Evening Students’ Age Increases

Mr. Harry A. McGuff, Direc- tor of the Evening Division at Indiana Central College, has an- nounced the results of recent studies made relative to the composition of the division.

Even though emphasis has been placed on the attendance of college by recent high school graduates, the trend a t Indiana Central College has indicated increase in the average age of its students. In the past two years the average age has moved from 26.9 to 28.3 for the current semester. Mr. McGuff feels that this is a n indication of increased interest in higher education by the more mature adult.

The range of ages has also increased to include students from 17 to 68.

The $250,000 Challenge Gift

For several months alumni have been approached in various ways to match an anonymous $250,000 challenge gift. The deadline was extended from Christmas to Easter and now the challenge has been met-but the hard way! We were $53,097 short and had to use undesig- nated contributions which we had planned to utilize for other purposes.

Many of you have been cu- rious as to the identity of the donor of the generous gift. The college will take pride and pleasure in announcing the name of our benefactor a t commence- ment on June 2.

Securing this matching gift assures the remodeling of “Old Main” into a Fine Arts Center.

We have reached another im- portant station in our journey toward a $3,000,000 goal. The grand total raised to date is $1,516,323.

While dormitories have been remodeled, Krannert Hall built and funds now made available for the above mentioned recon- struction, there is still much to be done. The remaining $1,483,- 677 is needed to complete the Science Building, to build a Campus Center to house many facilities ordinarily included in a student union, and to pay debts on some of the present buildings.

We urge, therefore, that the many alumni who have not con- tributed to the Development Fund do so now. This is our alma mater. Increasing its prestige and effectiveness should be of concern to all of us.

Another milestone has been passed. We look forward to the next with hope and anticipation.

Last Call For Roll Call While the main emphasis dur-

ing the past school year has been on securing contributions to match a $250,000 challenge gift and thus insure the comple- tion of the Science and Fine Arts Buildings, the door is al- ways open to contribute to the Annual Roll Call.

You are all aware, we are sure, that this fund is designed to help raise faculty salary levels to a level where we can secure and retain the highest possible faculty instruction.

Out of 3100 graduates only 122 have, during this fiscal year, contributed to Roll Call. We realize, of course, that many who have not given have con- centrated on the Development Fund. However, a t least 2,000 have not given to either.

Participation rather than the amount given is the main em- phasis in Roll Call. If all aumni give something, it would at least show a feeling of responsibility on the part of those who spent a good piece of their lives in In- diana Central.

The fiscal year ends June 30. If you have not given to either Fund in the past few months, the pledge form, page 9, will pro- vide you with that opportunity. Just cut it out, fill it in and mail it to the Alumni or Development Office. A report will be made in the October i s s u e of the ALUMNI NEWS.

Please Note Many of you have been mak-

ing Alumni Roll Call payments in small installment envelopes we provided in the past for your convenience.

The new postal regulations now state that an envelope must be at least three inches in width (height) and four and one-half inches in length, or they are un- mailable and will go to the Dead Letter Section of the Post Office.

College Sends Religious Play On State Tour

EUB Church, Indianapolis, Sun- day, April 28; and Grace EUB Church , L a f a y e t t e , Sunday,

The Indiana Central College Players toured Indiana, begin- ning April 17, to present “Ev- eryman Today,” a modern adap- tation of the famous medieval morality play, in seven churches.

The cast of 11 was accom- panied by the director, Profes- sor Kenneth Kohn, chairman of the Department of Speech and Drama.

“Everyman Today” retains much of the allegory of the original-the personification of virtues, vices, and other abstract qualities. It is presented so that members of the audience see themselves as the characters in the drama.

The relevancy to modern man comes into vivid focus as he him- self suddenly becomes the busi- ness tycoon, the politician, and the dictator, resisting the pleas of Conscience until the end when she, like Good Deeds, pleads his case at Judgment Day. The con- clusion affords a moving, per- sonal experience for the thinking 20th century Christian.

Evening performances were given at the First Evangelical United Brethren Church, South Bend, Wednesday, April 17; Barbour Avenue EUB Church, Terre Haute, Thursday, April 18 ; First Presbyterian Church, Brazil, Friday, April 19; First EUB Church, Hammond, Satur- day, April 20; First EUB Church, Kendallville, Sunday, April 21 ; University Heights

May 5. George Schwartz, Freeburg,

Missouri, portrays the dictator, business man, general, scientist and intellectual. Jim Reber, Day- ton, Ohio, is an announcer. Mary Kay Coon, Mt. Vernon, repre- sents Conscience; Sue Hiatt, In- dianapolis, Death ; and Jane Winter, Indianapolis, Beauty.

Jeannene Huffman, Lebanon, has the role of a mother and wife ; Bill Linson, Indianapolis, a flier ; Jim Ellars, Logansport, a messenger; Dan Lawther, Hammond, a doctor and minis- te r ; and Joe Rankin, Muncie, the Devil. J im Peck, Kokomo, is electrician. The other backstage duties are performed by the members of the cast.

AT&T Head and Bishop (Continued from Page 1)

Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas. He grew up in Illi- nois, was graduated magna cum laude from Indiana Central in 1932, and earned the degrees of bachelor of divinity in 1937 and doctor of theology in 1946 from the American Theological Semi- nary. In 1950 Indiana Central conferred a doctor of divinity degree upon him.

After college Bishop Milhouse served Illinois pastorates a t El- liot, Olney and Decatur for 20 years. Then he was associate editor of the Telescope-Messen- ger, denominational magazine, eight years and executive secre- tary of the General Council of Administration of the E.U.B. Church two years before his election to the episcopacy in 1960.

Indiana Central Starts Historical Collection

Indiana Central College, which is nearing the end of its sixth decade, has started a historical collection. At present the collec- tion consists largely of news- paper clippings, photographs, letters, speech manuscripts, and programs of a variety of college events.

Dr. Sybil Weaver, professor emeritus of English, has charge of setting up the archives. Miss Weaver’s recollections of the college, even before she became a student and then a faculty member, extend over half a cen- tury, giving her a valuable back- ground for this undertaking.

Space has been set aside on an upper floor of the college library fo r housing the college’s archives and a similar collection belong- ing to the Indiana South Confer- ence of the Evangelical United Brethren Church.

The first contribution from outside sources came after the Sunday Magazine of the Indian- apolis Star carried an old pic- ture of the Administration Building. Mrs. Emerson H. Thompson of Indianapolis gave the college a collection of photo- graphs that belonged to her aunt, the late Miss Iva May Smith, who taught music a t In- diana Central in its early years.

Indiana Central College Summer Classes Announced

Indiana Central College has announced that summer sched- ules indicating both day and evening classes are now avail- able for distribution and can be obtained by calling the college at State 7-1301. A total of 46 classes will be offered in the evening enabling both beginning and advanced students to pursue their programs without inter- ruption. Classes will begin on Tuesday, June 11, and will end on Thursday, August 8. June high school graduates are being encouraged to register for sum- mer classes so that they might be introduced to college work. In this manner, by taking a basic course during the summer months, they are not confronted with a completely new experi- ence when they s tar t their full- time college program in Sep- tember.

Indiana Central College em- phasizes the importance of close personal counseling and would encourage all prospective stu- dents to make arrangements with the Evening Division office for educational counseling dur- ing the evening hours or on Saturday morning. l h i s is a community service that is pro- vided by the college.

The young diamond team (9 freshmen, 9 sophomores, 3 juniors, and 2 seniors) has gotten off to a slow start against some tough non- conference opposition.
