PRESIDENT'S CORNER

Each summer we conduct a series of orientation sessions for entering freshmen to prepare them for college. Each student is accompanied by at least one parent be- cause we recognize that college is a family affair. These sessions clearly illustrate how and why academic preventive medicine helps avoid surgery later on.

These sessions are fun. It is always exciting to meet the students who will form a new entering class. It also gives me great pleasure to talk to parents about the dreams they have for their sons and daughters. I admit we seldom discuss this subject explicitly, it is a topic better dealt with indirectly, even silently. Yet, con-

color bricks. It is still expected that the recreation center will be completed and ready for occupancy by Sept. , 1980. Work could be completed sooner if crews can complete exterior work before the cold Williamsport winter arrives and they can move indoors to begin work there.

A more accurate timetable of when work will be completed won't be known until around Thanksgiving, according to Lou Heath, the college's construction chief.

As of Sept. 4, the Partners in Progress Fund Drive had raised $2,045,236 toward the projected $3,200,000 cost of the center. That figure included $825, 609 in cash and the bal- ance in pledges.

Dr. Frederick E. Blumer, president, said that while the college has exceeded its minimum goal of $1, 700, 000, it will continue its efforts to raise additional funds so as to eliminate the need to borrow money at high interest rates.

To dale, the college has not had to borrow

any funds because of the amount of money raised in cash. It hopes it can continue to pay for work in that manner until construction is completed.

George P. Flint, director of institu- tional relations for Lycoming, said that if anyone has not received a Partners in Pro- gress brochure and pledge card yet, it is probably because the college is considering the possiblility of regional area campaigns. Places mentioned as possible sites of the campaigns include Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Rochester, and New Jersey.

If anyone wishes to make a pledge now or volunteer to serve on a regional cam- paign committee, contact Flint at the college. It will be appreciated.

Flint also has released an analysis of the scale of gifts received through July 15. As of that date, there was one gift each of $500,000 and $250,000. There were five gifts of $50,000 or more; 11 of $25,000; 16 of $10, 000; 13 of $5, 000; 12 of $3, 000; 66 of $1,000, and 316 gifts of less than $1,000.

Campus ministry moves into new home

The United Campus Ministry has a new headquarters on campus. It's in the base- ment of Clarke Chapel in the former theatre arts workshop.

The workshop has been completely renovated to serve as a chapel, lounge and meuting area. It will be used for worship, study, pastoral counseling, and as a quiet place for meditation and individual worship according to Jack C. Buckle, dean of student services.

The chapel area has been named for St. John Neumann. Dedication for it and the entire ministry center will be held Oct. 9.

Final cost of the renovation has not yet been tallied. But at least $19,927.20 in designated gifts will be spent, Dean Buckle said. Those gifts include $15,000 from the Scranton Diocese of the Roman Catholic Church; $4,500 from the Pitcairn-Crabbe Foundation, and $427.20 in additional donations.

A new ceiling has been installed throughout the center, as well as a new ventilation system, lighting and carpeting. A room also has been built to serve as a sacristry-storage area.

The chapel-meeting room seats about 100 persons. The lounge includes a kitchenette. Two other small rooms in the basement have been converted into an office for Father John J. Tama I is, chaplain to Roman Catholic students on campus, and into a secretary- committee office.

The doors to be installed between the lounge and chapel will be built with leaded glass panes salvaged from the St. Boniface Roman Catholic Church, which was de- stroyed by fire several years ago.

All the work on the chapel, except for the installation of the ventilation system and the lighting, was done by the college's buildings and grounds personnel under the direction of Robert L. Eddinger, director.

versations about inflation or even the weather often include oblique allusions to the almost secret dreams Lycoming parents have for these future alumni. I know their feelings well. I, too, have felt the faint shudder, a tear welling behind the eyelid, when suddenly some uninvited fear or vague apprehension intrudes to interrupt a casual conversation about the energy crisis or how pleasant the drive to Williamsport had beea Yes, parents are in their prime when bring- ing their "children" to college.

There are many things which contrib- ute to success in college. Each student draws on slightly different resources. We can be thankful that one commonplace element is this quiet, yet utterly depend- able, parental concern. It is too beautiful to describe, too private to violate, but a wonder to behold.

Recently, as I was reflecting on the power such devotion brings into our lives and contemplating how much it contributes to the success of our students, a quotation from Goethe flashed to mind which explains the mystery. Goethe wasn't thinking about parents or entering freshmen, of course, but he describes their chemistry just the same.

"To know someone here or there with whom you can feel there is understanding, in spite of distance or thoughts unexpressed. . . that can make of this earth a garden. "

The campus was beautiful before they came. Now we know why it is an autumn garden.

Cadet wins ROTC award

William G. Lauber, a senior from Morristown, N. J., has earned a Reserve Officers' Association Silver Award, accord- ing to Lt. Col. John H. Wilson, professor of military science at Bucknell University.

The award recognizes a cadet who has ^, completed his junior year of Army ROTC and who has demonstrated qualities of leader- ship, moral character, and a high aptitude for military service.

