THE UNIVERSITY OF DA VTON
ALUMNUS FALL, 1966
U. D.- The Coziness Gone; An Explosion Here By Rev. CHAR LES J. LEES, S.M . Provost, University of Dayton
• The University of Dayton in the year 1937 - a quiet, cozy, little campus of 2,000 students, with a faculty composed of priests and Brothers, a few Sisters, and a sprinkling of laymen. Classes were concentrated in a small area - St. Mary's Hall, St. Joseph's Hall, Chaminade Hall, the gym, and the Library just a stone's throw away. Alumni Hall and St. Joseph's Hall were the only dormitories on campus, and the religious faculty lived here, there, and everywhere. The University of Dayton in the year 1966- a World War and a population explosion later- a busy, bristling, urban campus, of almost 10,000 students, outgrowing its acreage, as one building after another springs up. The old buildings still stand, venerable as ever, but St. Mary's is exclusively for administration, and Chaminade Hall for the School of Education. The School of Business Administration now occupies modern quarters in Miriam Hall. The School of Engineering operates a sprawling program around the campus, but the new multimillion Engineering and Research Building is on the drawing board. The Sherman Hall of Science was constructed in 1960, and Wohlleben Hall in 1958. A modern ROTC building has replaced the World War I shack, and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Union and the University Fieldhouse are centers of extracurricular activities. Several dormitories, all larger than Alumni Hall, have been added .
350 TEACHERS With a full-time faculty of more than 350 teachers, the Brothers and priests are outnumbered by laymen three to one. Several Sisters are on the faculty, and about fifty laywomen. A third of the faculty hold doctorate degrees, with a great many more on the road to obtaining such a degree. The College of Arts and Sciences alone includes twenty-three departments. Part of the academic excitement on campus stems from the vigorous new life of the Graduate Program. The Program, discontinued after World War II, was reactivated in 1960. The College of Arts and Sciences offers ten graduate programs, and the School of Education five. The M.B.A. program is the fastest growing on campus . Several departments are already talking in terms of doctoral degrees.
THE LIBRARY
• .
The area of most vital concern is the Library. The Library, too, has made tremendous advances in the past few years, presently holding over 200,000 books. But, with the knowledge explosion, where the amount of information extent multiplies voluminously every year, the University of Dayton, like many another institution, is faced with a library crisis. The President has appointed a faculty committee, under the chairmanship of the Vice President, to study what the library of 1970 should embody . Will the present concept of the library be outmoded, giving way to the computer? If so, the University of Dayton wants to prepare for the change. In any event, the library crisis must be met and solved. Enthusiastic academic undertakings swarm on campus. In consort with other colleges in the area, the Department of Theological Studies has devised a plan to bring national and international thinkers to campus. The present program of Judaic Studies will possibly become an endowed institute. The School of Education, in consort with other colleges, plans a new graduate program to train specialists in educational research. This past summer, four government supported institutes were conducted on campus - in history, mathematics, chemistry, and Spanish . The Department of Political Science has inaugurated a program for police administration, and is likewise participating with other universities in the area to exchange faculty. The Research Institute continues to grow. The Technical Institute has both a twoyear and a four-year program. An honors program and a studies abroad program are being vigorously pursued. The University of Dayton in 1966 - "stormy, husky, brawling . .. bareheaded, shoveling, wrecking, planning, building, wrecking, rebuilding." A campus alive, earnest, meaningfully discontented, questioning, restless. A University humble with newly discovered power and responsibility, running on the road to excellence.

the editor
speaks By JOE McLAUGHLIN
Visual aids were part of History Institute.
Man! What a short, hot, inspiring and thrilling summer on the UD campus. I took a double take on that written statement. Could I really mean it? It does sound a bit far fetched since, for 24 years, I've travelled to many parts of the world and the United States as a navy man, sports writer and UD sports information director. It may be hard to believe that events on 76-acres of ground could thrill after the world has spread before one's eyes for so long a time. But, I feel that way. Only people and events could make this possible. It might have been the newness of these people and these events which captured the imagination. It certainly has been a demanding challenge. The fede rally-supported study institutes, the Marianist Mission Institute, the Religious Variety Show, the Kennedy Union Art exhibits, Religion in Life Series, the Headstart program, the two productions by the UD Players and the Summer concerts among other activities leave a wonderful impression. The men and women behind these programs were vibrant, competent and dedicated people. They've contributed to my education. Their zeal made this campus alive during June, July and August. We no longer have the quiet, little campus many of you visited in previous summers. This is a yeararound operation , triggered by the tri-mester academic program, the summer institutes and the more than 500 nuns continuing their education. A visit to the Spanish Institute was enough to stimulate one's imagination . Required to speak the language at all times the first floor of Miriam Hall sounded like the lobby of a Latin American hotel. Dr. James Ferrigno of Languages,
Dr. Kenneth Schraut of Mathematics Institute
the Institute director, was a bundle of nerves as he moved through the classroom periods, the coffee breaks and lunch. The strum of a guitar and the thrill of singing voices were a break from the routine . Around the corner the history institute had established its visual aids room, an area which contained several thousand dollars' worth of equipment to stimulate the teaching of history and related subj ects . Dr. Wilfred Steiner, the director, displayed his knowledge of this equipment to all who were interested in seeing maps made immediately, pictures and pages of material flashed on a screen, and a dozen other aids came into existence . Dr. Steiner's quiet instruction broug ht this all into focus rather easily. The Mathematics Institute , directed by Dr. Kenneth

Betty Payne makes a point in Headstart Program.
