THE ALUM..NI I..EWS REVIEW Vol. 10 No. 1 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH October, 1955 See Page 8 for Homecoming Schedule October 24-29 Bigger, Better Homecoming Set Litchfield Is New Pitt Head The University's board of trustees last summer ended an intensive search for a new chancellor with the appointment of Dr. Edward H. Litchfield, 41-year old edu- cator, political scientist and public admin- istrator. Dr. Litchfield will assume his duties sometime after the first of the year. He comes here from Cornell University where he served as dean of the Graduate School of Business and Public Adminis- tration. Dr. Litchfield as the University's 12th chancellor will be at the helm of what promises to be one of the most significant periods in Pitt's 168-year history. HIS ELECTION culminated a year-long search for a man to head the University's new 10-year development program, re- cently announced by the Trustees. The program, which may cost up- wards of $100,000,000, will strength- en work in the humanities, social and physical sciences, and continue the growth of the professional schools "in order to win for the University a distinctive national role in meeting the contemporary educational prob- lems of our society." Dr. Litchfield has a distinguished record as a political scientist, educator, and gov- ernment administrator. Before coming to head the Cornell Graduate School of Busi_' ness and Public Administration in 1953, he served as director of civil affairs for the U. S. Military Government in Germany and worked to make it a self-governing nation. IN 1949 he returned to the United States and became a consultant to the Under-Secretary of the Army. He also be- came president of the Governmental Af- fairs Institute in Washington, D. C., and later the first executive director of the American Political Science Association. (Continued on Page 3) Dr. Nutting, vice chancellor since 1952, is serving as acting chancellor of the University. He will serve in that capacity until Dr. Edward H. Litchfield assumes office.

Pitt rooters and a good many of the experts predict our grid eleven will probably reverse these posi- iorog raMiii Kunfs tions on October 29 at the Homecoming game. No panther could take that lying down. Oef 7A Ofr% ** With last year's Chairman, Andy Schur- man, at the h elm, this year's Fall Home- coming promises to be the biggest and livlie,st ever seen on the Pitt campus. Forf the first time at the University an effort'has been made to schedule a large number of events in which both alumni and the undergraduate body participate. Among the highlights of a week crowd- ed with activities for old grads and future grads will be a Homecoming Mixer-Dance to be held on Saturday, October 2 9th, at the Pittsburgh Athletic Association Annex at 9:00 p.m. after the Miami game. This year's Homecoming, which will break with tradition in a big way, features some exciting new variations on standard Pitt events. For the first time the Float Parade, generally an event of Spring Car- nival, is scheduled as a part of the Home- coming Game. Theme of this year's parade is Disney characters. JUDGING OF THis event and of the fra- ternity and sorority house decorations will be in the hands of an alumni committee. In addition to the awards given in con- nection with these traditional competitive contests, the post-game dance will be cli- maxed by the coronation of the Home- coming Queen. According to Andy, well-known as an undergraduate 'Panther," and his com- mittee of 50 active Pitt alumni, the week shapes up something like this. Monday night, October 24, will start things off with a large number of Ex- change Dinners to which alumni will be invited by their undergraduate fraternity or sorority. Tuesday has been designated as "Fun Night." The main attraction will be the IF 'Sling" held at Foster Memorial to which each fraternity sends its number- one teller of tall tales. The champion "ora- tot" wins an appropriate prize. THE MAJOR EVENT on Wednesday will be the first annual "Stunt Night" to be held at Pitt. Alumni are invited to attend this slanstick exrravymyan7a which is sched- p.m. A small admission fee is charged, and proceeds go to IF and Panhellenic scholarship funds. Thursday has been left open as a mid- week "breather" in a busy Homecoming agenda. But on Friday, October 28, things re- sume in full force. On that date the fifth annual Medical School Alumni Scientific Day will be held with activities beginning in the morning and lasting till late after- noon. A major event will be the group's luncheon at the Webster Hall Hotel. The Varsity Letter Club Dinner is a Friday highlight and is scheduled for the Schenley Hotel at 6:30 p.m. on the 2 8th. FRIDAY EVENING activities center around a giant pep rally to be held on Pitt's "Vic- tory Porch," the Bigelow Lawn of the Cathedral. While students are busy at the pep rally, a specially chosen alumni com- mittee will inspect the decorations at the fraternity and sorority houses. For the best house decorations the winning chapter will be awarded the traditional brass chain with a new link commemorating the presen- tation. Saturday, October 29, is the day of the big gridiron clash of the University and its visitors from the Sunny South. Pre-game luncheons for alumni will be held at many sorority and fraternity houses in