EDITION Vol. 43 Published b\' National Oglethorpe Alumni Assoeiation, ()etoI)er, 1960 No. AXELBERG LEADS COMBINED DRIVE Oglethorpe University alumni kicked-off the first united Forward Ogle- thorpe Fund on October 12. Howard G. Axelberg '40, chairman, was pleased to announce that more than a third of the S27,000 goal had already been received. He added that the emphasis this alumni support. If every alumnus gave tial sums would be greatly encouraged The combined goal is the largest undertaken by Oglethorpe alumni ex- clusive of a building fund campaign. The Alumni Assn. has pledged to raise SI 5,000 as its share of the Fund for the Future. This fund was created by Dr Agnew to get Oglethorpe in position for a major expansion effort. Gifts earmarked for the Alumni Assn., go directly into this working fund, not into the Alumni Assn's. treasury. Alumni will receive^ some direct benefits, however, since some of these funds will be used to set up a De- velopment Office. This would include an enlarged and better equipped Alumni Office for improved service. The Booster Club goal is 512,000. These funds will be used mainly as athletic scholarships to qualified stu- dents. Before his account may be credited with these funds, a boy must meet admission and academic standards set for all students. The success Petrel basketball and baseball teams have had in recent years are partly a reflection of in- creased alumni support. A new library building, the center of campus life, and a new women's residence hall are urgently needed. While Oglethorpe has a good, small college library, it is felt that new, high- er standards should be set. A facility which will house a minimum of 100,- (Continued on Page 2) year should be to broaden the base of something, potential donors of substan- to contribute. October 29 DINNER - DANCE SET The attractive Hellenic Center on Cheshire Bridge Ru. wili again be ihe site of the alumni dinner-dance. This annual affair, after three suc- cessful seasons, has become the fall highlight for many alumni. This year it will be held on Saturday, October 29. Elmer George '40, chairman of the dinner-dance, anticipates the largest turn-out yet. He asks that everyone who is planning to attend notify the Alumni Office so that proper arrange- ments can be made for food and re- freshments. Speaking of food, the menu will include' Fresh Pineapple Supreme stuffed fvith fresh fruit. Sunburst relish dish, green tossed salad with choice of dressings, prime ribs of beef, au jus, baked stuffed potato with cheese and chives, green beans Amandine, rolls and butter, beverage and a multi- colored parfait.

Schmidt, '40, Booster Club president, announced that the fall homecoming will be held on Mon- day, November 28. Oglethorpe will meet Piedmont Col- lege's basketball team that night to open the 1960-61 season. While a week-end night would be preferable, Schmidt said that date was chosen because "the Petrels will never play another first game in the Field House." Highlight of the half-time cere- monies will be the coronation of the homecoming queen. A dinner is planned at Oglethorpe prior to the game at which time those in attendance may meet the 1960-61 team members. Put the date on your calendar, November 28, so you can be a charter member of the Petrel Watcher's Club in the new Field House. MISCELLANY The other day, while cleaning out some files, we noticed a folder entitled "Signs General." Giving 'way to our natural curiosity, we eagerly opened the folder and discovered the following cryptic mes- sage. POLICE . . . JA 2-7363 FIRE . . . . JA. 1-2121 FOR EMERGENCY USE ONLY A Message From Your President As you can tell from this issue of The Flying Petrel, things have really been happenmg m your Alumni Association, the Booster Club, and on the campus of Oglethorpe. It has been an exciting five months of this administration, and I trust that the various articles will point this out to you. Don't miss the articles pertaining to the new joint fund-raising project of the Alumni Association and the Booster Club under the leadership of Howard Axelberg, '40, This is a new and exciting approach to Alumni giving, and Howard is doing a terrific job. Another article you will want to read is the one about the Annual Fall Dinner Dance to be held October 29th. This project has been in the capable hands of Elmer George, '40. Elmer is promising an evening which all Alumni will really enjoy. It has been a privilege to serve as an Ex-Officio member of the Board of Trustees of Oglethorpe University. These men are really dedicated to the ideals and principles of Oglethorpe forward. Let me assure you, that under their guid- ance, the future belongs to Oglethorpe. As a closing note for this article, I want to express my sincere appreciation to a man who is really devoted to our cause. Dan Uffner, '51, who is the Assist- ant to the President of Oglethorpe, has done a magnificent job in all phases of our Alumni activities and deserves an enormous vote of thanks from all of us Thanks, Dan! On behalf of your Board of Directors, I ask the wholehearted support of each of you throughout the year in order that 1960-1961 will be all that it should be for our Alma