It is a mosaic of a persons relationships with himself and others; a mosaic of the special world of college students and of the emotions which characterize youth. All aspects of the 1967 Cobblestone reflect this changing mosaic of RPI; from the cover, throughout each page design, to the use of color, the Cobblestone has co-ordinated many aspects of design to form a harmo- nious pattern of pictures, color, and ideas. Richmond Professional Institute Richmond, Virginia We often remember those certain spark- ling moments, spe- cial times when everything seems to he going right, with nothing in sight to change it. The sud- den, unplanned trip over the weekend that turns out better than if we had planned it for months. Or just a quiet beer with friends who enjoy our company. These are the good times, the little inci- dents spliced into our everyday lives that make college itself an experience as well as an education. The moment is beautiful and we ' re happy. Laughter rings out and surrounds us with a wall that cnly sudden sadness can pierce. In our happiness we find humor in a thousand things. We giggle at the ridiculously sublime, and we smile the soft ever changing smile of one who is content. We find time to share a joke, to exchange a friendly greeting on the street, to make witty remarks in every class, which are unheard by any teacher. We also feel a special quiet joy in accomplishing things, at reaching certain goals which we have set for ourselves. k tt ' % ' %-% ' % 9 % t ■ f We cant always he happy. The events of our swift-moving world crowd down on us, pressures develop, and we are frustrated, moody, and angry. We become disgusted with the world, lonely when we are not understood, and edgy about our responsibilities. We holler loudest when we flunk a test we didn ' t study for, yet sit strangely silent in the solemn stillness of graduation. We reflect the confusion of our times. We are exposed to so many thoughts, opinions, and ac- tions. We sit, bored or sus- pended, watching in a class- ' room as a professor presents a special idea. We absorb it or ignore it, but its influence is felt in many ways. We are also influenced by the rules of others, for our life is dominated by these rules. We are open to all the shining suggestions or boring regulations of those who teach us; their impact is not lost upon us. • We can communicate. We laugh, talk, and listen to each other; our special friendship is a wealth of experiences, emotions, and dreams. Our companionship is more than just the se- curity of friendship; it is warm laughter, a feeling of under- standing, and a bright spot in an uneventful day. The angry, confused world pauses at the edge of the brightness of friend- ship and, looking into the circle of light, sees our relationship grow and widen. ■M ' M. kJ K v-- V fP . ] ri?

When in a group, our opin- ions and actions form the clear image that others have of us. When alone, our thoughts are just sil- houettes of our real feelings. They are vague wonderings and questionings as we study ourselves in secret and compare our inner picture of ourselves with those of others. But we can reach no understanding, because we are alone so seldom. 13  • ■• XnSXKMMM 1 We accomplish a lot. We strain muscles to hecom e athletes, we spend hours practicing guitars to please no one but ourselves, we curb tempers to make strong friendships, and learn to draw with our hands what we see with our eyes. We are filled with the sounds of success, the exhaustion of accomplishments, and the satisfaction of recognition. 15 We pause to look around, to look beyond what we are now— a freshman struggling from test to test, a sophomore who ' s suddenly found time to join every organization on campus, a junior who realizes he might make it after all, a senior who realizes his diploma will come within weeks of his draft notice— and we all find the greater part of our lives spread before us. We like the freedoms of adulthood. We ac- cept the symbols of our society; we drink, smoke, swear, make love, and yet, through it all we wonder where we are heading and why. Now our thoughts are filled with what we are to be. Features 18 Administration and Faculty 50 Sports 82 Organizations 98 Classes 156 17 J • « Student I.D.

The Game Is Hurry and Waif ' Enrollment Wearies Students and Faculty With Intricate System of Check And Doublecheck; Leaves Some Students In State of Shock Mass hysteria prevailed on the morning of September 15, 1966, as the natural disaster called registration struck. For two days students ran hurrying to get in line and wait and wait and wait. Most returning students were saved the agony of registration day by marvelous pre- registration, which was enacted last spring. However, the next week many dismayed students discovered that they were not properly registered or simply non-existent as far as their professors were concerned. Good old IBM had struck again. Then the hours and days of standing in long add drop lines began. Students congregated in small groups lick- ing their wounds and venting their wrath on the effi- cient machinery of today ' s world. Most felt that after coming through registration and add drop alive they could face anything the coming year might throw at them. 20 .?y- ' S ' atfffy; ' - ' ' .

They tried to be as unobtrusive as possible lest some Junior suddenly descend on them. Rat week, which had begun, was greatly subdued by a cold drizzle that persistently fell most of the week. The freshmen arrived at RPI a full week before most of the upperclassmen. Orientation week was hectic with meetings, assemblies, tests, and Registration. A whole new world was opened up for them. For many it was the first time away from home and parents. Oppor- tunity was shouting in every person ' s ear. Here was the chance many had been waiting for. Shy people could be bolder; over-bearing people, more bearable; weak people, stronger. The slate was wiped clean, and everybody was ready to go. There were many shocking realizations and surprises those first weeks. Mama ' s shoulder wasn ' t there to cry on when everything went wrong registration day . . .

Instead of having members of the administration and faculty speak as was done previously, the school is now bringing in noted personalities from outside the school. Among the most outstanding speakers were Peter Lisa- gor, chief of the Washington bureau of the Chicago Daily News, and Charles E. Moylan Jr., the state ' s attorney of Baltimore, Md. Mr. Lisagor spoke on the question, Are we winning in Viet Nam? He stated, The war is not going swimmingly well. Mistakes have been made and will be made, and it is a tough struggle. But there is nothing, that says we can ' t stay indefinitely or that we can ' t win. He concluded that the United States has much to learn from this fight. Mr. Moylan spoke on crime and race riots. All too often, he said, symptoms of the crime disease are treated and not the disease itself. Mr. Peter Lisagor speaks to RPI students on Vietnam.

