Inclement weather, a temporary interruption in the paving of the parking lots, and students' lack of knm1ledge of the geoGraphy of the ne•v 2, GOO-acre campus were blamed for keeping enrollment below the expected 4,000 mark. All ready for use were the $3,630,000 Elijah P. Lovejoy :tlemorial Library and the $3,500,000 John l1ason Peck Classroom and Faculty Off ices Building. The remaining 4,000 enrolled at the Edwardsville campus complex this year are attending classes at the Alton and East St. Louis teaching centers. Host of them are freshmen and sophomores or science and fine arts students. The science laboratory and classrooms building is scheduled for completion in January. The followinG spring the communications building ,;rill be ready for use and in the fall of 1966, a University Center •·l ill be opened. " ·' ' ..., ·.. ·.• · . ·~ . Until the center is ready, food service at Edwardsville is provided by Servomation in the library basement. The elaborate vending machines have hot and cold buffets, sandHiches, and all kinds of desserts. A dry run of the operation was made on September 22 when University personnel were guests of the vendinG machine company and the University Center noard. The cafeteria is open Nondays throuch Saturdays from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and on Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The entire 200-acre central academic core >vill be a "pedestrian campus," with traffic limited to service and delivery vehicles, and some of these will use underground ramps. The core is reached by a road which prov ides access to Hiehway 157 (formerly By-Pass 66) at two points. Among the unusual features of the buildings are the placement of all stationary elements, such as stairways, rest rooms, J Some 3,000 students enrolled this fall for classes on the Ed,·m rdsv ille campus. �- 2 - Until the University Center is complete, elaborate vending machines set up in the basement of the new· library will provide hot and cold buffets, sandwiches, desserts, and drinks. elevators and mechanical equipment, in towers around the edges of the structures. This leaves interior spaces free so that movable partitions can easily be rearranged to accommodate classes with as few as 12 or as many as 200 students. The library has carpeting through most of the building. Research financed by the Ford Foundation showed this would not only reduce noise but would prove cheaper in the long run and easier to maintain than conventional floor covering. The library also has the world's EDWARDSVILLE CANPUS HOLDS ITS FIRST SUMMER COMMENCENENT EXERCISES For the first time in its eight-year history, the Edwardsville campus had enough summer graduate candidates to warrant an August commencement program. In other years summer degree candidates have gone to Carbondale to receive their degrees. On August 2G, President DELYTE W. MORRIS conferred degrees on 276 candidates. The list of degrees included 176 baccalaureate degrees, 98 master's, and two associate degrees.

" Last spring (June 17) nearly 500 students receiveddegrees from President Morris and heard Harold B. Gores, president of the Ford Foundation's Educational Facilities Laboratories, deliver the commencement address. Gores worked closely with the University in early planning stages of the new campus and his agency contributed funds toward the research that went into development of unique equipment and fur- �- .., .) nishings for the science and library buildings.

GOinG came to SID's Edwardsville campus when it opened in the fall of 1957. An English scholar, he came as a full professor in the Humanities Division. The following year he was named dean of instruction. His title was changed in 1963 to dean of academic affairs. Vice President of Academic Affairs ROBERT MacVICAR said, upon announcing Dean Going's request to return to full-time teaching, "The University is deeply indebted to Dean Going, and I am pers.onally very sorry that he '"ishes to step down from a post he has filled so admirably. HovJever, he has expressed a strong desire to do more teaching and to conduct research in his special field of concentration, in which ne'' sources of information have recently become available." Hilliam Going Author of two books and numerous poems, articles and boolc reviews, Prof. Going has a special interest in the Victorian author and poet Hilfred Scawen Blunt. His doctoral dissertation at the University of Michigan, later published, dealt with Blunt's sonnets. He has also compiled and edited a book of 99 Fables by Hilliara Narch which was voted one of the outstanding books of 1960 in an annual competition open to publishers in the southern half of the country.

The presentation was made last spring follmving announcement that Prof. Stephens and his wife Justine and daughter Barbara were going back to the Carbondale campus where he served n ine years befor e coming to Edwardsville i n 1961. His decision to return to full-time teaching and research was a loss to the adminis tration, which he served in several capacities, but a gain for the students who will learn under this dedicated teacher. "After all," he said in comment :Lng on his request to be relieved of his vice presidential duties, "I earned my doctorate in education so I could teach." The Stephens' younger daughter, Barbara, is a freshman this year at SIU in Carbondale. Their married daughter, Rebecca,is married and lives in Dayton,Ohio. �- l:. - SCHNABEL CHAIRS CO:l'1MITTEE JOHN SCHNABEL has been named chairman of the Facilities Utilization Committee of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers.

BUSINESS DIVISION NEHS "Real estate, like death or taxes, is sure to enter into the life of everyone in either buying, renting, or leasing a place to live. 11 On this premise, the 1li\LTER BLACKLEDGES wrote an article entitled, "Give Your Students Reality in Realty," which has been accepted for publication by Business Education Horld. In their article they explain the importance of every individual's knowing the basic elements of acquiring a home and how to find one that Hill fit his particular needs and Hishes, at the same time acquiring it as economically as possible. The authors developed ·va:tious techniques which they believe will acquaint the student Hith the required information to utilize in searching for or buying the right home. The final technique developed a method for selling a house when the owner is suddenly transferred or is forced to move to another area. The article is to be published during the current academic year. LEO COHEN has been asked by the National Tax Association to prepare a report on recent court cases involving railroad tax litigation. The report will be presented at the Association's convention in November and 'tvill be published in the annual proceedings next spring.

He told the [;roup he has no doubt that the U. S. 'vill eventually get out of Viet Nam and Asia altogether. Russia, he said, will eventually become an ally of the U. S., and the U. S. should do everything in its power to exploit the difference between the Soviet Union and Red China. Thorson stated that the design of the Soviet Union was still domination but that she is no longer willing to use violent means to obtain her goal. According to Thorson, the Peace Corps "has proved to be a powerful tool in parts of the '..rorld where the U. s. position is still salvageable." EDUCATION DIVISION llEHS The significant responsibilities of local school boards in the matter of substitute teaching is di s cussed in the current issue of the Illinois School Board Journal. Authors are DAVID BEAR and REGAN CARPENTER. Entitled "The Scho.o i · no ~rd and the Substitute Teacher Program, 11 the article makes 10 points to which school members should pay attention. These include the amount of substitute teaching that takes place each year, tailoring the program to fit individual school districts, evaluation of the program, written teacher policy, adequate financial support, recruiting and retaining substitute teachers, obtaining community support, encouraging more professionalism, improved communication, and better in-service programming. Bear is currently a member of the Alton School Board. • • • ERWIN BRINKMANN's manuscript entitled "Programmed Instruction as a Technique for Improving Spatial Visualization" has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Applied Psychology.

Purpose of the Summer Institute in Individual �- 7 and Group Counseling \-las to prepare counselors to work effectively in an elementary school setting .-Jith special competence in counseling elementary school children, teachers, and parents in groups. • • • An article co-authored by Sonstegard and Leland Hott of the State University of Iowa entitled "Relating Self-Conception to Curriculum Development" appeared in the April issue of The Journal of Educational Research. In their story they complain that educators responsible for determining curriculum content often have failed to consider the child in all his aspects. "Getting content 'covered' has been of greater concern to teachers and administrators than psychologically 'uncovering' the learner." The mental life of the learner is only one element in the total stream, the movement tmvard a final goal, they assert. "Care must be exercised, therefore, that the curriculum materials developed for a child will relate to his goals. To do otherwise could result in a possible conflict between the child's goals and the subject matter being taught." The individual's ability to find his place in the social group rests in large part upon his concept of himself, the authors claim. "It would seem that the knowledge of hm-J self-attitudes relate to individuals and groups would be particularly useful to curriculum makers and teachers." Purpose of the study made by Sonstegard and Hott was to ascertain the self-attitudes of a select group of junior high school students. The basic assumption was that junior high students would reveal, on a simple group-administered projective device, those self-attitudes that are most significant and prominent in their personalities. The study \vas conducted with a group of 61 junior high school students of a 1960 Summer Seminar in Mathematics and Science at Malcolm Price Laboratory School, State College of Imva, Cedar Falls. No generalizations >vere made from the small sampling but the authors suggest that high school social studies teachers give serious attention to the question, "How functional is the traditional social studies curriculum in promoting desirable self conceptions in students?" • • • GEORGE WILKINS has been made a member of the National Camping Committee of Boy Scouts of America and also a member of Region No. 7 Camping Council.

FINE ARTS DIVIS ION NEUS EVELYN BUDDEMEYER and her husband Arthur were in Japan in August for the Congress of the International Society for Education Through Art. Fifteen pieces of children's art work selected by ~trs. Buddemeyer were on exhibit at the INSEA Congress. In addition to hearing lectures and seeing demonstrations by outstanding artists from around the world, Mrs. Iluddemeyer and other Congress attendants toured central Japan and saw much of the ancient cultural heritage of that country. Thirty-two countries were represented at the Congress; the largest delegation \vas from the United States. Mrs. Buddemeyer, the only delegate from Illinois, was most impressed by the friendliness of the Japanese people. "They know how to move \vith quiet dignity. • • • The Japanese are interested in the importance of 'being'--not in what you are. Their characteristics are reflected in their beautiful art works." Interested in oriental objects "since I found out there .-Jas no Santa," Mrs. Buddemeyer collected some Japanese antiques on her trip, visited museums, shopped for silks and \voodcuts, and �- 8 - bought Japanese and Chinese works of art, both modern and ancient. Some of her observations revealed such interesting items as the fact that casualties and temperature are not reported in Japanese newspapers. In Kyoto, where she spent considerable time, she found that it takes only t-vw minutes to board the train from Tokyo and that 30 round trips are made each day. There are no seats in the railroad stations because all the space is used for those walking to and from the trains. Visiting in Nara, she learned the origin of the expression "Passing the buck. 11 In that city, one of Japan's oldest, the deer has been sacred for thousands of years. Long ago it was considered bad luck to find a dead deer in front of one's house. Each morning someone in the household \vould get up to see if someone had put one of the sacred deer in front of his home. If he did, he would pass it on to the front of his neighbor's house. • The 196L~ Year Book of The American Philosophical Society included an article by EDWIN HARREN on the life and >JOrks of Robert Fayrfax (lL~GL~-1521). One of England's most significant but least known composers, Robert Fayrfax is one of the important links between Dunstable and the later Tudor composers, according to Harren. Full justice has not been done to him, he says, although his position as a leading British musician of his day has never been questioned. The fact that none of his music was printed during his lifetime, and very little since, accounts for this neglect. Although his name is found in all important music histories and encyclopedias from the time of Harley to the present, Fayrfax has aroused, until recently, only the casual interest of music historiographers. Don Anselm Hughes began the Fayrfax "revival" in 1952 with "An Introduction to Fayrfax" in Musica Disciplina. Since then, Harren has done further research into the music of Fayrfax and has discussed his findings in three articles in the same yearbook. He acquired photostatic and film copies of the manuscripts of all the works and had prepared the motets and Magnificat-settings for publication as the second volume of the Collected ~· In doing so he discovered that many of the prints were either faulty or incomplete and that it was necessary to go to the original manuscripts in order to complete the transcribing of the contents of the second volume and to check the manuscripts for the third. A grant from the American Philosophical Society made it possible for Warren to spend time in England and Scotland··in'· l963 working with the original manuscripts. As a result, the second volume, containing the motets and Magnificat-settings, was revised and is now in process of publication, as is the third volume, -.;vhich contains the secular part-songs, instrumental pieces, and incomplete works. Also resulting from the grant will be a fourth article in Musica Disciplina -.;v-hich will discuss Fayrfax's secular music and will bring the manuscript sources of his music up to date; and finally to summarize the entire project, a book, The Life and Works of Robert Fayrfax, to be published by the American Institute of llusicology in its series, "Musicological Studies and Docu.ments." • • • New members of the art and design faculty are exhibiting some of their works in a show which opened September 24 in Loomis Gallery and \vill run through October 18.

