When Roy Newsom entered Whittier College as a freshman in 1930, nothing was further from his mind than that he would one day be its President. Now, after 46 years of association with the College, he and his wife Alice have moved into the Wardman House, the traditional home of Whittier College Presidents. So many alumni have come under the influence of Dr. Newsom as teacher, friend or associate, that it seems almost impertinent to try to describe the man who now heads Whittier College. Each and every person who has known him has formed an idea of "Mr. Whittier," yet his story is worth telling—not just on account of his accomplish- ments, but because it is the story of a man with a dual personality, a man with a conscience, a man of strong feelings, a humble and dedicated man, a family man. Raised on a citrus ranch in nearby Rivera, the young man who was to become Whittier's tenth President loved country living and had every intention of working a ranch of his own. He had no interest in the ephemeral excitement of cities, in the crowded conditions, in apartment living. Yet he felt a strong compunction to be of help to his fellowmen at a time when the entire country was suffering from a disastrous depression. Social work, as we know it now, was non-existent, but teaching was also a form of service and his mother and many other relatives had entered that profession, so he determined that he would follow their example. Whittier College was not too far from the ranch he loved, and it was affiliated with the Quakers, whose ethical concepts he endorsed, so it was natural that he should select the College for his undergraduate studies. The lightheartedness that had been so evident on college campuses during earlier years was lacking during Newsom's period as a student. Throughout the country, middle Americans, hard-working, steady people, who were not seeking fortunes but were concerned with keeping a home together, were losing their jobs by the million and could not find other employment. The effect on students was sobering and frightening. At later successive periods students would suffer individual fears of losing their lives in war, but survival was still possible. During the 30's, their very survival was threatened, and they were anxious and apprehensive. As a freshman, Newsom married Alice Morgan and the young couple had their first child, Herbert Charles, in 1932, to be joined later—when the financial situation had eased—by two sisters.

Children Can Read If Properly Taught
Murphy Memorial Hospital, purchased by the College in 1926 and first used as a student residence hail, now houses the joint facilities of the Reading Clinic, Speech Clinic, and student Health Services. Murphy Hall is the ideal facility for the essential intimacy of the clinician/pupil relationship, with larger rooms for class lectures and seminars. But it was not always so. Many Whittier College grads remember, with some nostalgia, the "old" Reading Clinic, when it was quartered in the huts behind what was then the Admissions Office. Clinicians and pupils worked side by side in cubicles, often frustrated when a clinician in one cubicle asked a question and a pupil in another answered. But what does the Reading Clinic actually do? The Clinic actually has two separate yet overlapping functions. The first is to provide future teachers with both a theory course AND a practical experience in the teaching of reading. When you think that one of every four children in the schools in our country has a serious reading problem, and that in the major metropolitan areas like Los Angeles, up to half of the pupils have reading disabilities, then developing competence in the teaching of reading becomes critical. The second function of the Clinic is, of course, to provide assistance in reading to the school students from the community. As a community arm of the College, the Clinic has been responsible for the rehabilitation of thousands of disabled readers over the past two decades. In the past five years, the Reading Clinic courses have become "re- quired" of all Whittier College Education students. I believe that this has had a profound effect on the quality of teacher the College has been graduating.

Whittier Appoints New Law School Dean Ernest C. Friesen, Jr., has been appointed Dean of the Whittier College Beverly School of Law. Dean Friesen, who obtained his A.B. from Kansas University and his J.D. from Columbia University Law School, was formerly a United States Assistant Attorney General and Director of the Ad- ministrative Office of the United States Courts. The new Dean recently returned to the United States from a Fulbright Fellowship as Senior Research Fellow and Pro- fessor of Judicial Administration at the University of Bir- mingham, in England. In addition to his other experience, he was Executive Director of the Institute of Court Manage- ment in Denver, Colorado, for four years. During that time he was also Professor of Judicial Administration at the Uni- versity of Denver. Other positions held by Friesen include Associate Deputy Attorney General for the U.S. Department of Justice and Staff Director of the American Bar Association's Joint Committee for the Effective Administration of Justice. From 1956 to 1958 he was a trial lawyer for the Tax Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. In addition to his administrative positions, Friesen has held numerous teaching positions in distinguished schools, including the Universities of Colorado and Cincinnati and the National College of the State Judiciary. He has co- authored a book, Managing the Courts, with E. and N. Gallas, 18 and has written numerous articles in legal and public admin- istration publications. President Newsom has high expectations for Dear Friesen. "From the moment we acquired the Beverly School of Law in March, 1974," he said, "we have been working on a program of expansion and improvement, in order to acquire American Bar Association accreditation. Dean Friesen has the ability to make this goal an early reality. He is a compul- sive achiever." Dean Friesen has already hired several professors to in- crease the full-time faculty at the School and has provided for a substantial increase in the size of the library. "I had heard of Beverly School of Law when I was in Denver," the Dean said of his appointment, "and I feel privileged to be associated with a school with such a fine reputation. I am pleased I will have the opportunity to con- tribute to its growth." Beverly School of Law was founded in 1966 by Beverly Rubens Gordon. Since then it has been distinguished both by the caliber of its faculty and the success of its graduates in passing the California State Bar examination. In July, 1975, 42 of a class of 46 passed on the first attempt, for a success rate of 91.3% —certainly at, or near, the top of all California law schools. The faculty has boasted such notables as Superior Court Judges Steven S. Weisman, Marvin Freeman, Kenneth Chantry, William Hogoboom, Alfred Margolis, Earl Riley, and the late Alfred McCourtney. The School's teaching staff has also featured numerous eminent attorneys and profes- sors, including Beverly Rubens Gordon herself. Dean Friesen, a 47-year-old father of four, replaces Superior judge Steven S. Weisman as Dean of the Whittier College Beverly School of Law. Judge Weisman has decided to devote his extra time to teaching rather than school admin- istration.
John A. FitzRandolph Joins Law School Faculty Dean Ernest C. Friesen recently appointed John A. Fitz- Randolph as a full-time faculty member of the Law School. "John," the Dean said when making the announcement, "has been active in legal education and California govern- ment, and his students will benefit greatly from his valuable experience in both theory and practice." FitzRandolph, who has B.S. andJ.D. degrees from USC, has taught courses in Legislation, State and Local Govern- ment, and Legal Writing for seven years at the University of the Pacific's McGeorge School of Law. His practical experi- ence has included serving as the Executive Assistant to U.S. Senator John Tunney and acting as Assistant to Assembly Speaker Robert Moretti, whose campaign he managed when the Speaker ran for Governor. As Staff Attorney of the California Constitution Revision Commission and Assistant Director of the State Department of Housing and Community Development, FitzRandolph was involved in researching, drafting and revising California statutes and constitutional articles. Gordon Schaber, Dean of the McGeorge School of Law, was instrumental in FitzRandolph's decision to join the Whittier College Beverly School of Law. "Gordon told me," FitzRandolph said, "that the School was one of the finest in the state of California and that it maintained the high academic standards I considered essential in any institution where I was to teach." 19 Sports—continued from page 17 after 19 years.
