John Westendorf, 78, although not an alumnus of UD, was as vitally interested in the ath­ letic program and development plans here on the Hilltop as any graduate. His continuing philanthropy on behalf of athletics in particular, and the University in general, was not generally known on the campus. Mr. Westendorf was president of the Premier Rubber Company and secretary-treasurer of the Dayton Casting Company. A member of Emmanuel parish, he was known as an active Catholic lay leader. He supported the activities of St. Joseph's orphanage and in 1949 was officer of the day for the 100th annual orphanage picnic. He was a director of the Third National Bank, the Home Savings and Loan Association and the Dayton Automobile club. From its establishment in 1934 to 1939 he was vice-chairman of the Dayton Metropolitan Housing Authority. He was a past president of the Dayton Bicycle Club. With two of his brothers he had organized the Casting Company in 1909, continuing it until his death. With one of his brothers he bought the Premier Rubber Co. in 1922, likewise continuing with it until now. His support of and generous benefactions toward the athletic program were greatly appreciated.

At any one time, the University has a good many rehearsals of various types going on simultaneously. Recently a photographer caught many of these. They seem to tell their own story in terms of variety and technique.

Photos by Don Nelson, Dayton Daily News.

Are we the fastest growing In the • Are we the nation's fastest growing university? Bro. Joseph ]. Mervar, S. M., the regis­ country? trar seems to think so. After comparing our enrollments with the national average it seems entirely possible. The national survey by Dr. Raymond Walters of Cincinnati showed an in­ crease of 6.8 per cent in full-time students. UD, however, showed a 17.1 per cent increase. His report also showed an average increase of 9.7 per ce nt in part time students to UD's 25; and an over-all increase of 7.6 per cent compared with UD's 20 per cent. Students win New York trips • Two students recently won trips to New York to attend professional meetings. William ]. Sander attended the National Association of Manufacturers convention as a representa­ tive of Ohio with all expenses paid; and Donald Hammond was the first winner of the new Dayton Retail Merchants Association prize of attending the National Retail Dry Goods Association convention with all expenses paid by the local. New firms ioln retailing program • Four new firms have joined the co-operative retailing program. Walker's; Barrar, Mc­ Cray and Trick; and Thai's, all of Dayton; and Thirkield's of Franklin are the new additions to the training program. Christmas music well received • The Christmas-time programs of the music department were very well received this year. "Amah! and the Night Visitors" was well done and earned critical acclaim. This year's presentation of the Messiah gained a larger audience than ever before. Lay Board members receive honors • Two members of the Lay Board have received new honors. S. C. Allyn, president of the NCR was named president of the Miami Valley Conservancy District succeeding Col. Deeds; and David Rike was named winner of the Tobe Award as the nation's "retailer of the year." Father Nuebert Marianist award • Very Rev. Emil Nuebert, S.M., former rector of the Marianist International Seminary winner in Fribourg was named winner of the 195 4 Marianist award. A former UD faculty mem­ ber Fr. Nuebert is the first member of the Society to win the award. The citation coin­ mended him "For his excellent contributions to the study of Mariology and his many long years of devoted service to forming hundreds of Marianists in their consecrated lives as apostles of Mary." Major in Journalism added • A major in journalism has been added to the curriculum beginning with the second semester this year, according to an announcement by Fr. Seebold. The new program will be a two-year affair in the junior and senior year, designed to give a thorough professional level training in journalism and related fields. It will be based more on the teaching of "mass communication" techniques rather than exclusively new reporting. The needs of those writing and editing industrial publications, trade and professional journals and other media such as radio and television will be taken in consideration. George H . Weldon, new addition to the faculty last fall, will take the entire responsibility for the program. He has had considerable experience in the field of journalism. Father O'Reilly presents gift to • Very Rev. Bernard P. O'Reilly has given two valuable art pieces to the library so that library more people may enjoy them. A porcelain painting of the Sistine Madonna, done in the late 1700's, now hangs in the main room. A Russian Icon, shrouded in silver, dating from the same time was also part of the gift. Television courses added in speech • George Biersack, '52, who is a member of the faculty in the speech department and is executive director of the Dayton Educational Television Foundation, has added two courses in the field of television to the speech department. It is expected that other courses may be added later to make a minor in television within the speech department. Marian Year celebration • The University's celebration of the Marian Year touched every phase of its life, accord­ wide-spread ing to the report of Rev. Edwin Leimkuhler, S.M., chaplain. One of the least noticed, yet most constant features of the celebration was the relay of students, each spending 15 minutes at noon-time reciting the Rosary in the chapel. This service went on every day that the University was in session during the year. Land purchase bill submiHed • A bill has been introduced into the Ohio legislature to allow the University to purchase 19 acres of land on Irving Avenue, now owned by the State. The land in two parcels, is now part of the State Hospital. The University has an option on the land between the two parcels. If purchased the land would be used for eventual expansion. Zehler Hall enters new life • Zehler Hall, which has served as a faculty residence since 1936, is now entering the fourth phase of its life. A completely new fluorescent lighting system, replastering and repainting have modernized the building, which will now be used as faculty offices. Kathleen Danzer joins staH • Kathleen Danzer has joined the staff as assistant to the dean of women. She will do personal and health counseling and be in charge of women's off-campus housing. A regis­ tered nurse, she had been personnel director of Stanley Greetings, Inc.
