Minors, '57 Mr. James S. Peters, Chairman of the State Board of Education was this year's recipient of the School Bell Award presented by the Oglethorpe Alumni Association to a person who has made outstanding contributions to the field of education. Mr. Peters, a native of Manchester, Georgia, is a gendeman in his 80's and states firmly that he has been connected with the educational system of Georgia for 73 years from the time when the school year was only three months long until the present time working with his fourth governor as chairman of the State Board of Education. Mr. Holliday, President of the Alumni Association states that we are honored to present the Bell Award to such a distinguished educator as Mr. Peters. Mr. Sibley addresses the breakfast meeting ol the Oglethorpe Alumni Progress Report -Fund Drive Like any private college, Oglethorpe University needs our help our help in dollars. The trustees are working hard to build endowment so that the annual income will be larger. One way we can help is to show the potential sources that our own "family" is behind the college. This means that your contribu- tion to the 1964 Forward Oglethorpe Fund regardless of size automatically increases the percentage of participa- tion. As of April 10th, our alumni had contributed $17,000. We would like to be at our goal of $30,000 by Alumni Day, May 15th & 16th. This is to remind you not to delay too long in sending your check to the Forward Oglethorpe Fund. There is more to this business than showing an appreciation of what Oglethorpe did for us. We are more than maintaining the high standard set by our country's educational system and there is no need for one to point to us the importance of our private colleges in the picture. Send in whatever you can afford and it will be sincerely appreciated. Page 2 Spring 1964 Merriman Smith to be Commencement Speaker Merriman Smith, class of '36, will be the speaker at the 90th commence- ment of Oglethorpe University which will be held on Sunday, June 7th at 5:00 P.M. For more than 20 years, Mr. Smith has covered major news events for United Press International. He has been assigned to the White House since 1941 and is now the senior White House Correspondent. His travels with Presidents have taken him all over the world. He ac- companied Roosevelt on wartime trips in and out of the United States; and was at Warm Springs at the time of Roosevelt's death. Mr. Smith re- ceived the National Headliners Award for coverage of that story in 1945. He was with Truman at the Potsdam Con- ference. During the Eisenhower terms, he traveled to Korea in 1952 as well as Eisenhower's tour of 1 1 Asian, African and European nations. Mr. Smith covered the Bermuda Big Three Con- ference and the Paris NATO Council meeting. With the late President Kennedy, he made all trips abroad including the meeting in Vienna between Kennedy and Premier Khrushchev, the visits to Columbia and Venezuela; Mexico City and in April of 1963 the conference with the presidents of six Central American nations in Costa Rico. Headlines all over the world attested to his greatest effort when he wrote of the assassination of President Kennedy in Dallas. His eyewitness account of the tragic event is written in Four Days, a book published by UPI about the death and funeral of Kennedy. Mr. Smith has written five books on his Presidential experiences and ob- servations. "Thank You Mr. Pres- ident", "A President is Many Men", "Meet Mr. Eisenhower", "A President's Odyssey" and "The Good News Days". He is frequently on national tele- United Press Photo Merriman Smith vision panel productions including such shows as Meet the Press and Face the Nation. In addition to his day-to-day cover- age of the President, Mr. Smith writes a regular three-times-a week column for UPI titled "Backstairs at the White House." This is a collection of the less publicized sidelight events of the oc- cupants. He is a member of White House Cor- respondents Association, Phi Kappa Phi, and the National Press Club in Washington. Before joining UPI, Mr. Smith served as managing editor of the Athens, Georgia Daily Times. In 1936 he joined the staff of UPI and covered the Georgia and Florida legislatures before his transfer to the Washington bureau. Alumni Week End May 15-16 Outside the Peace Corps. Looking In The following "article" is really a letter from Miss Judy Skiles, a 1963 graduate of Oglethorpe. Miss Skiles is engaged to a member of the Peace Corps, Arnold Baker, also a 1963 graduate now stationed in Guatemala. With her permission, the letter is as follows: April 3, 1964 Dear Joyce 1 hope you will not mind the manner in which this letter is written. I have resorted to duplicating a letter because I have so much to tell so many. This