University of Rich ALUMNI BULLETIN/FALL 1970
Editor'sComment Change is in the wind at the University of Richmond. You can feel it as you walk about the beautiful, rolling campus. There is a feeling of excitement and anticipation. Some of the changes are immedinew 225 bed ately noticeable-the Lakeside dormitory for men and the excavation and constru -ction at the site of the new athletic center. But other changes, not so readily seen by the casual visitor, are also taking place. And these changes should have great effect on the way the university lives and works. Severa I new persons have been hired to help relieve many of the burdensome duties of the administra-
tion. A university business manager, a personnel director, a controller, an executive director of development and his staff of four have been hired during the past year. These new persons are making it possible for the university's top leaders to concentrate their energies on the subject which most needs their attention, the job of guiding the university to a position ranking with the nation's best. Another change will be quite evident as you leaf through this issue of the University Bulletin. As the new editor, I hope you will like the changes in format and style. I will be happy to receive your comments. JAC

c__A.Search for Relevance
Plotting orientation activities at the University would have taken a map of the city and enough pin-pointing flags to make the map resemble the strategy board of the European Theater. Allies were faculty, upper classmen and Freshmen successfully united against time. Their mission: Survey and invade as many spheres of relevant knowledge as possible within one week. This year the battle grounds were on bold new fronts in addition to the old one of successful introduction to college. At Richmond College there were straight-fromthe-shoulder talks and discussions on "How the University Lives and works," "Coping in College: Sex, Drugs and Stress," "Study Skills and Refer-

ence Skills," "Student Politics on Campus," "Alienation Today: Why the Generation Gap?" "Student Culture and Academic Effort," "The New Morality," "The Rights and Responsibilities of Students," "National Student Political Movements" and others. Experts from the city and a deputy assistant attorney general from Washington lent further scope. Westhampton College joined in these and undertook, in addition, 10 seminars based on "Concept of the 20th Century." Divided voluntarily into groups led by faculty advisors, each seminar had some 20 participants among the Freshmen who had signed up during the summer. Armed with background material gleaned from suggested
books, the students studied "Existentialism Imagination," "An Introduction to Art," "Why Theater," "The New Morality," "What's New in Music," "Human Biology in the 20th Century," "Knowledge for Survival in the 70s" "History, Revolutions-Then and Now," "The Crisis in the City," and "The Nature of Man." No You-Meand-The-Book sessions these! The seminars of two formal meetings allowed for a third to be fixed by the participants; hence the implication of a non-terminal program. During the second session of the art seminar, students toured the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts with a guide; they enthusiastically voted for a third session of ex-
fine arts, science, techdisciplines-humanities, nology, history, sociology." Dr. Austin E. Grigg, Dean of Richmond College, noted during his address early in the orientation week, "Why do we in higher education live and work? We exist in order that man may study himself, his creations, his universe and the ideas man has recorded about the nature of existence. We are here to help you to grow and to expand your insights. We are knowledge curators and mind stretchers and riddle seekers. We are engaged in the most exciting venture of all-to help you to find your answer to what existence is all about."
perimentation in the art department. A tour of the A. H. Robins production and research departments highlighted the "Knowledge for Survival in the 70's" seminary. The crisis in the city was seen firsthand on a tour that included contrasting residential neighborhoods, industrial areas and illustrative spots along the James River, as well as traditional landmarks and historical data. The deans of students in the two divisions of the University explained the innovations with a justifiable trace of pride. "The outcome of an evaluation between freshman and faculty last year was a strong feeling that our orientation needed more emphasis on meaty, intellectual matters," said William E. Baker of Richmond College. "This meant confrontation of the problems that bother students as members of the university and as people. It was agreed that lectures were not the whole answer; we needed group interaction, and we needed individual concern. We only had two big meetings and the rest were voluntary small groups." "Freshmen expect some sort of intellectual experience from college even in the first week," said Westhampton's Miss Clara M. Keith, quickly pinpointing the value of a freshman's characteristic eagerness to learn. "In structuring this experience, we hoped to lay the foundation for development of skills of reasoning, critical and creative, and to encourage the results to carry over into classroom experience later. We selected a broad topic for our seminars," she continued, "to give information from the viewpoint of many

Student orientation committee members and their faculty advisors began a "Mutual Admiration Society" when the copious planning began last year. As plans became reality, the society freshmen and other gained new members-the faculty members who were called in for service. Jon Smith, Gaston Williams, Jane Alphin, Linda student leaders-were Dix, Marilu Dixon-the quick to point out the most impressive aspect of all in orientation week-the freshmen responded with enthusiasm.

