AAUW MEMBERSHIP The American Association of University Women (AAUW) has placed the University of Dayton on its "qualified list," and women graduates (with a baccalaureate or higher degree) are now eligible for membership in the Association. Announcement of the "privileged distinction to our ma ny fine women graduates" was made to University President Father Raymond A. Roesch by Blanche H. Dow, AAUW president in Washington. D ean of Women R. Kathleen Whetro was named by Father Roesch to serve as the University's liaison person with the Association. Dean Whetro notes that all the University's women graduates with the baccalaureate or higher degree are eligible for membership, including those who won their degrees prior to the University's being named to the select list. AA UW chapters are located in most major cities. The Dayton chapter, soon after U .D .'s acceptance was announced, sponsored a series of teas to introduce U.D. women into the organization . The AAUW "offers women college graduates an opportunity to associate and serve with college trained women in their community" for the purpose of furthering the advancement of women , developing a program to enable college women to continue their intellectual growth, discharging the special responsibilities to society of those who have enjoyed the privilege of higher education, and working for the improvement of education at all levels. Prior to the University's acceptance in November, alon g with Ashland Coll ege and Bowling Green State University, the AAUW had sixty-eight branches and a membership of more than 8,000 in Ohio alone. Now thirty-four Ohio colleges are AAUW members. Comments Dean Whetro: "Many of our women graduates will welcome the news that they are now eligible to JOin the local chapter of the American Association of University Women. Particularly is it of value to the woman who moves to a new area of the country where she is separated from relatives and friends. The opportunity to become acquainted with other women who are college graduates gives her an outlet for serving in the comm unity as well as keeping mentally alert. AAUW chapters have various study programs to interest members along their own previous major and minor fields and to focus attention on community and world problems. Indirectly, local chapters help to provide the means for the national organization to promote fellowship programs with st ipends ranging from $2,000 to $5,000 to aid women scholars in advancement of higher degrees. Since 1888 the AA UW has awarded more than J ,400 such fellowships. We are glad that women graduates of the Un iversity of Dayton have the opportunity to join AAUW chapters.''

LET'S PICK UP v1s1tmg the chapters and reporting on national alumni ac tivities with the annual meeting of the association held in December. As reported previously, members of the national board , the athletic board, and advisory board were in attendance. We are proud to report representation from Canton, Cincinnati, Columbus, Xenia , Springfield, Toledo, Lima, Cleveland, Tiffin, Coldwater, Troy, Dayton, Sidney, and Indianapolis. Items of business included the annual report of the alumni secretary, statement of income on the tenth annual Support Program by Elwood Zimmer, director of development. Chapter activity reports were given by those in attendance. The Montgomery County and Cincinnati chapters presented written reports. Action was taken by the board that in the future all chapter reports be presented in writing with sufficient copies available for distribution . J ack Bramlage, national treasurer, presented chapter representatives with reimbursement checks for participation in the annual support drive. Each chapter is reimbursed one dollar for each participating member of the chapter in the annual support program . The Homecoming report included a special word of thanks

to all those who participated on committees, and special recognition for Brother Austin J. Holian and Jack Bramlage for their work on the departmental coffee hours and open house. Brother Holian reported on current construction on campus. Marycrest Residence Hall for Women , opened in August, 1963, has under construction two additional wings, and will accommodate a total of 900 girls when completed . Stuart Hall , men's residence, with its additions, will house 720. Currently 1,800 .students are residing in campus residence halls. By September, 2,500 students will be residing in the dorms. St. Joseph's Hall, good old "cardboard flats ," has been closed as a residence for students, and has been converted into faculty offices and some classrooms for drafting and engineering classes. Two wings are to be added to the Albert Emanuel Library. The University Health Center is another very critical building need. The Busi ness Administration Bldg., plans for which are in the hands of- architects, is be ing designed to secure a bigger and better building than originally planned. (Continued on page 8)

good guys, bad guys

by ANDREW M.

THE ROT CASSELLS '59 GOES ON AN OUTING When the University's ROTC sent its counter-insurgency platoon into a fi eld problem with a local reserve unit in January, The ALUMNUS called on its favor ite war correspondent and comba t photographer to cover the action. Here is his story . ..

