Uffner, Jr., '51 Editor The Challenge One of the most important and crucial epics in Oglethorpe's exciting history has begun. We have embarked on the greatest expansion and improve- ment program we have ever had. The tremendous physical enlarge- ment in store for Oglethorpe Universi- ty during the next decade is only a part of Ihe picture. We are steadily improving the appearance of the pres- ent buildings and grounds through in- tensive effort. The faculty are critical- ly analyzing our curriculum, modifying it when needed, culling outmoded courses and adding new ones to keep the Oglethorpe Plan always abreast of the times. Dr. Agnew is studying every phase of our operations in order that Oglethorpe will continue to be one of the finest educational institutions in the nation. The call by the NAAOU for your financial suport, via the Forward Oglethorpe fund, is unique for us, but not for our sister institutions. Many of them have depended on alumni an- nual giving for more than half a cen- tury. The request for aid which you have received recently is not a plea, but a challenge. The United States is in desperate need today for adequately trained peo- ple who can advance science, cope with diplomatic and economic prob- lems and deal expertly with all aspects of human endeavor. This need will continue indefinitely. The people who will solve this situation will come from colleges and universities like Ogle- thorpe The shortage in trained manpower, we are now experiencing, has not come about over night. It has developed slowly, as does malnutrition, through years of indifference to education. Sputnik I seems to have done more for education in this country than our CO-FOUNDER DIES Dr. Herman J. Gaertner died on March 1 at the age of 91. A co- founder, with Dr. Thornwell Jacobs and Dr. Benjamin Shive of the new Oglethorpe University in 1916, Dr. Gaertner was the first faculty mem- ber of the university and at the time of his death held the title professor emeritus. Until his retirement 1 1 years ago, he was head of the School of Education and dean of the graduate school. A native of Klausthal, Germany, Dr. Gaertner came to America in 1 880. He attended Ohio Northern University, Indiana University and Ohio Wesleyan University and be- gan teaching when he was IS. Surviving are his daughter. Miss Nellie Jane Gaertner '34 of Atlanta and four sons: Harold H. and Her- man Julius Jr. of Cocoa Beach, Fla.; Prof. Marion A. '20 and Paul C. '24 of Atlanta. Homecoming Saturday. May 3 most eminent educators have been able to do in a quarter of a century. It shocked people into the realization that education is important for their protection. They have also realized that it vitally touches every facet of our way of life and is the greatest single factor governing our high standard of living. It makes sense to support education, because one way or another, education supports us. There are many avenues you may follow to help, but which one is more natural than that leading to your real academic beginning your alma mater? Our ideals, our society, our very existence is being threatened. Education is our most powerful de- terrent. Accept your part of the chal- lenge to keep America strong and free by giving generously to the Forward Oglethorpe fund today! 13 STUDENTS HERE CLAIM 22 ALUMNI RELATIVES Thirteen students enrolled at Ogle- thorpe have relatives who attended this University. Relationships range from parents and immediate family to distant cousins and in-laws. Two of the fourteen are from out- side Georgia. Farthest from home is Joe Duckworth of Albion, Michigan, who also claims the most distant rela- tive, John Douglas King '56, a cousin. Ina Foster, our Lady Oglethorpe this year, is from the Gator State and is the sister of Mary Anne Foster '56 who also was named Oglethorpe's first lady in her senior year. Atlanta students who number rela- tives among alumni are Dana Lou Howe, daughter of Willie C. (Mrs. Roger) Howe '56, Martha Laird, daughter of A. Frank Laird '21, Frank Holley, brother of Ray '49, and Thom- as McCormack with two predecessors, his father. Dr. R. Frank '25 and brother Robert Frank III '53.

Africa Today A fascinating talk concerning "Africa Today" was given at Ogle- thorpe University on Sunday, April 12, by Dr. Gwendolen M. Carter, pro- fessor of government at Smith College. Dr. Carter, a former instructor of Dr. Cressy, stated there were three primary factors causing the great ad- vancement in contemporary Africa. First, a wide segment of the population is getting a broader and more ad- vanced education than has been pre- valent in the past. Second, industriali- zation has been taking place at an ever increasing rate. Third, the people are aware of the independence move- ments that have occurred in southeast Asia and this spirit is contagious. Referring to the various territories in Africa. Miss Carter said. "What- ever advances are made in one terri- tory has an impact on the others." Generally speaking, she said, "Their intention is to move to greater control over their own future." Dr. Carter's field of specialization is the British Commonwealth of Na- tions, with particular emphasis on the Union of South Africa. Her latest work on the "Politics of Inequality: South Africa Since 1948" has just been pub- lished by Frederick A. Praeger. Miss Carter has also visited and studied the political situations in Southern Rhodesia, the Belgian Congo, the Gold Coast, Australia, New Zea- land, India, Pakistan and Ceylon. She is the author of "The British Commonwealth and International Se- curity" and of numerous articles on South Africa and the Commonwealth. She is co-author of "The Major Foreign Powers", a leading textbook in the field of comparative government.

