What's New On Campus
by James White
The headline for this article
may seem to be misleading to
some senior students who haven't
been on campus during the simi-mer,
but actually a lot has taken
place that escapes recognition to
some students.
First on the list of changes has
been construction. New roads and
parking fields already completed
or scheduled for completion in
the near future, have been slowly
but surely changing our campus
into its proposed 1970 layout
plan (which is on display in
Roosevelt Hall),
Most notable of summer con-struction
is the new entrance
to the dampus from Route 110,
The woods and undergrowth that
occupied the west side of Route
110 have given way to mighty
bulldozers and landmovers, and
in its place has developed a new
road that extends from Suffolk
Hall to the poultry house; along
behind the barn and ending in the
new parking field by Allard Field
House. This road, which will
become the main entrance to
campus, will drastically relieve
the traffice pressure built up
dally along Melville Road by the
day and evening school com-muters.
As soon as this road
is completed (by Nov, 15), Mott
Road, which is by Memorial Hall,
will close in order to continue
with the planned construction of
a new administration and class-

father was in the Consular Serv-ice.
He received his A.B. degree
from Miami University, Oxford
Ohio, in 1924; his M.A. and Ph.
D degrees from Harvard in 1925
and 1932 respectively; and a B.
Litt. from Oxford (England)
where he was a Rhodes Schol-ar
1928-1931.
He is a contributor to such
diverse publications as Atlan-tic
MontMy, Harper's, The New
Republic, Esquire, Vogue, Life,
The Reader's Digest, The Ameri-can
Oxonian, etc. He may be best
known generally for his appear-ances
as a panelist or master
of ceremony on many TV shows.
He began with "Majority Rules"
in 1949 when television was in
its infancy. Of the better known
shows are "Down You Go" and
the erudite "The Last Word."
He is also known to a large
radio audience for his divert-ing
and learned talks entitled
"Of Many Things."
Some of the typical comments
made by distinguished organiza-tions
which he has entertained
with his speeches are:
"Delightfully entertaining and
palatably intellectual." - West
Virginia Bankers Association.
"We have never presented a fin-er
speaker on our convoca-tion
series. ... most stimu-lating
and challenging; re-ceived
an ovation." - Mar-shall
University,
"....one of the most success-ful
of our current season.
Charmed and delighted an au-dience
of 1500; handled ques-tion
period with ease and good-humored
authority." - The
Cooper Union, N.Y.C.
