"I have great faith in American youth. Ik I have never lost that and I won't lose it VIEWS now .. ,"

Four faculty members with a combined total of 111 years of service to Stout have announced their retirements. Because of their many years of involvement with students, they were asked at an informal coffee session candidly to discuss today's student. Their remarks were tape recorded and then edited for the Alum­ nus. The retiring faculty are Miss Anne Marshall, chairman of the department of science and a member of the staff since 1939; Erich R. Oetting, dean of the school of education and a staff member since 1945; Ray C. Johnson, athletic director since 1938, STUDENTS and Dwight D. Chinnock, professor of industrial education, facul­ ty athletic adviser and a staff member since 1940. Although some observations made during the free-wheeling session had to be dropped because of space limitations, much of the informative conversation remains.

Of course it's a little different than it was ten years ago when we were a small cozy group and we knew everybody.

If you were asked to summarize today's student for the alumni read­ ership, how would you describe him? Dr. Marshall Mr. Chinnock: I believe we have some very fine students. Take a look at our students. The ones that are leaders in the school are a fine bunch. The boys that I meet are a fine type of man.

With the same dedication of a bloodhound, a televi­ sion crew from Stout's audio-visual department stuck to the trail of Q1e bastketball team in the closing weeks of the BlueDevils' most successful basketball season. In doing so, both the team and the technicians broke new ground. As many fans already know, the BlueDevils captured the Wisconsin state university basketball crown, moved on to the district championship and then on to the national tournament in Kansas City. Along the route, they picked up countless awards. Mel Coleman, the BlueDevils sparkling center was named to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics' All­ American team, named the most valuable player in the state conference and in the district and, just recently, drafted by professional basketball. Starting forwards, Bill Heidemann and Cal Glover were also all-conference selections. Head Coach Dwain Mintz was picked by the N.A.I.A. as Wisconsin's coach of the year. What does basketball have to do with television?

Television Story Began The television story began at the tag end of the season as the BlueDevils prepared to face Stevens Point to decide who would represent the state conference in the district playoffs. Both teams had finished with 14-2 conference records. The game, to be played at Stout, was an immediate sellout. The unpleasant prospect of turning away thous­ ands of students and townspeople loomed large. .At ~hat point, the audio-visual department came up with a suggestion that was to save the hour. The game could be televised, they said. Some hurried meetings A New Partnership: were held around campus. Television was possible, every­ one decided, if Com-Tel, Menomonie's closed circuit television company, would permit the university to use Basketball & T e~ its transmitter. Budge O'Connell, owner of Com-Tel, was vacationing in the west, and had to be contacted for the okay. By telephone, he readily gave the go-ahead to air the game on channel 2, an educational channel that would be off the air at game time. Technicians then moved into action. They moved their equipment and cameras into the fieldhouse and began stringing cable. Other arrangements had to be made to get additional equipment to Com-Tel's transmitter atop Bundy hill - no small job in a winter of record snowfall. Another Menomonie firm, Michelbook Marine, pitched in to overcome the snow problem by lending the audio­ visual department one of their snowmobiles.

Equipment in Place With the equipment in place in the fieldhouse and on Bundy hill, the broadcasting staff had to be selected. Craig Halverson, normally a program director, got behind the mike as the play by play announcer. Jack Morehouse, an administrative assistant in A-V, became the color announcer. Working behind the scenes on the cameras and equipment were ten others, including Pat Haberman as director and David Beveridge as chief technician. While 3,000 fans cheered in the fieldhouse, thousands who could not get tickets to the game sat back in easy chairs in their homes or dorms and watched the Blue­ Devils hold off a last minute surge by the Pointers to win 90-88. Stout Alumnus Page 7

For the A-V department, the telecast was a sports first. For the BIueDevils, the game meant that they would represent the state conference in the district playoff. The next stop for the BIueDevils was Lakeland college at Sheboygan. A-V didn't make that trip, but was willing to go on to Kansas City for the nationals after the Blue­ Devils dumped Lakeland, 100 to 91.

Opening Game Stout played the opening game of the tournament in the Kansas City arena at 9:30 a. m. with Linfield (Ore.). To be ready by game time, the television crew had to set up equipment the night before. That in itself was somewhat of a problem. A circus played its final show that night at the arena and had to tear down. So, as the television crew moved its cables and equipment in, ele­ phants, high wires, sawdust and clowns were moved out. The Linfield team came into the 32-team tournament seeded tenth while the BlueDevils were unranked. This fact didn't upset Coleman, Heidemann and company. The Devils, playing their best ball of the season, swamped Linfield 113 to 80. The television crew captured all the actions and thrills of the Linfield g;;>me on two reels of videotape and had them flown immediately to Menomonie for home viewing on the Com-Tel cable. In the meantime, with fan excitement growing in Menomonie, about 1,000 students used all possible ways to get to Kansas City for Stout's second game. The BlueDevils had drawn Maryland State as their opponent.

Heartbreaking Note Unfortunately, the Maryland State game ended the BlueDevils' long and successful season on a heartbreaking • • note. Showing the same courage they had demonstrated v1S10n time and again during the regular season, the BlueDevHs fought back to overcome an 11 point halftime deficit and tie the game at 74-all at the end of regulation time. In the overtime period, Maryland hit several quick baskets and spurted ahead. Wjth two seconds left, the Blue­ Devils trailed by two points, but had possession of the ball under the Maryland basket. Head Coach Dwain Mintz called time Qut and mapped out the final play. The BlueDevils' last effort was to rest heavily on Greg Ebsen, junior guard, and the big center, Coleman. As Ebsen stood under the Maryland basket with the ball, Coleman broke from center court toward Stout's basket. Ebsen fired the ball down the length of the court toward the streaking Coleman. Coleman turned, reached for the ball and then watched disconsolately as it sailed out of bounds. The game ended a second later with Maryland the winn(;r, 85-83. With the BlueDevils out of the tournament, the long , trip back to Menomonie began. The television crew rolled up their cables, dismantled equipment and packed their cameras away. There was one final comment to be made, however. That occurred 24 hours later in Menomonie as Coach Mintz and members of the team tuned in on the video replay of the loss. "Watching the telecast was the same as having a night­ mare all over again," Coach Mintz said. "It gave me a feeling of satisfaction, though, knowing that we had played hard and that we had done the best that we were capable of."
