Blackburn College - Beaver Tales Yearbook (Carlinville, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1969 volume:

BEAVER TALES Blackburn College oe Linville, Hinoi x x 2° OE Ww Universitas Blackburntana “The university is located at Carlinville, Macoupin County, Illinois, on the Chicago, Alton and St. Louis Railroad, fifty-nine miles north of St. Louis, in the midst of a beautiful and healthful country. The build- ings of the institution are surrounced by spacious grounds, including a beautiful park of native oaks.” Catalogue, 1869 The physical plant of Blackburn in 1869 consisted of one building, University Hall. Old Main, as it was called until it burned in 1927, housed the men’s resi- dence hall, a library of several hunzred volumes, offices and “recitation” rooms, and a cafeteria in the base- ment. Old Main was erected in two units. The first, begun in 1858, was built at a cost of $12,000. The second unit was begun in 1867. Blackburn has been a coeducational institution from its beginning. Women have been admitted to all courses and have been considered for the same degrees. A note of interest here is that, now as well as then, there are fewer women than men. Of the seven 1870 graduates, one was a woman — Orrie Dawes. Women were housed with private families in Carlinville. A Blackburn’s Faculty of 1870: Robert Minton, Math; John Conley, Science; John Soule, Latin and Greek; John Bai- ley, President, Hebrew and Theology. -[ special study room was provided in Old Main for the sole use of female students. This room was under the constant supervision of a teacher. “When they have completed their daily recitations, they return to their own rooms. By this arrangement parents are enabled to educate their sons and daughters at the same insti- tution, and secure for each the same means for the attainment of knowledge, mental discipline and cul- ture.” (Catalogue, 1869) Blackburn has always operated at a relatively low cost to the student. Hlowever, prices have increased over the years. In 1869, total costs to the student per year came to $150. Included in this sum were board, tuition, room-rent and fuel. In 1869 the college was operating on what we would call today a trimester plan. The fall term lasted sixteen weeks at a rate of nine dollars in tuition. The winter and spring terms were each eleven weeks in length at a rate of six dol- lars tuition. The rooms in Old Main were small, each heated by a coal-burning stove stoked by the occupant B.U. romance in the early Twentieth Century. at a cost of less than five cents a day. If only those first Blackburnians could see our central heating and carpeted floors! Academics were quite different in times past. A Blackburnian of 1869 might have been found cram- ming for a Greek or Hebrew final, or possibly boning up on his astronomy or geology. A preparatory school was available for the many students who had not had sufficient secondary school preparation. Admission to the college was based upon a preliminary academic examination. These tests were also used as an aid in placement of the students according to ability. The college curriculum was divided into two departments, the Collegiate and Theological Department an1 the Scientific Department. The enrollment of the Blackburn University in 1869 was 277. Over three-fourths of the students were from the Carlinville area. Modern B.U. has nearly Student workers on the roof of University Hall. reversed these statistics! Of the 277 students, eighty- eight were enrolled in the Collegiate-Theological De partment, while 189 were enrolled in the Scientific Department. The College provided its graduate with either a Bachler of Arts ora Bechelor of Science degree. The majority of the original graduates followed the theological course, seeking careers in the church min- istry. However, as was noted earlier, most of the 1869- 70 enrollment was in the Scientific Department. Wisdom and knowledge were imparted to the stu- dents through a four-member faculty. Dr. Bailey, who was also President of the College, taught Hebrew and theology. The other members were Professor Robert P. Minton, mathematics; Professor John D. Conley, the sciences; and Rev. John B. Soule, Latin and Greek. The faculty was assisted by student aides, much as we have faculty assistants today. Social life on the 1869 campus was very different from today’s activity. (Perhaps this was due in part to the policy of women spending the evenings in the +? “Merry Christmas from the Heart of the Hudson home to Yours” (1927). Homecoming at Blackburn. “I eo) Blackburn Players have a long history. security of their own rooms!) Nevertheless, an evening of considerable moment was one spent at a hayride or in serenading. Sports such as baseball and football also contributed to the social activity of the students. As was pointed out earlier, most of the graduates of 1870 went into the ministry. One, a Mr. McMil- lan, went to Utah as a missionary. Several others be- came parish ministers. How different this is from the many 1969 Blackburn grads who will go into the teaching profession, graduate study, further work in research, or even into business. Blackburn has changed a great deal since the days before cars, key privileges, and informal dances. The physical plant has increased many times over. Instead of one all-encompassing edifice, we now have seven- teen. The College has been a junior college, has added the work program, has changed back to a four-year school. We are now competing with other colleges in athletics. Work has been done on a student-faculty “The Campus” in the 1880's. Girls work, study, play. senate to act upon social regulations of the College. In spite of the metamorphosis, the basic aims of the institution and the calibre of its students have re- mained the same. The 1869-70 Catalogue puts it this way: “The end to be aimed at in this Institution is to produce from the pupils citizens, equipped for the highest duty to be laid upon them as soon as they shall assume the prerogatives of self-governing people; to lay a sound literary foundation in the minds of those who are aiming at the sacred duties of the Christian ministry or who may be called thereto—the main and ultimate purpose for which this Institution was founded; to inspire all with that promptness of action, love of liberty, soundness of moral principles and firmness of purpose, which, with resource of ac- quirements and aptness of application, shall fit them to ajorn their age and to bless the world.” Linda Stanley and Bob Lindahl 10 Chosen by the faculty to be the 1968-69 Student Marshall was Robert D. Hoffman, a senior from Chi- cago. The Student Marshall was chosen on the basis of good citizenship and participation in co-curricular activties. Bob represented the student body at all offi- cial college functions and led the senior class at graduation, The Senior Class President: Robert Stephen Lindahl, Economics Geneva Janitor Head, Senior Class President, Beaver Tales Co-Editor, Choir President, Economics Club Vice- President, Band.

