Henry, who retired January 1 after 35 years as Explorer A.D. Conboy, 45, graduated from La Salle in 1950. He recently retired from the U.S. Army, after 20 years service, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. A veteran of three wars (World War II, Korea and Vietnam), Conboy served on the ROTC staff at La Salle from 1960 to 1964. Conboy was a member of St. Joseph's Prep's last city championship football team in 1939. After three years of World War II service in Europe, Conboy enrolled at Georgetown where he played football for two years before transferring to La Salle. He was assistant football coach at St. Joseph's Prep from 1948 to 1950. He also coached Army football and basketball teams in Europe and Hawaii and organized a triathlon team at La Salle which produced three present members of the U.S. Army modern pentathlon team—Don Walheim, Bill Conroy and Gary McNulty. Conboy, who holds an MBA degree in Industrial Management from Temple University, resides in Drexel Hill with his wife, Anne, and four children. PAUL W. WESTHEAD Head Basketball Coach Paul W. Westhead, successful assistant coach at St. Joseph's Col- lege the past two years, makes his debut as head basketball coach at La Salle College during the 1970-71 season. Westhead, 31, led the St. Joseph's freshman team to a 21-2 record- best in the school's history— in 1969-70 and finished in a tie with Pennsylvania for the mythical Little Big Five title. He had also served as assistant athletic director under Jack McKinney since 1968. Previously, Westhead had established himself as one of the finest young coaches in the area at Cheltenham High School. In four years (1964-68) at the suburban Philadelphia school, Paul gradually built a winning tradition. In 1968, he took his squad to the P.I.A.A. playoffs for the first time in the school's history and advanced all the way to the state finals. Westhead received his bachelor's degree from St. Joseph's in 1961, and a master's degree in English from Villanova, in 1963. He has done work towards his Ph.D. at Temple University and has served on the English faculty both at Cheltenham and St. Joseph's. Following completion of his studies at Villanova, Westhead went to the University of Dayton for a year as assistant coach and English instructor. Westhead, his wife, Catherine, and three children live in suburban Drexel Hill, Pa. JOSEPH C. O'CONNOR Assistant Basketball Coach Joseph C. O'Connor, who coached Bishop Eustace Prep's basketball teams to a fantastic 69-6 record over his last three seasons, makes his debut as Paul Westhead's as- sistant in 1970-71. In addition to helping Westhead with the varsity, the 29-year-old coach will handle the Explorer freshman team. O'Connor had been on the staff at suburban New Jersey's Bishop Eustace for seven years, the last four as head coach. In 1968-69, Eustace went all the way to win the New Jersey State Championship. Joe's overall won-loss record as head coach was 78-17. O'Connor, a resident of Upper Darby, is a 1963 graduate of St. Joseph's College with a bachelor's degree in history. PAUL GALLAGHER Assistant Basketball Coach Paul Gallagher, a former member of the Explorer varsity and later head coach at Monsignor Bonner High School, makes his debut as a La Salle assistant under Paul Westhead in 1970-71. The 1964 La Salle graduate was a re- serve on the Explorer varsity for two years. He served as assistant coach at Bonner before becoming head coach at St. James High, in Chester in 1966-67. Gallagher returned to Bonner as head coach the following year. His three year won-loss record of 57-19 included a fine 24-6 mark in 1969-70. The Bonner quintet finished first in the Catholic League's southern division and third in the playoffs last year, capping the season by winning the Alhambra Catholic Invitational, in Cumberland, Md. Gallagher, 27, was co-captain of Bonner's city championship court team in 1960. Paul will continue to maintain a securities business with the Equity Funding Corp. He, his wife, Sue, and their two children live in sub- urban Havertown, Pa. *V^r Dr. Eugene Gallagher Charles M. Loughran Team Physician Equipment Manager DAVID A. (LEFTY) ERVIN Assistant Basketball Coach David A. (Lefty) Ervin is in his third season as assistant basketball coach. While a student here, Lefty was a two-sport standout and co-captain of La Salle's basketball and base- ball teams in his senior year. ^A ^^li^^-/ ,n 1968, he was honored with <\ -V ^^9 the Joseph Schmitz Jr. Award as A "£ the senior who best exemplified the x f\ high traditions of La Salle College in loyalty, sportsmanship and courage. A starter on the basketball varsity as a sophomore, Ervin spent most of the next two years as the Explorers' sixth man and gained a reputa- tion as one of the outstanding substitutes in the nation. He scored a total of 756 points for his career. Ervin played baseball and basketball at Abington High School before graduating in 1963. In addition to his duties at La Salle, Ervin also serves on the faculty at Archbishop Ryan High School. Dave and his wife, Karen, reside in nearby Roslyn, Pa.