THOMAS MARTLAND' s article, "A Study of Cappadocian and Augustinian Trinitarian Methodology," appeared in the July issue of the Anglican Review. Argument of his �- 10 - article is that St. Augustine's methodology, while emphasizing the unity of the Godhead, does so only at the expense of deserting the traditional Trinitarian point of view and the experientialapproach of the Cappadocians. He thus states that "Augustine has failed to deal meaningfully with the Christian experience of God who of His nature is a multiple." This preoccupation with the unity of God ha~ reduced the Trinity to the status of dogma from Augustine's point of view.

Published as a small hard cover book under the title 11 Der Zweite Heltkrieg und die Kriegsschuldfrage," the monograph analyzes problems of historical judgment raised by the California historian David L. Hoggan's diplomatic history of the outbreak of Horld Har II, Der Erzwungene Krieg, and by the storm ~academic controvery which that book provcked in Germany. Glaser observes that although Hoggan and his critics are at swords points as to who was mainly responsible for starting Horld Har II, they are tncitly agreed that whoever did start it is the villain in the piece. Precisely the latter proposition needs to be re-examined, Glaser writes, and this re-examination leads to a necessary revision of the judgment recorded in the Nuremoerg Trial. Glaser's study was aided by a research grant made available through the Graduate Council of SIU, enabling him to go to California to consult American scholars involved in the controversy. Inasmuch as the argument about responsibility for World Har II has its focus in German academic circles, Glaser wrote his manuscript directly in German. PAUL GUENTHER of the Humanities Division advised him on questions of literary style. In addition to teaching a full load during the summer quarter, Glaser also completed his part in preparing the manuscript of l·l estern Policy and Eastern Europe, which he edited with David s. Collier, director of the Foundation for Foreign Affairs, Chicago. The third in a series edited by Collier and Glaser, it is a collection of articles by American and European scholars adapted from papers given at an international conference in Chicago last March. Glaser has also written a book revie•.,r of Michael Balfour's The Kaiser, Hanna Vogt's The Burden of Guild (a history of the Heimar Republic and the Third Reich), and R. H. Leonhardt's ~ Germany: the Story Since ~ Third Reich. Hritten at the request of the editors of Modern Age, it will appear in the fall issue of that publication. STUDENT SERVICES NEHS THOMAS W. HANSMEIER came to the Edwardsville campus this fall as assistant to Dean of Students Jack Graham from Kent State University, \lhere he had served one year as assistant executive dean. Hansmeier went to Kent in 1960, and there he served first as assistant dean, then as dean of men. Prior to that he served two years as head resident adviser at Michigan State UniThomas Hansmeier versity, where he received his doctor's degree in college student placement work. A native of Haukon, Iowa, he earned his bachelor's degree in social sciences in 1954 and his master's degree in guidance and counseling in 1957 from the State College of Iowa. Hansmeier is also an associate professor in the Education Division. He and his wife Jean have two children, a son, Martin Eric who is eight, and a daughter, Hendy Jean, five. STATE AND NATIONAL SERVICES DIVISION NEHS LOUIS WATERS, field representative for Community Development Service at Edwardsville, was in Bethel, Haine, this summer where he participated in the Community Leadership Training Laboratory sponsored by the National Training Laboratory of the National Education Association. �- 13 Waters was a member of a team from SIU which included Uilliam Miller, consultant, and Richard Johnson, research assistant, both from the Carbondale office. The laboratory trainin 0 program provided a variety of experiences in interpersonal relations, group development, problem solving, decision making, and organizational relationships, Waters reported. "An important phase of the laboratory was a human relations training group, referred to as a 'T group' or 'sensitivity training group.' This intensive group experience leads to new understanning of oneself and one's relationships with others, as well as to the development of personal insights and skills in inter-personal and group relations." • • • LOUIS BOBKA, supervisor, and LILA TEER, consultant in the East St. Louis office of Community Development Service, were part of a team from SIU which conducted a session at the Fourth National Seminar on Community Development of Urban Areas held this summer at Rutgers. Other members of the team were Robert Child, assistant director of CDS, and Jim Rea, consultant at Carbondale. In developing the topic, "Community Development in a Small Town and in a Large City," Rea spoke about small town development and Babka and Mrs. Teer discussed development in an urban area. In his introductory remarks, Child presented the approaches to the two kinds of development. It was generally agreed that university-oriented community development efforts have had their major impact in rural areas, in small towns, and through our aid program overseas. The seminar was sponsored by the Community Development Division of the National University Extension Association, of which Child is a division chairman. • • • Following approval of a Federal grant of $399,000, The Neighborhood Youth Corps program got underway in East St. Louis. Purpose of the program is to give summer jobs in 65 public and private non-profit organizations in the area to those falling in the 16 to 21 age bracket. CDS, throuGh the Council of Neighborhood Units of Co~unity Progress Incorporated, and with the help of the Adult Education School, found placements in seven neighborhood units for 65 of these Youth Corps workers. Jobs included clerical work, supervisinG recreation, and conducting a four-part community survey. The areas of the surveys included housing, sanitation, community services, the impact of DPI and of the Adult Education School on the community. Youth Corps workers worked up to 30 hours a week at $1.25 an hour, which meant a total income of more than $2,000 a week for nee.9y. yputh in the area. • • • JANE SCHUSKY, research associate with SIU's Public Administration and Metropolitan Affairs ProGram, appeared August 7 on Parker Hheatley's television program, "Eye on St. Louis." Mrs. Schusky discussed with vfueatley results of a study she made in 1963 on "Public Awareness and Concern Hith Air Pollution in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area." In cooperation with the national Opinion Research Center of Chicaco, Mrs. Schusky and her staff surveyed some 1,002 households in St. Louis, St. Louis County and St. Clair and t~dison counties. Results of the survey, announced at a press conference Aucust 3 by Mrs. Schusky, showed that more than 90 per cent of the respondents felt some governmental agency should do something about air pollution in the area. St. Louis County residents were found to be the least bothered by air pollution and residents of St. Clair County the most bothered. An advance report on her findings was given in June by Mrs. Schusky at the Air Pollution Control Association's conference in Toronto. • •• A second conference for Public Housing and Building Officials was held July 18-21 at Pere Narquette State Park. State and National Public Services, cooperating with Technical and Adult Education and Community Development Service, provided sponsorship for the seminar which dealt with the "Horkable Program for Community Improvement." Present �- 14 were public housing and code enforcement administrators from around the state and several Federal representatives from Public Housing, Urban Uenewal and Federal Housing administrations. According to NORMAN JOHNSEN, conference coordinator for State and National Public Services Division, the conference topic was selected as the basic theme 11 for it effects and relates to housing, urban renewal, planning, code enforcement, relocation and other interwoven activities. Hithout the clear understanding and support by the community, a v10rkable program becomes a study in futility. 11 • • • Three members of Placement Service were in Cincinnati September 12-15 for the 16th Annual Conference of the Midwest College Placement Association, DAVID VAN HORN, MAX HANSEL and Mrs. ANNABELLE SHEPPARD. Hore than 960 persons from business, industrial firms, and placement directors from midwestern colleges and universities attended, making it the largest conference for attendance in 16 years. The next conference will be held in St. Louis. Van Horn is co-chairman of the Registration Committee for the September, 1966, meeting . • • • Van Horn advises us that his office has on file a number of positions in which faculty wives might be interested. There is no charge for this service, he says, and faculty and family are welcome to use the service. His Edwardsville number is 692-2800.

CASSTEVENS entitled 11 The Training Director's Job 11 appeared in the July issue of the Training Directors Journal of the Aoerican Society for Training and Development. In his article he points up changes and trends during the past five years. The training director is becoming more of a manager and less of a practitioner, he says. 11 Each year he does more administering and less conference leading. Yet he must know more, not less, of the techniques--but from the standpoint of how to use them rather than how to perform them. As a corollary to this, less skill but more judgQent is required.11 The training director's primary job, he went on to say, is to serve the operating people. He must determine �- lSi the training needs, and perform training on occasion. lie should translate the needs into a pro3ram, design the programs, staff them or see that they are staffed, and follmv up on them. Casstevens sums up Hith, "Let the training director prosper as his organization prospers and in relative proportion! This would tend to help him to become all these things ~vhich I believe he should be--a change agent, a policy molder, a planner, and effective management consultant." Speaking June 7 to the Freeburg Rotary Club, Casstevens explained SIU's Adult Education Program. "S IU is doing its job as well as any of the prestigeladen, heavily endowed, privately operated universities but it is a different job," he told the Rotarians. "The role of a state university is not to add to the erudition of the elite but to minister to the vast middle group which is the heart of dc~ocracy. "SIU has a terrific adult education program. It has a Vocational Training Institute, an Industrial Management Program, a Traffic Nanagement Program, reading and English review courses, in-plant courses, and a Development Program for l1iddle Management. These are examples of our attempts to aim at specific needs of the adults of the community, with emphasis on business and industry. . ' .. .. . - · . -~ . "They should be a part of the SIU program because the successful person of the future 'tvill be one who not only accepts change but who causes change and becomes a part of change. Change is the business of adult education." PROFILE ------ETHEL RAINS, administrative clerk in the Personnel Office, first came to work at SIU's new campus on October 9, 1958, which makes her one of its pioneers. Her first assignment was in the Business Office at the East St. Louis Center where she vms a clerk stenographer. There she Has also closely associated with Gene Turner, assistant registrar, who later became first supervisor of personnel for the Edvmrdsville campus. Mr. Turner recognized her talents, her enthusiasm, and her conscientious devotion to her work and arranged to have her transferred to his ne~v office on July 1, 1959. Ethel Rains Although officially her title became payroll clerk, she \vas really "Girl Friday" to Mr. Turner. Indeed, for a time the two were the Personnel Office. A skyrocketing enrollment and subsequent hiring of more and more faculty and staff necessitated an increase in personnel in Personnel, and Ethel has grown with the job. �- 16 - There have been two changes in supervisors since, and each agrees that the changeovers were made easier because of Ethel's knowhow on personnel matters. Mr. Turner became personnel director on the Carbondale campus in 1962 and -v1as replaced at Edwardsville by MORRIS CARR, former head of the business office at the Alton Center. In April of this year he ~vas named head of the East St. Louis Center's General Office, and GEORGE EVANOFF was named to succeed him in the personnel post. Handling three payrolls--faculty and administration, civil service, and students-is no small job. Ethel's job calls for seeing that tax and retirement reductions are made, that addresses and telephone numbers are kept up to date. She handles new contracts. All information is put on IBN, so Ethel works closely with Data Processing. Faculty members appreciate the extra mile she goes in advising them on insurance, sabbatical leave papers, or other matters which come up that they might overlook without her gentle reminder. Born in Litchfield, she was graduated from Morrisonville Community High School and has taken a number of courses at SIU. Before coming to this area she worked for the Illinois Teachers Retirement System in Springfield. Her youthful good looks belie the fact that she has not only four children--two sons and two daughters--but five grandchildren! In addition to handling a job and a family, she finds time for wcrk in her church, Immanuel Methodist in Edwardsville. Michael, her husband, is a salesman for a plumbing supply company and is active in civic affairs of Edwardsville, where he serves on the city council. �SOUTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY/EDWARDSVILLE, ILLINOIS ..

