McGRAW
ALUMNI -FACULTY AWARD GOES TO T. l.'s McGRAW
DR. MICHAELIS
DR. BAKER
The Alumni Association's fourth annual $500 award to the faculty member making the most significant contribution to the academic life and prestige of the University during the preceding year went last month to James L. McGraw, chairman of the department of industrial technology. An in-depth study of standards in technical in titute education around the country which McGraw headed for the American Society for Engineering Education under a $47 ,000 grant from the National Science Foundation brought nationwide recognition and subsequently the Alumni-Faculty award to the thirty-eight-year-old assistant professor who in July becomes acting director of the Technical Institute. McGraw won his industrial engineer's degree from Lafayette College in 195 I and spent three years in industry before joining the University faculty in 1954. His master's degree came from Xavier University in 1960. For the first time, second and third place awards were also made. A $300 award went to Dr. Carl I. Michaelis, professor of chemistry, particularly in recognition of two scholarly papers, delivered at professional meetings and published in chemistry journals, and for "continued excellence in the classroom" and "his contributions to his professions of teaching and of chemistry. " A $200 third place award was won by Dr. Richard R. Baker, long-time professor of philosophy, for a lengthy list of "contributions ... which extend back for many years ... and continue unabated to this very moment . .. His greatest strength lies in his continued excellence in the classroom as evidenced by widespread alumni recognition and testimonials ... " Funds for the annual award were voted by the alumni association from contributions to the annual Support Programs. Previous winners were Dr. Con Fecher ( 1960), Dr. Charles Scheidler ( 1961), and Father John Kelley (1962) .

Here is his report: • I got my feet wet yesterday as a crew member of the raft "Lollipop." She pitched, rolled, tilted, and listed in sequence , but miraculously stayed afloat long enough to cross the finish line. Coeds creamed encouragement from the banks. The frolicking was part of the Huck Finn D ay raft races, climaxing the University of Dayton's Spring Week activities. It was held on the Miami Ri ver between the Keowee and Helena St. bridges. This all started because somebody got the crazy idea a reporter ought to get a firsthand view of the race. Upon arriving at the river, I sp ied a sturdy looking boat and convinced the crew-Ken Kuzon, a senior from De-
troit, Bob Deorr, a Kalam azoo, Mich . senior, freshma n Charlie Bagnato of Pittsburgh , and senior John Zilin shas, a nother Pittsburgher- 1 could help by serving as a lookout. Lau nching of the " Lollipop" brought squeals of delight from the spectators. "Strike the Wolveri ne color ," shouted Captain Kuzon . "Take her out, Big Z (Zi linshas) ." "G imme a padd le, gimme a paddle," yelled starboa rd oarsman Deorr. "You're not working Z. This thing's a regular boxcar." The other 17 or so club-sponsored rafts lined up , with the aid of the Coast Guard auxiliary. But our ship held up the race 15 minutes by going ag round on the star ting buoy. After one false start when somebody on the bank blew

a whistle, the race commenced with a flurry of cheers. (Most of the cheers came from participants.) " You get on the big paddle," shouted our captain. " You 're not workin' Z, let's go. Hey, our rudder's broke. Everything's goin' wrong." "They're tryin' to ram us . Puncture their pontoons!" We passed a lot of people on the shore we knew. They mostly just yelled insults at us. We also passed a few campfires, didn 't pass very many other rafts. We got so far behind, Big Z jumped into the water and started pushing the " Lollipop." We even tried a football cheer of "row, row, row," but we all got hoarse . Once, somebody changed positions and I thought we were all going under, but we only lost a deck chair. As it turned out, Scabbard and Blade military honorary won the thing and we finished second to last. But it didn't make any difference, because they declared us ineligible right after the race started because we'd broken the rules by: ONE-Carrying a five-man crew (my fault). TWO-Using the ship's flag as a sail. THREE-Using four paddles instead of two. • Fearl ess Harry Kennedy , pencil and pad clutched in hand and life jacket se¡ cure, went above and beyond to ge t his on-the-raft story from th e deck of the Wolverine Club 's improbable "Lollipop."
(RIGHT) Scabbard and Blade military fraternity used aircraft wing tanks instead of cumbersome oil drums and thus cut down water resistance to such an extent that they won the race with little competition.