History by BOB OLIVER '57 A successful chapter in Oglethorpe basketball history was written during the 1957-58 season on the North At- lanta campus as the Stormy Petrels posted an impressive record of 18 vic- tories in 24 outings. The 18-6 reading is second only to the fine 22-5 mark chalked up by the 1948 team, the latter being the best in the school's cage history. The "road back" for Oglethorpe athletics has been much shorter than many expected when Garland Pin- holster was hired as athletic director at the beginning of the 1956-57 school year. In" his first year Pinholster guided his charges to an 8-12 record. As his second year at the basketball helm came to an end Pinholster com- mented: "We're very proud of the boys and our record this year; the spirit on the team, and among the student body, was excellent." Personnelwise, there were but two major additions to this season's club over the team that posted the 8-12 slate a year ago. Coach Pinholster accredits most of the improvement to "more experience with the offense and better spirit and greater effort." However, the two additions cannot be overlooked. Freshman guard Wayne Dobbs and junior college transfer John Mobley added strength to the club. Dobbs, who is destined to be an outstanding player for Oglethorpe, had a good rookie season. Mobley, who stands 6-5, came on strong at the sea- son's end after a slow start and proved to be a definite asset on the back- boards. But returnees from the 1956-57 club carried most of the load: Eddie Starnes, Bruce Hauck, Billy Carter and Scotty Shamp. Senior Starnes led all scorers and rebounders, averaging better than 15 points and some nine rebounds per outing. Hauck had his best scoring year in his three seasons on the Petrel club; Carter was second only to Starnes in the point-getting derby and continued his ball-hawking ways; and Shamp's work on the back- boards more than offset his on-again- off-again scoring habits. Joe Sewell, who fires at the basket from the portside, was sidelined the first half of the season with glandular fever, but came on to win a starting berth at guard as the campaign closed. Freshmen John Powell and Scott Stevenson and senior Jimmy Clower April, 1958 Baseball Baseball has returned to the Ogle- thorpe campus after a one year lapse. The momentum of previous seasons has been lost, so the 1958 team must begin from scratch. Coach Pinholster feels that it is in "much the same position as basket- ball was last year." He stated "we have several fine players, but our main problem is that we don't have enough good players, especially at the key positions." This is understandable, for the 1958 edition has but 1 1 men on the squad. Most of the players are not assigned to play one position as is the usual case. For example, when Joe Sewell, our only pitcher with previous experi- ence has to be pulled, he goes to first base. Joe Duckworth moves from first to third. Third baseman Bruce Hauck catches so catcher Billy Carter can pitch. This is hardly an enviable situ- ation for a coach, even one as able and imaginative as Pinholster. Another interesting item is that nine of the eleven were on the basketball team including cage manager Ted Bay- ley, who plays right field. John Mobley, the tenth member, is expected to re- join them in a week or two. John was married recently. Concerning what we can expect from the present nine, Pinholster said, HOMECOMING. SATURDAY. MAY 3 rounded out the nine-man squad. Clower, Starnes and Hauck will be lost to graduation but Pinholster feels he can fill their places with sev- eral strong prospects in the offing for next year. In chalking up their 18 victories the Petrels captured dual wins over Jacksonville (Ala.) State Teachers, Georgia State College, the University of Chattanooga, West Georgia College, Valdosta State College, Piedmont Col- lege, North Georgia College; and single wins over Athens (Ala.) College, Shorter College, College of Charleston and Berry College. The six losses were suffered at the hands of Mercer (twice), Newberry, Athens College, College of Charleston and Berry. The Oglethorpe team was the best defensive club the school has pro- duced. In 24 games the opposition averaged but 50.9 points a contest; this was the third best in the country among NAIA member schools. Cagers Acclaimed Coach Garland Pinholster and three of his basketball charges came in for statewide acclaim at the end of the 1957-58 cage season. Pinholster was named Georgia small-college Coach of the Year by the Atlanta Journal "on the basis of Oglethorpe's 1 3-6 chart - - considering the inex- perienced personnel Pinholster was forced to work with." Eddie Starnes, Petrel center, was selected unanimously for the Georgia small-college all-state first team and chosen for the second team of the Georgia all-college squad. Bruce Hauck and Scotty Shamp were given honorable mention for both the small- college and all-college All-Georgia hoopsters. HOMECOMING. SATURDAY. MAY 3 "We expect to win some ball games before the season is over. Neverthe- less, this year will be enjoyed by our opponents. We expect to receive some degree of pleasure and happiness at their expense next year. We have sev- eral fine players coming in next year, including two or three pitchers with experience." He added, "We are cleanly and neatly uniformed, thanks to our Booster Club, and we are doing our dead-level best, thanks to the fine carry-over of morale by the boys from our basketball squad. Pinholster said, "with these things in mind, my deepest respect is ex- tended to these boys who are paying the price of an organizational year, and, who, even so, are doing their best to make their opponents live as hard as possible." He ended his appraisal by saying, "we're really not asking for sympathy, because we don't intend to give any when our time comes." The players and their positions are: Bruce Hauck 3B, C.