Alumni Greeted This year ' s homecoming was held on October 21 and 22. It began on Friday evening with a con- cert of folk songs given by David, della Rosa and Brooks, which was followed by a cocktail party at the Sheraton Motor Inn. Saturday began early with breakfasts by the schools of Business and Distribution. At eleven o ' clock the alumni officially registered in the Rotunda and then went to the gym for lunch. The afternoon was filled by a meeting at which the new officers of the Alumni Association were elected and future plans for the Association were discussed. Dr. and Mrs. Oliver entertained the 1940-41-42 classes at a tea and some alumni displayed their art work in the gym. That evening a dinner and dance was held at the John Marshall Hotel. Sunday there was an art sale on Shafer Court by present members of the Fine Arts Department. New buildings going up and old buildings being renovated greeted former graduates of RPI. An extensive program of expansion and renewal was evident everywhere. The alumni could hardly speak of the good old days and good old RPI in view of all the changes. Dy a Changing R.P.L Old and new graduates find much in common. Alumni meet for a chat and refreshments in the Rotunda. Polka dots, vertical stripes, and African prints are a must for the new look in fashions. Changing Clothing Styles Introduced The class in Fashion Trends and Coordination this year presented a fashion show as its practical project. The thirty-two girls who comprised the class did all the jobs from writing the script to making the back drops. Each of the girls persuaded, cajoled, or threat- ened one of their friends to model in the show. Due to the bountiful array of beautiful clothes to be found on campus, the girls used their own clothes. The theme of the show centered around one designer ' s clothes for the new year. Designer Rene (portrayed by Sandra Nash) displayed a variety of fashions from country style, pants suits, sophisticated cocktail dresses, and mod fashions, too. Pants suits have become one of the most necessary articles in the college girl ' s wardrobe. Model shows the versatility of the pants suit. 30 A fur hat tied under the chin tops off a four-buttoned hound ' s tooth suit.

There was quite a collection of sculpture and carvings and jewelry was for sale, too! All in all it was a profitable day for RPI students. Student concentrates on displayed art.

Police during the 66-67 academic year. The college police, the only school department that operates on a 24 hour basis 265 days each year, are often called upon to provide information, assist the injured, transport the stranded, and help the distressed in addition to preventing and investigating crimes and offenses. Many times the facilities and abilities of the college police officer go unnoticed until he is called upon to provide a needed service to a student, faculty or staff member, or a campus visitor. No matter if fair weather or foul the campus cop is always available to be of help. Mr. Kleburg checks his gun to be ready for action at a moment ' s notice. Target practice keeps the aim of the security police accurate.

Dorm students were put on a new food plan this year. Instead of having meal tickets and paying for each meal, a block plan was used, whereby the food fee was paid along with the tuition. Students were employed in the cafeteria, thereby pro- viding more student aid. Mr. Monroe, Manager, initiated the formation of the Food Service Committee, which improved communica- tions between the students and the SAGA Food Service. At monthly meetings complaints were aired and solu- tions to problems discussed. SAGA has gone a long way toward improving the type and variety o f food presented for student consumption.

Pressures and Pleasures on Campus- End of Year Is Added Stepping Stone For Undergrads, While Seniors See Goal In Sight In May, freshman decided that a second year at RPI meant more to them than Viet Nam; sophomores reached the half-way mark; juniors looked forward to their final year; and seniors realized, perhaps for the first time, that they would soon be graduating and leaving a school that had become a home. There was so much to do and so little time left. They had to make last-minute degree checks, pay parking and library fines and infirmary bills; finish term papers, check out caps and gowns, send out announcements and collect names and addresses of friends who were part of college days that couldn ' t be forgotten. 48 ♦ ,♦ ♦.♦ ♦• ♦■♦•%•• The time has finally come to march down the aisle for the last time. Then Graduation There were placement opportunities to think over and summer jobs to apply for. Seniors were busy, but it was worth it all. The prized degrees they would soon hold in their hands were keys that could open the doors to limitless possibilities for brighter and better futures. Some would return for higher degrees and some would not. They faced graduation with mixed emotions: pride in a job completed to the best utilization of time and ability and perhaps also a slight pang of regret. 49 • ♦ •♦.-♦.♦•.•--♦ is§i| JifeJiBi i 5 $i - fEicultS • ♦ ?

Dr. Oliver began his career in 1919 as principal of the Stevensville High School, where some of his students were older than he was. He was later associated with the State Department of Education for several years before becoming Head of The Department of Education, Director of Extension, and Coordinator of Branch Activities at the College of William and Mary. He came to R.P.I, as Provost in 1959 and has served as President since 1960. Since Dr. Oliver assumed the Pre sidency, R.P.I, has made great advancements in all areas. The enrollment has more than doubled. In 1959, the day and evening school enrollment totaled 4,303. In September, 1966 it totaled 8,849. Projected plans estimate that by 1974 there will be 24,000 students enrolled at R.P.I. During his administration the value of the physical plant has increased five times over what it was when he came and the total income of this past year was seven times the amount received in 1959.