the Oakland area. An event that no one will want to miss is the mammoth Disney Characters Float Parade which will be staged as part of the Pitt-Miami game. The parade will be pre- sented either at half-time or at 12:50 im- mediately before the game depending on details which have yet to be worked out with the City Traffic Department. Alumni are advised to form blocks and cheer their favorite floats. HALF-TIME CERTAINTIES, however, are the dependably excellent University of Pittsburgh Band and another fine aggrega- tion of Miami musicians. From the Miami group, billed as the Miami "Beach" Band, with its cheer-leaders and majorettes, some SUre-fire entertainment is expected. Aftet he vame-which- acc rdinLy t th victory,"1 alumni and undergrads will have their choice of a number of entertaining get-togethers. "Coffee and ... will be served at Alumni Headquarters, 4302 Bigelow Bou- levard, for all and sundry after the game. Fraternity and sorority houses are throw- ing open their doors to old grads at the same time. With the big Homecoming Mixer- Dance that nigbi- at the Ballroom in the Annex of the Pittsburgh Athletic Associa- tion, Fall Homecoming Week will draw to a close. CIDER AND DOUGHNUTS will be served at the Mixer-Dance which is informal and free to alumni and Lindergrads of the Uni- versity. At it awards will be made by the Alumni Associations and others to the frat and sorority chapters who have made the best showing in house decorations and at the float parade. A new and important event will be the election and coronation of a lovely Fall Homecoming Queen which will be a high point of the evening. In announcing the arrangements made with the undergraduate groups 'fi 'the Homecoming, Schurman emphas: zei the fact that this is the first large-scalo3.ries of events ever to enlist the participation, of both graduates and undergraduates. "A big Pitt alumni turn-out," says'Andy.'' "will show them (the undergradu .tes)_ how it's done."

WILDE Second Vice-President Lois MANSFIELD Treasurer Dr. James J. Lee, prominent Pittsburgh surgeon and graduate of the Medical School Class of 1925, is the new president of the University's General Alumni Asso- ciation. His June election followed the completion of his last year's term as first vice-president of the organization. He succeeds Dr. Theodore L. Rohm as chief of the 49,000 member group. As first vice-president the association has chosen Mrs. Lucille Breeding Crozier, a Ed '34, Grad '46, an active f igure in alumnni affairs who last year served as second vice-president. Gus W. Wilde, a graduate of the Col- lege, class of 1943, well-known Pittsburgh attorney and former council member-at- large, succeeds Mrs. Crozier as second vice- president. Serving as treasurer this year is Lois Mansfield of the Magee Hospital, a Nurs- ing graduate of 1945. Miss Mansfield has represented the Nursing Constituent As- sociation for several terms. J. Clyde Barton was re-elected Secretary of the General Alumni Association. In passing on the responsibilities of the president's office to Dr. Lee, Dr. Rohm thanked all those who had contributed to the Success of the year just past and ex- pressed the hope that the coming year would prove even more successful. Blue Book Shows Loyal Alumni Gave $108,454.34 The Blue Book, Pitt's annual statement to its alumni on the progress of the Uni- versity's Giv ing Fund, reports this year a record total of $108,454.34 presented to the University by loyal alumni from July 1, 1954 till June 30, 1955. The report was mailed in September to the more than 11,000 Pitt grads who have participated in the Giving Fund since Its organization in 1947. A DRAMATIC ILLUSTRATION of the suc- cess of the Fund is a chart which shows the Fund's rise from the sum of $41,000 in the first year through last year's total of $106,000 to this year's record figure. Worthy of special attention in connec- tion with this year's total is the fact that alumni of the Schools of Medicine, Den- tistry, and Pharmacy are at present en- gaged in the Health Center Building Fund. The Giving Fund's one-hundred and eight- thousand dollar figure does not include contributions to this drive, but the Blue Book chart indicates by a dotted line addi- tional alumni support of $55,000. This sum represents the Building Fund's $220,000 in subscriptions divided on a four-year basis.

We have completed 10 years of unprecedented de- velopment inder the leadership of Dr. Fitzgerald. Now the trustees have set forth new goals, which, when realized, will place the University of Pittsburgh among the leaders of the world's great universities. "We believe Dr. Litchfield has the qualities of educational leadership and administrative skills necessary to attain these goals." Mr. Richard K. Mellon, philanthropist, a prime mover in the renaissance of the Pittsburgh area, and a Pitt trustee, added this comment: "Dr. Litchfield,' hie said, "will bring to Pittsburgh experience in the understand- ing of the partnership of education, buISI- ness, and government, which is so essential to Success of our modern societv. His elec- ti()n underscores Our belief that the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh Must undertake the role of building a great Cultural and edUca- tional center for the region, a center with- ouIt Which no industrial city can become and remain great."

