Growth, Strength: The University

From the Outside

The campus pond reflects lights strung along Ellis Drive for Senior Week.

T«

. HE University must be a strange place to those outside. There is a constant busy-ness throughout the normally accepted school year from September to June, but the pace seems leisurely to those not involved in the process of learning. To one not trained at a university, the movement must be as inexplicable as the swarming of bees at the hive, the swirling of snow into a drift or the scudding of clouds to a thunderhead: Movements in confusion to a recognizable end.

Here, the recognizable end is the baccalaureate gained as the fruition of the four- year pace of seemingly confused movement, including curricula and non-curricula. The pace may be sometimes leisurely, sometimes frenetic, sometimes rhapsodic. Sometimes there isn't enough time, and sometimes there's too much time. But within four years there will surely be all sorts of times, including good and bad.

The following looks at nearly a year of that time.

Yet, a basketball game at the Cage is likely to out- draw GoodeH's offerings, as students try to achieve all experiences in a four year career.

A Slackened Pace

Leads to Leisure and the Pond

R,

-URAL hints remain that the University once was agriculturally oriented. The pond, at the bottom of the natural bowl ringed by man- made brick and steel mammoths, offers a place for leisurely moments when a person can afford to lie quietly and soak sun.

Here, a couple can talk undisturbed, or relax unabashed. Spring and Autumn come to life here when the crocuses sprout and the leaves turn yellow and red. At the pond the pace slows down, lan- guishes, but never stops: it's a refreshing pause.

10

A Change In The Weather, Scenery

A

change of weather, a change of scenery, and the press is on full swing. By the first snowfall, finals are in sight. What remains to be done in the way of studies is under attack.

The relaxing pause finds its locale shifted indoors, usually the Student Union. The vernal setting becomes smokey, semi-obscured, raucous to a juke box tune.

And the grind goes on through all seasons until the goal is reached.

Campus Springtime

k3uNSHINE comes into each life, say the sages, and students get their share on the spacious lawns of cam- pus. Springtime is the nicest time, when the lush ver- dure of the Valley swells in its most pregnant beauty.

Studies become an outdoor activity^ as individuals and whole classes find the shade of the elms and the moist green carpet a soothing aid to the pursuit of academic excellence.

Rains Changed Complexion

Th

.HE campus awash is little different from the campus high and dry, but for the mud low and wet.

Brilliant sun given away to gray rain denudes the campus of ornamentation, save for yellow slickers, sorority sailor caps and assorted goofy lids to keep hairdos more or less in place during brief runs between classes.

Academic Pressures

A,

..T some point in Fall's early warmth, when spirit has yet to be drained by examinations, and the football season is still comfortable for the fan in shirt sleeves, the social venting of as yet undeveloped pressure be- gins.

This is accepted, generally speaking, by one and all, both student and faculty on the basis of a belief that something special, exciting or relaxing, ought to be included in that academic scheme of things.

23

Fast Paced Hoopla Is Part Of Fun-

The Non-Curricula

I

N the scheme of things academic falls that which is non-academic, or non-curricula. Practi- cally unheard of a hundred years or so ago, this diversionary channel moves the would-be overflow of academic exuberance to safe floor basins: Ath- letic fields, student publications and government.

And possibly-misdirected energy is well spent.

Ivy Covered Walls Get No Support Here

X ROM football season to football season, a natural beauty pervades the campus, lending an ivy-covered- wall affect that could be called a false front, since ivy- covered-wall-ism is not traditional at the University.

There is little traditional at the University at the present time. Whether growth provides a poor soil for the rooting of tradition, or unseen forces continually sabotage the attempts, the University can be "tradition- ally" described as one of great natural beauty and few traditions.

Sagging Tradition Keeps Watch On Movement

Tk

.RADITION: That's what Metawampe, Old Chapel and South College smack of. They stand still watching, used for whatever use can be got out of them. Chapel went from what its name signifies, to Old Chapel (vacated four years ago by the English department at the completion of Bartlett Hall), to the Music department's haven, pending construction of a fine arts building.

South College houses the administration and IBM, which will move when the new administration building is completed. And Metawampe stands by, not sure any longer of his function.

Movement Produces Viable Traditions

\MX I

I

N the past fifteen years a new tradition has made its mark at the University: holes in the ground and derricks in the air.

UnUke Metawampe, Chapel and South College, this tradition seems inexhaustible — in fact, mean- ingful— in the face of University growth.

The Frenetic Pace of Building

Skeletal frames of what-wUl-be seemingly sprout from the ground. As if a huge harrowing machine were gouging furrows for enormous plants, holes sink into the ground literally overnight, as augmented work forces build the University's buildings of the future.

What the future will bring is a matter of speculation. And common sense dictates that the physical expansion will have to stop. But what can never cease to grow and expand is the intangible reason for a University's being at all.

I NDIAN Summer's warmth and color served to heighten and brighten Home- coming 1963.

Brilliantly garbed marchers supple- mented a gala float parade through Am- herst Friday evening bearing a sole mes- sage; "Beat Rhode Island." Thousands of spectators lined to watch more than forty floats, representing weeks of prep- aration by fraternities, sororities, and dormitories.

Prize winners were; fraternities; Beta Kappa Phi, QTV, Phi Sigma Delta; so- rorities; Sigma Kappa, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Pi Beta Phi; Men's dorms; Greenough, Baker, Wheeler; and Wom- en's dorms; Knowlton, Van Meter North, Johnson.

Blonde Sandy Pierce '67 was crowned Homecoming Queen at the foUowing Rally- Without-a-Bonfire necessitated by a six-week drought. Members of the court included; Anne Creedon '66, Elaine Howe '66, Judy Sturtevant '67, and Vicki Lippner '67.

A record crowd of 12,000 students and alumni saw the undefeated Redraen, sparked by Milt Morin and Bernie Dal- las, crush the R.I. Rams 57-0 Saturday afternoon.

Squeeze Is On: Dorm Construction Misses Deadlines

u

A familiar dorm scene on Saturday afternoons.

NFORESEEN difficulty in housing 5470 students this year developed when four dorms failed to meet completion schedules in September.

Until May, 1963, it was assumed the dorms being constructed on the hill north of campus would be ready for occupancy last fall, and applicants were accepted on that premise.

Students who would have occupied these dorms flooded present facilities. Result was that the campus' 26 dorms housed 845 students above normal ca- pacity, and several hundred upperclass- men moved to off-campus quarters.

To help relieve crowding, 600 rooms in boys' dorms were converted into triples while threesomes of girls were squeezed into 245 regular size rooms. Less than 20 rooms on campus are designed as triples.

In addition, 139 single rooms were furnished to accommodate two.

Makeshift conditions were partially re- heved in January when, as is always the case, more students left than arrived on campus.

While overcrowding may never be completely eliminated, continuous cam- pus expansion wiU force dormitory con- struction to keep pace with the growth of the student body.

38

The all-important phone call.

Wash day — again.

Don't forget to sign out, girls.

R,

. ESPONSIBILITY for coordinating campus housing for 5470 stu- dents in September fell on the University's Housing Office, under the direction of Mr. John Welles.

As an administrative body. Housing is very closely connected with students.

Aiding him are Administrative Assistant Frank Thomas, Staff Assistant Bob Van Vliet, Men's and Women's Housing Officers and two Assistant Housing Officers.

Housing exists not only to put out brush fires, but as a planning agency for future facilities — planning as much as 20 years in advance by consid- ering projected enrollment plans and academic facilities.

Plans for the future provide for a campus community centered around the pond, with dorm areas equidistant from the center. Automobiles will be pushed further and further away from the center of campus to periphery areas.

39

Students' wives enjoy a "hen" session.

The family budget must be carefully planned each week. Family life is planned for studying. 40

Books and Brooms and Babies-- The Double Life of Married Students

C

^EVEN hundred and thirty-five members of the campus community lead a double life.

Daily the occupants of the married students' dorms combine books and brain-work with dusting, dish- washing, and diapering.

Typical of the student family are Mr. and Mrs. Dick Buck and their three children.

As a student and family man, Dick, a senior govern- ment major, like most husbands doesn't help with do- mestic chores in order to devote more time to studies and a part-time job.

Though life is dictated by financial restrictions, the low rent in married dorms helps make schooling a real-

ity for some students who couldn't otherwise afford it.

Pleasure for the Bucks consists in relaxation from studies and chores, usually concerts or football games with an occasional movie. Rare nights out are made possible by swap babysitting among the ten families on the floor.

More frequent are the evening get-togethers in one apartment while special occasions are celebrated with corridor parties and dancing in the halls.

Although separated from the mainstream of UMass life, married couples still feel themselves a part of the campus because they live so close and can take advan- tage of cultural and entertaining programs.

The inevitable in every home.

off Campus Living Affords New Facets For Many

±_ OR the first time in many years, off-campus housing is being enjoyed by a considerable group of under- graduate male students. Suspiciously regarded only a few years ago, off-campus housing is something of a blessing to harried administrators.

Most students find it pleasurable to have more than one room. Planning meals, shopping and cooking cram an already busy schedule, but the challenge is felt to be worth it.

Usually chores are assigned according to one's class- hour schedule, thus allowing for all to participate in the housework.

As some students observe: "It's certainly homeier than a dormitory and not as strictly run as a fraternity. You're more on your own."

"These things just keep piling up," says Paul Levy, "but we've got it set up so all of us get a chance."

Says Jeff Eisman: "I find it more comfortable here."

"We eat pretty well," offers George Masselam (left), "but the budget can present problems."

University Theatre's Roman Holiday

A

ROISTEROUS Roman comedy called Twin Menaechmi bounded onto the Bowker stage to open University Theatre's second season as the University's academic theatre.

Second century Rome would have roared guf- faws of recognition at the production. Masks made by part-time student Kathy Wrynn added authenticity and gaiety to twentieth century puns dubbed in for audience identification.

Jim Wrynn, Kathy Wrynn's husband; Larry Wilker, Paula Norton and Deena Ferrigno headed up a talented cast, which produced a fine play and added even more color to Homecoming Weekend.

Slipping out of celastic masks and into Victo- rian garb, the UT's, aided by Roister Doisters, brought UMass the record-breaking Ghosts.

Spring semester, UT followed up with Shake- speare's Othello and Robert Penn Warren's All The King's Men, besides sponsoring a University Reading Theatre production of a new play by a young American playwright.

Not only actors, but stage crews — knee deep in sawdust and up to elbows in paint — worked on shows, whether for academic credit, points toward RD membership or sheer fun.

It's hurry up and wait for chow.

Lines form at the rear — far rear.

A^

^MONG the introductions are the lines: registration line, book store line, ID line, Hatch line, Commons' line, and others.

With 6800 students enrolled, the suc- cession of one upon another in quest of a common goal is bound to result in long lines.

However, the physical plant continues to grow, thus affording the possibility of cut-down lines. Meanwhile, human nature will retain a certain hatred for lines, and undergraduates will question the value of the wait for Commons' food.

But the problem of lines at the Univer- sity of Massachusetts may yet refute a Euclidian axiom about a straight line be- ing the shortest route between two points.

Finally they reach the goal, one at a time.

Memory Of Being — Search For Being

Tb

.ENSELY probing and tragically enigmatic was Luigi Pirandello's Six Characters in Search of an Author, presented to an enthusiastic UMass audience of 1200 by the Circle in the Square off- Broadway company.

The October presentation was the first Dis- tinguished Visitor's Program offering of the year.

A slapstick rehearsal of eight actors and their director is interrupted by a family of six agonized characters, who hang in a horrible existence and cannot die. Cries the father — "It's unjust that our whole existence is based on one fleeting moment

of etermty." They have a past with a story, but no existence; they beg the director to write their play and their lives.

