The Cover - As a photographer for Richmond Newspapers , Inc. , Dave Ryan, '66, became known as one of Virginia's outstanding photographers. ( Now he is doubling in brass as reporter -photographer for the Times-Dispatch.) The sun bursting through in the campus scene on the cover is the typical Ryan extra that makes a good picture a great picture.

THE UNIVERSITYGROWS The two buildings now under construction on the University of Richmond campus testify to progress in two areas - accommodations for our increasingly resident student body and a great move forward on the cultural front .

The new dormitory will provide beds for 150 men and is a necessity; the fine arts building will provide facilities for more effective programs in music, fine arts, dramatics and speech, and is both a necessity and a luxury. With its dedication at Homecoming this fall, the University can offer a more effective and more varied program of activities for its students and for the college community, Particularly will the new theater be a boon both to drama ( shades of the quonset hut) and to music. Both in music and dramatics the University has offered programs of great excellence and variety; undertakings in both departments can be expanded dramatically.

It is to be hoped that funds for a field house, another building that is both a necessity and a luxury, can be found by the trustees who are hard pressed to meet the Univers ity's needs in these difficult days. The University's ath letic program could be augmented significantly and student mora le stimulated by the construction of this b uilding.

In recent years as funds have become available for construction they h ave been used, in the main, for new dormitories for men, structures made necessary by the changing complexion of the Richmond College student body. As President Mod lin pointed out in announcing the letting of a contract for a new dormitory to cost $680,000, the resident student body-less than 50 per cent in the memory of most alumni-is now more than 70 per cent and is expected to reach 80 per cent by 1970. The alternatives are clear: build new dormitories or lose desirab le students . Further, students for some time have been urging replacement of the "green mansions," temporary b uildings of World War II vintage, with brick-and -mortar dormi tories.

All of which means money-a commodity that is in short supply.

The two buildings now under construction are visible and tangib le evidence of the fact that the University continues to grow. It shou ld be pointed out that 13 major and many minor buildings have been construc ted d uring President Modlin's administration which began in 1946. These include five new dormitories and the new dormitory under construction. It is to be hoped that funds can be found to permit continued growth in areas of vital needs.

FederalAid? Baptists Request Trustee Study

by ROBERT S. ALLEY As the nature and character of higher education becomes ever more complex, institutions such as the University of Richmond are required to examine some hard facts. The June, 1967 Bulletin of the American Association of University Professors noted , "Perhaps even more serious cause for concern is the manifestation of the financial problems of the private university. These have long constituted a major bulwark of excellence in educational standards and of variety in orientation and, above all, they have served as centers in which academic freedom has most tenaciously been dethese universities are in for fended .... a very serious financial seige. . . . There is no reason for panic because there is still quite enough time to undertake appropriate measures. But if the nation, acting through private contributors and public agencies, does not come forth with the requisite resources, it may find that it has paid a high price in terms of the quality and vitality of this critical component of its educational system." 1 Virginia Baptists provide considerable financial assistance to the University.

This is as it should be since the denomination is the parent body. However , the character of the institution, as of most all denominational colleges , has altered radically in the years since World War II. Christian churches find themselves involved in a variety of functions not even dimly envisioned in the previous century. While we puzzle over the question of the nature of Christian higher education our institutions are competing for their very lives in the academic market of 1968. In terms of facilities, student aid and faculty compensation "Southern church related liberal arts colleges . . . are actually falling further behind each year." 2 In recognition of the monumental task before it and the desperate plight of its institutions of higher learning, the Baptist General Association of Virginia in November of 1967 adopted, by a large majority, a motion offered by Dr. Reuben E. Alley which stated: That the Baptist General Association of Virginia requests the trustees of each school sponsored by the denomination to formulate a policy '" Further Progress: The Economic Status of the Profession," Bulletin, American Association of University Professors, June, 1967.

2 "The Economic Status of the Profession ," Bulletin, AAUP, June, 1966.

with respect to the use of federal funds, with the understanding that the subsequent adoption of a policy, other than the acceptance of federal grants for capital needs, shall not prejudice the standing of the school with respect to future participation in the Cooperative Program.

The trustees, under the charter, have

About The Author

Dr. Robert S. Alley, '5 3, an associate pro fessor of religion at the University, is the son of Dr. Reuben E. Alley , ' 22, editor of the Religious Herald and the leader in the movement last fol I at the Baptist Association meeting which requested the University of Richmond trustees to formulate a policy regard ing Federa l aid.

The younger Alley is one of the most active and popular teachers on the campus .

He joined the University of Richmond faculty in 1963, after having taught at William Jewell College at Liberty, Mo., and at Hun School of Princeton . He is a native of Richmond, and after winning his bachelor of arts degree at the University, he enrolled at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary where he received the degree of bachelor of divini ty. He earned his Ph.D. degree at Princeton University . That he is becoming a campus leader among the faculty is no surpr ise, for he was a leader as an under graduate. He was a member of the Ministerial Association, business manager of The Collegian , editor of the Spider Handbook, a member of the House of Representatives and of the International Relations Club . He is a member of Omicron Delta Kappa, Pi Delta Epsilon, Sigma Pi Sigma, and Pi Sigma A lpha . He is married to the forme r Norma Crane of Ocala, Fla., and they have two children.

full responsibility for determination of such policy, but in this action the Baptists voted confidence in the trustees' capacity to handle this particular matter in the wisest manner. It was a realistic action necessitated by conditions in present day higher education. Further, it dears the air, making possible reasonable decisions in an atmosphere devoid of uninformed emotionalism. In light of this motion certain federal programs become realistic options in the search for survival in quality. We suggest the following as examples of the kind of assistance which could benefit the University.

One of the most urgent needs facing private colleges is the provision for student aid. Under the National Defense Education Act of 1958 low interest loans are available to college students with the government providing ninety percent. These loans are administered by the participating institution with the government sharing the administrative costs. A student who receives a loan and later enters the teaching profession may have up to half that loan forgiven if he pursues the profession for five years. A program of this nature is absolutely essential to the maintenance of high standards of admission. Colleges are in a competitive market for qualified students as well as faculty. The NDEA program has been effectively employed by a large number of the more progressive liberal arts colleges in the nation.

Also available is a student work program wherein the government will provide as much as 85 percent of the compensation for student employees, thereby releasing university funds for various other programs.

Facilities for teaching, particularly in the sciences, are the most pressing need on most private campuses today. In June of 1968 Hampden-Sydney College plans to complete a $2 million science building which will replace a 1921 structure which is totally inadequate.

Government funds paid approximately a fourth of the cost. Under the Higher Education Facilities Act of 1963, Title III, loans are available to construct or improve undergraduate academic facilities. These loans may run as high as 75 percent of the total cost. Recently the education editor of the New York Times observed, "If nothing is done to halt the decline of science instruction in liberal (Continued on page 10)

-ANAIDTOCOMMUNICATI.

R.C!sNEW LANGUAGE LAB

THE LAB, HERE MANNED by students of Spanish , is supervised by Dr . Robert A. MacDonald, chairman of the department languages, who gives instructions over the microphone as Haley F. Thomas, also of the language faculty, listens in.

This is an age for language- learning by the young throughout the civilized world, and the post-World War II generations want more than textbook exercises, irregular verbs, declensions or whathaveyou leading to a basic reading knowledge of the foreign tongue. Language is communication, and the young of today want to learn it that way. To learn to understand and to speak a foreign language reasonably well would satisfy most. The academician wants to teach these skills, yes, but he is not content that his students achieve no more than a fair degree of native illiteracy in the foreign tongue. Rather, he insists that the skills of reading and writing be developed concurrently with the aural-oral abilities, and, in addition, that the student become familiar with the history, literature and general culture of the people whose language is being studied.

The above paragraph explains why foreign language-teaching at Richmond College is about to undergo extraordinary changes thanks to the installation of an audio-lingual laboratory in a remodeled setting in Ryland Hall. In preparation for this installation, a room on the third floor ( 303) was renovated in the late summer. Central air-conditioning was installed-not so much for the comfort of students and teachers as to protect the sensitive electronic equipment from deterioration caused by humidity and temperature. To assure the best possible acoustics , the room was carpeted and the ceiling and walls cov-

by HALEY F. THOMAS ered with acoustical tile. ( A typical student comment: "Gee, I didn't know this attic could look so good!")

The laboratory consists of thirty student positions (booth-like), each equipped with a microphone, a set of headphones and a control panel. The tape recorders for student positions are "remoted" -that is, they are installed together in racks near the teacher's console. This is an improvement over the more traditional setup where tape decks were installed at each position. The student has just as much control over his machine, but the remoted installation provides for easy maintenance and repair, less possibility of damage and absolute temperature control. The teacher's console is a complex control desk from which one or more teachers can execute multiple functions. There are four channels ( like telephone trunk lines) through which programs from thirteen sources may be directed to any or all of the thirty student positions. Theoretically, four different languages could be taught from the console at the same time, although it is more probable that just two professors will conduct lab classes simultaneously and independently , each communicating with his students through microphone and headphones.

This matter of dual utilization of the laboratory was high on the prerequisite list of the language professors who drafted the

[ 4]

of modern

laboratory specifications .

Of equal importance was the department's desire that the laboratory be designed for individual study as well as for teaching. Any student positions that are not occupied during class hours will be available to students who wish to drop in to review taped material of past lessons ( or tomorrow's lesson). In addition , it is the department's plan to main tain a schedule of study hours in the afternoons, evenings and on weekends when students may work with taped material for their courses. Theoretically, thirty students could study independently, each using tapes for a different language course.

Under the able leadership of Dr . Rob ert A. MacDonald, the teachers of the department of Modem Foreign Languages have given considerable attention in recent years to surveying the problems of "methodology" in language-teaching.

Experimentation with electronic equipment has dominated this field for at least ten years. As is usual in pedagogical experimentation, more effective means of teaching have evolved, following mistakes and confusion. Several members of the department have had experience teaching in language laboratories at other universities ( Wisconsin, Georgetown, North Carolina and Tulane), although the RC lab is rather complex , the teachers are confident that they can bypass the confusion and move quickly to the more effective methods . The time is ripe for chang e; better texts with

taped or disk recordings are rapidly be coming available for the major languages of the world.

At the present time, the teachers are le~rning the functions of the equipment, usmg small classes , volunteer students and each other as guinea pigs at the student positions . They anticipate that the laboratory will be in full-time opera tion with the beginning of classes in the second semester.

A gradual restructuring of language courses on the Elementary and Intermediate levels has been in process for several semesters. Many students now meet three 25-rninute oral practice sessions per week in addition to the three 50-minute class periods. Beginning in 1968, all students on these levels will be required to participate in the audiolingual laboratory program, attending three 25-minute lab sessions that will be closely coordinated with the work of the regular class meetings .

