* Day Issue Vol. 38, N o TEMPE, ARIZONA Friday, March 11, 1960 ‘Education In Atomic Age’ H-Bomb Expert’s Subject By ANNE LA R O CC A EMBLEM. . . o f ASZJ’s Diamond Jubilee goes alojt on campus. Judy Melcher and Harry Hallickson help raise the colorful symbol of 75 years of growth and progress. • “Education In The Atomic Age” will be discussed by noted atomic physicist Edward Teller, highlighting tfee Founders’ Day convocation tomorrow. The 2 p.m. convocation in the MU ballroom is open to the public. The director of Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, Univer­ sity of California, Livermore, Dr. Teller expressed skepticism during a .recent TV debate when prominent philosopher Bertram Russell told him he should be trusting and tolerant of mankind. Dr. Teller felt that too much was at*, stake in the nuclear age to merely trustj and that mankind needs control. In' 1958, Dr. Teller, known popularly as Vthe father of the hydrogen bomb,” wrote “Our Nuclear Age,” which expresses his views of this age he helped to bring »about. The book strives to tell as simply, as possible of the problems and opportunities of atomic physics, and the dan­ gers of radioactive fallout. Written in a layman’s language, it is available at Mathews Li­ brary. At 10 a.m. tomorrow, Dr. Teller will meet with ASU’s physical scientists for discus- sion. He will be guest of honor at a noon luncheon prior to delivering his speech as part of the opening ceremonies °f ASU’s Diamond Jubilee cele­ bration. Following the convocation, featuring many state and local dignitaries, Dr. Teller will par­ ticipate in the dedication cere­ monies for the two new science buildings. The dedication -will be held on the lawn between the two structures. The build­ ings will hold open house dur­ ing the remainder of the after­ noon. A reception on the Presi­ dent’s lawn, behind the Life Sciences Center, will allow the public to meet Dr. and Mrs. Teller, Sponsored by the Stu­ dent-Faculty committee, the re­ ception is scheduled immedi­ ately after the dedication. The first “Diamond of Dis­ tinction” awards will be pre­ sented at an invitational Found­ ers’ Day banquet at 7, p.m. The dinner program will also fea­ ture the unveiling of the late President Grady Gammage’s portrait, which was painted last spring. “75 Years In Pictures,” ASU’s hitsory in slides, will be shown to the dinner audience and again at the Diamond Jubilee Ball, which starts at 9:30 in the men’s gymnasium. . The Jubilee Ball is sponsored by the Associated Students and is open to the public. Music will be provided by Bob Roth’s Octet. ASU Symphony O rchestra, Concert Choir To Present Stereophonic Program Sunday ASU’s radio-television bu­ reau will present a stereophon­ ic, musical program in observ­ ance of ASU’s Diamond Jubilee at . 6 p.m. Sunday, over KPHO radio and television.

The ordinance reads to the e|fect that it is illegal for any vehicle to be parked in an al­ ley. The prime target area is that encompassed by Apache Blvd., Myrtle Ave. and McAl­ lister Ave. ’. Thsi enforcement, effective immediately, is due to recent complaints concerning the hin­ drance of parked cars to city services using the alleys. “Arizona State 1 University supplies more than adequate parking facilities for students; therefore parking in city al­ leys is unwarranted,” said Gay­ le Shuman, director of Cam­ pus Security.

Just where this Jones boy. landed is a matter of conjec­ ture. And so. is- his story of discovering piles of gold ingots, resting in a small cave near Fort Huachuca. All this happened, in the sum­ mer of 1941 when Jones was a private for his Uncle Sam. One warm Sunday, soldier Jones and a buddy were hiking in a canyon, a few miles from the Fo»t. Suddenly, Jones vanished! What happened, wher’d he go? And where’s the gold? But that’s a titilating tale told by writer Robert Wallace in LIFE.

