ALUMNI TIMES A PUBLICATION FOR ALUMNI, PARENTS AND FRIENDS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Vol. 2, No. 3 Photo by Kim Hoeveleir AUTUMN—Two days before the start of this year’s fall term, a Pitt alum-nus was helping his freshman daughter move into her new room in the Towers Dormi- tones. ‘Seeing the confusion about him, with cars and people jammed into every legal and illegal space in sight, he muttered, “This place didn't seem this crowded when I went here.” '- He was right—it wasn't so crowded, regardless of what year he was referring to. This fall, the University enrolled more than 31,000 students—the highest enrollment in it's history. More than 27,000 of these will be studying in Oakland, with the balance enrolled at the four regional campuses in Bradford, Titusville, Greensburg and johns- town. As one indication of the changes Pitt has undergone since becoming state—related in 1965, it’s noteworthy that in that year Pitt enrolled just 17,796 students, according to records in the Registrar's Office. Types of Students 1 Types of students who are studying at Pitt have also changed, with the most notable demographic switch in the income level of the families from which today’s students come. Last year, students who came from a home with less than a $10,000 annual income constituted 53 percent of the student body. Compare that with just 41 per- cent of the student body from that income bracket in 1965. Reason for the change, of course, is the partial tuition subsidization the Com- monwealth gives to Pitt students whose families legally qualify as Pennsylvania residents. Because of that subsidy, the number of students from Pennsylvania has increased markedly in the student body. In 1966, 81 percent of Pitt’s students were from Pennsylvania; last year, the number of Pennsylvanians hit 89 percent. Of course, the ultimate goal of the University is education, and the students earning degrees at Pitt have increased even more rapidly than student enrollments. Last year, nearly 4,800 students were awarded degrees, compared with just 2,500 students in 1965. New Ideas—New Approaches But students and graduates aren't the only facets of the University to undergo change in recent years. Pitt has established a national and international reputation as an innovative educational institutional—one that is not afraid to experiment with new approaches and new ideas to meet the changing needs of society. Pitt is con- stantly adapting its activities to meet the manpower needs of the region and the state. All 15 schools of the University have recently added, and are" constantly reviewing, new programs and courses to meet educational, political and social demands. One example of this adaption is the Graduate School of Public and Interna- tional Affairs, which provides advanced training for government officials and other professionals in five key-areas. And the School of Education is initiating new programs to cover the special needs of urban schools, and at the same time it is studying implementation of other vital programs. (Continued on Page 2, Column 1) Pittsburgh, Pa. October, l970 I6 Pages Tuition Increase Goes Into Effect ButState Subsidy Still Required Increased tuition rates went into effect at the University with the beginning of the fall term. Most Pennsylvania students now pay $425 a term; a $70 increase over the spring term. Medical and dental medical students now pay $510 per term; an increase of $155 over the spring term. In a letter to the students, Chancellor Wesley W. Posvar explained that: “These increases are made with greatest reluctance, but they are necessitated by the budgetary situation in Harrisburg. The latest guidance provided by the Governor, the State Department of Education, and legislative leaders of both parties indicates that, regardless of how the budgetary situation may later im- prove, increases of this order are needed at this time.” As the normal academic year is two terms, total tuition for most students goes up from $710 to a new annual rate of $850, an increase of about 20 percent. For full-time students in medicine and dentistry, there will be about a 40 percent increase in annual charges. That means student doctors and dentists who are Penn- sylvania residents will now pay $1,020 a year for their education at Pitt. The larger increase reflects the higher costs of these programs. Subsidy Required Even with these increases, much of the true cost of education for Pennsylvania residents is still subsidized by the Commonwealth. For out-of-state students, the regular tuition has been raised $150, to $980 a term in all schools except Medicine and Dental Medicine, where the tuition will be raised $320, to $1,200 a term. Comparable increases also went into effect for part-time students. whose tuition is calculated on a per-credit rather than a per-term basis. Per-credit charges for Pennsylvania undergraduates go up from $25 to a new rate of $30. Graduate students from.Pennsylvania in all schools except Medicine and Dental Medicine, who are currently paying $30 a credit, will pay $38 a credit this fall. In medicine and dentistry, where the present rate for state residents also is $30 a credit, the new rate will be $46 a credit. . Out-of-state part-time students, who paid $58 a credit at the under-graduate level, $72 a credit for graduate programs, and $77 a credit in Medicine and Dental Medi- cine _now pay $70, $90, and $110 a credit respectively. Appropriations Uncertain In his letter to students, Chancellor Posvar said: “As you may have heard, the state—related universities of Pennsylvania and other activities funded by the Commonwealth General Assembly are operating on interim appropriations for the first eight months of 1970-71. This means that we shall not know until spring 1971 what will be the total of the University's appropriation for the fiscal year. “The University has asked the General Assembly for a 1970-71 appropriation of $45,321,000. The interim appropriation from the Commonwealth, however, pro- vides only $37,900,000. The tuition increase which we are announcing now will fill only a portion of the gap between those two figures, but, considering the financial means of our students, we feel strongly that tuition should not go higher than provided by the increases. We hope that by next spring the legislature will provide additional funds to make up the remainder. Otherwise, even with the present tuition rise, the University will suffer a deficit which it will have to make up through subsequent reductions in programs or further increases in charges. Future Student Charges “We will do everything we can to keep future student charges to a minimum. In setting the present rates, we have taken the maximum risk consistent with good management practice to provide education at the lowest possible student cost. We urgently solicit the support of all members of the University community and the community at large in persuading both our governmental and private sources of support that a strong university is a good investment for the community, the state and the nation.” - University officials calculate that the new tuition rates will produce about three million dollars in additional income in 1970-71. This means that the state legislature will have to add about four million dollars to its current level of support for Pitt if the University is to receive its full request and avoid reductions in planned programs. Fund Drive Breaks All Records_ The University received more financial support from its alumni and friends‘ in 1969-70 than during any previous year in the history of the University's Annual Giving Fund. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1970, alumni and other annual donors provided Pitt more than a half million dollars in continuing support. What’s more, the largest number of donors in history participated in the campaign. The figures were released by Curtis E. Jones (Bus.’50), se- nior vice president of Mellon Bank, who is chairman of the University's Annual Giving Fund Board, and Raymond O. Strothman (Bus.’45), president of Strothman and Mock, Inc., insurance brokers, who was the Fund’s 1969-70 national cam- paign chairman. - R. Heath Larry, Law’37, served as Charter Council Chairman, and James B. Say, Bus.’50, as Second Vice Chairman of the AGF Board. A According to the two men, the Annual Giving Fund last year, collected $518,991 from 9,950 donors. The goal for the campaign has been $500,000. The year before, 8,453 donors contributed $401,866, and in 1967-68, 7,108 gave $363,288.

