New Master Plan Projects University of the Future
A revised Master Plan for Wright State University was presented to the University Board of Trustees for its consideration. The plan, covering a 10-year period, contains proposals estimated at approximately $80 million, according to WSU President Robert J. Kegerre1s.
Included are proposed buildings for the College of Business and Administration and the School of Nursing. Both would be located in the core of the main campus. Two present buildings in the Founders Quadrangle-Allyn Hall and Oelman Hall-are slated for expansion and renovation. Ambulatory teaching facilities are included for both on-campus and off-campus sites. Also recommended for major expansion is the University Library.
A utilities monitoring system to assist in energy conservation ha been included. Improved fire protection and electrical service capability are being recommended as are a water treatment plant and a hazardous materials storage building in a service complex.
The university also cites specific needs for roadways, parking structures, a student center, and an auditorium.
• Wright State University Dayton, Ohi<? 45431
In the 1977-79 biennium beginning July 1, 1977, Wright Stat has designated its priorities as being.
adding two floors to the Brehm Laboratory for Environmen al Research
a College of Busin ss and Administration building
a Laboratory and Animal Resources Facility (Phase I)
"For over a year, we have been preparing a Master Plan which will indicate the university's priorities and, at the same time, identify the academic and service areas most in need of expansion," Dr. Kegerreis said.
"By 1980, we expect our enrollment to increase gradually from the present levels of around 13,000 students. Conservative estimates place our growth by 1980 at 7. 5 percent compounded over present levels.
"But the planned expansion of physical facilities is not prompted by expected increased enrollment as much as it is by the university's need to have additional

space to properly service 1t present students. Each year, we virtually outgrow another building." Dr. Kegerreis said. "At present, Wright State has the least amount of space per FTE (full-time equivalent) student of any of the twelve state universities in Ohio."
Dr. Robert T. Conley, vice-president and director of planning and development, said, "We have 624,469 square feet of usable space for classrooms, laboratories, offices, libraries, athletics, and other uses. According to the Ohio Board of Regents guidelines, we will need another 333.655 square feet-primarily in the libraries, instructional laboratories and offices-by the turn of the decade to meet the needs of our students, faculty, and staff."
The WSU Board of Trustees will send the recommendations to its Buildings and Grounds Committee for review and further consideration.
Nominations for the Third Annual Wright State University Alumni Association Award for Teaching Excellence are now being taken from the almost 5,000 seniors, graduate students, and Alumni Association members eligible to submit nominations.
The eligible individuals have been sent needed information to bring to the attention of the Association's Committee on Teaching Excellence Awards the teachers who, in their opinion, distinguished themselves in their profession. The award are presented at the annual commencement ceremony.
(1) Four awards are made each year; each recipient is recognized for excellence in teaching and presented · with a certificate of achievement in teaching excellence.
(2) One of the four recipients is selected to receive an award for $1,500, and a medallion and chain to be worn with academic regalia for a one-year period or until a new recipient is named.
It is intended that these awards will be made yearly by the Committee on Teaching Excellence Awards of the Alumni Association unless in the judgment of the
committee no suitable nomination is brought to their attention.
Any full-time faculty member who has been on the staff of Wright State University for two or more complete academic years is eligible if nominated by a validated individual.
The members of the Wright State University Alumni Association feel that recognition for teaching excellence should go to teachers who convey infectious enthusiasm to their students so that learning is significant both in personal terms and in relation to each student's own

------,~ociation Board Each fall four seats on the Board of Directors of the WSU Alumni Association are filled as prescribed by the constitution. This year four members were elected for three-year terms, and a fifth was elected to a one-year term created by the resignation of a board member. Those elected were: Jean Long, Karla Moran, Darrell Vickers, John Curp, and Jim Mack (for the one-year term).
These new board members were introduced to the other board members at the first quarter meeting and are now hard at work dealing with Association business. At the meeting the board also took action to fill a seat vacated since the election. Andy Winchek was elected to fill the term until the next general election.