Changes are being proposed and made in advanced courses as well. The study of literature is acquiring new dimensions with the advent of poetry readings recorded on disks by famous poets and speakers, and the recordings of major plays by great actors. In recent years, the department has been creating a ~odest library of these recordings , and 1t plans to continue acquiring literature records for the different language courses as they become available.

In a traditional classroom situation the attention of each student is (hope'. fully) engaged with what is being said by the teacher or another student. No

prov1s10n can be made for students to work at their own pace; the fast learn er is too often yoked to the p lodder. Th e audio -lingual laboratory is modern technology's tool for changing the situation.

Now, thirty individual minds will be permitted to set their own paces indi vidually. The quick can move quicklythe slow, slowly. Those gifted with verbal facility will make extraord in ary progress. Those who like gadgetry will be impressed and challenged. Those afflicted with self-consciousness in class may become loquacious when given the opportunity of working through their aggressions on an inhuman machine.

Those who have speech handicaps of psychic etiology when speaking English will not, in all probability transfer their stutters and stammers to the foreign language.

The depersonalization achieved by "machine-teaching" allows students to develop self-confidence in speaking a foreign language, and this usually improves their articulatiorn in English.

The role of the teacher changes radically in the langua ge laboratory. Obviously, this must b e so if audio -lingual m ethods are to be effective. At the same time , machines cannot replace teachers.

The machine assumes a portion of the burden, thereby freeing the teacher to fill a role that he longs to play in the classroom, but never has time for. While twenty-nine students move along at their own speeds , the teacher is at liberty to devote his attention to one student.

Eventually ( and rapidly, once h e and the students learn th e ropes) , he gets

around to the other twenty -nine students individually. He moniters the students through his headphones, interrupts occasionally to make corrections in pronunciation or grammer, keeps a record of the weakness of material and / or of students to be reckoned with later , and may find it necessary to stop all machines for a blackboard explanation when so many students are making the same error that it would be unwise to let them proceed. Students can learn basic speech patterns of another languag e more readily with a machine. Having learned these , they can then deduce ( or, at least, under stand more quickly) the grammar principles involved. With the tool of the tape recorder , the teacher now helps the student fit together the building blocks of another language without getting detour ed into lengthy explanations of gram mar obscurities. With gifted students , he can achieve phenomenal results inso • far as pronunciation , diction and nuances of intonation are concerned.

Chances for positive results with all students are enhanced since, as a general rule, motivation is stronger in the audiolingual situation. Thus , the language teacher is no longer a frustrated drill master. Thanks to electronic aid , he can teach more effectively man's greatest creation-language;-that is, provided h e becomes an accomplished technician at the complex console .

THREE BLIND MICE Although Richmond College had to wait a decade beyond the time Westhampton College got her language laboratory , before the lab was finally installed on the other side of the lake it was, in the words of one of the electronics work ers who installed it, of "real Rolls Royce quality. " Nothing less would satisfy Dr. Robert A. MacDonald, head of the Department of Modern Languages and his associates in the department , among them the author of the article on this page.

Perhaps none labored more diligently than Dr. MacDonald, Professor N. Wilford Skinner, and Professor Thomas.

Skinner's knowledge of electronics surprised no one since every one on the camp us had long since stopped b eing surprised at his versatility. Thomas gave the department the benefit of his exten sive experience with the language laboratory at Tulane where he taught before joining th e University of Richmond faculty . Dr. MacDonald tied it all to-

gether , benefitting from information he received on trips to other campuses, often accompanied by Dr. William J. Gaines, veteran professor of Romance languages and form er department head.

All of the department members feel that the lab "a next generation laboratory," again quoting that electronics man, is well worth the more than $50,000 the University invested in it.

Although the MacDonald -SkinnerThomas trio laughingly dubbed themselves the "three blind mice ," students in the department are likely to be impressed with their vision and foresight.

Although Professor Thomas brought with him an impressive reputation as a scho lar and linguist , he will agree with thos e who say his chief claim is that he persuaded the former Mary MacFarlane to marry him , which she did on November 25, 1966. As almost every body knows "Mary Mac" was secretary to Dean Robert F. Smart and is secretary to Dean Austin E. Grigg, '40.

Inexperienced Spiders Play Like Veterans

Those Amazing Basketeers

by WALT DREWRY Showing the stuff champions are made of, Coach Lewis Mills' youthful University of Richmond cagers were astounding the experts with the season just one third gone . Mills lost seven seniors from last year's squad and the writers could see nothing but gloom for the inexperienced Red and Blue. Instead they've been a pleasant surprise for Mills and their followers.

What's the record? Overall Richmond the Spiders is 5-4 ( many thought wouldn't win five all season) and 2-2 in the Southern Conference, having defeated George Washington, 86-74, and East Carolina, 90-83, while losing to Furman, 80-70, and West Virginia 87-66.

Tennessee, a national power, and a strong Florida State quintet defeated

DEFENDING AGAINST A FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT is the University of Richmond's Bobby Ukrop, one of the quickest basketball players in the Southern Conference.

Mills' youngsters, but the Spiders defeated a good Jacksonville Univers ity team twic e by scores of 73-66 and 82-77, the second in overtime.

The BIG win, however, was 102-95 triumph over the University of Virginia on the Cavaliers' home court. Showing "never-say -di e" spirit, the Spiders had to overcome a 20-point deficit to capture this exciting Virginia Big Five contest.

Mills told his boys "to stick in there, not to disappoint their fans and to go get 'em." His lads did just that. showed Virginia The scoreboard ahead, 79-59, with 12 minutes to play.

With just 7:26 left, Richmond had managed to chop just three points off that deficit and Virginia still held what looked like a comfortable 87-70 lead. Then Richmond went to work. Wilton Ford, the 6-6 junior center who missed the latter part of last season, tallied on a layup.

Kenny Foster, 6-2 sophomore guard who was to soore 29 points, followed with a two-pointer. Bobby Ukrop, the quick as lightning junior guard, added a free throw. Junior Larry Weddington, who played little as a soph a year ago, scored two quick baskets. Foster scored again and Ukrop added a pair of free throws.

Now the Spiders trailed by only four, 87-83, having made 13 straight points.

Such a comeback was unbelievable.

This was MISSION IMPOSSIBLE but the Spiders meant to carry on although Virginia managed a basket at 5:08 to pull out front by six points. Foster hit with a jumper from the key. Ukrop added a pair of free throws and Weddington, with an assist from Ukrop, tied the score at 89-89 with 2:53 to go. There was no stopping the red hot Spiders now.

Frank Owen, a 6-7 sophomore who's learning his trade fast as a reserve center and had helped Richmond take command of the boards, sent the Spiders ahead with a two-pointer from the keyhole. He added another field goal shortly thereafter on a pass from Larry Patterson. Richmond led, 93-89, with 1:43 left and nothing Virginia could do after that mattered.

The Spiders wound up hitting 47.5 p er cent of their shots, while Virginia was connecting on 43.4 per cent from th e floor.

Newcomer Picot Frazier, a fine 6-2 guard who had contributed 29 points in the victory over George Washington [ 6]

when the Spiders hit 57.7 per cent of their field goal attempts, was on the bench as a result of personal fouls during the last six minutes. He's Richmond's leading scorer with a 15.4 average.

Ford, averaging 14.8, was on the bench, too, for th e same reasons. Foster is the only other double figurer with a 12.8 average.

The comeback was nothing new, however. At one point in the East Carolina game, the Spiders trailed, 37-18. They went to the press in this one and pulled to within five, 48-43, at intermission.

Ukrop stole the ball and raced in for a layup with 4.41 gone in the second half to tie the count at 57-57. Weddington 's two-pointer sent Richmond ahead for good and sealed East Carolina's doom.

The overtime victory over Jacksonville at the Arena also was a thriller. Richmond trailed, 75-72, with 3:05 left in the extra period when Terry Burgess, the lone senior on the Spider squad, connected on a layup. Owen intercepted a pass and Frazier hit with a 12-footer with just 53 seconds to go to send Richmond ahead to stay.

Coach Martin Morris ' freshmen also have a winning record after seven games , winning four. They walloped the Virginia freshmen, 100-81, by placing six men in double figures. Other triumphs have been at the expense of the George Washington frosh, 99-94; the Old Dominion frosh , 99-87, and the East Carolina yearlings , 87-81. Losses came at the hands of the Tennessee frosh , the VVest Virginia frosh and a powerful Ferrum Junior College five.

Stan Ryfinski, who holds the seasonal high of 33 against the Tennessee freshmen, is the pacesetter with a 23.6 average. Jim Hewitt is averaging 15 points a game. Phil Bushkar has a 13.7 average, Ed Surgan 12.4 and Bart Eisner 11.4.

Fred Guest, the Spiders' star distance runner, set a two-mile record of 9:23.0 in an indoor track meet with VMI. Rod Camden tied the school mark of 6.2 seconds in the 60-yard dash. Jim Livesay showed promise with a high jump of six feet, two inches.

Guest ran a 9: 10.7 in the two-mile in the Un iversit y of Chicago Holiday Festival, finishing sixth. However, only one collegian finished ahead of him in the star-studded field.

SpiderGriddersAmazeWith 5-5 Season

**** Jones Chosen Coach of the Year

by JERRY LINDQUIST Times-Dispatch Sports Writer Frank Jones insisted he was not a miracle man when he accepted the University's offer to become head football coach two years ago, but you can mark him down as a man who believes in miracles nevertheless. The 1967 football season was enough to make him a believer.

It was not a season like all seasons for the Spiders who just a short memory ago were not too proud possessors of the nation 's longest losing streak. Instead, they came up winners with a 5-2 Southern Conference record ( no other team won more than four conference games ) and finished 5-5 overall, best since 1962.

Not bad for a team that one national publication fearlessly predicted would wind up 0-10. Jones himself said he could not reasonably expect more than a couple of victories. After all, UR had b een 2-8 the season before , and there were so many sophomores, and the schedule was not getting any lighter.

It began with back-to-back home games against West Virginia and East Carolina, two of the three teams tabbed to fight it out for the conference title.

They also were able to start pre-season drills earlier than Richmond under some vague, typically strange NCAA regulation.

West Virginia won (27-6). So did East Carolina ( 23-7) , and the outlook was not promising. "All we are trying to do is improve our program. We had to win at least two games. Anything over that would be gratis," Jones said.

As it turned out, the Spiders shook off the two opening misadventures to win their next three , run off their last five conference games , and lead the conference in pass defense ( 120.3 yards per game). They were second in rushing defense and total defense , and the latter ( 246.9) was 24th best in the nation.