Schraut, and the Chemistry Institute, under the tutelage of Dr. S. L. Eveslage, were across the way in Sherman and Wohlleb en halls. Thirty years in sports doesn't qualify a man for the understanding of group, integral or equation terms in math, or molecules in motion and the treating of atomic materials in chemistry. But these were patient, enjoyable men whose indu lgence brought the uninitiated over the rough spots . At least the news stories, I understand, made sense . Nora Duffy, Director of Special Sessions; Father Hoelle and Barb in the Marian Library were the contacts for the Marianist Institute where, among the studies, nuns, priests, brothers and laymen were learning the rudiments of flying an aircraft. Howard Powders, who flew fighters off aircraft carriers in World War II , was the pilot, instructor and man who was getting the United Missionary Training and Transport program off th e ground for aspirant flying mission aries of all faiths. That little bundle of energy Mrs. Elizabeth Payne of Home Economics was a hard one to slow down for information on the federal Headstart program which was assigned to her for three weeks . Geared to leach instructors of preschool children, Mrs. Payne had enlisted the aid of experts in many fields for her three-week cram co urse of prospective Headstart instructors . Robert Kriegbaum conducted his Business Systems and Data Processing Workshop , Mary Civille and Velma Miller held the Business Education Workshop and Dr. Mary Jo Huth was director of a sociology workshop. These projects added to the number of peop le from around the country who studied in UD classrooms th is summer. Outside the classroom, there was a Religion in Life Series with discussions on Morals on Campus by Catholic and Pro-

The UD players enjoyed success with a drama, General Seeger, and a comedy-fantasy, Beggar on Horseback, with many patient but enjoyable directing hours by Pat Gilvary and Ray Mullins. The Religious Variety Show was a wonderful respite for the nuns, priests and brothers who served as performers and audience. Bowling leagues helped here too. Oh, there were so many other things but the writing has to stop somewhere. This is as good a place as any. From now on we think of the school year, Homecoming, Arts Series and the other events so much a part of the UD campus during the first two terms.

Georges Rouault's Miserere Etchings were well received.
SPECIAL GRANTS Two academic areas at the University of Dayton benefited by grants from the federal government and from a private foundation in late June and early July. The University received an additiona l $145,268 for its proposed five-story engineering/research building. The Department of Secondary Education of the School of Education received three federal grants for the following: fellowships toward a master high school chemistry teacher program; for faculty development, library resources and curricula improvement; and for research for emotionally disturbed children. The School of Education was awarded $75,000 by the Kettering Fund Inc. for scholarship aid and for teacher development. The additional monies for the engineering/ research complex brought the total grant to $937,124 for the first two floors or the undergraduate portion of the proposed fi\•estory $6,579,654 structure. The top three floors will be for the engineering graduate program and for research. A part of the training of the eight fellows in the Department of Secondary Education will include individual tutoring of culturally disadvantaged but intellectually capable young people and teaching on the University's closed circuit television. These last efforts will be video-taped. They also will have an opportunity to participate in the Dayton Board of Education's Operation Achievement. The institutional assistance grant amounts to $14,600 and will be used to complement the funds already available for the Department's master high school teacher graduate program. The program for emotionally disturbed children is made possible through an $8,400 grant and will be conducted in cooperation with Robert R. Ritchie, Superintendent of the Tipp City Exempted Village Schools. It is designed to study the effects of non-directive group therapy on reading, arithmetic and language skills of children in this classification. Rev. Charles J. Lees, S.M., University Provost, in revealing the grant from the Kettering Fund , said: "The grant received from the Kettering Fund could not have come at a more opportune time. Education is on the threshold of a breakthrough into new approaches to the whole teachinglearning area. This sum will enable UD to study and evaluate challenging pedagogical innovations."
MBA GROUP james A. Riley, ' 50, contracts manager at Technology, Inc., has been elected president of the Graduate Business Association at the University of Dayton. Riley, who resides at 6141 Flemington Rd. , Washington Township, succeeds Eugene Linsker, '42, chief design engineer at Rockwell Manufacturing Co. The association, organized a year ago on the campus, is composed of students in the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program. Its purposes are to support and aid the improvement of the MBA program; to enhance public awareness of the importance of the MBA program to the community; to provide a means for the free exchange of information and ideas between students, faculty, and graduates; and to help build and maintain among the graduate students a professional business attitude. Three other officers were re-elected. They include Frank Kiernan, '65, general manager of Dayton Flexible Products, vice president; Robert Ellis, '65, full-time graduate student, secretary; and Wilbur Perkins, '61, of Lybrand, Ross Brothers and Montgomery, treasurer.