DeAngelis, Associate Professor, Accounting Dr. Frank Schreiner, Director, Counseling Center J. Russell Cullen, Jr., Alumni Representative Daniel H. Kane, Alumni Representative Joseph P. Batory, Sports Information Director, Secretary THE ATHLETE The young man who accepts the exciting challenge of representing the Explorers on basketball courts throughout the nation will be one who recognizes that he is supplementing his classroom experience with athletic participation. He will learn to discipline himself toward achieving a goal; to work in close association with other men, and to acquire judgment and responsibility. As such a student athlete, he will be, above all, a gentleman. PROSPECTS FOR THE 1970-71 SEASON By Coach Paul Westhead As a first year coach at La Salle, it is somewhat difficult to evaluate the potential of our team. We do have experience and a solid leader in senior Ken Durrett, a Helms Ail-American the past two years, but we will be handicapped by a lack of size and depth. Our most serious loss from last year's team was the great shooting ability of graduated co- captain Fran Dunphy. Seven seniors do return to our varsity this year, including Durrett, Bob Fields, Ronny Kennedy, Bill Michuda, Greg Cannon, Bob Walsh and Jorge Garayta. Kenny Durrett, our leading scorer and rebounder in both his sophomore and junior years, seems destined to achieve one of the finest career records in La Salle history. In addition, Bobby Fields, who proved to be a fine shooter last year, should help us again this year. Ronny Ken- nedy, our second tallest player, will have to give us strong rebounding if we're to succeed. Bill Michuda and Greg Cannon, a potential playmaker, were occasional starters last year, and with greater opportunity to shoot, they must supply us some needed offensive punch. Bob Walsh, a hustler who saw sporadic action in the past, and Jorge Garayta could see more playing time this year. Joining these veterans will be sophomore prospects Jim Crawford, Tom Fuhs, Bill Fox and John Maull. Another possibility is junior Jeff Piccone, who was ineligible in the second semester of last year. My philosophy throughout my career has been to put great stress on defense, which I feel is the foundation of team morale. Offensively, we will look for the fast break, but generally we will play patterned basketball. Our schedule is rugged, but we hope to surprise some of our oppo- nents, many of whom are nationally ranked. 7 &&4$n JB&J u f 1 Jl MEET THE EXPLORERS (*) Returning Lettermen *Kenneth L. Durrett Senior 21 6-7 188 Pittsburgh, Pa. Captain Two years ago when sophomore Ken Durrett was tearing up Phila- delphia's famed Big Five, Bill Con- lin, the highly-respected basketball writer of the Philadelphia Daily ". News, called him, . . the most polished all-around big man ever to hit the Big Five." By today's standards, Durrett isn't really a "big man." The former scholastic Ail-American from Pitts- burgh's Schenley High (coach Willard Fisher) is a mere 6-7, 188 pounds. But to most of his opponents, Kenny's size is quite deceptive. Says one: "The way he moves around the basket, I'd swear he was seven feet tall." Former Explorer Ail-American and later all-pro with the old Phila- delphia Warriors and New York Knicks, Tom Gola, who coached at La Salle the past two years, says that Durrett has "definite" pro potential. "He has to go very high in next year's pro draft," says Gola. "He's quick, handles the ball well, has excellent scoring ability and . . . just has the potential to make it big." La Salle enjoyed its greatest season in history in 1968-69, finishing second nationally with a 23-1 record. Three members of that club, Larry Cannon, Roland Taylor, and Bernie Williams, are now playing professional basketball. None of them led the Explorers in scoring during their senior year because Durrett exceeded his fondest hopes by averaging 20 ppg. He also led the club in rebounding (11.8), field goal percentage (52.3%), field goals (191), free throws (98) and total points (480). Statistically, it was the greatest rookie season ever registered by an Explorer. This is quite an accomplishment when one considers the impressive list of former La Salle stars including Gola, Larry Foust, Hubie Marshall, Williams and Cannon among others. Last season as a junior, Durrett scored 24.3 ppg., good enough to rank him among the top scorers in the nation, and the second best scoring average in La Salle history. He also led the team in rebounding (12.1 rpg.). Only Gola (750 and 690) and Marshall (674) have ever scored more points in a single season than Durrett's 632 last year. And they all played in more games than Kenny's 26 as the Explorers finished with a 14-12 record which included the ECAC Quaker City Tourney title. Durrett's 44-point performance against Lafayette was a new La Salle single-game mark. So was his 20-field goal total he registered that night. Kenny scored his 1000th career point against American University in his 46th varsity game, earlier than any previous Explorer. For his efforts, Kenny was named to the Helms Ail-American team for the second year in a row. He was also named most valuable player in the Middle Atlantic Conference's eastern division and the outstand- ing player of the Philadelphia district. In addition, Ken was a unanimous All Big Five selection. General business major.

