JANUARY • 1942

Dear Alumnus: World War II ha bred so mu ch warped thought and action that it is indeed refreshing when something thoroughly wholesome emerges. Just such a thing occurred to us in the past month in the form of a letter addressed to the R everend President, Father Elbert. Written by an American wife, seeking spiritual solace for her husband, now in the armed forces, it epitQJilizes true Christian thought a nd action as applied to the war. This wife undoubtedly would choose to be anonymous. H tl r letter follows: DEAR FATHER: Will you please add one more name to your list of former students who are serving their country ? I refer to my husba nd, - - -, Class of - - -, who is now in the artillery at Camp - -- .

I a m telling; you , because I know you are praying for them a ll a nd I wanted his name to be among those prayed for.

A lot of the spirit of D ayton and most of its teachings are certainly helping him take army life in its stride a nd I know your prayers will do more.

H e was to be released this month because of age and being; ma rried, but now that is all cha nged, so I am just asking your prayers for peace for all of u s and strength to go on until God sees fit to give us that peace. Thanking; you , I am respectfully, (signed ) Mrs. - --

Further editorial comment on the above would be most redundant.

FRONT COVER: (Photo by Keen) For the first time in more tha n two years the Alumnus forsakes " personallized" front cover a rt a nd adopts a formal exterior scene. Perha ps we a re going "starry-eyed" on you but to u s this view of the library has a n allegorical significance. Could tha t bleak winter sky or the streaks of co ld shadows signify anything other than the grim foreboding we face today.

Nor could those great columns and the building's massive masonry signify other than the strength to withstand. And within the building warmth and hop e a nd th e tru e strength of Christian edu cation.

Three Year Program For National Defen se University Adopts New Streamlined Curriculum In compliance with the government' immedia te need for college trained men a nd women to fill the va rious jobs pertinent to N a tional D efense, the niversity of Dayton takes its p lace with leading universities in the na tion in the establishing of revised curricula to enabl e students to complete cu tomary four year courses in three years or less.

Thi streamlining of the University's edu cational program will be done without lowering admis ion sta nda rds or full gradua tion requirement as e tablished by the leading accrediting agencies. The "speed'lp" goes into effect a t once and will have as its first result th e grad ua tion of the class of 1942 one month earlier tha n originally scheduled .

Gradua tion will ta ke pl ace in the earl y pa rt of M ay, probably on Sunday, M ay 10.

Cia s P e riods Le ng the ned The mechanics of the accelerated program a re as follows: C lass periods have been lengthened from 50 to 60 m inutes. T he school day h as been extended from 3 o'clock to 3 :40. In addition, academic instruction will be intensified . Minimum requirements for one semester hour of credit now sta nd at 750 minutes. In the speed-up, 780 minute of instruction will be given, indicating that the University administration is bending every effort to consta ntly improve sta nda rds even in the face of emergency measures.

The summer vacation, beginning one month earlier tha n u sual, will enable undergradua te students to obtain jobs and thus help defray the expense of the coming years of schooling. This measure will be pa rticularly significant in view of the elimin a tion of the N .Y.A. program for next year . The above mentioned method of " streamlin ing" goes into effect thi semester but applies only to this semester. Pla n are being formula ted a t the pre ent time pertaining to the method to be adopted with the opening of the fall term ( possibly some time in August ) . The p la n most probable of adoption is a

The Flyers held a 20- l J lead a t halftime but in the second period the Qua kers found themselves a nd soon had knotted the score at 26 all.

H owever, the Flyers reorganized themselve a nd soon had gained a comfortable lead .

Bob K ava naugh again led the Flyers in the scoring column , tossing in 12 points. Bill Knisley, stellar guard , was cl ose behind with 11 points.

D AYTON-WITTENBERG Dayton continued its uninterrupted march along victory road when it defeated a rangy Wittenberg quintet 37 to 27, for its third consecutive triumph of the season.

The Flyers continued their rampage, both offensively and defensively. During the course of their rout they were an alert ball club, a fast ball club, a sm art ball club. Their defense con tinued so tight throughout the first half tha t a field goal in the last minute of play was the first of the evening for Wittenberg.

Bill Knisley rang up eight field goals and two fouls for a total of 18 points and was the standout player in a victory which was the result of fin e team play.