"Are you for Federal aid or against Federal aid to education?" You may have been asked this question many times. According to GEORGE T. WILKINS, associate professor in the Education Division, we are no longer faced with the proposition. "We already have Federal aid--with marching orders!" says Wilkins. An educator for more than 43 years, Wilkins has served the people of Illinois at every level from classroom teacher in the rural schools of Union County through the offices of city superintendent of schools in Wolf Lake and Thebes and superintendent of Madison County schools to superintendent of public instruction for the State of Illinois. Wilkins has traced the course of AmerGeorge T. Wilkins ican educational philosophy from colonial days to the present, illustrating th~ degree of present-day Federal participation in education with a chart showing bills passed by the 89th Congress. The chart measures over three feet wide by four feet deep and lists 66 bills which were enacted into law and are now being impl emented at a cost the first year alone of more than $1.5 million. The idea of universal education--free public schools for all children--was an alien idea to all but a few ·of our most farsighted founding fathers, says Wilkins. Now the pendulum has swung to its other extreme, and unless educators at the local, county and state levels supply the ideas and leadership which will keep the Federal government in its proper role of "partners in education" rather than "master," then our cherished traditional concept of state control of education can no longer remain valid. Washington will quickly move in to fill the void, he warns. Wilkins cites several noteworthy attempts by early American leaders to establish a universal system of education, crediting Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson with our present-day educational philosophy. In 1749 Franklin produced an essay entitled "Proposals Relating to the Education of Youth in Pennsylvania," and Thomas Jefferson in 1786 introduced a bill in the Virginia General Assembly known as the "Bill for the More General Diffusion of Knowledge." Ten years later the Virginia Assembly acted on Jefferson's bill but attached an amendment which made it ineffective, according to Wilkins. Wilkins credits Samuel W. Moulten with establishing the idea of local taxsupported school districts in Illinois. As early as 1825 the General Assembly of Illinois had given local districts the legal right to levy a local tax to support schools but repealed the law only two years later. "It was not until Moulten began his 10-year crusade in 1845 and at last secured pas- �- 2 - sage in 1855 of a permanent local school tax law that the concept of local taxsupported school districts in Illinois was firmly and permanently established." Recalling significant events in the educational picture in the U. s. from the mid-19th century to the present, Wilkins analyzes the reasons why the Federal government has been able to become so deeply and directly involved. Referring to the "explosion of knowledge" which has come about in recent years, he cites a report published by the National Education Association entitled "School for Sixties." The enormity of the problem of deciding what to teach, Wilkins says, is suggested in the NEA report by a proposition that accelerating growth in the accumulation of knowledge be plotted against a time line ranging from the birth of Christ to the present. The report states: "The first doubling of knowledge occurred in 1750, the second in 1900, the third in 1950, the fourth only 10 years later, in 1960, and the fifth will occur by 1968." evaluate the impact of Federal aid and communicate to the State and Federal governments our findings and offer leadership that will help shape and revise the present Federal programs. Through cooperation and communication, it still may be possible for us to receive Federal grants-in-aid rather than categorical assistance with 'marching orders' included!" (Editor's note: The above was taken from a speech made by Prof. Wilkins to the Egyptian Division of the . Illinois Association of School Boards last spring.) WHY SHOOT THE MOON? PROF. SHAW ANSWERS HIS OWN QUESTION "Why shoot the moon? Of course I mean, why go to the moon?" Prof. WILLIAM SHAW of the Science and Technology Division was talking to members of the Edwardsville branch of the American Association of University Women at their September meeting. "With a few digressions, I'll give first some reasons for not going, then some generally accept~d but not very good reasons for going, and finally what I believe to be excellent reasons why we must go. Emphasizing that it is this rapidly growing mass of knowledge which is making necessary better coordination of efforts of educators to deal with it at the local, county and state levels so that the entire field of education will not one day soon be centralized in Washington, Wilkins says we must re-examine our entire educational program and administrative structure in Illinois on the local level, the county level, and the state level. William Shaw "This is now being done by the task force appointed jointly by Governor Kerner and Superintendent of Public Instruction Page. We must provide a more comprehensive program that will meet the needs of all children, youth, and adults. "We must cooperate and work with the Federal and State governments. We must "Once the classic example of absurdity was to 'ask for the moon. 1 Today this is not so silly • • • • "Our moon is about 240,000 miles away. All other visible objects in the heavens are 10 to 10 billion billion times as far. The distance to the moon is only about 10 times around the earth. Astronauts do this--10 times around �- 3 - the earth--in 15 hours. • • • Our space program is the most gigantic nonmilitary enterprise ever undertaken by man. We are spending about five billion dollars each year on this. That's $13 million a day. Sounds like a lot, doesn't it? But let's get a little perspective on this by comparison with some of our other expenditures. Do you know how much we spend each day on tobacco? About 22 million dollars. On alcohol? About $30 million. On our military efforts? Over 200 million dollars each day. The space program costs each of us about seven cents a day--defense and military costs us each over one dollar per day. "This perspective may change the picture a little, but we still have good reason to ask 'Why shoot the moon?' "Some people think that we definitely should not. These range from those who are violently opposed to those who think it just isn't worth the effort and we should devote ourselves to more important things. Those most strongly opposed are some religious leaders. We've heard them on the radio and read reports in our news weeklies. They feel that we have no business 'up there.' That is God's territory. They compare our space efforts to the tower of Babel and predict dire consequences. These arguments would carry more weight had not every scientific advance since Galileo 1 s telescope been opposed for similar reasons. "Of course there are some opposed to space because it is of 'no earthly use. 1 In 1840 Senator Daniel Webster refused to vote one cent for the development of the West -- it was, to quote him, 'a howling wilderness that could never be of the slightest use to anybody. 1 "Others are opposed because they believe we should not be spending 'all that money,' or that it should be spent on something else, such as the poverty program, health research, or population control. Let me digress again a little to take these items one by one -- poverty, health and population. "When a feminine admirer poured some perf ume on Jesus Christ, the disciples protested saying the value could be better spent on the poor. Of course, you recall that Jesus didn't agree. The same argument has been used to oppose every enterprise for beautificatibn of our surroundings or for the expansion of human knowledge. Take, for instance, the St. Louis . ar.ch the Edwardsville campus. Would that money be better spent on the poor? or "Population control is indeed the biggest problem confronting the human race today. If the population growth continues at the present rate, a century from now the entire earth will be human flesh. Of course this is absurd and at least one of several things will happen before that time. These include: (1) group suicides resulting from the stress syndrome, as observed in over-crowded lemmings, whales, and rats. (2) a new potent virus or plague. (3) famine -- obviously the answer if one of these others doesn't take over. (4) war -- on a scale never known before and which could now conceivably solve the population problem for millions of years. (5) birth control. "Health research to cure cancer or the common cold is already hard put to hire enough medical doctors to conduct present programs. With the doctor population control they have imposed on their profession, private practice is much more lucrative. It might also be argued that the poverty program and health research only aggravate our most serious problem--that of population control. If more people starved and more died of disease we might not have the latter �- 4 problem. Some have suggested that going to the moon would solve the population problem. But a little calculation easily shows that this is not a good reason for going to the moon. play and which many of us enjoy. It is much better than war. Like an athletic contest, we can admire the feats of our competitor and can even congratulate him. And, unlike war, both of us can win. "The only sensible solution to the population problem is birth control, and if we do not use this answer one or more of the others will be automatically applied. But large sums of money are not required to apply this answer. The technological problems of birth control are practically solved. Those problems that remain are political and religious--and money alone won't help here. "But having people believe that this moon business is just a game to see who is first on the moon disturbs many of us. Some people think that it is just a big stunt, showing off, something that might help our prestige a little and that is all. If this were the only reason, it might be possible to persuade a fickle congress to pull back--only to be followed by a hysterical crash program the next time the Russians score some points. This blowing hot, then cold, can wreck the program or make it tremendously more expensive. "Let's study war just a little more. The causes of war are clear. One is the biological function of population control--mass murder--that it has served through the ages. But now on a large scale, war is mass suicide and is a little less attractive--except maybe in unhappy lands like China. Other, more obvious, reasons for war include conquest--that is to steal the land and wealth of another people, and to impose one group's culture, politics and religion on another. "These first three reasons for war may be briefly stated: (1) annihilation, (2) conquest, and (3) persuasion. They are not good reasons for starting a war today. The next three may be better -and now I'm getting back to my subject -~vhy Shoot the Moon? Please note that these reasons for war can also be satisfied by other means, such as the moon shot. These reasons include: (1) satisfaction of psychological needs for competition, excitement, adventure and danger; (2) to focus attention on a national goal to unify and solidify a nation; and (3) to stimulate the economy and provide productive activity in industry, education and research. "I have referred to the moon shot as a game, a contest, a race. Yes, it is this, and because of this it has been sold to Congress and the American public. I grant the validity of the idea of a game. It is the kind of game we should "Scientists working on government programs are justifiably frightened, wary and scared. The ~emory of the McCa~ thy era is still with us and the whimsiesl mass hirings and firings of engineers tn the 'SO's is well remembered by many. L~ss than th:r;~e per cent of congress today has any scientific background, and this include§ former medical doctors, dentists, d~uggists and a nurse. Eleven per cent of the signers of the Declara~ tion of Ind~pendence were scientists. "The race ~r game reason just isn't enough. Congress and the public must see that there are many much better reasons for shooting the moon. "Another regson sometimes given for shooting the moon is 'because it is there.' This phrase must have originated with some mountain climber. But it isn't gqoq enough,either. Should we go half way round the world to count the Qats in Zanzibar simply be.cause there are cats in Zanzibar? "The moon will be and already is .. -to some extent--a paying proposition. Let me tell you about a few of the pay-offs, and if you would know more I suggest this book, 'The Case for Going to the Moon 1 by Neil P. Ruzic, from which I got some of my mat,e rial �- 5 - for this talk. I shall discuss a few pay-offs to the astronomer, the physicist, the engineer, and industry, and then several to the general public. "Earthbound astronomy is limited to a few narrow bands of the spectrum by our atmosphere--an atmosphere which we think of as transparent but which is as opaque as coal in many parts of the spectrum. It also distorts, beclouds and causes images to flicker--call it twinkle if you like. Telescopes in space and on the stable airless moon will open new windows to, as yet unimagined , secrets of our universe. "Most research in physics is now done in a vacuum, and much at very low temperature. The equipment to attain even a fairly good vacuum here on earth is tremendously expensive, cumbersome, difficult to work with, and limited in volume. The vacuum on the moon is limitless and about 1000 times better than what we can attain here except by extreme measures. With this vacuum and the temperatures available, a laboratory on the moon would open up new avenues of research in solid state physics, plasma physics, super-conductivity and many branches of electronics. "Many metals and alloys can be prepared best in the absence of an atmosphere. The day will come--perhaps within our lifetimes--when many such materials will be shipped from moon to earth. "Since the moon is much smaller than earth--about one-eightieth--it cooled and solidified much quicker and its gravity is less. These are some reasons for believing that the heavy precious metals such as platinum, rhodium, gold and uranium ore are much more abundant near the surface of the moon. We will mine the moon. "But the main reason overriding all others is the technological transfer-call it by-products or fall-out, if you will--from the effort to attain that goal, the moon. All of you understand this, I know. You set out to attain a goal--a college diploma. You prize that piece of paper, but actually it is worthless in itself--as worthless as just getting a man on the moon. The real payoff is what we learn in attaining some set goal and where the momentum carries us after attaining it. "Already we are getting many by-products of the space effort. A few of these include: --better ··dry cells to operate your flash light, radio and kids' toys, andrechargeable batteries for your toothbrush and electric knife. These are the direct result of space research on packaging energy. --insecticides and plastics are much cheaper to manufacture as a result of space research. --medical instrumentation has taken tremendous strides in space research. Span you will wait for the doctor in a special chair .and he will have a complete record on your heart, blood pressure, etc., when you go into his office. --crippled people will soon have a 6legged wheel-less chair capable of climbing stairs and surmounting obstacles. "Government, business and industry, and education are beginning to reap benefits from two new techniques developed as a consequence of the complexity of the space program. One of these is called PERT -- P-E-R-T for Program Evaluation and Review Technique--a method of planning and proceeding on large scale complex enterprises. The other is reliability engineering. "I was fortunate to be selected as one to receive training in reliability engineering this summer. It is a mathematical technique for analyzing complex systems and anticipating and preventing failures. It is largely responsible for the reliability of our space missions to date. It is finding many applications in industry, �- 6 from cards to can openers. The long guarantees now possible on many products are the result of reliability engineering.

