Pittsburgh

Luncheon Every Wednesday, Danny's Restaurant, 516 Grant St.

Activities in the Dartmouth Club of Western Pennsylvania seem to be coming thick and fast of late. November 4 was a particularly busy day. President Fred Garfield, MacCorner, Bill Hagelin, and yours truly were hosts at a dinner for two visiting members of the Dartmouth debating team, and Director Robert Newman and six members of the University of Pittsburgh Men's Debating Association. The dinner was held at the University Club and the occasion was the end of a series of debates between Pitt and Dartmouth. During the four days from November 1 through 4, the two teams debated a total of eighteen times at various high schools, men's clubs, and on television. Dartmouth was privileged to be the first of four teams (others, Yale, Notre Dame and Cornell) which will debate against Pitt in the 1954-55 year in a high-school program series which will reach 24,000 students in thirty schools. William T. Krasnow '55 and Thomas L. Waddell '55 represented Dartmouth during the debates on November 1 and 2, while Robert H. Gile '56 and Charles Greenberg '55 spoke for the Green on November 3 and 4. Unfortunately, only Bob and Charlie were around for our dinner.

After dinner on the 4th, we had RemDrury, Bob Funkhouser, Jim Olsen, SamCoombs, Hal Perkins and Ed Chinlund join us for a serious enrollment committee meeting. Rem Drury, the new head of our enrollment activities, presented his detailed program for the 1954-55 year. Rem has done a marvelous job of organization. He is planning over a dozen "This is Dartmouth" programs for various high schools in the Pittsburgh area, as well as other tried and true means of selling Dartmouth to the boys in Western Pennsylvania.

Following the enrollment meeting, the Club's officers burned the midnight oil to discuss the "Meet the Gang" cocktail party at the U Club on November 29; a possible Hanover Holiday program or annual dinner in February; the annual Father and Son Luncheon at the Hotel Sheraton on December 29; and the Glee Club concert at Shaler H.S. on March 30. It was a busy evening, but a profitable one for Dartmouth in Western Pennsylvania.
