CAMPUS BUILDING AT EDINBORO TO BE NAMED FOR DIEBOLD
The third oldest building still standing on the Edinboro University of Pennsylvania
campus, known since 1987 as the Center for the Performing Arts and to generations of Edinboro
alumni as the Old College Union, will be rededicated as the Diebold Center for the Performing
Arts in a special ceremony and community reception, 4:00 to 5:30 p.m., Friday, June 14.
The rededication, hosted by the Edinboro University Council of Trustees in cooperation
with the Edinboro University Alumni Association, honors outgoing University President Foster
F. Diebold, who retires from office on June 30 after 17 years as Edinboro president.
Built in 1906 at a cost of $16,980, the building initially served as the second gymnasium
for the Edinboro State Normal School, and until construction of Crawford Gymnasium in 1940,
it was the sole gymnasium facility serving the campus.
During World War II, the building served as a barracks for marshalling troops, and in the
years immediately after the war, a temporary quartering facility for returning servicemen. During
the post-war enrollment boom, it was a dormitory and office complex.
From 1952 to 1971, it was designated as the Student Union, and is still known to
thousands of Edinboro alumni as the “Old Union,” the “Old College Union” or similar
variations. By 1971, the building was the home of the College Union Theatre until it was closed
for repairs in 1982.
In 1985, Diebold began a $3.6 million, joint state-private fund-raising campaign to
restore the Old Union and the adjacent Reeder Hall facility which was built in 1908 and in such
a state of disrepair that it was scheduled to be razed.

Diebold’s fund-raising efforts spared both buildings from destruction. While the
Commonwealth committed $2.1 million to the restoration project, he personally raised the
needed $1.5 million from private sources to undertake the effort.
Renovations to the Old Union were completed in 1986 and the Center for the Performing
Arts dedicated at an October 1987 reception for University employees who donated to the
campaign.
Since its formal opening in the spring of 1988, the Center has added an enhanced
cultural, social and community service dimension to the campus. In addition to staging local
theatre productions and hosting visiting theatrical companies, it has accommodated guest
lecturers, served as a classroom laboratory and recital hall for the music and English and theatre
arts departments. It has also served as a site for special seminars, workshops and continuing
education programs, and it houses the Intergenerational Center for senior citizens in the region.
The ceremony and reception to rededicate the Diebold Center for the Performing Arts are
open to the public and will be held on the lawn area in front of the building.

year-olds. The Academy expects to host nearly 400 young people during the two sessions.
This year’s program will include learning experiences in photography, drawing,
sculpture, computers, archaeology, writing, acting, television production, fencing, sailing, tennis
and many more.
Founded in 1977, the Academy was the first university campus program in Pennsylvania
for bright youth. Many similar programs have since used the Edinboro Summer Academy as
their program model. It has been recognized by the American Association of State Colleges and
Universities as an innovative program, and has also been featured in many media and news
publications.
Since its beginning, nearly 9,300 young people have attended the Edinboro Summer

EDINBORO GRADUATES FIND SUCCESS IN SPECIALTY TOYS
Becky and Randy Bookhamer of Edinboro are proof that the best part of life is quality not quantity. They are the owners of Hidden Treasures toy store in Erie. The graduates of
Edinboro University of Pennsylvania started the business 10 years ago because of their
disappointment at shopping in traditional toy stores.
“There was nothing there we wanted to spend our money on,” said Becky. “We wanted
something that had real quality and would last a long time.” Their four children now range from
12 to college age.
So, in a leap of faith, the Bookhamers quit their jobs and opened Hidden Treasures.
From the beginning their philosophy was to search the world over to find alternative toys not
available in big toy store chains - things like wooden trains from Sweden and Playmobils from
Germany. They emphasize that their toys are age appropriate, ranging from developmental toys
for infants to brain teasers and arts and crafts for older children.
They find toys by attending the New York Toy Fair every year, and this year they made
a trip to the Nuremberg Toy Fair, the largest such show in the world.
Not only is it important to provide quality toys, the Bookhamers believe it is important
to know the people who make and market the toys and support those businesses which keep the
consumer in mind. Among their suppliers is Holgate Toys of Kane, Pa., which is owned by
another Edinboro graduate, Richard Bly (‘77). Holgate makes wooden toys and is perhaps best
known for its trolley from public television’s Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood.