Drake's paper was entitled "Non-insured Employment and the Business Cycle," and Euring's was called "The Caste System of India and Its Economic Implications." Drake has conducted intensive research on the behavior of employment over the post-war business cycles. He has divided total employment in the economy into two groups, that of employment covered by unemployment insurance and employment not covered. His findings indicate that the cyclical behavior of the non-insured sector of employment demonstrate a distinctively different pattern from that followed by total employment and the insured sector of employment. • • • LOUIS DRAKE spoke last August 16 to the Greenville Kiwanis Club on "Money, Inflation, and Income." He outlined his views of the principal elements in the present inflation and presented the record of the Federal reserve system in its current efforts to restrict growth of the money supply. He summarized his talk by listing a series of phases through which attitudes toward economic growth, the level of employment and production, and the value of money have passed during the past two decades. Drake also prepared a note for the Metro-East Journal outlining "causes of the present inflation and what could be done about it." JOHN MAINS has been re-elected chairman of the Greater St. Louis Accounting Career Guidance Council, comprising delegates from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the National Association of Accountants, the American Accounting Association, the Financial Executives Institute and the Internal Auditors Association.

HASHIM! has been elected to a two-year term on the board of directors of the Missouri Economic Association. The election took place at the November 19-20 meetings held in Columbia. Hashimi served at the annual meeting as chairman of the session at �- 7 - which "Inside Stock Trading" was discussed. on February 5 he spoke to members of the International Relations Club at Carbondale on "Land Reform in Iraq." • • . On January 20 JOSEPH THORSON discussed President Johnson's peace offensive in Vietnam during his regular monthly appearance on WOKZ's Helen Hamer Walters Show. Thorson said he thought the offensive would not be successful but that it was an excellent strategic move on Johnson's part. The Chinese Communists will fight as long as they can, he said, to embarrass us abroad and to damage the poverty program in this country by forcing the U. S. to commit so much of its economic resources abroad. On the other hand, he believes the peace offensive strengthened our position in Asia because President Johnson's efforts let Asia and the world "know where we stand." • • • Speaking to the Sociology Club February 3 in Lovejoy Library, Thorson explained the issues and opinions of education on "Drafting of College Students and Campus Demonstrations." Thorson feels that not enough educators and administrators let students know exactly where they stand on "the most controversial issues of today--drafting and demonstrations. We ought to make it plainer that we do not consider one kind of behavior just as good as another." In mentioning the law signed August 30, 1965, stating that deliberate destruction of a draft card carries a maximum pena lty of five years in prison and a fine of $10,000 upon conviction, he reminded his audience that Lt. Gen. Hersey, head of the Selective Service system, says that of the 2,000,000 college students who are continuing their studies under student deferments, only one per cent of them have been involved in staging protest parades, burning draft cards, or other demonstrations of unwillingness to serve in the armed forces. On the subject of demonstrations, Thorson expressed his opinion that disagreement should be encouraged as part of the democratic process. "It should be maintained, encouraged, and preserved. However, those who demonstrate should bear in mind the consequences of their protests. Some restraint is desirable--lack of it may indicate a rebellious, wild, and unlawful attitude which could be used by an enemy. Hasty, irresponsible criticism is harmful, and can easily be misunderstood as a will of a majority!" Thorson pointed out that there is nothing new about students' demonstrations. What is new, he said, is the part professors are taking in these demonstrations. "This is a very unhealthy phenomenon. I question the wisdom of those professors, who, regardless of their pol~tical leanings, publicly support the ~ s.ttidents 1 cause, whatever it may be! Professors' public appearance changes the character of a demonstration; it gives much stronger stand to the demonstration and puts some label on the professor, whether he likes it or not • • • I am equally critical of professors taking part in political demonstrations and expressing their views on the foreign policies, in particular those who have little knowledge about foreign affairs. None of us, even those qualified to express their professional view, have a complete knowledge of what is going on. The newspapers are quite often misleading and they do not have first-hand and up-to-date information. Besides, it is impossible to publish a number of things because of security reasons. Thus, a professor should exercise restraint and good judgment while speaking publicly. • • . I might add that a professor should not forget that he is an educator, that he should be respected for his wisdom, guidance, knowledge, and impartiality!" EDUCATION DIVIS ION NE HS GEORGES. REUTER, JR., and GORDON BLISS attended the winter meeting of the Illinois Citizens Education Council at the University of Illinois' Chicago Circle Campus.