R.P.I, is projected to be a comprehensive university by 1980. George Oliver was born and raised in Berryville, Virginia. At the age of sixteen he entered the Uni- versity of Richmond. Two years later, he joined the army and became a Lieutenant and Field Artillery instructor. In 1923, he married Clara Ellen Bell. They have one son. Dr. George J. Oliver, Jr., Chief of Surgery at the Community Hospital in Williamsburg, Virginia. Dr. Oliver received his B.A. in English from the College of William and Mary and his M.A. and Ph.D. in Educa- tion from Columbia University. Dr. and Mrs. Oliver plan to retire to Williamsburg, where they have a small home. There Dr. Oliver will be able to devote more time to his hobbies of reading and, especially, fishing, and athletics, particularly baseball.

Sciences The School of Arts and Sciences, the youngest school at R.P.I. , consists of the departments of biology, chemistry, English, foreign lan- guages, history and political science, mathe- matics, physics, philosophy, and religion. All of these were first organized merely as service departments for the professional schools at R.P.I. Now baccalaureate degrees are offered in most of them. Students are prepared for graduate study in these disciplines and also for admission to professional schools of law, dentistry, medicine, pharmacy, physical ther- apy, medical technology, and the like. The chief purpose of training in the liberal arts and physical sciences, however, is simply to enable one to enjoy life by giving him further knowledge of himself, his fellowman, and the world around him.

The School offers degrees in Ac- counting, Business Education, Data Processing, Eco- nomics, General Business Administration, Business Management, and Secretarial Administration. It also offers graduate work leading to the Master of Science degree in Business Administration. As has been true of other schools at R.P.I., the school of Business has grown rapidly during the past four years. The student body has grown from approximately 400 to more than 1,000. The full-time faculty has increased from 15 to 29 during the same period. In addition, there are 9 part-time faculty employed in the School. The School ' s newest program is the Associate Degree in Data Processing, which was established in the cur- rent year. Demand for education in this field is ex- pected to increase very rapidly in the immediate future. The graduate program is the fastest-growing one in the School of Business at the present time. The graduate enrollment has grown from approximately a dozen four years ago to 140 this year. There are 26 full-time graduate students in attendance this semester. The remainder are working on the graduate degree on a part-time basis. Lee Hall demonstrates new facilities in Data Processing Room. Business students prepare work outside of class.

Burgart, Dean, School of Art School The School of Art of the Richmond Professional Institute had, as its beginning, a sculpture course offered in 1926. In 1928, a one-faculty Art Department was formed under the direction of Miss Teresa Pollak, and since that date has grown to its present organization, achiev- ing national recognition through its quality program in the visual arts. The School of Art offers a distinctly professional program in which students devote the greater portion of each day to studio courses in the arts. Located within an urban community of higher education, students are provided with both the advantages of comprehensive facilities as well as a professionally competent faculty. It is the only state supported professional school of art in the South and one of the few in the nation offering a professional art curriculum within a combined aca- demic professional environment. Pride is taken in the fact that graduates of these de- partments have earned an impressive list of honors, prizes, scholarships and fellowships through state and national competitions. School of Art graduates occupy responsible positions of leadership nationally and participate at the highest level throughout the art profession. Art Education class.

The School of Education, organized in 1964, provides professional preparation for students planning to teach in elementary and secondary public schools. Programs of teacher education combine comprehensive studies in general education with professional preparation and a concentration in one or more special fields of study. The School of Education has grown from fewer than 200 students in 1964 to over 800 students in 1966-67. Over 170 students will be graduated in all fields of education in June, 1967. The number of graduates should continue to rise each year. The development of a graduate pro- gram was undertaken in 1966. It is anticipated that a large number of teachers in the Richmond area will seek master ' s degrees at R.P.I, in the next several years. Current teacher education programs include the fol- l owing: Art, Business, Biology, Drama, English, History, Mathematics, Music, Physical Education, Distribution, Languages and Elementary Education.

School of Distribution The School of Distribution offers Bachelor of Science degree programs in Advertising, Distributive Educa- tion, and Retailing. It also gives an Associate of Science degree in Cooperative Distribution (a two-year work- study program). In addition, extensive non-credit offer- ings are made in a program of Adult Education for dis- tributive businesses. Distributive businesses are those engaged in finding customers for goods and services, and in moving goods, geographically and through the channels of trade. A graduate Masters of Mary L. Wellman, Chairman of Faculty Committee, School of Dis- tribution. Science degree in Distributive Education is also offered. One feature of each undergraduate degree program is that it requires a student to work in his respective field to obtain on-the-job experience as well as understand- ing of theory, as afforded through class participation. Another feature of all programs is the extensive use of visiting lecturers from businesses in Richmond. The close contact between those actively engaged in dis- tributive businesses and the students in classes en- riches the class work.

The School of Social Science really began in 1916, when Dr. Henry H.

The Department of Sociology and Social Wel- fare now has approximately 325 majors in Law Enforcement, Social Welfare, Sociology and Recreation. For the last four years more than eighty students have been graduated each June. In the Fall of 1966 a new graduate program leading to a Master ' s in Sociology was initiated and the Department received a grant from the Federal Office of Law En- forcement Assistance to develop an expanded program leading to the baccalaureate degree in Law Enforcement.

Two pro- ductions were staged in the Shafer Street Playhouse: J£. and Ten Little Indians. JB. proved so popular it was held over for an additional performance. The Department enrolled one hundred and ten majors, thus, making it the largest depart- ment of drama in the Commonwealth. 72 lI5ia ■ ■jiE, ' !. ' i- ' «■,; ' ;i.

The under- graduate departments allow concentration in preparation for further studies in clinical, educational, experimental, guidance, and industrial psychology. The graduate division of the Psychology de- partment offers a full Master of Science pro- gram in applied, clinical and counseling psy- chology. Richmond Professional Institute offers an excellent training for practical appli- cation of clinical psychology, including a one- year practicum to conclude the master ' s pro- gram.

