The dawn of a new career ...I gaze out and find that I have a new world in front of me... My days in the world of seemingly eternal studies are numbered, but even though I seem to be at the end of my labors, my true time of learning is only now approaching. I have worked through a time of elementary education; I have worked through a time of secondary education; and I have bided my time well... “In this world we are ever learning, about people, places, events,” I tell myself... What is life? Where am I? I am in the center of a cyclorama, seeing that I have the world at my fingertips... all I need do is look, ask, wonder ... Then I shall find my reward for my labors. ...

Lawshe, Purdue University’s first Vice Presi- dent for Regional Campus Administration, whose foresight, industry and devotion to the principle of higher education for all the citizens of Indiana has contributed so greatly to the development of the regional campuses in general and the Calumet Campus in particular, this, the first issue of the Astron, is gratefully and respectfully dedicated. Hammond, Indiana May, 1967 A university is many things. An emerging institution such as Purdue Calumet already is a university in part; but it is also just beginning to take form and substance in part; and it is still just a dream or a vision in part. What it will become ultimately cannot now be known byt its destiny will be influenced, affected and directed by those of us now present. A dedicatory message for a first edition of a university annual is both a challenging and frightening task. Challenging it is because it is the opportunity to make a dedication of facilities, staff and students to the making of the Calumet Campus into a great university. Frightening it is because Some day in the future an archivist will seek out this first edition and will assess what all of us have done and appraise it as a puny dream or as tremendous or even understated reality. This book reflects the life and times of an institution about to grant its first bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Purdue Calumet offers a brief but rich heritage of technical education, community service and dedicated teaching. It is building most excellently in other areas of education that are components of the total university. As a branch of the State’s Land-Grant University, its dedication to community service is increasing as is reflected in operations such as the Urban Development Institute. In its faculty, emphasis on good teaching by highly qualified teachers continues and the numbers will grow t enfold over the years. Finally for a great university there must be students. They will be in growing numbers here. But more important than numbers are students who are scholars seeking more than grades and degrees and who contribute to the building of a great university by their scholarship in the classroom, by their mature support of the many things outside the classroom which go to make a university and eventually as prideful alumni aware of the part they have played in the building. Purdue Calumet is on the road to greatness. Isn’t it wonderful to have a part in the process?

More than 200 residents of northern Indiana and _ [Illinois received degrees or certificates at the first baccalaureate commencement of this Purdue Campus. Dr. Frederick L. Hovde, President of Purdue University, addressed the candidates by reviewing the birth and development of the Calumet Campus. He also paid tribute to the late E. D. Anderson, a Purdue engineering graduate who lived and worked in the Hammond area and served on Purdue’s Board of Trustees from 1951 to 1956. “What was done here could not have been done without his drive, vision and help,” stated Dr. Hovde. “Tf he could be here with us today, I am sure that it would be one of the proudest moments of his life of a service to the community in which he made his home.” After conferring the degrees, Dr. Hovde directed his remarks to the Class of 1967. He stressed that all men seek happiness and self-fulfillment during their lifetime and they can achieve such goals only by helping others. “There may be some people in this world who are completely selfish, thinking only of themselves, but they can’t possibly be happy and they don’t have any friends. The giving of your help and service to those with whom you live and work is the only way people can live together in this or any other society.” The graduates of Purdue University’s Calumet Campus have sought happiness at the Campus by helping others; it is assured they will be successful now that they have left.

All that the Piper opponents can do is to set back and watch Ken Goodwin drop two more points in to increase the score. Leading scorer for the Pipers, Lonnie Chase lays the ball up for two more points as he adds to his grand total of 630 points for the season. Danny Wright sinks two points which helped the Pipers torpedo the Great Lake cagemen by the score of 93-60. Despite the effort from an MIT player, Ken Goodwin comes down with the rebound.

They Swing a Big Stick Thus far the Pipers have accumulated a 2 win and 2 loss record. Because of the printing date of this book only part of the season can be accounted for. With a minimum amount of luck the Pipers can boast another one of their excellent sea- sons that they are noted for with the excep- tions of the last couple of years. Though the efforts of victory were in the hands of an un- experienced squad, Coach Robert Hayes feels that he has the making of another champion- ship team. Next year the Pipers will probably be among the area college leaders on the dia- mond, since most positions will be held by returning members of this season’s team. 66 Opening the Piper home the first home run of the season, season.

