Academics

If there was any communications gap in academics during 1968-69, it certainly was not due to a lack of observation. In fact, people took a rather anxious look at the state of the University.

In the administration, former President Elvis Stahr moved to the Audobon presidency, Interim President Herman B Wells exhibited nostalgic views of the past and constant, hopeful peeks for the appearance of his successor. President Joseph L. Sutton seemed to station himself with one eye on the campus and the other on the state legislature and the University budget.

After joining the I.U. faculty as an instructor of government in 1953, advancements came steadily to Dr. Sutton. In 1954, he became an assistant professor, in 1956, an associate professor, and after serving as associate dean of the college of Arts and Sciences, he was appointed Jean of the College in 1965. One year later, he became Vice President and Dean of Faculties.

Dr. Sutton, who hopes to maintain a close relationship with students, is an expert on foreign affairs, particularly on the world's current trouble spot—Southeast Asia. Dr. Sutton earned his A.B. in Oriental languages, his A.M. in Japanese studies, and his Ph.D. in political sciences, all from the University of Michigan.

The communication gap between students and faculty was slowly closing this year. Student groups demonstrated, the Faculty Council opened its meetings, and faculty and student advisory committees were formed and began to function.

Both faculty members and students played leading roles in achieving better communication. Acting as liaison, Dean of Students Robert H. Shaffer said he interprets "The views of the administration to the students, the students' views to the administration, and explain the whole business to the public." Robert Klawitter, assistant professor of English, described student and faculty government as being based on "mutual fear." Klawitter called for "people, not faculty, not students" to make decisions concerning University life.

"Take a prof home to dinner" became the motto of many sorority and fraternity houses and dormitories this year as housing units entertained faculty members for dinner. The programs were started in an attempt to draw faculty and students closer together in a large university—to help them get to know each other as people rather than social security numbers on IBM tests or hosts of televised lectures. The inevitable accident —calling a professor by his nickname or flipping a piece of meat across the table—served to remind students and faculty alike that each was only human.

Aware of many shortcomings in their various departments, students are assuming a more definite voice in determining their curricula. Most departments on campus have established student advisory committees to meet with faculty members to discuss problems and recommend possible changes in courses. The College of Arts and Sciences has even proposed allowing students to determine their own requirements with the approval of the College. Faculty-student-administration relations are becoming more complex as the three work together to operate and improve I.U.

Students' active involvement also extends to concerns outside the university. Replacing the apathetic College Joe and Cathy Coed of the '50's, today's student is interested in Civil Rights, the war in Viet Nam, and poverty programs.

The search for a new I.U. president ended November 15 when Dr. Joseph L. Sutton, Vice President and Dean of the Faculties for two years, was named chief administrator at a meeting of the Board of Trustees. Dr. Sutton, who formerly served as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and a member of the I.U. faculty for fifteen years, became the thirtieth president of Indiana University. He succeeded Elvis J. Stahr who resigned September I, 1968.

On December 1, Dr. Sutton assumed the duties of the presidency replacing Chancellor Herman B Wells who had served as interim president since Dr. Stahr's resignation. A selected committee headed by William R. Breneman and composed of four trustees, seven faculty members, and one student, Student Body President Ted Najam, helped to choose the new head of the university.

During his administration, Dr. Sutton faces such issues as university planning and reorganization, the open guest hours plan, student dissenters, the academic budget, and the role of students and faculty in forming administrative policies.

This was a year of reorganization with the appointment of a new president and the attempt to streamline the administration. Studies showed how to best fit the four vice presidents and their departments into the new chancellor-oriented administration of I.U.'s eight campuses. A fifth vice-president, John Ryan, who was in charge of regional campuses was added temporarily.

Dean Joseph R. Hartley, who was appointed Acting Dean of Faculties in November, 1968, oversaw the academic portion of the university. Dean Joseph A. Franklin managed the business aspects of the university such as new construction, the physical plant, nonacademic personnel, and the operation of the Union Bookstore.

