EDWARD W. KRAUSE
Athletic Director
". . . Proud of the past, relevant to the present, open to the future."
That is the phrase used by the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh to describe the stance of the University of Notre Dame as it enters its 126th academic year.
The past is something of which Notre Dame can well be proud. The University was founded in 1842 by a group of French missionaries led by the Rev. Edward F. Sorin, C.S.C, and the original site is commemorated today on campus by a replica of the log mission chapel which served for a time as the school's only building.
Strong administrative leadership, a dedicated faculty, and a spirited student body were among the factors which contributed to the growth of Notre Dame from an obscure school in the wilderness of northern Indiana in the 1840's to an example of the best in Catholic higher education.
The statistics of recent growth reveal Notre Dame's present strength. Since Father Hesburgh became president in 1952:
The student body has grown from 5,400 to over 7,000.
The University budget has gone from $10 million to $32 million.
Faculty salary outlay has increased from $1.7 million to $10 million.
Value of the physical plant has increased from $18.3 million to $61.6 million.
Endowment of the University has increased from $8.5 million to $65 million.
The University's 5,900-member undergraduate student body  organized in the four colleges of Arts and Letters, Science, Engineering, and Business Administration  reflects the constantly rising standards of admission. In this year's freshman class, for example, one of every five students was
graduated one, two, three, four or five in his high school class. Notre Dame graduates have ranked the University near the top among all schools in the number of nationally competitive fellowships awarded its seniors.
In addition to its undergraduate colleges, Notre Dame has a highly respected Law School, the oldest on any Catholic college campus.
A key to the ability of Notre Dame's relatively young faculty is the increase in research grants from $750,000 to $7.5 million annually since 1952. The Colleges of Science and Engineering recently received large federal grants because of their outstanding research potential.
Notre Dame's future is closely tied to its financial resources, and the University recently announced a five-year, $52-million development program called. "SUMMA: Notre Dame's Greatest Challenge."
SUMMA is a carefully conceived blueprint for Notre Dame's future, and the principal elements of the program include $20 million for faculty development; $13.9 million for graduate education; $4.5 million for special research programs; and $13.5 million for general university development, including three high-rise men's residences. Heading the campaign is Dr. 0. C. Carmichael, Jr., chairman of the board of Associates Investment Company, South Bend, and a University trustee.
While not neglecting the Undergraduate program, SUMMA is geared to Notre Dame's young Graduate School, now enrolling some 1,150 students and offering the Ph.D. in 21 departments. Notre Dame now awards more graduate degrees each year than it awarded undergraduate degrees in 1940, and the SUMMA program hopes to widen the scope of graduate education and research at the University. COACH JOHNNY DEE <* nam dam
One can hardly fault the extreme vitality of Johnny Dee as he moves into his fourth season as head basketball coach of the University of Notre Dame. Dee has truly rebuilt the Irish basketball program, and now with the groundwork completed can look forward to plenty of harvests.
In basketball circles. Dee has become known as an innovator. In addition to revamping pre-game activities in the Notre Dame Fieldhouse and renovating the Irish basketball program, he has added some of his personal touches to the game itself: He designed the basketball shoes and socks worn by the Irish. He is credited with initiating hand-foul indicators used by the scorer and was the first to indicate the official scorer's position on side court by use of a striped banner. For Dee, the adage that nothing is without need of improvement seems to be a creed.
Born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in 1923, Dee moved to Chicago where he prepped at Loyola Academy starring in basketball, football and track. After serving with the Coast Guard, he attended Notre Dame from 1944-46 and then finished his undergraduate work at Loyola in 1947.
His coaching career started in Chicago at St. Mel High School where he was head basketball coach for four years. He then returned to the Notre Dame Law School earning his law degree in 1952, while also working as a basketball assistant to John Jordan.
That summer, with law degree in hand, Johnny moved not to the courthouse but to the University of Alabama fieldhouse as head man of the Crimson Tide basketball program. During his four years at the reins, the Alabamans piled up outstanding 6S-25 mark and in 1955 strung together 14 consecutive league wins to capture the Southeastern Conference title. John also served as an assistant football coach with the 1 952 and 1953 teams which appeared in the Orange and Cotton Bowls.
Dee then moved on for five seasons with the Denver Truckers of the National Industrial Basketball League where his teams finished first or second for four seasons. John was named head coach of the Kansas City Steers in the American Basketball League and his team was on the top when the league folded on January 1, 1963.
GENE SULLIVAN
ASSISTANT COACH
For Gene Sullivan, newly-appointed assistant coach at Notre Dame, filling the shoes of a 6-7 predecessor may pose a bit of a p r o b 1 e m. But with ten years of outstanding success in the fields of coaching and education, his credentials seem more than ample.
Sullivan, athletic director and head basketball coach at Chicago's Loyola Academy for the past ten years, replaces former assistant coach Larry Staverman who became head coach of the Indianapolis Pacers of the now American Basketball Association.
A native of Chicago, Sullivan attended Carl Schurz HighSchool in the Windy City where he was appointed captain by his teammates of the 1948-49 prep squad and was picked as the "most Valuable player" by tho Chicago I*ublic League after the season. In 1949 he entered Notre Dame and graduated in 1953 with cum Iaude honors, earning a Masters Degree in Education two years later.