The work committee had the additional problem this year of assigning one hundred more peo- ple to jobs without an increase in work facilities. Accordingly the work committee cut the amount of work time per person to thirteen hours, but it was soon determined that thirteen hours a week per stu- dent was not enough work time to perform the maxi- mum number of chores. During the second semester work hours were increased to fifteen per week, the same time allotted to each student during the 1967- 1968 academic year. This solved the biggest problem of our beleaguered and besieged work committee. Each spring candidates for the work committee are selected from student, faculty and administration nominations. A week-long work school culminates in a written exam after which each work committee member selects three students for tryout positions. Each of the three students chosen for a particular position is given a week in which to assume respon- sibility for that department. Following three try-out weeks, the retiring work committee members select the new committee. The 1968-69 men’s and women’s work managers were Chuck Flagg and Linda Stanley. They were responsible for assigning work schedules and serving on the Administrative Committee to the College. Ken Walker, as bookstore head, was responsible for both the bookstore and mailroom, Ken and the bookstore had a little trouble at the beginning of the fall semester when books needed for some classes did not arrive until well after classes started. However, after this small upset both the bookstore and mail- room ran smoothly. Assisting Ken were Paul Self and Donna Muschewsk e. Responsible for assigning desk workers and secre- taries to the faculty and administration was Pat Fried- line. Desk workers work on a rotation basis and secre- taries’ hours correspond only to the need of the faculty members. Assisting Pat in her duties were Carol Wil- liams, Kathy Soda, and Barbara Swanson. Val Lampe and her assistants Don Lampe, Bonnie Austin, Pat Hewing, Vicki Carlson, Sandy Grider, and John Cokinos coped with the problem of serving a student body much too large for the dining hall. Family style meals were done away with altogether in favor of the progressive family style. There was only one dress-up meal a week, and there were only ’ i 24 two meals on Sunday. Val and her assistants also organized and served special meals during the course of the school year. Ed Hodgson, in charge of the CHC Anderson Stu- dent Center, had a unique job this past year. Until the expansion of the Student Center was completed, Ed set up quarters in the old library of Hudson Hall. The Dewey Decimal Den functioned quite smoothly until the Student Center was completed. Assisting Ed were Dawn Styx, Jeff Hill, Ellen Cady, Maggie Stokes and Dorothy Shoemaker. Ed Dulaney, in charge of janitors, will ever be re- membered for his room vacuuming details and win- dow washing details. Each janitor assigned to men’s dormitories was allowed the freedom in choosing work hours. Assisting Ed were Curt Rutledge, Steve Beasley, Jack Munstedt and John Heriford. Sherry Larson, janitress, and her assistants Donna Johnston and Mary Iseman, were responsible for the cleaning and upkeep of the offices and women’s dorms. For Sherry, at least, business was picking up. Joan Day, laundry head, kept the clothes clean on campus despite the efforts of other work heads. Dry cleaning equipment was installed in the laundry room so that fewer people would have to rely on off- campus cleaners. Assisting Joan was Judy Briggs. Jan Klee, kitchen head, working with Mike Begole, Slater’s food representative at Blackburn, was respon- sible for all kitchen workers. Despite inadequate facili- ties, Jan did an admirable job in producing meals for six hundred students. Assisting Jan were Chris Hampshire, Sherry Haines, Denise Wright, Dennis Schell, and David Naas. Responsible for all kitchen mainteance was Craig Mekow. Under Craig’s direction, innumerable kitchen utensils have been washed and the kitchen kept in sparkling cleanliness. Assisting Cra ig were Bill Church, Jim Richards, Ron Nichols, and Sam Marshall. Ed Buchs had the responsibility of heading new construction and campus maintenance. Under the di- rection of Ed and Mr. Tayor, work continued on the offices of Lumpkin Library. The campus was kept neat and clean under the eyes of the maintenance crews. Assisting Ed were Rich Nolan, Don Pardue, John Coumbes, Ted Brown and Steve Oberman. Under the watchful eye of Miss Marion Carlson, Work Committee supervisor, nervous breakdowns and suicides were at a minimum. Solutions to problems were always near at hand.