ABBOTT Dr. Martin Abbott, professor of history, has brought to light another little-known event of reconstruction days in his latest article, "A Mountain School in Tennessee: Some Recon- struction Letter". It appeared in the March 1958 issue of The Tennessee Historical Quarterly. It is little realized today, except by historians studying Southern history, that some areas of the South remained loyal to the Union during the Civil War. During the reconstruction, a great deal of Federal money was used to rehabilitate the freed men. However, no funds were allocated to help the poor whites, who comprised the southern Union element. Dr. Abbott's article relates the 1866 founding and early operation of a school, by the New York philanthro- pist C. R. Robert, purposely designed for that group. The school was located atop Lookout Mountain near Chatta- nooga, Tennessee, and it was prob- ably the only school of its kind. In addition to his regular teaching duties and fastidious research work, Dr. Abbott usually reviews a book a month for the Chattanooga Times newspaper. HOMECOMING. SATURDAY.

SATURDAY. MAY 3 Lost Alumni Do you know of Oglethorpe alumni who do not receive The Flying Petrel? If so, please send their correct names and current addresses to the Editor. The alumni office is working hard to bring the Alumni mailing list up to date. It is a continuing job, for over the period of a year an appreciable number move to new addresses. We are also steadily tracking down addi- tional addresses of alumni who are not on our active file. You can help in the following ways: 1. If you move, send us your new address immediately. 2. If your name or address is shown incorrectly on any mailing piece, please supply correct data. 3. Advise us of any alumnus who is not receiving current alumni mail- ings. Tennis According to Coach Garland Pin- holster, the Petrel tennis team is the "physically strongest" Oglethorpe has had in some time. Although they lost their first two matches, they show promise of having a successful cam- paign. Pinholster said, "as in baseball, we have several basketball players carry- ing a big share of the load. Seniors Eddie Starnes, Jimmy Clower, Bruce Hauck and freshman Wayne Dobbs are all earning three letters this year. Without them our sports program would be crippled. "Returning serviceman Floyd Hop- kins adds a good deal of strength to our team, as do Marc Weinberg, Joe Harb, and senior Ernie Stone, who is out for tennis for the first time. Harold Buck, Frank Simmons and Tom Dea- con have returned from last year's squad." Pinholster believes that this is the year the netmen will have to prove Oglethorpe is capable of fielding a tennis team of intercollegiate caliber, because prospects for the next two years look slim. He said, "we have new courts and an adequate schedule. All we need is production." Alumni Invited The NAAOU executive committee wishes to make it known that its meet- ings are open to any alumnus who wants to attend them. In fact, they urge interested alumni to come and help in the planning and executing of alumni activities. Meetings are held in different mem- bers' homes on the first Tuesday in each month at 8:00 P.M., with the exception of December. Call the Edi- tor of The Flying Petrel for more specific information.

Several Oglethorpe science students will accompany Dr. Cohen to the meeting, to hear papers read by eminent south- eastern biologists and to collect speci- mens for use in the laboratories. Are You Disappointed? We have heard via the grapevine, that some alumni are disappointed when news about them fails to appear in The Flying Petrel. The Petrel's policy has been, and continues to be, that alumni news is of the highest pri- ority. There is only one reason why your promotion, marriage, honor, and other items of interest have not been mentioned we were not advised of it. Information about YOU is the most important feature of your alumni quarterly. Will you send us some now?
