Bond Issue up for Approval November t, Taxpayers may save money by approving the proposed state bond issue at the November 4 election, according to the Joint Alumni Council of state-supported universities in Illinois. In "The Closing College Doorn, a question and ans,ver summary on the $2L:.8 million bond issue which would provide critically needed buiidings for state schools and hospitals, the Council indicates that the principal and interest could be paid out of current revenue at the estimated rate of $14 million per year over a 25 year period -- an average of $1.(8 per person. Without the bond issue, a tax increase probably will be necessary if building needs are to be even partially met, the Council points out. Also noted is · the fact that buildins costs have risen more than 700 per cent since 1913, and there is no indication that this trend has reached a turning point. Thus, buildings erected 10 years from nou might cost far more than principal and interest nmv. More important than the cost, says the Council, is the fact that present state college enrollments of 156,636 are expected to rise rapidly to 27L, ,OOO by 1970, and 344,000 by 1977. The question then is hmv can more and more students be accepted when ~tate schools even now are using hundreds of temporary buildings in efforts to cope with present enrollments. One of the Council's major points is that the need for buildings is now not 10 or 20 years from nmv - beacuse lack of space already is :; closing the college door" to many young persons. �Dr. Kilchenmann' s Article on Hesse Published Dr. Ruth J. Kilchenmann, German and French, Alton, has an article in the current issue of the KENTUCKY FOREIGU LANGUAGE JOURNAL (Vol ,., V, Number 2).

Vol. 1, No.3 October 25, 1957 Compiled weekly by Information Service, Southwestern Illinois Residence Office, Southern Illinois University, for the staff members of the Residence Centers, the Newsletter is made possible by the cooperation of staff members who have contributed news items. F-A-C-U-L-T-Y N-E-W-S~L-E-T-T-E-R Next week Thursday afternoon the Southern Players Touring Company of SIU will present "She Stoops to Conquer" at the Alton Residence Center. The student players, organized six years ago, spend the entire fall quarter touring southern Illinois. During this quarter the students-all juniors or seniorstake no other subjects. Each player gets to play several different parts during the quarter and also takes his turn as make-up man. The players even make some of their own costumes and scenery so that when they go out later as teachers they ~ how to direct school plays. There will be no admission charged for the performance at the Alto.n Residence Center which is open to students and faculty. In other towns; where they are sponsored by civic groups, they get a percentage of the box office receipts. The idea is to break even, according to Jess W. Turnbow, who handles their booking from his office in Carbondale. One of the players acts as business manager, handling all of their fiscal matters, and a graduate student drives the bus which carries them and their scenery. Dr. Archibald McLeod, Speech Head, Carbondale campus, selects the plays presented by the group, and he or other members of the speech department travel with them. Chelsea Bailey, supervisor, Division of Technical and Adult Education, told the East St. Louis Rotary Club Wednesday about his more than two years in Iraq. Bailey, a rotarian, was one of the three organizers of the Rotary Club in Baghdad in 1955. He says that on their first ladies' night only the wives of Americans and other Westerners showed up. On the next ladies' night a few Iraqi wives attended; but on the ladies' night held just before Bailey returned to the United States, two-thirds of the wives were present. Bailey pointed out that Baghdad is a city of contrasts. While it has beautiful homes, half of the people live in mud huts much as they did at the time of Christ, except that they have kerosene stoves now. Baghdad is surrounded by desert. Its temperature goes to 126 in the summer, and there is no rain from May until October. Last week Dean Willis G. Swartz, Graduate School, Carbondale, District Governor of Rotary, addressed the same club. · Rotarian Swartz was introduced by Rotarian Harold See. �- 2 A picnic for the students and staff of the East St. Louis Center is scheduled for this evening at the Grand Marais Club House, 6:30 - 11:00. According to the office of the park, the route is as follows: Take State Street north to 73rd. Go right on 73rd to the main entrance of Grand Marais Park. Follo\v signs to parking lot for club house on island. Tom Evans, student affairs, East St. Louis, said yesterday that a wiener roast (as well as non-meat refreshments), will be followed by juke box dancing. This is the first all-student activity planned by the student advisory committee introduced at the 11:00 a.m. assembly at the State Street Baptist Church. Dr. Laurence Mceyeny, Qhysics, Alton, told the Alton Kiwanis Club Tuesday that the Russian satellite, Sputnik, although it is being pulled by the earth, is moving no closer to the earth. Reason: It is traveling 18,000 miles per hour in a line perpendicular to the straight-down motion. (Physicist McAneny will draw a picture for anybody who cannot understand this simple explanation -- ed.) Next week Faculty Newsletter will report on two talks Dr. Eric Baber is giving Monday one before the Alton Rotary Club and the other before the Alton Chapter of AAUW. Dr. Robert '~· Duncan, English, Alton, gives a sermon this corning Sunday morning in the Unitarian Church on Third Street. Topic: "Religion of Robert Frost". Duncan, who cam to SIU from the University of Wichita, has been interested in Frost for ten years. He has just had an article published on "Byron and the London Literary Gazette" in the fall issue of the Boston University Studies in English. Duncan also writes for money. His short story "I Flew through Hell for Love" which originally appeared in the magazine Air Facts in June is being republished in Air Force