AMessage From the Chancellor This is the first of what I hope will be inany two-way comt11in icat ions with Pitt alUmni. I have already met a few Of You and look forward to meeting many more Of You when I take LIP my duties on at fUll-time basis next year. During regular visits this year, how- ever, I shall be getting to know the tradi- tions and problems of the University and shaping broad plans for its future develop- menit in the pattern determined recently by the Board of Trustees. During this period I hope to have from Your Aluni Association, and from indi- vidual alumni, constructive Suggestions as to ways the University can reach new heights of achievement. I hope to have You tell me of ways in which the University can continue to con- tribute to your intellectual growth and professional Success long after You have left its classrooms. I hope to have your friendship. In return, I pledge my own best endeav- ors to lead Your Alma Mater to a Position high into the ranks of the nation's best colleges and universities. lems-financial problems, problems creat- ed by the rising tide of students, problemns arising from our determination to improve Our educational program- and to see that wvell-qualified Young people have a proper edLICational Opportunity, problems of in- tegrating our many programs into a true university. The problemns can be solved. But they can only be solved by a tremendous COOP- erative effort of the trustees, faculty, ad- ministration, Students, and alumni. Be- Caiuse we have far to go, we shall have to strive to be better than the best in order to improve our relative position. Our Joint task is to win for Pitt the realization of the goal recently set forth by the Board of Trustees as the central objective for this new administration. We have nlow Undertaken "to make Pitt one of the world's foremost Universities.- With the tremendous strides of recent years to bUild upon, with the vitality of the Pittsburgh renaissance to inspire uis, and with the devoted assistance of the great body of Pitt alumni, there is no tea- son whly this cannot be accomplished. 4 lars or more by an aluImnuJS to the Univer- sity within any fiscal year.

A conservative dresser, standing five feet eleven inches and weighing 180 Pounds, Litchfield is the man who, ac- cording to the New York TimesF in 1947, persuaded General Lucius D. Clay-when the latter wvas United States Military Gov'- ernor of Germany and Litchfield was his director of Civil Affairs-to "take off the kid gloves" in dealing with the Soviets. EARLY IN HIS CAREER, during his first Position as executive secretary of the Michigan State Merit Systemn in 1937, hie demonstrated those characteristics which were to serve in fostering his conspicuous record Of public service. In that capacity, hie quickly distinguished himself as a clear-th inking, alert, broad-visioned poli- tical organized and reformer. Perhaps even as a boy, Pitt's new chan- cellor began demonstrating his Oultstand- ing leadership qualities. He won a place on the sixth grade debating team in De- troit, Michigan, where he was born in 1914, and continued that activity through Detroit's Northwestern High School and the University of Michigan where hie re- ceived his bachelor's degree in political science in 1936. Michigan won the Big Ten 'debate championship that year, and debator Litchfield won a national inter- collegiate public speaking contest. DURING DR. LITCHFIELD'S career in government and education, the family has done a considerable amount of traveling which has included Central America, all of the European Countries, the Middle East and parts of Southern Asia. "With middle age crowding ine--the only sign being a slightly receding hair- line-Dr. Litchfield explains that he still thoroughly enjoys a track meet, football, baseball and basketball-as a spectator. Very few radio and television shows catch his interest, and while he enjoys both hunting and fishing, hie has little time at present to give to either.

