This issue of the ALUMNUS magazine is a case history. The creation of the Edward Fred­ erick Sorin Alumni Award for Dis­ tinguished Service to the University is another. The story of that Award editorial and Father Hesburgh, its recipient, is part of this issue. The Science Centennial Awards— 30 prominent alumni and former faculty members recognized by the College of Science in its 100th yesr — mark a new depth alumni program. The shift to six full issues of the ALUMNUS on a regular schedule during 1966 will offer many advantages, talked about previously, now activated. Jim Cooney is facing the Club program with progress already breathing down his neck. The Science Centennial Awards in three Club cities mark one challenge. Another high-pressure first was the 20-Club use of closed circuit TV for the Michigan State game, on a week's notice. Most important, surveys from more than 100 Clubs will permit an analysis of present Club strength and weakness. (Ask your Club president if he sent in your Club survey—too many haven't.) The Foundation program is opening up two new alumni programs. One is the Annual Alumni Fund, under Dennis Troester, which will enlist the long-used (elsewhere) and effective Class Agent as a supplement to the existing alumni appeal channels of the Foundation. The other is the De­ ferred Giving Agent, being organized in the Classes by Frank Kelly, to bring to Notre Dame the tremendous results of suc­ cessful estate planning. These two programs will not involve any overemphasis on fund raising, but rather will bring new strength and identity to our Class organizations. On the campus, Jim Gibbons is working with campus Club and Class officers, projects which ^vill be reflected in stronger future Class structures, and in closer ties between Clubs and campus. Probably nothing looms larger in the alumni future than the new Kellogg Continuing Education Center. This new facility, under the forward-looking leadership of Dean Thomas Bergin, is not only a new buUding but the center of a new way of alumni life. These are not Old-Year-Out, New-Year-In gimmicks to be introduced with lights and noise and cheers, to attract a new market. I expect to be around a while. And I e.xpect the great programs that the Alumni Association has brought to Notre Dame to remain. But look for the new faces—Cooney, Thurin, Troester, Gibbons and Bergin in particular. And look for the new programs. Your Alumni Board (read and use your 1965 ballot) will provide informed, competent leadership. THIS MAGAZINE IS PUBLISHED BI­ MONTHLY BY THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME.

Two other matters also received consider­ able attention on the campus and in the press: NCAA regulation of foot­ ball telecasts and student behavior at football games at home and away. Contention: Campus debate on Amer­ ican policies in Viet Nam culminated Oct. 16 in a marathon seminar in the Law Auditorium sponsored by the Academic Commission of Farley Hall. Thirteen speakers including Rep. William G. Bray of Indiana and severzd Notre Dame faculty mem­ bers — Gerhart Niemeyer, Samuel Shapiro, James Bogle, Rev. Earl Johnson, OSB, and Rev. Peter Riga — presented varying shades of opin­ ion ranging from unilateral with­ drawal from Viet Nam to greater military action. As many as 150 stu­ dents listened to the campus debate throughout the eleven-hour seminar. Subsequently, Father Riga and Dr. Joseph Duffy, Jr., of the English nrrdepartment, announceid plans to par­ ticipate in a Nov. 27 "Peace March" in Washington, D. C, sponsored by the National Coordinating Commit­ tee to End the War in Viet Nam. An undetermined number of Notre Dame students was expected to join them in the Thanksgiving weekend peaceful demonstration. At about the same time, a petition signed by 3,100 Notre Dame students expressing support of U. S. policy in Viet Nam and gratitude to the men of the armed services "for their self­ less service there" was sent to Pres­ ident Johnson and General WiUiam Westmoreland, commanding general of U. S. Forces in Viet Nam. One hundred twenty pages of signatures were gathered on the campus by members of the Young Republicans of Notre Dame and the Notre Djune chapter of the National Federation of Catholic College Students.
