"Many of us in t he University feel," he

WALTER BLACKLEDGE and his wife are coauthors of an article entitled "Supervising Women Employees" written for the
Executive Series of the Dartnell Corporation of Chicago and London. The firm
specializes in publications for business
and government. • • • The power of the
press works in interesting and mysterious
ways, says Blackledge. On March 5, 1965,
Sylvia Porter ran a column on some research coupled with an article by the
SIU professor and his wife entitled
"Seven Steps to Successful Supervision
of Women." The couple received mail
from all over the U. S. and Canada requesting copies of this material. "There
has been a continuous stream of requests
from educators, businessmen, libraries,
and various associations since," said
Blackledge. The Kelly Girl Service,
a national organization for providing
business employers with supplemental
help, put a summary of this article in
its newsletter. This is just one example of the material which has been
picked up by corporate newsletters,
inserted in other types of publications,
given in speeches, and used at conferences throughout the country. As a
result of Miss Porter's column, Harper
&amp; Row are interested in the possibility
of a full-length book on the subject.
• • • MARY MARGARET BRADY was named
"Distinguished Business Educator of the
Year" by the Illinois Business Education
Association, meeting last March in connection with a two-day convention in
Chicago of the Illinois Vocational Association. Inaugurated last year, the
Distinguished Service Award is given
to a person with at least 15 years of
active service in business education on
the local, state and national levels and
for professional writing in the field.
Head of the secretarial sciences faculty,
Prof. Brady organized the Southwest Area
Business Education Association and has
served as co-chairman since its inception.
She is a member of the executive board of
the Illinois Vocational Association and

chairman of its publications committee.
Co-author of two textbooks in business
education, she has also written many
articles for publication. • • • Miss
Brady gave an address entitled "Putting
That Tiger in Teaching" at the April 15
meeting in St. Louis of the Administrative Management Society. Her
, suggestions were based on the need for competence and creativity. Prof. Brady suggests .. ~~a~ ~ . teacher should be competent
in: 1) Basic philosophy and total curriculum for business education; 2) research;
3) knowledge of community needs, and
4) teaching techniques.
• • • CHARLES DRAKE has been included
in the survey of academic and business
economists which was conducted by the
Chase Manhattan Bank of New York. The
bank is seeking opinions of professional
economists concerning such currently
important issues as inflation, wageprice guide lines, taxation, etc. Results of the survey will be available
in a forthcoming issue of the bank's
bimonthly publication, Business in
Brief. This is the second year Drake
has been contacted in the bank's annual
survey. Drake attended the spring meeting of the Industrial Relations Research
Association held in Milwaukee May 5-7.
The meeting emphasized collective bargaining in the public service and included addresses by such authorities
as Arthur M. Ross, Commissioner of
Labor Statistics, and John W. Macy,
Jr., chairman of the U. s. Civil Service Commission.
• • • The following members of the
economics faculty were in Columbus, 0.,
April 14-16 for meetings of the Midwest

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."

from his doctoral dissertation, uses Poland as a point of illustration in examining some problems in foreign trade pricing.

"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."

. . . 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.

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

"Trends in Manufacturing in Missouri,"
a comprehensive analysis of manufacturing in

of the University of Missouri. It is the
ei ghth monograph reportin g
on a study of
Hissouri 1 s

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

HO\.JARD DAVIS DOES STUDY OF
MASTER'S DEGREE GRADUATES
HO\vARD DAVIS, professor of ed ucation, has

first study in wha t is planned to be an
annual survey of the mas ter's degree graduates was desi ~ ned t o aid in eva luation of
the training pro.c;ram for th e master's de;;ree "by attemptin g to learn ,.Jhat form er

graduates think of the program as they
experienced it. 11 Former students appraised the program in terms of its .
effectiveness in preparing them for
the experiences they have had in the
field.
Questionnaires were sent to 378 persons
and 315 responded. In summarizing his
study, Davis listed nine points revealed by the study: 1) The number
of male graduates exceeded the number
of females by a ratio of 2 to 1;
2) the greatest number of graduates
came from Illinois and remained to
work as public $CllQQl ,educators in
Illinois; 3) the ty~ical graduate
was 33 years of age, married to a
spouse who had taken additional educational work beyond high school, was
employed full-time with a yearly income of approximately $8,000, which
had been increased as a result of his
being awarded a master's degree;
lf) the greatest number of master's
degrees Here a&gt;varded \vith majors in
guidance, educational administration
and supervision, secondary education,
and elementary education; 5) the
master's degree appeared to be a terminal degree for the majority of respondents; 6) the typical graduate
waited four years before starting
his graduate work, but there was some
evidence that this time was being
shortened; 7) respondents tended to
remain v1ith their prior employment
and were sati s fied with it; 8) graduates were pleased Hith all aspects
of their graduate program, would
again choose to attend the EdvTardsville campus, and •wuld recommend it
to their friends and acquaintances;
9) graduates primarily chose the
Edwardsville campus because it was
near their homes and because of low
tuition and fees.

UNIVERSITY ACQUIRES
RODIN 1 S HALKING MAN

The most significant sculptor of his
time, the French sculptor had a strong
influence on sculpture in the early
20th century.

BUSINESS DIVISION Nm 7S
Illinois has been a pivotal state in
winning more equitable property tax
assessment for railroads, LEO COHEN
told the annual conference of the National Tax Association meetin~ in New
Orleans early in November.
Cohen said it is apparent that d the
monumental achievements in Illinois
are affecting the situation in other
states, although complete victory is
far from won in many states, especially Arkansas, West Virginia and
Hyoming." He cited a number of Illinois Supreme Court cases decided in
favor of railroads which had claimed
excessive or discriminatroy assessments.
In most cases, the courts have held
that railroad property was overvalued
by the assessors, or that rates on
railroad operating property were not
equalized with local property rates.

