Treasure Island: The Fouts Rare Book Room

Have you ever strolled through the new Krannert Memorial Library and peered into the locked rooms at the east end of the main floor, wondering what made them so special? One room in particular, the Fouts Rare Book Room, contains many real treasures.

This room, named after the late ICU English professor Lois Taylor Fouts, is the home of many rare and special books, donated by the Krannerts, Dr. Leon G . Zerfas, and Mr. and Mrs. Paul Hirst. What makes these books rare is not the content, but the bindings and/or illustrations. Some are valuable because of their ages, and a number are special because the authors have signed them.

For example, this room’s shelves hold a copy of John Steinbeck’s East of Eden, autographed by the author, as well as a book of Carl Sandburg’s works, signed by Sandburg. One set of Charles Dickens’ Christmas books reveals, tucked away in the front of one of the books, a check written by Dickens on June 8, 1868, in the amount of twelve pounds, ten shill- ings.

There are five special sets of the works of Charles Dickens, including The Nonesuch Editions, a rare set of numbered volumes. Many other authors are included in the collection, such as Shakespeare, Spenser, John- son, Hugo, Kipling, Ibsen, Byron, and

James-to name a few-and these are printed in rare and limited editions.

One of the library’s display cases recently held for public viewing oneof the original plates used in printing an illustration in a special edition of a Dickens book. One book of Spenser, dated 1896, has a hard cover of what is apparently treated leather, similar to plastic, and containing inlaid mother- of-pearl. Several volumes wear cloth bindings, and one is bound in unborn calf hide. An edition of Swift’s Gulli- ver’s Travels features a special effect. The book “A Voyage toBrobdingnag,” in which Gulliver finds himself among a race of giants, is printed in huge type, in a book which is too large even to fit into a library display case. On the other hand, “A Voyage to Lilliput,” where the traveller meets a race of little folk, is printed in a tiny book which would fit in the palm of a hand.

These represent only a smattering of the collection of unique books to be found in the Krannert Memorial Library. While these must, of neces- sity, be apart from the other less- valuable books in the library and in a locked room for safety’s sake, our librarians will take visitors in to look

% at the books upon request. These are, indeed, rare, exceptional, and beautiful books which Indiana Central should be extremely proud and grateful to own as part of its collection. 0

The October issue of the Alumni News has strayed somewhat

from the usual format. Though the regular columns and features

will return next issue, we have devoted nearly one third of this issue

to a particular concern. The reason: a recent survey noted that 60%

of all college seniors had no idea of what an alumni association was

all about. We suspected this figure may be reflected in the ranks of

the ICU Alumni Association. It is the intended purpose of pages 6

through 15 to clarify why the Association functions, how it

functions, and which functions it sponsors. It is hoped that with

improved understanding, the Association will also continue to

0 improve. We welcome your comments.

From the Resident’s Desk Is It Worth It?

President Gene E. Sease

I

Published Alumni The Krannert Memorial Library is

still collecting copies of articles, books, poetry, and/or dissertations that have been written, edited, illustrated, or compiled by Indian; Central alumni and which have been published.

These items will be added to Indiana Central University library holdings in either the vertical file or the cataloged collection. Duplicated copies are acceptable if theoriginal is not available. Only one copy need be sent, as the library is unable to return any copies.

A list of Indiana Central Univer- sity alumni publications will be made available at a later date. 0

One of the questions most frequently asked concerning Indiana Central and independent institutions generally is, “Is i t worth the difference in cost to send a student to Indiana Central when the state universities are so much less expensive?” Without any reflection on state-supported institutions which are valuable and respected allies and essential to the expansion of education in our nation, let’s consider some basic facts:

The difference in cost is not as much as i t first might appear. Be sure when an institution quotes its charges, that fees, along with tuition, are included. The tuition charge at ICU includes basic fees. While a considerable difference in cost remains, there are ample scholarships and grant programs which dramatically reduce the cost to the student. State scholarship funds, the G.I. Bill, BEOG grants, ICU grants and loans all add u p to assist the deserving student.

What does the student receive for that difference? Some items would be: (l).A value-oriented education in which one attempts to build a philosophy to prepare for life as well as to earn a living; (2) An opportunity to study directly with professors (not graduate assistants) and make life-long friends with these professionals; (3) The development of leadership abilities. It is a fact that many of the nation’s outstanding leaders are products of the small independent institution where they have had an opportunity to exert and develop campus leadership skills while students; (4) An experience in the private enterprise laboratory at an institution which accentuates that system which built a strong and free nation.

