MIAMI VALLEY CHAPTER MEETING scheduled for

Feh.2l,l949 Student Union Bu ilding U.D. Campus

Elliot Lawr en ce F eatured for Prom The traditional prom sponsored by the Junior Class h as been set for Friday, F ebruary 11, 1949. Students and their friends will d ance from 9 :00 p .m. until 1 :00 a.m. a t Lakeside Ballroom. The affair will be open only to students and alumni. The price of tickets will b e $3.75 p er couple. TicketS' will be on sale a t the University of D ayton only. No tickets will be sold a t the door.

Elliot Lawrence and his orch estra will drop anch or here for the second Friday in F ebrua ry for the annual affair. Coming direct from successful engagements in all sections of the country, this fast-rising aggregation is probably the most talked about ba nd along the lanes of tin-pan alley. N ever before in the entire history of the music business h as a band captured the imagina tion of the m en who guide the music along its paths of fame an d glory.

Starting with a triumphant engagement a t the Hotel Pennsylvania in N ew York City, Lawrence took his boys across the country on an extended ballroom, hotel, location, and theater tour. Within a very short period of time this 23-year-old leader had become the biggest n ame among collegiate cro'!Vds. His ra pidly growing reputation was clinch ed by appearances a t the M eadowbrook in New J ersey. After seven months of travel and h ard work, L awrence hit the ultimate achievement of all nam e bands - the Pa ramount Theater in Times Square, following the footsteps of such immortals as Benny Goodm a n , Sta n K enton , H a rry J ames, Tommy Dorsey, and Glenn Mill er. Elliot h as em erged as the brightest edition of youth ever to play the Paramount. At this top spot of the musical circuit, Lawrence h as proved his ability to lead a band before audien ces which were extremely critical.

M embers of the Junior Class, who are acting as chairmen of resp ective committees are: Pete Kuntz, General Chairman ; V era Seiler, Programs; Ben Ambrose, Publicity ; D ominic Gallo, Tickets ; Charles Mudd, D ecora tions; and Bob T ormey, M aster of Ceremonies.

An invita tion is extended to all alumni within the Miami V alley area to enjoy an evening of good entertainment and dancing at Lakeside on F ebruary 11.

H UGH N. BROWN Publicity D ir ector Ed. Note : Word of the con sol idation of the Dayton Jou rnal and Dayton He rald under th e owne rsh ip of the Dayton Daily Ne w s came th rough a s the Alumnus was ready to go to pre ss. Mr. Brown fe el s that many of th e p roblems pointed out in th e articl e bel ow w ill no w be si mplified,

This is it - the real story of the University of D ayton 's current publicity program. The following expl anation is not advanced as a "we're young, we're learning" a pology, but ra ther as a n informal report or resume on the actual sta te of U.D.'s 1948 publicity a nd prospects for 1949.

Before plunging into the more potent phases of the message a few brief facts rela tive to the publicity depa rtment should be noted.

1. The department, under the new director, was reorganized only six months ago. Condition of the department at that time necessitated practically complete renovation - a task accomplished during the football season-the busiest period of the year.

2. Present staff is comprised of the director, a sports assistant, and three part time workers.

3. Academic and athletic publicity - plus many public relations activities fall within office jurisdiction.

4. University enrollment is at an unprecedented high at present.

To cap r0utine office activity and rebuilding problems, University of Dayton was plagued this past fall by a series of unfortunate, difficult to control incidents (95 % of which could in no way be attributed to errors of omission or commission by the department or the university ). These circumstances did much to off-set in varying degrees the effectiveness of six months of constructive effort by a conscientious publicity staff.

There is little to be gained by relating one or several of the now notorious happenings instrumental in spreading the U . of D . across the pages of American newspapers, but a mention should be made of the fact that the university and publicity department are emerging stronger and wiser as a result. The many local news stories and promotional pieces the department and assigned newspapermen processed did much to cushion the ill-effects and deaden the

repercussions ansmg from the episodes. With the office now fully equipped and staffed by competent personnel we expect to provide throughout the remainder of the academic year an even thicker underlayer of constructive stories to counterbalance detrimental publicity. With enrollment a t 3424 plus an additional four or five hundred associated persons there are a pproximately 4000 possibilities for the human quotient to play havoc with carefully laid plans.

