WELCOME HOME
“Coming home is wonderful” say
the Blue Cross Blue Shield ads. It is
indeed and it can apply to much more
than coming home from the hospital
after a n accident or illness. It is more
aptly applied to returning to your
Alma Mater after a few years of
absence. It is wonderful to see the
changes that have taken place. We
hope that they are, mostly at least,
f o r the better. It is wonderful to see
friends of former years and to reminisce about the “good old days” spent
on the campus. It is wonderful t o be
brought up-to-date on the life happenings and events of school mates
who a r e now out in the school of
life where Dr. Experience holds
class. It is wonderful too for those
of us who have remained on the
campus to have you “come home.” It
is a thrill just to have an opportunity to say hello, to have the
privilege of a few minutes to visit
and exchange greetings and information. Yes, “coming home is wonderful” and Alumni Day is just around
the corner.
There are no new buildings since
last Alumni Day but there is one on
the drawing boards. The campus itself hasn’t changed much in the year
except for the completion of the
enlargement of the library through
the conversion of the lower floor from
dining room to library. This new
Krannert Room is a very excellent
addition. You will want to see the
IC archives room, the seminar room,
the reading laboratory and all the
other added facilities. For those of
you who are teachers or interested in
the teaching profession it will be
thrilling to learn from the Education
Department what it has been doing
with the new portable television
equipment which the Jordan Foundation has provided for us.
But much more than facilities or
even academics, Alumni Day is people.
Very wonderful people. People you
know, people you s h o u l d get
acquainted with, people who have
much in common because of common
experiences, goals, ideals and purposes. This is why “coming home is
wonderful.” We will t r y to have the
halls waxed, the grass cut, the hedges
trimmed, Hanna Avenue open and we
will be looking for all of you on
June 1.

ICC Rings May Be
Purchased
Indiana Central College has recently signed an agreement with
Josten’s Inc. of Owatonna, Minnesota
to provide the official Indiana Central College ring. This announcement
is of particular interest to alumni
who may still desire to purchase a
college ring. The company has agreed
to put the year of graduation and
the degree on the ring at no extra
charge.
The Alumni Association was represented in the discussions through
interest expressed to Alumni Board
member Richard Reasoner. Reasoner
met with college officials t o determine what arrangements could be
made for interested graduates.
The ring will be available in three
price ranges for men and two for
women. A display has been set up
in the college book store, however
brochures describing the rings are
available through the Alumni office
upon request. The Alumni Association is happy to announce this added
service to our graduates.

Roll Call Report
A recent item in the Wall Street
Journal noted that alumni funds in
many schools are running f a r ahead
of expectations. Officials are finding
that the average gift is substantially
larger than last year and that a
greater number of alumni are responding t o the funds. Why? No one
knows for sure, but analysts credit a
greater awareness of the needs plus
the wave of students about to hit as
factors behind the increasing generosity.
Rich Reasoner, Alumni Roll Call
Chairman, reports that I.C.C. alumni
are being more generous but he is
concerned with the number that have
yet t o respond this year. "We have
high hopes of reaching our goal, but
it will depend upon some positive reaction during the final two months,"
he stated. The 1967-68response is running about one month ahead of last
year's. With the campaign due to end
on June 30, 1968, there is plenty of
time t o achieve the $36,000 goal the
alumni committee set for the Association.
A most encouraging sign of alumni
support is the number of new alumni
Fellows. With about one-fourth of
the year remaining, we have already
surpassed the number of Fellows enrolled during all of last year. Dr. C.
W. Dill, Alumni Fellows Chairman,
listed the following additional names
since the last issue of the Alumni
News :
Ralph and Catheryn Lausch
Merrill and Lois Hoban
Roy and Alice Black
Kenneth and Hallie Sidebottom
William and Wilma Scharbrough
William and Eileen Morrett
Carl and Nellie Hauswald
There is still much work to be done
before the final day arrives and the
annual giving report is prepared. If
you have not sent your check to Alumni Roll Call this year, do so today.
As individuals we can do much for
our Alma Mater and today's students
if we each will do something. The
need is there and the time is now.
The theme is Progress Toward Excellence and 1.c.C.'~ continued progress depends on our support. Every
dollar is important; so send your
check today.
It Doesn't Seem Possible
It doesn't seem possible that we
are already planning for Alumni Day
1968. Yet your announcement and
reservation information should soon
be reaching your mail box. I hope
that you will make every effort toward spending June 1 on the campus
at Indiana Central.
During the past year we have accomplished several things which it
will be a pleasure t o report to you
a t our annual meeting. I think that
Illinois President Speaker a t
Graduation
(Continued from Page 1)
Dr. Henry taught English a t Penn
State, was director of liberal arts
at Battle Creek College, was assistant
superintendent for higher education
in the Michigan State Department of
Public Instruction, was executive vice
president and then president of Wayne
State University, and executive vice
chancellor of New York University
before assuming the Illinois presidency.