First submitted last fall to the Office of Economic Opportunity, the University's proposal is based on the collective experience of all departments in operating a 20,000-student university. It includes logistical tables for everything necessary, from buses to bedsheets, that would enable some 400 training center staff members to receive 2,000 young men, 16 to 22 years of age, and help them change their outlook on life and learn marketable skills. Interviewing of applicants for the 400 staff positions began March 1. The staff will receive and process 166 young men each month who have signed one-year contracts with the OEO representatives in their home communities and \vho will receive $50 per month to accrue \vhile they are in train- ing and $30 per month pocket money. Trainees must have an IQ of at least 90 and no record of convictions for felonies. Classes will be small, according to MacVicar, and grouped around a table in the dayroom of the living quarters. "Each instructor \vill have three basic responsibilities: develop reading, writing, arithmetic and speech skills, enhance basic cultural education and change the values, attitudes and definitions of the students which inhibit their development." Basic training, involving three hours of classroom and three hours of work experience each day, will continue as long as it takes the student to become ready for the next stage, that of learning a skill. His work details will be varied so he will have an insight into several skills and the opportunity to demonstrate his aptitude. Fh csc II will find him spending more time learning and practicing his skill. "At the end of ten months to a year the youth will be ready for graduation," MacVicar said. "He will find a place in the large culture commonly called the 'American Society' and will have lost his identity with the 'culture of poverty. 1 He will have a skill, a job, and a new orientation to the problems he will face throughout his lifetime. "Our proposal is not visionary and impractical. He realize that attain- �- 2 - ment of the objectives of the training center will be difficult, but certainly not impossible. The methodology remains to be discovered. The process requires the development of a theory, the test of it by experiment, and the revision of the theory to fit the experimental product, just as in any other scientific enterprise. 11 The two banks of beige v ending machines will include soups, entrees, hot and cold sandwiches, salads, desserts, coffee, ice cream, pastry, cold beverages, milk, candy, and such miscellaneous items as potato chips. When the University Center is complete, these vending machines will be moved to a snack bar in the center and to other new buildings on campus. PROGRESS REPORT ON NEH CAMPUS A complex underground utilities distribution system is virtually complete and an appreciable amount of the entrance road is installe.d. b4.t .c.ompletion is delayed because of weather. In the spring, the first portion of the road system will be finished, with a parking area for 2,200 cars and general academic area grading and walk system. Planting of trees and shrubs must await the fall planting season so the initial setting on occupancy will be somewhat austere, Randall said. For reasons of economy, plants will be small and immature. July 15 is circled on the SIU Architect's Office calendar for completion of two of the Edwardsville Campus buildings. They are the John Hason Peck Classroom and Faculty Office Building and the Elijah P. Lovejoy Memorial Library. In a progress report on construction at the new campus, JOHN RANDALL, associate university architect, said that by the beginning of the fall term next September part of the Science Laboratory Building "l.vill be ready for use. The Communications Building, with its theater and broadcasting facilities, will be complete in the spring of 1966. The University Center, which will include meeting rooms, lounges, a bookstore, recreation areas, and a cafeteria, will not be ready, he said, until the fall of 1966. With an estimated 5,100 attending classes at Edwardsville next fall, it will be imperative to have on campus facilities for eating and temporary dining accommodations will be made available through a vending operation in the library basement. The ordinary vending machine would not do, Randall said, because university administrators believe student should have wholesome, well-balanced meals and that the eating climate should be pleasant, one which would allow conversational intercourse between students and faculty. A seating area for 346 people will be decorated with coach lanterns and an eight-foot, floor-to-ceiling screen with inserts of randomly-spaced color blocks to separate the dining and serv ice areas. Other projects under construction include a heating and refrigeration plant and the adjoining 88-acre lake which will serve in lieu of cooling towers for the furnishing of air conditioning to all academic facilities. A 500,000gallon water tm.;rer, a 350, 000-gallon clear water reservoir and related water supply facilities are in progress. The sewage treatment plant is nearing completion. Installation of extensive services for gas, electricity and telephone are in progress by several utility companies. Because of the emphasis on evening instruction, a significant start on general outside lighting will be ready by fall. Currently the Peck Classroom Building and the Lovejoy Memorial Library give the best picture of future campus character, Randall said. 11 The deep plum brick towers enclosing mechanical facilities and circulation are complete except for cleaning, which must await spring. Most of the quartz aggregate faced precast aggregate panels, with their variegated off-white to plum �- 3 - stones, express the functioning academic spaces and much of the glass, which is gray to reduce glare, is in place in offices, entrances and corridors. Hhile the floors, each of approximately 10,000 square feet of space for the flexible classrooms, novJ appear to be great halls, ceilingsand plastering are progressing and movable partitions will be installed this spring." The heavy reinforced concrete structural work of the Communications Building and the University Center is rising ab'ove the ground, all of the heavy concrete caissons having been completed last December. Besides the extensive underground utilities system, the most important caissons which extend about 80 feet through the poor soil are not apparent to the observer. "These piers, of two and one-half to five feet in diameter, have been constructed under very difficult circumstances and are a significant reason for the buildings not being more advanced," Randall said. Terracing will be done this spring. Hith their exposed rocl~ surfaces and extensive plantings, the terraces will have benches and will p~ovide a pleasant environmental. ·s et.t ing not only for the buildings but for informal gatherings as well. Erection of this 500,000 gallon water tower, which began in December, ~vas cause of much comment. At one point it resembled a rocket and later an over-sized golf tee (some even referred to it as a huge champagne glass). Contract for the tower went to Chicago Bridge and Iron Co. for $187,450. Tragedy marred the tower 1 s erection January 26 when a steeh;orker fell 80 feet to his death. �- 4 CREDIT UNION ELECTS OFFICERS SID's Edwardsville Campus Credit Union, now in its sixth year, elected officers on February 13: D. W. Wilton, assistant director of admissions, president; GUS PLATZ, paint foreman, vice president; JOE SMALL, associate professor in the Business Division, treasurer; and DAVID RANDS, associate professor in the Science and Technology Division, secretary. Elected to the board of directors were HILLIAM SHAW, WILLIAN PROBST, ROBERT ECKLES, JERRY BIRDMAN, GORDON WOOD, KENNETH LOWE, and WILLIAM SPINK. In September 1959, several newly-arriving staff members needed funds to tide them over until the October paychecks arrived. Legally the University could not advance money against paychecks so the Falcon Investment Club offered to lend up to $50 for 30 days at a cost of $1. As a result of this situation, some Falcon Club members decided to investigate the possibility of organizing a credit union at the Edwardsville Campus. The Falcon Club had been organized in 1958 by East St. Louis Center staff members who ~·Tanted to supplement their incomes and learn something about investments. The necessary forms were obtained and with University approval, the Credit Union was officially chartered October 28, 1959. Of the nine charter members, six still remain on the SIU staff: H. H. SMITH, JAMES TURNER (now at Carbondale), Small, FLORENCE FANNING, S. D. LOVELL and NEDRA REAMES. The other members were Robert McDaniel, Milton Byrd and Beverly Kitching. Smith was the first president and Lovell the first vice president. Small has continued to serve as treasurer. At the end of 1960 there were 64 members and assets amounted to $4,914. Today there are 257 members and total assets of $120,000.

LOSES NOMINATION AT APO CONVENTION WARREN STOOKEY, alumni and SIU Foundation field representativ e , was in Denver, Colorado, December 27-30 for the national convention of Alpha Phi Omega, which was held at the Brown Palace. He served on the program committee. Chairman of Section 16, which includes APO chapters in southern Illinois and eastern Missouri, Stookey was nominated for a plac e on the national executive board. He chuckles over his defeat. . • . Stookey was in Chicago early in December for the annual District V conference of the American Alumni Council. Also attending the AAC conference was MILDRED ARNOLD, a quarter-time employee of the Alumni Office. BUSINESS DIVIS ION NEWS WALTER BLACKLEDGE attended the annual convention of the American Economic Association and Allied Sciences which met December 28~30 in the Conrad Hilton ··. . . .... .. Hotel in Chicago. . .~ . On February 1, HAROLD CUTRIGHT and JOSEPH THORSON talked to the Alton Rotary Club about "The Kremlin and Washington." Both men said the prestige of the United States in Europe is low. "However, on the economic front, there are signs that new economic thought is shaping up throughout Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union," Thorson said. " bore often now, Lenin 1 is quoted in the Soviet press: Be able if necessary to learn from the capitalists. Adopt whatever they have that is sensible and advantageous. 1 "The radical change in economic thinking of the Soviet bloc is bringing to these nations creeping 1 capitalism 1 - a trend toward a profit-motivated market economy. And there are signs that the Red-bloc nations in Eastern Europe are only too ~villing to follow suit." Cutright emphasized the importance and growth of such satellite nations as Poland, Czechoslovakia, and East Germany and said their relations with Russia are more important than Washington realizes. Thorson was captured by the Russians in 1939, tortured by the NKVD and was later sent to Siberia. When Hitler attacked the Soviets, Thorson was released and he served as secretary to the ccnsu l general in Moscow and Kuibyshev when the Germans "were right �- Gin Stalin's backyard. I know them only too well. They were the ones, not the Germans, who killed over 10,000 Polish officers at the Katyn Forest." Cutright said he had met most of the present hierarchy of Soviet leaders and that he believed they really meant peace. "You can see why. THice in my lifetime the Germans have attacked them and cut them into little pieces." Thorson said he feels that, in the long run, political considerations will force the Russians to become an ally of the United States against China. A former Polish and British Army officer, diplomat and management consultant, Thorson is associate professor of international economics and management at SIU. Both he and Cutright, visiting professor of management at SIU and president of Glengayle Associates, New York consulting engineers, have traveled widely in Russia. . . • Cutright was principal speaker January 21 at the Granite City Jaycees annual bosses night. . • .

His talk dealt with characteristics of the socalled new mathematics and with parental attitudes toward this innovation. EDUCATION DIVIS ION NEHS "A Perceptual Approach to Learning and Behavior" was the topic discussed by DANIEL SOPER February L, as part of a visiting lecturer series at the Logopedic Institute, Hichita, Kansas. Soper met with the faculty of the College of Education·,. 1;'r{thita State University, on February 5 to discuss "Research Implications of Perceptual Theory." . • • "A Rationale For Interviewing Parents" by HANFORD SONSTEGARD appeared in the December issue of The School Counselor. Counseling the parent, he wrote, may be characterized by four distinct steps. "First the counselor has to establish a proper relationship with the parent. Next, he has to understand the parent and his problem. After the counselor understands the problem, he must help the parent understand himself and his interaction with the child. The last step involves reorientation of the parent. 11 In his article Sonstegard gives a suggested 10-part outline to ascertain significant facts about the parentchild rP.lationships. However, he warns that rigid adherence to a form would result in a merely mechanical interview~ "devoid of the subtlety through which the counselor discovers the nature of the interpersonal relationships existing between parents and child." Even though the counselor must establish a good relationship with the parent during an interview, Sonstegard says he should not take for granted the statements made in answer to the question, "lvhat is being done about it (the behavior)?" He illustrated his point by citing the case of the mother who ~vas asl~ed what she did about her child's ter.tper tantrums. "I ignore them," the mother said. Hhen the �- 7 - interviewer asked her vJhat she meant by ignoring them, the mother replied, "I make him get up from the floor and go to his room." This, of course, could hardly be called ignoring, Sonstegard points out. The counselor would have been misled had he accepted without question the mother's first explanation." On February 16 Sonstegard spoke at the United Church of Christ in Hood River on "Cultural Change in the Guidance of Children." On February 23 he spoke at North Junior High School, Collinsville, to a group of parents >vho will be serving as counselors. The group meets once a Heek for open discussion Hith each other on mutual problems encountered and to receive counsel from each other and from Sonstegard. . . .

In his article Steinkellner sets forth 18 points for which he feels the elementary school is morally responsible to offer experiences which will make the child m·J are of many things. "Wis do m is something the older generation cannot rightfully expect from their youn[;," he writes, "for so few of us, the aged, have won wisdom. Hisdom is something the public should not expect the child to attain during his brief attendance in the public school." The first responsibility he lists is the need to take inventory of the individual's talents and then encourage that individual to assume the responsibility to develop his talents to 11 their fullest fruition for the good of self, society, and spirit." Steinl~ellner writes about the obvious influence of the teacher and �- 0 - reminds the reader of the value of wellspent time. "Remember the 'quality' in which you spend a minute. One cannot buy a minute or sell it. A minute is priceless. It is time enough to thank a man or a woman for a kindness, to help a fellowman, or to ask God for forgiveness for wasting the hours and days of our lives. An educated man learns to value time, and he uses today. How many of us reject today, and fondly look upon the distant promise of an unassured tomorrow?" GEORGE HILKINS spoke to the Optimists Club of Granite City January lL; on "Future Shape of Education." On January 19 he addressed the superintendents and assistant superintendents from 40 counties in the southern half of Illinois on the recommendations and report of the Eighth School Problems Commission, of which he is a member. After his speech, he answered questions for an hour. The meeting was held at Augustine's Restaurant in Belleville. On February 8, Hilk ins addressed the Cahokia High School counselors and social studies teachers on the evaluation and the new implementation of Title III of the National Defense Education Act. He also discussed new proposed state and federal compensatory education legislation. In his talk he pointed out that Title III is being expanded from the three cateeories of mathematics, foreign language and science to cover five other areas: English, reading, history, geography and civics. He said that there had been a compensatory education bill introduced in the state legislature with an appropriation of 27 million dollars which 11 is almost identical to the national compensatory education legislation." • • .