Magazine. He lives with his wife and three husky sons at 2918 College, Alton, Illinois. : ..... -------·· ',·------ ----- Newsletter this week secured a copy of the talk on Supermart Culture that Professor William Going presented before the St:. Clair County Institute of Junior and Senior High School Teachers at Mascoutah two weeks ago. (Going, who was invited to give the talk on the recommendation of our executive dean, was later pressured for a cut of the profits when the dean found that be was being paid hard cash for the talk. Newsletter in the interest of possible faculty action in the matter is bringing the whole-sordid affair to light -- ed.) , Going· pointed out in his address to the institute that fashions in culture, like fashions in clothes, shift and change, and he cited the comic strips as perhaps one of the most popular forms of mass communication today. Are they cultural? Going says one thing is certain: they follow some of the same patt~rns as do works that we usually call cultural. �... - 3 - For example, Dagwood's appeal is the attraction of daily doings, and in Dick Tracy the exotic is everywhere and there is romance. Then there is Lil' Abner, where Al Capp satirizes Liberace as Loverboynik, General MacArthur as General Bullmoose, etc. These three strips are excellent prototypes of realism, romanticism, and satire -- three of the standard patterns of so-called literary culture. (Using these strips as springboards and items for analyses in the teaching of literature and social studies is often more profitable than fighting them.) Not only the comics but jazz, bebop, and rock-and-roll have the mass appeal of popular art. Are they cultural? Again, certain of the basic elements of classic music are present in each of these. Jazz relies monotonously on the principle of syncopation, and rock-and-roll centers on the fortissimo downbeat with iteration ad nausium. "Is a canvas sprinkled with white sand, containing one black dot, and labeled ''Infinity" a real work of art?" asks Going . "One thing is certain. Such a picture makes the beholder think, and its negativeness challenges his positive world." In the last centry Matthew Arnold in Culture and Anarchy spoke of the individual perfection toward which one should aim. His successor, T. S. Eliot in Notes toward the Definition of Culture concludes that no perfection in any one of the several activities of culture, to the exclusion of others, can confer culture on anybody. The wholly cultured individual is a phantasm; and we are driven in the end to find culture in the pattern of a society as a whole, Culture then may be described as that which broadens the choices of life. Accord~ng to Eliot, " Culture is what justifies other peoples and other generations in saying, when they contemplate the remains and the influence of an extinct civilization, that it was worthwhile for that civilization to have existed." On the relation between culture and education Going says: "In our rush to educate everybody in everything, we are lowering our standards, and more and more abandoning the study of those subjects by which the essentials of our culture -of that part of it which is transmissible by education -- are transmitted." He says that the proliferation of courses must be weighed carefully, and that the teacher must exercise all of his ingenuity to teach in depth and breadth. Like the size and variety of our supermarkets, the skills and knowledge of the present-day world increase and multiply at an alarming rate. Going concludes that fn the final analysis he is a cultured human being who is highly skilled in some one art or science, trade or profession; and who is aware of the values of other arts and trades. We can no longer bow the knee to an art appreciation course as the place where culture is handed out, we can no longer worship the college degree as a guarantee of culture. The cultured individual is dependent upon the culture of a group or class and the culture of that group or class is dependent upon the culture of the whole society to which it belongs. The great artist does not emerge in a cultural vacuum. This fact is at once the hope and the elusive challenge of all public education. Going quoted from the Postheumous Fables of the late William March, whose last novel The Bad Seed was originally produced by Hollywood. Professor Going is in the process of editing "Ninety-Nine Fables by Hilliam March" for a university press. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Courses carry no credit toward a degree. Formulated in 1956 to meet the demand from industry to provide employers and-employees with the "tools of the trade " and to prepare leaders for intelligent participation in their work, the program was an immediate success. Competent specialists from the area, including Ph.D.'s in economics and psychology; cost accountants and industrial and mechanical engineers from industry; and communica- : tions teachers from high schools and universities comprise the faculty. · Bailey came to SIU's Southwestern Illinois Residence Office in East Saint Louis last August from an assignment of more than two years in Baghdad, where his friends included a sheik in the dairy business (milk shiek?). Mr. Bailey called attention to an industrial test given by secretaries to prospective bosses, recently released by an East Saint Louis .paper. The test asks the hiring official to count the F's in the following sentence, reading it only once: FEDERAL FUSES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS. (Turn to the bottom of the next page for rating key.) -------------------Jerry J. Fear, Field Director of the East Saint Louis Community Development Program, opened an office this week in Room 234 of the Broadview Hotel in East Saint Louis. Jerry, an SIU political science graduate, has been working in the East Saint Loui~ area since August. His work in community development at Cairo last year received na- · tion-wide press coverage. In line with Dean See's policy of supplying the faculty of the Residence Centers with background material on the various