During our recent Faculty-Staff Institute, we took the opportunity to again evaluate and assess the “margin of difference” which ICU should make. Some concerns which stood out were: (1) That i t is critical that we discover meaning for our own life. This is viewed in the context of the Christian community and our faith that we are created in the image of God. Though the image may become blurred and our nature sometimes seems more devilish than angelic, we search for God’s will and way for our days on earth. (2) Value-priorities are sought and established. The truly great personalities of history have sought to unselfishly serve, while the annals of the notorious record those who are self- centered and obsessed with the lust for power, prestige, and possessions. (3) We learn to assume our rightful place in a responsible community. We are not our brother’s keeper, but our brother’s brother, desirous of building relationships of trust and understanding. Faculty-student friendships formed are life- long and as we trust and learn from each other in a Christian academic community, we become more responsible members of the world community. (4) True education has about it not only the cerebral characteristics of the mind, but the cardial aspects of the heart. We struggle with growth that is not only intellectual, but which broadens sensitivity and embraces compassion, concern, and purpose.

We believe Indiana Central is worth the difference! We are encouraged that so many students and parents agree and our alumni continue to encourage family, friends, neighbors, and acquaintances to join the ICU family. We will continue to labor faithfully to earn your continued confidence, support, and recommendations ! 0

Of bronze bells, a hopeful hall, and a possible pool

Plans are well underway for several new facilities on campus which will be both useful and enjoyable. It is hoped that a new dormitory, a carillon within the new minipark, and a natatorium all will grace the Indiana Central campus in the near future.

A preliminary set of plans have already been drawn for the proposed dormitory, and at this writing, are being revised into a final set of plans. The mechanical and electrical work that goes with preparing a set of plans for bid was done in September. At the time of this interview with President Sease, he stated that if the University could begin the new dormitory by the first of October, i t would hopefully be ready for occupancy by September of 1979.

The rooms will be exactly the same structure and dimensions of New Dorm, with built-in desks and beds. Ho-wever, floors will be tile, rather than carpet, as tile does not wear as quickly, and is more easily cleaned. Each floor of the building will feature two lounges, one in each wing, washers. dryers, and ranges for cook- ing. The main lobby will be quite large, and will probably feature a 24- hour security desk. Plans for the building reveal that i t has many energy-saving qualities.

T h e proposed building would house 240 students, 100 in one wing and 140 in the other. The population of the building could be reversed, if the male-female ratio were to change. It would be designed with a common lobby. The facility would feature air conditioning and elevators, and would be fully equipped for the handicapped. The tentative site would be north of the Krannert Memorial Library. Total

new facilities are being planned for the Central campus

Cost is estimated at $2 million, with $1 million hoped for from one donor in order to name the building: otherwise, i t will be called North Hall, and New Dorm will be known as East Hall.

The carillon requires a gift of $lOO,OOO before i t can be erected. The clock-and-bell tower will stand in the new mini-park in the middle of the quadrangle parking lot. The quadrangle is made up of Esch Hall, Schwitzer Center, Lilly Hall, and the Krannert Memorial Library.

The carillon will stand approximately 50 to 60 feet high, with bronze pillars, a clock face on four sides, and three bells surrounded by plexiglass. The tower will be connected to the keyboard of the Ransburg Auditorium pipe organ, so that virtually any type of music may be played to the campus. Also, the bells will ring automatically every hour, beginning at five minutes prior to the hour and playing until the hour, as this is the time students will be moving between classes.

The mini-park and carillon will be completed this fall. The mini-park will feature lighting of the type which is found in the new library parking lot, and more recently in the quadrangle lot. It will be landscaped with benches and shrubbery, and a wide sidewalk, leading from Lilly Hall to Esch Hall, passing through the park’s center. It is felt that the carillon and mini-park will add character and beauty to the campus.

The natatorium is a third facility planned for the campus, though there is no specific date in mind for its construction. The projected cost is $3 million. A tentative set of plans has been drawn up. The Board of Trustees has authorized a campaign for funds.