MAKE WAY FOR THE NEW FLYERS AND THE ROVING I by JOE McLAUGHLIN
COACH Pete Ankney received a vote of confidence from several sources after bis successful debut as the University of Dayton's football coach last month. His " new" Flyers and the " Roving I"' offense delighted a crowd of 4,600 while downing a good Alumni group, 27-0, in the annua l spring game. Sitting in on the proceedings was the University of Toledo"s new coach, Frank Lauterbur, who commented: "I was very much impressed with their execution. The team seemed very well coached and the ball handling was good considering the short period of time they've had to learn the offense. They certainly threw a lot of different formations at the Alumni." Toledo plays Dayton in the opening game next fall. Mario Russo, a former Flyer assistant coach who is now Lauterbur's Toledo aide, added: "If I could take one of those players away with me, it would be Gary Hussion." This last sentiment was echoed in many quarters after the game. Everyone agreed that the freshman signal caller makes a big difference in the team's offensive play. Curt Hammerbeck, who does some recruiting for the Green Bay Packers, called Hussion "a coming collegiate star. He showed more poise than you"d expect from a freshman in that responsible position." The Alumni coaches, Joe Quinn '42 and Bill Lange '50, who until this game had not lost to a varsity team in two previous spring game tries, said " the Flyers were by far the best team we've faced in our coaching against Varsity teams. They had good execution and hit hard and quickly. Ankney adjusted well to the various things we attempted and the boys made few mistakes. That helped them a lot." After reviewing films of the game , Ankney seemed pleased with much of what he had seen . He particularly pointed to the pass defense and some of the defensive work by the linemen. He indicated that adjustments would be made in certain phases of the offense , but would need more time to study this part of the game . In addition to Hussion and the other quarterback, Tom LaBeau, who ran extremely well, the films showed that Mickey Bitsko, the pilot back and defensive linebacker, and his fellow linebacker, Mike Ciccolella, did a top job both ways although they were excellent on defense. John Sauer, who scouts for the Minnesota Vikings, commented: " You'll get a lot of tackles from those linebacker spots next fall." Bitsko also was named the Varsity 's most valuable

THE "ROVING I" OFFENSE
Here are the three basic formations employed in the new "Rov ing I" offense which the Flyers will be using next fall. The right end is always split; sometimes the left end is split; and the pi lot back can be any number of places. This new offense promises varied patterns of attack which should provide fans with some interesting afternoons and evenings of football come the 1963 season. player in the game by ten former U.D. football players who did not participate in the contest. Newcomers to the line- center Frank Chew, end Tom Titus, and tackle John Pugni-stood out in their assignments. Erwin Will, a tackle who played some last fall, also gave a good account of himself. These were some of the new men Ankney was particularly anxious to learn about. They can account for the depth so needed in the U .D. football picture, and all of them came through with fine performances. Ankney used about two and a half units during the game and, except for a few mistakes here and there, he could look hopefully to the future. The rest of the seventysix-man squad was sent into a closing intrasquad scrimmage the following day in an effort to build a fifty- or fifty-five-man squad for next fall. In the spring game, the second backfield of LaBeau at quarterback, Bob Ireton and Bitsko at the half and pilot back spots, respectively, and freshman Frank Talz at fullback were on a par with the first unit of Hussion, half- and pilot backs Ch uck McElligott and Charley Bronzi (two Cleveland boys), and fullback Jim Overman. His second line also played a great deal of the second half and a por-
tion of the first half so that all hi s key players saw plenty of competition. ft would be unfair to select any single player in the defensive secondary because the effort was a collective one. Alumni quarterback Butch Zimmerman , who had riddled three previous Varsity second aries, was held to only eleven completions in thirty attempts for a thirty-six per cent average . Previously he had been hitting over fifty per cent. This factor, more th an anyt hing else, kept the Alumni from scori ng.
Ankney employed red-dogging tactics and on one occasion this stopped an Alumni drive. In summing up the contest, the key factors were the team 's ab ility to adjust quickl y, the tight pass defense, the stron g tack ling, the po ise of Hussion, and the excell ent play of Bitsko and Ciccolella. All three of the last mentioned players could be collegiate football stars this fall. Huss ion has three years of eligibility while Bitsko and C iccolell a have two yea rs of play before they go for the profession al ranks.

JIM HERBERT '63 The ALUMNUS asked Jim Herbert to put on paper his sentiments as his graduation from the University neared. "The Month of Bittersweet," his response to that request, is a beautiful piece of thinking and writing, and provides some insight into why Brandeis University has selected young Herbert, a history major, to study in its doctoral program in the history of ideas.

