. . . with Grace Chatterton A TOUR OF THE CAMPUS In the accompanying picture you see Prof, Richard M. Shackelford of the University of Wisconsin department of genetics displaying a "sapphire" mink to wives of UW re- gents and administrators. Seated, left to right, are Mrs. J. Martin Klotsche, Milwaukee, wife of the provost at Uni- versity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee; Mrs. J. Kenneth Little, whose husband was vice president of student affairs; Mrs. E. B. Fred; and Mrs. John D. Jones Jr., Racine, whose hus- band is a regent. Standing, left to right, are Mrs. Joseph S. Holt, whose husband is assistant to the vice president of business and finance; Mrs. Ira L. Baldwin, wife of the vice president of academic affairs; Mrs. George Watson, wife of the state superintendent of public instruction; and Mrs. El- lis E. Jensen, Janesville, and Mrs. Wilbur N. Renk, Sun Prairie, whose husbands are regents. The wives were guests of Pres. and Mrs. Fred on a July weekend, and the stop at the fur animal research laboratory was one of the highlights of a campus tour. Escorted by Mrs. Fred, the party started at the Dairy Cattle Research Center with a demonstration in the milking parlor; continued to Babcock Hall for short discussions of developments in dairy and food processing and a look at ice cream making; took a look at new dormitory sites, University Houses, and the new apartments for married students: had a coffee break with Dean Frances Zuill and members of her home economics faculty, and ended the morning in the .rare book rooms of the Memorial Library. The beginnings of a mink coat (see above) Wisconsin Alumnus, October, 1957 After lunch in the new food serving units of the Wiscon- sin Union, the party drove to the Engineering campus for a look at a solar cooker, electrical generators, and other equip- ment; moved over to the Athletic Practice Building, where Coach Ivy Williamson described its uses and Prof. Fred Har- rington gave them a short history of Camp Randall; on to University hospitals where they were shown the pump used in heart surgery, and finally to the Commerce Building for the last stop of the tour. A reception at the home of UW Vice Pres. and' Mrs. A. W. Peterson, and dinner at Olin House with Pres. and Mrs. Fred completed the very busy day. HONOR WELL DESERVED One of Wisconsin's most distinguished home economics graduates, Gladys Branegan Chalkley, '13, has received the honorary degree of Doctor of Science from Montana State College in recognition of her constructive and vigorous leader- ship in her profession. For 24 years Mrs. Chalkley was a member of the faculty of this school. As Dean of the division of household and applied arts she developed a strong under- graduate program, and introduced courses in child develop- ment (with a nursery school), and family relations. She also initiated research and graduate programs, and was a dominant force in thp purchase and remodeling of the home manage- ment house and in planning and furnishing the student union and women's dormitories. BROUGHT TO YOU BY... Did you know that a Wisconsin woman, Joyce Gafke Wickware, '44, writes many of the commercials used by Arthur Godfrey, Art Linkletter, Tennessee Ernie Ford, the "Queen for a Day", show, and the daytime serial "Edge of Night"? Joyce started her career with two small radio and TV stations. She says that this was valuable experience be- cause a minimum of staff gave her an opportunity to do more than one thing, and consequently she learned about many other facets of the business. Following this came a position in Chicago working as an assistant producer of live TV with an advertising agency. Now Joyce lives in New York where she maintains a home, has two children 10 and 8 years of age, and continues her career as a writer for an advertising agency. JUST FOR KIDS "Happy Ticker", a free monthly magazine published for the entertainment of 350 hospitalized and shut-in children in Milwaukee is edited by Emily Moeller Hokanson, '39. Chil- dren like it so well they often try to stay on the mailing list after they have recovered and gone back to school. Originally meant for youngsters with rheumatic fever, the 15 to 20 page booklets sponsored by the Milwaukee Junior League and the County Heart association now go to children suffering from polio, muscular dystrophy and other illnesses. The publica- tion is Emily's brain child and her own five children pass judgment on her material. Home economics and journalism studied while at the University iake Emily a well qualified editor of "Happy Ticker". 27