The building probably will have an Olympic sized pool, with a separate diving pool. It will also feature locker rooms and a small gymnasium, and the pool will feature an underwater observation area. The natatorium will have elevators, and a tunnel will connect to the main floor of the gymnasium, making both buildings accessible to the handicapped. Presi- dent Sease noted that he did not want the facility to have the appearance of a “motel pool”-the building would have plenty of glass to make it more attractive and the exterior would be landscaped. He noted that a natator- iun was needed for three basic reasons:

1) The coaches that our physical education program produces go on to teach in schools that engage in swimming competition. More and more high schools are adding pools to their physical education facilities.

2) ICU needs to compete in swimming with other schools in the conference, as points earned in swimming competition would aid in Central’s already strong bid for the conference’s All-Sports Trophy.

3) The natatorium would be a recreational feature on campus open to students, faculty, and staff.

The proposed natatorium would be located north of the gymnasium. A date for the facility’s construction will probably not be set until the Univer- sity has a donor. 0

How did they get there?

Board of Trustees ( 5 )

Members of the Indiana Central Alumni Association in the past have received mail asking them to elect directors to four-year terms on the Alumni Board. It is apparent how the candidates are elected once the process has reached this stage, but the ques- tion might be raised as to how these nominees for the Board are chosen in the first place.

Each year at their second meeting, the Alumni Association Board ap- points three Board members and two’ non-Board members to serve on a nominating committee. This com-

Election Committee

( 5 )

mittee then works with the Alumni Office in searching out alumni interested in running for the Board. When nominees have been located, the information is printed in the brochures which are then mailed to voting members of the Association, and the results are finally tabulated using these written secret ballots. Voting members who wish to be considered as nominees themselves should contact the Alumni Office, or individual Board members, to make their intentions known.

twenty directors. Ex-officio members include the University President, the most recent past president of the Association, the five trustees, the Alumni Relations Director, and one student representative-thirty persons in all . The four-year terms are staggered, so that each year five new directors are elected. Members of the nine committees within the Board are appointed by the executive committee, composed of the president, vice president, secretary-treasurer, and two directors which are elected by the Board. 0

The Distinguished Alumnus Award

Bishop Paul W . Milhouse . . . 1978 Distinguished Alumnus

The Distinguished Alumnus Award is the highest honor that the Indiana Central University Alumni Associa- tion is able to bestow. The Distin- guished Alumnus medallion is awarded on the basis of two criteria: performance by the alumnus in his or her chosen field at a level which clearly distinguishes the alumnus from his or her peers, and application of a conspicuous portion of the time, talent, and energy of the alumnus to improving the lot of his or her fellow man.

The Honors, Recognitions, and Resolutions Committee has the responsibility of gathering the names and data of potential award winners. The committee, on the basis of this data, makes a recommendation to the Board of Directors for approval, though basically, it is the committee's choice to make.

The award originated at Indiana Central in 1968, though a medal was not struck until 1973. The medal was awarded retroactively to all recipients of the award, and continued to be awarded through May, 1975. In 1976 and 1977, plaques were awarded to those chosen for the honor, and in 1978, another medallion was awarded.

In the past, the following selection criteria have been used for determining - "Distinguished Alumni":

Humanitarian Qualities (a) Has high level of empathy for his

fellow human beings. (b) Applies a conspicuous portion of

his time, talent, and energies to improvement on the lot of his fellow man.

(c) Consistently demonstrates intellectual and emotional maturity in all categories of his relationships with fellow human beings.

Achievements (a) In his chosen career, performs at a

level that clearly distinguishes him among his peers in his occupation or profession.

(b) In pursuits or activities not directly related to his career, performs at a level adjudged outstanding by his immediate associates or others in a position to evaluate his performance.

(c) Through an act of benevolence or other outstanding service to Indi- ana Central University contributes significantly to the objectives and future of the institution.

The recipient of the 1978 Distin- guished Alumnus Award at Indiana Central University was Dr. Paul W. Milhouse, who graduated magna cum laude from Indiana Central in 1932.

Following his graduation from Central, Dr. Milhouse served pastor- ates in Illinois from 1932 to 1951, during which time he completed his bachelor of divinity and doctor of theology degrees at American Theo- logical Seminary. Dr. Milhouse then served as associate editor of the official Evangelical United Brethren Church publication, the "Telescope Messen- ger," for eight years. Dr. Milhouse became executive secretary of the

#

General Council of Administrators in Dayton, Ohio, until his 1960 election as bishop.

As bishop, Dr. Milhouse was assigned to the Kansas City area. In 1968, he became a bishop of the United Methodist Church in the Oklahoma area, and in 1977, servedaspresident of the World Council of Bishops.