you will be proud of the progress of
the college and the progressive support given by the Alumni Association.
Yet, there's always the haunting
feeling that there is so much more
that could and should be done. I have
a great deal of pride in Indiana Central and what we have accomplished.
But I always wish that I had more
time to offer to my Alma Mater. I
know from talking with many of you
that you feel the same way too. How
many times do you and I miss the
chance to provide a service to ICC
and our fellow alumni?
For example: When we move, do
we notify the Alumni Office? When
we change jobs or receive a promotion, do we notify the Alumni Office?
When we have children, do we notify
the Alumni Office? When we think
about the needs of today's students,
do we send a check to Alumni Roll
Call? When we receive a n honor, or
an advanced degree, do we tell the
Alumni Office? None of these things
takes much time or effort; but they
are so often overlooked, and this creates a lot of extra work in the office.
We all have many opportunities to
talk with pride about our college. We
talk with friends, neighbors, business
associates, prospective students, potential donors and many others. I
hope you will never pass up the opportunity to tell others about the tremendous growth and progress underway at our Alma Mater.
If you haven't seen the exciting
changes on our campus, better plan
a trip. Why not be here for Alumni
Day when you can see both the campus and former classmates? We are
looking for the biggest Alumni Day
in history on June 1, 1968, and I hope
that each of you can be a p a r t of it.
Robert L. Theil, President,
ICC Alumni Association.

Beasley Announces For
Top School Job
James R. Beasley X37 of Odon,
Republican nominee in 1964 for superintendent of public instruction, has
announced his candidacy for the same
office at the GOP state convention on
June 18 in Indianapolis.
Richard D. Wells of Valparaiso is
the present incumbent and has also
announced his bid for reelection.
Beasley said he is not fighting Wells
but believes “my qualifications are
better.” Former Daviess County superintendent of schools, Beasley says
he does not see any need for a special
legislative session to bail out financially troubled school units, as Wells
has recommended.

Brinkley Lectures At
Indiana Central
David Brinkley, NBC news correspondent, spoke at Indiana Central
College on Saturday, April 20. His
lecture, the closing event on this
season's Artist Series, was heard in
Ransburg Auditorium at 8:30 p.m.
Brinkley has been a news reporter
and commentator with the National
Broadcasting Co. since 1943. He began his journalistic career with the
Wilmington (N.C.) Star-News in
1938-41, and then was with the United
Press in 1941-43. He was born in
Wilmington in 1920.
He began working NBC's Washington's newsroom, and since 1956 he
has been teamed with Chet Huntley
on the five-nights-a-week HuntleyBrinkley Report. Brinkley continues
to be based in the nation's capital and
Huntley is in New York.
Brinkley is bemused by such incidents as the time he was covering
a 1964 political campaign in Oregon
and he attracted more attention than
the primary candidate he was covering. He insists he is a news reporter
and not a television personality.
He is tall and lean-6 feet 2 inches
and 170 pounds-and
has brown
hair and blue eyes. He lives in Chevy
Chase, Maryland, with his wife and
their three sons.
In his career with NBC News he
has won many broadcasting honors.

