OUR COVER: One may tend to think of mathematics as a rigid

discipline, changeless as the laws which control the traffic of the stars.

"The shortest distance between two points is a straight line," for instance,

is immutable enough. However, where one used to traverse the distance

between two such points by horse and buggy, he now does it by car or jet.

The law is the same, but the methods used to illustrate it have been revolutionized.

So it is with what used to be that stodgy old subject—mathematics. The problems may be the same, but the modern means of solving them

baffle many of today's adult sophisticates (particularly if they are parents

of teenagers). Read "Math for the Moon Age," by Prof. William Ewbank,

beginning on page 10.

TAYLOR UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE Issued quarterly by Taylor University. Second Class postage paid at Upland, Indiana. P14 by BRIAN HEATH,

Chairman of the Student Court. The author, a junior from u Oak Creek,

Wisconsin, is majoring in Biology.

While a dangerous and anti-

intellectual movement is vocal on some campuses—a militancy which demands freedom to destroy freedom—a Taylor student counters with a challenge to responsibility.

C. Closed either, but when he stepped on the Sundays. He also set new records for most home runs and most runs batted in. But before young Odle turned in jersey No. 1 for good, Providence had assured something of special destiny for the diminutive dynamo. Two influences, he claims, changed the course and quality of his life; during his freshman year at Taylor he made a lasting religious commitment, and he was attracted to a very stabilizing influence named Bonnie Weaver, whom he married in 1944. From then on, Don Odle was to blaze a trajectory through life.

First, he coached the Frankton and Aurora high school teams from 1942 to 1947, establishing himself as a "barn-burning" mentor whose teams were usually described as fast, faster, or fastest.

In the fall of 1947 the campus was buzzing with the word that Odle had come home to coach the Taylor Trojans. He brought with him two former high school stars, Mai Cofield and Howie Stowe; and a new era was born. Odle was now a full-fledged college basketball coach. But a few years later another influence was about to make an en- trance into Odle's life, causing him to take his talents and concerns way beyond Hoosier boundaries.

When the phone shatters the early morning hours, one assumes that something out of the ordinary is involved. At 5 a.m. on the morning of February 3, 1952, Odle received a call from Formosa from a missionary, inviting him, on behalf of Madame Chiang Kai-shek, to bring his team to the Orient for the summer. In addition to playing 79 basketball games, they would con- duct perhaps a hundred religious meetings in churches, orphanages, and hospitals, plus holding services during half-time of each game.

To undertake such a task de- manded a man as rugged as any from TV commercial country. It meant traveling about 35,000 miles in all kinds of conveyances: old tri- stable — hot and humid (the weight- reducing kind). The project was called Venture for Victory. After the first experience there was a second, a third, a fourth ... a fifteenth. From the second year on, basketball stars, with Christian backgrounds, including some Ail-Americans from throughout the United States, were selected from major universities and smaller colleges. Odle returned home a different man, with deep appreciation for the Nationalist Chinese, headed by Chiang Kai-shek, whom he visited many times. He had also gained a compassion for the millions in the Orient eking out a marginal exis- tence and with little hope for anything better.

Because ot his unique influence in building the U. S. image abroad, Odle was named "Young Man of the Year" in Indiana in 1954 by the Indiana Junior Chamber of Commerce. Three years later he and W were cited in Congress, were awarded a medal by the Freedoms Foundation of America, and ac- claimed in Look magazine as well.