Alumnae-AlumniWill Honor Dr.Modlin at "AnEveningwith the President" Alumni, alumnae and parents in several Virginia cities and Washington, D .C., have the opportunity to share a delightful evening of conversation, good food and serious talk about the University of Richmond with Dr. and Mrs . George M . Modlin. Dr. and Mrs . Modlin are being honored during special alumnae-alumni dinner meetings in Norfolk, Washington, D .C., Roanoke, the Peninsula, Fredericksburg, Lynchburg and Martinsville. "An Evening With The President" will feature a social hour prior to dinner . After dinner, Dr. Modlin will talk about his experiences as president of the University of Richmond. Dr. Madlin's valedictory tour will offer an opportunity for former students to enjoy his comments on the quarter-century he has directed the affairs of the university. In his 25 years as president, the University of Richmond has added 13 major buildings and the student body has grown from 2,296 to approximately 7,000 enrolled in
the current session. At the same time, the university's endowment has grown from approximately $3 million to more than $51,000,000 . It certainly has been a great era of growth for the university . There were many challenges for Dr. Modlin . All alumnae and alumni are encouraged to attend "An Evening With The President" when it occurs in their areas. The dates and cities where the meetings will be held are: October 22 .......... ......Norfolk October 29 ..... .. ........ Washington November 17 . ..... .. . ... Roanoke November 24 ........ Fredericksburg December 3 .... . ..... . . ............. Lynchburg December 8 . .. . . ... ..Peninsula December 10 ... Martinsville Specific details as to time and meeting locations will be publicized by local Alumnae-Alumni leaders.
Search is on for New President Students and faculty are aiding the Selection Committee in the search for a new president to replace Dr. Modlin, who has announced his retirement to be effective on or before June 30, 1971. A committee of five faculty members and seven trustees is undertaking the mammoth job of considering the qualifications of what could number several hundred candidates. The faculty members represent the faculties of Westhampton College, Richmond College, the School of Business Administration, the T. C. Williams School of Law, and University College. Members of the faculties of these divisions have been invited to submit the names of persons whom they wish to be considered . Students too have had an opportunity to voice their opinions to the Selection Committee. The presidents of the student governments of the University have met with members of the committee
6
after discussing candidates with their constituences. Alumni have been encouraged to submit the names of prospective candidates.
Dr. Robert T. Marsh, Jr., Rector of the Board of Trustees, has requested that any persons who desire to suggest candidates for the University presidency shou Id submit those names with complete biographical information to the Selection Committee. This information may be sent to Dean C. J. Gray, Secretary, Selection Committee, University of Richmond, Virginia 23173.
E NEW Annual Giving Program
mphasizing Quality Education is a fitting theme for the New Annual Giving Program," announced National Chairman Joseph A. Jennings, Jr. '49 at the Kickoff luncheon on September 15, 1970. "When Claiborne gave his gift he said that this is where the emphasis should lie." The occasion was the launching of the 1970-71 Annual Giving Campaign with a goal of $215,000.
DISCUSSING THE NEW ANNUAL GIVING PROGRAM are Rawley F. Daniel, '40, of United Virginia Bankshares, who will handle the Telefund; C. Porter Vaughan, Jr., '40, a Richmond realtor, who will serve as chairman of the University of Richmond Fellows; and Joseph A. Jennings, Jr., '49, executive vice president of United Virginia / State Planters, national chairman of the program.