In the skylighted three-story well in the
Elijah P. Lovejoy Memorial Library stands
Rodin 1 s ''The I·Jo. lking Han. 11 Francois
Augucte Rene Rodin uas born in Paris in
November of 1840 and lived until the same
month in 1917. His early training was received at the Petite-Ecole du Dessin and
the Gobelius school. Rodin's long, controversial career be gan in 1864 with the
Salon's rejection of his sculpture, "Han
with a Broken Nose. 1 1 In 187 5 he went to
Italy, where Hichelangelo's tortured, unfinished shapes emer g ing from rough marble
blocks affected Rodin' s own style. Hith
the acceptance of his "Age of Bronze" in
1877, Rodin's work be gan to be recognized
and preserved in the Rodin Huseum in Paris.

"Hhere markets are reasonably perfect,
such as the securities market, pricing
or valuation is a simple procedure of
using market quotations," Cohen stated
in his paper. 11 hany difficult problems arise in valuating certain types
of properties, such as major industrial
concerns and public utilitiec, which
rarely exchange in the market.
"The valuation of all types of property is a very technical business which
requires well-qualified, honest personnel , " he said. "This is also crucial when one recognizes the dependence
the cour ts place on the role of the assessors, including the so-called judg ment factor . . . . And especially is
this important in ascertaining values,
where mathematical certainty is not po s sible, but competency is of the essenc e . 1 '

�- 6 . . . At the fall conference of the Illinois Business Education Association held
in Springfield November 4-5 a research
bulletin edited by MARY M. BRADY was dis tributed. Contributors to the bulletin,
containing analyses and abstracts of recent research in the area of business
education, included Miss Brady and ELISE
PALMER. Miss Brady is chairman of the
Publications Committee for the IBEA. At
the conference JACK COFFEY served as chairman of the section on "How to Provide for
Individual Differences in Basic Business,
Personal Finance, and Economic Education."
KENNETH MARTIN served as recorder at one

is chairman of the Research Corr.mi ttee for
the IBEA and is currently working on plans
for a state-wide survey of office occupations.

. . . 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

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,"
&gt;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 .

"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."

and Politics in Brazil" at the Latin
American section meeting of the annual
American Educational Theatre Association
Convention held in Miami. The paper was
an elaboration of a request from section
chairman Frank McMullan of Yale University for Birdman to prepare a report
based on his · experiences as a lecturer
for the U. S. Information Service in
Brazil during the summer of 1964.
Last summer Birdman completed translation of the first materials in English
on the history of the Brazilian theatre
from Jesuit efforts in the 17th century
to 1948. He distributed a chronology
and a critical biblio graphy of Brazilian
theatre history at the convention.

areas who are forming a new community
theatre. He has previously organized
or directed community theatres in
Champaign, Illinois; Edgewood, Maryland;
and Vincenza, Italy. "Only the names
of Places had Dignity'' is the title
of a speech Birdman gave recently at

. . . 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.

test it thoroughly for
ease of teachBill Bennewitz
ing. A preliminary edition written for use at the Edwardsville
campus, its aim is to lead the reader to
a clear understanding of the concept of
deduction. "The ability to understand
and to construct proofs is treated as a
skill which, like any other skill, can
be learned by formal study and practice,"

�- 15 -

according to the author. "The basic
~rinciples of proof are introduced first
~nd are then a pplied to the study of certain elementar y mathematical systems.
Althou~h the applications in the text
are primarily to mathematics, the principles which are introduced are applicable
to the rational or ganization to any s ystem of ideas, whether it be an elementary
problem in physics, an expository theme,
or a general theor y such as euclidean
geometry or quantum mechanics." The
book is the culmination of several years'
experience in teaching deduction to general
studies students at the freshman level.
So far as is lmm·m, the approach and scope
are unique.

"Trends in Manufacturing in Missouri,"
a comprehensive analysis of manufacturing in
Hissouri 1i7ritten by JAHES
E. 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&lt;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."

Encvclopedia contains the article on
Missouri to which Collier cont~ibuted.

PRESIDENT MORRIS REPORTS ON SIU
TO GRANITE CITY PRESS-RECORD
(The following report on SIU by President
Morris appeared in the December 30 issue
of the Granite City Press-Record~)
A broad-based university is more than a
place where classes are taught. It is an
institution which seeks to bring all of
its resources and all of its energies to
bear in serving the needs of its many constituencies--locally, on the state level,
nationally and globally.
While these resources of Southern Illinois
University have had application to the
Quad-Cities during the span of years in
which the new campus has been emerging,
we can look forward together to an implementation of more plans, to a crystallization of more efforts, now that we have a
large, diversified and thriving central
campus emerging in metro-east.

I

During the fall quarter, there were 717
Quad-City residents enrolled in the undergraduate and graduate programs at the Edwardsville campus, and the implications
of this growing enrollment are plain. So
are the expanding programs of in-plant
training and special courses conducted by
the University's Technical and Adult Education Division in Granite City and elsewhere.
Our Small Business Institute is now developing educational programs in metroeast for owners and managers of retail
establishments and will act as a liaison
in providing faculty assistance to help
solve problems of individual firms. The

Business Research Bureau is currently
involved in a market analysis of the
central business district of Granite City.
The Public Administration and Metropolitan Affairs Program is concerned with
studying social and economic problems
of the metro-east area. Among its many
studies which are pertinent to this
"business forecast" are an "Inventory
of Economic and Population Data for
Metro-East" and "The Impact of Expanded
University Employment at SIU, Edwardsville."
The first report describes this area
through retail and wholesale trade,
manufacturing, employment, income and
financial resources. Population for
the Quad-Cities is expected to reach
59,300 at the end of 1966--a growth
of 5,200 since the 1960 census.
There are approximately 1,200 academic,
administrative or civil service persons
on the Edwardsville campus, with a total
yearly payroll of about $7.5 million.
In addition, 700 to 800 students who
work part time for the University earn
roughly $1 million.
Beyond this direct impact, the housing
industry will grow and shopping facilities and other services will expand
to keep pace with growth of the University.
The construction program on the new
campus is also important. Approximately
80 per cent of the original construction
has been completed, and the balance of
the first phase should be completed
during the next 12 months.

