Dear Alumni and Friends of Indiana Central: This letter is being written between Thanksgiving and Christmas. it is a season of gratitude and my mind quite naturally reflects the gratitude which overflows my heart. Indiana Central has much for which to give thanks: -For the early fathers who had the vision and foresight to plan an institu- tion of higher education in a location which, had they known about 1-465, 1-65, 1-70, etc., could not have been more carefully planned. -For generous benefactors of days past and the present who have invested and continue to give for the construction of modern facilities, and subsidize educational programs. -For faculty and students (and we think we attract the best in both) who confront facts and exchange ideas in an environment dedicated to quality, yet with a commitment to the full understanding of life’s critical values. -For a community that has been responsive to having us in their midst; in the neighborhood, in the city of Indianapolis, in the state of Indiana, and in the midwest. Our sphere of influence continues to broaden and expand. -For alumni and friends who continue to be our most valuable ambassadors of good will as they tell the “Indiana Central story” and regularly attract new friends and new students for the university. -For opportunities unlimited that, as we help chart the future course, doors continue to open to new areas of service allowing us to make the future more secure and promising than even our distinguished past. It is a season for gratitude! We are constantly grateful for all that has been done for Indiana Central by so many persons in so many ways. It is also a season to be jolly! We rejoice in this season of joy, not alone for the message of Christmas and the meaning of Christian higher education which accompanies that event and our mission, but for the “good news” that we can herald of exciting days ahead for your aha mater. Most sincerely, Gene E. Sease

4 Reflections Alumnus and Wife Reflect on Central

by Paula and Rick Swengel Rick: As a member of the last class to graduate from Indiana Central College, I have come to appreciate how indispensible the friends made at college can be to a person. Friends that are fun to be with, helpful and can not be considered just “fair weather” friends-these are the friendships that grew out of my years at ICC-the type of people who are still at ICU. And I, (Paula) with one more year left at ICU, have met many wonderful people. Some of those friends become lifelong companions, even if they do wind up being your husband or wife. Like most people, we met through a mutual acquaintance who we later accused of intentionally avoiding the introduction or, at the very least, being extremely negligent in not performing the task. Ah, yes . . . the study dates! Prior to college most people experience a so called “study date” but when a person gets into college, he or she sometimes actually studies. But for 13 hours on the first date? And 12 on the next? The entire campus offers places and activities in which strangers can meet. Somehow we have a tendency to overlook some of those potential friends-we’re just too busy. But all of the activities need support from students, faculty and alumni; from athletics to theatre, they all serve the college and the students. Remember the student publications? Did you ever notice how the RE- FLECTOR changed appearance from year to year; and sometimes from issue to issue? Putting in those uedit-free and, for the most part, pay-free hours was great experience but very, very tiring. During the battle over women’s hours (middle of the ‘74-’75 academic year) we waited until both President Sease and Central Council President Barry Howard had proof-read the statements they had given us for publication. The response to the REFLECTORS presentation of the statements was favorable from all sides. The staff, of course, had its own com- ments on the ever-present editorial page. At ICU something is always going on; banning of 3.reeing” (which we both think was a cruel practice) , women’s hours, convocations, dances and waiting for the swamp monster to make a foul-smelling return to the concourse area- usually taking over the bookstore end and the mail boxes while threatening to creep its way into the far end offices. And, of course, for anyone involved in the theatre department, there was striking the set (taking it apart). Where there are friends there are always enemies. Not everyone you meet likes you, or you them. Remember the stuck-up person in your World Civ class, or the one who was determined to stare a hole right through you because you were trying to date the same person he or she was? And wery class had a “shrinking violet” that you were never quite sure of. She was quiet, apparently intelligent, and (we thought) potentially dangerous. The “harmless unless pro- voked” tag that was placed on Paula in the staff picture printed at the end of last year, seemed to give people a giggle. . . . Paula sees things a little differently than I do since she is still a student at ICU. She sees more problems with the same awareness that her fellow students do, but college is something that one does not miss until he no longer has the opportunity to experience the activities and many friendships. For those of us who have already graduated-REMEMBER!! Those memories will last a life time. For those who have yet to finish all the “micky mouse,” get everything you can out of those four years. You can never go back, but the memories will be yours to enjoy. 5 Students’ Calls Raise $1 8,000 In Alumni Gifts This year’s Indiana Central Alumni/Student Telethon proved to be a record-setting project. By passing the $18,000 mark in pledges received in the two-week period of calls to alumni around the continental United States and in Hawaii and Alaska, the event marked a jump of nearly 40% over pledges for the same period last year. Students under the direction of Alumni Director Jim Brunnemer and several other ICU staff members made the attempt to call as many Indiana Central alums as possible. Jim says that the key to the success of this now annual project is the interest and dedication of the students who do the actual calling, and who hand address the follow-up cards that remind alums of their pledges. This year 44 ICU students took time out from their evenings to call from ICU and from the local business office of ICU alumnus Bill Kiesel who graciously allowed the students to use his company’s wide area telecommuni- Coach Bill Bless, shown above talking to his 1975 Greyhound cations system to call persons in the Eastern part of the football squad, was named Indiana Co!legiate Conference Coach of the Year after leading the ‘Hounds to an 8-2 season record U.S. toll free.