Rousing Cheers Were Their Specialty Prior to the start of all athletic encounters, PUCC cheerleaders were found greeting and making new friends with the opposing cheerleaders. The Purdue Calumet varsity cheerlead- ers under the direction of Mrs. Donna Ma roc staged many programs with the purpose of organizing school spirit and furnishing support for the basketball team. These programs included a_¥ successful homecoming event, pep sessions in the lounge, and a Christmas Invitational Tournament. The cheerleaders are an organization affiliated with Pi Sigma Kappa. Future plans for the girls include the purchase of new uniforms, fall try-outs, summer camp and a consulation trip to Lafeyette with Purdue’s downstate cheerleaders. oe Irene Sarivalas Cindy Sabilo Sandra Biederman Constructing the head of Piper Pete, and leading the student and faculty body in a pre-game pep assembly was all part of acting as a cheerleader.

Pipettes Intramural Champions The sporting event which has grown by leaps and bounds throughout the colleges and universities in the United States; is the sport of intramurals. Purdue Calumet is no exception to the interest of intramural sports. This year under the leadership of Coach Bob Hayes, PUCC began its third suc- cessful year of intramural basketball with many vast im- provements within the program. The sport of intramurals won’t remain just with the activity of basketball but plans are being proposed to further the program with other fields of sporting interests, 70 Pipettes The 69ers Baggers Paranoids Addicts Pipers Barons Commandos © Z, OF WP OOD © = © N NM oOmaonDa — W © Ist row—left to right: Ed Morley, Jim Pokrajac. 2nd row: Ron Beres, Andy Scianna, Bill Bouslog, Jerry Matlon.

P.U.C.C.'s CYCLORAMA OF ORGANIZATIONS HEMICAL The students in the American Chemical Society are intensely in- terested in the science of Chemis- try. Their meetings are devoted to lectures and discussions involving this most interesting field, and these students enjoy talking and debating the many subjects con- nected with it. Laboratory experience is also a part of the American Chemical So- ciety’s idea of “fun” at their meet- ings. Students concoct amazing mixtures and solutions, permeating the halls on the second floor with odors only these devoted people can stand (and sometimes enjoy!). Row one: Bob Sarber, Frank Penzato, Randy Porter, Bill Boberski. Row two: Milt Skopula, Louis Gerovac, Dan Fary. Row three: Barb Westberg, Jan Langan, Nancy Smith.

Newman Club One of the newest clubs at Pur- due Caiumet is the Catholic spon- sored Newman Club. It exists for the whole university community— students, faculty, administration and staff. It seeks to create a cli- mate for friendship and responsi- bility, for intellectual growth and maturity, for social action. These soals are sought because they are Christian and are desirable for the continued development of the uni- versity community. Club membership is ecumenical —Catholic, Protestant, Jew, every person of good will. Participation in Newman activities and use of the House, located at 7204 Ontario Street, 1s open to members and non-members alike. Cardinal John Henry Newman, the patron of the club, was an in- tellectual who was very much en- gaged in university development. Purdue Calumet’s Newman Club is trying to follow Cardinal Newman’s guidelines in promoting student- faculty relations, social affairs and conversation in a friendly atmo- sphere, and an increase in the in- tellectual excellence of the Univer- sity.

The club operates as an organiza- tion providing such services as a tea for incoming freshmen, dec- orating the lounge for Christmas, and ushering for the Buskin’s per- formances. Also, and of extra im- portance, they supply and finance our peppy and vigorous cheerlead- ers who keep alive spirit and en- thusiasm for our athletic teams at noon pep rallies and at the sports events.