Mater. Sincerely, O. K. Sheffield, president National Alumni Assn. of Oglethorpe University Combined Drive (Continued from Page 1) 000 volumes is needed. It will then be possible to have a wider variety of books and periodicals in each field of concentration. At present, less used though still useful, books must be discarded in favor of newer ones. At peak periods, students have diffi- culty in finding a place to sit down and study. As our student body in- creases, this problem could seriously threaten our academic standards. Due to lack of residence space, Oglethorpe has had to refuse admit- tance to women boarding students since June. Two years ago capacity for female campus students was set at 44. Last year, renovations enabled the limit to be increased to 54. Additional re- modeling brought the total this year to 62. There is no other way to increase capacity without adding a new build- ing. And the demand is increasing. A modern, attractive facility for 100 to 150 women is needed. Initial receipt of gifts for these pro- jects has been gratifying. Both the amount and number are unprecedented for this early in the campaign. If you have not yet sent your gift or pledge, now is the time to join those who have. Your gift, large or small, is important for a greater Ogle- thorpe. Page 2 Allison, Hasty (Continued from Page 1) Mr. Hasty's aides are Mrs. J. W. Cantrell '54, Roy W, Johnson '55, Pierce L. Landrum '52, and Mrs. Helen Cable Wallace '52. Wm, Alex Weatherby '55 is serving as Cherokee County Co-Chairman. These alumni are to be commended for their pioneering spirit and willing- ness to play a vital role in the en- hancement of education at Oglethorpe. The Flying Petrel Dr. Arthur L. Cohen (center) professor of biology, checks over the new. more powerful electron microscope which has been added to the research laboratory. The instrument was purchased with part of the 334,060 Public Health Service grant which Oglethorpe received earlier this year. Dr. Cohen, who directs the biological research, said that "Oglethorpe now has one of the best equipped electron microscope laboratories in the southeast." He stated that this instru- ment will "increase our research capacity and expand the facility for advanced undergraduate courses in the biological field." The other men in the picture are Phillip Electronics engineers who are installing the microscope in Neil Meier Memorial Hall (Faith Hall). Dinnsr-Dance Set (Continued from Page 1) alumni are asked to use the bar only to satisfy their refreshment needs. It will be open all evening. Dinner will be held at 8 p.m., fol- lowed by a brief report on Oglethorpe by Dr. Agnew and an up-to-the-minute report of the Forward Oglethorpe Fund, 1960-61 campaign. It should be pointed out that the evening is strictly a social affair. There will be no funds solicited. Dancing will begin at nine o'clock and will continue until midnight. Admission for dinner and dancing is $4.75 per person. For alumni who can attend the dance only, there will be a charge of one dollar per person. Dress is informal. Make your plans now to meet your friends at the Hellenic Center on Sat- urday, October 29, and don't forget to let the Alumni Office know as soon as possible that you will attend this delightful affair. 0. U. ADDS THREE FACULTY Three faculty members have been added to the Oglethorpe University staff this year. Dr. Bert H. Flanders and William H. Cohen are teaching in the Division of Human Understanding. Richard H. Haunton is serving as Visiting Assist- ant Professor in the Division of Citi- zenship. Dr. Flanders, a Visiting Professor, taught English and literature at Ga. State College in Atlanta from 1949 to 1960. He taught previously at other Georgia colleges including North Ga. College and Emory at Oxford. Dr. Flanders received A.B. and M.A. degrees from Emory University in 1929 and 1930. His Ph. D. in Eng- lish was received at Duke University in 1942. A New Frontier in Education pub- lished in 1955 is his most recent book. He also has had many articles pub- lished in several learned journals. Editor for 1960 of the Atlanta Writer's Club annual anthology Atlan- ta Poetry Gallery, Dr. Flanders is (Continued on Page 5) ENROLLMENT DOUBLED IN TWO YEARS Oglethorpe University enrollment has doubled in two years. A twenty- tliree per cent increase over last year pushed the current total to 361 stu- dents. The student body numbered 181 in 1958. While Georgians predominate, stu- dents representing twelve states and nine foreign countries are in attend- ance. All residence halls arc full. It was reported that the last vacancy in the female residence hall was filled in June. Applications received to date for the fall of 1961 are somewhat higher than at tiiis time last year. However, it is likely that the student body will have to be limited next year to about its present number until additional fa- cilities become available. The geographical location of Ogle- thorpe students are listed below. The high percentages of Atlanta and Geor- gia students are caused by limited boarding facilities. Most Atlanta and many Georgia students commute to Oglethorpe. Number Percent of Enrolled Enrollment Atlanta 171 Al Georgia 1 outside Atlanta!