Late in 1975 it was announced that two Indianapolis government officials would be joining the faculty of In- diana Central. Mayor Richard Lugat, who did not seek re-election in 1975, was the first to announce a move to the South- side. Lugar was a respected scholar before becoming mayor of the All-American City. He had been a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University. Mayor Lugar will direct the university’s new public affairs program which is designed to prepare students for work in all phases of public service work. Lugar will also be a visiting professor in political science and will teach two classes in the Winter term, one in ethics and public responsibility, and one in state and local government. Lugar has been a member of the Indiana Central Board of Trustees since 1970 and is pre- sently vice-chairman of the Board. A A___ Mayor Lugar Second to join the staff was Mrs. Sue Anne Gilroy, n Director of the Indianapolis Department of Parks and Recreation. Mrs. Gilroy will be directing the university’s new program in Community Services, funded by last summer’s $100,000 grant from the Lilly Endowment, Inc. Mrs. Gilroy will deal with a number of on-campus and off-campus programs designed to meet community needs. She will also teach one of the courses in the CUT- rent human relations program at ICU.

Music ICU Hosts First City Opera Group Indiana Central now has an opera company, the first in the history of the city of Indianapolis. ICU faculty member Miriam Ramaker, a voice teacher in the music department, was instrumental in the formation of the company and now serves as president of its executive committee. Dr. Lynn Youngblood also serves on the exec- utive committee. The first presentation of the Indianapolis Opera Company, Inc. will be ‘The Telephone” by Gian Carlo Minotti on March 5 and “The Devil and Daniel Webster” on March 6.

Sut- phin Lectures at Indiana Central University, November 5-7. Dr. Sieber spoke three times about “Art in African Life.” The first lecture, titled “Art in African Life: Social Control,” was given in Ransburg Auditorium on Wednes- day, November 5. The second, “Art in African Life: An- cestors and Kings” was presented on Wednesday night in Recital Hall. Friday morning, November 7 at 9:45 a.m. in Ransburg Auditorium, Dr. Sieber talked on the sub- ject: “Art in African Life: Adornment.” Dr. Sieber has spent more than two years in African villages learning and observing sculpture, weaving and pottery techniques.

All students who are on scholarship must work at least one hour each day. All janitorial work, yard work, and kitchen work not done by professionals is done by the students. The McCurdy kids also chip in time to help in work on crafts that when sold to friends of the school around the US. and the world help to tell the school’s story. The students don’t seem to mind, either. They all pitch in to help and have earned the school a reputation for academics and athletics that is known throughout the state. But the history of McCurdy has always been the his- tory of dedication, especially in its faculty and adminis- tration. An excellent example of the kind of spirit that has shaped the school, and that has helped to also make Indiana Central what it is today can be shown in the lives of two ICC grads who work at the school. They are Sam ’54 and Mary ’54 Hilton. Before coming to the McCurdy school some years ago, they had already established a pattern of selfless giv- ing by traveling to East Africa to teach. Sam later taught for seven years in the Denver, CO schools but wasn’t quite satisfied. Sam candidly says, “Mary and I wanted to avoid Dale Robinson ‘52, above, is superintendent of the McCurdy School complex that includes an elementary school and high school, as well as a school for L.P.N.‘s.

