SOUTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY - EDWARDSVILLE

Vol. IX, No. 3

PRESIDENT MORRIS REPORTS ON SIU
TO GRANITE CITY PRESS-RECORD
(The following report on SIU by President
Morris appeared in the December 30 issue
of the Granite City Press-Record~)
A broad-based university is more than a
place where classes are taught. It is an
institution which seeks to bring all of
its resources and all of its energies to
bear in serving the needs of its many constituencies--locally, on the state level,
nationally and globally.
While these resources of Southern Illinois
University have had application to the
Quad-Cities during the span of years in
which the new campus has been emerging,
we can look forward together to an implementation of more plans, to a crystallization of more efforts, now that we have a
large, diversified and thriving central
campus emerging in metro-east.
I
During the fall quarter, there were 717
Quad-City residents enrolled in the undergraduate and graduate programs at the Edwardsville campus, and the implications
of this growing enrollment are plain. So
are the expanding programs of in-plant
training and special courses conducted by
the University's Technical and Adult Education Division in Granite City and elsewhere.
Our Small Business Institute is now developing educational programs in metroeast for owners and managers of retail
establishments and will act as a liaison
in providing faculty assistance to help
solve problems of individual firms. The
Business Research Bureau is currently
involved in a market analysis of the
central business district of Granite City.
The Public Administration and Metropolitan Affairs Program is concerned with
studying social and economic problems
of the metro-east area. Among its many
studies which are pertinent to this
"business forecast" are an "Inventory
of Economic and Population Data for
Metro-East" and "The Impact of Expanded
University Employment at SIU, Edwardsville."
The first report describes this area
through retail and wholesale trade,
manufacturing, employment, income and
financial resources. Population for
the Quad-Cities is expected to reach
59,300 at the end of 1966--a growth
of 5,200 since the 1960 census.
There are approximately 1,200 academic,
administrative or civil service persons
on the Edwardsville campus, with a total
yearly payroll of about $7.5 million.
In addition, 700 to 800 students who
work part time for the University earn
roughly $1 million.
Beyond this direct impact, the housing
industry will grow and shopping facilities and other services will expand
to keep pace with growth of the University.
The construction program on the new
campus is also important. Approximately
80 per cent of the original construction
has been completed, and the balance of
the first phase should be completed
during the next 12 months.
�- 2 -
A second phase of over $6 million should
commence by next spring and continue
through the next two years. This should
continue to provide jobs for hundreds of
construction workers coming largely from
the Quad-Cities and other communities in
the metro-east area.
UNITED FUND DRIVE AT EDWARDSVILLE
CAMPUS EXCEEDS PREDICTIONS
Results of the first all-campus United
Fund drive at the Edwardsville campus
were even better than predicted, according to Prof. CAMERON MEREDITH, head of
the University's State and National Public Services Division, who spearheaded
the drive.
The average contribution of the 300 faculty and staff members who gave was "sub
stantial," Meredith said. Several communities will receive cash and personal
pledges as well as monthly checks from
payroll deduction pledges.
Edwardsville-Glen Carbon and Alton-Hood
River United Funds will receive roughly
$2,000 each from the $4,350 received to
date in the drive. Belleville, East St.
Louis, Collinsville, Tri-Cities, Troy
and St. Louis will get the balance.
In commenting on the outcome of the UF
campaign at SIU, Meredith said he felt
certain that "our total effort will clearly indicate the University's sincere interest in the welfare of communities in
this area. 11
FIRST VOLUME OF PELL COMPLETED
The first volume of PELL (Papers on English
Language and Literature) was completed with
the autumn issue. This issue includes another view of "The Wife's Lament" as seen
by Thomas M. Davis of the English faculty
at Carbondale; an unpublished Washington
Irving manuscript by Prof. JOHN FRANCIS
McDERMOTT of the Humanities Division; and
further sources for Graham Greene's "The
Second Death'! by Prof. MARION TAYLOR,
also of the Humanities Division, and
John Clark.
Coincident with becoming official publication of the Midwest Modern Language
Association, the journal will drop the
"English" in order to carry literature
in other languages and will inaugurate
with its winter issue the use of a
colored -cover, according to Prof.
NICHOLAS JOOST, editor of the quarterly.
Keyed to the four seasons, subsequent
issues will have a blue cover in winter,
green in spring-,. pink,-in summer, and
terra-cotta in the autumn.
Introduced last March, the journal was
chosen official publication by ~~A
because it was young, with policies
still in the development stage.
Slip cases for the first volume will
be sold through the University's Business Office, and bound copies will be
available for use in the SIU libraries.
ALTON-WOOD RIVER
RED CROSS THANKS SIU
President Morris is in receipt of the
following letter from Dr. Paul G.
Stromsdorfer, chairman of the blood
program for the Alton-Wood River Chapter of the American Red Cross. "On
behalf of the Blood Program Committee
of the Alton-Wood River Chapter of the
American Red Cross, I wish to express
our appreciation to the faculty and
students of your university for the
help and cooperation given on our recent Bloodmobile visit.
"258 individuals appeared to donate
blood with 26 being deferred for medical reasons. The Board of Directors
of the chapter joins me in expressing
our deep felt gratitude to Southern
Illinois University for their outstanding efforts in this endeavor. 11

