Dr. Paul M. Lepley, the new Director of the Division of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, comes to Springfield with a rich background in his chosen profes­ sion. A University of Michigan graduate (1955), Dr. Lepley received his M. Ed in 1961 from Penn State, and Ed. 0 from Temple Univer~ity in 1968.

SEPTEMBER,1972 3 Lure of Sp·orts Viewed as a Trap for Black Youth

I n late April the Sunday edition of the New York Times carried a most in­ teresting near full page article devoted to Dr. Roscoe C. Brown, Jr. '43. Dr. Brown, a three sport athlete at Springfield as a student, is Director of New York University's Institute of Afro-American Affairs. As an Army Air Force captain in World War II, he commanded the 100th Fighter Squadron.H is medals included the Distinguished Flying Cross. Dr. Brown's research as a professor of education has dealt with the psycho­ logy of sport, and he has coached Pop Warner league football players (includ­ ing his twin sons) on Long Island for six years. lie is also advisory chairman of Sports Foundation, Inc., an organization formed to motivate youth in Harlem; has written three books on physical activity, and is co-host of "Black Arts," a weekly television program on black literature. The Times article, headlined "Lure of Sports Viewed as a Trap for Black r ouths," was written by Steve Cady, of the newspapers sports staff. Following is a reprint of the article written by Mr. Cady.

SEPTEMBER, 1972 HTHE PARENTS' CORNER"

The Parents' Corner was initiated last year by the Executive Committee of the Parents' Association on a trial basis for parents of all students. Co-Presidents of the Parents' Association, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Gilson, kept you informed about activities oJ the college and special projects of the Association. Another innovation was the two-part questionnaire sent to all parents in January to allow them to express their feelings, both positive and negative, concerning their student's exper­ ience at the College. For following through with these new ideas and providing excellent leadership during the year, the new officers and the committee members wish to thank Mr. and Mrs. Howard Gilson and Mr. and Mrs. Vinton Gregory, Secretary-Treasurer. The Parents' Association is directed by a committee of twelve couples or parents representing twelve stu­ dents. Committee meetings are held three times during the year, in addition to the annual Association meeting held in October as part of Parents' Weekend. Mr. and Around the Campus Mrs. Robert Pollard of Longmeadow, Massachusetts will serve you as Co-Presidents for the 1972-73 school year; Mr. and Mrs. Russell Fletcher of Berlin, Connec­ ticut as Secretary-Treasurer. Be sure to set aside the weekend of October 20th- 22nd. This will be our weekend! We have be~n greatly impressed by the plans the two student co-chairmen have made for us. They range from a soccer game on Friday night, a football game on, Saturday, the evet popular banquet Saturday night, to the folk service . on Sunday. The Parents' Association will hold its an­ nual meeting, immediately following the 'football game, in Moses Hall. We certainly hope that you will plan to attend. The Achievement Award Committee of the Association announced at our May meeting the. names of the three students who will receive an award at the Fall Parents' Weekend Banquet for their outstanding individual con­ tributions to the improvement or maintenance of the quality of co-curricular life on campus. They are Hilary Lawrence, Laurie Monroe, and Vinnie Klimas, all mem­ bers of the Class of 1973. We welcome suggestions and comments concerning the Parents' Association, as well as this column. Please let us hear from you. Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. Pollard Co-Presidents, Parents' Association 1972-73

ATHLETIC FIELD GETS LlGHTS:-The College Board of Trustees has approved additional lighting for the new synthetic athletic field. The new system includes five wood poles, two on the pressbox side of the field and three on the opposite side. Each pole is 65 feet in height and has six 1500 watt multi-vapor power spot fixtures. Athletic director, Dr. Edward S. Steitz, stated that the new lighting "now opens the facility for use during all hours of the day." . Dr. Steitz also felt that the College would definitely explore the possibilities of evening contests in such sports as lacrosse and soccer. He felt that evening contests would make it more advantageous for the attendance of the student body.

Lost Dignity

A century ago the college student was looked up to; 50 The Depression Years years later he was admired; 25 years ago he was respected; today he is tolerated. College students today' are no longer the "thinking minority". With the democratization of education, we find everyone going to college and when everyone goes to an "education factory", the law of average insures that there will be a high quota . of undesirables. Too many children are using the American college as a most convenient and very satisfactory means of prolonging child­ hood. Instead of accepting new responsibilities upon entering, we find them postponing the assumption of burdens. Rather than helping to broaden their view, college now narrows it; their minds and experiences are concentrated upon the little cage in which they dash furiously but futilely round and round. It would not be so bad if these Peter Pans did not destroy the morale of the select group which since the year one has questioned and probed the realms of nature, philosophy, politics, literature, history and the sciences. Perhaps the college is making a mistake in letting down the bars and in swinging wide the campus gate, allowing a force to enter within which will gradually eat away and tear down its standards. Undoubtedly, there are two sides to the question, . but there are many who are questioning democracy hi educa­ tion. At all events, the college has descended or revolved, as you prefer, from the patrician to the plebeian. The College at Springfield 1930