If there is someone you would like to see featured, please let us know. We are startin~ with CHARLES BUTLER, secretary to President Morris and 3eneral manager of the central office at Edwardsville. A native of Harrisbur~, Butler went to work in Chicago for the U. S. Treasury Department after hi~h school graduation and later was associated with IBM in the Merchandise Mart. From 1944 to 1946 he was with Uncle Sam's Navy, spending some time on Guam as a yeoman 2d class. After the war he enrolled in SIU at Carbondale and durin ~ his college days was a student worker in the President's Office. After graduation in August 1950 he accepted a full-time assi gnment with President Morris. In July 1960 he carne to the Edwardsville Campus and since December of that year has been located in the President's Office on Lewis Road. An avid reader and sports fan, Mr. Butler has read enou :::;l1 books that end to end would extend for hundreds of miles, and he has traveled almost that much to see sports events. We would not hazard a :::;uess on the sports miles he has traveled via television. His other hobbies include coin and stamp collecting . He buys blocks of every new stamp and has been known to buy as much as $300 in dimes in order to look for one of a certain mint. Charles Butler Charles Butler doesn't do thin gs half-heartedly. He ~ ives full measure to his job and his hobbies; since he is a bachelor, he has time for both. And under that sometime brusque manner there is a heart of ~ old (or a silver or copper coin), as his friends will attest. �SOUTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY/EDWARDSVILLE, ILLINOIS f INFOR~~-T~ON SERVIC~ � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

DENE SOUTHWOOD was named head of the Education Division at the May meeting of the SIU board of trustees. Southwood has served as acting head of the division during the sabbatical leave and the subsequent appointment of CAMERON MEREDITH as head of H. Dene South~:·lOod For a number of years, the Division of University Extension at Carbondale has offered a program of credit courses, on-campus institute workshop programs, and a campus conference program, all oriented to the Carbondale campus and its area. A similar program has been set up on the Ed,vardsville campus to serve this region. The program will be directed by CLIFTON CORN1.JELL, whose appointment as assistant dean of Uni- �- 2 versity Extension was confirmed at the Hay meeting of the SIU board of trustees. Cornwell has been a member of the Fine Arts Division since January of 1958. Before coming to SIU he w·as office manager and sales representative for A. S. Aloe Company of St. Louis for six years. From 1947 to 1949 he taught at the University of Hawaii and later \vas director of forensics at the University of Missouri.

HOH EGYFT GOT ITS NAME by J ohn W. Allen Southern Illinoisans readily agree t hat there i s an "Egyp; '·" or as s orne woul d say, " Little Egypt.'' · All are not agreed, however, upon the northern limit of the territor y to be included. Chairman of commencement arrangements, he has also served as coordinator of the Special Speakers and Meetings Committee, as chairman of the Mass Communications Committee, and he represented the Fine Arts Division on the Committee for Educational Planning of the New Campus at Edwardsville. The ne\v office is an outgrowth of several months of planning and surveying of needs conducted by CormJell and Dean Raymond Dey, head of the University's Extension Division, whose office is in Carbondale. The Edwardsville campus facilities, both those presently available and the newlyconstructed buildings to be opened in September, will serve a rapidly expanding schedule of local and regional conferences, institutes, and workshops which are directly related to campus academic programs. In addition, the division ·will serve as a coordinating agency in ·instances when campus facilities are made available to local, regional, and state organizations, community groups, and associations for conferences and conv entions. vJith a base at Ed,vardsville, the offcampus credit course programs of the University will be extended to regions \vhich could not be served previously by the Carbondale campus. The initial extension course offering, a course in John H. Allen Some woul d i nclude t he porti on l y ing south of the Baltimore and Ohio Rai lr oad. Other s would include only the territory lying south of an east-\vest line along �- 3 - the northern borders of :fuite, Hamilton, Franklin, Perry and Randolph counties. The more enthusiastic "Egyptians" would have the northern boundary correspond to the parallel of 39 degrees north latitude, just north of Vandalia. All are agreed, however, that "Egypt" begins at the southern tip of the state and does a fade mvay along a nebulous line that crosses the state from east to west somewhere betHeen 60 and 125 miles north of Cairo. Having decided that there is an "Egypt," northern limits not definitely fixed, an explanation for the unusual name is due. Some say it was named because it had a Karnak, a Thebes and a Cairo. This, hoHever, is not the explanation. Of the three toHns named, only that of Cairo was used in Illinois before "Egypt" came, and the name of Cairo Has only on paper, there being no town at the confluence of the rivers (Mississippi and Ohio) until after the regicn definitely received its nickname. Karnak and Thebes Here not named until some years later after the name of "Egypt 11 had been given to the re~ion. Hence, this explanation will not hold. The best account of the manner in Hhich the name came to be applied to southern Illinois is in an article written by Judge A. D. Duff that first appeared in the ShawneetoHn Gazette. This story Has copied from the Gazette by the Galconda Herald in the late 1860's. Judge Duff's story is also supported by tradition and by knmvn historical facts. The explanation Judge Duff offers is undoubtedly the most reliable one. The incidents leading to the name of "Egypt," according to Judge Duff's account, began with the winter of 1830-31. This was the "winter of the deep snov1." It Has the longest and most severe winter that the residents of Illinois had knoHn. Snmv came early that "'inter, reached a depth of about three feet and remained until late in the sprin~ of 1831. Severe frosts continued until May of that year. Judge Duff says it was a 11 very backward spring." The sumr.1er 11<:ts extremely cool and killing frost came on September 10, 1831. The growin~ season was thus extremely short. The late spring of 1831 delayed the planting of corn. The early frost killed nearly all that had been planted in the northern counties. Only in the section of the state lying south of an east-Hest line approximately at the latitude of Benton in Franklin County did the crop properly mature. The farmers living north of this line were almost without exception forced to seek elsewhere for corn for their livestock and for cornmeal, then the staple breadstuff. Judge Duff, a boy living beside a main north-south high1·1ay in Bond County in the spring of 1832, told of seeing many groups of wagons· g6:l.ng south for corn and returning Hith the treasured grain. Some stopped at the Duff home. Many of these farmers Here Bible readers and often remarked that they, like the sons of Jacob, were "going to Egypt for corn." The designation of the southern counties of Illinois as "Egypt" thus came into use. By Judge Duff's account the term Has not used before the spring of 1832, but having once been given to the territory it rapidly came into general use and soon became a fixed and Hellknown name. In recent years the name of "Egypt" has occasionally been used in a somewhat derogatory 1vay. Its origin and early use carried no stigma. In fact, it was worn then with a reasonable pride. Editor's Note: Those of you Hho are interested in Illinois folklore have read Mr. Allen's column, "It Happened in Southern Illinois" which appears in area neHspapers. Mr. Allen's book, Legends and Lore of Southern Illinois,Has published · in 1963 by the Division of Area Services. A tireless searcher through the past, he is working on a second volume. John Allen has been a rail splitter, a building estimator, a foreman, superintendent of construction, breaker and trainer of horses, referee of prize fights, and sparring partner of Gene Tunney, substitute preacher, and a teacher. He joined the SIU staff in 1942 to collect a �- museum of handicrafts, implements, and home arts of early times. At retirement age in 1956 he was given an emeritus title. He is anything but retired. Besides meeting his weekly deadline for 11 It Happened in Southern Illinois," he is kept busy as a dinner speaker, and recently solved the transportation problem involved in traveling about the state on the lecture circuit by buying a camp trailer for his car. Born in a log cabin in Broughton, Mr. Allen has eaten with hobos, had tea in Hindsor Castle, and once sat by the fireside in Lady Astor's home listening to Rudyard Kipling tell stories. He has kissed the Blarney Stone, and from the top of a column at the Royal Art Gallery he watched a parade in Trafalgar Square as the Germans signed the peace treaty at Versailles. But 1vith all his travel and rubbing elbows with royalty, John Allen considers himself a provincial person, and it is southern Illinois and its people that continue to capture his interest and enthusiasm. HHAT IS THE GOAL OF THE USSR AND HHAT THE USA IS DOING ABOUT IT by Joseph M. Thorson The Russian revolution of 1917 brought communism into the picture. The main goal of the oommunist doctrine at that time was to overturn the capitalistic system and to introduce all over the Horld the Marxists society. Has this goal changed since 1917? No. I do not think so. The goal has not changed, but the strategy has. Russia is still committed to v-10rld domination by every means at its disposal. But, those means have been modified. (1) The Soviet Union feels that it can no longer conquer the world by creation of Hars like Korea-it is too risky, because it may lead eventually to Horld War III which the USSR is trying to avoid at all cost. It uill, however, encourage and help countries which would like to overturn democratic l:. - or right-uin[; dictatorial regimes and install the Socialist regime. (2) As in the past, the Soviet government is deteroined to overtake the U.S. industrially and economically, and to demonstrate that communism is better than capitalism. Therefore, it is evident that the Soviet Union is challenged by: (a) nationalism among foreign Reds (b) the rise of Peking as a rival pow:e.r, ..ai\.9. (c) internal unrest which is demonstrated by continuous demand of better standard of living and more consumer goods had to chance its strategy. l·J hat they once felt they could do in 25 years, they have stretched to 100 years or more, but their basic goal remained unchanged--that is, world domination. I might add, that the Soviet Union, like any other country of the globe, is subjected to continuous challenge from opposing internal political and social groups. Khrushchev, and after his departure Kosygin and Drezhnev, are opposed by the military faction of the USSR which is demandin13 a hard line toward the U.S. and the Free Horld, and more expenditures for military hard-.:-wre at the expense of the consumer. This group, hmvever, presents a continuous threat to the peaceful coexistence policy of its present leaders. Changes in the communist world since the death of Stalin in 1953 are important for American policy. But how important? Here, Hestern experts on the communist lvorld are in wide disagreement. There are various views. I myself, see these changes in the following light: (1) There is more continuity than change in the Soviet develop- �- 5 - (2) ment of the past ten years--there is no change in Russia's basic hostility to the Uest. give in, trade or not trade? Isolate ourselves, or adopt the "coexistence" doctrine in full? The basic institutions of the totalitarian rule have not been modified. Yet, we have to admit that Khrushchev corrected some of the gross abuses of the Stalinist period. There is no clear-cut answer to all these questions. Nevertheless, the Soviet Union challenge has to be met head-on, that is: (3) The peaceful coexistence so much advocated by the Soviet leaders is a mere Soviet tactical device in the struggle for world domination. (4) The most not~ble change since Stalin's death has been the decline in the role of ideology. This is evident in: (1) We have to recognize the fact that the heart of the capitalistic system is free competition and, therefore, we cannot run out on the competitive challenge from the Soviet leaders. (2) I feel that limited accommodation between ·East· arid West can benefit both sides equally and should be pursued. American initiatives should be framed with a view to exploiting the strains in the communist alliance. For instance, we should encourage the split of China with the Soviet Union -this is one of the most important factors that both sides can benefit on. However, we have to take care that our policy '"ould not become that of appeasement toward Russia, which could be disastrous to us. The "hard" line of President Johnson in South Vietnam should be characterized by a flexible foreign policy toward the allies and the enemies. (3) I am a strong believer in expanding trade ~vith the communist world, though not on strategic items. A rising standard of living will deter Russia from pursuing an aggressive expansionist foreign policy. (4) The U.S. should pursue the policy of e=:panding Peace Corps activities in foreign lands--this is one of the best '"eapons '"e have at our disposal. Peace Corps activities are the best deterrent against communist infiltration. The hungry, illiterate, barefoot, and homeless huQan being is leaning (a) Soviet recognition that war is not inevitable, (b) Their acceptance of neutralisQ, and (c) The recognition by economic planners that the capitalistic profit motive in industry is something to be reckoned ~ith. (5) For the first time since the Soviet Revolution social pressures are beginning to COQe into collision with policy. This is a result of the industrialization which created special interest groups like the party workers, the military, the scientists, the industrial managers, etc. The interest of thes e groups in overall is not much different from the groups in the U.S. s ociety. How much to produce and what to produce, is becoming a center of an argument and controversy. The allocation of resources (e.g. how much for butter and how much for sputniks) is the best example. The emergence of these pressure forces is one of the most iQportant internal developments which undoubtedly ~vill be felt in the economy of Russia from now on. I have crudely presented the modified goal of the USSR as I see it today. Now, how we should deal with the coQQunist world? fight, �- 6 toward any propaganda which promises him a "chan~e." For instance, SHeden practically has no communism (3.8%), because her standard of living is very high, and the people have no desire for chan~e. (5) The fight a~ainst poverty in the U.S. must be a part of an overall pro~r~ to stop communist advances into our land. Communism has the best ground to operate in the lands where there is poverty, illiteracy, corruption, social injustice and widespread discontent. The underdeveloped nations of Asia, Africa and South America are the best areas for the Marxists' propaganda.

