WHITTIER COLLEGE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

Dear Fellow Alumni, The achievements of the Alumni Association have increased over the past years until it has reached its present height. This has been accomplished through the dedicated efforts of our alumni officers, directors, and contributors. Despite our many accomplishments, it has become apparent to your Board of Directors and Executive Committee that the annual support of the Whittier College Alumni Body has not kept pace with the rising cost of maintaining the many services that the Association performs. During the fiscal year of 1964-1965, the cost of performing the traditional tasks of the Alumni Office exceeded the total alumni giving.

In view of the foregoing, your Alumni Officers feel that certain economies had to be adopted at least for this current year's budget. Inasmuch as the highest budgetary expenditure lies in the production of "The Rock," it was decided after much deliberation that we must cut the expenditures in this area.

In the interests of the year's budget before us, your Executive Committee has an obligation also to those alumni who currently provide financial support for their association. At the same time, it was the desire of the committee to see that every alumnus receive a copy of the December Special issue of "The Rock." It was therefore decided to limit the March, June, and September issues for the 1965-66 school year to Alumni Fund Contributors.

Production of "The Rock" and performing all other Alumni tasks costs approximately $5.00 per year for each of our graduates and it is hoped that each member of the Alumni Association will provide at least this minimum support. With contributions beyond these expenditures your association can materially advance the cause of providing a better Whittier College.

With the utmost conviction, I invite you to join now with the hundreds of us who are making the proudest gifts we can to the Alumni Fund.

by Dr. W. Roy Newsom '34 Dean of the College

We feel quite certain that regular readers of THE ROCK and all other friends of Whit-tier College will want to know more about the magnificent science facility pictured on the current cover. This is a brief account of the structure itself, the faculty and students whose professional and educational needs it was de-signed to meet, and certain factors involved in financing it.

Rising from tradition-steeped Hadley Field, five levels of ultra modern construction, cost-ing $3,200,000, will provide 86,000 square feet of floor space over a foundation 310 by 70 feet. The new structure will house the depart-

ments of biology, chemistry, geology, mathe-matics and physics and thus bring together closely related activities which for years have been inconveniently conducted in separate lo-cations about the campus. The previously iso-lated departmental book and periodical col-lections will be expanded and grouped into a spacious science library on the second level readily accessible from all the laboratories.

The building was designed by Allison and Rible, Architects for the Wardman Library. The specifications call for precast concrete window wall units and exposed concrete frame over steel construction. It will be completely air conditioned. Both style and construction are "contemporary functional," emphasizing flexibility in the disposition of research and laboratory areas. The main corridor on each floor will extend through the full length of the building. It will be off-center so that two series of laboratories, one wider than the other, will be available. All partitions will be non-bearing and therefore movable without need for major structural alterations. Thus, as fu-ture needs demand altered arrangement, this basic building may be adapted efficiently. A striking feature is the fifth level which will include the chemical store rooms, animal sur-gery and live stock facilities, a glass house and

Science

lath house, a complete central plant growth laboratory, and a fifty-foot short wave antenna for F-M broadcasting.

It should be observed at this point, how-ever, that the "advancement of science" is not the primary objective at Whittier College. We seek rather to advance the young scientist. In the last report of the National Research Coun-cil on the baccalaureate origin of science doc-torates, Whittier ranks second among the lib-eral arts colleges of the Southwest in the number of graduates earning doctoral degrees. The new facility will materially and psycho-logically improve and extend the splendid role of the Whittier faculty in teaching and inspir-ing students to develop their individual tal-ents.

Top priority of the educational objective by no means precludes an active and virile faculty research program, but is complemented by it. Although the students' interest and progress

is the first consideration of the Whittier Col-lege staff, recognition of the need to contribute to scientific progress results in a continuing program of faculty research which effectively feeds back into the teaching process. The many areas currently under investigation by Whittier College scientists testify to the qual-ity and scope of their progressive interests.

In the biology department, several research projects are currently under way. Dr. Lois James, chairman of the department, is doing work on the relationship of morphological characteristics to variability of enzymes. She is continuing her basic research upon the fatty acid content in leaves of the different varieties of macadamia trees. It has been shown that the types and concentrations of fatty acids in these leaves affect their resistance to frost damage. Dr. Tom Harriss, while continuing his studies on mites and on amphibian parasites, is also beginning investigations in the field of comparative histology. Dr. John Arcadi is studying the histochemical characteristics of a hormone-induced kidney cancer in the ham-ster. In addition, he is investigating the effects of drugs on the induced cancer. Dr. Arcadi is engaged in another study of the basic func-tioning of cells by investigating the effect of cancer-producing drugs on the skin of the gar-

den slug. In his study, he hopes to learn what chemical mechanisms are involved in the pro-duction of mucous by a single-celled gland. Dr. Inez Hull is investigating the growth of bacteria in various foods as they are normally prepared and held at serving temperatures. She is principally concerned with the growth of bacteria which occurs in foods held in gas or electric ovens for varying periods of time prior to consumption. John Price is continuing his work in gas-liquid chromatography of the gibberellins and the use of histochemistry to localize plant hormones.

