COACHES ANDKKSON. PATUiCk

TO ATTEND AELMM DAY

Oglethorpe's grand old man of base- ball, Frank Anderson, and the long- time exponent of footballs' colorful military shift, John Patrick, will be in attendance on Alumni Day. Both have acknowledged invitations to be here and exchange reminisces with and about former Oglethorpe athletes. Anderson, considered one of the pre- mier college baseball coaches of the nation, directed Oglethorpe teams from 1916 to 1943. Patrick, one of the finest linemen ever to play for Oglethorpe, succedded Harry Robert- son as head coach in 1935 and carried on until Oglethorpe discontinued foot- ball after the 1941 season.

UNIVERSITY LIBRARY SEEKS OLD ISSUES OF THE YAMACRAW

The library would like to have a complete tile of the "Yamacraw." They are missing the issues of 1927. 1928, 1933, 1935, 1938, 1939, and 1940. if you have an issue of any one of the missing years and would consid- er donating it to the library, the Uni- versity would be most grateful.

kiu(;e selected for Sidney lamer poetry award

The first annual Sidney Lanier Po- etry Award was presented March 7, to Dr. George Ross Ridge for his book "Under the Georgia Sun."

This award was set up in memory of the Georgia poet Sidney Lanier who was a student at Oglethorpe University from 1857 to I860. The award win- ning book becomes a part of the Sid- ney Lanier Memorial Collection in the Oglethorpe University Library.

COACH ROBERTSON DIES

Harold John (Harry) Robertson, the inspired football coach who led the Petrels in the mid-twenties and early thirties, died Jan. 7 in a veterans' hospital in Coral Gables, Fla. He was 65.

Coach Harry, often called a "foot- ball genius", succeeded his brother "Big Jim" Robertson as an Oglethorpe University coach.

He boosted the Petrels to the SI A A title in 1925. Following this triumph, his team was invited to Miami for a New Years Day game with Rollins. This is believed to have been the first genuine Orange Bowl game — or at least the precedent for the series which came after.

Victory laurels came in abundance to Robertson. His galloping teams beat such grid iron giants as Georgia Tech, Georgia and Manhattan College.

He is survived by his wife, Florence, who still lives in Dania. Fla., Coach Harry's retirement home; a sister Mrs. Henrietta Lewis, also of Florida, and Brother Jim, who now operates a store in Cape Cod, Mass.

Lively, prankish and warmhearted. Coach Harry will be remembered fondly by many O.U. old grads.

FACULTY GRANTED FURTHER PAY INCREASES

Oglethrope's faculty salaries will be increased again in 1962-63. Dr. Don- ald C. Agnew announced that the Board of Trustees has authorized an increase for the coming year approxi- mating 15'; of total faculty salary outlay. This follows a similar increase granted in 1961-62.

Also in 1961. the Trustees initiated a faculty retirement plan.

Oglethorpe has one of the finest faculties in the nation. Nearly half of the faculty members hold doctoral de- grees or the equivalents, compared to a national average of less than 25 'Xr .

This latest faculty salary increase is a further step toward the Trustees' goal of making faculty salaries at Ogle- thorpe University higher than any comparable insitutions.

4 NAMED TO BOARD OF TRUSTEES

The Board of Trustees of Ogle- thorpe University named four new members at the Annual Meeting Feb- ruary 12th. Elected were Howard G. Axelberg "40. Judge Thomas L. Camp "25, R. L. Dempsey "27. and Howard K. Thranhardt "35.

FORWARD OGLETHORPE FUND FORGES AHEAD OF LAST YEAR

Thanks to the interest and generosi- ty of her loyal alumni, the school's Forward Oglethorpe Fund has already surpassed the totals achieved for all of

last year.

Chairman Phil Hildreth '34 an- nounced that contributions exceed 526,000.00 compared to the .S24,- '■>77.39 received last year. There has been a corresponding increase in num- ber of donors — from 6<S3 in 1960-61 to 763 already this year. The Forward Oglethorpe Fund drive will continue through June 30th in order to reach the goal of S38, 500.00.

The progress of the Fund has been remarkable. In 1955-56, alumni gifts amounted to S433. The next vear'this increased to S 1.576. In 1957-58, alumni support began to pick up and a total of $3,015" was received. .As more and more alumni proved the\ wanted to build a greater Oglethorpe, the totals moved upto S5.298 in 1958- 59 and S7,420 in 1959-60.

