On the cover: The young man seated in a Wash- ington and Lee chair is completely absorbed in what was for him a new artistic experience—learn- ing to play the recorder, just one of the many art forms taught at Lexington’s first Fine Arts Work- shop held on the Washington and Lee campus in July. Later the boy turned his attention to the violin. For more about the workshop—and more pictures—turn to Page 10. A <4 “” at per- ows all the rest. t.

Sanford Doughty, William C. Washburn, James H. Bierer, and Gerald E. Poudrier discuss 1971-72 Annual Giving Program. Colonnade Club includes a separate listing in the University’s report of Annual Giving; an invitation to cocktails and luncheon with President and Mrs. Hunt- ley during Homecoming; and complimentary admis- sion to campus events. The greatest benefit of mem- bership, however, is the satisfaction to be derived from supporting one of the centers of excellence in higher education. The use of annual giving for support of current operations is essential to meet that part of the Uni- versity’s educational and general expense that exceeds income from tuition and fees, endowment, and other sources. This “operating gap” amounts to 14.2 per cent or $762,120 in this year’s budget. ‘The designa- tion of annual gifts for specific current purposes is still possible, and an alumnus, parent, or friend may earmark his gift for any current operating expense— such as the library, faculty salaries, student financial aid, or maintenance of physical plant. Under the procedure of soliciting law graduates, all gifts from law alumni will be used automatically for support of current expenses in the School of Law, un- less the donor requests otherwise. Therefore, every September, 1971 law alumnus, whether he received his undergraduate degree from Washington and Lee or from some other school, will know that his gift will go to the School of Law for current expenses. The June 30, 1972, deadline for the payment of gifts and pledges to the current Annual Fund was adopted to eliminate confusion and bookkeeping prob- lems. In the past, a person making a pledge to the Annual Fund during the fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) had the option of completing his payments at any time during July 1-December 31 of the following fiscal year. Thus many alumni were solicited for gifts in the new fiscal year before they had completed payments on pledge for the previous fiscal year. Accordingly, this year and in future years all gifts to the Annual Fund must be paid by June 30 if they are to be included in the Report of Gifts for that year. Payments received after June 30 will simply be cred- ited to the ensuing Annual Fund, and the donor will be solicited for that year just as if his gift had been received before June 30. On the record, such donor’s gift will be shown as the total of his two gifts during the fiscal year in which they are made. Campus News Four students are awarded Scharnberg scholarships Four outstanding students, all mem- bers of the Reserve Officer Training Corps program on campus, have been named as the first Scharnberg Scholars under a new honor scholarship program established this year at the University in memory of the late Maj. Ronald Oliver Scharnberg, a 1963 alumnus. They are Kenneth M. Evans of Bartlesville, Okla.; William H. Miller, III of Winter Park, Fla.; Marc James Small of Novato, Calif.; and Philip B. Willis of Huntsville, Ala. Evans, Miller and Small are seniors; Willis is a sophomore. Scharnberg was killed last March 17 during a military aircraft reconnaissance mission in South Vietnam. It was his third voluntary tour of duty there. The new financial aid program is funded with a $250,000 gift from Scharn- berg’s family and additional sums contri- buted by friends and classmates. The Scharnberg awards rank with the Robert E. Lee Scholarships and the Basil Manly Memorial Scholarships as the most pres- tigious a Washington and Lee student can receive. Freshman competition under the three programs takes place each spring during “Scholarship Weekend.” The up- perclass awards are made by the Univer- sity’s office of student financial aid. Preference in awarding the Scharnberg Scholarships is given to students who are considering a career in the military serv- ice or who have served in Vietnam or in other international conflicts. The son of Mrs. Lady Elizabeth Luker of Newport, Ark. and Oliver H. Scharnberg of West- wood, Mass., Scharnberg was 29 when his helicopter was shot down. His widow, the former Miss Marilyn Ellen Stevens of San Francisco, now resides in Tacoma, Wash. The Scharnbergs were married in 1968. At Washington and Lee, where he majored in English, Scharnberg was a member of the White Friars and Mongo- lian Minks in addition to the ROTC pro- gram. He was commissioned a _ second lieutenant upon his graduation from the University