THE LAW AND THE TEACHER The Law and the Teacher in Illinois, written by H. H. SHITII in collaboration with Lee 0 . Garber , ~1as released thi s spring by The Interstate Pr int ers and Publishers , Inc . Smith , professor of administration and curriculum, and Garber, professor of education and dir ector of the Educational Serv ice Bureau of the Universi ty of Pennsylvania, claim that all too frequently teachers -- even thoce ~lith tenure- - have little if any concept of the law as it relates to them and the profession to which they belong. "This is t o be regretted , 11 say the co- authors, "since �- , -- - - - - - - - 2 - a teacher's rights, duties, and obligations have their origin in law." The new book was desi~ned to give teachers and students preparing to teach in Illinois instruction in la'tv as it relates to their profession. Sub-titled "A Handbook for School Board Members , Teachers, and Administrators," it was written for such instruction at either the graduate or undergraduate level, and in the in-service training of teachers. "Without an understanding of the law, a teacher cannot have an adequate understanding of his status. Neither can he have a clear understanding of the institution with which he is so closely associated nor of the school district vhich provides him with employment." MRS. ROCKHELL DIES Eugenia Rockwell, wife of SIU's visitinn professor of education,JOHN G. ROCKl·lELL , died March 21 at Barnes Hospital in St .

SIU BOARD STIFFENS REQUIREMENTS Acting on faculty recommendations, the SIU board of trus tees voted March 17 t o change admissions rules to s tiffen requirements for out-of- s tat e applicants and at the same time allow earlier action on applications from top-ranking high school students. Effective wi th the fall quarter the new policy will limit regular admission of out - of- stat e high school graduates to thos e in the upper 40 per cent of their classes. Lower r anking students will be admitted only if they score exceptionally well on entrance examinations, and then will be granted entry only during the summe r term and on academic pr obati on . The board action also clears the way for applications for admission by high school students in the upper quarter of their classes af ter comp letion of six semesters of high school inst ead of the presently required seven. Such admissions will be subject t o completion of the senior year's work and maintenance of class rank. The new policy a lso 't lill affect undergraduate transfer students, limiting those with probationary standing to entrance only dur;l.ng ..trw. spring or summer terms. Such students are admitted only after an interruption of schooling of at least a quarter and where there is evidence they can successfully undertake additional education. Students who are transferring directly to Southern after graduating fr om twoyear institutions with 3.0 grade point averages are eligible for admission in any quarter, but those with lower aver ages may be res trict ed to enrolling in winter, spring, or summer quarters. CLAY DIGGING EXPEDITION Through the courtesy of John McQuillan of Ruckels Potteries, Inc., vlhitehall, members of ceramics classes at SIU explored and examined clay deposits recently at various locat ions and obtained raw samples of clay for testing purposes. Accompanying the classes were JOHN CANNON, assistant professor of art; ARTHUR TOHATA, SIU graduate and instructor in art at Monticello College and SIU; and Ben jamin lfuiteside , instructor at Alton Senior High School . The tour included a visit to a coal mine, the Gilmore property, where the Alton Brick Company formerly mined clay, to McQuillan and L. E. Bell property. The latter were sites of extensive clay mining operations in the old days . The clay was used for �- Lr..• - wheel-thrown crocks and other utilitarian vessels. A sample of clay from the Bell property won first prize at the St. Louis World ' s Fair in 190l~ for its suitability for wheel throwing. Because of its unusual properties, much of the clay was shipped to England. llost of these clay sites were abcr..doncd \vhen. the oper ations of digging became unprofitable for horse- drawn equipment. Hmvever, with the revival of interest in hand methods of clay building, the demand for this type of clay might warrant reopening of the deposits which might be mined with modern equipment , commented Cannon. Eight samples were taken from the four locations for testing purposes . UNI QUE KILN DESIGNED .... .. ~ -- John Cannon and s tudent Roy Atkinson stoke the trash- burner kiln. before firing. A unique kiln designed by Cannon and LARRY MARCELL was built and fired by students of ceramics and scul pture. Designed to be portable and fired with a var iety of combus tible materials, its total cost did not exceed $20. After building t he kiln , students in ceramics made ware and fired it . The firing took approximately two hours and the ware had the look of examples of primitive pottery, with subtle light and dark Note ware in kiln coloration . These colors resulted from natural atmospheric variances within the kiln . Cannon is quoted as saying "This is not the easiest way to fire pottery . The electric kiln is f ir ed by turning on a switch. But we might dr aw a parallel in that outdoor bar becue affor ds r esults not achieved by indoor cookery .