October, 1955 THE ALUMNI NEWS REVIEW New Seven-Story E. & M. Building Opens In Time For Fall Classes GEORGE M. BEVIER Friend of the Unit-crsity Bevier, Eng '13, Aids E. & M. Library Thanks to the generosity of a Pitt engi- neering alumnus the new building for the Schools of Engineering and Mines has a modern, well-equipped library. George M. Bevier, Eng '13, a Texas oil man, donated $35,000 to the University for the construction of the library which Occupies the seventh story of the building. His gift made possible for the first rime a specialized library for the use of engi- neering Students. This is not the first instance of Mr. Bevier's generosity to his alma mater. In 1935 hie established a substantial fund as an endowment for the petro- leum engineering department in the School of Mines which has provided much of the equipment now used in the four petroleum laboratories. In the near future, two of the expanded and rearranged laboratories in the petro- leum engineering department will be es- tablished as the "Bevier Core Analysis Laboratory" and the "Bevier Drilling Laboratory." Born in Brookville, Pa. in 1888, Mr. Bevier graduated from high school there in 1908. He began his studies at Carnegie Institute of Technology, but in 1911 trans- ferred to the University of Pittsburgh's School of Mines, taking additional work in geology. He graduated from the School of Mines in 1913 and served as assistant geologist in Pennsylvania until 1917. During the following year he served as geologist for the Sinclair-Central American Oil Producing Company. He was geologist with the Atlantic Oil Producing Company for five years and spent a similar period of time with the Pure Oil Company. $1 ,500,000 Structure Newest on Pitt Campus Students of thle schools of Engineering and Mines are able this fall to enjoy the facilities of the most recently completed school building on the Pitt campus. The new $1,500,000 white-brick structure con- nects Thaw Hall and the Old Mellon Institute. Entrances to the seven-story building are on two levels, the lower on O'Hara Street and the upper on University Drive. Throughout, the new structure has been designed to give maximum efficiency in classrooms, laboratories, and offices. The lower floors are the largest with first, second, and third story connections with thle Old Mellon Institute and Thaw Hall. The first floor provides space for a number of laboratories of the civil, me- chanical, and aeronautical engineering de- partments. Included are a "moist" room, a refrigerator room, and laboratories for aer- onautic, soils, hydraulics, and strength of materials Studies. TiIE FIRST FLOOR also offers ample space for student activity and relaxation. A handsome, well-lighted student lounge Is provided as well as office space for the Engineering and Mines Association and The Skyscraper Engineer, the student magazine. The second floor is occupied by the mechanical and aeronautical engineering departments. In addition to the standard modern office accom mod at ions, this floor contains a number of classrooms, a dark- room, instrument room and two design laboratories. The walls on this floor and most of thle others in the building are fin- ished in a pale mist green shade, although several rooms show an alternate soft pink color. A deep, eye-easy green has replaced the traditional black for the blackboards and Student chairs of a new design offer a maximlUm amount of work and arm space for Young engineers. The civil engineering and electrical en- gineering departments share the third floor, the civil engineers occupying the wing adjoining Old Mellon Institute and the electrical engineers the wing contigu- OLIS with Thaw Hall. This arrangement takes advantage of the extensive electrical In the new building's Aerodynamics Laboratory Professor Campbell C.

Civil engineering facilities include two design laboratories and a surveying laboratory. THE -"NERVE -CENTER" of the building is the fourth floor. The office of the dean and administrative headquarters of the schools are here, as are offices and a re- search laboratory for thle Engineering Re- search Division. Thle fourth floor has class- room space, a conference room and library stacks which are connected by means of a "book-lift" with the Bevier Memorial Li- brary at the top of the building. The industrial engineering department Occupies thle fifth floor. Special features of this floor are these laboratories: Methods, Design and Computation, Photographic, and Production, Planning, and Circula- tion. There is also a conference room for graduiate semninars and a large lecture room with connecting Projection booth for the showing of films which are an important part of industrial engineering studies. On thle sixth floor the chemnical engi- neering department has its headquarters and a number of its laboratories, among which are these: Calculations, Research, Calorimetry, and Distillation. Other lab- oratories occupy quarters in the former AuItomo1tive Highway Building on the up- per campus. The George M. Bevier Memorial Li- brary IS housed on the seventh floor which is an addition to the original plans for the building. It offers a well-lighted study area, individUal Study Cubicles, and a periodical room, as well as a faculty conference room, New Librarian Miss Olie Johnson has been namned chief medical record librarian of thle Health C.cnter.

