Trustees vote

Oglethorpe College Now Official

Lupton Hall, Oglethorpe College

Trustees of Atlanta's Oglethorpe University Jan. 8th voted to change the name of that institution to Ogle- thorpe College.

The board's action was in response to a recommendation by the college's faculty, supported by Oglethorpe's new president, Dr. Paul R. Beall.

Dr. Beall recommended the name change as one of a series of forward steps he is proposing for Oglethorpe. He said the goal of his program is for Oglethorpe to be a superior, independ- ent, co-educational, liberal arts college with a student body of approximately 1,000.

He said there is a great need for a college of this description in Atlanta.

He added that, while he expects Oglethorpe always to serve a large number of Atlanta students, much of its expanded enrollment will come from outside Georgia.

Oglethorpe's present regular daytime session student body numbers slightly less than 500. It's evening session student body is about 200, and its sum- mer sessions usually number in the neighborhood of 300.

"The new name is more honestly descriptive of what we are and what we have been," Dr. Beall said. "Our main concern is not with satisfying the prerequisites of some professional school in a university, but it is a per- sonal, individualized concern with the total development of the student."

Virgil W. Milton, chairman of the board of trustees, said the name change will not affect the college curriculum.

"One of the unique advantages of Oglethorpe," Mr. Milton said, "is the manner in which the curriculum per- mits every student to make progress at his own pace, and to learn how to live at the same time he is learning how to make a living."

Oglethorpe was founded in Milledge- ville, Georgia in 1835 and closed dur- ing the Civil War. The college has been on its present campus on Peachtree Road north of the Atlanta city limits since 1915.

Woodrow Wilson Fellow to Coordinate Research

Tony Parades, '61, has been awarded a Woodrow Wilson Dissertation Fel- lowship upon completion of his course work for the Ph.D. degree.

He receive his M.A. degree in an- thropology from the University of New Mexico this past June and is presently the Coordinator of Research for the Upper Mississippi Research Project sponsored by the Neilsen Foundation of Minnesota. This is an interdisci- plinart project concerning anthropol- ogy, sociology, psychology and psy- chiatry.

Mr. Parades is married to the former Ann Hamilton, 59 and has two chil- dren, Anthony, aged 4 and Anna Te- resa, age 2. They are residing in Bem- idji, Minnesota.

Mr. J. Arch Avary, Jr., has been elected to the Board of Trustees at a recent meeting of that board.

Mr. Virgil Milton, chairman, states that "we are fortunate to have a man of Mr. Avary's stature on the Board. He is an outstanding citizen of Georgia as well as an outstanding banker."

Mr. Avary, Executive vice president and a Director of the Trust Company of Georgia Associates, said of his ap- pointment, "I feel highly honored to be elected to the Board of Oglethorpe University and to be intimately asso- ciated with the outstanding members of the Board of Trustees. Oglethorpe has a fine background of accomplish- ments in the field of education, and under the leadership of Dr. Beall it should be one of the dynamic forces in the field of education in this area."

In addition to Mr. Avary's executive position with the Trust Company of Georgia, he serves as a director of the Atlanta and West Point Railroad, Foun- dation Life Insurance Company and the Georgia Motor Club. He is also the president of the Georgia Division of the American Cancer Society.

On October 30, 1961, a letter titled, "This is the story of Bonnie," was sent to alumni as a part of the Forward Oglethorpe Fund Drive. Part of that letter was as follows:

"Bonnie is a student at Oglethorpe. She lives in a small town about thirty miles from school. Every day Bonnie spends more than 4 hours getting to and from school. Every week she has 20 hours of classes plus 5 lab periods — about 35 hours in all. With such a schedule Bonnie gets about 4 hours sleep each night, but Bonnie is on the Dean's List and will graduate from Oglethorpe next Spring. There are many Bennies in the world. They want a good education so badly they'll make any sacrifice to get it. * * *."

A letter from Bonnie on October 18, 1964 outhned her activity since leav- ing Oglethorpe as follows:

"In the summer of 1962 I taught biology at the Summer Science Institute of Choate Prep School in Connecticut. (Mr. Ed North, also an Oglethorpe alumnus, was di- rector of the program.) At the Univ. of Tennessee I was a dorm counselor for two years, holding a teaching assistantship ('62-'63) and a research assistantship ('63-'64) while completing requirements for the M.S. in Radiation Biology. (Thesis was a study of ageing and X-ray effects on fertilization and on mitosis in sea urchin eggs.) This past summer I was granted an NSF fellowship to study at the Duke Marine Biological Station but was unable to take it due to obligations at U.T. For the doctoral studies, I received an assistantship at the Univ. of Illinois and a fellowship at Western Reserve Univ., and I am now studying at the latter school in Cell Biology. * * *."

Bonnie is due sincere congratula- tions from all of us. Her personal sacri- fices paid dividends. Her accompUsh- ments are positive proof of what is and can be done. She is one of the many who have gone on to greater achieve- ments at Oglethorpe. To assure that such continues, we do not need to make a sacrifice, just a contribution to keep Oglethorpe moving forward.

Clean-up, Sprvice-up Campaign now in Progress

As outlined in his letter to the alumni last November, one of the first projects to be undertaken by our new president was to clean-up and spruce up the campus.

In addition to the grading, reseeding of the campus, and paving of the parking lots, the public offices — president's office, dean's office, faculty lounge, and faculty dining room are undergoing extensive remodeling. Carpeting has been laid in the president's office, business manager's office and the secretary to the president's office. Dark wainscoting has been installed and wallpaper applied to the president's office. The offices are to be completely refurnished.