way I will be able to send everyone a long letter about my trip to visit Arnold in Guatemala. After months of anticipation and preparation for the trip it was hard to realize on December 20 that the time had finally come for me to go. Some- how, though, I managed to pack and float out to the airport. My suitcases, by the way, were full primarily of miscellaneous articles for Arnold: Christmas presents from his family and mine; articles of food and clothing for him which he is unable to get at a reasonable price in Guatemala; and most important of all, peanut butter. Yes, that's right, peanut butter! This "delicacy" as well as other American food products cost three to four times as much there as they do here at home. I'll bet I was the only person going through customs with peanut butter in her suitcase! I flew from St. Louis to New Orleans via Delta my first jet ride. It was quite exciting, though a little rough. From New Orleans I flew directly to Guatemala City via Taca Airlines, a Central American line which provided very smooth and friendly service. After leaving St. Louis with six inches of snow on the ground, I was overjoyed to be greeted by the warm Guatemalan sunshine and temperature in the upper 70's. Most of all, though, it was wonderful being greeted by that handsome, smiling (and sun-burned) Peace Corps Volunteer who was wav- Spring 1964 Pace 3 ing to me from a balcony overlooking the airfield. Somehow I muddled through customs, not understanding a word of the Spanish directed to me by the officials. I just smiled, shrugged my shoulders, and thrust my passport into their hands. I was in Guatemala for ten exciting days. And in that time Arnold was able to show me quite a lot of the country and of the Indian way of life. I hardly know where to start in telling you of my impressions, but I suppose I'll begin with Guatemala City, the capital and only large city of the country. It is a bustling metropolis with most, if not all, of the advantages of a large city in the U.S. One of the unusual aspects of the city, however, is that on every side there are seemingly contradictory extremes. The number of expensive American and foreign cars was surprising to me. At the same time, so were the many wooden carts loaded with products, which were pulled by the Indian men themselves. In the same city block, one could see women dressed in the latest and most fashionable styles, as well as Indian women dressed in their tra- ditional long and multi-colored cos- tumes. This situation, political scientists tell us, is the tragedy of most of Central and South America. There is no mid- dle class to speak of. The people can be divided into two classes: the wealthy and the destitute. Not only is this class division evident in the city. The same classification also exists out in the country, where the wealthy people are finca (ranch) owners. These ranchers own great tracts of land, which are worked by Indian laborers for only fifty cents a day. A whole village of Indians often will be employed by one rich finca owner, in almost feudalistic system. One of the main objectives of the Peace Corps in Guatemala, Arnold tells me, is to help raise the economic situation of these Indians who live in the outlying villages. Arnold works in a small village, Patzicia, in the state of Chimaltenango, which is located on the Pan-American Highway only two hours' drive west from Guatemala City. He is living there with Pat and Cliff Gruver, a young married couple who are also in Peace Corps service. Their work in Patzicia has many facets. Since their group of volunteers is sponsored by the National Grange, much of their work is agricultural. In addition to this, they have built and partially stocked a li- brary Patzicia's first. Arnold is teaching five English classes a week. Pat is teaching nutrition and sewing to the village women. And soon Cliff will be starting carpentry classes. Arnold is also directing several youth activities: soccer, soft-ball, girls' basketball, and the equivalent of a 4-H Club for the village youngsters. I was relieved to find that Arnold's home in Patzicia is fairly comfortable. He and the Gruvers are renting a four room house which is about a foot from the Pan-American Highway. (All of the houses are built right on the street.) There are two large patios behind the house, both of which are enclosed by an adobe wall. In the back patio is a small vegetable garden, and a place to keep livestock. In the patio nearest the house is a water faucet (quite a lux- ury), an out-door sink for washing clothes and (under construction) a kitchen with a wood burning stove! I was very impressed by the friendli- ness of the villagers in Patzicia. So many of them came to see me to ex- press their pleasure at meeting "la