On the western front , Yell ow Springs. -First I blamed it on the snow . .. then I blamed it on my boots . .. and finally I fell back on the old excuse of cigarettes. Whatever the reason, I knew I was falling farther and farther behind as 1 hoofed through the nearl y deserted John Bryan state park here . I was trying to keep up with about thirty-six fresh yo ung cadets from the U.D . ROTC detachment who had just started out on a weekend problem aga inst a band of well-trained Army reservists. Actually, it wasn't personal pride that made me want to keep the pace. You see, I had so me inside "G-2" that a n att ac k would be made at any minute, and I figured that even with my longest lens, I would have to be fairly close to get some pictures. When the shooting started, I bega n grinding away with my trusty 4

camera. The shots rang out in all directions and the cadets hit the dirt- excuse me, the snow- in true John Wayne fashion . Through it all , though , r kept wo ndering why the cadets didn't fire back. Well , in a few m inutes the attack ended and my question was answered -the attack had come before the problem officia lly started and the "good guys" didn't have their ammunition. Though the exercise began on this rather embarrassing note, it ended to the satisfaction of all concerned. The ROTC cadets taking part were members of a special volunteer counter-insurgency pl atoon within the U .D. brigade. For the purposes of the exercise they were the "good guys." They we re p itted against a like number of Army reserve Special Forces, commanded by Captain Russ Sweetman

Ringleader of the bad guys, Capt. Russ Sweetman '55.

The cadets got a briefing, but no ammunition , before the problem .

As the night wore on the shooting and the shouting increased in tempo _ When the Sunday sun broke over the horizon, however, both the swimming pool and the bridge were still intact, so I guess the good guys won . The biggest personal victory, though, came to the ROTC group's advisor, Captain Robert Ragains. When it came time to return to the campus on Sunday, the Captain announced proudly that he hadn't lost a single cadet! Problems of this type aren 't exactly new to the ROTC cadets. Last year they undertook a sim il ar exercise with Head for the bridge , men!

Here they learned such skills as the capturing, killing, and cooking of a chicken while living in the field - a far cry from the days when ROTC training was limited to map reading and disassembly of the M- l rifle . As instruction changes, so does the size of the detachment. Now commanded by Colonel Wilbur E . Showalter, the detachment numbers I ,700 students. About forty young graduates are scheduled to receive commissions in the spring graduation exercises. Some may question the value of a weekend training exercise, but one alert cadet said he learned a lot. "It taught

CASSELLS, in addition to being The ALUMNUS's favorite war correspondent , is also our favorite newscaster for Dayton radio and television station WHlO. Andy, married to alum na Dian Hermann '58, has been with WHlO for about six years now.

THE UNIVERSITY'S ROTC PROGRAM As Cassells suggests in his story, the ROTC program at the University has undergone many changes since its was established on the campus back in 1919. The Dayton unit is now the second largest (only Ohio State's is bigger) Army ROTC program in the entire XX Corps, which includes Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia, and at inspections each year by Second Army headquarters, the U.D. set-up draws high praise both for its physical plant and its instructional program. Just since 1950, a total of 740 officers have been commissioned through the University's unit. (The nationwide Army ROTC program is the largest source of both Regular a nd Reserve officers, supplying some 17,000 officers each year.) A feature of the U.D. program is flight training. Currently, fifteen senior cadets are learning to fly and to earn a n FAA certificate - at no cost to them. On entering active duty, they take further training which will increase their pay by more than one hundred dollars a month .

With the University's new three-term calendar now in operation, ROTC courses will be offered for sophomores and juniors during the summer, in addition to the usual summer camp program. This will bring on a new flexibility in a military student's academic and training program. Comments Col. Wilbur E. Showalter, now completing his first year as professor of military science: "The U.D. ROTC program is a dynamic one. The cadets are not yet battle hardened experts, but they have learned some of the lessons of hardship, skill , and discipline from which leaders are made ... "We all should be proud of these fine young Americans. We need more of this type, dedicated in an active, constructive ROTC program . .. I hope aU alumni will continue to support this worthwhile program for young men at a critical stage of their lives. I would be delighted for alumni to write, call, or visit us at any time for further information .. ."

He has continued these activities through the years, serving today with a number of such social agency groups. A few years ago, Deane W. Malott, president of Cornell University, penned his feelings about the "teacher." The ALUMNUS feels he must have had men like Maurie

Reichard and Ed Huth in mind. He wrote: " . . . above all in importance is the teaching art, the desire to be with and among young people, the ability to inspire and stimulate them, to give something of one's self, to show them the world as the teacher views it, to transmit a bit of the character, and integrity , and idealism under which the teacher lives. Thus the inspired leader lives on in the lives of his students long after the material he has propounded is lost to memory or has been supplanted by later theories or new knowledge, in the changing world of which we are all a part ...