Programs such as the Foster Project, the Arts College reorganization, the honors programs, and health service were included in the responsibilities of Dean John W. Snyder, who headed the Department of Undergraduate Development. Dean Lynne L. Merritt, Jr. directed faculty research, advanced studies and international affairs. Vice-Presidents

The I.U. Board of Trustees, which assumes responsibilities for all operations of the University, is comprised of eight persons, five of whom are appointed by the Governor of Indiana and three of whom are elected by I.U. alumni. Adopting regulations governing students, contracting faculty and other personnel, and organizing the curriculum are duties of the Trustees.

In 1968, the most important of their responsibilities was selecting a president, the chief liaison between the Board of Trustees and the University. November 15, 1968, the Trustees announced the appointment of Joseph L. Sutton as President of I.U.

The Trustees meet with two Vice Presidents and the President of I.U. Seated around the table, left to right, are Joseph R. Hartley, Vice Pres., Mrs. Richard G. lnskeep, Donald C. Danielson, Robert A.

Chancellor Wells

"One of the easiest things in the world is to say 'no' to change; one of the hardest, to provide for its reasoned and orderly occurrence," said Chancellor and Interim President Herman B Wells in his State of the University Address October 10, 1968.

Dr. Wells has years of experience in organizing for change and expansion. He was professor of economics and later Dean of the School of Business before becoming Acting President of I.U. in 1937. The following year, Dr. Wells was appointed President and served in that office for twenty-five years. In 1962, he resigned and was appointed Chancellor and President of I.U. Foundation. Dr. Wells was the first person in I.U.'s history to hold the academic title of chancellor. After Dr. Elvis Stahr resigned, Chancellor Wells stepped back into his former office as Interim President, until Dr. Joseph Sutton assumed the office December 1, 1968.

Chancellor Wells has maintained personal involvement with the university throughout his years of service. Keeping his fingers on the pulse of I.U., he mingles with students at The Gables and keeps his office open to all visitors.

The Indiana University Foundation has increasingly focused its attention on the sponsorship and supervision of University research programs. Such programs are made possible through grants and contracts made through the Foundation by government agencies, business, and industry. These programs made I.U. one of the country's leading research and international activities centers.

Almost every aspect of the University has benefited through the Foundation. The initial purpose of this independent, nonprofit corporation when it was chartered in 1936 was to provide a channel for alumni gifts to the University. From these gifts the Foundation provides scholarships, supports athletic and cultural events, finances buildings, and obtains rare books and art treasures.

A most popular program of the organization is the sponsorship of "Little 500 Weekend." This affair, hailed as the "World's Greatest College Weekend", raised money to provide more than 200 scholarships for students working their way through school.

With his pipe and a cup of coffee to keep him company, Frank Jones considers his responsibilities as Chairman of the Homecoming and Commencement Committees.

Alumni Office

The Indiana University Alumni Association, organized in 1854, is one of the oldest in the country. It has a membership of over 174,000, half of whom are actual graduates of the University. The Association works to keep all alumni informed of what is happening at the University. It is also interested in the opinions of the alumni, and conveys these feelings to University officials.

Present Secretary of the Alumni Association Frank Jones was appointed in May of 1968. Before that time he worked as an assistant secretary. The man who was secretary before him, Claude Rich, resigned to become director of the 1970 Sesquicentennial Celebration. Besides his position as Alumni Secretary, Mr. Jones was chairman of both the Homecoming Committee and the Commencement Committee this year.

The Alumni Association participates in many activities on campus. The Homecoming celebration and the Founder's Day ceremony are its two major events. This year the Association worked with the Inter-Residence Halls Association, the Panhellenic Council, and the Inter-fraternity Council on the decoration of the different dorms, houses, and buildings.

The Association also sponsors Alumni Clubs throughout the United States and oversees all the Alumni clubs of the different schools. In addition, the Association partially finances instructional trips made by members of the University faculty to other teaching institutes. Because of its comprehensive excellence in alumni programming, the Indiana University Alumni Association has received the Alumni Administration Award in past years.

Director George Olsen takes time out to consider the effects that the trend toward apartment living has had on the university housing residents.

Halls of Residence

"Room for all" was the welcoming feeling of the Halls of Residence this year. Greeting the students was the recently completed Eigenmann Hall, the new graduate residence center.