Engineering courses include basics for mechanical, electrical, industrial, civil, aerospace, agricultural, ceramic, metals, and mining engineering. Architecture and architectural engineering, as well as building construction, are available under certain conditions. Students who wish to obtain a college educa- tion, as well as get experience in on-the-job- training , are able to do so under the Coopera- tive Plan. Students who decide to enter the Cooperative Program attend school three months and work three months, alternating the year through, and graduating in five years instead of the normal four.

School of Music The School of Music is unique in that it repre- sents the only Institution that offers the whole gamut of music degree through the Master ' s degrees in the State of Virginia. Over the span of 49 years of the school ' s existence, the student enrollment has more than doubled as well as its number of performing organiza- tions. The Choral Group is a constant per- former each season in the State of Virginia. A distinctive group called the Madrigalists has pleased audiences for 10 years, and is engaged for some 30 performances throughout each year. The symphony is the only fully instrumented college symphony in the State of Virginia and the Concert Band has been consistent in performing several concerts each year. The Woodwind Quintet and the Brass Ensemble continue to be recognized through- out the area. The faculty is constituted by a group of professional performers as well as dedicated teachers. Never a week goes by that the school isn ' t involved in some public activity. The school moves as well as learns — through moving, it learns.

The School of Social Work was established in 1917 and is the oldest school of its kind in the South. It was the original unit of R.P.I. It is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education, the authorized professional ac- crediting body for graduate social work education. The broad, general objective of the professional program is to help people achieve maximum satisfaction in social living. This means focus throughout the School program on helping students learn how to use themselves pro- fessionally in social work practice, through techniques and skills suffused with a breadth of knowledge of social, cultural, emotional and environmental factors that affect be- havior. Professionally educated social workers have been and will continue to be for many years in constant demand by employing agencies. Counseling interview. 76 ♦ ♦ . - . School of Rehabilitation Counseling Plans were developed in 1954 to provide gradu- ate level training for vocati onal rehabilitation counselors at the Richmond Professional In- stitute. These plans were accepted and the program of training was initiated in the fall of 1955. The School of Rehabilitation Counsel- ing at R.P.I, was the first graduate training program for rehabilitation counselors to be established in the United States under the provisions of public law 565. During the first year of the program nine students were enrolled. From the beginning of its establishment, the School of Rehabilitation Counseling has undergone continuous growth. This in part is due to the recognition and demonstration of graduates of this School, who are working in more than 30 states, na- tionally. This graduate training program has been recognized nationally as the unique accepted program for the training of Re- habilitation Counselors.

This reply is given many times during the year when the unbelieving student or local citizen first learns of the school ' s programs and community activities. But R.P.I, has no Hospital is the quick reply. As many other schools at R.P.I. , the Rich- mond metropolitan area provides the rich clinical resources for student experience which would not be available in a single institution. The programs provide opportunity for the high school graduate in nursing to secure the first two years of the basic baccalaureate program in nursing and for the Registered Nurse to broaden and deepen her skill and understanding of nursing care through en- richment of her educational background and experience in professional nursing practice. As coordinator of the program requests from the five hospital schools of nursing in the city, the school at R.P.I, provides for these students the opportunity for stronger founda- tions to the clinical portion of their hospital programs.

Evening College Offers The Evening College is an integral part of R.P.I. It is not a separate unit or extension unit, but it is a portion of a single educational organization where work begins at 8:00 a.m. and ends 10:30 p.m. In the fall of 1967 it had an enrollment of 3,706, plus more than two thousand day students who took one or more classes in the evening. The program in the Evening College is based on these priorities: (1) the need of the full-time student; (2) the need of the student who is trying to get a degree by attending Evening College; and (3) the need for con- tinuing education of adults. The evening scheduling of many courses is determined by the fact that many highly specialized instructors, required for courses in a professional school, can only be obtained during the evening hours. In an urban college the Evening College provides a two- way link with the community. The day student often gains from his association with adults who have re- turned to increase their educations, and the adults themselves seem to value and enjoy the opportunity to associate and exchange ideas with younger students who are attending the College full-time.

In the spring of 1966, a former college oarsman among the faculty showed a small group of curious students a motion picture of the racing crew of a large eastern university. By fall, a group of students were working hard to rebuild a long-unused boathouse, a badly dam- aged eight-oared shell, and refmishing oars loaned to them by a once-active amateur rowing club. In Decem- ber, a used but reconditioned shell was purchased with funds contributed by the Students Activities Committee and arrived on a trailer to be displayed in Shafer Court. At the start of the Spring Term, repairs to the borrowed- oared shell were nearing completion. Construction of a flat-bottomed training barge by a local boat builder had been authorized and begun. At this stage, the crew lacks someone to operate the motor of the coaching boat and a contest for a student to serve as Manager has brought little response. Lack- ing money for new oars, the Crew hopes that none of the oars they have borrowed will hit a submerged log. To prepare for the first race, Coach Bowles plans for the oarsmen to be on the water during the week of Feb. 27, and with hope born of optimism that the crew will develop quickly enough to face competition this spring, races were scheduled as follows: March 25 — American University of Notre Dame at Washington, D.C. April 16 — East Carolina College at Richmond April 22 — East Carolina College at Greenville, N.C. April 29 — George Washington University at Washing- ton, D.C.

