The Walter E. Helmke Library Endowment campaign is progressing well with a number of major donations from community supporters and alumni, said Carl Bickley, director, community outreach and development. The endowment campaign was officially kicked off at an IPFW Board of Advisors meeting in December. Paul Shaffer, president, Fort Wayne National Bank, is serving as endowment chair, and Helene Foellinger and Joseph Muhler are honorary chairs. Serving as associate chairs are Ian Rolland, Jeanne Miller, and Joseph Giusti. The community portion of the campaign to date has elicited more than $400,000 in pledges. The community solicitation will be completed in the fall. The second part of the campaign involves the more than 14,000 IPFW alumni, according to alumni director John Hobson. With alumna Beverly Richard at the helm, the alumni campaign has already raised nearly $15,000. Richard is being assisted by Wade Fredrick, assistant director, community outreach and development. "This is the first time we've done an organized alumni campaign and I'm very pleased to be this far along," said Hobson. "All of us in the administration have been particularly delighted with the alumni eagerness." The final part of the campaign will be implemented this fall as faculty, staff, and students will be asked to donate to the library endowment. "It will be important for all members of the campus community to demonstrate the same kind of support we have seen from the community and the alumni," said Bickley.

Beautiful century-old trees were sliced and uprooted, and physical plant crews immediately began the cleanup procedures.

Program manager Ball increases sports awareness spotlight on staff Although the duties of Arnie Ball, program manager for athletics and sports information director at IPFW, encompass many areas, volleyball is his first love. With the new multi purpose building as an enticement for recruits, Ball says he has been able to increase greatly the possibilities for the volleyball program at IPFW. Eleven new women and twelve new men players will be participating in the program this coming year, he added. "We have a good place to practice and a good place to play," he said. "You can't recruit good players and have good competition by playing in a poor facility or a building that is not your own. With the new athletic facility, things are changing. The new students coming into our program are coming from all over the Midwest. It's time we make an attempt to show the people in the Midwest that we are here." Another way Ball is attempting to increase sports awareness at IPFW is through the Red and Gold volleyball and soccer day camps that are scheduled this summer. The day camps are open to students from grades five through college and are camps on the basics of the game. According to Ball, more than 140 students are already enrolled in the summer programs. "We're doing this not only to teach the game, but to get people involved on this campus. Moms and dads have to drop their kids off and pick them up again and will get the chance to see what we have to offer," he said. "A lot of people don't even know this new facility exists, and this is helping to get more people aware of what we have to offer." What the multi purpose building does offer is considerable. There are five racquetball rooms, a 1/4-mile indoor jogging track that is elevated and glass-enclosed, a wrestling and judo room, weight room, training room, activity room for gymnastics and dance, three full basketball and volleyball courts, three classrooms, locker rooms, and seats for 3,000 people. "We had people training for the Boston Marathon all winter long on our indoor track," Ball said. "This facility is open to students, staff, faculty, alumni, and their guests. I hope that this new building will help get our student body more actively involved in our athletic programs, and they'll come out and support our teams." Ball came to IPFW after teaching and coaching for 14 years in the East Allen County Schools. "Leaving a position where I had a great deal of security and enjoyed my teaching and coaching was scary for me. But I was interested in taking a shot at the next level up," said Ball. The next level for Ball involved coaching volleyball at the college level and assuming administrative duties. Joining the staff of IPFW last August, Ball was able to participate in the final arrangements for the new multi purpose building at IPFW. At the same time, he was also named coach for both men's and women's volleyball. One of Ball's first duties was to oversee the installation and placement of the volleyball courts in the multi purpose building. According to Ball, "This facility is as nice as any in the country." Ball is happy with his decision to join the IPFW staff. "I have thoroughly enjoyed the year I've been here. I'm pleased I made the decision to do it. People have been great and very understanding as we have gotten things going." The future of athletic programs at IPFW looks good, according to Ball. "I think with a positive attitude and believe we are headed in a direction which will make our athletic programs even greater." Spotlight on Staff and Focus on Faculty are published as regular Intercom features in alternate months.