in 1963. In Vietnam, Scharnberg was a military adviser to South Vietnamese forces and RRS So ¥ Scholarship honors Maj. Scharnberg. served as officer-in-charge of operations for the Third Battalion, 187th Infantry of the 101st Airborne Division. He was com- missioned an officer in the Regular Army in 1969, following completion of extensive training in a number of advanced defense programs. He was promoted to major in 1970. Evans, a history major, is a Dean's List student who is active in a wide range of campus activities, including the Student Library Committee, the Young Republi- cans, Circle K, and the Interfraternity Council. Miller is an Honor Roll economics major, and he serves as vice chairman of the Young Americans for Freedom chap- ter. He is a dormitory counselor, a mem- ber of the staff of WLUR-FM, and plays baseball for the Generals. Small is majoring in classics and _ his- tory. A Dean’s List student, he is a mem- ber of the Young Republicans, the Young Americans for Freedom, the University’s debate team, and is past president of the Political Science and International Rela- tions Association. Willis is an Honor Roll student and last year as a freshman became a member of Phi Eta Sigma. He participated in his high school’s ROTC unit and was a mem- ber of the National Honor Society. In his sophomore year at Lee High School in Huntsville, he was an exchange student to Colombia. Mock Convention Date Set Students have set next May 5-6 for their famous mock political convention, when they try to predict who the Demo- crats will nominate in Miami next sum- mer to run against President Richard M. Nixon. It will mark the 15th time a Washington and Lee mock convention has undertaken to come up with the real nominee, in the most realistic, historically accurate of the nation’s many mock col- lege affairs. Washington and Lee students have been correct all but four times since the beginning of their event in 1908, a better record of political mood judging than either the Democrats or Republicans themselves have been able to manage. The students—going with Nixon in 1968, Goldwater in ’64, Kennedy in ’60, Steven- son in ’56 and ’52—have not been wrong since they picked Arthur Vandenburg in 1948, when Gov. Thomas Dewey was the WeL Mock Convention will go for six in a row next spring. candidate to run against President Harry ‘Truman. Festivities next May will begin with the traditional parade through Lexington to the convention center in Doremus Gymnasium. There, a nationally promi- nent Democrat, to be named later, will deliver the keynote address in what is hoped will be a fever-pitched style. As in September, 1971 the past, the Washington and Lee mock convention will hear several other polli- ticians, and, if a tradition holds true, the man the students choose as their nominee. The mock convention is not a reflec- tion of the student delegates’ own pre- ference, but rather a serious attempt to predict exactly what the Democrats will do at their convention. Each of Washing- ton and Lee’s 1,500 students will assume a delegate’s role, and each state chairman is committed to directing research and in- vestigation into his state’s actual political sentiments. Co-chairman for the 1972 event will be Mike Campilongo, a second-year law student from San Diego, and Tom Gilles- pie, a senior from Greensboro, N.C. Scripps—Howard Grant A $1,000 grant has been awarded to Washington and Lee University by the Scripps-Howard Foundation to further the education of students in the broad field of communications and who are paying for part of their college education themselves. The award—one of 38 to col- leges throughout the nation—was made by the foundation in the name of John H. Sorrells, Jr., a 1945 graduate of Washing- ton and Lee who is now promotions direc- tor for the Memphis (Tenn.) Commercial- Appeal. Jarrard Gets NSF Grant ‘The National Science Foundation has granted $20,000 to the psychology de- partment to support new research into motivation and behavior, in a project de- signed by Dr. Leonard E. Jarrard, pro- fessor of psychology. Under Jarrard’s di- rection, the Washington and Lee project will focus on the relationship between the hippocampus—a segment of the brain— and motivation. Its results could have major implications for scientists’ under- standing of learning and other psychologi- cal functions. Jarrard’s continuing research into the hippocampus has resulted in strong new indications that it is intimately connected 5 Campus News with motivation—for instance, hunger, thirst and exploratory activity. His NSF- sponsored research will continue to ex- plore that theory, and in addition will seek to determine the importance of the hippocampus and motivation in_ both learning and the actual performance of tasks which have been learned. ‘The NSF grant will support Jarrard’s research for 12 months during