Outstanding Efforts Basis Of Selections

Fourteen students from Ithaca College have been selected for this year's Who's Who In American Unh·ersltfos ailll Colleges. These stu­dents were chosen on a basis of scholarships, leadership, cooperation, their education and extra-curricular activities, their general usefulness. The purpose of this publication is to create one national basis of recog­nition for college students as a means of compensation for outstanding effort and achievement.

Those chosen to represent Ith-aca College in this year's edition forth by the publication. The are: Charles R. Boyle, T. Walter names of the students chosen by Carlin, Charles I.

For instance, on Jan. 11, 1929, the very first issue of THE ITHA­CAN came out with the blazing headline, "EXA:'l!INA TIONS TO BEGI.'.'< JA:-,UARY 16th." Even back in those days, students were concerned with such mundane mat-ters.

There have been too many "big news" items to mention more than a few, but among some of these more notable events written into the pages of TI-IE ITHACAN since its founding, was the SRO perform­ancf' of the Dayton Westminster Choir. The concert was held at Bailey Hall in Feb. of 1929, just before the Choir embarked on a world tour which was sponsored by President and :'llrs. Herbert Hoover, Chief Justice and :.Irs. Taft and other national dignitaries. The :'1Iarch 7, 1929 issue reports that, " ... just about every student at Ithaca College attended and was enthralled by a stellar perform­ance."

Somehow, though, things got switched, and I.C. found out what Nora had to offer. As a Sophomore, she sang in Scampers. That same year, she tutored some students in English Comp.

She's a member of IDEO, Newman Club, Adelphi, Student Council, and Theta Alpha Phi.

A new method for computing semester averages will be adopted by Ithaca College this fall. It was agreed by the administration that this new method would be more efficient.

Averages will be determined by I ratio between the grades received quality points. Quality points are and the number of semester hours assigned for each regular course completed. The quality point completed with the grade of A, B, average is obtained by dividing the or C. Each semester hour of credit total of quality points earned by is equivalent to three quality points the total semester hours of work if passed with a grade of A, to two taken.

Your Voice The most difficult people to write for arc ncw~papcr readers.

Nothing, l~csidcs a paper, that is prin.tcd, is read by such a hctcro­genus audience. What should be printed; what should he banned? .-\n article that looks most innocent on the surface can he cntirch· improper ajJen perused care~ully. ·

For 25 years, the lt!idt:an has tried ro please the majoritv, bu~ it is a difficult 'job· to do successfully. Some people want mo~c features, some more news. These groups arc again divided as to the rype of features and news they want to sec printed. They also wish ro have so1:1ething ro say about the policy of the paper. Some of the suggest10ns can be used, but newspapers are not always able to make everyone happy.

In a professional paper, the readers who are not sa risficcl will not continue to purchase the paper. If they arc in the minority, the publishers will not suffer. In a college paper where the paper is included in the tuition, a few who are never satisfied can make the ~raff of the paper seem incompetent and unwilling to please the students.

Just how much should the average student of the college have ro say about the policy of the paper when they usually do not know of, or realize the impediments the staff is coping with? Should there be a complaint department added to the staff to which the complaints of the students be compiled and filed? "Letters to the Editor" was developed for such purposes and also included gripes ;ibout the whole school, but students seem unwilling to take ad­,·antage of it.

Each succeeding editor and staff of the !tlzaca11 has for the past 25 years been working fruitlessly if the students arc not will­ing to cooperate and voice their" opinions in a way that will prob­ably bring results. Why not work together so as to make the 50th anniversary show more results of a combined effort on the part of rhe average student and staff member to bring about a better and bigger school paper?

Avoid The June Rush January 29 marks the encl of the first semester here at Ithaca

College. The following Mon., Feb. 1, the second semester will offocially start. For all of us it is a time of reckoning.Many will survive, but more than a few will be found wanting and fall by rhe wayside. The old saying "playing the fiddler" srill holds true.

With a last minute rush and plenty of midnight cramming, the student body is preparing for finals and catching up back work and over-due themes and term papers. With New Year's so recent it seems that this might be a good time for a fresh start -on the right track. The start is important, but most <;if us get side-tracked along the way. Why not keep at those assignments all through the semester and avoid the frenzied hurry at the last minute; more or less of a shop early plan, so to speak.