Lauber, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Lauber, of 1004 Sussex Turnpike, is a political science major. He is an active member of the International Relations Club, the concert band, and has performed in the Arena Theatre at Lycoming.

Honorary degree conferred at freshman convocation

"Begin now to become concerned with what's around you," said the Rev. John E. Jameson, of Altoona, at the annual Freshman Convocation.

The Rev. Jameson was the main speaker for the event at which he received an honor- ary doctor of divinity degree for his work in improving housing conditions for low-income families in several Central Pennsylvania com- munities, most notably Altoona.

It's time to think seriously about what's ahead," the Rev. Jameson told the 365 fresh- men attending the 8 p.m. service in Clarke Chapel.

He challenged the Trosh to face up to America's economic and social problems by developing 9 kill 8 to use the knowledge they will learn at Lycoming.

"You are dealing with economic problems that are not someone else's responsibility, " he said, "I plead for your participation. Take seriously this commitment."

The Rev. Jameson, who is the supply pastor of the Shade Valley Parish of the United Methodist Church in the Chambers- burg District, referred to his work with "Improved Dwellings of Altoona, Inc.," as an example of the type of commitment lluil must be made. IDA, a non-profit organization founded by eight religious groups and the black community' in 1970, is recog- nized as the best non-profit housing corpor- ation in Pennsylvania and as one of the best in the country. He directed it from 1970-78.

■ i rumpet still Bounds, " the Rev. Jameson said. He pleaded with the 1'resh- mi'ii to answer its call.

Iii introducing the honoree to the fresh- men, faculty and staff, and guests in attendance, Dr. Blumer said: "Fame is often a fickle mistress to those who serve mankind sacrifieially and with honor... Fame is too often nourished by the passions ol influence rather than by gratitude owed to martyrs or public servants. I like to believe that a more rational response occurs among scholars. At ieast occasionally we move against the popular stream to focus attention upon someone whose claim to fame

from sacrificial service and from efforts to lift the human spirit orto kindle tin- lire of hope among the helpless. "

Before his appointment to IDA, th< Jameson served the Eighth Avenue United Methodist Church in Altoona from 1966-70, the Palton, Pa., parish from 1964-06, and

the Eastside Terraces United Methodist Church in Newark, N. J., from 1961-64.

Dr. Shirley Van Marter, new dean of the college, and Nathan W. Stuart, t\\ <. chairman of the board of trustees and chairman of the executive committee, placed the hood emblematic of the honorary degree on the Rev. Jameson.

The Rev. Dr. Richard A. Hughes, chaplain of the college, offered the invo- cation. The Rev. John J. Tamalis, chaplain to Roman Catholic students on campus, offered the benediction. David Argall, president of the studenl association, greeted the freshmen. The college concerl choir and John Shannon, chapel organist, provided music.

College names new treasurer

William I.. ;»aker, formerly din of financial aid and business managt i , is the ik'v. treasurer of Lycoming Col ■

Shore, Pa., resident and b council member. He has been serving on ttive >t.itt since 1965, when d the college as assistant business ' director of buildings and grounds.

Ilaker also coordinates the use of school facilities during the summer for such functions as beauty pageants, cheer- leading schools, religious conferences and drill teams.

Gridders win opener as fall sports get under way

Is it possible for Lycoming College to repeat as Middle Atlantic Conference Northern Division champion after losing some of the finest players the school has ever had?

That's the question Coach Frank Girardi answers with a "yes, if..."

Yes, the Warriors can win another MAC crown if they can find suitable re- placements among the more than 100 players who reported this year for such MAC stars as Kevin McVey, Gene Daly, John Jordan, Jerry Butler, and Tim VanSyckle. These players were the keys to last year's successful 7-2 campaign.

Yes, the Warriors can reign again over the MAC if their tough 1978 defense doesn't go soft this year. That defense, which re- turns tune of 11 starters, ranked fourth in Division III in passing defense nationally last year while giving up yardage grudgingly on the ground.

Although one game doesn't say much about this year's football edition, Lycoming's season-opening win over a strong Lock Haven State College team indicates that Girardi has a team with a lot of talent and MAC- champion potential.

The 15-12 win featured some outstanding plays by some old and new Warriors. Some of the old faces include veterans Rick Burd, Bill Kilpatrick, Tony DiSandro, John Donahue, and Bob Sinnott. Some of the new faces included Dave Nolan, Steve Connaghan, Thatcher Bornman, and Mike Burd, Rick's brother.

Quarterback Rick Burd, a junior all- MAC first-team selection last year as a sophomore, paced the Warriors with 156 yards passing and one touchdown. He completed eight ol 17, Five of those catches were made bj Bill Kilpatrick, a senior flanker who earned MAC honorable mention recognition last year. For the day, he rai i. til up 118 } ards and also caught the winning TD, ;i 11-yard toss. For his effort, he was named offensive player ol the week.