The School serves both boarding students and stu- dents who come from the surrounding area. Familys in Espanloa look to McCurdy as a refuge from public schools which, though steadily improving, still fail frequently to adequately prepare students for a worthwhile life. Sixty- five percent of the students at McCurdy have Spanish surnames. Many of these are native Americans. Yet students do come to McCurdy from all across the United States and sometimes from foreign countries. Dale Robinson, superintendent of the schools at the mission, says that one of the most difficult tasks facing him and the other members of the faculty and adminis- tration at the school is the question of who will become J a student. For virtually every new class there is a waiting list. But the school doesn’t take only the best student. That k certainly isn’t what missions are about. The School tries . to serve students who really need it. Nearly 50% of the youngsters who live in the campus dormitories come to McCurdy from broken homes. The school also accepts some referrals from welfare agencies and some probation- ary students. In every case, however, the choice of coming to McCurdy must be that of the student. The school is in no way a dumping ground.

Sam Hilton ‘54, above right, and his wife, Mary (Huston) ’54, taught in Africa before coming to work at the McCurdy school. Today Sam teaches, is a weatherman, and is famous for riding his bicycle in all kinds of weather to the campus a couple of miles away. 19 pression years bears his name and is a tribute to his determ- ination and ability to enlist people to work on needed projects. He started mission churches in nearby Hernandez, El Rito, Alcalde, Velafde, Taos, and Vallecitos. Alcalde and Velarde had elementary schools as part of their pro- gram. The school health center grew into the only hospital serving northern New Mexico. Indiana Central honored this outstanding alumnus by awarding him a Doctor of Divinity degree in 19??. Doctor and Mrs. McCracken live in their retirement on McCurdy Road, three blocks from the campus, in a charm- ing adobe house. Glenn raises sheep and keeps in warm friendly touch with several generations of McCurdy grad- uates. The McCrackens were followed by another ICC alumnus, Dale Robinson, ('52 ) . Dale and his wife Marga- ret '53 and their four children live in the superintendent's home on the campus. Dale guides a greatly enlarged and modernized McCurdy. The school today has its roots firmly planted in the old tradition of service, education and op- portunity for all; but to meet the needs and challenges of today's world, new buildings, new programs and living styles have been developed. Devotions still begin each day. A daily class of some religious course is a required part of each student's schedule. Students take full care of the dormitories, the cafeteria and student center. They assist in the care and maintenance of the grounds, and help with the laundry. Brian Thompson '72, above, shown here with his doughter, Rachel, is choirmon of the English Deportment at McCurdy.

McCurdy students test two years higher than the national average while the pubiic schools of New Mexico test two years below the average. This gives McCurdy students a four year advant- age. Many well-to-do parents seek this advantage for their children but enrollment in this mission school is determ- ined first by the need of the student rather than his ability to pay. To be superintendent of the McCurdy Schools one must have a “diversity of gifts, but one spirit.” Within one week spent at McCurdy a visitor might find Dale Robinson busy with many different duties; in his office handling a myriad of details, giving historical lectures to visiting groups, driving the school bus to the opera or a sporting event, playing softball on a team with his sons Steve and Mike while Margaret and daughters Lisa and Kyla cheer from the stands, serving homemade ice cream and grilling hamburgers at a faculty party, playing violin in the community orchestra, or participating in Sunday morning church service. His faculty is excellently pre- pared and carefully selected. Each member has a special ingredient, a desire to render Christian service in a mission setting. Each one seems to have many abilities and talents; teaching, preaching, coaching athletics, participating in musical organizations or working on community projects. Indiana Central University’s motto “Education for Ser- vice” is found in action in the McCurdy Schools. In addition to those already mentioned: Virgil Hague (’33) is the Development Officer to plan for the steady growth of these schools. He is Public Relations director and travels thousand of miles telling the M&rdy story. Ralph Miller (’46)is sixth grade teacher and Junior High football and basketball coach. Lloyd Muterspaugh (’66) is business teacher and football assistant coach. His wife, Linda (’62) is a sub- stitute teacher. Susan Shodrey, ( ‘72) teaches high school math. Brian Thompson, (’72) teaches high school English. Pat Miller, ( ’73 ) teaches elementary school. c These ICU Alumni working with other faculty mem- bers, most of them Global Missionaries in the United Methodist Church, bring a vigorous intellectual experience to McCurdy students.