In contrast to the overcrowding of the Fall of 1967, the Halls of Residence adequately housed all students last year. The construction of Eigenmann Hall, the exodus to apartments and the growth of regional campuses all affected this change of situations.

However, as the director of Halls of Residence, George Olsen, stated, "College isn't just the classroom." Following this line of thinking, Director Olsen attended a conference of the National Association of College and University Offices. The theme of the conference was "Involvement"—the places to get involved were the residence centers.

Immunizations . . . physiotherapy . . . x-rays . . . Sound like a med school lecture? Its all in a day's work for the staff at the Health Center. Although understaffed with only eleven physicians, the Center did manage to contain and mend the students' sniffles, coughs, and occasional broken bones. The Health Center staff was aided by three psychiatrists, two social psychiatrists, two resident psychiatrists from the medical school, a clinical psychologist, and a newly-appointed physical therapist. Some graduate students and externs in medicine provided additional assistance.

Services offered by the Health Center included a cold clinic, mental health consultation, physical therapy, free flu shots, and twenty-four hour emergency service.

Dr. John M. Miller, M.D., director of the Health Center, is especially busy during the fall when many students are victims of colds, coughs, and sore throats.

H. H. Brooks, standing in front of the Physical Plant, looks toward the campus buildings for which he is responsible for maintaining.

Physical Plant

The Physical Plant was responsible for the management of over 71 million dollars to be used for construction and remodeling of thirty University projects. New structures either begun or completed include the new library, the Assembly Hall, the Musical Arts Center, the School for the Mentally Retarded, and a food storage plant. Goodbody Hall and Myers Hall were renovated; a new air conditioning system was installed in the Law Building; the Auditorium was furnished with a new organ; the television station was equipped with electrical utilities, and Foster Quad's sidewalks were repaved.

The Medical Center at the Indianapolis regional campus was allocated twenty million dollars for construction while Fort Wayne, Kokomo, and Gary campuses initiated building programs totaling three million dollars.

Two major systems at the Bloomington campus were instituted —a remote control system that will monitor all mechanical and electrical facilities in every University building and an emergency phone network with lines to local fire and safety departments. 124

The brilliant green of the football field on October's crisp, autumn days was not by coincidence, but by the supervision and management of I.U.'s Athletic Administration. Duties of the individual officials ranged from the Business Manager's preparing of formal contracts with other teams to the Athletic Director's acting as official host to all visiting coaches and teams. The Administration set up schedules of athletic events and kept the public informed of their athletic activities. Informing the public of the I.U. sports program, supervising the publication of articles and pictures, and overseeing broadcasts by radio and television were additional responsibilities of the administrative personnel, as well as maintaining precise statistical records of all athletic events. The members of the Administration also oversaw the recruitment of high school athletes, administered financial aid, and kept close contact with the high school coaches and athletic directors.

Sensitive to opinions of students and their parents, Dean Robert Shaffer is busy dealing with reactions to the open visitation policy.

Student Personnel

If the theme for open visitation was "Let's Get Together," then the Dean of Students, Robert Schaffer, was choirmaster. The chorus that he wrote said, "The University does not intend to be a babysitter." Events proved this to be an "idee fixe" of the 196869 school year and not just a passing ditty.

With the abolition of women's hours and approved housing, many occasions that formerly would have resulted in a personal confrontation with the Dean of Students became nonlegal, nonmoral facts of everyday living. Students, with brains reeling from the streets of Chicago or from the TV screens and magazine photographs of the political conventions, returned to campus searching for intellectual or physical action. The administration worried about possible confrontations and demonstrations. The Student Personnel Office fretted, too, but saw, in all of the rhetoric and activities, signs of responsibility at I. U.

Providing an interpretation of Indiana University, the University Relations Office communicated campus news and activities to the general public. Maintaining offices at the regional campuses in Gary, South Bend, and Indianapolis, as well as in Bloomington, the PR office gathered information helpful to departments, schools, and individuals of the university.

I. U.'s News Bureau released information about activities and events of campus life via hometown and national newspapers, radio, and television. To reflect the attitudes of the student, advice was sought in creating publications of activities. The PR office also provided news reporting workshops for the publicity chairmen of University clubs and organizations.