In 1960-61 came the biu jump. More than 22 <> of the alumni made contributions totalling 524,977. This placed Oglethorpe "in 55th place among 117 small, coeducational col- leges. Now, in 1961-62, we bid fair to rank among the top 25 small colleizes who report alumni gifts. Truly, Ogle- thorpe alumni are showing their desire to play a part m the tremendous pro- gress taking place today.

i<M)A^.«^ t (H.i.i:(;i; vu vi hi,

(idling into college, and staying there, can he a rough proposition for today's young people. The competition is frantic and colleges are raising their standards. They can afford to "be se- lective because of the unprecendented number of would-be college men and women. Many aspirants are left out- side the college gates, or fail to keep up if they do gain admission.

What are some of the major stumb- ling blocks to successful college ca- reers?— English, spelling, grammar, composition, and foreign languages. In short, reading and writing are fore- most, according to a group of Ogle- thorpe University students and faculty. Science and math have been getting a lot of emphasis since Sputnik, and they can certainly be troublesome; far more woe comes to the college popula- tion because of an insufficient grasp of the Mother-tongue. "It is possible to plan a course of college study with a minumum of math, but it's impos- sible to dodge English." said Dr. George C. Seward. Oglethorpe Vice- president and Dean." "Good stud\ habits and strong motivation — an earn- est desire to obtain a college degree — are necessarv for success, too." he added.

Akmmi with young sons or dauijh- ters still in grammar or high school might find the experiences of current Oglethorpe students useful. Lanier Bagwell, freshman, said he would ad- vise young people contemplating col- lege to be sure they "learn how to" write a theme before enrolling. English com- position has got me down right now. Learn how to read, and formufate good study habits, too," he said. Another freshman. Chip Cowan said, "You must learn to complete assignments on time." He added, "And," assign specific times for study." Latin can be a college girl's best friend, especially if she has studied it in high school, ac- cording to a pair of attractive Ogle- thorpe freshman girls. Bonnie Beck and Mary Louise Browne put Latin at the top of the li.st of helpful high school subects. "Take it." they urged. "It helps so much with your English vocabulary. I regret not having studied it." said Miss Beck. "The students who had Latin seem to do so much better than I." Miss Browne is very glad she studied the not-so-dead langauge. "I'm glad I took both Latin and "Spanish as part of my high school work. They have been wonderful aids to me since I came to Oglethorpe." They agreed that the study of a foreign language "strengthens vour English."

CHARLES WELTNER '48 SEEKS CONGRESSIONAL POST

Charles Longstreet Weltner. (AB "4,S) has announced his candidacy for Congress. He will oppose incimibent James C. Davis in the September Democratic Primar\.

Weltner entered Oglethorpe as a freshman in 1944. He" was elected to Blue Key, Boar's Head. Who's Who and Student Body President during his stay on campus, and won a letter in tennis.

In 1947. he was admitted to Colum- bia University Law School under the professional option, and received his degree at Oglethorpe in 1948. An LLB from Columbia followed in 1450.

A practicing lawyer in the area. Weltner, 34, has been active in many fields. He was president of the Nation- al Oglethorpe Alumni Association in 1954, and taught Business Law at Oglethorpe from 1950 through 1955. He is presentK legal ccnmsel for the University.

Weltner is persenting a platform that calls attention to the needs of grow- ing urban areas. He points out that the Fifth District is the second largest in population in the nation. The" Fifth Congressional District includes De- Kalb. Fulton and Rockdale Counties. He vigorously opposes the County Unit System; and promises to abolish it in the Fifth Congressional District De- mocratic Primary.

Weltner is the son of Dr. Philip Weltner. former Chancellor of the University System of Georgia and President of Oglethorpe University.

REMINISCING WITH THE WENDELL BROWNS

We renienihcr with pleasure the years (1949-1957) at Oglethorpe of George Marion O'Donnell. a man of deep sympathies and wisdom, warm- ing and enlightening all the souls for- tunate enough to serve with him or sit in his classes. Now with grief we must end our association, for he died in January in New Haven, Connecticut, where he had been living since leaving us.

It is fitting at this time that one of his students should voice the senti- ments of all of us who knew him and we are reprinting the tribute of Mari- anne Epstein Baranan. 1957, found in the Stormy Petrel of February 5, 1962.

George Marion O'Donnell is dead. I have a wreath of flowers for him in my heart.

