Volume XV

Work Expected To Start Soon On New Gymnasium

Now that the Southwestern campaign in Memphis is swelling the funds available for buildings, the Building Committee has put the final touches on the plans for the long­needed gymnasium and has bids under ad­visement. It is hoped that construction may begin early in 1953.

The Neely Mallory Memorial Gymnasium is expected to cost approximately $900,000. The plans call for a basketball court and seat­ing space for over two thousand spectators, a swimming pool, courts for handball, tennis and other minor sports, as well as dressing rooms and athletic offices. The main basket­ball court will be maximum size and provision will be made for practice courts. The swim­ming pool will be a four-lane pool twenty-five meters long, approved for meets involving Olympic tryouts. It is expected to meet every need of a college of Southwestern's size at present and in the foreseeable future.

The building will be located north of the present tennis courts and northeast of fra­ternity row.

For many years a gymnasium has been one of Southwestern's most pressing needs. Upon the removal of the college from Clarksville, the present wooden structure, Fargason Field House, was erected and considered a tempor­ary expedient. It was thought that within a few year-s this "temporary" building would be succeeded by a building worthy of the cam pus architecture.

Stronger Athletic Program Will Follow

Fargason Field House has never been ad­equate to meet Southwestern's needs. The basketball court is too small, and there is spectator room for only a fraction of the student body. It has no swimming pool, no indoor tennis courts, no handball courts, in­adequate sports equipment, and insufficient room for a well-rounded program of sports.

There is no question that with a new gym­nasium much better teams in several sports will be developed. Coach Johnson expects the new structure to usher in a successful era in basketball, and is already building to that end. He hopes to bring the Southwestern team up to the point where it can play on fairly even terms with any team in the Mid­South.

When the gymnasium is a reality, swim­ming and wrestling as well as basketball are expected to become prominent parts of the inter-collegiate and intra-mural athletic pro­grams along with tennis and golf, which are being emphasized under the competent direc­tion of Coaches Derrick Barton and Pat Abbott.

Basketball Team Shows Improvement Over 1951

The Southwestern basketball team is all set for the campaign of 1952-53 with a larger squad on hand than last · season, and with a good quota of promising new material. Coach Johnson expects his squad to make marked progress during the year. As a nucleus he has four good men from last year's squad: Bennie Lamberth, a junior, Jonesboro, Arkansas; and sophomores John Maxwell, Dyersburg, Ten­nessee, Frank Horton, Charleston, West Vir­ginia, and Jerry Wood, Memphis. Charles McAllister, senior, who was not out last year but played on the team of 1950-51, is expect­ed to see a great deal of action.

Newcomers to the squad include Robert Jackson from Treadwell High School, Mem­phis; John Lawhorn, Lebanon, Kentucky; Wayland Carlisle, Dixie, Louisiana; Ronald Collins, East High, Memphis; Jimmy Carter, Nashville, Tennessee; Bob Smith, Collier­ville, Tennessee; Omar Smith, Memphis; and Frank Simonton, Humes High, Memphis.

The team faces two handicaps - lack of experience and lack of height. There are one senior and only two juniors on the squad. Seven of the thirteen available men will be freshmen. Maxwell, tallest rna~ on the squad stands at 6'3", and Jackson, McAllister, Law­horn , and Simonton are about 6'2". The rest are under six feet.

Coach Johnson has had the boys working hard since the football season ended on November 22, but has not had time to de­velop the team work that he would like.

Second Phase Of Drive For $750,000 Is On

$350,000 Has Been Raised In Memphis; Walter Chand!er Co-Heads Campaign

The second phase of the Development Fund Campaign in Memphis to secure $750,-000 for Southwestern is now under way. The first phase of the campaign was launched early this year and terminated in May, with $375,000 paid or pledged.

Walter Chandler, honorary alumnus, at­torney, and former mayor of Memphis, is co­chairman of the second phase of the drive, serving with Sidney W. Farnsworth, who heads Southwestern's Board of Directors.

Among the purposes of the money-raising effort are to obtain the last thousands needed for a new gymnasium, and to provide funds for a men's dormitory and for endowments and scholarships.

It is hoped that the two legs of the cam­paign in Memphis will net a grand total of $750,000. Of this amount, $175,000 has been set as the goal for the effort now under way and the remaining $200,000 through a gen­eral campaign in Memphis early next year.