October I970 ALUMNI TIMES Page I3 Misterogers Visits The Pitt Neighborhood Of Dr. M. B. McFarland Photo by Lilo Brych Dr. M. B. McFarland, director of Arsenal Family and Children’s Center, and Fred Rogers discuss production of Misteroger’s Neighbohood. A group of excited youngsters at Pitts- burgh’s Arsenal Family and Children's Center on Penn Avenue were enjoying a visit from their idol of televisionland, Mr. Fred Rogers. They were being shown the various puppets used on the show, and were given an opportunity to “talk” with them. One little girl, brimming over with the momentous news that her pet bird had died, confided the intelligence gravely to each puppet, as if each figure was indeed a separate being. “This gives you some idea of the total involvement that children have with the ‘Misterogers Neighborhood’ program, said Margaret B. McFar- land, Ph.D., director of the Arsenal Center. She also is advisor and psy- chological consultant to Mr. Rogers in the preparation of the fantastically popular children’s program seen 10- cally on WQED, education Channel 13. Arsenal Center is supported joint- ly by the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and the Alle- gheny County Health Department. “For quite a long period of time now,” she explained, “Fred Rogers has had reg- ular appointments here. Predominantly, we talk about how children might react to certain themes, how they look at things, and how they feel about things. He goes away and transposes all this and incorporates it into his program. It's so exciting to see it afterwards be- cause of his comprehension of children and how he can present material to them which is appropriate." From Alaska to Hawaii “Some people think his program is just for entertainment," she went on. “He is extraordinarily talented, a crea- tive man who has chosen to work with children, and sees the medium of televis- ion as a way of working with millions of children.” The program is now carried by 197 National Educational Television stations in all 50 states and in Ameri- can Samoa, which means ‘that chil- dren from Alaska to Hawaii are watching a program created right here in Pittsburgh. “Of course, the program and its meas- ure of success is the result of considerable work. Fred Rogers has invested himself with much training and study. When he first introduced himself at Arsenal Center, he was an accomplished composer of music, a poet, and a creative dramatist. He writes all the songs, he writes . - « - - the melody, the lyrics, King Friday XIII and he writes the dra- matic scripts.” Mr. Rogers’ New Book “He has a new book published by Ran- dom House, handsomely illustrated with all his songs. And his records are now dis- tributed all over the country. It started out with his just having those records made in quite small numbers so that chil- dren in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County could have the music of his program. The children even carry those records around, they love them so much. It’s quite praiseworthy that Pitts- burgh has produced an artist like that for children, because there are many people talented in music or drama who wouldn’t be able to speak to children like that at all. He has chosen to work with children and that is the core of his profes- sional identity. He has brought his music, drama and talents into coor- dination behind the single purpose of working with children.” In her annual report to the Depart- ment of Psychiatry, Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, (WPIC) administra- /. tive parent of the Arsenal Center, Dr. McFarland wrote: “The identity of Fred M. Rogers, M.A., in the fields of education an(l child de- velopment is based upon the sensitivity of his understanding of childhood ex- periences and the dynamics of human growth, and upon his creativity through which he is able to express to children creative modes of coping with feelings and of striving to grow.” In a recent issue of the WQED maga- zine Close Up, Dr. McFarland discussed the educational significance of “Misterog- ers”: “The program is based upon the knowl- edge that a television show watched by a ’ child in a home is in- corporated into the family culture; the cre- ator of a television program becomes a family participant, and television extends the environment of the home to include adults who offer the child meaningful re- lationships other than those supplied by the parents.” Daniel Tiger Children Relate to Him “A child’s capacity to watch television attentively results from his infant exper- iences of gazing at his mother and visual- ly following her activities as she cares for him. The infant, therefore, associates gratification with the visual image of the mother. Likewise, the older child seeks equal gratification from the televised adult. “It is logical to assume that edu- cational television experiences are most effective when consistently of- fered by an adult who is empathetic with and genuinely concerned with children. Children can relate to Mr. Rogers; they seem to sense that he recognizes them as the child coun- terparts of his adult self. “Such a relationship is essential to the child’s capacity to learn. Difliculty in - -- learning is not caused by a lack of experi- ence with material things. Difficulty aris- es in learning when a A child is deprived of a consistent, one-to-one relationship with a mother person who in- vests confidence in the goodness of certain sensory perceptions. Lady Fa-irchild As he develops, a child needs the support of a loving adult. The interpersonal relationship that Mr. Rog- ers establishes with the individual child is the basis for the significance of fMister- ogers Neighborhood’ as an educational program." A Meaningful Adult Dr. McFarland also noted that because Mr. Rogers is a meaningful adult, chil- dren listen and watch with intense con- centration as Mr. Rogers enters the door at the left of the set and moves to the closet door at the right where he hangs up his coat. Each child pursuing his move- ments is exercising the left-to-right eye movement that will become a component of reading. . The development of sustained vis- ual and auditory attention is im- portant also. Children often have experiences that make them feel that looking and listening intently are forbidden by adults, making it dif- ficult for the child to learn either by looking or listening. Mr. Rogers, however, overcomes this inhibition by the gentleness of his presentation and his warm invitation to the chil- ‘ dren to watch and listen. —Steve Chontos iifiiinir’1'¥iné”s “VI 970 Kent Scott hit on 51.7 per cent of his shots. It’s an over-used phrase, but ‘cautious optimism’ is the outlook for the 1970-71 Pitt basketball picture. Coach ‘Buzz’ Ridl, preparing for his third year at Pitt, apparently has the Panthers headed back toward national prominence. Ridl, who compiled a remarkable 216-90 record during 12 years at Westminster (Pa.) College, gave Pitt its first non-losing campaign in six years last season, and it looks like just the start. Pitt won ve. of its last six games, four of them on the road, and eight of the top nine scorers from that team return, including four regulars. Add to that a very impressive freshman team and a junior College transfer, and the picture looks bright. 