�- 2 -

A second phase of over $6 million should
commence by next spring and continue
through the next two years. This should
continue to provide jobs for hundreds of
construction workers coming largely from
the Quad-Cities and other communities in
the metro-east area.
UNITED FUND DRIVE AT EDWARDSVILLE
CAMPUS EXCEEDS PREDICTIONS
Results of the first all-campus United
Fund drive at the Edwardsville campus
were even better than predicted, according to Prof. CAMERON MEREDITH, head of
the University's State and National Public Services Division, who spearheaded
the drive.
The average contribution of the 300 faculty and staff members who gave was "sub
stantial," Meredith said. Several communities will receive cash and personal
pledges as well as monthly checks from
payroll deduction pledges.
Edwardsville-Glen Carbon and Alton-Hood
River United Funds will receive roughly
$2,000 each from the $4,350 received to
date in the drive. Belleville, East St.
Louis, Collinsville, Tri-Cities, Troy
and St. Louis will get the balance.
In commenting on the outcome of the UF
campaign at SIU, Meredith said he felt
certain that "our total effort will clearly indicate the University's sincere interest in the welfare of communities in
this area. 11
FIRST VOLUME OF PELL COMPLETED
The first volume of PELL (Papers on English
Language and Literature) was completed with
the autumn issue. This issue includes another view of "The Wife's Lament" as seen
by Thomas M. Davis of the English faculty
at Carbondale; an unpublished Washington
Irving manuscript by Prof. JOHN FRANCIS
McDERMOTT of the Humanities Division; and
further sources for Graham Greene's "The

Second Death'! by Prof. MARION TAYLOR,
also of the Humanities Division, and
John Clark.
Coincident with becoming official publication of the Midwest Modern Language
Association, the journal will drop the
"English" in order to carry literature
in other languages and will inaugurate
with its winter issue the use of a
colored -cover, according to Prof.
NICHOLAS JOOST, editor of the quarterly.
Keyed to the four seasons, subsequent
issues will have a blue cover in winter,
green in spring-,. pink,-in summer, and
terra-cotta in the autumn.
Introduced last March, the journal was
chosen official publication by ~~A
because it was young, with policies
still in the development stage.
Slip cases for the first volume will
be sold through the University's Business Office, and bound copies will be
available for use in the SIU libraries.
ALTON-WOOD RIVER
RED CROSS THANKS SIU
President Morris is in receipt of the
following letter from Dr. Paul G.
Stromsdorfer, chairman of the blood
program for the Alton-Wood River Chapter of the American Red Cross. "On
behalf of the Blood Program Committee
of the Alton-Wood River Chapter of the
American Red Cross, I wish to express
our appreciation to the faculty and
students of your university for the
help and cooperation given on our recent Bloodmobile visit.
"258 individuals appeared to donate
blood with 26 being deferred for medical reasons. The Board of Directors
of the chapter joins me in expressing
our deep felt gratitude to Southern
Illinois University for their outstanding efforts in this endeavor. 11

STUDY LAUNCHED ON JUNIOR COLLEGE
NEEDS IN ILLINOIS AND HISSOURI
A study of community junior college needs
in Illinois and Hissouri has been launched
by SIU, according to H. DENE SOUTHWOOD,
Education Division head.
"The rapid grmvth and acceptance of the
community college concept places the responsibility for planning, surveying needs,
and training personnel in the hands of
trained leaders," Southwood said, "and the
SIU Education Division has augmented its
staff with experts in the community junior
college field."
GEORGE GOODHIN and HENRY BOSS, as well as
Southwood, are presently conducting studies
to determine present community junior college programs and future needs.
"The position of SIU, Edwardsville, is
unique in that it is in the center of an
urban growth and population increase where
community colleges will have an increas-

ingly important part in the educational
picture," Southuood said.
"Good\vin came to S IU \Jith 10 years of
experience in teaching and administration at Pensacola (Fl a .) Junior College.
During his tenure as director of Information Services and Community Services the Florida college grew from
400 to 7,000 students and is considered
to b e one of the top five colleges in
the nation, according to experts."
Goodwin has served as consultant to
new junior colleges in Florida, Alabama, Hississip~i; ~nd ~ Louisiana.
Boss is a curriculum leader in Illinois
education and is a member of the Board
of Directors of the Illinois Association
for Supervision and Curriculum Development. A teacher at three universities
and a specialist in the junior college
movement, he also took part in the
Kellogg Foundation-sponsored Community
College Institutes and assisted area
committees in the formation of several
new Illinois community junior colleges.
Southwood, who earned his doctorate
at the University of Florida, taught
at Jacksonville Junior College. He
participated in the preliminary meetings for establishing a junior college in the Madison County Illinois
area and was principal speaker at one
of the meetings.