Greg is a scrambling guard, known best for his aggressive defensive play. In the past two years, Greg twice shadowed Niagara's Ail-American Calvin Murphy into sub-par performances which led to La Salle victories. An occasional starter last year, Greg scored 93 points, and passed off for 81 assists, second highest on the team; he also hit for a career high of 11 points vs. Albright. Greg captained the Lincoln high squad of 1966-67 (coach Harry Silcox) and made All-Public. English major.

Jim is a fine sophomore prospect who came to La Salle from Bishop Eustace Prep's 1969 undefeated New Jersey State basketball champions. His coach at Eu- stace was Joe O'Connor, who is now an assistant at La Salle. An all-around athlete at Eustace, Jim lettered in baseball, set two school records in track, and was named to the 1969 All-South Jersey basket- ball team. As a La Salle freshman, Jim grabbed 170 rebounds to lead the team; he also shot 54.9% from the field while scoring 270 points (15.8 ppg.). Jim's dad was a varsity basketballer at La Salle. Business major. 10 * Robert L. Fields Senior 21 6-3 175 Chicago, III. Bob transferred to La Salle 2 years ago from Brandywine (Del.) Junior College, where he captained coach Harry Pappas' state championship team. Last year, Bob really broke into the limelight, scoring 411 points (16.4 ppg.), to join a select group of Explorers who have topped 400. pts. in a single season. Bob had some explosive performances, particularly against Niagara (33 pts.), American (31), and Creighton (27). His defensive job on Columbia's All-Ameri- can Jim McMillan had much to do with the Explorers' capture of the 1969 Quaker City Tourney Championship. Bob played for coach Bob Singerland at St. Mel's H.S. in Chicago. Marketing major. Year Games Field Goals Foul Goals Reb'ds Points PPG. 1969-70 25 170 71 172 411 16.4 William D. Fox Sophomore 19 6-2 162 Philadelphia, Pa. Bill possesses tremendous desire, and he has developed consistently and rapidly. Having exhibited some fine all-around play for last year's frosh, Bill should provide depth to the varsity backcourt. He played at La Salle High (coach Charles Obie O'Brien) before graduating in 1969. Business ad- ministration major. Thomas J. Fuhs Sophomore 19 5-11 180 Drexel Hill, Pa. A steady, hustling guard, Tom led last year's freshman team in scoring (16.2), and also passed off for 33 assists, team high. At Monsignor Bonner H.S. in 1969, Tom had the distinction of captaining both the baseball and the basketball teams. Named as an All-Catholic baseball player, he was also honored as the Catholic League's "unsung basketball hero" by the Markward Club. Tom's high school basket- ball coach was Paul Gallagher, who is now an assistant coach at La Salle. Accounting major Jorge A. Garayta Senior 21 6-5 190 Bethesda, Ml A native of Cuba, Jorge came to the United States when he was nine years old and has since resided in Bethesda, Md. A determined hustler, Jorge was added to last year's varsity midway through the season as a frontcourt reserve. He lettered in both track and basketball (coach Joe Gallagher) at St. John's High in Washington, D.C., before graduating in 1967.