D AYTON-WICHITA The Flyers wound up the 194 1 portion of their schedule by beating the University of Wichita 42 to 19, for their fourth victory in a row, without a loss. The game started slowly as n either team could find the range, though numerous shots were taken. With 12 minutes of the first half u sed up, the score was 12 to 5.

As the half ended the Flyers held a 21 to 12 advantage.

Wichita played wildly a t times .m d committed 22 foul s, 14 of which the Flyers san k. In fact, three Wichita starters were removed from the game on foul s before nine minutes of th e second h alf had been played.

D ayton committed but nine foul s, seven of which were converted.

J erry Westendorf and Bill Knisley each tossed in 11 points to aid the Fl yer cause.

D AYTON-CEDARVILLE The D ayton basketballers continued to roll following- the Christmas vacation layoff by chalking- up an impressive 74 to 35 win over Cedarville. The regulars were held to but 19 points in the first half but in the second p eriod the substitutes began hitting the hoop with compa ra tive ease. It was the fifth stra ight win for the Flyers.

During the last qu arter of play the Flyer second team chalked up a total of 34 points with Bobby Swartzel leading the parade with seven baskets a nd six fouls for a total of 20 points for the night. Swartzel, after four previous lean nights, found himself and was deadly under the basket. Bob Heidekamp, also playing his first year on the Flyer varsity, displayed a fin e floor game a nd tossed in four baskets.

ALUMNI BASKETBALL CARNIVAL SET FOR COLISEUM-FEB. 14 Hearkening back to the "good old days" of the annual Alumni Basketball Carnival, officers of the Miami Valley chapter, in coop eration with Bro. Aloys C . Doyle, S.M., faculty manager of athletics, and H arry C. Baujan, athletic director, announce the Alumni Basketball Carnival of 1942!

The Carnival- biggest date on the Alumni Association's winter calendar- takes place on Saturday, February 14, in the Coliseum.

In the vernacular of Broadway and Jacobs' Beach, it's a starstudded special- it's colossal! And best of all-there will be no advance in prices !

The program gets under way at 7 p.m. with a fine preliminary game between the University of Cincinnati freshman team and the U. D. frosh. If you haven't seen the Flyer yearlings in action to da te, be sure to sec this one! These boys a re good and what's more-big! 6-1 , 6-2 and 6- 3 they run- something- almo t unheard of in recent U. D. court history.

Following the frosh game at 8 :00, the Campus V a riety show begins.

The best talen t on the campus will be disported for the edification of the grads a nd their fri ends.

Then comes the piece de resistance of the evening. The basketball game between Jim Carter's sensational Flyer quintet and their archrivals from the Queen City, the Cincinn ati Bearcats. Both teams h ave fine records and are well up in the sta te standin gs.

Between halves of the game, another fifteen-minute variety entertainment will be presented. The master of ceremonies will be John H ackett, sports announcer of station WING. John ha nd led the mike a t the Dayton football games last fall and also broadcasts the F lyer basketball games.

The variety enterta inment will include both men and women students talented in singing, specialty and instrumenta l work. Still other diversions a nd entertainments a re being planned by the committee in cha rge.

D AYTON-MARSHALL A smooth fun ctioning a nd undefeated M a rshall basketba ll team stopped the F lyers' winning streak a t five games with a 40 to 3 7 victory at the Coliseum. Fourteen hundred fans were on hand to see a game in which the lead changed several times (See MARSHALL- Page 7)

As I a m employed in the engineering profession in a supervisory capacity, I am very interested in this subject and I would deeply appreciate receiving a copy of your address.

If there is any cost involved, please send me a bill a t your earliest convenience.

The fact that we are in the process of moving into our newly built home made it impossible for us to attend the Homecoming game this year.

Please give my regards to all of the Brothers and to the Alumni Secretary. With kindest personal regards, I remain, Your former student, John A. Fisher '35 16520 Lesure Ave., Detroit, Mich.

VISITS BOYSTOWN

To BROTH ER THOMAS PRICE, DEAR BRo. ToM: Many thanks for keeping me on the mailing list. Every copy of the "Exponent" brings with it a cloud of memories- all happy ones. It's odd the way a few years wash away trifling contretemps and leave the solid truth. That truth is tha t the "Exponent" was a grand opportunity, an educative force disguised in the pleasantest possible way.