"The big turning point came against VMI. We had lost two games, and the

POW ER DO ES IT. Joe Kellu m, here hitt ing t he line for a short gain, picked up 107 yards in Richmond's most impressive performance of t he season, a 16-7 victory over W illi am and Mary.

[ 7]

NO M IRACLE MAN, Coach Frank Jones insisted, but he couldn't deny that he was elected Coach of the Year in the Southern Conference for his great job with the 1967 team.

young kids needed a win real bad. We played a good, sound game and won ( 3-0). Victory gave them the confidence to turn around and have a good year," Jones said. Buster O'Brien, passing to Wa lker Gillette, directed Richmond virtually the length of the field in the final minutes, then Mike Bragg kicked a 26yard field goal for the decision in Lexington. Bragg led the conference in punting ( 41.4).

In the fourth game, the Spiders came from a 10-point deficit going into the final quarter to down Davidson ( 24-17).

"That gave us a lot of confidence. It made us feel like we really had a football team," Jones said.

Of the 44 squad members there were 26 sophomores, and many of them were called on for first-unit duty. Like defensive ends Mel Medved and Buzz Montsinger or middle guard Dick Irvin ( a second-team all-conference selection) or defensive back Winston \Vhitehead.

"This was a surprising season, very definitely, because we had so many sophomores. They can be so unpredictable, and they came through so well." Jones recalled.

Junior college transfers also played important roles, like offensive backs Mike Bixiones and Joe Kellum or tackles (Continued on page 12)

(enelti11g A Dialogue Between Instructor and Student Effective teaching is a dialogue between teacher and student rather an an instructor's monologue.

It was a theme stressed hard by leaders of six faculty seminars this fall, seminars attended by more than 70 University of Richmond teachers who devoted considerable time to polishing up their teaching techniques.

Ours is an enthusiastic, dedicated faculty concerned about providing the very best possible instruction for the very best student body. They responded eagerly to the seminars, initiated by Dean Austin E. Grigg of Richmond College, and chaired by Provost Robert F. Smart.

The teaching tips that make the difference between merely being in class and really teaching were hammered out

by Dean Grigg and other veteran members of the faculty and administrationDean Mary Louise Gehring of \Vesthampton College, Dean Martin L. Shotzberger of University College and Dean W. Davis Robbins of the School of Business Administration.

The faculty members assumed the role of students and heard and discussed topics ranging from the practitioner's view of teaching to the proper bl end of teaching and research. The seminars were conducted at the beginning of the school year so the new faculty members could begin their teaching careers on .:i sound footinp:, but many older faculty members used the seminars as a refresher course.

Dean Grigg, in the first seminar , "Motivating the College Student," said that college educators have become prim:1rily interested in quality undergraduate teaching, which represents a shift in emphasis away from the over-riding concern with research and graduate education. This means that the college professor must be not only expert in his field but also concerned with the management of learning. As a manager of the learning process he should become skilled in conducting dialogues and not monologues with th e students.

Dean Grigg pointed out the results of a survey conducted by the Association of Virginia Colleges on good versus poor teachers. The students in these colleges characterized the effective teacher as one who made clear presentahons at a moderate pac e, were willing to allow students some communication and seemed interested in taking time to answer questions. The students asked for lectur es that are fresh and timely .

They wish to share intellectual ventures, not to play the role of a parrot.

In contrast, the poor teacher was described as formal, restricted by his lecture notes and generally not interested in the needs of the students.

The effective college teacher , Dean Grigg said, should not train the student solely in the role of a listener, but should help the student develop the ability to read in the instructor 's field. Lectures, he said, should not be designed only to give facts , but to capture the student's

Dr. Leftwich

interest and motivate him to become a scholar in his own right.

In the second seminar, "Strategies for Managing Learning: Converting Concepts into Experience," Dean Grigg said ideas cannot be transferred from one mind to another-they must be reborn in the recipient's mind. The student should experience the ideas being taught .

For example, the historian might teach a Revolutionary War battle by having the students learn the land characteristics, the relative size of the competing forces, and then ask the students how -they would plan the battl e. Then the professor would let them see how the actual battle was planned and fought. In this way, th e student is not just listening to the id eas of the instructor, but experiencing some glimpse of what it is like to have been a Revolutionary statesman.

Dean Gehring led the discussion of methods for making lectures "ac tive" to effect some change in the student, in the third seminar, "Strategies for Managing Learning: Participant Audience versus Passive Audience."

In the effective lecture , Dean Gehring [ 8]

said, a message is sent and received.

Equally as important, she added, is a "feedbac k" to th e sender who can then control or adjust the situation. Where th e audience is completely passive-no feedback-then we "mig ht as well eliminate the teacher and use books and films," she said.

Among th e varities of discussion methods, r-ole-playing, case-study, panel and symposium, the teacher sets the problem and eva luat es the result but generally participates minimally . She suggested that the skilled teacher should not necessarily choose the lecture or discussion approach to the exclusion of the other, but rather "encourage communication as an active two-way process by means of an effective combination of lecture and discussion."

"Learning is the accumulation and application of knowledge which results in a behavior change," said Dean Shotzberger in the fourth seminar, "A Practitioner Looks at the Teaching-Learning Process." He cited some important principles: repetition, multiple use of senses, presenting information in small doses, encouraging application or practice of knowledge gained by the student, and continuity.

In the fifth seminar , "Research and Teaching: A Search for the Proper Blend," Provost Smart remarked that the University of Richmond is still dedicated to "high quality undergraduate teaching." Our faculty, he said, is free from the "publish or perish" philosophy prevailing in many universities in which research productivity serves as the major guideline for tenure and promotions among the faculty.

But at the same time, he added, "we should be aware that one of our objective is to expand th e frontiers of knowledge and to this end it is hoped that our faculty will be scholarly and productive in their fields. " Research can bring a fresh approach to a professor 's lect ures but the professor should strike the proper balance between teaching, res earch and the variety of other responsibilities he must meet.

A College Dean SpeaksUp For CollegeYouth

I Am So

SOME.SO I believe it will be helpful if we consider for a few moments what the university is trying to do as it practices what h as been called "higher education ."

As I view it, higher education involves many things: facts presented in classes, textbooks, laboratory reports, hours of study, and also the experience of trying to manage one's self, of learning to balance the desire for self direction with the need to integrate the uniqueness of one's self with oth ers who are also individua ls. Youth wants autonomy. It has a right to a large measure of this. Sometimes youth finds it h ard to integrate the wishes of the individual with the rights and goa ls of others.

The Universi ty of Richmond, as an institution of higher education, is ooncerned with teaching the wisdom of the ages and the current facts from the world of the scholar and the scientist.

But the University of Richmond is also concerned with the kinds of people whom it teaches. Here we attempt to take a full view of this task of higher education . Here we are concerne d with more than th at our students will learn our lesson assignments. We are also very much involved in appraising what kind of person is seeking to learn ch emist ry, or lit era tur e, or music, or history. We have assigned ourselves the additional task of seeking to influenc e and to develop th e student into a mature, responsible human b eing . In other words, here we stress knowl edge and we also stress th e human qualities of th e learn er. I like to say that we are involv ed in trying to help p eople stretch themselves into th eir full humanity.

Some would say that when you bring your sons here for their first year in

college that we shou ld each agree that they ha ve begun the role of an adult , but have not had time to set tle gracefully into this role. Our hope is that by the time they have been graduated from here they will be mature and respon -

sible and will be called "adu lt" by those who know them.

To accom plish our goal of assisting inte lligent young peop le to develop to their potential and to maturity, th e college must allow a certain degr ee of freedom, and a certain degree of exploration in how far one can stretch his mind, his energi es, his int erests. We must provide the kind of atmosphere that will allow our students to learn to think for th emse lves and to learn their quality of probl em solving. I feel that as par ents , you, t oo, are keenly awar e that during his four years at college, to be successfu l, a boy must become a man. We can assist him in accomplishing this if we allow him freedom and demonstrate our trust in his integrity

[ 9]

and in hi s own ability to achieve responsible and worthwhile goals. If he makes gross errors and abuses his freedom , I believe we need some means to make him aware of his poor judgments. \Ve try to do this in college through his own student government, our fine Honor system , perhaps our grading system, and occas iona lly through the action of the Dean or the Dean of Students. Within cer tain boundary conditions, a college student shou ld be allowed to make his own decisions. I ha ve tri ed to state this in the handbook that our student government distributes to all freshmen: "You have a responsibility to yourself.

I have confidence that you will become a respected man and will recognize that your most precious possession is the goodness of your name and all that it will come to mean to others. Do not doubt your intelligence, but consi der carefully whethe r you are displaying the efficiency necessary to accompl ish the goals you genu inely desire."

This year, we hav e instituted D ormitor y Councils as one means to assist our students in exper iencing a greater measure of self responsibility and also a realization of th e need to coordinate one's own actions with oth ers. D ean Robbins , D ean Gray , D ean Baker and I hav e been ve1y pl ease d thus far with how th e students hav e managed th eir own affairs insofar as dormitory life is concerned.

W e hav e also be en very plea sed with the responsible leadership shown this year by th e officers of our Stud ent

Government. The Student Government Presidents, Charles Poston, Richard Bricker and their associates are making a wholesome contribution to student life and to the general university community.

I think sometimes those of us of the older generation have not been entirely fair to college students. I am always impressed with how seriously you and I will take the advice of some school dropout who calls to our home to fix some household gadget that has gotten out of balance, or how we will take seriously the advice of a youth who works on our car, but when a college student asks us to take him seriously we will say: "Oh, you're just at that age; we don't really have to pay too much attention to you."

I like the way Irving Kristo!, vice president of Basic Books put it several years ago: "Practically every college student these days understands what is meant by an identity crisis; it is one of the cliches of the sixties ."

Students have always been dependent on others for their support. The fact that this dependency is culturally approved is mitigating , but the student still doesn 't like it. Nor does he like it that we refuse to take him seriously. He keeps asking, "Who am I?" And too often our implied answer has been, "Not much , not yet, maybe later , but now you're not much."

If the student becomes an athlete and is thus necessary to his team and to th e alumni and sometimes even to some of the faculty, then he may feel that he has negated our complaint that he is not much while a student. Or , he may earn high prais e for high scholastic grades and be identified as a young scholar. He may fall deeply in love and feel that he is needed by his loved one. But what if he is not an athlete, or a potential Phi Beta Kappa , or if he is unable to find a sweetheart? Well, as you and I know so well , he can feel he is someone by joining a movement, become a crusader for this or that , for good or for evil. He can pr etty well make us stand back and take notic e of him. He is saying to us: "Hey, th ere, I am so somebody. By the hair on my chinny chin chin, I'll force you to to take notice of me."

