THE FRONT COVER
This month's cover picture, a drama- tic and effective shot of old Cutler Tower, was contributed by Donald E. Price, a senior from Columbus.
From the Editor's Desk . . .
ON PAGES 10 AND 1 1 of this issue of the Alumnus is an article dealing with something which quite probably may be marked in the future as a milestone in the progress of education at Ohio University, indeed, in the history of higher education in Ohio. The reference is to the new two-year program recently formally an- nounced by the University.
The immediate and potential significance of this carefully- developed plan to provide two years of college experience and two years of vocational training and cultural studies for high school graduates who, because of financial or other reasons, would not attend college is attested to by the "play" its announcement received in The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Sunday, March 12. The story was "big" enough to rate the No. 2 position in the Cleveland paper, in this age of spy hunts, cold wars, and flying saucers.
Let us examine briefly the significance of this "new venture in public higher education in Ohio," as the Plain Dealer termed it. Immediately, what does it mean? It means that more quite capable young men and women are going to have an opportunity to attend college — specifically, Ohio University. It means broader horizons for these young people, a better comprehension of the wideness of the world and their relationship to it. It means more varied and more rewarding vocational opportunities for thousands of young men and women.
Potentially, this new educational opportunity foretells a better- equipped citizenry, men and women in community life who will be more competent, more thoughtful leaders and more analytical, more exacting followers.
To Ohio University the significance of this new educational de- velopment is broadly twofold. First, but not necessarily most import- ant, it means more students — and good students. Perhaps more de- sirable, this program is a manifestation of service by the University. It is a sincere and orderly attempt to spread wider the munificence of its cultural and educational opportunities. The dividends, tangible and intangible, which can accrue to the University from this new service are immeasurable.
A RECENT ANNOUNCEMENT from the Joint Committee of the National Education Association and the American Library Association was brought to our attention by University Librarian Frank N. Jones. Because we feel the message is almost universally pertinent to alumni — as teachers, school administrators, parents or as interested high school graduates — we bring you the gist of it.
The NEA and the ALA committee points up the fact that the scope and kinds of material, such as books, films, recordings, and maps, used in planning effective high school and elementary school curricula are constantly expanding, with school libraries having an increasingly vital function. Yet, the committee laments, school buildings are being built and old buildings are being remodeled without thought for the space and equipment which must be available for the essential opera- tions of a good library. The committee has launched a public appeal for the inclusion of adequate library quarters in all new school buildings.
We think the committee has a worthy argument. It seems reason- able to suppose that roomy, well-equipped libraries at the high school and elementary school levels would result in a better student or pupil at those levels. Too, they would instill in him a fuller apprecia- tion of the library as an essential part of the educational process, in the formal sense of that term, and as a life-long adjunct to a fuller life.

Toward a finished citizen
Dean E. J. Taylor . . . of Applied Science
Tin.- objective of the College of
Applied Science is to mold the stu dents who come to us into educated ladies and gentlemen, indoctrinated with uprightness and truth, with practical minds, with loyalty to country, able to think effectively, to communicate thoughts, to make rela- tive judgments, and to discriminate among values. The college attempts to lay a groundwork of educational fundamentals upon which profession- .il experience may build a finished citizen, and gives due consideration to the premise that healthy minds in healthy bodies are necessities for the fulfillment of the individual's mission.
The College of Applied Science has two major schools: Home Economics and Engineering. Grouping <>t the School of Home Economies with the School of Engineering in the College of Applied Science has proved to be a satisfactory organization. Each school attempts to give the student a professional outlook. The depart ment of Industrial Arts is also part of the College.
The School of Home Economics offers a broad and extensive program in Home Economics and related fields leading to the Bachelor's degree, the Master's degree, or the two-year As sociate in Arts diploma. During the first two years of college the emphasis is placed on general education and home and family living. A gri core courses in food- and Nutrition, Clothing and Textiles, Home and Family Living, and Home Planning and Decoration are offered These core courses may be elected by any