Bishop Milhouse has published many books, papers, and articles, and is listed in a dozen biographical publications, including Who's Who in America, Dictionary of Znternational Biography, and Contemporary Au- thors.

A penny for your thoughts

In preparation for this issue, I spent a couple of days perusing the Alumni Office files and leafing through each of the previous thirty-some years’ worth of issues of the Alumni News. I’ve been- paying close attention to the publications of other universities, in hopes of learning from their more experienced editors. And, I have been reading a number of trade magazines a n d articles.

One of the things I noticed is that letters to the editor are an often-used communication tool by many of the better magazines.

Indiana Central has, in the past, published letters from alumni in their magazine, but these were mainly letters of the variety which are now streamlined into Class Notes. Few, if any, were letters of the type that responded to an issue on campus, education in general, or in answer to a thought-provoking article in a previous issue of the Alumni News. And, it’s still that way.

What’s this all about? We want to encourage you to write to us. Keep sending us Class Notes, too, of course, but write your ideas. Tell us what you think of Richard Hughes’ provocative article (in this issue) concerning his concept of destiny. Do you think we should enlarge student enrollment, and grow with the apparent demand? Or maintain the small size we now have? How do you feel about the liberal arts curriculum, and its value in view of our increasingly technical society? About the state of education in America? About enlarging our own physical plant? About anything affect- ing the University and education?

We want to know what you think. Drop us a line; we’ll save some space for you in the next Alumni News.

Oh, and while you’re at it, tell us whether you would be interested in formally organizing an area alumni club near you. There are 15 or 20 meetings happening each year in various areas of the country, but these are more of an impromptu nature. If you would like an opportunity to get together with other Indiana Central alumni in your area, and/or would like to be a host or hostess, include it in your letter. We’ll keep you posted. 0

Retreat report Approximately 50 persons “let

themselves go” to the first annual Alumni Retreat last August 4,5, and 6, and it was pronounced a great success by all who attended.

In fact, most participants indicated that they enjoyed themselves enough to make a return trip next year, and would encourage other alumni to return to campus for the fun and enlightening weekend. Evaluation sheets were filled out by the alumni who attended, and these in turn will be evaluated by the Alumni Board. These will aid in constructing the second Alumni Retreat in 1979; the Alumni News will share the results of these meetings in future issues.

All events in this summer’s retreat were rated highly by the participants, whose graduation years ranged from ’26 to ’77. Highlights of the three-day retreat included a lecture by ICU President-Emeritus Dr. I. Lynd Esch on the subject of “Current Hopes in the Middle East: Background and Possibilities,” a performance of “Man of LaMancha” with Ed Ames at Star- light Musicals, Dr. Roland Nelson’s seminar on “Presidents That Might Have Been,” an architectural tour of Columbus, Indiana (the city was featured in a recent issue of National Geographic), a tour of the beautiful Indianapolis Museum of Art, and a valuable three-man panel seminar on the subject of “Planning Your Financial Future.”

One alumnus wrote, “We had a wonderful time, met many new friends, and especially enjoyed the variety of activities.” We feel safe in assuming that that was the sentiment of the others who attended the first Alumni Retreat, and on the basis of this kind of encouragement, invite you to campus in 1979 for the Second Annual Alumni Retreat. 0

- A Concept of Destiny by Rev. Richard Hughes

In human gestation, the growth of the fetus summarizes the entire evolution of the race. Similarly, the development of the person selectively re-enacts previous experiences in the family. Individuals inherit possibilities common to the family, and act upon them throughout their lifetimes. The crucial decisions unfold an identi- fiable pattern. In this sense, everyone lives out a unique destiny.

The source of a personal destiny is the familial unconscious. This concept has been formulated by extensive research in Europe under the origina- tive direction of Leopold Szondi. Szondi, Hungarian by birth, has founded the most comprehensive medical psychology available today. The theory translates from the German as “destinyanalysis.”Though not well known in this country, destiny analysis advances unique and unusual contributions to human understanding. I have been conduct- ing research in this school of thought since 1972.

An individual destiny is disclosed in the way one confronts crises. The basic crises of life are friendship, marriage, vocation, illness, and mode of death. The decisions made during these phases reflect hereditary tendencies in the family background. So, in prac- tical terms, ancestors tend to influence the principal choices.