Six THE ALUMNI NEWS REVIEW October, 1955 Core Curriculum Plan Starts In College Program Provides Wider Horizons AN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM of great potential significance was initiated at the University this fall as experimental sec- tions of courses designed on the new "core curriculum" pattern were offered for the first time in The College. The new program is intended as a means of providing the undergraduate stu- dent with a broader foundation of general education on which to build his academic and professional careers. Dean of The College Stanton C. Craw- ford pointed out that the new program going into effect at Pitt is the result of more than two years of planning and study by faculty members. IMPETUS FOR THE PROGRAM, he said, came with a $25,000 grant from the Fund for the Advancement of Education two years ago. This grant enabled the fac- ulty to undertake a "self-study" which was a comprehensive analysis of the offerings in liberal arts and of the product of the liberal arts area. On February 24th of this year at the annual dinner of the Century Club an- nouncement was made of a $175,000 grant Course Offered At Geneva In an expansion of its services to West- ern Pennsylvania residents-in this case school teachers-the University of Pitts- burgh is offering this fall an extension program in general education at Geneva College in Beaver Falls. Designed so that elementary and sec- ondary teachers in the Beaver Falls area may either study toward advanced degrees or state certification, the program presents two courses during the fall semester. These two courses will be offered on succeeding Wednesday evenings, each meeting 15 times throughout the semester. Both are held in Room 16, Old Main, on the Geneva campus. Each course earns the teacher-student two hours of credit. Teaching the course "Principles and Practices in Curriculum Making" is Dr. Charles E. Manwiller, lecturer in educa- tion. "Philosophy of Education - Modern Tendencies," is taught by John W. Har- baugh, professor of education. Both are faculty members of the Pitt School of Education. This is the first time since before World War 11 that Pitt has offered extension courses in education in an off-campus set- ting. Similar classes were held at Geneva College and other points prior to the war. Geneva College provides all physical facil- ities for the courses including library f acilities. Further information concerning the pro- gram mayr beotiedb.otatn-h ler was graduated from the University in 1954 - - . JOHN C. MCCLOSKEY, former student at the University, was graduated in June from the U. S. Military Academy at West Point. In addition to his degree he received a commission as a second lieu- to the University by the A. W. Mellon Educational and Charitable Trust to fur- ther the core curriculum program. Under this generous grant, study was continued throughout the summer, and this fall the experimental "pilot" courses were presented for the first time. IN A REPORT issued by Dean Craw- ford and Dr. Putnam F. Jones, associate dean of The College, acting dean of the Graduate School, and head of the Self- Study Committee, the new courses, four in number are listed as follows: (1) Written and Spoken English. In- struction and practice in writing, speak- ing, reading, and listening. (2) Introduction to the Humanities. First steps towards an understanding of the nature and achievements of man as revealed in his language, literature, phi- losophy, religion, music, and fine arts. (3) Introduction to the Social Sciences. A study of man's social institutions, based on materials from history, govern- ment, economics, sociology, and geog- raphy. (4) Introduction to the Sciences. An * .for Teachers BY WARREN SHEPLER Director Teachers' Placement Bureau At the beginning of each school term an analysis is made of the placement activi- ties of the Teachers Ap- pointment Bureau. The results of this analysis help one better under- stand the opportunities and trends in the place- ment of teachers. Al- though complete data is not available for analysis at this time, a prelimi- nary study indicates some Mr. Shepler interesting facts. A tabulation of the geographic place- ment of our 1955 graduates and graduate students who became certified indicates that of 231 beginning teachers fourteen took out-of-state positions. The bureau assisted in the placement of 136 experi- enced teachers and of this number only fourteen took out-of-state positions. These figures clearly indicate that the vast major- ity of our placements are teaching in Pennsylvania. A STUDY OF THE SALARIES reported on our beginning teachers indicates an upward trend. The average salary paid the beginning elementary teacher is $3,129 and the corresponding figure for the sec- ondary teacher is $3,2 12. These salaries show an increase of approximately $100 for the elementary teacher and $200 for the secondary teacher over last years aver- age beginning salaries. For the inexperi- enced teachers who accepted out-of-state positions and whose salaries are known, the average beginning salary is $3,422. For all inexperienced teachers that the bureau assisted in placement in Pennsylvania, the average salary.is $3,130. The increased enrollment at the college level has been indicated in the large num- ber of requests received for college in- structors. The bureau assisted fifteen of our registrants in securing college and university positions. The salary range for these positions is from $3,900 to $5,500. In public school administration the salary range for bureau placements is from $5,000 to $7,800. The competition for ad- ministrative posts is very keen and from all indication will remain so. A COMPLETE TABULATION of the va- cancy notifications received by the bur- eau has not been completed for the 1955- 56 school term. However, a