SIU activities, Fear told Faculty Newsletter that the Department of Community Development was established as a part of SIU's program of aiding in bringing about the full development of the human resources and natural wealth of southern Illinois . �., - 2 - He said that his immediate superior, Richard . hl . Poston, known throughout southern Illinois as "the doctor of sick towns, " envisages community development as encouraging the development of a community l~fe in which all_of the mem~ers of the community may join together to build an env1ronment best su1ted to the1r growth, development, and happiness. One of Jerry's first objectives in a new assignment is to get the community to see itself as a ,.,hole. He says in many communities he finds an assortment of many agencies and groups, all pulling separately, and in most instances without knowing what the others are doing. The program, began as a one-man operation by Poston in September, 1953, now has a staff of 16. Its activities have been the subject of 90 Radio-TV shows, including Ed Murrow's "See It Now " show on the famous Eldorado community project. ---------------------Dr. Howard Davis, student affairs, Alton, spoke before two groups in different communities last week. On Wednesday evening, October 9, he talked to the Wood River Lion's Club on their annual "Teacher Appreciation Day" on the rewards of being a teacher. All of the teachers in the dist~ict were present. Howard mentioned some of the things a community should expect to do for its teachers, and told them they could expect the cost of education to mount. He predicted an increasing shortage of teachers if schools did not make a greater effort to attract persons into the teaching profession. He called attention also to the fact that people are living longer and are demanding a longer period of formal training. On Thursday evening, October 10, Student Affairs Supervisor Davis spoke in a school district which had scheduled an election on a bond issue. Mitchell School in Granite City, whose PTA he addressed, ,-;ras not slated to share in this particular bond issue. He stressed the responsibility of citizens for maintaining schools in the entire school district. S. D. Lovell, government and history, East Saint Louis, has had an article on taxation accepted for publication by the Atlanta Economic Revie\v. Title: "The Adequacy of the Property Tax as the Principal Source of Municipal Revenue." The review, published by Georgia State College, has carried other recent articles of his on state-local fiscal relationships. Lovell, a native of Tennessee and a graduate of its state university, came to S!U from Georgia State College. His M.A. is from the University of Georgia, and his Ph.D. (in political science) is from the Ohio State University. He lives at 6003 West Main in Belleville with his wife and three children. (Dr. Lovell declined to comment when asked whether he was an authority on filling out income tax returns.-ed.) ~-------------------- Virgil Seymour, sociology, East Saint Louis, was back on the pay roll this week after a bout with the Asiatic flu. RATING KEY FOR BOSS'S TEST: There are six F's in the sentence. If the boss spots four, he is above average and would be inclined to notice the length of her coffee breaks. If he gets five, she'd hesitate to work for him, because he'd be sure to be too observing. Six would make him an impossible tyrant. Bailey says that most bosses get only three. �.. - 3 - John Knoepfle, English, East Saint Louis, disclosed t~is week that he has been accepted by Nimrod for his poetry. He has published also ~n Today, Four Quarters, and Yale Review. Knoepfle (pronounced Nofle) came here from Oh~o, where he started work on a river project two years ago while conducting.a ser1es of TV programs for WCET on the Ohio River. Since becoming acquainted w~th some of the men who served on stern wheel and side wheel packets and tows, he has recorded 60 full-hour tapes of the recollections of these old-timers. ' The tapes deposited \vith the Division of Inland Rivers of the Public Library of Cincinnati ~nd Hamilton County, were recorded wherever the old-timers could be found -- in the band room of night clubs, in desolate rooming houses, in the boiler rooms of hospitals, and on excursion boats. John, who writes his (meditative) poetry when he has time, modestly declined to submit a sample of it for this newsletter. ---------~----------- Professor Horace B. Huddle, chemistry, East Saint Louis, announced this week that almost daily shipments of new equipment and supplies for the science labs are· arriving at the Tenth Street campus, where both day and evening students take their lab work. Apat on the back. From the office of the executive dean comes an end-of-thefirst-month-of-classes gr~eting: "Congratulations on a job well done~ UndeJ' the very trying conditions of the past rather hectic month, it has been most gratifying to see the development of such a fine esprit de corps on the part of the Residence Center faculty and staff. The days ahead promise to be busy ones for each of us, with almost unlimited opportunities for professional growth. Ever present in our work is the satisfaction gained from the knowledge that we are providing a much-neede~ educational service for the people of this area. "We are most fortunate in having the fullest kind of support and cooperation from the Carbondate faculty and administrative staff, without which the task before us would be practically insuperable. The real test and challenge for the future l'ies in our ability to retain and justify this confidence now being placed in our program. This all-important feeling of oneness between the Carbondale staff and ours can best be assured through the development of a quality program ·in the Residence Centers. "As we look to the next crucial years in the growth and development of the programs of the Southwestern Illinois Residence Office, we not only welcome but request your suggestions for improvement. The future is what we make it." --------------------Dr. John Schnabel, registrar and