Jossey Bilan, noted American artist now residing in Scotts­ dale, painted the portrait in 1959, during the closing months of Dr. Gammage’s life, Bilan was commissioned by the ASU Alumni Association. The portrait, begun last Ap­ ril, shows Dr. Gammage in his favorite chair and wearing his favorite tie. “He was always in the best qf spirits while sitting for his portrait, and he enjoyed the hours we spent together,” says Bilan. The artist was dissatis­ fied with the first painting he made of the educator, blanked it out, and began again. A color reproduction of the painting appeared in Sunday’s Arizona Days, and Ways.

'Roessel, Jr., director of the Indian Education Program on campus. Mr. Roessel feels this was brought about through efforts of the Indian Education pro­ gram in cooperation with Dawa Chindi, the American Indian Club at ASU. Dawa Chindi, Hopi-Navajo words for Sun Devils, has 62 members, according to Miss Cindy Callaway, club secretary. They represent Navajo, Pima, Maricopa, M i s s i o n Lagoon, Hopi, Apache, Quichuan, Mo­ have, Nebraska, Oneida, Tawa, Papago and Chemehuevi In­ dians. Started five years ago with 15 students, the club faded into oblivion. Last year, when Mr. Roessel came to ASÜ, the club was revived. “With thé help of students like Miss Callaway and George Gill, - president, from the Omaha tribe, Omaha, Neb., the club has grown and thrived,” Mr. Roessel said. Miss „Callaway came to ASU from Chaffey Junior College, Ontario, Calif., “because I have never before had an opportun­ ity to be with .other Indians.” She indicated that only about six club members attended Phoenix Indian school, and that many come directly from reservations. “We have no pins,, symbols or war bonnets to identify us, and Dawa Chindi is not affilia­ ted with any national organiza­ tions,” Miss Callaway said. “However, there are other such clubs at the UofA and New Mexico.” Miss Callaway said the club is ptlrely social. Mr. Roessel, however, indicated that mem­ bers offer a tutoring service and orientation program to new students. Indicative of its success is the decreasing num­ ber of Indian students who have left ASU. “If v}e can keep the Indian student in school the first year, he is over the hump,” Mr. Roessel concluded.

Catalina Island Voyage Planned A trip to Catalina Island, for $15! Sound like a dream? Well, it is; but it may soon become a reality if students want it. The $15 would cover roundtrip transportation on charter­ ed bus and steamship for the April 9-12 trip sponsored by the Cultural Affairs board. Each student would be re­ sponsible for his own room and board while on the trip, but special rates will be arranged if the students desire, accord­ ing to Karl Dennison, C. A. board chairman. Students interested in the four-day trip during Easter va­ cation should leave their names and comments at the Mu infor­ mation desk by Wednesday, Dennison said. . —G. P.

