The Emeritimes, September 1986 HOWARD S. MCDONALD, President 1949 -1962. In Special Tribute, by William E. Lloyd. Howard Stevenson McDonald died on October 25, 1986. He was 92 years of age. Dr. McDonald was an educator all of his life, serving as a coach, teacher, and administrator in the public schools and as a university and college president. His other great interest was his devoted service throughout his life to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When Dr. McDonald arrived in the summer of 1949 to assume the presidency of Los Angeles State College, and to serve also as the head of Los Angeles City (Junior) College, he found a fledgling state college sadly in need of organization and development. Since the college had opened in September, 1947, with 136 students, it had grown in two years to over 2,000 students. Most were studying under the GI Bill, which had been largely responsible for establishment of the college. Upper division classes were being taught in borrowed spaces on the City College campus by mostly part-time faculty recruited from other institutions of higher education in the Los Angeles area and any other source where qualified instructors could be found. When Dr. McDonald retired in 1962, Los Angeles State College of Applied Arts and Sciences, as it be-came known in 1949, had its own permanent site, on which seven major academic buildings had been built and an eighth structure (North Hall, later named King Hall) was nearing completion. The college had a full-time faculty of about 700, a student enrollment approaching 16,000, and an annual graduating class of al-most 3,000 bachelor's and master's degree recipients. During his first year as president, Dr. McDonald put together a small team of administrators to help him build the college. To head this team, he brought in Dr. Albert Graves as Dean of Instruction, to build a permanent teaching faculty and put together an under-graduate and graduate curriculum; Dr. Morton Renshaw as Dean of Student Personnel, to handle admissions and registration; and Dr. Asael Lambert as Executive Dean, to work on finding a site and erecting buildings for a permanent campus for the burgeoning college. As was his wont, Dr. McDonald kept fully involved in all phases of development of the new college. One of the traits for which he was well known was the dis-patch with which he sorted his incoming mail each day and routed it on to others to handle, so that he could get out of his office, and observe at first-hand what was going on about the campus. He moved in rapid strides, dropping in offices and even visiting class-rooms, putting together his own assessment of what was taking place on his campus. One of his more difficult tasks, which he enjoyed telling about after the decision was reached, was his search for a campus site. He told of the many sites, somewhere between 27 and 50, that he checked out. He enjoyed telling how some influential supporters of USC opposed his selection of a piece of land in Baldwin Hills, and how the then Los Angeles Mayor Poulson ran him out of Chavez Ravine so that he could lure the Dodger baseball team to Los Angeles. Complicating the selection of the site was a requirement of the State Legislature that the college be located within the city limits of Los Angeles. Finally, the decision was made when a parcel of land owned by the State Highway Department was found on the eastern border of the City of Los Angeles. It was not the best of sites, but it was available and would have to do. Time had run out for the search. Almost as difficult as finding a permanent site for the College was the task of recruiting 50 to 100 new faculty members every year. The GI Bill helped, as servicemen used their benefits to earn advanced college degrees. Los Angeles State recruited heavily from the graduate schools at USC and UCLA, but the numbers available did not fill their needs. Dr. McDonald took part in faculty recruitment, as he and Dean Graves took trips across the United States to interview prospective faculty members on university campuses. Another activity in which President McDonald engaged with his usual vigor and determination were trips to Sacramento with Business Manager Jack Heppe and Dean Lambert, to plead the College's needs. There were visits to the State Department of Education, under whose administrative authority the College operated, and to the State Legislature to argue for increased funds for the operating budget and allotments of capital funds for building the new campus. There were many meetings with the State Architect's Office, which was charged by law with the job of de-signing the College's buildings. Those 13 years that Dr. McDonald served as president were certainly the formative years of Los Angeles State College. Ever the active, dynamic person, he was faced almost daily with demands for quick decisions which would impact upon the future of the college. Many were not the decisions that he wanted to make, but expediency demanded action. After all, the college was adding 1,000 or more students each year, and there had to be additional faculty and classrooms. In 13 years Dr. McDonald, aided by his own hand-picked team of helpers, had created a college which was attracting nationwide attention as a model of an institution of higher education with a strong urban focus. It was destined to continue to grow and expand academically into university status. Today, California State University, Los Angeles stands as a monument to the dedicated efforts of Howard S. McDonald. The Emeritimes, January 1987 ELLIOTT W. GUILD, member of the faculty at Cal State L.A. from 1949 to 1961, died in a Santa Clara hospital on February 6, 1987.

Quoting from the L.A. Times article: "Born in Los Angeles, Richard was a prolific author who expressed in print his interest in Western history, fiction, the Nevada desert and his own home in Beverly Glen Canyon, a patch of verdant wilderness surrounded by the nation's second largest city. In 'My Urban Wilderness in the Hollywood Hills', published in 1983, Lillard told of the mammals, reptiles and insects on the one-third acre that he lovingly tended; of the plants and trees, the swelling buds and the aphids that threatened them. I both don't belong here and I do', he said of his then 36-year odyssey in the chaparral-covered hill. Richard earned degrees at Stanford and Montana Universities, later going to the University of Iowa in 1943 to study for his doctorate in American civilization. He taught in Montana, Wyoming and California before returning to his native Los Angeles to join the faculty of Los Angeles City College in 1933.

She was an eminent voice teacher who, in addition to her activities at Cal State, taught voice and conducted the opera workshop at Pepperdine University and taught classes at Ambassador College, USC, and Claremont. Many internationally known singers, including Carol Neblett, formerly with the Metropolitan, had studied with her. She also taught numerous church soloists, voice teachers, and choral directors who performed in the Los Angeles area. She was co-author of The Voice of Singing , a book for beginning voice classes. Esther's life reads like a book of fiction. She grew up in Berkeley and graduated from UC Berkeley with a major in Music. She began as a pianist, obtaining a position as an accompanist to a prominent voice teacher in San Francisco, and began taking singing lessons from that teacher. Pierre Monteux, the famous San Francisco conductor, heard her sing and, as a protégé of his, she went to Europe to study voice and became a prima donna in Zurich, singing Wagnerian roles. Esther was in Paris when the Germans occupied the city, but through the intervention of a German general was able to escape to Switzerland and eventually returned to the United States. After concerts in New York, she became a big success in this country, but an illness put an end to her singing career. However, Esther had an uncanny ability to know what a student's capability was and how to obtain results; she thus became one of the great voice teachers. Esther died at the Alhambra Lutheran Home.

John served as department chair from 1964 to 1969 and was a member of the College Foundation Board of Trustees in 1970. Very skillful in personnel matters, John was sensitive to the needs of faculty that are necessary for the success of a department; he always tried to "sweeten the pot" (a favorite expression) for all concerned. He and Professor Don Moore carried out feasibility studies on savings and loan associations which were presented to the Savings and Loan Commission. In 1975 John took early retirement, and the Norbys settled in Langley, where in the ensuing years they became involved in many community projects. They helped in the development of the Langley Library and worked with the South Langley Good Cheer Thrift Shop. John served in the Volunteer Fire Department and was a member of the Useless Bay Golf and Country Club (this led to his often remarking to friends that he was thinking of starting a University there: Useless U!).

GREENLEE was born in Richland, Iowa, on Sept. 7, 1911, the only child of Martha and John Greenlee. After graduating from high school at 15, he attended Parsons College for two years, then transferred to the University of Iowa where he received a bachelor's degree in 1930, a master's in 1931, and a Ph.D. in 1934. While engaged in postdoctoral study at the Universities of Chicago, Iowa, and California during summers, he also was a social science instructor, high school principal and community college dean in Emmetsburg, Iowa, from 1934 to 1940. In 1940, he joined the faculty of Iowa State College and spent 19 years as an administrator and teacher of government and history. (He took three years off during World War II to serve as an officer in the U.S. Navy, for which he was awarded a Bronze Star.) He left Iowa State in 1959 to become Director of Personnel and Training for Engineers at Collins Radio Co. in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. From there he came to Cal State L.A. in 1965 as Vice President of Academic Affairs. He became President of the University in 1966 and served until his retirement in 1979. A member of numerous national organizations and national honor societies, including Phi Kappa Phi, Phi Delta Kappa, Alpha Kappa Psi, and Beta Gamma Sigma, he was listed in Who's Who in America and was a member of the U.S Naval Reserve, from which he retired as a Commander. After retiring from Cal State L.A., he was a consultant in higher education and also assisted in the establishment of Lutheran-sponsored Christ College in Irvine, CA, which conferred upon him an honorary LI.D. He was 81 years of age at the time of his death on Nov. 23, 1992. He is survived by his widow, Lillian, whom he married in 1955. Mrs. Greenlee continues to reside in South Pasadena, where the couple had made their home since coming to California in 1965. The Emeritimes, Winter 1993 JOHN ALDEN GREENLEE, President of the University, 1966-1979 - A Tribute by Bill Lloyd. There is a postulate offered by some political scientists that the people of a democracy will select persons best qualified to lead them at any given time. If there be truth in this idea, and if it can be applied to the selection of a college president, the choice of John A. Greenlee as President of California State College at Los Angeles in 1966 could be cited as supporting evidence of that idea. John Greenlee came to Cal State L.A. in Fall 1965 as Vice President of Academic Affairs. The College, then in its 18th year, was still growing, with a student body of 15,000 that was increasing at an average rate of 1,000 students per year. In the area of academic affairs, it was a time of ongoing, nationwide searches for new faculty members, added classes in almost every discipline, and new courses and degree programs. The campus had outgrown its new physical facilities, and the shortage of adequate parking spaces had become a major problem. Immediately upon taking office, Vice President Greenlee became involved in converting the campus to year-round operation and adopting the curriculum from the semester system to the quarter system. The entire faculty and many staff employees were involved in this major undertaking. All of this major academic restructuring meant that the new vice president received an immediate, in-depth indoctrination into the academic affairs of the College and was able to contribute a few ideas of his own. But his full-time involvement in academic affairs, which he was to say later represented his most enjoyable times at Cal State L.A., came to an end prematurely when then-President Franklyn Johnson suddenly resigned late in the year. Dr. Greenlee was appointed Acting President but fully expected to return to his post as vice president by Fall 1966. However, the Trustees of the CSU selected him as the new president, although he reportedly had not applied for the position, and he accepted. In his 13 years (1966-79) as President, Dr. Greenlee led the campus through a second major phase of maturation. During his first year as President, the conversion to the quarter system and year-round operation were completed, a task that involved winning a budget-cutting battle with the state legislature and the governor, in which he enlisted student help in getting adequate budgetary support to accomplish the conversion. Early on, Dr. Greenlee began what he described as an "urban thrust" for the campus, in which he "turned the campus around to face its community" and enlisted faculty and student help in improving relations with secondary schools, assessing the educational needs of prospective students, and adjusting class scheduling and course offerings to best serve student needs. In academic matters, he consulted the faculty and its Academic Senate for in-depth study and recommendations. His collegial relationship with the faculty and the Senate during his administration was often praised. As the campus' enrollment continued to grow toward its ultimate high of more than 25,000, President Greenlee became deeply involved in all aspects of a second round of major construction. For an outlay of $75 million, the campus' physical facilities were doubled with the construction of the Administration Tower, a second building for the JFK Library, major additions to the Engineering and Technology building, and the new Physical Sciences and Simpson Tower buildings. Also added was a gigantic parking lot north of campus to accommodate the growing numbers of commuting students. Recognizing the campus' need to expand its ties with the outside world, Dr. Greenlee established the offices of University Development and Alumni Affairs. Mid-way through his tenure as President (1972), the California State Colleges (CSC) became The California State Universities and Colleges (CSUC), and our campus became California State University at Los Angeles (the word "at" was later replaced by a comma), an action that greatly pleased him. From those who knew and worked with him, Dr. Greenlee earned the highest marks as a university administrator, as evidenced by the impressive scope and number of state and city leaders, in addition to faculty, staff, students, and alumni, who praised his accomplishments highly at his retirement banquet. Everyone with whom you talk about John Greenlee describes him with such simple words as "calm," "cool, "relaxed," "never irritated," "easy to talk with," and "a patient listener." He always seemed able to deal with any issuelarge or smallthat was placed before him. As one top university administrator put it, "he seemed always to know more about the subject I came to discuss with him than I did, even in the academic area I headed. Perhaps it was because he was an assiduous reader who could be observed through the open door to his office deeply engrossed at his countertop desk, literally absorbing the contents of stacks of memoranda, reports, and other materials. With his vast knowledge, he never hesitated to make decisions about tough issues when they were presented. During his entire life as a teacher and administrator, John Greenlee devoted his efforts to promoting excellence in education. His contributions toward that objective will forever be a part of California State University, Los Angeles. The Emeritimes, Winter 1993 FRANCESCA (KIKI) ALEXANDER, Emerita Professor of Sociology, died on October 11, 1992, a few days short of her 66th birthday, losing a valiant battle against cancer. Memorial services were held on October 14 at St. Mary's Episcopal Church, Mar Visa, with many faculty members in attendance. Kiki joined the Cal State L.A. faculty in 1964 as an assistant professor of sociology, following a career in the aerospace industry as a technical writer and human factors analyst. She earned bachelor's and master's degrees at the University of Chicago and a Ph.D. at the University of Southern California. Her specializations within sociology included statistical analysis of research data, social psychology, gerontology, and medical sociology, in which she developed and taught the course in our program. Her coursesfrom general education to graduate levelreflect her scholarship in all these areas, as do her many publications, addresses, and consultantships. Her academic record in teaching and research is matched by her record of service to the University. Following appointments to numerous department and school commit-tees, Kiki chaired the university-level Faculty Policy Committee and worked diligently to achieve reconciliation of pre-existing campus policies and procedures with the system wide collective bargaining agreement. She served thereafter as president of the campus CFA chapter, campus academic senator, system wide CFA secretary, and system wide academic senator. In all these capacities, she was noted for her sensitivity and integrity. Beyond the campus community, Kiki "lived" sociology through volunteer work with both church and civic groups devoted to meeting needs of the poor, troubled youth, battered women, and the elderly. She also held memberships in national and regional sociology associations and presented papers at major meetings. Kiki maintained a lifelong interest in psychoanalysis. In addition to its relevance to her work in medical sociology and social psychology, her interest was motivated by her father's pioneering work in psychoanalysis, first in Germany and later in the United States, to which her family had immigrated when Kiki was three. Over the years after his death, Kiki gathered and organized Dr. Franz Alexander's papers, letters, films, and tapes and arranged for their use in an authorized biography of which she had planned to be a coauthor. The Franz Alexander biography will not be written solely by Dr. George H. Pollock, a past president of the American Psychiatric Association, with appropriate attributions to Francesca. Francesca Alexander is survived by her husband, Jacob Levine, a retired Los Angeles County probation administrator, and their son, Alexander Levine, a Ph.D. candidate in physics at UCLA. The Emeritimes, Winter 1993 DAN CAPPA, Emeritus Professor of Education, came to Cal State L.A. to chair the (then) Department of Elementary Education in 1959. One of the pioneers in the School of Education, he died of pneumonia some time ago. Dr. Cappa earned his bachelor's degree at Central Washington State College in 1937, a master's degree at the University of Washington in 1945, and a Ph.D. in Education from UC Berkeley in 1953. Before coming to Cal State L.A., he was an elementary school principal and a curriculum director in a county in Northern California. He specialized in reading and social studies in the elementary curriculum. He is survived by a daughter. The Emeritimes, Winter 1993 CARO C. HATCHER, Emerita Professor of Education who taught at Cal State L.A. from 1955 to 1972, died recently after a long, distinguished career. (Ed.: death reported in the Winter 1993 issue of The Emeritimes). Among her many accomplishments was the founding of Cal State L.A.'s (then) Department of Special Education (with Dr. Francis Lord) and of a program in education for individuals with physical handicaps. She was known for her work with spastic children, and she helped establish a residency program for adults. Dr. Hatcher earned a B.S. degree in 1925 at East Central Teachers College, an M.S. in 1933 from Oklahoma A&M, and an Ed.D. in 1950 at the University of Denver. She was awarded a Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech from the American Speech and Hearing Association in 1955 and became a Licensed Psychologist in California in 1959. She was a Fulbright Scholar in Denmark and received the campus' Outstanding Professor Award (OPA) for the 1969-70 academic year. After her retirement from Cal State L.A., Dr. Hatcher continued to work as a psychologist. Her work goes on through the programs she established. The Emeritimes, Winter 1993 LEONARD F. HEATH, Emeritus Professor of Art, died in late October 1992. He had taught on campus for 30 yearsfrom 1956 until his retirement in 1986, and was highly regarded for his mastery as a sculptor and his skill and dedication as a teacher. Dr. Heath grew up in Los Angeles and earned BFA (1950), MFA (1951), and Ed.D. degrees (1963) at USC. While at Cal State L.A., he was active in University affairs at all levels, representing his school on the Academic Senate for many years and serving on the University Beautification Committee and its subcommittee for placement of art works on campus. He also developed plans for two sculpture gardens for the campus. For his extensive, varied service, he received the campus' Outstanding Professor Award (OPA) in 1973-74. He traveled extensively, visiting the Far East, Central and South America and Russia, including Siberia and Mongolia. Very active in his field, he served on the boards of directors of the Downey Museum and the Pasadena Society of Artists and participated in the USC Postdoctoral Colloquium. His sculpture was exhibited regularly (many will remember his several pieces that were on display in the Maryann C. Moore Conference Room, Admin. 317, for several years), and he was a frequent jurist for art exhibits. He edited a book, Form and Style, that was published by Houghton Mifflin. He is survived by his wife Diane and a young daughter. The Emeritimes, Winter 1993 RAY F. MARSH, Counselor Emeritus, whose tenure at Cal State L.A. spanned 23 yearsfrom 1955 until 1978died of cancer last September 1, 1992 in Utah. During his long employment, he contributed greatly to the advancement of the campus' counseling and advising services. Ray came to California after graduating from high school in his native Utah. After studying music, working as foreign sales supervisor for Max Factor in Central America and the Caribbean, and spending more than five years on the personal staff of the late Howard Hughes, he resumed his education and earned bachelor's (1955) and master's (1958) degrees at USC. He first became Registrar at Cal State L.A., then Associate Dean of Admissions and Records. Later he was promoted to Professor in the Counseling Center. He also taught part time in the School of Business and Economics. His wife, Myrtle, preceded him in death in 1985. He is survived by a daughter, a son, a brother, four sisters, and 10 grandchildren. The Emeritimes, Winter 1993 DOROTHY R. PECKHAM, Emerita Professor of Education and a language arts specialist, died recently of age-related problems (Ed.: death reported in the Winter 1993 issue of The Emeritimes). . Dr. Peckham earned an A.B. in 1932, an M.A. in 1933, and a doctorate in education in 1948, all at the University of Texas. A founding member of Delta Kappa Gamma, a national honor society for education, at the University of Texas, she taught at Cal State L.A. from 1950 until her retirement in 1972. She is survived by a daughter. The Emeritimes, Winter 1993 MARY A. BANY (Education, 1955-1974), died in Redmond, OR, on Feb. 25, 1993. A Cal State L.A. graduate (with a master's degree in EducationSchool Administration), she earned a bachelor's degree at the University of Oregon and an Ed.D. at USC. Before coming to Cal State L.A., she taught elementary and secondary classes in Salem, OR, and locally in Alhambra. She chaired the University's [then] Department of Elementary Education and had a reputation as an outstanding teacher, speaker, author, and specialist in social psychology and its application to education. In addition to making notable contributions to teachers and administrators both in classes and in state and federal grant-supported government projects, she published widely. College textbooks she coauthored include Classroom Group Behavior (which received an Educator's Book Award), Classroom Management , and Social Psychology in Education , all published by Macmillan. French and German translations of these books were used in teacher-training institutions abroad. The Emeritimes, Spring 1993 BARBARA O. HENKEL (Health and Safety Studies, 1956-1981), died on January 22, 1993 at age 71 after a brief hospitalization. She was residing in San Marino with her husband, William, at the time of her death. Dr. Henkel earned a bachelor's degree in Nursing at UC Berkeley, a master's degree in Health and Safety Studies at Cal State L.A., and a doctorate in education at UCLA. She headed the Pasadena chapter of the American Red Cross before coming to Cal State L.A. Besides her professional duties, which included chairing her department, she authored several textbooks in her field. She also did volunteer work in nursing after her retirement (until 1987) and was listed in Who's Who of American Women. Besides her husband, she is survived by a daughter, three grandchildren, a brother, and two sisters. Both her daughter and one sister are Cal State L.A. graduates, a tribute to her support and encouragement. The Emeritimes, Spring 1993 STEWART A. JOHNSTON (Chemistry, 1953 1977) died Jan. 10, 1993 at age 82 after a long illness. He came to Cal State L.A. when the science and mathematics curricula were in their formative stages and presided over the development of the various departments as chair of the Division of Science and Mathematics. The faculty members who were hired at that time formed the nuclei of the departments that became Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Geological Sciences, Mathematics and Computer Science, and Physics and Astronomy. Credit for the stature of the current science programs can be attributed to the diligent planning and hard work directed by Johnston in those early days. Faculty who worked with him in the 1950s and '60s recall the congenial atmosphere that prevailed as a result of the many social events that were fostered by Johnston and his first wife Millie who was an accompanist for Cal State L.A.' s early dance classes and often entertained at parties hosted by the Johnstons at their home. When the campus became a university and the divisions were restructured into schools, Johnston was Director of Research and Governmental Relations as well as Professor of Chemistry. During his tenure, he also was a consultant to The Aerospace Corporation, Space Technology Laboratories of RamoWooldridge, and Cal Tech's Jet Propulsion Laboratories (JPL) and worked as a research chemist with the Virginia Chemical Corp. and Chapman Chemical Co. After retiring, Johnston continuing teaching chemistry part time until 1985. Born in Ontario, Canada, in 1911, Johnston earned a B.Sc. in chemistry and physics (magna cum laude) in 1932 and a M.Sc. in physics in 1937 at University of Manitoba and a Ph.D. in physical chemistry at Stanford in 1940. His long teaching career included a lectureship in physics at United College, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (1934-38), an instructorship in mathematics and physics at Western Washington State College (1942-43), an assistant professorship in physics at USC (1943-44), and chairmanship of the Department of Mathematics at Western Washington State (1946-52), all before joining the Cal State L.A. faculty in 1953! His wife Millie died in 1980, and he married Barbara in 1982. During his retirement, he and Barbara traveled extensively and enjoyed their hobby, photography. Besides his wife, Johnston is survived by three daughters and four grandchildren. The Emeritimes, Spring 1993 VICENTE R. PILAPIL, who joined the History Department faculty in 1970, died suddenly in Thailand on July 25, 1993 at age 52. A native of the Philippines, Dr. Pilapil earned a B.A. in 1959 at the University of San Carlos (Philippines) and M.A. (1961) and Ph.D. (1964) degrees at the Catholic University of America. His specialties included the history of modern Spain, the Spanish colonial empire, and 20th century European diplomatic history, all of which he taught at Cal State L.A. in addition to introductory U.S. history and world civilization and an advanced historiography course. He was a productive scholar who spent many years in the archives of Spain and the Philippines. His biography of King Alfonso XIII of Spain is considered a definitive work. In addition, he published numerous articles in major history journals and presented papers frequently at professional meetings. The recipient of grants from the American Philosophical Society, the Social Science Research Council, the Del Amo Foundation, and CSLA, he was in the early stages of a yearlong sabbatical during which he had hoped to complete research for a book about the Philippine insurrection of 1868-1898. The Emeritimes, Fall 1993 WILLIAM G. BYRON, chair of the Department of Geography and Urban Analysis for the past two years and a CSLA faculty member since 1954, died in March 1993 after a long battle against cancer. He was one of two remaining faculty members who came to CSLA in 1954 (he shared the distinction with Hugh Bonar, a professor of history). A World War II bomber pilot in the Pacific, Dr. Byron earned bachelor's (1948) and master's (1951) degrees at UCLA and a Ph.D. (1954) at Syracuse University. His areas of specialization included cartography and cultural geography, with a focus of Mexico and the Third World. He also was an expert in the interpretation of recovered pottery and other archaeological artifacts. In addition to departmental activities, he was an active participant and occasional acting director of the Latin American Studies Center and made significant contributions to the Library's Latin American holdings. He also participated in and directed the Field Station in Mexico that CSLA maintains for study and research in regional history, anthropology, and geography. For his numerous, ongoing contributions to the University, William Byron received the campus' Outstanding Professor Award (OPA) for the academic year 1965-66. He is survived by his wife, Gretchen. The Emeritimes, Fall 1993 EMMETT A. GREENWALT (History, 1949-1974), who joined the CSLA faculty only two years after the University was founded, died June 10, 1993 at age 85 after a long illness. He was buried in a San Gabriel cemetery. A San Francisco native, Dr. Greenwalt earned bachelor's (1937), master's (1940) and Ph.D. (1949) degrees at UCLA. (He taught for the Los Angeles Unified School District before returning to UCLA to pursue his master's and doctorate.) After serving in the Army during World War II, he came to the (then) Los Angeles State College Vermont Ave. campus (which was also the first home of UCLA and now houses Los Angeles City College). He remained in the Army Reserve and attained the rank of lieutenant colonel before retiring with 20 years of service. He was a specialist in California history, served for a time as department chair, and was his department's longtime principal graduate adviser. The author of two books, both about the Point Loma Utopian community near San Diego, he remained active well into his 80s and compiled a detailed history of his family. Survivors include his wife of 49 years, Edwina, and a son, Franklin. The Emeritimes, Fall 1993 KING S. LUK (Civil Engineering, 1960-1983) died late in June 1993 after a long illness. A 1957 Cal State L.A. graduate (B.S., Engineering), he later earned an M.S.C.E. at USC in 1960 and a Ph.D. at UCLA in 1971. He was licensed as a Registered Professional Civil Engineer in 1959 and as a Registered Structural Engineer in 1961, both in California. When Dr. Luk joined CSLA's Civil Engineering faculty in 1960, the discipline had an area coordinator (no department status at that time) and was housed in the Technical Sciences Division which, in addition to Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering, included Home Economics, Industrial Arts, Nursing, and Police Administration. He chaired the Department of Civil Engineeringby then a part of the School of Engineeringfrom 1969 until 1972. Besides being a distinguished structural engineer, he was active professionally and served on the State Seismic Safety Commission. Memorial services were held at Rose Hills in Whittier on July 3, and a memorial luncheon took place at the New World restaurant in Alhambra, of which he was part owner. Dr. Luk is survived by his son, Erik, and his daughter, Doris. The Emeritimes, Fall 1993 LESLIE NELSON (1950-1973, Education), one of Cal State L.A.'s earliest faculty members, died during the spring of 1993. A Utah native, he earned B.S. (1930) and M.S. (1931) degrees at Utah State Agricultural College (which later became Utah State University) and started teaching in a public school in Utah. While pursuing a Ph.D. (granted in 1944) at Ohio State University, he studied with Edgar Dale, a prominent leader in audio-visual education at the time. During World War II, he worked on techniques to identify enemy war planes and later became a leading authority in the field of audio-visual education. Dr. Nelson came to Cal State L.A. in 1950 as one of a group of scholars recruited by the (then) Los Angeles College of Applied Arts and Sciences. He was instrumental in the development of the University's audio-visual curriculum and worked closely with students enrolled in directed teaching courses. He was the author or coauthor of five textbooks about educational methodology as well as a standardized test titled "Scale of Attitudes and Beliefs." In addition, he produced a number of silent and sound film strips, including "Geometry in the Elementary Grades," "Modern Mathematics Readiness Activities," and "The Los Angeles State College Story" and a motion picture, "Vocational Agriculture in Utah." After his retirement in 1973, Nelson became a travel tour leader and led groups to many places all over the world. He combined his work with his great interest inand enthusiasm for-35 mm photography which resulted in numerous slide lectures. The Emeritimes, Fall 1993 HUDSON ROYSHER (1954-1975, Art) died on June 23, 1993 in La Jolla, CA after a long illness. A graduate of Western Reserve University (later Case Western Reserve University) (A.B., 1934) and USC (M.F.A., 1938), he was a distinguished member of the Cal State L.A. faculty for 21 years, the last five of which he spent as department chair. "Hud," as he was known by close colleagues and friends, excelled in many areas of education and was one of the campus' earliest recipients of the Outstanding Professor Award (OPA)in the 1963-64 academic year. He went on to receive the CSU system wide OPA in 1965-66. Besides being an excellent and popular teacher, he was a scholar, an avid champion of academic freedom, and one of the country's outstanding silversmiths. At CSLA, he was active in academic governance. He served a number of years on the Academic Senate and on many campus committees as well, among them the Committee on Committees and the Academic Freedom and Professional Ethics Committee. He also was a member of the local chapters of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and the Association of California State College (now University) Professors (ACSUP), of which he was president in 1963-64. In addition, he was an important member of the CSU Year-Round Conversion Study Committee and drafted an amendment to Title V to protect the academic year. Born into a family of artists (sculptors), he had a clear vision of his career interests from an early age. He began as an industrial designer but became interested in ecclesiastical iron-work. His interest led him to specialize in this field, and his work earned him a worldwide reputation for magnificent designs of church altar pieces: crosses, candelabra, chalices, tabernacles and even altars. His commissioned works are found in churches and museums throughout the world, including the Smithsonian Institution. Locally, St. Peter's Episcopal Church (San Pedro), All Saints Episcopal Church (Beverly Hills), St. Brigid's Roman Catholic Church (Los Angeles), St. Catherine's Military School Chapel (Anaheim), La Casa de Maria Retreat Chapel (Montecito), and St. Paul's-in-the-Desert Episcopal Church (Palm Springs) exhibit his works. This work in turn led him to create another form of ceremonial artuniversity maces. One of the most visible signs of his artwork at CSLA is the University Mace, which was first carried in the 1960 Commencement Exercises and has been included each year since then. (The honor of carrying the mace is accorded the Chair of the Academic Senate.) Besides Cal State L.A., he created maces for USC, the University of Buffalo, Syracuse University, and Bethune-Cookman College. Roysher was one of five silversmiths whose works were selected by the U.S. State Department for a twoyear European tour in 1951-53. He was honored on campus with an exhibition of his silver work in February 1967. Emerita Librarian Mary Gormly, who recalls the exhibit, described his works as "breathtaking... particularly the small pieces of jewelry." A life fellow of the International Institute of Arts and Letters, Roysher was profiled in design, art, and architecture publications both in the U.S. and abroad, including Amerika, the Russian language publication issued by the U.S. Information Agency. He left his mark as a craftsman at CSLA and other campuses as well. He was responsible for organizing the Department of Industrial Design at the University of Illinois (1937-38), Chouinard Art Institute (1945-50), and UCLA (1953-54). He also taught industrial design in the College of Architecture and Fine Arts at USC (1939-42). In retirement, he kept busy with his craft, completing a six-foot brass and red leather processional cross in 1985 to complete the sanctuary appointments he made 31 years earlier for St. Peter's Episcopal Church. The Emeriti Association featured him as its first Emeriti Lecturer in 1986. He spoke about his work and illustrated his lecture with impressive color slides. Some years ago he was honored by Syracuse University which established a Hudson Roysher Manuscript Center to house his working sketches, drawings, correspondence, notes, exhibition catalogs, and related items. All of this is for the "enlightenment of future scholars"an honor that delighted the talented professor. In his memory, CSLA's John F. Kennedy Library has established the Hudson Roysher Memorial Fund. Roysher was a strong supporter of the Library and its librarians and a close friend of the late Vice President for Academic Affairs, John A. Palmer. It is perhaps no coincidence that the Library's collection of art books is housed in the John A. Palmer Wing. It was a fitting tribute that at Hudson Roysher's memorial service (at St. Peter's in San Pedro) on July 17, the Cal State L.A. mace that he lovingly crafted many years ago was carried by Academic Senate chair Edward M. Goldberg. The processional cross he completed for St. Peter's in 1985 was carried at the service, also. Roysher is survived by his wife Allie, a CSLA graduate in art (ceramics); a son, Martin, of Albany; a daughter, Allison, of St. Louis; and two grandchildren. The Emeritimes, Fall 1993 MANUEL R. DEORTEGA (Chicano Studies, 1969-1990), who retired under the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP) in June 1990, died in Mexico City July 7, 1993, where he was born and spent the first nine years of his life. A cofounder of CSLA' s Chicano Studies program, he designed and taught many of the classes in the undergraduate curricula. A versatile scholar and dedicated teacher, he earned the respect of both students and colleagues and will be remembered as an outstanding teacher who was dedicated to his community. He published in both Mexico and the U.S. He immigrated to the U.S. at age nine and later earned a bachelor's degree in 1954 at Univ. of the Americas in Mexico and an M.A. in 1967 at Cal State L.A. His master's program emphasis was literature, an art form for which he had a lifelong passion. He also took pleasure in singing songs that exemplified the soul and spirit of Mexicohis native landand its people. DeOrtega is survived by his wife of 40 years, Lourdes, and two daughters. The Emeritimes, Winter 1994 EDWARD J. NEALE (Educational Foundations and Interdivisional Studies, 1949-1974), Emeritus Professor of Education, died May 29, 1991, in Portland, OR, of complications from a stroke. He was 82. Born in Canada in 1909, he grew up in Portland and completed his secondary education there. Later he earned bachelor's (1940) and master's (1944) degrees at the University of Notre Dame, a Ph.D. (1949) at UC Berkeley, and did postgraduate work at Stanford. In addition to being an educator, he was a lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy. One of CSLA's earliest employees, he came to campus as Registrar and Associate Professor of Education in 1949 after completing his doctorate. As Registrar, he also served as chair of the Student Petitions Committee. His academic appointment was in the area of Secondary Education. Four years after retiring, Neale moved to Oregon in 1978 where he was an avid golfer and a voracious reader. He was preceded in death by his son, David, in 1969, and a brother, Kenneth, in 1980. Besides his wife, survivors include two daughters, Nikki and Betty Neale; a brother, Harold; and a sister, Helen Birnie. The family suggests memorial contributions to Brooks Hill Community Church, 11539 NW Skyline Blvd., Portland, OR. The Emeritimes, Winter 1994 ROBERT M. OLDHAM (Physical Education, 1961-1992), Professor Emeritus of Physical Education, suffered a fatal heart attack Nov 6, 1993, at his home in Avila Beach, CA. He had retired just fourteen months earlierin September 1992. Oldham was first employed as an assistant basketball coach and head golf coach at (then) "LASC." After receiving his B.A. in 1959, he was employed as a part-time faculty member while studying for his master's degree which he earned in 1961. At that time he received a full-time appointment (instructor in physical education). As a coach, he strived to help his players develop into student-athletes. That his efforts were appreciated was evident by the high student evaluations he received. As a physical education teacher, he covered a wide range of subjects, including activities courses from beginning to advanced levels (tennis, golf, basketball, volleyball), upper division majors courses, and the capstone course for secondary PE teachers. He coordinated directed teaching in the department for 20 years and was responsible for evaluating and placing teaching candidates in public and private schools throughout the greater Los Angeles area. His departmental and professional involvement was extensive, as well. He was department associate chair and active on the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC), the Peace Corps training program the NCAA Summer Youth Sports Program, and on many department, school, and University committees. He is survived by his wife, Mary, a sister, and two brothers. The Emeritimes, Winter 1994 ROSS D. F. THOMPSON, Professor Emeritus of Physics, died on New Year's Day 1994 of an apparent heart attack. He was 75. The only grandson of Alec Thompson, founder of the Thompson Boiler Works on the site of what is now Mandarin Plaza in New Chinatown, Ross was born in Los Angeles and lived there all his life except for time spent at Berkeley, MIT, Cornell, and the Navy Language School at Boulder, CO. He graduated with honors from Cal Tech in 1940. His Ph.D. research at Cornell was supervised by Richard Feynman. He published in the field of quantum electrodynamics and regarded himself as a "quantum mechanic." Before joining the Cal State L.A. faculty in 1959, Ross taught at USC and supervised doctoral students, some of whom went on to teach at CSU campuses. He came to our Department of Physics at its founding and had a major role in personnel selections that contributed to the unusual harmony and collegiality in the department. He helped develop the undergraduate and graduate programs and taught most of the courses in the physics curriculum. After retiring in 1980, he continued as a FERP lecturer until 1987. Ross was deeply concerned with conservation and environmental issues. He was an enthusiastic backpacker and possessed encyclopedic knowledge of High Sierra and California desert trails, back roads, and botany. He took exquisite photographs of mountain and desert flora and occasionally gave nature talks. He traveled extensively worldwide. His broad interests encompassed history, politics, linguistics, impressionist art, and classical music. He was fluent in French, German, Spanish, Russian, Greek and Mandarin Chinese. His last trip was a cruise down the Volga River and side trips to remote areas of Russia and Georgia. The Emeritimes, Winter 1994 KENNETH ZIMMER (Office Systems and Business Education, 1961-1983), Professor Emeritus of Business Education, died January 18, 1994 after a long illness. He had been retired for ten years and resided in Agoura Hills. He received all of his higher education in the state of New York, earning a Bachelor of Science degree at New York University in 1943 and M.A. (1946) and Ed.D. (1952) at Columbia University Teacher's College. Zimmer came to Cal State L.A. in Fall 1961 as an Associate Professor of Business Education. From 1964 until 1973 he chaired the (then) Department of Business Education. His accomplishments on campus include playing an instrumental role in the development of the M.A. degree program in Business Education and an undergraduate option in Office Administration for the B.S. degree in Business Administration. His contributions to the School of Business and Economics, the University, the business community, and professional associations were extensive. He was the author of numerous publications, among them two business communication textbooks, several typewriting instruction books, and various others books, articles, and chapters. He is remembered by the School of Business and Economics as an individual who cared deeply about his students. In accordance with his wishes, no memorial service was scheduled. The Emeritimes, Winter 1994 RICHARD L. STONE (Anthropology, 1971-1989) died August 10, 1993, in San Diego, one day after his 60th birthday, of complications from AIDS. His death was reported in the Fall 1993 issue of The Emeritimes; however, no additional information was available at that time. Born in Blackfoot, Idaho, he attended elementary and high school in Idaho, but dropped out at age 17 to join the Navy. While on military duty, he spent time in the Philippinesan area that later became a major area of his anthropological research. He earned a bachelor's degree in history at Idaho State University in 1960, then, under a Fulbright Fellowship for graduate study, pursued further studies at the University of the Philippines. There, for several years, he immersed himself in the field of research relating to the Sulu Archipelago which led to a paper, "Integrating Relations Among the Taosug, Samal, and Badjaw of Sulu," that was considered a classic in Sulu studies. After earning a master's degree at the University of Hawaii in 1963, he taught at the Ateneo de Manila and then returned to Hawaii to pursue doctoral studies which culminated in the receipt of a Ph.D. in 1968. He taught at several Philippine universities, John Jay College of the City University of New York, the University of Hawaii, and CSU Long Beach before coming to Cal State L.A. in 1971. At CSLA, Stone was chair of his department, coordinator of the Liberal Studies program, and active in academic governance. He taught a wide variety of subjects and designed several courses for his department. Students remember him best for his wit, versatility in teaching, and availability. He published more than a dozen papers based on research about the Philippines. Besides the Philippines, his research interests included other areas of the Pacific, Asia, Mexico, and the U.S. Transportation systems, squatter communities, policemen, cab drivers, folk and legal systems, Muslim society, gossip, dietary practices, women's roles, and value systems were among the topics covered by his published works. Besides scholarly endeavors, he was a talented author who had published some of his fiction. From the early 1980s, he devoted a great deal of time and study to the topic of gay alcoholics and worked with various AIDS support groups and Alcoholics Anonymous. In 1989, he published (anonymously) "People of the Gay Grape" and, in 1991, under the pseudonym Rick Elston, "Ramon's Story," the biography of a gay Mexican alcoholic. At the time of his death, he had nearly completed a lengthy manuscript ("The Old Peasant") that was described as a "historically accurate" mystery/thriller set in the Philippines during the early Marcos years. Many who read the 30 chapters as they were being written eagerly awaited each succeeding one. In a recent issue of University Reports, it was reported that his writing group will attempt to complete the final chapter of his book. The Emeritimes, Spring 1994 MARYO VAN DEMAN (Music, 1960-1977), a distant relative of the late President Greenlee, died July 22, 1993, of cancer. A highly respected teacher, she was much loved by generations of students. She earned both B.A. (1934) and B.Mus. (1935) degrees at Whittier College and later earned a Master of Music (1947) at the University of Southern California. Before joining Cal State L.A.'s music faculty in 1960, she taught at both Whittier College and UCLA. At Cal State L.A., she taught primarily in the area of music education (for the elementary grades). After retiring, she maintained an active interest in music and provided a home for an army of cats, to whom she was devoted. In recent years, she lived in Sedona, Arizona. The Emeritimes, Spring 1994 CELESTE GRIFFITH (Music, 1954-1978) died May 28, 1994, in Overland, KS.