The logic of this impact stems from

the nature of heterozygous individuals. As in classical genetics, heterozygous individuals inherit dissimilar genes for respective characteristics. Some genes are dominant, others recessive. Though not manifest in the external appearance, the latent recessive genes remain active. They comprise the familial unconscious, and are in relation with the most archaic areas of the brain. The “older brain” preserves the ancestral memories and obeys genetic information.

Choices regarding friendship, marriage, and vocation are frequently made at college. But lacking a developed awareness, students may become susceptible to unconscious repetition- compulsion patterns in their family gene stocks. T o students who make destructive decisions, leading to divorce or alcoholism, for example, it is devastating to discover the parent or ancestor, whom they most dread, is the most influential. I would estimate that a majority of students try to shape a destiny by escaping family ties, but I

this ultimately fails. A key step in the unfolding of a

destiny occurs with courtship rituals and marriage choices. The selection of a mate is not dependent on chance meetings but upon genetic factors. Getting in touch with feelings, as students may put it, is actually a subtle return to the older brain where the ancestors dwell. Whenever two persons share identical latent genes, they

an eminent scholar shares his views on why we are

what we are

will be attracted to each other. This means that lovers are the carriers of identical genotypes and are representatives of the same family group. Thus, all love is a form of incest.

Another crucial step is the selection of a vocation. Choosing a job involves more than finding a way of making money. It is the foremost way of socializing inherited needs and con- flicts. A study of genealogies shows that families have predictable work patterns. One way to understand why certain jobs are chosen is to diagnose the hereditary illnesses in the family. It is likely that families of bankers, merchants, and executives carry poten- tialities for manic-depressive states. Engineers, musicians, professors, and psychiatrists should not be surprised to discover some schizophrenia in their family trees.

As a minister, I am naturally con- cerned with religious vocations. Though a religious calling may have a doctrinal sanction, i t no doubt bears hereditary needs and illnesses. For example, by 1932 it was known that epilepsy, migraines, and stuttering belonged to the same genotype. These ailments are symptoms of emotional disturbances in the limbic system of the brain. Individuals are seized by

,overpowering primitive emotions such as rage, jealousy, or anxiety. The purpose of the emotional seizure is to erect a defense against danger.

These tendencies become manifest in specific families, especially during crises. The technical term for these families is paroxysmal. They produce either clergy, social workers, nurses, or coal miners, farmers, steel workers, fire fighters, sailors, and truck drivers.

18

These jobs best socialize the stormy primitive emotions.

Where I live, in the mountains of Pennsylvania, paroxysmal families are abundant. Passionate coal miners can strike and disable the entire country with their lethal rage. Many Pennsyl- vanians can trace their ancestries back to England, Wales, and Germany. Preachers and coal miners dominate their genealogies, along with the hereditary inclinations toward intense emotion.

The central characters of the Bible also descend from paroxysmal stock. One figure is Cain. As a farmer, he has strong emotions of anger, jealousy, and hatred. Inheriting these tendencies from his mother Eve, he turns them against his brother Abel in a primeval murder. The Cain symbol signifies that the homicidal intent is inherited. The root of evil is innate rage. Epilepsy, migraines, and stuttering are the psychic equivalents of the Cain syndrome.

A second example is Moses. He, too, murders in anger. After fleeing to the desert, God calls Moses to become a law-giver. Moses protests and admits that he is a stutterer. It is deeply significant that God elects a stutterer and a murderer as his prophet. For the root of evil is the same as that of good. The emotions released by Cain in murder are identical to those displayed by Moses in his promulgation of the law. Since Cain and Moses have the same heredity, they represent a symbolic polarity of evil and good.

Religious vocations reflect this Mosaic symbol. This means that the clergy are vulnerable to paroxysmal ailments. Oral Roberts was a stutterer, others epileptic. Often theological

students are shy and stammering at the inception of their careers. Such frailty is a necessary step in the later emergence of moral and intellectual power. For the task of the clergy is to live out the same innate tendencies that lead to murder. The conversion of the Black Panther Eldridge Cleaver is an instructive example.

Churches that avoid the primitive paroxysmal forces will surely decline. Currently, the redemptive role is more adequately carried out by the Pente- costal communities. The Bible-belt image of “hell, fire, and brimstone” is an effective vehicle for primitive emotions. So is the epileptoid speak- ing in tongues. The recent upsurge in revivalism can be correlated with the industrial crisis sustained since World War 11. The resultant unemployment threatens vocational choices. Without work outlets, hereditary needs g o unsatisfied. Mass arousals of anger and resentment are inevitable. These Cain emotions seek resolution and thus stimulate periods of evangelical activity.