The pledges were down in the catacombs; the actives were sacked out upstairs, not doing much of anything. Mary Ellen Krumbald was stick­ ing pins in an effigy of the housemother; Evelyn Zinsmaster was welding a manhole cover to her charm bracelet; Algelica McKeesport was writing a letter to Fabian in blood. Like I say, ‘ it was a dullish evening. Suddenly Dolores Vladnay stood up and stamped her foot, {‘Chaps,” she said to her sorors, “this is too yawn-making 1 Let’s do something gay and mad and gasp-making. Anybody got an idea?” “ No,” said the sorors, shaking their little sausage curls. “Think, chaps, think!” said Dolores and passed Marlboro cigarettes to everybody, for if there ever was a smoke to start you thinking, it is mild and flavorful Marlboro! T h in p come clear when you puff that good, clean smoke through that fine filter—knots untie, dilemmas dissolve, problems evaporate, cobwebs vanish, fog disperses, and the benevolent sun pour* radiance on a new and dewy world. Oh, happy world! Oh, Marlboro! Oh, soft pack! Oh, flip-top box! Oh, get some already! Now Geraldine Quidnunc, her drooping brain cells revivified by a good Marlboro, leapt up and cried, “Oh, I have a perfect gasser of an idea! Let’s hypnotize somebody!” “Oh, capital!” cried the sorors. “Oh, tingle-making!” At this point, in walked a young pledge named Alice Bluegown. “Excuse me, mistresses,” said she, tugging her forelock, " I have finished making your beds, doing your homework, and ironing your pleats. Will there be anything else?” “Yes,” snapped Dolores Vladnay. “When I count to threc^ you will be hypnotized.” “Yes, excellency,” said Alice, bobbing a curtsey. “ One, two, three,” said Dolores. Alice promptly went into a trance. “ Go back,” said Dolores, “back into your childhood. Go back to your fifth birthday, back to your birth, to before your birth, to your last incarnation. . .'Now, who are you?” “My name is Bridey Sigafoos,” said Alice. “The year is 1818, and I am in County Cork.” .“ Coo!” said the sorors. “ How old are you?” asked Dolores. “ I am seven,” said Alice. {‘Where is your mother?” asked Dolores. “I don’t know,” said Alice*. “She got sold at the fair last year.” .“ Coo!” said the sorors. {‘Tell us about yourself,” said Dolores. “ I am five feet tall,” Baid Alice. “I have brown eyes, and I weigh 3200 pounds.” “Coo!” said the sorons. “ Ish’t that rather heavy for a girl?” said Dolores. {‘Who’s a girl?” said Alice. “I’m a black and white guernsey.1! “ Coo!” said the sorors. }‘Moo!” said Bridey Sigafoos. • i960 M ax flhnlm— • * + We, the makers of MarlborSi have our doubts about this Story.

Ed Smallwood of Evansville College and Jackie Moreland of Louisiann Tech were choices for “All American” amongst the little schools, for the, second straight year. Mel Petersen of Wheaton, Kelley Coleman of Kentucky Wesleyan and Jim McDonald of West Virginia Wesleyan are among the top five also. Predictions by sports editors are usually as accurate as results from playing the game “pin the tail on the donkey.” However, the hope that a label reading . . . “acclamation of accuracy,” will someday be ours, is very persistent. Oscar Robertson, former Indiana high school star and now Cincinnati’s leading player, will -undoubtedly receive a un­ animous vote to lead the nation’s all star choices. West Virginia’s “little iron man,” Jerry West is another who may be chosen without a doubt. Big Ten champions, Ohio State, will offer Jerry Lucas for a first team birth. And he will get it. Among the top ten secorers in the nation, Terry Dischinger of the Purdue Boilermakers is the fourth choice for “dreamteam” honors. Selection of the fifth player is highly debatable.

Professor Hopkins And Alfred Thomas Jr. Oldest Graduate’s Ideas Combine To W rite ‘A H istory Of ASU’ Valuable To A lm a M ater By ANNE LA R O CC A The straight facts told by a master storyteller transform dry history into a good yarn. Ernest J. Hopkins, professor emeritus of Journalism, and Al­ fred Thomas, Jr., registrar and director of admissions, have combined forces to make “The History tof ASU” a good yarn. Mr. Thomas has been gather­ ing and compiling historical in­ formation on ASU since he came here as a student in 1934. Mr. Hopkins has been active in the waiting field most of his life as a journalist, fiction writ­ er, economic writer, journalism professor and for over a year, chronicler of ASU’s biography. In December i958, during a discussion of the upcoming Di­ amond Jubilee celebration, the two men decided to put their resources together to produce a book to be published during the Jubilee year. With Dr. Gammage’s interested approval, they began to work. As the collaboration develf oped, Mr. Hopkins did added research and Mr. Thomas aided on the writing. “It became,” Mr. Hopkins said, “that rare thin?—3 rpal nnlTahni.atip*\ m thing—a real collaboration.” The book begins before the actual founding of the Territo­ rial Normal School and explores the reasons the territory found itself so short of teachers in the early 1880’s. The authors term the first part of the book “an educational western.” Follow­ ing the early history, the book covers the first 15 pioneering years under Charles Trumbull Hayden, the school’s founder; the 30 year administration of President A. J. Matthews, the three-year “depression” admin­ istration of President Ralph W. Swetman, and the 27 years of Dr. Grady Gammage’s presi­ dency. ASU’s history isn’t limited to an account of its administrators. The story covers the life of the institution as a whole. Student life, athletics, traditional stories connected with the campus, po­ litical fights in the legislature, and the growth of the institu­ tion itself are all part of the epoch. “The reason I wanted to write the book,” Mr. Hopkins related, “was because Ï knew there were so many colorful * B Y DAWN LA N D ER stories.