Students’ rights, which appears to be a major topic of concern on every campus, provided the drive behind much of the Council’s activities this year. A great deal of work went into the setting up of a Judicial Board, having jurisdiction in the area of social regulations on campus. A Student-Faculty Sen- ate, to review all proposed changes in social, motor vehicle, and house council regulations, was formed to increase and facilitate communication between students and other members of the college community. Many other issues are currently under consideration in the Council. Among these are a Student-Faculty Conduct Board to replace the Student Status Com- mittee, and an all-College Council in conjunction with President McConagha, to bring together all fac- tions of the college for discussion of issues. Other matters under consideration include inter-dorm visita- tion, the banning of women’s hours, free use of cars, a student security force, a system of faculty evaluation and a pass fail system on a limited scale. A dance, featuring the Far Cryse, was held to raise money for a big-name group on campus this year. As a result of a demonstration at the beginning of the year, a Book- store Board of Governors was formed to review the purchasing of books and operation of the bookstore. Mr. Graham and Mrs. Zimmermann served as ad- visors to the Council. Officers were Mike Marsh, president; Tom Heinz, vice-president, Mike Boer, treasurer; Michelle Molnaire, recording secretary; and Peg McGurk, corresponding secretary. Other members included Joe Bartelheim, Wayne Joplin, Penny Mart- elet, Bobby Joe Mason, Paul Self, and Julie Wills. 29 Religious Life Cabinet The Religious Life Cabinet is the religious and fellowship oriented organization on campus. Directed by co-chairmen Denny Schell and Linda Tarr, RLC is responsible for such programs on campus as the Big Brother-Big Sister program, worship and ‘Time Out services, Campus Chest, Blood Bank, and Parents’ Weekend. New students were welcomed on campus and in- troduced to their Big Brothers and Big Sisters by Farouk Bitar and Carolyn Kessinger. A mixer helped the frosh to get acquainted and a Big Brother-Big Sister banquet and dance climaxed the activities. Julie Howell and Paul Fitzgerald, worship co- chairmen, were responsible not only for Time Out, x x 3 : x 3] 1S) i) a weekly student led devotional service, but also for many of the evening Vesper services. Many guest speakers have appeared at the Sunday Vesper services, in addition to our own Mr. King. This year’s Campus Chest drive provided money for the World University Service and other charitable causes. The outstanding booth of the Penny Carnival gave each student a chance to dunk his Work Head in a trough of water merely by hitting a target with a baseball. Co-chairmen of the faculty auction and Penny Carnival were Barb Oakes and Rich Nolan. The Blood Bank, organized by Dracula, Jean Min- ter and Steve Beasley, did a great job of collecting blood from the student body for use in area hospitals. RLC Parents’ Weekend Ann Bush and Jeff Hill were in charge of Parents’ Weekend. A talent show, special Sunday buffet, and the Spring Concert helped to make this weekend more enjoyable for both parents and students. RLC events were publicized throughout the year by Barb Lehman and Jim Poch. Ellen Witte served as the Cabinet’s secretary-treas- urer; Sam Velez served as altar chairman. Mr. King and Mr. Otto served as co-advisors. Social Committee The committee’s greatest change in social activities on campus this year was an increase in informal dances. Informals included record dances, juke box nights, and music provided by several modern rock groups. One of the highlights of the fall semester was the annual Sadie Hawkins Day. Gals were given the opportunity to chase, capture and marry the guys of their choice in the traditional Dogpatch style. Halloween was cele- brated with a comedy-chiller film, The Raven. ‘The committee also was responsible for the planning of several pep rallys, the Homecoming and the Christmas dances, and several movies. Casino-a-Go-Go was one of the high points of the spring semester. Students had all the equipment of a Nevada gambling casino and tested their favor with Lady Luck. Co-chairmen of this year’s committee were Sue Green and Wayne Joplin. Jean Minter served as recording secretary and Ellen Witte was the corres- ponding secretary. Al Himstedt filled the position of treasurer. Mrs. Zimmermann aided the members in her capacity as advisor. Students danced to the music of the modern dance group, The Communion, at the Valentine Formal, “The Sweetheart Tree.” King and queen candidates were nominated by each dorm. The 1969 Valentine court included Marie Bukovsky, Sylvia Albertus, Jan Murrell, Ann Alexeyuk, Eileen Beaver and Sara Camp- bell, Rick Carlisle, Chester Brooke, Ray Auer, Ralph Jones, Dave Tucker and Jim Ross. Dr. and Mrs. McConagha crowned the king and queen, Ray Auer and Sylvia Albertus. 35 House Councils House councils for every dormitory consist of offi- cers and proctors elected. or appointed by their peers.