Business administration major. 12 •William A. Michuda Senior 22 6-2 183 Milwaukee, Wis. A good shooter and ballhandler, Bill played varsity ball as a freshman at St. Norbert's (Wis.) College before transferring to La Salle in September, 1967. Last year as a key Explorer reserve, he came off the bench for a 9-point, 9-rebound performance against St. Joseph's, and a 9-point effort against Duquesne. He also teamed with Greg Cannon to contain Niagara's Calvin Murphy. Bill captained the Marquette (Wis.) High varsity five in 1966 (coach John Gla- ser) and made All-Conference that year.

He can play either up front or in the backcourt and his versa- tility could enable him to see more action this year. In '67-68, Bob started for the Explorer Frosh and finished as the team's fourth leading scorer (12.1 ppg.). That year he also was the best foul shooter on the team.

Steve Roth, who averaged 11.9 ppg. in the first half of last year, could also add some scoring thrust. Big problem, however, is a lack of height. 6-9 Jay Dotti (12.2 ppg. -9. 6 rpg.) will be joined by 6-2 forward Todd Danner (5.0 ppg.) and transfer students, 6-2 Dennis White and 6-3 Chuck Delutis in the frontcourt.

O'Brien, 6-1 senior and team captain, led the BC scores last year (16.5 ppg.), averaged ten assists per game, and was named to the All-East team. Joining O'Brien in the backcourt will be either: 6-1 transfer Rick Bolus, 6-2 senior Mike Dunn, or soph Bob Smith. The frontcourt is led by 6-7 senior Frank Fitzgerald (14.3 ppg.) and 6-5 senior Vin Costello (11.3 ppg.). 6-5 senior Greg Sees and 6-7 junior Pete Schmid provide quality depth. Coach Chuck Daly excellent prospects, Dave Freitag Two soph (W-11, L-13) and Tom Anstett, both 6-7, will add consider- ably on the boards. A much improved quintet with good depth.

Juniors Gary Doyle (7.6 ppg.) and Jim Pugh (6.8 ppg.) will have to battle two fine sophs, 6-1 Matt LiPuma (19.2 ppg.— frosh) and 6-3 Al Wolfson (19.8 ppg. — frosh) for the guard positions. De- fense and rebounding will be the strong points of this club. If outside shooting develops, team improvement could be great. Coach Paul Lynner (W-123, L-88) Location: Hempstead, N.Y.

LOYOLA UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTH Wednesday, February 3, 1971, 7:00 P.M. (EST), at the Palestra, Philadelphia, Pa. SERIES RECORD: LA SALLE 6, LOYOLA 1 OUTLOOK: Returning top scorers, 6-3 Bob Bis- sant (22.8 ppg.) and 7-0 center Ty Marioneaux (22.6 ppg. -13.0 rpg.), give the Wolfpack some reason for optimism. 6-5 Step Johnson and 6-7 Charley Jones also started last year. Soph prospects are 6-6 Ernie Losch who has a shot at a forward berth, 6-2 Jim Comiskey and 6-3 John Kardzionak. Should definitely improve over last year.

SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY Saturday, February 6, 1971, 2:00 P.M. (EST), at Manley Field House, Syracuse, N.Y. SERIES RECORD: LA SALLE 14, SYRACUSE 6 OUTLOOK: Last year's Orange five could put the ball through the hoop, but a leaky defense al- lowed 85.8 pts. per game, most ever by a Syracuse team. Key to success may lie in how well SU overcomes the stumbling block of DEFENSE. Graduation has taken top scorer Ernie Austin, but coach Danforth has 6-7 senior Bob McDaniel (410 pts., 236 rbs.) and 6-11 Bill Smith (384 pts., 235 rbs.) heading his re- turnees. 5-11 Tom Green is the only experi- enced guard, but 6-1 Greg Kohls and 6-2 soph Mark Wadach should help. 6-3 soph Mike Lee could give Orange a solid corner man while Coach Roy Danforth Finney brothers, senior Bill and soph Bob, (W-21, L-28) possess great firepower.

The addition of sophomores 6-3 Aaron Covington (18.4 ppg.—frosh), 6-4 Mike Macaluso (16.3 ppg.—frosh), and 6-7 Gary Lawrence (15.9 ppg. —frosh) will increase over- all scoring potential.

Backing up these three, will be 6-4 junior Joe McDowell and 6-8 soph Gary Jentz. In the backcourt 6-5 junior Chris Ford (16.0 ppg.) returns, but could be shifted to frontcourt if game conditions warrant. 6-3 Tom Inglesby and 6-2 Ed Hastings are top sophomore back- court prospects. Cats have other guard possi- \ Coach Jack Kraft bilities in 6-3 co-captain John Fox, and juniors (W-184, L-67) Bob Gohl and Mike Daly, all of whom saw lim- ited action last year. Fine mixture of veterans and newcomers— if the latter develop quickly, Cats will roar.

Junior Cyril Baptiste, a 6-10, 225-lb. center (18.9 ppg. -11. 7 rpg.), is a genuine Ail- American possibility, and professional draftee, 6-9 Joe Bergman (10.5 ppg. -6. 9 rpg.) still has one semester of eligibility he plans to use. Senior guard Mike Caruso (13.7 ppg.) and 6-6 forward Dennis Bresnahan (12.8 ppg. -7. 9 rpg.), an academic All-American, are other strong returnees. John Taylor, a 6-1 guard, averaged 7.3 as a part-time regular. Other returnees include: 6-5 Pat Bresnahan, 6-5 Phil Bazelides, Coach Eddie Sutton 6-6 Paul Fesko, 6-3 Steve and Bergman.

ST. JOSEPH'S COLLEGE Saturday, February 27, 1971, 8:45 P.M. (EST), at the Palestra, Philadelphia, Pa. SERIES RECORD: LA SALLE 35, ST. JOSEPH'S 30 OUTLOOK: Hawks have eight returning letter- men and six key players from the winningest freshman team ever at St. Joe's. Senior letter- men John Connolly (6-6), Bruce Marks (6-7), leaping rebounder Eric Mitchell (6-6) and soph Bob Sabol (6-4) provide frontcourt depth. Connolly (9.0 ppg.-7.7 rpg.), Marks and Mitchell were occasional starters last year. Add to this group, talented 6-9 soph Mike Bantom who dominated the '69-70 frosh statistics (21.0 ppg.-16.0 rpg. —freshman), and 6-5 soph Pat McFarland (20.0 ppg.-8.1 rpg. —freshman). Jack Snyder, 6-2 senior (7.2 ppg.), heads Coach Jack McKinney the inexperienced backcourt personnel.