The Emeritimes, Fall 1994 GENEVIEVE ALLISON, wife of Laird Allison, Emeriti Association Treasurer, died suddenly this summer. The Association extends its heart-felt sympathy to Laird. The Emeritimes, Fall 1994 MARION J. ("PETE") OLSEN (Recreation, 1958 1975) died July 8,1994 in Provo, UT, where he was born in 1910, attended high school, and graduated from Brigham Young University with a B.S. degree in 1936 and an M.S. in 1941. A distinguished secondary educator, he was a high school principal for 21 years and was selected as Utah's Educator of the Year in 1957. When he arrived at CSLA in 1958, the Recreation Education program was just a few years old, the master's degree had barely been initiated, and the department, headed by founding faculty member George Willott, was housed in the Division of Health and Safety, Physical Education, Recreation, and Athletics. His teaching area was recreation administration, and his professional interests were sports and the organization of sports. An avid golfer and bowler, as well as an enthusiastic sports fan, he also was known around campus as the "poet laureate"presumably because, whenever the need arose (retirements, farewell parties, etc.), he had a poem ready to recite! Active professionally, he was involved in the California Parks and Recreation Society. After retiring, he traveled extensively in the U.S., Mexico, and Europe and was president of both the Retired Teachers Association and the Old Time Athletics Association. Survivors include Leonahis wife of more than 55 years; son, Philip Marion Olsen; daughter, Connie Russell, and her husband Gary; a brother; four sisters; and four grandchildren. The Emeritimes, Winter 1995 DONALD A. BIRD (English, 1956-1977) died in Los Angeles on November 16, 1994, of a heart attack. He was 75. A three-time graduate of the University of Wisconsin (B.A., M.A., and Ph.D.), he earned the campus' Outstanding Professor Award (OPA) in its initial year, 1963-64. He served as Dean of Graduate Studies for several years, as well as on the state's Curriculum Commission and the Advisory Board of American Speech. Among his writings was the college textbook, Patterns of Thinking and Writing. The Emeritimes, Winter 1995 PERSIS H. COWAN - Word of the death of Persis H. Cowan (EducationCurriculum and Instruction, 1956-1974) last fall (1994) in Oakland has been received from her family. The daughter of a grocer who became a Baptist minister, she is survived by her 92-year-old sister, Theodosia Wilkinson (a retired English teacher); another sister, Helen Geller; her brother, renowned architect Paul Hamilton; and several nieces and nephews. All are northern California residents. Cowan's primary area of expertise was early childhood education, and she was instrumental in the development of CSLA's early childhood education curriculum which currently is included in two master's degree options as well as two certificate programs. She was active in CSEA and AAUW. She pursued all of her higher education in California, earning an A.B. at the University of Redlands in 1931, an M.A. at USC in 1941, and an Ed.D. at Stanford in 1956. The Emeritimes, Winter 1995 RANDOLPH G. SERVICE (EducationCurriculum and Instruction, 1957-1980) died in last fall (1994) in Virginia, where he had been director of the Northern Neck Audubon Society. A three-time UCLA graduate, he earned a B.A. in 1941, an M.Ed. in 1952, and an Ed.D. in 1964. His area of expertise was adult education. He spent time in Micronesia as an adult education consultant. While at CSLA, he also started the MILE program at Lincoln High School in the 1970s, served as a methods instructor, and supervised directed teaching. He served on the Seniors Committee for the City of Los Angeles as an appointee of then-Mayor Tom Bradley and was active in AARP. The Emeritimes, Winter 1995 MARTIN L. STOUT (Geological Sciences, 1960-1990) died in September 23, 1994, after battling cancer for 17 years. A 30-year faculty member, he served as department chair from 1970 to 1973 and continued to teach after his retirement until March 1994. A California native, he earned a Ph.D. at the University of Washington under the direction of J. Hoover Mackin and Howard Coombs. From these mentors, he acquired the background and inspiration to balance teaching and geological consulting to provide his students practical experience in the field. His research interests included slope stability, landslide slip surface geometry, and late-Wisconsin and Holocene history of southern California, particularly the San Bernardino Mountains and the Blackhawk Landslide. In addition to his work in the western U.S., at the invitation of the Norwegian, Icelandic, and New Zealand governments, he investigated methods of reducing damage caused by landslides and erosion. He was Secretary of the Cordilleran Section of the Geological Society of America (GSA) from 1973 to 1985 and was elected chair of the section in 1990. When CSLA's (then) Department of Geology hosted the GSA Cordilleran Section meetings in 1975 and 1986, he lent invaluable assistance. His keen interest in students was evident in his work as faculty adviser to the CSLA student chapter of the Association of Engineering Geology (AEG) from its inception in 1979. He was program chair for the national AEG meeting in 1992 and received honorary membership in 1994. From 1980 to 1994, he served on the California State Registration Examination Commit-tee, formulating the exam for geologists and certifying exams for engineering geologists and geophysicists. Recently, he organized an out-reach program for public school teachers called "Let's Go Geologizing" and led its field trips as recently as last February. Martin's enthusiasm for geology-especially field geology, his warm personality, and joy in life inspired all who came in contact with him. He is survived by his wife, Dorothy; two children-Eric and Karen; three stepdaughters-Donna, Diana, and Deborah Steller; and his sister, Joy Aucoin. The Martin Stout scholarship has been established in his name and is awarded annually. The Emeritimes, Winter 1995 MORTON J. RENSHAW, ( Dean of Student Personnel, 1950-1964; Education, 1964-1973) died February 17, 1995 at age 85 at his home in South Pasadena. Best known as the campus' popular Dean of Student Personnel for 14 years during its greatest growth periodthe 1950s and '60she left that position in 1964 to teach in the School of Education and retired nine years later. Born in Colorado, he earned both bachelor's and master's degrees at Colorado State University and a Ph.D. at Stanford University. He was part of a small team of administrators led by then-President Howard McDonald who guided our institution, in its early years, from a small, upper division/graduate college to a major university whose enrollment, at its peak, topped 25,000 students. When he was dean, the Student Services Division comprised several offices that, effectively, provided services for students from the time of application for admission until graduation day. Included were Admissions and Records, Student Activities, Counseling and Testing, the health center, the placement center, visa student advising, and veterans' advising. Before coming to Cal State L.A., Renshaw taught high school in Colorado and later entered the field of college teaching and administration. He taught at the University of Washington, University of Alaska, and Washington State University before beginning doctoral studies. He also was a staff member at San Diego State University and was Dean of Student Personnel for both CSLA and Los Angeles City College when the two institutions shared the Vermont Ave. campus. Active in the community (South Pasadena), as well, he was a member of the local Masonic Lodge, the Oneonta Club, Kiwanis, a founding member and the second president of the Silver Triangle, and at St. James Episcopal Church, where he was a lay reader. Survivors include his wife of 57 years, Mary Alice; two daughters, Susan Meyer of Hermosa Beach and Gaynor Cannon of Temple City; a sister, Dorothy Carson, of Albuquerque, NM; and four grandchildren. A memorial scholarship fund has been established in his name at Cal State L.A. The family has requested that any memorial contributions be directed to that fund through the University Development office. The Emeritimes, Spring 1995 LOUIS G. GARDEMAL (Theatre Arts, 1950-1981) died at his home in Los Angeles on January 28, 1995 of a heart attack. He was 75 years old. He is survived by his wife, Romain. "Lou" earned a bachelor's degree in 1940 from St. Edward's University in his home state of Louisiana. During World War II, he was a naval intelligence officer. Taking advantage of the GI bill, he attended the University of Iowa, where he completed his Ph.D. in 1950. That was a landmark year for him. He married Romain, who was teaching at Iowa. Later that year, he joined the faculty at Cal State L.A. as the first professor of theatre arts (then known as "drama"). During his 31 years at CSLA, he served his students and colleagues in many capacities. He directed multitudes of students in a wide variety of theatrical performances. Many of these students, such as Robert Vaughn and Cliff de Young, became successful in the industry. In the early years, he directed plays in temporary bungalows and dressed the sets with furniture from his own apartment. Lou and Romain's designs were the basis of the theatre building that was constructed in the late 1950s. For years, he was the department's principal graduate adviser and, on a number of occasions, director of theatre. With the late Fred Shroyer (English, 1950-1975), he coauthored a popular textbook titled Types of Drama . His high academic standards, respect for students, and visions for the future established a quality foundation for the department that persisted for many years. -- by Howard P. Holladay. The Emeritimes, Spring 1995 BEN C. GMUR (Health and Safety Studies, 1956-1983), died January 21, 1995 after a short illness. Gmur earned all of his academic degrees at California institutions: a B.A. in 1950 from UC Santa Barbara; an M.A. in 1951 from Stanford; and an Ed.D. in 1959 at UCLA. His area of expertise was health education, and his contributions were noteworthy. They included work on the development of the Framework of Health Education for California public schools; a text book (co-authored with Len Glass), Making Health Decisions ; a series of eight health education texts for grades one through eight (co-authored with John T. Fodor and Len Glass). He participated in the development and implementation of a number of special workshops for teachers on various topicsdental health, smoking, health and drug abuse, among others. He worked toward the establishment of guidelines and standards for the California Single Subject credential in Health Science and a specialist instruction credential and served his department as directed teaching coordinator. In outside professional activities, he chaired the board of directors of the Los Angeles Heart Association and was a member of the board of directors of the Cancer Society and the Lung Association. At CSLA, he chaired two academic departments (Health and Safety Studies and Recreation), was associate dean of the School of Fine and Applied Arts (under Donald A. Mortensen, who retired in 1978), and was dean of the school until his retirement in 1983. Although always busy with the usual administrative duties, he was an avid golfer and participated in many Cal State L.A. golf tournaments over the years. He continued to enjoy the sport even when burdened by poor health. Gmur was active in the First Baptist Church of Carpinteria which he served as deacon and treasurer. In acknowledgment of his dedication, the church is dedicating its library to his memory. Survivors include his wife Lorraine, four children, and several grandchildren. The Emeritimes, Spring 1995 JOSEPH G. PHELAN (Psychology, 1959-1983) died on March 5, 1995, after a long illness. Phelan was born in Brooklyn, NY, and earned both bachelor's (1936) and master's (1938) degrees at Fordham University. After serving in the U.S. Navy in World War II, he attended Princeton University (NJ) and earned both M.A. (in 1948) and Ph.D. (1951) degrees. His WW II service included stints as a deck officer in both the Atlantic and Pacific theatres. He left the Navy in 1946 and worked as a staff clinical psychologist for the Veterans Administration Psychiatric Hospital in Lyons, NJ, while in the doctoral program at Princeton. From 1949 to 1959, Phelan was a vocational psychologist at Stevens Institute of Technology, a workers' compensation psychologist at Liberty Mutual Insurance Corp. in Newark, an associate with Bruce Payne Managerial Consultants, and a psychologist (corporate level) with the Bechtel Corp. At CSLA, he had an outstanding career both in teaching and research. He was honored as an Outstanding Professor Award (OPA) recipient in 1964-65the second year the award was given. He was the author of 93 articles about personnel, industrial, clinical, experimental, and social psychology that appeared in professional and scientific journals. His teaching areas were equally varied: vocational rehabilitation, labor relations, personnel interviewing, selection and hiring, affirmative action, and managerial psychology. He was listed in the 1973 edition of Outstanding Educators of America. A licensed psychologist in California since 1959, he was a rehabilitation and clinical psychologist at the El Monte office of the California State Department of Vocational Rehabilitation. He gave generously of his time to individual and group counseling efforts. In later years, he was severely hampered by the aftereffects of a 1974 automobile accident and by failing eyesight. Phelan leaves his wife of 49 years, Elizabeth, and a son, Neil William. His son, James Brendan, predeceased him. The Emeritimes, Spring 1995 WILLIAM B. SIMPSON (Economics and Statistics, 1958-1983) died of a heart attack in January 1995 at his home in Eagle Rock, only a few minutes' drive from CSLA. He was born in Portland, OR, and graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Reed College with a bachelor's degree in math in 1942. By the next year, he had earned a master's at Columbia University, and in 1971, he completed his Ph.D. at Claremont Graduate School. During World War II, he had an extremely interestingand sometimes harrowingtour of duty in the South Pacific and Japan as a special agent in counterintelligence. Later, he was instrumental in the growth of the Cowles Commission (serving in several capacities and, ultimately, as executive director) and the periodical Econometrica (as managing editor). Returning to graduate study in the mid-1950s, Simpson pursued what became his life-long major area of concentration: a combination of economic theory and principles with the philosophy of education. After arriving at Cal State L.A. in 1958, he was a vital force in the Department of Economics and Statistics for more than three decades and contributed to curriculum development, teaching, and research. He worked with strong conviction on raising grading standards, improving teaching standards, easing faculty loads, and budget planning. He was a frequent consultant to such diverse bodies as CSLA' s Academic Senate, the CSU Chancellor's Office, and the state legislature, among others. Retirement seemed to spur his activity in re-search, writing, and public speaking, all of which culminated in several books and a number of papers. Before he died, he completed two additional books which are due to be published in spring: Special Agent in the Pacific, WW 11Counterintelligence: Military, Political, and Economic and Philosophy of a Concerned Academic Within and Beyond the Ivory Tower. Since 1991, he had been advising a group of publicists in Japan who are attempting to correct an imbalance in the version of World War II history taught in Japanese schools. He also was interviewed for a Japanese public television documentary that was shown in Tokyo on the 48th anniversary of the end of World War II. With his wife of 37 years, Ruth, who contributed much to his writing, Bill maintained a very strong interest in education and, to this end, established five endowment funds at Reed College. They also shared a devotion to many homeless, abused dogs which they rescued. Some found a home with them, and others were placed with new owners. -- by Mildred Massey. The Emeritimes, Spring 1995 Presenting Bill Simpson: Man of Many Talents and Interests by Mildred Massey During his long, illustrious career, William B. Simpson's endeavors have taken him down many paths. First and foremost, he is an economist who came to Cal State L.A. as a faculty member in the Department of Economics and Statistics in 1958 and retired in 1983. In this capacity, he strived to expand, enrich, and maintain standards of excellence in the curriculum. However, his pursuits during half a century have covered an extraordinary range of activities: founding member of Econometrica , a member of the entering team to Japan upon its surrender during World War II, expert on the economics of college education, delegate to the AAUP, author, counterintelligence special agent, and, most recently, participant in the Reed College "Take Charge" program in Southern California. Bill Simpson was born in Portland, OR, and graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Reed College with a math major. Accepted for graduate work at seven major universities, he chose Columbia. The role he would later play in combining mathematics and economics was foreshadowed by a paper he authored about sampling theory while working under Harold Hotelling and by his M.A. degree in statistics. By this time, he also had become interested in the philosophy of education, which he retains to this day. By now, World War II was well under way. In 1944, he was designated special agent to the Banking and Economics section of the Manila Counterintelligence Office. This group was placed in charge of all foreign funds, and it was Bill's responsibility to direct the closure of all banks in Manila. The objective of this move was to keep the money out of the hands of those who might be apt to help enemies of the U.S. Managing the subsequent state of affairs no doubt called for ingenuity and techniques not found in standard economic theory. From the time of the Japanese invasion on December 8, 1941, until General MacArthur' s forces reinvaded the Philippines in 1944, and Manila finally was liberated in 1945, the social and economic structure had been fragmented and regimented. At this time, Bill Simpsonin his mid-20swas the youngest agent. In July 1945, Bill became a consultant to the Secretary of War and was appointed special representative to the supreme Commander of the Allied Powers to Japan, following General MacArthur into Tokyo. A group had been formed to go into Japan to stabilize the situation and secure the country for the U.S. Army of Occupation. The only one chosen from the Manila Section, Bill was assigned to the 11th Airborne Di-vision, even though his status was that of a civilian with a diplomatic passport. The initial briefings for this new job had all the trappings of a James Bond scenario. The dozen or so agents who were to go into Tokyo were taken into a windowless room. A large map labeled "Target Tokyo" was pulled down, and the instructions "drop by parachute" appeared! (He had never been in a parachute, to say nothing of dropping from a plane in one.) Fortunately, the need for this action did not come to pass because the entry to Japan was made by plane via Okinawa. They arrived in Tokyo in late August 1945, the first wave of Americans to go in. When General MacArthur was settled into quarters, Bill and a group of agents provided security for the surrounding area which was primarily farm land. Once, as he was walking through part of the land, Bill encountered a "fanner" asleep on the ground. When Bill tapped his foot, the fanner jumped up and saluted. All of the farmers in the region were Japanese military personnel. Although no plans for an attack on the General were discovered, the capacity for such an event existed. The war ended, and with it, his work as a special agent. He returned to graduate school at the University of Chicago. There he became affiliated with the Cowles Commission. The subject of econometrics was in its infancy, and the Commission's director was Jacob Marschak, who already was highly regarded in this new field of economic theory. Bill became Assistant Director, later Acting Director, then Executive Director. During these years, and in the following decade, dozens of econometricians, including several future Nobel Prize recipients, spent time working under the auspices of the Cowles Commission. Also during this period, the Economet-rics Society and the periodical, Econometrica , came into being. Bill served on the Council of the Econometrics Society and as its secretary. He also was managing editor of Econometrica , with Ragnar Frisch, an eminent econometrician of the era, as coeditor. In this capacity, he arranged early meetings of the society in Asia, especially Japan. Over the years, he has remained involved in projects with the Japanese, including one relating to war crimes. In 1953, he took a leave of absence from the Cowles Commission to travel around the world. One memorable visit was with the Crown Prince of Thailand who demonstrated considerable interest in a number of philosophical matters. After this, he went to Stanford University to begin work combining economics with the philosophy of education. The subject had interested him for some time, but in the 1950s, there was no formal curriculum. This pursuit was the foundation of what was to become a lifetime field of research and contributions resulting in numerous publications, consultations, addresses, etc. His interest continues even now. He began attending seminars at UC Berkeley in labor economics, education, and business cycle theory and, as a volunteer, cofounded the Institute of Social and Personal Relations in the San Francisco Bay area. With other volunteers from UC Berkeley, Mills College, and San Francisco State, he worked at solving problems of people who were experiencing difficulties in such areas as senior housing or were potentially suicidal. He also was a consultant to the American Academy of Asian Studies which was affiliated with the University of the Pacific in Stockton, CA. While living in the Bay Area, he became acquainted with a young woman named Ruth Decker. In his words, he "met her serving drinks on Geary Street." (Actually, it was over tea at the Unitarian Church.) They were married in 1957, and since that time, she has greatly assisted Bill in his professional work, in addition to pursuing her own teaching career in the public schools. After pursuing the many adventures described above, Bill Simpson finally came to Cal State L.A. in 1958. For more than three decades, he was a major force in the Department of Economics and Statistics, contributing significantly to curriculum development, teaching, and research. His strong influence was felt in the raising of teaching standards, both in his discipline and in general, and in other areas such as teaching loads and salary levels. He was a frequent consultant for various constituencies: department, school, University, Academic Senate, state legislature, CSU Chancellor's Office. He presented his research on the year-round quarter system, adjustments to faculty loads, organizing, implementing, planning, budgeting, and other matters related to the economics of higher education. These interests continued through his activities with the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and his work as a consultant for the California Postsecondary Education Committee (CPEC), for which he wrote several reports about California's Five Year Plan for Higher Education. At an AAUP Education Commission of the States-sponsored seminar for legislators and faculty, he gave the keynote presentation. At an annual AAUP national meeting, he presented a paper, "Financing Higher Education." His work in these areas has continued long after his retirement from Cal State L.A. in 1983 with a series of papers and addresses. And it has expanded, in a report to AAUP titled "Implications of New Educational Techniques on Faculty Concerns" and a book published by Praeger, "Cost Containment for Higher Education." His writings about economic matters relating to higher education continue unabated with a book titled, "Toward Intelligent Choice: Philosophy of a Concerned Academic and Practicing Activist," and another, "Managing with Scarce Resources," a collection of articles, and an autobiography that deals primarily with the World War II years and the occupation of Japan. "Special Agent in the Pacific" is ready to go to the publisher. A thread from his years in Japan has woven itself into the present: the fate of the Chinese war prisoners at the camp at Chussan, Japan. There, during the war, the Japanese kept hundreds of Chinese captives, mostly from Manchuria, as slave laborers under deplorable conditions. About half died while in captivity. The question of reparations has been investigated. Recently, a group of Japanese citizens produced a documentary video about these prisoners. As one who testified at the criminal trials after the war, Bill was interviewed and appears in the video. Both Bill and Ruth have an intense interest in education; they have established five endowment funds at Reed College. Bill is on the Claremont Graduate School Council and participates in Reed College's "Take Charge" program, meeting with groups of "at-risk" high school students to encourage them to stay in school and maximize their potential. And this glimpse of Bill and Ruth Simpson would not be complete with mention of their devotion to a legion of dogs whom they have rescued. Their involvement includes work with groups that giveor find homes forDobermans that have been abused or abandoned. Bill Simpson's life has been very eventful and productive. He has made many contributions through his teaching, research, and writings and as an activist for many causes. And he's still going at it full steam ahead! The Emeritimes, Spring 1994 LOUIS WAITE STEARNS (Biology, 1964-1980), died on March 11, 1995, at his home in Boise, ID. He was 78. A native of New England, he received his higher education on both the East and West coasts, earning a B.S. at Tufts University (MA) in 1939, an M.A. at Harvard in 1940, and a Ph.D. at the University of Southern California in 1960. He was often described as the "quintessential professor" and "a true professor in the old sense gentleman and a scholar." He never used lecture notes, preferring instead to lecture from memory. One colleague commented that Stearnsa voracious readerwas the "most widely read professor I ever knew," and added that he recalled many occasions when the lanky professor could be seen leaving campus at night with a huge pile of journals and books (including mystery novels) in his long, slender arms. Rumors circulated that he sometimes read a book a night, and he often quoted Shakespeare in his lectures and everyday conversation. He also was a prolific writer. Stearns was department chair of the (then) Department of Zoology before it merged with the departments of Biology and Botany in the 1970s. His specialization was cell and systems physiology, and he wrote a book about sea urchin growth and development. One of his primary interests was the campus library, and he took great pains to ensure that periodicals his faculty and students needed were up to date and that appropriate kinds of biology books were purchased. He served with distinction as building coordinator and was always on the lookout for rooms within the science building that could be converted into labs suitable for the various biology programs. Although he shunned publicity, the six-foot-four, 150 lb. Stearns was a very popular instructor who challenged students to generate ideas, not just answer questions. But physiology was far from his only interest. Visitors to his home soon discovered his passion for playing the organ. He also was fond of hiking and rock climbing. Survivors include his wife of 53 years, Norma; sister, Phyllis Picking, of Westford, MA; sons Geoffrey, of Houston, TX, and Laurence, of Sacramento, CA; daughter and son-in-law, Gail and John Collins, of Camarillo, CA; niece, Gwen Williams, and family; and his grandchildren, Lauren and Ian Stearns and April Collins. The Emeritimes, Spring 1995 MIDORI NISHI, Professor of Geography, 1951-1985, a survivor of the World War II evacuation camp at Manzanar, who went on to become, it is thought, the first Japanese woman to obtain a Ph.D. in geography in the United States, died suddenly at her home in Monterey Park on July 8, 1995. Nishi was a native of Los Angeles, went through schools here and was attending UCLA when on the night of December 7, 1941 police came to the Nishi household and took her father from his bed to the police station and to Terminal Island the next day. From there he, and later his family, were sent to a relocation camp. Although conditions were very crude and uncomfortable, some educational opportunities were provided; thus Midori was able to continue her education. Eventually she was granted a scholarship to Nebraska Wesleyan University and graduated in 1944. She then went on to an M.A. in 1946 from Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. This was followed by further graduate work at the University of Washington. However, she wanted to be near her family, so she returned to the Los Angeles area and taught at Cal State L.A. part time for a year, then joined the full-time faculty in 1951. While teaching she resumed her doctoral work at UCLA and was awarded a Ph.D. in 1974. Nishi was one of the early faculty members who began teaching at the Vermont campus, and she went on to an illustrious career until her retirement in 1985. When she joined the faculty, there were approximately 100 faculty members at the fast-growing institution. She was influential in the establishment of the programs in geography. She was an outstanding lecturer, and her classes were enriched through her extensive travels. During the succeeding four decades, she made substantial contributions to the subject matter of Japanese migrants overseas, including emigration to Latin America, and Japanese agricultural and fishing development in Micronesia; to the Senate Faculty Affairs Committee; and to the Institute of Asian and African Studies. Nishi lectured widely, was a prolific author of journal articles, produced teaching film strips and an educational movie, and was a frequent participant in community groups. She was a member of the Association of American Geographers, the American Geographical Society, Association for Asian Studies, and many other professional groups. Midori was active in the West Los Angeles Japanese Citizens' League; she was Cal State delegate to the U.S. National Commission for the UNESCO National Conference and a member of the geography advisory panel for the Statewide Social Science Advisory Committee, 1965-67. She is survived by her brother Henry; four sistersSetsuko, Mary, Edith, and Barbara; her aunt, Yasugiku; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews. The Emeritimes, Fall 1995 KENT LADD STECKMESSER, Professor of History, 1960-1985 died suddenly in early April 1995 in his hometown of Downers Grove, Illinois. An expert in the Westward Movement, Steckmesser taught in the History Department from 1960-1985. After retiring in 1992 he continued to teach one quarter per year until 1994. His degrees were from Stanford University, University of Iowa, and the University of Chicago, where he received the Ph.D. Among his writings were "The Western Hero in History and Legend" and "Western Outlaws, the 'Good Badmen in Fact, Fiction and Folklore , plus many articles in western journals. He was a member of the Huntington Westerners Corral of Westerners International. At the time of his death, Steckmesser was working on a book to be titled John Wayne and the Mythic West, as well as on the history of Natchez Trace which included his walking the entire distance. The Emeritimes, Fall 1995 WILLIAM H. BRIGHT, Associate Professor of Business Administration, 1950-1980, who served as Director and as Assistant Dean of Summer Sessions and Extension, died on May 9, 1995 in Pasadena from complications of myasthenia gravis. Although he was born in Davenport, Iowa, Bill was a product of local educational institutions; he attended elementary and high schools in Los Angeles. He and Helen were married in Los Angeles on November 21, 1942, and during World War II he was a purchasing agent for the United States Air Force at Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio. Following the war, he started college in Los Angeles and received both a B.A., in 1949, and M.B.A., in 1950, from Cal State L.A. in those very early days of the school when it was Los Angeles State College of Applied Arts and Sciences. He then continued to do graduate work in business administration at UCLA, where he specialized in the fast developing new field of decision theory which included Baysian probability techniques, linear programming, game theory, and queuing. While Bill was studying at UCLA he was also teaching at Cal State L.A. In the following years he was instrumental in bringing instruction in these subjects into the curriculum of the business administration degree. The course that grew into Quantitative Methods in Business became a required course for the major in business administration before such material was a requirement for business majors at other area universities. During this period he authored a booklet on annuities that greatly clarified this material for students and was of considerable help in teaching it. He was involved in developing the summer sessions and extension programs for the University and was named Director of Summer Sessions and Extension. In 1978 Bill retired from Cal State L.A. He and Mary Ludwig were married and they went to live in Columbus, Ohio where Mary had accepted a position. In the ensuing decade they were in Chicago; Bridgeport, Connecticut; and St. Paul, Minnesota as well as at several other locations. Bill taught occasionally during these years; however, in 1991, Mary suffered a fatal heart attack in Milwaukee, and Bill returned to Los Angeles. In 1993 he and Helen were remarried, but, sadly, shortly thereafter he developed the first signs of myasthenia gravis. He is survived by Helen and their son, Dr. David C. Bright. The Emeritimes, Fall 1995 HARRY K. THRASHER, Emeritus Professor of Education, 1966-1976, died May 6, 1995 after a brief illness. He was 82 years of age. Harry was born in Illinois, the son of teachers whose experience encompassed instruction in one-room schools. His father organized the first unified school district in Illinois and later held the post of State Supervisor of High Schools for Illinois. Growing up as a schoolmaster's son in Illinois small towns, and graduating from Springfield High School as the Great Depression hit hard in rural America, Harry Thrasher seemed predestined for a career in education. He attended the University of Illinois, where he earned his B.S. in zoology, with minors in botany, psychology and history. His extracurricular activities were playing clarinet in the band, which provided a scholarship that paid his tuition of $25 per semester and boxing, which he pursued until he encountered some long-armed Italians in golden glove competition in Chicago. After that experience, he told those attending his Cal State L.A. retirement party, "music became my sole extra-curricular strength." With the depression still raging, Harry reported "it had its impact on my views and activities." He included student teaching in his course of studies in his senior year at the University of Illinois. Harry remembered his first depression-days teaching job for which his first paycheck was a tax anticipation warrant for $85, subject to a 5% discount at the local bank. "But," he said, "I was rich; no one in town had cash." As Harry became well launched into his career in education, he took other important steps in his life. In successive years, he married Lillian, whom he had known since his high school days, in 1939; registered for the draft in 1940; completed studies for his M.A. degree in 1941; and volunteered for service in the U.S. Army in 1942. He attended Officer Candidate School at Camp Roberts in California and served on the staff of the Inspector General at Fort Benning, Georgia, leaving with the rank of Captain upon returning to civilian life in 1946. After two years as a school administrator in Illinois, the Thrashers headed west to California, first as principal-teacher and then as Superintendent of the Arroyo Grande Schools at the time of the Korean War when Vandenberg AFB expanded and the student enrollment exploded. This meant new schools, funded by tax drives and bond issues, all of which Harry was proud to recollect were successful. Feeling the need for a change of venue after 12 years at Arroyo Grande, Harry accepted appointment as Superintendent of U.S. Navy Schools in Japan. He and Lillian spent six enjoyable years living in Yokohama, getting to know the Japanese people and their culture, while administering the schools for children of American occupation forces throughout Japan from 1960-66. Upon returning to the U.S., Harry decided he wanted to add another experience to the fulsome round of challenging education tasks in which he had engaged. He found it at Cal State L.A., joining the faculty of the School of Education, where he specialized in teacher training until his retirement in 1976. At his retirement party, Harry concluded his remarks with these words: "I believe in the American schools and in particular the rights of the students therein. Dynamic as always and a challenge to all teachers, a good part of their discipline problems are teacher problems. I believe that all administrators should teach as well as administer. I always did, and it kept me close to the community. I believe in my country and the importance of education for survival." A highly active person, Harry kept going in his retirement years, delving vigorously into the history of the American Civil War, growing orchids, participating in lawn bowling, and continuing his lifelong devotion to classical music. In fact, he missed a lawn bowling date on the day he died. In addition to his wife Lillian, Harry leaves a sister, Mrs. Dorothy Jerald, who lives in El Cajon, California. The Emeritimes, Fall 1995 JESSIE GUSTAFSON, Professor of Business Education, 1952-1967, an outstanding educator, died on July 16, 1995 at the Solheim Lutheran Home at the age of 95. She joined the Los Angeles State College of Applied Arts and Sciences faculty in 1952 when the college was located on the campus of Los Angeles City College. Gustafson organized the Department of Business Education and served as its first chair, laying the groundwork for one of California's outstanding business education programs. Jessie was born in Michigan, where she began her education. She joined her parents in California after completing two years of undergraduate work at the University of Minnesota. Jessie was accepted at Stanford University, which accepted only five women each year. However, because she could not find suitable housing, she enrolled at USC, where she earned a bachelor's degree in economics. Gustafson first worked in industry for International Kinema Research, Shell Oil Company, and the Department of the Interior Petroleum Administrative Board. While at Shell, she worked on her master's degree in education at USC. At USC, she was persuaded to take a position at Fullerton Junior College, teaching and managing the student branch of Security National Bank. She was granted a one-semester leave from Shell, but she found banking and teaching challenging and so she never returned, remaining at Fullerton for 13 years. She completed her doctorate at UCLA in 1952 and came to CSLA, where she remained until her retirement in 1967. As chair for 12 years, Gustafson developed the Department of Business Education into one of the outstanding such departments in the country, a remarkable feat considering the great strengths of the two crosstown business education programs. She was a superb organizer who found her job complicated in the early years on the present campus by the facilities, or lack thereof. She bought her own steel files and used "drawers" made from apple boxes courtesy of the local supermarkets. Gustafson was a dedicated teacher. Her teaching evaluations attest to the fact that she was demanding, but also highly respected and very well liked. Between 1965 and 1971, in the interest of department evelopment, she traveled throughout the U.S. and Europe, to Sweden, Austria, France, Switzerland, and Spain, attending business education meetings. Included were three international meetings of the World Conference of Organizations of the Teaching Profession. She was a member of nearly all professional organizations related to business education. She was very active in local memberships and continued her involvement well after her retirement. Memorial services were held on August 16 at Hollywood Lutheran Church where Jessie and her family were charter members. The Emeritimes, Winter 1996 HOWARD E. WILKENING, Professor of Psychology, 1948-1974 died on October 191995 in Solvang from complications of a stroke. He was 85 years of age. Wilkening joined the Cal State L.A. faculty in 1948 as a member of the original academic staff when the Los Angeles State College was established, and later served as chair of the Department of Psychology. Howard graduated from New York University with a B.S. degree in 1933, and went on to obtain an M.A. from the University of Colorado in 1939. Returning to New York University, he completed the Ph.D. in 1941. During World War II Wilkening worked as an operations analyst in the Army Air Corps and was awarded a citation from the War Department after the end of the war. He did social work in New York City and also taught at Purdue and USC before his appointment at CSLA. Wilkening was the author of three books, editor of the Scanstyles journal, and was associate editor of the Journal of Marriage and Family Living . He served as a consultant to Bobrick Manufacturing Corporation in North Hollywood for four decades and as a director of the Mental Hygiene Clinic of the Los Angeles Orthopaedic Hospital for two years. For 10 years he was head psychologist at the Los Angeles Child Guidance Clinic. When he retired in 1974, Wilkening was the faculty member with the longest tenure at CSLA up to that time. Howard was well known for his hobby, oenology, the science and history of wine. As an expert, he gave many lectures on this subject to faculty groups. He is survived by his wife, Laura; two sons, Gregory and Peter; and two daughters, Barbara Ahem and Carol Vilas. The Emeritimes, Winter 1996 MONA PAULEE, Professor of Music, 1972-1987, was born in Canada but grew up in Portland, Oregon where her father had a theater. She started singing in a local restaurant and on the radio. From Portland she went to San Francisco where her operatic career began, singing with the San Francisco Opera. In 1942 she won the first Metropolitan Opera Radio Audition; the co-winner was Robert Merrill. Both were given a contract with the Metropolitan Opera Company. During the 1940s and 1950s, Paulee was a star with the Met. She was a mezzo-soprano and one of her most famous roles was Carmen. While at the Met she developed a close and lasting friendship with another famous diva, Nadine Conner. During this time Paulee was often heard in the Metropolitan Opera broadcasts that aired on Saturdays. Her husband was an aviator, so he often flew her from one appearance to another. She left the Met to star in the Broadway production of Most Happy Fella. In the course of her musical career, Paulee also sang in the Community Concerts series through Columbia Artists. During the summer she performed in Europe and throughout Central and South America. She won several awards for her expertise in diction of foreign languages. Mona came to Cal State L.A. first as a part-time teacher in the Department of Music and then went on to a full-time position in which role she taught voice and gave opera workshops. She was extremely knowledgeable of the entire field of music. In 1988 she retired from Cal State L.A. She passed away in September, and is survived by her daughter, Lani, and two grandchildren who live in Palmdale, where Mona also lived for a number of years. The Emeritimes, Winter 1996 JAMES F. RICHMOND, Professor of Geology, 1955-1970, founder of Cal State L.A.'s Geology Department, died on August 281995 as a result of complications after injuries he sustained during a fall while on a visit to Idaho. He was 86 years old. Jim was born December 30, 1908 in Walla Walla, Washington. He earned a bachelor's degree at Whitman College, master's degree at Pomona College, and doctorate at Stanford University. He served in the Navy from 1942-44. Richmond came to Los Angeles State College in 1955 and remained until his retirement in 1970. He spent the last 15 years in Carmel. He was a member or the Senior Golf Group at the Pacific Grove Golf Course, and enjoyed local geology. Jim took special pleasure in music. At one point during his long and varied life, he had been a musician on a cruise ship. In more recent times, he enjoyed early jazz and singing in the Hacienda Chorus. He also was a season ticket holder at the Monterey County Symphony. Richmond is survived by two brothers, George, of Honolulu, and Charles, of Olympia, Washington. The Emeritimes, Winter 1996 HOWARD H. EARLE, Professor of Criminal Justice, 1975-1993, who had an illustrious career in law enforcement and went on to chair the Department of Criminal Justice at Cal State L.A., died recently (1995) at San Gabriel Hospital at age 66. The cause of death was cancer. Earle received his bachelor's, master's, and Ph.D. degrees from USC. He believed today's law enforcement officer needs knowledge in many areas, including law, medicine, and welfare. He joined the Sheriff's Department as a deputy in 1951, rose rapidly through the ranks, and in 1972 was named Assistant Sheriff to Sheriff Peter Pitchess. Earle's responsibilities while with the Sheriff's Department included supervision of the Sheriffs Academy, the largest peace officer training facility in the U.S. Initially he instituted a rigid military type system, but his own research which formed the basis for his Ph.D. dissertation completely reversed his thinking and his department's policy. He concluded that "the results were irrefutable. The non-stress group are the bestand the happieston the job." He went on to write three text-books on this and related subjects: Police Recruit Training, Policy Community Relations, and Student Instructor's Guide on Community Relations. After resigning from the Sheriffs Department in 1975, Earle came to the Cal State L.A. Department of Criminal Justice and subsequently served as its chair. He was also a consultant to groups in 83 countries and was a delegate to the Beijing International Police Science Research Exchange Program in 1993. Howard is survived by a daughter, Debra, of Sacramento; two sons, Lawrence, of Rowland Heights, and Brad, of Upland; a stepson, Dean Pinsak, of Australia; and seven grandchildren. The Emeritimes, Winter 1996 E. KENNEDY COBB, Professor of Accounting, 1958-1987, died on October 16, 1995 of pancreatic cancer. Ken received his B.S. from the University of South Carolina and M.B.A. from Northwestern University. He earned his California C.P.A. in 1957. Prior to coming to Cal State L.A., Ken taught at UCLA, Bradley University, and Northwestern. He began teaching at CSLA in 1958. Cobb's 29-year association with the School of Business and Economics included service as Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies and Chair of the Department of Accounting. His contributions to the University, school, department, and professional community were extensive. As department chair, Ken was instrumental in the development of an outstanding Department of Accounting. As associate dean, he had great skill in developing administrative procedures. Among his responsibilities was the planning of South Tower, now Simpson Tower, with Floyd Simpson. He was in charge of the school's move from King Hall to Simpson Tower. Ken was also heavily involved in the campus conversion to the quarter system and in articulation among the various departments within the school. Ken was a consummate professional and, most importantly, an extraordinarily fine human being. He was very well liked and respected. Cobb was interred in Columbia, South Carolina, his birthplace. The Emeritimes, Winter 1996 RICHARD ARVIDSON, Professor of Geography, 1968-1989, passed away at age 57 on September 22, 1995 in Cathedral City after a long battle with illness. He was born on February 18, 1938, and received a B.Sc. in Geology from Witwatersrand University in South Africa in 1959. He obtained a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University and became a member of the CSLA faculty in the fall of 1968; he was promoted to full professor in 1978. In 1989 he retired from teaching due to his failing health. Arvidson was an outstanding instructor in the department. Throughout his career at Cal State L.A., he consistently received superlative teaching evaluations in all his classes. He was a serious and very dedicated teacher. Even with his failing health in his last few years at CSLA, he never ceased to prepare multicolor study guides and exercises for all his classes; he continued to advise students in their programs, their theses, and their special projects. Arvidson trained as a geomorphologist and did research on surface drainage connectivity in the Arkansas River Drainage, on physical urban blight in the Hollywood area, and in the recreation trails of the Santa Monica Mountains. Arvidson's leadership and administrative abilities had been recognized by his colleagues; he served twice as chair and twice as associate chair of the Department of Geography and Urban Studies. He will be remembered as a masterful teacher, outstanding administrator, and serious researcher by his students and col-leagues. He is survived by his sister, Adrienne, of Ontario, Canada. The Emeritimes, Winter 1996 GEORGE ROLLING, Associate Librarian and Humanities/Social Sciences Librarian, 1959-1988, was born October 20, 1926 in Pasadena. He attended Southern California schools including Pasadena City College, Occidental College, and USC. His qualifications ranged from a California general secondary credential to a master's degree in library science. He was a member of numerous academic honor societies. Rolling worked in the Pasadena City Schools Adult Education Office from 1949 through 1952, and served on active duty in the U.S. Naval Reserve from 1952 through 1954. He worked at the Los Angeles Public Library during 1954-55 while attending library school at USC. He then worked at the Long Beach Public Library from 1955 through 1959. In July 1959 Rolling accepted a position at Los Angeles State College. It was at this institution that he spent the remainder of his career. He initially worked in the Catalog Department and later began serving as a reference librarian in 1972. His subject specialties included political science, history, sociology, and social work. He held this post until his retirement in August 1988. Beginning in the 1950s, George enjoyed extensive visits with relatives in England and Scotland. These visits ultimately translated into a leave of absence during his professional career, giving him the opportunity to serve a one-year appointment as a catalog librarian at Brunel University, Middlesex, England from September 1970 through August 1971. Interestingly, George wrote an article about this experience upon his return to CSLA. The article, "An Angeleno at Uxbridge: A Year as Cataloger at Brunel University", was published in California Librarian in January 1972. George later made return trips to England before and after his retirement. One can celebrate the life of George Rolling by reading in his own words about his experiences at Brunel in England. His article communicates the enthusiasm of a man with an encyclopedic knowledge who was extremely interested in his profession and his English heritage. The Emeritimes, Winter 1996 JOHN CONRAD BUSHMAN, Professor of English and American Studies, 1953-1976, died December 15, 1995 at the age of 81 following a lingering illness. Bushman was born in Chicago in 1914, attended the University of Michigan for two years, then transferred to the University of Illinois, where he earned his B.A. in 1936, M.A. in 1937, and Ph.D. in 1943. While at the University, he met and married Betty Jane Nelson in 1938. Bushman taught for a brief period at the University of Illinois and for seven years at St. Louis University, before he accepted a position at the young California State College, Los Angeles, where he rose to the rank of professor. He taught for a year on a Fulbright appointment in Buenos Aires (1959), and interested himself in the general study of American popular culture. He retired in 1976. While living in Illinois, Bushman was part of the group of Chicago writers that included Nelson Algren, James T. Farrell, and Jack Conroy. As a scholar and teacher, he pioneered the study of the fiction of Stephen Crane at a time when Crane was regarded as a literary lightweight whose work was undeserving of academic study, and on the graduate level offered seminars on Ralph Waldo Emerson and Mark Twain. Over the course of his career he published four books, all in collaboration with department colleagues. They were widely adopted and went through a number of editions. Bushman is survived by his wife, Betty; two daughters, Dr. Luanna Cabrera and Mrs. Lynn Bommer; seven grandchildren; and one great-grandchild. The Emeritimes, Winter 1996 ELISE S. HAHN, Professor of Speech Pathology, 1963-1977 in the Department of Speech Communication and Drama, died December 8, 1995 in Monterey, California at age 84. Hahn was born on June 26, 1911 in Los Angeles. She received her B.A. degree from UCLA, M.A. from Wayne University, and Ph.D. from Northwestern University. She taught at CSLA for 15 years and at UCLA for 18 years. Among Hahn's considerable accomplishments is having served as president of the national Speech Association of America (now Speech Communication Association) for 1958. She also received national honors in hearing and speech and a California State award for hearing and speech. Hahn is survived by her longtime companion, Laurie Schumann, of Carmel; a son, Eugene, of Underwood, Washington; and three grandchildren. The Emeritimes, Winter 1996 LESTER HIRSCH, Emeritus Professor of Physics, 1960-1986, died on February 27, 1996 as a result of the massive injuries he sustained in a felonious assault on November 29, 1995. He had stepped outside his home in West Hollywood to check on a loud disturbance and was struck by at least two assailants. He suffered a stroke from the injuries to his head, but rallied from a coma during his stay at Cedars-Sinai Hospital. However, he remained unable to speak and was completely paralyzed on his right side. Colleagues who visited him later at a North Hollywood care facility believed that he recognized them and heard their words. Lester joined the Cal State L.A. Physics Department in February 1960, following his service on the faculty of East L.A. College. He made his career teaching the multitude of nonscience majors who took beginning physics for general education. His ability to communicate the joys as well as the ideas of basic physics knowledge to students who knew little science, and initially cared less, was unsurpassed. His demonstration apparatus was a mainstay of his teaching, for which he characteristically put showing above telling. Many of his demonstrations are now housed in Physical Sciences 453, which was dedicated as the Lester Hirsch Exploratorium when he retired in 1986. He continued to teach part time at both CSLA and UCLA until his tragic injuries. For the University community, Lester' s most extensive service was as a member of the University-Student Union Board. That service was recognized after his retirement by the dedication of the second-floor open space as the Lester Hirsch Program Area. It was the site of a campus wide party hosted by the Union in April 1995 to celebrate his 80th birthday. Lester was active regionally and nationally in the American Association of Physics Teachers. He was instrumental in organizing and maintaining the Southern California section of AAPT, and served as the section's representative in the national council for many years. The national Association honored him with its Distinguished Service Award in the early eighties. In the West Hollywood community Lester was a long-time civic leader, active in the successful campaign for its incorporation as a city, and he served on the City Council for several years. He worked continually to preserve neighborhood values in an area that became all too attractive to disruptive forces. His assailants remain at large, unidentified. He is survived by his son Timothy, his brother Robert, and two stepsons. His funeral was held on March 3, 1996 at Mount Sinai Memorial Park. The Department of Physics and Astronomy has created a memorial scholarship in his memory, for which donations may be made to Friends of Physics-Hirsch Memorial Scholarship and sent to the department. The Emeritimes, Spring 1996 JANE MATSON, Professor of Counselor Education, 1958-1980, a member of the Department of Counselor Education faculty at Cal State L.A. for 22 years, passed away in Pasadena on February 2, 1996 after having suffered from leukemia for two years. Matson was born in Kirkwood, Illinois. After completing her early studies there, she attended the University of Chicago, obtaining her B.A. in 1935. She then attended Stanford University, completing an M.A. in 1952 and an Ed.D. in 1955. Prior to coming to CSLA, she served as a counselor with three federal agencies and taught at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa and Diablo Valley College in Concord. In 1958 she was appointed to the CSLA faculty and in the following year she became a licensed psychologist in the State of California. Matson' s primary area of academic endeavor was the training of counselors for two-year community colleges. She was active in this work virtually until the time of her death. At CSLA she headed the program in this field. Among her other accomplishments was her development of the first federally funded institute to prepare community college student personnel workers. Matson carried out and published many studies on community college personnel work and was honored by the American Association of Community Colleges.

Tony was born in New York City on September 13, 1926 to Costa Rican immigrants. He and his family moved to Los Angeles after he finished elementary school. He graduated from Dorsey High School in 1944, entered the U.S. Army Air Force, and remained on active duty until the end of World War II. He was in the active reserves until 1956. Joining the many thousands of other veterans attending college after the war, Tony majored in biochemistry at USC, completing a B.S. degree in 1950 and continuing on to the Ph.D. in 1955. In that same year, he accepted an assistant professorship at L.A. State College in both chemistry and microbiology. During his 37 years at the University, Tony was instrumental in building the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry into an outstanding one, all the while combining the highest level of teaching with administration and an enormous amount of research. He had a large impact on the development of the natural science areas of the University and was one of its earliest champions who persuasively argued for the teacher-scholar model for faculty at this institution, and one of its finest exemplars. He advised his students not only regarding program choices but for career development as well. He sought out disadvantaged students, particularly minority undergraduates and graduates. He made sure that they were involved in significant research and included them as coauthors in journal publications and presentations at meetings. Tony's profound influence on the professional development of generations of biochemistry and microbiology students who collaborated with him in the research lab is evidenced by their positions as deans and professors in academia, practitioners in the medical and dental professions, and professionals in the biochemical/biotech industry throughout Southern California. Tony maintained several grants at any given time to support student research efforts, provide economic support for them, and give them the opportunity to travel to meetings. He enjoyed continuous funding by the National Science Foundation for over 35 years, a good level of funding from the National Institutes of Health for 24 years, and five years of support from NASA. There is probably no other laboratory in the country that has trained as many undergraduate Hispanic biochemists. As a result, his former students are scattered across the country as deans, faculty members, postdoctoral students, and graduate students. In recognition of his contributions to teaching, research, and the University as a whole, Andreoli received the Cal State L.A. Outstanding Professor Award in 1969 and was nominated for the CSU Trustees' Outstanding Professor Award in 1979 and 1983. After his retirement in 1992, Tony kept his participation in biochemical research current and continued to publish and participate in symposia, often as an invited speaker. He had numerous publications, continuing well into the 1980s and '90s. The investigations reported in these publications continued the work that he pioneered in the 1960s. Andreoli was the recipient of many awards, among them the Distinguished Service Award of the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science, 1991 American Association for the Advancement of Science Mentor Award, and 1992 Service Award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences of the National Institutes of Health. He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Frances; daughter Francesca; and son Anthony. The Emeritimes, Winter 1997 SAXON C.