VISITING THE CHAPTERS (Continued from page 3)

Paul Heckman, alumni pre ident, stated he has plans for appointing committees within the national framework of the alumni association. Some of these will include: Booster Club, Educational chairman , Social chairman, Homecoming reunion chairman, and a Luncheon club committee. He also mentioned that the national constitution of the alumni association is being revised. The second annual International Communion Sunday took place Feb. 16, - the first Sunday of Lent . Monsignors Robert J . Sherry and Frank S. Smith , both members of this year's golden anniversary class, served as honorary cochairmen . Last year we had eighteen scheduled events ; this year, twenty-two. Nice work! We are proud of you. God willing, next year some of the other chapters will arrange for the third annual event and provide an opportunity for others to join spiritually with alumni everywhere. Now the next big task is visiting the chapters on the eleventh annual Support Program . The cooperation so willingly given and assistance so full y extended to your alumni ecretary and others working on this project is most gratifying. This year again the University of Dayton is cooperating with the Independent College Alumni Associates (ICAA) of Ohio in nine citie . So, here we go, off and running again ... Monday , Feb. 3, found us in Akron , with the kickoff scheduled for the Sheraton-Mayflower. John Niekamp '58 organized the campaign ; Tuesday, Feb. 4,

Canton, with Tom Ebner '58 and Jim Anderson '60 serving as co-chairmen, with the kickoff at the Mergus Restaurant ; Wednesday, Feb. 5, Youngstown with Dennis Andrich '61 serving as our contact man for the kickoff at the Mural Room. Then back to the office for a short time before the Toledo campaign , Feb . I 8, with Don Greive '54 and Chuck Shinaver '58 as co-chairmen, at the Toledo Club. From Toledo we stopped off in Columbus on Feb. I 9 for the kickoff at the orth American Aviation recreation center. Tom Harrigan '52, Joe Al spaugh '6 I, and Don Seifert '52 are spearheading the Columbus drive. The next ICAA city was Cincinnati, where the drive began March 9 at the Netherland-Hilton. Tod Egan '56 is chairman this year, assisted by the board of directors of the Cincinnati chapter. On Tuesday, March I 0, the Dayton campaign got under way. As you know , Tom Maher '39 and Mark J. Smith '52 are co-chairmen of the eleventh annual Support Program . That about wraps it up for this time. If you have any suggestions, constructive or otherwise, on "Visiting the Chapters," please feel free to express yourselves.

Dayton climate

ecumenism in the Dayton community took a leap forward early this year with

THE VISIT OF AN ARCHBISHOP

By John J. Kelley, S.M.

BISHOP REUBEN H. MUELLER, president of the National Council of Churches (left), Archbishop Karl J. Alter, and Dr. Walter N. Roberts, president of the United Theological Seminary (right), chat before the Archbishop's historic address at the seminary.

A RIPPLE OF EXCITEMENT passed through the Dayton community in January as the Archbishop of Cincinnati paid an historic visit to the United Theological Seminary of this city. This seminary of the Evangelical United Brethren, once known as Bonebrake Seminary, played host to the Most Rev. Karl J. Alter as guest of honor in two significant assemblies. The informal supper meeting brought together some sixty religious leaders from the area. A later evening session brought more than five hundred selected persons to hear an address by the Archbishop on the workings of the Second Vatican Council. The enthusiasm of the participants and the warming hospitality of Dr. Walter N. Roberts, Seminary president, prompt us to ask: how was this possible? How could it happen? Within the larger framework of the world situation, significant occurences of the last five years have made possible many events which would have been unthinkable five years ago: the pontificate of John XXIII and the presidency of John F. Kennedy have been two of the most important factors which have influenced the global situation. But on the campus of the University of D ayton and within the community of which the University is a part, the climate has been changed by a number of wonderful events. It is these events, seen in a rather general way, that we would review in this article, and suggest that without them, the Archbishop's visit might very well never have come about. Three different kinds of events seem to have made possible the "Dayton climate." These events were either of the order of biblical exchange, or social action projects, or ecumenical experiences. Some of them came to our campus; some of them took our campus to the community.