America has been accused of antiintellectualism , especially immediately after World War II. Is it th e last vestige of anti-intellectualism that people in your neighborhood and min e will pay careful attention to the advice of a youth working over their car in a service station , but will laugh and ignore that same youth when he is walking his college campus and trying to communica te to us what he thinks and feels about larger problems?

Those of us who have spent our lives around college campuses become accustomed to the attention seeking devices

of students: the gold fish eaters, the telephone booth jammers, th e panty raiders, the unshaved Twentieth Century bathrobe paraders, the dormitory water battlers, the door kickers, the free speechers, and all the other forms of "Hey, ther e, look at me, I am somebody." But some of us grow sad that service station operators don't need to do thes e kinds of things , but that the same people, as college students, do.

Why can't we listen to students? Why must adults be apathetic? Do we really hav e the best of all possible worlds? Do we, really, have an establishment to protect? Of course, the young are not as wise as they think they are, but neither are we.

Must we teach the young that they are commodities? Go and get an education so that you can peddle yourself better. College students are not commodities. They are people-they each carry the spark of humanity, the flowering of your family, the future meaning of your name. You and I need to take them more seriously.

Our society has need of intelligent, well educated young adults. I b elieve that self sacrifice is not the highest demand of society upon an individual, but that self development is of the first priority. I believe this because without maximum self development of our young, we will all be sacrificed one dreadful day.

Young people don 't like the idea that we are preparing them for tomorrow and that because of this, today is not too important. The new look on college campuses is that today is important.

They are saying, we are alive today .

The things we think , say and do TODAY are important to us. So we hav e begun at the levels of higher education to recognize that college is not solely a preparation for some future day , but that college is also a way of living now.

Students have taught us this and we are trying to respond. We are trying to learn to provide experiences in current living as well as to provide a preparatory stage for a future day. vVe are trying to teach them the wisdom of the ages , the kinds of ideas that thoughtful men of today are struggling with, and to provide some glimpse into where knowledge will probably lead us in some tomorrow. , ve know more than they do. We are tiying to get them to see that we want to have them as partners, just as the young man who works on my car discuss es the repairs with me, so with students, we have adopted more of a peer or a part[ 10]

nership relationship. We are not wise old men talking down our intellectual noses at young greenhorns. We are senior colleagues working with very intelligent young junior colleagues, thinking together, exploring tog ether, trying to discov er the values of life and of humanity. And pray to God that we can succeed in what we are trying to do!

arts colleges that are not part of universities, science will atrophy in their curriculum." 3 Self liquidating loans for dormitories would be another area of consideration.

Attraction and retention of first rate faculty is a constant problem to the private college administration. Salaries remain th e key as a spiraling interest in public higher education and a huge outlay of funds to support it, creates a severe competition for faculty. The supply is limited and salaries are on the rise. The larg est single item in the university budget is generally faculty compensation. An increase in this operating expenditure usually requires a rise in the tuition . If this trend continues the private college may well become the preserve for the upper middle class as it prices itself out of the lower income market. This is a crisis that must be faced lest the very character of the institution be altered to its own detriment. In this area several programs of the federal government are useful to supp lement faculty compensation.

Research grants are available on a payment for services rendered basis with the percentage of government contribution dependent upon the particular program. While these seem to center in the physical sciences, they are also availab le in the social sciences. The chief advantage of such involvement by the college is the ability to provide attractive research projects for prospective and present faculty . Scholars in th e several disciplines "want to be wher e the action is. Science is, if anything , more action and frontier-oriented than other academic endeavors.'' 4 Use of these research programs would make possible greater flexibility in recruitment of both faculty and students in the future.

So They Say

for Musicians

Really High THOMAS S. BERRY

JAMES ERB

James Erb, associate professor of music and chairman of the Music Depaitment of the University of Richmond, recently spoke to the Washington Chapter of the Westhampton College Alumnae. The major point of his talk was to answer the question of why there is a music department at the University of Richmond. He suggested that there is a good reason for usually avoiding this tricky question. This reason is that "nobody has ever come up with a generally accepted definition of music, much less of its function in society, and , consequently , of its purpose in education."

Since there has never been a civilization without music, Professor Erb concluded that there must be some basic need for it, whether it is demonstrably useful or not. If one accepts, then , the proposition that awareness of music is an important part of a civilized human being, it follows that there is a need for its inclusion in education at any level.

There may be, however, two fundamentally different responses to this need . One is to assume its value to be primarily that of entertainment , of diversion, and of minimal personal involvement. The aim is to amuse, amaze and impress rather than to move. The end result of this is that music becomes an adjunct to other activities, such as the footba ll band or the rousing glee club. Professor Erb pointed out that many schools dedicate at least part of their music departments' energies in this direction and that the University of Richmond does this to some degree. The chief criterion of an activity's worth is the degree to which it pleases the audience. "Walt Disney is better than Shakespeare."

The other approach to the place of music in a college , according to Professor Erb, is much harder both to define and to defend. Its aims are more diffuse, its results harder to see immediately, and harder to speak of in terms of persons or dollars. He termed this approach "student -ori ented."

Its aim is to draw "the full person out of the bud that was a child." Professor Erb said that this approach, the studentoriented one, is the one that the Music Department of the Univers ity of Richmond hopes to have.

Mr. Erb suggested that this approach presents a number of problems. One is that public performances by student groups may not be geared to what audiences will respond to, but he feels that in our kind of school public performances are only a by-product of the students' association with great composers. Another problem is that in a school like ours, with the emphasis heavily upon teaching rather than upon res earc h and performance, one must b e constantly alert against the dangers of second-rate performance, parti-

"The California Gold Rush presented th e young and growing city of San Francisco with seriou s monetary problems. Financial securi ty sank alarmingly low. The peril came not from military attack or marauding Indians, but from an the most exextraordinary combination of risks-perhaps traordinary ever to beset an American community not at war.

California's political status was in a fog until late in 1850; her system of land titles remained so for several years thereafter. Commodity prices-the center of speculation in those unstable, and the city's slender monetary redays-were sources were periodically threatened with extinction through the balance of payments.

A bachelor settlement with a generous number of bad actors, San Francisco had a population that fluctuated wildly from season to season and year to year. Rents and real estate prices rose and fell accordingly. Measures designed to promote personal safety were almost nonexistent. Property of all kinds was unusually exposed to arson , burglary, theft, and other hazard s. Wi th barely any insurance San Francisco suffered such frequent and heavy fire loss that she may have established a peacetime record for a community of her size.

It is no wonder loans were commonly made on a monthly basis, and that monthly rates of interest were higher than annua l rates quoted later in the century."

With th ese observations, Dr. Thomas S. Berry, associate professor of economics, begins his scholarly and interesting article, "Ordea l By Fire: The Early San Francisco Banking experience," published in The Bankers Magazine. In this article Dr. Beny describes the financial situation in San Francisco, with especia l emphasis upon banking, between 1849 and 1852.

A rash of eight major fires between December 24, 1849 and Novem b er 10, 1852 had a significant bearing upon San Francisco's money market. Most of the buildings were of rather flimsy wooden construction and this coup led with high winds and a shortage of water rendered the volunteer fire companies almost powerless to prevent the spread of the fires. Dr . Berry comments that "Each blaze was of suspicious origin; and the frequent discovery of arsonists' plants in scattered locations convinced the vast majority of the citizens they were confronted with the problem of incendiarism. Some of the malefactors sought to cover burglari es by fire, but others were more interested in looting prop erties while a fire was b eing fought , or pilfering goods brought out into th e street. Indeed, some property -owners reported more loss by pilferage than fire damage. It is notable that the (Contintted

cularly by faculty. The University, therefore, tries to have a music faculty composed of scholars who are proficient performing musicians as well. The third problem relates to the fact students in a music school spend almost all of their waking hours immersed in music . In a liberal arts college, however, the degree programs are such that more than half of the student's college instruction consists of work outside the major discipline. Mr. Erb supported this as proper in a liberal arts curriculum and felt that musicians with a liberal arts background are in the long run better artists for it. It does mean, however, that liberal arts graduates are often at a disadvantage initially in graduate schools or in their professional work.

In spite of these problems , the University of Richmond always has a bright , lively, and able group of students involved in the music program and each year there are one or two whom any professional music school would be proud of.

Professor Erb concluded by saying, "The purpose of art is, or should be, identical with the purpose of religion-to stir up the best in a man or woman and keep it stirred. If, as a by-product of this state of affairs, we please, move, or even impress an audience, well and good; if our students should all go on to become world-famous musical figures, we are of course delighted. But all these things would be a result of, not the reason for, the study of music as we want to teach it at the University of Richmond."

Then there was the highly versatile Jim Crenshaw, the transfer from Mississippi State who was most effective either as an offensiv e or defensive back. Walker Gillette return ed to school after a year's layoff and finished 18th among the nation's receiv ers ( 51 for 702 yards and three touchdowns).

He was named All-Southern Conference along with mates Terry Crum ( offensive guard) and Dav e D elgado ( defensive tackle). It was the second straight such honor for Delgado. O'Brien , Irvin, lin ebac ker Wayne Collins and defe nsiv e back Dennis ·wiley were placed on the second All-SC team.

If there was a Most Valuable Player, however, it would have to be O'Brien, a solid quarterback "who really deserves a lot of credit. I can't say too much about him ," Jones said. "Eve rybody we played knew we had to throw the ball to win. Under such circumstances it's hard to protect the quarterback, and they really came on at him."

It was an embattled season for O'Brien, and he had the face to prove it. Late in the season he was operating with two black eyes, two chipped front teeth, and assorted facial cuts and bruises, not to mention chronic sore shoulders. Still, he managed to complete

"fire months" coincided with seasonal peaks in immigration and the receipts of gold dust from the interior."

Although the fires are the most dramatic events of this era, Dr. Berry analyzes many other problems of the bankers at this time. He describes the interrelationship of the fires, interest rates ( as high as 15 percent per month), investments, the price of gold dust, the monetary system, and commodity prices. He describes the complexity of the situation as follows: "From the contemporary accounts, there is evidence of deep conflicts of interest. For example, the bankers preferred greater security , low dust prices, and higher interest and exchange rates. Merchants favored high commodity prices and low interest and exchange rates; on dust prices, they preferred stability. They also wanted an ample supply of coin representing all denominations. The miners welcomed a good supply of coin; but their overwhelming concern was to get a higher price for dust, upon which their incomes depended directly.

They had a strong preference for lower commodity prices but were mostly neutral on interest and exchange rates.