3 Schedule is Tougher “I was very encouraged by our progress last season,” Ridl says. “We won over some of our top rivals, and the players adapted well to our style of play. We'll be experienced both offensively and de- fensively this season, and that should help. Our schedule is tougher, though, so we’ll have to improve consistently. We're going to work on improving our running game, and we also need improve- ment in the rebounding department. I think some of our younger players will help us considerably there.” Ridl’s warning on the schedule is no false alarm. The Panthers will face a 24-game schedule that includes contests against five and possibly six of last year’s tournament teams- _ UCLA, North Carolina State, David- son, Temple, Georgia Tech and Du- (UCLA and Duquesne are in the Steel Bowl and Pitt might meet only one of them.) Pitt and quesne. Duquesne will play the opener. Pitt will be led by 6-3 sharpshooting junior guard, Kent ‘Great’ Scott, the top scoring sophomore at Pitt since All- American Don Hennon. Scott tallied 405 points last season (16.9) and hit on 51.7 percent of his shots—the best ever for a Panther player. He was named for run- ner-up honors by the Pittsburgh Basket- ball V\’riters’ Assoc. as the Outstanding Basketball Player in the Tri-State area. Lettermen Returning Returning with Scott as regulars will at guard (8.5), 6-8 junior center Paul O’Gorek (11.1) and 6-5 junior forward Mike Paul (ll.l).’ Other letterman re- turning, several of whom were part-time starters, are 6-2 senior guard Bill Downes (3.8), 6-4 senior forward Mike Riggle (3.0), 6-2 junior forward Bob Cizmarik (3.1), 6-2 junior guard Steve Lewis (3-1), and 5-10 senior guard Mike Caldwell (2.3). Although it will be a veteran team, several of the newcomers could push for a starting job. Carl Morris, a 6-6 forward who led the freshman team in scoring with a 18.6 average, will probably battle with another frosh, 6-8 Bill Sulkowski (14.1), and junior college transfer 6-5 Chris Jones for one forward spot. Ed ‘Buzzy’ Harrison, a 6-4 frosh forward who averaged 14.4 points, and Marvin Abrams, a 6-3 guard, are also expected to battle for starting berths. All in all, it will be Pitt’s best and deepest team in years, but the question is, will it be deep enough to handle the schedule? - —Dean Billick 1970-71 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Dec. 1 GETTYSBURG Dec. 5 at Fordham Dec. 8 WISCONSIN Dec. 19 at Cornell Dec. 23 at Kent State Dec. 29 STEEL BOWL Pittsburgh, Pa. 30 (UCLA, Duquesne, Wm. 8c Mary, Pitt) Jan. 2 RUTGERS Jan. 6 at George Washington Jan. 9 at Syracuse Jan. 13 DAVIDSON Jan. 16 PENN STATE Jan. 23.

Pharmacy Alum Boosts Pitt In Football Game Broadcasts A Pharmacy alumnus is giving the Uni- versity a gift of time this fall. Irvin K. Poust (Phar’39) whose phar- macy is a sponsor of broadcasts of Pitt games in the Warren area, is donating some of his commercial time to inform listeners of Pitt’s contributions to the wellbeing of the commonwealth. The 30 and 60 second spots include accounts of research conducted at Pitt and explain the importance of private giving. Bernard Koperek, Director of Alum- ni Affairs, said that the spots “are among the most unusual gifts we have ever re- ceived. They are extremely useful to us as they provide the opportunity to pre- sent a number of messages about Pitt to a listening public—and some segments of that audience will consist of people we would have great difficulty reaching through more conventional means." Mr. Poust, a resident of Warren, has served Pitt as Class Agent for the An- nual Giving Fund, as a member of the Charter Council and the Century Club. He is a member of William Pitt Associ- ates. Pitt Parents Organize The Development and Alumni Affairs Office announces a new organization for parents of Pitt undergraduate students. It’s called the Pitt Parents’ Association, and includes both alumni and non-alum- ni. If you are concerned with maintain- ing and improving the quality of your student’s education so that your son or daughter receives maximum benefits from university life, we invite you to -take an active part in the Pitt Parents’ Associa- tion. . Structurally, P.P.A. will consist of a general chairman, secretary, and class spokesmen from each undergraduate class. As a beginning only parents of freshmen and sophomore students will be contacted. However, any interested parents of ju- niors and/or seniors are cordially invited to contact the Development Oflice—62l— 3500, extension 483. Tom Davies Day To Be Observed Nov. 14 Members of the Golden Panther Club are planning to observe No- vember 14, the day Pitt plays Boston College, as Tom Davies Day. Tom came to Pitt in 1918 and was named to Walter Camp’s All-American team Tom Davies, All-American halfback, in 1920, when he was racking up gains total- ing 3,93l yards. He also played baseball and captained the 1920 team. as a freshman. He was a regular for four sea- sons and was again named All-American in 1920. He holds three Pitt Punt re- turn records. He later coached at the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, Geneva, Allegheny, Scranton, Rochester, Kiski and Western Re- serve. He has been an executive with Lincoln National Life Insurance Company for 25 years and serves as treasurer of the Curb- stone Coaches Club in Pittsburgh. Tom was nominated for the Varsity Letterman of Distinction in 1963. This year he became one of five Pitt Players elected to the NCAA National Hall of Fame. The others are Bob Peck, Marshal Goldberg, George . McLaren and Herb Stein. He was also named to the NCAA All-American roster, which consists of players who were first-team selec- tions on one or more of ‘the various All-American ratings nationally over the years. In 1969 he was honored by the. Al- legheny County Civic Sportsmen’s Asso- ciation as Sportsman of the Year. While playing for Pop Warner, Davies and his mates achieved unbeaten seasons in 1918 and 1920. During his 26 years as a coach, his teams won 141 games, lost 42 and tied