PRESIDENTS CORNER

LOOKING FORWARD TO 1979:

Early this month a conversation between Wal-
ter Cronkite and Eric Severeid was telecast
on CBS. The first comment I heard about it
later was "they are so pessimistic!"

It can be disconcerting to hear two highly re-
spected journalists admit that they don't know
whether this country will fare very well in
1979. Our problems are immense and solu-
tions may demand more than Americans are
willing to provide. Yet is this acknowledg-
ment pessimism ?

The big booster-rooters often suggest
by their self-induced enthusiasm that we can
encourage ourselves into paradise. Their
unending pep talks are boring to the point of
paralysis. Even the half truth that doom can
be a self-fulfilling prophecy loses its punch
three days after Halloween. Personally, I
find the admissions of Severeid and Cronkite
refreshing and encouraging. Confidence
based upon quick and easy solutions, inflated
expectations, and dogmatic claims to omni-
science frighten me even more than the trou-
bles of our times.

Naive optimism whistles in the dark. It is
wishful thinking masquerading as confidence.
Self-deception in the face of danger is really
the antithesis of genuine optimism. Unvar-
nished realism, on the other hand, is usually
expressed by basically confident analysts.

tnber diagnoses of the human condi-
tion reflect, it seems to me, combinations of
optimism and courage. They couple the as-
sumption that opportunity continues with a
willingness to risk and venture.

[ axped I If i i a risk, a big risk. Maybe

I've read too many stories about Abraham
and Moses who ventured, not knowing where
the future would lead them. They didn't even
expect to know how the story would end before
the) embarked. They exercised reliable op-
timism, not because they felt immune to trou-
ble, but because they trusted in something
. They were optimistic,
not because they counted on success, but
because they knew that personal adversity
and even failure can be transformed by his-
tory if guided by providence.

Courage is not so much confidence in one's
personal prowess as it is the willingness to
face an unknown future. Reliable optimism
springs not from self-sufficiency or a sense
of adequacy but from courage coupled with
faith. Pessimism and despair overwhelm us
not because risks and problems have never
been so great (they probably have!), but be-
cause we no longer see opportunity in those
risks and problems. Reliable optimism is
never an underestimation of the dangers and
threats. It is courage reinforced by a vision
of ever-present opportunity. The issue is
not how rough the sledding gets; the issue is
whether we have the courage to peer into the

$500,000 GIFT LIFTS CAMPAIGN
FOR GEORGE R. LAMADE GYM

The Partners in Progress Campaign re-
ceived a substantial financial increment and
the proposed gymnasium a name January 17
at a Leaders Dinner held for approximately
75 prominent WiUiamsport area residents in
Pennington Lounge.

The major development in the drive to raise
$3,700,000 for a new physical education and
recreation center came with the announce-
ment by John E. Person, Jr., a member of
the Board of Trustees, acknowledging a con-
tribution of $500,000 from the WiUiamsport
Foundation with a suggestion that the gymna-
sium in the proposed center be named The
George R. Lamade Gymnasium in honor of a
former outstanding community leader who
died in 1965. Person made the announcement
in a dual capacity as a member of the Leader-
ship Gifts Committee of the campaign and as
chairman of the WiUiamsport Foundation.
The Board of Trustees in an earUer meeting
had unanimously approved the suggested name
for the new gymnasium.

The late George R, Lamade, a lifelong resi-
dent of WiUiamsport who received an honor-
ary Doctor of Letters Degree from Lycoming
in 1957, was publisher of Grit PubUshing
Company, WiUiamsport, at the time of his

LOW BID OF *2. 789.000
RECEIVED FOR NEW GYM

Bids from nine general contractors were sub-
mitted to the coUege for construction of the
proposed physical education and recreation
center and school officials were elated when
the low bid of $2,789,000 by Bloom Penn
Contractors of Bloomsburg was considerably
less than anticipated.

The figure includes a base bid of $2,409,000
plus six alternate bids of $380, 000 for op-
tional facUities, with most of the alternates
to cover the cost of increasing the size of the
gymnasium from a two to a three-station unit.
A station is the equivalent of one basketbaU
court. Bids ranged from the low of $2,789,000
by Bloom Penn to a high of $3, 170, 500 submit-
ted by S. G. Mastriani Company, Scranton.

Dr. Frederick E. Blumer, president of Ly-
coming, said the bids will be studied by the

death. He was an outstanding c
leader throughout his adult Ufe and supported
many progressive civic projects which he
believed would aid in the development and
growth of the city.