Dolores MeA nespie, left, and Mrs. Owen McCall, right, are now Administrative Assistants to the Vice President for Public Relations and Development Director respectively. Secretaries in these offices from 1949 and 1955 respectively Dee and Katie will accept responsibility for many of the things which will keep the alumni, parents and friends of the University up-todate on alumni activities, university functions and fund-raising campaigns. Dee becomes an assistant editor to Joe McLaughlin of the ALUMNUS magazine and will handle the Class Notes section . She will write and edit, with the cooperation of Mr . McLaughlin, this favorite phase of the publication. She will also see that all Public Relations records are kept up-to-date . Mrs. McCall will conduct the affairs of the Development office in the same way.
EXPRESSED GOAL The development of an honors program at the University is the expressed goal of the newly-appointed Honors Program Committee, headed by Bro . George Ruppel, S.M. , professor of history. "We feel the timP. has come for this development," says Bro. Ruppel , whose committee was appointed by Rev. Charles J. Lees, University Provost. "There have been honors courses available to students, but there has been little coordinated effort in this direction throughout the University. "Our committee," continues Bro. Ruppel, "is strictly advisory. The content of an honors program is in the hands of the departments. We can, however, achieve coordination through the dissemination of information on honors courses already established , by supplying knowlege of honors courses, sections , credits and programs in other universities, by urging our people to structure honors courses , and by encouraging the development of an honors program. The committee, in an effort to explain the full value of an honors program to a University, had Dr. Samuel Jasper, Director of the Honors College at Ohio University, speak on "Honors in College and Universities" at the first faculty meeting, Wednesday , September 14. The honors committee gave a history of honors programs in Ohio and nationally, presented the differences and similarities in honors courses , programs and colleges, and showed how the student, as well as involved and noninvolved faculty, is helped by honors plans. The committee, besides Bro. Ruppel , consists of Prof. jerome Bauer of Chemical Engineering, Prof. Mary Civille of the School of Business Administration , Dr. Donald R. Geiger, S.M., of Biology, Dr. Ellis Joseph of the School of Education, and Prof. Lawrence Ruff of English .

THE ARTS SERIES: A DIFFERENT DOOR By F. ANTHONY MACKLIN, Assistant Professor, Department of English
A university is known by the company it cultivates: on its faculty , in the business world, on the athletic field, in its cultural events . Culture can be a vague, debatable area; what is significant for one person may be meaningless to another. Culture is many times amorphous and subjective; but it gives a university an identity. The worst stigma for a university is provincialism, the closing of its doors to the world . One thing that keeps these doors open and spacious is the men and women who create the world beyond the chalk. A university is essentially theory; a cultural series brings it to practice. The University of Dayton has accepted the importance of this and has been fortunate in its visitors. They have brought moments that any university might envy; experiences that were original , creative, and special. The Arts Series, under the direction of Rev . George B. Barrett, Vice President, has come to a growth and maturity that have enabled it to change from a required assembly to a voluntary engagement. It is no longer something forced; it is something desired. This year the series will move out of the fieldhouse and away from the bald hour of Wednesday noon . It will take place in the evening in the facilities of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Union. It has come of age and has evolved into a new character.

As it embarks upon its new day, it does so on the basis of its finer moments . I would like to recall some of them, not all of which took place on the stage. Perhaps the best lecture was one given last spring by Arthur Schlesinger Jr., noted historian, author of A Thousand Days , and confidant of President Kennedy. His talk was intelligent, unified, and pertinent. In a time of trembling or bravado , Schlesinger covered the Vietnam abyss with knowledge and logic . What is remarkable about the man is that he eschewed all burlesque and avoided the cuteness that is so often the winning tool of the lecturer. He was not attempting to be popula r ; he had a well developed thesis and made it sound. He offered intellect instead of craft, and he made it work. The Art Series has at times b ee n a forum for iconoclasts, and Schlesinger was the best of them. His thesis was that the "essential thing about history is its inscrutability." He challenged what he thought to be the three basic myths of American attitudes. First was the myth of superior American moral virtue (Churchill's statement that the United States was the "least sordid" of countries). The second myth Schlesinger questioned was the myth of
Emlyn Willia ms, bombastic, sly, tender
The Romeros, ench anting
American omnipotence-supreme power. Third was the myth of American omniscience, the typical American's belief in America's ability to foretell the future. The historian gave the example of the shift from an earlier attitude on the part of the Soviet Union as its status changed and it saw it had different things to lose. He wondered at the possibility of a change in the attitudes of Communist China as it progresses to a new position . If Schlesinger was quiet in his approach, it was because he had achieved a style that protected him from being mere jester. Schlesin ger is a dry purse of a man, not dazzling but pointedly brilliant. He calmly- mincingly-chopped up absolutes. The important thing for the audience was that before them was an intellectual, a man who helped to form and put into use the pattern of history . It was an experience not easily come by. One of the fascinating qualities of the great is their personality-their style, grace or detachment. Robert Penn Warren has to be one of the most gracious men to ever visit the campus. Warren, author of the Pulitzer prize winning novel All the King's Men, as well as The Cave, Who Speaks for the Negro and many other works, gave an unusual, meandering poetry reading. Although he was not organized and was not easily followed, he was forgiven by a receptiv e audience because of the naturalness