eight. An early account of his prowess appears in the 1921 Owl account of the Pitt-Le- high game, which Pitt won 14-0. “Three times Pitt had the ball in- side the five-yard line, but was un- able to shove it across. Ten minutes before the final whistle, Tom Davies uncorked two sensational fifty-yard runs that resulted in touchdowns. It was wonderful football.” Tom Davies October ‘I970 ALUMNI TIMES‘ Page I 5 Pitt Greats Recalled In Sports Hall Of Fame The newly published “Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame” ($7.95) is now available at The University of Pittsburgh Book Center. This book, a compilation of Pittsburgh sports history with many pictures, plus illustrations by Marty Wolfson, is written by retired Pittsburgh Press Sports Editor Chet Smith. The book has many rare old pictures and some choice quotes and bits of color about the outstanding sports figures over the past century in baseball, basketball, boxing, football, golf and hockey. Swim- ming, wrestling, soccer, track and field, and horseracing also find place in this book. A great deal of Pitt’s sport history, es- pecially in football and basketball, is in- cluded. Records indicate football began here as early as 1890 when this institution was known as the Western University of Pennsylvania. A group of students got together, organized a team and played three games that year losing to the Alle- gheny Athletic Association 38 to 0, and to Washington and Jefferson 32 to 0. They defeated Geneva 10 to 4. Two years later the school hired a coach, Anson F. Harrold, formerly of Princeton, and football was on campus. The 1915-1918 seasons are recalled as one reads of “Pop” Warner’s winning teams. It was Warner who is said to be the creator of the single and double wing offenses. BOB PECK There are pictures and text describing the team: Bob Peck, center and first Pitt all-American;; Herb Stein, all-American center; backs Tommy Holleran and Bill McClelland; Jack Sack, guard; Harvey V DON HENNON Harman, tackle, who now is executive secretary of the National Football Foun- dation and the Hall of Fame, and George McLaren and Tommy Davis, all-Ameri- cans. Davis played from 1918 through 1921 and after his college days went on to become a businessman and a coach of colleges and prep schools. In 26 years he won 141 games, lost 42, and tied 8. Featured too, are Pitt’s famous de- fensive quartet of 1938. They included Curly Stebbins, Johnny Chickerneo, Mar- shall (Biggie) Goldberg and Dick Cas- siano. ' In highlighting other years, Smith men- tions Ralph Fife, l94l; Bernie Barkous- kie, 1949; Joe Schmidt, 1952; Joe Walton, 1956; John Guzik, 1958 and Mike Ditka, 1960. Basketball takes its place in sports his- tory of the city as well. That sport came later than Football to the University with the hiring of Benjamin F. Printz as coach in 1906. Dr. H. Clifford (Red) Carlson was a bright spot for much of his term as bas- ketball coach, 31 seasons in fact, starting in 1922. The book pictures, little Don Hennon, from Wampum, Pa., a sharp shooter who made 651 points in 25 games in the 1957- 58 Pitt season. A salute is given to Rex Peery, the Pitt wrestling coach who has, in 12 years, led college wrestlers to 93 wins, 31 losses and 2 ties. Three eastern title crowns came as a result. His sons did him proud in 1952 and 1954 with Hugh and Ed Peery winning six N.C.A.A. wrestling titles be- tween them and Hugh going on to the U.S. Olympic team. The authors pay tribute too to Carl Olson, Pitt track coach by pointing out that every Pitt record is now “held by an Olsen developed track or field man.” The sports—minded with Pitt affiliations will find much of interest in this book.

In addition, 50 re- mote terminals are located throughout the campus. George F. Badger, Jr. who had been serving as acting director of the Computer Center, has been appointed its associate director. Physics Department Receives NASA Grants To Aid Research Dr. Edward C. Zipf and Dr. Wade Fite, Pittsburgh Physics Department, have re- ceived grants from the National Aero- nautics and Space Administration (NASA) for upper atmosphere research. Dr. Zipf was awarded $66,000 for “Laboratory Studies on the Excitation and Collisional Deactivation of Meta- stable Atoms and Molecules," the ‘fifth supplement to a grant awarded to him in 1965. The grant provides support for the analysis of data collected from rocket ' programs conducted each winter in Fort Churchill, Canada, by Dr. Zipf and Dr. Thomas Donahue, also of Pitt’s Physics Department. Dr. Fite was awarded $47,865 for “Laboratory Research on Airglow Excita- tion Mechanisms Using Atomic Beam Techniques.” His studies involve simula- tion and study of the physical and chem- ical processes that produce light in the aurora and airglow. Both professors are conducting their research under the auspices of Pitt’s Space Research Coordination Center, which co- ordinates University research and train- ing programs related to the exploration of outer space. Film Equipment Wanted A group of students and faculty are eager to add a course in cinematog- raphy to the undergraduate curricu- lum. They lack only a sufficient quan- tity of equi-pment and are hopeful that some alumni and friends in the busi- ness may be able to send some used motion picture cameras, editing equip- ment, etc. in their direction. Even out of date film may be useful. If you can help, call or write to the Office o-f De- velopmen-t and Alumni Affairs 210 South Bouquet Street, Pittsburgh, Pa. 15213, and we'll put you in touch. To Err Is Human—To Explain -WeII It's Embarrassing The Alumni Times June issue erred in its account of the Engineering Alumni‘ dinner by printing a photograph labeled “Mr. McMillen,” when it wasnit Mr. Mc- Millen at all. It was, instead, a photograph of Paul Franklin Ful- ton, Ph.D., associate chairman, Chemical 8c Petroleum Engineer- ing. What makes this all so awkward is that the Alumni Office also omitted to list Mr. Mc- Millen in the Blue Book, the honor roll listing of donors where he rightly ought to be. Mr. McMillen (B.S. Pet. E.’36) the re- cipient of a Distinguished Alumnus Award, is senior vice president and a di- rector of Marathon Oil Company. He has achieved distinction in both domestic and international petroleum operations and is recognized as an outstanding ambassador of the American management system. Dr. Fulton (B.S. Pet. E.'38, M.S.’5l) earned his Ph.D. at the Pennsylvania State University. Mr. McMillen Engineering Re-Accredited The Engineers Council for Professional Development (ECPD) has re-accredited Pitt’s School of Engineering. An evalua- tion team from ECPD V1SlI2€d the school last Augus-t.