Before coming to CSLA, Sax taught at Beverly Hills High School from 1935 to 1950, where his fame as a basketball coach began. He was responsible for the school's unique Swim-Gym, a retractable gymnasium floor above a swimming pool (featured in the movie, It's a Wonderful Life). The SwimGym was the first facility to use glass basketball backboards which have become standard for collegiate and professional games. In 1950 Sax left Beverly Hills High to become head basketball coach at Los Angeles State College of Applied Arts and Sciences. During his tenure as coach, he led the basketball team to several championships. His invention of the square on the glass backboarda device to aid improvement in shooting basketsand the multicolored basketball were widely adopted, and are credited with advancing the sport. In fact, Sax introduced many innovations that have been accepted and an occasional one, such as fluorescent striping on the court, that did not catch on. He was instrumental in bringing the full court press strategy to the West Coast as well. He was kind of a dreamerhe was always coming up with interesting new ideas for improving and making basketball an even more exciting game. While still coaching, Sax started the Department of Health Science at CSLA and developed it into a major program. Further, he began the occupational safety program and also introduced driving instruction into state curricula. He retired from coaching in 1962 and from the University in 1978.

This included being a member of the Pasadena Art Museum and a charter member of that facility, being a member of Kappa Delta Pi, Southern California Alumni Chapter, and of many other groups. She retired in 1972 and in retirement devoted a great deal of time to serving as a Christian Science practitioner. The Emeritimes, Winter 1998 GROVER BROOKS, Associate Librarian,1981-1994, passed away from Hodgkin's disease on June 14, 1997 in Dayton, Ohio. Grover was the University Library's subject specialist librarian for education, as well as Spanish and French languages and literature, from 1981 through 1994. In this position he established a strong rapport with students and faculty by assisting them with their many reference needs. Before coming to Cal State L.A., Grover provided reference service at the Wright State University Library from 1978 to 1981. He received a Master of Science degree in library science from the University of Illinois in 1978 and held a Master of Education degree, also from Wright State University, awarded in 1972. He received his baccalaureate degree from Kent State University in 1965. Grover took early retirement from Cal State L.A. in 1994 for health reasons. The Emeritimes, Winter 1998 GEORGE M. FRANCIS, Professor of Accounting, 1949-1976, one of the early Los Angeles State College faculty members, having arrived just two years after its founding, died in November, 1997. The funeral was held on November 17 at St. Phillip' s Catholic Church in Pasadena. Francis retired in December 1976 after 27 years of teaching. He was one of a handful of the Vermont Avenue faculty who were instrumental in the development of a highly regarded Department of Accounting that graduated large numbers of successful CPAs and business accountants. Although George had a long career in accounting at the University where he specialized in tax law, his training was very broadly based. He had a background in literature, archaeology, and philosophy which he taught several times. He was a long-time advocate against excessive specialization. In fact, his academic degrees-B.A. in 1941, B.S. in 1942, M.S. and M.Ed. in 1953, all from the University of Southern Californiawere in English and education, with a heavy concentration in accounting. He obtained his CPA in 1948 from the State of California. Prior to coming to Cal State L.A., he held accounting and managerial positions with U.S. Rubber, Los Angeles City Schools, and several accounting firms. Before that he supervised the education of Air Force recruits and civilian personnel during World War II. Francis was heavily involved in the development of the School of Business and Economics, and he participated in a number of professional associations in his field, including the American Institute of CPAs, The California Society of CPAs, The American Accounting Association, The Controllers Institute of America, and the National Accounting Association. The Emeritimes, Winter 1998 HOWARD L. SCHUG, Professor of Electrical Engineering, 1958-1971, died last March 1997, shortly before his 98th birthday. Schug obtained a B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Lafayette College in 1922 and became a registered professional electrical engineer in California in 1961. He was instrumental in founding the Cal State L.A. chapter of Tau Beta Pi, the engineering honor society, and for several years served as its adviser. Schug was also instrumental in having a brass plaque and sculpture of the Tau Beta Pi symbol erected in front of the engineering building. The Emeritimes, Winter 1998 WILLIAM (BILL) EMMONS LLOYD, SR., Publications Manager and Professor of Administration, 1959-1977, died February 21, 1998 in South Pasadena from lung cancer at the age of 87. Lloyd was educated at the University of Virginia and taught history and coached at Manassas, Berryville, and Fluvanna County high schools. He left education to become a journalist, and was a reporter and editor for the Petersburg Progress Index and Richmond News Leader . During World War II, Lloyd served as lieutenant (jg) in the U.S. Navy, on the communications staff of Admiral Chester Nimitz. He served two years on active duty (1944-46) and five postwar years in the Naval Reserve. He later established the office of school-com-munity relations for the Richmond public schools (first in the southeastern U.S.), and wrote and edited publications for the American Association of School Administrators in Washington, D.C. Bill Lloyd spent the last 18 years of his career as publications manager and professor of administration at Cal State L.A., where he taught, developed information services for news media, and edited campus publications. A resident of South Pasadena, he was a civic leader, managing and coaching in the South Pasadena Little League. He was also active in the Pasadena City College Community Education Advisory Board, Pasadena Headstart Council, Friends of the South Pasadena Library, Red Cross, and St. James Episcopal Church. Following his retirement from the University, Lloyd became active in the Emeriti Association. He was the founding editor of The Emeritimes. It was he who gave the publication its character, format, and professionalism, and for years he supervised all aspects of its contents. Lloyd is survived by his wife Bobbie, four children, 10 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held at St. James Episcopal Church on February 26. Donations may be made to the fellowship created in Bill Lloyd's honor for students of history and government at Cal State L.A. or to St. James Episcopal Church. The Emeritimes, Spring 1998 JAMES G. DUNKELBERG, Professor of Physical Education, 1958-1987, a 28-year veteran of the Department of Physical Education, passed away in February, 1998 in Desert Hot Springs, California. He came to Cal State L.A. in 1958, having completed an Ed.D. that year at the University of California, Los Angeles. He received a B.S. degree in 1949 from Northwestern University and an M.S. degree in 1953 from UCLA. Dunkelberg was active in all branches of university life: teaching, research, administration, academic governance, and community recreation agencies and professional organizations. He was coordinator of men's physical education and served as chair of the Department of Recreation and coordinator of the interdisciplinary program in recreation and leisure studies. Professionally, Dunkelberg organized workshops and consulted with various community agencies and school programs. Among the professional groups with which he was involved are the American Alliance of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance; National Recreation and Park Association; California Parks and Recreation Society; Society for Parks and Recreation Education; and California Society for Parks and Recreation Education. He was a thorough and capable statistician and researcher as well as a competent analyst of adapted physical activity for therapeutic benefit. Dunkelberg participated in department, division, and school committees including the Division Curriculum Committee, Division Advisory Council, Division Personnel Review and Promotion Committee, school and department Student Affairs Committees, school and department Faculty Affairs Committees, school and department Instructional Affairs Committees, school Retention, Tenure and Promotion Committee B, and Committee A of the Department of Nursing (alternate). At one time or another, he was a member of all department committees for recreation and leisure studies. On the university level, Dunkelberg served on many committees including College Curricula Committee, Subcommittee of Policy of Credit by Examination, College General Education Committee, Joint EPC-FAC Ad Hoc Committee on Student Faculty Ratio, Budget Subcommittee of FAC, Athletics Board, Faculty Affairs Committee, Committee to Select Outstanding Professor, All College Curriculum Committee, Trustees' Outstanding Professor Awards Selection Committee, and Instructionally Related Activities Advisory Committee. In all respects, James Dunkelberg' s contributions were many and highly significant to the welfare of the University. The Emeritimes, Spring 1998 DAWN M. PATTERSON, Dean of Continuing Education, 1984-1996, died December 14, 1997 at The Scripps Home in Altadena after a short illness. A memorial service was held on January 9, 1998 at The Church of Our Savior in San Gabriel; interment took place at Johnstown, New York. Patterson, a resident of South Pasadena for 19 years, was born in Gloversville, New York. She received a bachelor's degree in education from SUNY-Geneseo and a master's degree and Ph.D. in administration from Michigan State University. From 1974 to 1977 she was a graduate assistant at Michigan State. She was higher education consultant for the Michigan Governor's Task Force from 1977 to 1978. Patterson moved to California in 1978 and served as assistant dean of continuing education at the University of Southern California, where she engaged in postgraduate studies. She became dean of continuing education at Cal State L.A. in 1984 and served until 1996. Following her service at the University, she worked as vice president of external affairs at West Coast University. Patterson had numerous external affiliations. She served as president of several organizations: the Zonta Club, American Association of University Women, Los Angeles Industry Education Association, and California Colleges and Military Educators Association. She was a member of Rotary International, life member of Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society, and member of the Phi Beta Delta International Scholars. Patterson is survived by her parents, Robert and Dora Patterson, of Gloversville; daughter Adrienne Royce of Ann Arbor, Michigan; son Nathaniel Hollenbeck of Lake Orion, Michigan; four brothers and three sisters of Gloversville and Johnstown, New York; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. The Emeritimes, Spring 1998 BUTRUS ABD AL-MALIK, Professor of History, 1969-1990 had already served nearly a normal lifetime of distinguished scholarship and teaching when he came to California State University, Los Angeles in 1969 as a Distinguished Visiting Professor of History at age 60. He had been professor of Bible and translation at Asyut College, 1935-37; professor of Hebrew and Old Testament at Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Cairo, 1937-48; and professor of Oriental studies at American University in Cairo, 1948-69. He was also visiting professor at Hartford Theological Seminary and Princeton University. Fortunately for Cal State L.A., Daniel Crecelius had been his student at Princeton and was able to invite his former professor here in 1969 as a visiting professor. That year was so satisfactory to all that he remained until his retirement in 1990 at age 81. At his retirement party he was presented with a volume published in his honor, Eighteenth Century Egypt: The Arabic Manuscript Sources , edited by Crecelius. Abd al-Malik died July 12, 1998 and was buried July 17 in West Covina. The History Department has established a scholarship fund in his honor. When asked about his personal philosophy, he replied, "I live by teaching. I don't know what to do without teaching. I plan to teach as long as I am able to, until I am 80, at least." He achieved that target and more, and never missed a class in his entire career until he was hospitalized by cancer. Even then he made heroic efforts to meet nearly every class while he was in chemotherapy. Students appreciated his efforts. His dean called him "the most beloved teacher whom I have ever known." He was famous for his opening day tour de force, in which he provided the etymology of the name of every student in the course, which would often be more than 100 in a large lecture hall. Years later, students who had been in a huge class would be overwhelmed when he would call them by name as they passed on campus. He professed to love "each and every student," and he proved it. His course, the Life and Times of Jesus Christ, was an especial delight. An unprecedented legion of students followed him to whatever courses he taught, whether in history, religious studies, philosophy, or Arabic. Faculty from a variety of disciplines and administrators often sat (or even stood) in his classes to learn from him. He attracted to his classes students from other campuses, and he was also frequently invited to offer courses at area universities. He has taught courses in Arabic, Coptic, Aramaic, and Hebrew languages, as well as English. He was also fluent in Greek and Latin. He was respected internationally as a scholar of the Bible, an authority on early church history, a linguist and humanistic professor. The most memorable of his countless scholarly publications is the modern Arabic translation of the Bible from original Greek and Hebrew sources. This has a companion aid, the Dictionary of the Bible in Arabic. In his letter supporting his colleague for the California State University Outstanding Professor award in 1985, John Allswang speculated that "the concept of 'Outstanding Professor' better fits him than any academic I have ever known." In addition to that nomination, Abd al-Malik was campus Outstanding Professor in 1973, and won the Silver Medal of the Council for Advancement and Support of Education in 1986. An ordained Presbyterian minister, he was a member of the campus ministry during his 22 years at Cal State L.A. He served churches, colleges and community organizations through frequent lectures, sermons, and courses on religion. The Emeritimes, Fall 1998 GERHARD ALBERSHEIM, Professor of Music, 1956-1970. Emeritus colleagues who had sent Christmas cards to Gerhard Albersheim learned belatedly of his death last year (1997) at a retirement home in Arlesheim, Switzerland. He had lived in Switzerland since his retirement as professor of music in 1970. A Ph.D. from the University of Vienna, Albersheim joined the Los Angeles State College faculty in 1956. He performed frequently on the piano, both as soloist and accompanist. Eminent soloists whom he accompanied included Jussi Bjoerling, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Lauritz Melchior, Ezio Pinza, and Elizabeth Schumann. He was honored by the campus as Outstanding Professor in 1968. Albersheim had been hidden from the Nazis in Vienna by the woman who became his wife, Erna. When he came to the United States for a position in the Los Angeles Conservatory at UCLA, she agreed to move here on the condition that they return to Europe when he retired, so that she could be with her children from an earlier marriage. They moved to Basel, Switzerland in 1970, where he remained until her death. Albersheim remained active as a pianist and interpretation coach for most of nearly three decades in Switzerland. He wrote The Emeritimes frequently to report on lieder recitals, soloists whom he accompanied, teaching, lecturing, and especially the accomplishments of his students. During the 1980s he published Die Tonsprache (The Language of Tones) and a second edition of Psychology of Music , which was first published in 1974. He always concluded with a request that his good wishes be extended to emeriti and other colleagues. The Emeritimes, Fall 1998 JOHN R. COX, Professor of Finance, 1955-1983, came to California State University, Los Angeles in 1955 after having completed a B.S. at Indiana University in 1947 and an M.B.A. at the University of Chicago in 1948. He received his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Southern California in 1962, already having acquired a C.P.A. license in California in 1951. John was an early inductee into the U.S. Army Air Corps. He served over a four-year period during which time he rose from private to lieutenant colonel. For a good part of this time he was with the 57th Bomber Wing. When asked in which area he wished to work, he said that he would like work as a clerk. However, he scored very high in the sciences and mathematics on the battery of tests that inductees had to take, so without any further consultation with him, he was assigned to meteorological school and became trained as a weather forecaster, a field that John said made for rapid promotion. There followed a highly adventuresome set of incidences during which his first lieutenant was lost; as a result, it fell to John to set up the first weather station. During his long tenure at the University, Cox contributed to the School of Business and Economics and the University in a variety of ways. Perhaps the most important of these was his influence in curriculum matters. It was John who headed complete program revisions that had to be made to conform with the demands of accreditation reviews. It is impossible to describe the time and energy he spent on these projects, but in each case the results were un-qualified successes, and he continued to be part of the school even after retirement. As Hugh Warren, acting dean, said, "He came back to teach part time in finance after he retired until last year when his illness had taken its toll." A colleague, Mohammad Ala, stated that he believed Cox to be the most hardworking individual in the whole school. "We used to spend most of our lunch breaks together, and he was always working on a special project." Ala has created an initiative to name one of Cal State L.A.'s conference rooms after Cox, as well as naming a scholarship in his honor. Among his contributions to the University, John Cox served as president of the Emeriti Association for 10 years. John passed away on April 24, 1998 at the age of 79 after a short illness. Memorial services were held on April 29 at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier. The Emeritimes, Fall 1998 SOLOMON DIAMOND, Professor of Psychology, 1949-1971, the first recipient of the Outstanding Professor Award from the Trustees of the California State Colleges, died of natural causes at his home in Berkeley in July, 1998. He was 91 years old. He was honored by the Trustees in 1964. Born in New York City in 1906, he graduated from New York University in 1928 and received the doctorate from Columbia University in 1936. Diamond was a professor of psychology at Cal State L.A. from 1949 until his retirement in 1971. As one of the earliest faculty members, he shaped the character of the Department of Psychology and, to a great extent, the University as well. He was chairman of the first President's Faculty Council in 1956-57 and for years was active in the Academic Senate and its committees, especially the Committee on Academic Freedom and Professional Ethics. He was president of the campus AAUP. He gave the first lecture in the Letters and Science Distinguished Lecturer Series. He continued to teach a course, History of Psychology, in retirement until 1986. After a part-time appointment in which he served as associate chair to write the department's self-study report, he ended his teaching association with the University "because I have a strong personal need to get back to neglected research and writing chores." A former president of Division 26 (History of Psychology) of the American Psychological Association, Diamond personified scholarship. He was a widely recognized scholar who read five languages with facility. His voluminous scholarly publications spanned more than 60 years. His published books were Personality and Temperament (1957), Information and Error (1959), Inhibition and Choice (1963), The World of Probability: Statistics in Science (1964), and The Roots of Psychology (1974). He was the author of innumerable journal articles and invited addresses. He traveled through Europe during a sabbatical leave in 1964 to purchase nearly 400 rare books that represented the original sources essential to the history of psychology. These books became the basis for lectures in the History of Psychology course that he taught for many years. His huge library of rare books, including many medieval texts, has been donated to the Archives of the History of Psychology at the University of Akron. He is survived by his wife of 70 years, Florence, also a psychologist, and by a son and grandchildren. His son aptly summed up Sol Diamond: "He could argue passionately about the mistranslation of foreign language footnotes but also liked to paint the big picture, and his historical bent helped expand the study of the history of psychology beyond an original focus on the 19th century." Michael Roffe, a former student of Diamond's and now chair of the Department of Psychology, declared that "all of us who had the good fortune to know Sol as teacher, colleague, or friend will feel the loss of this valued member of our profession." The Emeritimes, Fall 1998 ARTHUR J. BENSON, Emeritus Associate Professor of Philosophy, 1960-1990, died on September 14, 1998 at the age of 81 after a tenacious seven-year battle with cancer. A senior member of the Philosophy Department at Cal State L.A., he joined the faculty in 1960, and after a three-decade period of distinguished service, retired in 1990. He spent his entire faculty career at Cal State L.A. Born and raised in Canada, he received a B.A. in chemistry from the University of Toronto and an M.A. in philosophy from Columbia University, winning scholarships along the way at both universities. Later he did extensive additional study at Harvard and the University of California, Berkeley. Arthur's interests were extraordinarily comprehensive. In addition to his abilities in philosophy and chemistry, he was active in dramaengaging in writing, acting, and stage-craft. At the end of his academic career, his fascination with the theater led to three years of joyful participation in the University's opera productions. Benson's scholarly endeavors focused increasingly on the philosophic work of his great teacher Rudolf Carnap. He edited a Carnap article for publication in a prominent journal. A revised and enlarged version was subsequently published on the eminent philosopher in 1975. He edited and annotated another Carnap essay in German on metaphysics. But it was as the indefatigable bibliographer of his mentor that Benson excelled. His major achievement was his lengthy annotated and authoritative "Bibliography of the Writings of Rudolf Carnap," published in The Philosophy of Rudolf Carnap , edited by Paul Arthur Schipp, Volume II of the world-renowned Library of Living Philosophers series. Also Arthur's passionate interest in books inspired him to heroic labor on behalf of the University Library in general and its philosophy component in particular. He chaired the University Library Policy Committee for many years, and as the Department's long-term library coordinator, built the Library's philosophy holdings into one of the best in the California State University system. A gentleman and scholar, Benson was first and foremost a dedicated teacher, devoted both to the content of his courses and the students he instructed. A resolute defender of the highest academic standards, he was demanding of himself and those he taughthe was rigorous, meticulous, fair, helpful, and extraordinarily generous with his time. An apt assessment of our colleague as a philosopher was made by one of his former professors at Berkeley. In addition to declaring that Benson had "one of the best philosophic minds in the business," he pointedly remarked that "[Arthur] is just about sui generis ." The Emeritimes, Winter 1999 LYLE HANNA, Emeritus Professor of Education, 1960-1974, died at his home in Prescott, Arizona on August 7, 1998, at the age of 83. He was born February 12, 1915 in Tempe, a son of Frank and Lura (Wickliffe) Hanna. Lyle was a dairy farmer in Tempe before attending Arizona State University to become an educator. He taught school for many years in the Tempe/Phoenix area before moving to California in 1959 after he received his Ed.D. from Arizona State. Hanna joined the Cal State L.A. faculty in 1960, where he taught educational administration. He also served as assistant dean of the division. Following his retirement in 1974, he and his wife moved back to Arizona and established a real estate business, first in Phoenix and later in Prescott. He retired again in 1997. Lyle was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served as a counselor in a stake presidency, and a stake patriarch in four stakes. He had given almost 1,000 patriarchal blessings during his many years of ministry. Hanna is survived by his wife Polly, daughter Tina, and son Richard, who continues in the realty firm. He also leaves three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. The services in Tempe were private. Memorial donations may be made to Yavapai Regional Medical Center Hospice in Prescott. The Emeritimes, Winter 1999 RALPH MORITZ, Librarian, 1955-1975, was born in Waterloo, Iowa on November 16, 1912. He earned a bachelor's degree at Iowa State Teachers College (now the University of Northern Iowa) in Cedar Falls. He taught at the high school level for one year in a small Norwegian farming community in northeastern Iowa. He then enrolled the following year at the University of Denver's Library School and earned a graduate degree in library science. Ralph's first position as a professional librarian was as cataloguer at Iowa State College (now Iowa State University) at Ames. During World War II, he served in the Army Intelligence Signal Corps in North Africa and Italy. Following the war, he worked for a short time at the Detroit Public Library before accepting a position in the Music Copyright Division of the Library of Congress where he remained for several years. During this time he was active in various choral groups at Washington National Cathedral. Moritz was appointed to the Cal State L.A. faculty as catalog librarian in January 1955. He subsequently became the chief of cataloging services. He was active in the Music Library Association and was for many years the compiler of the annual index of the Association's publication, Notes . He retired in 1975. In retirement, Ralph traveled extensively until his health deteriorated. He particularly enjoyed his trips to Italy. He was a talented pianist and continued to pursue his musical interests, particularly Wagnerian operas and the music of Bruckner. Moritz died in August 1998, leaving a sister in Florida and a younger brother in San Diego. The Emeritimes, Winter 1999 NORMAN L. FRIEDMAN, Professor of Sociology, 1968-1998, graduate adviser of the Department of Sociology, died November 4, 1998 at home, of cardiac arrest. Friedman came to Cal State L.A. in 1968, and has held many positions in the Department of Sociology, including chair, associate chair, principal adviser, and, most recently, graduate adviser. A popular, professor, he was often sought after by students to serve on their M.A. thesis committees. He rarely turned them down, resulting in being the only faculty member who was on every thesis committee in the department for the past five years. Besides being a dedicated teacher, Friedman also had a passion for acting. A member of the Screen Actors Guild, he appeared in a number of TV commercials and movies, including Arnold Schwarzenegger's The Terminator. He often delighted his classes on mass communications and public opinion by showing some of the film clips in which he appeared in various roles. A productive scholar throughout his academic career, Friedman has more than 50 titles under his name. Some of his articles, such as "The Hollywood Actor: Occupational Culture, Career and Adaptation in a Buyers' Market Industry" (1990) and "Defining the Characters and their Situations in the Production of Television Culture" (1993), are good examples of how Friedman integrated his considerable inside knowledge of the entertainment industry into sociology scholarship. Universally well-liked by his colleagues, Friedman was regarded as a "gentleman scholar." He was the "father figure" in the department, respected for his counsel, fairness, and institutional memories of the department. Friedman is survived by his wife Susan, who is an adjunct faculty member in the Sociology Department, and daughters Rebecca and Sham. The family has requested any memorial donations be made to the Norman L. Friedman and Susan Schuller Friedman Memorial Scholarship Fund, in care of the Department of Sociology. The Emeritimes, Winter 1999 VINCENT ARTHUR GIROUX, Emeritus Professor of Electrical Engineering, 1957-1984, died of illness on January 20, 1999. An adjective that could be applied to Vincent Giroux is stalwart. The many responsibilities he assumed over the years were all given an honest, careful, and continuing effort. His dedication to learning can be seen in the record of the regular upgrading of the more advanced courses dealing with power engineering, in his association with the MGM/ GATE and MESA programs, and in his presentation of regular and special topic courses at local universities and colleges. Vince was a consultant in the power engineering field and made special studies at a number of installations, mainly along the Pacific coast. After service in the Navy during World War II, Vince obtained degrees from UCLA and USC and worked as an engineer for the Edison Company and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power for a total of eight years. A registered professional engineer, he joined the faculty of the then Department of Engineering as an electrical engineer in the fall of 1957. During his years of service with the University, Vince helped establish and advised a local chapter of Eta Kappa Nu, the student Electrical Engineering honor society; was chair of the Department of Electrical and Cornputer Engineering; and served on the Senate, Committee on Committees, Committee on Academic Freedom and Professional Ethics, and other standing committees of the Senate. He also was active in the American Association of University Professors. His professional activities included membership in the Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE); he was variously member, secretary, and president of the IEEE L.A. Metro Section and he was a member of the College of Fellows of the Institute for the Advancement of Engineering. Vince retired from the University at the end of the fall quarter 1984 and was granted emeritus status. He continued teaching through FERP until 1990. After his retirement, Vince continued to broaden his horizons as he and his wife, Dodie, traveled extensively, visiting most of the continents of the world. He is survived by his wife, eight children, and grandchildren. Services were held on January 29 at Saint Monica's Catholic Church followed by interment at Holy Cross Cemetery, Culver City. Memorials may be sent to Parkinson's Net-work do Cliff Terry, 1715 Indian Wells Way, Clayton, CA 94517. The Emeritimes, Spring 1999 IRIS TIMSON GWINN, Professor of Education, 1956-1972, and her sister, Gladys Stevenson, were killed in an auto accident on January 5, 1999. Memorial services were delayed pending the recovery of C. H. "Steve" Stevenson. A professor of education at Cal State L.A. from 1956 to 1972, Timson taught courses mostly in elementary education at the graduate level. She also developed the TEAM program, an innovative on-site teacher training program based in El Monte. It was a model for many such programs around the country. She is remembered as a fun person to be around, full of innovative ideas right up to the day she retired. Iris had never been married, until one day when she announced that, not only was she going to retire, but she was going to marry a man she had known all her life. They moved to Grass Valley in northern California and lived there happily.

