SIU'S 1959 HOMECOMING "ON THE LIGHTER SIDE"

Fifty-four events are scheduled for Southern Illinois Univer­

sity's 1959 Homecoming, starting Thursday evening, October

15, and ending with the Homecoming Dance Saturday eve­

ning, October 17. They range from coronation of the Home­

coming queen and Southern Players' presentation of "Diary

of Anne Frank" to the Alpha Delta Sigma Alumni Smoker

and the football game between SIU and Eastern Illinois U.

Theme of Homecoming this year is "On the Lighter Side."

That's just what it will be—a gay, carefree celebration for

students, alumni, faculty, and guests. A few of the highlights

are the Homecoming Dance with Tex Beneke and his orches­

tra; the big Homecoming Show featuring the popular singer,

Joni James, and comedian Henny Youngman; the Home­

coming Parade; a concert by the Southern Illinois Sym­

phony Orchestra; and a barbecue served by the Animal

Science Club.

The Jackson County Alumni Club will hold a reception for

all attending Homecoming at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon in

the Student Union.

Because the Alumni Office is not mailing a Homecoming

Program to the alumni as in previous years, a complete list­

ing is included here.

Alumni Achievement

Award Key This is the new Alumni Achievement

Award key recently adopted by the SIU

Alumni Association to present to win­

ners of the annual Alumni Achieve­

ment Awards.

Made of 10K gold and measuring

1 3/8 inches long by 5/8 inches wide,

the key is a product of L. G. Balfour

Company, one of the finest jewelry

firms in the country. On the face of

the key appears the official Alumni As­

sociation seal, the world and the tri­

angle. The world indicates the alumni

scattered to the four corners and the

triangle represents the three basic pur­

poses of the University—instruction,

research, and service.

Within the triangle is the handclasp

of the alumni and the University.

Printed below is "Southern Illinois Uni­

versity" and around the seal "The As­

sociation of Alumni and Former Stu­

dents 1896." Above and below the seal

appears "Alumni Achievement." On the

back of the key are the name of the

recipient and the year of presentation.

Receiving the new key are the 1958

winners—Dr. Percival Bailey '12, Rich­

ard G. Browne "19-2, Charles R. Satt-

gast '21-2, Judge Fred L. Wham, ex

'05, Dr. James W. Barrow '98-2, the

late Dean Robert B. Browne '13-2, '18,

Robert W. Teeter '04-2, and W. W.

Vandeveer. ex '09.

The 1959 winners are J. Lester Bu-

ford '24-2, '28, Lt. Gen. John Reed

Sfronts at Southern by Bill Young '54

Hodge, ex '14, Robert Lewis Taylor, ex

'33, Dr. Leo Jerome Brown '32, Aubrey

J. Holmes '35, and John E. Miller '85.

It is not too early to start thinking

about candidates for the 1960 Alumni

Achievement Awards. Deadline for sub­

mitting names is Monday, February 15,

1960.

Any alumnus is eligible to nominate

candidates. With the exception of the

present faculty, Board of Trustees, and

current president of the Alumni Asso­

ciation, any alumnus is eligible for

nomination. An award is given in

recognition of outstanding service to

the University and/or the association,

and one for outstanding achievement in

some business, profession, or other field.

s4ltu*uti On October 3 the Missouri Chapter

will hold its annual picnic starting at

5 P.M.  in Babler State Park.

The Springfield area group, the

Sangamon County Chapter, will hold its

fall picnic on Sunday, October 4, be­

ginning at 2 P.M. at the Sangamon

County Junior Fair Building at New

Berlin. Each family is requested to

bring a picnic lunch, table service, and

to pay Si for beverage and building

rental. There will be games and visit­

ing and the picnic will be held rain or

shine. Because President Jackson

Drake '50, M.S. '51, has moved to Car-

bondale, Vice-President William H.

South, ex '46, has assumed his duties.

On Thursday, October 15, the Wash­

ington County Alumni Chapter will have

a 12 o'clock noon luncheon in the Nash­

ville High School Cafeteria.

Also on Thursday, October 15, the

Randolph County Alumni Chapter will

hold its fall meeting at an evening din­

ner.

At the Olney High School on Thurs­

day, October 22, the Richland County

Alumni Chapter will hold an informal

meeting.

The Champaign Area club has set

Wednesday, November 18, as the date

for a dinner meeting. W. A. Bozarth

'41, Tuscola, is president.

CAPTAIN WILLIE BROWN—beginning

his fourth year on the Saluki varsity.

A veteran-jammed lineup opens

Southern Illinois University's 45th foot­

ball campaign at home on Saturday,

October 3, when the Salukis meet

Northern Illinois University. Behind

them are two out-of-town games—

against Evansville College and Western

Virginia State.

Rookie Saluki Coach Carmen Pic-

cone, M.S. '57, has for his starting

lineup: LE Gale Dawson, West Frank­

fort; LT Houston Antwine, Memphis,

Tenn.; LG Paul Brostrom, Chicago; C

Gardy Seeker, Hannibal, Mo.; RG

Capt. Willie Brown, Memphis, Tenn.;

RT Dick Carpenter, Centralia; RE Jim

Battle, Chicago; QB Duke Sutton,

Penns Grove, N. J.; LHB Jan Jansco,

Johnston City; RHB Charles Lerch,

Clarksboro, N. J.; and FB Amos Bul­

locks, Chicago.

All except Battle, Seeker, Sutton, and

Lerch were letterwinners on the '58 SIU

squad that compiled a 7-2 record and

finished in a tie for second in the In­

terstate Conference.

The starting line for the Salukis aver­

ages 217 pounds per man, and the

starting backfield 178 per man—both

averages the heaviest in recent history.

Cross  Country 

Prospects for one of the best cross

country seasons in history are in sight

for Coach Leland P. (Doc) Lingle '27,

who opened his 34th sports campaign

at Southern this fall.

Lingle, SIU's first and only track and

cross country coach, has four lettermen

from the '58 crew that compiled a 6-2

record—best since 1953.

Heading the list of returnees is Capt.

John Flamer, junior hustler from Yonk-

ers, N. Y. Flamer last year set records

on Southern's new 3.3 mile cross

country each time out, finally settling

on 16:22 as the mark. Last spring

Flamer lowered the school two-mile

record, bettering Phil Coleman's 9:40.2

by some 3.5 seconds.

Dale Gleghorn, of Sparta, captain-

elect of the Saluki track team, also re­

turns to add his experience to the

squad. Lee King of Pleasant Plains and

Carl Meier of Altamont round out the

veterans back for another year.

Newcomers include Don Hequem-

bourg, Charleston, Mo.; Don Trow­

bridge, Alton; John Saunders, Marion;

Tom Saunders, Zeigler; and Ken Jones,

Carbondale.

Hequembourg rates as the top pros­

pect among the rookies. He was an

outstanding high school track man for

Charleston last season, winning the Mis­

souri state mile title. Teamed with

Flamer and the rest of the talented crop

of returning veterans, Hequembourg

could be the key the Salukis need to

lock up their first cross country cham­

pionship since 1950.