BUSINESS DIVISION NEWS
The January 3 edition of The Wall
Street Journal carried a letter to
the editor by LOUIS DRAKE, chairman
of the economics faculty. The letter
was written in response to an article
by Raymond Saulnier, former chairman
of the Council of Economic Advisers,
which appeared in the Journal December 14. We quote:
"The closely written article by Dr.
Saulnier appearing in the Dec. 14
Journal makes a solid contribution
to understanding of the action of
the Federal Reserve Board raising
the discount rate from 4% to 4.5%.
The point is made very simply that
it can be doubted that we can expect a continuous growth rate which
will justify increases in the supply
of money as rapidly as occurred in
the past year. The money supply,
defined to mean currency outside
banks plus demand deposits adjusted,
increased 3.5% since May, implying a
practically unheard of rate of increase of over 7%.
"Some of the reasoning by which Dr.
Saulnier comes to the main conclusion, however, helps to keep alive
the controversy over 'tight money.'
"Dr, Saulnier feels that there is
need to explain how it could have
been possible that there was such

�- 6 an outpouring of money during the first
years of the 1960's without serious inflationary results. Pmong other things
it seems that the monetary and fiscal
policy in the late fifties helped 'expunge an inflationary psychology. 1 It
helped establish a relationship between
wages and productivity, consistent with
stable prices.
"That there was a taut monetary policy
in the late fifties is clear. In the
five-year period from 1956 to 1961 the
money supply grew from $136.9 billion
to $145.5 billion or about 6.2%. Real
gross national product grew by 11.5%,
and the index of industrial production
by a little less than 10%. With an increase in the labor force from 70.4
million to 74.2 million, or 5.4% the
result suggests a growth in output per
member of the work force of about 1%
per year.
"The 'discipline' of a tight money
policy was dealt out for the economic
system to catch the renegades responsible
for excessive annual increases in wages,
through collective bargaining. Not all
economists are agreed today that such a
blunderbus treatment is adequate.

"On the other hand, the increase in the
rate of expansion of the money supply in
the 1960's, while not visibly affecting
either money turnover or prices, seems
to have had a marked effect on growth of
national real income. In contrast to
the leveling effect of the late 1950's
from 1961 to 1965 real gross national
product rose 21.7%. To short-circuit
the statistics, it boils down to an annual increase of 3.5% per year per member
of the labor force.
11

The statistical evidence of the 1956 to
1961 and the 1961 to 1965 periods seems
to be consistent with a hypothesis that
in neither period was the economic system
fed so much money that the rise in gross
national product evaporated in markedly
higher prices. Some, but not all, of the
evidence in 1965 suggests that the problem

of what to do about the recalcitrant
labor unions ~vho insist that their
wages must rise faster than can be
justified by the increase in labor
productivity is still with us. Yes,
perhaps even some of the industries,
who may be perfectly happy to sell
at the existing price, but feel that
it may be the public interest that
their prices should be higher, to
'attract sufficient capital, 1 may
be difficult to deal with by general
clampdown on bank deposits.
"Dr. Saulnier's conclusi ons seem to
stand for themselves. The route by
which he got them could stimulate
a lot of controversy. 11

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

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&lt;: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.

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.
The same article &lt;'las used for a speech

in Nebraska.
• . • HAROLD CUTRIGHT spoke May 18
at a dinner meetinG of the MadisonBond County Banl~ers 1 Federation.
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."

Research at the State University of Iovm
that his article, "I:lew Economic Thought

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

discussed changing educational requirements and methods calling for an evaluation of administrative practices in
Illinois schools. 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. • .
Operational
functions should and must be reserved to
the local districts. The state board and
the county superintendent's office should
not engage in any operational or management functions over the public schools."

film as an art form exist~ at a lower
level of abstraction than a painting
or a novel. "Hence, the critical stand-

ards for films should be different than
those used for paintings and novels," he
said. "The most fruitful way to approach
films," he continued, "is not as translations but as objects in their own right
and to compare films to films." His argument, he said, was based on an analysis
of immediate experience as follows: 11 Thc
characteristics of the motion picture
experience are verifiable by anyone who
reflects upon his perceptions. The impact of presence, the displacement of
the body, the disjunctive relations to
others and the identification of the
viewpoint of the camera with the eye
of the spectator are all to be discovered within. tl}e_ e)~perience itself."

· "Problems in Interpretation of
Checklist Dat~' is the title of a paper
read by GORDON R. HOOD before the Linguistics II section at the May 8 meeting
of the Modern Languaae Association held
~n Chicago. "As \vith any other research
~nformation," the English faculty chairman said, "the use of a checklist for

obtaining linguistic information introduces problems for the interpreter."
Such problems in data processing linguistic information sometimes result
from word sequence in the questionnaire,
spelling, regional usage, isolated responses, semantic shifts, terms lost or
replaced by themselves and older terms
replaced by ne&gt;v terms, he said. Wood
read an original paper, "Diversity of
Vocabulary as an Element in Dialect
Study," during the annual meeting of
the Linguistic Section, Missouri Academy of Science. The meeting was held
April 24 in St. Louis. "We find,"
said Wood, "that ~the ..study of diversity
is a most useful device in establishing
the presence of dialectal change." In
his paper, he contrasted the uniformities
of three major dialect areas along the
Atlantic seaboard with the complex linguistic patterns in the South which
have been found to be expanding and
changing through the use of the diversity technique. "The key to discovering their changing nature is to interpret the diversities found there."

SOUTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY - EDHARDSVILLE
March 1965
Vol. VIII, No. 3
Mildred Arnold, Editor
Information Service, Ext. 271
Edwardsville, Illinois

SIU TO AID vlAR ON POVERTY
SIU has been named the operator in a
$10,700,000 project to open Camp Breckinridge, Kentucky, as a theater of operations
for President Johnson's war on poverty.
Helping with the 18-month program will be
the University of Kentucky and the General
Electric Company.
James Turner, professor of higher education
and former director of the East St. Louis
center, will direct the project which \vill
bring to the deserted acres and buildings
of the World War II training center in western Kentucky some 2,000 young men who have
been called the "subculture of poverty."
The project staff is being assembled under
the supervision of SIU's academic vice president, ROBERT MacVICAR, and the camp is
expected to be ready to receive its first
contingent of trainees by early summer.
First submitted last fall to the Office
of Economic Opportunity, the University's
proposal is based on the collective experience of all departments in operating a
20,000-student university. It includes
logistical tables for everything necessary,
from buses to bedsheets, that would enable
some 400 training center staff members to
receive 2,000 young men, 16 to 22 years of
age, and help them change their outlook on
life and learn marketable skills. Interviewing of applicants for the 400 staff
positions began March 1.
The staff will receive and process 166 young
men each month who have signed one-year contracts with the OEO representatives in their
home communities and \vho will receive $50
per month to accrue \vhile they are in train-

ing and $30 per month pocket money.
Trainees must have an IQ of at least
90 and no record of convictions for
felonies.
Classes will be small, according to
MacVicar, and grouped around a table
in the dayroom of the living quarters.
"Each instructor \vill have three basic
responsibilities: develop reading,
writing, arithmetic and speech skills,
enhance basic cultural education and
change the values, attitudes and definitions of the students which inhibit
their development."
Basic training, involving three hours
of classroom and three hours of work
experience each day, will continue as
long as it takes the student to become
ready for the next stage, that of learning a skill.
His work details will be varied so he
will have an insight into several skills
and the opportunity to demonstrate his
aptitude. Fh csc II will find him spending more time learning and practicing
his skill.
"At the end of ten months to a year
the youth will be ready for graduation,"
MacVicar said. "He will find a place
in the large culture commonly called
the 'American Society' and will have
lost his identity with the 'culture of
poverty. 1 He will have a skill, a job,
and a new orientation to the problems
he will face throughout his lifetime.
"Our proposal is not visionary and
impractical. He realize that attain-

�- 2 -

ment of the objectives of the training
center will be difficult, but certainly
not impossible. The methodology remains
to be discovered. The process requires
the development of a theory, the test of
it by experiment, and the revision of the
theory to fit the experimental product,
just as in any other scientific enterprise. 11

The two banks of beige v ending machines
will include soups, entrees, hot and cold
sandwiches, salads, desserts, coffee, ice
cream, pastry, cold beverages, milk,
candy, and such miscellaneous items as
potato chips. When the University Center
is complete, these vending machines will
be moved to a snack bar in the center
and to other new buildings on campus.

PROGRESS REPORT ON NEH CAMPUS

A complex underground utilities distribution system is virtually complete
and an appreciable amount of the entrance
road is installe.d. b4.t .c.ompletion is delayed because of weather. In the spring,
the first portion of the road system
will be finished, with a parking area
for 2,200 cars and general academic
area grading and walk system. Planting
of trees and shrubs must await the fall
planting season so the initial setting
on occupancy will be somewhat austere,
Randall said. For reasons of economy,
plants will be small and immature.

July 15 is circled on the SIU Architect's
Office calendar for completion of two of
the Edwardsville Campus buildings. They
are the John Hason Peck Classroom and
Faculty Office Building and the Elijah P.
Lovejoy Memorial Library.
In a progress report on construction at
the new campus, JOHN RANDALL, associate
university architect, said that by the beginning of the fall term next September
part of the Science Laboratory Building
"l.vill be ready for use. The Communications
Building, with its theater and broadcasting
facilities, will be complete in the spring
of 1966.
The University Center, which will include
meeting rooms, lounges, a bookstore, recreation areas, and a cafeteria, will not
be ready, he said, until the fall of 1966.
With an estimated 5,100 attending classes at
Edwardsville next fall, it will be imperative to have on campus facilities for eating and temporary dining accommodations
will be made available through a vending
operation in the library basement. The
ordinary vending machine would not do,
Randall said, because university administrators believe student should have wholesome, well-balanced meals and that the eating climate should be pleasant, one which
would allow conversational intercourse
between students and faculty.
A seating area for 346 people will be decorated with coach lanterns and an eight-foot,
floor-to-ceiling screen with inserts of
randomly-spaced color blocks to separate
the dining and serv ice areas.

Other projects under construction include a heating and refrigeration plant
and the adjoining 88-acre lake which
will serve in lieu of cooling towers
for the furnishing of air conditioning
to all academic facilities. A 500,000gallon water tm.;rer, a 350, 000-gallon
clear water reservoir and related water
supply facilities are in progress. The
sewage treatment plant is nearing completion. Installation of extensive
services for gas, electricity and
telephone are in progress by several
utility companies. Because of the
emphasis on evening instruction, a
significant start on general outside
lighting will be ready by fall.
Currently the Peck Classroom Building
and the Lovejoy Memorial Library give
the best picture of future campus character, Randall said. 11 The deep plum
brick towers enclosing mechanical
facilities and circulation are complete
except for cleaning, which must await
spring. Most of the quartz aggregate
faced precast aggregate panels, with
their variegated off-white to plum

�- 3 -

stones, express the functioning academic
spaces and much of the glass, which is
gray to reduce glare, is in place in
offices, entrances and corridors. Hhile
the floors, each of approximately 10,000
square feet of space for the flexible
classrooms, novJ appear to be great halls,
ceilingsand plastering are progressing
and movable partitions will be installed
this spring."
The heavy reinforced concrete structural
work of the Communications Building and
the University Center is rising ab'ove the
ground, all of the heavy concrete caissons
having been completed last December. Besides the extensive underground utilities

system, the most important caissons which
extend about 80 feet through the poor
soil are not apparent to the observer.
"These piers, of two and one-half to
five feet in diameter, have been constructed under very difficult circumstances and are a significant reason
for the buildings not being more advanced," Randall said.
Terracing will be done this spring.
Hith their exposed rocl~ surfaces and
extensive plantings, the terraces will
have benches and will p~ovide a pleasant environmental. ·s et.t ing not only for
the buildings but for informal gatherings as well.