Alumni News Reunion Weekend, 1972 Perhaps it was the beautiful weather - but then again it might well have been the excellent planning on the part of class reunion chairmen-but whatever the reason, Bennion \\' eekend, 1972 at Springfield College was one of the most memorable in many years on this campus. Attendance far exceeded expectations. The fellowship from late Thursday when alumni started to arrive until Monday morning when the last alu.mnus left Gulick Hall to head back for home, was warm and sincere. All in all, it was a great weekend. F or this reason, we are devoting the entire Alumni :'\ otes Section of this issue of the Bulletin to a review, in prose and photographs of this wonderful June weekend. Tarbell Medallions were awarded to Earl Taraldsen '22, Dr. Ed Blesh '30, Joe Shields '34, and Al \Verner '40 by Tarbell Medallion Committee chairman, lrv Conrad '62 in a most impressive Alumni Luncheon ceremony. In fact, it may well be that Irv Conrad has earned a· permanent job. All in attendance agreed that Conrad, in presenting the awards, gave the entire ceremony the dignity and deep meaning it deserved. Al­ umni who have been a part of the Tarbell Medallion ceremonies at Alumni Luncheons for many years were vocal in their praise of Conrad's presentation and the stirring responses by the recipients. Another highlight of the Alumni Luncheon was the work of Dr. Kenneth Robbins '52, Master of Cere­ monies. Ken Robbins kept the program moving at a lively pace and supplied just the right amount of humor to ensure a program of wit and wisdom. \Vith over 350 in attendance at the Alumni Luncheon, Robbins' work as Toastmaster was most important. Many men, and quite a few women, were seen to jot down some of the NIaine stories that Ken Robbins distributed vocally to the audience. President \Vilbert E. Locklin, in his annual report, brought alumni. in attendance up to date on c)evelop­ ments over the past year on the Springfield campus. It was a most encouraging story and alumni expressed appreciation at the conclusion of the report. It's interesting to note that the two top golf prizes were won by members of the Class of 1937. Former outstanding athlete as a student, \Varren Huston, cap­ tured the low gross golf prize with a score of 76, while Archie Allen captured low net with a score he

Some 20 former Tarbell Medallion recipients, and their wives, were in attendance at the Luncheon to see the 1972 award winners honored. The longest former Tarbell traveler was Walter Bell '15, who made the trip from Hemet, California with his attractive daughter, Gin, to be on campus. Walter Bell was not the longest traveler to attend Reunion Weekend this year. That honor went to Tony Yuasa '32 of Tokyo, Japan. This was Tony's first return to the campus since he graduated. Other long travelers were Pedro Ablan '22 from Manila, Philippines, and Mark Nestle '27 also from the Philippine Islands. Pedro brought with him as guest his handsome son and a most beautiful relative from the Philippines who started smiling the moment she arrived on campus and never stopped smiling until after she left. Amongst the older alumni present were Henry Colton '10, Dr. Sam Pond '12, Guy Wellington '14, Dr. Sal­ vatore Sannella '14, Chan Mann '16, and six men and their wives from the Class of 1917. \Vhile attendance was strong for all classes except A Tribute to the Class of 1927 Springfield's war-time 1947 class, perhaps the best at­ tendance on a ratio basis was scored by the Class of The Class of 1927 is one of those groups which 1922.

The highlight of the Reunion Dinner on Friday, June 2nd at Willow Glen was the special recognition and hon­ or given to Mrs. Lucile McCabe and class member Floyd Field, who happens. to be blind. Field was given accolades for having successfully completed the "Floyd Field Challenge." The NlcCabe scholarship, named in honor of a departed classmate, is now up to $15,000 in cash with $7,000 in deferred payments, making a grand total to date of $22,000 in cash and pledges. Income from this Fund is used to present ,scholarships to the two top girls and the two top boys academically in the junior class each year. Known as the Britton C. McCabe Academic Achieve­ ment Award, it is one of the most sought after honors on campus. Some time ago Floyd Field issued a challenge to his classmates. He would contribute $1,000 towards the Amici Ad Infinitum program provided nine other class­ mates met this challenge. Thirteen members of the class of 1927 met Floyd Field's challenge, thus $14,000 is now in this fund as gifts from the Class of 1927. In addition, the 'class assesses each member $5 per year as class dues. This special fund now has over $1300, a fund which· will grow annually until the class meets again for its 50th Reunion. The class voted at its 45th Reunion that income from this fund shall' be used to buy periodicals for the Babson Library. Class officers elected for the next five years were Paul E. Johnson; president; Dr. George Taylor, first vice­ president and Alumni Fund chairman; George Ritchie, second vice-president; Charles Parkhurst, secretary; and UThank You" from Joe Shields '34 Floyd Field, class historian.

Dr. Steitz, now director or athletics at Springfield College, is president of the Basketball Federation of America. He's not a stranger to India. Back in 1965, Dr. Steitz with his Springfield College team, was here at NIS when basketball in India was in its embryo. After he finished his coaching assign­ ment in India that year, the Indian players felt bereaved when he re­ turned to the United States.