admissions, Alton and East Saint Louis, served as registration chairman for the annual convention of the Association of College Admissions Counselors at Excelsior Springs, Missouri, October 12-15. John said. th~t a~cording to cloakroom reports on enro llnient, colleges in the MidWest are not f 1 nd~ng ~t substantially harder this year than last to make room for the students who seek admission. �- 4 - In the East the high school counselors are looking fo: colleges that will accept their students, i.e., those of their students who are not 1n the upper one-fourth of their senior classes. , . . Although the problem of getting into the college of one s c~o1~e in the M1d-West is not expected to become crucial before 1960, John says the adm1~s1ons officers in all parts of the country are laying the groundwork now for effect1ve cou~seling for 1960 admissions. . The admissions policy of the association is to counsel.each student so as to help h1m find the right college for his needs (whether or not th1s happens to be the college which is paying the salary of the admissions counselor concerned.) Speakers at this convention, ~hich had the best attendance of any ACAC convention to date, included: Dr. Lloyd s. Michael~ superintendent of Evanston, Illinois, High School; Frank H. Bowles, president of the College Entranc.e Examination Board; his assistant, F. L. MacMitchell; and H. R. Bartle, lawyer, former president of Missouri Valley College. --------------------Professor Joseph w. Bird, business management, Alton and East Saint Louis, this week addressed his second community group within a fortnight . The Men's Club of the First Baptist Church of Upper Alton, with their wives as guests, heard Dr. Bird charge them with the responsibility of setting standards and leading the way in the development of their children. He reminded them that all of the habits developed by the families in the home go to build up the habit patterns which are to carry the children through school and college. ("I am the sum total of every experience I have ever had.") Therefore it is up to the parents to see that their children have experiences which will enable them to establish proper habit patterns, --- patterns which result from essential experiences and which are not merely a veneer. Dr. Bird's talk of October 3 before the Exchange Club of Alton received front page coverage in the local press (S.ee Alton Evening Telegraph for October 4. - ed.) Next week's Faculty Newsletter will carry a report on Dr. Robert Duncan, English, Alton, who is scheduled to present the sermon at the Unitarian Church (Third Street, Alton) on Sunday, October 27. Dr. Eric Baber to address SIU Alumni Five me~bers of the SIU Alumni Board of Directors are expected to attend the October 21st meeting of the Madison County Division of the Alumni Association, Robert Odaniell, SIU Director of Alumn~ announced today. After a meeting at the Horace Mann School at 7:15p.m., the group will be conducted on tours of the Alton Residence Center by SIU students. At 8:00 p.m. Dr. Baber, director of the Alton Residence Center, will speak to the alumni and friends of the university. After the address, refreshments will be served at the Horace Mann School cafeteria.

He appeared at the Student Union in Alton during ' the afternoon and that evening addressed faculty, students and area cit, izens. The Catholic vote, _h e said, probably helped Kennedy get a majority of the electoral votes, although it may have cut down his popular vote. This interpretation was possible, he explained, because of the predominance of Catholics in the large cities of the states which threw the electoral vote to Kennedy . Lubell expressed the opinion that church pressure was exerted on both sides. In recounting interviews with persons who had been advised by their church leaders to vote for a particular candidate, he included sev~ral with citizens in the Bible Belt at Arkansas who had never voted before'for a presidential candidate. He told also o f an interview with a Wood River woman who had not voted for either candidate because her husband had voted for one c.andidate and her ,ehurch had advised her to vote for the . other. Lubell estimated that 50 to 60 per cent of the Catholic Republican vote went to Kennedy, with the reservation that statistics on this, of course, would be hard to come by; he indicated that very likely the votes of those casting their ballots strictly on the religious issue tended to cancel each other out " He called attention to the fact that Kennedy had won 54 per cent of the vote in Madison County as compar ed withAl Spli~h:.w_9.o got 40 per cent in 1928. INTERCOLLEGIATE BASKETBALL Southwestern Illinois Campus students have their first combined intercollegiate ba sketball team this season. For the past two seasons the Alton center has had a varsity basketball team , coached by HOWARD NESBITT, and the East St. Louis center has par ticipated in a junior varsity schedule. Combin$:ng players fr om the two centers makes a better schedule, according to Nesbitt. The sea s on will be highlighted by particip,a tion in th~ Concordia-Harris College Invitational Tournament in St. Louis and a trip to Des Moines, I owa, for a game with Drake University . Other teams on the schedule are Concordia Seminary of St. Louis, Rolla School of Mines , Rockford College , Chicago Teachers College, MacMurray College , and Harris Teachers College. Nesbitt is being assisted this year by RI CHARD SPEARS , for mer assistant basketball coach at Fresno State College (Calif.). FROM THE DESK OF THE DEAN I continue to hope that the faculty finds extracts from the issues on the Intercollegiate Press Bulletin informative , especially where the summaries represent the opinions of faculty committees and administrators dealing with problems that immediately con- �- 2 - cern us: Prospective element_a ry teachers at Pactfic Union College may now major in a content field, and still complete state teaching credentials. The professional sequence includes 12 quarter hours of foundation courses, including child growth, educational