student in the University, and it is
noted that a growing portion ot young women enrolled in the University elect one or more of these courses.
During the last two years an out standing foods laboratory has ken installed in the Agriculture and Household Arts Building. An excel- lent textile laboratory has also been installed. The Home Management House, located next to the President's Residence, provides .in excellent lab- oratory in Home and Family Living. Each student spends at least eight weeks in residence at the Home Man- agement House.
Many of the young women marry shortly after graduation. For those who do not, there is a steady demand for their services in many fields, such as: opportunities in day nui children's homes, family welfare agencies, department stores, pattern companies, manufacturers ot textile-, demonstrators for public utilities, food and clothing manufacturers, etc. There is a steady demand tor young women trained in Foods and Nutri- tion. They find ready employment in restaurants, clubs, cafeteria-, in-
dustrial plants with food manu- facturers, and they may also quality tor an intcrncship in a hospii training as a dietitian. There has been a steady demand for our gradu- ate- tar m excess ot our ability to supply them.
Engineering was first offered at Ohio University in 1892, when the late Professor A. A. Atkinson joined the faculty. He introduced eli engineering, which has been offered in the University continuous!) that time. In 1904 the late Ptf Lewi- J. Addicott introduced civil engineering. It has been offered con- tinuously smce that date. Industrial engineering was introduced in 1935, and mechanical engineering in 1946. For man\' years the School of Engi- neering was hampered by lack of proper laboratory facilities. This year we completed the first wing of a new Engineering Building. Modern hy- draulics and heat power laboratories are located in the basement. The top floor has two excellent electrical engi- neering laboratories which are de- voted to electronics.

Established in 1935, the R.O.T.C. program was on an elective basis until the fall of 1943, when enroll- ment became compulsory for all physically-fit male students between 14 and 24, except honorably dis- charged veterans and those classified 4-F.
THE LOCAL branch of the South- eastern Ohio Regional Council is seeking a $70,000 federal appropria- tion for research at the forest service center at the University. The group made its request through Senator Taft, who has asked the Senate Ap- propriations Committee for the money. A grant of $30,000 was made by Congress two years ago when the project was started.
The Proctor & Gamble Co. has sent the Alumni Office some information which the Alumnus is pleased to pass on to its readers. The company's market research department has several permanent positions opening in April and May (or young women who are college graduates.
After a training period in Cincinnati, they would travel throughout the country conducting consumer research, with no saleswork or soliciting involved. The ap- plicants should be single, age 22-26, able to do simple arithmetic, and have a driver's license. If interested, write to Miss Virginia Weiss, Proctor & Gamble, Gwynne Building, Cincinnati, Ohio.
The Proctor and Gamble Distributing Co. is also trying to reach men alumni in the 28-32 age group who might be interested in employment opportunities in selling. For further information, write to Mr. C. G. Sch- wenkmeyer, of the above address.
THE DIRECTOR OF the Ohio State University School of Home Economics, Dr. Gladys Branegan, and 1 2 of her staff members were recent campus guests.
The visitors came especially to see the University's new Home Econom- ics facilities. Within the past year,, a new foods laboratory with a nine- unit kitchen, a foods and equipment demonstration laboratory, a new Home Management House kitchen, and a workshop for student teachers have been added in the School of Home Economics.

LIBRARIAN Frank N. Jones has announced several projected de- velopments in the Edwin Watts Chuhh Library. He has named three principal objectives: (1) a rearrange- ment of the books in the building, with adequate "open" shelves for the more popular and most used titles, and at least three stack levels freely accessible to all users: (2) additional seating to guarantee eventually from Son to 1,000 seats in eight or ten rooms; (3) systematic improvement ot lighting.
The basis of Librarian Jones" plan ning is his belief that "the books be- long to the students ..." and that ". . . . students and the books should get together more often." His pro gram provides for "as little super- vision (by librarians) as possible" and a centralized checkout system.
Mr. Jones contends that when books are easily accessible to students. a college library will function in its proper place — "at the hub ot the academic wheel."
ONE HUNDRED AND eighty- seven University College stu- dents were honored at the Dean's List reception last month.
President Baker addressed the group, which included students from the University's branches at Ports mouth. Zanesville, and Chillicothe. The president and other admmi-tra tiw officers sponsor these receptions in honor of those freshmen win- at tain a 3.0 or better for their se mester's work.