The faculty lounge has been stripped of as many as eight coats of paint. The woodwork, which is quarter sawed oak, has been brought back to its original natural color and sheen. Plans are to have the room beautifully appointed with period furniture which will blend with the architectural design of the campus.

The dining room is to be an informal yet elegant room.

Both the men's and women's rest rooms have been completely refitted, painted and furnished.

Pictured here are some shots of the various projects that are undergoing change.

Oglethorpe Science Booster Club Formed

The Oglethorpe alumni and science faculty have created a new science organization. It is called Science Ogle- thorpe (2U) and has as its main pur- pose the improvement of science edu- cation at Oglethorpe.

The Organization was inhiated in 1964 after an address by professor George Wheeler to the Booster Club. Professor Wheeler pointed to the grand success of the Athletic Boosters and suggested that academic programs would benefit by similar support. A group of interested alumni and faculty began a series of regularly scheduled meetings, outlined a series of objectives, drafted a constitution and elected of- ficers. Chip M. Mobley (63) was elected president, George Wheeler Ex- ecutive Secretary, Ronald Green Vice- president, Charlotte Smith Winsness ('64) Secretary and Lewis DeRose ('57) treasurer.

According to President Mobley "modem trends in university science are toward more and more specialized equipment." The first project adopted by the group is to help provide funds (approx. $5,000) to. match a grant from the National Science foundation for the purchase of specialized equip- ment to upgrade the biology curricu- lum. Later projects are to include im- proving the science teaching facilities and providing scholarships for worthy science students. Ernie Stone ('58), financial chairman, says that funds are being made available through member- ship dues and contributions from local businessmen for publishing a pamphlet to announce the details of the Science Oglethorpe Organization.

Surgical Congress and has served the U. S. Public Health Service and the National Cancer Institute in consulting and advisory positions.

He has published more than 100 papers on his medical work.

Oglethorpe Sports

There is a new term in Oglethorpe College basketball. It is called "Gung Ho" and it means the freshmen are coming, or, to be more explicit, the freshmen have already arrived.

After 10 games in the 1964-65 sea- son the Stormy Petrels were holding a 6-4 record, made impressive mainly by five first-year men who have given sur- prising life to the Oglethorpe game.

"There's no doubt about it," said Garland Pinholster, O.U. Athletic Di- rector and head basketball coach, "the freshmen have certainly been a bright spot in our basketball this year. They're playing about one-third of the time now, more than any freshman team we've had here, and they're going to keep playing the rest of the season."

By identification the five are: Doug Alexander, 6-1 guard from Cross Keys High; Jimmy Fain, 6-0 guard from Decatur High; Bill Carson, 6-4 center from Albion (111.); Jerry Sams, 6-4 forward from Albion (111.); and Roger Littell, 6-1 forward from Osgood (Ind.).

"This has been a scramble year for us thus far," Pinholster explained, "and will be from now on out. Our varsity

works hard, but just don't have the complete talent they need and our freshmen, though they've done great work, are still too young. But it has been a real fun team to coach. The morale has been excellent. Actually we're shooting for a 500 season, but if we don't make it, I'll still say it has been a great team to coach."

Pinholster pointed out that the re- mainder of the schedule would be tough. "They're only two games that we should definitely win. The rest would have to rate as a tossup or us as the underdog.

"But getting back to the freshmen," Pinholster continued, "we've already started Alexander and there's very little difference between he and Fain. Alex- ander gets the ball in play a little better than Fain and does a little better job on the boards, but there are things that Fain can do better than Alexander, so you see the two are basically even. Then there's Littell and Sams, our for- wards. They're coming fast, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to find them ready to start any time now.

"That leaves Carson. Now a lot of people think Carson is the No. 5 boy on this team but that just isn't true. He

is having to play center, a position he's never played, and when we get him back to forward — which we plan to do soon — he's going to show a lot of peo- ple what he can do. All five of them are fine boys and will give Oglethorpe some great basketball before they grad- uate."

The Petrels began the season with enthusiasm tempered by reservations of their starting lineup potential. As ex- pected, Ray Thomas, a 6-3 senior, has been the heart of the club, averaging 17.1 points per game throughout the first 10 games.

But the loss of transfer Jimmy Tum- lin, a 6-6 center from College Park, has hurt. The talented big man was counted on heavily for rebound work and for his polished shooting touch.

"We hope to get Tumlin back before long," Pinholster said. "If we had had him in all our games to date, our record would be vastly improved. But that- is the way it was last year. We lost Thomas in January and were badly hurt."

Oglethorpe started the season with five returnees — Thomas, Billy Parker (6-5 forward from Newnan), Jimbo Hartlage (6-4 center from Elizabeth- town, Ky.), Bill Garrigan (5-11 guard from Danville, Pa.), and Walker Heard (6-7 center from Druid Hills); Two transfers, Tumlin and 5-9 guard Wayne Johnson of College Park, via Young Harris Jr. College, were counted on heavily for support.

"They're calling the freshmen the 'Gung Ho' group," said Pinholster, "and that pretty well describes them. They've won the respect of the varsity and the admiration of our fans. What we're going to do from here on out is to utilize our personnel to our best ad- vantage. And we'll press a lot. If we run up against a team better than we are, we'll press. If they beat us, they'll have to do it the hard way."