psychology, and principles of education.In addition, it will contain 15 hours of elementary methods a·n d 12 hours of student teaching . Dean Normington says that this program will be of special interest to students who wish to prepare for elementary teaching while taking a major in another field . • • • An exhaustive study of the possibil- ity of a longer school year for State College and University of Wisconsin students has been .undertaken by the State Coordinating Committee for Higher Education. The committee studied particularly the "trimester" plan, which would divide the academic calendar into three maj -o r periods: September to mid-December, January to midApril, and mid-April through July. The arrangement would provide one month of general vacation in August and shorter holidays at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. •• • Bridgeport, Conn. -(I.P . )-No student is justified in blaming his cheating on the fact .that "everyone does it," says Dr. Alfred R. Wolff, director of Student Personnel at the University of Bridgeport. In the past, he admits, copies of tests were procured by students by such means as taking imperfect copies out of wastebaskets . This is no longer possible, claims Dr. Wolff, because the instructor is now required to watch the entire procedure of typing and mimeographing an exam. In addition, the procedure in the mail and supply room, where it once was rumored that copies of exams were being obtained, is now being watched, warns Dr. Wolff . During an interview in 1958 with five University students who admitted cheating, one of them related that his reasons were that he resented obscure objective questions, and saw cheating as a means of balancing this handicap. Dr. Wolff remarks that students tend t .o blame everyone but themselves in such a case. He believes it is not the instructors' fault, although it is best for the student to be given as few chances as possible to cheat. " ·' . .... -.. ' ... ~ . Plagiarism, too, if it can be proven deliberate, should be rated in the same manner as cheating, Wolff maintains . The penalties for cheating on this campus are: first offense results in a zero and a lowering of the grade by one letter; second offense gets an automatic failure in the course; and third offense means expulsion from the class. Dr. -Wolff feels that, although light, these penalties could not be made heavier because the instructors might then be reluctant t-o turn a student in . Boulder, Colo.-(I.P.)-The faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Colorado has tightened suspension levels, effective this fall. The faculty voted a temporary change to last from September 1960 to September 1962. During this period a student will be subject to susp.e nsion if his average is: (1) Below 1.4 after two semesters completed or 24-47 hours attempted; (2) Below 1. 6 after four semesters of 48-71 hours; (3) Below 1. 8 after six semesters or 72-93 hours; (4) Below 2.0 after 94 or more hours attempted , According to Acting Assistant Dean Glenn Terrell, the more severe suspension levels will go into effect in September 1962, when a student will be subject to suspension if his average is below 1. 5 after two semesters �- 3 - or below 2. 0 a .f ter four or more semesters. The present rule putting any student on probation whose average falls below 2.0 will remain unchanged. Dean Terrell said the new plan would be administered with flexibility, with students allowed to petition for a waiver of suspension. lie a'lso noted that "many students have been on probation for numerous consecutive semesters, are not eligible for upper division work and are otherwise failing to make satisfactory progress toward the degree. "Two couunittees (the advising and academic progress couunittees) are particularly con·cerned with the numbers of students on scholastic probation and with the meaninglessnes~ oi the con~ept of scholastic probation." · • • • Springfield, Mo. -(I..P.)-A new pattern for education in business is emerging this year at a s~ll liberal arts college in southwes~ern Missouri. According to Dr. James F. Findla;y, president of Drury College's newly-dedicated Breech School of Business Administration, named for Ernest R. Breech, chairman of the board of Ford Motor Company, . the recentlyadopted curriculum is designed to give the business administration student a strong foundation not only in economics and mathematics, but also in the humanities and in natural and social sciences. The combined liberal arts-business curriculum resulted from a wide-ranging, twoy(\!ar study particip-ated in by seven Drury officials, which included the appointment of Franklin E. Folts, professor of industrial management .a t .the Harvard University Graduate School of Business Administration and one-time dean of business administration at the University of Oregon, to coordinate act i vities of the new school. Together, they devised a four-year program for business administration students relating traditional business courses (economics, statistics, accounting, finance, mathematics, etc.) to those in the humanities, fine arts and social sciences. The result is that Drury business students will devote slightly more than half their time to liberal arts studies. Mr. Breech says it is the urgent need for better-trained, more versatile business leaders that underlies the n:ew philosophy of education represented by the new school named aft.e r him. "The business executive of today, more than ever before, deals in human relations," he asserts. "The age of electronic computers places a · tr-emendous premium on creative thinking. As the alarm sounds for a new breed of business leaders, there must emerge a new philosophy of preparation for executives--a new pattern in education for business."--WTG NEWS FROM NEA A November 16 release from the National Education ·Association reveals p.l ans for a new network television series dramatizing individual college teachers and the contributions they are making to education. The announcement was made by William G. Carr, executive secretary of .t he NEA.

