1963

Columnist Andrew Tully had a few unkind words recently for Wally Roberts and a book Wally edited, "The Little Red Schoolbook" (Pocket Books). Described by its publishers as "uninhibited and radicallyflavored," the book reportedly has been banned in France and confiscated by Scotland Yard. Tully is so infuriated by the book's slants on education and "related" topics (such as sex) that he declares "a book finally has been published that deserves burning." Wally at present is far away from Andrew Tully and this mad world of ours, writing as a free lance and throwing logs on the fire in a farmhouse in northern Vermont. He was down to see your alumni columnist a while back to gather material on what recently emerged as an anticipatory obituary for the Peace Corps and VISTA. That appeared in the "new" Saturday Review, as distinct from the "old" Saturday Review, for which Wally had worked until last year as associate education editor.

Another adoptive Vermonter is Ed Emerson Jr., who is with a real estate firm in Strafford. But Ed's claim to fame this month is not real estate but his election to the Board of Governors of the U. S. Combined Training Association. The organization annually sponsors three-day endurance tests, including dressage, steeplechasing, cross country and stadium jumping for horse and rider throughout the nation. This year's competition will culminate in the selection of one of the three units of the U. S. equestrian team which will compete at the summer Olympics in Munich. Ed will be responsible for organizing several New England three-day events this summer, including the Junior National Three Day Championship in South Woodstock Vt.

Lufthansa, the German airline, has been flying into Philadelphia for the past two years. One of their first moves was to engage one of the natives, Jack Smith, to lure the locals onto Europe-bound flights. Jack is an area public relations manager and coordinates PR activities from Boston to Charlotte. Jack is an Air Force veteran and attended universities in Pau, France, and Freiburg, Germany.

John Rose, who once rode circuit for a New Haven, Conn., legal services office and as an assistant chief prosecutor for the Circuit Courts of Connecticut, has been named a partner of the Hartford law firm of Ribicoff & Kotkin. John is a Yale Law School product and has been associate with Ribicoff & Kotkin since 1968.

First National City Bank's Corporate Banking Group has named Dave McCollum to the position of vice president. Dave, who went on from the College to get an M.B.A. from Stanford, joined Citibank as a trainee in 1965 and specializes in the food, beverage and tobacco department. Dave and wife Suzie live in Darien, Conn., with their three daughters, Deborah, Melissa, and Jennifer.

Our doctors of the month are Doug Bell and Steve Kardon. Doug is finishing his general surgery residency in Rochester, N. Y., before moving on in July to begin three years of—prepare yourself—otolaryngology training at Yale. Of medical training, Doug says, "It never ends." Wife Susan, Kevin (8) and Leslie (3) no doubt sympathize.

Steve, meanwhile, has reported in from exotic Biloxi, Miss., where the Air Force has him grounded. A radiologist himself, Steve had the good sense to marry a pediatrician. Said pediatrician has one regular client, David (2) and a second enroute.

In academe, Bruce Berman is teaching courses in political development and organization theory in the Department of Political Science at Queen's University in New York. He and wife Elaine have one son, vintage 1970. Bruce reports hearing recently from fellow scholars Carl Maves, who teaches English at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, and Joel Jutkowitz. Joel is on the staff of the Fletcher School at Tufts and will join a UNESCO research project in Santiago, Chile, this July. Also of note, Steve Brenner is completing his doctoral thesis and teaching in Portland, Ore.

Ted Morehouse has been named Director of Marketing for National Newark & Essex Bank. Ted will manage the bank's Newark, N. J. marketing department and will be responsible for corporate level marketing programs for Midlantic Banks, Inc., New Jersey's first registered bank holding company.