Erection of this 500,000 gallon water tower, which began in December, ~vas cause
of much comment. At one point it resembled a rocket and later an over-sized
golf tee (some even referred to it as a huge champagne glass). Contract for
the tower went to Chicago Bridge and Iron Co. for $187,450. Tragedy marred the
tower 1 s erection January 26 when a steeh;orker fell 80 feet to his death.

�- 4 CREDIT UNION ELECTS OFFICERS
SID's Edwardsville Campus Credit Union,
now in its sixth year, elected officers on
February 13: D. W. Wilton, assistant director of admissions, president; GUS PLATZ,
paint foreman, vice president; JOE SMALL,
associate professor in the Business Division, treasurer; and DAVID RANDS, associate
professor in the Science and Technology
Division, secretary. Elected to the board
of directors were HILLIAM SHAW, WILLIAN
PROBST, ROBERT ECKLES, JERRY BIRDMAN,
GORDON WOOD, KENNETH LOWE, and WILLIAM
SPINK.
In September 1959, several newly-arriving
staff members needed funds to tide them
over until the October paychecks arrived.
Legally the University could not advance
money against paychecks so the Falcon Investment Club offered to lend up to $50
for 30 days at a cost of $1.
As a result of this situation, some Falcon
Club members decided to investigate the
possibility of organizing a credit union
at the Edwardsville Campus. The Falcon
Club had been organized in 1958 by East
St. Louis Center staff members who ~·Tanted
to supplement their incomes and learn something about investments. The necessary
forms were obtained and with University
approval, the Credit Union was officially
chartered October 28, 1959. Of the nine
charter members, six still remain on the
SIU staff: H. H. SMITH, JAMES TURNER (now
at Carbondale), Small, FLORENCE FANNING,
S. D. LOVELL and NEDRA REAMES. The other
members were Robert McDaniel, Milton Byrd
and Beverly Kitching. Smith was the first
president and Lovell the first vice president.
Small has continued to serve as treasurer.
At the end of 1960 there were 64 members
and assets amounted to $4,914. Today there
are 257 members and total assets of $120,000.

WALTER BLACKLEDGE attended the annual
convention of the American Economic
Association and Allied Sciences which
met December 28~30
in the Conrad Hilton

Hotel in Chicago.
. .~ .

On February 1, HAROLD CUTRIGHT
and JOSEPH THORSON talked to the Alton
Rotary Club about "The Kremlin and
Washington." Both men said the prestige of the United States in Europe
is low. "However, on the economic
front, there are signs that new
economic thought is shaping up throughout Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union,"
Thorson said. " bore often now, Lenin
1
is quoted in the Soviet press:
Be
able if necessary to learn from the
capitalists. Adopt whatever they
have that is sensible and advantageous. 1
"The radical change in economic thinking of the Soviet bloc is bringing to
these nations creeping 1 capitalism 1 - a trend toward a profit-motivated
market economy. And there are signs
that the Red-bloc nations in Eastern
Europe are only too ~villing to follow
suit."
Cutright emphasized the importance
and growth of such satellite nations
as Poland, Czechoslovakia, and East
Germany and said their relations with
Russia are more important than Washington
realizes.
Thorson was captured by the Russians
in 1939, tortured by the NKVD and was
later sent to Siberia. When Hitler
attacked the Soviets, Thorson was released and he served as secretary to
the ccnsu l general in Moscow and
Kuibyshev when the Germans "were right

�- Gin Stalin's backyard. I know them only
too well. They were the ones, not the
Germans, who killed over 10,000 Polish
officers at the Katyn Forest."
Cutright said he had met most of the present hierarchy of Soviet leaders and that
he believed they really meant peace. "You
can see why. THice in my lifetime the Germans have attacked them and cut them into
little pieces."
Thorson said he feels that, in the long
run, political considerations will force
the Russians to become an ally of the
United States against China. A former
Polish and British Army officer, diplomat
and management consultant, Thorson is
associate professor of international economics and management at SIU. Both he
and Cutright, visiting professor of management at SIU and president of Glengayle
Associates, New York consulting engineers,
have traveled widely in Russia.

"A Perceptual Approach to Learning and
Behavior" was the topic discussed by
DANIEL SOPER February L, as part of a
visiting lecturer series at the Logopedic Institute, Hichita, Kansas.
Soper met with the faculty of the College of Education·,. 1;'r{thita State University, on February 5 to discuss "Research
Implications of Perceptual Theory."
. • • "A Rationale For Interviewing
Parents" by HANFORD SONSTEGARD appeared
in the December issue of The School
Counselor. Counseling the parent, he
wrote, may be characterized by four
distinct steps. "First the counselor
has to establish a proper relationship
with the parent. Next, he has to understand the parent and his problem. After
the counselor understands the problem,
he must help the parent understand himself and his interaction with the child.
The last step involves reorientation of
the parent. 11
In his article Sonstegard gives a
suggested 10-part outline to ascertain
significant facts about the parentchild rP.lationships. However, he warns
that rigid adherence to a form would
result in a merely mechanical interview~
"devoid of the subtlety through which
the counselor discovers the nature of
the interpersonal relationships existing
between parents and child."
Even though the counselor must establish
a good relationship with the parent during
an interview, Sonstegard says he should
not take for granted the statements made
in answer to the question, "lvhat is being
done about it (the behavior)?" He illustrated his point by citing the case of
the mother who ~vas asl~ed what she did
about her child's ter.tper tantrums. "I
ignore them," the mother said. Hhen the