A
ccording to D. Chris Withers, the University's Director of Annual Giving, the campaign will seek to increase participation in giving to more than 30 per cent over last year, when $182,000 was raised from alumni and friends. "Mr. Joseph E. Nettles, who directed the Alumni Fund over the past 21 years has built a solid base on which the fund can grow. There were 2,400 gifts last year and we hope to raise this to approximately 3,200," Withers said. More than 1,000 volunteers will be engaged in soliciting funds for the University in the annual fund drive. "There will be more personal contacts as well as a massive telephone campaign," Withers added. Alumnus and Trustee E. Claiborne Robins will again match new and increased gifts. Funds raised in the drive will be used to offset current operating expenses of the University, including faculty salaries and increased library holdings. Among those who will assist Jennings will be Robert T. Marsh, Jr. '22, Rector of the Board of Trustees of the University, who will serve as chairman of Trustee contributions and Richmond attorney John W. Edmonds 111,alumni chairman. Others are William B. Thalhimer, Jr., a Richmond business executive, who will serve as chairman of the Associates, which is made up of non-alumni and other friends. And, C. Porter Vaughan, Jr. '40, a Richmond real estate executive and University Trustee, who will serve as chairman of the new University of Richmond Fellows program, which seeks gifts of $100 or more. Rawley F. Daniel '40 of United Virginia Bankshares will handle the Telefund campaign. Jack Null '47, a real estate executive, will serve as athletic liaison chairman, Mrs. James H. Donohue Ill, W. C. '40, will be Westhampton College liaison chairman, and Judge George Giammittorio of Alexandria will be the Parents Organization Chairman. A unified approach among all constituencies will be employed in this years effort-each profiting by the competitive success of the other. Including parents, who for the first time will be solicited on an organized basis, and other Associates, as well as her loyal alumni, the University has over 15,000 prospects. Each will be solicited either by one or a combination of the personal, telephone, and direct mail methods. The main thrust will be in accomplishing two objectives: 1. MORE new gifts, no matter what size they are. 2. MORE individuals becoming University of Richmond Fellows, a program comprised of three prestigious clubs of $100 or more. Century Club membership will be extended to those alumni, parents, and other friends who give as much as $100 but less than $500; President's Club membership to givers of from $500 to $999; Rector's Club membership to those who give $1,000 or more. "Personally, I am enthusiastic about the new thrust of our Annual Giving Program and hope that you share our enthusiasm. Utilizing the best of our previous campaigns as a springboard for a more intensive effort of wider scope, I feel confident of success. The raising of $215,000 will be one step in the achievement of the University's program of "Emphasizing Quality Education." GIVE and thus SHARE in this exciting venture," concluded National Chairman Jennings.

ADMISSIONS UPDATE:
he Challenge of Change for the '70's By: Dale W. Donovanand Thomas N. Pollard Jr., '53
In the sixties the tide of World War II babies surged out of high schools and flooded college admissions offices with applications. Admissions directors could pick and choose. That's all over. Colleges-especially small liberal arts institutions-are struggling to get enough qualified students. Richmond College faces a serious dilemma -either accept fewer students and a smaller entering class or lower the quality of those accepted and take students whose chances are limited. Here's what happened. The population explosion of the late and post war years has subsided, and this group has come and gone throu gh overcrowded classrooms and temporary housing. Government has acted to create community colleges, technical vocational schools, to enlarge state schools, and to a lesser extent, to aid some private colleges. The facilities needed a decade ago are nearing reality. More important, this progress has enabled colleges to enroll better students. At Richmond the quality of students has increased gradually and steadily. In 1961, the median combined Math and Verbal scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT) for incoming freshmen was 914. In 1969, the median score was 1047. In 1961, 23% of the entering freshmen had ranked in the bottom half of their high school