Added to their performance schedule, the choir sang at several of the Sunday evening Vesper services here on campus. Clubs, Organizations On the Blackburn campus there are various clubs and organizations in which students can participate. These organizations encompass interests from cooking to politics to community service to art. Several new organizations were formalized this year. Among them were the Auto Mechanics Club, the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, the Organization for Black Cul- tural Inclusion, Young Americans for Freedom, and the Young Democrats. The Student Christian Associa- tion changed its name to the Religious Life Cabinet. The Board of Control of the Bookstore and the Judi- cial Board were also established. 46 | The Art Club this year centered on discussions and films of artists and modern art. ‘The Home Economics Club presented programs of sewing and cooking — some appropriate to various holidays. ‘The Inter-Var- sity Christian Fellowship met each morning for a short period of worship. ‘he Young Republicans were again active in off-campus trips, as well as their programs on-campus.

Many enthusiastic and spirited fans were there to cheer for the Beavers in our soccer game against Greenville. Our team’s triumph won back for us the Blackburn-Greenville Soccer ‘Trophy. At half-time, Bonnie and her court, Sharon Haines, Donna Johnson, Pat Letkusky, and Dawn Styx were presented to the crowd. Recognition and awards for the dorm displays were also made at this time. Each dormitory created its own outdoor display this year. Challacombe Hall won the first place trophy in the contest, and Jewell Hall received the second place award for its display. For the alumni, the weekend also included a coffee hour, banquet and reception. Then. Saturday night in Dawes, the Charles Was- serman Orchestra provided the music for the final event, the Homecoming Dance. Public Events Blackburn’s public events program provides for ad- mission-free events for the entire student body. The Public Events Committee, chaired by Mr. Roy Graham, arranges for these various events. This year Black- burn was host to a wide range of celebrities. Marquis Childs, noted political columnist and veteran member of the Washington press corps, spoke at Blackburn a little more than a month before the 1968 national elections. His syndicated column, “Washington Calling,” appears in more than 150 newspapers. “Kid” Thomas Valentine and His Preservation Hall Jazz Band appeared in November of the fall semester. This group knows the early music of the fabled Storyville because they played it then, some fifty-five years ago. The National Shakespeare Company presented Othello in January of 1969. This company is widely acclaimed, and they presented a convincing portrayal of one of Shakespeare’s best known tragedies, featur- ing renowned Shakespearian actors in a full costumed and staged production. Tong Il Han, Korean pianist and winner of the 1965 International Leventritt Competition, appeared at Blackburn in April. Competition judges have agreed that Mr. Han has all the qualifications for an im- portant concert career, and he has confirmed their judgments in world-wide concert tours, in appearances with more than a dozen symphony orchestras, in numerous solo recitals, and in appearances on several television shows. ATHLETICS Soccer The Beavers soccer team are conference champs once again, Besides being undefeated in the conference, the hustling Beavers had an overall record of eight wins, three losses, and one tie. A lot of credit for the team’s success must go to the soccer coach, Mr. Mohacsy. His excellent coach- ing and aggressive workouts formed a team out of young men who had never played together before. Next year’s outlook is even brighter. This year’s schedule included such formidable op- ponents as Park College, Ottawa College, Harris, and SIU. The team was led by Doug Brooks, Stan Hit- man, Ray Auer, and Tom Beaver. The Beavers’ major scoring threat was provided by ‘Tom Beaver; he scored nineteen goals, an average of almost two goals per game. Mike Montani scored six goals, Doug Brooks and Bill Hense four apiece, and Rog Engelhardt and Stan Hitman two apiece. This year’s goal machine scored an average of three goals a game while allow- ing their opponents two goals.