of his style . It was Southern with deep, swift colorations. After the reading, Warren showed himself to be an inveterate story teller. He sat with thinning red hair, burnished features, web-like eye lids, weaving his eloquent hands like a Tennessee Socrates . v:'arren wa~ wise. and witty . He was able to join a faculty soc1al gathenng w1thout unease-friendly, interested, yet always with a sage dignity. He had the gift of patience; he was able to listen intently to someone who pedantically wanted to tell him things that he had already heard a hundr ed times. Warren was also elusively playful. When he was asked about the repetition of the cow in his work, he said with a wink "I just like cows." Perhaps the student audience realized that when you get too close to an artist, he 'll cuff yo u back with a quip. The artist for a moment became less believable and ultimately more human. !he faltering and human fraility of the great is somethmg that an arts series may at times expose. Stephen Spender gave a lecture and obviously viewed the session as nothing more than a job. Another poet, W. H. Auden, who was ~ painful .failure in his poetry reading-victim of the acoustics and h1s own introspection-glowed in smaller meetings with the students. In the fieldhouse his bohemian dress clashed with the basket-laden arena. He was unable to bridge the distance. But face to face , he was able to communicate .
Some have been able to create their own intimacy; others have not. Minstrel Richard Dyer-Bennet and the guitarist family the Rom eros enchanted the audience. But Basil Rathbone's gay and guileful performance was lost to many because of mechanical problems . The Dayton Civic Ball et and Dayton Philharmonic are always well received. But the magic in th e performing arts has been in an individual's ability to stun. Emlyn Williams created the characters of Dickens. He was bombastic, sly, and tender. The small , frail actor be came huge and heroic on stage. But the artist who created the greatest intimacy was an African woman who appeared at the university on a Sunday night four years ago. A sparse, scattered audience arrived to hear a concert of ethnic and folk music. As the performance began the audience realized that it was to be an unusual occasion, a ravishing one that comes seldom in a lifetime. The woman was Miriam Makeba. Perhaps it was the size of the audience that made them feel a responsibility to applaud more than they might ordinarily. But the more they applauded, the more Miriam Makeba deserved it. She became a lithe, swart Artemis-a being of incredible grace and virtuosity. The spirit of the evening became inexpressible, but no one who was there will ever forget it. The arts series can now build on a past that ranges from sober logic to musical ecstacy. Each person has his own memories, and many share the hope that the university culture will continue to becom e more vigorous and more defined by the force of genius from beyond the doors of Academe.

THE NCAA STORY SOMETIMES CONTROVERSIAL BUT BRINGING SANITY TO COLLEGE ATHLETICS By WILES HALLOCK Public Relations Director National Collegiate Athletic Association
What's the first thought that crosses your mind when you see the initials NCAA? Is it noble or fraught with irritation , perhaps downri ght anger? Or is there any thought at all? In case you're in the latter category, NCAA stands for National Collegiate Athletic Association. If more knowledgeable about competitive sport to begin with, the connotation yo u attach to the initials may vary from considerable pride (if you're an NCAA champion or have served the NCAA as an officer or committee member) to one of downright dislike or worse (if you are in the AAU hiera rchy or your university has just been put on probation for a violation of NCAA rules and regulations.) If the NCAA evokes neit her a cheer nor a sneer, you should at least know that it is a volunteer service organization made up of faculty and athletic administrators of its 571 member colleges and universities (including every college and university with a major athletic program) banded togeth er at the national level to see to it that collegiate athletics is conducted within the framework of higher e ducation. To be more specific about NCAA composition and aims, executive director Walter Byers , who at 44 has been at the same job 15 years, would put it this way: "It's important to remember that the NCAA is composed of all colors, shapes and forms. Our memb e rship has more than doubled since 1950. We are small, private institutions , municipall y- supported schools, church- related colleges, large state universities and federally-supported institutions such as our service academies. "All flavors of sentiment, feelings and viewpoints, both about education and athletics exist within our membership. To a degree , we are in contradiction b eca use basically the NCAA is a service organization, conducting championships, publishing official playing rules, providing medical insurance and conducting research, while at the same time we are a legislative and control body through which the membership passes rules and then disciplines itself. "Our basic objectives are simple: "Keep athletics within educational control and within the educational concept. Intercollegiate athletics is a volatile, emotional, yes, inspirational activity which generates intense enthusiasm and which must be rather strictly regulated or outside forces will corrupt it and take it over. It is the NCAA's aim to eliminate these undesirable influences and controls, at the same time adopting rules to provide a reasonable degree of equality of competition among its members. These rules must be such that conscientious administrators will have confidence that their application and enforcement are reasonable both for them and their sister institutions." It is sometimes perverse psychology which puts blame on the NCAA for the re latively infrequent but highly-publicized ills and excesses which do crop up in the conduct of college athletic programs , for it is the NCAA's business to cut down on those ills and excesses. And though the NCAA makes its quota of mistakes, the record will show it has significantly improved the climate of intercollegiate athletics since World War II when scientific advancements in general and rapid air transportation in particular changed competitive sport in the United States just as they have changed nearly every aspect of our society. Sometimes its own membership , or segments of it, will deny the NCAA; act as if the NCAA were an outside, intruding force rather than they , the colleges themselves.