novia de Arnaldo." Although I could say only "mucho gusto" and smile, I hope they realized how much I en- joyed seeing them. All of them seemed so very eager to learn about the United States. And they could say a few words in English, most commonly "thank you", "hello", and "Pepsi Cola". Arnold and I were lucky to be able to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas day in one of the most beautiful resorts in Guatemala, Lake Atitlan. This is one of the highest and largest natural lakes in the world. It is ringed on all sides by mountains and volcanoes, one of which is still active. It was so beautiful on a clear day to see the white smoke gently rising from the mountain peak. The weather is warmer at the lake than in the city, so we were able to go swimming both days. The warmer climate also enables trees and flowers of many varieties to bloom all year 'round. I was so excited at seeing oranges, pineapples and bananas grow- ing. Carnations and poinsettias were blooming all over the countryside. You can imagine how brilliantly-colored the landscape was. After leaving the lake we took a side trip to Chichicastenango, an Indian vil- lage which is way back up in the moun- tains. We bumped and jogged along a dirt road until I thought my insides were tangled beyond repair. Finally we reached the village and looked up an- other Peace Corps Volunteer who works there. Dick Hedge is a St. Louis boy who is working in association with a hospital clinic for the Indians in this village. While in Chichi we saw some fascinating Indian ceremonial dances. I hope all my slides turn out well. The excursion which was perhaps the most exciting to me was the bus trip Arnold and I took to the Pacific coast of Guatemala. We traveled on an Indian bus nearly 150 miles for only $1.00 each. These buses, which are school buses bought from the U.S. and Germany, are the life-line of the Indian economy. The Indians travel to market on the buses, carrying their products, which may be large heads of cabbage, corn, sugar cane, chickens, turkeys, and even hogs. The inanimate bundles are tied on the top of the bus. Sometimes the frisky hogs are tied on top also, squealing for all they are worth! The chickens and turkeys come inside with the passengers. Our destination was the port of San Jose, Guatemala's largest Pacific port. There, as elsewhere, the scenery was beautiful. The sand on the beach was black, something unusual to me. Arnold said that it is because of the volcanic soil. I met so many nice people while I was in Guatemala: other Peace Corps Volunteers, some American Friends working in the country, Arnold's boss- es and several of his Guatemalan friends. I'm sure I have not covered every- thing in this long epistle. If you have any specific question about matters that I did not touch, please write me, or better yet, write Arnold. He could answer your questions much better. After all, I'm only a ten day "authority" on Guatemala. And so for now, hasta la vista and vaya con Dios.

The Gulf Oil Corporation awarded Oglethorpe a grant in the amount of $437.00 for unrestricted use. This grant was one of some 692 awards totaling $500,000 that Gulf will distribute this year as direct, unre- stricted grants to as many Universities and Colleges under its Aid to Educa- tion Program. This grant to Oglethorpe was calcu- lated on the basis of a formula which takes into account the quality of the school's curriculum, the effectiveness of its program and the amount of financial support provided by the alumni. Institutions eligible for direct grants are those which are privately operated and controlled and which obtain a major portion of their financial sup- port from non-tax sources. The check was presented to Dr. George Seward, acting president of Oglethorpe by Mr. J. H. Griffith, Area Sales Manager of Gulf Oil. Spring 1964 Page 5 Appointments, Awards and Grants Miss Donna Lee Williams, a senior at Oglethorpe University, has been awarded a grant and teaching assistant- ship in India under the provisions of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Ex- change Act of 1961 (Fullbright-Hays Act). All candidates are selected by the Board of Foreign Scholarships, the members of which are appointed by the President. American student candid- ates are recommended by campus Ful- bright-Hays Scholarships and by the Institute of International Education. Miss Williams, a science major, re- sides at 190 Laurel Forest Circle, NE, Atlanta 5, Georgia. Mr. Ed Danus, a director of the Pocket Theater and publicity and ad- vertising director of the Municipal Theater, will be the director of The Players, the drama group at Oglethorpe University. Mr. Danus has acted and directed in numerous productions both off-Broad- way and summer stock.