RIDER COLLEGE Monday, March 1, 1971, 8:00 P.M. (EST), at Alumni Gym, Trenton, N.J. SERIES RECORD: LA SALLE 14, RIDER 3 OUTLOOK: Six lettermen return from last year's 16-10 team which lost to Temple in the open- ing round of the MAC playoffs. Three starters return in the frontcourt: 6-4 Bill Katz (17.8); 6-3 Barry Spears (11.8), leading rebounder, and 6-6 Steve Jefferson (7.4). They could be chal- lenged by 6-7 soph Laney McLaughlin, 6-3 senior Glen Albano (5.3), and 6-2 soph Bill Clark. Loss of starting guards will hurt, but 5-9 transfer Bruce Rembert is rated a blue chip prospect. Also competing for a guard slot will be 5-10 senior Robin Francavilla (2.7), 6-1 junior Dave Shuart (5.6), and 6-2 soph Jim Coach John Carpenter Adams, leading scorer on team. freshman (W-47, L-51) Things should get better this year.

The up and down year was highlighted by the Explorers' second Quaker City Tournament title, capped in the final game by an upset 89-74 win over Columbia. Along the way the Explorers also knocked off high-powered Niagara, came close (55-47) to upsetting then nationally-ranked Tennessee in the final of the Volunteer Classic, and came close again to defeating NIT- bound Duquesne in Pittsburgh, 67-64. But La Salle suffered its worst Big Five season in history (0-4), losing to underdog Temple, 69-61, dropping a double overtime thriller to St. Joseph's, 101-99, and getting whipped soundly by champion Penn 76-67, and NCAA-bound Villanova, 96-85. And the Explorers also fell victim to a gruelling road schedule and a murderous January. They were 4-8 on the road, and 2-9 in January. Durrett, the 6-7 junior from Pittsburgh selected to the Helms Founda- tion All-America squad last season as a soph, again led the Explorers in scoring and rebounding and smashed several school and city records. Durrett scored 24.3 points a game—good enough to rank him among the top 30 scorers in the nation and the second best season scoring average in La Salle history. He also pulled down more than 12 rebounds a game and was the squad's only consistent rebounder. Ken's 44-point performance against Lafayette set a school record, tied a Big Five record; his 20 field goals that night topped school, Big Five and Palestra records. He scored his 1,000th career point against American University, his 46th varsity game, earlier than any previous Explorer. Among other post-season honors, he was named most valuable player in the Middle Atlantic Conference. Fran Dunphy, co-captain with Durrett and also a member of the MAC All-Star squad, blossomed into the scorer most observers knew he could be. Counting with 15 and 20-footers and gutsy lane drives, Dunphy fought his way to better than 18 points a game and passed off for a team-leading 113 assists. Against Columbia in the Quaker City final, he led La Salle's attack with 24 points, including eight for eight in one stretch, and was named tournament MVP. Fields, a junior playing his first season at La Salle, started slowly but roared ahead with aggressive defense, clutch rebounding and strong shooting from 10 to 15 feet and ended the season scoring 16.4 points and grabbing seven rebounds a game as a guard-forward. He came up with more than a score of key steals and, in the Columbia game, held Jim McMillian to only 15 points. Hit by academic ineligibilities at mid-season, Gola searched for two other starters and finally settled on Ronny Kennedy and Greg Cannon, both of whom turned in standout performances— Kennedy's 16 points and 10 rebounds vs. Villanova and Cannon's defensive job on Calvin Murphy, holding the Niagara superstar to 25 points. Sophs Bill Pleas and Jeff Piccone both contributed valuable strength and talent (Pleas, 21 points vs. West Chester, 19 rebounds vs. Eastern Kentucky; Piccone, 9 points vs. West Chester, 12 rebounds vs. Albright) until they were lost to the squad midway through the season because of academic problems. For La Salle, and for Tom Gola, it was the end of an era. In two years as head coach, Gola led his teams to 37 wins and 13 losses, and the best season in the school's long basketball history in 1968-69. With Tom as both player and coach for La Salle, Gola teams compiled a fantastic 144-32 record, won a national chammpionship, a national runner-up, an NIT, a Quaker City Tournament and one Number Two national ranking. Perhaps most important, in his two years at the helm, Gola helped recapture some of that 1954 glitter, and helped put La Salle back on the road to basketball stability. 33 1969-70 EXPLORER ATTENDANCE La Salle played before a total of 128,502 fans during the 1969-70 season for an average of 4,942. The Explorers attracted 66,812 in 14 home appearances for a 4,772 average and 61,690 in 12 road games for an average of 5,141. Largest crowds were 12,500 at Western Ken- tucky and 10,000 for the finals of the Volunteer Classic against Tennessee. 1969-70 EXPLORER HIGH MARKS INDIVIDUAL POINTS SCORED—44, Ken Durrett vs. Lafayette FIELD GOALS SCORED—20, Ken Durrett vs. Lafayette FREE THROWS SCORED— 10, Ken Durrett vs. St. Joseph's POINTS, ONE HALF—29, Ken Durrett vs. American University REBOUNDS—22, Ken Durrett vs. St. Joseph's TEAM POINTS SCORED— 108 vs. Syracuse FIELD GOALS SCORED—46 vs. American and Lafayette FREE THROWS SCORED—25 vs. St. Joseph's POINTS, ONE HALF—57 vs. Syracuse REBOUNDS—66 vs. St. Joseph's PERSONAL FOULS—30 vs. Penn INDIVIDUAL OPPONENT HIGHS POINTS SCORED— 35.