SMITH have r ecently released their findings on a third s tudy of teacher demand in southwestern Illinois. Their previous reports were made in the fall of 1962 and 1963 . The r eport includes the 11 counties previously studied and an additional eight counties . The 19 - county area, which includes 157 public school districts , employs 8,536 public school teacher s . Of these 5 . 09 per cent ar e teaching on provisional cert ificates; 61 . 67 per cent hol d only the bache l or ' s degree; 26 . 34 per c ent hold the mas ter ' s degree . The 1961:. percentage of t eachers holding provisional credentials is 3 . 17 per cent les s than in 1963, while mas ter degree holder s ar e up 2.20 per cent . The need fo r t eachers in the 19- county ar ea is consistent 'tvith the t wo previous reports . During the years 1964- 68, 974 elementary teacher s will have t o be added because of addit i ona l enrollment and added services .

HO\vARD DAVIS DOES STUDY OF HASTER'S DEGREE GRADUATES HO\·IARD DAVIS , pr ofessor of ed ucation, has complete d a study on mas t er' s degree graduates from th e Edwardsville campus. The first study in wha t is planned to be an annual s ur vey of the mas ter' s de gree gradua te s was des i ~ ned t o aid in eva luati on of the t r a inin:; pr ogr am for th e mas ter' s de gre e " by at t empt i ng to l earn vJhat former graduates think of the program as they experienced it." 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 ~cnoQl . educators in Illinois; 3) the typical graduate was 33 years of age, married to a spouse who had taken additional educational \vork beyond hi gh 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 de grees VJere a'\varded v7ith majors in guidance, educational administration and supervision, secondary education, and elementary education; 5) the master's de gree appeared to be a terminal de gree for the ma jority of res pondents; 6) the t y pical 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 plea s ed VJ ith all asp e cts of their graduate pro gram, would again choose to attend the Edv7ardsville campus, and '\.JOuld recommend it to their friends and acquaintances; 9) graduate s 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 /S 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 dthe 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 rntes. In the skylighted three-story well in the Elijah P. Lovejoy Memorial Library stands Rodin's "The Ha. lking Han." 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 z an in 1864 with the Salon's rejection of his sculpture, "Han with a Broken Nose. 11 In 187 5 he went to Italy, where Hichelang elo's tortured, unfinished shapes emer 3 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 Museum 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 utilities, 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 c our 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 possible, but competency is of the essence." �- 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 distributed. Contributors to the bulletin, containing analyses and abstracts of recent research in the area of business education, included Miss Brady and ELISE PALMER.

A summary of ELISE PALMER's doctoral dissertation was published in the Alpha Epsilon Delta Pi Epsilon Journal. 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 Findings 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 given 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 Forei gn Trade in the Soviet-Type Economies" \·lhich will appear in the spring issue of Busine s s Horizons, and "Poland 1 s International Trade, 19Lf6-63," >vhich Hill appear in the December issue of the American Economist, International Section. The latter article, an abstract from his doctoral dissertation, uses Poland as a point of illustration in examining some problems in foreign trade pricing. �- 7 - "There seems to be some validj. t y 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 forei gn trade continues to be a hi ghly concentrated affair. As much· as 61.0 per cent of the export and 61.2 per cent of import concluded by Poland in 1964 wa s 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 West 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 hi gh quality of goods not available on the CEMA market, but badly needed for industrialization; (b) trading contracts with the West g ive Poland an opportunity to learn the high technology of the West and at the same time employ hi ghest 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 meetin~ payments were some of the factors tha t produced problems for Poland's economy. Inability to raise exports to pay for imports was also responsible for Poland's redirection to trade with the Bloc nations, especially with the USSR. "The appreciation of trade ~v 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 re gards 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 ts.. foreign trade will become West oriented a gain, 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. "Neverthele s s, there is v ery 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 WOKZ. His first discussion was on October 13, his second on November 17. The unrehearsed, audience participation program is heard Honday throu gh Friday from 9:15 to 10:00 a.m. EDUCATION DIVIS ION NE\<JS Four members of the division participated in a pro gram on the Governor's Committee on Literacy and Learning held �- 8 October 19 at Holiday Inn , Edwardsville.

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 decisivene s s" is a more fundamental property of modern painting than is what normally r; oes under the name of originality. . . . An essay entitled "Dada, Camp and the Node Called Pop" by r-ichardson, 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 knmvn as "Camp" (which treats the serious '·Jith frivolity and is solemn CL 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, inte~rity and excellence. Pop differs in openly accepting the morbidities of mass society and discriminating a gainst the best in order to commemorate the ~JOrst, r-ichardson 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 mis guided sense of justice compels them to promote the retro grade 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 analyse s of Dada, Camp and Pop, Richardson presents some new critical approaches to the subject matter. . . .

BILL BENNEWITZ 1 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 - accordinr:; to the author. "The basic ~rinciples of proof are introduced first ~nd are then applied to the study of certain elementary mathematical systems. Althou~h the applications in the text are primarily to mathematics, the principles which are introduced are applicable to the rational organization to any system of ideas, whether it be an elementary problem in physics, an expository theme, or a general theory such as euclidean geometry or quantum mechanics." The book is the culmination of several years' experience in teachin~ deduction to general studies students at the freshman level. So far as is knm·m, the approach and scope are unique. . F. H.

