WEBVTT 00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:07.106 High alumni of Arizona State University. This is Steve Allen class of 45. 00:00:07.139 --> 00:00:11.166 You know, it seems a little more than a few days ago that as a student, I 00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:16.686 used to tinker with the piano in West Hall and then when I got thrown out 00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:20.607 of there, I used to go back to East Hall where I was living at the time. 00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:25.467 Well, as you may know, East Hall is no more. In its place is a gaping 00:00:25.500 --> 00:00:29.927 hole where the handsome new five story university library is going to be 00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:36.476 built. The new library is one sign of progress. Another symbol of progress 00:00:36.509 --> 00:00:41.307 is the alumni loyalty fund, which brings you this recorded sounds of the 00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:48.107 campus. 00:00:48.140 --> 00:00:53.826 Yeah, perhaps the most exciting sounds of the campus were heard this fall 00:00:53.859 --> 00:00:59.707 in the magnificent new Gammage Auditorium designed by frank Lloyd Wright. 00:00:59.740 --> 00:01:05.296 The great Hall was named for dr Grady Gammage who did so much for a s You 00:01:05.329 --> 00:01:11.357 as president for 27 years in the background is the phoenix symphony 00:01:11.390 --> 00:01:16.956 orchestra playing the Saguaro Sweet written especially for the orchestra's 00:01:16.989 --> 00:01:21.777 inaugural concert in Gammage Auditorium and based upon Arizona State's 00:01:21.810 --> 00:01:29.810 alma mater. 00:01:31.340 --> 00:01:34.167 Another sound of the campus was carried throughout the nation on 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.977 television as our brilliant college bowl team won four consecutive 00:01:38.010 --> 00:01:42.777 contests. If you saw the flare one second before you heard the pistol 00:01:42.810 --> 00:01:46.546 report, would you be more nearly 1/10 of a mile away? Three quarters of a 00:01:46.579 --> 00:01:50.587 mile away or one mile away. Arizona State goal. It's 1/10 miles. That's 00:01:50.620 --> 00:01:56.027 right. Sound travels approximately 1/5 of a mile per second. Many students 00:01:56.060 --> 00:02:00.777 like these who brought a suit to the attention of the entire nation attend 00:02:00.810 --> 00:02:05.497 the university on scholarships made possible by private financial support 00:02:05.530 --> 00:02:10.987 such as that you give to your alumni loyalty fund. And another sound of 00:02:11.020 --> 00:02:15.837 the campus this fall was heard all over the world as our Coed Vonda Kay 00:02:15.870 --> 00:02:20.957 Van Dyke was named Miss America in atlantic city. Ladies and gentlemen 00:02:20.990 --> 00:02:26.207 meet the new Miss America 1965. 00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:33.376 Very lovely on the cave and dyke and through the tears and smiles. She's a 00:02:33.409 --> 00:02:37.957 senior at Arizona State University. She's 22 years old and she's had 00:02:37.990 --> 00:02:42.006 special training and voice piano. She wants to go back and from Peter 00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:45.816 College Education and become a teacher. Other sounds of the campus 00:02:45.849 --> 00:02:50.906 familiar to alumni, young and old. The Sun Devil marching band in the 00:02:50.939 --> 00:02:54.506 fight song, 00:02:54.539 --> 00:03:01.906 the excitement of a Sun Devil home basketball game, 00:03:01.939 --> 00:03:07.527 elementary spanish taught by DR Irma Wilson by the way she retires this 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:13.737 year after 42 years on the faculty maybe brew model. It depends a little 00:03:13.770 --> 00:03:17.476 bit on the person, doesn't it? If he's the sort of person that gets all 00:03:17.509 --> 00:03:22.846 mixed up and doesn't know where anything is, Maybe that would apply to me 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:26.786 would be a bit surprised, add these sounds of a suit to the traditional 00:03:26.819 --> 00:03:31.367 color of a sun Devil stadium football game, perennial national rankings 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:36.156 and football track and baseball and gold medal winners in the olympics in 00:03:36.189 --> 00:03:42.987 Japan and we alumni have had many reasons to be proud this year. 00:03:43.020 --> 00:03:47.416 Now here, the man who has done much to bring about these triumphs. The 00:03:47.449 --> 00:03:52.927 president of Arizona State University, dr G Homer Durham, I would list a 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:57.677 few things in addition to what steve has mentioned, which in my opinion 00:03:57.710 --> 00:04:04.506 cause us to share this loyalty to a shoe. For example, Mike's colic 00:04:04.539 --> 00:04:10.027 Graduate in economics in 1963 is now studying at Oxford University as a 00:04:10.060 --> 00:04:16.527 Rhodes scholar this year. And our new college of law Authorized in late 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:18.806 1964 00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:26.839 plans to admit our first law students In the autumn semester of 1967. 00:04:27.220 --> 00:04:32.796 In a moment you will hear the 50 voice concert choir directed by Professor 00:04:32.829 --> 00:04:38.197 David Schooler. Many students in this excellent Coral Grouper attending 00:04:38.230 --> 00:04:44.707 college because of scholarships or loans which you have made possible 00:04:44.740 --> 00:04:48.106 through the alumni fund 00:04:48.139 --> 00:04:55.496 your support, which makes possible the margin of excellence of a great and 00:04:55.529 --> 00:04:58.406 growing university. 00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:04.356 Your alumni fund helps greatly in this effort, give what you can, won't 00:05:04.389 --> 00:05:12.389 you? $1,000 or $1 to the alumni loyalty fund. Arizona State's 17 students 00:05:12.930 --> 00:05:18.306 , including these fine voices of the concert choir singing the alma mater. 00:05:18.339 --> 00:05:26.339 Well, thank you. 00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:57.639 Yeah, yeah.