�- 7 -

interviewer asked her vJhat she meant by
ignoring them, the mother replied, "I
make him get up from the floor and go to
his room." This, of course, could hardly
be called ignoring, Sonstegard points out.
The counselor would have been misled had
he accepted without question the mother's
first explanation."
On February 16 Sonstegard spoke at
the United Church of Christ in Hood River
on "Cultural Change in the Guidance of
Children." On February 23 he spoke at
North Junior High School, Collinsville, to
a group of parents &gt;vho will be serving as
counselors. The group meets once a Heek
for open discussion Hith each other on

reminds the reader of the value of wellspent time. "Remember the 'quality' in
which you spend a minute. One cannot buy
a minute or sell it. A minute is priceless.
It is time enough to thank a man or a woman

ask God for forgiveness for wasting the

How many of us reject today, and fondly

Profile

In subsequent issues of the News Bulletin we plan to brin ~ you short bio3raphical
sketches on staff members who may not have written a best seller, received some singular honor or appeared on the speakin:::; circuit but who are, nonet heless, makin g real
contributions to SIU. If there is someone you would like to see featured, please let
us know.

We are startin~ with CHARLES BUTLER,
secretary to President Morris and 3eneral manager of the central office at
Edwardsville. A native of Harrisbur~,
Butler went to work in Chicago for the
U. S. Treasury Department after hi~h
school graduation and later was associated with IBM in the Merchandise
Mart. From 1944 to 1946 he was with
Uncle Sam's Navy, spending some time
on Guam as a yeoman 2d class.

After the war he enrolled in SIU
at Carbondale and durin ~ his college days was a student worker in
the President's Office. After graduation in August 1950 he accepted
a full-time assi gnment with President Morris. In July 1960 he carne
to the Edwardsville Campus and since
December of that year has been located
in the President's Office on Lewis Road.
An avid reader and sports fan, Mr.
Butler has read enou :::;l1 books that
end to end would extend for hundreds
of miles, and he has traveled almost
that much to see sports events. We
would not hazard a :::;uess on the sports
miles he has traveled via television.
His other hobbies include coin and
stamp collecting . He buys blocks
of every new stamp and has been known
to buy as much as $300 in dimes in
order to look for one of a certain mint.

Charles Butler

Charles Butler doesn't do thin gs
half-heartedly. He ~ ives full measure to his job and his hobbies; since
he is a bachelor, he has time for both.
And under that sometime brusque manner
there is a heart of ~ old (or a silver
or copper coin), as his friends will
attest.

McDERHOTT HONORED BY
FRENCH GOVERNMENT

JOHN FRANCIS HcDERHOTT, research humanities
professor at SIU, was awarded the Palmes
Academiques February 22 by the French g overnment for his research and writings in
connection with the settling of the French
in America. The presentation was made by
H. Renee Allawaert, cultural attache in
the Consular General's Office, Chicago,
in a ceremony held in the new Faculty Center. Both the presentation and the response by Prof. McDermott were in French.

Audubon in the \·lest, compiled and edited
by Prof. HcDermott:, ··wets released early
this year by the University of Oklahoma
Press. In his introduction to the 120page edition on the great ornithologistartist, he describes the plans leading
up to John James Audubon's long-dreamedof exploration of "the Territories Southwest of the Mississippi • . . the Red
River, Arkansas and Countries adjacent."
His Dell-Laurel Editions, The World of
Washington Irving, came off the press
last fall. The February 28 edition of
The National Observer ( p. 10) carried
13 column inches on McDermott's Audubon
in the Hest.
Still on the subject of the first humanities research professor on this campus
--he was in Louisiana March 3-5 where he
r ead a paper entitled "Some Recent Books
about French Louisiana and Some Books to
Come" at the annual meeting of the Louisiana Historical .1\ ssociation. On Harch 8
he was in Carbondale to address the Mississippi Valley Investigations on "The
Historic Role of St. Louis in the De~
velopment of the Basin.''
FROM OUT OF THE FILES

Half French himself, the SIU professor's
ancestors helped settle St. Louis more
than 200 years ago. It Has Prof. HcDermott
who spearheaded The French in the Mississippi Valley Conference in 1964 which kicked
off the bicentennial celebration of St.
Louis. Eight of more than 35 books written
or edited by McDermott and 61 of 150 of his
published articles concern the history of
French America.

The following information was sent for
use in the Civil Service Newsletter. He
think it is worth repeating in the News
Bulletin for faculty and administrative
staff. It comes from a member of the
Physical Plant staff, JOE BOEDEKER, Alton.

ELS PROGRAM PROVES POPULAR
Everywhere you go these days you hear
about ELS--that's English Language Services, Inc., if you haven't heard. SIU
faculty, spouses, and area residents
are taking advantage of programmed instruction in French and Spanish in a
newly-installed electronic language
laboratory at Edwardsville. The laboratory, operated for the University by
English Languages Services, Inc.,

�- 4 Washington, D. C., teaches entirely by
mechanical means, using a method which
is said to approximate most nearly the
\vay in which a child learns his native
language.
language has been broken down into
its basic sounds which have been recorded
on tape by native speakers and keyed to
a workbook. The student first hears each
sound in isolation, then in combinations
E~ch

until t hey form words and ideas. By repeated association of ideas, the method
eliminates the need for memorizing grammatical principles.
Students can study independently and progress at their own rate of speed. Ther e
are no rigid schedules; students may
study at their convenience between the
hours of 9 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. weekdays
and between 8 a.m. and noon on Saturdays.