Hockey was first introduced at R.P.I, in 1924 and also discontinued in the same year. It was resumed in 1930 and reached its peak in 1947, when the squad went unde- feated under the coaching of Constance Apple- bee. Since 1953, there has been no hockey played at R.P.I, until this year. Mrs. Royster stated that even though the team had a losing sea- son, they showed real promise for a winning season next vear.

Wesleyan, Newport News Appren- tice, Southeastern University, Hampden-Sydney and a surprising second place finish in the Fort Lee Invita- tional Tournament. However, this fast start by the Rams was only a prelude to a string of consecutive losses to supposedly weaker teams. As the season progressed R.P.I, showed signs of great- ness and mediocracy. The Rams ' momentum was always under par because no consistency could be developed. Consequently, the season ended with the Rams ' winning a game then losing one, and R.P.I, stayed around the 500 mark. Individual brightness was shown throughout the season by Len Creech. His accomplishments went something like this: he broke the 1,000 point barrier, he was third in the state in scoring, and won the MVP award in the Southeastern Tournament. Don Bones Gordon, freshman, was second highest scorer. Therefore, all was not completely dark for the Rams. What might prove shocking is that this season was picked to be R.P.I. ' s best year, with three freshmen, two sophomores, three juniors and two seniors com- posing the squad. Consequently, with this kind of material coming back, and with this year ' s experiences, the forecast can only be bright for R.P.I. ' s Rambling Rams. First row: Len Creech, C. G. Winston.

It is still too early to tell whether or not these changes are for the good. Reid Cornwell, the Speaker of the House, resigned at the beginning of the second semester. He was replaced by Mark Auman. It has been decided that the Constitution will be revised. There is confusion surrounding this issue because no one is quite sure to whom this should be assigned. Hopefully, the final anal- ysis will bring a student government effec- tively governed by the students themselves.

The Court ' s First official function was the orientation of new students to the Code. A discussion period was included to give the students an oppor- tunity to ask any questions about the Honor Code and Court. This was also done at mid- year orientation for freshmen and transfers. Not only has the Court served as the judiciary body of the Honor System, but it has also tried to discern the needs of the students. Weekly meetings were open to SGA members and Proscript reporters to promote better relations with the student body. The Court has been the subject of much dis- cussion. Its achievements have been (1) up- dating Honor Code material for students, (2) obtaining larger and more adequate meet- ing facilities, (3) articles and letters-to-the- editor of the Proscript, and (4) the discontinua- tion of wearing robes during Honor trials. The major project of the Court was Honor Code Week which was planned to increase student and faculty interest in the Honor System. Dean MacDougall discusses a case with members of the Honor Court.

Hordes of students, mostly under- classmen, came and seemed enthusiastic and ready to work. However, as soon as the work started coming in, everybody quit. It did not seem to matter whether they were typists or section editors, they all suddenly became too busy to help for one hour a week. By Christmas, the staff was reduced to a meager few, but the real blow came after the holidays when the staff, unbelievably, became even smaller. Repeated requests by loyal staff members to their friends and notices in the Proscript brought no response. Sorry, but they were just too busy (to care). As a result, the remaining staff members often had to work every night of the week, as well as weekends, instead of the normal one or two nights a week. Well, we finished it and met the deadline. It ' s here and we are glad. As a matter of fact, we are proud, because we did it in spite of all the obstacles placed in our way. Editor Howard C.

Sgg g Prescript Circulation Increases to The Postscript is a departmental training project for Journalism majors at R.P.I. While providing a training ground for these students, it also serves the entire student body as a weekly campus news media. During the 1966-67 academic year, the paper made several significant improvements and showed signs of growth comparable to that of the college. The size of the paper itself increased from the standard four pages of the past, with an occasional eight, to a weekly eight-page format. Circulation increased from about 1,000 to 4,500. The paper also increased the size of its editorial staff. In addition to an editor, managing editor, news editor and photographer, the staff also included a second news editor, a night managing editor, two associate editors and a copy editing staff. However, improvement alone is not enough. We still have a long way to go, but we are making progi;ess. Sometimes, when we struggled to make our deadlines in the early hours of the morning, we wondered if it is worth it. It was, and is! For the past decade the Postscript has come out every Friday and for sheer consistency few other campus publications can match this for sticking to publication deadlines. From our windows high in the Administration Building, we have quite a view of the campus. From here, it looks good. Horton Beirne focuses his camera on a good shot for the next edition.

Spectrum Slams Student Apathy Spectrum is a student publication that endeavors to publish a representative cross-section of college produced literature. This literature includes short stories, essays, plays, poems and criticisms. In its short existence, the magazine has printed some excellent pieces of student work, and will continue to solicit the best of the college ' s literary output. In attempting to gain a foot-hold on the campus. Spectrum has encountered several problems. These include an inadequate staff, inadequate facilities, lack of funds, and the general disinterest of the student body. Nevertheless, the staff has enjoyed giving the school a much needed vehicle for its literary works. The long range goals of the Spectrum are to establish a magazine with a sound tradition of representing the students and their abilities. A strong publication with the support of the college is the ultimate goal. t • % ' ii : ' -i i-i:2r i ' ' - AID Stresses Knowledge Through Travel The American Institute of Interior Designers, founded in 1960, meets monthly for business followed by varied programs of interest to interior design students, includ- ing one dinner meeting with the Virginia Chapter of the AID.

