Announce Plans For Fieldhouse Completion

by Clark Ash

Authorization to begin construction on the long-awaited University of D ayton fieldhouse was received M onday, April 4 according to Father George J. R enneker, S. M ., president.

In making th e announcement Father R enneker stated that although the university Board of Trustee and the Society's Provincial administration had approved the construction and financial plans some month ago, final approval had to b e received from th e Superior General of the Society of Mary, the very R everend Sylveste'r J. Juergen , S. M. in Nivelles, Belgi um before th e contract could be awarded.

Construction of the $600,000 structure will begin as soon as plan receive routine re-inspection and th e details of granting the con tract are worked out. Geyer and Neuffer, D ayton architects, who designed th e tructure, say they could begin work on th e campus within a week, if necessary.

Regarding the finan cial arrangements, Brother J erome M cAvoy, S. M., University of Dayton business manager, stated that there is on hand at pre ent $310,000 of the estimated $600,000. " The University of Dayton is confid ent" , Father R enneker added, " that the city of Dayton, alumni, and friends will support this project to its completion. On the basis of this confidence the administration feel safe in b eginning construction of the building."

The fieldhouse, to be located between th e Albert Emanuel library and the tadium, will have 4,200 permanent seats with an ab olute capacity n ear 6,000. M easuring 151 ' by 220', the building will house an oversize gym floor s ubdivid e d into thr ee courts.

Steel truss construction will eliminate the need for posts, allowing unobscured vision to the spectator . The external appearance of the red-brick structure has been planned to blend with present campus buildings.

Commenting on the planning that goes into such a building, Athletic Director H arry Baujan stated: "You

FRONT COVER: May we pre ent the director of the University of D ayton Pl ayers-John I. M cGrath, a sista nt professor of speech, who is giving Rosemary Busic, the lead in Our Lady of Fatima, final in tructions.

For wills and other bequests, the legal title of the corporation is "The University of Dayton, Dayton, O hio." only build a fi eldhouse once, so you have to plan carefully. We believe we have a building that is designed to meet the needs of our greatly expanded physical education department. This fieldhouse will have expanded physical education facilities for both boy and girl gym classes, plus class rooms and offices for the physical education department. That was our greatest need.

"This should go a long way toward improving our intercollegiate basketball program", Baujan remarked. "It will make it possible for us to book games with larger schools, and should give us an intercollegiate program on a par with any school in this section of the country."

Geyer and Neuffer, architects, estimated that the building will take approximately 15 months to complete.

Father R enneker expressed the hope that the fi eldhouse could be dedicated sometime in the centennial year, 1950.

An estimate of $350,000 was made on the structure when it was originally planned in 1942, Father Renn eker said. Since that time increased material costs and additions to the plans have almost doubled the figure.

A great tribute is due the fund raising committee headed by alumni members Martin Kuntz, Clarence Go iger, ai].d Charles Whalen, Sr., the results of their great efforts and dreams are finally becoming a reality.

"The $310,000 now on hand", Father R enneker said, "is the result of gifts large and small from alumni and friends of the university".

ALL ARE INVITED 7

James M. Harris D anny Piloseno, line coach under Joe Gavin, resigned from the Flyers coaching staff on March 16 to accept a po ition at Boston University. Line coach under Aldo (Buff ) Donelli, Piloseno left the University of Dayton in time to be in Boston for their spring practice which began April 1.

Appointed to the U . D. Coaching staff to fill the vacancy created by Piloseno was James M. H arris, Notre Dame alumnus and form er assistant to Bill K ern a t West Virginia University.

Harris is an experienced veteran, breaking into the coaching game as an assistant to Dr. Eddie Anderson a t Holy Cross in 1933. When Anderson took Greeley's advice a nd moved west to Iowa University, H a rris made the trip as line coach. After pulling a three-year hitch in the Army Air Corps, Harris emerged to take over the line coaching for Bill K ern at West Virginia and helped to mold the first Mountaineer team to defeat Pittsburgh in fifteen years. With the exodus of K ern and his staff in 194 7, Harris rested from his football labors during 1948.

Graduating from Notre D ame in 1938, Harris played a rugged guard for the Irish during ' 30, ' 31, and ' 32.

H e prepped a t H . S. Linsley Institute in Wheeling, W . V a., and is married but has no children.

Of him, Gavin says, " We're very fortuna te to get a man with th e vast experience and backgrouhd of H arris.

H e comes highly recommended by Eddie Anderson."