H O PKIN S Professor Emeritus of Journalism Seventy-five years ago, at Prescott, capital of Ari­ zona Territory, a haggard but happy crowd of pioneer legislators, newspapermen and legislative cilerks were getting ready to depart. Extra four-horse stages were waiting at the plaza. Leather trunks were being loaded into stage-boots. Fare­ wells were being shouted'with a good deal of caustic kidding. The “Thieving Thirteenth” Territorial Legislature, most riotous, worst-behaved, and most brilliant Legis­ lature in Arizona’s history, had wound up its business, seen two bills signed and adjourned. The date was March 12, 1885. There had been a bill-signing beremohy that morning, at which Territorial Governor Frederick A. Tritle had made good use of a quill pen. Tritle had signed two bills which the “Bloody Thirteenth” (as it was also called) had passed as its con­ cluding acts, the day before. Which he had signed first, we don’t know — the bills were twins. If he signed them, in their order of passage, the Armstrpng bill had come first, since it had been the first to pass in either house.

On January 5. 1885, before Armstrong left for Prescott, Hayden called a historic meet­ ing of Tempe citizens, at Peters Hall. It was going to be nec­ essary to donate the land for the proposed Normal School, and the Tempeafis dug down into their not-too-well-filled pockets and put up $500, quite a sum for that day, to buy five lcox wanted a new c o u n t y , Florence wanted a bridge, Tuc­ son wanted Yuma’s peniten­ tiary, Phoenix wanted the $100,000 insane asylum, the railroads wanted subsidies to build branch lines into Pres­ cott and Phoenix.

So it, too, came before the Governor on March 12. Tritle signed them both. They were law. Oddly enough, it was young Jack Armstrong of Tempe, grinning joyously, who was receiving the legisla­ tors’ congratulations. Senator Stephens, though he had ac­ complished the larger deal, didn’t seem so happy. There were two reasons for this — Tempe’s young, green .legislator had put it over on him very thoroughly in full view of the riotous Thirteenth, and — Stephens now would have to go home and face his Tucson constituents. They had wanted him to bring home the State Capital, taking it away- from Prescott. Instead, he was bringing them "only” a University, which didn’t exist as yet, except as a paper authorization that might or might not become a reality thereafter — time would ten. . i y Coeds’ Quality Improves Through The Years As Program , Academic Interests Increase By V E L V A R IC H E Y The “fabul°us 50’s” at ASU have seen exploding develop­ ments in campus growth and improvement. One of the larg­ est developments during this period has been the total pro­ gram for women students—both in quantity and quality. Housing of women students has risen from approximately 600 students in 1952 to 1,303 in the fall of 1959-60. During this period, freshmen women’s resi­ dence halls and a women’s hon­ or hqll have been established. “The quality of young women who have attended ASU has al­ ways been the highest, I feel, but the difference is that now with the many new sororities, honoraries, and the • national reputation of this compus in women’s student government, we are just getting more of these young women of ability,” Catherine G. Nichols, associate dean of students, stated. Dean Nichols continued to Such was Founders'^ Day, for say, “All students, since the sputniks, have become more serious as the emphasis has shifted to quality in education and as academic standards have been raised on college campus­ es. That women have improved scholastically is evidenced by the grade indices for the first semester of 1959-60 just releas­ ed from the registrar’s office in which we find all classifica­ tions of women students in all of our four colleges, with the exception of freshmen women in Applied Arts, leading in scholarship.” Accordjng to Miss Mary L. Bunte, secretary to acting presr ident Richardson, ASU now has a definite prograih for women “which is a wonderful thing;” Miss Bunte came to ASU in 1933, and in 1938 was appointed advisor to Pleiades, the only women’s honorary on campus at that time. She feels that by encouraging scholarship and participation, honoraries such as this one have greatly helped the quality of the campus. Also Nobody cared anything one. way or the other about the proposed Normal School, which was what Judge Hayden and Armstrong himself expressly wanted, since Arizona had a serious teacher-shortage at the time. He Gets Chairmanship Armstrong—had something real to trade with when the committee appointments were announced. Speaker Rollins, a Pima man, had made him Chairman of the Education Committee of thè House. This meant that he could sew up the University proposition in his House committee and probably keep it from passage if he chose. Armstrong wasn’t opposed to the University - at -, Tucson idea, neither was Judge Hayden. But, by keeping his mouth shut and hinting from time to time that the Univer­ sity ought to be in Maricopa County, this capable young legislator proceeded to throw a quiet scare into the Univer­ sity - at - Tucson forces.