Political Club Members David Brown, Alex Kaleta, Dave Kominiak (treasurer), and Maria J. Maruschak (secretary President Barry High and vice president Don Graegin are unpictured. The Purdue Calumet Political Club is not a particularly social one—it runs along more serious lines. These club members meet bi- monthly to exchange political ideas with other students and professors. The club’s main purpose has been to develop critical, objective think- ing and to discuss the _ political problems plaguing all phases of to- day’s government. Their meetings consist of a short talk given by a professor or some other guest speak- er on a topic relevent to today’s pol- itics, followed by an open discus- sion by members. Through the year they have great opportunity to learn, not only about politics and other people, but about themselves as well. roe EE 4 SS ABT $1 A FINE ARTS CLUB Dove Kominiak (treasurer),“Miss Sigrid Stark (sponsor), Maria Maruschak (president), David Brown (secretary). 82 The Gables Fine Arts Club is one of the most interesting on cam- pus. Their main objective is the stimulation of students toward areas of culture, such as art, litera- ture, and music, by means of tours, lectures, concerts, etc. The mem- bers thoroughly enjoyed such pro- grams as Dr. Fischer’s piano con- cert, Mr. Tobin’s talk on the Ku- baki Theater, and Mr. Tinkham’s reading of his own poetry. They also had, discussions, speakers, and a books and coffee session. The club even started the New Year off right—Chinese New Year, that is— with a: trip to Chinatown! Industrious Circle K member Kurt Herring works the night through to finish the club's Home- coming float. Kurt Herring, vice president, and Charles Walker, president, conduct a meeting at which one of the many dances sponsored by the organiza- tion are planned. Circle K, the campus activity for men sponsored by the Kiwanis, is one of Purdue’s finest examples of a service organization. Their main objective is to build character and leadership into their members to- day so that they will mature into good community leaders tomorrow. They aid both school and commu- nity by emphasizing the American way of life, by providing good fel- lowship, and by instilling worth- while ideas in their members. Among their many and varied ac- complishments for the year are winning second place for their float in the Hammond Christmas Parade (in conjunction with Purdue Calu- met’s first Homecoming), aiding the Hammond Kiwanis, sponsoring several dances including one with the Circle K from Indiana Uni- versity, and donating portable stag- ing to the school. Monday evenings found this fun- loving group of songsters (““No mu- sic without fun” is their motto) enthusiastically rehearsing their latest tunes led by conductor and sponsor, David Simpson. Purdue Music Organization brought their harmony in song to the students and the community at University sponsored activities. It was well worth missing lunch in order to hear the black and gold clad musicians in performance at their Christmas Convocation. Their talents and enjoyment were not strictly limited to learning and sing- ing good music, for they also took part in other school functions such as Honors Day and their display in the Homecoming Parade which won first place. The officers lending a helping hand to Mr. Simpson are president, Dennis Yellima; vice-president, Christine Brown; and _ treasurer, Karen Felker. Practice and determination as well as ability allowed P.M.O. to continue their ever-improving per- formances. Sometimes with piano accompaniment, often without, their melodious voices could bring laugh- ter of tears as the song and occa- sion demanded.

NATIONAL SOCIETY OF PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS FOUNDED 1934 John Waupsh, president, leads §.C.O.P.E. meeting. Interest runs high during well-attended meetings at which projects and activities are planned by a group of hard-working individuals. The Student Chapter of Profes- sional Engineers (SCOPE) is de- signed to inform the student of the engineer’s role in industry, econom- ics, and government. SCOPE tries to widen the student’s ‘‘scope” of the engineer’s job so he can more easily decide which field of engi- neering he wants to enter, or wheth- er he really wants engineering as a career. This year SCOPE gained much in the areas of membership and prestige, thereby becoming one of the most respected organizations at Purdue’s Calumet Campus. Because of the club’s close contact with in- dustry, SCOPE was able to arrange guided tours of Standard Oil, In- land Steel, Ford Motor Company, Argonne National Laboratories, and the I.B.M. Technical Center, all at no cost to members or in- terested faculty. During the pro- gram meetings, promising and prominent engineers share their ex- periences and explain exactly what we are to expect upon entering the profession, During the year, SCOPE members attend banquets where they “rub elbows” with their future counterparts, and through both se- mesters SCOPE provides PUCC with social events such as dances, hayrides, and sporting tournaments, among others. One of the most successful dances of the year was when SCOPE brought Clark Weber to the Cam- pus Armory and held an open dance. The attendance broke all records for dances held at the University. SCOPE hayrides were awaited with anxiety, and when the stu- dents finally reached the stables, they were not disappointed! Inter-Club Council An important subsidiary of the Student Congress, the Inter-Club Council worked to alleviate some of the burdens of the Congress. With four repre- sentatives from each organization to form the Council, they functioned throughout the year to cocrdinate the many and varied activities of all the clubs and to keep up the necessary morale among these organizations. Minutes taken by the secretary were used not only for their own meetings on Mondays, but also to keep the Student Congress up to date on their work. This persistent group added the production of our gala New Year’s Eve Party to their list of the year’s accomplishments. Row one: John Charles (Chuck) Hall, chairman; Jan Todd, secretary.