8
Latest internal issue is the so-called 1.6 rule, passed b y the NCAA's 59th Convention in January of 1965, amended by the membership at the 60th Convention. in 1966 and opposed (though not on the Convention floor) by the eight Ivy Group colleges. The purpose of the 1.6 rule, conceived over a period of three years of careful study and proved effective at the conference level in thP. Big Ten, is to establish a minimum academic standard below which no student-athlete may participate if his college intends to compete for national championship honors. The minimum which is a C-minus on th e letter grading scale (1.6 based on a 1 to 4 system) applies both to a high school graduate's predictability to do college work and the maintenance of at least that average as a continuing college student. The Ivy Group's opposition is based on the claim that the NCAA has no constitutional authority to delve in academic matters; that an individual's eligibility for varsity athletics should be the sole concern of the institution and that the regulation works unfa irly against the borderline student at an Ivy college compared to a majority of other NCAA members . Meanwhile, more than 500 of the 571 NCAA member colleges and universities are in conformity with the legislation. A prominent college president in favor of the majority opinion expresses his support this way: "The 1.6 rule is intended simply to require a minimum quantitative degree of realism and honesty to institutional sta te ments about academic standing and academic progress. No rule we can make will be perfect in its application . This would seem, nonetheless, to be a poor reason for not establishing rules . It's not intended to bring about uniformity of quality in all institutions in fifty states. It is intended to establish a point below which no institution should go, in line with its own quality standards." Byers explains the Association's predominant opinion this way: "Whe n our colleges come together in a scheduling situation not of their own choosing to compete for what presumably is the highest athletic honor an undergraduate can attain-a national championship-there ought to be in force some minimum academic requirement for eligibility. Th e 1.6 regulation does not say that "Ivy College" and "Sweatshirt U." are institutions of the same academic caliber. It does say that the athletes competing as students of a give n institution are representative of the student bodies of their own institutions." And so goes the current major contention within th e NCAA's widely-divergent college and university family . For 45 years after its founding, in 1906, the NCAA was largely a discussion group. But in 1951 when its members established a sound enforcement program, voted to control television and hired Byers as executive director, the NCAA became a dynamic force . There is periodic consternation that the NCAA is trying to legislate and control too many areas of athletic administration, but about two things there is agreement: When collegiate athletic problems cross regional lines and become national in character, the NCAA possesses the leadership, the strength and a democratic structure to deal with these problems. And with an increasingly higher percentage of college-age individuals attending our nation's colleges and univP.rsities each year, the NCAA will assume an ever more important role in its influence and directio n of the competitive athletic strength of the United States.
Kennedy Plaza Before
. . . and Now
A STUDENT AT THE U. D. IN THE YEAR, 1966 By VINNIE DiTRANI , Senior and Ed itor, Flyer News Growth at a rapid pace has marked the University of Dayton for the past few years. A campus that once housed only a handful of buildings is now teeming with shiny new edifices. Over 7,000 full-time students now walk where less than half that number strode a few short years ago. This growth has meant a great deal to the UD students. First, of course, there are more of them. Four dorms now house nearly 3,000 on-campus students. Off-campus housing also encompasses a good number. The Dayton commuting students, who once were practically the whole enrollment, now comprise less than half of the student body. An increase in curricula has been necessary to academically accommodate the growing number of students. Five schools make up the university: Arts and Sciences, Education, Business, Engineering, and the Technical Institute. Each of these schools provides a wide area of study to its members . And the specialty areas , such as Engineering and Business, allow enough variation in the student's schedule to assure a well-rounded education. Nearly all of the classes are held in the newer buildings to give the teachers as well as the learners the most favorable classroom conditions. Air conditioning is especially helpful to those students who attend third term classes when the hot Dayton sun is beating down outside . Opportunity to learn outside the classroom is also available. The Albert Emanuel Library, recently expanded and renovated, contains many volumes of valuable material for that term paper or weekly report. The other campus libraries, as the one in Sherman Hall, provide information in more specialized areas. Academic clubs and organizations help polish the student's education. Many, such as the three campus publications and the campus FM radio station, give the students a chance to learn by doing, and offer invaluable experience to anyone interested in these fields . A great deal of knowledge can be obtained outside of the classroom, and UD offers many varied channels for this "extra" learning. Socially, the center of the campus is now the impressive John F. Kennedy Memorial Union, which was opened in 1964. This spacious building offers the student activities ranging from art exhibits to bowling. The basement or recreation area sports not only bowling alleys but billiards and table tennis for anyone who wants to let off a little steam with enjoyable activity. The Snack Bar offers a place to meet friends and talk over the day's happening while nibbling on a bite to eat. On the main floor are a number of relaxing rooms. If one wants to watch television or just sit and talk, there is the lounge with comfortable chairs. If listening to music and watching gaily colored lights play on a wall is a person's way to relax, he will find a home in the music listening room . If reading a current magazine suits one's fancy, he can find re laxation in the browsing library.