Let us glance back at the principal features of a sparkling five years. In 1959, under the sure intuitions of Father William Cole of the department of theological studies, the first of the biblical exchanges brought Father William Maly, professor of Old Testament at Mount St. Mary's Seminary, Cincinnati, to our campus for a talk on "Evolution and the Bible." The lecture was weU attended and for the first time of many, Wohlleben auditorium was filled. On this occasion there was a scholarly exposition of the relations of Genesis and science. This same year, in a break from the traditional presentations of the Religion Evening Series (later tagged the Religion in Life series by the lay council which directs this exciting operation), one set of lectures took up the tensions in Christianity by discussing chapters of Father John Bardon's 路book on Christianity in Conflict. Another lecture, timely with the presidential elections, was presented by Brother Richard Liebler of the department of political science, on the question, "A Catholic for President?" Harbingers of what was to come were seen in the invitation of a local Protestant congregation for a repeat performance of this lecture. Other openings favoring better community contact came from the Unitarians in Kettering who invited U.D. philosophers Dr. Richard Baker and the late Dr. James Summers to speak on the religions of the ancients. In 1960, two series of lectures along biblical lines brought renowned scholars to discuss the bible as history . Fathers Barnabas Mary Ahern, C.P., John L. McKenzie, S.J., Carroll Stuhlmueller, C.P., and Robert Siebeneck, C.PP.S., joined our list of occasional guests, and the tapes of their lectures began what was to become an impressive list of lectures in the University's tape lending library. 9

' ' It is my judgment that this meeting (with Archbishop A Iter at the United Theological Seminary) was the most significant gathering of Christians I have experienced here at this school in the twenty-five years that I have been president . A new day has dawned. We are keenly aware that the Holy Spirit was present. -Dr. Walter N . Roberts, President, United Theological Seminary

The first interfaith contacts came in the same year. Protestant scholar Dr. Walter M. Horton of Oberlin College opened a tripart series called "Venture in Understanding." His lecture was followed by another by Rabbi Selwyn Ruslander of Dayton who opined that his lecture was an historic event by reason of the closure of the hostile gap which has separated Christianity from Judaism for hundreds of years. Finally a lecture was given by Jesuit Father John J. Wenzel of Xavier University. On the last speaker, some wags suggested that this was just too much . On the other side of town, the United Theological Seminary (U.T.S.) began a quiet move to bring Catholic scholarship onto its campus, and applauded a lecture by our own beloved Father Edwin Leimkuhler, for several years departmental chairman of religion , on the subject of the Church . This topic has gradually come to be recognized as the most central of all the problematic questions, a mystery which Vatican II itself would take up . In the fall of 1961 , the World Council of Churches held its international meeting at New Delhi. It was the first world session at which Catholic observers were present with an official mission . The climate created by the presence and reporting of these observers made possible further growth . The Seminary's Dr. Roberts was a delegate to thi Council , and the U.D. campus was favored to have a report from him , given on two separate occasions. New patterns began to take shape on the campus: there was a consciousness of the need to include non-Catholic scholars in every program, a need to open new doors of communication, to open windows for fresh air of under10

standing. The winter lecture series saw a program of dialogs over the problems of history and theology around which the earlier Councils of the Church had met. Monsignor Martin Gilligan and Dean Bruce Behney of the Seminary helped to launch the new format of the dialog. which was to draw , among others, U.D. alumnus C . King Bradow, Lutheran minister, and Dr. Harold Grimm, chairman of the department of history, both of Ohio State University . One of the sparks for the success of these conversations on the Church was the cooperation of the U.D . department of history and its chairman, Dr. Wilfred J . Steiner. I was privileged in 1961 to play a small part in this community growth . At the gracious invitation of the faculty at U.T.S., I was permitted to be present for the training sessions of the ministers at their annual institute. Many walls were demolished in relaxed communications, and we were able to have their guest lecturer, Rev. Graham Hardy of Scotland, speak on our campus on the psychology of religion in a modern age. Invitation invites invitations: during the months following, Dr. Arthur Core, advisor to the ecumenical group of U .T.S. seminarians, invited me to speak on the significance of Vatican II. I thoroughly enjoyed giving a lecture on the changes projected under the topic of decentralization in the Church . In retrospect, I am pleased to say that the importance of decentralization has increased in my mind and is one of the most vital izing aspects of the Council's aggiornamento. Dr. Donald Gorrell, U.T.S. professor of church history, has also conducted seminars on the position of the Roman

' ' Will the Protestant and Catholic churches ever unite? If it would occur, it would be a miracle. But I believe in miracles. -Dr. Reuben H . Mueller, Senior Bishop, Evangelical United Brethren, and President, National Council of Churches