Throughout all of the article, Dr. Berry emphasizes the vitality of the city and of its economy and points out that each new disaster seemed to spur the citizens of San Francisco to greater effort.

101 of 233 passes for 1,242 yards and five touchdowns to earn him more space in the record book and a listing as the country's 21st most successful passer.

The chipped teeth were compliments of Virginia Tech , which beat a steady tempo on the Richmond quarterback who still was able to connect with Gillette for two long-range gains, one of them an 83-yard touchdown . But Tech won ( 45-14) in Blacksburg, snapping a three-game Richmond winning string that included a 42-14 triumph over Furman.

Southern Mississippi took advantage of a Richmond lapse late in the first half to score a 19-7 decision , then the Spiders rebounded for what Jones called "as perfect defe nsive game as you will see." The Citadel fell at Homecoming ( 20-3) followed by the season's highlight, a 16-7 win over long-time rival William and Mary.

The Indians were heavy favorites, and they never really came close. Richmond made one slip defensively , allowing the home team 's only touchdown via an 82yard dash through the right side when two defensive backs collided trying to make the tackle. Kellum pounded away inside . O'Brien threw outside to Gillette , and Bixiones scored both touchdowns.

It was Richmond's first victory over William and Mary in five years.

Jones was a runaway choice for Southern Conference Coach of the Year , and [ 12]

now 1967 already is last year. A concerted effort to uplift what not too long ago was a sagging athletic program is underway , and Jones , the athletic director now , too, says the job can be don e with some assistance .

First step was the hiring of a Director of Athletic Promotions or fund raiser.

Alumnus Chuck Boone was named, and a goal of $75,000 was set for th e first year. No one could recall the last tim e -if ever-such a drive for individual donations had been attempted by the University.

Additional scholarship h elp was promised. Football, for example, jumped from 60 to 80 grants-in-aid. "Firs t we have to get on a sound financial basis, and I hope that within four or five years we can be competitive with anyone on our schedule," Jones said. Future football schedules will includ e Mississippi State , the University of Florida , and Rice. "We would like to play six or seven in th e conference every year. It 's getting to b e a real strong conference in football. And we'd like to go outside the conference at least three times. If we can get them we'd like to play the big major schools ," Jones said.

At the moment, anyway, there doesn 't seem any reason why the University can't do it. Jones' optimism is infectious, and it's spreading in all directions.

Federal Aid? (Continued from page 10)

developing faculty potential is the rich field of institutes. The National Science Foundation just last month awarded $812,550 to ten colleges and universities to support Academic Year Institutes for college teachers of science and mathematics. "The grants will help more than 123 teachers from throughout the U. S. to improve the quality of their teaching by enabling them to spend an entire academic year in full-time study of their disciplines." 5 In the same month the same foundation granted $3,182,795 to 73 colleges and universities for the purpose of improving the teaching of science and mathematics in the nation's schools. One of the institutions, Wake Forest University, received $22,865 for a six week institute for 24 public school biology teachers. Such programs as these add immeasurably to the public image of the institution participating and contribute to making the campus an active center of intellectual ferment where scholars want to be. The social concern exhibited by the college community of today is nurtured by such endeavors as teacher training institutes and institutes related to civil rights which are commissioned to provide training on problems incident to desegregation.

In all, there are over 250 federal programs related to education many of which would be either unavailable or unsuitable for our University. Nevertheless, there are many which could be sought and administered to the betterment of the institution, the church, and the society. Rather than a matter of church and state, this is a question of whether the church is able to discover ways to encourage its colleges and universities to continue an honored tradition by remaining vital centers of the search for truth, a venture in which the church should have equal concern with the institutions it supports. The college of the future is being molded today and its nature and character will not be the same as we have known. Whether private institutions of higher learning have a place in this future depends largely upon imaginative and creative leadership which sees the private liberal arts college as the most cherished preserver of unhindered search for truth, the freest institution in our nation. One thing is clear, the matter is extremely urgent and demands immediate action.

The 1966-1967 Alumnae Fund showed a gratifying increase over that of 1965-1966. A total of $25,196.66 from 1190 alumnae was received, as opposed to $21,593.96 from 1114 contributors in 1966. This was still less than we had hoped for, but much alumnae money was stll going into the Progress Fund, which decreased that available for the Alumnae Fund .

Now that all Progress Fund pledges have been paid , we exp ect the Alumnae Fund to show a marked increase. Since this is the final year to complete our fund for furnishings for the Fine Arts Building (which will be ready for occupancy in the fall of 1968), every effort will be made to reach our goal by June 30, 1968 .

TOP TEN CLASSES Here are the top ten classes in amount of contribution and percentage of contrib utor s. This does not include money given though the Progress Fund .

The small faculty that fails to take advantag e of this close relationship misses one of its finest chances for personal enrichment and loses one of its important and distinctive resources for more effective teaching," he concluded.

Many faculty members felt the seminars should be continued . Interestingly , Dean Grigg reports that a number of

esthampton News 1915The new Chapel at St. Andrew's Priory, Queen Emma Square, Honolulu, Hawaii, has been given by a friend as a thank offering for life, example and friendship of Miss Margaret Kean Monteiro, Associate of the Transfiguration, missionary, teacher and counselor. In a 1966 Christmas letter to St. Andrew's, Richmond, Miss Monteiro said: "The Priory is planning many things for their 100th Anniversary in 1967. They are naming their beautiful new chapel for me, and I think it's just wonderful of them." Miss Monteiro grew up in Saint James's.

by Ruth Elliott Trice and Gladys Holleman Barlow. Florence Boston Decker was unable to attend because of the illness of her h_usband, Dr. Henry W. Decker.

Anne-Ruth Harris had two reasons for her absence-the distance from Boston and her sister's impaired health.

DR. ROBERTSTRAVELS FOR DEFENSE DEPARTMENT Dr. Marquerite Roberts of Westhampton recently journeyed to Colorado for a tour and briefing at the North American Air Defense Command headquarters there.

As a member of the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services ( DACOWITS), Dr. Roberts helps to advise the defense department on policies and standards affecting women in the military services. This trip was to the U. S. air defense control center buried 1200 feet inside a mountain near Denver.

Dr. Roberts has made inspection tours of numerous bases, both in the U. S. and Great Britain. Having talked with the service women, she said , "It's quite an inspiration to see the pride and dignity with which they represent their country."

Dr. Roberts will make other tours before her three-year term is over at the end of the year and report her findings to the defense department.

Her right side was not affected at all."

1921Gladys Lumsden McCutcheon ( Mrs. Randolph, Sr.) is with the Virginia State Health Department, in Richmond. She reminds us that women are making an encouraging record in the medical field and in health services.

She would, however, like to have more evidence that those of our vintage are pointing out to all young women the wide professional and technica I opportunities for them today in the health, medical, and related fields. She is the widow of a physician who served in the Public Health Service before going into private practice. She is the mother of a physician son, Randolph, and a daughter registered nurse, Eileen, both of whom were graduated from the Medical College of Virginia, as was their late father.

Dr. Randolph McCutcheon, Jr., is practicing in Richmond, and his wife is vice president of the Women's Auxiliary of the Richmond Academy of Medicine. Daughter Eileen, married to a banker, is nursing in a hospital in Alexandria, Virginia.

After graduation, Gladys taught school for 4 years. Upon marriage in 1925, she and Dr. McCutcheon went to West Virginia. There, he was the only physician in the large coal mining area. Those years among the miners, Gladys recalls, were engraved in her consciousness. She saw and appreciated the struggle of those who wrest their livelihood subsurface.

In 1939, a widow, Gladys renewed her teaching certificate and was a substitute teacher in the Richmond schools.

Today, her granddaughter, 10 years old, and her grandsons, 9 and 5, are being oriented to Westhampton and to Richmond Collegeand to medical and health careers.

Inez Watkins Cluverius (Mrs. W. B., Jr.), lives in ,vest Point, teaches in New Kent, and uses as her permanent address St. Stephens Church-all in Virginia.

New Kent, where Inez teaches English and History in the high school, is 12 commuter miles from West Point. So the week goes. But weekends and vacations are spent at the home place that the Cluveriuses keep up for their retirement.

Come this June, after 45 years of teaching, and a full life for her husband as lumber inspector, they move into their St. Stephens Church home.

Inez left Westhampton in her Junior year when an appendectomy interrupted her studies.

Some of her summers and evenings during winters have been devoted to courses and extension work in Education, English, and History conducted by the Universities of Virginia

[ 20]

and North Carolina and William and Mary College. Currently, extra-curricular school activities include those of drama coach and editor of the school paper, "The Rebel."

She is a life member of PT A; has served twice as Worthy Matron of Eastern Star; is president of the literary Monday Club of West Point; and is active in the King and Queen County Woman's Club.

Mary Hart Willis Winfrey ( Mrs. H.B.) lives in Sperryville, Virginia. She recalls those days after graduation from Westhampton, when she continued her studies at the University of Virginia, toward a Masters Degree. Her 36 years of teaching, however, crowded out the thesis for the degree. The Culpeper and the Rappahannock County High Schools were among her posts, where she taught mathematics, history and English.

With her husband, who for 46 years taught and served as high school principal, she is enjoying retirement. Community life and the beauty of surrounding mountains provide meaning and contentment for the Winfreys.

Ruth Hoover Lide ( Mrs. Boardman A.) is living in her family home place at Clifton Forge, Virginia. Her picture carried here appeared initially in the Bennettsville ( S. C.) High School Annual, with the students' citation: Our sincere appreciation for your constant helpfulness and willing service . . .

After graduation from Westhampton, Ruth taught Latin, French , English, and social subjects in the Valley High School, Hot Springs, Virginia. She was als •J assistant principal, coached in public speaking and debating, and accompanied the teams on their contest tours.

Next, she taught in the Bennettsville High School, French and English. The illness of her mother, however, required her return home.

During the following 23 years, she continued her career ( which included that of assistant editor of the county paper during a return to Bennettsville); cared for the health of her parents; married in 1926; established her family of one son; and adjusted to widowhood in 1929.

She has continued to teach. At the death of her father, she succeeded him as postmaster.

Son Hoover B. Lide is field representative in the Virginia Department of Mental Health and Hygiene. His wife teaches music in the elementary schools and in a night class at Roanoke Polytechnic Institute (RPI).

Over the years, Ruth has given of her leadership, working continuously with youth groups; teaching Sunday School; fully participating in the Woman's Missionary Society; serving as Group Leader in the Augusta Baptist Association's WMS work. She says, "I'm very rich in friends."