Also on the main floor are the art gallery, where exhibits of some of the fine area talent are displayed, and the studio of WVUD-FM, the campus radio station that broadcasts on 99.9 kilocycles. The second floor is highlighted by the Ballroom , where a number of important Social affairs involving not only the campus but the entire Dayton community are held each year. Also on the second floor are the offices of the Flyer News, Student Council, Union Activities Organization, DayIonian, and Exponent. The Flyer News and other two publications offer the student with the flare for writing a chance to display his talents to his fellow students. The Student Council, which is undergoing a major overhaul in its Constitution this year, lets the person interested in government and politics try his hand at running for office and, if he wins, work on a governing body. The UAO sponsors many social and cultural events that are enjoyed by those working on them as well as by those who attend them. The entire campus looks forward to certain annual events that have grown to be an integral part of the UD student's tenure at the University. Freshman orientation. the Christmas pageant, Mardi Gras Weekend, and, of course, Homecoming provide the Red-letter days in the Red and Blue calendar. Culture is not forgotten by any means . The weekly assemblies bring in some of the most interesting and informative speakers to address the student body. The Arts Series attracts many fine performers who display their talents to interested UD'ers. And what would a campus be without athletics? UD supplies football, basketball, hockey, soccer, baseball, golf, tennis, and now wrestling on an intercollegiate level, and also most of these sports on an intramural level. Although wins have been few and far between in recent seasons, the football team still generates a lot of interest among the students, as can be shown by the great attendance at all the games. Of course, tickets to basketball games are real premiums, and many stay in line all night just to get a precious ducat to an importan t game . With these and many other activities available to the UD student, very little of his time away from the books and the classroom is wasted. Growth at a rapid pace has meant a great deal to the University of Dayton student. It allows him more opp ortunities than his predecessors, and more areas in which to take advantage of these opportunities. No longer a little Catholic school, the University of Dayton has grown to an impressive Catholic institution, impressive not only in size but in what it has to offer to its students-continued growth with assured continued success for the University of Dayton.

GROWTH AIMS
FUTURE
PHYSICAL & HEALTH EDUCATION By JAMES B. LaVANCHE Chairman, Department of Physical & Health Education The body is the temple of the soul and to reach harmony of body, mind and spirit it is important to develop physical as well as mental and spiritual qualities. -Aristotle
Mr. LaVa nc he
The Department of Physical and Health Education was reorganized in 1964 in an effort to strengthen and expand its programs. A departmental chairman was named, as well as a director of the Men's Division and a director of the Women's Division. It is the responsibility of the chairman to coordinate the two divisions and to supervise th e student teachin g experiences of physical education students. This re-organization is a ll ow ing each division to expa nd and grow rapidl y; it a lso gives major students the professional supervision that is so vitally imp ortant in their stude nt teac hing experiences. As a branch of the School of Education, the department's major contribution to the University and to society is the preparation of Physical and Health Education teachers. Following is the philosophy formulated by the department: Man is a rational being composed of body and soul in one substantial union. In seeking the welfare of the soul adequate attention must be given to the welfare
Modern day Robin Hoods

of the body. Physical and Health Education must be within the general context of man's nature and he must understand the eternal world and how it may affect him as a human being. Physical and Health Education are necessary to promote the harmonious development of all the powers of man according to their essential hierarchy. P hysical and Health Education is not an end in itself, but a means. As such, it is and must remain subordinated to its end, which consists in the perfect formation and education of the whole man. The Department of Physical and Health Education will provide knowledge, experiences and an environment which will develop appreciations and understandings, and thereby enable each individual to reach his maximum potential as a competent person, dedicated to teaching and to working effectively with children. Also, it seeks to develop the maximum potential of each individual socially, emotionally, and morally, as well as physically. General objectives established for professional preparation include a broad base of knowledge that characterizes an educated person, knowledge required to direct learning experiences, and a mastery of the knowledge and skills unique to his respective fields. The late President John F. Kennedy said, "The physical vigor of our citizens is one of America's most precious resources. If we waste and neglect this resource, if we allow it to dwindle and grow soft, then we will destroy much of our ability to meet the great and vital challenges which confront us ." In a n effort to narrow the gap b etw ee n scientific knowledge and the application of it toward the conservation and protection of buman resources, the department strives for an understanding of man in his biological environment, in his physical environment, in his psychological environment, in his social environment, and in his spiritual envi ronment. A student may pursue any of five curricula. Either the comprehensive program or the special program certifies the