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

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

The Muse won in the 5,001 to 7,000 enrollment of fulltime students. Founded in the school year 1960-61, the six-year-old Muse won second class ratings during the first two years and first class awards for the subsequent three years. ACP judges emphasize excellence in editorial and pictorial content in five areas which they consider basic functions of a yearbook: memory book of students, record of the year, public relations medium, student project, and reference book. Effective use of originality, imagination and ideas distinguish them from books which receive lower ratings. Mrs. George Arnold, adviser, and the new editor, Shirley Fuller, and associate editor, Ginger Dustmann, were in Philadelphia October 20-22 for ACP conference.

Inclement weather, a temporary interruption in the paving of the parking lots, and students' lack of knm1ledge of the geoGraphy of the ne•v 2, GOO-acre campus were blamed for keeping enrollment below the expected 4,000 mark. All ready for use were the $3,630,000 Elijah P. Lovejoy :tlemorial Library and the $3,500,000 John l1ason Peck Classroom and Faculty Off ices Building. The remaining 4,000 enrolled at the Edwardsville campus complex this year are attending classes at the Alton and East St. Louis teaching centers. Host of them are freshmen and sophomores or science and fine arts students. The science laboratory and classrooms building is scheduled for completion in January.

Until the center is ready, food service at Edwardsville is provided by Servomation in the library basement. The elaborate vending machines have hot and cold buffets, sandHiches, and all kinds of desserts. A dry run of the operation was made on September 22 when University personnel were guests of the vendinG machine company and the University Center noard. The cafeteria is open Nondays throuch Saturdays from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and on Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. The entire 200-acre central academic core >vill be a "pedestrian campus," with traffic limited to service and delivery vehicles, and some of these will use underground ramps. The core is reached by a road which prov ides access to Hiehway 157 (formerly By-Pass 66) at two points. Among the unusual features of the buildings are the placement of all stationary elements, such as stairways, rest rooms, J Some 3,000 students enrolled this fall for classes on the Ed,·m rdsv ille campus. �- 2 - Until the University Center is complete, elaborate vending machines set up in the basement of the new· library will provide hot and cold buffets, sandwiches, desserts, and drinks. elevators and mechanical equipment, in towers around the edges of the structures. This leaves interior spaces free so that movable partitions can easily be rearranged to accommodate classes with as few as 12 or as many as 200 students. The library has carpeting through most of the building. Research financed by the Ford Foundation showed this would not only reduce noise but would prove cheaper in the long run and easier to maintain than conventional floor covering. The library also has the world's EDWARDSVILLE CANPUS HOLDS ITS FIRST SUMMER COMMENCENENT EXERCISES For the first time in its eight-year history, the Edwardsville campus had enough summer graduate candidates to warrant an August commencement program. In other years summer degree candidates have gone to Carbondale to receive their degrees. On August 2G, President DELYTE W. MORRIS conferred degrees on 276 candidates. The list of degrees included 176 baccalaureate degrees, 98 master's, and two associate degrees.

GOinG came to SID's Edwardsville campus when it opened in the fall of 1957. An English scholar, he came as a full professor in the Humanities Division. The following year he was named dean of instruction. His title was changed in 1963 to dean of academic affairs. Vice President of Academic Affairs ROBERT MacVICAR said, upon announcing Dean Going's request to return to full-time teaching, "The University is deeply indebted to Dean Going, and I am pers.onally very sorry that he '"ishes to step down from a post he has filled so admirably. HovJever, he has expressed a strong desire to do more teaching and to conduct research in his special field of concentration, in which ne'' sources of information have recently become available." Hilliam Going Author of two books and numerous poems, articles and boolc reviews, Prof. Going has a special interest in the Victorian author and poet Hilfred Scawen Blunt.

The presentation was made last spring follmving announcement that Prof. Stephens and his wife Justine and daughter Barbara were going back to the Carbondale campus where he served n ine years befor e coming to Edwardsville i n 1961. His decision to return to full-time teaching and research was a loss to the adminis tration, which he served in several capacities, but a gain for the students who will learn under this dedicated teacher. "After all," he said in comment :Lng on his request to be relieved of his vice presidential duties, "I earned my doctorate in education so I could teach."

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

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

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

HUMANITIES DIVISION NEHS A 14-essay volume on The French in the Mississippi Valley edited by JOHN FRANCIS McDERMOTT vvas released this summer by the University of Illinois Press. The opening essay, describing myths and realities concerning the founding of St. Louis, vvas Hritten by McDermott, a specialist in American cultural history who has vvritten extensively on French lore. John F. McDermott Three of the papers center on the city of St. Louis. Charles E. Peterson, architectural historian, provides in his essay an illustrated description of the houses of French St. Louis. Dorothy Garesche Holland, descendant of French from Santo Domingo, devotes herself to St. Louis families uho came from the French Hest Indies in the 1790's and later. Charles Guenther, poet and translator of contemporary European poets, presents an otherwise unreported French poet in early 19th century St. Louis. Related closely to the city are papers written by Joseph P. Donnelly, S.J., and Frederic E. Voelker. Donnelly'' s paper concerns Father Pierre Gibault, who served in the French villages of the old Illinois Country east of the Nississippi. In his essay, Voelker goes. vzes.t to the Rockies with the French mountain men who were either St. Louisans or worked for St. Louis merchants in the fur trade. • . • GEORGE LINDEN's article, "The Film: Remembrances of Things Present," appeared in the May issue of the l3ucknell Review.