The Student Council, faculty, and admini-lr.t tmn at Ohio University arc sponsoring a weekend i'ii mothers, May 12. 13, and 14. Great bustle and preparations arc going <>n for this celebration, and a large number ot guests are expected. From the advanced interest in this program, it appears that Athens will have more visiting mother- on these three days than ever before "ii a similar weekend in past years. Kathryn Johnson and Albert C. Gubitz, Jr., are the CO-chairmen for the entire program.
Everyone here at the University is delighted with these plans, be- cause we want to welcome parents of students, especially mothei arc anxious to have them know Ohio University as it is today, the way students live and play, and their great opportunities while here. One student -aid to me not long ago, "Every time I go home, I am surprised at how little my friends and even alumni with whom I talk kno our University today." This did not surprise me greatly, because I have heard identical remarks both from students and faculty members.
The program, a- planned, will leave our guc-ts m a breathless whirl when the weekend is past. The students are anxious to give their visitors a real taste of college life. Visitors will attend classes (if they care to). will go on personally-conducted tours of the campus, and will participate in more individual parties than n seems possible to arrange for "ne -heii weekend. In addition to these small family parties, a forma] program has been arranged as follows: Friday evening. May 12, Torch Sing: Saturday. May 1?, Tour of the Campus, Baseball Game (Ohm University vs. Miami University), Ohio Relays, Band Concert, Art Exhibit. Tea-: in the evening there will be a "May Sing" in which sorority and dormitory glee clubs will serenade the mothers.
The tour of the campus will show "the new" Ohio University so far as buildings are concerned. Visitors will have a chance to inspect everything from Bryan Hall, the new women's living hall, and the new Engineering Science Building, classrooms and laboratories, to the recently completed Student Health Center. Also, old timers will be much in- terested in the renovation of Cutler Hall, Ewing Hall, and the Musi( Building. Incidentally, the Student Health Building in recent weeks has had its first re.d test in the flu epidemic. Last year when we had no such epidemic, there were over ?7,nun separate visits to our Health Building which was then located in inadequate quarters. We hope every mother who possibly can will come to Athens for this special weekend Housing facilities, however, in Athens are limited: at the present time, the committee has room tor eight hundred guests. Even it you decide to come at the last minute, please write or telegraph so we will have some warning and can make the best possible living arrangements tor you. Cutler Hall will be the registration and information center. We are all looking forward with great anticipation to this weekend for mother-.

Dr. Green Is Faculty Lecturer
"Since the last war. the scientist has taken first place in the thinking of the American public," declared Dr. D. B. Green in the thud ol the current Faculty Lecture series. Hut he pointed out that the public becomes aware of scientific advances only as the engineer embodies them in machine- or manufacturing processes.
The Faculty Lectures, begun in 1945, are sponsored by the University to bring to faculty, -indent-, and townspeople the scholarly work oi us faculty and to give public recognition tn that work.
Dr. Green, speaking on the sub- ject "Electrons to Television." de- clared: "Not only does the engineer concern himself with promoting man's physical welfare by applying the find- ings of science to machines and proc- esses, but at the same time he pro
vide- the scientist himself with tools
to further explore the unknown. The
Professor Green, chairman of the Deport- ment of Electrical Engineering, joined its staff in 1925. Under his direction, this de- partment has experienced a steady growth in both enrollment ond offerings. For many years he has served Ohio University as a consultant in radio and sound engineering problems and has helped pioneer in the development of the campus radio stations.
At the present time, he is the chief engi- neer of the newly-installed FM station and a member of the radio executive committee. Dr. Green is the author of research articles in acoustics and electrical communications and is an active member of several pro- fessional organizations and honorary socie- ties.

National Cash Register President Is Campus Visitor
"The ability to get along with
other people is the number one re- quirement for success in any busi- ness," Stanley C. Allyn, president of the National Cash Register Co., told Ohio University students in a recent visit to the campus.
The speaker was sponsored jointly by Alpha Omicron, professional com- merce fraternity, and the University
administration. For his Ewing Audit- orium address, Mr. Allyn chose the topic. "Getting Ready for the Job Ahead." He wa- accompanied to the campus by Robert S. Oelman, Na- tional Cash Register vice president. Mr. Allyn said "training in good human relations" is one of the great est values of college. The speaker, a director of several business oryan

He called the college degree an "advantage," but warned his audi- ence, made up mostly of senior-, that a college degree is not "a passport to success." He cautioned the near graduates to select carefully, if they decide to join a manufacturing busi- ness, the firm for which they want to work.
Suggesting that companies should be required to till out "some an application blank" for the pro- spective employee, he listed five criteria by which a company might be judged as desirable or not from the prospective employee'- Stand pomt. (1) attitude toward research and engineering, (2) employee rela dons, (3) popularity of its product, (4) financial policv. and (>) ability to increase its earning power over the years.