After two years in military service, Sullivan became head basketball coach at Loyola in 1957. In the following ten-year period, his teams won 295 games while losing 148. Included in his overall record are three Catholic

13 UK 1968 OUTLOOK
Adolph Rupp enters the 1968 basketball season with more question marks than at any time during his 37 successful years as coach of the Kentucky Wildcats.
The first order of business is replacing graduated All-Americas Louie Dampier (20.6 scoring average) and Pat Riley (17.4 points and 7. 7 rebounds per game).
Many eager but inexperienced hands seek the honor. Creating what could be a confusing and/or pleasing situation are 18 varsity players ranging from a 5-10 guard to a 6-10 forward-center.
The smallest Wildcat is Bill Busey, who teamed with Mike Casey to lead the Shelby County Rockets to the 1966 state basketball title.
Busey scored 9.3 points as a freshman while Casey, a 6-4 forward-guard, led team scorers with a 23.1 per game average during his break-in campaign. He also averaged 9.5 rebounds a game. Casey and Busey are part of a sophomore corps which takes up all but seven spaces on the 1968 roster, which includes six seniors and a lone junior.
The biggest Wildcat, also a sophomore, is Art Laib, who transferred to UK last year after playing his freshmen year with Gulf Coast Junior College in Panama City, Fla.
Laib, who needs seasoning and experience, isn't expected to earn a starting berth over such tried performers as seniors Cliff Berger, 6-8 1/2 and Thad Jaracz, 6-6. Other big men on the squad include sophomores Dan Issel, 6-8 1/2; Clint Wheeler, 6-8; Randy Pool, 6-7, and Wayland Long, 6-7.
Berger, who played in 20 of 26 games last season and was fourth high scorer with 226 points, is expected to share the pivot position with Issel, who averaged 21.1 points and 17.3 rebounds.
Jaracz, who was an Associated Press third team All-America his sophomore year, led the team in rebounds (8.3 average) and was third high scorer (293 points) last season.
Bringing experience to the forward position are seniors Gary Gamble, 6-5, and Tom Porter, 6-4, who saw quite a bit of action but averaged less than four points and three rebounds each last season. They'll be challenged by sophomores Casey, Mike Pratt, Wheeler and Pool. Rupp has experimented with Casey at both guard and forward and apparently has settled on the latter. Pratt, 6-4, enters varsity play after scoring 20.1 points and getting 8.1 rebounds a game as a yearling. He hit 53% of his shots. Pool missed the second semester of his freshman year due to academic problems while Wheeler missed the first three weeks of practice because of an ankle sprain. Long, put on a one-year scholarship after his freshman campaign, needs seasoning.
Phil Argento, 6-2, the lone junior, came on strong after earning a starting berth last season and could solve the problem at one guard position. Sophomore Terry Mills, 6-2, looked good in pre-season practice, but the competition is very keen with seniors Steve Clevenger, 6-1, and Jim LeMaster, 6-3, and sophomores Busey, Jim Dinwiddle, 6-4, and Benny Spears, 6-3, providing a strong challenge.
ND 1968 OUTLOOK
Youth and experience. These are the two assets with which Notre Dame basketball coach Johnny Dee will attempt to gain some lustre in the 1967-68 season.
With the return of two outstanding juniors, 6-5 forward Bob Arnzen, and 6-7 center Bob Whitmore, it's hard to question Dee's optimism.
As a sophomore, Arnzen was brilliant and at times spectacular as he scored 30 or more points on seven occasions. His two most notable performances were against Indiana, the Big Ten Conference champions, and against top-ranked Houston, as he scored 38 and 37 points respectively. He finished the season with 597 points to set a Notre Dame record for the most points scored by a sophomore. His output was also the second highest total ever scored by an Irish player.
Although Arnzen was the most productive of Dee's cagers, it was Whitmore who displayed the most improvement during the latter half of the season which earned him credit for spurring the Irish comeback in the 1967 portion of the campaign, as he averaged nearly 20 points per game. His overall defensive work and rebounding efforts were artistic and his .489 offensive accuracy established a Notre Dame record. His finest effort came against Butler at Indianapolis when he sank 17 field goals out of 22 attempts for a fantastic 77%, another Irish single game mark. He finished the evening's work with 43 points, the season's top individual performance.
Alongwith Arnzen and Whitmore is another returning monogram winner, junior Dwight Murphy; who could well key a banner year for the Irish. The lack of experienced guards forced Dee to call upon Murphy, 6-2, for one of the outside posts last year. He made the transition but not without experiencing some difficulty in the early stages of the season. This year, however, he is being counted on for his more natural forward slot which will enable him to capitalize on his special fade-away jump shot. But should he ever be needed at guard, Murphy can fill the bill after ayear's experience. If the switch is needed Dee will then move 6-4 Jim McKirchy, a speedy and quick senior and two-time monogram winner, to forward.
The most likely candidate for one of the guard positions is Jim Derrig, still another junior who stands 6-2. The nifty play-maker came into his own toward the latter part of the season to help the Irish where the most help was needed. His 118 points came from a very respectable .489 shooting percentage and a team high .833 free throw accuracy.
Battling for the other guard spot will be senior George Resto-vich, 6-1, junior Mike Franger, 5-1, and 6-1, sophomore Mike O'Connell. Restovich began last season on the top unit. Franger saw considerable action as a front line reserve.
Although the Irish have lacked experienced depth