graduating classes. In 1969, less than 10% were in the bottom half of their class (the majority from small private schools). In addition 10% more ranked in the upper Ÿ in 1969 than in 1961. There have been steady gains at the higher levels of incoming freshmen and dramatic improvement at the lower levels. The incoming freshmen, are better prepared to succeed. An even more vital statistic is the remarkable increase in those who complete four years and receive their diploma. In 1951, only ½ of the class that entered in 1947 graduated. In 1969, 54% of those who entered four years earlier received degrees. Better prepared students and a more careful admissions policy and procedure have helped the college do a better job. With the increase in quality has come an increase in costs, an extremely important factor in the admissions process. Those unable to afford the cost are unlikely to apply or accept even if admitted. Therefore, the number of students able to come to Richmond is limited. Also a student should have SAT scores of 1000 to 1100 and a "C+" to "B" average to expect reasonable success at Richmond. This limits the number of students from which to draw for admission . Recent studies estimate that the number in this group in the entire United States is between 70,000 and 100,000. As our recruiting efforts have been restricted 9
primarily to Virginia, we are dealing with an extremely small group of potential Richmond College students. We find that students feel the University of Virginia, William and Mary, and to a lesser extent VPI, have more tradition, more facilities, and better images -all at considerably lower prices. A survey that we conducted revealed that more than half of those students who turned us down chose to go to one of these schools . It is an extremely competitive market, and we are not doing nearly well enough. Each year we are forced to offer admission to more than 700 students to come up with a freshman class of 350 . Our survey revealed also that students chose to go elsewhere even though accepted at Richmond for five principle reasons: (1) The cost was too high; (2) geographic location (i.e. most Richmond area and many Virginia students wish to go farther from home); (3) a particular course of study was not available (primarily engineering); (4) would prefer a coeducational institution; (5) did not know enough about the University of Richmond . Obviously, we must recruit more energetically, particularly in view of the last reason . Ther e is certainly much that prospective students should know about the University of Richmond that would persuade them to come here. Why do students come to the University of Richmond and just what do we have to sell them? We think the leading factors have to do with size and location. We have university facilities and the "look" of a large school, but at the same time each division of the Uni versity is small enough to be personal in its interest in the individual. In an era when colleges and universities are becoming stereotyped as dehumanized and computer controlled, a concerned teaching faculty is particularly appealing to a 17 or 18 year old seeking an academic and social home for the next four years. We have become an urban oriented culture-the city is "where the action is." At the same time, however, the 10
city is shaken by problems that make living there unattractive to many. Our campus , located in suburbia, offers the cultural, social, and educational advantages of a large progressive city and virtually none of the disadvantages. Geographic location is also favorable . We are far enough away from the massive urban centers of the mid-Atlantic and Northeast to give the student the opportunity to live in a different region than his own. But the distance does not make transportation difficult or expensive. The University has improved in several ways which are particularly appealing to prospective students. There has been recent emphasis on increasing students privileges and responsibilities which lets the student manage his own academic and social affairs to a greater extent. Changes in the curriculum have and will continue to motivate, generate, and enhance the liberal arts education . The completion of permanent housing with the addition of the new dormitory has made for more attractive living conditions. The new Athletic Center will offer recreation facilities unsur passed in Virginia . We have a great deal to offer students, and we must do so more aggressively. Alumni are an important part of the recruiting program. By giving
an accurate picture of the school as it exists now with its many appealing features for today's students and by recalling the traditions and values which still remain, alumni provide valuable help both to the University and to young men seeking a sound education. What sort of student should be encouraged to attend the University of Richmond? The academic statistics are important-a "C+" to "B" average in a college preparatory curriculum, 1000 to 1100 on the combined SAT scores. Also important is the kind of contribution this young man will make to the University. The college needs students who will contribute to the building of a great school rather than the destruction of it. We have been exremely fortunate in the past in having this kind of student, and we must continue to find this type . We are concerned with accepting students who will succeed in college, both in and out of the classroom . Although we feel there are certain indications of potential success or failure, we do not have a specific requirement or level a student must meet to be considered for admission. We look instead for evidence that the student will be successfulboth for his own benefit and for the well being of the school. Well informed, enthusiastic alumni can be important part of this success.