1940A chat with Saddye Williams gave news of a trip we'd all have enjoyed. She was the guest of her sister Louise on the first leg of the last round trip of the Queen Mary. While en route there were formal evening parties with other guests such as Mrs. Edward R. Murrow, Leopold Stokowski and others, excellent cuisine and plenty of other activities.

After touching at Cherbourg and debarking at Southampton, they spent ten days in London, seeing some of the worthwhile things. There was a trip down to Kent where Saddye was strongly reminded of the Canterbury Tales.

In London they saw the Royal Mews where the horses and coaches of the royal family are kept, this not being a regular tourist feature . They also saw the Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower which has been going on uninterrupted for five hundred years.

Our wonderful visit at the home of Eleanor and Bob Fish this summer has made it seem a shorter distance to California. Edith Ann, the oldest daughter, had a second little boy in September. It was a busy time for Ellie who took care of little Glenn , then the family when they came from the hospital, after which her whole family came down with various illnesses and were sick for about a month.

She has just been discharged by her orthopedic surgeon as recovered from the injuries sustained in an accident last October.

Our deepest sympathy goes to Jane Aler Van Leeuwen who recently lost her husband.

1944After I had mailed my letter in September I received two long letter s from Dot Monroe Hill and Ann Burcher Stansbury. So along with a nice Christmas card ( with letter ) from Ellen Mercer Clark Maxwell, I may have enough information to make this my longest letter yet. Don't let that discourage you though from sending me long involved letters to carry me through the drought of summer.

Dot's letter was so interesting. Fleet had spent the summer in South America participating in a program called "Project of the Americas." She was two months in Ecuador, one month in Quito, and the rest travelingexploring the jungle or living with the Indians high in the mountains. She spent a week

in Bogota , Colombia on the way home and brought with her a cusumbo ( night monkey) that sleeps all day and plays all night. Here's what Dot says about this addition to the family, "I was overwhelmed when Fleet arrived home with him, but have been thoroughly converted as a monkey-lover."

Dot's summer was busy . She took several excursions in connection with the church youth program, such as camping with the Junio1· High group, and one Virginia Conference travel seminar on Christian Citizenship to Washington and New York. Dot says, "I am more and more impressed with the depth probing by our youth for answers to the problems of the days."

Gloria Tyler Robertson is working on her PhD. this fall. Do we have anyone else who has been so ambitious?

Ann's Barbie is teaching elementary music near Champaign , Ill. while her husband completes his doctoral thesis at the University of Ill. Susan entered Westhampton this fall along with Doris Hedgepeth Neal's Kathy, and Ann, Warren, Doris and Frank chatted at the tea for Freshmen and their parents.

Billy Jane Crosby Baker was also involved in Orientation, helping get the book-shop ready for the first day of classes. Winn Stansbury , age 20, was assigned first to a radio course at Camp Pendleton and now is a Lance Corporal with the Marines in Vietnam. Ann spends her time stuffing Air Mail letters with clippings and Kool Aide to keep Winn informed of their family activities.

I think Ellen Mercer must be the most widely traveled member of our group. 1968 will be the Year of the Sabbatical for them.

Keith plans to study methods of Speech Pathology in Barcelona, Padua, Copenhagen and Stockholm. The y will leave in January and return in June. Ellen Mercer sent me a copy of their schedule and 2 notes. It includes visits to Rome, to Helsinki and to London also.

Natura lly, she is not teaching this year though she did do a survey of Latin poetry and a Spanish 102 class for C. M. U. last spring.

letiu. Only Marion Lawton Kinzey answered (standing in for Mary Fraces Bethel Wood), so all of our news this time will be from Marion's wondel'ful letter.

Mary Frances did not answer herself because she was working on make-up and securing hostesses for the Museum Theater production of "The Women" given at the Virginia Museum of Art in late November. Jeanne Yeamans also worked in the play, with a speaking part as the Second Sales Lady ( consisting of two lines as I understand it) .

Jeanne and her niece and mother went to Europe this summer. So did Virginia Stewart with her mother and her daughter Susan.

Virginia broke her ankle in Spain, but completed the tour in spite of that disability.

Libby Thompson Schmidt's daughter Lee was another tourist in Europe this summer.

In October, Marion Lawton Kinsey and her husband Johnny went to England for two and a half weeks. Marion's letter says, "It was a business trip for Johnny so while he worked in London, I spent the time sight-seeing. Then on weekends we went outside of Loudon and were able to see Hampton Court, Windsor Castle, Stratford-on-Avon, Oxford, Warwick Castle, Sulgrave Manor , and Coventry." Sounds marvelous!

Mary Frances Coleman is quite pleased with her brand new apt. at 6336 Wingate St., #202, Alexandria, Va., and has enjoyed decorating it-being the first occupant. She still finds the Justice Dept.'s Criminal Division a vital place to work.

As of October Susan Payne was still using a cane for long distance walking but is able to drive again. Her skiing accident last winter really incapacitated her for quite a long tme.

Currently, she's taking a principles of Economics course plus Fundamentals of Drawing and Composition and is enjoying them both.

Betty Jean Stamps has a new name and address: Mrs. D. E. Bryant, 2752 Mack Smith Road, Rossville, Georgia 307 41. Don is with United Airlines, and he and B. J. were married in May. Don has also officially adopted Beth, who is in the second grade this year.

A long, interesting letter arrived in November from Betsy Minor Stafford. "After Tom's death from cancer in July of '66, the children and I returned to Tallahassee to try to decide what to do with our lives . We had been there for nearly six years while Tom was working toward his M.S. and Ph.D. in Geology at F.S.U. It seemed almost like home, since two of our four children were born there, and a logical place to return to. I resumed my activities with the Tallahassee Little Theater and was tremendously pleased to receive their award for Best Actress both last year and this. Tommy 9, Carl 8, Parris 6, and Parker 2, are all doing very well. I grow prouder of them everyday. Over the last few years I have enjoyed a small success, locally, as a folk singer. I was thrilled to be able to sing with a group called "The Fourth Day Windfall' at the Florida Folk Festival in White Springs last May. I am now setting aside my artistic interests for a while, because I plan to be married at Christmas time to David McCommon, an electronics engineer at F.S.U., who has shown great concern for and kindness toward the children and me over the last year.

They and I agreed that he would be a fine addition to our group, and so we have accepted his proposal to join forces. We will be married on December 26 at my parents ' home in Newton, Va. After that date I may be reached by writing to Betsy Minor McCommon (Mrs . D. H.), 24 Bayberry Lane, Tanglewood Estates, Tallahassee, Fla. 32304.-

Last winter and spring I played bridge with a group that included Elaine Pettingill Rigby and it seemed like old times. She and her husband have become extremely interested in duplicate bridge and are excellent at it. It was a real joy to play with her." -Betsy also planned to be in Richmond for Reh Steckman's wedding on Dec. 16 and hoped to get together with some of the 59ers for "a cup of coffee and some reminiscing."

So! We know that Elaine Pettingill Rigby is back from Germany and is at 10 Caroline Court, Tallahassee, Fla. 32304.

Arlene Olson Jones sent Elaine's address, then ran off to Germany herself! She and 0. C. have been in Keister back ( near Frankfurt) since mid-summer, '67. Her address is: OL #1 52 MAS(MAC); APO New York, N.Y. 09057. She is busy learning German and planning tours to take while O.C. is busy. She is "retiring from teaching" while over there.

Arlene also sent a new address for Mary Lee Fountain Ward and Don: 1150 Glade Hill Drive, Knoxville, Tenn. 37921.

Becky Webb Moran and John are back in Richmond after six months in Roanoke (Feb. to July '67) while John was in orthopedics at Roanoke Memorial Hospital. Mark and Leslie are both in school at Mary Munford and Michael ( age 3) is looking for a playmate.

Becky probably has a new address.

Jackie Connell Atkinson said that while in Roanoke for Thanksgiving "I had my annual telephone conversation with Peggy Powell Daniel. She and Wimpy had a great time at Homecoming in Richmond in the fall. " Jackie and her family were looking forward to being with her parents in Orlando, Florida, for Christmas. She also mentioned that her letters to Carol Berlin Kerpelman and Nancy Huff Harmon were returned, "Unknown at this address". Anyone keeping track of them?

Jackie ha s "found" Doris Turner Whitestone through the D.C. Area Alumnae Chapter Directory! Her address is 537 Homer Road, Woodbridge, Va. 22191. She and David have recently moved into a new house with their two sons, J. D. ( 3 yrs.) and Matthew ( 1).

Sue Matthews Wright and Jack are very happy with Blacksburg and VPI and hav e moved to 868 Hutcheson Lane, Blacksburg ,

Va. Jack is acting chairman of the Psychologv Dept. this year. · Dorothy Deering is living at 508 S. Fess Apt. 2, Bloomington, Indiana 47401 , and con'. tinning work toward a Ph.D. at Indiana University. She has enjoyed doing some entertaining and still finds time for two jobs. She teaches a class in freshmen composition and also serves as research assistant on the Victorian Studies Periodicals Project.

Our "sightseer", Gary Moore Barnes, has returned to Huntsville, Ala. and their home "wi th its year's supply of dust." She and Bill enjoyed a glorious and invigorating autumn in New England.

Our final change of address is from World Traveler ( Margaret Spencer) Hernandez. "The children and I are all settled in Italy now.

We live in Tirrenia, a small resort town on the western coast of Italy. We're very close to Pisa, and the children, and I too, I must admit, will never stop being fascinated by the Leaning Tower. We're not very far from Florence, either. It's a fascinating town and its art treasures are breathtaking. I've 'been able to meet Jess in several ports when the ship has been anchored nearby: Naples, Taranto ( southern Italy), and Barcelona. About 25 wives from the ship live here. We have our own little sorority. Most of us drive Volkswagens and I guess we're easily identifiedmost Italians drive Fiats since they're made in Italy and relatively cheaper. There is an American Army base here where Brian goes to school. I also can do my shopping for food and American luxuries like cosmetics, Kleenex, and hamburgers at the snack bar! It's amazing how good a hamburger can taste after several weeks of pasta, etc. Guess I'm not a good traveller in not appreciating European cuisine as much as I should-But when you can see Europe and get 'home cooking' at least part of the time, you really have it made! Our drive through Germany and Switzerland and northern Italy was beautiful. We visited Frankfurt, Heidleberg, Lucerne, and Milan and saw lovely scenery all along the way: The Rhine Valley, The Alps, and the Italian Lake Country. I understand that Jackie Wright Morris, '58, and her husband Bob , R.C., '56, are in Germany but so far we haven 't been able to make contact-keep getting and sending messages through our parents and friends. Bob is a chaplain, and returned from Viet Nam not long ago.-By March , '68, I'll probably be back home at 651-A Oriskany Street; U. S. Naval Station-Mayport; Jacksonville , Fla. 32227.