Student Congress is the back- bone of the student government, and in the past year has made great strides in the organization and management of all.the clubs and activities here on campus. During the fall semester, the Congress was headed by ‘Tom Carlin, a pre-med major. John Charles (Chuck) Hall was Tom’s able-bodied, right-hand man with the position of vice-president. The recording secretary was Nancy Smith, and she was always seen with either pen in hand or seated at a typewriter frantically attempt- ing to finish the minutes in time for the meetings. Filling the posi- tion of corresponding secretary was Marlene Gransinger, who saw to it that everyone was notified of all meeting times and places. The treasurer was John Janik who did a fine job of managing the books and monies for the Congress. The fall semester Cabinet and Congress incorporated many firsts into all the annual events. Nine- teen sixty-six, fall, saw the first an- nual Homecoming, the first edition of the ASTRON, the first Inter- Club Council, as well as the Hon- or’s Assembly, two Hootenannies, and all the normal campus activities. The Spring semester Cabinet was the same as that of the Fall se- mester except for the absence of Mr. Carlin, who decided to devote all of his time to school and his work. Chuck Hall was the new president, and taking his place as vice-president is freshman, Douglas Fix. To keep up the “first’’ activi- ties started during the Fall semes- ter, Mr. Hall initiated PUCC’s first Prom. The Activities Banquet and a book sale between semesters, both annual events, were held during his successful term of office. The treasurer of the Congress, John Janik, ponders the issues that arise at the Cabinet's meetings.

He’s worse than Atkins, 95 The Astron Staff Editor-in-Chief Karen Barnes did a little of every- thing on the Astron, from copy to photography! Managing Editor Tom Carlin took time out from his pre-med studies and Congressional duties to aid the Astron in starting its first year. John Janik, with helper Sandy Wilson, was Business Editor and Sales Manager. The 1967 Astron is the first yearbook from the Calumet Campus of Purdue University. As an innovation, it is unknown and poorly supported. The staff worked long and hard to publish the book and received little thanks. The feeling of a job well done and the smiles of those who look at the book and enjoy it, however, will be thanks enough to those who did so much for the 1967 Astron. 96 Neil McWilliams backed up the Photography Editor on the field and in the dark room. His aid was essential, and many of the pictures used were taken and or processed by him. Rob Mangus was the main sports photographer and gave up much of his free time to attend games for the yearbook, Photographer Norah Cheknis as she took one of the many Astron photos. Norah aided the year- book as long as her Drama Club presidential duties allowed her to. Photography came after the theatrical chores, but her pictures were in- valuable to the staff. 97 Ss 1.

U ‘e YCLORAMA OF oH oO ACTIVITIES Death of a Salesman Linda, portrayed by Pauline Frechette, listens as Willy, portrayed by Donn Jamison, tells of his failure in the past weeks and his black-outs as .he tried to start out again on his route. Willy, portrayed by Donn Jamison, drifts into the memory of his affair with the Woman, portrayed by Norah Cheknis. 102 The second offering of the Pur- due Theater Company’s season was Death of a Salesman. This Pultizer prize winning play was written by Arthur Miller. Opening on December 15, Mr. Maurice EK. Dixon directed Death of a Salesman, with Miss Lea Gil- man as his assistant. Mr. Roger Burch was the technical advisor and scene designer. Mr. Miller’s play concerns a mid- dle-aged salesman who slowly has been losing customers. As things get worse Willy Loman, portrayed by Donn Jamison, slips into and out of a fantasy world of the past. Ultimately Willy commits suicide believing that his family will be better off with the insurance money than with him alive. Willy’s wife Linda, portrayed by Pauline Frechette, attempts throughout the performance to keep Willy from losing his grasp on reality and committing suicide. Willy’s sons portrayed by An- drew Hiduke and Larry Mills only seem to hurt their father in their attempts to help him. In the end, the memory of Wil- ly’s brother Ben, portrayed by Gary Stanek, gives him the final psychological push to suicide. This brought to a close the Theater Company’s first semester of the season with Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and Wilder’s Our Town slated for next semester. The technical theatre attempts to teach those who do not wish to work onstage, but still have interest in the theatre, to perform all of the backstage operations that are nec- essary to professionally put on a show. The memb ers of the technical theatre read lighting sheets, change scenery, and take care of all spe- cial effects. The background gained from this experience helps future stage- hands and _ stage-managers learn some of the many tricks of the trade. It is said, the only way to learn is to work towards your goal; or, practice makes perfect. The technical theatre gives practical experience in reading lighting and special effect sheets.