the next two academic years. Jarrard, 40, taught at Washington and Lee from 1959, when he received the Ph.D. degree from Carnegie-Mellon, until 1966. At Washington and Lee he conduct- ed extensive research into the hippocam- pus, and from 1960 until 1965 he directed the National Science Foundation’s under- graduate research program at the Univer- sity. He will become head of the psycho- logy department in 1972, when Dr. Wil- liam H. Hinton, current head, reaches the mandatory retirement age for department chairmen. Film on Traveller A documentary film on Traveller’s two great careers—first, as General Lee’s horse in war and in peace, and _ sec- ond, as one of the world’s most famous skeletons—has been produced by the Uni- versity’s department of journalism and communications and will be broadcast on a Roanoke television station this fall. The 15-minute film is called Where’s Traveller? and was produced over the summer by Professor Ronald H. Mac- Donald, the journalism department's elec- tronic media expert and long-time TV newsman. Assisting MacDonald technical- ly under a Robert E. Lee Research Grant was Chester F. Burgess, III, a journalism major from Lexington. 6 Making the film involved considerable amounts of research and investigation. Traveller was one of the most widely painted and photographed animals of his day, and copies of many of those pictures had to be collected for filming. Interviews with men who knew of Traveller’s “‘sec- ond career” were recorded. Myths and leg- ends had to be sorted out and investi- gated. The documentary traces Traveller’s life from his days as a colt named “Jeff Davis” through his sale to Lee in 1862. (The film follows the generally accepted account of Traveller’s sale—that Major Thomas L. Broun of West Virginia sold him to Lee for $200 after the General refused to ac- cept him as a gift. Still enduring, however, is at least one family legend with different particulars: that a Broadnax Maury of Virginia sold Traveller to Lee for just $1, prior to the Civil War.) Traveller’s war days and the last tran- quil years of his life in Lexington com- plete the “first” career. His “second” be- gan in 1907, when his remains were ex- humed and put on display. Traveller’s post-mortem career included a stint in the University’s biology museum, where every student for many years was obliged by superstition to carve his initials on the skeleton (with the behind-most bones guaranteeing the very best luck). One photograph in the movie shows Traveller's skeleton next to that of a much smaller animal, perhaps a goat—taken in the days Film by Prof. MacDonald will show Traveller marker dedication ceremony. “4 n students would tell visitors: “The 7 aC a | - for seven years before | - fe Mellon in 1966. < yi sity where she "Dr. Charles w.

New Award Presented Landon Bell Lane of Altavista, a sen- ior economics major, has been named to receive the first Philip H. Milner Honor Award by the Textile Veterans Associa- tion of New York. The new honor award at Washington and Lee is to be presented to the rising senior economics or business administra- tion major who has the highest academic average on all his work at the University. Lane has achieved a 3.635 out of a pos- sible 4.0. A graduate of the Virginia Episcopal School in Lynchburg, he is a member of Washington and Lee’s yearbook staff and of the Student War Memorial Scholar- ship Fund Committee, in addition to maintaining consistent Dean’s List and Honor Roll academic status. Mr. Milner, after whom the new award is named, is executive vice president of the Manufacturers Hanover Trust Co. of New York. Prominent in New York finan- cial and civic affairs, he’s a 1936 alumnus. September, 1971 In August workmen dismaniled the old power plant chimney which for years marred the campus landscape. Elimination of the stack was made possible by the conversion of the furnaces from coal to natural gas. The project was another step in maintaining the beauty of the W&L campus. Campus News Photography by A. Michael Philipps Wel 10 Fine Arts Workshop For four weeks in July the Washington and Lee cam- pus was the setting of Lexington’s first Fine Arts Workshop for students in grades two through 12. The program allow- ed the participants—68 in all—to taste the pleasure of cre- ative activity and to test their talents in art, dance, drama, and music. The sponsors were so pleased with the interest and abilities shown by the students that they hope to make the program a continuing one. The workshop was organized and conducted by a group of art-minded Lexing- ton citizens with the cooperation of W&L’s Departments of Art and Music and Drama and the Lexington Chapter of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Many of the instructors were W&L faculty members or their wives. The photos on these pages offer a glimpse of the workshop’s activities.