Dr. Blair, a Phi Beta Kappa, received his Ph.D. in Economics at Fordham, where he has taught for the past "ten years. While on leave -from Fordham he served as an econo- mist with the Foreign _ Research Division of p,_ mag, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. His recent research has been in the area‘ of output growth, relative prices and resource allocation in developing economies. A.S.C. Ehrenberg, professor of Market- ing\ at the London Graduate School of Business Studies, has been appointed Vis- iting Albert Wesley Frey Professor of Mar- keting for the 1970-71 academic year. He will divide his time between Pittsburgh and London. Professor Ehrenberg joined the London Graduate School early this year and has held previous academic ap- pointments at the Uni- versities of Cambridge, Prof. Ehrenberg Columbia, Durham, London and Warwick.‘He is a past chair- man of the Market Research Society in the United Kingdom, a past council mem- ber of the Royal Statistical Society, In- stitute of Statisticians and the Marketing Society. The faculty of the Graduate School of Business has increased by 25 per cent dur- ing the past 15 months. Drug Inspector Program The School of Pharmacy, in coopera- tion with the federal Drug Administra- tion Institute, conducted its fifth annual training program for federal drug in- spectors. Thirty-six inspectors were on campus for three weeks of study of testing and evaluation of drugs. Central Club Elects Wickersham President On Friday, August 7, the Central Penn- sylvania Pitt Club held its traditional pre- Big 33 Dinner, at which time new officers were installed for 1970-71. Richard B. Wickersham, Bus'.)0, was elected Presi- dent; elected Vice President was VVilliam H. Glasgow, Eng’-I2; new Secretary-Treas- urer is Mrs. Betty B. Hamman, Col’47. Head football coach Carl DePasqua, C0l’50, said he felt that .“the corner has been turned” as far as restoring Pitt foot- ball to respectability. He cited as encour- aging the fact that 14 incoming frosh would represent Pitt in the Big 33 game at Hershey the following night. Featured speaker Daniel McFadden of the Student Affairs oflice traced the his- tory of student unrest from its formative stages at Berkeley in 1964 to the present (lay. Pitt, McFadden said, has been spared the virulent polarization that has characterized student unrest at other uni- versities and declared that enlightened administrative policies were largely re- sponsible. Outgoing President, Raymond E. Dietz, Col'39, in his farewell address, expressed thanks to the Central Pennsylvania alum- ni for making his stay in oflice so enjoy- able and productive. ‘ Approximately 50 people attended the dinner held at the West Shore Country Club in Camp Hill. Sloan Foundation Grants $200,000 to Engineering The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has awarded the School of Engineering a grant of $200,000.’ Dr. H. E. Hoelscher, Dean of the School, reported that the grant, which will cover a three-year peri- od, would be used in developing the — School's program in environmental engi- neering. The Sloan Foundation grant follows another award of $700,000 made in 1968 by General and Mrs. Richard K. Mellon. The Mellon endownment gave the School of Engineering its initial thrust into the area of environmental engineering by establishing the Edward R. Weidlein Pro- fessorship of Environmental Engineering, named for the former Mellon Institute president. Dr. William L. Garrison, urban and environmental systems analyst who was appointed to the Weidlein professorship a year ago, will administer the Sloan grant. Dr. Garrison plans to use the grant—the largest ever awarded to Pitt by the Sloan Foundation—to help develop an environmental laboratory and to es- tablish an interdisciplinary graduate de- gree program and undergraduate courses in environmental design. “The grant,” said Dr. Garrison, “will help us get started in our endeavor to help solve some of the environmental problems our country is facing right now.” The Sloan grant to Pitt was one of ten announced today by the Foundation. The Foundation reported that the grants had been awarded to institutions which have shown a commitment to preparing students to practice the broader concept of engineering dictated by today’s needs.

The fall bustle has returned to the University of Pittsburgh: once more the long lines in the Cathedral, the cafeteria hubbub, the traffic congestion at Forbes and Bigelow, the frantic scurry to move belongings, to find buildings, to buy books. Out of the swirling crowds that meander about the campus these first days suddenly appears a familiar face, perhaps transfigured by a strengthened determination to attain the elusive goals of previous years. Then, too, with their characteristic enthus- iasm, the freshmen, the transfer students, and other new members of the Uni- versity community fill the void of those who have gone. But the new faces as well \ Photo by Kim Hoeveler as the old are bewildered now. There are curriculum innovations, more facilities, agdifferent calendar of events, and novel procedures to follow for many otherwise‘ routine tasks. At first the confusion seems overwhelming, as if in the space of a few months the whole University had been turned upside down. Yet the inevit- able perennials remain: the studying, the friendships, the search for self, the de- cisions for the future. For SOIIIC the fall term inaugurates a fresh and significant phase of life; for others the culmination of an experience and years of striving. Beyond the press of the moment is the beginning of the latest cycle of an ancient tradition and an ongoing process. —Keith Milton AUTUMN (continued from Page 1) In addition, with funds partly granted by the state and partly by foundations, the School of Engineering has begun a new program in Environmental Engineering, designed to attack the broader technological problems of environmental quality. The football-loving alumnus will notice another change this fall when he takes his seat in Pitt Stadium. On the field below him will be the new AstroTurf playing surface. And you'll see that the base walls of the stadium have been painted gold and blue. The AstroTurf was chosen for the stadium chiefly because of the cost-saving in maintenance that will result from its use. So with students changing, courses changing and even the football stadium chang- ing, it must be apparent that Pitt is one of those places where changes and innovation are constant. And if any institution-—business or educational—is to remain healthy and in tune with the times, change is a necessary, and desired, trait. —Dennis Casey Alumni In Print-Recent Publications George, Margaret One Woman’s “Situa- tion”: A Study of Mary Wollstonecraft (University of» Illinois Press.