Some of the language students are pictured here. They are: CAMERON MEREDITH (front row),
head of State and National Services; ~rrs. SEYMOUR MANN and Mrs. ROBERT ERICKSON (second
row); DONAL MYER, assistant graduate dean, and Mrs. JOHN ABBOTT (third row); and SHEILA

which "Inside Stock Trading" was discussed.
on February 5 he spoke to members of the
International Relations Club at Carbondale
on "Land Reform in Iraq."
• • . On January 20 JOSEPH THORSON discussed President Johnson's peace offensive
in Vietnam during his regular monthly appearance on WOKZ's Helen Hamer Walters
Show. Thorson said he thought the offensive would not be successful but that it
was an excellent strategic move on Johnson's
part. The Chinese Communists will fight
as long as they can, he said, to embarrass us abroad and to damage the poverty
program in this country by forcing the
U. S. to commit so much of its economic
resources abroad. On the other hand,
he believes the peace offensive strengthened
our position in Asia because President
Johnson's efforts let Asia and the world
"know where we stand." • • • Speaking to
the Sociology Club February 3 in Lovejoy
Library, Thorson explained the issues
and opinions of education on "Drafting
of College Students and Campus Demonstrations." Thorson feels that not
enough educators and administrators let
students know exactly where they stand
on "the most controversial issues of
today--drafting and demonstrations. We
ought to make it plainer that we do not
consider one kind of behavior just as
good as another."
In mentioning the law signed August 30,
1965, stating that deliberate destruction
of a draft card carries a maximum pena lty
of five years in prison and a fine of
$10,000 upon conviction, he reminded his
audience that Lt. Gen. Hersey, head of
the Selective Service system, says that
of the 2,000,000 college students who
are continuing their studies under student deferments, only one per cent of
them have been involved in staging protest parades, burning draft cards, or
other demonstrations of unwillingness
to serve in the armed forces.
On the subject of demonstrations, Thorson
expressed his opinion that disagreement
should be encouraged as part of the democratic process. "It should be maintained,
encouraged, and preserved. However, those

who demonstrate should bear in mind the
consequences of their protests. Some restraint is desirable--lack of it may indicate a rebellious, wild, and unlawful attitude which could be used by an enemy.
Hasty, irresponsible criticism is harmful,
and can easily be misunderstood as a will
of a majority!"
Thorson pointed out that there is nothing
new about students' demonstrations. What
is new, he said, is the part professors
are taking in these demonstrations. "This
is a very unhealthy phenomenon. I question
the wisdom of those professors, who, regardless of their pol~tical leanings, publicly support the ~ s.ttidents 1 cause, whatever it may be!
Professors' public appearance changes
the character of a demonstration; it
gives much stronger stand to the demonstration and puts some label on the professor, whether he likes it or not • • •
I am equally critical of professors taking
part in political demonstrations and expressing their views on the foreign policies, in particular those who have little
knowledge about foreign affairs. None of
us, even those qualified to express their
professional view, have a complete knowledge of what is going on. The newspapers
are quite often misleading and they do
not have first-hand and up-to-date information. Besides, it is impossible
to publish a number of things because
of security reasons. Thus, a professor
should exercise restraint and good judgment while speaking publicly. • • . I
might add that a professor should not
forget that he is an educator, that he
should be respected for his wisdom,
guidance, knowledge, and impartiality!"

This is the second book on which the couple has collaborated. The first time
they produced One Blood with Dr. A. M.
Hintz of Seattle, which is currently
being used by many colleges and churches
to help resolve conflicts through the
practice of brotherhood. Democracy and
Quality Education has nine chapters,
the first eight of which are built
around an education principle. The
ninth chapter contains 23 guidelines
for educational progress. According
to John M. Fewkes, past president of
the American Federation of Teachers, who
wrote the foreword, law citizens as well
as educators will profit by reading this
book. The eight principles and the 23
guidelines provide "a sound and clear
way of achieving quality education by
democratic means.'' U. S. Senator Wayne
L. Morse of Oregon secured permission
from the authors to quote more than 60
pages of the book for the hearings he

caused Dr. Ralph Hunter to cancel his plans
to come to St. Louis on November 26. Chairman Sister Madeleine Sophie finally succeeded in engaging Dr. Leonard Van Camp,
director of choral activities at Southern
Illinois University in Edwardsville, as a
substitute.
As is not often the case,
this replacement turned the near catastrophe into a 'happy fault.'

"Dr. Van Camp, a youthful, dynamic, and
pleasant person, soon had the 102 participants aware that he had much to offer
and a readiness to give. He established
an easy rapport with the students selected
to work with him, and demonstrated for
the teachers practical techniques and
procedures. With his already rich background and his propensity for hard work,
we precict that Dr. Van Camp will go far
in the choral field. The workshop members were in agreement that it was one
of the most beneficial vacation days they
had ever spent, and Sister Madeleine
Sophie remarked that it was the 'most
successful thing that has ever happened
to us.'" . • . An article by Van Camp

HUMANITIES DIVISION NEHS
January 26 the University Religious Council sponsored a forum on the subject, "Is
Pornography Literature?" Speakers were
JOHN ADES and Douglas More (Social Sciences
Division), who discussed the topic from
their respective points of view. More
suggested that pornography was literature
since "it gets into print and is (and has
been) widely read." Ades argued that
literature "aspiring to that designation
must do more than be erotically stimulating
and that whatever goes no further than to
stimulate in such a fashion may be reckoned pornography but not literature."

discussion, which was continued with the
30 students present.