It also made donations to the Christ- mas Mother Fund and adopted a needy family. In the spring a banquet and picnic were held for club members. Psychology Club Established Psi Chi, the National Honor Society in Psychology, is an affiliate of the American Psychological Association and the Association of College Honor Societies. Its purpose is to advance the science of psychology; and to encourage, stimulate, and maintain scholarship of the individual members in all fields, particularly in psychology. To be eligible for membership undergraduates must rank not lower than the highest 35% of their class in general scholarship and must have demonstrated superior scholarship in psychology. For graduate students, an average of B or better in all graduate courses is required. This year Psi Chi established a psychology club, in December, which offers membership to any student interested in psychology. It also sponsored a film workshop attended by some 200 area psychologists. At each months meeting noteworthy speakers pre- sented viewpoints and information on industrial, clinical, counseling, and educational psychology.

It is composed of all interested business students, male or female. The elected officers are there to help the fraternity along, but the other members must help also in order to keep it growing. Without the help of their capable sponsor, Dr. Woodie Tucker, Phi Beta Lambda would surely find it hard to keep on its feet. Phi Beta Lambda has two meetings every month. One is a business meeting, where business concerning the activities of the fraternity is discussed. At the other meeting, there is a guest speaker. The guest speaker is usually someone who is connected with the outside business world. Besides participating in social events, such as a picnic, a hayride, a Christmas dance, and a beach party, the members work hard all year so they will be able to compete in the state and national conventions. The members compete against other schools in such contests as Parliamentary Procedure, Extemporaneous Speak- ing, Vocabulary Relay, and many more. This year the state convention is at Natural Bridge and the national convention is at San Francisco, California. Members show awards won at the National Convention.

C-Quo began in 1964 with a group of girls who felt a need for a woman ' s organization at R.P.I. Since the beginning of six girls C-Quo has at present twenty-nine members. The club ushered for convocations and the Governor ' s Lecture which was a great honor. The major project for the fall semester was the Premiere Performance of Dr. Zhivago. From this the club was able to send items to Viet Nam and to help underprivileged chil- dren. At Christmas the girls worked at repair- ing toys for the Bethleham Center. By the end of the year they completed a Fashion Show, Care drive, ushering and other service functions. They also had fun in the annual football game with Circle K and a beach party in the spring.

Circle K Helps Make Crew a Reality Ending the 1966 year by sweeping the Capital District Circle K Convention (including Maryland, Delaware, the District of Columbia, and Virginia) of nearly every possible award, the R.P.I. Circle K Club lost no time in planning for the coming year of service. At the concluding meeting of last year, the club finan- cially adopted a Korean War orphan, who has been cor- responding with the club throughout the year. During the summer recess, members designed and had printed 2,000 of the campus ' first Student Activities Calendar. The biggest job the club undertook was the establish- ment of a Varsity Crew Team. Lending hundreds of man hours of work towards the goal of putting a team on the water by early Spring. Circle K members ' enthusiasm also extended to inter- club football games, helping with Orientation Week, sponsoring dances, a blood drive, working with under- privileged children, publicizing the basketball games, and unusual capers for the May Carnival. ' • • German Club Sponsors Activities The German Club ' s active year included spon- soring several dances, present ing the Open- ings Concert with the Tobaccoland Chorus, a football game with Circle K, and several fund raising projects. The club decorated the Christmas tree in the Student Center with the Cotillion Club and played the girls in a football game that was climaxed with a picnic. Highlights of the German Club year were a trip to Charlottesville for the U. Va.-VPI football game, a dinner dance at the Sheraton Motor Inn at which time new members were recognized and a sweetheart was crowned, a beach party at Nags Head, a club picnic, and a theater party at the Virginia Museum.

' ♦ • Pi Sigma Epsilon Members Gain Insight Pi Sigma Epsilon is basically an undergraduate Inter- national Professional Fraternity in marketing and selling. It is open to all students that may have market- ing and or selling as a direct or indirect goal. This takes into consideration: Advertising, Retailing and Business majors — to name just a few. Pi Sigma Epsilon has long reaching goals and effects which can definitely benefit the qualified student at Richmond Professional Institute. When Pi Sigma Epsilon was first conceived, its plan and structure was submitted to outstanding educators and top marketing and sales executives. They were invited to analyze, criticize and tear the plan to pieces if it did not have a real foundation and useful purpose. Quite the contrary — they came roaring back — not only endorsing, but indicating that they wanted to have an active part in its development. As a result there are hundreds of outstanding educators and professional members across the nation. The list would make a Who ' s Who in marketing and selling. This outstanding group of people help to give the men of Pi Sigma Epsilon the insight needed to transform college students into successful executives.

Chapter of National DECA has been organized at R.P.I, for three years. In this short period of time the club has had one of its members as DECA ' s National President. Also, last year one of its members took the top award at the National level on the Management Decision-Making Project. Three members of the Chapter were awarded $1500 in scholar- ships from Virginia State DECA for the school year. This year the Club proposed a new post- secondary organization participated in the local and state high school DECA as guest speakers and advisors. Membership in DECA is open to Cooperative Distribution students in the school of Distri- bution. DECA activities serves as the corner stone for successful careers in advertising, retailing, DE and other areas of management in the field of Distribution. DECA membership is open to students in the fields of advertising, retailing, and distributive education. Young Republicans Support GOP The Young Republican Club is organized to further the principles of the conservative political philosophy and inspire interest among the students in the great political issues of the day. In addition, the club partici- pates in local campaigns to elect Republicans to office. As a fall project the group cam- paigned for congressional seats for their party as Republicans picked up two seats in Virginia and forty-seven nation wide. Yearly projects included a Shenandoah Valley Conference at Natural Bridge, Young Repub- licans Weekend at Bryce Mountain, Region LII Convention at Washington D. C, Leadership Training School also at Washington, and a Young Republicans State Convention at Harrisonburg.