Campus Security Officers To Organize Union Campus security officers recently cul- minated a six-month organizing effort with a memo of understanding granting pay increases for a 38-month period. The memo covered matters agreed up- on by a bargaining committee for the Security Officers and a management com- mittee composed of Leland Deck; Robert K. Merritt, who was recently promoted to Manager, Security Services Department; and Hunt V. Martin, Director of Physi- cal Plant. Wages which previously had varied on a merit basis were standardized" on the basis of length of services with a starting wage of $3.00 per hour and a maximum wage of $4.27. The previous rates were $2.55 an hour for beginners, to a top scale of $3.10. Negotiations were carried on through a five-hour work stoppage, when picket lines were honored by 30 carpenters and some Teamsters. Employee Relations Act The Security Officers plan to seek a charter for a local union composed solely of security officers, as required by the new Public Employee Relations Act which was signed by Governor Shafer while negotiations were taking place. The bargaining committee for the Se- curity Officers was advised by Richard R. Peluso, business agent of Teamsters Lo- cal No. 249, which for many years has represented the truck drivers at Pitt. The Campus Security Force numbers fifty-one officers and four sergeants. This appears ample until it is realized that the « Vol. 2, No. 3 ALUMNITIMES A PUBLICATION FOR ALUMNI, PARENTS AND FRIENDS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Published Quarterly University of Pittsburgh Pittsburgh, Pa. l52l3 Second-class postage paid at Pittsburgh, Pa. 1 5219 October, 1970 force must be divided into turns and pro- vision must be made for days off. Security Problems The Oakland Campus presents particu- lar security problems. It cannot be fenced off with a guard at the gate as can an in- dustrial plant, and thousands of students, faculty, staff and visitors traverse the campus daily. The area to be patrolled is large and complex. The distance be- tween the playingrfields on the upper campus and the Frick Fine Arts Building at Schenley Park is about a mile, and campus property is interspersed with pri- vate homes, private buildings and com- ‘mercial properties, including an active business area. The area is open to many transients, and some of them are criminals. Oakland police latest weekly report lists 35 crimes, including assault and armed robbery with goods stolen to a value of $3,205. To cope with such hazards Lieutenant Robert K. Merritt, security superinten- dent, has increased foot patrols of the Oakland area for the critical period of Friday and Saturday nights. Seeks Cooperation In order to make the most of his pro- fessional manpower, Lieutenant Merritt has employed student security aides to release professional officers from low level security duties such as signing visitors in and out of buildings. He is also seeking the cooperation of the staff —and faculty, “who must help us by calling on us. We need assistance to report losses and investigate suspicious circumstances. You can’t stop open-ness in the university community or it ceases to be a university, but we must reduce the number of thefts.” Dr. C. C. Li Honored Dr. C. C. Li, chairman of the Depart- ment of Biostatistics, Graduate School of Public Health, was named “Statistician of the Year” by the Pittsburgh Chapter of the American Statistical Association. Dr. Li, an expert in mathematical genetics, was elected a Fellow of the Statistics Association this past year. as: I, r._Q cm... i i ~.-H‘-z‘= c.-2 ALUMNI” ‘nuts ‘lPage'l Rising Premiums Leading Pitt To Consider Collegiate Cooperative Insurance Scheme Rising insurance premiums may lead the University of Pittsburgh to join with other universities in a cooperative insurance plan. Pitt now pays an annual fire insurance premium of seventy-five thousand dollars a year, and is faced with the prospect of paying six times that much—that is; four hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year for the same coverage when the present policy expires in 1972. Such was the experience of the University of Southern Illinois (about the same size as Pitt) when that university renewed its fire insurance. The increase in insurance costs is partly-but not entirely—attributable to campus disorders, and Pitt’s Director of Insurance Programs, Leland P. Deck, believes that the insurance underwriters have over-acted. “We recognize that insurance companies must take losses in other institutions of learning into account when they set our rates,” Mr. Deck said, “so in effect we are having to share in losses of fires and riots at other institutions. But the underwriters have not given us the benefit of our own excellent record. “Claims actually paid from both the liability and fire insurance on this campus represent a very small fraction of the total premium we are required to pay. We probably have the best record on losses—fire losses, and public liability claims—-of any major urban university in the country.” Captive Company Considered Mr. Deck's concern with rising premiums is shared by Edison Montgomery, Pitt's Vice President for Business and Finance. Mr. Montgomery serves on the Insurance Committee of the National Association of College and University Business Ofiicers, and the Insurance Committee is considering a co—operative venture. J. R. Gallivan, president of the University Insurance Managers Association, has called for a study of “self-funding, creating a captive insurance company, or some form of pooling our risks.” There is considerable precedent for a captive insurance company, Mr. Deck said, and explained: "Some of the major corporations in the country have totally owned insurance companies in the Bahamas and Bermuda, and they pay these companies the same premium that they would pay to a domestic company. Claims and Premiums "They are doing this because they feel that the claims are substantially less than the premium charged by domestic companies. They will therefore be able to have a totally owned subsidiary with large profits. If there are any profits, they come back to the parent company.” “These companies can invest in the re-insurance market, that is; companies which invest in a percentage of the risk of other insurers, or deposit the money in one of the banks down there which pay ten or twelve per cent interest.” The University Insurance Manager’s Association has been advised by a consulting service, of the advantages of setting up off-shore insurance companies. Also being con- sidered is whether a group of universities should combine and establish a domestic insurance company, either a stock company or a mutual company. Pitt officers have been discussing such an insurance affiliation with representatives of Penn State and Temple, and with a deputy State Insurance Commissioner. The Supreme Court Decision Increasing premiums are not the only factor contributing to rising insurance costs. Some new deductible clauses relieve the insurance company from paying the first hun- dred thousand dollars on a fire loss. And inflation has increased the monetary value of the university's buildings, and increased evaluation means higher premiums. Then t_here’s