For several years, the small building in the center of the campus had served as a carpenter shop. Its conversion into a new home for Brother Arnold Klug, postmaster of the campus since 1947, was completed last month. The move allowed for expansion of the bookstore in Zehler Hall. Among other moves planned for the busy summer ahead, classrooms, labs and offices on the third and fourth floors of St. Mary's Hall go to the new Science Building, now nearing completion; the Guidance Center vacates the basement of Albert Emanuel Library, to allow for more expansion of library facilities, and moves onto the fourth floor of St. Mary's Hall; and the alumni, public relations and development offices gather together for the first time and take over newly converted office space on the second floor of St. Mary's. And while all the moving is going on, a sizable landscaping project is under way in the courtyards surrounded by the chapel, St. Mary's, Chaminade and St. Joseph's halls. The project will result-once the new trees and shrubs begin growing-in a much more beautiful campus for the University.

proud to pledge . • • To the editor: As a graduate of the University of Dayton (June, 1957), I am proud to enter m y pledge toward your 1959 (sixth annual alumni fund) campaign. I majored in accounting at the University and can proudly say that I am now working for the firm of J. A. Wood & Co., Certified Public Accountants, here in Springfield. I might add that public accounting offers a much bigger challenge to me in this chosen profession rather than some form of industrial accounting. I mention this point because I feel that the thorough knowledge and learning that I acquired during my four years at the University prepared me very well for my present job. I would just like to say thanks to UD and to its faculty. Please find enclosed a check as initial payment toward my pledge. WILLIAM A. HIGDON Springfield, Ohio
(Note: Bill Higdon's letter is typical of many such comments received from alumni during the current successful sixth annual alumni fund. Going a step further, Bill accepted chairmanship of the Springfield portion of the fund .) the college teacher • • • To the editor: I have received a copy of your "The College Teacher: 1959" and I would very much like to have about 75 or 100 copies for use in local fund-raising, for faculty salaries .. .

:UD Rises To Defend Altimni! University of Dayton officials yesterday came to t.he support o! their alumni and declared they are "doing their fair share.·· Bro. Elmer Lackner, alumni director, gave a detailed explanation why American Alumni Council records apparently show only 5.4 per cent of UD's alumni contributed to the college last year. Figures given in the , report, he J said, were based only on a "low 1 ing to June, 1959," Brother Lack· pressure'' mail solicitation of a ner continued.

The story at the top of the page appeared in March and brought University of Dayton alumni officials hurriedly and loudly to their feet. Alumni Director Brother Elmer Lackner immediately spoke up for his faithful thousands and showed (at left) that the University should be clos·e to the top rather than "on the bottom of the pile." The original story later brought official apologies from the American Alumni Council (see Letters, p.

AND THEN • • •
AS IF TO SHOW BROTHER LACKNER WAS RIGHT,
the sixth
fund went over the top THERE were still seven months remaining in the sixth annual alumni fund appeal when at the end of April, the members of the campaign leadership group sat down on the campus to evaluate the drive. The Dayton portion of the solicitation had ended only two weeks previously with some $3000 yet to go before the $40,000 goal would be reached. Mason Benner, U D's director of development and the organization men behind the sixth fund, was late arriving at the informal meeting and when he did join the other campaign principals, he was still adding figures handed him shortly before by his office people. When he began grin?ing, it was apparent that the fund, JUSt two months under way and seven months yet from its December 1 completion, was over the top. Mace announced that as of April 30, a total of $40,753 .81 had been received by the "counters" in the development office. It was cause for jubilation. Chairman Bill Fitzpatrick happily read the fig ures: Dayton Group A, under Tom Maher, $4958;
Brother Elmer Lackner, alumni director, congratulates Bill Fitzpatrick, chairman of the sixth annual alumni fund, as the drive goes over the $40,000 goal.
Dayton Group B, under Pete Kuntz, $4995; Dayton Group C, under Jim Gilvary, $4485; Special Gifts, under George Humm, $8878.30; Alumni Chapters Outside Dayton, under Mary Shay, $9214; and Mail Solicitation, handled by the development office under secretary Katherine McCall's direction, $8223.51. Brother Lackner, with an "I told you our alumni come through" gleam in his eye, gave his congratulations to a happy Bill Fitzpatrick. And the contributions kept arriving. By the time The ALUMNUS went to press early last month, the total was up to $42,079.81. Each day the mail brought more contributions from Daytonians somehow missed in the solicitation and from alumni around the country and the world. (As mentioned in the U.D . REPORT last month, Marion Childress '53, sent her last American dollar all the way from Pakistan where she's working as a medical missionary.) This first organized alumni fund since the one prior to the 1956 campaign for Wohlleben Hall and the Science Bldg. was already more than successful. The percentage of contributions as well as the total dollar value of contributions was most encouraging. And there were still many hundreds of alumni yet to be contacted for their assistance in "maintaining a great faculty," the purpose of the campaign . . . Stand up, alumni, and take a bow!