In chemistry, work is being done by Dr. Edith Sherwood on the synthesis of coumarin and its derivatives. Coumarin derivatives are widely distributed in the plant kingdom and methods of synthesizing them have been a subject of considerable interest. Dr. Phillip hoff, supported by a grant from the Research Corporation of New York, is concerned with the mechanism of bromine reactions of silver salts of organic acids. He also has projects under way in the analytical use of non-aqueous solvents. Dr. Don L. Armstrong, for the past nineteen years Director of Chemistry and senior scientist for Aerojet General Corpora-tion, and recently appointed to the Whittier staff, now turns his research efforts toward the

problem of desalination which is demanding intensive technological attention. He also is initiating investigations into several uncom-mon solvents such as DMSO (dimethyl sul-foxide) and DMFA (dimethyl formamide). These solvents provide unusual and interest-ing media for organic chemical reactions.

Geological projects by Dr. Beach Leighton, chairman of the geology department, include extensive examinations of the Puente Hills with particular attention to the identification of areas of possible slippage that may result in landslides. He has received several commen-dations for his pioneering work in this field of engineering geology.

Dr. Randolph Pyle, chairman of the mathe-matics department, is extending his research on multilinear vectors in four or more dimen-sions and non-square determinants. He is en-gaged also in the geometry of Lorentz space as it is used in the theory of relativity. Hugh Maples is pursuing the applications of com-puter analysis and computer programming. Mr. Robert Newcomb directs the Whittier College Observatory.

Dr. David Bender, chairman of the physics department, notes that the Whittier College telescope has one of the dozen "moonblink" devices provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Moonblink is part of a nation-wide research project on changes in the light of the moon involving occasional red flashes from the lunar crater Alphonsus. Other research involves short wave transmis-sions through the ionosphere where certain types of radio signals seem to follow different

paths and arrive at a receiving station at slightly different times thereby causing con-fused reception.

Now just as the students and the physical facility together challenge the faculty, and the site and materials together challenge the architects and contractor, so both combine to challenge the board of trustees and adminis- 6

tration. In an era of expansive change where there is talk of the Great Society while reach-ing for the moon, the church-related college of liberal arts finds a place in the scheme of things. While desperately needed to leaven the hump of mass education, the independent college must meet inscapable competition in the standards of buildings and equipment in other institutions.

The competition is not only with tax-sup-ported institutions, but also is with the older private ones with great accumulations of en-dowment where "to him that hath" has too frequently been the rule of conservative phil-anthropy.

The present enterprise is a striking case in point. It began on the drawing boards with

what seemed an appropriate figure of two million dollars. It has now passed the three million mark. An additional million of federal aid is a fortunate "leg up" which serves to meet little more than the inflationary trend. We must therefore look forward - and we do so with abiding confidence - to the thought-fully enlightened giver who appreciates the vital function of the kind of college we are and the mission we mean to achieve. •

Whittier College staged its annual Homecoming for alumni November 6-7. The festivities began with a forty-seven unit parade through the center of Whittier led by Grand Marshal Dr. James Merrill riding in the gold Rolls Royce furnished by the Movieland Wax Museum.

Float entries were received from all eleven campus societies. With the theme "Tall Tales" or in some cases "Tall Tails" the individual societies went to work. This year's sweepstakes award was won by the Palmer Society for their depiction of Peter Pan. Other awards were won by the Metaphonian Society for beauty, the Athenian Society for originality and the Lancer Society for seriousness. Competing in the parade were nine local and surrounding area high school bands and drill teams, and selections were made by four judges from the Southern California Band and Orches-tra Association. Winners in the band division were: first place, California High School; second place, Montebello High School; third place, El Rancho High School. Awards in the drill team competition went to El Rancho High School for first place, California High School, second place and Montebello High School, third. Other high schools competing were: La Serna, Monte Vista and Sierra from Whittier Union High School Df s-trict; Mayfair from Lakewood; Kennedy from Buena Park; and Excelsior from Norwalk.

Following the parade, alumni and active members of societies held

brunches at restaurants dotting the Whittier area. Memorial Field was the scene of the rivalry between the Pomona Col-

lege Sagehens and the Poets. Holding onto a slim chance for a share of the conference title for three quarters, Whittier let that chance die before a spirited Pomona eleven who were not to be denied that same chance for a conference title. Final score of the Homecoming Gridiron tilt was Pomona 22-Whittier 17.

La Mirada Country Club provided the setting for the annual Alumni Association dinner-dance. A near capacity crowd enjoyed dancing to the music of 011e Gilbert and his band until the early morning hours. Much favorable comment was expressed regarding the new format of a Buffet dinner.

Dr. Wendell Hook, Whittier College chaplain, spoke at the church service held in the Memorial Chapel on Homecoming Sunday on the topic "On Staying Home." As part of Homecoming activities the Alumni Asso-ciation provided a floral arrangement for the chapel service.