that 1966 decision of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. That decision strips away the immunity of non-profit institutions from lawsuit. Consequently, said'Mr. Deck, “The underwriters are kind of worried because they're in a vague area in estimating potential damages from such suits. We have 50,000 people at a football game. That’s 50,000 chances of a lawsuit. The Bleak Prospects “And the insurance company has to bear all the expenses of the lawyers to defend us. When you buy insurance you buy two things; the insurance company’s payment of the judgment, and the payment of the lawyers to contest the suit.” Even bleaker are the prospects of those schools which cannot buy insurance at any price, as Mr. Deck related: “A school in New York City has been unable to buy fire insurance to cover one of their new buildings. They had financed this building with a loan from the Fed- eral Government, and the ‘government required that the building be insured for at least the amount of the outstanding loan. When the federal agency learned that the school could not renew its fire insurance, the agency notified the school that the loan was in default and demanded immediate repayment.” Lloyd’s Doesn't Want Us Not quite so disastrous, but nevertheless melancholy, tidings come from other uni- versities; five-fold premium increases at the University of California, Northwestern’s have quadrupled, and Stanford’s have doubled. Even Lloyd’s of London, reputed to insure against the birth of twins and the capture of The Loch Ness Monster, are shying away from collegiate risks. “They turned us down flat,” said Mr. Deck, “They turned us down cold on malpractice insurance. They've never paid a dime for claims in all the years Pitt has bought from Lloyds, and as far back as our records go we’ve been buying from Lloyds. They would not renew our policy.” “Times have changed,” said Mr. Deck as he strolled down Memory Lane, “Years ago the toughest part of a college insurance director's job was fending off the agents." —Lester Sullivan Pharmacy Grads Cited At Annual Alumni Dinner Three graduates of the School of Phar- macy were honored at the School’s Annu- al Alumni Dinner. Receiving the School's Distinguished Alumni Awards for outstanding contribu- tions to pharmacy in the areas of educa- tion, government and community practice were the following: Dr. William L. Black- stein, a member of the class of 1950, chairman of the Health Science Unit of the University of Wisconsin's Extension Service; Arthur G. Isack, class of 1957, now serving as deputy director of the U.S. Division of Health Standards and special assistant to the director of Com- munity Health Standards; and James L. Strader, class of 1926, a local pharmacist who has been president of the Alumni Association and numerous civic groups. The event was attended by more than 350 alumni, friends and families of this year's graduating class. Ray Strothman receives congratulations from the Chancellor. Sharing the moment of triumph are Curtis Jones and Jim Say. Fund Drive Mr. Jones, the fund board chairman, said “the record of the Pitt campaign is particularly gratifying in light of the fact that some of the leading universities in the country have experienced declines in alumni giving during the past year.” Pitt, he said, was “bucking a trend.” Campa-ign chairman Strothman pointed out that the $518,991 contributed on an annual basis was “the equivalent of the yield on a total endowment of $10,380,000- in other words, it would take that much more in the University’s endowment fund to produce as much in income as the alumni contributed on an annual basis last year." The largest gift given in the campaign was $15,575, and the smallest, one dollar. Contributions came from members of the classes of 1899 through 1970. Chancellor Wesley W. Posvar said, “The support of the alumni has a very special meaning’ for those of us who work and teach at Pitt. Alumni giving is important not only for the income it produces, but because it demonstrates to all sources of private support that the University has the backing of its graduates in its continuing efforts to achieve academic distinction. Under our state-related status, an outstanding University can be maintained only if public and private donors continue to work in concert to achieve that goal. Through their giving record last- year, our alumni have demonstrated a continuing willingness to do their share.” (continued from Page 1) . Officers Re-Elected Following the successful campaign, the directors met in Webster Hall, September 24 and re-elected Mr. Jones, chairman; Mr. Strothman was re-elected first vice chair- man and Mr. Say, second vice chairman. Elected to four-year terms as active directors were: Margaret Anderson Bruno (Nurs’50 and Nurs’56), Julius A. Fino (Col’42 Med’43), Mr. Jones, Paul N. Kuzmich (Eng’48), R. Heath Larry (Law’37), Alexander Lewis, Jr. (Ph.D. Nat. Sci’51) James 0. Porter (Col’63), and Harold R. Schmidt (Law’37). Elected to fill three-year unexpired terms were Myles M. Berk (Col’49, Med’53) and E. G. Shuster (Col’54), also an Alumni Trustee. Elected to two-year terms as emeritus directors were Harvey J. Haughton (Bus '34), Ralph D. Horsman (Ed'29, '34, '40) and Norman MacLeod (Bus’l7). Mr. Strothman announced that the 1970-71 goal would be $700,000 from 12,500 alumni, friends, corporations, pa- rents and students.

The set was donated Mrs. Marilyn Whitmore, head of the University Libraries’ Gift and Exchange unit, recently wrote a letter of thanks for‘ “a volume in» honor of the recovery of Mr. J. Emmanuel Katz.” Unusual? Yes and no. The receipt of a book in honor of a recovery is somewhat unusual, but hundreds of letters of thanks for books and other materials are sent out by the Libraries’ Gift and Exchange unit every year. In the academic year 1968-1969 the Gift and Exchange unit received 16,450 items —9,405 books and 7,045 issues of periodi- cals. From July through April of 1969- 1970 22,443 items were received-10,842 books and 11,601 periodical issues. These are primarily gifts rather than items re- ceived on an exchange basis. Many gifts are single volumes. Fre- ~ quently, however, a donor presents the Libraries with a collection, either a per- sonal library reflecting varied interests or a" collection devoted to a particular sub- ject. This past March Mr. John M. Malone of Edgeworth, Pennsylvania, gave the Libraries his collection of 300 vol- umes on the Mexican Revolution. Mr. Malone, it turns out, played cor- respondence chess. In 1923 he made a trip to Mexico to meet two of his oppo- nents, and the trip touched off his inter- est in Mexican history and the Mexican Revolution in particular. Gifts Reflect Interests \ Books or collections can come because of a man’s business or professional inter- ests. Dr. Alfred Powell of Mt. Lebanon, a retired chemist for the Koppers Com- pany, donated his run of Chemical Ab- stracts, made up of the numbers issued from 1914 through 1956 and the decen- nial indexes for 1917-1926, 1927-1936, and 1937-1946. Materials received as gifts are fre- quently duplicates of materials al- ready held. by the Libraries, but this does not mean that they cannot be used. A library system serving a large university community needs several copies of standard works. The Libraries received 748 issues of Sports Illustrated and 1,621 issues of Life from Mrs. Samuel 8. Scott of Glen- shaw, Pennsylvania. Sports Illus- trated went to the Undergraduate Collection, the separate collection in Hillman Library designed to serve the needs of undergraduates. The issues of Life were used to fill in §g>.I.;‘\'iV.;‘§“‘ hylgp ilgxg’ ;,‘_;;_« E‘ ~.