THANKS, ALUMS!
ii ... and ~elcome Yes, hearty congratulations to UD's numerous Hawaiian alumni! Welcome as the 50th state in the union. It didn't take this historic vote of the Congress, however, to make us feel that the islands and their citizens were one of us . The University of Dayton has always had a high regard for Hawaiians and their home. Some of UD's greatest athletes came from the islands (Robert "Ducky" Swan, and Leroy Ka-ne, above right, for instance) and many of Hawaiians top high school grads enroll each year at UD. Some 90 UD alumni are now living on the islands. Many are respected doctors and dentists-such as Edmund C. K. Lum '45, George Oshiro '52, Niall Scully '45, Seiya Ohata '39, John Chalmers '41, Edwin L. Young '39, to mention a few. There are a number of prominent businessmen: David Tom '44, a city planner; Howard Hee '54, a loan and collection officer; George Houghtailing '29, a planning consultant; Philip Chun '39, partner in a shoe store; Edward Chun '53, branch manager of a finance company; Richard Tom '39, president of a contracting firm ; Sumida Shinzaburo '36, vice president and manager of two businesses; Gilbert Perreira
'57, an NCR salesman; George Wong '57, an insurance accountant; Charles (Bill) Kendall '29, executive director of the Hawaiian Government Employees' Association. Many are teachers: Sisters Mary Lucy Ah Fook '55, Julie Louise Thevenin '55, M. Doreen Herrmann '53, Veronica de Mattos '55, Mary Rose Gordon '53, Mary Linus DeLozier '55; Hal Okita '54; Daniel Yee '49, George Leong '54; and Father Stephen Tutas '47, one of many members of the Society of Mary holding UD degrees and staffing SM schools in Hawaii. There are engineers: Tom Yamada '52,
with the Telephone Company; Anthony Wong '43, at Pearl Harbor, Wallace Chang '48, with the Navy, and Clarence Ching '42, with the Coast Guard. With the Air Force as .chief of the Management Analysis Division is Cornelius Dicken '50. Among those in the service are Comdr. E. B. Flory '43, with the Pacific Fleet; and Alvin Lum '58 with the Army's famed Wolfhound Regiment. These are but a small percentage of the many UD alumni whose cherished islands are about to become the 50th of the United States. To these and all Hawaiian UD'ers, congratulations and welcome!
When word reached the campus that Congress had voted statehood for Hawaii, it didn't take long for UD senior Bob Caliboso (center) to call his islanders together for an islandstyle celebration. Almost 20 Hawaiians now attend UD.

The University's beloved President, Father Andrew Seebold, celebrated the silver anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood in April. One of the high points in the observance came during the course of a Solemn High Mass in the fieldhouse when, at the offertory, he discovered a beautiful new silver
chalice, appropriately engraved, one of several remembrances from his students (left). A public observance of the anniversary was held a few days later during which some 700 friends and associates paid tribute to the priest who's been UD's leader since 1953 .
5th Anniversary As A Priest
The fieldhouse was the scene of the public observance of Father Seebold's anniversa ry. Several hundred friends were on hand.
His students, at their own program paid tribute to Father Seebold as an exemplary priest (right), gave the Louisville native a genuine Kentucky Colonel certificate (below, left). Flanked (below, right) by fellow jubilarians (Father John Dickson, Father James Donnelly, Brother John Lucier), Father Seebold listens to tributes from students. Gift chalice is in foreground.
Among those saluting the president at the fieldhouse program were Robert S. Oelman, presIdent of UD's associate board of lay trustees â&#x20AC;˘ .â&#x20AC;˘
And Dayton Mayor and Alumni Association presIdent R. William Patterson. Father Seebold was ordained in Switzerland March 17, 1934.
SfJme Pumpkins, This Garry! a youngster who's tearing up both the hardwood and the diamond has UD sports fans all agog
When Tom Blackburn went about recruiting a freshman basketball team last summer many names were tossed around by the press, the Dayton basketball fans and the student body. One name apparently escaped all but Blackburn. Garry Roggenburk had made a substantial reputation for himself in Cleveland as a high school basketball player and a top-grade pitcher, both on the secondary school level and the amateur baseball circles. But there had been no indication to the faithful in Dayton that he would be the talk of the 1958-59 school year. At least there was no talk until he stepped onto the basketball court at the UD fieldhouse a few times. Before the winter was over, almost everyone seemed to know Garry's history way back. He was, they would tell you, a real great basketball player in high school. He was, too, a top baseball prospect. "Why, hadn't the Cleveland Indians offered $15,000 for his pitching arm?" It was then that everyone was in on the know. In fact , there were times when a few would give you the impression they knew more about this slender 6-6 St. Ignatius boy than did Blackburn. Of course, Blackburn let the issue slide by only to remark a couple times that, as a freshman, "Roggenburk was the best prospect Dayton had had in his time." It got so during the winter that almost half of the 5,600 who nightly watched UD on the court would be around for a good part of the freshman game. It happened, too, that Roggenburk's appearance in the local AAU league with the frosh team would signal goodsized crowds on a Sunday afternoon at the Coliseum. His smooth style, his point-making and his obviously cool personality were attracting the people to him. Before the long freshman campaign was over Roggenburk had played in 33 games and was chiefly responsible for the 26-6-2 record enjoyed by the imposing freshman club.
12
In those 33 appearances in a UD uniform he scored 711 points for a 21.5 average and had shot 41 per cent from the floor and 72 per cent from free throw line. These scoring figures are believed to be a record for UD freshman basketball. Accurate marks are not available for all seasons so UD authorities can only presume that this is a record . With this campaign behind him, Roggenburk looks to be the key figure in Blackburn's comeback planning for the 1959-60 season. It won't be easy for a sophomore, no matter his talent, to step into a varsity role and be an immediate hero . But Roggenburk has the stuff. He has the pitching stuff, too, to be a great pitcher some day. The professional baseball people have been keeping a close eye on the young man. After his opening performance with the UD baseball team this spring one can understand the vigilance. He went nine innings against Wright-Patterson Kittyhawks on a hot May 2 and fanned 18 batters, gave up six hits-four in the last two innings when he tired-and walked only one batter for a 3-1 decision . It is no wonder then that this Cleveland product has set the Flyer athletic fans on their collective ears. He's some pumpkins.