Catholic Church. He has asked and been given glad assistance in delicate areas as Church-State relations, by myself, and the problems of Mariology, by Father Cole. One other bond (which did not seem important at the time) has grown strong in creating community confidence in the University as a forum for frank discussions of pertinent issues. This was the University lecture on the morality of the 1ohn Birch Society. It seemed a signal to the Protestants of the community that we meant to speak the truth to the best of our ability, and would be given the freedom to do so. They applauded. We waved a return salute to their leadership in social action and civil liberties. In the civic community, it has been the warm leadership of Dr. Willis Ford, executive secretary of the Church Federation of Greater Dayton, which has been the source of considerable growth in understanding and mutual cooperation. Besides showing himself knowledgeable in areas of civic interest, social justice, and interracial cooperation, Dr. Ford has been among the first to show us areas of common interest and possible cooperation. He has initiated, at least in part, and sustained the effort of community dialog through monthly meetings of interested members of the clergy of all faiths. At the time the civic community was greatly concerned with the rightist approach to Communism, the University served as a forum for a responsible analysis of the danger of Communism. This was done by a variety of members of the Jewish, Protestant, and Catholic elements. Dr. Newell Wert, professor of social ethics and now dean of U.T.S., helped to balance this project as well as others.

Another biblical series just last year focused on "The People of God in the Scriptures." Methodist David Noel Freedman of Pittsburgh helped to launch this series, and it has been gratifying to see this term, "the people of God," used more and more in the reports coming from Vatican II. Monsignor William L. Newton of Elyria was a new face on campus in this series on the biblical approach to the Church. Another series which showed preoccupation with the social nature of man was labeled "The Person and Society," and brought the doctrine of the Church, especially Mater et Magistra , to bear on our generalized maladjustments. Two series on "ecumenism" were offered, one in 1962 on the first session of Vatican II and another in 1963 on the ecumenical movement. The University was favored on both occasions by a presentation by the Auxiliary Bishop of Cincinnati, an alumnus most generous with his time in this, his native community, the Most Rev. Paul F. Leibold. As a Father of the Council , he gave very thorough statements on the workings of the Council. In both instances it was found necessary to move the presentation from the three-hundred-seat Wohlleben auditorium to the Fieldhouse. There some seven hundred persons heard his " prognosis," and a year later heard an interfaith panel discuss with him the significance of the work of the Council. Another campus visitor during this period was the colorful Augustinian Father Gregory Baum of the Canadian ecumenical center in Toronto. In the fall of 1963 another series, under the coordination 11

' ' One of the reasons Christian truth and ideals have lost so much of their influence in fashioning the character and quality of our present-day civilization is that, for centuries now, we have had a divided Christian Church . A thousand years ago there was a split between the Christians of the East and those of the West. For a thousand years the Orthodox Catholics and the Roman Catholics have gone their separate ways. Here in lhf West we suffered the unfortunate religious division of the sixteenth century. Christianity as a result became fra gmented; and the centrifugal influence which came into existence has endured now for hundreds of years. Within the past few decades, however, this tendency to divide and subdivide has come to a halt and the process has been reversed. We are on our way to unity once more. -Most Rev. Karl J. Alter, Archbishop of Cincinnati

of Mrs. Roger Ruppert and her lay council-which council has assumed the challenge of full authority in the Religion in Life series- presented the effort for peace : a special series focused on man in society by meditating on Pacem in Terris. Two other areas might be mentioned as significant: the Communion class of Fairmont Presbyterian Church since 1961 has come to campus to observe a Catholic "communion service" and has thus opened doors to discussions on the liturgy. This has broadened as Catholic interest in the liturgy has increased, and the visitations between congregations have continued . During these years efforts were also going out to the Jewish community by visitation of their synagogues, dialog with their Rabbis, and presence at their annual Ministers' Institute. One member of the University faculty who has opened doors through interest in language and biblical studies is Brother Gerard Sullivan of the department of languages. Brother Sullivan has been a guest for several years at the Ministers' Institute of Temple Israel. Finally, the most recent and most significant address of the Archbishop gives us hope for continuing growth. He

personally brought out the need for the dialog in his address, and thus gave encouragement to the many pastors and ministers to examine together the areas of possible collaboration. He also stressed the dynamic nature of the Church, placing function in priority to the hierarchic arrangement. This stress on the dynamic mission of the Church is precisely what makes it possible for men to come together in common cause. The work must continue. This semester will see a special series on the Holy Land, with purpose in part to see the workings of Christians with Islam and Judaism, as a part of the whole. Greater awareness of the roots of Christian faith, greater awareness of its obligations to the reconstruction of the social order in working with non-Catholics will certainly increase. The invitation to responsible commitment will grow ; it is to be hoped that the visit of an Archbishop will not have been a turning point but only one point of increasing understanding and growth in charity. Other cities are looking to Dayton for a formula: perhaps the University and the local Seminary will be able to say what the formula of community growth must be.