The article deals with the high school student's utilization of his business training to obtain a spot in the ever-tightening employment market and using such training as a springboard to advancing to a higher position. An article by the Blackledges was used in the Phi Beta Lambda Newsletter, a publication sponsored by a department of the National Education Association. Entitled, "Today --25 Million Office Jobs; Tomorrow-7 Million More," the article was published originally in December, 1963, in the Journal of Business Education. The article concerned current statistics in the field of office employment, with extensive research toward the economic forecast of the profession.

Speaking on the Viet lJam situation, Cutright said the solution lies in welcoming Communist China into the United Nations and opening trade with her. However, he asserted, "the insecurity and the illusion of grandeur and the omnipotence of the Johnson administration makes it highly unlikely that this Hill be the course followed." �- 7 - Cutright was critical of administration policy as well as "its quarrel with the professors over Viet Nam." His reference was directed to widely-reported speeches and debates on the Viet Nam question on college campuses and Secretary of State Rusk's comment about "the gullibility of educated men." Unfortunately, the SIU visiting professor said, our foreign policy is in the hands of a President "w·hos e immrd compulsion is so great he must \vin at all costs, and for whom criticism, no matter in what form or how abstract, is taken as a personal reflection on his integrity and ability. At this time when history seems to be at a great turning point, our leaders think only of hoH much we love and appreciate them, and more importantly, whether \ve will vote for them come the next election." Cutright, who still operates his management consulting firm in Ne~;1 York and St. Louis, believes the Viet Nam problem can be solved, but not by bullets or bombs. "We should move to bring China into the world of nations," he said, "open trade with her, and if necessary develop a unilateral treaty with her, to produce a balance of power against the Soviet Union." There is trouble bet\veen Russia and China, he went on to say, because of the "vast difference in the heritage of the two nations. For example, in China, after several centuries Christianity has made very little headHay. But in the Soviet Union i t still has deep roots among the people after a determined effort on the part of the government to stamp it out." • ANN SCHWIER has received notice that she \vill be listed again in Hho 1 s \vho of American vlomen.

"It is a question \vhether those changes signify a movement tmvard a free market and a profit-conscious economy. Are the changes temporary .or .. pe:rmanent? 11 In his article he attempts to provide some of the answers. "My fairly long and at times unpleasant experience \vith the Soviet people permits me to analyze their economy with a certain amount of perspective in depth. There is no doubt that the \vorld in \vhich we are living has gone through many changes in the last 25 years. The radical 'left' and radial 'right' have mellowed considerably. As a result, both sides are drawing closer to the center, sharing some of the ideas of the opposite systems. Not many political quarters are ready and willing to admit the changes in a capitalistic direction, on the one side, nor, on the other, in a socialist direction." • • .

Dodds described the administrative operation in Edwardsville, stressing the role each person plays and criteria used in selecting individuals for the various assignments. He emphasized that the superintendent should not be burdened with the minutia of day-to-day operation if the board expects him to provide the educational leadership required in a quality school program. Wilkins pointed out changes that were taking place in administration procedures brought about by reorganization which had vastly increased the size of the administrative staff serving the local school districts. He said that one innovation being provided in school districts with 5,000 or more enrollment was procuring �- 9 a public relations director whose task w·as that of keeping the public informed of the implementation of the total educational program. "We now have roughly 30 names applied to assistant administrators and supervisors serving under the local superintendent," he said. His main emphasis was placed, as he termed it, "on the number one problem in Illinois--the need for a state board of education and an appointive superintendent of public instruction by the state board. The two major functions and roles of the state department are leadership and regulation--the first to help the people help themselves by providing expert professional and technical services and second, to see that the will of the state is carried out. • .

"Hence, the critical stand- ards for films should be different than those used for paintings and novels," he said. "The most fruitful way to approach films," he continued, "is not as translations but as objects in their own right and to compare films to films." His argument, he said, was based on an analysis of immediate experience as follows: 11 Thc characteristics of the motion picture experience are verifiable by anyone who reflects upon his perceptions.

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.

' 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 At a meeting of the Missouri Economic Association at the University of Missouri November 19 -2 0 RASOOL HASHIM!, associate professor of economics, was elected to a two-year term as director.

In their artic le t hey explain the importance of every individual's knowing the principles of acquiring residence or a home as economically as possible. In addition they also point out some basic techniques for disposing of a house if the owner should find need to sell. The Dart- �- 7 - nell Corporation, a publishing firm of long standing in the business of books and films for use primarily in business and education, will publish a booklet written by the Blackledges. Scheduled for publication this spring, the booklet is tentatively entitl ed 11 Eleven Steps to Successful Supervision of Women. 11 Part of the material was reviewed March 5, 1965, by Sylvia Porter in her nationally syndicated column and was published in 331 newspapers in the United States and Canada. This new project concerning supervision of women will be placed in the Executive Series published by Dartnell. The Blackledges plan to do additional basic research on various parts of the spectrum of women entering the employment market in steadily increasing numbers, which has created 11 many new and interesting facets to the whole field of personnel and employment, 11 according to the SIU authors.

HO\.JARD DAVIS DOES STUDY OF MASTER'S DEGREE GRADUATES HO\vARD DAVIS, professor of ed ucation, has completed a study on master's degree graduates from the Edwardsv ille campus. The first study in wha t is planned to be an annual survey of the mas ter's degree graduates was desi ~ ned t o aid in eva luation of the training pro.c;ram for th e master's de;;ree "by attemptin g to learn ,.Jhat form er graduates think of the program as they experienced it. 11 Former students appraised the program in terms of its . effectiveness in preparing them for the experiences they have had in the field. Questionnaires were sent to 378 persons and 315 responded. In summarizing his study, Davis listed nine points revealed by the study: 1) The number of male graduates exceeded the number of females by a ratio of 2 to 1; 2) the greatest number of graduates came from Illinois and remained to work as public $CllQQl ,educators in Illinois; 3) the ty~ical graduate was 33 years of age, married to a spouse who had taken additional educational work beyond high school, was employed full-time with a yearly income of approximately $8,000, which had been increased as a result of his being awarded a master's degree; lf) the greatest number of master's degrees Here a>varded \vith majors in guidance, educational administration and supervision, secondary education, and elementary education; 5) the master's degree appeared to be a terminal degree for the majority of respondents; 6) the typical graduate waited four years before starting his graduate work, but there was some evidence that this time was being shortened; 7) respondents tended to remain v1ith their prior employment and were sati s fied with it; 8) graduates were pleased Hith all aspects of their graduate program, would again choose to attend the EdvTardsville campus, and •wuld recommend it to their friends and acquaintances; 9) graduates primarily chose the Edwardsville campus because it was near their homes and because of low tuition and fees.

UNIVERSITY ACQUIRES RODIN 1 S HALKING MAN The most significant sculptor of his time, the French sculptor had a strong influence on sculpture in the early 20th century. BUSINESS DIVISION Nm 7S Illinois has been a pivotal state in winning more equitable property tax assessment for railroads, LEO COHEN told the annual conference of the National Tax Association meetin~ in New Orleans early in November. Cohen said it is apparent that d the monumental achievements in Illinois are affecting the situation in other states, although complete victory is far from won in many states, especially Arkansas, West Virginia and Hyoming." He cited a number of Illinois Supreme Court cases decided in favor of railroads which had claimed excessive or discriminatroy assessments. In most cases, the courts have held that railroad property was overvalued by the assessors, or that rates on railroad operating property were not equalized with local property rates. In the skylighted three-story well in the Elijah P. Lovejoy Memorial Library stands Rodin 1 s ''The I·Jo. lking Han. 11 Francois Augucte Rene Rodin uas born in Paris in November of 1840 and lived until the same month in 1917. His early training was received at the Petite-Ecole du Dessin and the Gobelius school. Rodin's long, controversial career be gan in 1864 with the Salon's rejection of his sculpture, "Han with a Broken Nose. 1 1 In 187 5 he went to Italy, where Hichelangelo's tortured, unfinished shapes emer g ing from rough marble blocks affected Rodin' s own style. Hith the acceptance of his "Age of Bronze" in 1877, Rodin's work be gan to be recognized and preserved in the Rodin Huseum in Paris. "Hhere markets are reasonably perfect, such as the securities market, pricing or valuation is a simple procedure of using market quotations," Cohen stated in his paper. 11 hany difficult problems arise in valuating certain types of properties, such as major industrial concerns and public utilitiec, which rarely exchange in the market. "The valuation of all types of property is a very technical business which requires well-qualified, honest personnel , " he said. "This is also crucial when one recognizes the dependence the cour ts place on the role of the assessors, including the so-called judg ment factor . . . . And especially is this important in ascertaining values, where mathematical certainty is not po s sible, but competency is of the essenc e . 1 ' �- 6 . . . At the fall conference of the Illinois Business Education Association held in Springfield November 4-5 a research bulletin edited by MARY M. BRADY was dis tributed. Contributors to the bulletin, containing analyses and abstracts of recent research in the area of business education, included Miss Brady and ELISE PALMER. Miss Brady is chairman of the Publications Committee for the IBEA. At the conference JACK COFFEY served as chairman of the section on "How to Provide for Individual Differences in Basic Business, Personal Finance, and Economic Education."