Bev Brown Floyd was quite excited over the prospect of Ruth Adkins Hill spending a day or two with her in Oakland Park, Fla. while Bob attended a convention in Miami.

Bev reported that J.P. has added another parttime job to his schedule: serving as chaplain at a nearby road prison. He is also on the Board of Directors for their county's Office of Economic Opportunit y. Meanwhile Bev 's "p roject" is being counselor for the Jr. and Sr. Higl1 students at their church.

Peggy Dulin Crews and Merrill are also doing a lot of work with church groups. Peg is a G.A. counselor, Merrill is an R.A. counselor, "and we both are counselors for a 17-yr. old Training Union group. I also keep busy with substitute school-teaching and volunteer hospital work. We still like Florida and think abou you all and the cold weather!"

Cynthia Patteson Douglas wrote that their church "is growing in all directions. Construeion has started on a $70,000 educational building, which will almost double our class room space.''

Sue Sybert Ritter reports that "Fred has made over 1000 calls with a total of 7000 to make. We expect services to begin the 7th of January ." Sue has lost 8 lbs. running back and forth in their larger house. She attended

the last meeting of the area W.C. Alumnae Club in Virginia Beach.

Nancy Taylor is bus y planning for her wedding in February to Jimmie Rowe. He returned from Viet Nam in August and is practicing law in Courtland, Va. Nancy Kipps Hughey and Ray are both teaching Young People in S.S. this year and Kippy also ha s the Intermediate G.A.'s again.

Ray started a project in the fall to put in some walkways and a patio. His work keeps him extra busy too , not to mention their 5acre lawn. Mike loves every minute of kindergarten , and we receive quite a fuss if he has to miss a day for any reason. There are two sessions of kindergarten here this year.

Mike goes to the afternoon session for the first half year, and I really like the arrangement-then he 's here to play with Jo Anne in the mornings and away while she naps.

I'll be sorr y to see the schedule change in Feb ."-She and Ray enjoyed a week 's vacation in September at his home in Easley, S. C., and at Isle of Palms, S. C. "At that time of year we had the beach mostly to ourselves."

They also helped to get Ray's sister off to college- she's a freshman at Furman this year.

Shirley Gordon Highfill claims that Ann is a dynamic little being. Jerry is beginning work toward hi s doctorate following a two-year respite after getting his Master's. Shirley has enjoyed a week ly (n ight ) lecture at U.Va. on Greek Civilization.

Barbara Dulin Polis says that Charlie is now a major in the USAF. We still don't know our new assignment for next year (July)hope to go overseas" They're spending their vacation in April at the Hemis-fair there in San Antonio.

Margaret Griffin Thompson and Art have special news this time. They have adopted a little girl, born Oct. 7, 1967, named Margaret Emily . Emily was three days old when Margaret got her, the same day Art flew back from Puerto Rico for two weeks, "so at 3 days and 4 hours old Emily took her first auto ride to Cherry Point to pick up her Daddy. She is a doll-really pretty and is so good except for her eating. (My life has become a round of bottles, bottles, and more bottles. The doctor had me feeding her every two hoursshe started out taking only one ounce of milk per feeding and at 8 weeks still takes only two to three ounces. However the force feeding has paid off, and she's starting to gain.)

Talk about busy-I don't know the meaning of the word.-Art went to Vieques, Puerto Rico, the 14th of September to be Executive Officer of Camp Garcia and will be there until February ." Margaret signed her lett er "Margaret and Emily ( Class of 1990) ".

I had a nice letter from Bonnie Lewis Haynie. "Martha Jordan Chukinas, Warren and George, along with Peggy Powell Daniel, and Wimpy, came to Richmond for Homecoming and spent the weekend with us. We had such a good time getting together. We all went to the football game and to the H.C. dance. A nice weekend. Martha and Peggy both look great. -Did you know that Elizabeth Ramos Dunkum and Ellis adopted another little boy? Got him Homecoming Weekend."

Maybe Elizabeth will have time to fill in the vital statistics in the next Bulletin.

Bev Wine Bowers says, "No news from us.

New opportunities are opening up daily for the business and the babies are progressing nicely.-Hope this finds you completely settled in your new home so you will have plenty of time to get ready for Christmas. Ha-that would be too good to be true! We've been in this house almost two years now and we still have plenty of settling to do."

She's right too. Everything here is un_packed but that's about as far as we've gotten! I haven 't really had time to investigate the cultural possibilities yet and haven't met too

many people, but there are a lot of things going on at Longwood College.-Thanks for all the news. It was very interesting this time ( as usual!). Next deadline is Feb. 28-March 1.

MRS. RALPH L. HAGA, JR. ( Carolyn Nash) Prospect, Virginia 23960

1960We have some address changes for the class: please inform me, as well as Mrs. Booker 's office, of any address changes as soon as possible so we can keep in touch. Sally Evans Hayes has moved to the Washington, D. C. area; her new address is 8234 Carrleigh Parkway, Springfield, Va. Jim was transferred there recently and is flying 727's for American Airlines. Sally is happy to be back in the Southland as a full-time housewife now and invites anyone who happens to be in the vicinity to come by and visit. Sally and Jim "fo und" Sandy Strang in Texas this summer when they boarded the same plane. Sandy is an instructor for American Airlines Stewardess School in Dallas, and seems to be very happy with her work.

Kitty Whitby Fiege and husband John made an important move this summer when John enrolled in a D.Ed. program at Illinoi s State University. Her new ad dress is North Tower, West Campus, Normal, Illinois, 61761. Kitty has an exciting job on the University faculty as assistant director of North Tower, a 12story residence hall with a population of 400 freshmen! Kitty and John enjoyed the spectacle of Homecoming weekend at Illinois State this fall, a Midwest tradition which I hear is quite impressive. The Fieges plan to be there for 2 years.

We have a new area secretary for the Norfolk-Portsmouth vicinity, Lynn Mapp Wiggins.

This summer Lynn and Ben brought a house which overlooks the Elizabeth River and has a dock for their boat right in the back yard.

Lynn says they have been working very hard

painting and decorating this fall. She is doing volunteer service in the children's wing of Portsmouth General Hospital now. They live across the river from Sarah Hudgins Rice and Fred . Sarah is teaching 5 classes of English at Churchland Jr. High School instead of Deep Creek Jr. High as I reported last time. Olivia Ames, who is working for the Telephone Compan y in Portsmouth, flew to Spain and Portugal for a very exciting visit this fall.

Lynn tells us that Juanita Ainsley is now the supervisor for occupational therapy in a Chicago hospital. Juanita may be reached at Apt. 3-B, 5847 South Blackstone Ave., Chicago , Illinois, 60637.

I have one more new address for you to note: Joyce Birdsall is now in Baltimore and her address is 4300 Eldone, Baltimore, Md. 21229.

One bit of vacation news came a little late for the last issue; Evalane Green Slaughter and Bill decided to avoid the crowds at Expo '67 and see another part of Canada this summer, so they took a September trip to Niagara Falls ·and Ontario, then on to Minneapolis.

If anyone wants to know what's going on at the University of Richmond these days, Jane Morris Dobyns is the person to talk to. Jane is working in the Alumnae office and recently helped out part time in the book store of the Tea Room. Jane says it was fun to meet the present Westhampton students, and she enjoys working with the Alumnae office very much.

Jane and Raymond have recently taken up bicycle riding as a hobby.

We have another new area secretary in Richmond; Alice Clement Boone is taking the place of Jeanette McWilliams Welsh. Alice says she saw Phyllis Jenkins Polhemus and Bob at Homecoming , and also Shirley Satterfield Flynn and Les. They had a fine time catching up with each other's news at the reception after the game. We heard from some other classmates now living in Richmond

Luigi DeCosta has written a fascinating letter from Family Service Centre, 5 Convent Street , Fort, Colaba, Bombay 1 India. "I have maintained a sporadic correspondence with Jessie Scarborough and Reenie Rousos so bits of WC news have drifted in occasionally. Jessie sent me the Reunion Photograph and program signed by all the gals. I've loved both mementos-please thank everyone. You've asked for news from India and I simply don 't know where to begin. Have completed two years here ; am beginning my third ( you see, I requested a 1 year's extension). Have been extremely involved and happy in my work here . . . perhaps a brief description will suffice. My job site is a tiny, one-room Family Service Centre . .. we work with the poor , aiding with such problems as employment, adoption and foster care of children, ration distribution ( these food stuffs come from the States-wheat, milk powder, cooking oil), marital counseling ( on a small scale), medical assistance and my pet project; a Sponsorship program for education of children from the slums. Presently we have over 100 youngsters whose education is being paid for by both foreign and Indian families ( generally middle class or well-to-do people who have assumed responsibility for a child who would not be able to secure an education without their aid).

My job is securing children and sponsors and getting them together. Special hope is to develop the Indian program; so often India turns

[ 30]

to foreign sources for solutions to their problems when they are quite capable of helping themselves. Our children range in age; kindergarten to college students. A few are receiving special instruction in trade schools or sewing and tailoring classes. The hope is to help them become independent, and perhaps free from the hardships of their parents. It's a slow, painful process. We plod along hoping for the best, delighting in the 'successes' and trying not to repeat the failures. All religions come; Hindus, Muslims and Christians. Customs and languages may differ but human needs appear the same. I'm coming home for Christmas-5 glorious weeks-so excited I can hardly contain my anticipation . Will enjoy brief stop-overs in Rome and Portugal ( relative visiting will be main activity; my first visit to Dad's birth-place ) . Entire noisy DeCosta clan will be reunited for the holidaysMom will probably carry on in true Portuguese fashion-crying every other moment .

Dick ( my older brother) is married and working in the construction line while baby Bill ( 23 Yrs.) is attending University of Oregon graduate school. Have come to love this country-wondering if I wasn 't Indian in another life .. . will surely consider this land my second home. Indian music and dance has caught my fancy. Also Yoga . Have been taking Yoga lessons for several months-ours is a tiny Yogie Institute facing the sea . Contrary to the impression created by the Beatles mystic, there is little or no hocus pocus connected with Yoga. Idea is to improve one 's general health through diet and exercise. With the physical improvement comes the possibility of mental preparation for serious meditation.

If you can discipline your body then you can attempt the same with the mind. Unfortunately , I'll never make it as I'm downright sloppy when it comes to self discipline. Nonetheless, am enjoying the experience. Have lived with 4 Indian families; Hindu, Muslim, Goan Catholics ( Goa is the tiny Portuguese colony on coast of India-now India claim s the territory as its own and majority of Port have fled) as well as a Parsee couple. Thh was particularly fun as the Parsee gentleman was a magician and I assisted in his show.