Such talk hould come from an "old timer," which you know I'm not. The pudding has not been proved yet. But even the young have memories. With the "Exponent" mine go back to Bro. Boll, Hoefl er, Nick Didishko, Galstaun and how ma ny others !

There were my first scribbles, too, when John Will wielded the blue pencil. But the ladies- There's a new note. R a re birds in the old magazme.

W e are all well a nd the children a re growing rapidly. They are a source of great joy to us and thank God for having blessed us with them.

In spite of our world outlook I feel we will emerge from our presen t strife, suffering a nd unrest, a better, saner a nd more religious people. It may take a long time, but it will come. \,Ye saw signs and ma ny of them that indicated a great need for improvement in the moral and spiritual life of our people. W e h ave been very greedy in a m a terial sense and very loose in a moral way. One need only to look a t the pictures on many magazine covers on any news tand to understa nd our "drift."

Dorothy and the children join me in wishing for you a very merry Christmas and a hap py new year.

and the fin al outcome was not decided till the very Ia t seconds of the game.

With Bob K avana ugh, J erry Westendorf and Hook M cCloskey faking and firing with success that surprised the H erd in the first half, the Flyers led most of the time and went into their dressing room a t halftime with a 21-20 lead. Westy got seven points and K avanaugh and M cCloskey each had six in the initial half.

As the second half began the Flyers gained a 27 to 22 lead, but at this point were stopped cold while M a rshall was tieing the score and going into a 35 to 30 lead with seven minutes remaining. Westendorf tossed in a ba ket to put the Flyers only two points behind but this was as dose as they got.

K ava naugh led the Flyers in scoring with 14 points and Westendorf had 12. Morecraft was the big gun in the M arshall attack with 13 points.

The Flyers dropped their second game in a row on January 13, bowing to the Bobcats of Ohio U. at Athens by the one-point m argin of 36 to 35. The D ayton team got off to a fin e start and a t the h alf held a 19 to 15 lead.

The Bobcats bounced back strong in the econd h alf and soon had knotted the score at 19-all, a fter which they went into a lead which they never relinquished.

It was not until only six minutes rema ined in the contest that the Flyers found the range. At this point the Bobcats were leading 35 to 26.

Three quick baskets by Don Claudepierre, sophomore center, left the Flyers on ly one point behind with 55 seconds remaining. However, the Flyers missed on three a ttempts a t long shots and the game ended with the 36- 35 count.

Don Claudepierre was the big gun in the Flyer a ttack, tossing in even fi eld goals and a foul for 15 point .

DAYTON-XAVIER ALUMNI CAMPAIGN ENDS WITH $2047 Details of 1942 Drive To Be Announced Soon

With the close of 1941 , the University of D ayton Alumni Association fund stood at $2047.50 or slightly more than h alf the hopedfor goal. While disappointing in a sense, this figure still represents an increase of nea rly 300 % over the preceding year. 1942 promises another increase with highest possibilities for the realiza tion of the goal of $4000- actual cost of operating the Associa tion for a year.

Those alumni making contributions in December included William A. Fritz, Miamisburg; H erman A. Lorenz, Belleville, Ill. ; Lt. Elmer J. Will , Sitka, Alaska ($5.00 ); George B. Binlein, Pittsburgh, Pa . ( $5.00.)

To Cha rle F. Sucher, Dayton, went the honor of h aving made the first contribution to the 1942 fund.

His check was received J anuary 2.

The m ethod of conducting the 1942 Alumni Fund will be discussed at the next meeting of the Alumni Association Board of Directors.

Overcoming a great height advantage with spectacular defensive play, the University of D ayton basketball team defeated X avier 46 to 32 before 2000 fans at the Coliseum.

All the Flyers chimed in to park the drive, which sta rted a fter the score was tied at eight all la te in the first quarter. Forward Jerry Westendorf sta rted it with an underbasket shot which followed brilliant passwork by Bill Knisley and Bob K avanaugh and the Flyers went into the lead for the first time 10 to 8.

The Dayton team continued to find the m a rk and were in front, 19 to 14, as the half ended.

The deadly basket eye of Bob Kavanaugh and the fin e floor play of Cha rley McCloskey paced the Flyers in the second half and with two minutes remaining in the game had built up a 41 to 29 lead. At thi s point Coach Carter began to substitute freely but the Flyers continued to roll a nd as the game ended held a 46 to 32 m argin.