Theatre Club Sponsors Harvest Ball Queen The Theatre Club is open to any R.P.I, student with an interest in the theatre. The Club spon- sors a scholarship show to raise money for a Drama Scholarship. A Winter Carnival was this year ' s scholarship show. Club pens were ordered for the first time. Their activities included a department Christ- mas party, theatre trips to near-by theatres, an awards banquet; selling cokes at the major productions, and sponsored the Harvest Ball Queen, Beatrice Wynn. Theater Associates includes a varied and interesting assortment of people. 135 ♦ ■ • • Unity Stressed by Religious Groups Religious groups of R.P.I, have joined together this year in an ecumenical drive for Christian unity through uni- versal fellowship. Meeting together are the Wesley Foundation (Methodists), the Canterbury Club (Episco- pal), and the Westminster Club, along with corres- ponding groups from M.C.V. Together they have established and operated the Cross- roads Coffee House, held several meetings with inter- national exchange students in the Richmond area, offered opportunities for weekend retreats in the country and various statewide conferences and seminars with students from all the colleges in Virginia. Meeting each Sunday evening at the Crossroads Coffee House at 1205 W. Franklin, their programs have ranged from playboy philosophy to discussions on the Greek Orthodox Church. Any denomination is welcome to join in their ecu- menical effort toward Christian unity to offer the college students of Richmond the fellowship and development which is so much a part of a student ' s life. BSU Center Offers Relaxation The Baptist Student Union is an extension of the Church on the college campus. The purpose of this stu- dent-led ministry and organization is to enable students to accept their Christian responsibility of disciplining their minds in search for Truth in all areas of life. It further strives to enable students to live lives committed under God and in service of others. The Baptist Student Center facilities at 1000-1002 Floyd Avenue are furnished jointly by the Richmond Baptist Association and the Virginia Department of Student Work. There are multiple opportunities for students such as: piano, TV, stereo, Drink machine, fully equipped kitchen, ping pong, study room, etc. The Center is used by both resident and commuter students for study and relaxation as well as more serious involve- ment in program meetings, conferences, study groups, and service projects. The BSU seeks through its director and student organi- zation a program of activities and building to provide an effective Christian ministry to the R.P.I, campus. mi m -T , Hillel Promotes Group Activities Hillel, the Jewish organization on campus, is led by Rabbi Raymond Krinsky who devotes a great deal of time and spirit to Hillel in the Richmond area. The club provides Jewish students with a well-rounded program so that they may further search their religious and social identity. The 1966-67 school year has been extremely fruitful for R.P.I. ' s Hillel Foundation. At the beginning of the year an orientation program was held for sixty freshmen and the Jewish role on campus was discussed. Through- out the year, Hillel held bi-monthly dinner meetings featuring speakers, discussions, and films; brunches with special programs, and a number of successful mixers with other Jewish students from M.C.V. and the University of Richmond. One of the highlights of the year was a Chanuka party where folk singers performed, potato pancakes were served, and everyone enjoyed themselves. The last mixer of the year was held at Temple Beth-El. From this short description, it ' s easy to surmise that those Jewish students who fail to join Hillel are missing more than they realize. Newman Club Features Guest Speakers The Newman Apostolate is the Catholic Church club on campus. Through the Apostolate the student meets other Catholic students and is given a chance to serve God. To serve the community, to assist the Church and the campus, and to expose the student to spiritual, as well as social activities, are a few of the goals of the Apostolate. Among the services performed this year by the Aposto- late, were tutoring and coaching at Grace House and Bethany House (homes for underprivileged children). Besides tutoring, some students adopted little brothers and sisters from these homes. A book drive for a missionary in Africa was also conducted. On the social side, the Apostolate ' s main adventure was an over night outing to Cacapon State Park, in Berkley, West Virginia. Other social activities included a Paschal meal in conjunction with the University of Richmond ' s Newman Apostolate, and a tour of Temple Beth Ahaba, and a banquet at the end of the year. Vice Mayor Mundel, who spoke on the Negro ' s opportunity in Richmond, led the list of guest speakers for the Apostolate. Mrs. Robert Habenicht, the wife of a city council member also addressed the club. 137 •■ ♦• •♦• •• R.P.I. Order of Technicians The Order of Technicians was founded in 1964. The aims of the Order are to encourage fellowship and to promote professionalism among the students of the School of Engineering Technology. A further goal of the Order is to attempt to convey to the public and industry what the classification of Technician means and what the value of college trained technicians is to the community. Members are urged to join technical societies after they finish school to further enhance their technical knowledge. The main activity of the Order this year has been cen- tered around the designing of a pin for the Order. The Design Committee worked with a representative of the pin manufacturer and presented a modified sample drawing to be approved by all the members. The last activity of the year was a dinner at which awards for achievement and scholarship were presented. Meetings are held at least once a month. The officers of the organization are chosen from representatives from the Executive Committee, which in turn are elected individually from the five different programs offered in Technology; namely, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Technology, Civil and Highway Tech- nology, Drafting and Design Technology, Electrical- Electronics Technology and Electrical-Electronics Drafting Technology. These programs offer an Asso- ciate Degree after two years of study. 138  ■••••♦ •♦ • mmmmtarwirirM Mt Interdorm Council, Voice of Dorm Students The Women ' s Interdormitory Council was completely reorganized this year. Instead of having only one large body to do all the work, the council was divided into three committees. The Residence Hall Life Committee, presided over by Interdorm ' s president, Sally Claycomb, rewrote the women ' s section of the Signpost, made another hand- book for women students only and dealt with any prob- lems concerning rules in the dorms. Robin Morris, first vice president, was chairman of the Judiciary Board, which heard and tried all infractions of the rules by women students. The Program Com- mittee, lead by Lee Coffman, second vice president, sponsored programs to encourage students to take an interest in other things besides their studies and boys. The programs included films, card parties and art shows. Men ' s Interdormitory Council was created this year as the counter part to Women ' s Interdorm. This was the first year the men ' s dorms were united in any way. The presidents of all the men ' s dorms met each month to discuss solutions to common problems and to sponsor Programs of interest, which included films and guest speakers.