preliminary check of the vacancy notifications indicates that the need for secondary teachers_equa.led introduction to scientific principles and the methods of scientific inquiry. The report stresses the intensive con- sideration given the combination of ar- rangements listed above and the fact that such provisions represent "the best think- ing of the faculty concerning ways and means of applying its educational philoso- phy in an urban institution, where it is necessary to make college classes available to considerable numbers of pre-profession- al students and others who may not be enrolled for the full four year period, but where selective admission is nevertheless maintained, and where an enriched pro- gram should always be available for the many students who continue through the four years as candidates for a liberal arts degree." IN SUBSCRIBING to this educational phi- losophy the faculty and officers of The College are confident of its value and of the fact that the curriculum developed from it is an efficient educational instrument. "They are convinced, moreover," the re- port continues, "that this program provides the best means of meeting the needs both of the large groups of undergraduates teachers. Even though the 195 5-56 school term has started, the bureau is still receiv- ing vacancy notifications. Any education alumnus who is available for placement in a teaching position is urged to contact the bureau so that we might assist you in getting a position and at the same time help fill the gaps in the teaching staffs of our schools. for Women BY MRS. DOLORES FREUND Director, Women's Placement Bureau The Women's Placement Service invites all alumnae interested in finding stimulat- ing new positions to con- tact this office immedi- ately. Excellent job op- portunities; available for women both at the Uni- versity and in the busi- ness world have doubled during the summer months. Although most June and August gradu- ates have been placed Mrs. Freund successfully, a definite need exists for applicants qualified to fill many recent vacancies. The most urgent need is for graduates with secretarial skills. The growing de- mand for secretaries at the college level presents an interesting problem. Many un- dergraduates fail to realize the importance of stenographic skills as tools to supple- ment their academic college training. The results of this are evidenced by many un- filled job vacancies and difficult place- ment for otherwise qualified applicants. A MOST RECENT EXAMPLE of this type of unbalance is obvious in a long-standing vacancy registration. Stating an excellent salary, a large corporation is in need of a psychologist possessing skill in typing and shorthand. Other positions, available at the University, offer interesting work and stimulating environment in several depart- mental offices. Another large corporation, located a short distance from Pittsburgh, has three excellent positions open for women graduates. These are just a few of several job open- ings of this particular type in which typing and especially shorthand are absolute co- requisites with the college background. The importance of these skills cannot be over-emphasized. There are, of course, many other varied positions available, but the definite need fo oe ihseo)rni blt Grant Supports ""Pilot" Courses which an urban university is clearly obli- gated to serve and of the smaller group of exceptionally able students from which will come many of our future leaders. The latter group is especially important and must be given the best education we can devise. "The curriculum as now planned sup- plies good structure for the education of these superior students, but a significant enrichment of their educational experience would be possible in areas which lie out- side curriculum structure but are neverthe- less important in the total educational process--close contact with distinguished teachers, group living arrangements, ex- panded library facilities, analysis and eval- uation of academic progress, and the like." AT THE PRESENT TIME funds are being sought to accomplish these aims. The far-reaching value of such planning is also suggested. "This supplementation of the curriculum," the report states, "would have benefits for all of the students of The College, of course, as well as for the superior group. The result might well be to bring the University of Pittsburgh into the forefront of American liberal education." *for Men BY PAUL M. SHERWOOD Director, Men's Placement Bureau During the summer, the Placement Bur- eau has been able to devote additional time to alumni work. Records have been brought up to date and many alumni have been served. Alumni visits to the Placement Bureau have averaged 2.5 per day. Referrals to these alumni have averaged 3 per visit. Mail referrals A have averaged 2 per day. Mr. Sherwood From July 1 to Septem- ber 1, seventeen placements have been reported. A serious problem in placement work is the f ailure of alumni to report to the Bur- eau after their contacts with the com- panies to which they are referred. Limited staff, facilities, and time, make it difficult for the Bureau to follow up all referrals. Cooperation of all alumni in this matter will help the Bureau serve you better. The employment picture for the com- ing year still looks good. Current listings include: Accountant-procedures work in organ- ization planning department. Western Pennsylvania. Salary $375-450. Accountant-public accounting experi- ence (1-3 years) for internal auditing work. Pittsburgh. Salary $400-5 50. --Civil Engineer-0-10 years experience. sales personnel is still very great. During the Fall and Spring semesters, the Bureau will play host to approximate- ly 600 recruiters representing more than 300 companies. Some of the companies will make both Fall and Spring visits.