The first in a series of Memorial Chapel organ concerts featured Herbert Nanney '40. Mr. Nanney, Stanford University professor and University organist, played to a packed house and very appreciative audience. A reception followed the concert bringing to a close the Homecoming festivi-ties for 1965.•

Veeh, an all-SCIAC second team selection last year. Hollister will definitely challenge Hunter for top individual honors in

the league. Next come the Poets. Bonham's team is somewhat of a question mark

in SCIAC circles. One thing is for sure - every team in the conference will fear them because of their history of winning. But whether the Poets can live up to their reputation or not will have to be answered on the court. Bonham has lost four starters from the team that finished third last season.

Gone are forward Bob Jarvela, center Joe Barnes, and guards Vernon Ross and Bob Weister.

Forward Joe Jennum (6-3), the team captain, is the lone returning starter. So the Poets will be a young team lacking experience. Two sopho-mores, 6-9 center Jeff Eckmier and guard Joe Venne (6-1), will probably be in the regular starting lineup along with junior forward Steve Waters (6-4) and either senior Ken Evans (6-1) or junior Carlos Barriga (6-0) at the other guard.

The top replacements figure to be junior forward Al Johnston (6-3) and senior center Bill Coats (6-4).

The Poets suffered two serious blows before their first game. Guard Jim Colborn, a sure starter, injured a knee in an early practice session and is out for the season.

Not too many days had passed until it was learned that promising 6-4 sophomore forward Bob Garrison would also have to watch from the side-lines because of a punctured lung.

These two rude jolts took away the high scoring potential of Colborn, the valuable bench strength of Garrison, and possibly a championship.

Minus Colborn and Garrison, Bonham's squad numbers 15 cagers. Besides Eckmier and Venne there are four sophomores up from Coach Ivan Guevara's frosh squad - forwards Gene Gaudio (6-4) and Warren White (6-3) and guard Ray Hansink (6-0) and Dave Gardner (6-0).

Rounding out the team are junior forwards Don Jackson (6-4) and Dee McGue (6-4) and sophomore center Ed Wilson (6-7).

Whittier averaged better than 80 points per game a year ago, but the defense was leaky, the passing was erratic, and team unity was lacking.

This year's team is capable of matching or even bettering the 80-point scoring average. It also looks like a better defensive unit, and Waters is one of the smartest passers and ball handlers to wear a Poet uniform in recent years. This should also be a solid rebounding team with Waters, Jennum, Eckmier, and Coats on the front line. Even the guard trio of Evans, Venne, and Barriga rebound like forwards.

The mechanical ingredients are there. If the 1965-66 Poets can develop

the team discipline and morale so important to winning, they could be the best of the SCIAC's "Big Three."

It may seem trite to say, but this has to be considered a rebuilding season for Bonham; and if a number of problems can be solved, Whittier College could quickly regain the stranglehold on the SCIAC that it once enjoyed.

These are the "ifs": if Waters, who has been drafted by the Chicago White Sox of the American Baseball League and has already been offered a substantial bonus for his autograph, can be persuaded to return for his senior year (You may recall the Dodgers plucked captain-elect John Hill off the Poet campus two years ago to leave an irreparable gap in Bonham's plans); if Colborn and Garrison can return to sound physical status; if Eckmier can continue to improve and fill the shoes of the "good big man" Bonham has been looking for for so many years; and if Guevara's present crop of talented freshmen, headed by such ex-prep stars as forwards Tom Read (6-5) from Costa Mesa and Hugh Fenderson (6-2) from Centennial, center Mike Noonan (6-5) from Alhambra, and guards Dani Thomas (6-1) from West Torrance and Chip Morvay (5-11) from Newport Beach, can survive the rigors of adjusting to college life.

Whittier's basketball future rests on the end results.01

Whittier College Associates Set 1965-66 Goal at $35,000

The Whittier College Associates under the leadership of William F. Krueger '33 have set a goal of 250 members for the 1965-66 school year. They plan to raise a total of $35,000 for construction of the steel and con-crete bridge leading to the main, second-story entrance of the new Science Building. Krueger stated that his organization plans to solicit members through direct mail appeals and personal solicitation with alumni and friends of Whittier College. Membership in the Associates has steadily risen since its founding in 1960 with a high of 176 members in the 1964-65 campaign year. Formed for the advancement of Whittier College, the Associates have raised over $96,000 which has been used to construct tennis courts on the east end of the campus, finance construction of 2,000 seats in Memorial Stadium and provide books for the new Bonnie Bell Wardman Library.

Krueger is encouraging all persons who have a desire to see Whittier College advance at this critical time in its history, to join the Whittier College Associates. Membership is extended to those persons who make annual contributions of one hundred dollars or more to Whittier College. These gifts will be used this year to help provide a much needed science facility on the campus. Memberships can be paid on a monthly, quarterly or on a semi-annual basis.

Serving with Krueger on the Board of Directors are: Albert E. Madden '25, vice-president and head of the Membership Committee; John A. Arcadi '46e, general fund chairman; Thomas V.