The girls pitched in, however, and soon the scars were covered by pictures and other ingenious decorations. At Halloween a giant pumpkin glared down on passersby from their windows. At Christ- mas the building was aglow with lights and decorations. All the girls work hard to make theirs an attractive dorm.

This dormitory houses sixty-five girls who participate in many helpful activities during the year. The girls collect various goods for an unwed mother ' s home as a Christmas project. In the spring they assemble baskets of food for needy persons; as an Easter project they prepare Easter baskets for unfortunate children. What better way to spend a year than in service for others? Well, the girls at Chalkley have become known for their helpfulness to people both on and off campus. Judy Thomason tries a new hairdo. Front: Connie White.

Meredith House seems to personify all the warmth and friendliness that is attributed to Virginia hospitality. Even before the school year starts, Meredith House is at work. Big sisters get in touch with the incoming freshmen girls during the summer and greet them upon their arrival. One of the first events of the dorm is Peanut Week. This gives the girls an opportunity to celebrate Halloween through a secret pal syndicate. There is a Christmas party and everyone decorates their rooms in accordance with the holiday. In the spring the girls look forward to their annual cookout. All in all it is an eventful year for the girls at Meredith from the pre- school season to the fond memories after all is done.

Each year, the dormitory is besieged and doomed by the mysterious antics of the Phantom . True, the L men have their fun, but they also have their serious moments. Lafayette entered teams in all intra- mural activities, gave the first dormitory sponsored dance of the year, held a Christmas party, open house, and contributed much work in forming the men ' s first Inter- dorm Council.

Yg fi . i . .« — 913 Houses Twenty-Seven 913 Floyd Avenue, once a magnificent Victorian home, now serves as a refuge for twenty-seven young men attending R.P.I. This building which had long ago been a place of dignity and tranquility, is now a recreation hall for shaving cream battles and pillow fights. There are constant fights between the business majors and the art students. The engineering and education majors study most of the time, leaving their weekends free to go to the Roost and Andy ' s. The drama students are rarely seen due to rehearsals; but when they are in the dorm, they can be heard from the front door to the back room on the third floor. Despite all this, the boys get along fairly well except for the few times when there are twenty-seven quarters, and no one with change for the soda machine. A small problem also arises when it rains, and there are only twelve umbrellas to be shared among twenty-seven boys.

Cobblestone photographers, Jim Sanders and Ray Verbit, pop up in the most unexpected places. The Cobblestone Photographers The pictures you have admired in this book were taken by ace cameramen, Ray Verbit and Jim Sanders. This dynamic duo were seen regularly poking around every corner of the campus with their swingers in hand. Always behind the camera, never in front, these photog- raphers have done an outstanding job. Not only by the tremendous amount of work involved, but by the technical and artistic excellence of their entire photo- graphic accomplishment. The opening section of this book is built around, no; on, these photographs, as is the rest of the book. Editor Oh, gosh, I forgot to put film in my camera. Hey Ray! Which button do I push now? ■ m • ' .« r Thu rilai ' l ' ol ' the 1967 Cobblestone is very proud to dedi- cate this book to Doctor George J. Oliver, who has done so much to make R.P.I, the college we have tried to portray in this annual. This book covers a lot, but it is still representative of only a small part of your year at R.P.I. The year has been more frustrating than most because of the lack of interest, but the few people who stuck by the Cobblestone did yeomen ' s work and saw the book through to its completion. The people who deserve the credit for this book are the members of the Staff like Judy Onesty, our copy editor, Pam Ramey, who joined us late in the year and still did such an excellent job with administration and faculty. Donna Poland, our feature ' s editor, who also doubled as an overworked secretary. Our photo editor, Linda Titus, who chased people down scheduling pic- tures. Our Business Manager, Elsa Perry, without whom we would have been financially lost. Outside the staff there are individuals and organiza- tions who unselfishly came to our assistance. Our advisor. Dean MacDougall, who nudged this editor when he needed nudging, and removed obstacles from our path. Lee Dennen, who supplied much needed infor- mation and finally gave up trying to keep us out of the Student Center at all hours of the night. The Prescript from whom we borrowed pictures and infor- mation. The faculty and administration, who were very cooperative with copy and pictures. Pat Murphy and Veeanne Crenshaw, who helped in any way they could when their bosses were busy. Bob Sayers, man- ager of 806. West Franklin, who minded the store while I was busy with the book. Also many thanks to the greatest collection of nuts that I ' ve ever met, the men of 806. They offered me help when they could, and sympathy when they couldn ' t. Last, but very far from being the least, the entire staff thanks Terry Gilson for the many hours he spent work- ing with us. So here it is, it has been a lot of fun, and I leave this book with mixed emotions. I ' m most grateful to Vicky Victor for giving me the editorship of the Cobblestone, I think we have produced the best book in R.P.I. ' s short history. However, our best should be the minimum standard for next year ' s Cobblestone, for as R.P.I, grows the yeeu-book must grow with it.