Hoehn Heads New Office of Faculty Development
Dr. Lilburn Hoehn, professor of education, will direct Wright State's new Office of Faculty Development, according to an announcement by Dr. John V. Murray, vice-president and vice-provost for academic affairs.
Hoehn, who also serves as coordinator of the educational leadership program in the College of Education, will spend only quarter-time on the new assignment during winter quarter and increase this to half-time during spring quarter.
The Office of Faculty Development was established by Murray at the request of the
Faculty Development Committee (formerly the Committee on Teaching Effectiveness) which is chaired by Dr. Marlene Bireley, also a professor of education.
In announcing the appointment of Hoehn, Murray said: "I am very enthusiastic about the opportunities available through the new Office of Faculty Development and feel that the Faculty Development Committee made an excellent choice in selecting Dr. Hoehn to direct the office. It has been a high priority of mine to have services available which can assist interested faculty in improving their instruction and I hope faculty will utilize these services."
Other members of the Faculty Development Committee, in addition to Murray, Bireley, and Hoehn, are: Waldemar Goulet, Business and Administration; Marjorie Stanton, Nursing; Barry Blackwell, Medicine; James Hughes, Liberal Arts; Rubin Battino, Science and Engineering; Ann White, University Library; and John Myron, Western Ohio Branch Campus.
The new office is primarily intended to provide resources and services to individuals and groups of faculty who voluntarily seek to improve their own instructional skills (broadly defined to include curriculum classroom transactions and related activities.)
"When I look at instructional improvement, it includes not only actual classroom instruction but also curriculum planning, organization, and evaluation," said Hoehn.
He also said that faculty members who wish to use the services of the office will be asked to complete short forms identifying their needs in the area of faculty development.
Some of the services which may be available through the new office are: consultation with departments or groups of faculty who may have common interests; identification of resource persons within the university who have special skills related to instructional improvement; and development of special seminars of interest to faculty members.
The Faculty Development Committee will serve as an advisory group to the office, said Bireley.
"The creation of the office is the culmination of a year's work by committee members. We felt the task of faculty development was so important that it was necessary to have someone with released time to direct and fulfill the tasks that have been identified."
New Week y Series Brings WSU to Channels 14-16
Tom Picciano, MBA WSU 73 (left), WSU instructor in Accountancy, told Channel 14-16 viewers "How Changes in the Income Tax Laws Will Affect You" in the first of a new series of Tuesday evening television programs, "Wright State Presents," hosted by Dr. Robert Clark, associate professor of education (right).
Future Tuesday evening programs (aired at 7:30) will deal with such topics as: "Wright State's Master Plan and Problems Facing Higher Education Today" (Feb. 22), Dr. Clark tatking with President Robert J. Kegerreis, "Helping Special Children Succeed" with Dr. Marlene Bireley, "How to Find a Job" with Barton J. Wechsler and
Craig Peter Rider, "Understanding Headaches" with Dr. Barry Blackwell, "How to Measure in Metric" with Dr. Carl V. Benner, "Helping Johnny and Mary Learn to Read" with Dr. Beatrice F. Chait, and "Can You Prevent Your Heart Attack."
School of Medicine Receives Excellent Marks
In its first year of educating medical students, the Wright State University School of Medicine has received excellent marks from a site visitation team of the Liaison Committee of Medical Education (LCME), the official accrediting organization for medical schools in the U.S. and Canada.
An evaluation team of four LCME members spent most of a week in a series of meetings with the school's deans, faculty members, staff, students, and affiliated hospital administrators.
"The team's review, following this intensive four-day evaluation, was very positive," said Dean John R. Beljan. "However, the full committee's decision, based on the team's recommendations, will not be available to us until after the full LCME meeting in April. At that time, we will learn, among other things, how many
students we can admit to our second first-year class." Members of the survey team were responsible for evaluating all phases of the school's operation, including its admissions procedures, curriculum design, administrative organization, teaching and research capabilities, and physical facilities.
The LCME is composed of representatives from the American Medical Association, the Association of American Medical Colleges, and the public and private sectors.

