Announcement of the "privileged distinction to our many fine women graduates" was made to University President Father Raymond A. Roesch by Blanche H. Dow, AAUW president in Washington. Dean of Women R. Kathleen Whetro was named by Father Roesch to serve as the University's liaison person with the Association. Dean Whetro notes that all the University's women graduates with the baccalaureate or higher degree are eligible for membership, including those who won their degrees prior to the University's being named to the select list. AA UW chapters are located in most major cities. The Dayton chapter, soon after U .D .'s acceptance was announced, sponsored a series of teas to introduce U.D. women into the organization. The AAUW "offers women college graduates an opportunity to associate and serve with college trained women in their community" for the purpose of furthering the advancement of women, developing a program to enable coll ege women to continue their intellectual growth, discharging the special responsibilities to society of those who have enjoyed the privi­ lege of higher education, and working for the improvement of education at all levels. Prior to the University's acceptance in November, alon g with Ashland Coll ege and Bowling Green State University, the AAUW had sixty-eight branches and a membership of more than 8,000 in Ohio alone. Now thirty-four Ohio colleges are AAUW members. Comments Dean Whetro: "Many of our women graduates will welcome the news that they are now eligible to JOin the local chapter of the American Association of University Women. Particularly is it of value to the woman who moves to a new area of the country where she is separated from relatives and friends. The opportunity to become acquainted with other women who are college graduates gives her an outlet for serving in the community as well as keeping mentally alert. AAUW chapters have various study programs to interest members along their own previous major and minor fields and to focus attention on community and world problems. Indirectly, local chapters help to provide the means for the national organization to promote fellowship programs with stipends ranging from $2,000 to $5,000 to aid women scholars in advancement of higher degrees. Since 1888 the AA UW has awarded more than J ,400 such fellowships. We are glad that women graduates of the University of Dayton have the opportunity to join AAUW chapters.''

As the night wore on the shooting and the shout­ ing increased in tempo_ When the Sunday sun broke over the horizon, however, both the swimming pool and the bridge were still intact, so I guess the good guys won. The biggest personal victory, though, came to the ROTC group's advisor, Captain Robert Ragains.

' ' One of the reasons Christian truth and ideals have lost so much of their influence in fashioning the character and quality of our present-day civilization is that, for cen­ turies now, we have had a divided Christian Church. A thousand years ago there was a split between the Christians of the East and those of the West. For a thousand years the Orthodox Catholics and the Roman Catholics have gone their separate ways. Here in lhf West we suffered the unfortunate religious division of the sixteenth century. Christianity as a result became fragmented; and the cen­ trifugal influence which came into existence has endured now for hundreds of years. Within the past few decades, however, this tendency to divide and subdivide has come to a halt and the process has been reversed. We are on our way to unity once more. J J -Most Rev. Karl J.

15 HIGGINS IS FAMILIAR FACE IN "ARREST AND TRIAL" THAT familiar face you've been seeing in ABC's popular Sunday night drama, "Arrest and Trial," belongs to the University's own JOE HIGGINS '49. There probably isn't a phase of show business not ex­ perienced by veteran actor Higgins, who plays Jake Shake­ speare, the versatile inn-keeper and advisor to the show's attorney Chuck Connors. Since he decided to go into en­ tertainment some thirty years ago, Higgins has done almost everything. He started as a radio staff announcer on WGN, Chicago, in 1934, and later moved to WLS there. He worked as an actor, director, and writer in those early years. In summers, Higgins took time off from broadcasting to act as a clown for the Cole Brothers Circus and also worked in a variety of other entertainment jobs. He was a booker and advance man for dance bands and also put together a troupe of youngsters to entertain in Veterans HIGGINS hospitals and orphanages. hotel chain, but even then, he found time to do TV com­ Higgins has appeared in the national company produc­ mercials and dabble in film s. tions of "Finian's Rainbow" in the title role and as Mr. Since taking up residence in Hollywood in recent years, Lundie in "Brigadoon."

INSURANCE PROGRAM PASSES $7 MILLION MARK The University's sponsored insurance program, first announced in The ALUMNUS last fall , has now passed the seven mil­ lion dollar mark in insurance applied for. More than 400 alumni have enrolled in the program, and some eighty per cent of them have made the University a total or partial beneficiary for more than $700,000. The original period of enrollment is ended, but alumni as well as faculty and staff members and senior students of the University may yet sign up for the unusual program, although evidence of insurability is now required. Requests for information on the program continue to arrive almost daily at the University. Such requests should be directed to Insurance Administrator, Development Office, University of Dayton, Dayton 9, Ohio.

18 prize winner

TENNIS, ANYONE? This dramatic photograph of a nun playing tennis on the Univer­ sity's courts was adjudged the best sports picture taken during 1963 by the Ohio Press Photographer's Association. Dayton Journal Herald Photographer Ed Johnsey took the prize-winner last sum­ mer when some 200 sisters from all over the nation were attending the University. The subject is Sister Columbiere of the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, Kans., who's now at work in the Peruvian mission fields, too busy, no doubt, to be playing tennis.