The $500, 000 from the foundation increased
the total from the major advanced gifts an-
nounced recently in the Partners in Progress
Campaign to $760,000. Two large contribu-
tions revealed previously include $200,000
from the Pew Memorial Trust and one of
$60, 000 from the late Walter J. Heim, a mem
ber of the Board of Trustees at the time of
his death in 1978.

The advanced gifts phase of the campaign is
expected to continue for several more months
before the pubUc portion of the campaign is
launched at mid-year.

Building and Grounds Committee and recom-
mendation to accept or reject the bids will
be made to the Executive Committee of the
Board of Trustees for final action at a meet-
ing later this month. He said the Executive
Committee will also determine whether the
gymnasium wiU be a two or three-station unit.

A definite timetable for groundbreaking and
construction of the new building is expected to
be announced soon after the meeting of the
Executive Committee, if the committee ap-
proves the awarding of a contract. The ten-
tative target dates are April or May for the
official groundbreaking and completion of con-
struction is anticipated by September, 1980.
The proposed buUding wiU be located south
of the present gymnasium on the former site
of Old Main and the present Eveland HaU,
which wUl be razed.

Plans call for 64,034 square feet of flexible
space in the building and will include regula-
tion-size courts for basketbaU, indoor tennis,
volleybaU and badminton along with related
faciUties. Also to be included are areas for
wrestling, gymnastics, modern dance and
intramural sports. In addition, there will be
a regulation-size, six-lane swimming pool
with a 200-seat gaUery for spectators. The
main gymnasium is expected to accommodate
approximately 2,000 spectators.

GRANT OF $4,500 AWARDED
FOR NEW CHAPEL CENTER

A grant of $4, 500 has been awarded to the
Lycoming College United Campus Ministry
by the Pitcairn-Crabbe Foundation, Pitts-
burgh, to help finance construction of a
physical center for ministry activities and
programs in the basement of Clarke Chapel.

The Pitcairn-Crabbe Foundation, with assets
of $3, 750, 000, supports organizations located
within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
with preference given to Western Pennsylva-
nia. Grants are awarded primarily to reli-

vices, church- related schools, and colleges
and theological

The $4,500 grant from the foundation will
supplement funds provided by the Bishop of
Scranton to finance the construction of a wor-
ship center to be used for Roman Catholic
liturgy. It will also be available for other
ecumenical religious services.

Construction of the center is expected to be-
gin next spring. The area to be utilized for
the worship complex is presently occupied by
the scenery workshop of the college theatre
department. The workshop will be relocated
after completion of a campus facility Utiliza-
tion survey being conducted in correlation
with the proposed construction this year of a
new physical education and recreation center.

The ministry center will include the chapel
and a meeting area with kitchen facilities for
social events. A second area adjacent to the
workshop center will be converted into a
lounge -reading area, storage space for chap-
el equipment, a robing room, and a private
area for use by the college chaplains for
counseling and the Sacrament of Reconcilia-

Two small adjacent rooms will be used for a
clerical (unction and for records, files, stud-
ent committee headquarters and office space
for the volunteer programs.

The Lycoming College United Campus Minis-
try serves students of all faiths and denomi-
nations, as well as those who have no specif-
ic identification with a church. Services are
provided by chaplains for each faith and de-
nomination with significant representation
among the students. Chaplains have been
appointed by the college, in cooperation with
local churches, to serve students who are
Roman Catholic, United Methodist, Lutheran,
Presbyterian, Episcopalian and Baptist.

Choir To Appear on National Radio Program

Members of the Lycoming College Concert Choir were to begin rehearsals this month
in preparation for three concerts which will be presented in 1980 on the Protestant Hour,
a nationwide radio program with an estimated audience of 10,000,000.

| Although listeners of the weekly one-hour broadcast will not hear the concerts until mid-
1980, rehearsals were to start soon after students returned from the holiday-semester
break in January to prepare for the recordings of the three concerts prior to the end of
the 1978-79 spring term.

Producers of the program work at least one year in advance, and Dr. Fred M. Thayer,
assistant professor of music and director of the choir, said the recording staff from the
CBS Radio Network will be on campus soon after the spring break in March to tape the
musical portion of the three programs. The 62-voice choir will sing four hymns, three
responses, and one anthem during each of the broadcasts, which will be aired on May 25,
June 22, and July 20, 1980. United Methodist Bishop Roy Nichols will preach the ser-
mons to be presented as part of each program.

Lycoming College was chosen to participate in three of the United Methodist Series of
programs after auditioning in competition with other choirs several months ago. Dr.
Frederick E. Blumer, president of Lycoming, was notified of the selection of the choir
by David M. Abernathy, executive director of the Joint Communications Committee of The
United Methodist Church. The Protestant Hour is co-sponsored by The United Methodist,
Episcopal, Lutheran and Presbyterian denominations.