The 1968-69 season was the first time the Explorers showed up in the final wire service rankings top twenty since then, although they did appear in the poll for a few weeks during the 1959-60 season and again in 1964-65. La Salle has never finished first for the season in either poll, but did occupy the top rung for a lengthy period during the 1954-55 season. 54 -*v* $ m31 'JCl - , d DP* : 1 F ^flj^J» // - p1 ' T THE LA SALLE STORY La Salle College is now in its 108th year of service to higher educa- tion and the Philadelphia community. The college has been coeduca- tional in the evening division since February, 1967, and in its day school since September, 1970. La Salle was founded March 20, 1863 by the Brothers of the Christian Schools and derives its name from the founder of the Christian Brothers, St. John Baptist de La Salle. By 1929, having outgrown three previous Philadelphia locations, the campus was moved to its present site at 20th Street and Olney Avenue in the East Germantown Section of the city. Since 1945, La Salle has experienced dramatic growth. Before the closing days of the war, La Salle had an enrollment of less than 500 attending only day classes in two original buildings. Today, a total of 6,600 Day and Evening Division students attend La Salle. Plant facilities, valued at only $1.5 million in 1946, have today reached nearly $20 million. There are 24 buildings on the 40-acre campus and further expansion is well under way in the form of a new classroom building and an athletic facilities structure. Ten modern residence halls accommodate 800 out-of-town students. A $2 million, three-story College Union Building, completed in 1959, includes a Little Theater as well as dining halls, assembly rooms, ball- room and other student facilities. The $2.5 million Holroyd Science Center, opened in 1960, houses lecture rooms and laboratory facilities for study and research in Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Physics and Psychology. The David Leo Lawrence Memorial Library, built in 1952, contains 168,000 volumes and periodical files of some 700 journals, and a new library is being planned. Additional educational areas are located on a 52-acre campus in Elkins Park and on an 80-acre site in Springfield Township. The Army ROTC program, initiated in 1950, is available to freshmen, who may apply for ROTC scholarships for advance studies. Nearly 350 students, including those in advanced courses, are enrolled in the program. La Salle's Day and Evening Division offer degree programs in Arts and Sciences and Business Administration. The 350-member La Salle faculty is composed of Christian Brothers, priest and lay professors. Above: Brother Daniel Burke, F.S.C., Ph.D., President, La Salle College.