A campus memorial was held for him on May 24 at the University-Student Union. Hugh Bonar III showed many slides illustrating his father's life and was the principal speaker. It was followed by a reception. Bonar was appointed to Los Angeles State College of Applied Arts and Sciences in September 1954. He retired in September 1996 but continued to teach until Winter Quarter 1999 through the Faculty Early Retirement Program. He was unable to complete his assignment for that quarter, being placed first in intensive care and then a nursing home. He died at his Altadena home, in the care of his son Hugh III. He received B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in history at the University of Wisconsin from 1947 to 1952. His doctoral thesis was on Joaquin Murat. Before studying at Madison he served in the U.S. Army Air Force in World War H. He met his first wife Eva while serving in Germany. He taught European history, with greatest interest in the French Revolution and in World War II. He also conducted frequent courses based on film history. Through his efforts, students from throughout the campus were able to view rare and historic films. He published articles on the French Revolution. He traveled widely, giving papers in France, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Czechoslovakia and Spain. He attended college classes while on sabbatical in France. Bonar was film review editor and frequent book and film reviewer for Mankind magazine. He served on many committees at all levels of the University, most notably his frequent service on personnel committees, chairperson of the Assembly of the School of Letters and Science, and extensive service in the Academic Senate. He was elected by several departments as an outside member of promotion or tenure committees. Former wives Eva Bonar and Penelope Bedell survive him. Eva is the mother of Eva Theresa Abrams, and Penny, now living in Maine, is the mother of Hugh III, a musician and writer for local publications; Samantha, employed at the Los Angeles Times; and Elizabeth Blanton, who just completed her Ph.D. in astronomy at Columbia and has a faculty appointment at Carnegie Mellon University. She is the mother of Bonar's one grandchild, Alexander. A fund has been established for a scholarship in Hugh Bonar's name, and friends and colleagues are encouraged to donate to this scholarship, which the Department of History will endow in his name. The Emeritimes, Fall 1999 WINONA N. BROOKS, Professor of Home Economics, 1959-1983, died May 13, 1999 at age 80 in an Alhambra retirement home. She taught for 21 years at the college and high school levels before coming to Cal State L.A. Winona was chair of the department from 1978 until her retirement. She received her B.S. degree in 1939 at the University of Tennessee, her M.S. in 1955 at the University of Alabama, and her Ph.D. in 1968 at the University of Southern California. Her emphases in home economics were historic costumes, textiles, and textile chemistry. She was an avid ornithologist who traveled widely to observe birds and their migratory habits. She is survived by a daughter, Julie, and a granddaughter, of Alhambra; two brothers and two sisters in Tennessee; and a sister in Illinois. The Emeritimes, Fall 1999 AARON KRIEGEL, Emeritus Associate Professor of Education, 1956-1986, passed away in his sleep on November 24, 1999. He served on the faculty of Cal State L.A. in the Department of Elementary Education from 1956 to 1986, and continued part time for several years thereafter. He was dedicated to the education of elementary teachers, and periodically substituted in local public schools to maintain his own skills for supervising the field work of teachers-in-training. Many student teachers as well as their master teachers have paid tribute to him as a significant influence in the development of their professional competencies. Aaron was born in New York on March 9, 1921, and was educated in New York schools. He attended New York University until his army service in World War II. After his discharge, he received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Miami in 1947 and a Master of Arts from Los Angeles State College in 1953. Aaron is survived by a daughter, Marlies Worley, and two grandsons, Aaron and Michael. Marlies said at the time of her father's death, "There wasn't a time in my life that education wasn't one of the main topics of discussion. He embraced the mysteries of life and love almost effortlessly. Aside from education, his major interests were politics, little theater, classical music, tennis, and ballroom dancing. There was never a greater father and grandfather." The Emeritimes, Fall 1999 DAVID J. BOUBION, JR., Dean of Students and Associate Professor of Social Work, 1969-1989, died of a stroke in May 1999 at the age of 72. In his later years before retirement, he was also associate vice president for student affairs. He was also an associate professor of sociology until his transfer to the new Department of Social Work. He was in the forefront in the mediation of many campus disputes during the strident 1970s. Boubion was born and raised in Boyle Heights and received his B.A. in social work at Los Angeles State College in 1955. He received the M.S.W. at the University of Southern California in 1957 and the Ph.D. at Claremont Graduate School in 1976. Before his return to Cal State L.A., he devoted nine years to the Peace Corps, first as regional director in Panama and Guatemala and then in Washington, D.C. as director and public relations officer for Central American Operations. Before that, he served in the Navy in the South Pacific during World War II. An active supporter of the Democratic Party, Boubion served as field deputy for Councilman Edward R. Roybal, and in 1776 he was named by Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr. as one of the first non-lawyer members of the State Bar of California Board of Governors. He ran twice, unsuccessfully, for public office, for the Community College Board of Trustees and for the California State Assembly. He was an active contributor to the Catholic Youth Organization and Neighborhood Services for Youth in East Los Angeles. Boubion is survived by his wife of 46 years, the former Tola Cortez, living at Rancho Palos Verdes; daughters Monica Gardet of Bern, Switzerland and Camille Brown of Discovery Bay, California; sons David of Gothenberg, Sweden and Michael of Point Mugu; three brothers; six sisters; and 10 grandchildren. The Emeritimes, Fall 1999 HECTOR SOTO-PEREZ, Professor of Chicano Studies, 1971-1996, died this spring 1999. He taught as a part-time faculty member in Fall 1970, and then was appointed to a tenure-track position and as acting chair in Summer 1971. He retired in 1996. Soto-Perez received his B.A. in 1951 and M.A. in 1954 from Mayor de San Jose in Mexico. He also received the M.A. in 1970 from UCLA and Ph.D. in 1973 from the University of Southern California. The Emeritimes, Fall 1999 EDWINA C. GREENWALT, widow of Emmett A. Greenwalt, emeritus professor of history, and herself a member of or Emeriti Association since her husband's death, passed away on October 24, 1999 from complications of acute peritonitis. She was born in Soso, Mississippi in 1919, grew up in New Orleans, met Emmett in California in 1943 while he was serving in the U.S. Army, and married him in 1944. When Emmett joined the Department of History five years later, Edwina joined the newly organized Faculty Wives Club. She was its president in 1964-65 and was an active member of this University service club, later known as the Faculty Women's Club, for many years. She and Emmett are survived by their son Franklin. The Emeritimes, Winter 2000 WILLIAM A. MAYS, Professor of Industrial Education, 1956-1980, born in Alabama in July 1916, passed away in California last September 1999. He had been a professor in the Department of Industrial Studies at Cal State L.A. from 1956 until his retirement in 1980. Bill served his department outstandingly as the organizer of its student orientation and advisement program. He instituted many new and unique techniques for student advisement. He earned the reputation of being available to students at all times. Bill was very active on campus, serving on many of the faculty committees and providing support for some of the student religious clubs and department student groups. Bill received his bachelor's degree from Auburn University in Alabama and served as the first and organizing president of the Auburn Wesley Foundation. He received his master's degree from Oregon State College and his Ph.D. in Education in 1954 from Ohio State University. He joined the faculty at Cal State L.A. in 1956. While Bill was serving in the Navy in San Diego during World War II, he met his wife Addie in 1943 at the San Diego Asbury Methodist Church. Both Addie and Bill were unselfish church leaders ever since. During his years at Cal State L.A., he was very active in the Long Beach First Methodist Church and served the Methodist church in many appointed and elected leadership positions. As particularly active leaders in a "Feed the Mind Mission," an outreach program for Nigeria, Addie and Bill made five trips to Nigeria. They sponsored Nigerian students in completing their college education in the United States, and extended a helping hand in many ways to the Nigerian people both in this country and at home. They organized and sponsored book collections for schools in Nigeria, with over 10.000 books and a variety of educational materials sent. The Nigerian people awarded Bill the honorary title of "chief professor" as a title of respect and appreciation. Bill and Addie also served in coordinating a program of visits to the United States by students from Seiwa College of Japan. They arranged for host families and informational trips and visits. Their outreach was international. Throughout Bill's career, he was active in many professional organizations. He served on many committees and had many leadership responsibilities. He was a member and leader in the California Industrial and Technology Education Association, Epsilon Pi Tau, the Cal State L.A. Emeriti Association, and various other organizations. One of Bill's hobbies was collecting antique tools. His garage became a museum quality display of his collection. It was a pleasure to be invited to see and discuss the uses of some of these very old hand tools. William A. Mays is survived by his wife of 54 years, Adelene R. Mays, to whom we extend our deepest sympathy. The Emeritimes, Winter 2000 EDWARD F. ABOOD, Emeritus Professor of English, 1963-1991, died in his San Marino home this January 000, after a long battle with cancer. Ed was born in 1925, one of six children of Lebanese emigrants who had settled in Ohio. He saw service in the U.S. Navy during World War II, and afterwards attended the University of Chicago where he earned his B.A. and M.A. degrees. From 1955 to 1962, the year in which he completed his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago, Ed taught English at Wilson Junior College in Chicago. The following year, 1963, he began his nearly 30-year career in the Department of English at Cal State L.A. In every significant way, both as a teacher and a scholar, that career was a most distinguished one. Central to Ed's scholarship was his abiding interest in the insights into literature offered by Jungian analysis. This approach resulted in a number of publications in such journals as The Southern Humanities Review and Psychological Perspectives . Ed's major contribution to his given field is his book, The Underground Man , a study of eight significant contemporary writers, which he saw as operating within a tradition exemplified by Dostoevsky' s Notes from the Underground . The book was published in 1973 and has since gone through several printings. Ed also published many review articles, participated in symposia on campus, and delivered lectures off campus, including a year-long series of monthly talks on "the contemporary theater" for radio station KPFK. At the time of his death, Ed had brought to near completion a book of essays on the nature of women in major works of world literature. Ed was surely one of the most dynamic instructors in the English Department and one of the most respected. He taught a wide variety of courses with great success, but his upper division surveys of the European novel and drama and his graduate seminars on such figures as Kafka, Camus, and Dostoevsky were always among the most popular and highly praised offerings in the department. To know Ed was to recognize that the same intensity and openness that characterized his professional life defined his life generally. His responsiveness and his commitment to his family and his friends, to the pleasures of art and travel, in fact to whatever the day- to-day might bring him, was total. To the many who loved and admired him, he is sorely missed. Ed is survived by his wife, Sally, three sisters, and three stepchildren. The Emeritimes, Spring 2000 HOMER T. BEATTY, Football Coach, 1963-65; Professor of Physical Education, 1963-68; and Athletics Director, 1968-71, born August 31, 1915, in Maricopa, California, died of natural causes on March 16, 1999, in Long Beach. Beatty began his long and successful career as a football coach in 1940 at Porterville High School, then coached the future USC and professional football star Frank Gifford when the latter was a student at Bakersfield High. He achieved fame as a winning college coach at Bakersfield College and especially at Los Angeles State, when the Diablos, in just three years, won 25 games and lost only 2, with a national college division title. Deacon Dan Towler, also a former football great and a Cal State L.A. campus minister, officiated at a memorial service held on March 23. Homer Beatty is survived by his son Steve and three grandchildren. Many "old-timers" who remember the excitement of the L.A. State football program in the early 1960s will heave a sigh and drop a tear at the news of Homer's passing. The Emeritimes, Spring 2000 PERRY L. EHLIG, Emeritus Professor of Geology, 1956-1992, died suddenly on December 26 2000 after a brief illness. He is survived by his wife Marilyn, five children, and 11 grand-children. Ehlig completed his undergraduate and graduate studies at UCLA, receiving his Ph.D. in 1958. He began his Cal State L.A. career in 1956, rapidly rising through the academic ranks to become chair of his department from 1967 to 1970. He also served a brief period as assistant to the vice president for academic affairs and acting dean for instructional affairs. Perry Ehlig was known for his encyclopedic knowledge of the geological sciences. He taught advanced courses in structural geology, engineering geology, field geology, and petrology. He served as thesis adviser for a large number of students pursuing M.S. degrees. He taught the department's summer field course many times, and established himself as an extremely charismatic and devoted professor. Ehlig was extremely active in geologic research and professional consulting. He was a registered geologist and certified engineering geologist in the State of California. He was a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Association of Petroleum Geologists, American Geophysical Union, American Mineralogical Society, Association of Engineering Geologists, National Association of Geoscience Teachers, and Society of Economic Paleontologists and Mineralogists, and a Fellow of the Geological Society of America. A Ph.D. thesis on the Pelona Schist in the San Gabriel Mountains provided the start for Perry's research career. Continued mapping made him the foremost authority on the complex geology of the basement terrains of the San Gabriel Mountains. Extension of his work to the San Andreas Fault resulted in matching rock types between the San Gabriel Mountains and areas adjacent to the Salton Trough. His work on these projects played an important role in our understanding of the plate tectonic history of southern California. The results of these studies appeared in 40 publications. Perry also had an intense interest in engineering geology. His work on the Portuguese Bend Landslide in the City of Rancho Palos Verdes began in 1956 and probably stands as the longest continuous study of an active landslide by any geologist on Earth. His work on the Palos Verdes landslides was done on a volunteer basis for the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, (the) Abalone Cove Landslide Abatement District, and (the) Klondike Canyon Geologic Hazard Abatement District. Professor Ehlig retired from Cal State L.A. in 1992 and became professor emeritus. The Perry Ehlig Scholarship was established at that time to honor Perry and carry on his personal tradition of paying the tuition for all students attending the summer field course. Perry continued teaching on a volunteer basis after his retirement, presenting up to three courses per year. He continued to advise graduate students and teach courses into his 44th year of service to Cal State L.A. while also being extremely active in his research on the geology of southern California and the Portuguese Bend landslide. Anyone wishing to make a donation to the Perry Ehlig Scholarship should contact the Geological Sciences Department. The Emeritimes, Spring 2000 PAUL T. MCELHINEY, Emeritus Professor of Marketing, 1968-1983, and former chair of the Marketing Department, passed away this past May 2000 following a series of strokes. Paul taught at Cal State L.A. from 1968 to 1983. A specialist in transportation, logistics, and interstate commerce regulation, he received his B.A. and M.A. from the University of Washington, and his Ph.D. from UCLA. His teaching career included Arizona State, the University of Denver, UCLA, and the University of Washington. For a time in the 1960s, he was dean of the business school at Tri-State University in Indiana. A well-known consultant and a prolific writer, he authored or co-authored a number of texts in his field of specialization. Following his retirement, Paul and his wife Mary moved to Eugene, Oregon, where he refocused his interest in transportation by building an extensive model railroad. Paul was an outgoing, warm person, who genuinely enjoyed sharing his knowledge and love of transportation with both students and professionals alike. John Kirchner, professor of geography, stated, "I personally owe him a great debt, for our mutual fascination with transport transcended discipline boundaries, and helped to make my career at Cal State L.A. possible. He leaves his wife Mary, three daughters, five grandchildren, and two greatgrandchildren. The Emeritimes, Spring 2000 JANICE ELAINE DAY, Professor of Dance, 1960-1986, died on April 29, 2000 after aggressively fighting cancer. She was an only child, born on March 23, 1928. Her life was theater and dance. From the time she was very young, she studied many dance forms, starting at Virginia Tanner's Creative Dance Studio in Salt Lake City. Jan received her B.F.A. in 1951 from the University of Utah, with a major in theater and a minor in dance. Following graduation, she studied in New York and Europe. Her first teaching position was at Smith College in Northampton, where she also choreographed and performed. In 1955, she completed a Master of Arts degree in television at Michigan State University, with a minor in folklore. From 1955 until she accepted a teaching position at Indiana University, Bloomington, in 1957, she was very involved in dance in Salt Lake City. In 1958, she received a Fulbright grant to study, choreograph, and perform in West Germany. Jan began her long career at Los Angeles State College in 1960. One of her first assignments was to develop a course---Art, Music, and Dancewhich all students were required to take. The lectures were on television along with five weeks of activity in each of the arts. Jan had a vision to develop a curriculum that would provide dance students with an opportunity to immerse themselves in all aspects of dance. For many years, the dance faculty brought professional dancers to Cal State L.A. for summer workshops and booked dance companies in the State Playhouse. For more than 26 years, Jan directed and choreographed for the Orchesis Dance Performing Ensemble. She was a consummate artist. She turned the dance studio into a theater, designing the lights, curtains, seating, and floor surface, as well as preparing the programs and sewing costumes. In 1966, while continuing her position at Cal State L.A., Jan became a founding member of the Bella Lewitzky Dance Company, and remained with the company for nine years. In the early 1970s, she was instrumental in the formation of the California Dance Educators Association. Throughout her life, Jan was concerned with the effective, efficient, and sensitive use of dance movement, and experimented with methods of developing and maintaining dance technique "without pain." Jan retired from Cal State L.A. in 1986 but continued to teach one quarter per year until 1995. During this period, she established the Dance Improv Collective Workshop, taught in Hong Kong and Sydney, Australia, and continued in her quest to "learn to dance without pain." The Emeritimes, Fall 2000 WILLIAM A. KNOKE, Emeritus Professor of Marketing, 1970-1982, died on April 29, 1999 at his home in San Diego. A veteran of World War II, Knoke was buried with military honors at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery at Point Loma. Knoke was born on May 13, 1914 in Knoke, Iowa, and received his bachelor's degree from the University of Iowa in 1935. After World War II and his three years of military service, he returned to the University of Iowa, where he earned his Ph.D. and subsequently taught marketing from 1950 to 1970, the year he was hired by the School of Business and Economics at Cal State L.A. He was a member of our faculty, teaching marketing, until his retirement in 1982. Knoke is survived by his wife of 64 years, Dorothy; son James, of Point Loma; and two grandchildren, Christine, of Yorba Linda, and Jeffrey, of Washington, D.C. The Emeritimes, Fall 2000 EDWARD M. GOLDBERG, Professor of Political Science, 1961-1996, who served in a variety of administrative and academic posts at California State University, Los Angeles, died on August 21, 2000 at the age of 69 from lung cancer. Ed was brought up in Brooklyn, New York, and received his B.A. in 1953 from Brooklyn College, an institution he often remembered with fondness. He received an M.A. from the University of New Mexico in 1956 and his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1965. He taught at the University of New Mexico, San Diego State University, the University of Southern California, and Cal State L.A., joining the faculty in 1961 and rising through the ranks from assistant to full professor. He was drafted to serve in the Army during the Korean War. Ed had a distinguished career on campus, where at one point he knew virtually every staff member and a good portion of the faculty as a result of his serving in several administrative and academic positions. He chaired the Department of Political Science from 1972 to 1977. He was assistant dean of the School of Letters and Science from 1968 to 1970 and associate dean of that school and its successor, the School of Natural and Social Sciences, from 1981 through 1989. He was a member of the Executive Committee of the Academic Senate for over a decade, and served as both vice chair and chair of that body. He was the Senate member on the President's cabinet and a member of virtually every Senate and administrative committee on campus over the course of his career. He chaired many of these. He received the campus' Outstanding Professor Award, the campus' highest honor, in recognition of his teaching, research, and service, in 1985. His was one of only four Outstanding Professor awards received by the more than 30 faculty who served in the Department of Political Science since the 1960s. Ed taught American constitutional law, judicial process, and comparative judicial studies over the course of his career. His senior seminar on legal research was renowned for the quality of its preparation among those students who went on to law school. Students who had to take the class at first feared him because of the demanding nature of the course, but many of those who completed it revered him. The workload was demanding; the standards, un-bending. Yet the many students who survived that class and went on to law school came back and told us that the legal research seminar was the most valuable undergraduate course in preparing them. Ed took particular pride in mentoring minority and female students, guiding many to professional and Ph.D. programs. Many of his students went on to successful careers in the legal profession and as faculty in political science departments across the nation. He wrote seven monographs, four book chapters, and a dozen articles in the areas of judicial process and comparative legal studies. He headed a research project on privacy and computers in the 1960s, which resulted in a book on the subject published in 1975. His work appeared in such journals as the Journal of Public Law , Southern California Law Review , American Bar Association Journal , Canadian Journal of Women and the Law , Urban Affairs Quarterly , and National Civic Review . He chaired a panel, presented a paper, or served as a discussant at more than 50 professional meetings, including the Research Committee on Comparative Judicial Studies of the International Political Science Association and the Western Political Science Association (WPSA). He was the president, vice president, and a member of the Executive Committee of the Western Political Science Association; his years as an executive in the WPSA are still remembered for their efficiency. He was an associate editor of the Western Political Quarterly in the 1980s. He was a member of the Research Committee on Comparative Judicial Studies of the International Political Science Association, and elected the president and vice president of the Southern California Political Science Association. He delivered invited lectures at the University of Notre Dame Law School, North Dakota State University, Kearney (Nebraska) State College, and Cal State L.A. Ed received three National Endowment for the Arts Summer Seminar fellowships, which enabled him to spend the summer studying subjects that were new to him. The one he particularly loved was a seminar on Shakespeare, where he specialized in the politics of Shakespeare's plays and characters. He served as a consultant or principal investigator on projects involving topics as varied as privacy and computers (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) and reapportionment (California State Assembly and Senate, UC Davis). He also served as a research associate at the Fels Institute of Local and State Government at the University of Pennsylvania and the Taxpayers' Association of New Mexico. This catalog of positions and activities makes too lightly of the fact that in a world of academic diplomats and soft-spoken people, Ed Goldberg was a lionin his views, his values, and even the volume of his voice. He spoke with gusto, representing traditional academic values with verve. He strongly believed in Cal State L.A.'s missionafter all, Brooklyn College, where Ed got his B.A., is much like Cal State L.A., an urban institution where most students are the first in their families to graduate from college. He believed in the faculty of this institution and in faculty governance, joint consultation, and decision making that he attempted to implement when he was chair of the Academic Senate. He will be missed in his department, in the Academic Senate, and in the University as a whole. He is survived by his wife Dorothy and two children, David and Natalie. The Emeritimes, Winter 2001 GEORGE GUSTAFSON, Emeritus Professor of Accounting, 1970-1983, died this past year (2000) in Michigan. Gus, as he liked to be called, received his B.A. from Michigan State University in 1941, MBA from the University of Michigan in 1947, and DBA from the University of Southern California in 1971. He became a CPA in Michigan (1955) and California (1959). He started his accounting career with the San Francisco General Accounting Office and moved up to the ranks of supervisor before he decided to go into education. Gus was truly a remarkable guy. He was instrumental in setting up a continuing education program for CPAs at Cal State L.A. The series was a huge success, with a weekend program that would run over several months. Hundreds of CPAs attended the program each year. He was able to get top speakers from large national accounting firms as well as top people from the Internal Revenue Service, U.S. General Accounting Office, and Securities and Exchanges Commission. He was one of the few professors who really understood the value of performance auditing, and was interested in getting this information out to the general audit community. Gus was active in the Association of Government Accountants, the American Institute of Certified Professional Accountants, and the California Society of CPAs, and contributed articles to their publications. During his retirement, he authored "Auditor's Legal Vulnerability," published by the Research Opportunities in Auditing Distribution Service for the Peat, Marwick, Mitchell Foundation. In 1996, he was honored by the Executive Committee of the American Accounting Association, which, in its special fall issue of Accounting Education News, awarded him a life membership in recognition of his long-term service to that organization. After his retirement and move back to Michigan, he served as program director of the Continuing Professional Education program for accountants and other professionals at Northern Michigan University. He was still going strong with continuing education programs at the University of Michigan at the time of his death. The Emeritimes, Winter 2001 HENRY JACKSON, Staff Pianist and Lecturer in Music, 1962-1990, long known on campus as a teacher and master of keyboard instruments, died on January 7, 2001 at the age of 90. Although he was considered academically ineligible for a tenured faculty appointment, he was a creative force in the instructional as well as performance programs of the Department of Music for more than 25 years. He was remembered with appreciation and affection at a memorial concert given by former students and colleagues on April 8, 2001, sponsored by Friends of Music. From his earliest years, Henry was too busy making music to stop for degrees. Starting at the age of 12, he served as the organist at his family's church in Princeton, Illinois. Then in 1925, at the age of 16, he entered the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago with a scholarship, and continued his studies there until 1934. Josef Lhevinne was one of his teachers. From 1934 through 1938, he followed the tradition of contemporary American musical artists by studying and performing in Europe, first in Berlin and later in Vienna. His career as a soloist included appearances with the Vienna, Budapest, and Prague Symphony Orchestras. He returned to the United States before the onset of World War II, and played as a soloist with the Chicago Symphony before beginning an even more distinguished career as an accompanist. In that role, he served as the supporting pianist for several Metropolitan Opera stars in their solo recitals, notably Nadine Connor, Martha Lipton, Bidu Sayao, and Giorgio Tozzi. Connor attended the memorial concert. In 1962, Henry began his Cal State L.A. career as a staff pianist; subsequently he was appointed to the faculty in a "temporary" position that lasted through the 1980s. Like most denizens of Chicago, New York, and major European metropolitan centers, he had never needed to drive and never learned. So he moved into an Alhambra house within walking distance of the campus. In addition to class and private instruction in piano, for which he became known informally as "professor of piano," Henry directed the Cal State L.A. Opera Workshop in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In the performances of classical operas, such as those of Mozart, he was neither on the podium nor backstage but in the pit, at the harpsichord, playing the accompaniment for the recitatives. He also appeared regularly with the University Symphony Orchestra in major piano concertos. Although the technicalities of his faculty position precluded the award of emeritus status to him, many emeriti will remember Henry Jackson for his friendship as well as his art. The Emeritimes, Winter 2001 RICHARD K. BROME, Reference Librarian, 1962-1987, died recently (2000?) after being bedridden for several years. He received his B.A. from UCLA and an M.S. from the University of Illinois. He came to Cal State L.A. in 1962 after working at UCLA. For a number of years, he was head of the Government Publications section and then later, the humanities librarian. Dick took early retirement due to some physical disabilities. His avocation was music, particularly opera, of which he was quite an expert. The Emeritimes, Spring 2001 THELL E. GLASCOCK, Criminal Justice, 1971-1999, died on November 20, 2000 in Salt Lake City, at the age of 63. The cause of his death was not disclosed. Long a resident of Costa Mesa, he had moved to Salina, Utah in 1998, following 27 years of faculty service at Cal State L.A. Born in Salmon, Idaho, he earned a Master of Public Administration degree from the University of Southern California, as well as a B.S. from Cal State L.A., before joining the Department of Criminal Justice in 1971. He taught more than 30 courses over the span of his career, and conducted management institutes for many law enforcement agencies in Southern California communities. He directed the G.E. Honors Program in the late 1980s. He was active in department, school, and University committees and served many as chair, including the Faculty Policy Committee. Thell was instrumental in organizing the Law Enforcement Education Program (LEEP) at Cal State L.A., which brought working law enforcement professionals to this campus for relevant coursework. He also developed an internship program with local law enforcement agencies to serve Cal State L. A. students enrolled in the criminal justice major. Having been elected to membership in The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, Thell was active in the campus chapter as a member of its executive committee. He served as treasurer, 1989-90; president-elect, 1990-91; and president, 1991-92; then later as secretary, 1995-97. Thell was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed motorcycling, fishing, camping, and horseback riding. One of his strongest interests was searching for ancient American Indian petroglyphs. He is survived by three children and 10 grandchildren. Memorial services were held in Richfield, Utah on December 4, 2000. The Emeritimes, Spring 2001 JUNE DEBODE OXSTEIN, Elementary Education, 1962-1986, a specialist in early childhood education from 1962 to her retirement in 1986, died on December 10, 2000 at her home in Santa Monica. During those 24 years of service to the University, she taught a variety of teaching credential program courses, developed the Early Childhood Education concentration in the M.A. in Education program, and, as a lover of the arts, collaborated with colleague Wanna Zinsmaster in drafting a new credential in Teaching and the Arts. A skilled and caring educator, she mentored some of her younger colleagues, including Judith Washburn. June was also an active participant in academic governance through her service on many faculty committees. In her department, she served as associate coordinator of the Inter-disciplinary Child Development Program Committee, which was responsible for the oversight of that program, and as an adviser to its student constituency. June DeBode was born on April 12, 1926, in Bowman, North Dakota, and moved with her family to Venice, California as a teenager. She earned her bachelor's degree from UC Santa Barbara in the late 1940s and was happily married to Walter "Herb" Oxstein. The marriage lasted until his death in 1999. Together they raised a family, a responsibility that did not prevent her from returning to college and earning a master's degree from Claremont Graduate School in 1962 and joining the Los Angeles State College faculty as an associate professor. In 1975, she was awarded her Ph.D. at the University of Southern California and was promoted to the rank of professor. An obituary in the Los Angeles Times provided by her son, David Richard Oxstein of Santa Monica, describes her as "a vibrant woman, who read, traveled, loved conversation and made many wonderful friends." Besides her son, she is survived by her father, Edward DeBode of Newberry, California, and two sisters, Beth DeBode Eide of Magalia, California and Beverlee DeBode Hooper of Richland, Washington. The Emeritimes, Spring 2001 J. MILDRED MCENROE. We have been informed by emeritus professor Thomas McEnroe that his beloved wife Millie (born Mildred Rose Brittsan in 1917) died of an intestinal disorder on February 22, 2001. Many of us knew her through her involvement in the Cal State L.A. Faculty Wives Club, where she served as one of its presidents and on the Bookreading Club, but she was a woman of many talents and several careers, starting with newspaper reporter on the police beat in Akron, Ohio. After World War II, Millie was a secretary in the Physics Department at UCLA, and she met and married Tom while he was a political science student there. In 1960, she came with him to Los Angeles State College and, while he taught in our Political Science Department, she earned bachelor's and master's degrees in history and a teaching credential, and she began another career as a nursery school teacher. When Tom retired in 1986, the couple moved to San Clemente. Millie joined the American Association of University Women and became active in local politics, working to promote a successful "slow growth" initiative and for the election of various city council members. In 1973, she contracted Alzheimer's disease and, two years later, Tom suffered a stroke. When he recovered, they moved to San Jose to live with their eldest son, Tom IV, pastor of the Calvary Church in Los Gatos. For the last 13 months, she lived in the Lincoln Glen Nursing Facility in San Jose. Besides the two Toms, Millie is survived by a second son, Patrick, and two grandchildren. The Emeritimes, Spring 2001 RICHARD GRENVILLE CANNICOTT, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, 1959-1983, died on August 29, 2009 at the age of 80. He had suffered from Alzheimer's disease for several years, and succumbed to its complications after only one day in a hospice. Dick was very active and highly esteemed at Cal State L.A. as a clinical psychologist. He joined the psychology faculty in 1959, following nine years in concurrent service as director of the Department of Psychology at Central State Griffin Memorial Hospital and as assistant professor of psychology at the University of Oklahoma, in Norman, Oklahoma. Dick's early career included service in the Navy during World War II. As an undergraduate student at Occidental College, he enrolled in the Navy's officer training program in 1941, immediately after Pearl Harbor. Upon receiving the B.A. in psychology and economics in 1943, he was commissioned as an ensign and remained on active duty until 1946. Subsequently, he earned the M.A. in 1948 and Ph.D. in 1950, both in clinical psychology, from the University of Iowa. He followed those academic attainments with California licensure as a psychologist in 1960 and as a marriage, family, and child counselor in 1971. Concurrently with his faculty service, Dick served as a clinical psychologist in the Naval Reserve, where he became a lieutenant commander. He also served as a senior mental health consultant to the Head Start program in Pasadena and as a field assessment officer for several Peace Corps training programs conducted at Cal State L.A. Following his work with the Associated Clinics, he was chair of the Psychology Department from 1967 to 1973. Retiring in 1983, Dick continued to teach part-time for the following 10 years. In 1982, Dick was married to the former Janet Ramsey, then a staff member for the Academic Planning group in Academic Affairs. Following their retirement in 1983, they moved from Montebello to Oceanside. He is survived by Jan and by five children from his and Jan's prior marriages. A memorial service was held on September 5 at the Eternal Hills Memorial Park in Oceanside. The Emeritimes, Fall 2001 THELMA GRAVES, Emeritus Assistant Professor of Home Economics, 1951-1963, died on August 14, 2000 in the skilled nursing facility at Sunny View Manor, where she had resided since 1987. She and her husband, former Cal State L.A. president Albert Graves, lived there together in the independent living facility until he died in 1992. Thelma continued to live in their apartment until November 1999, when it became necessary for her to move to the nursing wing because of declining health. She was 97 when she died peacefully in her sleep. The cause of death was heart failure. Thelma joined the Los Angeles State College faculty in 1951, when she and her husband, Albert Graves, were each offered a position. She was hired to organize a home economics department in connection with Los Angeles City College, whose campus L.A. State shared. The department grew from two courses in its first semester to achieving state accreditation in a short period of time. After that, she left her position as chair to concentrate on teaching, and was highly regarded by her students. In addition to her academic duties, Thelma served as president of Faculty Women and Faculty Wives. Thelma was very alert until the last year of her life, enjoyed her friends and family, read without glasses, and was content and happy. Her physical decline was rapid during the last six months of her life; however, she was pain-free and received excellent care. By her wishes, she was cremated and a plaque in her memory has been placed in the garden at Oak Hill Memorial Park in San Jose. The Emeritimes, Fall 2001 MICHAEL F. GRISAFE, Professor of Accounting, 1956-1975, was born on June 24, 1913 in Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Scottdale High School, Scottdale, Pennsylvania, in 1931 and received his Bachelor of Science degree from Bowling Green College of Commerce in 1934. In 1953, he completed his MBA at Northwestern University. From 1934 to 1940, he taught at Big Creek High School in War, West Virginia. From 1940 to 1944, he worked in Chicago in progressively responsible positions as an accountant, and in 1943, was licensed as a certified public accountant in Illinois. From 1944 to 1946, he shifted his accounting activities to Peoria, Illinois. From 1946 to 1956, he served as professor and head of the Department of Accounting at Bradley University in Peoria. While at Bradley, he developed internship training programs in public and industrial accounting. An early proponent of automation, he designed courses in business machines and punch-card accounting. He continued to work part-time as an accounting analyst for Sutherland Co. in Peoria. In 1956, Mike Grisafe heard that Dean of Instruction Albert Graves at Los Angeles State College was looking for accounting faculty. Mike wrote that he was interested in the new Ramona campus five miles out the Los Angeles business district. He also said the salary scale was attractive, and he negotiated a beginning salary of $5,232 for the academic year beginning September 1956. Floyd Simpson, chair of the Division of Business and Economics, advised that three- and four-bedroom houses in the area were going for $13,000 to $20,000. In California, Mike immediately became active in the professional business community. He soon headed a large work-study program at Los Angeles State and a program of meetings and conferences with local businesses. In 1960, he was promoted from assistant to associate professor, and in 1961 he returned to full-time teaching in the Department of Accounting. In 1969, he was promoted to full professor. Mike also brought his business experience to bear elsewhere on campus, serving on the board of the Credit Union and making improvements at the Financial Aid office. He retired in 1975. The Emeritimes, Fall 2001 ELISE S. HAHN, Emeritus Professor of Speech, 1963-1978, died at her home in Carmel on December 8, 1995. She was 84. She received her bachelor's degree from UCLA, master's degree from Wayne State University, and doctorate from Northwestern University. Her teaching career began at UCLA, where she was a member of the speech faculty, which was at that time part of the English Department. According to Robert Ringle, a former UCLA faculty member specializing in speech pathology, Elise was a talented teacher and clinician, specializing in the treatment of stuttering. Her book, Theories of Stuttering , was one of the standards in the field. In a small number of pages, she, in collaboration with her late husband Eugene, summarized the work of between 30 and 40 theorists who had written on stuttering. While at UCLA, she was the second woman to become president of the Speech Communication Association. In the early 1960s, when UCLA's English Department was divesting itself of areas such as speech communication, speech pathology, journalism, and linguistics, Elise worked with an interdisciplinary team that included faculty from psychology, linguistics, and the medical school to establish a program in communicative disorders. Ringle saw her as a strong personality and an advocate of the importance of teaching in a research-dominated institution. However, when negotiations to create a separate communicative disorders department collapsed, she joined the Speech Department. Elise's commitment to teaching led her to leave UCLA in 1963 after 18 years of service and join the Cal State L.A. faculty in the Speech and Drama Department. During her 15 years at Cal State L.A., she was instrumental in moving the communicative disorders area of that department to the School of Education, where she championed the role of speech correction in the public schools. Ringle remembered her as a "woman with a mission" to bring the communicative disorders discipline to the fore within the academy. After she retired, Elise lived in Carmel with her longtime companion, Laurie Schumann. She is also survived by her son Eugene and three grandchildren. The Emeritimes, Fall 2001 JOHN L. HOUK, former Dean of Academic Planning and Emeritus Professor of Political Science, 1971-1983, died May 15, 2001 in La Crescenta at the age of 80 from esophageal cancer. John served in Europe during World War II in the 92nd Bomb Group of the Army Air Corps. During the course of the war, he was shot down and decorated for bravery. After the war, he received his B.A. cum laude from the University of Southern California (USC) in 1948. He began his career as an analyst of Far Eastern affairs in the Legislative Reference Service of the Library of Congress from 1950 to 1953. From 1953 to 1957, he held several positions at USC, administering the international programs of the School of Public Administration in Iran, Brazil, Iraq, Kuwait, Pakistan, and other nations. He was also a Herman Fellow and a Haynes Fellow. In 1957, John left USC to serve 10 years as a researcher and division chair at the Center for Research on Strategic Studies at American University in Washington, D.C. While at American University, he was an instructor at the University of Maryland between 1960 and 1965. He finished his Ph.D. in 1966 at USC. He left Washington, D.C. in 1967 to become the founding dean of the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences and professor of political science at the University of Guam, where he stayed until 1969. John also served as the founding dean of the School of Business and Economics at Humboldt State College in 1969-70. He spent the next year, 1970-71, as the deputy state university dean, instructional programs, in the California State University Chancellor's Office. John came to Cal State L.A. in 1971 and served as dean of academic planning on the campus from 1971 to 1980. In early 1981, he came to the Department of Political Science as professor of political science and taught full-time until his retirement in 1983. He then taught part-time each year in the early retirement program until the late 1980s. John wrote a number of monographs on "psychological operations" in several Southeast Asian nations, as well as two entitled "The Soviet Propaganda Program" and "Tensions Within the Soviet Union" in the 1950s. While at American University and the Legislative Reference Service, he wrote many reports on various Asian issues for members and committees of Congress. He taught courses on world politics, the American federal system, the politics of China and Southeast Asia, comparative politics, and introductory American politics. John was known as a consultative administrator, a tactful, diplomatic, perceptive and sensitive person in dealing with both people and issues. He had many skills in mediation, conflict resolution, and developing compromise on contentious issues. He was truly a person who tried to work out the inevitable difficulties between administration and faculty governance. He was a champion of human rights in each of his positions. When John came back to the department in 1981 as a faculty member after many years in administration, his colleagues noted the enthusiastic way he generously and helpfully involved himself in department issues, matters, and committees, while enthusiastically "retooling" himself for teaching. John was a beloved colleague and true partisan of the university, a man whose calm and friendly nature and many skills, enthusiasms, and experience will be missed by his colleagues. The Emeritimes, Fall 2001 THOMAS MCENROE, Emeritus Professor of Political Science, 1960-1985, died on May 22, 2001. Tom received B.A. and M.A. degrees from UCLA in 1951 and 1952, respectively. He then left California and completed his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota in 1960. Under the direction of Mulford Sibley, Tom completed his thesis, which he later described as "universally acclaimed as the greatest dissertation on the Political Theory of the Wobblies that was accepted on August 4, 1960, anywhere." Even in official documents, Tom was unable to suppress his wry sense of humor. From 1957 to 1960, Tom was an instructor at Wayne State University in Detroit. When the opportunity to leave the cold and snow of the Midwest arose in 1960, Tom moved with his wife Millie and his sons Pat and Tom Jr. to take a position as assistant professor of government at Los Angeles State College. When Tom arrived, the 13-year-old college shared a campus with Los Angeles City College. Tom received tenure at L.A. State, but by the end of his term as department chair in 1967, L.A. State had become California State College, Los Angeles and was located on its own campus. Shortly after being promoted to full professor in 1969, the department was renamed the Department of Political Science. By the time he retired, Cal State L.A. had become California State University, Los Angeles, and both he and the department had found a new home in the School of Natural and Social Sciences. Tom was a leader of the department during a period of rapid growth and transformation. His leadership was crucial in the recruitment of new faculty from institutions across the nation. He served as a role model to the host of new, young faculty joining the department at this time. Not only was he an outstanding classroom instructor and adviser, Tom was an editor on the Western Political Quarterly from 1966 to 1969, president of the Southern California Political Science Association during 1966-67, and president of the campus chapter of the American Association of University Professors in 1968-69. Tom relished his role in academic governance, serving in the Academic Senate and on a multitude of key committees. Popular with both his colleagues and students, Tom was one of the first recipients of the Outstanding Professor Award, which he received in 1970. In addition to teaching a variety of theory classes, Tom was the department expert on British and Canadian politics. He combined his love of travel with his quest for knowledge by visiting both countries as often as possible. In 1967-68, he and his family spent the entire academic year in England. Thereafter, he made five extended visits to Canada and the United Kingdom before he retired. A prolific and excellent letter writer, Tom provided his colleagues with amazingly detailed accounts of the people and politics he encountered on those trips. Students in his British politics classes relished hearing these accounts from a master storyteller. After his retirement, Tom continued to travel and to stay in touch with his colleagues both at Cal State L.A. and abroad. In recent years, he traveled to England to see his British colleague and friend, Sir Trevor Smith, who became Lord Smith. Tom always took genuine joy at the successes of his friends and colleagues. He will be greatly missed by his colleagues in the department and at the University. The Emeritimes, Fall 2001 GERALD E SORRENSEN, Professor of Economics, 1958-1985, was born November 10, 1914 in a log cabin on a farm near Camp Douglas, Wisconsin. Jerry finished high school at age 16 and worked on the farm for two years before joining the Civilian Conservation Corps. His hardworking immigrant father, who was always an inspiration to Jerry, was tragically killed in a farm accident. Jerry and his two sisters were still teenagers, and their mother had died, too. Jerry made his way to Doan College, and then to the University of Wisconsin, where he earned a bachelor's degree in philosophy, Phi Beta Kappa. He turned down a scholarship to Yale Law School, and did graduate work at UCLA in philosophy, where he was an assistant to Bertrand Russell. Jerry had injured his back on the farm, so the draft board, in 1940, classed him 4-F, though he had an ROTC commission in Anti-aircraft Artillery. After Pearl Harbor, the Army and Jerry both wanted a second opinion, and when the medics examined him, indicated that it was up to him and asked if he wanted to try it. He was transferred to the Signal Corps to do research on the new technology, radar. The minimum requirement for a radar officer was a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering. All of Jerry's work was in philosophy, but this was close enough. Jerry said that his worst risk in WWII was alligators; the research was done in Florida. After the war, he worked in the insurance industry. In 1950 he was still single, so he was called out again. He was transferred to Air Force Intelligence. He said that he "flew a desk in the Pentagon, the worst risk being Washington traffic." Jerry returned to UCLA, this time for graduate work in economics. He taught there for two years, and then came to Cal State L.A. in 1959. He actually taught there until 1989, but due to the forced retirement at age 70 then in effect, he went to part-time in 1984 and taught one course per quarter. At least once a year, he taught a course of his design, the "Jerry Sorrensen course." It was called Current Economic Problems, and it took whatever problems were current and went over the economist's logic related to the problem. He published 15 articles, most of them in places like the Los Angeles Times , The New York Times , and The Christian Science Monitor . He thought it more useful to inform the literate public about the economist's logic applied to current issues than to argue the fine points of some theory with fellow economist in one of their journals. He used to twit some of us because he usually was paid for his articles, while we sweated out merely being accepted in a journal. Jerry suffered with his back all of his adult life. Even with that, he was a devotee of vigorous exercise. He mowed his lawn, not with a power mower, but with a push mower, and he jogged daily. The back problem was complicated with Parkinson's disease in his post-retirement years. He finished his days with two years in the infirmary at Pilgrim Place in Claremont. His wife, JoAnn, said he passed quietly; he was talking to a fellow patient and just faded away. He is survived by JoAnn, long a career counselor at Claremont High School, two daughters, and a grandson, age 6. His younger daughter, Cynthia, was an assistant professor of geography at Cal State L.A. until this fall. The Emeritimes, Fall 2001 DANIEL LEE TOWLER, Campus Minister, 1966-2001 and Lecturer in Education, 1989-1996, better known in Southern California educational and civic circles as Deacon Dan, died unexpectedly in his sleep on Wednesday, August 1, 2001. On the previous evening he attended the baseball game between the Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds at Dodger stadium, seemingly in normal health. He was 73 years of age and a seasoned athlete. Dan was born in Donora, Pennsylvania in 1928. He attended Donora High School, from which he graduated in 1946, and went on to Washington and Jefferson College in Washington, Pennsylvania. There he was an honors student as well as a varsity athlete, named a Little All-American. Dan was first known in Los Angeles as a halfback and fullback with the Rams during the 1950s, having been drafted by the Rams organization right after his college graduation. He played for the Rams for six years, leading the team in rushing all six seasons, and was All-Pro four years straight. In 1952, he led the National Football League in rushing and earned a Most Valuable Player award in the Pro Bowl game. However, he pursued a more pressing interest concurrently with his football career, and received a master's degree in religion from USC in 1955. He retired from football then, at the peak of his sports career, and was named pastor of the Lincoln Avenue Methodist church in Pasadena. He continued his graduate studies subsequently, and earned an Ed.D. from USC in 1973. His association with Cal State L.A. was multifaceted, primarily as a member of Campus Ministries, but further as a fundraiser for the Charter College of Education and adviser to the Cal State L.A. chapter of Phi Delta Kappa, the national education honorary society. In addition, Dan served on the L.A. County Board of Education for 26 years, six of them as president. He held positions on the National School Board Association, the California School Board Association, the Pasadena Redevelopment Agency, and the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association. Yet he was most visible on campus in support of scholarship programs and in outreach activities for high school students, particularly those interested in becoming teachers. Dan established the Daniel L. Towler Educational Foundation, through which his contributions to the students he helped during his lifetime will be continued for future students. He is survived by his wife Rosalind, their daughter Roslyn, a sister, and a brother. Two University memorial services are planned. The first, sponsored by the Campus Ministries and the Student Health Center, will be held on Thursday, September 13 at 3:00 p.m. in the Student Health Center, Room 213. The Charter College of Education will be holding a memorial service on Monday, October 8; for further information, please call the dean's office at 323-343-4300. The Emeritimes, Fall 2001 BRUCE LARSEN CAMPBELL, Associate Professor of Education, 1977-2001, who specialized in marriage and family sociology, died suddenly at the age of 60 in his home in Glendora on May 6, 2001. Bruce came to the former Department of Home Economics at Cal State L.A. in 1977 with bachelor's and master's degrees from Brigham Young University and a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota. He also earned an M.A. from Azusa Pacific University in 1981, and in 1989 he became a state-licensed marriage, family, and child counselor. He taught in the child development program. Aside from his teaching and other instructional contributions, he will be remembered for his collaboration with Ann Bingham-Newman in developing and implementing the Charter School of Education's urban learning program, whose purpose was to reduce the training period for qualified teachers from five years to four. He was regarded by his students as a helpful and compassionate educator. A man of diverse interestsfrom religion to politics to sports to bird watchingBruce was especially appreciated by those who knew him for his great sense of humor and philosophical outlook on life. He and his wife were both teachers, so they had many opportunities for adventures during their summers off. Their trips ranged from annual visits to Utah to more distant travels to England and Scotland. His survivors include his wife Diane, daughter Bonnie Jean, sons Christopher and Albert, three sisters, and a brother. The Emeritimes, Fall 2001 RON E. HULL, Assistant Professor of Physical Education, 1963-2001, and Head Coach of Football, 1976-1978, who served on the physical education faculty for 37 years, died of heart failure on July 22, 2001 at the age of 61. Ironically, he had planned to retire this September. An All-American lineman at UCLA and Bruin captain in 1961, Ron was hired at Cal State L.A. as an assistant football coach and part-time instructor in 1963, and became a full-time faculty member the following year. In addition to his coaching responsibilities, he taught a variety of activities courses. He continued as an assistant coach until 1976, when he was named head coach in place of Jim Williams following Williams' heart attack. But Ron was the last Cal State L.A. football coach, as football was dropped in 1978. Ron went on to teach majors' courses in theory and analysis of sport. In 1992, he was appointed director of the intramural athletics program. He was named advisement coordinator for department majors in 1996. Throughout his career, he served on various department and school committees. Thus involved, he was seen on campus just a few days before his death. He is survived by a daughter, two sons, and four grandchildren. The Emeritimes, Fall 2001 ANTHONY LONGHETTI, Associate Professor of Criminal Justice, 1989-2001, 72, passed away on June 9, 2001. A much loved and respected professor in the Criminal Justice Department and director of the master's degree program in criminalistics, Longhetti received his B.A. at UC Berkeley and his MPA at CSU San Bernardino. He was recognized as a pioneer in the field of forensic science and studied at UC Berkeley under Paul Kirk. In 1957, he was hired by the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department to establish its first crime lab. He remained in this capacity for 26 years. In 1983, Longhetti was appointed deputy chief in charge of the Scientific Investigations Bureau. He retired from the San Bernardino Sheriff s Department in 1989, and began a teaching career at Cal State L.A. He was associated with many civic and professional organizations, among them the California Association of Criminalists, of which he was past president and a life member. He was president of the American Academy of Forensic Science and a member of the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors' Laboratory Accreditation Board. The Emeritimes, Fall 2001 MIRIAM M. BLOMQUIST, Professor of Nursing, 1966-1980, died on April 19, 2001 in Dallas. She had had surgery for colon cancer, but complications that followed defeated her efforts to survive. A specialist in obstetric and gynecological nursing, Miriam's leadership in the nursing department was evident in her development of a senior-elective option in health care for women. In addition to her curricular innovations and clinical teaching, she served on many department and school committees. Miriam developed her expertise in an advanced program at UC San Francisco. She received her initial nursing education at the Yale University School of Nursing, and earned an M.S. degree at the University of Pittsburgh prior to her UC studies. Miriam moved to Pasadena and joined the Cal State L.A. faculty in 1966. She retired in 1980. After a few years of part-time teaching, she moved to Baltimore, where she lived for more than 15 years. She traveled widely, including a trip to Africa, until her health failed. Following her surgery, friends and cousins helped her move to Dallas so that they could care for her. She is survived by cousins. The Emeritimes, Winter 2002 DAVID L. (JAKE) JACOBSOHN, Emeritus Professor of Health and Safety Studies, 1957-1982, died at the age of 72 on September 16, 2001 following heart surgery. Unexpected post-operative complications led to failure. Prominent at the University in two disciplinary areas, school law as well as health and safety, Jake began his college teaching career in 1957 in the former Division of Education at the L.A. City College campus, which the State College then shared. When the permanent campus was built and the curriculum expanded, he transferred to the newly formed Department of Health and Safety. An early alumnus of L.A. State with both B.A. and M.A. degrees, Jake first taught in the Alhambra elementary schools. He earned the J.D. degree from USC and began to practice law in Monterey Park. At Cal State L.A., there was a strong parallel between his classroom lectures and his courtroom presentation to juries. Over the intervening years, he wrote two texts, Health and Safety Law and Administration and Law in Occupational Safety , and developed a certificate program for certified occupational safety specialists. Jake was recognized as an outstanding professor in 1966, which he cherished because it represented the esteem of his students. He also enjoyed occasional roles as an attorney in television court programs. He served as a legal adviser to the University in its early years, and later was a judge pro tern, filling in at municipal courts in the San Gabriel Valley. In 1982, he retired from the University and was named professor emeritus in 1983. Retiring also from law practice, he moved to Hawaii. There he taught legal aspects of health care administration at the Hawaii campus of Central Michigan University, and served as an arbitrator and mediator in Hawaii and other Pacific islands under the aegis of the American Arbitration Association. Following his return to the mainland, Jake taught first at the College of St. Francis in Tucson and later at the San Diego campus of the University of Phoenix. His community service, spread over all his locations, included leadership for the Lions Club, Red Cross, Boy Scouts, and Chamber of Commerce. He is survived by his wife Diane, of Fallbrook; daughter Debbie Kaye; son Paul; three grandchildren; a sister; and nieces and nephews. The Emeritimes, Winter 2002 JULIAN B. ROTH, Emeritus Professor of Education, 1956-1980, died of leukemia on July 24, 2001. He was born in Portland, Oregon on June 17, 1918, and graduated from Reed College just prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor. A gunnery officer with the rank of lieutenant (jg) on the USS Tracy, a minelayer in the Pacific Theater, he saw action at Guadalcanal and Bougainville, for which his unit was honored with a presidential citation. Released from active service in 1945, he returned to Reed College for an M.A. in philosophy and then moved to California, earned a secondary teaching credential at San Francisco State College, and became a counselor and teacher of math and science in a junior high school in San Francisco. He completed his formal education at Stanford University, where he earned a doctorate in education in 1954. Two years later, he was hired as an assistant professor of education in the Cal State L.A. Department of Secondary Education. Julian came to Cal State L.A. with a strong interest in educational philosophy and, after several years of teaching the core course in secondary education, was called upon to teach a course in the historical, philosophical, and sociological principles of education. Other particular interests of his were comparative education, the articulation of elementary and secondary education, urban education, and multiculturalism. Shortly after the launching of Sputnik by the USSR, Julian traveled to the Soviet Union to familiarize himself with its science programs. In 1963, he initiated a course in comparative education and was promoted to the rank of professor in 1965. It was around that time that, together with Georgia Adams, Burton Henry, Helen Nicklin, Carleton Shay, and Ed Wandt, he helped establish the new Department of Educational Foundations. Between 1967 and 1969, Julian was on special assignment in the Chancellor's Office. When he returned to the University in 1970, he joined the new department and taught courses in the historical and philosophical foundations of education and the sociological foundations of education. He served as chair of the Department of Educational Foundations from 1973 to 1979, retired in 1980, and moved back up to the Bay Area with his wife Dorothea, a nurse. His colleagues characterized him as a strong teacher and leader who encouraged good rapport between faculty and administration. One colleague noted in particular his wry sense of humor. Julian's interests extended well beyond his professional life. The nephew of Mark Rothko, the renowned abstract expressionist painter, he acquired a collection of Rothko drawings, which he later donated to the Rothko Memorial Chapel on the campus of St. Thomas University in Houston. Besides his interest in art, he was a fan of opera, an avid reader, and, with Dottie, whose death followed his by just five weeks, a lover of travel. His survivors include a sister, Dorothy Reiter of Portland, Oregon; her husband Phillip; and a nephew and niece.

Marge was appointed to the department in 1978 to coach archery and badminton, and subsequently served as associate director of women's and coeducational athletics. Her distinguished record in archery includes service as head coach of the 1979 championship team and subsequent recognition as national Archery Coach of the Year in 1982. Her teams produced 33 All-Americans and 43 All-Regional honorees, including the national champion for 1979, Mike Gerard. During her tenure, Cal State L.A. archery teams never finished lower than third in the nation. She also coached badminton concurrently. Marge received her bachelor's degree in 1946 from USC, where she was a member of the Delta Gamma sorority. She later came to Cal State L.A. for graduate study and received the master's degree in 1969. Her initial employment at the University was in a staff position, managing equipment for the department. She was advanced to the coaching position when the opportunity became available. In addition to coaching, she taught a variety of activity classes as well as the Physical Education in Elementary Schools course. After her retirement, she was inducted into the Cal State L.A. Athletics Hall of Fame in 1988. Marge's long-standing athletic prowess also included golf, in which she won the Brookside Women's Golf championship 20 times A memorial service was held on January 28, followed by a reception at Brookside, which was attended by many faculty colleagues, former students, fellow golfers, and sorority sisters who joined with members of her family for the commemoration.

The Emeritimes, Spring 2002 REID J GUNNELL, Emeritus Professor of Physical Education and Coach, Football, 1958-1992, died on January 21, 2002 at the age of 71. The cause of death was not disclosed. At Cal State L.A., Reid served as both teacher and coach from 1958 to his retirement in 1992. Following his coaching years, he served as associate director of athletics until 1970, when he returned to graduate study during a sabbatical leave. Shortly after his return to campus, he received the Ed.D. degree from Brigham Young University, in 1973. Reid then became coordinator of the department's expanding graduate pro-gram, and served in that capacity until he retired. A native of Idaho, Reid grew up on a dairy farm. Milking cows no doubt contributed strength during his childhood years, which then enabled him to earn high school letters in football, basketball, and baseball. For his junior and senior years, he was voted outstanding athlete. He received a football scholarship in 1948 from Utah State, but was not happy there and subsequently changed to Idaho State. There he excelled in football and also prospered academically; he knew that he had found his life's work as a coach and teacher of athletics. Reid and Joan were married while he was still an undergraduate student, in February 1951, between semesters. In 1953, after he received the B.A., he became a high school teacher and head football coach in Afton, Wyoming, where he and his teams enjoyed winning seasons. In 1957, he returned to Idaho State for his M.A., and served as an assistant coach concurrently with his graduate work. With that degree and experience behind him, Reid was ready for college coaching and was hired at Los Angeles State College on the threshold of its great expansion. A lifelong active member of the Church of Latter Day Saints, Reid served in many high offices all of his adult life. Shortly after he retired from our faculty, the Gunnells moved to Orem, Utah, where he enjoyed following BYU sports and playing golf in addition to further assignments for his church. Reid is survived by his wife, Joan, and their five children. The Emeritimes, Spring 2002 JOHN OWEN JONES, Emeritus Professor of Education, 1964-1991, died on January 19, 2002 at the age of 74.

A native of Michigan, he earned the B.A. in 1953 and the M.A. in 1954 at the University of Michigan, following five years of military service in the U.S. Marine Corps. He received the Ed.D. degree from UC Berkeley in 1963, and before coming to our campus he taught at San Jose State. In 1982-83, John and his wife, Rita, and Carol Smallenburg were part of a seven-member team that went to Micronesia to conduct a Cal State L.A.-sponsored institute for teachers and educational administrators. John served as a language arts specialist. Following the institute, the Joneses went on to Australia for the remainder of their sabbaticals. They had developed an interest in aboriginal art and planned their stay in Australia to include visits to contemporary artists in the genre. John is survived by Rita and by their daughter Christine and son Eric. Services were held at St. Paul's Catholic Church in Negaunee, Michigan. The Emeritimes, Spring 2002 MARILYNN LEMON, Emeritus Professor of Nursing, 1966-1988, died September 8, 2001 in her home in Diamond Bar after a long battle with several serious illnesses, at the age of 67. Marilynn is remembered for her significant contributions in several diverse areas. She was first and foremost a champion and an advocate for students. When she started teaching at Cal State L.A., she was one of several faculty members who taught the first course in nursing and initiated fledgling students into the profession of nursing. At the other end of the baccalaureate curriculum, she designed and taught the first course in mental health consultation for graduate students. At the department level, she was active on various committees and chair of the Faculty Affairs Committee for many years. Professionally, she was a pioneer in the field of post-traumatic stress; her experiences with post-traumatic stress problems of Vietnam soldiers, veterans, and medical personnel, and insights about the problem and its treatment, made her a much sought-after speaker, resource person, and consultant. Toward the end of her Cal State L.A. career, she completed the human sexuality program at UCLA. Marilynn became an expert on the sexuality and sexual problems of persons with serious traumatic and physical disabilities, and developed a private practice working in this specialization. After her retirement, she continued her practice as a sex therapist and worked as a part-time psychotherapist at Casa Colina Rehabilitation Hospital in Pomona. Marilynn graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1956 with a Bachelor of Nursing degree and interned at Cook County Hospital in the same city. After spending a short time as a public health nurse, she enlisted in the Air Force and, after her active duty, joined the Air Force Reserve. She remained in the Air National Guard for more than 25 years. Marilynn served her country honorably as a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force National Guard, flying air evacuation missions between Vietnam and Japan and serving as chief nurse of the 146th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron, California Air National Guard. After Marilynn's year of active duty with the Air Force, she returned to graduate school at UCLA and received a Master of Nursing degree, specializing in community mental health, in 1960. She joined the faculty in the Department of Nursing in 1966 and retired from Cal State L.A. in 1988. Marilynn is survived by her husband, Glynn, her brother George Becker, and her sister-in-law, Kristina Becker. The Emeritimes, Spring 2002 DEMETRA PALAMARI, Associate Professor of French, 1963-1992, a popular member of the French faculty until her retirement 10 years ago, passed away on February 25, 2002. She was born on September 10, 1929 in New York City, and came to Los Angeles with her family at the age of two. She attended University High School and UCLA, earning a B.A. in Music in 1951. She was a talented violinist and violist. At UCLA she met Maximilian Novak, a professor of English, and they were married in 1954. Two years later, Demetra was in France studying French at the Sorbonne. On her return to the U.S., she entered the French graduate program at the University of Michigan and earned an M.A. in 1960. As a candidate for the Ph.D. in French at Michigan, she worked for three years as a teaching assistant and, in 1963, accepted a position at Los Angeles State College with the rank of assistant professor of French. She and Maximilian were amicably divorced the same year. She was awarded her Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1968. Demetra's teaching specialty was French literature of the 16th and 19th centuries. She taught with much enthusiasm such illustrious writers of the Renaissance as Rabelais, Montaigne, and the poets of the Pleiade, as well as the great novelists of the 19th century, among whom her favorites were Flaubert and Zola. She also made use of her musical talent by introducing a course in French popular song, one of the students' favorites, for which she sang and accompanied herself on her guitar. When the upper division theme courses were added to the G.E. curriculum, Demetra volunteered to teach two of them, alternating with Leon Schwartz in the theme course on modern languages in human emotions, and with Marie-Antoinette Zrimc in the theme course on modern maturity and aging. In addition to her broad literary and cultural interests, Demetra always considered herself a state-of-the-art language teacher, and her professional achievements lay mostly in that area. She experimented constantly with pedagogical approaches, lectured and wrote on language teaching strategies, and volunteered for projects intended to enhance student language learning. Among these projects were a workshop in theatrical elocution for handicapped and non-handicapped students, an ESL project teaching English to Japanese students enrolled in our intensive summer programs, and the production with Francoise Pasques of an educational video for use in elementary French language classes, funded by a CSU grant. Because of these activities she, along with Marie Zrimc, was asked to serve on an NEH-Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship Grant selection panel. She served on the panel for five years. Always eager to encourage students in foreign language study, she was one of the Modem Language and Literatures Department's volunteer instructors in the Mentally Gifted Minors after-school program and a longtime sponsor of our students' French Club, Le Cercle Francais. When Demetra retired in 1992, she was beginning to suffer the effects of a kidney ailment. She retired to her home in Venice, California, but remained as active as she could. She especially enjoyed her Renaissance song group and, as the character Candide recommended in Voltaire's famous philosophical tale, working in her garden. Ironically, this normally salutary activity was her undoing, for her death resulted from a lethal reaction to a medication taken for a finger infection caused by the prick of a rose's thorn. Her colleagues and students remember Demetra fondly for her personal charm, dedication to her teaching, and commitment to humane causes, especially the causes of world peace, universal civil rights, protection of the environment, feminism, and the humane treatment of animals. Her survivors include her longtime companion, Terence Gordon Craig, and cousins Beverly Slauson and Dorothy Burke. Terry has informed us that he is setting up a website in her honor. The Emeritimes, Spring 2002 MORRIS POLAN, Reference Librarian, 1955-1965, and Emeritus University Librarian, 1966-1988, and Pat Brown Institute coordinator of public affairs, died on March 23, 2002 of heart failure. Polan was born in East St. Louis, Illinois, on January 24, 1924. He began his undergraduate studies at Southern Illinois University and, following military service, completed his B.A. in political science at UCLA in 1949. He received an M.S. in library science from the University of Southern California, and held positions at the Los Angeles Public Library and USC. Morrie, as he was known to his many friends and colleagues, began his connection with Cal State L.A. in 1955, only eight years after the founding of L.A. State. With the University's library for 33 years, Morrie supervised the building of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Library, directed its growth and expansion, and oversaw its rapid return to full operation within months after the devastating effects of the 1987 earthquake. Starting as periodicals librarian, Morrie served as head of reference, head of reader services, and assistant college librarian. He became College (now University) Librarian in 1965, a position he held until his retirement. Morrie originally chose his retirement date to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the storming of the Bastille. ("Timing is everything," he declared in a letter to Library personnel, peppered with French, announcing his impending retirement.) In fact, he retired slightly earlieron December 30, 1988. During his tenure as University Librarian, Morrie was professionally active on local, state, and national levels. He served on the board of scholars for El Pueblo State Historic Park, the advisory committee for the Center for the Study of Media and Values, and the advisory board of the Pat Brown Institute. He was the co-founder of the Los Angeles Cooperative Library Consortium, and coordinator for the California Center for the Book, an affiliate of the Library of Congress. He was a member of the planning committee for the California Library Authority for Systems and Service, editor of California Librarian , and president of the California Library Association and chair of its Government Relations Committee. In 1979, he headed the California delegation to the White House Conference on Library and Information Services. Although his intentions were to "pursue some of the civilized and civilizing arts"which, for Morrie, included chamber music recitals, lectures, movies, Linda Ronstadt concerts, gardening, reading, fine dining, writing, and Dodger gamesMorrie's retirement wish list also included further public service and "some political activity." Strongly drawn to political issues and long supportive of the Democratic Party, he began an association with the Edmund G. "Pat" Brown Institute of Public Affairs, a nonpartisan center for applied public policy that he helped bring to the Cal State L.A. campus in 1987. In 1992, he was hired as the Institute's coordinator of public affairs, a position he held until his death. He leaves two daughters, Ruth and Miriam, and a vast network of friends and colleagues who will remember his verbal wit, his knowledge and understanding of politics, and his commitment to preserving and cherishing the creative accomplishments of the human spirit. Graveside services were held at Mount Sinai Memorial Parks and Mortuaries, Hollywood Hills, on March 27. The Pat Brown Institute, the Library, and the President's Office will coordinate a memorial dedicated to Morrie's life on Thursday, May 16. Further information can be obtained by calling the Pat Brown Institute, 323-343-3770. The Emeritimes, Spring 2002 FLORENCE DIAMOND.