SHE'S THIRD IN UD HISTORY TO GET PERFECT GRADES CINCINNATIAN Mary Jo O'Callaghan has become the third student in University of Dayton history to complete her college career with perfect grades. And it hasn't been just a case of books and nothing else for Mary Jo. She's been seen frequently in lead roles with the UD Players; she was editor this year of The Exponent; she's been one of the most active members of Phi Alpha Theta, the Writers' Club, the Sodality; she helped put together the recent Variety Show. The 22-yearold English major represented the 35 honor graduates at the honors convocation last month. In September, she enters the State University of Iowa on the first Woodrow Wilson fellowship ever won by a UD student to continue work in English. Perfect graders of the past are Tony Evers, '53, who at last report was teaching electrical engineering at the University of Notre Dame (he had

Total circulation was 2,160,000 copies.) figures showed weakness • • • To the editor: I have received a clipping from the Journal Herald issue of March 28 concerning the Alumni Fund Survey. I sincerely hope that we have not embarrassed you, your alumni or the University by the figures shown in our Survey. It does show the weakness of any survey and unfortunately you were caught in one. One strong possibility we are considering for next year would be the addition of a column "Total Number of Alumni Donors for All Purposes." This would take care of alumni who are paying on capital pledges. With more and more capital campaigns in progress we feel the emphasis should be more on total alumni giving. Again may I express my apologies if the Survey inconvenienced you. DAVID M. THOMPSON Assistant Director The American Alumni Council Washington 6, D . C. (Note: See page 4.) 19
THE
Rather quietly, the last (April) issue of The ALUMNUS announced itself as the first number in Volume 25. Twenty-four volumes, and many, many numbers ago (on January 15, 1929, to be more precise), a small, eight-page magazine, entitled the University of Dayton ALUMNUS, appeared. Appearing at the same time was a new office on the campus-that of the "alumni secretary." (The magazine was discontinued from June, 1933, to January, 1940.) That first issue of The ALUMNUS contained a letter from Father Bernard P. O'Reilly, then president, announcing the new office of alumni secretary; an editorial urging support for the new office; a note that Harry Baujan was reappointed athletic director; a story that the Flyers were about to start on the "toughest basketball schedule ever carded for Dayton quintet", and a report on a reunion of the Class of '08 under the leadership of Clem Jauch and Clarence Stoecklein. The first appearance of the magazine, back in 1929, and much of the solid foundation on which the UD alumni association has since been built, was due largely to the efforts of one of the University's most loyal and energetic alumni, Merle P.

Smith. He was the first editor of The ALUMNUS and the first full-time alumni secretary. Today, Merle-general manager of the JoyceCridland Company in Dayton-is still a leader among UD alumni-as chairman of the Development Committee, as secretary of the Associate Board of Lay Trustees, as a distinguished public citizen, and as an avid supporter of "anything UD." On the occasion of the 25th birthday year of The ALUMNUS, greetings to Merle P. Smith, '25. We take this opportunity to repeat a statement made by Merle in that editorial in the first issue of the magazine, a statement as true today as in 1929 when the young alumni association was in its infancy: "Our success," wrote Merle, "depends upon the support and good will of every individual alumnus." HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MERLE!