oach Frank Jones' University of Richmond Spiders opened their season with a surprising 21-6 upset victory over N.C. State but crippling injuries to the depth-shy squad playing a rugged schedule do not make the future look too bright. Richmond was no match for nationally ranked West Virginia and fell, 49-10. The Spiders' offense didn't click and Davidson upset the Red and Blue, 14-5. The offense played well enough against Southern Mississippi but the defense couldn't contain the Southerners and UR bowed in the heat at Hattiesburg, 43-21. The 1968 Tangerine Bowl triumph over Ohio University was a great thing for Richmond football but it had one bad effect. It put the Spider coaches behind on their recruiting. The following year's freshman team wasn't a very good one and so there are few good sophomores this season. Next year should be a good one for the Spiders from the standpoint of depth . This season's freshmen appear to be the best ever recruited . They showed that in a 27-7 romp over the VMI Rats in their first test as Fullback Barty Smith ran for 106 yards and Weldon Edwards, the school's first Negro player, scampered 4 7 yards on a pitch out for a touchdown. The Spiders played a great opening game against N .C. State. Quarterback Charlie Richards completed 17 of 25 passes for 198 yards and a touchdown, completing nine in a row at one time, and was named Southern Conference Offensive Player of the Week. The line blocked effectively and Buddy Woodle and Jerry Mauro ran well to give the Spiders a balanced at-
C
tack. Woodle ground out 101 yards in 25 carries and Mauro picked up 49 in 11 carries. Linebacker Pat Morris was a standout in the defense that limited the W olfpack to 142 yards rushing . He had 15 tackles. West Virginia had a total offense of 640 yards against the Spiders, 243 passing and 397 yards rushing. The Spiders, with Woodle hurt early in the game, were limited to eight yards rushing but Richards completed 17 of 42 passes for 129 yards, including a two-yard scoring pass to Flanker Jerry Haynes. Keith Clark kicked a 31-yard field goal for Richmond. West Virginia scored three times on running plays, three times on passes and again on a 37-yard punt return. The Spiders dropped a number of passes, UR missing five scoring chances, as Davidson defeated Richmond for the second year in a row. Richmond's scores came on a 23-yard field goal by Clark and a safety. Davidson scored on a 21 yard pass from Quarterback Mark Thompson to Fullback Mike Milolayunas and a one-yard run by Bill Bracken set up by a 73-yard punt return by Rick Lyon . Richmond ~ played well enough offensively against Southern Miss is sip pi but the defense couldn't contain the Southerners' Larry Moulton (119 yards rushing) and the passing of Rick Donegan (14 of 18 for 207 yards). The Spiders scored on a one-yard run by Richards following a fumble recovery by Tackle John Barelli, a 51-yard pass play from Richards to Haynes and Mauro's one-yard plunge set up by a 38yard pass interception by Linebacker Chuck Hall. Considering everything, the Spiders are performing creditably .

Report
Says Coach Lewis Mills; "We will be a young team , inexperienced at the start of the season , but with much better size, speed and quickness than past Richmond teams . We should mature as the season goes along because of tougher scheduling outside the conference with such teams as Jack<llliir. r: sonville, Cincinnati and Mary~ ~\,. ..·• .···•· ' . on our ~ land schedule. " Three starters who carried to Richmond Jim Hewitt the finals of the Southern Conference tournament return. They are Jim Hewitt, 6-8 senior center who was top scorer (14.6) and top rebounder (8.5); John Welch (6.4) , 6-4 junior forward , and Phil Bushkar , 6-2 senior guard who posted a 6.1 point mark. Stan Ryfinski, 6-7 senior forward , was a regular before he was struck down after 15 games with mononucleosi s. He had a 9 .1 point average . Hewitt hit on 55.4 per cent of his field goal attempts ( 158-285) and Ryfinski popped in 86 per cent (37-43) of his free throw tries. Four sophomores from last season's excellent freshman team ( 15-4) will push the four lettermen for starting jobs. They are Mike Anastasio, 6-1 guard who averaged 18.5 points for the frosh ; Roger Hatcher , 6-5 guard and forward with a 16.9 average ; Joe Dauses , 6-8 forward and center with a 9.4 point and 8.5 rebound mark for the frosh , and Ray Amann , 6-9 center who averaged 15 points and 11.7 rebounds . Mills says Hewitt was the most consistent player last year. He thinks Welch came along fast and has developed into one of the S.C.'s top players. He 's very aggressive defensively. He thought Bushkar played well in the last 10 games of the season . He has moves that cause problem s for the opposition. Ryfinski and junior forward Clarke Wiseman can provide offensive fireworks. Mills believes Anastasio , who had an outstanding freshman year against some of the best frosh competition in the country , gives every indication of becoming one of the finest performers in the S.C. as a sophomore. He has great quickness and confidence on the floor . Hatcher has great natural ability and quickness , is a fine defensive player and anticipates well on both offense and defense.