The following section is an excerpt from a newsletter sent to some former students, by & James Larkins of the Department of Modern Languages. Dr. Larkins has agreed to share some of his contacts with our alumni from time to time.
The Spanish faculty consists of Emilie Cannon, John Park, Arlette Clayton, Elisa Cambria, and yours truly. All have been active: in fact, three of our f acuity appeared on the program at the last Buckeye-AATSP meeting. I stayed home with bronchitis but managed to be appointed chairman of the election committee. I hope to see some of you at the April meeting, and be forewarned that next fall's meeting will be at Wright State. Arlette will be leaving in June, since her husband has been transferred to Alabama. I did not travel last summer, but many of the faculty visited such places as Mexico, Spain and Venezuela. New courses presented recently are the history of the Spanish language and a seminar on Garcia Lorca. The department added Russia to the cultural sequence, and it has drawn well. The history department is now offering a two-quarter sequence on Spain; some of you asked for this course years ago. The Spanish honorary initiated nine more, giving us a total of 35 after five initiations. As usual the Spanish Club has been very active and has presented some interesting programs and guests. A Table Ronde series, initiated last year, is continuing. Each f acuity member presents a paper or talk on a specialized subject, such as mine last spring on the transition of power in Spain. Thos.e of you in the area are invited to the next two on Spanish subjects. Bilingual education will be discussed February 23 and flamenco music on May 25. We start at 2:15 in 117 Millett.
My inability to attend the spring AA T's-OML TA meeting meant that I missed visiting some of you as I had done in past years.
Pat Anger (5962 Harshmanville, Dayton 45424) who received her bachelor's degree in English in '72, has been working for the Recreation and Parks Division of Montgomery County and hopes to return to . WSU to finish her certification in Spanish. Cecil Jones (218 Orth Dr., New Carlisle 45344) who received his master's in English in the class of '7 4 is as peripatetic as ever. In addition to teaching
at Troy High School, he visited Mexico last summer as a part of the University of San Francisco program; he sent me a card from Guadalajara.
Oscar Cano (5539 Bayside Dr., Dayton 45431) who received his bachelor's degree in special education in '75, logged even more kilometers, as he traveled through Spain visiting relatives and viewing culture firsthand. He informs me that his camera went wild in the Alhambra. Oscar is now teaching full-time at Park Hills High School in Fairborn.
Dolores Stamper Zesinger (RR 3, Logan 43138) who received her bachelor's degree in ~nglish education in '68, is continuing at Logan High School. The last time I talked to Dolores, she had a very active Spanish conversation program on radio. She has her M.A. in Spanish from Ohio University. Dolores has finished her term as vice-president for membership of theOMLTA.
Martha Manier ( 1855 Goss, Apt. 3, Boulder, Colo. 80302), a WSU '68 graduate, received her Ph.D. from the University of Colorado, completing a dissertation on the role of the cuento in the development of the novel. She is enjoying her adopted homeland, skiing, hiking, reading, teaching, and taking a well-earned vacation from academic research. She called early in January to say that she is hoping to get involved in a couple of worthy projects, one to teach Spanish to urban workers in night school, and one to work with chicanos. To my knowledge, Martha is our first Ph.D. in Spanish and probably in modern languages. Martha also has an M.A. from Wisconsin.
Alicia Ortega Mugica (632 Sheridan Rd., Apt. 13, Highwood, Ill. 60040) who received her bachelor's in Spanish in '72, finally was able to bring her mother to the U.S. from Cuba after all these years. Anne Deam, my wife, and I had the pleasure of eating lunch with Sra. Ortega while she was visiting relatives in the area. Alicia teaches Spanish and Latin-American history in a high school in the greater Chicago area. I should also mention that Alicia's brother was also able to come to the U.S. via Spain and Canada. Alicia has an M.A. from Ohio State.
Anne Deam (2358 N. Limestone, Apt. 202, Springfield 45503), who also graduated !n '72 with a bachelor's degree in Spanish, and received her master's in Spanish from Ohio State, continues as a full-time French teacher at Wayne High School after enjoying one class in Spanish last year.
Jennifer Zehring (7835 N. Main, Dayton 45415) who received her bachelor's degree in French education in '71, is at Mad River JHS, and the strike at the beginning of the school year occupied her time.
Rita Caton (4115 Eckworth Dr., Bellbrook 45305) received her bachelor's degree in secondary education in the class of '7 4. I send her some translating and tutoring assignments from time to time, and wish her luck! She teaches French in Fairborn's evening program.

Jamie G. Ruiz (JUSMG-MAAG, APO NY 90285), received her bachelor's degree in English from WSU in '75. She has kept me up to date on the political situation under Juan Carlos, and I look forward to hearing from her and receiving the materials she sends. A recent visi'tor to the peninsula also informs me that Jamie is now a Spanish TV personality, via commercial messages, and is the Estee Lauder representative at Torrej6n AFB. When we gqreed that Spanish TV needed
improvement I did not know she would get that personally involved! If she follows the American route, maybe we'll see her in something like "Las Angelitas de Carlitos" before long.