INJURIES COULD DELAY
200th WHITEHILL WIN

Lycoming's wrestling squad welcomed the
long four-week holiday-semester break to
recuperate from numerous injuries which
had sidelined a number of the grapplers dur-
ing early-season competition and which may
delay coach Budd Whitehill's reaching a dis-
tinguished milestone in his coaching career —
200 wins as a college wrestling coach.

Despite the absence of several veteran wrest-
lers, the Warriors easily topped King's, 32-6
in the only dual meet prior to the holiday-
semester break. They also finished fourth
and eighth, respec-
tively, in the strong
Bloomsburg State
College and Lock
Haven State College
tournaments. Ly-
coming was the only
Division III team
entered in either
tournament. A
second dual meet
with Mansfield
scheduled for De-
cember 14 was
changed to January
29 because of final
exams at Lycoming.

Chilli

Unless the injured wrestlers fail to recuper-
ate or the Warriors are unexpectedly upset
in dual meets they normally would be expect-
ed to win, Whitehill could achieve a feat
sometime in January only a relatively few
wrestling coaches have attained in college
ranks. The only coach the Warrior wrestlers
have had since the sport was introduced in
1956, Whitehill began the season with a 197-

Basketball Record 4-5
Nearing Halfway Point

The Lycoming basketball team opened the
season with two victories, both in Hilltop
Gym, before playing seven consecutive games
on foreign courts where the Warriors lost five
of the seven contests for a 4-5 record ap-
proaching the halfway point of a 22-game
schedule.

Coach Dutch Burch's cagers began the season
with a 79-64 win over Lock Haven State Col-
lege and a 90-74 thumping of Juniata in a
Middle Atlantic Conference game before drop-
ping four straight on the road to Scranton, 77-
70; Wilkes, 62-60 in overtime; Navy, 94-70,
and Widener, 81-59, in the opening round of
the Widener Christmas Tournament. The
Warriors broke the losing streak by cap-
turing the consolation championship of the
tournament with a 72-60 defeat of Swarth-
more. The Warriors also finished third in
the Flying Dutchman Tournament at Lebanon
Valley when they trounced York College, 74-
58, after losing to Susquehanna, 60-56, in
the opening game.

The two tournaments served as warm-ups
for the tough race ahead for a spot in the MAC
playoffs. The Warriors face an uphill battle
to repeat or improve last year's second-place
finish. The Northern Division of the confer-
ence has been divided into two sections this
year, with the two top positions in each of the
sections eligible for the playoffs. The Wilkes
and Scranton losses dropped the Warriors to a
1-2 MAC mark, and 10 of the remaining 13
games on the schedule are conference contests
Fourteen games were played under last year's
league structure, and the Warriors' second-
place finish came on a 9-5 record.

95-1 record, and adding the win against Kings,
needs only two more victories to reach the
coveted 200-victory mark.

During the span of 22 years, Whitehill's
teams have had only two losing seasons
while compiling the 197-95-1 record. The
fine won-lost mark becomes even more im-
pressive when considering the tough schedule
of recent years when approximately half of
the teams the Warriors have faced have been
from Division I schools. The Warriors have
not lost to a Division III team since 1974-75,
and for the last two years the Blue and Gold
wrestlers have been champions of the Middle
Atlantic Conference. The string of 31 con-
secutive wins over opponents from their own
division goes back to a close 21-19 loss to
Elizabethtown in 1974-75 during one of the
two years Lycoming has recorded a losing
season (9-10). The other (2-4) came in the
first year of competition in 1956-57.

None of Whitehill's team have ever been un-
defeated, although both the 1961-62 and the
1962-63 squads came close. The 1961-62
team compiled the best record in the 22-year
history of the sport at Lycoming by winning
11 meets while losing only one, and the fol-
lowing year the Warriors compiled a fine
lo-l mark to go on record as the only two
teams to come within one victory of marking
up an undefeated season. The one tie on the
Lyco record came in 1973-74 when the War-
riors and the University of Maryland battled
to a 15-15 stalemate in a quadrangular meet
at College Park, Md. A large number of
Whitehill's wrestlers have captured Middle
Atlantic Conference and national champion-
ships during his 22-year tenure at Lycoming.

The debut of women's basketball as a varsity
sport at Lycoming was delayed until mid-Jan-
uary when the opening game with Wilkes on
December 12 had to be cancelled because of
a mix-up in the schedule. The contest at
Wilkes was to have been the only game prior
to the long holiday -semester break, and the
women were scheduled to make their delayed
debut at home on January 16 against Susque-
hanna. The game was the first of 11 to be
played before ending the season at King's on
February 22.