They were married for 54 years and had two children, Janis and Gary. He began his career at Cal State L.A. in 1950 as one of the earliest members of the Department of Educational Administration, and was instrumental in developing that department into one of the finest in the state. Dutch was a very popular professor with students during his 30 years of service at the University. He was honored by the Cal State L.A. Outstanding Professor Award and was presented the Citation for Exceptional Teaching Ability and Unusually Competent Performance by noted anthropologist Margaret Mead. He was noted statewide as an expert on school law. He taught that course, the course on school finance, and numerous other courses in educational administration. Dutch retired from the University in 1980. At the age of 67, Dutch took up the sport of long-distance running. He ran over 55 marathons between the ages of 67 and 80 years, participating in races in many different countries. He was an outstanding runner and frequently won in his age group. He often ran marathons in less time than individuals who were many years younger. He frequently ran with his daughter, Janis, who introduced him to the sport. His last race was the 1995 Los Angeles Marathon, after having been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Dutch is survived by his wife Marjorie, daughter Janis, and son Gary. The Emeritimes, Fall 2002 MARY C. W. HUBER, Professor of Speech, 1952-1971. Mary Catherine Wehe Huber, who, despite never finishing high school, went on to a distinguished career in speech pathology, died in New York of congestive heart failure on April 23, 2002. She was 94 years old. Born in Milwaukee on October 28, 1907, she came relatively late to the world of academia. It was not until Mary Wehe married Henry H. Huber in 1930 that she was able to gain freshman admission to the University of Wisconsin, where she earned B.S., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees in 1939, 1940, and 1945. She came to Los Angeles State College in 1952 after directing three speech clinics in Montreal and working at the Brooklyn College Adult Education Clinic, University of Wisconsin Aphasia Clinic, Lenox Hill Cerebral Palsy Clinic (New York), and May T. Morrison Speech Clinic (San Francisco); teaching speech pathology at the University of Minnesota and Brooklyn College; authoring a published text, The Practice of Speech Correction in the Medical Clinic (Boston, 1942); and giving birth to a daughter, Kathleen Mary, a future actress and playwright. When Mary was hired by our Speech and Drama Department, L.A. State was still on the Los Angeles City College campus and the speech classes were taught in barracks. Although she specialized in speech disorders, she also taught voice and diction classes, for the speech pathology program was still a small one in the early years, which she recalled for The Emeritimes in our 50th anniversary of Cal State L.A. edition (Spring 1997). As the program grew, she was able to concentrate on her area of specialization, teaching the Introduction to Speech Correction and the Diagnostic Clinic in Speech Correction, as the subject was called back then; presenting a variety of seminars in neuropathologies of speech and specific speech disorders; and supervising student teachers in her field. She was an internationally recognized authority on speech disorders in children, adult aphasia, and clinical practice, publishing articles on these topics in The Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders , The Crippled Child , The Canadian Medical Journal , The Voice , Western Speech, and Parents Magazine , and she created a test of preschool speech and language development of children with cerebral palsy. In addition to these teaching and publishing activities, Mary was involved in several professional organizations: the Speech Communication Association of America; California Speech, Language, and Hearing Association; and the American Cleft Palate Association. For her achievements, she was named a Fellow of the American Speech, Language, and Hearing Association; served as editor of the national Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders from 1958 to 1962; and was mentioned in a National Communication Association book on prominent women in the field. She was also listed in American Men of Science and Who's Who of American Women . Upon retiring from the University, she moved to Palm Springs and set up a private practice in communication disorders. She was also active as a pathologist on the medical staff of Desert Hospital, a member of the Cleft Palate Panel and Rehabilitation Board, and an advisory board member and volunteer for the local Stroke Activities Center. Outside her professional field, she was a member of the Palm Springs Council of the Navy League, serving as its president in 1987 and as editor of Sand and Sail Lore , the newsletter of the organization, and an amateur actress appearing in The Valley Players Guild 1995 production of Ayn Rand' s Night of January 16th . Mary Huber, who, as Bob Kully recalled, was often told that she looked like another MaryMary Martin, the star of musicalswas a valued member of Cal State L.A.' s speech faculty. According to Bob Douglass, her long-time colleague and department chair, her broad clinical background greatly enriched the experience of her students. She was also a dedicated member of the Emeriti Association for which, in spite of her many other commitments, she served a term on the Membership Committee. In addition to her daughter Kathleen, she is survived by five sisters and a brother. The Emeritimes, Fall 2002 MILDRED G. MASSEY, Professor of Economics, 1960-1986. Mildred Gerini Massey, professor of economics and president of the Emeriti Association from 1990 to 1992, died in Santa Monica on May 6, 2002. She was born to Virginia and Eugenio Gerini, Italian immigrants, in San Francisco on December 3, 1920, and grew up in the city by the bay. She did her undergraduate college work at the University of California, Berkeley, majoring in math. She earned her B.A. degree in 1942 and was married to Frank J. Massey, Jr. the following year while working as a teaching assistant in math at the university. Following Frank to the University of Maryland, she taught there briefly, also in math. In 1949 the couple, with son Frank III in tow, went to the University of Oregon, where Mildred earned an M.A. in math and economics (1951) and began work on a doctorate in economics, which was interrupted in 1954 by the birth of a daughter, Laura Jean. The following year she was able to resume her academic career, working as an instructor in the Math Department (1955-56) and continuing her doctoral studies in the Economics Department. When the family finally settled in Santa Monica in 1956, Mildred was appointed as an acting assistant professor of economics and research economist at UCLA. She managed at the same time to finish her doctoral studies at Oregon (1958). Mildred was hired as an assistant professor of economics at Los Angeles State College in fall 1960 and taught courses in both her department and the Business Administration Department. In the former, she taught Money, Banking, and the Economy; Principles of International Economics; and various courses in research theory. In the latter, she taught applied and advanced statistics courses and quantitative methods. For the first two years of her probationary period at Los Angeles State College, she continued working for UCLA as a consultant in statistics in their Engineering Department, where with A. Roe and G. Wetman, she coauthored two published reports on the use of computer programs to automate teaching methods. In the following year, she was a consultant on the City of Hope's Hallett Project. She was promoted to associate professor in 1964 and to professor five years later. In 1973, Mildred received an $11,600 CSU grant to study the relationship between instructor rating and learning. In addition to these professional activities, Mildred was a conscientious participant in faculty affairs, serving on many committees and particularly in the Academic Senate, where she was elected secretary in 1970. When she retired in 1986, she immediately became active in both the Cal State L.A. Emeriti Association and, as a UCLA emeritus faculty spouse, in theirs. She was our membership secretary from 1987 to 1989, vice president for administration from 1989 to 1990, then president for two years, immediate past president for one year, and a member of the editorial board of The Emeritimes for five years, the last two of which she served as chair. In May 2000, the association membership voted to present her with a Certificate of Recognition for "dedicated service to the emeritus faculty in general and the Emeriti Association in particular." Her other honors include membership in numerous honor societies, including Phi Beta Kappa, Pi Mu Epsilon (Math), and Pi Lambda Theta (Education), and a Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Fellowship. Her survivors include her son and daughterher husband Frank died in 1995and the many friends in her several bridge groups and university associations. The Emeritimes, Fall 2002 JOHN A. TOMASKE, Emeritus Professor of Economics and Statistics, 1965-1997, died on Saturday, July 20, 2002 of pancreatic cancer.

John obtained his B.A. from Washington State University in 1956 and his Ph.D. in 1968 from the University of Washington. Following temporary teaching appointments at the University of Washington and University of California, Riverside, John began his Cal State L.A. career as an assistant professor in 1965. His teaching, research, and academic service were exemplary, and his advancement assured. In 1971, he was appointed to the then-new position of associate dean of academic planning, with responsibilities for graduate programs and for research and governmental relations. He returned to his faculty position later that decade, and was the principal graduate adviser in economics and statistics from 1977 to 1983. He also directed the Center for Economic Education for many years. John concurrently was sought out for system wide positions, and served for various terms on the Joint Graduate Board of the Coordinating Council for Higher Education, the CSU Admissions Council, and the California Council on Economic Education. For his department, John was the associate chair from 1980 to 1983, and chair from 1983 to 1986. In 1998, he retired and was named emeritus professor, and he taught in the Faculty Early Retirement Program. Early this year, he underwent surgery, from which he expected to recover, and he planned to resume teaching in September. His confidence did not prevail. He is survived by his wife, Monique, and by another son, Gordon. A memorial service was held on August 3 at the Tomaske residence in Sunland.

State College and, within several years, was teaching many of the Department's most advanced courses. She was especially qualified to teach psychological testingmental and atypicaland marital psychology, and on the graduate level she directed field study and taught case study techniques. She was a major force in initiating the pupil personnel credential program, which trained school psychologists and psychometrists, and was very active in the Associated Clinics, conducting numerous interdisciplinary programs with the five participating departments. She was also the recipient of a federal fellowship to develop a graduate program in special education for teachers of students with learning and emotional handicaps. In 1958 Alice, recently divorced, became a California certified psychologist and, in 1959, she was granted a clinical psychology doctorate (Docteur d'Université) by the University of Paris, Sorbonne. Promoted to associate professor, she assumed important service functions in the University, such as principal department graduate adviser and psychological counselor in the office of the Dean of Students. After receiving her full professorship, she served one term as department chair. She was also very active in the local community, founding the Escalon School for developmentally and emotionally handicapped children in Pasadena. Alice devoted her knowledge and energies as president and chairman of the board of Escalon from the 1950s to the1970s. She also published manuals and articles on children's learning and behavior problems, and served as editor for at least two journals in her field. She was an Outstanding Professor for 1977-78. Among her most memorable off-campus achievements was her work for the U.S. Department of Defense as consultant to schools in Japan for children of U.S. military personnel (1968-70). In this capacity, she was granted the civilian rank of GS-15, the equivalent of a brigadier general. Alice joined the Emeriti Association as soon as she retired in 1979 and served as its fourth president (1981-82). She also endowed a scholarship in the Department of Psychology. She subsequently moved to Laguna Beach, where she opened a free clinic for psychological counseling and a private practice of her own. In 1992,she moved to Waldport, Oregon and attended a school to become, belatedly, a Unitarian-Universalist minister, but age was taking its toll and the project was abandoned. Four years later, she moved to Eugene to be close to her son Cary, his wife Joan, and her grandson Miles, who have survived her, daughter Shelly having died in the mid-1990s.A memorial service was held for her on January 11, 2003 at the Eugene Unitarian Church.

The Emeritimes, Winter 2003 HAROLD (HAL) CHARNOFSKY. Cal State L.A. emeriti who have served on the CSU Academic Senate will remember Harold (Hal) Charnofsky, professor of sociology at Cal State Dominguez Hills, who died on December 21, 2002 from the effects of pancreatic cancer. He was 71 and had not retired from his faculty position at the time he first became ill. He served on the statewide senate for 27 years, often elected to office or appointed to chair a standing committee. Hal joined the CSUDH faculty in 1966 as the founding member of the sociology department. One of his first acts there was hiring Herman Loether away from the Cal State L.A. faculty. He went on to build an exemplary graduate program in marriage and family counseling, for which he developed internships that served the Carson community as well as the students. In 1992, he received the Trustees' Outstanding Professor Award. He is survived by his wife, Michele Linden-Charnofsky, six children from their respective former marriages, and three grandchildren. Also surviving are his twin brother, Stan, professor of educational psychology at Cal State Northridge; three sisters; and numerous nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be held in the CSUDH Student Union on Sunday, February 9, 2003 at 1:00 p.m. The Emeritimes, Winter 2003 ROBERT BRYAN BENOIT, Emeritus Professor of Counselor Education, 1965-1990, died in March 2003 of long-term complications following a stroke. He had suffered the stroke in 1997, about six months after the death of his wife from cancer, while traveling in Hawaii. Since that time he lived in a private facility in San Pedro for stroke victims. Bob was born on March 4, 1929 in Flint, Michigan, then a rural area. After his high school graduation in 1941, he enlisted in the Air Force and served till war's end. He then attended Michigan State University, at which he earned a B.A. in speech pathology in 1949, following which he moved to Santa Barbara for a position as a speech therapist. There he met Betty June Eggleston, a teacher recently graduated from Mills College, and they were married in 1951. At that time, he became a speech therapist in the Kern County school district. The Benoits settled in Bakersfield, where their three sons were born. In 1960, the family moved to Hermosa Beach, and Bob enrolled at USC for graduate study. He received his Ed.D. degree in counseling psychology in 1964 and became a licensed clinical psychologist in 1967. Bob joined the Cal State L.A. faculty in 1971, in the department of counselor education. His primary academic interest was behavior modification, in which he authored several journal articles. His skills in conflict resolution were recognized by his colleagues, who elected him to two terms as their department chair. Concurrently, his community interests were reflected in his membership on the Hermosa Beach School Board, and he did additional volunteer work with mentally handicapped children. He was named an emeritus professor in 1985. Bob's early interest in music never left him, even as he went on to a career in other fields. He was an excellent jazz guitarist and played actively following his retirement, until his stroke. He is survived by his three sons, David, Dan, and Phil, as well as a sister, Audrey Wright. David, who has followed in his father's musical footsteps, is a noted jazz pianist and composer. The Emeritimes, Spring 2003 H. LEONARD EDMONDSON, Professor of Art, 1964-1986, died in July 2002. His initial appointment at Cal State L.A. was as professor and department chair. His administrative position continued until 1970. Leonard was a widely known printmaker of screen prints, etchings, and lithographs. Indeed, his obituary in the Los Angeles Times erroneously identified him as chair of the printmaking department at Cal State L.A. This was a position he had held at Otis Art Institute. In addition to printmaking and drawings, he painted in oils, acrylics, and water colors. Leonard studied art at UC Berkeley, where he earned B.A. and M.A. degrees in 1940 and1942, respectively. After service in army intelligence from 1942 to 1946, he began his long teaching career at Pasadena City College. Leonard's first one-man exhibition was at San Francisco's De Young Museum more than a half-century ago. He also mounted exhibitions at the Pasadena and Santa Barbara art museums. His book, Etching , was published in1973. His son Stanley graduated with a degree in art from Cal State L.A. The Emeritimes, Spring 2003 DOROTHY O'BRIEN, Professor of Recreation Education, 1951-1969, died on February 15, 2003 in Santa Barbara, after several weeks of failing health. She was 96. Dotty, as she was known, was active as a volunteer in the Braille Institute until her final illness. Her motivation was her own failing eyesight, caused by macular degeneration. Dotty joined the Cal State L.A. faculty in1951 after professional experience as a dancer and a teacher of dance, acrobatics, and other physical education courses, first in Washington and later in Montana. Dance had been her primary interest as an undergraduate at the University of Washington, though her athletic prowess there included playing forward on the women's basketball team and earning a letter for that sport. She earned her B.S. in 1927.After advanced dance classes with the Perry Mansfield Dance Company, she auditioned for the troupe and was accepted, and she toured with them in 1927-28. She then joined the faculty of the Washington State Normal School in Ellensburg, where she taught in the teacher education program and in the associated elementary school. Her children's classes included both dance and acrobatics. In 1933, she married Byron O'Brien, better known by his nickname, Irish. He was a salesman, and the O'Briens traveled around the northern tier of the western states, including Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana. Dotty enrolled for graduate study at the University of Montana, where she taught dance and swimming in women's P.E. while pursuing an M.Ed., which she received in 1941.The war then intervened, and Dotty and Irish went south, to San Antonio. When they returned to Montana after the war, they tried to accept those winters again, but California beckoned. They visited California in 1947 and never returned to the north. Dotty spent three years in the employ of the L.A. Department of Recreation and worked in North Hollywood. In 1951, she was hired to teach at L.A. State College in the Department of Recreation, on the old Vermont campus. She eventually returned to complete her graduate study, earning a Ph.D. in education at USC in1966. She retired in 1969 and the O'Briens first moved to Ventura. In 1972 they moved again, to Santa Barbara, and remained there for the rest of their life together. They celebrated their 60 th wedding anniversary before Irish's death in 1993. Dotty then became engaged in many community activities, particularly for the Braille Institute. In January 2001, she received a Community Hero award in recognition of her many contributions. These activities as well as details of her life were featured in an Emeritimes profile, in the Winter 2002 issue. A memorial service was held at the chapel of the Santa Barbara Presidio on March 30, attended by campus friends as well as friends in the Santa Barbara area. The Emeritimes, Spring 2003 ROBERT SHERWOOD, Manager of Television Production, 1964-1991, died on April 6, 2003 of undisclosed causes. He was 73 years of age. Bob came to Cal State L.A. in 1964 to teach educational broadcasting and develop production facilities. Formerly holding a joint appointment as coordinator of television programs and professor of television administration, he was renamed exclusively to the manager's position in the mid-1980s, when all the administrative professorships were eliminated at the onset of collective bargaining. He retired from the University in 1991, technically ineligible for emeritus status, but his long and cordial association with many faculty colleagues remained steadfast. Bob had a long career in television production, beginning in 1953 at WTAR in Norfolk, Virginia, followed by a similar position at WJIM in Lansing, Michigan. He earned a B.A. in 1962 at Michigan State University, and became a producer and director for educational television at WMSB. After his move to California in1964, he completed the requirements for an M.A. from Michigan State, earned in 1968. He served in the military, first in the Army and later in the Marines, as a noncommissioned officer in each case. He later joined the Naval Reserve from which he retired as a Commander. During his residency in Southern California he served for 20 years in the Los Angeles Sheriffs' Reserve, and also was active in training Peace Corps volunteers. Bob's diverse interests included all the performing arts and all the communications media. He was a member of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, the American Film Institute, the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, and the Pacific Broadcasters. For the community, he was a member of the California Association of Police Training officers and served as a docent at the Museum of Natural History. Bob is survived by his wife, Margaret; his sister, Ann Powell, of Detroit; three daughters and sons-in-law; a son and daughterin-law; and three granddaughters. Services were held at Forest Lawn, Glendale, on April 11. The Emeritimes, Spring 2003 HAROLD STORCH, Professor of Electrical Engineering, 1955-1987, died on December 28, 2002 in Mission Viejo, where he resided after his retirement in 1987. He was 80, and his family had observed that milestone with a surprise party shortly before his unexpected death. He joined the faculty at the Vermont campus in 1955, following a career in both the power and the communications industries. He was licensed as a professional engineer in both New York and California. He became one-fourth of the founding quartet of the engineering program, along with Les Cromwell, Bill Eggers, and Bill Plumtree. They developed the curriculum, organized the School of Engineering, and worked on the architectural design of the engineering building, particularly the laboratories and equipment. Harold served as a department chair for several terms, and was instrumental in establishing the student chapter of IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), for which he was the faculty adviser. His activities also included many school and university committees. Harold Storch was a native of New York City, and never lost its distinctive accent. He received the B.E.E. degree from CCNY (New York's City College) in 1944, back when CCNY was dubbed the poor kid's MIT. He later attended Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey, earning the M.S. in 1949. He and his wife Shirley moved to California in 1950, first to San Francisco, where he worked for the San Francisco Power Company, and then to Los Angeles, for a position at North American Aviation. He began teaching night courses in electrical engineering at the Vermont campus as an adjunct, and in 1955 decided to make teaching his career. The 32 years of that career were marked by strong friendships as well as academic achievement. The Emeritimes, Spring 2003 GEORGE W. WILLOTT, Professor of Recreation, 1950-1977. Word has been received of the death of George W. Willott in Manitowoc, Wisconsin one day following his 88 th birthday. George had returned in 1990 to Manitowoc, the city where he was raised, to be near family. He lived from1995 to 2001 in an extended care facility and moved to a nursing care center as he battled the onset and final stages of Alzheimer's disease. George served as chair of the Recreation Education Department until the early 1970s,when the department became a program administered through the office of the Dean of Fine and Applied Arts. As chair, George developed the first master's degree in recreation in California. The department under his leadership was known throughout the country as an outstanding program, with graduates in nearly every government, private, and nonprofit agency in the area. Many went on to advanced degrees and teaching positions at various colleges and universities. His practice of enlisting part-time faculty from the ranks of outstanding leaders of the field guaranteed students the most current, practical approach to service delivery, as well as provided them entrée to ideal job opportunities. Through his genius and creativity, students faced a demanding, dynamic curriculum in an emerging discipline focused on enriching the lives of participants. George believed in the paramount importance of leisure in human experience, and that the worthwhile use of one's free time was the goal of all education. People are most like themselves when they are at play, he used to say. Show me what a person does with and how he behaves in his leisure time and I'll know how evolved he is in spirit. He is remembered for his gentle wisdom, his ready laugh, and delicious sense of humor. His desk was a sea of papers, books, and file folders from which he could somehow extract the very document one requested. Students flocked to him, spending endless hours in conversations, sometimes profound, sometimes profane, but always enjoyable. Through his efforts, the Recreation Department held onto offices on the first floor with the intent of being closest to classrooms and to new students who wandered into the building, enticing them with the friendly, joyful atmosphere he tried to maintain in spite of the bitter politics that eventually became its demise. George lived his philosophy by extensive reading, cooking, auto mechanics, building and construction, landscaping, and working with children. He mentored young professionals and encouraged the careers of faculty, staff, and students. After he retired in 1977, the program struggled for lack of direction and was eventually abandoned. George was born November 3, 1914 in Appleton, Wisconsin, son of the late Joseph and Katherine Nemacek Willott. He grew up in Manitowoc, joined the Coast Guard, attended college at the University of Idaho, and taught and coached in northern California. He studied philosophy and graduated from Stanford University with a master's degree in education. In1937, he married the former Dorothy L. Eshom in Moscow, Idaho. She preceded him in death on September 2, 1991. The couple lived in Idaho for 13 years, moving to California in 1953. They raised three children. George was a member of St. Anne Catholic Church; California Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance; Phi Delta Kappa; and Delta Tau Delta Fraternity. Survivors include one daughter and son-in-law, Marta and Wally Newberry of Shingle Springs, California; four grandchildren; one sister, Rita Bohacek of Manitowoc; and one special niece, Susan Resch, of Whitelaw. He was preceded in death by two sons: Donald Laird Willott and Joseph Robert Willott, and one brother-in-law, Vic Bohacek. The Emeritimes, Spring 2003 DAVID NUMRICH, lifetime partner of Dorothy Gang and brother of Carol Numrich, died on January 9, 2003 after a long battle with cancer. Dave, age 66, had had a successful heart transplant in1996. He and Dorothy were together for nearly 16 years. The Emeritimes, Spring 2003 HANNA SHAY, wife of Carleton Shay (Education), died on January 23, 2003 of cancer, after a five-year siege. She was 77. She is survived by Carleton, their daughter Cathy and son-in-law Alex Miller, their son Ken and daughter-in-law Bonnie, and three grand-children. The Emeritimes, Spring 2003 LARRY JORDAN, director of analytical studies and data administration, died on January 14, 2003, following his retirement in December. The cause was cancer. Larry began his Cal State L.A. service in 1983 as manager of instructional computing at the Computer Center, but did not hold a concurrent faculty position even though he had a doctoral degree. He was widely known to faculty members, with whom he interacted on many projects. He is survived by his wife, Valerie, and two children, David and Amy. A memorial service was held on campus on March 25. The Emeritimes, Spring 2003 THERMAN BUDDY SWANN

, the Library reserves coordinator, passed away on January 24, 2003. Swann, who was employed at Cal State L.A. for 23 years, had

previously been a member of the order of Franciscan Friars for eight years. A memorial service was held on campus March 12. The Emeritimes, Spring 2003 PEARL WANG, widow of Charles Wang (Psychology) and stepmother of Fleur Yano (Physics), died on December 18, 2002 at the age of 86. Long active in the Chinese community adjacent to campus, she was a major donor to programs at Cal State L.A. for nearly 20 years. Some of her contributions were matched by external corporate donors. She established a scholarship for psychology students in memory of her husband, who retired in 1972 and died in 1974. She later helped fund the China Exchange Program, which was organized by Fleur in 1978-79. From1979 to 2000, that program brought many science graduate students as well as established scholars from China to our campus. Wang was a graduate of Hu Jiang University, Shanghai, in the School of Business. Following a brief career in management, unusual at the time for a young woman in China, she came to the United States for graduate study and earned an MBA degree at New York University. In New York she met her husband, then a widower with three children, and they subsequently were married. In 1954, the Wang family moved to Los Angeles, and in 1956 they became the first Chinese family in Monterey Park. The Emeritimes, Spring 2003 WULF GRIESSBACH, Professor of German, 1959-1980, died in May, 2003 at the age of 83. A native of Frankfurt, Germany, Wulf came to the United States with a Ph.D. from Goethe University in the early 1950s. After several years on the faculty of the University of Maine, he was hired by Cal State L.A.'s Foreign Language Department in fall 1959 to establish programs in both German and Russian. In 1960, Helen Zimnavoda assumed direction of the Russian program and Wulf continued on German. He was promoted to associate professor in 1963, and became chair of the department in 1964 upon the retirement of Florence Bonhard. He served in that position for three years. A specialist in German linguistic pedagogy, Wulf was instrumental in initiating a German minor in 1966 and a B.A. major in 1969. That was in the post-Sputnik decade when university language programs thrived. However, because Cal State L.A. did not adopt a foreign language requirement for baccalaureate degrees, enrollments in languages not represented by students' cultural backgrounds experienced serious difficulties on this campus. With the shrinking budgets allocated to the department in later decades, neither German nor Russian survived in the curriculum. Wulf, however, did not wait for the coup de grace. He retired in December 1980. The Emeritimes, Fall 2003 HERBERT J. LANDAR, Emeritus Professor of English, 1960-1991, died at the age of 75 on February 3, 2003 due to a heart attack. He was a prominent member of the English Department for 31 years, including service as its chair, and enjoyed an international reputation in the three areas of his expertise: syntactic theory, the classification of Native American languages, and language and culture. Herb's undergraduate background was in English literature and the classics, and he was a master of English prose style his entire life. He received a B.A. from Queens College in1949 and had intended to go on to study Indo-European linguistics, but by chance, while at Yale University, he heard Navajo and fell in love with the language. His doctoral dissertation was on Navajo syntax and, throughout his career, Herb came back to Navajo, publishing important analyses of many aspects of Navajo language and culture. Herb's checklists of North American Indian Languages and South and Central American Indian Languages, amounting to more than 350 pages, appeared in Current Trends in Linguistics and were revised for Native Languages of the Americas . His annotated bibliography of Sources (for the study of Native American languages), begun in the late '60s, appeared as his last major publication in volume 17 of the Smithsonian's Handbook of North American Indians . The subgrouping of Native American languages is a task requiring minute detail and constant reassessment of the pronouncements of earlier scholars. It was a task Landar was born for, and it occupied the greater part of his scholarly career. With characteristic modesty, Herb once wrote of this endeavor that he was devoted to the twin virtues of patience and drudgery, but his persistence and labor was rewarded by several works of lasting importance. His major work, Language and Culture , was published by Oxford University Press in 1966 and became a classic in the field. It remained in print for over a decade and was translated into Japanese. Herb is survived by his wife, anthropologist Muriel Myers, and a sister. A University memorial service is planned. The Emeritimes, Fall 2003 J. M.

A memorial service was held at their home on Thanksgiving Day, November 25, with many of her fellow writers in attendance. The Emeritimes, Winter 2004 GEORGE E. MANN, Emeritus Professor of Mechanical Engineering, 1957-1980, died on November25, 2003 of undisclosed causes. He was 87 years of age. George was born in Illinois in 1916. Shortly thereafter, his parents moved to Southern California, and he grew up on their citrus ranch near Indio. Caltech was his choice for higher education, and he earned bachelor's and master's degrees in aeronautical engineering in 1937 and 1938. He was licensed in California as a Registered Professional Engineer in 1949. First employed at Lockheed Aircraft Co., George left to found his own firm, Mann Engineering Co., shortly after the end of World War II. But after about a decade in engineering practice, he turned to teaching, and joined the Cal State L.A. faculty in 1957.His engineering interests broadened over time under the influence of innovative developments, including specialties such as solar power and adhesive bonding, and he obtained several patents. During sabbatical leaves, he traveled to Brazil and China, and participated in academic engineering activities there. On the faculty, he was widely known as a member of the founding cohort of the Faculty Club, before its modification as the University Club. Following his retirement in 1980, he continued part-time teaching and working on projects with students. George was married twice, and is survived by seven children and 17 grandchildren, all of whom he guided devotedly in their personal and intellectual development. Memorial services were held in Glendale on November 28 and 29. The Emeritimes, Winter 2004 ARTHUR J. (JACK) MISNER, Emeritus Professor of Political Science, 1955-1983, died on November 12, 2003, 20 years after his retirement from the faculty. He suffered a fall on November 5, and required surgery from which he did not recover. He was 82 years of age. Jack came to Los Angeles State College in 1955, after earning his bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in public administration at UC Berkeley, respectively in1942, 1948, and 1954. His previous employment included service as a lecturer, instructor, and administrative analyst in the Bureau of Public Affairs at Berkeley. He had also founded a government consulting firm, of which he was president. In the Cal State L.A. Department of Political Science, Jack was a specialist in both public administration and labor-management relations. He taught a variety of courses, but his primary role was as the creator of the M.S. program in public administration, the only such program in the CSU. He served as the administrative director of that program and as director of the Government Affairs Research Center. In public service, he was an active practitioner in the fields of his expertise, lecturing to and holding appointments on selection boards of public agencies, writing reports for government departments at local and national levels, and speaking to political groups. Much of his work was on behalf of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. With all these activities, he still managed to co-author five textbooks, primarily with his department colleague, Eugene Dvorin, and to participate actively in faculty and professional organizations. He served for several years as director of personnel for the California State Employees Association (CSEA), and was president of the Cal State L.A. chapter of CSEA for two years. He also was active in the Association of California State University Professors and the Los Angeles Metropolitan chapter of the American Society for Public Administration, serving a term as vice president in each. That chapter presented him with an award for his impact on the local public administration profession when he retired from the faculty in 1983. Jack was born in Los Angeles on July 14,1921 and attended local schools. Following his B.A. from Berkeley in 1942, he enlisted in the Navy and served four years on active duty during World War II. He was a lieutenant (j.g.) on the LST Anne Arundel in the invasions of Normandy, Southern France, the Philippines, and Okinawa, as he related in The Emeritimes of Spring 1996, which featured faculty reminiscences of the war. After the war, he remained in the Naval Reserve for38 years, retiring with the rank of lieutenant commander. After his official retirement from the University, Jack continued teaching in the Faculty Early Retirement Program for eight years, mostly in large classes of Political Science 150 held in King Hall Lecture Hall 1, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:00 a.m. He also enjoyed playing golf and occasional visits to the races at Santa Anita. However, his health began declining seriously about three years ago, curtailing his activities. He is survived by his wife Fern, daughter Gaile Van Dahlen, son Robert Lee, and five grandchildren. The Emeritimes, Winter 2004 ROBERT STRASSBURG, Emeritus Professor of Music, 1971-1983, died on October 25, 2003 in Pasadena. He was 88 years of age and had suffered a stroke previously, which was followed by complications that led to his death. Bob was a pianist, conductor, and composer, and one of the most esteemed teachers, recognized by an Outstanding Professor Award in 1976. He came to Cal State L.A. in 1971, following a distinguished career in Florida. He was named Miami Composer of the Year in 1955, and in 1958 founded the Greater Miami Youth Symphony, which continues its biennial Robert Strassburg Piano Concerto competition for aspiring young artists. A native of New York, born in 1915, Bob pursued higher education in New England. He earned a Bachelor of Music degree from the New England Conservatory of Music and a Master of Music degree from Harvard, where Igor Stravinsky was one of his teachers. When he and his wife, the late Kathryn Ulanoff, moved to Florida, they settled in Coral Gables and were very active in the cultural life of the Miami area. In the late 1960s, Bob and Kathryn moved to Los Angeles. Bob earned a Doctor of Fine Arts degree at the University of Judaism, for which he did extensive research on the compositions of Ernest Bloch. He spent the rest of his career at Cal State L.A. He was active in the Friends of Music, serving as its president and establishing scholarships in his name and in memory of Kathryn, who died about five years ago. They were married for 60years. Bob retired from the faculty in 1983 and continued composing, most notably an opera based on the life of Walt Whitman. He is survived by two sons and two grandchildren. A memorial service was held in Glendale on Thanksgiving Day. The Emeritimes, Winter 2004 WAYNE GLADISH, Librarian, 1987-2003, the University Library's collections development librarian, died of heart disease at the age of 55 during a summer vacation trip (2003). He and his wife, Christine, also a campus librarian, were visiting family in the Finger Lakes region of New York State. Wayne and Christine, better known as Kippy, came to California in 1974, when Wayne was appointed to the USC library as acquisitions librarian. He joined the Cal State L.A. library staff as acquisitions librarian in 1987. He held a bachelor's degree in economics from Kenyon College, followed by a master's degree in library science from the University of Buffalo School of Library and Information Science, which he received in 1973. His years in Buffalo reinforced his avid sports interests. He was a fan of the Buffalo Bills in football and the Buffalo Sabres in hockey. His baseball allegiance, for which Buffalo did not have a major league team, was divided between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Anaheim Angels. Wayne and Kippy both grew up in Niagara Falls, New York and attended high school together. They commuter-dated through their separate college years, and were married in1970. They had no children; his two brothers are his survivors. Wayne's health deteriorated in recent years as a result of diabetes. In 1998, he underwent bypass surgery, but his medical difficulties continued as the disease progressed. Plans for a memorial service are in progress. The Emeritimes, Winter 2004 EVELYN ELIZABETH (BETTY) DAYTON, wife of Bruce Dayton, emeritus professor of physics, died on December 13, 2003 following a stroke that occurred on December 10. Betty was 85 and had suffered from Alzheimer's disease for about 10 years. The Daytons moved from Pasadena to Carmel Valley in 1985, after Bruce retired. For a short time during Bruce's active years on the Cal State L.A. faculty, Betty worked as a costume specialist in what then was the Department of Speech and Drama. Her long-term activities in drama production were conducted in Altadena's Theatre Americana and California Theatre Ensemble. In Carmel Valley, she continued directing at area community colleges until the onset of her illness. A native of Texas, Betty earned bachelor's and master's degrees at the University of Texas-Austin in English and drama. In addition to Bruce, she is survived by a daughter Aruna, two stepchildren, a brother, six grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. The Emeritimes, Winter 2004 RUTH HOFFMAN, widow of Richard (Dick) Hoffman, died of natural causes on June 24, 2003 in Lexington, Massachusetts, where she moved about five years ago in order to be close to her daughter.

Dick was a professor of industrial studies. He was a typographer and book designer, and taught that specialty in his department's multifaceted program. The Emeritimes, Winter 2004 DANIEL A. AMNEUS, Emeritus Professor of English, 1950-1986, a Shakespeare scholar, died peacefully on December 18, 2003 at the age of 84 after suffering a stroke several weeks earlier. Dan joined the English Department in1950 and taught a variety of literature, language, and writing courses in his 36 years as a respected member of the University faculty. Among them were two courses in Shakespeare, a course in the Bible as literature, a course in American English, another in English language dialects, and courses in the art of writing and advanced writing. An author himself, he published several books and numerous articles. Among his book publications are Back to Patriarchy , The Mystery of Macbeth , The Three Othellos , The Garbage Generation , and Need T . No stranger to controversy, Dan angered feminists with his book on patriarchy, in which, echoing the 18th-century political and social philosopher J. J. Rousseau, he asserted that society was better served by a clear differentiation of the roles of the sexes, the natural role of the female being domestic. He was also an outspoken opponent of the Vietnam War and his Vietnam Chronology and articles advocating our withdrawal from Indochina were a noteworthy contribution to the literature surrounding that tormented period in our history. He was born on October 15, 1919, and earned his B.A. degree at the University of California, Berkeley in the spring of 1941. As with many young men of his generation, his college education was interrupted by World War II, in which he served as a combat engineer and participated in the Battle of the Bulge and liberation of Belgium. Returning to his university studies after the war, he earned an M.A. in English at the University of Southern California in 1947 and, after joining the Los Angeles State College faculty, his Ph.D. in 1953.An avid reader, Dan had many interests ranging from chess to military history, but his greatest pleasure was his children, Paul Daniel Amneus, of Placerville, Colorado, and Pamela Phelps, of Shelter Cove, California. He is survived by them as well as his son-in-law Todd Phelps, grandsons Clayton and Clark Phelps, and his devoted wife Patricia, who has called him a blazing star. . . [whose] compassion, kindness, humor, honesty, dignity, and intelligence will always be a wonderful part of our lives. The Emeritimes, Spring 2004 POLLYANNE BAXTER, Emerita Associate Professor of Music, 1970-1997, passed away on Sunday, December 14, 2004 after 15 months of battling breast cancer and its complications. Beloved by many students, colleagues and friends, she was one of the most dedicated and talented voice teachers in the Music Department, both in her part-time and her full-time career there. Born in Watsonville, California in 1932, Pollyanne attended Watsonville High School, then various colleges and universities, among them San Francisco State College, Glendale City College, and Los Angeles City College. She earned her B.A. in music at this university when it was still L.A. State (1956) and her master's degree in 1978, also at Cal State L.A. Of course, this does not tell the whole story: her extensive voice training and pedagogical studies went beyond regular college curricula. Her greatest influence was probably Esther Andreas, noted singer and pedagogue, and she also coached with Gerhard Albersheim and Henry Jackson. All three were members of the Department of Music faculty during their lifetimes. In addition, she coached with such notables as Nadine Connor, formerly of the Metropolitan Opera; Norman Shetler; and Hugo Strelitzer, formerly of the Berlin Opera. She also worked with Jean Pilon in vocal pedagogy and participated in the vocal program at the American Institute of Musical Studies in Graz, Austria (1976). Baxter's career encompassed both teaching and performing. As a teacher, she reached beyond her normal load at the University with her extensive private studio, and before her appointment as tenured associate professor, also with positions at the University of Redlands, Cal Poly Pomona, and Mount San Antonio College. In 1988 and1992, she also taught master classes in Tianjin, People's Republic of China and Tianan, Taiwan. Pollyanne Baxter was a gifted singer, blessed with a lovely soprano voice. Needless to say, her extensive vocal training played an important part in her formation as a performer. Her numerous concerts and recitals on and off campus included appearances in the award winning series, Characters in the Arts , on NBC, as well as many performances benefiting the opera workshop and scholarship programs such as the Faculty Vocal Extravaganza for the Friends of Music scholarship programs from1985 to 1993. In addition to all the above, Pollyanne was also a church musician, functioning both as soloist and music director. Throughout many years, she worked at various churches, especially First United Methodist Church in Whittier, where she served as soloist from1962 to 1986 and 1989 to 2002. In the interim between these periods, she also served as director of music there. From the fifties on, she directed choirs at such churches as Huntington Park Methodist Church, Sierra Madre Presbyterian Church in Pasadena, and First Congregational Church, Covina. For 10 years (1955 to 1965), she directed the Cannon Choraleers for Cannon Electric Company, Los Angeles. After her retirement from full-time teaching at Cal State L.A., she continued teaching under the Faculty Early Retirement Program, mainly to see her master's degree students through to completion of their programs. Another aspect of her many activities was her wonderful service on the Board of the Friends of Music until she was too ill to travel to the meetings. She especially did a magnificent job as program chair for the fall musicales. Hers was a life of giving, service, and unselfish support to family, friends, students, and colleagues. Pollyanne Baxter is survived by her husband, Francis Baxter, formerly head of choral organizations and music education at Cal State L.A.; son Norman; daughters Dawn Ann Gladden and Anna Beth Bernhard; son-in-law Gregg Bernhard; and grandson Jason Tyler Bernhard. Her memorial service took place December 23 at her church in Whittier. The Emeritimes, Spring 2004 RODERICK G. LANGSTON, Emeritus Professor of Education, 1952-1982, died on August 9, 2003 at his home in Monterey Park. He was 88 years of age. His wife, Charlesetta, followed him in death on December 30, 2003. Rod came to Los Angeles State College in 1953, and served as chair of the Department of Education from 1953 to 1956. Previously, he had served as president of Eastern Oregon College, in La Grande, Oregon, from1950 to 1953. He was an assistant professor of education at the University of Oregon from1948 to 1950, immediately following conferral of his Ed.D. degree in 1948 at Stanford University. A native of San Diego, he earned a B.A. and an elementary teaching credential in1938 at San Diego State College, and taught in elementary schools in San Diego and National City prior to World War II. In 1941, he earned an administrative credential at the University of Southern California. Rod was a commissioned officer in the Navy from 1942 to 1946, with assignments in Hawaii and Alaska territorial ports as well as stateside. He went up the ranks from ensign to lieutenant early in his service. Graduate study at Stanford followed his honorable discharge. At Cal State L.A., Rod's research and scholarship led to publications in major education journals. His interests were centered on the problems encountered by elementary teachers and on the teaching of American ideals. He developed the curriculum for the master's degree option in elementary teaching, and in addition to teaching the courses serving that option, he administered and graded the comprehensive exams for degree candidates. He also supervised student teachers placed within the University's service area. For the University, he served two terms in the Academic Senate, 1966 to 1969 and1975 to 1978. He retired in 1982. Rod and Charlesetta are survived by their daughter, Laurie Ann Langston Marsh. She and her husband now reside in the Monterey Park home in which the Langstons formerly lived. The Emeritimes, Spring 2004 DONALD C. LOWRIE, Emeritus Professor of Zoology, 1956-1972. The Emeriti Association has belatedly learned of the death of Donald C. Lowrie, emeritus professor of zoology, on January 10, 2000, following a brief illness. He was 89, and had been retired from the University since 1972, residing in Santa Fe. Don received his B.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Chicago, respectively in 1932 and 1942. His research field was arachnids, but his broader scientific interests led him to life membership in the Sierra Club and the Audubon Society. He was an active hiker and rock climber. During World War II and the Korean War, Don served in the Navy, stationed in Okinawa, and attained the rank of lieutenant commander. Prior to his faculty service in our ranks, he taught at the University of Idaho and New Mexico Highlands University. He joined the faculty of Los Angeles State College in 1956, when there were separate departments of zoology and botany within the Division of Science and Mathematics. Through all the administrative reorganizations of the faculty structure, including the formation of a combined department of biology, he continued to teach zoology courses until he retired in 1972. The Lowries later relocated to Santa Fe, where Don hiked and studied the vast southwest desert and taught at a local college. In the late 1970s, at the age of 69, he joined the Peace Corps and served in Paraguay. Don is survived by his wife Jackie and their three children. The Emeritimes, Spring 2004 EARL H. PHILLIPS, Emeritus Professor of History, 1966-1986, died in Pomona on January 23, 2004 atthe age of 77. The cause of his death was brain cancer. Earl was born on December 1, 1926, in Liverpool, England. He came of age during the Depression and World War II, and after military aviation service in the British Army, he emigrated to the United States. Always disdainful of the monarchy, especially in the 20 th century, and with an older sister married to an American G.I., Earl saw the United States as his future. He and his new wife, Audrey, settled in southern California after trying life in Sioux Falls, and he worked at a series of jobs ranging from milkman to land appraiser. But he also pursued higher education; indeed, the early morning schedule of a milkman allowed him to complete a B.S. in history at Los Angeles State College of Applied Arts and Sciences in 1961, the only alumnus to become a member of the Cal State L.A. history faculty. With a Woodrow Wilson scholarship, Earl went on to graduate study in history at the University of Southern California, and became a specialist in African history following field research in Nigeria. Eager to embark on a career in academia, he began teaching at CSU Fullerton, but soon moved to the Los Angeles campus, where he remained until retirement. In addition to a very successful teaching career, Earl's major achievements included the establishment of the first African studies program at the University, and he also co-founded the Korean-American studies program. He chaired the Department of History at different intervals for six years, and built a reputation as an outstanding administrator. Among his many personal interests, Earl was a student of the violin from childhood, and he maintained sufficient skill to venture amateur performance as a member of a string quartet. He was a man of absolute honesty and integrity, with a personality that captured the devotion of everyone privileged to know him. He is survived by his wife Audrey, three children, six grandchildren, and a sister. A memorial service was held on January 31, led by Reverend Albert Cohen. The family has established the Dr. Earl H. and Audrey G. Phillips Music Scholarship at Cal State L.A. The Emeritimes, Spring 2004 CLARENCE K. SANDY SANDELIN

He was a prolific book reviewer, and he served on the staff of Abstracts of English Studies . Prior to his relocation to southern California, he taught at the Army Command and General Staff College and several civilian institutions, including the University of Wisconsin. Following his appointment to Los Angeles State College, he became as distinguished for nontraditional as well as traditional teaching. He served as an instructor for two series of television courses, one of which was titled The Absurd Arts: Mass Media in Critical Perspective . His long-time colleague, Paul Zall, wrote, He braved teaching children's literature and any class where he could show his collection of Charlie Chaplin movies. Sandy was a leader in educational travel programs, and directed tours for students interested in history, culture, and literature to several countries in northern Europe and to the American Southwest. For the latter, he developed expertise in the tribal cultures of Native Americans. Charlotte Sandelin preceded her husband in death in 1999. Three children, five grand-children, and one great-grandchild survive them. The Emeritimes, Spring 2004 INEZ R.