We can only plead that the publication dates are at fault, not we. Besides Christmas will be on you before you know it. Back in the fall of 1944, with a total enrollment of thirty-five (to be- come twenty-five after Christmas ex- ams), and with ties to the past all but non-existant, Oglethorpe was look- ing desperately for some foundations tobuild upon. We started at least two traditions a day. One could not stumble on the iron step rims without it becoming a tradition. We still stumble but no one celebrates it any longer. One tradition that does re- main, however, is the annual Christ- mas party the Boar's Head Cele- bration. There was nothing original in our getting this going; Oueen's College, Oxford, had ante-dated us by some seven hundren years. The story, as they tell it, began one pre-Christmas season with a student walking in a wood near the college reading a Greek book, when he was attacked by a wild boar. Lacking any other defense he shoved the book down the boar's throat, choking him to death. Stu- dents salvaged the creature, and the head was cooked for the holiday feast. When it was carried into the hall the college greeted it with song, including a boar's head carol. Yearly, to the present time, the ceremony has been repeated in all aspects except the kill- ing of the boar. Many colleges have since started a similar event, and so, said the pio- neers of 1944, what could be more appropriate for Oglethorpe, whose patron had heraldic arms showing three boar's heads. That first year we had the late Roosevelt Walker from the University of Georgia, well known as a singer of Elizabethan ballads and carols, to carry the head (uncooked) in on a platter while he sang the Boar's Head Carol. This done in costume gave the old English air to the occasion. A general song fest and refreshments followed. The next year, with more time, we (Continued on Page 6) DR. CRESSY TEACHES ON TV Dr. Cheever Cressy, Oglethorpe professor of international relations, is teaching a non-credit "International Relations" course on an Atlanta tele- vision station. The timely course, which was be- gun on October 19, will run for a total of eleven weeks. It is scheduled on WAGA-TV, channel 5, at 7:30 a.m. each Wednesday through Decem- ber 28. Among the elements which will be covered are the state system, inter- national law, diplomacy, political geo- graphy, and collective security sys- tems such as the United Nations. Prior to his Oglethorpe appointment in 1950, Dr. Cressy taught at Tufts College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Bowdoin College. He served as research assistant to the World Peace Foundation in 1946. Dr. Cressy received an A.B. degree from Tufts in 1944. He earned his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy in 1945 and 1952 respectively. NORMAN B. THOMSON FILLS NEW POST Norman B. Thomson has been named to the newly created post of Director of Development at Ogle- thorpe. Mr. Thomson is well prepared for the duties he has assumed with exten- sive experience in both business and educational fields. Prior to his current position, he taught classes in management and corporation finance at Ft. McPherson in Oglethorpe's extension program while he served as southern manager of Robert T. Phillips Assoc, Inc., business consultants. Mr. Thomson's career began in 1922 as director of finance for the Illinois State Chamber of Commerce. After four years, he formed an invest- ment banking partnership in Chicago called Thomson-Laadt & Co. The highly successful firm handled under- writings and distribution of investment securities until the company was sold to another investment firm in 1945. While he states that he retired at that time, Mr. Thomson has since led an extremely active and rewarding life. Always interested in young people, he turned his interests to teaching. He served on three college faculties from 1946 through 1959, including Penn State, Temple and the U. of Florida. He was also sought as a consultant by numerous business firms during that time. As for his reason in coming to Ogle- thorpe, Mr. Thomson said, "I'm inter- ested in Dr. Agnew's idea of develop- ing a good, well-managed college of liberal arts at Oglethorpe. The Abbott family waved good-bye as they prepared to drive to New York City last September. Dr. Martin L. Abbott, professor of history at Oglethorpe, received a Fulbright grant to teach in Germany, near Frankfort am Main. He is on a one-year leave of absence from Oglethorpe. WANTED LAB TECHNICIAN A firm near Oglethorpe needs a laboratory technician who is strong in organic chemistry. The position will include research in plastics and a good salary for a qualified man or woman. For more information, contact the Oglethorpe University Place- ment Office at 237-9763. Page 4 The Flying Petrel BASKETBALL PREVIEW With the return of virtually the same team and schedule, the 1960-61 edi- tion of the Petrels should do at least as well as last year's squad, accord- ing to Coach Garland Pinholster. Of course there is one notable loss. Jay Dye, the all-state center, graduated in June. It remains to be seen whether sophomore southpaw Morris Mitchell and Sam Hudgins, Dye's understudy for two years, can take up the slack. Pinholster feels that we are definite underdogs in three contests of our 21 game slate, including two games with Ga. Southern and