The store also features specialty dolls and stuffed bears like the Madam Alexander Dolls
and the Steiff Bears from Germany. They have bears and dolls from as many as 60-70 artists,
and gift cards and gift bags so customers can come in, buy a present, have it packaged
attractively and go straight to the party.
“We provide a lot of special services,” said Becky, “service you won’t find anywhere
else.” Perhaps that’s why their customers have included Governor Tom Ridge and his family.
Another factor in the success of the business has been the environment they created
within the store itself. After several years in a traditional retail space, they bought one of the
oldest houses on West 26th Street and renovated it extensively, creating an ambiance that
invites people to linger as long as they like. “The renovations were done with a lot of thought.
It’s a very pleasant, upbeat store,” she said. “I like the retail business because I’m able to meet
a lot of people and bring some joy into their lives.”
In recognition of the Bookhamer’s conversion of a residence into an inviting retail
location, the Millcreek Township Planning Commission presented them with its 1995 design
award for renovations.

Walkiewicz, who is noted for his study of radon, presented the results of two ongoing
investigations of background radiation. The first study detailed measurements of on-site natural
gamma radiation and extended this to the radiation exposure an individual receives from radon.
The second study explained how an experiment can be performed to demonstrate the radiation
exposure an individual receives from cosmic rays.
Although not yet formally published, these two experiments are routinely performed by
undergraduate students at Edinboro University.

DIEBOLD CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS DEDICATED AT EDINBORO

The third oldest structure on the Edinboro University of Pennsylvania campus, a
building known to generations of Edinboro students and alumni as the Old College Union and
later the Performing Alts Center, was renamed the Diebold Center for the Performing Arts in
honor of outgoing President Foster F. Diebold during a special ceremony and community
reception held recently on the university campus.
Diebold retires on June 30 after 17 years as Edinboro’s president.
Built in 1906 at a cost of $16,980, the building was first used as a gymnasium and later
as a student union until it was closed for extensive repairs in 1982.
In 1985, Diebold began a $3.6 million, joint state-private fund-raising campaign to
restore the Old College Union and the building next to it, Reeder Hall. Both were in disrepair
and were scheduled to be razed by the state.
Diebold’s efforts saved both buildings. The Old College Union reopened in 1986 as the
Center for the Performing Arts, while Reeder Hall was returned to operation the same year to
serve as the main administration building.
“Pve been fortunate to receive many honors lately, but at the top of the list is the
overwhelming honor of having a building named after me, especially one of my favorite
buildings,” Diebold said at the dedication ceremony, which was hosted by the University’s
Council of Trustees in cooperation with the Edinboro Alumni Association.
“But surely, to have the honor itself to have served Edinboro University has been niy
primary honor and good fortune for these past 17 years,” said Diebold.

presented on behalf of U. S. Rep. Phil Enghsh, as were proclamations from Erie Mayor Joyce
Savocchio, Meadville Mayor Anthony Petruso, and Edinboro Mayor Clifford “Kip” Allen.
Legislative citations from the Commonwealth General Assembly were also given by Sen. Bob
Robbins and Rep. Jim Merry, and a special message from Erie County Council was read by
Councilwoman Tracy Seyfert.
“This is a day I will remember always and honors I will cherish forever,” Diebold said.
“Edinboro University and the thousands of memories, good memories, will make my future so
very meaningful. Thank you and goodbye.”

DONALD DILMORE AUTHORS STUDY OF LIBRARIAN/FACULTY INTERACTION
Dr. Donald H. Dilmore, assistant vice president for libraries at Edinboro University of
Pennsylvania, authored an article for the May, 1996, issue of College and Research Libraries.
The article, “Librarian/Faculty Interaction at Nine New England Colleges,” is a study of what
methods college librarians use to build bridges to classroom faculty members. Dilmore’s study
also surveyed faculty members’ perceptions of library efforts to provide service.
Dilmore said he wanted to discover how faculty and librarians were communicating
with each other because faculty perception of library service may be a key factor in the way the
campus library is used and*supported.