FATHER KELLEY, well known assistant professor of theological studies at the University, has been one of the trailblazers in the ecumenica l activity in the Dayton community. He gave the invocation at the historic lecture by the Archbishop at United Theological Seminary and was a moderator of a question and answer session following that well received presentation.

HORAN

TWO ENTER ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME

@ 速

WILLIAM A. ( BILL) BLAKE "26 and JOHN HORAN '55 became last month the thirteenth and fourteenth mem-

bers of the two-year-old University of Dayton Athletic Hall of Fame. The two join HARRY SOLIMANO '07, AL MAHRT ' 12, LOU MAHRT '26, SAM HIPA '28, STAN CORBETT '3 5, JACK PADLEY '40, BERNARD KElTER '42, BILL KNISLEY '47, DON MEINEKE '52, and CHUCK NOLL '53, all selected in the original ten in 1962, and HERB EISELE '26 and JUNIOR NORRIS '5 2, inducted last winter. The selection committee, which met last fall to go over nominees submitted from a poll of U.D. al umni , included representatives of Alumni Association, the association's Montgomery County chapter which sponsors the Hall , the department of athletics, and Dayton newspapers. Bl ake, traffic engineer at Inland Manufacturing Division of General Motors in Dayton, won eleven letters at U.D. He came from West Catholic High School in Phil adelphia and is the eighth Hall of Fame athlete who was coached by Harry Ba uj an, now the University 's at hletic director. He lettered four years in basketball and baseball and three in football. Horan, in sales with NCR , played on the basketball varsity from 1951-52 through 1954-55, and is the third eager coached by Tom Bl ackb urn to enter the Hall of Fame. He became a starter in his freshman year after

coming from St. Thomas Military Academy in St. P a ul , Minn. His home was in Minneapolis. Blake is considered one of the finest all-around athletes his former coach, Harry Baujan, has ever seen . Says Baujan, "Whatever sport he played he excelled in it. He was a great punter in football, a fine shot in basketball , and a wonderful catcher in baseball." When he graduated in 1926, he was the recipient of the Scholar-Athlete gold medal , and received his diploma magna cum laude in mech anical engineering. Beca use of the trend toward specialization since World War II , Horan played only basketball. However, he was considered an all-around basketball player and was particul arly strong in the clutch. He is the second highest scorer in U .D. history with I ,757 points and was a topflight free throw shooter, holding the highest foul shooting percentage at .802 in one season. He holds the career rebounding record of 1,341 a nd was a good defensive player . He was named to AllOhio a nd All-Midwest teams in his last two years, was all-NIT center in 1953-54, a nd made some All-American mention in his senior year. As Don Donoher, a teammate of Horan 's and new assistant to Blackburn , puts it: " Horan had to adjust to a forward spot because he had played center in prep school. He made the move well because he put all he had into the game. He even went to guard once against Louisville and operated the freeze to win the game. That was the kind of player John was ." 15

HIGGINS IS FAMILIAR FACE IN "ARREST AND TRIAL"

THAT familiar face you've been seeing in ABC's popular Sunday night drama, "Arrest and Trial," belongs to the University's own JOE HIGGINS '49. There probably isn't a phase of show business not experienced by veteran actor Higgins, who plays Jake Shakespeare, the versatile inn-keeper and advisor to the show's attorney Chuck Connors. Since he decided to go into entertainment some thirty years ago, Higgins has done almost everything. He started as a radio staff announcer on WGN, Chicago, in 1934, and later moved to WLS there. He worked as an actor, director, and writer in those early years. In summers, Higgins took time off from broadcasting to act as a clown for the Cole Brothers Circus and also worked in a variety of other entertainment jobs. He was a booker and advance man for dance bands and also put together a troupe of youngsters to entertain in Veterans hospitals and orphanages. Higgins has appeared in the national company productions of "Finian's Rainbow" in the title role and as Mr. Lundie in "Brigadoon." He has also made a number of appearances in off-Broadway and summer stock. He gave up the stage in the early 1950's to manage a

hotel chain, but even then , he found time to do TV commercials and dabble in film s. Since taking up residence in Hollywood in recent years, Higgins has appeared in many TV productions and feature motion pictures. In addition to his acting chores, he is vice president of Chuck Connor's Ranch Productions Company.