Main characters Sherry Becich, Olivia's Gentle- woman; Paul Grummer, a priest; Marlene Gransinger, Olivia; and Larry Mills, Sir Andrew Aguecheek. Twelfth Night played by Gary Stanek, reads the “love letter’ he believes is from Olivia. Shakespeare’s memorable Twelfth Night was presented by the Purdue Calumet Theater Company as its first offering of the second semes- ter. Theater-goers viewed the per- formance on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, March 25, 26, and 27th. The plot revolves around the Duke Orsino’s attempt to win the hand of Olivia. Viola disguises herself as a man in order to serve Orsino and even- tually falls in love with him. While Viola carries messages to Olivia from Orsino, Olivia falls in love with Viola. Sebastian, Viola’s twin brother who was believed drowned, then enters the play. Much of the hilarity of the play is produced by Sir Toby Belch, Malvolio, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, and Fabian. Sir Toby and crew forge a letter from Olivia, making Malvolio believe that Olivia is in love with him. The play ends with Orsino mar- rying Viola, Sebastian marrying Olivia, Sir Toby marrying Maria, and everyone else living happily ever after, Cavalcade of festive Volkswagens represented the ARET Department in PUCC’s first Homecoming. Homecoming 66 Purdue Calumet’s first Home- coming Parade took place at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, December 3. The Parade took place in conjunction with the Downtown Hammond Christmas Parade. Floats were entered by Circle K, Newman Club, SCOPE, and the Theater Company. Pi Sigma Kappa, the cheerlead- ers, Gables, Architectural engineer- ing technology department, and the Purdue Music Organization entered cars. Homecoming Queen candidates Donna Cox, Nita Grish, Linda Polezynski, Pam Spero, and Sandy Wilson graced the Parade riding in open convertibles with their escorts. One of the main attractions of the Parade was the Golden Girl and Silver Twins along with the Purdue Drum on loan to us from the main campus in LaFayette. Newman Club was awarded first place in the float competition with Circle K second. PMO copped first place in car competition.

The game took place at the new Munster Fieldhouse as part of a double-header with the Munster High School varsity. Although cold weather kept at- tendance for the game down, spirit was high as the Pipers fought val- iently to win their Homecoming game. Half-time was a solemn af- fair because the team was behind. The final, heart-breaking score was Pipers 54, Knights 98. The star for the Pipers was Lonnie Chase who scored 26 of the 54 points.

Mr. Bas- ketball was chosen from Rex Bur- ton, Lonnie Chase, Randy Fergu- son, Frazier Hankins, and Herb Ware. The climax of the evening was the crowning of Pam Spero as Homecoming Queen by Mrs. Vern Corlin, and the presentation of the Mr. Basketball trophy to Herb Ware.

The festive evening started with dinner catered by Gene’s of Hammond. After dinner the guests retired to the middle-floor lounge for danc- ing to the melodious strains of the High-Tones. For those in possession of the proverbial “two left feet,” ping-pong tables, dart boards, and a game called ‘Twister’ were set up in the lower lounge. Snacks were available through- out the evening, and although the party was “dry,” the ARA pro- vided free soda for all those who wished to indulge.

Losing was bad enough, but the Freshmen were also given a mud bath by ‘those nasty Seniors! The all-seeing Kangaroo sits atop a _ famous beanie before passing judgement. The Fall Semester for the 1966 Freshmen was one of joy, sorrow, play, work, and unexpected events. Beanies were worn by all for the first six weeks of school so that the Freshmen were humbled, and Kangaroo Court made all those who thought of removing the ‘‘gold hat” think twice. No one wanted to roll pennies down the Lounge floor with their nose, or clean the cracks in the tile with a toothbrush. The most humiliating event, how- ever, was the tug-of-war. The poor Freshmen class lost against the larger, stronger, more skilled(?) upper-classmen, and were in fear of Kangaroo Court for another week. 119 Advertising Congratulations to the First Graduating Class of Purdue Calumet VIERK’S HESSVILLE FURNITURE, INC. 6727 Kennedy Avenue Hammond, Indiana HOOSIER STATE BANK of INDIANA Salutes the ASTRON upon its first PUBLICATION Free to all Purdue Calumet students, Replica Bank of the Boilermaker, when opening your college student checking account at any of seven convenient offices.

HAMMOND, INDIANA 845-3825 Purdue Calumet ends the 1966-1967 academic year proudly as it graduates its first class. The campus saw many firsts this year: the first Homecoming, the first yearbook, the first prom. It was a year of firsts, a year of beginnings. Yet for the first graduating class, it was an end to a college life. They said good-bye to Purdue Calumet, not for the summer, but for the rest of their lives. To these we of the Astron staff dedicate this first yearbook, and to these do we wish happiness and success because they were a part of Purdue Calumet; they were the first part of Purdue Calumet.