Senior nose guard Donahue earned the outstanding defensive player award of the opening game. He made numerous tackles and was the k« ■■ In holding Lock Ha vaunted running game to 65 yards. But he

■ lot of help from senioi defi nsi' e tackle DiSandro and junior linebacker Sinnott, who made the defensive plaj ol the game in the third quarter. Thej teamed up i<> halt a

. at the Wai rlo rs1 19 yard line with a fourth-and-one stop.

ilan returned six punt:- ff for 15

more to earn special team hi first game,

Bornman, the rreshman brother oi graduated rullback Ty Bornman, made his debut with "> ! yards rushing oul ol the tail- ipot, He also caught a pass. Soph- omore tight end Mike Burd caught two of foi 27 yards.

Lycoming's offense piled up 316 yards in total .'[tense against the Bald Eagles, althou I down close to the goal line

and eventually missed three scoring chances when field goal attempts by usually reliable Robbi Bleistein faded.

SENIOR SQUAD Coach Girardi poses with the seniors on right are Paul Scon, Bill Kilpatrick, Kirby Fenton, Robb: In the front row from left to tight are Ernie Isgro, Tony D: Isgro, Sim Chest, and Charles Hoyt.

The Warriors' first long drive of the day came after the opening kickoff, when they went 80 yards in 16 plays, mostly on the ground.

The Warriors' longest drive of the day, an 81-yarder, ended with Kilpatrick's over- the-shoulder TD catch of a perfect spiral from Burd.

The most unusual play of the game came after another botched center snap. Defensive back Fran Harvey, who does the holding, picked up the wobbly snap, ran to his right, and tossed a high, lazy pass to second-line tight end Charley Hoyt in the end zone for a two-point conversion. It upped the Warriors' lead to 15-12, the eventual final score.

Soccer

When the Warrior soccer team returned to campus in late August, they reported to a new coach — J. Scott McNeill, a 1974 Lycoming graduate and former Warriors' player.

McNeill replaced Nelson Phillips, who re- tired after 19 years as head soccer coach. The new coach inherits a team that hasn't won a game since the 1977 season. Last year the booters were 0-12-1.

Things should improve this year, how- ever. Thirteen lettermen from the 1978 squad return. They join a healthy contingent of fresh- men and upperclassmen who should provide some tough competition for the regulars.

Lycoming's women's tennis team faces an expanded eight-game and one tournament schedule this year under fourth- year coach Deborah J. Holmes. The team played five matches in 1978, winning two of them.

Even with the more grueling schedule, there is optimism on the team this year. Eight letterwinners return from a squad that / closed out its season last year with two con- secutive wins.

Among the letterwinners are Anne Pai l , a senior from New City, N. Y.; Sue Burch, a junior from Williamaport; Nancy Kachline, a junior from Summit. \. J.; Debbli Falk, l sophomore From Montoursville, and Rabold, a sophomore from Wllliamsport,

Out of the Past

The mace of Lycoming College is the symbol of the presidential authority and is carried at the head of the academic procession preceding the president. It is also placed on the plat- form of any official convocation of Lycoming College.

Lycoming's mace also carries the names of three earlier institutions from which it evolved: the William sport Academy, William- sport Dickinson Seminary, and Williamsport Dickinson Junior College.

The Williamsport Academy, sponsored by a small group of Scotch- Irish Presbyterians and the Presbyterian Church, was authorized by an act of the state legislature on April 2, 1811. It was known officially as the "Wil- liamsport Academy for the Education of Youth in the English and other Languages, in the Useful Arts, Sciences and Literature." It was housed in a four- room, two-story octag- onal brick structure located on the northwest corner of West Third and West Streets on four lots reserved by Michael Ross when he laid out the town in 1795.

The building was paid for, in part at least, by a grant of $2, 000 by the legislature, which stipulated that at least five poor children should be taught without charge. (It is in- teresting to point out that the state made no further direct grants to the institution until 1974, when Institutional Assistance Grants were made to independent colleges in Perm-

PLAYING LYCOPOLY- The campus quad took on the look of a giant Monopoly board Labor Day as freshmen played a game called "Lycopoly." Sidewalks were painted to represent various buildings on campus, students served as game pieces and played in three-member teams; giant paper money was handed out by a central banker (dean of students) in the middle of the quad. The first team to build a college was the winner. Prizes ..ere awarded by Department of Student Services staff.

sylvania. During the intervening 163 years, however, the institution assisted hundreds — possibly thousands — of needy students in completing their education.

Relatively little is recorded about the old academy. There is some question as to the precise date of its opening; Edward J. Gray says it opened "about 1812," but Meginness uses 1814 as the opening date. The Rev. Samuel Henderson, pastor of the Lycoming Presbyterian Church (New berry) was its first principal, and he was assisted by a Thomas Grier.

The Williamsport Academy apparently "held school" until about 1834, when the Pennsylva- nia common school law was passed. The building was rented for school purposes for several years but was finally sold in 1S39 for $2,392. One reason the trustees sold the building was "whereas the said situation is no longer deemed a proper situation for an academy by reason of the termination of the Williamsport and Elmira Railroad at or near the house attracting the attention of the scholars and endangering their personal safety."