He agrees, and he has his actors play out the story as the characters tell him it has been. "One person cannot get into another," cries one of the characters in anguish as he sees the play of his life.

Their Uves cannot be performed, their story cannot be written — the characters vanish, the actors leave, wonderingly.

DVFs Shirer Drops "Third Reich Secrets"

For World Situation

w.

ILLIAM L. Shirer, DVP's Novem- ber offering, put aside the "Problems of the Third Reich" to speak a series of pronouncements on the world situation.

"No free democratic country in West- ern Europe would stand for a reunifica- tion of Germany, for a united Germany would become the strongest power in Europe," said Shirer.

But he conceded that within the next hundred years Germany would adjust to the Democratic process.

"Russian development in technology and education poses a threat to us" Shirer told the 1600 in the Student Union ballroom. To serve the overflow crowd, the Union's public address system piped the voice of the man who authored The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and Berlin Diary into various lounges in the building.

Shirer stressed the need for U.S. — So- viet understanding in the face of the nu- clear potential possessed by the two pow- ers.

Shirer cautioned, "Red China can no longer be swept under the bed," and lauded foreign aid as a tangible form of U.S. generosity.

Said Shirer, looking back, "I think we can say we've not had a bad record."

Smothers Brothers In S. U. Sponsored Show

J. X ALF the student body was at home and the "Cage," traditional home for campus concerts, was closed for repairs, but the Smother's Brothers were a hit anyway.

The November 10 concert coincided with the Veteran's Day weekend, but 1700 students jammed the Union Ballroom and countless more en- joyed the concert with a cup of coffee as the program was piped into the "Hatch."

Since their introduction to television audiences on the Jack Paar Show the Brothers have been entertaining people across the country through records, night spots, and the college concert field.

Tom and Dick Smothers create their act by combining genuine wit with just-as-genuine musical talent. Straight-faced Dick kept the program mov- ing, but the seemingly naive stage appearance of Tom captivated the audience.

"If you heard their constant stage bickering, could you doubt they were brothers?", as some students observed.

Rallies Few--Bonfires Fewer

J_/AD weather, long weekends and a sure-thing football team put the damp- er on Fall rallies.

First drought, then down- pour, ruled out bonfires and the final rally.

By mid-season the Red- men seemed to need no pre-game boost to trample the opposition.

At one point, to over- come the weather, an in- door rally was attempted. Cheerleaders, band and football team turned out as usual, but attendance failed to be impressive.

2400 Donuts Get Dunked Into 3000

Cups of Coffee by 6500 Persons

OeVENTEEN hours a day, seven days a week the Hatch caters to the coffee, companion- ship, and conversation needs of students.

The Hatch is the real center of campus hfe where students meet the gang between classes, snag weekend dates, discuss the assignment for the class they're cuttirtg, and sometimes even type term papers.

Its casual atmosphere also at- tracts professors who take a rest from lecturing or correct the blue books they've promised to return the next period. Even the admin- istration sends Dean of Students William Field as the special am- bassador to the Hatch.

Hatch weekend meals provide a welcome relief from Dining Commons diet. Chicken dinners and hamburgs and french fries top the list of campus favorites. While waiting in the (seemingly) endless line, students make new acquaintances and enjoy the sweet music of the Beatles.

According to Assistant Mana- ger, Mr. A. C. Fontaine, the Hatch serves over 500 meals a day with Monday and Thursday nights the busiest dinner nights. Over 24,000 donuts get dunked into 3000 cups of coffee by 6500 persons who often over- flow the 567 customer seating capacity.

The average student spends about ten hours a week there while the addicted Hatch rat takes an occasional break to at- tend classes.

X OOR Mr. Webster would probably roll over in his grave if he could see what connotation has done to his English language.

Take the word Union and ask any University student what it means. The Union . . . it's a place to buy. A place to buy coffee, papers, books, laundry soap, contemporary cards, and one way bus tickets in those discouraging mo- ments.

It's a place to relax or just kill time in the bowling alley, the pool room, the reading lounge, or the music room. It's the place of the Friday night dance, the Pep Rally, or the bigger social events like Mill Ball.

It's also a place to learn, in the study areas and at the lectures.

Further it's a place to produce, in the offices of the Collegian, the Index, the Senate and the nu- merous conference rooms.

J^^OR only seventy-five cents apiece two thousand University students were treated to an evening's entertainment at a Vegas night spot — Club 66.

For five hours on November 16, the Ballroom at the Union opened its doors under the guise of a gambling casino, compliments of the sophomore class.

Moneychangers, waitresses and ciga- rette girls in short skirts, husky bouncers, and friendly bartenders all lent atmos- phere to the Club. Authentic backdrops from Las Vegas and a floor show from New York added professionalism to the scene.

Frontier Girl Kathy Patten who reigned over the evening's events and Host Bernie Dallas mingled with the crowd and kept the evening's events run- ning smoothly.

Even the faculty rolled up their shirt sleeves and manned the crap tables for the benefit of the Campus Chest for which the event was sponsored.

S.U. Programming Is The Backbone

kJUCCESSFUL events seldom just happen. Behind the scenes of what may appear to be a casual, im- promptu party lie the planning and skill of a competent host.

Likewise behind the casual facade of the Student Union, the "university's living room," lie a number of competent hosts and hostesses.

Thursday night movies, Friday night dances, Sopho- more Banquets, and art shows occur as regularly as

clock work, but they don't just happen.

In keeping with University tradition the students plan the events, but the real hosts and hostess of the Union fill their positions on a forty-hour-a-week basis.

Anything that takes place on the campus that does not concern academic life is handled by Mr. Scott, Mr. Buck, Mr. Watts or Miss Alden through their offices on the Union mezzanine.

Concert Assn. Offers Musical Opportunities

J_-/IKE most "campus schools" the University is geographically alienated from the large cities of the state. Thus it is not possible for the students to take advantage of Symphony Hall and the Metropolitan Opera with any degree of convenience.

Due largely to the efforts of the Concert Association the University students are able to enjoy professional productions right on the campus.

The first production of the '63 season, an English translation of Puccini's Tosca, was presented in the Cage, as are all large scale productions. On September 30, however, the floor was still under repair and the audience found chairs set up on dirt rather than the usual hardwood basketball court.

Luckily, earlier productions in the series were small enough to be performed in Bartlett Auditorium, and by the time the Toronto Symphony arrived, the Cage floor had been completed.

The 1963-64 season featured the Schola Cantorum, Netherlands String Quartet, Toronto Symphony Or- chestra, Raymond Hansor and Leonard Seeber, New York Brass Quintet, Robert Joffrey Ballet and Green- wich Quartet.

Assassination Strikes Campus Emotional Blow

X WENTY-SIX days earlier he stood in the midst of students from both the University and Amherst College where he broke ground for the Robert Frost Memorial Library.

When word of the death of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy struck campus, all motion ceased and the wait began. Amid confused reports from Texas, young, high hopes rose and fell. Stu- dents wept unashamedly, and the University went into formal mourning.

All activities, social and academic, were sus- pended. And almost immediately, the student body left for a suddenly lengthened Thanksgiving holiday. Then followed the days of the state fu- neral, sharply interrupted on a Sunday by a sec- ond irrational act, the televised murder of the suspected assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald.

Only once before had the President been to the University, and that, in 1956, as a candidate for the United States Senate. But likely, a part of him will always remain, whether in the name of the new athletic stadium or in the fact that he lived when he lived, as he lived.

At Amherst, too, he walked amongst the people.

The flag of the United States was- immediately lowered to half staff when his death became known. The facade of Memorial Hall bearing the names of battles of two world wars and the names of men who died in battle, serves as an appropriate background.

The Twenty- second Of November

Grief, consternation, disbelief crossed the faces of students who gathered in the Student Union ballroom to wait and listen with the rest of the nation for final word.

A

new elective has been added to the University curriculum — Reserve Officers Training Corps.

This announcement brought about a series of changes in the previously man- datory system.

As had been expected, the total enroll- ment of the program dropped by nearly one half.

For the 938 men who elected to take the ROTC program two new innovations were added. One academic credit was given to the previously creditless course. Also added was the Army Flight Program which trains and qualifies selected seniors for their pilot's license.

Innovations also brought University women into the realm of the program when the Army assumed sponsorship of the Precisionettes while the Air Force in- troduced the Angel Flight.

The campus at large benefited by the change when Dickinson Hall was opened for academic classrooms.

Traditional Warmth of Continues Despite

X ADS come and go and so do some "traditions," but the Holiday Season at the University will always be the Holiday Season.

It's really not too different from the celebrations that we have in our own homes, but by virtue of the size of the University family, everything is big.

We'll always have the Trim-a-Limb Party in the Union, the Carol Sing, and Christmas Concerts. Mail boxes will continue to overflow with season's greeting, candles will appear in residence hall windows, and Christmas trees will appear everywhere, including over new construction sights. The men will loosen up their vocal chords to serenade the women's residences, or- ganizations will give parties for themselves and for chil- dren, and religious services will be held.

Chanukah will always have its traditional supper and program of religious readings and song. And Israeli dancing will continue to follow the program.

It's nothing new or novel. It's old fashioned tradi- tion. But, who wants it any other way?

Presents Norman Thomas Who Urges Revision of "Containment" Policy

I^PRAINED muscles, tired feet, and eye-strain were the common ailments of many University students following a speech delivered by the American Socialist Party Leader, Norman Thom- as. However, the students, the overflow of people making up the audience, were not complaining. Thomas's impressive lecture, sponsored by the Political Science Association, was received enthu- siastically by the capacity crowd, including those seatless victims who were content to line the back walls of the Student Union Ballroom.

Thomas aroused the student body with his

strong plea for a revision of foreign policy. Stress- ing the transformation that has taken place on the world scene since World War II, he stated, "In the old days there was only one uncle, Uncle Sam, and he could spank the boys when they got out of hand. Today there are two uncles," he added, "there is also Uncle Nikita." Mr. Thomas advocated, in shaping our foreign policy, a steady drive towards disarmament, aid to emerging na- tions, and disengagement from military commit- ments.

Marty Brockway Reigns Over Weekend

l)nOW was a problem. First because there wasn't any, then because there was too much.

Only a scant two inches covered the Pioneer Valley for days before Winter Carnival Weekend, and through early Saturday evening, not a crystal had fallen.

Snow sculptures were necessarily ruled out. Outdoor events were seriously curtailed, including an elaborate program of sleigh rides and dog-sled matches. But the scheduled fireworks flashed brilliantly Friday evening as the Winter Carnival Ball, highlight of the weekend, got under way in the Student Union ballroom. The Lester Lanin orchestra provided music.

Queen Marty Brockway, a petite sophomore received the crown of her office from the hands of Governor Endicott Peabody, who in turn honored the regal lady with a gubernatorial kiss. Four more lovely ladies, Anne Creedon, Pam Chace, Roxanne Giles and Diane Klein, assisted Queen Marty as members of her court.

Governor Peabody also got the chance to meet with the Commonwealth's four most famous TV personali- ties of the day, the UMass College Bowl team of Cap- tain Bill Landis, Mike Berrini, Dave Mathieson and Susan Tracy.

Carni theme that was to be represented in snow sculptures built by fraternities, sororities and dormito- ries was "All the World's a Stage" from Shakespeare's Mid-Summer Night's Dream in honor of the 400th an- niversary of the poet's birth.

Traditionally the junior class' most impressive pro- duction. Winter Carnival suffered at the whim of the elements. But the Class of '65 kept up with plans left unaffected by the weather in a valiant attempt to pro- vide Winter Carnival entertainment.

In the true tradition of the stage "the show went on" despite the lack of snow and a fickleness on the part of nature that no other Winter Carnival has had to over-

come.

Women's Dorms Down Sororities 3-0 In Hard Fought Powder Puff Game

c

'^AME Saturday afternoon and the Powder Puff hockey game faced off on the ice of the Campus Pond. A women's dormitory team bested a sorority squad 3-0 to take the games honors.