The freshmen, by now,. have made the diffic~lt transition from high school to college work and should realize the ,~eccl proper application. Those of them who m_ay ha,:e fallen behmcl, can, with the right application, catch up with their classmates be­fore it is too late.

The rest of the student bodv knows their own weaknesses and shortcomings and should be" able to remedy the_ situation. Let us have more push along the way and less tuggmg at the destination-} une finals.

Fine Arts Museum Shows Three New Exhibitions

The New Year has opened with three exceptionally .interesting ex­hibitions at the Syracuse :Museum of Fine Arts, corner of James and State Streets, continuing through Jan. 31st. "Contemporary Ameri­can painting by nine leading ar­tists; a one-man show of water col­ors and drawings by Prof. Mar­garet Huntington Boehner, on the art faculty of Syracuse University; and an exhibit entitled "Planned for Craftsmen", which by means of designs and actual objects ex­plains good and bad design. (This last exhibit ends January 25th).

The following famous artists are included in the large American painting show: :'11ilton Avery, Arnold Blanch, Lamar Dodd, Peter Hurd, William C. Palmer, :'llillard Sheets, :'11aurice Sterne, Andrew Wyeth and Karl Zerbe.

Daily hours are from 12 noon to 5:30 P.M. Sun. 2 to 5:30 P.M., and out-of-town visitors and stu­dent groups are admitted in the mornings,

while the other provided the one and only studio. There were addi-tional facilities in the Green Room, so that radio shows could be put on upon the stage, but the only real studio was that small dress-ing room. Radio became more. and more popular among the students as time passed, and as a result, the college built temporary studios in the Green Room. This construc­tion was completed and ready for operation in the fall of 1945. Then the fun began. Instructors of the radio classes soon began noticing interested bystanders tiptoeing through the Green Room and to and from the studios. In lieu of the situation, a new edifice was added to the campus. In the sum­mer of 1947, a special Radio Build­ing was erected, and stands today just behind the Music Building on Court Street. Carefully designed, it was built to include three studios, a sub-control room, a master con­trol room situated so that the con-trol operators could see into an:\! and all of the studios with ease, a production room, and a music room, as well as offices and a reception room. The entire building feature~ the most modern of radio equip­ment that was to be had at the time, and was comparable with that to be found in almost any commercial radio station. But as yet, we were not on the air. Before long, the Radio Department took on the potential call letters of WICR, which of course, was to stand for Ithaca College Radio.

Television students were Bob Emory of WOR, noted as the di­rector of the "Superman" series, and Mr. A. B. Pearse, Director of Special Events for ABC.

In 1948, John Grolier, then di­rector of the IC Radio and TV Workshop, contacted 14 radio sta­tions throughout the country which were willing to cooperate, and ini­tiated a system of senior field training for Radio students. This was a big step in the progressive rise of the Department and the training it offered. Practical ex­perience is in radio, probably more than in any other business, the most valuable basic fundamental one can acquire. In May of 1949, a series of broadcasts was inaugu­rated under_ the direction of John Groller. These educational pro­grams originated in the IC Work­shop and were broadcast over the Empire State FM Network School of the Air, and were presented in cooperation with the Ithaca Public Schools. At this time, our Regional Network outlet was WHCU-FM, which was then affiliated with the Rural Radio Network.

The transmitter was erected, test operations · took place, and in Nov. of 1949, WITJ began regu­lar broadcasts from 5 :30 to 8 :30 p.m., Mon. thru Fri., operating on a frequency of 88.1 megacycles. One ,fay later WITJ suspended op­erations. It seems that we were interfering with a television sta­tion in Syracuse. The matter was !H"ought before the FCC, and as a 1 c suit, the frequency of the IC sta­ticn was changed. The regular pro­grams produced for distribution to other stations and the Rural Radio Network, of course, contin­ued as usual. In Feb. of 1950, WITJ returned to the air operating on the newly assigned frequency of Sl.7 on the FM dial.

From here on in, WITJ broad­cast regularly scheduled programs each week night. Broadcast hours were extended to 9: 15 p.m.