KJn the ^rlumni ^srront
Although not yet free to give full time to his new duties as assistant alumni secretary, Martin L. Hecht, '46, has made excellent progress in one of his special responsibilities, that of servicing Ohio University's local alumni clubs and in assisting in the reactivation of dormant groups and the organization of new ones.
"Marty" has contacted key men and women in scores of Ohio com- munities and has found them cordi- ally cooperative in the matter of establishing new outposts. The com- ing year will find him farther afield, geographically, in this important work of bringing the university and its alumni closer together.
Reports of meetings in a number of the organized centers, as well as dates of future events, will be found in succeeding paragraphs. Definite announcements cannot yet be made by some clubs, but they may be ex- pected soon.
Dayton
Unintentionally omitted from pre- vious resumes of organised alumni activities was the annual "Christmas Dinner" of the Dayton chapter held December 17, at the South Park Methodist Church.
The party, one of five social events on the chapter's calendar for 1949-50, was largely attended and thoroughly enjoyed. The food was prepared by a committee of the members.
Greetings from the campus were brought to the group by Alumni Sec- retary Clark Williams, who is now convinced that the unusually enthus- iastic reports of past Christmas parties were not, and could not be, ex- aggerated.
C. Everett Weimer, Jr., '41, is president of the Gem City chapter. William R. Gray, '41, is vice presi- dent and program director, while Jane Mc El fresh Kinney, '42, holds the secretarial post.
Akron Women
Dr. Paul E. Belcher, '22, cashier, vice president, and general counsel of Akron's First National Bank, was the speaker at the January meeting ol the Akron Association of Ohio University Women, held at the home of Ruth Ault Smith, '16, 2-yr.. in Cuyahoga Falls.
( )n February 4, Bruce R. Blake. '40, chief announcer for Radio Station
WHKK, addressed the Akron alum- nae on matters pertaining to radio programs and broadcasting. Ethel Anderson Simon, '38, 2-yr., Akron, was the hostess for this meeting.
Alice Edwards Wright, '27, dis- cussed "Ceramics — Past and Present" at the March 4 meeting, for which Nadine Michael Jennings, '24, was the hostess at her Akron home.
REUNING IN JUNE
Special invitations are being ex- tended to the members of nine classes to return to the campus for reunions at Commencement time, June 10 and 11. They are the Classes of 1900 (Golden Annivers- ary), 1905, 1910, 1915, 1920, 1925 (Silver Anniversary), 1930, 1935, and 1940.
All alumni, of whatever class, are of course cordially welcome, but be- cause of limited facilities, housing and dining accommodations can be guaranteed only to members and families of the reunion classes. Mem- bers of the special classes total well over 1,500 and if they return in the numbers expected all available space in dormitory rooms and dining halls will be required for them.
Rooms in private homes will be solicited for non-reunioners and will be made available on a "first come," or rather first request, basis.
The largest graduating class in Ohio University history — approxi- mately 900 members — will receive degrees in outdoor exercises to be held Sunday afternoon, June 11. The commencement address will be given by a nationally-known speaker. The baccalaureate address, Sunday morning, will be given by Dr. D. Elton Trueblood, for ten years professor of philosophy and chaplain at Stanford University and now professor of phi- losophy at Earlham College. Dr. Trueblood is widely known for the many books of his authorship.
The annual golf tournament, class reunion luncheons, the supper under the Elms, and other commencement affairs will be events of June 10.
The program in detail will appear in the May "Alumnus."
The ballroom of the Women's City Club in the Rubber City was the scene of the club's annual Ohio Uni- versity Day Luncheon. The hostess
The Ohio Alumnus
for the event was Ida Mac Walthour Blundell, '24, 2-yr. The special guest and speaker was Dr. Leona Wise Felsted, the University's new dean of women, who was making her first "official" visit to an alumni group. Mrs. Felsted was accompanied by Martin L. Hecht, '46, who, as the recently-appointed assistant alumni secretary, paid his initial visit to this fine group.
Drusilla Riley, an Ohio U. junior and current holder of the club's an- nual scholarship, was present to meet the members and to tell of her activi- ties on the campus.
Pearl Woodward Smith, '25, is the 1949-50 president of the Akron As- sociation of Ohio University Women. The secretary is Susan Ault Smith.
Cleveland Bobcats
Carroll Widdoes, director of ath- letics and head football coach, and William J. Trautwein, associate di- rector of athletics, were given a cordial welcome by the Cleveland Bobcats at a dinner at the Cleveland Athletic Club on January 17. The subject of the evening's discussions — if you can't guess — was "Athletics at Ohio University."
The Bobcats gathered next at the C.A.C on February 16 to enjoy a smoker and some campus movies.
On April 20, the Clevelanders will have as guests from the campus C. N. Mackinnon, veteran professor of English, and James E. Snyder, '41, head basketball coach.