But the hockey game missed by an ice chip from becoming another casualty that weekend. Until a few days before the match, the pond was dry while work- men constructed a small flood control dam at the northern end of the pond.

Once the dam was completed, the pond was flooded and the question became one of whether the water would freeze. By Saturday an ice cover capable of sup- porting the combined weight of the Powder Puff teams was on the pond.

So the girls took to it with brooms and a soccer ball to play an approximation of the Canadian national game. What the teams lacked in ability was made up in comedy.

Fashion, As You Like It, Modeled For The Well-Dressed College Miss

A

fashion show, featuring University coeds as models, demonstrated the weekend wardrobe of the well dressed campus woman during the later part of Saturday afternoon.

Sportswear made the greatest hit as a brilliant array of ski parkas, ski pants and other togs for the skiing miss were modeled at Bowker auditorium.

Formal evening dress, casual knits for daytime and a

host of accessories were displayed for the campus miss. An added attraction to the fashion show was the appearance of the Winter Carnival Queen and her court dressed in Elizabethan period clothing to heighten the marked contrast with contemporary styles and to keep pace with the weekend's Shakespearean theme, "As You Like It."

Then Came The Snow . .

X ARTY-GOERS returning late Satur- day evening were the first to notice the long-looked-for, but at present unwanted snow.

The unexpected coastal storm left its mark and weekend visitors faced the prospect of being marooned in Amherst. The bonfire, scheduled to be lighted in the afternoon to start final festivities that included the concert appearance of the New Christy Minstrels, flared briefly and died.

Six-Week Odyssey Brings Back College Bowl, $10,500 And Team

A.

lT least six months before the first television ap- pearance of the University's College Bowl team, prepa- rations were underway to recruit and select team mem- bers.

Assistant professor of English Albert P. Madeira volunteered to act as coach and began the screening process.

Nearly 100 applicants went through the first round of written exams. By early Fall an alarm system of the type used on the nationwide show was being used in daily practice.

The team had been scheduled to make its first ap- pearance November 26, but the College Bowl program was canceled with all other network programs at the death of President Kennedy. UMass was rescheduled to January 26.

To fill the unexpected void, Coach Madeira arranged radio appearances for the team on WTTT and WMUA and kept weekly practice rounds. However, on January 13, Mr. Madeira died suddenly of a heart attack while shoveling snow.

The team went on the air Sunday, the 26th, without a coach but assisted by University News Editor Dan Melley and Ray Castelpoggi of the Office of Institu- tional studies.

A predominantly UMass audience saw the team beat the University of Dayton 150 to 125 at the NBC Pea- cock studio. The Student Senate had subsidized buses to carry rooters back and forth to New York City.

The following week UMass smashed Rollins College 310 to 150, and Dave Mathieson came down with acute appendicitis. Following a week off while NBC programed a special, the team, including Mathieson, whipped Iowa State 285 to 140. Then fell St. John's of New York 245 to 150, and the finale, a crushing blow over the University of Arizona, 360 to 35.

Returning to campus from New York with a State Police escort, the team was greeted by a clamoring throng of students, faculty and alumni. Later in the week they were received at a State House reception by Gov. Endicott Peabody and members of the Massachu- setts General Court.

Combined Efforts Of Fine Arts Offers

V_/ O O P E R A T I O N

among ten campus organi- zations, under auspices of the University's Fine Arts Council, resulted this year in a 20 program Fine Arts Festival held from March 4 through March 25, dedi- cated to the memory of President John F. Kennedy.

In previous years, week- end long Festivals were held on campus, originally under sponsorship of Mor- tarboard. The extensiveness of this year's program was a University first, one en- thusiastically received by the University community.

The Festival opened with a lecture by G. B. Harrison, noted Shakespearean schol- ar, in observance of the 400th anniversary of the birth of the great bard.

University Theatre con- tributed their production of Othello to the Festival.

A concert of electronic music by John Cage touched off a minor contro- versy in the campus com- munity about the auda- ciously different "music" Cage had presented.

A unique musical work- shop under direction of Dr. Elliott Schwartz presented works of composers from colleges and universities in the New England area.

The exciting contempo- rary style of the Robert JoflFrey Ballet Company was enthusiastically applauded by an audience of close to 3000, in the University's Cage.

Four art exhibitions were an integral component of the Festival.

The well-known Bein- horn Marionettes, noted for mysterious black and light creations and varied pro- gramming, drew a large number of youngsters from the surrounding area as well as a campus audience.

Musical performanaces were also handed in by fla- menco guitarist Ron Soe- dalter and by Evelyne and Bob Beers, who appeared in a concert using early American folk instruments.

University's "Tribute Of The Arts" High Point Of Festival

M

-AJOR event in an event laden Festival was the University's "Tribute of the Arts" to the late President John Kennedy. Featuring students and faculty as partic- ipants, the mid-day program drew an overflow audience of 1500 in the Student Union Ballroom.

Opening the solemn ceremonies, Frederick Ellert of the German department stressed the late President's commitment to the fine arts.

Several professors of the English department — Rob- ert Tucker, G. Stanley Koehler and Joseph Lang-

land — read original poems in memory of Kennedy.

Senior Edward O'Connor read one of Kennedy's fa- vorite poems, "The Gift Outright" by Robert Frost.

A dance, choreographed by Miss Georgia Reid of the physical education department, was performed by Miss Reid and students Elaine Baxter and Catherine Noel.

Doris Abramson of the speech department read from Shakespeare's works; the UMass Concert Band per- formed "Memorial," composed for the occasion by El- liott Schwartz of the music department.

In an explicit manner, he lectures a class in introductory chemistry.

F all the hierarchy of Academe, it is the teacher who has the power, by wit of his own abOity and intention, to most directly en- courage or discourage the student's desire for education and the extent of that education.

As a tribute to his ability to teach, Associate Professor of Chem- istry George M. Richason was chosen by his colleagues on the faculty to receive the second annual "Distinguished Teacher of the Year" award at the University's opening convocation in October.

A member of the UMass faculty since 1947, Prof. Richason graduated from the University in 1937, obtained his master's here, and did further work at Bowdoin College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Clark University.

He is also overseeing the $150,000 renovation of Goessmann Chemistry Laboratory under a National Science Foundation grant.

Pay Hike Puts University In National Running

X AY hikes at state universities do more than raise the faculty income.

National ratings showed that the UMass faculty pay raise this year put the University, at long last, on an equal footing with other universities in competing for the country's best teachers.

Besides granting a 10 per cent across-the-board pay hike to all state employees, the Massachusetts State Legislature authorized the Boards of Trus- tees of the state colleges and University to grant an additional increase not to exceed 10 percent of the total professional payroll.

As of February 1, the average salary for UMass faculty members was $9496, an increase of $1 196 in the average over the November, 1962 average of $8300.

Of the additional 10 per cent hike, adminis- tered on a graded scale and passed by the Board of Trustees, every faculty member got at least two per cent.

Commenting on the merit increases, President Lederle said, "We were woefully behind the na- tional average in salaries for teachers in the upper academic ranks. By concentrating our major ad- justments in the upper ranks, we have become fully competitive with other universities in the country at all levels. This means we are better able to keep top faculty members and to attract more outstanding teachers . . ."

The hike meant, for example, that full profes- sors, on a year-round basis, went from a mini- mum of $13,086 to a maximum of $16,822; full professors, on a ten-month basis, from a mini- mum of $ 1 1 ,773 to a maximum of $ 1 6,624.

Under state law, all professionals at UMass were placed on the State General Salary Schedule at the same time they received their pay raise.

UMass Professor -- Man of Many Faces

T.

HE University faculty comes in a variety of shapes and sizes.

In origin, according to most advanced degree, the UMass faculty is 59% eastern, 25% midwest- em, 3V2% foreign, 5% western, and 7'/2% southern. About 30% come from Massachusetts.

Of the over 650 faculty members at the Uni- versity, about half hold doctorates in a field of academic study.

The UMass academic community this past year held 288 doctor's degrees, 277 master's degrees, 83 bachelor's degrees, 7 first professional degrees.

Each of these 650 educators is something different to the people around him.

To some he is a researcher advancing the fron- tier of academic dogma; to some he is a publicist making a name for himself and, thus, for his insti- tution; for some he is a lecturer transcribing the complex material of his field into an elemental outline for the undergraduate. At his apex he is a compromise.

Four-College Cooperation In The Pioneer Valley

Joint Action Provides Variety Of

X OUR Colleges in the 10 mile radius of the Pioneer Valley interchange is one of many programs which endeavor to maintain the University as a "place of light, of liberty, and of learning."

The exchange course program among the academic neighbors of Amherst, Smith, Mount Holyoke and the University of Massachusetts oflfers advanced courses in a student's major which are not available at his home institution but which are vital to his complete education.

More than 300 undergraduates and graduates were involved in this program this past year. Since its inception in 1957, the program has grown rapidly, gaining the attention of the academic world.

Monthly meetings of joint committees from the four institutions discuss ideas, plans and problems. Co-ordinator is Stuart M. Stokes of Mount Holyoke College.

Z\.MONG programs availa- ble to the participants are: a joint astronomy program; the Massachusetts Review; a film center; a joint Ph.D. program; WFCR, an educational FM radio station; and the Hampshire Inter Library Center, housed at the University's Goodell library. This collection contains rarely used books which had been duplicated by the four colleges.

F special importance to government majors at the University is the cooperative Asian-African studies program, which is financed by the Ford Foundation.

Primary purpose of the program is to pool resources and facilities in this specialized field of the four partici- pating institutions.

A faculty interchange is also part of the program and many outside experts in individual programs come in for a semester.

Taking full advantage of inter-college inter-change is graduate student Henry Leavitt, a 1962 graduate of the University. He has been traveling the four college cir- cuit since his junior year.

The challenge of solving the problems of such exist- ence led him to choose government as his discipline and African studies as his minor.

Second semester of this year, for example, he en- rolled in two seminar classes at Smith, which were primarily discussions among students and professors.

Last year he was the only student in a geography of West Africa course at Mt. Holyoke.

One of three University graduate students actively participating in the Asian-African studies program, he is at present working on his M.A. thesis on the De- velopment of Neo-Destour of Tunisia.

Powers Lauds Lederle

For Administrative Ability

Tc

O the students at UMass, President John Lederle has often seemed a phantom figure.

But as the school's chief rep- resentative to the Commonwealth, and its elected administration, he's been a slamming success.

When Lederle arrived at UMass in 1960 from the Univer- sity of Michigan, he had behind him vast educative and admin- istrative experience.

Besides holding posts at Brown University and the Uni- versity of Michigan, he was a practicing attorney, a public administrator, and has served as legislative consultant to the United States Congress.

Working for the University in the world of politics and appropriations, John Lederle has been a prime force in getting UMass fiscal autonomy, a new capital outlay program, and a faculty pay hike.

"From the legislative view- point," said Massachusetts Senate President John Powers, "very little of this would have been possible were it not for Dr. Lederle's recognition of the Gen- eral Court's interests, rights and functions in this as in all state areas.

"We are truly appreciative of his understanding of our role, our problems and the relative importance of the University in the general scheme of things.

"He has truly initiated a new era . . ."

Woodside Resigns

As UMass Provost

V^-ONTINUAL flux and change in personnel seems to be a part of the life of any growing university — but it's always too bad when a good man leaves for greener pastures.

Former Provost Gilbert Woodside came to the University 27 years ago as an assistant professor of biology, was appointed Head of the Zoology Department in 1948.

He expanded offerings in zoology on both grad- uate and undergraduate levels and was instrumen- tal in building a successful program of pre-medi- cal studies.