Faced with the task of covering university publicity across the state and nation are news bureau executives John Newland, Managing Editor; Earl Hoff, Editor, and Bernard Clayton, Business Manager.

The language labs give each student the opportunity to listen to and to correct the mistakes in his pronunciation of foreign phrases.

By conducting controlled experiments on various animals, psychology students can learn to recognize an animal's reaction to specific living conditions.

Arts and Sciences

Using lab facilities, solving equations, attending large group lectures or small discussion seminars, experimenting, observing, participating . . . the College of Arts and Sciences provided the students with a large and varied curriculum of natural and physical sciences, history, and literature. Around 1820, the College offered Greek and Latin as its only studies. Today it includes forty departments and nine interdepartmental programs. A new addition this year was a program on Afro-American studies.

Having the largest student enrollment and a larger faculty than any other department, the College of Arts and Sciences, under the direction of Dean Byrum E. Carter, may be considered the center of Indiana University. Most students find a large percentage of their classes in this academic division for it comprises 80% of the courses taught on campus. The College can also boast that 82% of its professors are recipients of Doctorate degrees or are distinguished faculty members.

In the 1968-1969 school year, over 6,000 students were enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences, and this number is increasing each year. Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Sciences degrees were issued to 1,697 graduates at the June and September, 1968 graduation ceremonies.

Who says studying is tedious? This couple in the Business Library know the way to make studying fun— together.

Business

The School of Business has broad international teaching and counseling responsibilities. Indiana University co-operated with the Ford Foundation and Ljubljana University; the National Institute of Development Administration in Bangkok, Thailand; and the Institute of Business Administration at Dacca University in East Pakistan last year. Students and professors also distinguished the School through academic excellence and leadership in the University. Faculty members published 16 major books and more than 90 articles, book reviews and contributions to books.

The School provides instruction rooted in a tradition of scholarship, yet encourages the generation of new concepts. In April the School of Business and alumni sponsored the Annual Business Conference which presented timely concepts in many areas of the business world.

The School of Business, now embracing six departments and eight areas of specialization, was established in 1920 as the School of Commerce and Finance. 1927 brought the institution of Master of Business Administration and Doctor of Business Administration degrees. In 1962-1963, in cooperation with the regional campuses, the School of Business initiated a certified two year program. Looking toward the future, IU's School of Business is already planning its Golden Anniversary Celebration in 1970.

The student teaching program benefits both the student teacher and the children. While the children in her class receive extra attention, the I.U. student is able to apply the knowledge she has gained in education classes.

This year the School of Education recognized students in administrative decisions and in actual teaching assignments. By encouraging education majors to become involved and interested, the faculty trained more qualified teachers.

Two student representatives were appointed to the School of Education policy council. These representatives, chosen from the student advisory groups, attended the meetings and worked directly with the administration. Through these meetings, students learned about the regulations and current rules first hand.

Appointed students read and evaluated Student National Education Association bulletins before they were printed. In this way, the faculty discovered whether or not the students really understood the administration's ideas. Any section difficult to understand was rewritten. Student proof-reading assured the administration that ideas were presented without ambiguities.

Again, Encore and Team Teaching programs were an integral part of teacher preparation. Actual teaching in addition to the classwork clarified the purpose of methods courses. Psychology and education courses were also put to practical use by student teachers in the public schools of Bloomington.

The Education Library proves to be a popular place to study for this couple. The room is almost always packed as education students read the materials put on closed reserve by their professors.

Under the direction of Dean David Clark, the expanding School of Education awarded teachers' certificates for the first time from the Kokomo Regional Campus.

The School of Music under the direction of Dean Wilfred C. Bain for the twenty-second year presented more doctorates to its graduates than any other musical institution, proving to some extent that I.U.'s School of Music was one of the largest in the nation.

The School of Music provided a large portion of campus entertainment. The faculty of 138 full- and .part-time instructors— many of which were internationally recognized artists—and the approximately 1,500 students majoring in music presented nearly 600 performances last year. Musical productions included operas, such as The Marriage of Figaro by Mozart and La Traviata by Verdi, and lighter musical theater performances, such as 110° in the Shade and The Boys from Syracuse.

