In the September issue of the ALUMNUS we appealed for class pictures of 1928 and 1933 to add to those displayed on the walls of St. Mary's Hall. These are the only two missing.

Our appea l bore some results for the picture of 1933 has been found and will shortly be seen in its proper sequence on the walls.

From the items in the Hilltop路 Jottings on page six of this ALUMNUS you can see that all sorts of interesting things are beginning to blossom forth on the campus these days.

As the editor of the Exponent put it in the November issue "H ow apparent it has become to faculty members and to a large percentage of the student body that at the U niversity of Dayton there has been sudden 'rebirth' of spirit, both in the academic realm and in curricular and co-curricular activities.

We are developing at UD an attitude among the students of which not many American colleges and universities can boast. " We'll try to bring you more of this awakening story in future Issues.

Crisis In Education ... UD Meets Another Need The classrooms are crowded and the need is for teachers. More teachers, more, more, more.

U D is do ing its best to meet the challenge of this need in providing well-trained tea chers for the schools of the area from every source possible.

Acco rding to the Ohio State D epartment of Education "For the nex t ten years Ohio will need . . . 2000 new high school and 3500 new elementary teachers each year. . . " Dr. Louis J . Faerber, S.M ., dean of the division of education at U D , says there are five sources for more teachers: I . high school graduates.

2. college graduates with other than education degree.

3. continued teaching by those with temporary certifica tes.

4. continued teaching by those desiring to cha nge their type o f certification; and 5. those who have all owed their certificates to lapse.

Principal sources for the D iv ision of Education now are the recent high school g raduates and the married women whose ch il dren a re grow n to . the point where they can devote part of their time to teaching.

The need is grea t a nd the Di vision is do ing everything it can.

Special courses and workshops during the summer help teachers now in the classroom keep abreast of the latest trends.

Late afternoon and evening classes help those with other jobs prepare themselves to enter the teaching profession. Every possible effort is being made among the high school students to interest th em in studying educa tion at college.

This yea r in day classes alone there are 446 students studying in the Division o f Education, almost equally divided between men and women. There are 230 men and 216 women registered.

42 NEW FACULTY APPOINTED THIS FALL For fifty years a tangible symbol of faith and a monument to the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception.

The statue of the Immaculate Conception has stood in the park for 50 years, watching the campus. In early 1904, students then on the campus took on the job of raising funds for the construction of the monument to the proclamation.

The student campaign was under the presidency of Alex Schoen, '04, and now deceased, with Charles Whalen, Sr., '07, as vice-president; Bernard Hollencamp, secretary; and Albert Seidensticker, '04, deceased, as treasurer. In a period of about five months this group, with their fellow students, gol almost $3,000.

Soon the fund began to mount and the signal to go ahead was given. The Kronauge Monument Co. placed an order in Italy for the sculpture. Vermont granite was quarried for the base and pedestal.

In Jun e the concrete foundation was poured.

In November the foundation stone was set and in December the statue was placed atop the pedestal and on the 11th of the month elaborate dedication ceremonies were held.

Archbishop Moeller of Cincinnati came for the ceremonies which opened with an impressive service in the chapel.

After the benediction a procession was formed to the base of the statue where some 5,000 assembled persons watched Joseph Pilon, '05, president of the Jubilee Association, unveil the statue.

The H on. Harry C. Busch, '96, of Cincinnati, represented the alumni, in making the address of the day.

Following the dedication a formal dinner was given on the campus and in the evening a jubilee entertainment was presented in the gymnasium.

On December 15 the final meeting of the Jubilee Association was held at which Fr. Louis Tragesser, the president, thanked all the students for their part in making such a wonderful thing possible, and read a number of congratulator y messages from friends of the college.

John H . Patterson, of the National Cash Register Company later presented two beautiful bronze inscription tablets which were placed on the light pole in the park.

Inscription on the tablet read :

HERE'S THE LATEST AERIAL VIEW OF THE CAMPUS

1/il/top Jottings . Jack Bramlage, '52, has returned to the Guidance Center after two years of military service. Jack joined the staff there while still a student and has now become a fulltime staff counselor. Jack offers his services to all alumni as one of responsibilities is that of full-time placement including that for alumni. . . . The Division of business scored twice within a wee k in October with special programs for business and professional people in the area .

From October 14 to 16th the Division unc.~r D r. K. Laurence Chang, gave a Federal Tax Institu te for tax accountants and attorneys.