He was named Dean of the Graduate School in 1950, became Acting Provost in January of 1961 and Provost in June. In this post, he served as the University's chief administrative officer for aca- demic affairs.

Woodside left UMass this year to become As- sistant to the Director for Scientific Program Planning and Development at the National Insti- tute of Child Health and Human Development in Bethesda, Maryland.

'MASS' man with the figures is Dr. Leo Redfern, Director of the University's Office of Institutional Studies, a three-year-old storage bin for data on higher education in general and UMass in particular.

Aiming at greater excellence in University academic programming, OIS gathers and analyzes information — published or unpublished, about UMass' growth, devel- opment, management and operation — including Mass Reviews and salary analyses.

OIS came into being partly to aid the University's administration in its planning and plan-substantiating. A clearinghouse of information about UMass was made necessary by the higher level and greater quantity of decisions demanded of officials at a rapidly expanding state university.

"We're here," says Dr. Redfern, "to assist the University community to maintain standards in a period that demands increased services, to cooperate with similar services throughout the country, exchanging data with them."

The Office also encourages and undertakes publications dealing with institutional progress, plans and future projections.

L

/EARNING at UMass isn't confined to the enrolled student body and the University Coordinating Office is one reason why.

Under the direction of Mr. Harold Durgin, the six- year old office brings some 22,000 persons "back to school" yearly for participation in conferences of an educational nature.

The Office originated as a means of further serving community and Commonwealth.

Planned as far as four years in advance, the 125 con- ferences that meet at UMass yearly include labor lead- ers, school secretaries and government officials. Once it is decided to hold a conference on the UMass campus, meals, lodging, meeting rooms and times are arranged by the Office.

Though averaging about 250 persons, some groups range in the thousands, and one, the summer 1963 American Institute of Biological Sciences conference, brought over 5000 persons to the campus from all over the world.

Conference Co-ordinator, Harold Durgin.

The Commonwealth And The Nation

y V HEN a student makes the honor list or a senator visits the campus, people find out about it because of the University News Office. The News Office releases news items about the University to over 3000 outlets monthly — these include radio stations, newspapers, television stations.

The Office this year reorganized into a triad to allow for further expansion. The Office of University Publications is headed up by Bill Deminoff — former News Editor; News Editor, in charge of getting news of UM to the press, is Dan Melley; an office in charge of funnelling news to radio and television was headed early in the year by Woodridge Brown.

Lanphear Retires After 42 Years As

Mrs. Polly Ball assists a student changing a course.

HERE was one letter waiting to be answered when he arrived to take the post of Registrar in 1918," a colleague of retired Registrar Marshall Lamphear said.

With well over 10,000 applications for admission to the University received this year, times have certainly changed.

A living legend to 16,000 alumni and 8,700 students, Lamphear retired this year after 42 years as University Reg- istrar, under six different presidents.

Indicative as an individual of the forces that have made the University grow he has been cited as "the campus's great- est wit', a storehouse for progressive knowledge about the University, a man of tremendous integrity.

In his years as chief admissions officer, Lamphear has seen the University grow from Massachusetts Agricultural College with fewer than 500 students to the present UMass complex.

Despite the pell-mell of innovation in admissions procedure at the University, including computer handling of much of the statistical material, Lamphear was noted for his personal approach to selection, interviewing many applicants himself.

Which may be indicative that a personal element is ever necessary to excellence, no matter what the complexity of the institution.

Applications For Admission

Leap 47% Over 1963

A.

.N astounding 47% in- crease in the number of applica- tions received this year over 1963 is one reason why admis- sions administration has been ex- panded.

With the retirement of Mars- hall Lamphear as Registrar, Dr. William D. Tunis was named Dean of Admissions and William Starkweather took over duties as Registrar.

Breakdown of responsibilities formerly handled from one office, puts Tunis in charge of appli- cants up to their final acceptance and Starkweather in charge of students until graduation.

In the decade since 1954 the number of applications and ac- ceptances at the University have tripled. Next year's freshman class will have 2600 members.

ITH an undergraduate enrollment of 6800 as of September, 1963, the University Placement and Financial Aid Services finds itself keeping pace with everyone else.

Primary functions of the office are vocational and financial guidance, including granting of loans and scholarships, assignment of part-time on- campus work, handling military and draft affairs, arranging interviews for seniors with over 350 employers each year, keeping myriad records and having a fund of information available on gradu- ate study, fellowships, assistantships and career work.

Some 817 undergraduates were awarded $280,000 in scholarships and $158,000 in loans through this office for the past school year.

In this year's freshman class alone, 270 stu- dents were awarded about $150,000 in loan and scholarship aid.

On the staff" in the Machmer Hall office are Director Robert Morrissey, Assistant Director David Lawrence, Women's Placement Officer Edith Antunes and Men's Placement Officer George Emery.

Sophomore pre-dent major, Andrew M. Hansen, here operates a drill press in Goessmann laboratory as part of his work-scholarship assignment.

lVAILABLE to upperclassmen, the new work-scholarship program allows students to per- form in such categories of their major fields as: faculty, lab, and research assistants; department and library worker.

Any student with a 2.5 cumulative average in need of financial assistance is eligible to apply. The Placement and Financial Aid Services at- tempts to match skills with work to be performed. A stipend of $200 for one semester of work is ofl:ered to 100 students; while 200 places are available in the $400 program of one full academ- ic year of work. Recipients are required to work an eight hour week.

The project not only provides monetary re- wards, but also stimulates interest in a major field.

Currently, well over 300 undergraduates are participating.

repository of men's knowledge, to serve men must be as alive and vital as the University itself.

Goodell Library serves UMass with a permanent staff of 53, a student and part- time staif of 65 and stacks with 280,000 titles.

At the rate of 700 books daily, the libe circulates about 203,000 books a year, exclusive of departmental circulation.

Reference, reserve, microfilm, duplicat- ing, periodical services are among those available to the UMass community at Goodell.

Librarian Montgomery reports a new addition planned for after 1966 will be located west of the present building, will include study areas, stacks for IV2 mil- lion volumes and graduate, honors work and special project facilities.

With an increase in appropriation, he adds, a 100% increase will bring to 45,000 the number of books added yearly.

The card catalogue eases location of books.

Some 700 books daily pass over the circulation desk.

Y offering a variety of thought and opinion for consumption, the University Honors Colloquia Pro- gram encourages independent thought by the student.

Instituted six years ago, the Colloquia operates as relaxed seminars, comprised of no more than a dozen students and two directors each. Grouped according to class, members are selected because of previous mem- bership, nominated by an instructor, or chosen because of cumulative average. The students — this year there were a dozen seniors and 130 underclassmen — meet in their groups one evening a week for discussion of their topic.

Each group is heterogeneously arranged with regard to the students' field of study; the directors are instruc- tors or administrators of different fields. This interde- partmental cooperation provides a maximum range of subjects.

Elana Yorke, Suzanne Gagne, Mr. Bernard Bussel of the math department and Allen Davis discuss individual values vs. soci- ety's values in a Freshman colloquia. 118

CoUoquia Stimulates

Thinking Man

kJEVERAL topics under debate this past year were: the status of America, with required readings including Brave New World and 1984; characteristics, trends, and values of contemporary society; philosophical con- siderations in higher education; and man in the next hundred years. Typical Junior Colloquia subjects were corruption in government; the American university; and human dilemmas in an age of science.

Challenging the intellect and providing opportunity for each student to speak up on and delve into abstract contemporary problems is the goal of the Honors Pro- gram.

Approximately 85% of the participants go on to graduate study.

Director of the University Honors Program which includes senior honors projects and the Colloquia, for 1963-64 was Dr. Leland Varley.

Phi Kappa Phi Honors 23 Scholars

JL^ounded in 1897, the national all-university scholastic honor society, Phi Kappa Phi, has two ruling purposes. One is the conviction that by recognizing and honor- ing those who have excelled in scholarship, other students may be inspired to work for a high standing. The other objective is the belief that scholarship is universal, not liinited. One of the highest scholastic honors at the University is an under- graduate's election to the society in his junior or senior year. Faculty and graduate students are also eligible for election.

In Pursuit Of The

Academic

A,

.LL of more than 6000 un- dergraduates at the University are students in one sense or an- other, whether they work at it or not.

Some work at diligently. They go to classes, even boring ones and even for professors who don't take attendance. They spend their evenings studying — in the libe or at the dorm. And at the end of four years, they grad- uate.

Some don't work at it. They spend their time in the dark abyss of extra-curriculars, or in the non-academic pursuit of wine and women.

For those who develop the fine art of "cram" to peak perfection, the game is not lost — and if they study the right things for enough exams, take enough "gut" courses (harder and harder to find these days), they will graduate.

Of course, for many, the goal was never possible. They study the wrong outline series, they try in vain to coordinate social and academic spheres, they get the wrong professors. They lag in the race or they fall out — they don't graduate.

But, in some way, they have all learned a lesson.

l^ NDER the direction of Mr. Ronald Steele, the new 66 member University Symphony Orchestra made its debut in December.

Steele, former associate conductor of the Michigan Youth Orchestra, gathered musicians from the student bodies of the University, Amherst, and Mt. Holyoke, as well as area residents. Steele joined the Music Depart- ment last fall, organizing the orchestra from an embry- onic string structure.

After three weeks spent in recruiting new members, the response was so great that rehearsals had to be moved from the small Bartlett Auditorium to Bowker.

Featured in the spring concert were soloists who won the concert auditions held on campus during the year.

Now a member of the Symphony Orchestra League, Inc., the orchestra plans to establish a scholarship fund for its members.

.ESEARCH at a university is like a barome- ter— it's a good sign of what's to come.

Augmented research in basic biochemistry by faculty and students in the University's Zoology Department is indicative of the expanding facilities, more intensive learning and resultant training available to students in science education at UMass.

Under a $232,503 U.S. Public Health Service grant. Dr. Donald Fairbairn, Commonwealth Head of the Uni- versity's Zoology Department, is heading up research into the biochemistry of disease-causing animal para- sites.

The research being done at Morrill Science Center on the University campus is not directly concerned with prevention or cure of parasitic diseases; it is rather aimed at uncovering the life processes of the parasites which cause such diseases as hookworm, malaria, as- cariasis.

Professor Honigberg supervises tissue culture transfer made by Miss Vera King, who is working toward her Ph.D. in parasitology.

Describing himself as a biochemist with a deep inter- est in zoology, Fairbairn has been conducting work on animal parasites for ten years. Before arriving at UMass last year, he served as professor of parasitology at McGill University, Canada.

A training program for parasitologists now underway will provide basic instruction and opportunity for thesis research for graduates.

Dr. Bronislaw Honigberg, Dr. William Nutting, and Dr. Larry S. Roberts, each a specialist in his field, are working with Dr. Fairbairn on plans for a collaborative program with the Faculty of Medicine at Columbia. This program would provide intensive training in public health for graduate and post doctoral students.

Learning Process Continues

New Business Administration Building

Tc

O be opened for summer session, the new Business Administration building will provide extensive opportu- nities and facilities for research, conferences, and serv- ice. To cope with the increasing number of undergrad- uate and graduate students in Business, there will be staff expansion and further enrichment of curriculum.

The Business School is one of the four in New Eng- land accredited for graduate study. Plans are now in progress for the institution of a doctoral program.

Conducted by the School of Business in cooperation with The Experiment in International Living, is the Junior Executive Training Program. During the sum-

mer, up to 40 foreign students attend six weeks of instruction in six basic management fields. This inten- sive short program introduces the participants to mod- ern American business management and promotes the broad objective of international understanding.

With financial support from the administration and state legislature. Dean Himy B. Kirchen and Assistant Dean John Conlon worked with the architect on design and internal facilities.

The building is another example of progress at the University.

When completed, the amphitheatre will contain five swivel chairs per bench desk, blackboards are brown; there are projector facilities and a loudspeaker system.