The band department of the School of Music supported a similar range of study, including bands ranging from "The Marching Hundred" to concert bands. For the four hundred students participating in the orchestra program, balance was achieved by equating the quality level of the three concert orchestras.

Still another aspect of musical production was promoted by the ballet department which presented ballets including "An Evening of Ballet", "The Nutcracker Ballet", and "Cinderella". Variety, balance, and quality have characterized the curriculum of I.U.'s ever-expanding School of Music.

Daily practice coaxes music from the delicate strings of the harp.

Badminton was only one of the twenty-two sports offered to freshman women this year. Recreation night conducted by the School of HPER allows interested students and faculty members a chance to maintain top physical shape.

Like sports? . . . Then look into the School of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation. Required HPER courses, intramural activities, and special sports clubs were open to all students interested in health, sports, and recreational fields. Two semesters of HPER provided basic instruction for over 6,000 freshmen last year. In addition to these courses, undergraduate men and women interested in the field of sports elected a limited number of physical education courses for academic credit.

A wide scope of electives enabled I.U. to offer a more complex field of study. Dean John R. Endwright headed the School of HPER, which is comprised of seven departments—the Departments of Physical Education for Men, Physical Education for Women, Health and Safety Education, Recreation and Park Administration, Athletic Professional Training, the Normal College of the American Gymnastic Union, and the Graduate School. For the first time this year, graduate students in HPER were able to earn a Ph.D. in human performance.

Dean John R. Endwright co-ordinates all HPER programs including freshman classes, courses for majors, and intramural activities.

Clasping his hands in thought, Dean William B. Harvey ponders changes in the Law School suggested by the Board of Student Advisors.

"Traditional, yet somewhat different" was the aim of the new innovations in the School of Law this year. A reflective re-examination technique encouraged the methods of the School to keep pace with changes in the demands of society.

Faculty and students began renovations by attacking the enemy of change—the success of the traditional methods. The Law School administration not only allowed student involvement in these changes, but welcomed it. The Board of Student Advisors, comprised of selected representatives, related student views to the administration officers.

The Student Bar Association and two law fraternities, which were social as well as educational, presented programs designed to orient students to their future legal careers.

Due to the rising number of young men fulfilling their military obligations, recruitment through the School of Law placement service was greater this year. Competition for interview dates was keen as prospective employers vied for the top students. Representatives of law firms, governmental agencies, banks, and corporate legal staffs met with seniors and alumni seeking changes of employment. The placement service also assisted firms in securing summer clerkships for second and third year students.

The law annex often provides a welcome relief from the tedious studies which usually confront law students.

Students selected from the top 15% of the School of Law compose the staff of the Indiana Law Journal. These students edit and compile articles written by faculty members of both I.U. and other schools of law and by outstanding students.

The Optometry Division of I.U. petitioned to become a school in 1968. The growing enrollment, increasing number of faculty, and completion of the new optometry building initiated the change from a College of Arts and Sciences division to a separate school. Last year, 195'students enrolled in the optometry program, and, due to the expanded program of the six-year course, the first Doctor of Optometry degrees were awarded in June.

For two years, pre-optometry students take courses similar to those required for pre-medical, pre-dentistry, and nursing students. They spend the final four years in optometrical studies and working with patients under supervised training.

Most faculty members are involved in research carried on through grants from the military, federal government, and various foundations and health services. The division is considered a leading research center for visual problems related to automobile driving.

Optometry students often come up with many puzzling problems concerning the nature of the human eye.

Women have broken into the ranks of the Division of Optometry; eight girls challenged the masculine regime last year.

A friendly chat with Director Henry W. Hofstetter encourages students to work a little harder.

To encourage more high school students to go to college, Dean William A. Madden constantly considers new ways to improve the Junior Division.

Junior Division

The Junior Division was established in 1942 for the purpose of helping freshmen adjust to college life. It's main responsibility is to provide a program of guidance prior to and during the first year of college. The Junior Division shows a freshman the educational opportunities available at the University and assists him in choosing a field most suitable to his interests and aptitudes.