The first flower is for George Mar- ion the teacher. I went to many schools and colleges, in many countries, knew many countries, knew many people who taught me. But only two teachers did I meet who were teachers like those rulers of old: By the Grace of God. One was Professor Falck. The other was Professor O'Donnell.

His students at college called him "M.O.D."", affectionately. I took sever- al courses from M.O.D., but he began my education at the dinner table in the school cafeteria. With short stories taken from his life, in the mood of Marcel Proust, and with dialogues in the manner of Plato, he revealed the South to me: a newcomer and a for- eigner. And the South, baffling not only to outsiders, became a scene of compassionate beauty, like a great love affair never fulfilled.

This was his greatness as a teacher: he could draw open the curtain and the subject of his discourse would appear in a great flash of clarity. To stay en- graved in the mind. That is why one hour with M.O.D. made up for many hours from other lecturers, those patient repeaters of facts, facts to be memorized for the next exam — and all contained in the textbook.

The second flower is for George Marion O'Donnell the poet. His writ- ing was concerned with the image and the soul of Man. Yet his mood and his symbols were enwrapped deeply in the history of the South. This heritage of thought concerned with the South was faint like a cobweb, yet strong like thunder, pervading all his work. And

Page 4

the Man, and the South, of whom O'Donnell wrote, were things of great beauty and faint sadness.

A special flower I put down now, a flower to O'Donnell the poet of poets. For the creator of poetry also posses- sed the finest harp strings of sensitivity for all poetry. He was a superb inter- preter and unsurpassed for his reading. His students said of him: "M.O.D, can read the telephone directory to us — and keep us entranced." How he made my heart bounce with his reading of Carl Sandburg's "Chicago," and my skin tremble with the "Voodoo."

My last flower goes to George Mar- ion O'Donnell the man. He was of frail physique and slight build, subject to the many ailments of highly sensi- tive system. The fast speed of a car, or a haircut on a cold, windy day, would upset him. But his moral strength and courage were towering. He would stand up and fight against dishonesty, intrigue, and injustice like a giant where the robust campus men in tweeds took refuge in safe ambiguity. His emblem carried not only flue and quill: it included the sword.

George Marion the friend would touch your shoulder kindly when you had grief, unerringly hold you to your best qualities, patiently and wisely stand by you. Every meeting with him left your mind enriched with a gracious miniature of sensitive thoughts and graceful manners. They are gifts 1 cherish.

How can it be that he is gone? Only yesterday, it seems, he sent a let- ter and an invitation with an outline of the street plan, so I would not fail to find his house, sent two pictures of the beautiful, great tree which lived in his backyard. One taken in summer, and one in winter, so that I could envisage his view. George Marion O'Donnell has gone, but he left me many images as gifts. The greatest of them is his image of Man, struggling through history, striving to fulfill his highest visions.

The Flying Petrel

REPORT ON THE BASKETBALL SEASON

"We have learned to wade in deep- er waters," Coacli Garland Pinholster said as he glanced over the 1 96 1 -62 record book. "Now we hope to ven- ture in water just a little deeper. We are searching for and feel we are ready for a slightly tougher schedule."

The schedule Oglethorpe played last season was the toughest in the school's history, no doubt of that. Teams such as Rhode Island, Mississippi South- ern, Belmont Abbey, Carson-Newman, Georgia Southern. Chattanooga, Jack- sonville, and Stetson presented a 24- game challenge that was met with much success.

Some probably feel that failure would be a better word — failure simply because the last game, that against Jacksonville in the District 2.'^ play-off, ended in defeat.

The Petrels didn't go to the nation- als this year. But make no mistake about it, the Petrels have their finest season ever. They have won more and they have lost fewer. They had a better defensive average and they have gone higher. But this was the best season.

They played the best they have ever played and they won 20 games and lost foui .

"Those victories were sweet," Coach Pinholster said. "They were most satisfying to us primarily because our seniors were the hardest working mem- bers on the squad. Boys like Tommy Norwood and Jay Rowland and John- ny Guthrie showed tiie younger boys how to go 100 per cent.

"It will be almost impossible to re- build at some positions this next sea- son. Norwood was elected captain of the Atlanta Journal's All-State team and many coaches in the NAIA told me personally the only thing that cost him Ail-American honors was the fact we didn't make it to the nationals. Glenn Wilkes, the fine coach at Stet- son, told me there was no finer guard at Kansas City and the nationals than Norwood."

All you had to do was see Norwood in the last game. Then you would wonder how he can be replaced.