We rose from the banks. For the evening star Our casual wishes and shadowy groves Welled with a tougher grace. To the barn We rocked with the great maternal cows And milked them down with our gentlest hands. Next morning took us like an old surprise Fallen, with old corruption in our arms We praised the animal urgencies of love, Our long obedience. The mind of man. Boyishly wandering out of the eye of God, Seemed natural to our wills. Our bruised bones Took on this sweet admission. Proud in the sun, Calloused and cocked, wicked and wise and young. We ran, three golden idols, back to chores. Shouldered the wheel of summer, and journeyed on.

Professor Joseph Langland--

J_^ANGLAND'S poems belong where they are, and where they are turns out to belong to poetry, thanks to him," said Archi- bald MacLeish of UMass professor and American poet, Joe Lang- land.

It may not be extravagant to say that one of the University's outstanding credits is a faculty member respected by his colleagues as one of the nation's leading poets and by his students as an extremely fine teacher.

A teacher of poetry and creative writing in the department of English, he is found by students an "encouraging teacher," one who "urges his students to come to him for help in their work."

His most recent work, The Wheel of Summer, was published in May of 1963; In January, 1964, Langland received for it the Melville Cane Award from the Poetry Society of America for the outstanding book of poems published in 1963.

His first book of poetry. The Green Town, was published in 1956 and in 1962, his work was included in Poets Choice, an anthology in which 103 noted contemporary poets chose their favorite poem for inclusion.

His poems have appeared in several anthologies, and have been recorded for Folkways Records and for the Archives of the Li- brary of Congress.

Langland came to UMass in 1959 from the University of Wyo- ming, and last year he represented UMass on ABC television's "Meet the Professor" series.

A.

lT the University, he is active also as poetry editor of the Massachusetts Review, one of the top literary magazines in the country.

Although a four-college enterprise, it has offices in Memorial Hall on the University campus and draws funds primarily from the University, with Mount Holy- oke, Smith, and Amherst contributing.

Edited by John Hicks of the UMass English depart- ment, it draws material from all over the world, receiv- ing articles at the rate of over a dozen a day.

The March 1964 Review was issued in honor of the late President John Kennedy, and included a special supplement on twentieth-century Irish literature.

The proof is in the pudding and the excellence of a magazine is well attributed by the contents between its covers — the March issue included previously unpub- Hshed letters of Yeats, Synge, Shaw; poems by Thomas Kinsella, Richard Murphy, John Hewitt; articles by Robin Skelton, Denis Johnston and others.

Dave Foster and Professor Denton Harris examine part of the vacuum system for purification of material used in growing crystals.

UMass School of Basic Research,

J J SSENTIAL to the growth of a university are two

things — experimentation to extend the boundaries of knowledge and a constant emphasis on and encourage- ment of the individual student.

Thus, student participation in basic research in the School of Engineering has the effect of advancement on two fronts.

Basic research into the behavior of materials started two years ago under a faculty research grant — is headed up by Assistant Professor Denton Harris of the department of civil engineering.

Presently carried out as an undergraduate research project, it may be elected by senior engineering majors with a 3.0 cumulative average or higher. Participants this year were Leon Heselton and Dave Foster.

One important result — the student develops a feeling for experimental research.

Leon Heselton works with the frame holding the crystal growing furnace, which produce samples used in testing.

Professor Harris checks high speed oscilloscope, which visu- ally shows changes in a varying current. On the right is a device for impacting the sample.

Engineering Stimulates Accelerated Learning

X IRST step toward the research objective is preparation of a sample of the metal to be tested. For example, a crystal of aluminum may be grown to a particular size in a precisely controlled furnace over a period of three or four weeks.

The sample is then subjected to a force pulse to produce imperfection in the crystal — such action perhaps produced by firing a high caliber rifle shell at the sample.

Metallographic analysis of the sample crystal follows to determine the extent and nature of imperfections produced. The information is analyzed toward the ultimate objective of formulating a theory of generation of imper- fections.

Typically accelerated learning in the University's five accredited engineer- ing departments — Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical, Industrial — means the engineering student graduates with 145 credits of course work (25 above the University minimum for graduation), incorporating essentially five years of work into four years.

Recently instituted was a voluntary Engineering Freshman Orientation program, given before the opening of the fall semester, to provide entering engineering freshmen with fundamental knowledge needed to keep pace in their rapidly advancing field.

N terms of student enrollment, the Col- lege of Agriculture is second only to the College of Arts and Sciences.

Students in the four-year instruction program major in agronomy, dairy and animal science, agricultural and food eco- nomics, agricultural engineering, entom- ology and plant pathology.

Other major fields not commonly as- sociated with "production" agriculture are food science and technology, forestry and wildlife management, horticulture, landscape architecture and poultry science.

Agriculture— Progress, Research, Public Service, Awarded University's First Endowed Chair

kJER VICES of the College of Agriculture extend beyond the classrooms on the University campus. Mas- sachusetts citizens are affected through three other main divisions of scientific research, Extension and public service activities.

Research is, for the most part, carried out at the Agricultural Experiment Station with facilities at the Field Station in Waltham (specializing in horticultural crops) and at the Wareham Cranberry Station. On- campus research is carried on by the Institute of Agri- cultural and Industrial Microbiology and by the Shade Tree Laboratory of the department of entomology and plant pathology.

Another task of the College of Agriculture is contin- uing education through the Cooperative Extension Service, established in 1914.

Public service activities are another facet of the Col- lege of Agriculture. These include administering statu- tory regulations pertaining to the sale of feeds, fertili- zers, seeds and the use of milk testing glassware.

These duties have been assigned by the Massachu- setts General Court to the Experiment Station, which is equipped with the necessary equipment and personnel.

The University's first endowed chair, the Nicholas Appert Endowment Chair, was instituted this year and awarded to Dr. Frederic J. Francis of the food technol- ogy department in the School of Agriculture.

The Chair was financed by the Glass Containers Manufacturing Institute following the department's 25 ycEirs of research on food packaging, and awarded Dr. Francis for his continuing research and far-reaching progress in this field.

Nursing Students Back On Campus

N

EWLY instituted this year by the University's School of Nursing is a program allowing stu- ents of nursing to live on campus, thus permitting them a broadened academic scope through greater choice of electives.

Instruction and correlated clinical nursing practice is given at the Wesson Memorial Hospital by the nursing faculty of the University.

Instruction is initiated in the sophomore year when, under supervision, the student is placed in charge of a patient's care. As juniors, three days a week at the Springfield Hospital entails practical training in child and adult care.

Seniors are afforded four days a week at the hospital; their studies consisting of pediatrics, maternal and public health nursing.

Thus, their first two years at the University comprises an educational foundation through courses in the biological, behavioral and social sciences as well as humanities.

Opportunities offered to the future nurses are demonstrated in their last two years when specialized training in all branches is given.

Graduates of the School, started in 1954, are eligible for the licensing examination for reg- istration in any state.

Since then, the Univer- sity of New Mexico and the University of South Florida have joined the Program, sponsored at UMass by the School of Education.

Education Exchange Program Attacks Offers New Views Of Old Topics

EXCHANGE students pay only the usual tuition rates of their own school. Eligible for participation is any junior education major with a 2.5 cumulative aver- age. Applicants are rated competitively. Plans are un- derway to include students in all majors.

Dr. Robert L. Byrne, Jr., of the UMass School of Education, present coordinator, stated the program's main value lies in the broadening of educational hori- zons. These participants come into contact with teach- ing problems they might never encounter at their home institution. Dr. Byrne is also responsible for room ac- commodations and social and academic adjustments.

First semester, 14 University students attended the three other colleges, and seven students from the Uni- versity of New Mexico studied here. Second semester, six University coeds trained at the University of New

Mexico, and UMass played host to 20 visiting partici- pants.

With the wholehearted cooperation of the admini- stration, including Dean of Men and Women, Registrar, Treasurer's office, and Housing, the program has been successful.

The University of Maine will be included in the ex- changes next semester and it is hoped that the program will eventually extend across the nation. This will facili- tate the selection of a member school whose studies could greatly complement the student's major.

The program serves to broaden the participant's views and provide a more complete education via travel, adjustment, and perhaps a different approach to a particular subject.

At the Education Complex, University of Mexico, Albuquer- que, are UMass exchange students Anne MacGregor, Ellen MacGregor. Joan Congdon, Kathleen Manning.

Highlighting His University Education--

HEN a student draws together threads of edu- cation to produce a pattern of his own, four years of academic learning may be termed successful.

Sam Gorvine is combining interpretive and creative aspects of his English major in a literary work of his own, a short novel tentatively entitled The Darkness of the White Door.

The novel began as a short story for a creative writ- ing course in his junior year and, according to Sam, "It just got out of hand."

Rights to the book have been bought by the Hough- ton-Mifflin Publishing Company of Boston. Gorvine plans to complete the rough draft by mid-summer, 1964.

Theme of the novel is provided by the main charac- ter, who wanders through several countries, discovering in the course of his journey many concepts which man has learned about himself in the past few decades.

In Spring, 1963, Sam won national recognition from the Atlantic Monthly through their Annual Creative Writing Contest for Students.

His story, "Die With Your Pants On," was accorded fifth place in the contest and "Joe" received a certificate of merit. Both stories appeared in Caesura, the Univer- sity's student literary magazine.

After graduation, Sam hopes to initiate a career in publishing.

The Student Initiates His Own Pattern

In testing the materials, Mark has been measuring the maximum current flow per unityelectrode surface at a fixed voltage.

Rothstein Investigates Fuel Cell Conversion

_L OR his senior honors project, chemical engineering major Mark Rothstein made an investigative study of the hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell.

The fuel cell, a unit designed to convert chemical energy directly into electrical energy, is of considerable importance today because of such space programs as Project Apollo. In the cell, hydrogen and oxygen com- bine electrochemically to form H-O with a release of chemical energy.

Studies show that the rate of energy conversion in the fuel cell proceeds at a rather slow rate. Mark pro- posed making measurements to throw light on how this rate may be speeded up — aiming at discovering a cata- lyst to accelerate this rate.

If a suitable catalyst was uncovered, the power of fuel cells could be used in space cells to provide a type of battery that never needed recharging, and perhaps ultimately a cheaper means of electricity.

As a sophomore, Mark made preliminary laboratory studies on this problem, continuing them this year on the suggestion of his advisor, Dr. H. C. Duus.

His early studies, Mark says, indicate the slow rate of conversion is due to diflficulty in breaking down a perhydroxyl ion which is supposed to form at the oxy- gen electrode.

Serving as editorial editor of Engineering Journal and program director for the American Institute of Engineers, he plans to attend graduate school next year.

The cell consists essentially of a membrane soaked with an electrolytic solution, which separates two nickel screens that form the positive and negative electrodes.

Case Study

Of Aged

By Sociology Senior

Vc

OLUNTARY Associations among the aged was the subject of an exploratory study carried out by sociology major Dorothy Barnes for her Senior Honors Project.

Specifically, she made a case study of the Amherst Golden Age Club to deter- mine the manifest and latent functions of such an organization and the social char- acteristics of those persons who partici- pate in it.

The topic was suggested to her, she said, by Dr. Clarence King of the sociol- ogy department.

The method of study involved con- structing an interview schedule and ad- ministering it to each member of the club.

Participant observation was exercised by her attendance at the Golden Age meetings and functions.

Library research was conducted in areas of gerontology and social organiza- tion.

Starting the project with no set ideas, she tested members' social class, affilia- tions past and present.

In her paper, she combined informa- tion gathered through observation and re- search to construct a general picture of the Club and its members, specifically, and the area of aged associations in gen- eral.

Along with the other 80 or more sen- iors involved in honors work, she re- ceived three credits for each semester of work completed on The Honors Project.