We were doomed to failure ... show folded after 9 performances. ( Attempted that famous Houdini trick-locking a person in a trunk and within 5 seconds releasing them . Our 5 seconds stretched into 50 minutes and we had to call a locksmith to release the assistant.)

I simply wouldn 't have traded these past two years for any other experience in the world .

Am so grateful and only hope this coming year will prove as fruitful. " Mary Catherine Sellers Dunn and Jim have some happ y news. Michael Llewellyn was born on November 10 and brother Maurice who is 4 is ver y thrilled with his new brother.

Mary Catherine has also requested that we all send things for the scrapbook. She says that we still do not have very much, so let's all remember to make a special effort to send something this month.

A letter from Margaret Denman in October brings this interesting news "Today is my last day in Kochet and I travel to Heidelberg tomorrow to enroll at the Dolmetscher Institute to continue learning German. I've been accepted at the University of Heidelberg to study European history for my M.A. I Hew to Guam where I caught a Pan Am Hight to Tokyo, stayed there 4 days and got my tour straightened out with the Japan-Soriet Tourist Bureau. My trip again there was spent mostly getting checks cleared, visas , etc. I left June 18 by M / V Baikal from Yokohama and docked at Nakhodka, Siberia. Then by TransSiberia RR to Khabarorsk. I Hew to Iskutsk , visited Lake Baikal and Brotsk, north of Iskutsk. Then I took the Trans-Peking RR from Iskutsk to Ulan Bator, capital of Mongolia, where I stayed 3 days and Hew back to

lskutsk. 1 visited all 15 republics and capitals and a total of 30 of the 67 cities opened by Intourist. I made 2 very good friends there.

As far as I know , my 10 week tour is the longest ever booked by Japan and I met only 1 couple who were in the USSR IO weeks, a professor and wife from Mary Washington.

I travelled by plane through Central Asia, but once I got to European Russia I went by train wherever they allowed it, also by bus and taxi. I took 900 slides."

Again, I wish to express my thanks to all the group leaders, and may I suggest that each of you check with the alumnae office if you receive no response to your letters. It has been called to my attention that many of the addresses are incorrect because of the many moves we all make. Please if you do have a change of address send it to Mrs. Booker, your group leader and to me.

1964In addition to the educational advantages and greater possibilities for self-development to be had in the relatively small college of

One of these necessities costs lessthan it usedto.

Which one?

It isn't food. Everybody knows what's happened to the cost of food. Clothing costs are also up.

And houses and apartments cost more than ever before.

Electricity costs less than it used to. Vepco has reduced resi-

dential rates three times in the last five years. In fact, electricity actua lly costs less than it did in 1941. (That's when sirl oin steak sold for 19c a pound.)

Electricity is such a bargain today and there are so many use-

ful appliances, that the average family uses about five times as much as it did in 1941.

So, if your electric bill is a little higher, you are using a lot more electricity. Because it costs a lot less.

Vepco more power to you ... at less cost

Westhampton, there is the opportunity to form lasting friend ships that continue for years after we have all gone our separate ways following graduation. I have been particular ly impressed with thi s, as news items for this issue reveal, and result from some of these continuing contacts with old friends.

It had been a little over a year since we three roomies last got together, but in early November Linda Fridley came down from Philadelphia to visit and help me to give a surprise baby shower for Gloria Harris Leber.

On November 22, Glor gave birth to a baby girl, Laura Marie. Congratulations, old roomie!

Betsy Uhl wrote that one evening while she and Linda were shopping in Philadelphia, someone tapped them on the shoulder and said, "Pardon me, could you tell me where College is?" It was Sarah Westhampton Ruschhaupt's father, who then revealed the exciting news that Sarah is to be married on April 13 to Gilbert Crippen. They both teach Sandra Crowder Mcschoo l in Hampton.

Donald and Dottie Williams are to participate in the wedding.

Jackie Harper was married December 16 and Helen Flynn Walton was one of her attendants. And as reported earlier, December 16 also saw the marriage of Pat Dabney to Mr. William Allen Denton. They plan to buy a house in the Hampton area and both plan to continue teaching.

That was a great day for weddings; one reason that I could not have attended Pat's wedding was because I was to sing for Karen Scott's wedding to Edgar Heath. Karen atfor two years before tended Westhampton transferring to G.W. She will continue to work for a Ca lifornia Congressman while the Army is send ing Ed to Ma1·yland U .

While talking with Betty Cheyney, I learned of another romance involving a two-year W.C. student, Jeanne Watson. A trip to Hawaii to take a course in scuba diving was too much separation for her beau, who called long-di stance and proposed that they get married upon her return. They were married in Arlington on August 20, and will both return to teaching on Balboa Island, California.

I also learned from Betty that Cindy Morgan's job in D.C. fell through, enabling her to take advantage of an opportunity to go to London to do work in mental rehabilitation with a private firm there. She had a three month trial period before deciding whether to sign a three-year contract.

Betty had a busy Christmas musically , as she sang the role of Mary in her Church's production of J. C. Bach 's "The Childhood of Christ" on December 10. Even more exciting, on December 16 her children's Crusader Choir gave a concert at the Pageant of Peace on the White House Elipse.

Judy Barnhart Parr wrote that Hecky Hen derson White is very happy with St. Louis.

Ellen Clute visited them last summer before returning to school in California.

It is a good thing that classmates do get together on their own, for our class certainly does not seem to take advantage of formal alumnae functions to reunite . Elsa Quenn Falls wrote that she attended the alumnae dinner during homecoming weekend and was disappointed over how few of our class were there.

She may have missed some people , but all that she saw were Sandra Belcher Ryan, Madeline Crenshaw Bulls , Joan Hoch Yowell, and Carol Goode Jones. It would be wonderful if more of the class of '64, particularly those near Richmond, could make it to these functions.

Elsa also reported that she has starte d work on a Master's Degree in Biology at the University, and that Cape Beirne is still teaching at University Junior College.

Brenda Griffiths wrote that Charlotte Pringle

Opsahl and her husband still am in Ames, Iowa where he is working on his Ph.D. in chemical engineering at Iowa State . Charlotte has been working as Departmental Secretary at the University. They are planning to return to Richmond after this year.

Susie Fleming and her husband Roger are living in Cocoa, Fla. where she teaches school.

She also is completing her Master's Degrne in education.

Marian Binder Sacks, husband Shelly, and parakeet, Max, have just moved to their new home in Carp Springs, Md. Marian is an economist for the Office of Business Economics, making quarterly estimates of total personal income by States. Shelly is a procurement analyst for the GSA. I under stand that Kendal East Mitchell, Joe, and dog, Dolly, also have moved to a new home in Richmond where they both teach.

Bev Davis Walters' husband Bill was recently named Personnel Director of David M. Lea & Co. in Richmond.

Hedy Bernard Rosenstock and her husband are at Ft Huachuca, Ariz. They thoroughly enjoyed their trip to California last summer.

Bucky Hanbury Daniel is enjoying living at Ft. Benning, Georgia where her husband is stationed. Alice DeCamps took a M.L.S. at Chapel Hill and is now working at the Richmond Public Library.

And now some more exciting news on births.

The Fitchett twins each had sons last fall!

Robert Coleman Harvey, Jr., was born to Jane and Bob on September 17, and King Fitchett Tower was born to Susie and Guy on October 13. Won't those cousins have fun getting together as they grow up!

From all of the marriages and new homes reported in this column, there should result some address changes! Please send any new address through your group leader or directl y to me , so we can keep up with you.

MRS. C. R. BuRRELL (Jackie Harper) ll05 West End Blvd., Winston-Salem, N.C. 27104

1967It would seem that the Class of '67 has quickly settled into its life-outside-college rut , Most of my correspondence indier-routine. cates that little has changed since the last issue of the Bulletin. Nine to fivers are still plugging away in their pine paneled executive offices in cities around the world, grad school people continue to burn the midnight candle ( from both ends, no doubt), and teachers wrestle with their same problems-kids!

Homecoming provided an opportunity for greeting, eating, and catching up on the latest news from everyone. Wish more of you could have made it to the banquet on Friday night.

Jt was great to see everyone, and Mrs. Arnall outdid herself on the turkey dinner.

Among tho ·se who were able to attend the banquet were Pat Shands, Brownie Sales ola Rice, Barbara Southall, Ann Tucker, Pearson, Lisa Hummel, Mary Ann James Christian, Ann Pomeroy, and Judy McCann.

(My apologies if I've omitted anyone.)

Several more of our group will soon be adding their names to the growing group of

O.M.F.'s ( Old Married Folks). Pat Shands is engaged to Carl Neidhardt who is now a graduate school student in biology at the University of Auburn. A summer wedding is planned. Many congrats, Pat! Jill Jones, another of those diamond wearing grads , became engaged in October. Her fiance is E. Garrott Staley Maxwell, Jr. , a 1967 graduate of Virginia Military Institute. "Gary" is a sales analyst with General Electric in Schenectady, New York.

She is a ground hostess for all the VIP 's who Hy Pan Am. Her address is 107 North Baylor Drive , Sterling Park, Virginia. Cher yl also wrote that Vicky Miller is engaged to Richard Edwards. Wedding plans call for a June wedding.

Bev Noble was in Richmond during the Thank sgiving holida y and ha s written that she plans to return for Christmas. She seems to be enjoyin g her work for IBM. Remember last year this time when all those math majors were sweating it out in calculus class? Now it take s all the calculus and math knowled ge these girl s have just to keep track of all money the y're undoubt edl y stockpiling!

Charlotte Waldrop , on one of her recent travels for the Federal Reserve , was in Durham where she saw Suzie Walls Carey and Nanc y Sharpe Dickinson. While there she also talked with Lacy Gordon Cundiff, one of our O.M.F.'s who is bu sy trying to keep up with the little one. All's well in Durham .

Apologies to Joan Odland Cocker and to others whom I may have confused concerning Joan 's address . I've concluded that I must have dreamed that she and Bob had moved .

Bob did go into the army in September, and knowing this, I must have convinced myself that the y had moved. At any rate, their addre ss at present is still 905 North Pollard Street , Apt. 3, Arlington , Virginia 22203.

Hitting the books again is Nancy Cox Peters who is studying School Psychology at the University of North Carolina. Husband Bill is a graduate student in physics at U.N.C. Pat Brown writes that she, too, is looking forward to Christmas vacation. She is taking a "crash " program of fifteen hours per quarter plus working on a thesis .

Alyce McGinnis became Mrs. Stephen Lawrence on October 21. She and Steve will make their home in Norfolk.