THE MONTH
It was May, the last May, the month of bittersweet ... It was like sitting on the seashore letting a last
OF BITTERSWEET handful of sand trickle through your fingers. The falling sand was smooth and warm but it fell too quickly, too soon. You wanted to squeeze each grain so that its impression might be left on your fingers, yours on it. But there was too much sand, and this was the last handful. • I mostly sat on the same bench. If I could not still go to all of it, perhaps it would yet come to me. Most of it did, whether through my mind or past my bench. The parade was the best part-the people and the colors. But my eyes would not photograph and I could not but say the old words though I meant the whole. So as it is ever, so was it then. • As I sat on the bench I looked, and talked , and thought. • I looked at the grass, the vines, the trees. Were they really greenest or merely mine? I talked with them of small minds and thought how often they had spoken, how seldom they had conversed. A university is not in its grounds but in the reflection of light. • I looked at the buildings in red and talked with those who held their keys. I thought of him whose smile had solved little but encouraged much , of him who had trusted in me and in my growth. Had they won the gamble? Little matter. The chance itself was worth taking. A university is not rigid structures but the sharply drawn breath of life. • Around and above the red my eye caught the crowning white. Then my voice caught the two of quick, broad smiles, as they had caught my mind. I thought but could not say that they had not lost nor left the field. I could only think my thanks for their creation in my clay. They were the university, a brotherhood of learning. • I scanned the sky's blue canopy, a blue as noble as his hoary scholarship, as bright as her champagne eyes. She was the best part. Talk and thought had most often been the same. A university is people and their love. • As I depart the bench it must all fall through my fingers: a spectrum of color and a forming treasure. My university was a place of light and life, of learning, and of love. • In bittersweet I willed that the university I left would near the one my mind will always carry. In bittersweet I hoped my fellows would not be lost though our years were gone. In bittersweet I squeezed each fleeting moment, and then, in bittersweet I left.

An Anniversary Worthy of Note Cooperation between the University of Dayton and the Dayton Art Institute has made a program of education in art work, particularly in the field of teacher education, available to the students of both institutions. The agreement was reached after conferences between Very Rev. President Walter C. Tredtin, S.M., of the University; Siegfried R. Weng, Art Institute director; Dr. DanielL. Leary, dean of education at U.D.; and Edward R. Burroughs, dean of the Art Institute .. .
This notice, which appeared in the old U.D. News on Feb. 11, 1938, signalled the inauguration of

Dean Edward Burroughs has directed the Art Institute School since 1925 and has been the force which has brought it to its present high status. He's also an assistant professor of art on the University faculty.
an affiliation which down through the years has meant much to both the University and the Art Institute. The current year marks the silver anni-
The work of the art student is no light matter. Few have the courage and stamina to see it through. You have to make up your mind to be alone in many ways.-ROBERT HENRI From across the Miami River, the beautiful Art Institute reflects a certain dignity and charm so befitting its character. Soon a superhighway will cut through this scene and a part of the community's beaut y will disappear. (Rollyn Puterbaugh photo)
The Institute 's Italian cloister Is one of the most beautiful spots on the grounds.
"To us it meant tatus, for it gave us a recognized University to be a part of. And this in turn brought us in larger numbers the high-caliber students which we wanted. " That such an arrangement has been beneficial as well to the University , no one would deny. It has provided a high-level art facility to bolster aca-
versary of the affiliation , and coincidentally, this anniversary year has been one of the Institute's most outstanding: during it came accreditation by the National Association of Schools of Art (NASA), the American Society of Industrial Designing, and the Industrial Designers' Educational Association, three long-sought recognitions; and during it also came a magnificent $720,000 gift from the Rike Family Foundation to finance a long-needed building for the Art Intitute school. The NASA accreditation is held only by a select list of forty schools. "These have been fruits of twentyfive years of effort," commented Ed Burroughs, artist and educator who today, as he was twenty-five years ago, is dean of the school of the I nstitute. Thomas C. Colt is director of the Institute. "The affiliation of the Institute and the University was then, in 1938, and continues to be today, a wonderful arrangement," Mr. Burroughs remarks.
The school is not a place where students are fill ed into th e groove of ru le and regulation, but where personality and originality of vision is encouraged, and inventive genius in the search for specific expression is stimulated.- ROB ERT H E RI
Mann, "to see this affiliation greatly strengthened. Anything that can be done to bring the two institutions even closer will be given our attention in the years ahead." The affiliation began with only education students in mind. Later, the bachelor of fine arts degree program became a part of the arrangement. Both have been extremely successful during the twenty-five years. Long lists of recognized artists and art teachers both in and outside the immediate Dayton area attest to this success. Current day school enrollment at the Institute is 207, about eighty of whom are in the affiliation program.
In observance of the silver anniversary, the Dean of the University, Father Thomas A. Stanley, delivered the principal address at the Institute's commencement exercises last month. And in these few pages of photographs, The ALUMNUS salutes the Art Institute and the important part it has played in bringing the U niversity of Dayton to the educational position it occupies today.