one with Stetson. Ahhough the Petrels bested Chatta- nooga twice last season, he rates these games as toss-ups. For the remainder of the schedule, the Birds must be given the nod, but not a shoo-in. Valdosta State has beefed up its squad with eight junior college trans- fers whose crew cuts measure 6' 4" or more from the floor. Overall, team defense should be im- proved over last year, but "to be as good as we were in 1958-59, we'd have to get Billy Carter back." Ogle- thorpe led the nation's 500 small col- leges in team defense for the last two seasons. "We've got everybody on weights Monday, Wednesday and Friday," the Coach said. "It strengthens their hands and arms, and they handle the ball with more assurance. The added muscle should help us on the back- boards." One doubtful note is 6' 4" forward, John Kuiken. An exceptionally strong rebounder, Kuiken hurt his back dur- ing an October practice. The injury may keep him out for the year. The forward slot also brings a bright note in the 6' 4" frame of Bobby Nance. Pinholster believes this sopho- more is just about ready to go with the best of them. Bobby Sexton, 6' 5" forward, is the only freshman on the team. He is probably the best shooter, but his action this year will be limited by his inexperience on defense. Work horse Roger Couch, a 6' 2" senior, forward, is "real hungry." He is playing the best basketball in his October, 1960 2,000 EXPECTED AT 5 TILTS Coach Pinholster believes that the 2,000 seats in the new Field House will be taken during each of five big games this season. Come extra early on the following nights when the Petrels play: Ga. Southern, December 5; St. Bernard. January 5; U. of Chattanooga, Janu- ary 28; Stetson, February 9; and Pem- broke State, the all-Indian team, Feb- ruary 15. Ga. Southern, year in and year out, has one of tlie strongest teams in the state, bar none. St. Bernard beat the Petrels in Atlanta last year, their first loss at home since the 1957-58 season. The Birds intend to correct that flaw. Oglethorpe will be out to revenge the loss they experienced at the hands of Stetson in DeLand, Fla., and again in Tampa at the 25th District NAIA play-offs. life. He will have to, to keep his start- ing assignment. The Petrel mentor said, "Buddy Goodwin at 6' 1" is a kind of lost soul. We've got two good guards, and he's short for a forward." But there is no doubt that Goodwin will see a lot of action. A real dogfight is going on at the pivot. At this writing the experience and determination of 6' 2" senior Sammy Hudgins gives him a slight edge over an improved, but still some- what erratic and shy, 6' 5" Morris Mitchell. The guard line-up mirrors that of last year with Jay Rowland and Tom- my Norwood in the lead with compe- tent understudies in Wayne Dobbs and Johnny Guthrie. One comment though, Rowland is 25 pounds heavier and faster than last year, and Norwood is more consistent and he has never shot better. Another top flight season is in store for the Petrels. Clip and keep the 1960-61 schedule that appears on this page so you won't have to miss a single, thrill-packed game.

Three Faculty (Continued from Page 3) listed in Who's Who in the South and Southwest, Who's Who in American Education and Directory of American Scholars. Mr. Cohen, assistant professor, is teaching freshman English and sopho- more literature courses. He graduated with a B.A. degree cum laude in 1950 and a M.A. degree in English in 1954. He received both degrees from the University of Florida. Mr. Cohen taught at Southern Illi- nois University and briefly at Georgia State College. Mr. Haunton, who is teaching A- merican History and Western Civili- zation holds memberships in the Sou- thern Historical Assn., Mississippi Valley Historical Assn., and the A- nierican Historical Assn. He received a B.A. degree in 1955 and a M.A. degree in History in 1958 from Indiana University. He has been a recipient of a Woodburn Memorial Fellowship. Page 5 V Reminiscing (Continued from Page 4) became more elaborate. Four faculty children about so high (now all in college or out) were pages carrying in the head. They were followed by recorders and choir moving into the Hall of Phoebe (Arts, Administration Building, depending on how far back you go) singing the carol. Then came a varied program of choir, instru- ments, and general carol singing and of course refreshments. In 1946, the newly reactivated Boar's Head Honor- ary Fraternity (also named after the heraldic arms) offered to take over the decorations and general organiza- tion. We were now becoming too large and sophisticated for all students, faculties, families, and any passing stranger just to come in and lend a hand. Only one more innovation. Do you know how hard it is to get a pig's head with the hide on it? The law says it must not be. And an uncooked head, skinned ! Well after a few years of illegal activity, various groups purchased a stuffed, genuine wild boar's head. He is very ferocious and very permanent. To lend the proper medieval touch, the hunter who sold it claimed he killed it with bow and arrow. If we ever leave Oglethorpe, one of the fondest memories that will go with us, will be of the Great Hall in the glow of firelight and candles, the tree in the corner, the Advent wreath hanging from the beams, and the chor- us looking down upon us from the stairs.