Sorensen, vice president for university relations of the University of California , April 27. Nader first made headlines in 1965 with the publication of his book, "Unsafe At Any Speed, " which charged the auto industry of failing to insure safety in their products . Recently, he has worked in other areas of consumer issues, including the sanitary issues in the meat and fish industry, the dangers of radiation over exposure in the course of medical and dental X-rays, gas-pipeline safety and environmental hazards such as air and water pollution. Gregory, who reached national recog14

ChoirCollectingGreenStamps for EuropeanTour "Take my gasoline bingo ticket, take away my grocery carry-out service, but PLEASE don't touch my Green Stamps." That is what the average consumer is likely to feel when asked for his collection of trading sta mps. The little green fringe benefits have been doled out through many a painful contest of trying to make ends meet. And yet, the University of Richmond choir has the gall to ask you for your S&H Green Stamps. If the choir can collect 16,000 books of Green Stamps, it will redeem them for $32,000 cash. This is the amount needed to finance an 18-day concert tour of London, Berlin, Munich , Vienna and_ Paris. WCVE , Educational Television station, plans to film the trip for a series of documentary programs which will be distributed on a nationwide basis through the National Educational Television network. There is a possibility that British Broadcasting Corporation may use the finished programs in its 17-nation network. International repr ese ntation hopefully will be a happy consulation for the lost hose, scale or dish! Our choir is an excellent one and is well able to represent our University. However, to do this work it needs your help. Without your stamps and moral support, the friend-making tour on behalf of the University is but a pipe dream . The deadline is February. Won't you go through that kitchen drawer and rummage for the stamps? Those little green stamps heaped together through our mass effort will mean and be so much more than they could ever be in individual groups. Send them loose or send them pasted in their books, but please send them to Mr. James B. Erb, Music Department , University of Richmond, Virginia, 23173. 22
Poll IndicatesOnlya Few Use Drugsat UR Only a sma ll pe rcentage of st udents at the University of Richmond use drugs, according to a poll of a random samp le of on-campus stude nts compiled by two psychology majors. T he survey was conducted last May by Rodney Griffith , a senior, and Henry Patterson, who is now doing graduate work in psychology at Bucknell University, under the direction of Dr. William Leftwich, then chairman of the department of psychology. The poll showed that 92.9 per cent of the 155 surveyed had never used LSD, mescaline or amphetamines and that 78.7 per cent had never used marijuana or hashish. Fewer than per cent of those polled said they were frequent users of LSD, mescaline or amphetamines. Almost three-quarters of the students who admitted to using the drugs said they used them " rare ly." The survey also showed that only about 3 per cent of the students polled are frequent users of marijuana or hashish. Patterson and Griffith noted that drug users might have been afraid of exposure and the resulting consequences and therefore may not have answered the questions truthfully. The 155 who were interviewed were selected by an IBM computer and only oncampus students were surveyed. The poll inc luded 102 men and 53 women which represent 15 per cent of the total enrollment of approximately 1,900 students. The sample was comprised of 34 per cent freshmen , 27 per cent sophomores, 23 per cent juniors and 16 per cent seniors. the same proportion included in the total enrollment. The questionnaire , which included 26 questions on politics, religion, sex, drugs, campus demonstrations and personal data, listed multiple answers in the majority of questions in order to force students to commit themselves. The survey also showed that 50 .9 per cent generally favored peaceful campus demonstrations while 1.2 per cent were in favor of violent or destructive demonstra tions. Patterson and Griffith stated that answers to political questions indicate "the majority of resident students classify themselves as moderates, favored Nixon in the last election, and support Vietnamization of the Vietnam war. However, they are almost evenly divided concerning how well Nixon is doing his job and on the issue of Cambodia . No major