WITH THE COMING of "All Fool's Day" or April Fool's Day, the Ohio University 1950 spring sports program was launched with the baseball team seeing first action, closely followed by the golf- ers, as both squads embarked on their annual spring vacation training trips through the southern states.
Track and tennis squads went into action after the vacation period ended on April 12. and for the next six or seven weeks Bobcat teams will be in action nearly every weekday until the end of May.
Seventy'three events arc listed for the four squads, including the annual MidAmerican Conference champion- ships in track, tennis and golf, to be staged May 26 and 27 at Miami Uni- versity. In addition, the golfers will participate in the Ohio Intercollegiate meet at Columbus and the tracksters are scheduled to compete in the All- Ohio championships at Ohio Wesley- an on June 10. The 73 contests in- clude two freshman track meets.
A SQUAD OF CLOSE to 60 football prospects are working out daily under the direction of Coach Carroll C. Widdoes and his staff in their annual spring shake- down preparatory to the tough 10- game schedule facing the Bobcat griddcrs next fall. The spring prac- tice will be concluded with the an- nual intra-squad regulation game in the Ohio Stadium on Saturday, April
COACH BOB WREN'S basebal- lers broke the ice on the spring sports season when they crossed bats with Morris Harvey at Charleston, W. Va., in an added game to the southern trip which will see the Bob- cats in action eight times in a nine- day period.
The regular season, of 22 games, will open on the home field April 1? with Wisconsin as opponent. In addi- tion to the 10 games with other con- ference opponents, the Bobcats will clash with Purdue and Ohio State of the Big Ten, Notre Dame, West Vir- ginia. Kent State. Marietta, Marshall, Xavier and Muskingum.
Coach Wren looks to his veterans from last year for most of the action this year but there are several sopho- mores who probably will be used frequently as the season progresses as graduation will cut quite a gap in the current squad in June.
COACH KERMIT BLOSSER'S varsity golfers followed the base- ballers south but found their paths converging for only one day, April 6, when both squads competed against Elon College.
First match of the regular season will be April 1 5 against Ohio State at Columbus.
Coach Blosser has three veterans from last year — Dow Fmsterwald, Hubert Seb and Ed Kocinski — as the core of his team, with Roger Pedigo, former Athens boy, expected to com- plete the top four. Several strong prospects exist among other members of the squad, which has been holding its pre-season practice on the Logan Country Club course. All home matches will be played over the Athens Country Club links.
BIGGEST PROBLEM in the spring sports program probably is that facing Tennis Coach Al .Nellis who has only one veteran from last year back in uniform, and only a fair crop of prospects fighting for the other team berths. The squad faces a schedule of 10 matches in addition to the conference championships, and at the moment prospects probably are the dimmest in any of the spring sports.
COACH JIM JOHNSON'S track men have been getting in practice licks whenever weather conditions permitted and are reported rounding into good shape for their opener in a triangular meet here April 15 with Akron and Marshall. Six other dual meets are listed, followed with the MidAmerican and All-Ohio champ- ionship meets.
Coach Johnson has several veterans back, among them Ray Johnston and John Hesketh, both of whom were outstanding during the 1949 season, and from whom even greater develop- ments are anticipated this year.
OMITTED IN THE identification lines under the picture of the Bobcat swimming team in the March Alumnus was the name of Bill Earley. In the picture, Bill was third from the left in the front row.
CONTRIBUTORS TO THE Ohio University Fund, Inc., who wish to support the new ath- letic scholarship program should specify that their contributions are to go to the Special Scholarship Project.
The Special Scholarship Project has been established and given an account in the Ohio University Fund to provide tuition scholar- ships for scholastically-able high school athletes who rank in the upper half of their senior class. The project also requires that ap- plicants must show evidence of fi- nancial need. Final approval of ap- plications submitted by the direct- or of athletics must be given by the University's scholarships com- mittee.
Director of Athletics Carroll C. Widdoes states that the Special Scholarship Project should have a minimum of $5,000 in its account at the end of the current school
year in order to assure continuity of scholarships granted in the next few months. Initial grants to the scholar-athletes are for one year and cover the basic semester fee ($45) for each semester. No money will be paid directly to the student.
To be eligible to retain his athletic scholarship in his sopho- more year, the recipient must com- plete his freshman year with a minimum grade average of 2.0 and a minimum of 25 credit hours. Similar provisions cover his ap- plication for renewal in his junior and senior years.
All contributions for the ath- letic scholarship program should be made directly to the Ohio Univer- sity Fund (checks should be made payable to The Ohio University Fund, Inc.) and specified "for the Special Scholarship Project." Con- tributions to the Fund are deduct- ible, within provisions of the law, on income tax returns.

Prof. William H. Fenzel, "IS, of Commerce, believes a teacher's first duty is "to sec to it that his students acquire knowledge." But the teaching career of Bill Fenzel makes obvious another Juty implied in college teach- ing— an active interest in the extra curncular life ot student-;.
Throughout his 3 2 years as a teach- er at Ohio University, Professor Fenzel has maintained an active, help t'ul interest in extra curncular life at the University. He has given generously of his time and t. dents in advising and counseling undergradu ate organizations and in work with faculty committees having to do with students" extra-curricular activities.
Currently, he is a member ot the Faculty Fraternity Affairs Council, the Student ("enter Executive Com- mittee, and is Chairman ot the Com- mittee on Entertainment Space for the projected SI, 000,000 Student Center. He is also a member of the University College Committee. He is

With "little time tor outside in- terests," Professor Fenzel spends such time as he can find lor it in travel He names architecture as a "hobby," Stemming from an early ambition, and from that hobby have come plans for several buildings.
Before he retires, httyish Bill Fen- zel hopes to round out almost a half century in teaching. He declines to phrase a philosophy of teaching, especially in terms of technique-; and methods, because, as he sees it, "a teacher must adapt his technique-, his approach, and his methods to fit the need> of individual clause- and individual students."