In July IRHIN PARRILL and his wife were guests of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratories operated by the University of California for the Atomic Energy Commission at Los Alamos, New Mexico. They were able to examine the equipment and to interview the scientists directing research on missile assemblies, lens effects on criticalities, properties of the DNA molecule in cancer cells, pilot plant research on the design of the proposed new proton accelerator and the Sherwood Project. Through the "Expe riment in International Living" the Parri-11s ..were invited to join a charter flight to Europe with a plane load of college students returning to Europe after a visit in the United States. Stops were made at Gander, Newfoundland; Keflavik, Iceland; Copenhagen, Denmark, and Amsterdam, Holland. The Parrills then took a train trip to Hanover, Germany, where they picked up the Volkswagon bus "to use in university hopping, camping and to visit their daughter, RosaLee, an Air Force nurse at Toule Rossieres Air Force Base, 11 France." The first university visited was Koln "where members of the chemistry staff were very hospitable and generous of their time in showing off scientific equipment and research in progress." The University of Bonn was host to Gesellschaft Duetscher Chemiker during the stay there. "The University of Heidelberg was not only great in tradition but was nearing completion of extensive building programs in chemistry and physics. Freiburg uas both beautiful and traditional. Most impressive was the University of Zurich where Einstein taught and where he derived the now famous equation which they are trying so hard to capitalize on at Los Alamos. A most enlightening and gratifying experience was the visit to Das GmelinInstitut FUr Anor ganische Chemie und Grenzgebiete in der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Frankfurt am Main to observe �- 16 - efforts to classify and or~anize the tremendous volume of chemical information being published throughout the world. Professor Dr. Eirch Pietsch, director, was seriously ill and Dr. Isa Kubach served as hostess and personal ~ uide. The University of Frankfurt is woefully congested and crowded by the tremendous industrial comple x that has grown up around it. Plans are being studied to move the entire operation outside the city." The return trip to the States "was also made by university, The University of Sev en Seas equipped with dormitories and classrooms for about 900 students and a course of study that take the 'university' around the ~10rld each semester.'' . ROBERT PENDERGRASS was one of the speakers at the Southv1estern Sectional Meetin~ of the Illinois Council of Teachers 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 uncertaint y ." He discussed some common uses and some abuses of statistics and commented on popular opinions on the subject. "Statistics is generally admitted to be an analytical tool of importance in all of the sciences. Wi despread 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 Pendergrass, who presented a seventopic outline for such a hi gh school course. "Physics and the Fine Arts" was the subject of a paper presented by WILLIAM SHAI.V at the conference of the Illinois Section of the American Association of Physics Teachers which was held October C at Aurora Colle ge . Shaw said that phys icists should find vmys to make phys i cs fun, useful and practical to the non scienti s t. "This can be done ~vi thout r:1ak ing content trivial," he sa i d, and i llustrated by reference s to "Physics of Music and Acoustics," a course which he has taught twice at SIU. Shaw also discussed other courses of interest to non scientists, such as "History of Physics," "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 Chica go 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 ambiguit y and r .e.dvn.dap_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 rs of 10, now becorning more common in the physics literature. At a meeting of military en~ineers November 9 at Scott Air Force Base, Prof. ShaH spoke on "Sea Animals and Submarines." SOCIAL SCIENCES DIVISION NEWS "Trends in Manufacturing in Missouri," a comprehensive analysis of manufacturing in Missouri written by JAMES E. COLLIER, has been published by the Business and Public Administration Research Center of the University of Missouri. It is the ei ghth monograph reportin g 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. ''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 - 1oca~- 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." 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 lar ge-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 The new edition of The World Book Encyclopedia contains the article on Missouri to which Collier cont~ibuted. . . .

In his book, Taylor considers in detail cultural and social dimensions and offers practical direction to doctors, ministers, educators, psychologists, sociologists, social workers, and lawyers. He brings to the art of counseling the dimension of reciprocity --the consideration of two people taken together--and he shows how to establish an effective client-counselor relationship. He also discusses communication, the problems of feeling, and personality as they affect the marriage-relationship. In the final chapter he sets forth a philosophy of marriage, contrasting the value of emphasizing ego decisions with the traditional value of agreement between husband and wife. . . .

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.

A summary of ELISE PALMER's doctoral dissertation was published in the Alpha Epsilon Delta Pi Epsilon Journal. 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. His first discussion was on October 13, his second on November 17. The unrehearsed, audience participation program is heard Honday through Friday from 9:15 to 10:00 a.m. EDUCATION DIVIS ION NEviS Four members of the division participated in a program on the Governor's Committee on Literacy and Learning held �- 8 October 19 at Holiday Inn, Edwardsville.

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. . . .

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. . . .

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.

' 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.

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.

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.

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. • .