October, 1955 THE ALUMNI NEWS REVIEW Seven pff"InfAnripp A REVIEW OF PITT SPORTS NEWS Lit 'JI IN Miami Coach Scored First TD in Stadium When Miami Coach Andy Gustafson's team plays the Panthers at the stadium on Saturday afternoon, October 29, his sym- pathies will naturally be with the boys he directs. His memories, however, may wander a bit back to a day in September of 1925 when Gustafson, then a Pitt fullback, made some Stadium history himself. In a game with Washington and Lee, Gustafson dis- tingUished himself by scoring the first touchdown ever made at the then new stadium. Score of the game, incidentally, was Pitt-28, Washington and Lee-0. Gustafson's career in the Pitt football scene is a famous one. In the second game held in the stadium, this one against Lafay- ette, hie gained further renown by racking tIP the record for the greatest number of field goals ever made by a Pitt player- three in a row-to place Lafayette at a nine-point disadvantage. Before he graduated from the School of Business Administration in 1926, Gus- tafson had served tinder several of Pitt's most famous coaches-Doc Carlson, "Pop" Warner, and Jock Stitherland. In addition he is a memnber of ODK and is in the Owl Hall of Famne. Football Interest Soaring INTEREST IN PITT FOOTBALL, especially among alumni, is at a high pitch this fall because of the appointment of John Mich- elosen, a former Blue and Gold star, to the head coaching position. Michelosen was a quarterback for the late jock Sutherland in 1935, 1936, and 1937, sered for awhile as an assistant and head coach of the Steelers, and re- turned to Pitt in 1952 as an assistant to Red Dawson. Two new coaches joined the strategy staff Linder Michelosen. Vic Fusia, who Played college ball at Manhattan and was backfield coach at Brown, came to Pitts- bUrgh along with Jack Wiley, head coach at Waynesbtirg and one of the southwest- N'k No Bed of Roses for Pitts, Three Bowl Teams Next ki Varsity Soccer Team Shows More Promise While football gets the major share of attention in the fall, Pitt partisans will not want to forget that the Panthers have begun competition in a new varsity sport and have done amazingly well. Soccer is in its second year as a varsity sport at Pitt, and expectations were as the season got under way that the Blue and Gold would field one of the nation's stronger teams. Certainly the schedule, which includes the 1954 NCAA soccer champions, is an adequate test of the aggregation fielded by Coach Leo Bemis. In its first season as a varsity, the soccer teamn last year won eight of nine games and figures to be stronger this year. The increase in strength may be offset by the fact that the schedule is tougher, but the Panthers are playing some of the best. TOPPING THE SCHEDULE is Penn State, last year's national collegiate champs, while also on the schedule are such national powers as Duke, North Carolina State, Ohio State and Navy. Strong district teams, too, are on the schedule, in Indiana teachers, Slippery Rock, Grove City, Denison, Franklin & Marshall, Allegheny, and Case Tech. It was Grove City that slipped Pitt its only de- feat last fall. Four first-stringers from the 1954 squad were not available to Bernis this year. Goalie Don Clark graduated, as did the team's highest scorers, John D'Amato and Phil Rogers. Another first team member, Ted Phillips, was unavailable this year. There are top men returning however, in Irish Mike CLIlhane, who was on the all-district collegiate soccer second team. Norman Zanardelli and Karl Scheil re- ceived honorable mention, and they too are back for the 1955 season. AMONG OUTSTANDING NEWCOMERS are Jerome Bressanelli, who has a good chance to break into the starting lineup; Bob Cherry, also a trackmnan, who has a great deal of amateur soccer experience; Harry SuIZich, and Carl Lindstrom, a hurler on the Panther baseball team. All told, Bemis has 11 lettermen avail- able, four boys who won freshman numer- als and five booters who were on the JV squad in 1954. 1' CORNY SALVATERRA - who quarterbacks Panthe Wilkes-Barre soph, Harriers Winners In Last 17 Meets Pitt's cross country team, under Carl Olson, started the current season a record of having won their last 17 secutive regular season meets.

Pitt and Notre Dame were the only teams to beat Navy in 1954. PITT WON a 2 1-19 thriller in the Sta- dium but many a Navy man thought his team deserved a better fate, though Coach Eddie Erdelatz made no excuses. It was the kind of a battle that could have gone either way. Following the game at Baltimore the Panthers return home to play Nebraska October 15. The Cornhuskers went to the Orange Bowl last year. Bill (Biff) Glassford, a Pitt grad, heads up the Nebraska coaching staff. On October 22 Pitt plays Duke at Dur- ham. Duke happens to be the team that beat Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. The Blue Devils, coached by Bill Murray, racked up eight wins in '54 while losing only two games and being tied once. They're a power in the Atlantic Coast Conference. ANOTHER SOUTHERN team follows Duke on the Pitt schedule. Miami plays in the Stadium October 29 in the Homecom- ing game. Andy Gustafson, another Pitt grad who made good in the coaching ranks, bosses the Hurricanes and took them to eight victories in nine games last year. This year he is said to have better mate- rial on hand. omore On November 5 Pitt entertains the Uni- versity of Virginia, which is on the up- grade, material-wise, and hopes to give the Panthers a hard afternoon.