When anxiety is acute, persons may adopt sickness and death as coping strategies. It is well known that fatal illnesses like cancer and heart disease have familial precedents. There is mounting evidence that ancestral modes of death can also be selected. The options range from suicide to dying at will. The former is a peren- nial temptation to paroxysmal families. The latter can be found in

traditional cultures like Hawaii. The old Polynesians choose a day and die precisely at that time-without tools or starvation. Either they succumb to strong emotions or, in a yogic manner, simply cease to breathe.

As a teacher, I play a decisive role in student destinies. My task is to arouse the imagination of students, interpret their latent possibilities, and open up liberating pathways. The transmis- sion of knowledge is only a part of teaching. Since the archaic recesses of the brain are not accessible to lan- guage, they must be evoked through symbolic identifications. Students freely introject teachers as criteria to draw out their own latent possibilities. So teachers should live destinies that are creative and secure. A flawed teacher can be detrimental to students.

Most alumni would agree that the college period is fateful. The graduate schools are less crucial in destiny formation. They advocate cerebral specialization at a high degree of abstraction. But graduate schools thrive on an elitist schizophrenia, a trait increasingly manifest in the crisis times of the most sophisticated institutions.

The uniqueness of the liberal arts college is the cultivation of familial patterns of association. These occur in student-teacher interactions and in alumni constituencies. While student generations come and go, the value of teaching remains everlasting. The hope of the teacher is to become a permanent part of student recollec- tions long after graduation. In this rhythm, the college itself flourishes as a family with its own germinal possibilities and ancestral memories. 0

Physical Therapy Program pending

Indiana Central University is working toward initiating a program in physical therapy in response to the need for trained physical therapists in state hospitals. Currently, the only other facility in the Indianapolis area offering such a program is the Indiana University School of Medicine.

President Gene E. Sease noted that the Board of Trustees, at its May meeting, approved the University’s moving into a program of physical therapy, provided that:

1. The University was satisfied that the need existed.

2. The University had $1 million in endowments to fund the program because, like a nursing program, it is an expensive one to operate.

Dr. Sease has since that time visited with a number of potential donors. At this writing, the University does have a donor willing to provide the equipment necessary to the program, which will cost approximately $25,000 to $30,000. Then, assuming that the Uni- versity can obtain the necessary equipment, one donor will supply the $25,000 needed to get the program started between now and September of 1979, when it is hoped the project might be launched.

Potential directors for the physical therapy program are now being inter- viewed. It is hoped that the University may bring in the director nearly a year prior to the start of the program, as was done at the advent of the nursing program. The physical therapy

program, if begun in September of ’79, would admit 20 students the first year, and thereafter, would admit about 20 more students per year. This is the maximum number of students that the hospital facilities in the area would be able to absorb.

Dr. Sease has stated that by Alumni News press time, he hopes to be able to:

1. announce a $1 million endowment gift-or the program must be at least temporarily dropped.

2. announce a gift from a donor for funds from January of ’79 through September of ’79 so the University can appoint a director in January of 1979. A faculty would also be developed, a cir- riculum begun, and students enrolled.

3. purchase necessary equipment. Two rooms are available in Lilly Hall to house the program.

President Sease commented on the fact that Indiana University’s physical therapy program enrolls 35 students per year, with a waiting list of about 500 applicants and is cutting back to 20 students enrolled per year. This demonstrates the need for a physical therapy program at Indiana Central.

Dr. Sease also noted that part of the impetus for founding such a program came in an expression from the hospitals in the area to the effect that Central’s nurses are well qualified, and hospitals would like to see the Univer- sity develop a program in physical therapy. 0

Evolution: as pertaining to Convocation

by LeAnne Briggs When any institution of higher

education establishes itself, i t puts into practice many activities. As the years go by, these evolve as rituals to become a part of the framework and tradition of the institution. Indiana Central University is no exception to the evolution of tradition. Among the University’s confirmed practices is the continuation of “Chapel Services” now referred to as “convocation.”