Library research is a necessary part of the worlc.

Water Problems

T.

wo public health seniors are in- volved in honors projects of public inter- est.

"The Principles and Practices in Flori- dation of Public Water Supply" is the topic chosen by Richard Gladstone. Cor- relating and analyzing data from texts and industry, the major part of his thesis concerns the practical aspects of fluorida- tion— the advantages of materials and methods presently used.

It attempts to counteract opposition in the general public by clarifying the effect of fluoridating their local water supply.

To determine a better method than the presently accepted coliform standard as an index of pollution in swimming pool water, Richard Rose is devoting his pro- ject to favor the "cocci" standard over the coliform standard.

Taking weekly samples from the two University pools and Smith College pool, he collects information to compare the two standards.

In addition, Richard is correlating the effects of each halide in different concen- trations upon the water.

Predicating his thesis, to be published upon completion, on the relatively fewer number of coliforms than cocci present in swimming pool water, Richard hopes to prove the significance of the use of cocci index.

Undefeated- -First Since '89

• Opponents Get Only 12 Points

• Bowl Bids Turned Down

T.

HE Redmen recorded the most successful football season in the history of the University.

While playing their first un- defeated season since 1889, when they played only two games, the Redmen ground out 3,060 yards for 146 first downs and a total of 265 points and de- fensively allowed only 475 yards, 85 first downs and 12 points.

This record earned them the promise of a Tangerine Bowl Bid, a solid bid from the Liberty Bowl, and undisputed possession of the Yankee Conference Cham- pionship.

Head Coach Vic Fusia was named major New England Coach of the year; U.P.I, rated the team first in New England small colleges and third in the Nation.

A. P. rated the Fusiamen as fourth in the nation in the small college class.

Booters End Rugged Season

I

NEXPERIENCED and hampered by injuries, the UMass booters completed the '63 season with a 2-7-1 record.

The team began the season by bowing to Army 4-1. The first half of the game ended scoreless, but the second half saw a fresh Army team score 4 goals with the lone UMass goal coming as a penalty boot by Dick Leete. UMass gained an early advantage in the Coast Guard game, but was unable to capitalize on it and Coast Guard edged the Redmen 2-1.

Williams exhibited a well-drilled, ex- perienced team that shut out the booters 2-0. Play was rough on both sides in the

Trinity game, adding several names to the Redmen's casualty list and making the Baigg's Men the underdogs once again as the game ended 5-9.

At the end of the Connecticut game UMass was trounced 9-4 — and six of the 1 1 starters were injured. Spirit and guts carried the booters to a 3-3 tie in the W.P.I, game. Enthused, the team rallied to override Rhode Island 4-0 and Tufts 5-4.

Unfortunately, a fighting spirit wasn't enough to compensate for the team's lack of depth and they ended the season losing to Clark 1-0 and to Amherst 2-0.

BASKETBALL '63-'64 was undoubtedly one of the most productive in University history. The season ush- ered in a new coach and a new type of basketball.

Even though gifted with the re- turn of the starting five from the previous year, most experts gave Massachusetts little hope of improving

over last year's performance. Few expected what ac- tually happened.

Massachusetts, averaging 83.8 points a ballgame, fin- ished among the top 20 in the country in scoring, and broke the school record of 76.6 set in '54-'55. They scored 833 field goals to surpass the old mark of 710. They also had a better shooting average, .427, then the previous high of .422. Twice during the season they

broke the record for the most points scored in a single game, throwing in 115 against St. Peters earlier in the season and then hitting 120 points against Vermont. Not only team but individual records were set. Six- seven Chuck O'Rourke had 308 rebounds in the season to pass the old mark set by Captain Rodger Twitchell at 292.

High scorers for the season were Kenny Palm, Charlie Glew, Pete Hurd, Bob Lee and Bob Edmons- mon. Captain Glew completed his career fifth in Uni- versity history in assists, fourth in total points and second in goal scoring. He undoubtedly would have shattered each of these records had he not been injured in the Colgate conflict with one third of the season left to play. Hat tricks were submitted by Glew, Palm and Lee.

Dick Phillips developed into an excellent defenseman in his third year of varsity play. Junior goalie Archer "Skip" Bowen also performed extremely well allowing 60 goals but stopping 9 times that many.

N it's 1963-64 season the varsity indoor track team compiled a 2-1 record in dual meets and a fourth place finish in the Yan Con Championships. Pacing the Red- men throughout the season was senior Bob "Digger" Brouillet, the greatest distance runner ever seen at UMass. Bob scored 16 points in the dual meets as well as winning both the mile and 2 mile at the Yan Cons. He also took a fourth in the IC4A's 2 mile while setting a school record of 9 : 1 1 . 1 .

Sophomore John Mederios was top point man for the Redmen as he scored 49 points while competing in the high and low hurdles, broad jump and dash. The only loss for UMass was at the hands of a powerful North- eastern squad which triumphed 79-34. Mederios scored

19 of the Redmen's points. UMass defeated Tufts 75- 36 and UConn 77-36. Jim Wrynn earned a third place position in the Yan Cons and John Harrington set school records in both the 60 yard high hurdles and 60 yard low hurdles. Dave Sadowsky did not compete because of an injury and Fred Lewis hampered by a lack of facilities never got near the 13' record he set as a sophomore.

The mile relay team of Doug Sloane, Gene Colburn, Craig Erickson, and Jim Collins ran 3:30.3 to record the second fastest mile relay run indoors at UMass in five years. With the help of this year's undefeated fresh- men team, UMass looks forward to an even better season next year.

HE UMass Nine won their four final games to wind up the season with a 10-7 record.

Brilliant performances from the mound were exhib- ited by Lew Pia (4-2) and Dick Wilson (4-4). The ex- cellent support afforded by Tony Williams and Corky Schmoyer was justly rewarded with major league con- tracts from the Orioles and the Red Sox respectively.

Although Coach Lorden is losing about one-half of the starting line-up, the depth yielded by this year's squad and upcoming freshmen should amply plug these holes and insure another successful season.

'RAWING a bead on their 1964 season, the Uni- versity Rifle Team was optimistic. They squeezed, fired, scored a bullseye, and finished undefeated in Yankee Conference competition for their second straight year. In their entire season Co-Captains Wells and Nataup- sky found it necessary to call for slight adjustments only after meets with Citadel and the Naval Academy. All other competitors became victims in their show- downs with the UMass gunmen. The deadeyes are con- sidered a major threat in the national rifle association sectional meet.

J /XPANSION has been the watchword for the in- tramural program. The influx of student participation has been absorbed by an increase in the number of sports available for competition and increased facilities. The roster of events range from ping pong to football including tennis, basketball, bowling, badminton, vol- leyball, wrestling, softball, lacrosse, and track. The Ste- ven Davis award is given annually to the intramural

champions.

The major facility expansion was the dedication of Boyden gymnasium. The new gym, resembling an air- plane hangar, boasts class rooms, a pool, squash courts, basketball courts, steam rooms, added locker room fa- cilities and weight training equipment, all readily avail- able.

Members are selected in the fall through competitive try-outs.

There are opportunities throughout the year to at- tend guest lectures and demonstrations in various mod- ern dancing techniques at the University and at other institutions.

With Miss Georgia Reid as faculty director, their tenth annual spring concert was presented in April. Aiming for variety, the program included ballet and jazz.

The highlight of the year is the National Collegiate Sport Parachuting meet held at Orange, Mass. which attracts participants from the entire nation. Berths on the squad are earned through intraclub competition.

With the expanding interest in this "spaceage sport" at the University, the prospects for this team appear brighter than ever.

Rushees and sisters get acquainted.

.ORE than 500 University women set out on a Sunday in October to find a home.

Sorority round robins had kicked off. The girls were taken in groups to each of the 10 sororities on cam- pus for a brief 1 5 minute meeting with the sisters.

Round robins served the purpose of an appetizer, an introduction to the houses and sisters on an ob- jective level to allow the potential pledges to get acquainted with potential sisters.

There followed one week of open houses that al- lowed girls who had registered at round robins the opportunity to investigate their choices more closely. During this time open parties introduced the social life of the sorority girl.

Theme parties narrowed the group of aspirants and the closed date followed. Once the girls had received bids, pledging was about to begin.

Over 160 girls received the small white en- velope that invited them to pledge the house of their choice.

In true feminine style emotion burst loose in a cacaphony of shouts, shrieks and squeals that announced the acceptance of a new Pi Phi, or Kappa, or Iota Gam.

The official act of pledging followed the same evening, and with sisters and pledges in the ranks, sorority houses took over the Student Union's Hatch for a dizzy display of delight. For the first time the new pledges acted with the sisters as a unit, as a house.

In the Hatch they sang house songs, clambered on to tables and led cheers, and otherwise re- leased the thrilling rush of emotion held up for this moment.

Panhellenic Consolidates Governing Units

YY ITH growth and expansion comes the ne- cessity for new organizations. Last year saw the formation of two new sorority organizations: So- rority Presidents' Council and Junior Panhellenic Council.

With the formation of new organizations comes the necessity of coordination with existing or- ganizations. Thus Sorority Presidents' Council and Junior Penhellenic Council were incorpo- rated within the existing Panhellenic Council's Constitution.

All three organizations retain their identity, but this union will permit sorority resources to be used more efficiently and will enable the or- ganizations to work with a minimum of overlap- ping.

The Panhellenic Council is the organization of all UMass Greek-letter sororities. Each College

having two or more national sororities has a local Panhellenic Association to which each so- rority sends one junior and one senior.

The aim of Panhellenic is to foster a spirit of friendliness between sororities and to encourage active cooperative interest in the development of all college women. The Council regulates rushing by making rules which are approved by the sororities.

Sorority Presidents' Council provides a forum for the discussion of common individual and so- cial problems; to coordinate sororities on the ex- ecutive level, and to make recommendations and statements of policy on pertinent issues.

Junior Panhellenic Council is comprised of pledges who promote friendliness and spirit among pledges and to prepare a training ground for the Panhellenic Council.

-LONG with a new house. Delta Mu of Alpha Chi Omega has recently insti- tuted new scholarship and pledge pro- grams. Alpha Chi's study plan, which has just been in effect for a year and a half, is very successful. Every sister falling be- low a 2.5 average is required to put in a certain amount of library study hours a week. All pledges are included in this program. The new pledge program cen- ters around the 22 Pearl Plan. Before ini- tiation each pledge must fill her lyre with twenty-two pearls; each pearl is given for certain things, such as attending a cul- tural event or getting an A on an exam. Alpha Chi participates in all the Pan- hellenic events. They placed second in the Declamation. Social Calendar (besides the exchanges with fraternities and a Christmas party for underprivileged chil- dren) is climaxed by the annual Pledge Formal, held at Wiggins Tavern every Spring.

In May of 1962 Iota Gamma Upsilon estab- lished itself as the tenth and newest sorority on campus. Realizing the need for more sororities on a rapidly growing campus and hoping to join the Greek world, five freshmen women undertook the task of forming a local sorority, to be the only one on the University campus.

The effects of nearly a year's independent or- ganization are beginning to yield the bounty of its investment. What they have learned about budgets, contracts, house decorating and a multitude of other areas could never be gleaned from textbooks. What they have from learning together cannot be calculated.

lAMMA Eta chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta was founded at the University of Massachusetts February 6, 1943 from the local sorority of Phi Zeta. The Massachusetts chapter has changed considerably since its first days.

More important, though, are the aspects of the chapter that have not changed. Twenty years have found them still generating warm friendships that will last a lifetime, still sending donations from their projects to The Institute of Logopedics at Wichita, Kansas; still tutoring their pledges in ac- ademic and social knowledge. 1963 found them particularly happy when one of the sisters took first place in the sorority declamation competition and several of seniors were appointed to Who's Who.