The Junior Division has many programs designed to help a freshman. These include high school visitation, pre-college counseling, academic counseling, and progress evaluation by faculty members. It also conducts studies on the problems of a freshman, and sponsors the Summer Registration program for freshmen who want to come to the Bloomington campus during the summer.

The Freshmen Advisory Commission, composed of upperclassmen and faculty, is part of the Junior Division. It helps in the orientation and registration procedures at the beginning of each semester. The commission also sponsors many tours of the campus for new students.

The present Dean of the Junior Division, William A. Madden, was appointed in September of 1967. Dean Madden said that the Junior Division hopes to encourage more high school seniors to attend Indiana University. When asked what new plans are being made for the future, Dean Madden said: "Just to get better and better at what we're doing."

The Junior Division was originally organized at the Bloomington campus, but now has offices at all regional campuses. This enables high school guidance counselors and teachers to easily get information about Indiana University.

For thousands of freshmen, summer pre-registration is their first experience on I.U.'s campus. Individual counseling, guest speakers, and discussion groups help to orient the Class of '72.

Associate Deans Joel A. Hunt and Foster W. Blaisdell Jr. work with Acting Dean Harry G. Yamaguchi to keep I.U.'s Graduate School one of the best in the nation.

Graduate Schools

There was great concern this year that increased student involvement in the U.S. Military Residential College in Vietnam would deplete the I. U. Graduate School, but the anticipated drop of up to 25% of the graduate population failed to happen. According to Dean Harry Yamaguchi, "There has been hardly any change in enrollment." In fact, the effect of the war was to hold the trend of increasing enrollment to five.

Besides worrying about their I A's and 4F's, the grads struggled to earn their M.A.'s, M.S.'s, and Ph.D.'s in sixty-three departments. At times, the graduate system resembles an apprentice school with each student laboring under a master. However, graduates gained an increasing voice in the school as the Graduate Advisory Committee went into its third year of action.

Graduate teaching assistants made great strides this year by gaining membership on the Faculty Council.

Grad students find that lab research work is one of the best ways to prove their theories about science.

Robert W. Richey, Director of Summer Sessions, discusses summer curricula with Ralph W. Sinks, Assistant Director, as they contemplate problems confronting one of the Midwest's largest summer school enrollments.

Summer Sessions

Summer Sessions 1968 set a new record in the 1. U. campus history. For the first time, over 100,000 credits were earned by students during a summer program on the Bloomington campus. Indiana University's summer program, one of the largest in the nation, offered over 1200 different courses involving all schools and departments. Almost one-half as many students complete their degrees at the end of a summer session as in June.

Last summer, 14,799 students took credit courses on the Bloomington campus while 22,807 participated in conferences, workshops, institutes, and clinics. Students from the high school level through the postdoctorate level as well as adults in various professions, businesses, and industries were involved. In addition, 1,384 students attended the medical, dental, and law centers located in Indianapolis, and 10,929 students earned credits at regional campuses.

Not all university summer study takes place in the campus classroom. Indiana University also offers extensive and diversified cultural and recreational programs and several summer tours. The Student Leadership Tour to Europe for high school age student leaders was a new innovation in travel.

Smith Higgins, Dean of Regional Campuses, discusses the vast university reorganization plans of the regional campuses with Associate Dean Rufus Rieberg.

Regional Campuses

Faculty members worked to create a traditional college atmosphere for the 18,000 students at the seven extension campuses. They encouraged and helped students establish student governments, student publications, athletic groups, academic clubs, scholarships, and social clubs. In the future, sororities and fraternities may even come to the extension campuses, although I.U. cannot sponsor them for lack of land.

Mr. John Ryan was inaugurated as Vice President and Dean of Regional Campuses in August, 1968. Dean Ryan hoped to bring flexibility and better organization to the extension program in order to cope with the demand of education at these campuses.

The extension division of I. U. began in 1914. By the 1930's, the first extension centers with resident facilities were opened in South Bend, Indianapolis, Northwest, and Ft. Wayne. Later campuses at Kokomo and Southeast were set up. With direct support since 1965, "a new era" was born for the extension campuses. 148