The Emeritimes, Spring 2004 MARY GORMLY, Humanities and Social Sciences Librarian, 1962-1983, well-known as a Cal State L.A. humanities and social sciences librarian, whose active service years ran from 1962 to1983, died on July 19, 2004 at the age of 84. She had suffered from kidney failure and related disorders for several months. She was widely knowledgeable about the cultures of many Native American peoples, particularly those of the North American West. Her collection of art objects and her personal library were extensive. She came to this campus after a career that encompassed naval service in World War II, study in both the United States and Mexico, and employment in curatorial and library positions related to Native American cultures. Mary was born on October 14, 1919, in San Francisco. The family's roots, however, were in the Seattle area, and they settled in a house on the property of a family-owned business in Earlington. She had a twin brother, Jerry, now deceased, and a younger brother who survives them both, M. J. (Joe) Travers, a retired Navy commander. The Depression years led to the sale of the business property and loss of the house, and the family moved to Seattle, where they lived with their maternal grandparents. In 1934, Mary graduated from Seattle's Holy Names Academy; she then went to live with an aunt, her mother's twin, and attended Franklin High School, where she graduated in 1938. Her undergraduate education at the University of Washington was interrupted by World War II. Coming from a Navy family, she opted for military service in the WAVES, in which she served from 1943 to 1946. After her initial training at Hunter College in New York, and advanced training at Oklahoma A&M, she was stationed in Washington, D.C. as a yeoman (petty officer). There she worked in the Navy Department's Judge Advocate General's office, in a building located on Constitution Avenue (which now is the northern boundary of the Mall). Following her honorable discharge, she completed her program at the University of Washington with a B. A. in anthropology in 1947. She received an M.A. from Mexico City College in 1948 and served there as an instructor in 1948-49, concurrently studying further at the Escuela Nacional de Antropologia e Historia. On her subsequent return to the University of Washington, Mary continued her advanced studies and served as a teaching fellow and research assistant in anthropology from1949 to 1952. During her second stay in Mexico, she taught English in Mexico City from 1953 to 1955. Her interests then led her to employment as a librarian at the Washington State Museum, from 1955 to 1959, and in1959 she received a master's degree in librarianship from the University of Washington. She went on to a position as librarian and assistant curator at the Amerind Foundation, in Dragoon, Arizona, in which she served until 1961. In 1962, she was appointed to the professional staff of the Cal State L.A. Library. There she became a major reference resource for both students and faculty on ethnohistory as well as the art and anthropology of the indigenous cultures in the areas in which she had lived and worked. She also served as an editorial consultant for several faculty colleagues, whose books dealt with Central America, the American West, and early U. S. foreign relations. On several occasions she taught art history, covering Latin American, Native American, African, and Oceanian art. Mary's life was thus marked by her military service, her professional expertise, and her artistic preferences. She shared those interests with many friends, through many organizational memberships, including the American Legion, where she was a post commander. She was a member of the Navy League, the U.S. Air Force Association, and the Civil Air Patrol, in which she was particularly active around the height of the Cold War, holding the rank of lieutenant colonel. She also was active in the American Society for Aerospace Education, the Westerners, the support groups of both the Southwest Museum and the Autry Museum (now merged), the Cal State L.A. Emeriti Association, and CSU-ERFA. She held offices and other leadership positions in all. In the Emeriti Association, she served as president, vice president in both categories, secretary, and a member of the Editorial Board as well as the Executive Committee at large. For ERFA, she was a member of the State Council and later a Cal State L.A. delegate to the council. Mary was a member of many professional societies, including the American Anthropological Association, Western Historical Association, International Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences, International Congress of Americanists, and Western Social Sciences Association. She was an active participant in the Seminar on Acquisition of LatinAmerican Library Materials, and was interviewed for their oral history project. Her honors include election to Beta Phi Mu (Library Science), Phi Alpha Theta (History), and Phi Kappa Phi; she is listed in Who's Who of American Women and Who's Who in California . She received the Exceptional Service Award of the Air Force Association for her contributions to the American Society for Aerospace Education. The Emeriti Association has established a graduate fellowship in her name, as proposed and initiated by Carol Smallenburg, emerita professor of education. It will be designated the Mary Gormly Fellowship, for which the association's fellowship committee will consider outstanding master's degree students whose programs have a concentration in courses or a research project covering interests of, or issues concerning, indigenous peoples of the Americas. After Mary entered the skilled nursing facility where she ultimately died, while she was still able to communicate, she was informed of the proposed fellowship and was delighted by it. Mary was buried on July 30 at the Riverside National Cemetery, as she wished, following a Requiem Mass at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Monrovia. After the mass, a delegation from the American Legion conducted the full panoply of military honors, with the folded flag presented to her brother. Also surviving her are two nephews, a niece, and two cousins.

After his retirement in 1976, he retired to Carson City, Nevada, where he was president of the Nevada Retired Teachers Association and helped raise more than $20,000 for teacher education scholarships. He was also active in such community organizations as AARP and Common Cause. He is survived by his wife Dorothy, to whom he was married for almost 62 years, and five children: Dennis, Catherine Kreuter, Michael, George, and Linda Conti. The Emeritimes, Fall 2004 KEITH SNYDER, Professor of Music, 1953-1976, whose life and career were profiled in The Emeritimes in 2000, died on May 29, 2004 at the age of 94 following the onset of congestive heart failure. He is remembered as an outstanding musician and teacher in a career marked by educational and administrative leadership. Keith was born in Lincoln, Nebraska on May 16, 1910, the son of a Methodist minister. His musical roots were in church music, but he began piano lessons as a child and later also took trumpet lessons. In high school, choral music was the main emphasis, and in college he developed further interests in conducting ensembles and teaching. He received a bachelor's degree in music education in 1931 from Nebraska Wesleyan University. His first teaching job was at a high school, and there he became aware of the problems that music teachers face besides teaching itself, namely, the problems of administration. He followed his mentor from that school to a small college in Newbury, South Carolina, and became his assistant, teaching choral and instrumental music as well as piano. During the four years in that position, Keith realized that his professional goal was to teach at the college level in order to prepare public school music teachers. He went on to graduate study at Syracuse University, where he received a master's degree in music education and composition in 1937, adding a new interest in music psychology. Keith's ensuing career included eight years as supervisor of music at a public high school in Sayville, New York, followed by seven years at the Boston University College of Music. There he taught music education courses and supervised student teachers. He received an Ed.D. from Columbia University in 1953, and subsequently expanded his dissertation on music administration into an important book in that field, at that time unique. Following interviews in New York, Keith joined the faculty of Los Angeles State College in 1953, appointed as professor of music and head of the new Music Department. He was very successful throughout the many challenges facing the rapidly growing college, moving from the Vermont Avenue campus to the present site, and then from temporary bungalows into the permanent building. In the early sixties, he was instrumental in the establishment of the new School of Fine and Applied Arts, and he was appointed its associate dean in 1965. A further challenge arose in the change from the semester to the quarter system, when he was responsible for rewriting all the courses in the school. In 1973, Keith asked to return to his faculty position in the Music Department, where he resumed teaching music education courses and supervising student teachers. His graduate course in music administration became his specialty. In addition to department and school committees, Keith served on many university committees, notably the Educational Policies Committee. In the late sixties, he was elected president of the California Music Educators Association. He retired in 1976, but his dedication to service did not end. He responded with enthusiasm to Sidney Albert's organizational efforts in establishing the Emeriti Association, and served as its first president. The Emeritimes, Fall 2004 WILLIAM K. (BILL) SCHATZ, Campus Minister, University Ombudsman, and Director, Advisement Center, 1966-1991, who served Cal State L.A. from 1966 to 1991 as a campus minister, university ombudsman, and organizing administrator of the Advisement Center, died at his home in South Lake Tahoe on June 4, 2004. He had celebrated his 73 rd birthday with family and friends, but succumbed to colon cancer the following week after more than a year's struggle. Bill was born on May 26, 1931 in Evansville, Indiana. He received an A.B. degree from Elmhurst College in 1953, and both bachelor's and master's degrees in divinity from Eden Theological Seminary in 1957 and 1969, respectively. In June 1957, he was ordained as a minister by the St. Lucas United Church of Christ (UCC) in Evansville. During the sixties, which were marked by rapid population growth in Southern California, he became the founding minister of two new UCC churches, in Torrance and in Simi Valley. In 1966, Bill came to Cal State L.A. as a campus minister with the United Campus Ministries in Higher Education. Because of his ex-tensive background in counseling, he was appointed university ombudsman in 1968, at a time when many campuses were experiencing disruptive activities. Longtime friend and colleague Tom Laffey called him the best red tape' cutter I have ever known. He subsequently served as the organizing administrator of the campus Advisement Center, integrating services previously spread among departments. Beginning in 1978, Bill and his wife, Judith (Judi) Grutter, founded G/S Consultants, and trained counselors and human resource specialists in the use of psychological tests. He retired from the University in 1991. Bill served his community wherever the Schatz family resided. In Southern California, he chaired the Altadena Town Council, the Foothill Area Community Services Board of Directors, and the Southern California Conference of the UCC Camping Committee. In 1993, Bill and Judi moved to South Lake Tahoe, where they had vacationed for many years. Bill then served on the Tahoe Heritage Foundation Board, including a term as its president. A major mission of that foundation was preservation and restoration of the Tallac Historic Site, at which he served as a volunteer until his death became imminent. He also was a master scuba diver and instructor, and he taught diving to students from Lake Tahoe Community College. He commented that after many years of diving in the Pacific, he enjoyed his ocean without salt. Bill is survived by his wife Judi; his 102-year-old mother, Clara Zuspann, of Evansville; a son; a daughter; and five grandchildren. Memorial services were held on July 11 at the Torrance Seaside Community United Church of Christ, one of the two he served as its first pastor. The Emeritimes, Fall 2004 M. RICHARD ROSEMAN, Professor of Economics and Statistics, 1970-1996, died on September 4, 2004 from a massive heart attack. He was 73 years of age. Dick joined the Cal State L.A. faculty in 1970, after an extensive career as an economist in government and industry. He earned a B.S. in 1953 from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard University in 1958 and 1969, respectively. He was a fiscal economist at the U.S. Treasury Department from 1962 to 1965, serving as a member of the interagency group to advise the president of the United States regarding the economy and fiscal policy. He then relocated to Southern California, and from 1965 to 1967 he was an assistant professor at UC Santa Barbara as well as a consultant for the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica. From 1967 to 1969, Dick worked in Iowa as a research economist on the Iowa Regional Medical Economics Project and served as a senior consultant to Iowa's Governor Harold E. Hughes. He also taught at the University of Iowa during that period and completed his doctoral requirements. But California lured him back, and the Cal State L.A. Department of Economics and Statistics became his permanent professional affiliation. He served on the fiscal, faculty, and educational policy committees, among others. He retired in December 1996 and continued teaching in FERP status until 2001. Dick is survived by his wife Minda and daughters Margot and Risa. A memorial service, designated A Celebration of a Full Life, was held at their Studio City home on September 18. The Emeritimes, Winter 2005 DELWYN G. SCHUBERT, Emeritus Professor of Education, 1950-1988, died on August 20, 2004 after a long struggle with bladder cancer. He was born in Manitowoc, Wisconsin in October 1919; earned his bachelor's degree in English and biology from Wisconsin State University (Oshkosh) in 1941; and served three and one-half years in the U.S. Army Signal Corps, seeing action in the European theater during World War II. After the war, Del earned a Master of Science degree in educational psychology at the University of Wisconsin and a Ph.D. in the same field at Northwestern University. He married Beatrice Ann (Trixie) and began his career in education, first as a substitute teacher, and shortly thereafter as a psychometrist in Two Rivers and a high school teacher in Mattoon, all in Wisconsin. Moving with Trixie to California in fall 1949, Del was appointed as a part-time instructor in Cal State L.A.'s Division of Education, with a specialization in remedial reading, and was promoted to a full-time position on the faculty in spring 1950. He very quickly acquired a world-wide reputation in his field by dint of his many lectures and published articles, as well as several books. At Cal State L.A., Del distinguished himself as co-director of the Reading Clinic and, for his teaching, received the Outstanding Professor Award in 1972-73, but his outside professional activities were also impressive. These included two years of service in Wiesbaden, then West Germany, as director of elementary education and remedial reading for the U.S. Air Force schools in Europe, Africa, and Asia, a position that required him to travel and lecture in many countries; several summer visiting professorships in remedial reading at the University of Vancouver; courses in reading improvement for employees of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company and the Pasadena Banking Institute; and consultantships on reading to educational and optometric associations. Del's interest in the optometric aspects of reading education led him to involve himself in the controversies surrounding the speed reading mania of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Having studied the research on speed of eye movement and field of vision in reading, he took the position that most speed reading claims were bunk. Del published a total of some 70 articles and authored or coauthored several books, most notably The Doctor Eyes the Poor Reader , Improving Reading in the Elementary School , A Dictionary of Terms and Concepts in Reading , and Improving the Reading Program . The great tragedy of his life was the death of Trixie, with whom he had had three children: Patrice Ann, Heidi-Del, and Norman. Trixie, an active member of the Faculty Wives Club, was an aviatrix who was killed in a plane crash in 1965. Del never remarried, but devoted himself to his children, his work, his passion for musiche was a violinist with local community orchestrasand, later in life, with playing bit parts in films made by a son-in-law. The Emeritimes, Winter 2005 WILLIAM R. ESHELMAN, Librarian, 1951-1965, remembered by many emeriti as the college librarian in the 1960s, died on August 9, 2004 at his home in Portland, Oregon, of congestive heart failure. His death occurred two weeks before his 83 rd birthday. Bill was born in Oklahoma City on August23, 1931. He received a B.A. from Chapman College in 1943, an M.A. in English from UCLA in 1950, and a B.L.S. from UC Berkeley in 1951. He began his librarianship service at Los Angeles State College in 1951 and became college librarian in 1959. During these formative years for the library, he established high standards and sought substantive participation by the library faculty and staff. He served on the Faculty Council in 1962-63 and in the newly established Academic Senate from 1963 to 1965. He was instrumental in the design of the Library North building addition. In 1965, Bill resigned to become university librarian and professor of bibliography at Bucknell University, where he served until 1968. He then became editor of the Wilson Library Bulletin , a periodical published by the H. W. Wilson Company in New York. Serving in that position for a decade, Bill was influential in the library profession during an era marked by political upheaval and encroachment on civil rights. From 1979 to 1986, he was president of The Scarecrow Press, from which he retired. Following retirement, Bill continued to edit and write, and produced two books, both published by Scarecrow. Take Hold upon the Future: Letters on Writing, and Writers , by William Evenson and Lawrence Clark Powell, 1938-1946 appeared in 1994. His autobiography, No Silence! A Library Life , appeared in 1997. A lifelong peace activist, he was working before his death on a book about his experiences as a conscientious objector in World War II, drafted for civilian service and assigned to a camp in Waldport, Oregon. There he was involved in a fine arts program with subsequently distinguished writers and other artists. There is no information about the possibility of completion for this work. Bill is survived by his wife, Patricia, one daughter, two sons, and five grandchildren. The Emeritimes, Winter 2005 MARTHA M. BRAY, died on October 27, 2004 at the age of 87, of unspecified causes. She was the widow of Warren C. Bray, late emeritus professor of accounting, who died in May 1980. At the time of her death, she was living in Royal Oaks, a senior facility in Monrovia. She is survived by two sons and a daughter. The Emeritimes, Winter 2005 BETTY FRANCIS, died on September 1, 2004 at her home in La Cañada, of undisclosed causes. She was 77 years old and had been in failing health for about two years. The widow of George Francis, emeritus professor of accounting, Betty was also a CPA and George's partner in private practice. They had met in their student years at USC, and she received her bachelor's degree in accounting summa cum laude in 1948. Between 1949 and 1961, the Francis family was enlarged by seven children and the first of an eventual three dogs. They lived in Pasadena and enjoyed their campus-related friendships, many formed through the Faculty Wives Club of the early sixties, of which Betty was a very active member. They also were active members of their parish community. In 1971, George suffered a massive stroke, and Betty maintained the household and the accounting practice while seeing him through rehabilitation. He returned to teaching in 1972, and retired from the faculty in 1977. The next 20 years were marked by extensive travel, along with a gradual decline in their private practice. George had a second stroke in 1997 and died within weeks. With the children grown, Betty moved to a smaller house in 1998, located in La Cañada, following her recovery from the second of her two hip fractures. In her new community, Betty became an active volunteer in her new church, St. Bede's. She also maintained all her long-standing friendships, and George's life membership in the Emeriti Association passed on to her. She continued the activities she had always enjoyed, notably cooking, handcrafts, and bridge. Her family was instrumental in enabling her to stay in her home during her decline. Her funeral was held on September 6, following a mass at St. Bede's. The Emeritimes, Winter 2005 ISABEL NORBY, died on June 26, 2004 at her home on Whidbey Island, Washington, of unspecified causes. She was the widow of John Norby, emeritus professor of economics, who retired from the University in 1975. Isabel was 87 years old, having been born in Tacoma on October 22, 1916, and she grew up in Rainier Valley. The Norbys were married in 1939 and lived in Yakima initially. In 1950, they relocated to the Los Angeles area, when John was appointed to the faculty of Los Angeles State College. Shortly after they were settled here, Isabel and her daughter Thora were both stricken with polio. Although Thora fully recovered, Isabel needed an iron lung at the outset. She progressed to crutches and then to a walker, but her balance was insecure for the remainder of her life. She was known to have declared, I couldn't die. I had five kids. Isabel was active far beyond her home, volunteering for many civic and political causes. She also was a past president of what then was the Faculty Wives Club. She is survived by her five children, nine grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. The Emeritimes, Winter 2005 CONSTANCE (CONNIE) AMSDEN, Emeritus Professor of Education, 1961-1984, died at the age of 90 on November 2, 2004 in Palm Springs. She was a resident of Palm Desert for the last 15 years. Connie specialized in teaching reading in elementary schools. She gained much recognition for her approach, in which she combined phonics and linguistics in order to develop comprehension as well as mechanical facility. Her work influenced the teaching of reading in many Southern California school districts, particularly in Santa Monica and in the bilingual classes in Los Angeles. Born in Boston on August 19, 1914, Connie grew up in New England, and taught there in both public and private schools. She came to Cal State L.A. in 1961, and taught the various courses in the teaching of reading offered by what then was the School of Education. She resumed her own education concurrently, earning a Ph.D. in 1968 at Claremont Graduate School. According to colleagues with whom she maintained strong friendships, Connie enjoyed her retirement as much as she did her career. She is remembered for her great wit and zest for life. The Emeritimes, Spring 2005