The cagers won six of eight home games, due in part to the electrifying atmosphere and enthusiasm which reigned in Dawes on those nights. The last home game, against SIU of Edwardsville, proved the most thrilling game of the season. In a phenomenal comeback, the Beavers made up a 22-point deficit and went on to win 98 to 96. Freshman Greg Heinz captured high game honors for the season with 36 points against SIU. Senior Tom Reigel and sophomore Mike Selvo shared re- bounding honors, with 17 for one game. Heinz led the team in scoring, averaging 19 points a game; Reigel contributed 14 points per game. Seniors ‘Tom Reigel, Rich Robley, and Ron Bomke deserve special recognition for their consistent performances the past four years. Reigel ends this season as number one scorer in the history of B.U. basketball. The other members of the squad were Bill Church, Maury Hough, Mike Kaczmarz, Tom Margo, Jim Pound, Bill Rhoads, Frank Simpson, Dan Stauffer, Dave Weid, and Don Woelfel. Mr. William Cooper coached the Beavers. He was assisted by Mr. LaMar, who also coached the junior varsity team.

The team finished last in both the Greenville Invitational and the conference meets. Despite several losses, the team showed great im- provement, especially in the efforts of its most endur- able harrier, J. J. Koopman. With only two seniors leaving, Cliff Sieber and Jim Hammann, prospects for next year are promising. Other members of the team included Jim Oakes, Curt Rutledge, and Bruce Peder- son. 59 Tennis and Golf The 1968 tennis team had a record of no wins and six losses. The team lost to Principia and Westminster 7 to 0, and then lost to Greenville, Rose-Poly, and Illinois College 4 to 3.

They also provide an opportunity for competitive games. Miss Marion Carlson coaches all extra-mural teams. In basketball, Miss Carlson had an assistant coach, Diana Fuchs. 63 Intramurals Intramurals provide recreation and healthy athletic competition for all students who cannot participate in sports on the varsity level. Men and women _par- ticipate according to floors and fierce competition al- ways arises to accumulate the most points for the various events and sports during the year. Both in- dividual and team sports with A and B squads for men’s football, basketball, and volleyball provide op- portunities for each student to take part in his favor- ite recreation. 65 The Women’s I.M. Board, under the direction of Miss Carlson, organizes the women’s program, The Board consisted of Ellen Witte, Chairman, Ellen Cady, Cheryl Dunham, Diana Fuchs, Jan Hotze, Peg Kennedy, Linda Knight, Jan Kratochvil, Barb Laier, Linda Leavens, Diane Leisen, Candy Pappas, Mary Powell, and Denise Wright.

Co-ed volleyball this year was divided into two leagues. Mike Page’s team of the Bonnie league came in first, as did George Rottinghaus’ team of the Clydes league. In the play-off tournament between the all-stars, the Bonnies won. PEOPLE 70 Never was there more concern in America about our colleges than today. Historically, Blackburn has em- phasized the participation of all individuals in the college community. As we look to the decade ahead we must constantly search for new ways, not to deal necessarily with day by day matters but to plan to- gether for a healthy and productive future. As we look to the future we must also steadily insist that those things which have made the college what it is, close personal relationship, smallness, the work program, the emphasis upon the meaning of the President of the College Gienn L. McConacua Ph.D., Ohio State University liberal arts, and an economy in operation, shall remain. At the same time we must all recognize that a col- lege that stands still goes backward, that we are in an intensely competitive enterprise, and that our image as an institution is of extreme importance. Each one of us in our day by day activity portrays this image. It is our hope and our ultimate desire that this insti- tution can continue to move forward, to make a more worthwhile environment for those who are here now and for those who will come in future years.
