Laymen Join Trustees
The Marian College Board of
Trustees has been increased by
three members to include, for the
first time in Marian's history,
persons other than Sisters of
St. Francis.
Right Reverend Raymond T.
Bosler, editor of the Criterion
and nationally known theologian;
John J. Dillon, Attorney General
of Indiana; and Frank J. Trav-
ers, vice-president and director
of the American United Life
Insurance Company were appointed to three year terms.
Mother Marie Dillhoff, O.S.F.,
said that the new appointments
were made to strengthen the
college's governing body during
Marian's present expansion and
development. She remarked that
the new members will be able
to give the college a fresh outlook and the benefit of the experience of lay persons. She also
noted that the new arrangement
was prompted by recommendations of leading Catholic authorities on higher education. The
new board members will join
Mother Marie Dillhoff, Sister
Mary Alfred, and Sister Mary
Mark of Cincinnati, Sister Helen
Catherine of Oldenbburg, and
Sister Mary Eileen of Cardinal
Ritter High School, all present
board members.
The proposal of appointing
lay persons to the board has been
under serious consideration for
well over a year. Since these
negotiations     were     extremely
sensitive they were kept a closely guarded secret. Here at Marian, the sisters have often been
criticized for being resistant to
change, yet in the board negotiations the sisters were trying
to effect change.
One of the sisters on the faculty, anonymous by request,
summed up the reasons for
change: "If the college is to
progress, it is essential that
there be lay people on the board
who are more familiar with
outside conditions. We will all
welcome these insights and the
knowledge these lay people can
bring to this college.
Overseas Awards
Marian students Sue Picker
and Katherine Toth have both
been awarded full scholarships
for overseas study through the
East-West Center of the University of Hawaii.
Kathy will spend her junior
year in Hawaii while Sue goes
to Taiwan for the summer. Sue
has spent the past year on this
program at the University of
Hawaii. Both scholarships are
for Chinese Language Studies.
The scholarships cover room,
board, travel expenses, books
and a cash stipend. Though applications for these scholarships
are accepted from students in
all fifty states, only thirty are
awarded each year.
May Brings W,
s 'Racy
College Field Day
With the advent of May in
Indiana, the excitement of the
"500" and the Qualifications is