Luke Appling is Elected to Baseball's Hall of Fame in Coopertown Luke Appling, '32, has become 101st baseball player to be elected to the Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, New York. The elections took place this past Winter. Lucian "Bird" Hope, '21 coached Appling in high school days at Fulton High School. Following his gradua- tion there, Appling played 2 seasons at Oglethorpe under Frank Anderson and then went on to the major leagues where he played 2,442 games with 2,218 of them as shortstop. In 1958, Appling ended his career in the major leagues and began as manager for Memphis in the Southern Association. Last season, he was a coach with Baltimore and this coming season, he will be with the Athletics at Bradenton as batting coach. HALL OF FAME TO INDUCT THREE NEW MEMBERS Oglethorpe University's most distin- guished service award in athletics, membership into the athletic HALL OF FAME, is expected to be bestowed on three individuals during homecom- ing exercises Saturday, May 16th. Established three years ago, to rec- ognize outstanding contributions to the Oglethorpe University athletic pro- gram, the award has achieved a coveted status among its recipients, it was created by the Oglethorpe Booster Club to recognize not only those who have actually participated in the sports pro- gram, but those who have given unself- ishly of their time and ability to for- ward the progress of the program. The 1964 inductees will be installed following a noon luncheon and Booster Club meeting on the 16th. Co-chairman for the project are Ed Miles and Ansel Paulk. Former inductees into the hall of fame include Luke Appling, who this year was named to baseball's hall of fame, Harry Robertson, Garland Pin- holster, Frank Anderson Sr., Sy Bell, Adrian Maurer, Steve Schmidt, L. N. Turk, and Clay Parish. Although the names and number of the 1964 inductees have not been made public, it was safely assumed there would be no more than three new members. What's New With You?

News Page 6 Spring 1964 SPORTS The same common ailment effected tennis and baseball on the O.U. campus this spring inexperience. But a slow start in both sports is suddenly round- ing into promising signs. In baseball, Coach Billy Carter's boys have recorded (at publication time) a record of 2-5, but the two victories are consecutive after five de- feats. The Petrel baseballers were hurt early by the ineligibility of five boys who figured prominently in spring plans. However, the sudden develop- ment of several freshmen and the steady contributions of the few return- ing lettermen have enhanced chances for a .500 or better season. Oglethorpe's two victories have been over Erskine (3-2) and Berry (3-2). In the Berry victory, pitcher-outfielder Larry Abner hurled a seven-hit gem and struck out 13 men, including Berry's cleanup batter five times. Abner, Bob Moreland, Roy Cowart, Ben Hargrove and Bobby Sexton are the proven performers. Freshmen Larry Shattles at shortstop, Charlie Stepp at third and Jimmy Copeland at first, have all exhibited calm under fire. The catching, which has been a con- cern on the O.U. campus since the de- parture of Tommy Norwood two years ago, is handled by capable Robert Tillery. "We've been fairly pleased with the progress," said Coach Carter. "Cold and wet weather hampered us early, and the loss of those boys before the season started, but the team is getting accustomed to switching around and I feel we could make, or better, .500 for the season. "The pitching is pleasing. Abner's game was encouring and we have good men in Cowart, Moreland, Hargrove and Sexton, plus Jabo Johnson. Then, too, we've cut down on errors. They really hurt at first but we only made one in the last two games." The tennis team, coached this year by athletic director Garland Pinholster, has gone through some of the same problems as the baseball team, and, like baseball, has solved most of them. At publication date, the Petrels had accomplished a 4-3 record, which speaks well of a team depleted by graduation. "We lost three of the first six men from last year," Coach Pinholster said. "We've filled in with intramural boys and they've responded wonderfully." The three returnees are Bill Pate, Ray Thomas and Dan Cowart. The three intramural graduates are Bob McMains, Hoyt Wagoner and Hank Alexander. Also Clark Raby has made fine progress. Pate, the No. 1 singles man, has lost only one match while winning six. Thomas is No. 2 in singles; Cowart, No. 3; Raby, No. 4; McMains, No. 5, and Alexander, No. 6. Wagoner would be listed, except for illness. No. 1 doubles team is Pate and Thomas, followed, in order, by Raby- Cowart and McMain-Alexander. "A lot of people put emphasis on the No. 1 and 2 man in tennis," said Coach Pinholster, "but that sixth man is just as important. His point counts just as much, and we've been getting fine play out of those boys, especially Alexander. He's a fine competitor. "Thomas, who was hurt in basket- ball, is not quite up to snuff yet, but he is gradually coming around. This is good for him, helps strengthen his leg." The Petrel tennis team has defeated Cumberland, Shorter, West Georgia and Berry. There are seven more matches to go and Coach Pinholster is confident his boys will do well. "We really want to be right for Homecoming day," Pinholster empha- sized. "The tennis team plays Georgia State in the morning and the baseball team takes on Valdosta State in the afternoon. It will be a big day for our spring sports program." Through the Years Robert Clark, '32, founder of Clark Manufacturing Company, has been re- quested by the US Department of Com- merce to exhibit his rotary lawn mow- ers in the Foire de Paris this coming May.