No Hopes for NCAA Bid
By David Stahl Sports Information Director
With a 7-10 record going into a road game at Cleveland State, the future for the Raider basketballers held no hopes for an NCAA tournament bid this year. However, for a young, inexperienced squad, this comes as no surprise.
First of all, the Green and Gold has faced the most demanding schedule in WSU history. Of the ten losses WSU has suffered this year. three have been to Division I schools with outstanding records. Cincinnati is ranked second in the nation; Miami has high hopes of taking the Mid-American Conference title; and Wisconsin-Milwaukee is off to a 10-2 start.
Two losses were to Northern Kentucky, which stands a good chance for a Division II bid with its 10-3 record, and to North Dakota, which is ranked among Division II schools receiving votes in the NCAA poll.
The Raiders at this writing have yet to face the likes of Youngstown State (10-3), Bellarmine (9-3), Eastern Illinois twice, and Cleveland State twice. While it is not an inviting schedule for a young squad, the Raiders have been out of only two games this season, including several games on the road when there seemed to be a lid on the basket.
True, most teams have difficulty winning away from home. However. the Raiders' performance at Wisconsin-Milwaukee. where UW-M is 9-0 this season. left some positive points.
Two sophomores have shown definite signs of improvement in many facets of the game. Since the start of the 1977 portion of the schedule, Dan Huguely has improved his scoring and consistency to a 13.4 average in six games and an excellent shooting percentage of 57.6. In a string of eight games, Bob Schaefer averaged nearly 20 points per game.
While both players were scoring from the perimeter, WSU still lacked points inside. If both Huguely and Schaefer continue their progress, the inside game may come along when teams are forced to cover these big forwards more closely. It's encouraging to think about when looking ahead to next season.
The home crowd has seen some excellent basketball this season at times compared to last year. WSU's showing in a 83-81 win over Armstrong State was one of the best-played games ever in the PE Building. The Raiders shot over 62 percent from the field and did an excellent job of keeping Armstrong's 6-11 center from scoring.
Whenever tournment talk starts, Eastern Illinois begins to play outstanding basketball. The Panthers were 7-7 at this time a year ago, but ran off 15 straight wins to carry them to a third-place finish in the Division II finals. The game on January 31 was the final game televised over WDTN-TV (Channel 2).
Some good news reached the roundballers when fall quarter grades were reported. The 14 varsity players earned a combined grade point average of 2. 78 topped by Alan McGee's perfect 4.0. Other players receiving over a 3.0 were Neil Reif (3.5), Rick Poole (3.32), Curt Shellabarger (3.307), Bill Wilson (3.142), and Dan Huguely (3.0).

A lack of practice time has been a result of the energy crisis for coach Lee Dexter's swimmers. Improving on last year's second-place finish in the OAISW meet may be just about impossible with the lack of depth and practice time. However, the Raiders should take more than their share of first-place finishes.
Some of the top individuals for WSU should be junior Barbara Woodrow in the 200 and 400 individual medley and the backstroke. Sophomore Maria Miniaci should be strong in both the 50 freestyle and 50 butterfly while sophomore Barbara Titsch should repeat as the champion in all

three breaststroke events. WSU's 400 medley relay team which took all-America honors last year should be a strong contender for first-place honors.
One of the biggest advances made this year has been in diving with the addition of freshman Patti Williams. Her scores in both the one- and three-meter dives have met qualification standards for the nationals to be held in Providence, Rhode Island, on March 17-19.
Out of 22 events in last year's meet, Wright State captured eight first places, three better than Bowling Green and Miami each with five.

WSU's Photographic Services didn't climb to the gym's rafters to get these bird's-eye views of a successful Raider scoring attempt against Miami. Instead, they mounted a motor-driven, remotely controlled 35 mm camera with a telephoto lens near the ceiling of the PE Building in
action. President Robert J. Kegerreis Wray became a sports photographer for the occasion-using a modulated infrared beam, he tripped the shutter to capture this sequence of shots for the record.
Wright State's-wrestling team moved over the .500 mark with victories over Georgia Tech, Xavier and Cedarville to leave the Raiders with an 8-7 record.
Sophomore Jim Kordik upped his outstanding record to 16-2 at 118 pounds. Larry McCune returned to action after missing several matches with a pulled muscle and responded with four straight wins to leave him with a 9-3 record at 142 pounds. Senior Chuck Wray is 12-3-1 at 167pounds. ·
Letter from the Alumni Director
Now that you know my face (via the large mug shot in the last Wrightstater), many alumni have, as I had hoped you would, approached me to comment on or inquire about the Alumni Association or Wright State in general. I hope that when we meet, in the halls of the university, on the street in Dayton, or elsewhere, you will pass on your suggestions on anything you miss, (or perhaps would rather miss) in the Wrightstater. Tell me of anything you would like to see happen, (or hope never to see happen) in the Alumni Affairs Office here at Wright State. Please write or phone if you're not able to meet me personally.
In the past. you, as alumni of Wright State, have been called on to assist the different departments on campus in evaluating their programs and in planning for future courses. As alumni. you are one of the most valuable assets of the university, and will continue to be called on for your input in these and other areas. If we were to publish an Alumni Directory using the current address that we have for you, would your friends and the university officials be able to contact you? We need to have current information and addresses in order to keep in touch.
In addition to the critical evaluation input that you are requested to provide, you will also be called on in the near future to assist financially, in order to maintain excellence in education at Wright State. Anyone interested in assisting your fellow alumni in solicitation of funds for the Annual Fund is encouraged to contact me. We are presently mounting our first personal solicitation of our alumni group, and would appreciate your assistance.