When the institution began the practice of Chapel in 1905, i t was a service which consisted of Scripture reading, song, prayer, and addresses given by different members of the faculty. These services were held every school day at 8:45 a.m. in Kephart Memorial Auditorium and lasted one half hour. Saturday, evidently, was the only day the students were not expected to attend a religious cere- mony. On the Sabbath, however, they were expected to attend at least one of the three services provided: Sunday school at 9:30 a.m., or preaching at either 10:30 a.m. or 7:30 p.m.

Throughout earlier Indiana Central catalogs there is an undercurrent of religious emphasis. In the 1906-07 catalog was printed the following:

“Religious training is regarded as essential to a thorough education. The institution, being founded ’in the interest of Christ and Christian Scholarship, assumes for its work the joint culture, by all proper means, of both intellect and heart. More than ninety per cent of the students are communicant members of the church and a Christian spirit underlies and animates the instruction in the different departments. But, beyond this, special pro- vision is made for more direct and positive Christian influence.”

The University was anxious to emphasize its religious training benefits to the parents of its students. The catalog continued: “The religious life is earnest and helpful, and patrons may feel satisfied that high moral influences are being exerted constantly over their children.” These daily religious Chapel Services were an integral part of the college curriculum which set an example for Central students.

The administration believed that an essential part of the liberal arts education was spiritual maturity. They also felt that i t was the purpose of the college to assist the students in religious and spiritual development. This assistance was carried out through a warm and earnest religious atmosphere which pervaded the entire campus. All faculty members were considered persons of Christian character and presented courses from a Christian point of view.

As the years went by, the Chapel Services did not fade from the scene, but became, rather, an established tradition at Indiana Central. In the late 1940’s, however, Chapel Services were mandatory every day except Tuesday. This schedule remained in effect for the next 18 years, until it underwent a slight change. Students were then required to attend on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays only. Ab- sence from Chapel Services was not taken lightly by the administration. The students’ presence was mandatory, as was the facultys’. Members of the ICU faculty took attendance at each of the services-which assured their own presence at the service! Each faculty person sat on the stage and was responsible for checking the attendance of an assigned section of the student body. By 1966 there had been a

slight revision in the student attendance requirement; six unexcused absences from Chapel was the maximum permitted for a semester. These six absences were excused without penalty.

Anyone who attended ICU during the years when Chapel Services were held every morning might wonder at the services being cut back from five days a week to three days a week, but in 1970 there was still another change made. Convocation/Chapel programs were held on Wednesdays and Fridays only.

Indiana Central still maintains a religious emphasis in its Convocations and on its campus. Currently, the Convocations are scheduled on Wed- nesdays and Fridays at 10 a.m. rather than 8:45 a.m. and are presented in the Ransburg Auditorium. Students are required to attend 17 Convocations per semester, and senior students are exempt from attendance. Unlike earlier years at ICU, there is now a budget which allows the University to invite guest speakers and a vast array of other types of entertainment, both of educational and amusement value, to appear before the student body. The faculty is no longer required to attend the programs, though members are encouraged to attend when possible.

The University has set up a Convo- cation Committee composed of faculty and students who aid in the selection of speakers and programs presented to the student body. The Church Rela- tions Department, under the direction of Dr. Marshall Chambers, also has a large amount of input into the

arrangements and scheduling of Convocations. T w o Convocations each semester are currently turned over to the Vice-president of Religious Activities within the Central Council student government. On these days speakers or musical groups are invited to present programs with definite religious emphasis.

Through the years, there have been many changes in the structure of the University’s Chapel Services. Through all of its revisions of titles, attendance requirements, time changes, and changes of location, however, it has remained within the traditions of Indiana Central. It is a tradition which aids in the sense of campus unity and one which will probably remain with the institution as long as its doors remain open.

Governor’s Prayer Breakfast, Krannert Memorial Library tours, High School Day, and Homecoming Day. The Aides also function as a valuable sounding board in regard to student sentiment and opinion.

The six new Aides for the 1978-79 year are:

LORNA HARRIS-a junior, ma- joring in accounting and minoring in computer technology. Lorna is a graduate of Gary Roosevelt High School and plans to be a CPA. At Indiana Central, Lorna has been treasurer for the Society for the Advancement of Management at ICU, coordinator of two successful fashion shows for Black History Week, and was second runner-up in the Miss ICU Pageant of 1978.

MARTY JOHNSON-junior, is a graduate of Highland High School. Marty will begin his third year as a top- notch basketball player for the Grey- hounds. Business education is Marty’s major with health and physical education as a minor. Upon graduation, Marty plans to coach basketball, and he also enjoys hunting and fishing.