Steuernagel, superintendent of the East St. Louis School District, that the Southwestern Illinois Campus of Southern Illinois University provide consultant services for the school district campaign to promote a building bond issue. The bond issue, which will be approximately $7 million, will be voted on some time after the first of the year. To promote the bond issue, the Board of Education has formulated a Citizens Committee . This committee is divided into various sub committees. The following faculty members were appointed to serve as consultants to sub committees: HARRY H. SMITH, Program of Studie SEYMOUR MANN and RAYMOND E. TROYER, City Planning and Corrnnunity Affairs; H. BRUCE BRUBAKER, Finance; and CAMERON MEREDITH and RAYMOND J. SPAHN, Public Relations . UNIVERSITIES BOND ISSUE REPORT By H. Bruce Brubaker, Chairman Action Corrnnittee ... ~ . The Universities Bond Issue campaign is history. All of us can look with satisfaction upon a job well done . In a report compiled November 17, Mr. Harold Gibson of Illinois State Normal University, chairman of the statewide Universities Bond Issue Committee reported that "Yes" votes total 2,625,373 , "We do not know what the highest legislative vote will be, he added. The vote for President was about 4,742,000. Half of this figure would be 2,371,000. The legislative vote is usually about five per cent less than the total vote. At this time we have a quarter of a million more votes than needed for victory." In the above report we find great satisfaction. I wish to express my gratitude to all members of the faculty for the support given the bond issue. Many of you s.erved as coordinators, helping to set up organizations for promoting the bond issue, and still more of you served as speakers . Of equal importance is the fact that all members of the faculty wholeheartedly supported the bond issue in their contacts with the public. The bond issue campaign has helped the University and its faculty members become better known throughout the state. You will recall that SIU' s share of the $100,000 statewide faculty and staff fund to promote the referendum was $25,000. T1a.is amount was contrib)..lted on the Carbondale and Southwestern Illinois campuses by faculty members and civil service employees. SWIC �- 6 - staff members contributed roughly $4,600. Of this amount only $1,000 was sent to the State Universities Bon~ Issue Committee; the balance was ret.a ined here and used to pay expenses for such .activities as the October 1 bond rally, the studentconducted "Torch for Higher Learning" marathon, travel by coordinators and speakers, and for printing materials. The State Universities Bond Issue Committee transferred about $65,000 to Governor Stratton 1 s State Citizens Commfttee for the Universities Bond Issue. The balance, roughly $35,000, was used by campus bond issue committees and by the State Universities Bond Issue Committee. The major p.u rposes for which the latter committee used funds was for printing and shipping promotional mater.ials. The State Citizens Committee, using th·e $65,000, concentrated on radio and television advertising in the Chicago area. Evidently this was a good investment, .a s the bond issue carried four to one in that region. Hundreds of thousands of brochures and sample ballots were provided by the State Citizens Committee. During the campaign almost 400 talks were given in our nine-county area. Of these, about .350 talks were given by members of the faculty and 50 were given by laymen. Faculty members attended dozens of committee meetings, distributed approximately one-half million pieces of literature and traveled in excess of 15,000 miles. Our students contributed greatly to the success of the campaign. More than 200 of them worked at the polls; dozens of them distributed literature. Fifty-two East St. Louis coeds sent 1800 let,ters to citizens of 84 towns in the state, and many of them participated in the torch marathon. We can truly say that SWIC personnel helped "Keep the torch of higher education burning" in Illinois .

From these funds the legislature ill need to make appropriations to the niversities for specific purposes. The arliest date by which monies can become vailable is July 1 unless the legislature nacts emergency legislation which requires two-thirds majority. s soon as money has become available from he sale of bonds and the legislature has de appropriations, construction projects ased on completed plans and specifications be started. President indicated that ordinarily ne can anticipate completion of a major uilding within a period of from one to . wo years from the time of the awarding f contracts. In the case of the Edwardsille campus, he pointed out, all construeion projections must of necessity be eared to the a£quisition of land upon hich construction is to take place beause buildings can not be constructed n land not owned by the university. The niversity presently owns more than 1,400 . Morris also called attention to the act that there must be available easy ccess to utility structures. e announced that architects were working n preliminary plans for three buildings f the central group for the new campus: he library, a combined administration and ervices building, and a student center not .to be built with state money), and aidtt was hoped that with careful planning the first $25 million could be made to provide for approximately 5,000 students. One of the difficulties in the first phase of construction of the new campus is that a disproportionately large amount of money will have to go into basic utilities . All supply lines, for example, will have to be sized for the ultimate size of the campus. It would not be economical, he said, to provide sixinch water mains when 12-inch or 18-inch mains eventually would be needed. President Morris also went into the matter of the programming for .tb.e }miversity, which will be to develop in terms of good basic university education and one geared to the needs of the area in which the university is being developed. The program of the university should be developed in such a way, he said, that there can be continuing adaptation to the needs of the total area served by the entire university, with a view to tying in wherever possible the programs of the Carbondale campus so the maximum impact of each campus can be made possible . Approximately 50 women .a ttended the meeting, held in the Edwardsville Public Library . Chairman of the social hour was MRS. SEYMOUR MANN " Her committee included MRS . CARL ALFORD : MRS o KENWYN BOLDT, MRS. MILTON BYRD, MRS. ROBERT ERICKSON, MRS. THOMAS EVANS, MRS. FRANK EVERSUL4 MRS. EDWARD FERGUSON, MRS. S. D. LOVELL, MRS. HOWARD PFEIFER, ~S. JOE SMALL, and MRS . ROBERT STEINKELLNER. POSSIBLE NEW TRAINING CENTER The Southern Illinois University board of trustees Saturday (Dec . 10) authorized University officials to confer with representatives of The Tractor and Implement Division of the Ford Motor Co. concerning a cooperative approach to a new training center to be established by the Division . Under consideration is the leasing of SIU land near Edwardsville, with the likelihood that this acreage would be supplemented later thro~ the leasing of privately-owned lands . Represent- �- 14 - atives of the Ford Company said they had been considering sites in three midwestern states. A Ford spokesman said land available here meets the Ford needs because it is a combination of bottom land and hilly acreage and is adjacent to a growing university. A proposed lease would run for three years, with option for renewal for three years or longer. All improvements on the land, such as farm buildings and · classrooms and other facilities for Ford trainees, eventually would go to the University or, if University officials desired, would be removed when the lease expires . ACADEMIC ROBES AVAILABLE If you are interested in buyirg custom made academic robes, contact JAMES BEASLEY, book store manager, extension 241, for an appointment to be measured. According to Beasley, a variety of styles and pric.es are available through E. R. Moore Company, makers of caps and gowns.