COLLEGE OF APPLIED SCIENCE
(Continued from page }) power laboratory remains on the ground floor of Science Hall. During the past year, through the generosity of the General Electric Company we have been able to refurnish that lab- oratory with new equipment.
In the summer of 1947 a temporary war surplus building was erected on Richland Avenue just across South bridge. This building is still being utilized by the Engineering School for the departments of Engineering Drawing and Civil Engineering. The building contains soil mechanics, materials testing, and photogram- mctry laboratories, as well as three drafting rooms. This building will be used until the completion of the second wing of the new Engineering Building.
We believe that the quality i<( in- struction in our Engineering School is equal to that offered in an\ of engineering. The sire ot our school enables us more nearly to reach the ideal school of "a student and Mark Hopkins on a log". Oui will be inspected by the Engineers
( louncil for Professional Development in the fall of 1950. We anticipate that it will be fully accredited by that organization.
It i- interesting to note that at the l.i ;t two examinations in Architectur- al Engineering given by the State Board of Registration tor Professional Engineers .m Ohio University gradu- ate placed first.
Not all Ohio University students will be able to equal the magnificent gift of Mr. John Galbreath to his alma mater. But we believe that any student can help US materially in a more modest manner. Within the past two week- a young ni. in who re ceived hi- Bachelor ot Science in Electrical I degree in

The Ohio Alumnus
Ohio University Announces New Two- Year Study Program
Ohio University recently announced a two-year college program that The Cleveland Plain Dealer aptly termed "a new venture in public higher edu- cation in Ohio." Incorporating a balanced program of cultural and vo- cational studies, the two-year terminal program has received wide acclaim as a significant step in American college training.
The program is designed for the benefit of those high school students who are unable or who do not desire to take the four years of college work leading to a degree. It has been under development since 1946 and was formally set up last fall. While "new," it has been thoroughly tested in terms of the need for it and what it can do to meet that need. Cur- rently, 212 students are enrolled in the two-year program, which is ad- ministered by the University College. Twenty-nine two-year graduates are scheduled to receive their diplomas at the June Commencement. An As- sociate in Arts diploma is conferred on the two-year students when they complete the required 62 credit hours, with 124 grade points.
Although designed with the needs of Southeastern Ohio — Ohio Univer- sity's immediate area of service — in mind, the two-year program is, of course, open to any student. South- eastern Ohio high school administra- tors and teachers have repeatedly pointed out, and surveys and studies
By Dr. George W. Starcher, '26 Dean of the University College
substantiate their statements, that the percentage of high school graduates from the area who go to college is considerably smaller than the state and national figures. One Southeast- ern Ohio high school superintendent, whose school graduates more than 100 each year, stated that no more than 10 percent of his school's grad- uates enroll in college.
University and high school admin- istrators give considerable weight to the opinion that a psychological fact- or is involved in the problem of not enough Southeastern Ohio high school graduates attending college. It is be- lieved that many high school gradu- ates, in Southeastern Ohio and else- where, of definite ability to succeed in college, mistakenly think they are not able to pursue successfully the four-year college program. Many other capable high school graduates, of course, do not undertake the com- plete college program for financial reasons.
President John C. Baker and other administrators at the University em- phasize that the new college is not for those students who can't do col- lege work; they underscore the fact that the two-year program is college work. Indeed, on the basis of our experience with two-year programs since 1946, it is anticipated that many students will stay on to com- plete the four years and earn their baccalaureate degree.
Ohio University's two - year pro' gram, which draws upon all the facilities of the University, is much broader in its scope than the typical junior college, which often offers only two years of a liberal arts college program. Besides the university- level cultural subjects which the two- year program offers, it gives more at- tention to the vocational needs and objectives of its students than do many of the junior colleges.
Students in the two-year program are regular Ohio University students in every sense of the term. Enrollees in the new program are eligible for all University scholarships and other awards. They are eligible to partici- pate in all extra-curricular activities, including membership in the social fraternities and sororities and honor societies. They may participate in intramural and varsity athletics. Briefly, they are Ohio University undergraduates, with all the rights, privileges, and responsibilities accord- ed any other undergraduate.
All students in the two-year pro- gram take certain basic courses in English, speech, and physical welfare. The various vocational objectives of the two-year students obviously neces- sitate programs which include certain courses that are designated "required" for a particular vocational objective. But there is room in each program for the student to elect courses, which he is prepared to take, in any