President's Message BY DR. JAMES J. LEE Preu,mlew, General Aluni Assoclatiolz At the beginning of this, the alumni year of activity, I send greetings to every member of the vast Pitt family and pledge myself and the other officers of the General AluiI Association to a year dedicated to the ad- vanceinent of Ocir university. On the campuis Of the university the senibls o amareddegree the beginning of te clendr yar.Characteristic of both is he an-e snseofrenewal, the feeling ofanticipation, andte same strong put- postof rsoluio* THISFALLtheUniversity of Pittsburgh, entrin it 16th earof academic his- tory islooingforardto one c)f the b r ighItest periods of its existence. Our work oSf the past decade is already evident throcighouit the Oakland area. From the im-posing new Memorial Field Houise clown to the present site of the General Alumni Association headquarters and the proposed site of the new Stuident Union and Men's Dormitory, we see a fcitcire in the making. Many of these Pitt strUCtUres-the Graduate School c)f Puiblic Health, the Schools of the Health Profes- sion, Clapp Hall-are as yet steel skeletons. Sonme, the Field House, Nurses Resi- dence, and the Engineering and Mines building, are conmpleted. Still others, the Student Union and the Men's Dormitory, are nmerely inked lines on the architects' drawing boards. THE BUILDINGS, new and anticipated, are only a part of the uninistakeable ex- citement at Pitt. The new chancellor, Dr. Edward H. Litchfield, begins his term of leadership at the university. This, along with 'past years planning should result in fresh ideas and new projects for the future. This fall will initiate a record period in aimiactivity. Last year's Giving Fuind total set a new high in alumni history. The Health Center Building Fund has enlisted the aid of many devoted graduates of the 28 Schools of Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy. Last year, too, saw splendid growth by the Century Club and extren-e- iy satisfying Telephone Contact. To those *who are active in alumni affairs and in university support, these facts are undoubt- edly well known. I mention them simply as matters in which loyal alumni may all take pride. LET ME rake this opportunity to extend aninnvitation to all of you, "To help your- self by fielping your university." There are twc) ways of doing this, by giving and by participating. By giving you are promot- ing the institution that awarded you a de- gree and thereby enhancing the value of that degree. By participation in alumni affairs yoci again become a part of your university and experience the rich satisfac- tion of close association with &he vital world of the University of Pittsburgh. Sometime this fall seaso.,i, visit the Oak- land campus and see for yourself the ex- citement that is in the air. Be sure to drop in at the alumni headquarters at 4302 Bigelow Boulevard and meet Clyde Barton, genial secretary of the General Alumni As- sociation. From him you can learn how You may be of most service to your uiniversity. We begin 1955-56 with high hopes for a big year for Pitt. Uncle Sam Might Help Student Union The University last month learned that it m-ight be able to finance construction of the planned student union through a gov- ernm-e~nt loan. Pitt officials were notified a new amend- m-ent to the Federal Housing Act enables universities to borrow money for dormi- tories and related buildings. However, a spokesman said no decision has been made on whether to rely on pri- vate sources or the government for the estimated $2_700,000 that would be needed for construction of the student union and a men's dormitory. Both buildings will be on ground now Occuipied by the alumni house and a park- ing lot.i The Student Union will face on Bige- low Boulevard and will be connected with the dormitory, which will front on Tenny- son Avenue. The dormitory will have facil- ities for 300 men.

The Plan Those planning to use the Remembrance Fund should call or write the Alumni Office and stare the namne of the person to whom the acknowledgment should be sent as well as the occasion and the names of those making the con- tribution. Contributions in any amount will be welcomed and checks should be made payable to the University of Pittsburgh Remembrance Fund and sent to the office of the General Alumnni Association, 'University of Pittsburgh, Pitts- burgh 13, Pennsylvania. On the same day that instructions are received the Alumni Office will mail to the person honored or to the family an appropriate card of acknowledgment with no mention, of Course, of the amount of the contribution. On that same day also a letter will be mailed to the donor indicating that all instructions have been completed.

About Our New Look As a reader of The Alumni News Review you have no doubt already noticed that the paper has undergone a considerable change in format. We of the General Alumni Asso- ciation think it fitting that such a change should be made at a time when the University -itself is embark- ing on a program of progress un- equalled in its history. We believe also that the new for- mar, with its greater space devoted to news of Pitt grads, its larger number of photographs, and its increased at- tention to events on the University campus which interest alumni, will meet with the approval of the big Pitt family. However, certain things about the News Review have not changed. It is still your paper. It is still devoted to the news that best reflects what is go- ing on at the University. And it is still eager to hear from you: where you are and what you are doing are important matters to uis. Always re- member to tell us so that we may tell others. >THE ALUMNI NEWS REVIEW OCTOBER 1955 am 1%