Then on October 20, the Division, under Charles Whalen, Jr., sponsored with the Dayton Retail Merchants Association and the Ohio Council of Retail Merchants, a one-day retail workshop held on the campus. . . . Maj . Robert MacLane, assistant professor of military science and tactics, was given the Legion of Merit award in ceremonies at the first military drill of the year held in September. . . . Bro. Joseph Mervar, S.M., received national publicity in September for his new program in the evening classes. This year, bro. devised a system of " wi nd ow shopping" for students in evening classes, allowing them to look over their classes before registering. Registration was held the second week of classes, thus avoiding reregistrations, changes and so on. . . . Bro. James Kline, University buyer, was host to the Ohio Section of the National Association of College Purchasing Agents and Buyers in October for a two-day meeting. ... R. Kathleen Whetro will be host to the Ohio Associations of the Dean of Women on the campus next fall. . . . A thirty-live yea r teaching career came to an end this fall with the retirement of Bro. Andrew Weber, for health reasons. Bro. Weber had done much for the mechanical engineering program, the engi neering re fresher program and in the field of industrial safety.

. . . The University will install a retirement and pension system for the lay faculty and staff after the first of the year. The plan will be supported through identical contributions of the University and the individual. ... D on C. Metz, director of the UD technical institute, reported a national survey of technical institute enrollments at a meeting of the technical institute section of the American Society for Engineering Education. D on's ligures show a 42 per cent increase in full-time students in the institute over last year and a 17 per cent increase in the combined day and evening total. . .. Registration ligures for the yea r released

by Bro. Joseph Merva r, registrar, show this to be the largest year ever for U D .

Full-time day enrollments reached a total of 2581 students with another 2156 in evening classes. The total for the yea r is 473 5a 17 per cent increase over last year. This makes U D the largest private undergraduate college in Ohio; the largest religious college in Ohio; and Ohi o's fastest g r owi ng university. . . . The hnme economics department has received app rova l of the State of Ohio "as a training institution for teachers in home economics." UD is the first private college in the state to receive this honor. ... The home economics department started a program for day care center and nursery school operators in mid-November, designed to help them and their staffs meet the new inspection requirements of the State of Ohio.

Mrs. Margaret Gallico is the instructor. . . . U D has entered a contract with the Dayton Air Reserve Center to train research and deve lopment project officers. Two courses, each with 50 officers, are now meeting twice a month to learrt the duties of a project engineer, project devel opment and the correct methods used in the management and successful completion of a project. . . In a reorganization of the nursing program at U D , the accent has now been placed on advanced clinical courses. The program is now for graduate nurses who have received their R.N . A nurse will be gra nted 45 hours of credit for the R.N. Upon application, the graduate will take the National League for Nursing graduate nurse qualifying exam. Successful completion of the

exam may entitle her to an additional 15 hours of credit. Then she will take 68 of academic training under the direction of the U D nursing department and its new head, Miss Bernice O 'Brien, '4 1.

The only degree in the field to be given in the future will be bachelor of science in nursing.

TECHNICAL INSTITUTE ACCREDITED BY ECPD All three of the programs of the technical institute at UD have been accredited by the Engineer's Council for Professional D evelopment, only accrediting agency fo r technical and enginee ring programs in the coll eges and universities of the country.

U D now joins 27 other institutions that have approved tech ni cal institute programs.

As a result U D may now state that it has " an ECPD accredited technical institute program " in three fields- industrial technology, electrical technology and mechanical technology .

A new program in printing technology is now under development w ith the D ayton Graphic Arts Management Education Council. This program was announced during the summer and was offered this fall for the first time and was not in being at the time of inspection.

Technical institute cou rses were offered on a limited basis at U D in 1950. The institute itself, organized by Don Metz in 1951 offers two-year programs leading to the associate degree.

As a result of the accreditation, the UD technical institute becomes fully recognized by all educationa l units in the country as meeting the highest standards of the profession. Now students from the U D technical institute may transfer their credits to any other such institution without loss of credit.

Its significance can be seen in the following resu lts. It assures the administration of U D and the staff of the technical institute that their work is meeting recognized standards of education . It enhances the prestige of an associate degree from the University of D ayton with educational institutions and business and industry.

ONPJRJDB The student-sponsored and organized parade on the morning of the Homecoming game has become a tradition now on路 the Hilltop.

The beaury and originality of the floats, the precision of the marchi ng units and the dispatch with which the who le parade moved are the hall -marks of good planning.

T hese pictures tell at least pa rt of the story of this year's Homecoming Parade.