Local Press Comp lete In amount a nd caliber local press coverage (especially in a thletics ) was as complete a nd va ried as the university had ever known, notwithta nding the unethical and often illfounded stories which scarred, but certainly did not lay-up the patient permanently. Locally this stemmed from a highly competitive newspaper set-up.

All fall this pa ttern was the same - find a n ew angle on the routine material and forever watch for the scoop. Sometimes the relentless digging for scraps of truth on which to base a story became a travesty on true journalism.

Only a few persons were guilty, but they had all the weapons. With personal ambitions and like motives the driving force, U.D. received rough treatment on borderline cases (could have been played down as well as written u p ). An isolated few chose to sacrifice on the altar of self-advancement the standing of a traditional, respected institution.

NationallyIncidents Made News Nationally, it was a matter of pure news, analyzed objectively, and carried in proportion to merit as d etermined by editors of wire services and newspapers. Father George J. R enneker, S.M., President, told the press, "We like to make the front page, but not that way." These facts stand out - first, University of Dayton did crack most of the metropolitan papers throughout the land, and second and much more important, EVERYONE KNOWS THERE IS A UNIVER SITY OF D AYTON.

Time To Act Our job is to act-it is imperative that we move q uickly and thoroughly. Now that national attention has been directed to University of Dayton we can turn what appears to be a momentary defeat into a triumph by showing the true contribution the

4

university is making day in and day out through the years.

With the orientation period over and the office prepared it will be a comparatively easy task to gear the program a few notches higher and produce a volume of favorable U. of D. publicity. The end result will be an impregnable bulwark against the likelihood of whimsical public opinion shifting to the negative- a t least too far or too fast.

Department Offers Facts In the months to come there will be no excuses offered and we hope no need for apologies. Following this policy of meeting all criticism, constructive or otherwise, with facts, the department offers an answer to this query posed by several alumni : WHY DIDN'T OUR LOCAL PAPERS CARRY MORE NEWS ABOUT U.D.'s GREAT BALL CLUB THIS PAST FALL? After considerable checking on a local level and a thorough study of our own office techniques a nd practices we went to Fritz Howell, Sports Editor of the Associa ted Press R egional Office in Columbus, Ohio (our central feed contact for national coverage ) .

Conversation follows: BROWN: Fritz, did you get our material during the season?

HOWELL : Yes we did- it came in regular and in good shape.

BR OWN : Can you give us suggestions or do you have any criticism to make regarding our activity?

HOWELL: Nothing, except in some instances it was a little long.

(Notice tha t- too much, NOT too little !)

BR OWN: We understand from some of our alumni that papers in eastern cities and other metropolitan sheets throughout the country often failed to carry our scores.

HOWELL: We sent the scores out by quarters for national consumption and blanketed the area with lengthy stories fil ed by Dayton correspondents. It shows that papers simply didn't use the Dayton material due to space shortage or the editors felt the geographical distance meant few readers interested.

BR OWN: That proves what we surmised-newspapers in points fa r distant from Dayton found it physically impossible to carry a paragraph or two regarding a game or even a score listing since there were so many contests going on throughout the nation on a given Saturday. They must have selected only major category schools and those in the area of their readership.

HOWELL : That's it as I see it.

BROWN: Would it h lp to contact all AP affilia te papers in areas having large numbers of U.D. graduates a nd request that they carry our material in the future?

HOWELL: It might help, however, the best and most sure fire method would be to inform your alumni through the Alumni publication of the problem. These individuals, or' those desiring to read about University of Dayton football could solve the whole matter b y placing a telephone call to their local paper with the request that at least U.D. scores be carried. If enough calls come in you can bet the papers will cover th e game.

BROWN: We have been getting United Pres coverage also, so if the grads' favorite paper h appens to be a n affi liate of U nited Press the same procedure should also work.

HOWELL : Right.

Bro. Elmer C. Lackner, university registrar, was present and heard the a bove conver ation.

We a re getting letters off to all m ajor papers in a reas showing a concentra tion of University of D ayton gradua te , however, as Howell pointed out, you, the graduates, a re in a positi on to do much more.