"We are moving real slow with our recruiting," Coach Pinholster explain- ed, "for a reason. We have a small number of grants and we do not want to waste any. If we make a mistake that means our squad is simply cut bv one. We have sinned Walker Heard,

Oglethorpe Universi ty's three basketball seniors pose with theii coaches. The four iin- gers symbolize t h e players' rank as fourth- year men. Left to right are Jay Rowland. Gainesville, Fla.: as sistant basketball coach Billy Carter; Tommy Norwood, Decatur, Ga.; Coach Garland Pinhol ster, and Johnny Guth rie, a Murphy High graduate.

of Druid Hills, a fine boy and a fine student. We just hope we can fill all our vacancies with boys who have as much piitential as Walker."

One encouraging aspect of the Pe- trels for next season is the return of the front line — Morris Mitchell, Bobby Nance, and Bobby Sexton, with back- up duty being filled by Billy Parker.

Darrell Whitford also returns as do Ray Thomas. Jimbo Hartlagc. Joe Carter, and Bill Stewart.

The Petrels' four losses came at the hands of Georgia Southern, Chattano- oga, Mississippi Southern, and Jack- sonville. They beat Chattanooga, Southern, and Jacksonville in the oth- er games played with those teams.

They also whipped Rhode Island. Pikeville, Cumberland, Peru Olym- pians, Stetson, Carson-Newman and other excellent representatives of the small college field.

They rose as high as eighth in the nation in the Dunkle Ratings and fin- ished 16th in the final United Press International poll and 18th in the final Associated Press poll. These were firsts for Oglethorpe. This was a suc- cessful season — the best ever for the Petrels.

"It was certainly my most pleasant season," Coach Pinholster said, "ex- cept for the Jacksonville game."

He doesn't mention that most ex- perts would have taken even money the Petrels wouldn't bat .500 before the season started.

They hit 20 times in 24 appear- ances.

And that's iiood.

As early as last Christmas, res- idence hail space for women had been filled. This situation resulted in many qualified coeds being refused admission.

RIFLE CLUB DEFEATS COLORADO, WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP TO BE HELD ON MAY 12th

One of the more unusual features of Alumni Day will be a Mateh for the WtMncn"s Championship of Ogle- thorpe's ""Riflettes" to be held at the rifle range behind Lowry Hall. The Riflettes, led by Joyce Gravel of Lake Wales, Florida, is one of the few small college rifle teams in existance. They recently defeated a team from the Uni- versity of Colorado to continue their two-year unbroken record of victories.

In the postal match with Colorado, both Miss Gravel and Katie Patton of Atlanta scored 100. Miss Gravel's sea- son average is 99.8 out of 100 and the lowest average on the team is 97.

Besides the Alumni Da\ Champion- ship match, the team from Oglethorpe will compete twice more with North Georgia, and once with Texas Wo- men's University and Middle Tennes- see State College. An Interclub Championship Match will end the season.

The Riflettes are only one branch of Oglethorpe's Yamacraw Gun Club which was first organized on the camp- us in 1958. SeweH ("Chief") Edwards, security officer for the University, is the founder and coach of the team.

Most of the guns used by the club were loaned to them by the department of Civil Defense, but recently, equip- ment including two 22 automatic target pistols, was given to the group by the Student Council.

GEORGE KOLOWICH '43 FEATURED ON COVER OF BUSINESS WEEK MAGAZINE

A face familiar [o all Oglethorpians of the 1939-43 era greeted the readers of Business Week Magazine, March 17, 1962. George Kolowich, Jr., hefty e.\-tackle of the Petrels and now Presi- dent of Denver Chicago Trucking Company, warranted the cover feature because of his unique and successful operation of that company.

1 he article pointed out that "Den- ver Chicago Trucking Company is hitting the jackpot by minimizing its short haul business in favor of long- distance toting of high-value car- goes. . . these policies have given eighth-ranking Denver Chicago one of the highest — if not the highest — profit margins in the industry."

In IM61 Denver Chicago grossed S42.3 million dollars, up from §40. 6 million in ]'-)60. For the latest year, its net operating income before fed- eral taxes amounted to practically S4.2 million.

Kolowich has continued his interest in sports. The company has hired golf

pros as salesmen, and supports a host of employee teams including bowling, basketball and skeet shooting. George is an active member of the Oglethorpe Booster Club.

He and his wife, the former Claudia Johnson '43, will attend Alumni Day, May 12th.