Her s tucly, "Development and Evaluation of MultipleChannel Dictation Tapes in Beginning Shorthand Classes," was one of 14 selected in the United States to be submitted for the Delta Pi Epsilon Elise Palmer award for outstanding research in business education. Another recent publication of Mrs. Palmer's, "Significant Research Findinr:;s in Shorthand and Transcription," appeared in the Illinois Business Education Association publication, Si~­ nificant Research in Business Education. This article was based on a speech g iven by her at the IBEA meeting of the 36th Annual Illinois Vocational Association Convention. . . . Two articles by JOSEPH M. THORSON have been accepted for publication. They are "Pricing in Foreign Trade in the Soviet-Type Economies" \vhich will appear in the spring issue of Busine s s Horizons, and "Poland 1 s International Trade, l9Lf6-63," >vhich Hill appear in the December issue of the American Economist, International Section. The latter article, an abstract from his doctoral di ss ertation, uses Poland as a point of illustration in examining some problems in foreign trade pricing . �- 7 - "There seems to be some validj.ty to the slogan of 'Polish trade offensive,'" says Thorson. "The international trade of Poland has been growing steadily in recent years. As far as its geography is concerned, Poland's foreign trade continues to be a highly concentrated affair. As much· as 61.0 per cent of the export and 61.2 per cent of import concluded by Poland in 1964 was with the Soviet-bloc nations. Hence, only 39 per cent of export and 33.8 per cent of import of Poland finds its way at present outside of the Communist camp. "It is worthy of note that Poland has of late been expanding its trade with nonCommunist countries somewhat more actively than its trade inside the bloc. During the 1963-64 period her trade turnover with the Industrial Best increased from about $950 million in 1963 to over $1 billion in 1964, and the newly-developing countries from $223 million in 1963 to $272 million in 1964. "Poland has traditional trade relations with the West. She needs trade for a number of reasons: (a) The West is a producer of a very high quality of goods not available on the CEMA market, but badly needed for industrialization; (b) trading contracts with the West give Poland an opportunity to learn the high technology of the Hest and at the same time employ highest efficiency in its own industry; and (c) trade with the West in relation to other trading partners places Poland in a better bargaining position. "However, a continuous shortage of hard currency and difficulties in obtaining new loans and in meeting payments were some of the factors that produced problems for Poland's economy. Inability to raise exports to pay for imports vJas also responsible for Poland's redirection to trade with the Bloc nations, especially with the USSR. "The appreciation of trade '"ith the developing countries is important because Poland needs direct sources of raw mate- rials. She needs to gain nev1 markets for her industrial products, particularly machines and industrial equipment. So the expansion of trade with the countries retarded in their economic development is beneficial to Poland. In view of the fact that this expansion is limited by Poland's possibilities as regards both exports and imports, it is necessary to concentrate on some selected countries, which offer prospects of a development most advantageous to both sides. ''There is very little evidence to suggest that Poland 1 s·· foreign trade will become West oriented again, as in the past. Undoubtedly, the Soviet Union and the Socialist bloc will remain for Poland both a source of industrial raw. materials and a market for her expanded output of industrial products. However, the more liberal trend toward trading with the West is visibly in offing in the Soviet bloc, at least for the present. Small nations like Poland, short of hard currency, are trying to improve their balance of payment position, and to demonstrate some 1 independence' from the Soviet sphere of interest. "Nevertheless, there is very little likelihood that the Polish regime will concentrate on trade decisions based solely on the economic factors. Unfortunately, in many instances, the latter will be outweighed by political considerations." Thorson is appearing every four weeks on the Helen Harne Walters Show over DOKZ.

JOHN RICHARDSON's article "On the Relevance of Early Modern Art to Contemporary Education" has been accepted for publication in The Art Journal. The principal U. S. magazine for art historical studies, the Journal is published by the College Art Association. The article is a critique of the relation between "what we call innovation and what we call creativity." Hainly, he deals with the emergence of the idea that the history of art entails a perpetual revolution of style and that the fine arts, thus, are always in a state of change. According to Richardson, this notion misrepresents both the history of art prior to Cubism and, as well, the character of the movements that have succeeded it. "It is a dogma that can be tolerated only by historians thoroughly conditioned by the modern mystique of progress. But it accounts for the obsessive feeling by contemporary artists that for their work to be good and lasting it must be original in the revolutionizing sense �- 12 that Cubism was. And it also seems to justify the tyranny of the mode that reigns in most university art departments." Richardson examines the methods of C~zanne Kandinsky, Picasso and others to demonstrate that "a peculiar decisiveness" is a more fundamental property of modern painting than is '"hat normally r:;oes under the name of originality. . . . An essay entitled "Dada, Camp and the Mode Called Pop" by Richardson, to be published by the American Society for Aesthetics in its periodical, The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism, ~trasts th;-nihilistic movement of the twenties--Dadaism--and the contemporary attitude knm~n as "Camp" (which treats the serious '·J ith frivolity and is solemn .:J. bout frivolous things) with the Pop Art movement. All of them reject the aristocratic conception of art that has dominated criticism since the Renaissance with notions of coherence, integrity and excellence. Pop differs in openly accepting the morbidities of mass society and discriminating against the best in order to commemorate the vJOrst, Richardson writes. "Hhen so many hold in contempt the virtues they publicly parade it is to be expected that some will proclaim the superiority of mankind's coarsest instincts. Likewise, when avant garde painting and sculpture are given a role in the prestige stratagems of the Cold War and made celebrities by the state, there will be men whose misguided sense of justice compels them to promote the retrograde as the thing that is really and truly representative of their nation. The thin g that we should ask, however, is not what best represents the people ~ut, instead, Hhat represents their best." Incidental to his analyses of Dada, Camp and Pop, Richardson presents some new critical approaches to the subject matter. . . .

BILL BENNEWITZ's book, Deduction, has arrived from Edwards Bros., Inc., and is being used in the general studies course GSD 112a and in Math 300 . A local high school is also using it in an advanced mathematics class. Bennewitz expects to place the book in several other high schools before the end of the quarter to test it thoroughly for ease of teachBill Bennewitz ing. A preliminary edition written for use at the Edwardsville campus, its aim is to lead the reader to a clear understanding of the concept of deduction. "The ability to understand and to construct proofs is treated as a skill which, like any other skill, can be learned by formal study and practice," �- 15 - according to the author. "The basic ~rinciples of proof are introduced first ~nd are then a pplied to the study of certain elementar y mathematical systems. Althou~h the applications in the text are primarily to mathematics, the principles which are introduced are applicable to the rational or ganization to any s ystem of ideas, whether it be an elementary problem in physics, an expository theme, or a general theor y such as euclidean geometry or quantum mechanics." The book is the culmination of several years' experience in teaching deduction to general studies students at the freshman level. So far as is lmm·m, the approach and scope are unique. . F. H.

ROBERT PENDERGRAS S was one of the speakers at the Southvles tern Sectional Meeting of the Illinois Council of Tea chers of Mathematics which met in Greenville October 22. Speakins on "Probability and Statistics in the Hi3h School," Pender grass defined statistics as "the science of decision making in the face of uncertainty." He discussed some common uses and some abuses of statistics and commented on popular opinions on the subject. "Stati s tics is generally admitted to be an analytical tool of i mportance in all of the sciences. Widespread applications of statistics to problems of everyday life seem to be resultin ~ in some acceptances of an opinion expressed by H. G. Wells that 'Statistical thinkin g will one day be as necessary for efficient citizenship as the ability to read and write. 111 In order to develop the necessary knowledge of probability and statistics, certain topics should be taught at the hi~h school level, says Pender grass, who presented a seventopic outline for such a hi gh school course. "Physic s and the Fine Arts" was the subject of a paper presented by HILLIAM SHAhl at the conference of the Illinois Section of the American Association of Physics Teachers which wa s held October C at Aurora Colle ge. Shaw said tha t phys icists shoul d find -vmys to make phys i cs fun, useful and practical to the non scientist. "Thi s can be done ~vi thout r:1ak ing content trivial," he sa i d, and illustrated by references to "Physics of Music and Acoustics," a course which he has tau gh t twice at SIU. Shaw also discussed other courses of interest to non scientists, such as "History of Phy s ics," "Physics of Li ght and Color," "Physics of Home and Shop," etc. He emphasized the importance of the realization that physics today is indeed a part of human culture. "Let's Abolish X" was the somewhat facetious title of a talk by Shav1 before the Chicago section of the American Association of Physics Teachers held November 13 at the new campus of the University of Illinois. He made a case for reductions in ambiguity and r _e_d vnp_a p_cy in the notation employed in some physics textbooks, especially those used for general studies courses. He also mentioned the simplifications introduced by the use of a notation he first introduced in 1948 for indicating powe r s of 10, now becomin ~ more common in the physics literature.

COLLIER, has been published by the Business and Public Administration Research Center of the University of Missouri. It is the eighth monograph reporting on a study of Hissouri 1 s economy beinG James Collier conducted by the Center. In his article, Collier, lon g interested �- 17 - in the economic aspects of Missouri's location and physical characteristics, analyzes employment and value added for each class of industry and the role of recent trends in the composition of manufacturing in the United States and Missouri. He also reviews the impact of manufacturing on Missouri in the nation, and the location and structure of manufacturing activity within the State. significant amount of manufacturing is in the smaller cities and in rural areas. Their smaller labor force makes the relative importance of industry to the local economy greater than the numerical values first suggest. Impact of added payroll is felt in retail sales and services in the community. Conversely, closing a small factory can be disastrous to a small community. An increased emphasis on the production of durable goods and an actual or relative decline in processing primary raw materials has been the most significant change in the structure of manufacturing in recent years, Collier concludes. This, he says, may indicate a maturing of industry. He points out that most of the rapidly growing industries of Missouri have been producers of durable goods, notably in aircraft, automobiles, and the various types of machinery. Three of the five major groups which have declined in employment are producers of textiles, tobacco, and rubber products, all non-durables. The other two showing net losses in employment were durables: lumber and wood products, and the primary metal industries. 11 According to Collier's report, manufacturing was the largest single source of income for persons engaged in production in 1960, the last year for which adequate detailed data are available. Before 1948, income to individuals engaged in retail and wholesale trade was greater than income from manufacturing. "Manufacturing is very unevenly distributed in Missouri," Collier says, "and some areas have high industrial activity; elsewhere manufacturing is only moderately developed, and in a few areas almost entirely lacking. Most of the large manufacturing establishments are located in the metropolitan areas, with a tendency for large-scale employers to locate in suburban areas evident in the Kansas City, St. Joseph, and St. Louis Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA). II In summarizing, Collier says that "in spite of the dominance of urban areas a In relation to their size, smaller communities appear to be making more aggressive attempts to attract new industry than the large centers. The efforts of many . l<ocal' -groups to attract industry to their communities are spurred by declining job opportunities on farms. In some areas, replacement of obsolete facilities and equipment with lower labor requirements has displaced workers, or failed to provide additional jobs for an expanding labor force." The new edition of The World Book Encvclopedia contains the article on Missouri to which Collier cont~ibuted. . . .