There will be a Christmas Grab Bag, so everyone is being asked to bring some white elephant, appropriately wrapped and accompanied by an original verse. According to the sponsors of the party, this really i0 supposed to be some Hhite elephant that the donor has been \vaiting to unload at an affair like this. (NEHSLETTER \vas advised to carry this item as the lead article in this issue "because busy housewives haven't time .to plow through ponderous accounts of abstruse articles published in scholarly maga~ines and lengthy papers read before professional organizations.") Add to December Calendar: Square Dancing -- Alton Residence Center Gym, December 6, 7:00 p.m. New University Telephone Lines in Operation Two direct telephone tie lines are nmv in operation bet\·J een the Alton and East St. Louis Residence Centers. (The administrative offices at the Broadview Hotel are serviced by the sHitchboard of the East St. Louis Center.) ONLY AUTHORIZED FACULTY and STAFF HEHBERS NAY USE THESE DIRECT LINES, according to the executive dean's office. Since these lines are in demand almost continuously, staff members are urged to complete calls on them with celerity. The Business Office today asked FACULTY NEHSLETTER to publish these instructions to staff members concerning use of University telephones: "If you wish to make a call from one Center to the other, ask your suitchboard operator to connect you with the operator at the other Center. \.vhen she ans~;vers, tell her what extension you want. "If you \vish to make an outside call, tell the switchboard operator at your Center what number you wish. She will give you an outside line, and -- on request -she will tell you whether you can dial your number directly or \vhether you must dial "O" to place your call with the Telephone Company operator. (Some outside calls can be made more economically through the S\·Ji tchboard of the other Center.) 11 IF YOU HISH to MAKE a LONG DISTANCE CALL~ GIVE YOUR Sh!ITCHBOARD OPERATOR YOUR NAME and DEPk'lTMENT AS l.ffiLL AS the Nut-lBER YOU INTEND td CALL. She has been instructed to keep a list of all long-distance calls. (If you call Carbondale 1340, tell her the Extension as well.) "If you call from a telephone outside the Centers, dial EJTHER Bridge 4-2100 or Alton 2-0001, and the s>vitchboard operator who answers will help you get the Residence Center extension you wish." ----------------------------~------ �. >· - 2 - New Directory Now on Sale Just off the press is a 1958-59 directory containing the names of the faculty and staff at everycampus of SIU.

(advertisement) ' Going on THE ACADEMIC MARKETPLACE Early this month NEWSLETTER asked Dr. \Villiam T. Going, dean of instruction, to write down for this issue some of his impressions of the University Library's latest book on the hiring and firing of university faculty members. Several days later he tvrote: "All of us interested in the anatomy of our academic profession -- its mores, morales, and machinations -- will find Theodore Daplow and Reece J. HcGee's The Academic Harketplace (Basic Books, Inc., 1958) a book worth reading. (The copy I read was furnished through the courtesy of East St. Louis Residence Center Library.) "This is scarcely the place for a full-fledged book review, but I thought you would be interested in at least three points. ;'Quoting from an address by H. H. Cowley, the authors remind us that after the emergence of the Italian universities in the late Middle Ages, students held all the administrative posts, establishing fees to be paid professors, the length of their l~ctures, and the fines to be levied against teachers who came to their lecture halls late or who taught less well than the students thought desirable. Eventually, for a complex of reasons, student control >vaned, and the civil authorities took over by appointing what we would today call boards of trustees . . . lay bodies of non-academic people. Our American universities, copying in particular the organization of Yale and Princeton, who, in turn, copied the University of Edinburgh and Leyden, have thus inherited an Italian pattern of giving all the ultimate governing power to boards of trustees, professors being in fact hired men. �- ., .) Going on Ttffi ACADEMIC MARKETPLACE (Cont'd) "A second matter of interest is a sampling of the eleven recommendations in the final chapter: 1. That the tenure rank of lecturer be established for .men primarily interested in teaching. 2. That the order of seniority at each academic level be respected and streng"thened. 3. That standard base salaries be adopted for all academic ranks, and that salary information be made a matter of public and accessible record. 4. That a standard teaching load, expressed in class hours, be adopted in all departments of the university for all members of the teaching staff. 5. That both the period of probationary appointments and the period of probation be much extended. 6. That fringe benefits be improved and expanded. 7. That the personal and arbitrary control of administrative officers over members of the faculty be reduced as far as possible. 