WALTER SCOTT BEAVER, Professor of Theatre Arts, 1956-1984, Walter Scott Beaver, died peacefully on January 7, 2005 at the Montecito, California home where he had lived with his wife Elizabeth since their retirement. He was 80 years old. He had suffered from Parkinson's disease since 1996 and, during his final two years, lost his ability to walk or stand, and finally his speaking, swallowing, and breathing muscles were impaired. In 1971, Walter's neck was severely injured when he slipped, fell, and hit his neck on a chair arm. He was a quadriplegic until surgery and physical therapy enabled him to return to the classroom. Many colleagues and students remained unaware of the cause of the stiff neck that may have limited his action scenes, but certainly did not keep him off stage. Already a successful professional actor before he joined the faculty, Walt was instrumental in the physical planning of the campus theater. The restroom building near the main theater was commonly known as Beaver Hall and is still called that by old timers aware how upset he was by initial plans, which would have had the public bathrooms in the main building, where flushing toilets could compete with the performance. His devotion to the department also included the University as a whole. He was involved in the project for the planting of the alumni grove near the John F. Kennedy Memorial Library. Shiz Herrera, then a student but now a faculty member, says that Walt's philosophy of teaching by example was never more evident than when he played the bartender in a summer musical, The Big Rich . He was always on time, remembered his lines, remembered his blocking, and was always in good humor even during the long technical rehearsals. He never asked nor expected star status. He was just another member of the company. He directed more than 50 plays, most of them at Cal State L.A. A memorable directorial success was Hamlet in 1959, starring Robert Vaughn (later The Man from U.N.C.L.E .). Walt had selected his lead a year in advance to be sure that the student would be available, when Vaughn walked in from Los Angeles City College, asked to audition, and won the part. Walt also directed a musical Hamlet , which he wrote as Black Shadow, Black Prince . He wrote and staged several other musicals, most memorably the uproarious Help Stamp Out Puritans . His emeritus colleague Pete Goodman speculates that it would have succeeded in England if given the opportunity. Walt wrote the book, lyrics, and music for this and his other musicals, Shadow of a Prince , Tout les Deceptions de Paris , A Little on the Side!, and One Like Me . Other plays that he directed here include The Caine Mutiny Courtmartial, Macbeth, King Lear, Oedipus, East Lynn, Damn Yankees, Ah Wilderness, The Bells are Ringing, The Skin of Our Teeth, Side by Side by Sondheim, Dylan , and Plaza Suite . He yearned to be a pilot in World War II, but was forced by inadequate vision to become a glider pilot instead. Then, getting lost high over Texas grounded him back to the regular army. Even there he played unique roles. In New Mexico, he was secretary-assistant to the trial judge advocate and in Italy he operated a plant to generate oxygen for the use of pilots, training 300 others in the art. Any conceivable doubts about his future were resolved when he was given opportunities onstage to entertain troops as a singer. When he was mustered out of the army in1945, he had the good fortune of falling flat on the ice at Columbus, Ohio. He looked up, saw a travel agency, and promptly bought a one-way fare to Santa Barbara because an army buddy had described its beauty. He graduated in 1949 in theatre arts and English literature at Santa Barbara State College (before it was UCSB). He played many lead roles there as an undergraduate and later at UCLA, where he received an M.A. in 1951, and USC, where he received a Ph.D. in 1966. While still an undergraduate, he participated with Eleanor Roosevelt in a panel on the United Nations in Washington, D.C. Walter remained professionally active off campus as well. Even as an undergraduate, he appeared frequently on radio. He played Lincoln in Abe Lincoln in Illinois at the Pasadena Playhouse and again in Norman Corwin's The Rivalry at Theatre 40 and The Huntington Library. He was especially proud of Corwin's description of him as the greatest Lincoln since Lincoln. Walt also played Julius Caesar and King Lear at the Globe Theatre and had leading roles at Actors Co-Op, Burbage Theatre, and Celtic Arts Theatre. Among Walt's 10 big screen movies were Seven Brides for Seven Brothers , in which he sang The Loveliest Night of the Year as brother Lem. Others include The Solid Gold Cadillac , Bad Day at Black Rock, Somebody Up There Likes Me, Strange Lady in Town, The Violent Men, Backlash, and Jump Into Hell. He appeared in several movies that received Academy Awards for acting honors, though like Jack Benny and Bob Hope, he joked every spring about not winning that year. He was often seen on television in Murder She Wrote, General Hospital, Dallas, Divorce Court, Superior Court, Seinfeld, Climax, The Eddie Cantor Show, I Led Three Lives, Dear Phoebe, and San Francisco Beat . He performed in several made-for-TV movies, including leads on two Hallmark Hall of Fame productions and a PBS special on Hamlet. Walt was featured in several radio productions by Norman Corwin. He also played a leading role in a staged version of Corwin's famous radio show, On a Night of Triumph , which was produced by his wife Elizabeth O'Reilly Beaver at Theatre 40. He was a guest lecturer at the Otto Falckoner School in Munich, the Max Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna, and the State School for Dramatic Art in Stockholm. The obituary written by Elizabeth Beaver for the Santa Barbara News-Press lists first his membership in the Emeriti Association, followed by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, the Screen Actors Guild, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, Actors Equity, and the Dramatists' Guild. In addition to his widow, he is survived by a daughter, Diana Fourney, who was also with him when he died. The Emeritimes, Spring 2005 NORMAN D. BERKE, Emeritus Professor of Education, 1966-1992, died on February 2, 2005 in Los Angeles. He was 78 years of age and had suffered from heart failure. Norman joined the Cal State L.A. faculty in 1966 and retired in 1992. He directed the reading program in the former Department of Secondary Education and taught courses in that program, including diagnostic and remedial procedures for clinicians. He received a B.A. in 1949 from the University of Buffalo, an M.A. in 1951 from Columbia University, and an Ed.D. in 1966 from the State University of New York at Buffalo. Norman is survived by a close and devoted family: his wife Phyllis; their daughter and son-in-law, Beth and Seth Weisbord; son Steven; five grandchildren; sister; sister-in-law; and many nieces and nephews. The Emeritimes, Spring 2005 GERHARD (HARRY) BRAND, Professor of English, 1960-1992, died on December 23, 2004 in Seattle, where he and his wife had lived since his retirement in 1992. The English Department faculty held a memorial program for him on February 4, 2005. Gerhard was born in Vienna, Austria, but at the age of 12 he fled the Nazi-occupied city with his mother and older sister. The family reached the U.S. and settled in Hartford, Connecticut, where he attended public school and completed his undergraduate education at Trinity College in 1949. In the early 1950s, the Brands moved to Los Angeles, and Gerhard pursued his graduate studies in English at UCLA. His first full-time teaching position was at Cornell University, where he taught from 1957 to1960. That year he joined the English Department at Cal State L.A. Originally trained as an Americanist, Gerhard was as well a devoted student of continental and world literature, and in a short time these became his primary fields of instruction. For over 30 years, and with exemplary success, he taught a wide variety of courses in world fiction and drama, from the ancients through the 20 th century. Gerhard also wrote a large number of short incisive critical essays, many for the Salem Press, but it was the classroom that was his real love, and it was there that his intelligence and his passionate devotion to literature were most fully displayed. For several decades, Gerhard, along with his colleagues, Edward Abood and Irwin Swerdlow, made the study of comparative literature a significant and dynamic part of the Department's achievement and reputation. Even with his retirement and move to Seattle, teaching was to remain Gerhard's central calling. Until shortly before his death, he continued teaching in various extension programs in the Seattle area, with characteristic success. Throughout his career at Cal State L.A., Gerhard was also an outspoken and deeply committed champion of faculty rights. He was a major figure in the movement to establish the campus faculty union, and he was ever ready to resist aggressively any perceived infringements on the principle of faculty autonomy or assaults on the humanistic values he treasured. He also showed his dedication to these precepts during his terms on the Academic Senate. Gerhard is survived by his wife Ann, and by Rachel and Madeleine Brand, daughters of his first marriage. The Emeritimes, Spring 2005 HARRY DIAMOND, Emeritus Professor of Criminal Justice, 1960-1979. The Emeriti Association has received indirect word of the recent death of Harry Diamond, emeritus professor of criminal justice. Harry served on the faculty from 1960 to 1979. His area of expertise was in administration of criminal justice systems. He received a B.A.in 1936 from Brooklyn College and an M.A.in 1937 from New York University. He then went on to a career with the New York Police Department. In 1957, he received an MPA degree from the City College of New York, which furthered his interest in administration. Following his appointment to the Cal State L.A. faculty, he continued his graduate study and received a Ph.D. degree in 1967 from USC. The Emeritimes, Spring 2005 EDWARD OWINGS GUERRANT, Professor of History, 1954-1980, died of natural causes at his Altadena home on March 24, 2005. He was 94 years old. He came to Los Angeles State College in 1954 as a temporary replacement in Latin American history for Louis DeArmond, but was given a tenure-track appointment the next year. Although he retired in 1980, he continued to teach occasional classes up to 1991.He was first head, then chair of the department from 1957 to 1961 and 1966 to 1969.As chair during a period of rapid growth, he successfully recruited many young faculty members, including five who eventually received Outstanding Professor awards: Dick Burns, Stan Burstein, Dan Crecelius, Don Dewey, and Sam McSeveney. Junior faculty especially treasured him for his equitable scheduling. Whether junior or senior, faculty were given comparable schedulesan 8 a.m. course for those whose evening class ended at 8 p.m., and a 9 a.m. course for those whose evening course ended at 10 p.m. Although near retirement, he served as associate chair in 1977-78. Ed published four books: Roosevelt's Good Neighbor Policy (1950), Modern American Diplomacy (1954), Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt: Comparisons and Contrasts (1964), and Toward a More Perfect UnionThe Constitution in Historical Perspective (1967), as well as a number of journal articles. In 1988, he published the Civil War diary of his grandfather, also Edward O. Guerrant. Although he was born in Danville, Virginia, Ed spent most of his life in Altadena. His family moved to Southern California when he was one year old. His father managed a family business, New York Hardware Trading Company, which specialized in sporting goods as well as hardware. They moved to Santa Rosa Avenue (Christmas Tree Lane) when he was eight, and he lived there until going to North Carolina to attend Davidson College, where he graduated in 1933 with Phi Beta Kappa honors. The family was still living in Altadena when Ed died. Two years after graduation, he married Helen Daggett, who lived only until 1938. After M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the USC in 1939 and 1942, he was an instructor for two years at Caltech where he met Charlotte, his wife for more than 60 years. He was writing an article for the Caltech alumni magazine, for which she was associate editor. He went to Washington, D.C. for government employment in 1944, and he and Charlotte were married that year in Alexandria, Virginia. After one year in the Office of Inter-American Affairs and another year at the State Department, he taught for eight years at Davidson College, where he was promoted to professor. He maintained his California ties by teaching summers at USC and thus was known to the recruiters staffing the relatively new Los Angeles State College. During retirement, the Guerrants enjoyed many visits with relatives in the South and elsewhere. They spent nearly every August in Ocean Park, Washington, where five generations of the family regularly vacationed for more than a century. Ed is survived by his wife Charlotte, and by daughters Helen and Lucy, son Edward, Jr., and three grandsons. A memorial service was held April 9 at La Cañada Presbyterian Church. The Emeritimes, Spring 2005 ANTHONY HILLBRUNER, Professor of Speech Communication, 1954-1980, whom many of us remember for his elegance of speech and dress, died of pneumonia on December 15, 2004 after a short illness. Tony came to Los Angeles State College in 1954 after teaching stints at the University of Denver and the University of Oregon, and briefly at Stanford University. Between then and his retirement 26 years later, he taught an impressive variety of courses, including 28 in speech communication, three in American studies, and one in language arts. He was especially interested and expert in American and British public discourse and rhetorical theory, and was called upon by the Los Angeles Times for critiques of U.S. presidential inaugural addresses. He also had a strong interest in such diverse subjects as the intellectual history of the U.S., the oral interpretation of literature, and nonverbal communication, all of which he taught at one time or another. Besides his teaching, Tony had several important administrative and academic governance positions at Cal State L.A. He served as executive secretary of the Institute for American Studies; co-chair of the Department of Speech and Drama; coordinator of American studies, a post he held for 11 years; and member of the Letters and Science Assembly, the Academic Senate, and many department, school, and university committees. Tony was a very active scholar, with articles in some dozen major journals, many papers, and lectures presented at professional meetings, and collaborations on several books in his field. He was the sole author of Critical Dimensions: The Art of Public Address (Random House, 1966) and many critical reviews. In addition, he served as editor of the American Public Affairs Newsletter and co-editor of Western Speech and The Quarterly Journal of Speech . His consultancies included publishing houses and Los Angeles County executives. His many talks on speech communication to school and university groups in the U.S. and the U.K. were another public service. He was born in Chicago on February 10, 1914. During World War II, he was a tool and die maker, an occupation considered essential to the war effort. Between 1949 and 1953,married to Laura and with a first child, Anthony J., he attended Northwestern University, earning B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees, with a major in rhetoric and public address and minor in literary interpretation. A year later, our Speech Department was able to lure him from Stanford, as he himself recounted in The Emeritimes edition of Fall 1997 celebrating the University's 50 th anniversary, with the opportunity to develop an interdisciplinary program in American studies that it was believed would eventually lead to a doctoral program. Tony actually did later propose a joint doctoral program with UCLA. Meanwhile, once secure in his position at Los Angeles State College, he and Laura were inspired to have a second child, Tina Laurie. Tony's interest in British public address took him to England during the 1970s. He spent six months as a scholar-in-residence at Cambridge University in 1972, one summer, at Oxford in 1977, and six months at Queen's College in 1979. He was the recipient of several merit awards: Significant Scholar awards from the University of Missouri and the University of Southern Illinois, Outstanding Critic citation at the CSU Rhetorical Criticism Conference (Hayward, 1981), and a Distinguished Service Award from the Western Speech Communication Association. He received institutional grants at Cal State L.A. for research in speech criticism and a creative leave for research on The American Tradition in Public Address. His visiting professorships included Whittier College and Pennsylvania State University. In his book, That's A Good One!, Don Dewey wrote of Tony, [He was] always my idea of what a Professor should look like . . .. Anthony Hillbruner was not only a man who looked like the ideal professor; his broad achievements confirmed his authenticity. Bob Douglass, one of his department chairs, remembers him not only for his scholarship, but for his personal qualities as well: Always a gentleman, Tony was soft-spoken, courteous, warm, quietly dignified, altogether likeable, and a valuable colleague with a reality orientation in the affairs of the department. He is survived by son Tony and daughter-in-law Alice Hillbruner, daughter and son-in-law Tina Laurie and Paul Barry, and four grandchildren. The Emeritimes, Spring 2005 SIGMUND H. JAFFE, Emeritus Professor of Chemistry, 1958-1986, died January 3, 2005 in Camarillo. He was 83 years of age. Following five years in industry as a supervisor of experimental physics and chemistry for the Air Reduction Corporation, Sig came to what then was Los Angeles State College in 1958. He led the effort to organize the Department of Chemistry, then part of the Division of Science and Mathematics, and became its first chair. In the years that followed, he was active in academic governance, serving on most university committees, the former Faculty Council, and the Academic Senate. He also did research, both on campus and as a consultant for Hughes Tool Company and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. During his sabbatical leaves, he did research at Queen Mary College, University College of London, and twice at the Weizmann Institute in Israel. He received the Outstanding Professor Award in 1974. He was an excellent lecturer in courses as varied as physical science, introductory chemistry for health sciences, general chemistry, quantitative analysis, and physical chemistry. He published 20 papers in aqueous electrochemistry, propellant chemistry, and atmospheric kinetics related to air pollution. In research, he mentored a dozen undergraduates, five master's students, and one postdoctoral associate. He also served as the department advisor for foreign students and teaching credential candidates. On campus, Sig always enjoyed discussions with faculty outside of chemistry. He made a point of eating in the former faculty cafeteria and later in the main student cafeteria in order to interact with both faculty and students in other disciplines. Sig was born on March 1, 1921 in New Haven, Connecticut. His father was a plumbing contractor who died when Sig was 10. During the Depression, his mother supported her family by working as a seamstress. Sig initially helped by going around town on his bicycle, offering to fix anything mechanical. He worked at various other jobs, including a movie theater, where he progressed from janitor to projectionist. Prior to World War II, he worked as a machinist in 1940-41. During the war, he volunteered and served in the Navy from 1941 to 1946. He was a chief motor machinist mate in charge of the engine room on Landing Ship Tanks (LSTs). He participated in all the major landings in North Africa, Italy, France, and the Pacific. In the D-Day invasion, he was among a handful of survivors when his ship, LST 376, fully loaded with 400 troops, munitions, tanks, and a crew of 157, was torpedoed in the English Channel. He swam for in the Channel for 12 hours, until he and two others were picked up by a British destroyer and taken to Northern Ireland. He returned to Connecticut for about a month, and then was assigned to LST 959, which served in the Pacific. (Years later, he found that a total of 37 of the Atlantic crew had survived, and he participated in their several reunions.) After the landing on Okinawa and VJ Day, his ship provided transport duty in the repatriation of Japanese soldiers from northern China. On return to civilian life, he attended New Haven State Teachers College in 1946-47. He then transferred to Wesleyan University, where professor M. G. Burford, a physical chemist, sparked his interest in chemistry. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and he graduated in 1949 with high honors in chemistry. He subsequently earned his Ph.D. at Iowa State University in 1953 under the direction of Frank Spedding. In addition to Phi Beta Kappa, he was a member of the American Chemical Society, Sigma Xi, and Phi Lambda Upsilon. Sig became an emeritus professor in 1986. After he moved from Altadena to Camarillo Leisure Village, he continued to teach and lecture to high school and community college students on a volunteer basis. He continued to swim daily and exercise regularly until shortly before his death. He headed many activities at the Village, where, just as at the University, he was known for his quick wit and particularly for his consummate puns. One of his popular science lectures was entitled What's the Matter? He also wrote articles for the newspaper in Leisure Village. He and his wife Elaine raised funds for the Brandeis Library in Massachusetts. They had been active in the Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center and became similarly active in Temple Ner Ami in Camarillo. He is survived by Elaine; two sons, Matthew and Paul; Paul's wife Barbara; and three grandsons. The Emeritimes, Spring 2005 EDWARD A. MALJANIAN, Emeritus Professor of Health Science, 1963-1991, died in Pasadena on March 26, 2005. He was 71 years old, and had suffered from Parkinson's disease for many years. Ed received his B.A. in 1963 and M.A. in 1968 from what then was California State College, Los Angeles. He was appointed to the faculty in the former Department of Health and Safety Studies in 1963, following several years as registrar. In addition to his department and school activities, he served in the Academic Senate from 1969 to 1976. He also taught part-time at East Los Angeles College and Rio Hondo College early in his teaching career. For the community, he served as a reserve officer in the Arcadia Police Department, from 1975 to 1992. He retired in 1991 and was named to emeritus status shortly thereafter. Ed was born in Los Angeles on July 10, 1933 and attended neighborhood schools. During his youth, he became an Eagle Scout. From 1954 to 1956, he served in the U.S. Army Signal Corps, stationed in Turkey and assigned to decoding duties. Following his honorable discharge, he worked briefly in sales before his employment at Cal State L.A. Services were held on March 30 at St. Dominic's Church in Eagle Rock, with a military Honor Guard participating. In addition to his wife Lilly, Ed is survived by four children from his first marriage, two stepchildren, and 12 grandchildren. The Emeritimes, Spring 2005 RASHAD ELIAS RAZOUK, Emeritus Professor of Chemistry, 1968-1978, died January 17, 2005 at the age of 93. Although he became frail in recent years, he had been in good health until he suffered a heart attack at the end of December. Rashad was born on August 22, 1911 in Dumiat, Egypt. He received a B.Sc. in Chemistry with first class honors in 1933, an M.Sc.in 1936, and a Ph.D. in 1939, all from Cairo University. He was an assistant and associate professor of chemistry at Cairo University from 1939 to 1950. He held the position of head of the Chemistry Department at Ain Shams University in Cairo from 1950 to 1966, and served as vice dean of the faculty of science from 1954 to 1960. He was a professor of chemistry at the American University in Cairo from 1966 to 1968, and was also the acting director of the Division of Surface and Colloid Chemistry at the National Research Center in Cairo from 1954 to 1968. During this period of his career, he was one of the most distinguished scientists in Egypt. He took sabbatical research leaves at Exeter University in England, Paris University (Lyon), the Institute of Catalysis in Berlin, and the University of Southern California. He came to the United States in 1968 and was appointed professor of chemistry at Cal State L.A., where he served from 1968 to 1978. He taught general chemistry, quantitative analysis, and physical chemistry, and also consulted for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Lockheed Aircraft Service Co. He was named professor emeritus on his retirement in 1978. Rashad published 48 papers, mainly in the field of the adsorption and surface chemistry and catalysis. He was a member of the Egyptian Academy of Sciences, the Institut d'Egypte, and the Board of Editors of the Egyptian Journal of Chemistry . He also was a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemists, and a member of the American Chemical Society and the California Association of Chemistry Teachers. He recently received recognition for his 60-year membership in the Royal Society of Chemistry. The decision to come to the United States was difficult, since he already was a distinguished and successful scientist in Egypt. At that time, he and his family could bring only a few pieces of furniture and a very limited amount of currency from Egypt. His decision to move was made in order to afford his children, Redi and Rami, a better education in the U.S., even though they had to leave their apartment and most of their possessions behind. Both of his sons are now successful engineers working in California. In the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Rashad is remembered as a versatile teacher, ranging from the freshman to the senior level of instruction. He was fluent in both Arabic and French, so that he was particularly valuable in advising Middle East transfer students. He was always very courteous both to students and faculty, and will be long remembered by his colleagues as a fine human being. After he retired, he donated money for an endowed scholarship for a student in physical chemistry, which the department named the Razouk Award. In his retirement, he and his wife always came by taxi to department functions, usually at Christmas, with the exception of this past year. He was a member of the Cairo Rotary Club, and he served as president of the Rotary Club of Heliopolis in 1959 and 1960. He was an avid bridge player, both at Cal State L.A. and in his retirement in Burbank. He was active in the Melkite church, both in Egypt and the United States. He received the honor of the Cross of Saint Mark from the Eastern Orthodox Holy See of Alexandria in 1967. He was preceded in death by his first wife, Emily, and is survived by his second wife, Henrietta Doche-Razouk, two sons, and two grandchildren. The Emeritimes, Spring 2005 JOHN M. AUSTIN, Emeritus Professor of Education, 1960-1982, died on April 27, 2005 after a short illness. He was 88 years of age. John served on the Cal State L.A. faculty from 1960 until his retirement in 1982, and participated in FERP for several years afterward. His field was secondary education. He earned an A.B. in 1940 from what then was the state college in Santa Barbara (now UCSB) and an M.S. in educational administration from USC in 1959. He resumed his graduate education after both military and civilian teaching and received a Ph.D. in human behavior from U.S. International University. On completing his undergraduate education, John enrolled in the UCLA civilian pilot training program, in which he earned his pilot's license. In 1942, he signed up for what then was the Army Air Corps, serving in World War II. During the war, he flew 29 different types of planes as a test pilot, and covered millions of miles without an actual crash but with many close calls due to various malfunctions. Those problems led to redesign of the parts involved. After the war, he was employed as a consultant on aviation education for the California State Department of Education's Bureau of Aviation Education. From 1949 to 1951, he was the principal of Moorpark High School, but was then recalled to the military for service in the Air Force during the Korean War. After his active service, he retained the rank of major and senior pilot, USAF Reserve, inactive. In 1956, John accepted a position as assistant professor of air science at UCLA and remained there until he came to this campus. He is survived by his wife, Arlene, to whom he was married for 52 years. Also surviving is his twin sister, Sarah Austin Burbank, of Baltimore. The Emeritimes, Fall 2005 BEN F. SCHERER, Emeritus Professor of Safety Studies, 1963-1986, died on August 10, 2005 at the age of 82. Following abdominal surgery, he suffered complications that he could not overcome. Ben came to Cal State L.A. in 1963, having earned a doctorate in health science (H.S.D.) in1961 at the University of Indiana. Appointed to the former Department of Health and Safety Studies, he taught courses at all levels and was active in the former School of Fine and Applied Arts as well as his department. Before his doctorate, Ben had earned a B.A. in 1953 at the University of Tampa and an M.A. in 1954 at Kent State University, and had taught at each of those institutions. Following his retirement in 1986, Ben and his wife, Betty, returned to their Florida roots, residing in Clearwater. There he continued his activities in veterans' organizations. He was much decorated for his valor in World War II, particularly in the Battle of the Bulge, having earned the Purple Heart with bronze stars. Beginning in 1948, Ben organized the annual reunion of his former paratroopers' company, now a tradition. His memberships included the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and Disabled American Veterans. In addition to his wife of 59 years, Ben is survived by a daughter and son-in-law, two grandchildren, and two greatgrandchildren. Ben's two sisters and stepmother also survive. The Emeritimes, Fall 2005 BERNARD J. (BERT) SOMERS, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, 1960-1984, died on June 18, 2005 at the age of 79 from cancer and its complications. He retired from the faculty in 1984, but continued teaching on FERP until 1995. He was one of a large number of FERP participants in the 1980s who filed and won a grievance over an attempt to cut the duration of their eligibility after they had entered the program. Bert was a clinical psychologist who came to the Cal State L.A. faculty in 1960. In addition to teaching, he served as director of the campus Psychology Clinic during the 1960s. He consistently received superior student ratings, particularly in clinical courses, and supervised many M.A. theses. He also served as a faculty adviser to several student organizations. His professional activities were devoted to his private clinical practice, including group therapy. He wrote many articles that appeared in professional publications, including the Journal of Humanistic Psychology . Bert's life from childhood on was involved with people in need. At the age of four, he was brought to live in Brazil by his parents. His father was an industrial engineer, employed there in development projects. His mother became much concerned with the poverty she saw around them, and she and Bert became involved with efforts at feeding the poor. Those experiences strongly influenced his social activism in adulthood. In 1944, at the height of World War II, Bert was 18 and he enlisted in the Navy. He was sent to Dartmouth College for training and then to the Pacific for active duty. After his discharge, he returned to Dartmouth and earned a B.A. in zoology in 1948. He went to Columbia University for further study, changing his major to psychology. He earned an M.A. in 1952 and a Ph.D. in 1958, both in clinical psychology. Following his relocation southward and westward to L.A., drawn by memories of tropical Brazil, Bert built both his academic career at Cal State L.A. and his clinical and community activities on the west side. He served as a clinical consultant to a number of hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers, and the UCLA Law School. He taught rehabilitation counseling in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, in addition to related courses in our curriculum. He was devoted to social justice and peace movements. In particular, he served as a draft counselor during the Vietnam War, joined in the anti-nuclear movement in the 1980s, and more recently focused on environmental concerns. He also traveled widely, including trips to India, Nepal, and Thailand, in the spirit of Buddhist pilgrimages. At home he enjoyed gardening, reading, and music of many genres. Bert is survived by his wife, Virginia Mullin, a clinical psychologist. Also surviving are two brothers, a daughter and a son from a previous marriage, a stepdaughter, and two grandchildren. A memorial service was held in August. The Emeritimes, Fall 2005 WILLIAM L. STERNAL, Counselor, 1965-2003. William L. Sternal, a counselor who held additional positions at various times, including associate dean of students, director of counseling, and director of other student services, died on July 9, 2005 at the age of 65. He suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and retired at the end of 2003. Named an emeritus professor in 2005, he succumbed soon thereafter to the ravages of ALS, further complications of pneumonia. Bill came to Cal State L.A. in 1965 as a counselor and began a career of service to the entire campus community, including faculty governance as well as student support. He held positions on bodies directly devoted to student interests, including an advisory committee to the vice president for student affairs, but also served on committees dealing with fiscal and educational policy. Dedicated to individual counseling, Bill held California licenses as a psychologist and a school psychologist. He began his education in his home state, Minnesota, and received a B.A. from the University of Minnesota in 1962. He then went on to an M.A. in 1964 from the University of North Dakota and an Ed.D. from Indiana University in 1966. But he never stopped studying the fundamentals of human behavior, and as recently as 2002, completed a program in psychoanalysis at the Southern California Psychoanalytic Institute. Bill was born in Duluth, Minnesota on July 23, 1940, the youngest of four children. He grew up in the woodlands around Lake Superior, and participated with many members of an extended family in fishing, hunting, and other outdoor activities. He also enjoyed a particular indoor activity, singing, and played the guitar and banjo. His preferred genre then was folk music, and he sang and strummed throughout his college years. During his stay in North Dakota as a graduate student, Bill met the former Diane Crandall, and they were married in 1964. After they moved to California for Bill's new, and permanent, job, they had two sons and a daughter. On campus, Bill joined the Bel Canto Singers for a different vocal genre; he also participated in some of the faculty/staff extravaganzas. His musical avocation culminated with his acceptance into the Masters of Harmony, a barbershop chorus, in 1989. He participated in five international contests in which the Masters won gold medals. Bill traveled widely. With the Masters of Harmony, he toured the British Isles and parts of Canada, as well as many states. In 2001, he drove extensively in Europe, through Poland, Germany, and Austria. His wanderlust may have arisen during his participation in an exchange program, when he served as a counselor at Macquarie University in Australia during 1986. That wanderlust never left himafter his retirement he took French lessons, hoping for a chance to go to France. But his symptoms went downhill, and in April 2005, Bill moved to the Atherton Baptist Home, where he received increasingly necessary support and assistance. Although he underwent many forms of therapy, remission in ALS is extremely rare, and he did not reach the equilibrium of Stephen Hawking. Bill is survived by his wife, three children, and three grandchildren. A memorial service was held on July 14 at the Holy Family Catholic Church in South Pasadena. The Emeritimes, Fall 2005 JOSEPH STUBBINS, Emeritus Professor of Education, 1959-1980, died on July 10, 2005 at the age of 89.The cause was illness associated with age. Joe came to Los Angeles State College in 1959 specifically to establish a rehabilitation counseling program in what then was the Division of Education. In that venture, he had the assistance especially of Donald Mortensen, David Bilovsky, and a generous government grant. The program's success was abetted during Joe's administration by the addition to the faculty of Leonard Steinberg, Dorothy Perkins, and Bernard Somers. Joe remained in charge of the program for roughly half of his 21 years of full-time faculty service, and is remembered by his colleagues for his strong leadership and devotion to the students. Joe's additional professional activities included contributions to his field in professional journals and at international meetings and workshops. He had valuable interactions, especially with colleagues in the Hispanic world, spending a year's sabbatical leave working in the field in Peru. He published two articles in Spanish in the Revista interoamericana psicológica . Born in Toronto on May 19, 1916, Joe majored in history at the University of Toronto, earning a B.A. in 1945 and an M.A. in 1946. He then moved to New York City, where he met and married Bert, a charming lady with a sense of humor to match his own. Deciding to obtain a doctorate in psychology, he enrolled at Columbia University, completing the program in 1949. He then took a position on the staff of the State Hospital in Montrose, New York. In 1955, he became a Diplomate in Counseling Psychology and went to work for the Jewish Vocational Service of Cincinnati. Coming to California in 1959, he earned licensure as a psychologist concurrently with his appointment here. Shortly after their respective retirementsBert was a high school art teachershe and Joe moved to Sebastopol and lived a semirural life in a two-story house surrounded by an apple orchard. But Joe's special interest in the rehabilitation of persons with mental illness induced him to continue to practice, and he was active for several more years counseling inmates at a nearby prison in Sonoma County. Finally, unable in their mid-eighties to keep up their big house in the apple orchard, Joe and Bert moved to a retirement community in Davis. He died there after the relatively recent onset of Alzheimer's disease. Joe is survived by his loving wife Bert, their sons David and Nelson, and daughter-in-law Diane. He will be remembered fondly by his many friends on and off campus for his indelible Canadianisms and the sly twinkle in his gray eyes. The Emeritimes, Fall 2005 ALVIN ELWOOD TUOHINO, Emeritus Professor of Accounting, 1956-1976, died peacefully at his home in Downey on June 6, 2005 at the age of 96. One of the founders of the Cal State L.A. Emeriti Association, which began its existence just two years after his achievement of emeritus status, Al was a life member and served as a member-at-large on the very first executive committee of this organization. Born on March 13, 1909 on a farm in Cleveland Township, South Dakota, he attended a rural elementary school in Hamlin County, Lake Norden High School, and Augustana College of Sioux Falls. In 1932, he began his career as a high school teacher in South Dakota, but at the same time, wishing to teach at the college level, he completed an M.S. degree in business and commerce at the University of Denver. Shortly before the U.S. entry into World War II, he was hired to teach at the University of Wyoming, but, like many of his generation, had his career interrupted by the war. Entering the Navy in 1942, he was assigned to the attack transport U.S.S. Pierce , on which he served as senior watch deck officer, intelligence officer, assistant beach master, ship service officer, and ship secretary. With the Pierce , he saw action at Guam, Saipan, Palau and Eniwetok Islands, the Philippines, New Guinea, New Zealand, and Okinawa. When the war ended, Al enrolled in refresher courses at UC Berkeley and accepted a position in the School of Business of the University of Kansas at Lawrence. There he met graduate student Jean Chenoweth. They were married on April 16, 1949 and then moved to Southern California where, for seven years, Al worked for accounting firms. When he earned CPA certification for California and Kansas, he decided to return to teaching. In 1956, Al joined the Los Angeles State College Department of Accounting as an assistant professor and taught various accounting and taxation courses. He retired 20 years later with the rank of professor. After his retirement from Cal State L.A, he maintained a small CPA practice in Downey, where he had lived for 24 years. He maintained this practice for a number of years until physical problems forced him to give it up. He was the last living of the 10 children of Jacob and Amelia Tuohino and is survived by his wife Jean; their children Barbara Funk, Lawrence Tuohino, Nancy Chapman, Kent Tuohino, and their spouses; and five grandchildren,. Another grandson preceded him in death. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews and their families. A memorial service was held at Christ Lutheran Church in Downey, followed by interment at Rose Hills Cemetery. The Emeritimes, Fall 2005 JAMES WIEBE, Professor of Education, 1983-2004, who retired at the end of 2004 and was named emeritus immediately thereafter, died on May 9, 2005 at the age of 60. He was suffering from cancer, and his illness was the determining factor in his retirement. The further complications of pneumonia hastened his death. James was a specialist in elementary mathematics and computer education. He joined the Cal State L.A. faculty as an associate professor in 1983, following prior university service in Arizona and Louisiana. For more than 15 years, he served as coordinator of instructional technology in the Charter College of Education, in addition to his teaching, creative work, and other service. His divisional affiliation evolved from Elementary Education to Curriculum and Instruction, and thereafter to Educational Foundations and Interdivisional Studies. He served on the Academic Senate, Faculty Policies Committee, Undergraduate Studies Subcommittee, and numerous other deliberative bodies at all levels. In the course of his career, he wrote nine books and monographs, primarily on applications of technology in education. He also was the author of many papers, lectures, workshops, and media productions on elementary-level teaching of mathematics and computer concepts. Much of this innovative work was supported by grants. He received an Outstanding Professor Award for the 1993-94 academic year. James earned a B.A. in mathematics from Fresno Pacific College in 1967. From 1968-70, he served as a math and science teacher and school principal in Zaire. After returning to the U.S., he earned an M.A. in French from CSU Fullerton in 1974, followed by a Ph.D.in mathematics education from Arizona State University. His first faculty position was as an assistant professor of mathematics at ASU from 1977 to 1979. He then moved to the University of Southern Louisiana, appointed as an associate professor of curriculum and instruction. He remained there until 1983, and during that time he updated his skills in computer science. In 1983, James brought that cumulative background to his new position at this campus, and earned tenure and promotion rapidly. His illness deprived him and us of at least a decade of further achievement. He is survived by his wife and two children. The Emeritimes, Fall 2005 WILLA DE ARMOND, wife of Louis DeArmond, emeritus professor of history, died on June 25, 2005 of congestive heart failure. She was 85 years of age. A graduate of UC Berkeley, Willa worked for the Daily Californian , University of California Press , and a legal publishing firm. The DeArmonds were married for 23 years, in a second marriage for both. Following Lou's retirement in 1979, they moved to Blue Jay, near Lake Arrowhead. In addition to her husband, Willa is survived by two children, two stepchildren, six grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. At her request, no service was held. The Emeritimes, Fall 2005 LOUISE LILLARD, widow of Richard Lillard, late professor emeritus of English, died of breast cancer on July 24, 2005. She was 86 and had been in remission for 21 years before its recurrence. A graduate of UCLA with B.A. and M.A. degrees in French, Louise taught French at Beverly Hills High School for 30 years. After she retired from that career, she began a new one, attending the UCLA School of Law along with her daughter and a niece. She earned her law degree in 1985, after her first bout with cancer and its treatments, and passed the bar examination on her first attempt. She then worked in a succession of law firms, at one of which her niece was her colleague and she was the entire office's Aunt Louise. At her request, there was no funeral service. She had recommended that family and friends have a party instead. In addition to her daughter and the niece in law practice, Louise is survived by a stepdaughter, a sister, a brother, two grandsons, and a second niece. A more detailed obituary appeared in the Los Angeles Times on July 26. The Emeritimes, Fall 2005 ROGER ALTENBERG, Professor of Theatre Arts, 1954-1986, died on October 12, 2005 of cardiovascular disease. He was 82 years old, and had lived in Kihei, on the island of Maui, since 1994, when he was first diagnosed with that ailment. He lived with his son, Lee, and benefited from the warm climate. Roger was noted for his innovative work in drama therapy, for which he developed several courses, both undergraduate and graduate, during the 1970s. Although that program did not become a formal degree option, a number of students who chose it went on to professional careers in that field. In 1979, he was a co-founder of the National Association for Drama Therapy (NADT), and he served on its board for a number of years. NADT certifies drama therapists and trainers of prospective therapists, and Roger was instrumental in developing its professional standards. Alumni who had taken his courses, particularly those who later earned professional certification, wrote appreciative letters on hearing of his death. Roger was born on December 8, 1922 in Brooklyn, New York. He was educated at the Horace Mann School, a well known private school devoted to progressive education as developed by Horace Mann. He began his undergraduate education at Brown University in 1939, and then moved to California in 1941. At the onset of World War II, he enrolled at the Curtis Wright Technical Institute and graduated as a master aviation mechanic in 1942. He resumed his college studies at USC and received a B.A.in 1944. He then entered the USC School of Medicine, but after two years he decided that the practice of medicine was not his primary interest. Moving east again, he earned an M.A. at Western Reserve University in Ohio in 1948 and returned to California. Appointed to the faculty of Los Angeles State College in 1954, Roger produced major plays on campus, including the musical, Tom Jones , based on the English novel, and works of Black Theatre such as The Dutchman and Purlie Victorious , at a time when such plays were controversial and important components of emerging black consciousness. In breaking new ground, he felt that this was his contribution to the civil rights movement. He resumed his graduate study and received a Ph.D. from USC in 1964 with a study of Gilmor Brown's Fairoaks Playbox, forerunner of the Pasadena Playhouse. His interest in theater converged with his desire to help people heal when he discovered psychodrama, studying with its founder, Jacob Moreno, beginning in 1967. He followed his clinical training with a second M.A. from Sonoma State University, in humanistic psychology, in 1974. Roger retired from Cal State L.A. in 1986, but did not seek emeritus status. After several moves within California, he joined his son and they moved to Hawaii. He worked toward his recovery and became active there, serving on the board of the Maui Community Theater and taking courses at Maui Community College. He performed the role of Ahab in a reading of Moby Dick at the 2003 Melville Conference, his last public performance. He also studied harp and watercolor painting, and read widely, including French literature. He traveled to France with his son in 2003 and 2004. Roger is survived by his brother, Henry Altenberg; his former wife, Elizabeth Lee; his two sons, Lee and Wayne; and Wayne's two sons, the grandsons that were Roger's great delight. A memorial service was held on November 12, for which Pamela Dunne, professor of theatre arts, provided the eulogy. The Emeritimes, Winter 2006 JOHN A. DAHL, Emeritus Professor of Education, 1955-1983, John A. Dahl, died on May 30, 2005 having been hospitalized for several intervals in the preceding two months. He was 83. John joined the education faculty of Los Angeles State College in 1955. He served as head of the Department of Secondary Education in the early sixties and held the position of dean of the School of Education briefly during the late sixties. In the early seventies, he served as assistant to the vice president of academic affairs. In furtherance of his disciplinary interests, John moved to what then was the Department of Counseling and Guidance as the school grew and diversified. Other interests were reflected in his career, notably his service on the Athletics Board. He retired in 1983, but continued teaching on FERP for several years thereafter .John earned a B.A. at San Jose State College in 1944, followed by an M.A. in 1950 and an Ed.D. in 1952 from Stanford University. After many years in the southern environs of California, John and his wife Pam moved to Santa Barbara for their final home. In addition to Pam, John is survived by two sons from an earlier marriage. The Emeritimes, Winter 2006 AUDREY GRAFF HAWK, Emerita Librarian, 1960-1981, who for 21 years headed the Science and Technology division of the Library, died on September 19, 2005 at her home in Seattle. She was a few weeks short of her 90 th birthday. Audrey joined the faculty in 1960, at a time of rapid expansion of the Library's holdings in the sciences, mathematics, and major areas of engineering and technology. In addition to her technical preparation in library science, she had prior experience as an engineering aide at the Boeing Aircraft Company, gained during her earlier residence in Seattle. Her tenure as a librarian was marked by diligent service to all patrons, students, faculty, staff, and administrators. Montana was Audrey's original home, where she was born in the town of Fallon on December 6, 1915. She attended Montana State University, from which she received a B.A. in 1937, followed by a B.S.L.S. in 1941 from the University of Montana. She taught high school English for a brief period before her move to Seattle and employment at Boeing. She pursued advanced studies in library science at the University of Washington, which she completed after her relocation to the Los Angeles area, and she received an MLS degree in 1967. Her professional memberships included the California Library Association, the Medical Library Association, in which she was particularly active, and the Special Library Association. Audrey was married to a career military serviceman, who predeceased her by many years. They had two sons, Bill and John. Following her retirement from the University in 1981, she returned to Seattle and began an entirely new life. She acquired a real estate license, and moved back to a large home in which she operated a bed-and-breakfast inn for about 15 years. During this time, she returned to the University of Washington, auditing classes that interested her. Occasionally, she was able to enjoy reunions with former colleagues traveling to Seattle. She also frequented a senior center in her neighbor -hood. Toward the end of her life, Audrey was cared for with hospice services and died in their care at her home. Her sons survive her. The Emeritimes, Winter 2006 MARIS UBANS, Professor of Theatre Arts, 1959-1994, died October 28, 2005 at age 76 from heart and kidney failure. He had been hospitalized on dialysis in Encino for his final three weeks following a year in a convalescent home. Born in Riga, Latvia, he came to the United States to continue his studies in music and drama. After a B.A. degree from Syracuse University in 1954 and M.A. from Northwestern University in 1955, he taught at Northwestern University, Occidental College, North Carolina Central University and Pomona College before coming to Cal State L.A. in 1959. He helped establish a Summer Shakespearean Festival at Occidental. He also founded The Lost Colony Theatre Company in North Carolina and continued this relationship well after retirement. He loved North Carolina and has arranged to have his ashes scattered there. He frequently luxuriated in Australian summers by spending winter quarters directing at the Australian Academy of Dramatic Arts. He relished the nickname Wombat given him by Australian students, perhaps never looking at the picture of his namesake in the dictionary. He was technical director and department chair at Cal State L.A., but is most lovingly remembered as director of highly professional musicals and operas. Some of his triumphs were Figaro, Orpheus in Hell, Kiss Me Kate, Cabaret, and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum . Most memorable, though, were Candide , which won in regional competition, and Company , which won the American College Theatre Award in 1974 and was presented at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Maris was in the dance corps for Candide . In addition to the distinction he brought through his productions, he played a key role in expanding a drama department to one of Theatre Arts and Dance. He also worked in film, directing a biographical documentary about his father, a prominent Latvian artist. During his last week, he was visited by close friends who had been unaware of the seriousness of his illness. He rallied then and raised hopes of those around him, but he declined so rapidly on October 28 that there was little time to alert his friends and colleagues. Because he was one of those distinguished retirees who never submitted a final curriculum vitae, he was not granted emeritus status. His frustrated chair, Susan Mason, says that he was just not one of those people you can push to complete paperwork. The Emeriti Association had granted him associate member emeritus status only days before his death. His last visitor as he was dying, Sara Hart Tobin of the Physics Department staff, tells that he showed his pleasure regarding this selection by squeezing her finger to show that he understood. During his waning hours, she sang some of the show tunes that he loved and so lovingly directed. He is survived by two brothers, Andris and Juris Ubans. A memorial was held at the Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church in Los Angeles on December 3. The Emeritimes, Winter 2006 WILLIAM F. LONG, Director of Admissions and Records, 1967-1986, and Professor Emeritus, died on January 1, 2006 of heart failure at the age of 84. He had had a quintuple bypass some years ago, but his health was much worsened after a fall that shattered a shoulder. Bill served at Cal State L.A. as director of admissions and records beginning in 1967. During that time, the University underwent extensive changes in procedures as computers were introduced and rapidly modified. He briefly served as associate director of institutional research before retiring in 1986. Before that appointment, he had served as the admissions director at the Air Force Academy, near Colorado Springs, from its founding in 1958 to his military retirement as a lieutenant colonel in 1962. Bill was born on March 31, 1921 in South Bend, Indiana, where he spent his childhood. He was active in the Boy Scouts and attained Eagle rank. He attended Purdue University, where he was enrolled in the ROTC. In 1942, he received both his B.S. degree and his Army commission in the Air Corps. He was stationed at Buckley Field, near Denver, assigned to an examining unit for the selection of personnel for air crews. After World War II, he returned to Purdue and received his M.S. and Ph.D. in psychology in 1947 and 1951, respectively. But he was in the Reserve, and he was called back to active duty at the onset of the Korean War to serve in the newly separated Air Force. With his experience in military personnel as well as his academic training in psychology, Bill was a natural for the supervision of cadet admissions at the service academy then newly established outside Colorado Springs for the Air Force. After his civilian retirement, he took great pleasure in the advisement he was able to pro-vide for the education of his six grandsons. Also surviving are his wife, Lonnie, a son, and two daughters. His ashes will be interred in Riverside National Cemetery. The Emeritimes, Spring 2006 EDYTHE RODRIGUEZ, Emerita Associate Professor of Education, 1952-1983, died on December 7, 2005 a month short of her 94 th birthday. She had suffered for several years from Parkinson's disease. Edythe was a member of the faculty in elementary education from 1952 to her retirement in 1983. Born in Wrenshall, Minnesota, on January 6, 1912, she grew up in that state, earning a B.S. degree in education from the University of Minnesota in 1942. On a whim, she joined a friend headed for sunny California shortly after her graduation. She then settled near Beverly Hills, and went to UCLA for graduate study. There she earned an M.A. in 1946 and an Ed.D. in 1949, and during that time taught in elementary school. She also had a hobby, ballroom dancing, at which she was very good, and she taught dancing. She met Francisco Rodríguez, a merchant marine seaman returning from Korea, and they danced and dated for seven years, until 1962, when they were married. After leaving the Merchant Marine, Francisco studied for a teaching credential and began a teaching career. During their sabbatical leaves, they traveled through Europe, studying the elementary education systems in each country they visited. In 1965, Edythe's monograph, Primary Education in Ten European Countries , was published. Edythe and Francisco spent 15 years as docents at the Living Desert Preserve, near Palm Desert, and lived nearby in Cathedral City. Edythe is survived only by Francisco; they had no children. The Emeritimes, Spring 2006 PATTI S. WIGGINS, Emerita Professor of Music, 1956-1990, died in her sleep on January 29, 2006 at the Glendale home she shared with her cousin. She was 80; the cause of her death has not been disclosed. A gifted pianist since childhood, Patti was internationally known as a teacher, a methodology expert, and a judge at performance competitions. In addition to her piano training and her academic studies, she became expert at the music pedagogical systems of Carl Orff, Emil-Jacques Dalcroze, and Zoltan Kodaly, and taught their methods in some of her courses at Cal State L.A. Patti was born on August 25, 1925 in the lake country of the northern plains, and spent her childhood in Philadelphia where her parents had relocated. She earned a B.A. in 1947 at West Chester State Teachers College in Pennsylvania, from which she later received a Distinguished Alumna Award. During her undergraduate years, she added the clarinet to her skills for orchestral performance. She began teaching music professionally at a girls' school in Washington, D.C., but after her marriage she went west with her husband to Southern California. Once resettled, she attended Occidental College for graduate work and received an M.A. in 1950. Between 1950 and 1956, Patti was the music supervisor for the Whittier Unified School District. She then joined the music faculty of the Los Angeles State College of Applied Arts and Sciences. But her own professional training continued, at Memphis State University for the Orff method and at the Manhattan School of Music for the Dalcroze method. In turn, she developed courses on these special teaching systems for the music curriculum at Cal State L.A. Patti traveled widely, and taught both teachers and students at institutions in Great Britain, the Netherlands, France, Italy, and Israel. She frequently gave lectures and demonstrations at conferences devoted to the special methods in which she was an expert. She wrote two books, and at the time of her death she was working on a third with a co-author, who is expected to complete it. In addition to the books, Patti developed an award-winning television series, Art, Music, and Dance, shown on PBS, and made several educational films that also garnered an achievement award. But music in its many guises was not Patti's exclusive activity. After retirement, she turned to her love of horses and became an expert rider, trained in dressage. Patti is survived by two sons, two daughters, and five grandsons, as well as the cousin with whom she lived for many years. The University has a music scholarship set up in her name. The Emeritimes, Spring 2006 S. BARRY MCGEE, SR., Professor of Theatre Arts, 1972-1980 died December 20, 2005 just four days after his 91stbirthday. He was buried January 5, next to his wife Charlotte, at the San Fernando Mission Cemetery. After an active professional and academic career in technical theater, he retired as director of technical theatre at Los Angeles City College in 1972. He was promptly offered a similar position as professor of theatre arts in 1972 at California State University, Los Angeles, from which he subsequently retired in 1980too brief a period to be considered for emeritus status. Ironically, he had also been director of technical theatre for Los Angeles State College when it was housed at the Vermont campus of LACC. He taught drama classes as well as directed design for countless successful productions. Barry's theatrical career began in high school in Michigan, where he was born and raised. He was technical director at several eastern stock companies before receiving a technical scholarship at Pasadena Playhouse in 1939. Two years later, he was working in Massachusetts when drafted into the army. While training as an ambulance driver in England, he participated in one of the first successful army shows, We're Telling You . Later he served in France and Germany as a sergeant in the medical support group that followed General George Patton. During the latter part of the war, he was an ambulance driver at a German POW camp in Chartres, France. After the war, he received a second scholarship from Pasadena Playhouse and was appointed technical director. In 1947, he became technical director/designer for the first three seasons of the professional summer theater, Holiday Stage, in Tustin, which was produced by the chairman of the theater department at Los Angeles City College. Several of his colleagues were associated with that same department, and Barry soon followed them there. As director of technical theatre, he helped to develop a twoyear technical theater program that trained many returning GIs. At LACC, he designed Way of the World , which won the first American College Theatre Festival and thereafter was performed at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. During his active career backstage in Southern California, he designed lighting for operas at the Hollywood Bowl, the old Biltmore Theatre and the old Philharmonic Auditorium, and for plays at the Ivar and Las Palmas theatres. Among the luminaries enlightened by Barry McGee were Joan Sutherland and Marilyn Horne. He designed sets and lighting for the Laguna Opera Festival and was technical director for its summer stock company. He also provided technical and equipment support for the Ebony Showcase Theatre. The past year has been tragic for the senior Theatre Arts faculty, as Barry McGee joins Walter Beaver, Maris Ubans, and Roger Altenberg in death. The Emeritimes, Spring 2006 MILLIE BURNETT, Emeritus Professor of Music, 1978-1998, died on May 3, 2006 of undisclosed causes. She was 73 and had been in declining health for over a year. An expert in many aspects of music education, Millie first taught children in grades K-6 and later joined the Cal State L.A. faculty, where she concentrated on preparing prospective elementary school teachers. She taught baccalaureate courses in elementary-level music methods and graduate courses serving the master's degree option in music education. Millie was born on August 21, 1932 in Fort Worth, Texas, where she spent her childhood. She went to Baylor University in Waco, and in 1954, she received the Bachelor of Music degree with specializations in music education, applied piano, and voice. She served as a music specialist in the public schools of Austin, where, in addition to teaching music, she taught in the special education program as well. In 1963, she moved to White Plains, New York, and served in that city's public schools as a music specialist for grades K-6. Also in 1963, Millie attended a workshop on the Orff Schulwerk system of children's music education, and it became her professional commitment. She incorporated the Orff concepts into her teaching, and continued her own studies in other institutions, including the Orff Institute and USC. She also expanded her interests with the study of folklore and music therapy. In 1967, Millie and her family moved west to Woodland Hills. Once resettled, she attended Cal State Northridge, and in 1972, she received an M.A. in early childhood studies and educational psychology. During the 1970s, Millie was employed by the Los Angeles School District in its early childhood education program. She was actively involved in a research project on arts in education, in which the objective was the development of a program incorporating musical, theatrical, and visual arts for young children as well as a curriculum for teacher education for that program. Millie continued to maintain and expand her interests in Orff Schulwerk, and helped found the Los Angeles chapter of the American Orff Schulwerk Association (AOSA), in which she remained an active participant. She served on the National Board of AOSA, and was elected vice president in 1981-82 and president in 1982-83. She organized and led conferences, and held numerous other executive positions in the association. She was named an honorary life member of AOSA for her dedicated service. In 1976, she had begun part-time teaching at Cal State L.A., and was appointed full-time in 1978. She also resumed her graduate study, and in 1983, she received an Ed.D. degree in music education from U.S. International University in San Diego. At this campus, Millie was instrumental in developing a program on the Orff system, offered particularly during summer quarters, with wide participation by area teachers. She also designed advanced courses for the teaching methods option of the master's degree program. Millie retired in 1998. Her publications include Dance Down the Rain, Sing up the corn: American Indian Chants and Games; Melody, Movement, and Language: a Teacher's Guide of Music in Game Form for the Preschool and Primary Grades; and Today's Creative Children , a university-level text for courses in music methods. Although her marriage ended in divorce, Millie and her former husband remained on friendly terms. She is survived by two sons, a daughter, and three grandchildren. The Emeritimes, Fall 2006 LOUIS C. DE ARMOND, Emeritus Professor of History, 1950-1979, died in San Mateo the day after his 88 th birthday (2006). He appeared in great health until a fall caused a brain hemorrhage. Even after the fall, he seemed right on top of things and called 911 for medical assistance, but complications of an operation followed by pneumonia led to his death. Lou had lived in Lake Arrowhead for many years when his second wife Jean died in June 2005. He remained there until mid-April, when he decided it would be best to leave that isolated area to live near his daughter Janet in San Mateo. His long-time friends and colleagues, Don and Marjorie Bray, had visited him May 21 and couldn't believe it when told of his passing. While they were there, he was sharp as a tack, still had his wonderful sense of humor, and was busily planning travel to Japan, where he would be roommate to his grandson who is studying there. Lou had been a translator in Japan following World War II, including Hiroshima. Lou became the first Latin American history professor in 1950, and created and taught all of the Latin American history courses until he was joined by Tim Harding in 1963. He established the Latin American Studies program and was coordinator of the Latin American Center from its founding in 1964 until his retirement in 1979. He amassed a large collection of artifacts, many of which are displayed in the glass display cases that he acquired and placed outside the Center in King Hall. He continued to teach some courses until 1987. One of his former students is Rudy Acuña, in many ways the founder of the Chicano Studies movement. Lou was also director of the MultiCampus Latin American Media Project. He played a key role in the establishment of Cal State L.A. as a center for Peace Corps training in the 1960s. He was an active participant in Mexican field programs attended by California students. He was an active contributor to improved Mexican-American relations. During his retirement, he shared his broad knowledge as a speaker on countless ocean cruises. Lou published in The Hispanic American Historical Review , The Pacific Historical Review, The Christian Science Monitor, Los Angeles Times, and Los Angeles Daily News . He spoke often to civic groups and radio stations. He was also a Ford Foundation Faculty fellow in South America. Lou was raised in Orland, California, and received the B.A. (1940), M.A. (1947), and Ph.D. in Latin American history and anthropology, all at UC Berkeley. He was employed at the U.S. embassy in Santiago, Chile before enlisting in the U.S. Army in World War II. Lou's first wife, Laurel, died in 1980. He later married her best friend, Willa Jean, a widow, who died in 2005. He is survived by a brother, a son, a daughter, three stepchildren, seven grandchildren, and one greatgrandson. The Emeritimes, Fall 2006 EUGENE R. FINGERHUTT, Emeritus Professor of History, 1962-1997, died on May 1, 2006 in Pasadena at the age of 73. Gene was born in Brooklyn, New York on June 26, 1932. An honor student and member of Phi Alpha Theta, he received an A.B. from Queens College in 1954, followed by an A.M. in 1957 and a Ph.D. in 1962 from Columbia University. He joined the History Department at Cal State LA in 1962 and retired as professor emeritus in 1997. Gene's first and continuing academic interest was devoted to early American history. In addition to several articles, he was the author of Survivor: Cadwallader Colden II (1983), dealing with a Revolutionary period New Yorker. After retirement, he co-edited The Other New York: The American Revolution Beyond New York City, 1763-1787 (2005), and with his co-editor, Joe Tiedemann, prepared The Other Loyalists , to be published in 2006. His research and writing on the subject of pre-Columbian transoceanic cultural diffusion resulted in Who First Discovered America (1984), Explorers of Pre-Columbian America? The Diffusionist-Inventionist Controversy (1994), and a student edition, entitled Experts Argue (about Who First Discovered America): The Diffusionist-Inventionist Controversy (2002). Frustrated with his students' inability to use the library, and determined that they should, Gene prepared instructions on how to locate historical sources. His effort resulted in The Fingerhut Guide: Sources in American History (1973). As coordinator of the Liberal Studies program (1985 to1993), he continued emphasizing the importance of using library materials. It is a tribute to his determination that he mastered the new electronic catalog system and published a Probe of Library References (3 rd ed., 1995). At the University, Gene became involved with several programs. He helped develop the initial Peace Corps training program (1963 to 1968) at Cal State L.A. A founding member of the United Professors of California, he was president of the Cal State L.A. chapter, 1969 to 1971. Gene's interest in early Canadian history led him to introduce a Canadian Studies program at the University. He was an adviser to the department's history honor students in Phi Alpha Theta (1965 to1993), and was instrumental in establishing annual regional Phi Alpha Theta conferences, beginning at Cal State L.A. Later, Gene persuaded the Pacific Coast Branch of the American Historical Association to devote a session to Phi Alpha Theta students' prize papers. Upon his retirement, he established a Phi Alpha Theta scholarship for mature students. The Emeritimes, Fall 2006 JACK C. HEPPE, Emeritus Director of Campus Development, 1949-1977, has died (2006), but no information regarding the circumstances of his death was communicated to the Emeriti Association, of which he was a life member. On his retirement in 1977, he was granted emeritus status. His last-known residence was in Camarillo. Jack was appointed to an administrative position at Los Angeles State College in 1949, following his B.S. degree from USC in 1948. Over the years, he advanced through several ranks in financial management, including business manager in 1959 and director of financial affairs in 1963, reporting to Vice President John Salmond. He was named director of campus development in 1968, in a time when the term development referred to structural changes, not fundraising. Thus he was a major figure in the development of the present campus, including the preponderance of the buildings and grounds that the University encompasses today. Jack was hired during President Howard McDonald's term in office, and remained his good friend throughout their retirement years. On several occasions, Jack accompanied President McDonald for campus trips, particularly during the annual Emeriti Association visits to the Academic Senate and the receptions following those meetings. McDonald then was in his 90s, and he greeted older emeriti, whom he had known during their active service years, with evident recognition. The Emeritimes, Fall 2006 JOHN LAMONICA, Emeritus Professor of Industrial Studies, 1956-1980, died of a stroke on February 17, 2006 in Yucca Valley, where he and his wife Ruth had lived for the last seven years, after moving to Coto de Caza on his retirement in 1980. He had been ill for the last year and a half. Born in Cleveland on January 1, 1921, John moved with his family to Southern California during the Depression. After earning an A.A. degree at Santa Ana Junior College in 1940, he worked as a tool designer for Lockheed Aircraft until the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and then joined the Army Air Corps and served in the Pacific theater as a camera repairman, earning five battle stars. Honorably discharged in 1946 with the rank of staff sergeant, he enrolled at USC and completed a Bachelor of Arts degree, after which he worked briefly as a tool designer for a camera repair company and then, also briefly, returned to Lockheed in the same capacity. While working at Lockheed, he enrolled at Los Angeles State College and was awarded a general secondary teaching credential in 1954. John began his teaching career the following year with classes in drafting and woodshop at University High School in Los Angeles, but he also enrolled in L.A. State's M.A. program in the Department of Industrial Arts. As a master's degree candidate, he was a charter member of the campus Industrial Arts Association and its first president. Recognizing his promise in this field, the department hired him as an assistant professor before he completed the M.A., which he did in 1957. He was a popular professor, specializing in electronics, drafting, industrial crafts, and woodworking. John and his wife Ruth, who, with their son James John, became longtime residents of Monterey Park, were active members of the local and University communities. Ruth was active in the Faculty Wives Association and served as its president in 1963. John served the City of Monterey Park for several years as a planning commissioner. Besides his family, his professional work, and his community service, John had various other interests and hobbies. He was a talented tenor soloist, performing in his church and in Los Angeles Civic Opera productions. He was also an active photographer, a restorer of automobiles, and, accompanied by Ruth, an inveterate world traveler. His survivors include Ruth, to whom he was married for 54 years, son James John, and daughter-in-law Deborah. The Emeritimes, Fall 2006 ROBERT TURNER LEWIS, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, 1952-1982, died at age 82 on April 4, 2006 from multiple myeloma, less than two weeks after he and his wife Jane celebrated their 60 th wedding anniversary. He is survived by his wife, three children, and eight grandchildren. He was born in Taft, California on June 17, 1923, but moved to the Los Angeles area when he was a baby. He received both his B.A. and M.A. degrees from USC. He began teaching at Los Angeles State College in 1952, shortly after receiving his Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Denver. He was hired on a one-year contract as a replacement for a professor on leave, when the campus was still housed at the Vermont campus of Los Angeles City College. He remained at Cal State L.A. until his retirement in 1982. Bob's graduate seminars emphasized testing and therapy. A dedicated mentor, he trained his students to be good therapists and experts at administering and interpreting psychological tests. He was known for his interpretations of the Rorschach test and was a groundbreaker in the field of neuropsychological assessment, a popular area of specialty today. His significant publications include The Psychology of Abnormal Behavior , co-authored with Louis Thorpe and Barney Katz; Human Behavior: an Introduction to Psychology , co-authored with Hugh M. Petersen; Money Madness , co-authored with his Cal State L.A. emeritus colleague Herb Goldberg; and Taking Chances: The Psychology of Losing and How to Profit from It . Money Madness has been reprinted in German, Spanish, and Japanese editions, and in paperback in the United States. Bob served in the U.S. Navy from 1943 to 1946. He was an ensign in the campaign for liberation on the Philippine Islands while stationed on Ulithi Island. He then received the rank of reserve lieutenant junior grade. He is buried at Riverside National Cemetery. The Emeritimes, Fall 2006 HUBERT C. WINKLER, Emeritus Professor of Physics, 1968-1979, died on July 28, 2006 from complications following unsuccessful surgery for prostate cancer. He was living in Bonn, Germany, where he moved after his retirement from the faculty in 1979. Hubert came to Cal State L.A. from a research position at Caltech in Fall 1968. Highly skilled in experimental design, instrumentation, and procedures, he found the prospective Physical Science Building an attractive opportunity. His particular interest was the Van de Graaff accelerator being planned for the building's subbasement. He contributed much to the design and installation of the experiment stations set up around the machine, and he was expert in all its features. The Van de Graaff lab was not Hubert's only contribution to the physics program. He designed sophisticated experiments for the instructional labs serving undergraduate courses from the sophomore year onward, so that Cal State L.A. physics graduates were excellently prepared for doctoral study or for employment in venues such as NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab. One of Hubert's M.S. thesis students in the early '70s was Samuel Durrance, who went on to earn a doctorate and later became known on campus as the Cal State L.A. astronaut for his two shuttle flights as a payload specialist. Hubert was born on December 1, 1922 in what then was Breslau, Germany, now Wroczlaw, Poland. He had to serve in the German army, and was fighting in Italy when the European phase of World War II ended in 1945. Eventually, he resumed his education and went to Switzerland for advanced study. He received a Ph.D. in 1964 from the University of Zurich, and held a research appointment there before coming to the United States for research at Caltech. At Cal State L.A., Hubert continued his research in fundamental nuclear physics. One of his most significant projects was a series of measurements relating to the energy conversion processes in the interior of stars, including the sun, specifically the one in which three helium nuclei fuse into a carbon nucleus. In the mid-'90s, when the 25-year-old Van de Graaff needed a complete overhaul, Hubert made the trip from Bonn to direct the diagnostic as well as the remedial work that it needed. It was a most gemütlich reunion with former colleagues and a welcome introduction for more recently appointed faculty members. Hubert was married twice, but had no children. His second wife, Ruth, came to the United States with him after their marriage, and she became acquainted with the department faculty and spouses. She survives him. The Emeritimes, Fall 2006 EVELYN MALKIN BARCLAY, Emerita Professor of Nursing, 1957-1969, the founding director of the Cal State L.A. program in nursing, died on April 20, 2006 in Newburgh, New York, where she had moved when she retired from the faculty in 1969. She was 94, and had suffered a hip fracture earlier this year. Evelyn came to this campus in 1957 from UCLA, where she served as associate dean of nursing. She built a faculty noted for its skill in teaching as well as clinical practice. The initial program was designed to advance junior-year students holding an R.N. at the associate degree level to the BSN. Beginning in 1959, when the present campus was opened and the curriculum expanded to four years, the department under Evelyn's leadership developed a four-year generic program leading freshman students directly to the BSN and eligibility for the R.N. She earned an Outstanding Professor Award in 1968. A graduate of hospital-based programs in nursing, Evelyn held R.N. licensure in New York State, the District of Columbia, and California, beginning in 1931. She went on to the Catholic University of America, where she earned a B.S. in Public Health Nursing in 1947 and an M.S. in Nursing Education in 1950. Then she went west. Early in her career at this campus, when the faculty was small and closely social, there was a faculty picnic at which Evelyn was introduced to a widower, Vladimir Malkin, father of Irina Malkin Cromwell. They were married a few months afterward. Vladimir died in 1968, and Evelyn chose to retire in 1969. She then returned to her home town, Newburgh, and married Peter Barclay. Their home was built on a large parcel of land, and Evelyn enjoyed a semirural life, including gardening and quilting. Peter unfortunately died the following year. Evelyn was able to continue her favorite activities, swimming, quilting, and bridge. She also enjoyed the theater. Her memory remained keen. The Emeritimes, Winter 2007 DONALD A. MOORE, Emeritus Professor of Economics and Statistics, 1956-1982, died at the age of 90 on December 6, 2006. He had suffered from worsening consequences of emphysema for the last few years. Don joined the Cal State L.A. faculty in 1956, following completion of his doctorate at Michigan State University. He was instrumental in the development of the department and its curriculum, particularly in quantitative methods. He was further distinguished for his leadership in the Cal State L.A. Academic Senate, the CSU Academic Senate, and the Association of California State University Professors (ACSUP). Following his retirement in 1982, he became active in the Cal State L.A. Emeriti Association and the CSU Emeritus and Retired Faculty Association (CSU-ERFA). A decorated veteran of World War II, during which he served as an artillery liaison pilot in the Pacific, Don continued his service in the Active Army Reserve during his graduate study years and early in his faculty career. He retired from the military in 1961 at the rank of major. He continued flying in general aviation until his crash in 2001 and the loss of his Comanche, after which he needed extensive surgery for his fractures. Don was born on August 20, 1916, in Vegreville, Alberta, in a family that traced its lineage to Scotch-Irish immigrants to North America in the 18 th century. His early childhood was spent in a rural community, on a homestead-sized farm. When he was six, his parents had to sell the farm and its implements, after which they moved to the U.S. Both parents, originally American, had become naturalized Canadian citizens, which presented no problem upon their return. But Don's citizenship status was omitted from his parents' reentry, and was not cleared up until after he was drafted for service in the American Army. Before the American entry into the war, Don earned a B.A. in 1941 from Linfield College in Oregon, for which he had a scholarship as well as part-time employment. However, before matriculating there, he spent two years after his high school graduation working at a pulp mill and saving money, because there was no possibility of parental support during the lingering depression of the thirties. At Linfield, he met Kathleen Ross, a staff member at the college, whom he married on May 23, 1942. Having been called up by the Selective Service System in 1941, Don was granted a one-year deferment that allowed him to accept a graduate scholarship at Tufts University's Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. He completed the requirements for an M.A. in May 1942, although the degree was not conferred formally until 1946. At that point, he reported for his induction. As soon as he completed basic training, he was hustled into Officer Candidate School. At the end of that program, when he was being reviewed for the commission, the question about his citizenship arose. His application for naturalization had followed him around the country as he had moved, from Washington to Oregon to Massachusetts, with the inevitable bureaucratic delays. It was finally resolved by the direct intercession of the chief of the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration, and he was commissioned as a second lieutenant. Flight training followed officers' training, and he earned his wings in 1943. As a liaison pilot, he flew light planes, and later continued flying light aircraft as a civilian. After the war, Don and Kathleen went to Providence, Rhode Island, where Don joined the faculty of Brown University as an instructor as well as a doctoral student. Because veterans' enrollments were high due to the G.I. Bill of Rights, he was kept busy teaching and was neglected for his own progress toward the degree. After four years he gave up, and in 1950 went to Michigan State. There, in addition to teaching, he was able to complete the degree requirements, and he received his Ph.D. in 1956. That fall, Don and Kathleen, with the first two of their three children, moved to Southern California and long-needed permanent roots. Once settled, Don began a commitment to community service that increased as his other activities waned, first upon his retirement from the military reserve, and again after his retirement from the faculty. He joined Angel Flight, an organization of private pilots who flew critically ill patients to medical centers. He also participated in the Young Eagles program, introducing postwar teenagers to aviation as a possible career. On the ground, Don and Kathleen worked with local shelters for the homeless and with programs of food distribution for those in need, serving cities in the Pomona Valley. They spent a decade in conservation-centered camping, in a program sponsored by the Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs, flying to various scenic locations in west-coast states. They were drawn to these interests by Roland Ross, late professor of biology at Cal State L.A., a dedicated preservationist. But the 2001 crash, when Don was 85 and Kathleen 83, became the terminator for such travel. Before that, their personal flights had taken them to areas of North and Central America, and their military-privilege flights had taken them to numerous places in Europe. Don wrote three memoirs, the first of which was a description of the action he experienced in the battles of the Pacific, Low and Slow (1999). His second book was Desomount: a Fifty-Year History of a Family Camping and Conservation Club (2001). His last, an autobiography, bears the title Illegal Eagle (2004), referring to his entangled citizenship but covering his entire life. It served as a major resource for this article. Kathleen also has Cal State L.A. ties, having served as the principal administrative assistant for the Department of English for many years. She is now confined to nursing care. In addition to Kathleen, Don is survived by their three children, five grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. Following a memorial service held in La Verne on December 14, he was interred with full military honors in Riverside National Cemetery. The Emeritimes, Winter 2007 GERALD R. RASMUSSEN, Emeritus Professor of Education, 1964-1989, died on July 20, 2006 of congestive heart failure, from which he had suffered for several years. He was 80, and also had a history of surgeries and treatments for other illnesses. Gerry came to the Cal State L.A. faculty in 1964, following an extensive career in public school administration in his native Michigan. He taught in what then was the Department of Educational Administration, and served two terms as its chair. He was very active in the National Council of Educational Administrators, which held its 1990 annual convention at this campus, with Gerry as organizer. His professional papers were published in the Michigan Journal of Secondary Education and the American School Board Journal . A major interest on Gerry's part was the Work Training Program for Youth Rehabilitation directed by former sheriff Peter Pitchess. His parallel interests and studies in sociology were reflected in his practice of taking his students to the site of that program every quarter. Gerry was born and educated in Michigan. His college studies at Michigan State University were interrupted by World War II, during which he served in the Navy. Following his B.S. in 1949, for which he majored in chemistry with minors in physics and math, he went into public school teaching for four years, and concurrently began graduate study in education. In 1953, he received an M.A. from Michigan State, having majored in school administration and minored in sociology. He spent most of the decade following in public school administration, moving from a superintendent's position in a small community to a principal's position in an urban area. He also became active in the American Field Service Program (AFSP). Concurrent graduate study at Michigan State culminated in an Ed.D. degree in 1962, for which his major was school administration, with additional studies in sociology and in social and philosophical foundations of education. He was then appointed as an assistant professor of education at St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York. But the west lured him as it did so many contemporaries, and he accepted a position as associate professor of education at Cal State L.A. in 1964. Gerry's principal teaching areas were in secondary school administration and school plant planning. He also served as a coordinator of the Peace Corps' technical training program in educational television for Colombia, reflecting the interest in international education that he had developed earlier through the AFSP. He retired from the faculty in 1989, but remained active professionally. He and his wife Jacqueline spent the 1994-95 academic year in Jamaica. The Rasmussens resided in West Covina during his active faculty service and relocated to San Clemente in 1992. In addition to Jacquie, Gerry is survived by a brother, two sons, a daughter, seven grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. He was interred in Owosso, Michigan. A memorial service was held in San Clemente on July 28. The Emeritimes, Winter 2007 MAURINE TIMMERMAN, Emerita Professor of Music, 1950-1974, died on November 14, 2006 from complications following a hip fracture. She had observed her 100 th birthday on May 30. Maurine joined the Cal State L.A. faculty in 1950. Her teaching specialty was elementary music, and she wrote several books in that field. She was an active member of both state and national organizations of music educators, and of Sigma Alpha Iota, the national honor society for music. In addition to teaching, she participated in the administration of the Music Department. Born in Colby, Kansas in 1906, Maureen became a K-12 teacher of music as early as 1927. Moving to Minnesota, she continued teaching and earned a B.A. from the University of Minnesota in 1934. She then went on to teach in Wisconsin. She earned an M.A. from the University of Idaho in 1941. Then, as the nation went to war, she joined the WAVES and served in Washington, D.C. until 1946, retiring as a lieutenant. In 1946-47, she was an assistant professor of music at the University of Oklahoma, after which she became the director of music education in the school system of Spokane. In 1950, she came to Cal State L.A., and along with her faculty service, she earned an Ed.D. from USC in 1960. But her penchant for moving around became a yen for travel. She made several trips to Europe and Asia, and enjoyed a sabbatical year in Japan. Maurine retired from the faculty in 1974. In the mid-1980s, she moved to Villa Gardens, a Pasadena retirement facility, where emeriti colleagues were her neighbors. She is survived by a sister-in-law and three generations of nieces and nephews. The Emeritimes, Winter 2007 ADELINE BILOVSKY, wife of David Bilovsky, died on September 24, 2006 in Prague, during a vacation trip. The Bilovskys were active travelers, undiminished by age. Adeline was 85. As a teacher in the Los Angeles public schools, Adeline was an advocate for the developmentally disabled. In their retirement, David and Adeline maintained an active intellectual life, borne out in their extensive travels. They were married for 65 years. Besides David, Adeline is survived by two sons, a daughter, five grandchildren, and two sisters. The Emeritimes, Winter 2007 HILARD KRAVITZ, husband of Ellen King Kravitz (Music), died at the end of October, 2006 after a long, debilitating illness. Ellen was his primary caregiver as his disability progressed. A highly respected cardiologist, Hilard was eulogized at a memorial service by former patients, who spoke of his caring warmth throughout their treatment. Ellen and Hilard founded Friends of Music, the Music Department's scholarship program, in 1976. During the early years of its growth, they hosted musicales in their home to advance the program's progress. Now one of the University's major student support activities, Friends of Music is in turn a tribute to the Kravitzes. Hilard is survived by three sons from his first marriage, two of whom are physicians, and by two daughters whom he and Ellen adopted. The Emeritimes, Winter 2007 LEONARD BUD ADAMS