However, overriding such fleeting honors, is the deep glow of pride and happiness felt by members of Kappa Alpha Theta and the deep hope that Gamma Eta will not change its essen- tial good qualities in the years to come.

HE change of address from Lincoln Avenue to Nutting Avenue has certainly brought some changes into the lives of the sisters of Kappa Kappa Gamma. But the passage of time, however lengthy, cannot erase the memories of the little "ginger bread" house and the last senior class to live there, or the fun of living amidst the dust, plastering and hammering as the new house was completed.

The old memories are mixed with the new-house meetings sitting on barrels and ladders, to "We need a fourth for bridge!"

We aim to make Kappa Kappa Gamma an integral part of the college community, stressing high scholarship and philanthropic ac- tivities. Under the guidance of our housemother Mrs. Donald Alder- man, and our house officers we feel that, especially this year, our aims were accomplished.

Lambda Delta Phi Retires Panhellenic Scholarship Tray

A A^

Every aspect of college life is touched by Greeks.

I

N June, 1961, Lambda Delta Phi, with Alpha Chapter at UMass., became the first national nondiscriminatory sorority. As stated in the constitution, they continue to strive for "living democracy through friendship."

Scholarship doesn't falter at Lambda Phi; for with the scholarship program, the sisters combined efforts to win the scholarship tray for the third year in succession.

The various activities in which the sisters participate, such as religious groups, Operetta Guild, the Junior and Senior Executive Boards and Collegian. Also, turning to the serious side we have undertaken such projects as knitting mittens and scarves for under- privileged children.

During the past year, Lambda Delta Phi has continued to grow and expand in membership, adding chapters on the West Coast; and Alpha chapter announces that its most cherished dream — a new house — will soon be realized.

Bev Botelho Takes Dec, Theta Sing

G

IROWTH of the University's sorority com- munity rendered it impractical tliis year to con- tinue coordinating the Sorority Sing and Decla- mation Competitions.

Thus, separate programs were held for the two Panhellenic Council sponsored events this year. The dramatization was held in October and the sing was presented in early March, dedicated to the late President Kennedy.

Performances at the October competition, in which representatives of the campus' ten sorori- ties competed for recognition, were rated on dramatic interpretation, choice of selection, visual and auditory attributes of performers.

Copping first place was Beverly Botelho of Kappa Alpha Theta; second honors went to Al- pha Chi Omega's Deena Ferrigno; Frances Cas- tine of Iota Gamma Upsilon and Lynette Ar- casdi of Sigma Kappa tied for third place.

A program comprised of folk melodies, jazz tunes and traditional classics lent sparkling vari- ety to the Spring competition.

Kappa Alpha Theta again took honors, taking first place for their renditions of "Turn Ye to Me" and "I Got Rhythm."

Chi Omega's performance of "Elijab Rock" and "Lili Marlene" was awarded second place.

"Days of Wine and Roses" and "Tzena," merited the sisters of Sigma Sigma Sigma third place ribbons.

Song performances are rated on the basis of group appearance, choice of number, tone qual- ity and balance, expression. The performances were, as always, directed by members of the sororities.

Declamation winner Beverly Botelho is congratulated by Dec- lamation Chairman. Barbara Farrell.

Winner of the Sorority Sing was Kappa Alpha Theta.

Third place honors went to Sigma Sigma Sigma.

The sisters are proud of the fact that Pi Phi was the first national fraternity for women and that through their efforts, the fraternity is able to maintain and operate a school for rural children in Gatlinburg, Tenn. The growth of the national frater- nity attests to the continued strength of its appeal to college women.

It was a busy year for the Pi Phi's, for they had and will continue to have much to live up to. They have always repre- sented in campus activities, and this year was no exception.

J. HROUGHOUT the past nineteen years, Psi sisters have achieved much for the house, and on the University campus.

To make sure that this tradition continues, SDT entered this year's formal rush period with vigor, and came out with a wonderful, if mischievous, pledge class.

Homecoming was about the most hectic weekend of the year. The grads arrived just in time to watch the big, 'fuchsia' elephant getting scalped by overhanging branches in the float parade.

The sisters were very happy to hear that Mrs. Mary Troxell of the Home Economics School will be our new advisor. The sisters spent an enjoyable evening discussing University affairs with President and Mrs. Lederle, and discussing European travel with the Bracketts.

Although the year's activities were fun and worthwhile, the most valuable experience for the sisters was getting to know each other a little better.

Sigma Kappa Wins The Coveted First Place In Homecoming Parade

K

S,

The results of a house effort — a float.

'IGMA Kappa Sorority was founded at Colby College, Waterville, Maine in 1874. Since then, it has grown in size to a force of 100 chapters scat- tered all over the United States with an active and alumnae membership of over 36,000.

Sigma Kappa has enjoyed a very successful year, including first prize in the Homecoming Float Parade, a tie for third place in the Sorority Declamation and a rewarding rush season.

Central to the chapter's future plans for the 1963-64 school year is its pledge program which includes Mother-Daughter activities. Pledge Party, Pledge Picnic, all culminating in Initiation and Initiation Banquet. Looking even more to the future, they are beginning to dream and plan for the eventual building of larger and more modern living quarters for Sigma Kappa.

Sigma Sigma Sigma Makes The Mc Cune House Their Home

A XaVING been installed as Gamma Iota Chapter in March, 1963, it was an excited group of plans for decorating the McCune house which was to be theirs for the year. A group project made light work of cleaning and painting the rest of the house. A tea was held in honor of the housemother, Mrs. Alice Drake.

Housing facilities for 24 members were pro- vided at the chapter house. Dining accommoda- tions were such that all of sisters and pledges were able to eat at the house. The sisters also enjoyed several exchange suppers during the year. Scholastically, the Sigma's placed second among the sororities. Also, rush is not something to be overlooked this year. How easy it was to decorate for and hold parties in a house of their own. The new pledges make a fine addition and insure a strong start on next year. The Tri Sigmas were also active participants in all campus events. Plans are also being formulated for a new house which will hopefully be occupied by 1965.

Much work — fleeting glance — first prize.

One Dies, One Born For IFC

L

-FC under President Steve Gray moved decisively to cope with problems that have long plagued the Greek system at the University.

To bolster ranks thinned to a little over 20 percent of the campus population, a first semester rush period was authorized with no rush rules imposed. With the new program went an emphasis on scholastic achievement aimed at keeping promising rushees at the necessary academic level for pledging, thus cutting the rate of pledge attrition.

The feeling of IFC was that pressure on the freshman prospect would be lessened, and both frosh and brothers could get to know each other on a freer basis.

About the same time, IFC witnessed the passing of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, for 29 years a fraternity at UMass, when the SAE charter, under directions from SAE national was revoked.

Known as "The Home of Champions" here, SAE housed some of the Uni- versity's finest athletes up to the very day of death.

Toward the end of the first semester, however, IFC sired a new member of the family, Sammy, known officially as Sigma Alpha Mu.

"Sammy" Colonizes At UMass

In line with the Interfraternity Council's planned integration of new fraternities at the University, seven undergraduates this year obtained colonization rights with Sigma Alpha Mu national fraternity.

The IFC granted colonization rights to Kenneth Berk, Leslie Eisler, Stephen Gordon, Joel Hartstone, Barry Rosenberg, Thomas Winstanley and Richard Zlete on January 8, 1964.

Four days later the executive secretary of Sigma Alpha Mu was on campus to pledge the colony.

The founding brothers had first joined in October, 1963, as the Sigma Alpha club, with hopes of affiliating with SAM national. After a series of meetings with the University administration, the IFC, and the national officers of the frater- nity, the petition for colonization was presented.

The colony expects to receive its official charter and become a fully authorzied chapter of Sammy during the 1964-65 school year. The brotherhood also has hopes of living in their own house as of September, 1964.

Sigma Alpha Mu National was founded at the City College of New York in 1909, and has continued to grow until it is now among the country's top ten fraternities. Among its famous brothers are Allan Sherman of recording fame, and Charles Goren, international bridge authority.

Although the UMass chapter will be only the second in New England (the other is at Massachusetts Institute of Technology), it will bring to 54, the number of chapters in the country.

N December, 1933, Alpha Epsilon Pi was founded on the Univer- sity of Massachusetts campus. Since that time, the brothers of AEPi have compiled an enviable record on campus.

The brothers held a Christmas Party for underprivileged children, enjoyed many exchange parties and weelcend parties, and held their annual pledge formal and Mother's Day Banquet in the spring.

As usual, AEPi, was well represented on campus with brothers on the staffs of the Collegian and Index and with others on Adelphia, Ceasura, WMUA, University Theater, and Student Union Commit- tees. Phi Chapter is especially proud of having won the IPC award for scholarship last year.

In short, Phi Chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity has come a long way from the original handful of students to a large fraternity constantly inthe spotlight as a source of campus leaders.

Traditional Christmas figure spreads traditional joy.

MASSACHUStnS

X OR the fall semester, Alpha Sig was the house without a house, but a house was rented for second semester. The new quarter of a million dollar house will be located on the same lot at 394 North Pleasant Street. The social area will cover more square feet than did the entire first level of the old house. Living quarters for 46 men will be located in a separate wing to minimize study disturbances.

The absence of a house did not, however, impair the social pro- gram. Many off-campus parties were held. Alpha Sig also extends appreciation to Theta Chi, Phi Mu Delta, Tau Epsilon Phi, and Zeta Nu who invited them to share their social areas.

Alpha Sigma Phi, the oldest national on campus, was founded in 1845 at Yale University. In 1913 the charter for Gamma Chapter was granted to UMass.

Alpha Tau Gamma

A Two Year Fraternity A

.Z^\.LPHA Tau Gamma was founded on January 19, 1920 as a two-year social fraternity, with membership open to all Stockbridge School of Agriculture students of the University of Massachusetts.

The brothers of ATG have made their presence felt by filling many worthy positions within the activities of the Stockbridge School. Members fill many important positions in sports, student government, and Stoso, the Stockbridge Service Organization.

Our social season was studded with parties and ex- change suppers, and climaxed with the annual pledge formal held in March.

This year we have a new housemother, Mrs. Lillian Whitsitt and we all hope that she will be a permanent resident for many years to come.

As we go our separate ways from the University of Massachusetts and Alpha Tau Gamma into the vast and rapidly progressing world, we will always remem- ber, our brothers, our standards, our ideals, our motto, and our Alma Mater.

Building a prize-winning float is joint endeavor.

HIS year has been one of the most successful for the Beta Kappa Phi's. The brothers returned from sum- mer recess to find that they had purchased the adjacent property on PhilHps St. This addition greatly increased facilities for 'living in' and is a major step in the future building program.

Physical improvements made in the house include further renovations of our now famous Gobie Lounge, and another Annual Lawn Planting Party.

We were proud to present our largest Alumni turnout on Homecoming Weekend with a First Place in float competition.

From an academic viewpoint they have initiated a program of having faculty guests visit the house. The hope is that we can strengthen the student-teacher rela- tionship and acquaint the faculty and the brothers with the feeling and problems that each have.

Kappa Sigma's Ranks Include Two-Third Varsity Majority

VJaMMA Delta Chapter of Kappa Sigma, one of the University's largest fraternities is currently enjoying its 61st year on campus.

This year, in the field of athletics, approximately two- thirds of the house participates in varsity sports. Kappa Sigs made up the bulk of this year's Yan-Con cham- pionship football team. Seven Kappa Sigs earned start- ing positions on the Varsity football team. Kappa Sigs also captained the hockey, basketball, baseball, la- crosse, and tennis teams.

Guest dinners were initiated at the house this year. The purpose of this being to establish a closer relation- ship between the fraternity and the University.

Community service is also important at Kappa Sig. This year two brothers coached the Amherst Pee Wee hockey team.