The Queen Jackie Macbeth

FLYER FOOTBALL FORTUNES BEGIN TO RISE This picture goes a long way towards telli ng the story of Coach Hugh Devore's 1954 University of Dayton football Flyers-Take a good look at it......"

rr.-,.....,.~

Pep's Peeps Before the Miami football game a publicity department release noted that Dayton faced Miami "with hope without disdain, with confidence without exuberance."

It would do well for Flyer football fans to face the 1955 season with the same outlook.

The inspired play of Clive Rush 's frosh team sent alumni hopes sky-rocketing. It might be well to pause and reflect that this is the third straight year Dayton has had a line frosh team.

There's a big question- how many will be around after grades are posted next June?

How many will armed forces claim? H ow ma ny will be called from school by various home circumstances?

Not too much was to be expected this past season, nor next. That was the only sensible way to look at the situation. That still is the onl y sensible way to look at the situation.

Coach Hugh Devore and his staff stepped up the time schedule-but only after an intensive coaching job. They are still entitl ed to time to spread out and really build a solid foundation . They deserve the time to do it.

For fans to go overboard now could be fatal-there might be no life preserver around to keep afloat through the stormy seas that most surely lie ahead.

A salute to Jim Hanby. The ex-Flyer gua rd piloted his Stivers High School team to the city title this season. It marked the end, at least temporarily, of the Chaminade dynasty which had reigned for ten years.

Hanby, a Flyer great as well as captain during his stay on the Hilltop, has been at Stivers just three seasons.

Speaking of Flyers' great guards and captains-Dayton loses another this year in Capt. Jimmy Shafor, right guard. But they have another already in action in Jerry Ward.

And coming up from the frosh team are two names to remember-Allen Shanen and Adam Klys.

PH O T O BY BOB O ' BRIEN

Louisville halfback T om Caras (36) almost has his pants torn off in the steel -like grip of Dayton's D on Chontos (55) and take a good look at the ferocious determination on the face of George Veneziale ( 68) as he joins Chontos in the tackle.

After a slow start the Flyers suddenly burst into a team of ferocious determination - they reached for the moon-grabbed and hung on.

The coaching job turned in by Hugh D evore and his aides, Joe Sheeketski, Herb Dintaman, and Clive Rush was accentuated more, perhaps, by the fact that Dayton lost its opener to Bowling Green than if the Flyers had won the game-even by a close squeak.

For the Flyers came, literally, out of the depths, and like a batch of homebrew plied too liberally with yeast, rose to heights that upon occasions left their faithful followers intoxicated with thrills .

To single out individual players would not be telling the true story of what was a team effort; however, it's difficult to slide by without pointing out the work of Capt.

Jim Shafor , Jim Katcava g e and Kenny Bockenstette.

Shafor, who called defensive signals, and Katcavage sparked a defense that often fai led to wilt under heavy lire. Bockenstette engi neered an offense that refused to be denied.

Devore's Chlorophyll Kids became the Comeback Kids. An early deadline made it impossible to cover the final two games ... but the Flyers had done enough playing between the Louisville and Miami games to make a lasting impression.

Vince Werl, the senior tackle from Pittsburgh, made his last year his greatest- and a fellow townsman, Jack Muldowney, did just as well at the other tackle. Jim Ducato got stronger at center as the season went along and John Kozlevchar, for a sophomore, seasoned fast at right end.

The fans ca n look forward to two more seasons of Jerry Ward 's rugged play at left gua rd and his accurate extra-point booting.

But the thing that is pleasing to the coaching staff and fans is the fact that the No. 2 line unit left little to be desired after experience began to set in.

Ends Steve Bosway and Paul Dacey; tackles Joh n Grogan and AI Weckle; guards Roger Towle and George Veneziale ; and center D on Chontos gave Dayton much needed depth- and they will all be back next year.

Bockenstette directed a crew of sophomore backs-Billy Smith, Don Weeks, the halfbacks; and fullback Bernie Burke. There was sterling play from John Bettinge r and Vic Kristopaitis.

Beset by a late start and then an injury, Chuck Guida still managed to work into the hearts of the fans and the headlines of the newspapers before bowing out.

All is not hearts and flowers for the Fl yers by any means. A tremendous job still lies ahead if D evore and his staff are to build the Flyer football fortunes on a firm basis.

There are bound to be setbacks- hear路t aches- but there is a determination about the Flyer football picture now that will be hard to deny- if you don't believe it- look again at the picture above.
