I am pleased to report that through strong repre- sentations made by alumni officers, your association has been invited to participate in the shaping of the future of Whittier College. I hope that this will continue in the future, to the betterment of all concerned. At present, a committee has been formed to select a new president to succeed Dr. Smith. It is made up of members of the Board of Trustees, the Faculty Senate, the Associated Students and the Alumni Association. Students and alumni are represented by two members each. Serving the alumni are your president and the president of Whittier College Associates, Wayne Harvey. Students are represented by the student body president and associated women's students president. Tom Bewley serves in a dual capacity, as chairman of the committee as well as president of the Board of Trustees. The role of the committee is that of preparing recommendations of candidates for the presidency to the trustees, with whom the final decision rests. Meetings have been held regularly throughout the summer and will continue to be held on an acceler- ated schedule this fall. Work of the committee and the groups its members represent has been harmonious and it has been evident that all share the same concern—that Whit- tier College must have the best man for the job, one whose talents embrace academic, administrative and financial fields. Up to the date of this publication, much prelim- inary work has been done and a long list of possible candidates has been researched, discussed, inter- HOWARD SEELYE '48

The committee's work has been complicated by the fact that there are at least 200 known openings across the nation for college presidents—and some believe as many as 400 openings may in fact exist. This rather long and involved explanation is made so that the alumni members may know that its association is deeply involved in the selection of a president. I am happy that alumni have been included as representatives on the committee and it appears that the broad-based committee approach chosen by Tom Bewley for this search was a wise decision.

climate, even minimal family disturbance may be translated into highly provocative behavior. The next group of hypotheses place the student in a favorable light. They view him as a victim of man-made circumstances and maintain that student unrest is a legitimate and rational effort to change these circumstances. The student is viewed as either a helpless victim of a world he never created, or as a hero seeking to cleanse the world of the evils of previous generations. To be useful, these hypotheses must not simply define what is wrong with the world, but must suggest how various factors have made students more capable of perceiving and acting upon the injustices and irrationalities of our world. The first of these "favorable" hypotheses focuses on the cold war. This generation of students has grown in an age when the world has been divided into two large camps that have been competing with each other ideologically and politically; and since the Russians launched their first satellite, the competition has also been educational. Students today are trained in a school system that emphasizes the competitive acquisition of knowledge as a source of power and stability. By the time they leave high school they are better educated than any previous generation of students; but they are also more overworked. All of this emphasis on education and competition is not easily sustained after the student arrives at the university. By this time he is at least par- tially burned out. The personal benefits of intensive studying and searching for a profitable career begin to appear less attractive in an affluent world and particularly in a world that seems to be making it increasingly difficult for a young person to become an integral part of the economic system. As the student comes to view the implications of our com- petitiveness with Communism as a never-ending phenomenon, he also begins to question the social value of his efforts. Even if he maintains his enthus- iasm for academic work through the undergraduate years, by the time the student reaches graduate school, he increasingly asks himself whether the competitive search for knowledge is worth it. At this point he begins to view our competition with the Communist world (and sometimes competitive- ness itself) as a form of mass paranoia and he views the university as an agent of the government that contributes to the perpetuation of the paranoid system. He reacts by protest or withdrawal. The second "favorable" hypothesis focuses on the for affluence, power, and bigness and face the possibility that and that big institutions diminish the stature of man" S. L. Halleck

by Gloria Walls Seelyc '48

Who can name all the near 200 trees on the campus? Who oversaw refurbishing the college dorms during the summer? Who supervised and selected the new plantings for the college? You'd never guess the answer unless you were an intimate friend of Lillian Smith - wife of a college professor for 29 years, wife of the college president for 18 years and now the wife of the new chancellor of Whittier College. Mrs. Paul S. Smith dearly loves this institution to which she came as a new bride in 1923. It has been her life and she speaks fondly about the students - almost as if they were her children. She pointed out the new chain link fence and plantings which now set off the science building from the street, the first day the campus doors opened in September. You can be sure she had her hand in that. She was worried about the recovered couch and drapes which had been promised by Sept. 10th for Wanberg. Summertime is no vacation - it is a very busy time for Mrs. Smith. Her big project over the years - her own thing - has been to beautify the campus. She received a special note of credit in S. A. Watson's new book on "Trees of Whittier." The former professor of biology at Whittier called on Mrs. Smith to help name the campus trees. Her real green thumb was put to a test when the Smiths moved into the lovely Aubrey Wardman hacienda atop the hills just three years ago. Willed to the president of the college, the spacious Span- ish home boasted a full rose garden. It has been nurtured by Mrs. Smith who supervises all of the pruning and watering - a gardener comes once a week. Evidence that the rose garden receives tender loving care was found in abundance throughout the lovely home following the reception for Dr. and Mrs. Harold Case as they arrived for the opening of the fall term to take over the role of acting president. More than 200 faculty and board of trustee members, plus their spouses were present for the affair. A rosebud arrangement greeted guests in the entrance hail, a lovely full bouquet occupied a place of honor in the parlor and a single pale pink rosebud graced the powder room. Mrs. Smith was wearing the same pale grey-pink print brocade dress she had worn for the party when it came time to pose for interview pictures. She was reticent - never having been asked for an interview before. But, gracious and with her usual verse, she was happy to talk of her role as wife of a college president. them it's good enough for us."

One NAIA All-American and four all-district 3 selections played out their collegiate eligibility at Whittier College last fall, but coach John Godfrey hopes he has scraped up enough holdovers and transfers to produce an interesting 1969 football season. Gone but not forgotten are Dave Newell, All- American center; halfback Ross Stewart, who gained nearly 2,500 yards in three years; cornerback Charles Warrington and guard Ernie Omri, both all-district nominees, and split end Wally Wooten, who caught 101 passes in two seasons and erased Ken Gregory's single game reception mark with 14 against Cal Poly (Pomona). Godfrey, dean of the Southern California Inter- collegiate Athletic Conference coaches, admits the losses were heavy. There are 20 letter winners, 13 transfers and several promising sophomores who could develop into a contender for Whittier's eighth conference title in 10 years. Currently, the two most prominent names in Poetville are fullback Lionel Pointer, a two-year letterman and No. 4 rusher in the SCIAC and 220- pound tackle Greg Sherrill, a two-way performer. Both were second team all-conference last year. Another two-year letterman is John Mele, who has quarterbacked the Poets to two consecutive league championships. Mele, however, expects competition from former St. Paul High star, Dave Wargo, transferring to Whittier from the University of California at Berkeley. Poet signal caller of the future apparently will be freshman Wayne Estabrook, all-San Gabriel Valley League choice, who directed California High into the CIF playoffs last year.