Big Job-Next Fall There is a tremendous job facing the depa rtment next fall when the office will be expected to coopera te with th e Society of M a ry in the year long Triple-Centennia l observance.

No one knows better than those working in the depa rtment tha t the road ah ead is long, a nd bound to be rough occasionally. Work on the enlarged, gala homecoming and the Flyer Gridiron, official football program, convinced the staff tha t planning is only one fourth of publicity with the remainder being perspira tion wrung out in the glare of midnight oil.

U .D .'s football program, incidentally, was adjudged by experts as one of the outstanding grid publications in the na tion .

We are a pprecia tive of the faith a nd vision displayed b y the admini tration a nd for the cooperation extended by the faculty, students, al umni, citizens of D ayton and fri ends of the university. Each group has contributed immeasurably in building a publicity program, which although far from the ultimate, nevertheless is living and growing.

LATE BULLETIN: U. D. Flyers Defeated Marshall College 67-55 Ginn has e merged high point man in the two las t g ames .

THE LITTLE GIANT Flag bearer for the little man i Bob Flynn, " the little giant." The 5'7" , 140 pounds of concentra ted hardwood ace hails from " down 'th ar' a:bout Lexington" in the blue grass region of K entucky. Master Robert h as it- the ability to deliver and look good a t the same time. Finesse, fa ke a nd more finesse makes him the mos t feared clutch pl ayer on the squad . In the win over Louisville, one of the top ranking clubs of the country thi year and NIAB winner a nd Olympic trial club of last year, Bob iced the game for the Flyers in the last minute of play.

H e scores often a nd timely. His 5.6 average is not indicative of his true worth to the club as a scoring threat.

In gathering 62 points in eleven games Flynn h as not seen too much playing time. It is a continual source of amazement to students of the court game to see Fl ynn 's sense of pacing

a nd basketba ll sixth sense come to his aid in a crucial moment- it may be in the form of a set shot arching gracefull y into the center of the net, or a speedy burst past a gua rd who knows he ha the eva ive Bob covered.

Flynn has gone great all year with the exception of the recently completed eastern trip du ring the holidays. Snow in th e east seemed to bog Bob down, maybe the snow chilled his thin blood, but since returning to the confine of D ayton's Coliseum Flynn's play is warming the blood and heart of every Flyer rooter.

GENE THE GHOST Last, but not least, is Gene Joseph, a great scholastic ball player from the cradle of outstanding high school ball M artins F erry, Ohio. " Ghost" Joseph is a speed merchant and despite a ra ther muscle bound appearing 5' 9" has netted 69 points in 11 encounters.

H e has a surprising amount of routine for a young ball player and is a consta nt threat on moving one handed shot driving in from the side court. His aggressiveness on defense has been a big factor in Flyer successes this winter.

University of D ayton cagers defeated Manchester of Indiana 57-48 in a hotly contested game in the F airgrounds Coliseum Tuesday, J anuary 4. The previously undefea t~d Hoosier combine ran up a ten pomt lead as the Flyer first string scouted the opponent from the bench- ( the Eastern trip made it impossible for Coach Blackburn or his men to see the M anchester club prior to the game) . The first line Flyer club erased nine points of the lead in the first half and finish ed the game going away. Bill Ginn was U .D .'s high point man with 16 markers.

Dropping their second contest to a tough Eas tern K entucky Sta te squad 40-48 the Flyer bounced back to upset Louisville, last year's NIAB cha mps, 58-55 and followed with a victory over a powerful J ohn Carroll club 48-46. Cooling a hot Ceda rville combine 70-64 and dropping the next contest to Mi a mi 37-41 , the Flyers closed the home sta nd.

HOLIDAY TRIP STORMY T aking to the road for the first Eastern swing in the history of the university the red and blue cagers dropped three out of four gam es, but emerged with plenty of prestige a nd an invit,ation to come back every year. Eastern offi cia ting (which i exceptionally close) plus the grind of traveling snow bound roads a nd m eeting top flight opposition with little res t took some of the fun out of the trip. N evertheless, the Flyers' brand of ball was consistently good and the cl ub received a favorable press at every stop.
