** ,r MARCH / 1969 V RECORD

Founders Week at Rollins / 1969 — story on page 4 In keeping with all that's new at Winter Park, the 1969 Rollins Alumni Fund has been reorganized and expanded to achieve greater participation and increased dollars. The general campaign will run from March through June. It will be based on the Class Agent system used so successfully by many other colleges and universities. Each class will have a Chairman who will be assisted by one Agent for every ten classmates. It will be the Agents who will be responsible for the general solicitation. Leadership gifts will be a vital factor in increasing dol- lars contributed. Under the Chairmanship of John C. Myers '42 the leadership gift phase of the campaign will be expanded. Alumni who contribute $100 to the Fund become regular members of the Hamilton Holt Club. Those who contribute $250 or more become Bronze Star Members. Silver Stars are awarded to those giving $500, and Gold Stars to those contributing $1,000 or more. Not Warren C. Hume only are we counting on many new members of the National Chairman Hamilton Holt Club, but we also hope that former mem- bers will advance to one of the three new categories within the Club. The importance of annual giving to the future of Rollins College cannot be overstated. Like all other colleges and universities, Rollins' operating costs have soared beyond Warren the income from tuition fees and endowments. It will become increasingly more difficult for Rollins to provide competitive faculty salaries, supply new and improved Hume equipment and facilities, maintain a stimulating curricu- lum, and offer increased scholarship aid. Annual giving is a necessary answer to budget balancing. Charts My personal thanks go to each of the Class Chairmen and Class Agents who will give their time and interest to Rollins this Spring. I would also like to express my appre- New ciation to all of you who have supported the Fund in the past, and I hope we can count on each and every Alumnus Course to give to the 1969 Fund."

Todd Persons received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from Rollins in 1958. He received an Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award in his senior year. For nine years he was a news writer for the Orlando Sentinel-Star. In 1965 he was cited by a Congressional sub- committee investigating land fraud for a series of articles on illegal land sales' practices in Central Florida. In 1967, Persons was named manag- ing editor of the Cupboard News, a bi- weekly newspaper in Orlando.

Dr. von Braun was a willing pupil, listening intently and asking questions as the guide de- scribed the lab. "We used to have an old skele- ton rattling around in a closet back in our German college," von Braun recalled. von Braun, the developer of the V-2 rocket that nearly changed the course of World War II, made few references during the interview to the days when he was Germany's leading scientist. He didn't avoid the subject of his war days, but he preferred to talk about the present. "We did develop a team, there," he said. It was the first "team con- cept" for space technologists. It is an accepted plan of attack on space now. An aide appeared at the door of the lab. He had the doctor's speech clutched in his hand, and wore a worried look.

During the decade that I have lived and worked in some of the nation's scientific-engineering communities, I have met at least one male monomath a week. One plush apartment complex just across the street from Houston's Manned Spacecraft Center is thick with single monomaths, married monomaths and, worst of all, even male monomaths married to female monomaths.

He lives as he drives, quite comfortably.

ROLLINS BASKETBALL The many Rollins Alumni who contributed to the build- ing of the new Enyart-Alumni Field House would feel rewarded for their efforts if they could see the basket- ball team in action. They ended the 68-69 season with a 16-10 record. The student so-called "apathy" has disappeared with the 2,500-seat Field House well filled with wildly cheering students every game. If you are visiting the campus, a visit to the Field House should be a "must." Also, those of you who contributed $100 or more toward a "brick" or a "seat" ... do not get discouraged. The "bricks" are in process and should be mounted in the Field House lobby within a few months. 11 CLIMB ABOARD THE I960