school or college in the University.
Students are now pursuing two- year programs in general business, retailing, secretarial studios, education (cadet teacher program leading to provisional certificates), agriculture, forestry, architecture, art. design, painting, dramatics, speech, photog raphy, physical education, and radio. In this broad offering are to be found opportunities for occupational prep aration meeting the requirement- ol most high school graduates who see the tour year college degree programs as perhaps too demanding ol time and money.
No narrow definition oi the scope of two year programs is possible. There are, for all practical purposes, no predetermined limitations as to how many different patterns of courses might be developed to meet the needs ot two year students. The University plans to develop as many different programs as are needed to fit the aptitudes, vocational plans, and ambitions of the applicants, with- in the limits of available facilities. Each student's program of courses will be "tailor-made" to fit his partic- ular needs and desires. One example of the two-year program's ability to meet individual needs and desires is to be seen in the following:
A young minister's wife requested courses under the two-year program which would enable her better to ful- fill her duties as a wife and mother, in particular, as the wife of a min- ister. She did not go to college following her graduation from high
school, despite the fact that she had shown exceptional ability as a high school student and had won college scholarships in her senior year.
Here was a challenge for the two year program. Here was a "vocational objective" that was, to say the least, unusual. After careful consultation, ,i two year course of study suited to the needs ot this student was planned. Her program emphasizes courses hav- ing to do with home making and family living, but it includes courses in the humanities, the arts, and the u tences
As pointed out earlier, the program of each student, regardless of his vocational and educational objective, includes basic courses in English,

Industrlal Arts . . . Robert R. Short, of Marion
speech, and physical welfare. But from there, the kinds of courses differ according to the needs and desires of each student. For example, a stu- dent pursuing an industrial arts major may include in his program, as gen- eral education courses, Introduction to Fine Arts, General Sociology, and American Democracy. In his career he may include courses in General Woodworking, General Metal Work, Craft and Hobby Work, Graphic Arts, and advanced work in wood and metal.
The general education courses of a student enrolled in a secretarial studies program may include Con- temporary Economic Society, Ameri- can Democracy, and other courses in the social sciences. Career courses under such a program may include
Photography
. . . Joseph W. Karbonic, of La\ewood
Typewriting, Shorthand, Business Letter Writing, Elementary Account- ing, and such advanced courses as are elected by the student.
A student majoring in art may select as general education courses Introduction to Fine Arts and courses in the social and other sciences. His career courses may be in Design, Drawing, Architecture, Ceramics, and Sculpture.
In agriculture the two-year stu- dent may select general education courses in Botany, Sociology, and American Democracy. His career preparation includes courses in Gen- eral Agriculture, Forestry', Vegetable Gardening, Fruit Gardening, Land- scape Gardening, Soils and Fertilizers, Types and Breeds of Farm Animals, and Farm Management.
These sample curricula are not in- tended to suggest that the educational or training possibilities under the I 'niversity's new two-year program are limited. On the contrary-, it should be re-emphasized that the pro- gram is so constructed that it is able to meet the individual requirements of the students.
It is carefully designed to fulfill its primary purpose: namely, to bring to college more of the thousands of able young men and women who are graduated from high schools each year. They are entitled to at least a minimum of two years work at the college level and in the college en vironment