STEVE LANTZ-is a graduate of Madison Heights High School in Anderson and is a senior. While at ICU, Steve has been on the dean’s list, served on the freshman orientation committee, and participated in inter- collegiate golf in the intramural sports programs. Upon graduation, Steve plans to enter the ministry of the United Methodist Church. His interests are golfing, baseball, and horticulture.

JANET MANN-sophomore, is a graduate of Center Grove High School. While at Central, Janet was awarded the Richie Scholarship for high academic standing, is a member of the Varsity women’s basketball and

tennis teams, and secretary of the freshman class. Janet is a business education major.

STEVE SCHWAB-sophomore, is a graduate of Noblesville High School. While at ICU, Steve has been active in Central Council-the student government-as vice president of his class, a representative of the University to high school students during the summer, and lettered in varsity tennis. Steve was also a member of the ICU cast for the production of “You Can’t Take It With You,” Master of Ceremonies for the Miss ICU Pageant, disc jockey for WICR Radio, and participated in intramural basketball and volleyball. In the future, Steve would like to own and manage his own business. His interests include sports and disc jockeying.

JAN BLAISING-WIMMER-senior, is a graduate of Chrysler High School in New Castle. At Indiana Central, Jan has been a member of the freshman scholastic fraternity-Phi Alpha Epsilon, a two-year member of the ICU Deputation Team-Living Water, two-year member of the ICU Concert Choir, and a member of the Central Arts Chorale. Several academic honors include being named a member of the “Who’s Who Among American Colleges and Universities,” the honor roll, and the dean’s list. Jan’s future plans are to teach elementary school and to eventually branch out into other areas such as music and writing.

These six Presidential Aides were chosen by a screening committee. Over 100 names of students were submitted to the committee by the faculty and staff. The new Presidential Aides joined six others who are completing their term: Brian Brauchla, LeAnne Briggs, Peggy Brodie, Cathy McCarty,

0 Ralph Reiff, and Jeff West.

ICU singer, song writer, and athletic records in Nashville

Rod Wimmer, 20, a sophomore pre- physical therapy major at Indiana Central University, has recorded two songs for Caprice Records in Nash- ville. The original compositions, “Love I Believe Your Lie,” and “I’m Just the Singer of This Song,” were released to 300 cities across the nation on the Checkmate label.

Wimmer, who terms his style

earned a growing reputation as song- writer, singer, and athlete in his career at ICU. Wimmer’s interest in music began when, as a four-year-old, he

‘

I “modern or progressive country,” has

began singing at church. On week- days, he sang along with the jukebox in his father’s Huntington, Indiana restaurant, and drummed a beat with Lincoln Logs. He began drums in earnest with the gift of his first drum set at age eight. For the Wimmer’s, music was a family affair, with Rod’s brother, Rick, playing the guitar and his aunt providing piano accompani- ment.

A second love for Rod has always been sports. He represented Hunting- ton North High School as an honor- able mention member of the 1976-77 Indiana All-State football team. His athletic abilities put him on the ICU Greyhound teams for both football and basketball in 1977-78.

Rod Wimmer, the creator, however,

ness, her doctorate of law from the Indiana University School of Law, and her CPA in 1975. Dr. Krumkalns is a member of the Indiana Association of CPA’s. Dr. Krumkalns and her husband, Erik, have one child.

Nancy Walker Strain will be an instructor in the nursing department. A graduate of Sacred Heart Junior College, Nancy received her A.A. degree in biology and her bachelor’s degree in nursing from Indiana University, Indianapolis. Nancy has been a staff nurse at St. Francis Hospital in Beech Grove, Indiana. Her hobbies are camping, hiking, and horseback riding.

comes through his music with mellow, engaging lyrics and style. Wimmer remarks that, “I must write what I feel. My personal experience is the source for my material. Imagination, then, can enlarge experience. The hard part is to match up the styles of the words and music.”

Which love will win with Rod Wimmer, athletics or music?

“Right now music is an opportunity for me. It is enjoyable. So are sports. We’ll just wait and see the response.”

Rod Wimmer is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Gene 0. Wimmer, R.R. 2, LaFontaine, Indiana. His brother, Rick, a 1978 graduate of ICU, and longtime collaborator in Rod’s musical efforts, is a coach and English teacher at Rushville High School. 0
