Sportswriter Dave Anderson of the St. Cloud "Times" wrote earlier this season: "When it comes to basketball, nobody, but nobody, has a right to toot his horn louder than Frank Wachlarowicz. The St. John's University center, however, isn't that type of person. Rarely, if ever, will he accept credit for an accomplishment. It's always his teammates who get the job done. When he says he owes a great deal to the likes of Pat McKenzie, Ted Nowak and Dan Smith, he's sincere, truly sincere. Wachlarowicz is class, all class .... "His teammates, better than anybody else, un­ derstand him best. They like his goals, his ideals, his competitiveness. They like what he stands for. Maybe that's why reserves like John Eisenschenk and John Harvey bolt from their courts ide seats every time he executes a stirring play." Broadcaster Connie Overboe of WWJO in St. Cloud has seen nearly all of Frank's college games and "Connie 0" thinks he is "fantastic. The thing that impresses me most is Frank's consistency. He's not flashy, just a steady performer who doesn't have a bad game and does so many things well. He's a Frank Wachlarowicz as cover boy. rare breed; you can see why he is one of three col­ lege players ever in Minnesota to score 2,000 points. "His attitude is also great," Overboe notes. "He's such a nice guy. When they stopped the game after he scored his 2,OOOth point and he reached over to kiss his mom, I had tears in my eyes. You probably could tell over the radio, too." Smith recalls that when Wachlarowicz was a freshman "it was not easy for Frank to fit in on a ball club dominated by upper-classmen. There were no problems; the juniors and seniors readily accepted him. Today he is a big help with the younger play­ ers. I'm sure he would be an excellent coach because he relates to people so well. "Frank is a great person. He does the little things that make him way above the average guy," Smith says. "It may be because his parents are such wonderful, down-to-earth people. They have done a magnificent job in raising him." Speaking for himself, Wachlarowicz says his years at SJU have been rewarding-"not only in the academic field but also in the growing relationships I have been able to make with roommates, other friends, teachers and the people of St. John's com­ munity." When asked about his Johnnie basketball career, he referred to the honors he earned but stressed "working with a super coach and having terrific teammates." An elementary education major, Frank plans to teach-and try professional basketball in the United States or Europe. He has great recommendations from some people who should know. D

ST. JOHN'S NEWS REVIEW Fr. Michael announces capital campaign; Bush awards campaign challenge St. John's University has raised $S million in a capital campaign which will conclude during 1980. With the leadership phase of "The Campaign for St. John's" completed, the University Board of Regents have established a final goal of $7.5 million. During the course of the campaign, St. John's will raise an addi­ tional $6 million in annual funds for current operations. In making the announcement in February, University President Michael Blecker, OSB, said that John H. Myers, former chairman of the Board of Regents, will serve as volunteer chairman of the public 1 President's Report 1978 phase of St. John's largest fund-raising effort ever. Priorities approved by the SJU Board of Regents in "The Campaign for St. John's" include renovation of the Quadrangle, the main academic building on campus; endowment for preparation of future Benedictine members of the faculty; endowment for permanent and visiting faculty chairs; endowment for student scholarships; and endowment for the Hill Monastic Manuscript Library. Other needs include renovation of the auditorium and student dormitories and improvement of inner­ campus thoroughfares to provide better access for the handicapped. "St. John's is a strong and viable private university," Fr. Michael said. "With the help of many alumni and friends as well as corpora­ tions, government agencies and private foundations, the University has been able to share in the values formation of young people, maintain academic excellence and provide service in a broad range of activities. Despite inflation, we have achieved goals of academic and professional Saint John's University education and community service within a balanced budget. "Economic issues, however, will be a major concern in the next decade," Fr. Blecker continued. "The faculty recently implemented a revised curriculum to assure that our students receive a well-rounded liberal arts education. Now we must assure fiscal stability in the chal­ lenging years ahead through continued planning, efficient operation and accountability in all departments as well as by securing the capital funds necessary. "Our future economic priorities have been carefully determined and reflect a commitment not merely to survive, but to foster the dis­ tinguishing features of our educational programs and the Benedictine heritage they represent. I am sure our alumni, friends and others share that commitment." The Bush Foundation of St. Paul has shown its support of St. John's by awarding a $333,000 challenge grant. Fr. Michael explained that the foundation will match major gifts from alumni, parents and friends on a one to two basis to raise a total of $1 million. S.

8 16 School of Theology awarded Lilly grant ST. St. John's University School of Theology has been awarded a grant of $35,000 by the Lilly Endowment, Inc., of Indianapolis. In making NE'''f the announcement Jan. 4, Fr. Kieran Nolan, OSB, dean of the School of Theology, said the grant will be used for a development program to meet the School's specific needs. Fr. Kieran commented: "Fund-raising projects have been well or­ ganized and effective on the undergraduate level at St. John's. We will work closely with the University development staff to improve the School of Theology development efforts." He added that the grant will be matched by funds from the University. The grant was one of 16 made by the Lilly Endowment in a com­ petition involving the development programs of theological schools across the country. The 16 were selected from 83 schools that sub­ mitted proposals. St. John's was one of three Catholic institutions awarded grants.

Local government center changes function, name The Center for the Study of Local Government (CSLG) at St. John's University has evolved into the Center for Human and Com­ munity Development (CHCD). Announcement of the name change was made Jan. 31 by Dr. Dennis Kleinsasser, center director. "The old name no longer described what we have become," he said. "Although much of our effort in the past few years was aimed at local government officials, we were involved in a variety of activities that can more aptly be described as 'community and organizational development.' Our name had become misleading." Dr. Kleinsasser explained that the CSLG was founded in 1968 with a grant from the Ford Foundation to study non-metropolitan government. Emphasis has shifted over the years from a singular focus on local government to a much broader spectrum of programs. The Center has designed and offers leadership training for community or­ ganizations including school boards, planning commissioners, personnel directors and a variety of citizen groups. The Center can also respond to applied research needs of communities and agencies with organiza­ tional surveys, needs assessments and program evaluations.

Students spend January as 'externs' Twenty four students from St. John's University and the College of St. Benedict took a close look at career possibilities during the January Term. Working with sales managers, lawyers, nurses, public relations firms and in other fields, the students were "externs." The month-long January Term enables students to study a single subject-or a career-in depth. "Through first hand experience," explains Dr. Kirk Lamb of St. John's Student Development Office, "the students were able to evaluate critically a career area." The students spent the first week of the term in the classroom, preparing for the two-week externship and examining their career and personal goals. After their 10 days of "employment," they evaluated the learning experience with members of the psychology department. Jim McConnell '65, placement director at the College of St. Bene­ dict, explains that the program is unique. "An individual student was Sf.