differe nces were noted betwee n the sexes on politica l issues. Whi le the responses usually showed no significant difference among the classes, the po ll showed that the longer a student stays in college, the less frequently he attends church or synagog ue. The pollsters stated that a check was made to be certain that the samp le reflected the views of the total enro llment and although the registrar was unable to supp ly figures, "he gave us an estimate on religious preferences and on majors. The estimate he gave us proved to be very close to the sample results." In an effort to obtain truthful answers, those interviewed were given questionnaires and asked to place them in a ballot box unsigned. Reprinted from the Richmond Times Dispatch

Virginians toVoteon New Constitution n November 3, the people of Virginia will be asked to vote on constitutional amendments which will revise the Constitution of Virginia. These amendments have been approved by two sessions of the General Assembly and go to the people with bipartisan support, including that of Governor Linwood Holton and former Governor Mills E. Godwin, Jr. Why has it been thought necessary to revise the Virginia Constitution? Thomas Jefferson said it perhaps as well as anyone when he once wrote that "laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind" and that therefore each generation of Virginians should revise the Constitution so that it might continue to be a viable base for self-government in Virginia. True to Mr. Jefferson's precept, we have revised the Constitution about once every thirty years-something like once a generation. But it has been 42 years since the last general revision of 1928. Looking back over the change which those 42 years have wrought in Virginia-a doubling in our population, the advent of industry and urbanization, the rise of new and complex problems undreamed of in 1928-the Governor and the General Assembly have recognized the need to update Virginia's fundamental law. The revision builds on the existing document. While leaving much unchanged-nothing, for example, has been removed from the Bill of Rights-changes have been made where the Constitution fails to respond to contemporary needs. At all levels, the revised Constitution brings government closer to the people. Local people are given a greater say in local government by, for example, a new provision which for the first time requires the consent of local people in referendum before a regional government can be created. The powers of judges to fill vacancies in non-judicial offices is limited, again for the first time. It is made easier

A. E. Dick Howard, '54, was appointed by then Governor, Mills E. Godwin to head a committee to revise the Virginia Constitution. Mr. Howard, a Rhodes Scholar and former Associate Dean of University of Virginia Law School, is presently appearing throughout the state encouraging Virginia voters to approve the constitutional rev1s1ons on November 3. His comments should be of interest to a 11those interested in good government and particularly those who are concerned about how the revision would effect higher education.
for the people of a county to have a county government tailored to the needs and wishes of that county. Virginia's quest for high quality education is bolstered by the recognition, in the Bill of Rights, of the intimate relation between free government and an educated citizenry and by the implementation, in the education article itself, of the means whereby that worthy goal can be achieved. Private colleges and universities are not neglected in the revised Constitution. In recognition of the vital role which private education places in Virginia's system of higher education, a new section in the Constitution makes it possible for the General Assembly to make loans (such as to prospective school teachers) to students attending nonprofit institutions of higher education ( other than those primarily dedicated to religious training or theological education) . The State will also be empowered to assist private colleges in borrowing money for capital construction; no state money or credit is involved in this proposal. The capital needs of Virginia's public institutions-such as mental hospitals and community colleges-will be better met by an enlargement, within defined limits, of the capacity of the Commonwealth, on vote of the people, to issue general obligation bonds for capital purposes. Clear ceilings, tied to revenue from income and retail sales taxes, are prescribed on the amount which could be borrowed. Government closer to the people, and government more responsive to the needs of people-these are the twin themes which characterize the revised Virginia Constitution. From the venerable Bill of Rights to the new conservation article, this is a Constitution which draws deeply on the constitutional heritage bequeathed to us by our forebears while adding to that heritage the insights of this generation of Virginians.