This summer the Chapter house, now 24 years old, will be completely renovated.

At Kappa Sig being first is a tradition.

Varsity sports participants are pioud of aliiliation.

Last year, the fiftieth anniversary of Gamma Zeta, one of the goals of the founders and house purchasers was realized; the burning of our mortgage. Present at this ceremony was Murray D. Lincoln, most distinguished alumnus, and, at present, president of CARE.

On campus, Lambda Chi's are active in most Recog- nized Student Organizations such as Maroon Keys (President), Sigma Delta Psi (President), Eta Kappa Nu and Tau Beta Pi. Our future plans include the construction of a new brick house to blend with the increased building program of the University. Thus, as in the past.

H

The folk music craze is reflected in living-room.

lU Zeta Chapter of Phi Mu Deha was estab- lished on this campus in October of 1953. At present there are eleven chapters located in New England and the northeastern part of the country. As the University expands and builds, so must the fraternity system on this campus if it hopes to maintain the service it has given to the campus in previous years. In keeping with this policy. Phi Mu Delta is proud to announce that plans are underway to build a new and much larger house within the next year and a half. By doing so, they will increase the capacity of the fraternity thereby allowing more brothers the opportunity to live in the fraternity house. They will be in keeping with the standards of the University in enlarging to meet the growing demands of students. They are very pleased that they can reflect the growth of the University.

Phi Sigma Delta Places Second In Fraternity Scholarship

kJlNCE 1957, when Phi Sigma Delta was founded on this campus as a national fraternity, they have seen nothing but progress. In six short years we have tripled our membership to 5 1 . Un- der the able leadership of our president, Robert Keene, 1964 has been a banner year. Academi- cally they placed second in scholarship with a solid 2.3 cumulative average.

Even our housemother, Mrs. Dorothy Pyle, found success in 1963 when her collie. Snake, completed her championship.

Under the early IPC rushing program were added 17 new pledges. These pledges have proven to be quite a spirited and united group, traveling to New England chapters.

Financially the house is supporting itself soundly and the brotherhood has made plans with national for the construction of a new house within three years.

FMA Expands Greeks' Dollar for

X. RATERNITY Managers Asscx:iation is the coop- erative buying association for UMass fraternities and sororities. FMA is headed by a joint student-faculty Board of Directors.

Fraternities send two representatives to the annual or special meetings of the House of Delegates. The Board of Directors approves contracts of the fraternity suppliers.

Food, house supplies, physical maintenance equip- ment and fuel are purchased on the cooperative plan, using the Greeks' combined buying volume to purchase goods at -a much lower cost than the retail market could provide.

The FMA is operated by Mr. George Rodgers, Fra- ternity Manager. Mr. Rodgers has established numer- ous varied services in the FMA in addition to central buying. Billing systems, which are especially designed for this campus, a central collection agency for student payments, financial advice to chapter treasurers, menu

planning information, references and recommendations for cooks and housemothers, advice on the completion of state and local tax forms, and information on the establishment and availability of house corporations and new or remodeled housing are available through the fraternity manager.

The success of FMA on this campus has been noted on college campuses across the nation. Most campuses have seen the benefits that may be derived from the cooperative buying system, and UMass has become the model for these systems.

Mr. Rodgers has been called to advise fraternity men and their advisers in the formation of similar organiza- tions.

At the National Interfraternity Conference meeting held recently, Mr. Rodgers was asked to outline plans for several schools. He was invited to other campuses to direct the initiation of cooperative buying.

JL HI Sigma Kappa, founded in 1873 at the University of Massachusetts, still remains as the only Alpha Chapter on campus. Steeped in the tradition of its founders, the chapter excels in the cardinal principles on which it was founded.

The chapter is a part of one of the nation's largest national fraternities with 73 chapters across the country.

Phi Sigma Kappa pledges have the cherished opportunity to view college life as well as frater- nity life from the best possible perspective and this life gives them that needed boost to attain the academic achievement that they desire.

The fraternity chapter will boast of its achieve- ments during the year, but its real advancement lies in the opportunity it gives to the entering freshman to acquaint himself with the ever pres- ent social aspects of real life and the opportunity to see for himself who and what he is.

Q.T.V. Has Building Fund Program Well Underway

Q

T.V. is the oldest Latin local fraternity in the country, founded on this campus on May 12, 1869. It is also the first fraternity to be estab- lished on this campus, and a plaque on South College commemorates its founding.

O.T.V.'s most outstanding attribute is the di- versity of personalities and interests among the brethren, while still maintaining a close feeling of brotherhood.

Due to the growing needs of the fraternity a building fund has been created for a new house. Directed by both alumni and active members, the present plan calls for the new building to be built on the present site.

Add all things together: the heritage and tradi- tion of the house, the diversity of the brethren and you have it, Q.T.V., a closely knit group of men living together in the true spirit of fraternal broth- erhood.

HE Mass Alpha Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon is now in its fifty- second year on campus, and is very happy to have a new house- mother, Mrs. Chapel.

Again this year as in the past the Sig Ep football team was able to take first place in its league. The basketball team which won the IPC championship last year, is looking forward to a repeat performance this year.

Of the many social events during the year, truly the Christmas party for the retarded patients of Northampton State Hospital was one of the most enjoyable and rewarding.

AU Pi Chapter of Tau Epsilon Phi was founded on this campus in 1938. Our new structure enables us to feed all, and house most of the brotherhood. The national fraternity has 68 chapters which are distributed throughout Canada and the continental United States from coast to coast and border to border.

The house as a unit is also active on campus. We hope to improve our standing this year by again placing in athletic competition, and also by having our pledges achieve a high scholastic average, being aided by an accelerated study program.

Socially, thus far, this year has been very successful, having ex- change parties with other fraternities and sororities. Everyone en- joyed the Christmas Party, which together with the sisters of Chi Omega, we sponsored for local orphan children. We anxiously view the rest of the year with scholastic, social and athletic success in mind.

A chariot . . . symbol of past and present Greek life , . .

/AST year was a triumphant one for TKE. First place finishes in the Homecoming Float Parade, Greek Weekend, Softball and swimming, plus a second in the IFC Sing, and a third place in the Winter Carni Snow Sculpture added to a first place finish in over-all IFC competition. With the championship trophy secured, the enthusiasm of the brothers overflowed. Al- though expectations of returning to a new house this year were abruptly ended when minor problems delayed the proposed construction, the brotherhood showed its usual fine spirit in repairing and redecorating the existing structure. Thus, 401 North Pleasant retained the familiar gray house on the hill — a house which saw another fine year in social, academic and competitive pursuits. As always, Tekes were found active in the Student Senate, WMUA, Collegian, Cheerleaders, Band, ROTC, varsity basketball, football, gymnastics and class activities.

X HETA Chi Fraternity, founded nationally at Norwich Uni- versity in 1856, was established on the cainpus of the Univer- sity of Massachusetts in 1911 and has occupied its present structure on North Pleasant Street since 1935.

Always among the leaders on cpmpus, in 1951 Theta Chi introduced a new idea to the University fraternity system, that of a resident hostess, or housemother. At that time, Mrs. Mary C. Doering, or Molly as she was known to the brothers, became the first fraternity resident hostess for the growing University.

Early in 1964, Mrs. Doering passed away, and with her death the campus community, the fraternity system, and especially Theta Chi lost a truly close friend.

Her loss is immeasurable, but so too are the benefits gained from having known her. Her unselfish devotion to Theta Chap- ter of Theta Chi is a virtue more worthy of emulation, and as the brothers try to do so, the memory of Molly Doering will always be with the brothers of Theta Chi.

Zeta Nu Considers "Progress" To Be A Keyword For Group

z

N

T.

Except for the dinner hour . . . always a card game.

HE story of Zeta Nu has been one of devel- opment. Born in 1961, she has since grown into a leading house on campus. In September, 1962, after a long, hard battle, the Brothers of Zeta Nu were able to acquire a house that fulfilled all the needs of a fraternity. Since then the keyword at ZN has been progress.

Dedicated 'to augment the existing fellowship among members . . . regardless of race, creed or color,' ZN has become a fraternity of widely di- versified interests which become compatible in the fraternal atmosphere.

Since its founding on the campus less than two years ago, Zeta Nu has reason to be proud of its leadership and accomplishments. Zeta Nu was founded on high ideals and we will continue to uphold these ideals in all phases of fraternal life.

IFC Initiates First Semester

Greeks adopted first semester rushing on a trial basis. It proved successful and has been accepted as standard rush period.

Rushing As Aid To Freshmen Pledges

Brothers at Phi Sigma Kappa greet would-be pledges. Brothers found rush period a grind.

_rOR the academic year, 1963-64, the Interfrater- nity Council instituted an early rushing program.

The program was on an experimental basis this year but success warranted its continued practice, and the IFC has adopted the early Fall as the permanent date for formal rushing.

The system was adopted for many reasons. In past, rushing was held in the Spring semester so that fresh- men could establish a minimum grade point average in their first semester. Under the new system, the IFC felt that freshmen grades could be favorably improved if the incoming freshmen, as pledges, could receive guid- ance from upperclassmen in the houses.

The fraternity group of 50 or 60 men, it was felt, could give more personal attention to the freshmen than could be provided in the larger dormitory group.

Fraternity presidents, and the sophomore and junior IFC representatives formed plans to strengthen the big brother-little brother systems in individual houses, to further provide personal attention for freshmen.

Study Hall Requirements

I

N conjunction with first semester rushing, the IFC established minimum study hall requirements for all pledges for the 1963-1964 academic year.

Supervised study halls were required by each house for all pledges. The fraternities used rooms in Machmer Hall made available by the administration, or held the study sessions in the house, in the study hall or big brother-little brother systems. The IFC scholarship chairman and his committee regularly reported to the IFC and made suggestions to the several houses that could improve the study halls.

Some of the houses merely augmented existing study programs, while others established their first formal study programs this year. The pledge class averages in the fraternities reflect the value of these study halls.

The system now has more members than ever before. The minimum average requirement for pledging was not applied to freshmen this year. However, the mini- mum requirement was applied to initiation for freshmen.

Many of the houses established requirements far above the IFC minimums. The success of these houses was higher than those fraternities following only mini- mum requirements, and the all-house average was in- creased accordingly.

For the next year, the IFC, through the scholarship committee, is providing member fraternities with sug- gested study hall plans which can be applied to the specific fraternity.

The success of the study hall program has, it is felt, made all the fraternities aware of the benefits which a well planned scholarship program can provide and the fraternities have taken the responsibility individually.

It is expected that the new emphasis on academic achievement in the fraternity system will provide an even higher all-fraternity average, especially among freshmen pledges.

Boost House Averages, Aids Pledges

Brothers of QTV use Machmer Hall facilities donated by the University for study purposes.

Rooms of brothers still get a work-out as upperclassmen know better their study needs.

IFC

IFC goal is 400 pints of blood renewed annually for all in need.

I

FC has established a blood bank at the Cooley Dick- inson hospital, Northampton, through donations from members of the UMass fraternities.

The goal is to have 400 pints of blood, on a yearly renewable rotation, on reserve.

The blood is donated in the name of the IFC rather than the name of the donor. While most blood bank plans insure the donor and his immediate family for a year, the blood donated by the fraternity system will be available to all through any IFC member.

The bank was established especially for University students, faculty, staff and employees and their fami- lies, and the town of Amherst. IFC felt that the blood should always be on hand, for those people who gave to the Campus Blood drive, as well as those who were unable to give, thus alleviating the costly replacement of blood.

The rotational plan was adopted to insure an ade- quate supply of blood constantly on hand.

252

Rolls Up Sleeves For Blood Donations

Brothers of Phi Sigma Kappa were first to donate to new program.

When plan goes to t'lili operation, Greeks will give weekly.

Blood will he made available to any at University or the town.