student to teach in both elementary and secondary schools. His student teaching is done on both levels. The principal program and the secondary teaching field certify the student for secondary school teaching only, and his st ud ent teaching is done only on th e second ary level. The elementary teaching field certifies only for elementary teaching with student teaching in elementary school only. In all programs except the comprehensive, a secondary teaching field is mandatory. Under the reorganization, student teachers are required to teach a full semester. Cooperating or supervising teachers are carefully selected by the departmental chairman. State certification requirements are met in Ohio and neighboring states, as well as in New York and New Jersey. In addition to the teacher preparation programs, the department offers a general program of physical education for women students and for m en students who have b ee n exc used from ROTC . This program emphasizes the various
Women behind the Eight Ball
sports which have outstanding carry-over value-golf, tennis, bowling, billiards , archery, riflery, badminton, and volleyball. General objectives of this program include physical, neuromuscular, social, emotional, and character development, as well as aesthetic value~) and recreational skills for leisure. As Socrates so aptly expressed, " . . . what a disgrace it is for a man to grow old without ever seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable." The number of physical education students has increased steadily; the growth is especially noticeable in the \!\'omen's Division. At the present time there are 180 major students, with approximately thirty graduates each year. A number of the graduates are receiving graduate assistantships at various universities for advanced study. The instructional staff consists of ten full-time faculty members. The continued growth of the department lo9ks very promising and plans are being studied for a possible graduate program. The department has initiated a Saturday Morning Physical Fitness Program for faculty and staff children. The program was received with great enthusiasm and tremendous participation by the youngsters . This activity serves a dual purpose : while being beneficial for the children, it gives major students an opportunity to put theory into practice. Plans are being formulated for an adult activity program for faculty and staff. A recent study was conducted by the department to evaluate the effectiveness of the physical education program during the last ten years. Graduates were most cooperative in answering the questionnaires. Some information which may be of interest to alumni follows: Return of questionnaires: 1955-59 graduates-62.3 per cent; 1960-64 graduates-80.6 per cent, or a total of 72.1 per cent. The majority of the physical education graduates are native Ohioans (76.9 per cent). Fifty-six per cent of the
graduates have taught in their home state. More than twenty-five per cent have completed a Master's degree, and more than fifty per cent have taken addit ional graduate courses toward an advanced degree. The vast majority of graduates are involved in coaching on various levels . Approximately one-fifth of our graduates have never taught. These have favored business or housewife as a career. Two weaknesses of the curriculum expressed by the alumni were in gymnastics and aquatics. Since 1964 an aquatics course has been added, and new equip ment has improved the gymnastics offering. The majority of the graduates had a high regard for the student teaching experience. The assistance offered by the cooperating teachers has proved to be of great value to them. The department is anticipating further growth and expansion. We shall appreciate any suggestions or assistance you may wish to offer. We hope to see all of our graduates at our Homecoming Social Hour October 15. Remember to keep physically fit! John Dryde n said: Better to hunt in field, for health unbough t, Than fee the doctor for a nauseous draugh t. The wise, for cure, on exercise depend; God never made his work for man to mend .

BE OUR GU路E ST ...
DEN MOTHER TO A CAMPUS by Maggie Fitzgibbons Reprinted from Dayton Daily News
Everyone knew Mary Tuite would cry when she found out what was ahead for her, Someone had even provided a handkerchief. Mary is an institution at University of Dayton- a kind of den mother, warm, witty and full of years. And she looked like a walking flower garden. Her strong face was shadowed by a big, boatlike hat. Her small, sturdy figure was encased in flowered silk. And there was an appreciative sigh from a big assembly who knew that a trick had been played on Mary. She strode to a platform at UD's ballroom to read a speech honoring Fr. Charles Collins. But the audience knew she was walking into a trap. "I have spent weeks on this speech," she admitted in a no-nonsense voice. Then she gave a capsule report on her bosses. Fr. Charles Collins, "He always said, I'll take care of that tomorrow." Bro. Elmer Lackner, "The go-go man." Bro. Joseph Mervar, "A gardener, He'll never die, just spade away." But before she finished , the tables turned. Someone took over the mike and read off a flowery tribute to Mary. As it went on she would grimace and snap , " Shut up ," or "Amen." But tears came. And someone handed her a big, red handkerchief, eve n b efore she accepted the VIP plaque . Then, as if on cue, the ballroom burst into a rousing version of "Mary's a Grand Old Name." After the accolade, it took Mary half an hour to walk across the ballroom. Well-wishers almost smothered her. One boy came up and said, "Remember me? I was in trouble last semester." Of course she did. In a slightly husky voice, she said, "My you'd think I'd won an academy award. Only it would have to be with Will Rogers in Steamboat Around the Bend." Mary has outlasted almost eve ryone at UD. She started July 20, 1936 as a secretary. Wit is her weapon. A photographic mind her chief asset.