Wilson Shannon . . . honored
EARLY OHIO U. STUDENT
WAS FIRST NATIVE GOVERNOR
An early student of law at Ohio University was to become the first native governor of the state of Ohio, subsequently elected to Congress, and later appointed governor of the Ter- ritory of Kansas. He also served a brief appointment as minister to Mexico.
Wilson Shannon, elected governor of his state in 1837 and again in 1842, came to Ohio University in 1820 and studied law two years. He then spent a year at Transylvania, culminating his law studies in the offices of a brother and other lawyers.
Shannon was born at Mount Oli- vet, a small village in Belmont County near Barnesville, in 1803 — just one year before the founding of the University where he was to re- ceive his early education for the law profession.
Shannon's climb to glory was pre- luded by a defeat for Congress in 1832, but after that his political ascent was steady. Coming from a family of successful lawyers and poli- ticians, he added prestige to his heritage.
But Shannon's Ohio career began to collapse in the early 1850's, and he gladly accepted a presidential ap- pointment to Kansas. He reportedly handled the turbulent territory skill- fully, but resigned in 1857. During his ensuing private practice as a lawyer in Kansas, he became esteemed and loved, his biographers report. He
UNIVERSITY ANNOUNCES
NEW STUDENT LOAN FUNDS
Two new student loan funds have been established at the University.
The G. Franklin White Student Loan Fund of $1,000 was provided by the will of the late Dr. G. Frank- lin White, '01. Loans from this fund are granted to juniors and seniors at an interest rate of five percent, with preference given to students prepar- ing to teach and to premedical stu- dents. The grant also gives prefer- ence to residents of Ohio, although non-residents are not barred. Bor- rowers are required to have a scholas- tic average of C (2.0) or better.
Dr. White, a native of Hooksburg, was senior pathologist of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quaran- tine, U. S. Department of Agricul- ture, at the time of his death in 1937. He joined the Department of Agri- culture in 1906. He received his Ph.D. from Cornell in 1905 and his M.D. from George Washington Uni- versity in 1909. Similar student loan funds were established at both those schools by Dr. White's will.
The Lakewood Mothers' Club Loan Fund has been established by the Ohio University Mothers' Club of Lakewood. The fund provides $100 to be used as an emergency loan fund for students whose homes are in Lakewood, Rocky River, or Bay Village. Any amount up to $10 may be borrowed for one month's time. A fee of 25 cents is charged for each loan.
GENE CHUFAR, Canton sopho- more, placed second in the state- wide extemporaneous speaking con- test held at Ohio Wesleyan, and Tad Danielewski, a senior foreign student from Poland, entered the finals in the oratorical contest with his speech on "A Way of Life Called Democracy." Robert Wilson, '49, last year went to the national contest.
died in Lawrence, Kansas, in 1877 and is buried there.
Ohio honors her own, however, and last summer Governor Lausche was the principal speaker at cere- monies in memory of Wilson Shan- non. With several Shannons from Belmont County in attendance, a bronze plaque, set in a native boulder, was unveiled on the grounds of Mount Olivet school, a lasting, if belated, tribute to Ohio's first native governor.

NEW YORK CENTRAL NAMES OHIOAN TO HIGH POSITION
Dwight A. Fawcett, '13, 2-yr., was recently named assistant vice presi- dent, New York Central System lines west of Buffalo, with head- quarters at LaSalle Street Station, Chicago.
Mr. Fawcett joined the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago, and St. Louis Ry. (now the Big Four Division of the New York Central) as a clerk in 1908. He has held a variety of posi- tions and duties within the system, and in 1939 he was appointed assist- ant superintendent of the Ohio Divi- sion.
Promotions came steadily, and in 1942 he became superintendent of the Ohio Division; in 1944, assistant to the general manager of the Big Four Division; in 1945, assistant general manager at Indianapolis; in 1946, manager of freight transportation, with headquarters in New York City. Prior to his newest position, he was, since 1947, general manager of the New York Central at Cincinnati, with jurisdiction over the Big Four, the Peoria ii Eastern Railway, and the Louisville & Jeffersonville Bridge ii Railroad.
Mr. Fawcett, a native of Rushyl- vania, is married to the former Hazel Winter, '16x, of Crooksville.

Arthur W. Sherman. Jr.. will re- turn to the Ohio University campus and faculty next fall as an instructor in psychology. He has spent the past two years in graduate work and teaching at Ohio State University. Reference was made to one of his research studies at Ohio University in a syndicated cartoon strip bearing the title "Let's Explore Your Mind" appearing, in the instance brought to the editor's attention, in the December 4th issue of the Washington Post. Mr. Sherman found that "among 504 Ohio University women those who phoned home frequently 'just to hear their parents voices," had more friends on the average than the others." He suggests, according to the news item, that these students may be dependent, clinging vines who want friends to play the role of parents. If so, sociability and making friends may some- times be a sign of lack of grownupness and emotional immaturity instead of the opposite, as always assumed.

A recognition which reflects credit both upon himself and his pre-medical training at Ohio U. has come to Paul J. Ander- son. Modestly, he reports that "my ac- tivities at the University of Chicago Med- ical School are hardly auspicious — I con- tinue in the pattern of the traditional medical student, slowly progressing through an intricate maze of classes, text- books, laboratories and clinics." The Ohio U. man, nevertheless, was elected pres- ident of the freshman class of the Uni- versity of Chicago Medical School.
The Philo "Electrics" coached by Robert D. Dickey lost, by one point in the district tournament at Athens, an op- portunity to enter the state basketball finals at Columbus last month. With an Atlas-like feeling, the outcome of the game on his shoulders, one of Coach Dickey's players failed to make good on a foul shot in the closing seconds of the pay-off game of the regional tournament at Athens. A successful toss would have meant at least a tie and an overtime per-
iod, with a chance for ultimate victory. In winning 25 out of 28 games during the past season, Bob's boys made good on 39 per cent of their field goal tries and 52 per cent of their free throws.