STUDY LAUNCHED ON JUNIOR COLLEGE
NEEDS IN ILLINOIS AND HISSOURI
A study of community junior college needs
in Illinois and Hissouri has been launched
by SIU, according to H. DENE SOUTHWOOD,
Education Division head.
"The rapid grmvth and acceptance of the
community college concept places the responsibility for planning, surveying needs,
and training personnel in the hands of
trained leaders," Southwood said, "and the
SIU Education Division has augmented its
staff with experts in the community junior
college field."
GEORGE GOODHIN and HENRY BOSS, as well as
Southwood, are presently conducting studies
to determine present community junior college programs and future needs.
"The position of SIU, Edwardsville, is
unique in that it is in the center of an
urban growth and population increase where
community colleges will have an increas-
ingly important part in the educational
picture," Southuood said.
"Good\vin came to S IU \Jith 10 years of
experience in teaching and administration at Pensacola (Fl a .) Junior College.
During his tenure as director of Information Services and Community Services the Florida college grew from
400 to 7,000 students and is considered
to b e one of the top five colleges in
the nation, according to experts."
Goodwin has served as consultant to
new junior colleges in Florida, Alabama, Hississip~i; ~nd ~ Louisiana.
Boss is a curriculum leader in Illinois
education and is a member of the Board
of Directors of the Illinois Association
for Supervision and Curriculum Development. A teacher at three universities
and a specialist in the junior college
movement, he also took part in the
Kellogg Foundation-sponsored Community
College Institutes and assisted area
committees in the formation of several
new Illinois community junior colleges.
Southwood, who earned his doctorate
at the University of Florida, taught
at Jacksonville Junior College. He
participated in the preliminary meetings for establishing a junior college in the Madison County Illinois
area and was principal speaker at one
of the meetings.

BUSINESS DIVISION NEWS
The January 3 edition of The Wall
Street Journal carried a letter to
the editor by LOUIS DRAKE, chairman
of the economics faculty. The letter
was written in response to an article
by Raymond Saulnier, former chairman
of the Council of Economic Advisers,
which appeared in the Journal December 14. We quote:
"The closely written article by Dr.
Saulnier appearing in the Dec. 14
Journal makes a solid contribution
to understanding of the action of
the Federal Reserve Board raising
the discount rate from 4% to 4.5%.
The point is made very simply that
it can be doubted that we can expect a continuous growth rate which
will justify increases in the supply
of money as rapidly as occurred in
the past year. The money supply,
defined to mean currency outside
banks plus demand deposits adjusted,
increased 3.5% since May, implying a
practically unheard of rate of increase of over 7%.
"Some of the reasoning by which Dr.
Saulnier comes to the main conclusion, however, helps to keep alive
the controversy over 'tight money.'
"Dr, Saulnier feels that there is
need to explain how it could have
been possible that there was such
�- 6 an outpouring of money during the first
years of the 1960's without serious inflationary results. Pmong other things
it seems that the monetary and fiscal
policy in the late fifties helped 'expunge an inflationary psychology. 1 It
helped establish a relationship between
wages and productivity, consistent with
stable prices.
"That there was a taut monetary policy
in the late fifties is clear. In the
five-year period from 1956 to 1961 the
money supply grew from $136.9 billion
to $145.5 billion or about 6.2%. Real
gross national product grew by 11.5%,
and the index of industrial production
by a little less than 10%. With an increase in the labor force from 70.4
million to 74.2 million, or 5.4% the
result suggests a growth in output per
member of the work force of about 1%
per year.
"The 'discipline' of a tight money
policy was dealt out for the economic
system to catch the renegades responsible
for excessive annual increases in wages,
through collective bargaining. Not all
economists are agreed today that such a
blunderbus treatment is adequate.
"On the other hand, the increase in the
rate of expansion of the money supply in
the 1960's, while not visibly affecting
either money turnover or prices, seems
to have had a marked effect on growth of
national real income. In contrast to
the leveling effect of the late 1950's
from 1961 to 1965 real gross national
product rose 21.7%. To short-circuit
the statistics, it boils down to an annual increase of 3.5% per year per member
of the labor force.
11
The statistical evidence of the 1956 to
1961 and the 1961 to 1965 periods seems
to be consistent with a hypothesis that
in neither period was the economic system
fed so much money that the rise in gross
national product evaporated in markedly
higher prices. Some, but not all, of the
evidence in 1965 suggests that the problem
of what to do about the recalcitrant
labor unions ~vho insist that their
wages must rise faster than can be
justified by the increase in labor
productivity is still with us. Yes,
perhaps even some of the industries,
who may be perfectly happy to sell
at the existing price, but feel that
it may be the public interest that
their prices should be higher, to
'attract sufficient capital, 1 may
be difficult to deal with by general
clampdown on bank deposits.
"Dr. Saulnier's conclusi ons seem to
stand for themselves. The route by
which he got them could stimulate
a lot of controversy. 11

• • . Leaving his field of physics
temporarily, HILLIAH C. SHAH made a
presentation on "Early Illinois Husic''
before the Alton Historical Society on
December 12. Based partly on songs collected by David Mcintosh, partly on songs
passed down from Shaw's grandmother and
mother, most of the music presented was
from Carl Sandburg's collection, "The
Songbag." Sandburg gave Shaw a copy of
his book after using the latter's guitar
in an emergency when he broke a string
on his own instrument. Included in
the songs presented were "El-en-oy,"
"Hoosen Johnny" (a favorite of Lincoln),
"Hizard Oil," and some little-known
songs of the Civil War and Illinois
pioneers. Hrs. Shaw helped with some
of the songs and the session ended
with group singing . . . • Shaw's paper
on "Lab-less Experiments for Non-science
Majors" was selected as one which is
"both significant and newsworthy" for
The American Physical Society--American
Association of Physics Teachers meeting
in New York City January 26-29.