In assuming the co-chairmanship of the drive at a luncheon at the Peabody -Hotel in late November, Mr. Chandler urged a spirited, short campaign. "We are very near the goal," he said; "the money needed to discharge the responsibility assumed by the people of Memphis is very nearly raised. We should not allow Southwestern's present needs to act as a chronic impediment in the college's path of progress."

Campaigns Planned in Churches The two-pronged drive in Memphis for

$750,000 is part of a broader campaign de­signed to bring in $1,500,000 within the next two years. In addition to M emphis' quota the cooperating synods of Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi are undertaking to raise an additional $7 50,000, and plans are well along in the four synods.

Prominent among the planners in the synods are many Southwestern alumni. As leaders in the churches, both laymen and ministers,' they are members of presbytery and synod committees to spear-head this effort.

Present plans call for the Southwestern Development Fund Campaign to be p-rojected in Louisiana in 1953 as a joint campaign with the Negro Work Campaign. In Mississippi the Southwestern Campaign will get under way late in 1953, after the Negro Work Campaign is completed. In Tennessee the two campaigns in 1953 will be conducted at the same time, while in Alabama · South­western's campaign will follow the Negro Work Campaign.

Contributors to the 1952 Southwestern Alumni Fund Contributions to the Alumni Fund have been made by the following Southwestern Alumni through December 12, 1952. The Fund includes such projects as Living Endowment, Neely Mallory Memorial Gymnasium, Scholarship Fund, and miscellaneous funds. It is hoped that many more alumni will send in gifts before the books are closed at the end of the year.

"Jasper" Wood, '41, Herbert ]. Bingham, '39, Eliza­beth Williams Cooper, '30, Mary Jane Mil­lard Oglesby, x'51, Sam Fudge, '48, and Meredith Flautt, x'45.

Special guests for the dinner meeting were Denby Brandon, '50, and Julian Nail, '43, who drove up to Nashville from Memphis to meet with the group. Other guests at the meeting were Mr. and Mrs. John T. McCall, Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. Harwell, Dr. Arm­ond Currie, pastor of Westminister Church, and Mrs. Currie.

Pictured above at the organization meeting of the alumni of Southwestern living in the Nashville area are, seated, left to right: Mrs. William P. Murphy (Joy Upshaw '49), Mrs. R. B. Eleazer, Mrs. M. Davis McCord, Mrs. Harry Moore (June Bostick '43), Mrs. A. Q. Campbell (Dorothy Schoolfield '35), Jack Vincent '50, Mrs. J. W. Wood; standing, William P. Murphy '41, R. B.

Cooper (Elizabeth Wil­liams '30), and J. W. Wood '41.

Officers of the Nashville Alumni Chap­ter elected at the meeting are as follows : ]. W. ("Jasper") Wood, '41, president; The Rev. Samuel R. Fudge, '48, vice-president; June Bostick Moore, '43, secretary. Other of­ficers are Elizabeth Williams Cooper, '30, publicity chairman, and Herbert ]. Bingham, '39, program chairman. As the need arises, other appointments will be made.

Photographer's Report on Homecoming, November 1: The fraternity-sorority lawn displays were never before so good. Sigma Nu and Pi K A were declared winners among the frats, and A 0 Pi and K D among the sororities. To show how good these exhibits were, we show two of the also-rans'-the A T 0 Stairway to the Stars featuring a Lynxcat driving a jeep upward toward football stardom, and the S A E "We're Expecting" display, featuring a diaper-line bearing the names of the membership who play football. The idea was that "We're Expecting" these sons to beat Sewanee. (The winning displays were difficult to photograph adequately.)

Sewanee won success on the field, but the Homecomers scored heavily in the stands. We show here several views of these spectators. Look closely and you will be able to pick out some of your classmates. Several hundred alumni are shown here.

The two lower pictures are shots of tables at the Men of Memphis Dinner Dance, October 25. About 225 alumni attended. Shown at left are Elder Shearon, '42, Mrs. Charles M. Crump (Diana Wallace, x'43), and Mr. Crump, '34. At right on the far side of the table are Virginia Mangum Tate, '40, Alvan Tate, x'35, Evelyn Hester Perry, x'37, Julia Marie Schwinn Ries, '34, and Russell Perry, '33. On this side are Bob, '37, and Betty Hunt Armstrong, x'38.