News From
Syracuse University
In the average American home,
television is watched just over six
hours a day, or more than 40 hours
a week, Dr. John R. Rider writes in
his new book “The Student Journalist and Broadcasting.”
Rider, an associate professor in the
television and radio department of
Syracuse University, said his book
should be of special interest to the
high school student. It is a text in the
Student Journalist Guide Series, he
said. The series covers every phase of
journalism.
Rider wrote: “Television broadcasting is only 20 years old, and radio
is less than 50 years old. Yet, no
communication device in history can
equal their impact on the world.” He
quotes the Roper study which reported t h a t television has become the
source of news for the majority of
the people, and that where there was
some conflict in the truth of a statement or situation, most people turn
to television f o r the answer. Newspapers were second and radio third.
The subject of broadcasting is
examined from many different points
of view, from history to job opportunities. The book gives samples of
educational radio programming and
has a glossary of radio and TV
terms.
The book is profusely illustrated
with photographs taken in the studios of Syracuse television station
WSYR.

Die Kamniermusiker (the chamber
musicians) of Zurich, Switzerland,
are each from a different country and
background, but they have been playing together since 1960.
The first half of the concert at
Indiana Central was Die Kammermusiker’s performance of Suite in D
Major for Strings and Continuo by
J.A. Baentz, Violin Concerto in E
Major by J. S. Bach, and Don Quixote
Suite by G.P. Telemann. After the
intermission the chamber group accompanied the Riverside Singers in

ICC Baseball
This year’s Indiana Central baseball
team is full of pleasant surprises for
Coach Bill Bright. With the return
of juniors John Swank and Tim Wilson the Hounds expected to have good
pitching again this season, but the
freshman pitchers have given the
staff unexpected depth. Bill Smock,
Jim Hedges, Charley Elliott, and
Mickey Thomason are all freshmen
who have a t least one victory to their
credit and are led by Thomason who
has pitched two shutouts.
The other eight starters in the lineup are all hitting over .250 to give
Central more hitting balance than
usual. Third baseman John Wirtz is
leading all hitters with a .440 batting
average.
Central won four games in a row
to even their record at 6-6.This included a n HCC record of 1-1.
The early seasons was highlighted
by a spring tour to Georgia over the
Easter vacation. After the Hounds
slow start, i t was on this trip they
began t o hit consistently. Probably
the happiest moment on the trip was
when IC downed Georgia Tech 3-2.
With the bulk of the conference
schedule still ahead Coach Bright and
the team have high hopes that they
can win the HCC race and earn a
berth in the NAIA Play-offs.
Eighteen Build Telescopes
Eighteen persons responded to a
non-credit class in building a telescope
under the direction of Professor
William Gommel. The group began
on February 29, 1968, with the grinding of lenses for six inch telescopes.
Enrollees include I.C. students and
faculty members, high school students
and adults from the community.
Successful Wrestling
Coaches
Sites Authors
Critical Book
Three Indiana Central alumni were
represented in the Indiana state high
school wrestling tournament in February. Coach Lou Hurrle ’60 had a
wrestler from his Cathedral High
School team finish fourth. Coach Cleo
Moore ’64 had a state champion at
165 lbs. from his Indianapolis Wood
High School team.
Paul Sites ’55, is the author of
LEE HARVEY OSWALD AND THE
AMERICAN DREAM, published by
the Pageant Press, Inc., New York
City.
Sites’ analysis of Lee Oswald’s life
points to the failure of his society
t o involve him as a useful member,
its failure to give him a goal. He
never became a part of the American
dream. Had he, in his constant, restless search, found his purpose in life,
the assassination of a president
might have been averted.
Paul Sites, Ph.D., received his
bachelor’s degree cum laude from Indiana Central in 1955. He went on
to obtain his master’s degree in 1956
and his doctorate in 1960 from Purdue University.
He is now Associate Professor of
Sociology at Kent State University
at Kent, Ohio, where he lives with
his wife, Goldie Margaret, and their
three children. Previously he was Assistant Professor of Sociology at
Baldwin-Wallace College, Berea, Ohio,
and prior t o that he was Assistant
to the Dean of the College of Arts
and Science at Purdue University. In
1956-57 he was Instructor in Sociology at Indiana Central.
Coach A1 Morgan ’59 of Franklin
Central High School was runner-up
to state champ Elkhart. Morgan’s
team compiled 23 points on the
strength of one champ in 138 lb. class,
a runner-up at 103 lbs. and a third
place in the 120 lb. class.
Morgan’s champion, Dale Barnard,
received the outstanding participant
award for the state meet. Barnard
was second in the state a s a sophomore, won the title as a junior, and
repeated as a senior.