Maggie Fitzgibbons, the ever-smiling Women's Editor of the Dayton Daily News, wrote this engaging column on our Mary Tuite after Bosses Night in April. We thought you'd like to read it. Mrs. Fitzgibbons is a native of Vermont and came to Dayton nine years ago.

Mary Tuite smiles and she should. Paul Heckman, President of the U.D. National Alumni Association, is giving her a check from the UDNAA for $1,000. The sum goes toward her very worthy Mary for Marycrest project. "They keep me because
know where everything is. "
'Do You Know Anything?' Once when she was answering the phone during a switchboard operator's break, a crusty voice began, "Do you know anything?" "Very little, but I'll share it," she snapped. "What was Pres. Garfield's first wife's maiden name," came the voice. For this kind of emergency, Mary keeps "Dr. Miles Antipain Pill almanac" handy. . It didn 't pacify a caller who wanted to know how to fmd the area of a circle. "I read the answer to him," said Mary. "He said, 'My wife has a garden I want to get rid of. I want to know how much turf I n eed .'" Quipped Mary, "Would you settle for grass seed?" . "Recently, " recalled Mary, "a young _beatle came ~n. Tight pants, and a mane that covered h1s eyes . He sa1d, 'I got problems, I was put out of Wright State.' "I said , 'I can't see you. Does your hair part?' He said. 'I don 't want it to part.' "I said, 'Well I would like to see you. Could you blow on your hair?' He blew . He really did have eyes.'' Sometimes a rejected applicant will ask, "Don't they count bodies? Don't you have to have people to get an appropriation?" Miss Tuite likes to say, "The first 27 years of my employment at UD I was marked, 'on trial'. The reason was, I had a series of boss es.'' Mary confided that she was born in Kings Mills, of Irish ancestry. She spends her summers in Green Harbor, Mass. "We were surrounded by Murphys, O'Briens, Ryans , O'Learys. I was telling a Mr. McNulty that I'd love to meet a Kleinhauser for a change. He said, "A German came here once. He didn't like it.' " Mary's memory goes back to the days when University of Dayton was a masculine stronghold. "We locked the doors and pulled the blinds after we took in 750. Now enrollment is 9 ,000. "Rec ently an old alumnus walked down the hall, looked in on me, and said, 'In my day, they would have gotten rid of you.' 'He was right. Women workers had to b e off the campus by 4 p.m. We had to take our vacations when brothers had a retreat here. Women might be distracting.'' Times have changed, but not Mary. She knows everything that goes on on campus. But she got the surprise of her life this week. " God love you all," she said, when she recovered her voice.

A SPORTS EDITORIAL John McVay
When you read this John McVay's football Flyers may have played one or two games. They may have a 2-0, 1-1 , or 0-2 record. Either record would not surprise us. This is only the second year for Coach McVay in the Flyers hangar. It takes time to build personnel, the most important; yet hardest phase of any team sport. There were times in the spring when it looked as though the scarcity of backs who could run with the wind, or bull through a mass of humanity, was at an end. Of course these men were playing against one another and who knows how well-fortified the opposition will be. Only the season can tell yo u this. You look for talent, depth and experience when you measure a football team and most of these key running backs offer no experience but they are in numbers and they have the potential. It isn't important in this article to mention their names . In the defensive secondary, which is ever so important, there is talent and experience. These men played well during the latter stages of 1965, indicating that they had the ability to learn. They originally had come with good
credentials. This year those credentials will be stamped good, bad or average. Both lines, offense and defense, are -talent, depth and experience-short, although there are some good football players here. There are numbers in the quarterback slot, a key shortcoming in Flyer teams over the losing campaigns. There were some things such as good running and good passing in the spring in the signal calling position. Experience and co nfidence can help this spot as the season rolls along. So what have you? Offensive backs in numbers with potential talent and this includes the quarterback slot. One set of defensive backs who are proven in UD's type of competition. Depth is needed here . The offensive line has some first-string strength with blocking finesse which did not exist in all spots last fall. Again there is no depth. The defensive line has linebacking strength, one proven tackle and end but there will have to be 110 per cent effort for major college competition. As Coach McVay said in part during the summer : "We should be a better and sounder football team . . . . . It is going to be paramount that we get off on the right foot . . . . . How we do in the first five games will make or break us for the balance of the season." It is our feeling that John McVay is on the right track. He is a knowledgeable football man and does have firm coaching on his staff. He needs you-the grad-and time on his side . I fe el he'll produce. Thirty years in sports leads me to believe he can do the job-in time. - Joe McLaughlin, ALUMNUS Editor