UNIVERSITY PREPARES MISSIONERS CANA, an eight-month-long spiritual training program for prospective lay missionaries, will begin its second year of operation on the University campus in August. Last month, the first seven to sign up for CANA completed the program and are now in the mission field. CANA-Chaminade's Auxiliaries from North America-is the Marianists' response to papal calls for lay missioners for Africa and Latin America. Directed by Father Philip Hoelle, the program includes informal non-credit classes, guided readings, and spiritual guidance at sessions on Sunday afternoons and Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings. Another mission training program will begin its second year on the campus this summer. The Marianist Mission Institute, directed by Father Joseph McCoy, is designed primarily to give priests, brothers, and sisters a brief (six weeks) orientation on the missions. Alumni interested in either program are encouraged to direct their inquiries to Father Hoelle or Father McCoy.

REALLY, so much has happened since I last visited with you in the March issue of The ALUMNUS, I don't know where to start. So-here we go again. The tenth annual Support Program has taken up most of our time since the first of February. In the last issue a partial report was given. However since then-it has been, as the students here at U.D. say: "Go, Mary, Go." In addition to the ICAA cities we met with the Lima " All Stars" March 13 at the Milano Club. Dr. Lee Like, chairman, is being assisted by George Schlagbaum, Bill Clark, Don Lane, Dr. Robert Busse, and Dick Norton . They managed to do a terrific job in the Lima area.

Present for the dinner-meeting at the Fireside South were Tony Mazza, Jim Murphy, Dick Rost, Don Hoelle, and Dave Schnorr.

Greenv.ille, Jim Wade in Newark, Harold Hormann in Sidney, Mike McClellan in Tiffin, Alex Schoen in Xenia, Bob Paulick in Richmond, and Jim McCaffery in South Bend. Some of the areas which we were not able to schedule for kick-off meetings have been mailed. As you know this year, the Alumni Association is soliciting only those who were not listed as contributors on the 9th Annual Support Program, and those who made one-year contributions. All alumni who pledged on a three-year basis will not be solicted until the expiration of the pledges in 1965. It i really a pleasure to work with such loyal alumni as listed in this column. Their genuine and sincere interest in the future of the University of Dayton is evidenced by the tremendous results of the previous annual Support Programs, and the Combined Support Program and Building Fund Drive of 1962 which are making possible the addition of the University Center and the Business Administration Bldg. on our campus. As I tell them all: it beats me that they are all so glad to see me and help when they realize full well that I'm coming again to ask for help in raising funds for the University of Dayton , to provide facilities for its present and future students and alumni . Now to some chapter activities. The Montgomery County chapter's I 3th an nual Spring Dinner-Dance was held June 8 at the Van Cleve Hotel. Cocktails preceded dinner in the main Ball Room where dancing to the strains of Dick Misco's orchestra followed until 12 :30 a.m . Chairman of the event was Dick Durbin. Shirley Gehring Walsh headed the decorating committee, and Charlie Graham was in charge of tickets. At the dinner, awards for chapter service, civic achievement, and professional achievement were presented respectively to Jack Bramlage '52, past president, Dr. A. V. Black '35, and William A. Fitzpatrick '39. The newly elected president of the Montgomery County chapter is Dick Durbin. Recently, through its officers and board of directors, the chapter provided for a new constitution . One of the important changes is the method of election of officers. At the May meeting, members of the board will elect one of two candidates as president for the following year. The newly elected president will appoint the vice president, secretary, and treasurer from the current board. Officers of the chapter will hold office for one year. Tenure is limited to two consecutive terms. The board of directors will consi t of an additional twelve members appointed by the officers immediately after their installation each year. Tenure of the board membership is limited to three consecutive years except when service as an officer is involved. An attempt will be made to insure appropriate representation of the classes at all times. Some good news for the alumni association from Cincinnati. Aided by the fine efforts of Don Cosgrove and Dick Finan, a meeting was called Apr. 18 to better organize the chapter there. A couple of meetings have already been held to better assist the national office in our efforts for that area. The officers elected were president, Dick Finan; vice president, Bob Conger ; secretary, Bill Ries; and
treasurer, Ed Renneker. Members of the board of directors of the Queen City chapter include Adam Westerkamp, Tom Zins, Don Cosgrove, Ed Longo Jr. , John Grogan , Jim Mueller, AI Sicking, Joe Thien , Ken Bockenstette, a nd George Tallman. Purpo e of the organization is to unite the alumn i in the area, assist the University in a more efficient manner, and establish contact periodically with U.D. graduates in the Cincinnati area.