‘..,-X‘,-i_ 1;“. ._,. ..: ,,,. 3”’); gaps in the holdings of that maga- zine in the Undergraduate Collec- tion. Materials which the Libraries receive but cannot use are discarded only after being offered to other libraries. Faculty Donors The single most important group of donors is the University faculty. Dr. Mark Perlman, University Professor of Eco- nomics, Chairman of the Economics De- partment, and Professor of History and Economics in Public Health,_ gave 437 books in the field of economics to the Libraries in October. Dr. John P. Gillin, Research Professor of Anthropology, made a gift to the Libraries of 48 books and 102 serials, primarily Latin American materials, in November. In the same month Dr. Carter Goodrich, Mellon Professor of His- tory and Professor of Economics, do- nated 131 items, including 72 Inter- national Labor Organizations mono- graphs and serials. In March Dr. Holbert N. Carroll, Professor of P0- litical Science, donated 202 mono- graphs and 140 serials in the field of political science. The Libraries also receive numerous gifts from non-faculty members of the University community, Pitt alumni, and friends of the University. In April Mrs. Madeleine D. Wolfe, mother of Univer- sity Trustee C. Holmes Wolfe, ]r., gave the Libraries 141 books, including a 37- volume set of the complete works of Balzac and an l8—volume set of the com- plete works of Daudet. In April the Li- braries received 1,570 volumes from the Pit-t Book Center. Endowment Funds An extension of the idea of the gift in kind is the gift of funds, o-r the establish- ment of an endowment fund, to be used for the purchase of library materials selected by the Libraries staff. Members of the Sidney Stark family, many of whom are Pitt alumni, have established the Sidney and Sadie Stark Endowment for Modern European and American Eco- nomic History and the Stark Brothers Record Fund. The latter was recently increased by a gift of over $28,000. In- come from the Stark Brothers Record Fund is used to purchase recordings of the spoken word which are then housed in the Stark Listening Center in Hillman Library. The Libraries’ George W. Crouch Memorial Fund has recently been es- Enrich University Libraries by Mr. and Mrs. James K. Ebbert. Ruth Salisbury, coordinator of Special Collections, said that, “the slides provide a real research re- source for the study of events and leaders of the war.” tablished. Friends and former stu- dents of Dr. Crouch, who at his death this past April was Professor of Eng- lish, Dean of the Faculty, and Sec- retary of the University Emeritus, are invited to send contributions to be used for the purchase of books honoring his memory. A book given to the Libraries, or one bought with gift funds, receives a book- - plate which reads as follows: University of Pittsburgh Library .. This book presented by (donor's name). Books received as memorials or in honor of a particular person contain b-ookplates inscribed with the name of the person remembered or honored as well as the name of the donor. Special Collections In addition to gift materials that are added to collections available to library users on open shelves, each year -the Li- braries receive items that are added to their Special Collections. These are rare items, or items that for one reason or another need special handling and hous- mg. Rare materials donated to Special Collections in 1969-1970 include Harris’ Pittsburgh Business Directory for the years 1837, 1839, 1841, 1844, and 1847 Directory of Pittsburgh and Vicinity for 1857-1858; and Pitts- burgh Allegheny County Almanac, Being a Business Directory for 1867, all donated by C. Menges‘Alexander. Other rare items donated this year were Samuel Richardson's History of Sir Charles Grandison, 6th edition (1770), donated by Paul Taylor, and two vol- umes of a New York newspaper, Spirit of the Times, covering the years 1849-1850 and 1850-1851, the gift of Jane Walsh. Faculty Publications The Special Collections received the manuscripts of several faculty publica- tions this year, among them the manu- script of Lady Queen Anne, donated by Margaret Hodges, and the same au- thor's manuscript version of Constella- tion, a Shakespeare Anthology. Mrs. Hodges is Assistant Professor of Library Science in the Graduate School of Library and Information Sciences. The two books are books for young readers. The Special Collections received the manuscript, gal- ley, page proof, and a printed copy of Business and Professional Speaking from its author, Dr. William S. Tacey, Profes- sor of Speech. Another item given to the Special Collections in 1969-1970 was a collec- tion of letters written by George D. Bruce to his parents Robert and Margaret Bruce, donated by Willis Van Devanter. Robert Bruce'(l778- 1846) was a Chancellor of the West- ern University of Pennsylvania, now University of Pittsburgh. The Archives of Industrial Society, a department within the Special Collec- tions welcomes gifts of records concern- ing the rise and development of urban, industrial society, particularly in Pitts- burgh and Western Pennsylvania. Abraham Wolk Papers In September the A.I.S. received the papers of Abraham L. Wolk, a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh Law School who had served on the Pittsburgh City Council for approximately twenty years before his appointment to the Or- phans Court. in 1956. Last December the Pittsburgh Board of Education deposited with A.I.S. 150 volumes of minute books, journals, cash books, and attendance reports of the various schools and school boards of the city prior to the creation of the central school board. The records date from 1836 and extend to 1962. In March the Civic Club. of A1- legheny County gave the A.I.S. records relating to its annual meetings from 1896 to 1937 and to its interests in, for instance, Arsenal Park, Associated Char- ities, billboards, Blue Laws, child labor, child welfare, fire protection, health and welfare, housing, and Juvenile Court. The collection contains a file of the voters directories compiled by the Club from 1930 through 1967, directories which include biographies of all candidates in both primary and general elections dur- ing those years. In May the A.I.S. re- ceived records of the William A. Breen Real Estate Agency. The records, filling 111 cartons, pertain to property in Pitts- burgh’s Hill District and cover the years 1900-1965. The A.I.S. continues to build its collections of materials relating to Pittsburgh's various ethnic groups. The donor of property to the Univer- sity Libraries generally can deduct its value from taxable income. According to income tax law, the Libraries are not, however, recognized appraisers of mate- rials for tax purposes. -Patricia Heinz ' - " i.——‘:«l;§.;-(,3; ‘I-53 ;.;;-,2,» :1. ‘ cago October I970 Alumni N Alumni in the News Business EDWARD I.
