PRESIDENT'S CORNER

FACULTY PROMOTIONS Midyear Graduates

Is there a difference when a college calls itself "church-related?"

In Lycoming's case, for instance, there is a long historical relationship with The United Methodist Church. The ethical and religious concerns of the church have been shared by the college. There has been an honest at- tempt to show unusual concern for persons. The church has assisted the college to offer religious services to students from a wide variety of faith and practice.

Our tradition has never led us toward prose- lytism. The college has encouraged students to explore the possibilities of their own faith and has urged commitment to the highest re- ligious and moral values. We have not en- deavored to make United Methodists of per- sons who found deep meaning in another church or faith. We have tried to encourage each student to develop his/her highest po- tentiality, hoping that this would bring about many important results for our society and our world.

The pattern of "religious activity" has changed notably for most United Methodist-related col- leges during the past thirty years. We no longer have required chapel and church atten- dance, mainly because this will be a matter of choice for the student when he leaves the campus — he/she may as well learn to make good choices while in college. Lycoming does require a sequence of two courses in either religion or philosophy. These should help each student to formulate a sense of direction in a world of confusing value claims.

The United Methodist Church also gives strong annual dollar support to Lycoming College. Certainly this is not given with a thought toward "control" of the institution. The Uni- ted Methodist tradition in higher education has seen support without control and assist- ance without dictation. The leadership of the church has agreed that a church-related col- lege must be first and foremost an educational institution. Beyond that, we hope that the en- tire institution will make its decisions in the light of the most important religious and moral values that we can bring to bear upon each specific situation. If there's a "plus," that's it.

Hahold I!. Hutson President of the College

Hutson Elected President

of United Methodist Association

DR. HAROLD H. HUTSON, president of Ly- coming College, was elected president of the National Association of Schools and Colleges of the United Methodist Church for a one- year term at the annual association confer- ence on January 12.

Dr. D. Frederick Wertz, former president of Lycoming, also served as head of the association during 1966. The group is com- prised of 7 universities, 81 senior colleges, 20 two-year colleges, and 14 secondary schools.

Dr. Hutson was elected president of Lycoming College in 1969, He held various administra- tive and teaching posts at Methodist-related institutions prior to accepting the position at Lycoming. They include provost of Ameri- can University; president, Greensboro Col- lege; and teaching positions at Ohio Wesleyan, Birmingham-Southern College, and Wofford College.

Forty-five seniors completed work for their degrees at the close of the fall semester. All are invited to participate in the spring commencement to be held on Sunday, May 4, 1975. Diplomas will be mailed to all gradu- ates as soon as they are received from the printer. Robert J. Glunk, registrar, asks patience since this takes four to six weeks from the date he certifies their graduation.

PHYSICS DEPARTMENT ADDS ASTRONOMY MAJOR

Effective September 1975, the Department of Physics at Lycoming College will become the Department of Astronomy and Physics. This change not only adds a new major in ASTRO- NOMY to the Lycoming College curriculum, but also involves a revision of the PHYSICS major as well. The program has been de- signed to accommodate individuals who re- quire additional mathematical preparation while providing opportunities for students with strong mathematical backgrounds to ad- vance more rapidly.

The new major in astronomy, centered around the college's Detwiler Planetarium, is es- pecially designed to provide training in plane- tarium education. Our graduates will be well qualified to operate planetariums. This em- phasis on planetarium education is a unique feature of our new program. Entering the field of planetarium education is a way for students who are interested in astronomy but who do not plan to go on to graduate school to establish professional contacts with the com- munity of research astronomers.

The revised physics major will continue our tradition of providing excellent preparation for graduate school, for industrial research, for high school physics teaching, and for our "3-2" cooperative engineering program (of- fered in conjunction with the engineering de- partments at Bucknell University and Penn- sylvania State University). From now on, students who wish may also take several ad- vanced undergraduate astro-physics courses as part of their physics major.

The Alumni Office Lycoming College Williamsport, Pa. 17701

ROBERT J. GLUNK, college registrar, compiled the following official report of enrollment:

Vanaskie Named to Academic All-American Football Team

TOM VANASKIE, the Warriors' outstanding senior defensive back and co-captain of the 1974 football team, received one of the most distinctive post season honors awarded to college athletes when he was chosen to the 1974 College Division Academic All-America football team.

Selection to the team is based on combined performance in the classroom and on the football field. And on both criteria, Vanas- kie's achievements are outstanding. He has compiled an almost perfect 3.87 grade point average during his nearly four years as a political science major at Lycoming.

The senior defensive back climaxed a fine four-year career on the gridiron during the past season when he made 45 solo tackles, assisted with 25 others, recovered 2 fumbles, intercepted 3 passes, and blocked a kick. The 3 interceptions increased his career to- tal to 11 to equal a school record established in 1964-66 by David O'Connor. He was also among the national leaders last season in re- turning punts with an 11.5 average and 2 touchdowns on returns of 64 and 81 yards.

To be nominated for Academic All-America consideration, the athletes had to achieve at least a 3.0 average and be starters on their respective teams. The composite grade- point average of the 23-man first team was a sparkling 3.67. Offensive Tackle Mark Dien- hart, of St. Thomas College, had the highest grade point average of 3. 96.

Selection of the team is co-sponsored by the American Heritage Life Insurance Company ' and the College Sports Information Directors of America.

lycoming's MAY TERM

is Something Else!