Stephens, in order to form the coalition had ¡given his word to his fellow coalition mem­ bers .that he would oppose Capital removal. Then, down in Tucson, the voters had held a red-hot mass meeting, de­ claring they wanted the Capi­ tal, and nothing else. They had contributed a $4,000 “sack” in that cause. It was when a cou­ rier arrived from Tucson with this “sack” that the legislators found out what a dilema Ste­ phens was in. Either the Senator could go with his voters and smash his own coalition, or he could stay with his pledge to the coalition and lose his political neck at home.

He told the legislators that the “Thieving Thirteenth” had been a terrible legislature, but cou d redeem itself by establishing higher education in the Territory. The House responded. It gave the University measure an 18-5 vote, Armstrong’s vote being cast early among the 18. So the twin measures were passed — by a trade the Tuc­ son forces hadn’t had to make at all, but which they had con­ vinced themselves they would have to make. The Legislators loved it. Not long afterward, it was a Tuc­ son group that recommended Armstrong of Tempe to Presi­ dent Cleveland, for the Gover­ norship Of Arizona. So, on March 12, Governor Tritle signed both bills. This is why both Arizona State Uni­ versity and the University of Arizona now are celebrating the same seventy-fifth anni­ versary, of their common Founders Day. Legally, though not operatively, the two are twins. As noted above, it had been a Pima County man, Speaker R. G. Rollins of the House/ who had given Jack Armstrong the trading - position he used so cleverly, in the first place. It was Roilins who had ap­ pointed Jack‘Armstrong Chair­ man of the House Committee on Education, thereby -giving him -the whiphand *c*ver the pro-University forces. There’s no record as to how Speaker Rollins felt about that, in later years. As to Sen­ ator Stephens, he had brought home “only” . the University, and his name was missing from the next Legislature.

Dean Tilden has watched the University grow from the small depression-hampered school it was in the ’30s to the august institution it. is now. ‘‘There were lots of advant­ ages in being associated with a small school,” Tilden said. “You knew all the faculty and most of the student body. Of course today things are much the same but the congeniality is limited to smaller groups out of necessity.” “Social life was limited to the campus because of lack of money and transportation but this didh’t deter student spirit,” the Dean said. “We used to have an annual football trip that was the highlight of the year. A train was chartered and virtually all the school would participate. This again promoted close faculty-student relations,” “The most popular place on campus then? Tha library. It was the only properly heated and properly coaled building around- Too bad it’s not that popular now.” As to the future of the Col­ lege of Liberal Arts, Dean Til­ den sees more emphasis put upon a good liberal education in the next ten years than has been in the past. “American education as a whole is- returning to basic liberal education «mainly be­ cause of the past experiences of many U.
