Notre Dame Alumnus, May-June, 1957 21 Fr. Thornton Surveys Student Summer Jobs Ambitious college students no longer need spend the summer months in work unrelated to dieir future profes­ sional careers, ac­ cording to Rev. Louis J. Thornton, C.S.C., placement director at Notre Dame. Instead of working as lifeguards, play­ ground supervisors or construction laborers, collegians now have Fr. Thornton a good chance of Rapid construction progress has been made at Notre Dame on two new residence halls and finding summer employment within another dining hall. There is a likely possibility that the three buildings will be ready for their own major field of interest and the opening of school in September instead of in the spring of 1958 as originally scheduled. at salaries often large enough to pay their tuition for the following school year. Father Thornton said. As a result of a recent survey, one hundred thirty-six business and indus­ trial firms have listed summer job op­ portunities at Notre Dame's placement bureau. About five-sixths of the com­ panies are primarily interested in engi­ neering and science majors, Father Thornton said, but commerce and lib­ eral arts students are in demand, too. "A carefully selected summer job can be a valuable supplement to formal academic training in one's chosen field," Father Thornton stressed. "It enables the student to see textbook theory put in practice," he said, "and it orients the collegian as to what he can expect John J.

Notre Dame Alumnus, May-June, 1957 N. D. Students Win $1,000 Design Prize

Two 21-year-old Notre Dame archi­ tecture students have won the $1,000 first prize in the 1957 national design competition sponsored by the Indian­ apolis Home Show. They are Noel Blank, Toledo, Ohio and David Billmeyer, AVisconsin Rapids, Wise. Their design of a single-stor\- ranch liouse was judged the best of 225 entries submitted by professional architects and architecture students throughout tiie country. Leon Chatc- lain, Jr., ^Vashington, D. C, president of the American Institute of Architects, headed the jury which selected the prize winners. The home designed by the two Notre Dame students will be built and fea­ tured at ne.\t year's Indianapolis Home Show, officials of the annual event said. Another Notre Dame student, Jaime Saenz of Cali, Columbia, designed the prize-winning home in 1954. Specifications of the competition called for a home for an elderly re­ tired couple. The Blank-Billmeyer home was selected. Home Show officials said, for its arrangement of space with hobby areas so situated that the husband and wife could be together even while busy at their own interests. It provides an area for a visiting daughter and her family so complete and removed from the parents that they would not be disturbed. The prize-winning home provides Notre Dame's prize-winning architecture students, left to right, 2,000 square feet of living area and is Noel Blank and David Billmeyer. of wood post and lintel construction.

Notre Dame Alumnus, May-]utu, J957 59 The University of Notre Dame Alumni Association

Cleveland, O. May 15, 1957 Fellow Alumni: If a first-time visitor to Notre Dame stays around long enough to get the feel of the place, one of the big things that strikes him is that the University has no tails wagging the dog.

Everj'tliing that's good and reasonable has a place in the University's program, but students, faculty and administration tr)' to subordinate eveiything to one clear-cut goal—graduation classes filled with young men well on their way toward becoming fully developed human beings. The spiritual comes first; under that, everj'thing else—academic, social, cultural and athletic—has its place and perspective.

There's a football stadium, for example, but there's also a Grotto and a Natural Law Institute and— beside the stadium—playing fields for the scores of intramural gridders who get the benefit of competitive football without the benefit of headlines.

The idea is that a man—or a University—can't overdevelop one phase of his personality without injuring othei-s. To put a name on it, the quality Notre Dame stresses is balance.

Balance not only in the University's attitude toward studies and recreation, but also in the students' attitudes toward each otlier. As most alumni know well, students at ND don't care much how important you are at home or how much money your father has in the bank. Nor, for that matter, are they overly concerned with your talent or physical strength. Those things are good, and nobody begrudges them. But, for the moment, you're a Notre Dame student just like everybody else, and you get treated pretty much the same as everybody else. You're judged and accepted on your personality and accomplishments here and now.

One result of this is that the student begins early to learn maturity in judgment and self-confidence in his dealings with other people. To take, in other words, a balanced view of life.

One aim of the Alumni Association is to cultivate continuation of this balance both in its own program and in the graduate's pei-sonal life. The Association tries to recognize and promote its members' business and professional progress, cultural and social life, physical interest and spiritual life, .<:o they'll remain and grow as "whole men."

Our emphasis will shift from time to time^from reunions to retreats to club parties to football tickets to reading lists to Communion breakfasts to job-placement problems. But no legitimate interest wll be e.K- cluded, and none will be unreasonably promoted. The idea is to keep them all rolling at once and on an even keel. In a word, balance. ; Sincerely,

J. PATRICK CANNY, President