HOW IT CAME ABOUT

When many institutions were experimenting with "innovative and relevant programs" in the late sixties, Lycoming was developing its own version: the 4-4-1 calendar with the optional May Term. The two 4's represent the fall and spring semesters which run for four months each. The 1 represents the May Term; it runs four weeks and offers one unit of credit to those who elect to participate.

After examining other calendars tike the 4-1-4, most of which have the Jan (January) Plan, we decided that in our climate January was not the best of months for off -campus courses. Neither was it the best time for students to find employment if they opted not to attend the one-month session. May, it appeared to us, had both advantages. By then, the weather is better for foreign travel in the northern hemisphere or for off-cam- pus courses in other parts of our country. And it gave the students who didn't want to attend an extra month—May, June, July and August—to work, plus an early shot at available jobs.

ITS SUCCESS

So the 4-4-1 calendar was adopted in 1971-72 and is now in its fourth year. Nei grams are usually adopted with certain apprehensions and doubts. Ours was i tion. Many colleges reported that only 10 to 20 per cent of their students w paling in optional terms. We were, therefore, pleased when 297 students (a enrolled for the first May Term in 1972. In 1973, registrations increased to dropped slightly in 1974 to 435. Percentagewise, however, more Lycoming participated in our optional term than we anticipated. Surveys of student re their May Term experiences were almost unanimously positive; they have given the program very high marks over the three years it has been in operation.

WHAT IS THE MAY TERM?

Compared with traditional college courses, the May Term is something else! First, students concentrate on one area of interest, focus their undivided attention on it, and earn one unit of credit. Second, it lasts only four weeks— long enough to learn some- thing but short enough not to drag. Third, many of the courses are non-traditional and not offered during regular semesters. The faculty have designed a variety of offerings that are different and fascinating but unsuited for four-month terms. Some have the

lmost 25%) 442 and

students

added attraction of being offered "where the action is" rather than in a classroom. Sev- eral take students abroad to visit, to study, to experience other environments and ob- serve other cultures. Some May Term courses are held at other educational centers such as the Bermuda Biological Station for Research. In general, the courses are less structured and the atmosphere less formal.

IT'S A BARGAIN

Finally, the May Term offers an educational bargain to all who participate. Tuition, room and board are at reduced rates; the College overhead for May Term (and Sum- mer Sessions) is lower and much of this is passed on to the students. There are, of course, no room and board fees forstudents living off campus or for those enrolled in off-campus courses. However, off-campus courses carry charges for travel, meals and lodging— in addition to tuition. These vary according to the distances and locations involved. We are confident that the special group rates are substantially below what one would normally pay.

ENGLISH 61 - Early Shakespeare

Shakespeare's "early period" is usually considered to span the years from 1564 to 1594. During this period he wrote five comedies, five history plays, two long poems, three shorter poemsfwhich we would call long), and the sonnets. Even though we might say it was a period when Shakes- peare was learning his craft, that is not to say the work of this period deserves neglect, something it does receive in English 36. By 1594 Shakespeare bad written such com- edies as The Comedy of Errors, Love's Labour's Lost, and The Taming of the Shrew.

I therefore propose a May Term Seminar on this early period. I envision reading and discussing six playsfthree or four comedies, one or two history plays, and one traeedvl and the sonnets. The seminar will consider no more than -»ne play tued in English 36, and w students who have uVea the Shakespeare course ueed not fear du- plication. Students who are new to Shakespeare will re- ceive a substantial introduction to his work, and will be- come well prepared foT further study, be it on their own, in English 36, or in other future courses. Sawyer. 9 a.m.

HISTORY 65 - The War for American Independence

Arranged. Cost: Approx. $50-$100.

HISTORY 66 - Rebellion in the Colonies

This course will seek to define Tory social life and British military strategy. To the British and their Tory sympa- thizers in America, the war from 1775 to 1781 was a sim- ple question of law and order. The course as now planned will include some on-campus work and two trips of about ten days each. One trip will include the areas of Boston, Saratoga, New York City, Trenton, and Philadelphia. The other trip will visit Guilford Court House, Cowpens, Charleston, and Yorktown. Students are encouraged to use room and board fees for the trips. Additional trip costs may reach $S0-$100. Larson. Arranged. Cost: approx. S50-S100.

Discussion centers on some of the suggestions philosophers have made about how to answer these questions. Herring. 9 a.m.

PHILOSOPHY 61 - Philosophical Issues in Literature

An examination of some of the philosophical issues which occur in literature. The specific issues to be discussed will depend partly on student interest and response, but several possibilities are these: the issue of human free- dom and/or responsibility as manifested in Sophocles' Oedipus Rex; the problem of personal identity as it occurs in KifU'i Met-imiTphosis; the conflict between humanis- tic and utilitarian ethics as it occurs in Dostoyevski's Crime and Punishment; the problem of evil as it occurs in Dostoyevski's BrotKers Karamazov; the nature of man as it is described in Coldiug'i Lord of the Flies. No pre- requisites. Griffith. 9 a.m.

PHYSICS 61 - Men of Physics

The aim of this course is to emphasize that the great men of science— and among them physicists — have been human beings driven by a desire to understand nature and the world about us. The course will consist of reading biographies of outstanding scientists (not necessarily physicists) from Galileo to the present. The students will be expected to write a review of each biography after consulting with the instructor. This is essentially a home self-«tudy course. The instructor will be available particularly for clarifica- tion of those parts of the biographies related to physics. Smith. 9 a.m. Cost: About S20 if biographies not available in library.
