class. Thisphase has been the backbone of thealumni lund for years. Alumni volunteers,Class Chairmen and Agents (numbering534),didasuperbjobofcontactlngclass_mates encouraglnq their involvement. Ofthe 53 classes so organized 92.5% ex-ceeded last year's performance in dollars,donors, or both, The results are a clearindication of how good a job they did

Elegy For A Class Reunion

Reunions toll the knell of parting youth.The lowered head sees but the stiffened

knee.

Arthritis makes us realize the truth-

Thin~~ ~:~"y are not what they used

Full many an ache or pain. in you and me,Break down our etotc calm-and make

us swear.

In the evening we were guests of thecollege for the banquet In the Englar Din-Ing Room. Following the banquet, whenthe Class was recognized, Louise Sappread the following letter from "Farmer":

"Mr. President:Ladies and Gentlemen:Western Marylanders All:"I rise to announce that the Class of

1923 is back on the Hill again-after 50years.

"Since 1923, the journey to this point intime has been long and at times difficult.Many changes have taken place In thisland during these 50 years-some good-some not so good.

"To be great, spiritual and moral valuesmust keep pace with the physical im-provements.

"The Class of 1923 is proud to be West-ern Marylanders, proud of our college, andproud of her presidents-Ward, Lewis,Ward, Holloway, Ensor, and John,

"The founder had a dream, the othersmade the dream come true, and now, Dr.John, how sweet it is!

"To the Class of 1973 just beginning Itsjourney into the main stream of life, wewish Good Luck and God Speed. In thewords of Tiny Tim, 'God Bless Us, Every-one.'''

Earle Hawkins had saved leiters writtento him by his classmates during the yearsand his wife, Nita, sent them to the reunionto be given back to the writers. She gaveto the college medals won by Earle duringhis college days together with comparablemedals won by his mother at the time shewas a student at the college. Thesemedalshave been placed In the Archives Roomin the College Library. It is unique indeedto have these mother-son medals given tothe college.I! this letter does not sound like Louise,

I have information that our classmateJeanne Stevens Roberts (Mrs. Harold Rob-erts) is remarried. She is now Mrs. Jeanne

S. Hughes.In June another 01 our dedicated class-

mates retired from teaching. Kathryn(Casey) McLane Charlson (Mrs. Francis N.Charlson) retired after 40 years of teachingand she "enjoyed it all." (Thosewere'thelead lines of the half page newspaper ar-ticle sent to us by her husband.)

She beganher teaching career in Annap-oils in 1929,where she taught biology andzoology lor sevenyears. She coached fieldball and, even more Incredible, taught asex education course, which makes her areal pioneer or innovator at this earlyperiod. After these years, Casey did grad-uate work in Massachusettsand then wentto the University of Wisconsin to start ona Ph.D. She went into research as a tech-nician with Dr. Ovid Meyer, who wasdoing blood research work In leukemia atUniversity Hospitals. She got married andtook a part-time job at Children's Ortho-pedic Hospital. She later did full-time workthere teaching science, mathematics,socialstudies, and two subjects to a tilth gradegroup of patients. In 1949, the head ofChildren's Hospital retired and she wasasked to be head teacher there where sheremained until 1962when the hospital wasclosed.

After this, she began teaching fifthgraders at the Van Hlse ElementarySchool,where she has been for the past elevenyears and from which her retirement tookplace this spring, Her last fifth grade classtook a trip to the Medical Museumand puton shows 01 rocks and minerals,

When asked about teaching In today'sworld, she complained that there are toomany meetings that take you away fromteaching; and that today's children haveso many things competing for theif a~en-ticn, distracting them, such as tetevtsicn,so that there is a lack of concentration inthe classroom. However, she feels thattoday's children are more outgoing andbetter in many respects becausethey aren'tafraid to respond,

Her husband, Francis, is a retired as-sistant supervisor of building inspection.

In March of this year we learned withgreat regret that Dick Holmes had passedaway on Christmas Eve after a heart at-tack. He and his wife lived at 4218 VanBuren Street in Hyattsville, 20782.They hadthree daughters and three sons and sevengrandchildren. Dick was a veteran of WorldWar It, a colonel in the Army Reserve, andin recent years had been a program-budgetanalyst for the Department of the Army.I'm sure all of us remember Dick's happynature and warm smile. During our yearsat WMC, his sister, Ellen Holmes, '34, andhis older brother, ROTC instructor Col.Thomas Holmes (Ret.), were there. Cer-tainly we all extend our regards and sym-pathy to Mrs. Holmes, who very kindly gaveme a newspaper clipping and then a snap-shot.

Another one of our classmates has ledan extremely active life since graduation,according to a news clipping. LaMar Ben-son, a former assistant state's attorney,was appointed as Criminal AssignmentCommissioner of the Bsltimore Supreme

Bench. LaMar had 24 years of milltary andcivilian federal service, then received alaw degree from University of Maryland anda master's degree in education from Hop-kins. In his new assignment he "will beresponsible for the development of plansand procedures for the efficient schedulingof cases in Baltimore's nine Criminal Courtsections, utilizing data processing."

My very first effort on this job as secre-tary began with a large splash of postalcards to all classmates. Sometime later,by way of Western Union, came a box ofcandy and a telegram from a George Reedto the effect that wouldn't we all like tohear from our classmates. The candy wasdelicious, but since I couldn't remembera George Reed, put off a thank you noteor news mention! Too many months laterdiscovered this was (Rags) George Rys-cavage. now from Chicago. And so-a be-lated thanks and how about more commu-nication!

Various pUblications from the Hill speakof the retirement of Dr. John Makosky, '25,dean of the faculty, and of the great regardso many of his associates had for him.Many of us '35ers remember his first litera-ture classes at the college-his introduc-tion of himself and something of his familyand background. He established a quickrapport as he reported his first name andinitial-"John 0."As they say, "the better half and I,"

Casper of 1929, had the good fortune to beon the college campus for the inaugurationof WMC's new preSident, Or. Ralph John.The campus never looked better, but thewind and temperature were very uncoopera-tive. Several classmates were in attendanceand several there as members of the Boardof Trustees. Do call or write and have agood summer!