8. That regular, orderly procedures be established for promotion and for the renewal of contracts. "The third point, which is an ironic one, I borrowed from the summary on the book jacket. Like most anatomies, The Academic Narketplace does not present a pretty picture. lle learn, for example, that the chief criteria used in making appointments are prestige and compatibility, but that prestige, which rests on scholarly achievement and not on teaching ability, is judged by a survey of opinion rather than a survey of published work: the printed material gathered or submitted for that judgment is looked at but not read. "Jacques Barzun, who has \·l ritten the foreward to the book, concludes: 'To a foundation, this work is obviously a report; to the authors' colleagues, it will be knmvn as a study; but to the reader, the lucky reader, it will surely seem what it is-- a book.'" Last \veek Going called attention to ::t review of this book in the December issue of HARPER'S HAGAZINE, in which Paul Pickrel, discussing THE ACADENIC MARKETPLACE and THE ACADEHIC lUND by Paul Lazarsfeld and \lagner Thielens, Jr., says : "After these two studies of the problems of the academic bureaucracy it is a comfort to turn to a book concerned with the quality of education offered in American colleges -- SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE PROFESSORS, by George \.Jilliams. Dr. Hheat Addresses 11th Group since Start of Quarter This \veek brought to eleven the number of community groups Dr. Leonard \.Jheat has been asked to address this quarter. In addition to giving four talks on the State Bond Issue for Education-Helfare purposes and appearing before four church groups, he addressed the teachers and administrators of the Belleville Elementary Schools; the Belleville League of Homen Voters and the PTA Council; and the St. Clair County School Administrator's Association. Hheat, supervisor of graduate advisement at both Residence Ce nters, came to SIU last January from the University of llinnesota at Duluth. �SIU to Ask Le r; islature for Honey to Develop Proposed Second Campus Southern Illinois University will ask the st ate le gi s l a tur e to appropriate $20 million in capital funds durin g the ne xt bi ennium for a proposed second campus near Edwardsville, it was announced last ue ek a t a meeting of the University's Board of Trustees in Carbondale. Construction, land development , and planning cost es timates for the ne•v campus during 1959·61 total approximately 1/3 of the total $62 million the university \vill re quest from the next session of the general assembly for capital improvements. The board of trustees also approved an operating budget re c. uest of $47,807,889.00 ·· more than double the appropriations received for the current biennium -- but costs of operating the Edwardsville campus or the present SIU residence centers in Alton, East St. Louis, and Belleville 1vere not li ste d separately . Hmvever, the capital budget the univer s ity will seek ear-marks $14 million for buildings on the proposed campus to se rve the populous in the Hadison and St. Clair Counties area. Another $4 million 1·1 ill be made for land development and $2 million for architectural and engineering planning , the board decided. A $1,600,000 fund drive headed by civic leaders is now underway for purchase of the 2 ,600-acre site west of Edward sville. The initial buildings planned and thei r estimated cost are: central services and classroom building, $3.5 million; classroom and office building, $2 .5 million; physical education, $1.5 million; library, $3 mill ion; natural sciences, $2 million; and physical plant and pmver plant, $1.5 million. Some $20 million >·Jill be neede d for neH buildings at Carbondale, the bo ard stated. Commenting on the ne ed for hi gher appro priations for the unive rsity, President D. \v. Morris pointed out that SIU' s enrollment has increased by 7, 267 students since the post-Har peal~, a gain of some 2, 000 mo r e th an al l five of the other state colleges and universities combined. lvhile most schools across the country are just now approaching their record totals of 1948 and 1949, Southern's student body h a s increased by 329 per cent, reflecting the greatly increased area int eres ts in hi gher education and the resulting nevl opportunities and pro c rams at SIU. Morris also said tha t service-minded SIU tau ght 9,000 students in more than Lf00 extension and adult education classes of f the campus last year, not including students registered for credit courses a t the universi ty's residence cent e r s. Another 35,000 attended non-credit workshops and conf erences at the university. (In a November 20 editorial, the CIIICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE tried to make out that "the competition for the tax dollar in Il l inois \v as amic able " until SIU' s "ambitions . . .led to such fantastic demands as a neu 2 , 600- acre c ampus in Had ison-St. Clair Counties and a 194 million dollar capital improvement pro gram.

See told a joint meeting of the Rotarian s and teachers of Collinsville last week. See, uho spent a year in Burma as a Fulbright lecturer and consultant to the Ministry of Education immediately before coming to SIU to head the University's program in SouthHestern Illinois, proposed severa l steps that should be taken to improve the U.S. Forei gn Service: 1. A greater attempt should be made toHard elimination of the language barrier by giving more an d better training in l angu age facilities to state department officials. 2. Increased understanding of foreicn peoples could be achieved through better and more extensive training of state department officials in the history and customs of the people and through direct contact Hith the foreign nationals \vhi le on . ass ignment. 3. Career diplomats and state department officials should be trained for Hark in a selected area. Tvm- year ass ignments to a foreign country are not efficient, since it takes a neHcomer almost that long to become well enough acquainted with the people to be of any value as an emissary. 4. Channels should be provided through which undistorted facts may reach policy-making bodies in llas hin[;ton.