In Sept. of 1950, a new addition was made to the Radio Department when Fred A. Brewer joined the staff, to work in cooperation with John Groller. In Sept. of 1951, Mr. Groller left the IC staff, and Brewer was promoted to depart­mental head with Bill Seibel join­ing the department as his assistant. Under this twosome, the IC Radio Workshop expanded rapidly. Both instructors had previously worked in commercial radio, and hence, had a wide variety of experience to offer the students. That year, Campus Radio Theater, which had been off for a year, returned to the air, featuring top-notch dra­matic plays. It was also announced that the FM School of the Air shows were enlarging and that WITJ was producing most of the shows for the 20 stations cover­ing New York State. WITJ also joined the facilities of the Rural Radio Network, thus becoming the

first non-commercial station in the

U.S. to belong to a network.

To those of you here at IC who knew Mr. Brewer and Mr. Seibel, we are sure that these two, Brewer in particular, will long retain a prominent place in your memory.

abled the Bombers to record their first :i·l-5:l entry on the win side of the ledger. The victory broke a string of consecutive losses to Syracuse, Wilkes, Buffalo State, Alfred and St. Bonaventure. In win­ning, IC equalled the gym scoring mark (or the varsity, set last Jan. 12 when last year's edition of the Bombers walloped the airmen of Hancock I~ield, 93-ti7. Ithaca also buried the Uticans under a bar­rage of 36 field goals in 90 at­tempts for an immaculate 40 per cent shooting average.

Dick Horton dropped 18 points through the Army hoop and Grover Jones rang the bell 17 times in a very gallant attempt to keep IC in the ball game. At the end of the half, Ithaca trailed by only 29-35. They pulled to within three points of the Cadets twice during the third quarter, but ran out of steam, as the West Pointers turned it on in the final ten minutes racking up 25 points to the Bombers' 11.

Coach "C'arp" \Vood commented after the game ... "we just weren't relaxed" ... and so would seem to be the case, for IC made good only 11 of 32 foul shots, and proved very weak beneath the boards.

"Bucky's" teams had won 34, lost 19 and tied six ... Charlie Baker and l\fcKillop made honorable men­tion on the All Up-State eleven t.hat year with Baker receiving similar recognition on the National Small College All-America team ... the first IC player to be so honored.

With the Andrews Sisters' ":\ir. Five by Five" and Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" in the back­ground, 1942, with the advent of the second world war was a pretty lean year, sports-wise, around Ithaca College athletic fields. The College dropped out of intercollegiate com­petition in .the l!M2 and 1943 sea­sons.

In Setember, 1946, football re­turned to the IC suspended sports program ... and in 1946 the high­light of the Bombers' athletic en­deavor was a top-notch basketball team that Coach Ben Light moulded out of veterans, amateurs and semi­professionals.

The years 19-17 and '48 were lean ones indeed, following the long war period and it was 1949 before IC really began to hit the comeback trail. The Blue and Gold fielded an excellent baseball team in that year winning 11 of 16 games. IC alumnus George Kissel brought his Hamilton Cardinals of the Pony League to Percy Field that year and eked out two very close wins, 5-·1 and 4-3 over the Bombers. This was the year that Ross Passineau performed so ably at the keystone sack for Coach Freeman. Golf and tennis sprouted on the College campus in the spring of 1950. The basketball team that year featured a gentleman by the name of J. P. Smith. Smith set a new Seneca Gym scoring record. liitting for 40 points against Loch Haven. Ross Passineau's three year scoring total of 648 points set a new record in that department, while Smith's 17.2 average was also one of the highest in IC history. Smith also hit in 51.1 per cent of his field goal attempts which gave him fifth place with the national leaders.

In 1952 Coach Buck Freeman de­

veloped a baseball powerhouse that

offered classy fielding and some

real power hitting. His crew won

16 and lost three and almost made

a bid to the NCAA college baseball

tournament, but were beaten out by

Princeton. The Bombers proved themselves

a real powerhouse as they ran

roughshod over St. Bonaventure,

LeMoyne, Quantico, Sampson and

Seton Hall. This year was the best

ever for Coach Freeman and his

history ... most of us know of last