Harry came to Ca State L.A. hav ng been a student of Ph p Se zn ck, who wrote many po t ca soc o ogy texts, nc ud ng the c ass c TVA and the Grass Roots: A Study of Po t cs and Organ zat on . Harry en oyed teach ng po t ca soc o ogy and was strong y nterested n organ zat ona behav or.

The book a so f t the behav or he observed among e te dec s on-makers n the 20th century n the area of nuc ear po cy n part cu ar, and more genera y on the Amer can po t ca scene. Harry saw the mpact of groupth nk n V etnam War dec s on-mak ng, as we as n the Watergate scanda and ts aftermath. Consequent y, he was attracted to d ss dent po t ca eaders and pres dent a cand dates such as Barry Commoner and Ra ph Nader. Harry was born on May 8, 1922 and grew up n Amherst, Massachusetts, where h s father was a oca m n ster. He rece ved h s A.B. n Soc a Sc ence and Ph osophy from Harvard Un vers ty n 1943, and h s M.A. and Ph.D. n Po t ca Sc ence from the Un vers ty of Ch cago n 1953 and 1961, re spect ve y. Dur ng the ear y years of the r marr age n the 1950s, Harry and Jean ved n the Ch cago area wh e Harry pursued graduate work and Jean worked at the Argonne Nat ona Laboratory. After rece v ng h s Ph.D., Harry taught at Temp e Un vers ty n Ph ade ph a, where one of h s students was A an Wo fe, the noted author of many books on Amer can po t cs and re g on. Harry encour aged A an to get a doctorate at the Un vers ty of Pennsy van a, wh ch he d d n 1967. At Ca State L.A n 1969, Harry h red A an Wo fe for the summer quarter. A an was by then co-cha r of the Caucus for a New Po t ca Sc ence, wh ch had been created at the 1968 nat ona meet ngs of the Amer can Po t ca Sc ence As soc at on (APSA) n Ch cago. The Caucus was cr t ca of the dom nant apo t ca cu ture that preva ed n the po t ca sc ence d sc p ne at that t me, and attracted d ss dents opposed to the V etnam War, behav or sm, sex sm, and rac sm, who o ned together to cha enge the APSA estab shment. A an s presence n Los Ange es ed a number of Ca State L.A. po t ca sc ence facu ty to become eaders n the Caucus for a New Po t ca Sc ence that year and n subsequent years. Harry s h r ng of A an was ha ed by most of the new members of the department as a progress ve step, but for others t represented a step n the wrong d rect on. Yet a cou d agree that t had a s gn f cant mpact on the department and the co ege for many years. As a scho ar, Harry authored Congress ona Att tudes Toward Sc ence and Sc ent sts: A Study of Leg s at ve React ons to Atom c Energy and the Po t ca Part c pat on of Sc ent sts (1979), as we as severa art c es and convent on papers n the area of Amer can po t cs.

He a so served on the Ad v sory Board for Internat ona Po cy of the CSU and the Execut ve Comm ttee of the Academ c Counc of CSU Internat ona Programs. After mov ng to Arcad a, Harry and Jean frequent y hosted meet ngs, d nner part es, and department gather ngs at the r home. They en oyed good food and w ne, wh ch undoubted y contr buted to frequent requests for them to host gather ngs. They were grac ous hosts, and both had a good sense of humor. Harry oved okes, nc ud ng se f-deprecat ng shots such as the convo uted nstruct ons for assemb ng a ree -to-ree tape recorder that he read at h s ret rement n eu of the recorder tse f. Harry and Jean en oyed eat ng out and were experts at f nd ng outstand ng eat ng exper ences n and near the San Gabr e Va ey, nc ud ng such favor tes as the Parkway Gr n Pasadena and La Serenata de Gar ba d n Boy e He ghts. Because Harry d d not ke to dr ve the freeways, years before GPS techno ogy was ava ab e he became an ace at f nd ng exped t ous surface routes to a host of ocat ons far and near to h s home. Wh e traff c backed up for m es on the freeways, Harry scooted home on the roads ess trave ed. Those who were ucky and had a chance to fo ow h m from campus to h s home earned a ternat ve routes that they never mag ned ex sted. Loya ty was one of Harry s strongest v rtues. He ma nta ned re at onsh ps such as those w th A an Wo fe and h s Un vers ty of Ch cago peers for years. Wh e other Ca State L.A. facu ty sought the pr vacy of separate off ces, Harry and Ed Ma eck rema ned the on y po t ca sc ence facu ty who shared an off ce after the department moved from the th rd f oor of K ng Ha to the f fth f oor of Eng neer ng and Techno ogy n the1970s. They rema ned off cemates unt Harry s ret rement n 1990. A though Harry was ust f ab y proud of h s ong serv ce w th the Un vers ty, h s ch dren, Caro yn and Br an, were h s pr de and oy.

Dur ng h s tenure on the comm ss on, the group deve oped the Ca forn a Master P an for Spec a Educat on, approved by the State Board of Educat on and adopted nto the State Educat on Code.

In h s ear y years, he p ayed trombone n the h gh schoo band, worked as a sheepshearer and coa m ner, and n 1944, at 17,conv nced h s parents to a ow h m to o n the Navy. He marr ed Jeann ne n 1948, an event he cons dered the most fortunate event of my fe.

We , I guess I w be the f rst, he sa d, not to be d scouraged. Lamar was remembered as a warm hearted and extraord nar y ta ented educator who nf uenced the ves of thousands of students, facu ty, and staff. One former student stated, I can say w th abso ute certa nty that he was a k nd and gracefu man, and h s teach ng sparked my ongo ng nterest n educat on aw. H s text, Educat ona Adm n strat on and Spec a Educat on: A Handbook for Schoo Adm n strators became the standard for the f e d of spec a educat on adm n strat on and aw. Another former student commented, Lamar was, for me, one of the nd v dua s that I he d as an examp e of ho d ng fam y, fa th, and profess on a n the r ght p aces. As a eader, he was a person who, accord ng to one co eague, created a c mate n wh ch a who had the pr v ege of serv ng under h s eadersh p a ways strove to do the r very best, not because he demanded t, but because he ved t. Another reca ed that Lamar comb ned two qua t es w th a natura , easy go ng and fr end y persona sty e: competence and human sm. He was a so descr bed as ow-key, carefu , and reasoned n what he sa d, and an outstand ng eader not on y n spec a educat on but across the Un vers ty. Jeann ne and Lamar had four ch dren, two boys and two g r s, and the fam y eventua y grew to nc ude 15 grandch dren and 18 great-grandch dren. One of h s grandch dren commented, He was so k nd and pat ent and oved each equa y, but somehow made each fee ke they were the most mportant n h s fe.

After Wor d War II, he graduated from Swarthmore Co ege (1948), and earned M.A. (1950) and Ph.D. (1951) degrees n Eng sh terature at Harvard Un vers ty. He taught br ef y at Harvard, Corne Un vers ty, the Un vers ty of Oregon, and the Un vers ty of Wash ngton before becom ng a techn ca ed tor at The Boe ng Company n Seatt e, the pos t on he he d when he accepted appo ntment at L.A.

Pau ret red at the re at ve y young age of 64 to devote v rtua y fu t me to research and wr t ng at The Hunt ngton L brary. He exper mented br ef y w th the Facu ty Ear y Ret rement Program, but qu ck y dec ded that trave to campus to teach even a m ted number of c asses mp nged too much on h s pub sh ng p ans. He was a ready a permanent f xture at The Hunt ngton, hav ng begun research there n 1957. For count ess young scho ars, he was a so the f rst person they wou d meet. Indeed, t was campus prox m ty to the L brary and espec a y ts possess on of the or g na manuscr pt of Ben am n Frank n s famous autob ography that made the new Los Ange es State Co ege of App ed Arts and Sc ences an appea ng academ c home for h m. Ben am n Frank n became a most a o nt sub ect of Pau s ob tuary n the January 4 Los Ange es T mes, one of the most extens ve ever rece ved by facu ty at Ca State L.A. A though he had atta ned ear est recogn t on as a Wordsworth and Co er dge scho ar, Pau s most notab e ach evement was The Autob ography of Ben am n Frank n: A Genet c Text (1981) , the f rst ent re y accurate pub cat on of the Frank n masterp ece. He and J. A. Leo Lemay were the f rst to d sp ay anguage sh fts, add t ons, and de et ons as Frank n nvented h mse f as the poor boy made good. Th s was fo owed, n 1986, by Ben am n Frank n s Autob ography: An Author tat ve Text and, ater, by Frank n s Autob ography: A Mode L fe. Of course, Frank n f gured a so n severa of Pau s humorous books, A Portra t of the Autob ographer as an O d Art f cer , Ben Frank n Laugh ng , and Ben am n Frank n s Humor . Andy Za says that the fam y s pa n s essened by the r know edge that Pau s now w th Ben Frank n, wherever that may be. We can p cture Pau chuck ng at h s son s great ne. The rema nder of h s 36 books (58 percent of them pub shed dur ng h s ret rement) fa s nto four categor es.

H s name on th s vo ume does not adequate y ref ect h s many contr but ons to a pro ect that was or g na y h s own. Th s ab y captures the sp r t of Pau s support of count ess young scho ars, many of them h s students. In 2007, he was honored n a spec a sympos um at the Hunt ngton L brary for ocat ng and authent cat ng w th n the L brary Co er dge s ong- ost trans at on of Goethe s Faust . The program was organ zed by Freder ck Burw ck, one of h s students at Ca State L.A., who pub shed the trans at on as an emer tus professor of Eng sh at UCLA.

Wh e these vo umes poured from the book factory n the basement of The Hunt ngton L brary that was best known as Za s Sta , Pau was a so generous n grant ng h s t me and shar ng h s nte ectua d scover es w th other scho ars.

Mar e-Anto nette was born n the A sat an c ty of Mu house, France on January 20, 1927, and ved as a schoo g r under the Naz occupat on from 1940 to 1945, ob gator y study ng German, after wh ch, w th the he p of scho arsh ps, she was ab e to go to Eng and to study Eng sh. She thus became prof c ent n German and Eng sh n add t on to her nat ve French. After teach ng anguages for four years n a French secondary schoo and earn ng her cence-es- ettres (master s degree) at the Un vers ty of Strasbourg (1952), she came to th s country, and stud ed and taught anguages and terature as a teach ng ass stant, part-t me ecturer, and nstructor at four m dwestern and eastern co eges and un vers t es before becom ng a teach ng fe ow at Harvard n 1958, where she eventua y earned a Ph.D. n Comparat ve L terature, spec a z ng n three teratures: French, German, and Amer can. Mar e-Anto nette came to what was then Los Ange es State Co ege n 1964 as an ass stant professor of French and, for a br ef t me, of German. Arr v ng at a t me when a bache or s degree n French had ust been ncorporated nto the Department of Fore gn Languages curr cu um and a master s degree program was be ng formu ated, she proposed severa undergraduate courses and sem nars n her spec a areas of nterest, nc ud ng French sty st cs, h stor ca ngu st cs, trans at on, and post-Symbo st poetry. She a so proposed a course n 17th-century French terature and, w th the Eng sh Department, he ped n t ate an nterdepartmenta ma or n comparat ve terature. She ater proposed and taught a genera educat on course n the Matur ty and Ag ng theme. W th a these program deve opment and nstruct ona act v t es, she found the t me to serve her department, schoo , and un vers ty on many comm ttees, as we as serve n the Academ c Senate and as a two-term department cha r. She part c pated n academ c act v t es off campus by read ng papers at profess ona meet ngs and pub sh ng n scho ar y ourna s. In spr ng 1988, she served as d rector and coord nator of the reg ona se ect on pane for the Rockefe er Foundat on teach ng fe owsh ps, and from fa 1988 to spr ng1989, she d rected the Un vers ty s French Study Abroad program n A x-en-Provence, France. After ret r ng n 1992, she became act ve on the Emer t Assoc at on Execut ve Comm ttee, serv ng a term as v ce pres dent for adm n strat on and many years as cha r of the Emer t Fe owsh p Fund Comm ttee. Mar e-Anto nette was a ways h gh y regarded by both facu ty and students, not on y n a her profess ona dut es, but as a sens t ve, se f ess, and modest human be ng. Long-t me co eague Leon Schwartz knew her for 46 years w th unf agg ng adm rat on and affect on. To quote one of her younger co eagues n the department s Span sh sect on, When I f rst met Mar e I was struck by her warm, unassum ng persona ty, and I was unaware that I was rubb ng shou ders w th a Harvard graduate.

The Emer t mes, Fa 2011 LLOYD NOEL FERGUSON, SR., Professor of Chem stry, 1965-1986 , a wor d-renowned chem stry professor, ce ebrated author, and p oneer n he p ng e m nate rac a barr ers for Afr can Amer cans n the f e d of chem stry, d ed on November 30, 2011 at the age of 93. L oyd was born on February 9, 1918 n Oak and, Ca forn a. H s parents were Noe and Gwendo yn Ferguson, a bus nessman and a ma d. In sp te of the hard t mes h s fam y exper enced dur ng the Great Depress on, L oyd, at the age of 12, was ab e to buy a chem stry set and carryout exper ments n a backyard shed that he bu t. By the t me he reached h gh schoo , he had a ready deve oped products that cou d be used for var ous househo d purposes, nc ud ng a moth repe ent, spot remover, and emonade powder. As a h gh schoo teenager, he wrote etters to the heads of a the ma or chem ca compan es ask ng them to keep h m appr sed of any new and exc t ng d scover es. He kept an accurate record of the responses that he rece ved. The budd ng ta ents of th s future chem st were qu ck y recogn zed by h s chem stry teacher at Oak and Techn ca H gh Schoo , who strong y encouraged h m to go to co ege. L oyd graduated from h gh schoo at the age of 16 and worked for a coup e of years as a porter on the ra road to earn money for co ege. He enro ed at UC Berke ey, and rece ved a B.S. degree n chem stry w th honors n 1940. Three years ater, he rece ved h s Ph.D. n chem stry, becom ng the f rst Afr can Amer can to rece ve a Ph.D. n chem stry from UC Berke ey. Wh e at Berke ey, he worked w th two Nobe Laureates: Me v n Ca v n and G enn T. Seaborg. Ca v n spoke at L oyd s ret rement ce ebrat on at Ca State L.A. n 1986. When L oyd graduated n 1943, n contrast w th h s c assmates exper ence, none of the ma or chem ca compan es wou d nterv ew Afr can Amer cans or cons der them for emp oyment. L oyd, therefore, accepted a pos t on as an ass stant professor at North Caro na Agr cu tura and Techn ca Co ege n Greensboro, North Caro na, a h stor ca y b ack co ege (HBCU), where he taught for two years before o n ng the facu ty at Howard Un vers ty, a so an HBCU, n Wash ngton, D.C. n 1945. At Howard, L oyd became a fu professor of chem stry n 1955 and then head of the chem stry department n 1958. He estab shed the f rst Ph.D. program n chem stry at another HBCU. Subsequent y, the chem stry department at Howard Un vers ty has graduated more Afr can Amer cans w th Ph.D.s than any other co ege or un vers ty n the Un ted States. He persona y served as the research adv ser for s x students, a of whom were Afr can Amer cans who earned Ph.D.s n chem stry. Howard Un vers ty honored h m w th an honorary doctorate n 1970. L oyd rece ved a Guggenhe m Fe owsh p n 1953 that enab ed h m to do research at the Car sberg Laboratory n Copenhagen and the Sw ss Federa Inst tute of Techno ogy n Zur ch. In 1961, he rece ved support from the Nat ona Sc ence Foundat on to conduct research once aga n at the same Sw ss nst tute. He was a v s t ng professor at the Un vers ty of Na rob n Kenya dur ng 1971-72. In 1984-85, the Un ted Negro Co ege Fund supported h s v s t ng professorsh p at Bennett Co ege, an HBCU for women n Greensboro, North Caro na. L oyd came to Ca State L.A. n 1965 as a professor n the Department of Chem stry and B ochem stry, and was cha r of the Department from 1968 to 1971. He ed the estab shment of Ca State L.A. s M nor ty B omed ca Research Support (MBRS) program, and served as ts d rector from ts ncept on n 1973 through 1984. Car os Gut errez, the current d rector of the M nor ty Opportun t es n Research (MORE) Programs, be eves that L oyd s greatest egacy s the generat ons of our students who benef ted through part c pat on n the M nor ty B omed ca Research Support program that he estab shed n 1973, and resu ted n hundreds of professor, research sc ent st, and hea th profess ona careers. MBRS has become part of the MORE Programs, wh ch cont nue to further h s work. L oyd was a rec p ent of Ca State L.A. s 1973-74 Outstand ng Professor Award and the CSU Trustees 1980-81 Outstand ng Professor Award. In 1995, the Department of Chem stry and B ochem stry estab shed the L oyd Ferguson D st ngu shed Lecture Ser es, wh ch each year br ngs a d st ngu shed chem st to campus to present a uncheon ecture that s we -attended by hundreds of facu ty and students.

L oyd se dom m ssed the uncht me p ckup br dge games w th other chem stry facu ty members, nc ud ng Haro d Go dwh te and Hank Keyzer, where he garnered the reputat on of be ng somewhat of a oca card shark. As a co eague, he prov ded a qu et, yet effect ve, eadersh p for the Chem stry Department and ts facu ty. As a teacher, he demanded exce ence from h s students. Former students from both Howard Un vers ty and Ca State L.A., many years ater, st have n ghtmares about h s tests and f na exam nat ons. In add t on to serv ng as cha r of the Amer can Chem ca Soc ety s D v s on of Chem ca Educat on, other numerous d st nct ons and nat ona awards that L oyd garnered nc ude the Chem ca Manufacturers Assoc at on Award n Chem ca Educat on, and the Amer can Chem ca Soc ety Award n Chem ca Educat on. He a so part c pated n the formu at on of the Support for the Educat ona y and Econom ca y D sadvantaged program (SEED) of the Amer can Chem ca Soc ety. Th s cont nues to be a very act ve program serv ng to broaden the part c pat on of underrepresented m nor ty students n undergraduate research n chem stry. L oyd s research sought to e uc date the re at onsh ps between mo ecu ar structure and b o og ca act v ty, w th a spec f c focus on the re at onsh p of mo ecu ar structure to the sense of taste for examp e, what spec f c structura features make a substance taste sweet. In th s regard, he a so d d some work n cancer chemotherapy and the mo ecu ar structure of b o og ca y-act ve compounds. Robert Ve anoweth, current cha r of the Department of Chem stry and B ochem stry at Ca State L.A., who s a so an a umnus of the department and was an undergraduate part c pant n the MBRS program, s one of many underrepresented students who went on to successfu careers. Ve anoweth states, Wh e L oyd was n the Chem stry Department here, he made many contr but ons to a cyc c chem stry, espec a y n regard to the structura bas s of sweetness. Th s concept of structure def n ng funct on has ong been a centra tenet of chem stry, and L oyd s own work pushed that concept d rect y nto b o ogy, where t s cont nua y demonstrated to th s day. L oyd s most mportant egacy, though, s h s strong support for a true teacher-scho ar mode , where one s research endeavors are most mean ngfu when they prov de opportun t es for students to d rect y engage n expand ng our know edge. L oyd was the author of more than 50 sc ent f c ourna pub cat ons and s x books, nc ud ng three w de y used organ c chem stry textbooks: E ectron Structures of Organ c Mo ecu es, Text-book of Organ c Chem stry , and The Modern Structura Theory of Organ c Chem stry . Among the stor es that have become a part of chem stry fo k ore s that wh e James Mered th was be ng barred from enter ng the Un vers ty of M ss ss pp , the armed state troops cou d not keep Ferguson s textbook out; t was be ng used by the chem stry department there. Two of h s textbooks have been trans ated nto H nd and Japanese. At the nat ona eve , n 1972, L oyd was one of the founders of the Nat ona Organ zat on for the Profess ona Advancement of B ack Chem sts and Chem ca Eng neers (NOBCChE). Each year, NOBCChE bestows the L oyd N. Ferguson Young Sc ent st Award to sc ent sts w th techn ca exce ence and documented contr but ons to the r f e d. Th s award was estab shed n recogn t on of the arge number of m nor ty students whom L oyd has mentored over the years. On February 18, 2011, the beaut fu courtyard area between La Kretz Ha and W ng B of the Wa s Annenberg Integrated Sc ences Comp ex at Ca State L.A. was ded cated as the Ferguson Courtyard. The stand ng-room-on y ded cat on ceremony nc uded remarks by Ca State L.A. Pres dent James M.

The Emer t mes, Fa 2012 NORMAN FRUMAN, Emer tus Professor of Eng sh, 1959-1980, author of one of the most d st ngu shed stud es of the ast century on the works and character of the renowned Eng sh poet and cr t c Samue Tay or Co er dge ( Co er dge, the Damaged Archange , 1971), as we as a t re ess champ on of the human t es through h s v ta contr but on to the Nat ona Assoc at on of Scho ars and the Assoc at on of L terary Scho ars and Cr t cs, d ed on Apr 19, 2012 at h s home n Laguna Beach. He was 88. To remember Norman s to honor and adm re h m. The sure courage he d sp ayed n Wor d War II as a combat p atoon off cer n the Batt e of the Bu ge was a so ev dent n h s fear ess ob ect ve scho arsh p, wh ch forced h m to confront the host ty of sen or scho ars n h s f e d. In m d-career, he stood up def ant y to the po t ca and deo og ca trends he fe t were comprom s ng the ntegr ty of human st c stud es. In h s f na months of fe, he def ed the cancer s ow y consum ng h s body w th res ency and hope. Norman was born the son of mm grant parents n the Bronx, New York, on December 2, 1923. H s father was a g fted photographer who d ed n Norman s nfancy, and h s mother ra sed Norman and h s s b ngs n stra ned c rcumstances. He attended Townsend Harr s Ha , a free, three-year h gh schoo for g fted boys, and after graduat ng w th d st nct on, he enro ed n the C ty Co ege of New York. In 1943, about to beg n h s sen or year, he was drafted nto the army as an nfantry pr vate. A year ater he attended Off cer Cand date Schoo , was comm ss oned as a second eutenant, and was sent to Europe as the youngest combat p atoon eader n the 42nd Infantry, the famed Ra nbow D v s on. Bare y 21 years o d, n ate 1944 Norman was ordered to defend the A sat an town of Offendorf, 30 m es north of Strasbourg. Caught n the ast great German counter offens ve n the West, Norman and h s p atoon were ordered to ho d the ne at a costs. Once the r ammun t on was gone, they were overwhe med and forced to surrender. Taken to a pr soner of war camp n Bavar a, Norman was f na y berated n Apr 1945, but not unt after a harrow ng fa ed escape attempt n wh ch many of the surv vors of h s un t and the r wou d-be rescuers d ed. Back at C ty Co ege by the end of 1945, Norman graduated the fo ow ng year and rece ved h s M.A. n educat on from Co umb a Teachers Co ege n 1948. In the rest essness of the post-war years, Norman took advantage of the G.I. B and stud ed at the Sorbonne n Par s. He anded a ob w th the Amer can Com cs Group and made good money wr t ng horror, sc ence f ct on, and romance stor es. A the wh e, he was read ng deep y and w de y and ay ng the groundwork for h s advanced terary stud es n the ate 1950s. H s nte ectua growth was made ev dent n a med a event when he shared the top pr ze w th another contestant on the nat ona y popu ar te ev s on show, The 64 Thousand Do ar Cha enge, n 1957. In 1960, he earned h s Ph.D. n Eng sh terature at New York Un vers ty. Norman s doctora d ssertat on was to have focused on Co er dge s annus m rab s (1797-98), the short per od when he produced four of h s ma or poems: The R me of the Anc ent Mar ner ,Kub a Khan, the f rst part of Chr stabe , and Frost at M dn ght. In exam n ng Co er dge s etters, notebooks, and cr t ca and ph osoph ca wr t ngs, Norman d scovered a pattern of m sdated poems, m srepresented facts, p ag ar zed deas, and frequent protestat ons that he, Co er dge h mse f, was the or g na source of the very deas he was tak ng from others. Norman s own prod g ous memory and fresh read ngs of 18th-century poetry made h m part cu ar y sens t ve to Co er dge s terary k eptoman a, and h s own nnate mora sens t v ty was equa y perp exed and outraged. Encouraged by a prom nent New York ed tor to transform h s thes s nto a commerc a y v ab e book, Norman headed off to Ca forn a for h s f rst academ c post as ass stant professor of Eng sh at what was then Ca forn a State Co ege, Los Ange es. He soon ngrat ated h mse f w th facu ty and students, rece ved an Outstand ng Professor Award, and teamed up w th co eague Mart n Laser to co-ed t a book of essays on J.D. Sa nger. Norman a so was act ve n estab sh ng a successfu freshman compos t on program that p oneered a form of d stance earn ng nvo v ng te ev s on. He advanced to fu professor wh e work ng ass duous y throughout the 1960s on strengthen ng and rev s ng the arguments and ns ghts of h s d ssertat on, wh ch resu ted n the pub cat on n1971 of h s mportant book. The cr t ca recept on of The Damaged Archange was extreme n every sense of the word. Thomas Lask of The New York T mes found t re ent ess y and devastat ng y po em ca and one of the most exc t ng I have read n years. The Amer can academ c estab shment was arge y nd gnant. Co er dge s borrow ng of deas, espec a y from German dea st ph osophers, was common know edge. A though Norman recogn zed Co er dge s gen us, he was far too prosecutor a . Neverthe ess, even as estab shed scho ars fe t that Norman was a brash new k d on the b ock, they cou d not gnore h s f nd ngs. Th s s an mportant, scho ar y, def n t ve, m sgu ded and cur ous y perverse book ( The Journa of European Stud es ). When the dust sett ed, The Damaged Archange was a f na st for the Nat ona Book Award n terary stud es. The recept on for Norman s book was even more pos t ve n Great Br ta n than n the Un ted States. It soon became essent a read ng at Oxbr dge and earned Norman nv tat ons to speak and wr te n Eng and unt ate n the ast century. He became a regu ar and mportant rev ewer for the T mes L terary Supp ement. In 1978, Norman eft Ca State L.A. to take a tenured appo ntment as professor of Eng sh at the Un vers ty of M nnesota. He soon found h mse f embro ed n the cu ture wars of the 1980s. The same eth ca nd gnat on that had stoked h s work on Co er dge s p ag ar sm was now funne ed nto res stance to the ncreas ng ro e of deo ogy and po t cs n the un vers ty s curr cu ar and h r ng po c es. He ob ected to the underm n ng of the Western terary canon n the c assroom, and argued that to rep ace h r ng by mer t w th deo og ca prof ng and gender preference const tuted an nfr ngement of academ c freedom. Norman was oved and adm red by h s students; they fe t h s concern for the r nte ectua we -be ng. He became ncreas ng y a armed at the dec ne of the r fam ar ty w th the r terary her tage. Th s, he be eved strong y, wou d weaken the r grasp of the anguage tse f, a weakness that cou d threaten the r persona and po t ca freedom. As he put t, Norman wanted students to get back to the fee ng about terature that made them readers n the f rst p ace. For a h s gr t, pass on, earn ng, and ded cat on, or perhaps because of them a , Norman was a man of great humor, charm, and persona warmth. As a ong-t me fr end of h s put t, He never hes tated to stand up for what he fe t was r ght, but he was a very to erant person. Norman s surv ved by h s w fe, Dor s, whom he marr ed n 1958; son Dav d; daughters Jess ca and Sara; and four grandch dren.

When h s cha r f na y deemed h s d ssertat on ready for defense, he rece ved an offer from Ca State L.A. s Market ng Department to beg n at the start of the new schoo year. H s comm ttee was unab e to be const tuted unt the end of the summer break, but h s cha r adv sed h m that, because open ngs as a professor were hard to come by, he shou d take the ob n Ca forn a and f y back n the fa to defend h s d ssertat on. He departed New York C ty, wh ch he had eft on y once prev ous y to serve n the Army n Korea dur ng the Korean War. Thus began Bern e s teach ng career at Ca State L.A. He never was ab e to defend h s d ssertat on the fo ow ng fa , as h s cha r d ed sudden y, rep aced by the host e and d sgrunt ed comm ttee member, who adv sed h m to return to New York to start over aga n w th a d fferent d ssertat on sub ect. Bern e consu ted w th h s new Ca State L.A. department cha r, who wanted h m to cont nue teach ng and adv sed a break n research, perhaps to p ck t up aga n after a few years, as he was bad y needed and a ready had a tenure-track pos t on at Ca State L.A. Fu -t me professors w thout term na degrees were not uncommon at the t me, and Bern e stayed. The years went by and Bern e was g ven one pro ect after the other for the Schoo of Bus ness and Econom cs, a of wh ch were h gh y successfu . As a resu t, he never returned to h s research and never returned to comp ete h s doctorate.

At the t me they met, Bern e was a fu professor and d rector of the Schoo of Bus ness and Econom cs execut ve educat on un t, wh ch was runn ng at h gh ve oc ty and n wh ch professors from a departments were part c pat ng. Bern e prev ous y had been a eader n the efforts of professors n var ous d sc p nes from around the country to ass st n atta n ng peace between the Arab countr es and Israe . Th s hercu ean effort preceded former and current U.S. State Department efforts and nvo ved v s ts to many countr es, but was equa y unsuccessfu . Ind v dua schoo efforts at execut ve educat on ceased after a t me and were fo ded nto Extended Educat on. Bern e then began perhaps h s greatest Ca State L.A. accomp shment. H s frequent speak ng and contacts for the reta ng ndustry n the L.A. area revea ed that there was a rea need for a reta nst tute to encourage students to enter careers n reta ng. Most professors wou d ns st on re ease t me to pursue such an endeavor, and so d d Bern e. But budgets were t ght and no one thought he wou d succeed, as UCLA and USC had both tr ed to organ ze such an nst tute unsuccessfu y n the past. But Bern e d dn t g ve up so eas y. Cont nu ng to teach a fu oad, he wrote tera y hundreds of etters and had nd v dua nterv ews w th dozens of reta execut ves.

In 1999, attendance reached 1,000. It was probab y the argest Ca State L.A. event of ts k nd at the t me. After Bern e s success and severa years after he had started Ca State L.A. s Reta Inst tute, a professor of reta ng at USC was g ven a arge sum of money w th nstruct ons to start a reta nst tute at that campus. After two weeks, he wanted to know how Bern e had done t. He had ca ed execut ve after execut ve and was to d the same th ng aga n and aga n: We a ready have our reta nst tute at Ca State L.A.

The Emer t mes, Fa 2014 FRED PYRCZAK, JR., Emer tus Professor of Educat on, 1970-2001, d ed peacefu y n G enda e on Ju y 30, 2014 at age 69. He served w th d st nct on as a s ngu ar y g fted nstructor n both teach ng and pub sh ng. Fred began h s career at Ca State L.A. n 1970, short y after comp et ng h s doctorate n psycho ogy at the Un vers ty of Pennsy van a n 1972. H s bacca aureate was earned at West Chester State Co ege n 1966. He taught seven d fferent courses at Ca State L.A., pr mar y n stat st cs, test ng, research methods, and computer teracy n the Department of Educat ona Foundat ons, wh ch ater became the D v s on of Educat ona Foundat ons and Interd v s ona Stud es. He was one of the few facu ty members n the d v s on to secure externa grant fund ng and serve as a pr nc pa nvest gator. He a so served as cha r of the d v s on. A g fted nstructor, Fred amazed co eague S meon S ovacek wh e S ovacek was serv ng as d v s on cha r when he earned the h ghest student rat ngs and acco ades among a d v s on facu ty wh e teach ng stat st cs. That was qu te unexpected, as stat st cs s a course that h stor ca y has not on y been d ff cu t to teach, but s feared by many students. Fred s sense of humor served h m we not on y n h s teach ng, but n h s pub sh ng efforts. H s f rst book, Stat st cs w th a Sense of Humor, s st w de y used nat onw de after 20 years because t has been so successfu n demyst fy ng what had been an mpenetrab e top c for generat ons of students. He d dn t wr te texts w th the standard 13 to 16 chapters correspond ng to weeks n a semester. Rather, he broke content nto 60 or more sma er chapters. When asked what h s secret was, he sa d that, as many Ca State L.A. students are adu t earners, “You need to change the program every 20 to 30 m nutes.” He knew that many students wou d put off the r read ng unt the dreaded m dterm or f na , so he gave short qu zzes week y to keep students on track. So successfu were h s endeavors at pub sh ng (at east 68 ourna art c es, books, and book chapters at Ca State L.A. a one), that he founded Pyrczak Pub sh ng before ret r ng, where he cont nued to author, pub sh, and d str bute numerous re ated academ c books. Many of h s co eagues were sad to see th s g fted professor ret re n 2001 after what was a ready an outstand ng academ c career. However, they were conso ed by the fact that he went on to share h s g fts and nstruct ona approach w th tens of thousands of students and facu ty throughout the country nstead of the hundreds he taught at Ca State L.A. Before he eft Ca State L.A., Fred s co eagues begged h m to serve aga n as cha r because of h s eadersh p qua t es. A though he dec ned, he shared h s g fts w th some of the facu ty by mentor ng them, and for that they are eterna y gratefu . Even after ret rement, Fred rema ned nvo ved w th h s Un vers ty co eagues. Accord ng to S ovacek, a coup e of t mes a year, a group of former Educat ona Foundat ons cha rs wou d get together soc a y for a sp end d unch and heartfe t shar ng of the r ves. Fred had stopped dr nk ng w ne at the unches more than a decade ago, say ng that he a ways wa ts unt the sun goes down before the f rst g ass. Th s was not an avers on to dr nk, S ovacek exp a ned, but was dr ven by a fe ong comm tment to hard work and product v ty. Ever the workaho c and br ant entrepreneur, the thought of cutt ng short the product ve and creat ve part of the day was unpa atab e to Fred. Th ngs were a ways n the r proper p ace w th h m, and h s comm tment to academ c scho arsh p never wavered. Up unt two weeks before he d ed, he was s tt ng n h s whee cha r d ctat ng ed ts to h s staff for yet another pub cat on. But th s generous man a ways made t me for good food, garden ng, and h s fr ends. Fred s funera was he d on August 8 at Forest Lawn Cemetery. He s surv ved by h s ongt me partner, Randa Bruce; h s s ster, Suzanne; and a n ece and nephew. The Emer t mes, Fa 2014 GUNJIT S.

In add t on to h s other pursu ts, he founded and operated S kand Propert es and ts successor, MG Enterpr ses, LLC, to deve op and manage res dent a and commerc a propert es. Because of h s genu ne concern for the we fare of the commun t es that supported h s goa s throughout the years, Gun t estab shed The S kand Foundat on n 1988. Perhaps h s greatest egacy, th s foundat on contr butes annua y to hundreds of worthwh e char t es. Its goa has been to afford care, educat on, and human tar an serv ces to the needy and t w cont nue ts m ss on for future generat ons that w honor the ves of Gun t and Margarete.

The Emer t mes, Spr ng 2015 PAUL H. ROSENTHAL, Emer tus Professor of Informat on Systems, 1988-2013, d ed at h s home n Sherman Oaks on August 6, surrounded by h s fam y and fr ends. He had a 25-year teach ng career at Ca State L.A. after a d st ngu shed career n pr vate ndustry. As one of three s b ngs, Pau , h s tw n brother B y, and s ster Myra were born n Ph ade ph a to Samue and Ce a Rosentha . From a young age, Pau was observed to be academ ca y astute, exce ng n mathemat cs, and ath et ca y ab e. He rece ved a sw mm ng scho arsh p to attend Temp e Un vers ty, where he comp eted a bache or s degree n mathemat cs and natura sc ence n 1951 and a master s degree n app ed mathemat cs n 1953. Later n h s fe, he obta ned an MBA from the Anderson Schoo of Bus ness at UCLA (1963) and a DBA from USC s Marsha Schoo of Bus ness (1980). After obta n ng h s undergraduate degree, Pau o ned Sperry Rand Corporat on, a ead ng and groundbreak ng computer company of that era, as a manager. W th n a few years, he qu ck y rose to become the d rector of the Western Reg on Data Center, manag ng more than 100 emp oyees. He ater moved from Sperry Rand to become the ass stant to the v ce pres dent of market ng at Computer Sc ence Corporat on. The upward y mob e and char smat c Pau next assumed the pos t on of v ce pres dent and members of the Board of D rectors at Informat on Techno ogy Systems, Inc.

He cont nued n the Facu ty Ear y Ret rement Program unt h s ast days. The Ca State L.A. nformat on systems programs owe much to Pau for the r ex stence. Often referred to as the n t ator and ncubator of the master s degree program, he s cred ted w th p ann ng, des gn ng, and mp ement ng the program that grew, at one t me, to become one of the argest n Ca forn a. Subsequent y, he served t re ess y as the graduate and undergraduate adv ser, prov d ng ong overdue so ut ons to nger ng adv sement ssues. He a so deve oped and ntroduced the capstone courses for the undergraduate and graduate programs. As one of the few professors b essed w th techn ca apt tude and manager a acumen, he taught a var ety of courses n severa departments, nc ud ng the departments of Account ng and Management.
