Reminiscing about Western, Sanders said, I recall one of the most kind and gentle human beings I have ever known, teaching me the value of people and love . . . and incidentally how to draw. His name was Ivan Wilson. Also I recall a man whose depth of understanding kept me in school regardless of my transgressions. His name was Kelly Thompson. To these two gentlemen, I am eternally grateful. Wendell Butler Wendell Butler, a graduate of Western, is commis- sioner of agriculture of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. He is the only man to have been elected for three terms as state superintendent of public instruction. During his first term as superintendent he started a movement to get the Minimum Foundation Program for Education enacted. Butler served as state senator from 1948-52 and has served as chairman of Western's Board of Regents under Presidents Garrett, Thompson, and Downing. I recall my days at Western with fond memories, Butler said. I have watched the institution grow from a teacher's college to a great university. It has been said that a university is the lengthened shadow of a great man. It was Dr. Cherry's wisdom and foresight that started Western on the road to greatness. William Red McCrocklin William Red McCrocklin has worked his way up the business ladder to become general manager of Circle Buick, New York, which is believed to be the largest Buick dealer in the world. A native of Louisville, McCrocklin was graduated in 1938 from Western State Teachers College, where his basketball feats won him All-American recognition. While at Western he was vice-president of the senior class, outstanding senior of his class, sports editor of the Talisman, and president of the W Club-all in 1938. Recalling his days at Western, McCrocklin said: The most lasting recollections of my days at Western start and stop with Dr. Henry Hardin Cherry and Ed Diddle. The strength of their character, their quality of leadership, and their dedication to responsibilities left indelible impressions on me. I am confident that their great faith in those of us who were fortunate enough to have their guidance, benefited greatly in molding our futures. Tim Lee Carter Congressman Tim Lee Carter, a native of Tompkins- ville, has been unusually active since entering the U.S. House of Representatives in 1964. His committee assignments have taken him where the action is-from debates on cyclamates to cigarette adver- tising and from regulating airlines to community antenna television. Congressman Carter, a Republican, was the first member of the House to call for the withdrawal of troops in Vietnam. He received the B.A. degree from Western in 1934 and the M.D. degree from the University of Tennessee in 1937. William F. Meacham, M.D. William F. Meacham, M.D., a 1936 graduate of Western, is clinical professor of neurological surgery at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Meharry Medical School, Nashville. Outstanding in the field of neurosurgery, Dr. Meacham is both a practitioner and a teacher. Since 1942 he has written about 35 articles, books, or portions of textbooks dealing with his field. In addition, he has served as a visiting professor at some of the nation's top medical schools, including the Universities of Minnesota, California, Rochester, Ken- tucky, and Chicago. He has also taught classes at Indiana University, johns Hopkins University, Cincinnati General Hospital, the Los Angeles Foundation of Otology, and Universidad de Nuevo in Monterrey, Mexico. ' Iulian Goodman julian Goodman, president of the National Broadcasting Company INBCJ since 1966, attended Western but left before graduating to join the Army in 1943. After service during World War II, he went on to earn the A.B. degree at George Washington University in Washington. Goodman was awarded the 1972 Gold Medal by the International Radio and Television Society for his con- tribution to broadcasting, in which he has worked for more than 25 years. A native of Glasgow, Goodman was named Kentuckian of the Year in 1970 by Kentuckians. I have and I believe will always have special feelings about my days at Western Kentucky, Goodman says. Those were happy and carefree days in my life during years of peace for our country before the last big war broke out. I learned to organize myself for study and for facing life. I developed my ambition and decision to become a journalist. Although personally I never like to look back very much, I do from time to time to my days at Western to draw inspiration for the future. Miss Frances Richards Upon her retirement in 1964, Miss Frances Richards had accumulated 34 years of service as a member of the faculty in the Department of English. In addition, Miss Richards sponsored the College Heights Herald, was faculty sponsor of the Leiper English Club, and assisted in the advisement of the Talisman. Miss Richards, who considers Simpson County her home, graduated from Western with her A.B. degree in 1925. She received her Master of Arts degree in 1930 from Indiana University. While a student at Western, Miss Richards assumed the editorship of the first Herald which was organized during her senior year. The first and only journalism teacher for a long time, Miss Richards may be considered the first lady of journalism at Western. She received the Herald's first annual award for outstanding contributions to the field of journalism in 1950. In addition to her duties at Western, Miss Richards is also a member of the Kentucky Folklore Society and the Kentucky Heritage Committee. Little of the old

Little of the old.. .little of the new. Every year at Western marks changes and transitions in all elements of campus life. Students, faculty, and administrators come and go, all instrumental to the steady development of Western as a maturing academic institution. Present study programs are expandedg new ones are added. Old buildings are destroyed or revampedg new ones are erected. Issues and problems are confrontedg some are resolved, others are not. The past several pages have presented a little of Western's history from past yearbooks, a little of the old. In the pages that follow, Volume 50 depicts the '72-'73 school year, a little of the new.