Linden also addressed recently the student group of the Berea Presbyterian Church in St. Louis. His speech was entitled "A ~~hether Forecast" and concerned an analysis of the various analogical arguments used in philosophy to try to establish the existence and nature of Diety.

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

Ill �- 12 • • • A monograph on Horld Har II and the war guilt question by KURT GLASER has been published by the MarienburgVerlag of Huerzburg, Germany. Published as a small hard cover book under the title 11 Der Zweite Heltkrieg und die Kriegsschuldfrage," the monograph analyzes problems of historical judgment raised by the California historian David L. Hoggan's diplomatic history of the outbreak of Horld Har II, Der Erzwungene Krieg, and by the storm ~academic controvery which that book provcked in Germany. Glaser observes that although Hoggan and his critics are at swords points as to who was mainly responsible for starting Horld Har II, they are tncitly agreed that whoever did start it is the villain in the piece. Precisely the latter proposition needs to be re-examined, Glaser writes, and this re-examination leads to a necessary revision of the judgment recorded in the Nuremoerg Trial. Glaser's study was aided by a research grant made available through the Graduate Council of SIU, enabling him to go to California to consult American scholars involved in the controversy. Inasmuch as the argument about responsibility for World Har II has its focus in German academic circles, Glaser wrote his manuscript directly in German. PAUL GUENTHER of the Humanities Division advised him on questions of literary style. In addition to teaching a full load during the summer quarter, Glaser also completed his part in preparing the manuscript of l·l estern Policy and Eastern Europe, which he edited with David s. Collier, director of the Foundation for Foreign Affairs, Chicago. The third in a series edited by Collier and Glaser, it is a collection of articles by American and European scholars adapted from papers given at an international conference in Chicago last March. Glaser has also written a book revie•.,r of Michael Balfour's The Kaiser, Hanna Vogt's The Burden of Guild (a history of the Heimar Republic and the Third Reich), and R. H. Leonhardt's ~ Germany: the Story Since ~ Third Reich. Hritten at the request of the editors of Modern Age, it will appear in the fall issue of that publication. STUDENT SERVICES NEHS THOMAS W.

Prior to that he served two years as head resident adviser at Michigan State UniThomas Hansmeier versity, where he received his doctor's degree in college student placement work. A native of Haukon, Iowa, he earned his bachelor's degree in social sciences in 1954 and his master's degree in guidance and counseling in 1957 from the State College of Iowa. Hansmeier is also an associate professor in the Education Division. He and his wife Jean have two children, a son, Martin Eric who is eight, and a daughter, Hendy Jean, five. STATE AND NATIONAL SERVICES DIVISION NEHS LOUIS WATERS, field representative for Community Development Service at Edwardsville, was in Bethel, Haine, this summer where he participated in the Community Leadership Training Laboratory sponsored by the National Training Laboratory of the National Education Association. �- 13 Waters was a member of a team from SIU which included Uilliam Miller, consultant, and Richard Johnson, research assistant, both from the Carbondale office. The laboratory trainin 0 program provided a variety of experiences in interpersonal relations, group development, problem solving, decision making, and organizational relationships, Waters reported. "An important phase of the laboratory was a human relations training group, referred to as a 'T group' or 'sensitivity training group.' This intensive group experience leads to new understanning of oneself and one's relationships with others, as well as to the development of personal insights and skills in inter-personal and group relations." • • • LOUIS BOBKA, supervisor, and LILA TEER, consultant in the East St. Louis office of Community Development Service, were part of a team from SIU which conducted a session at the Fourth National Seminar on Community Development of Urban Areas held this summer at Rutgers. Other members of the team were Robert Child, assistant director of CDS, and Jim Rea, consultant at Carbondale. In developing the topic, "Community Development in a Small Town and in a Large City," Rea spoke about small town development and Babka and Mrs. Teer discussed development in an urban area. In his introductory remarks, Child presented the approaches to the two kinds of development. It was generally agreed that university-oriented community development efforts have had their major impact in rural areas, in small towns, and through our aid program overseas. The seminar was sponsored by the Community Development Division of the National University Extension Association, of which Child is a division chairman. • • • Following approval of a Federal grant of $399,000, The Neighborhood Youth Corps program got underway in East St. Louis. Purpose of the program is to give summer jobs in 65 public and private non-profit organizations in the area to those falling in the 16 to 21 age bracket. CDS, throuGh the Council of Neighborhood Units of Co~unity Progress Incorporated, and with the help of the Adult Education School, found placements in seven neighborhood units for 65 of these Youth Corps workers. Jobs included clerical work, supervisinG recreation, and conducting a four-part community survey. The areas of the surveys included housing, sanitation, community services, the impact of DPI and of the Adult Education School on the community. Youth Corps workers worked up to 30 hours a week at $1.25 an hour, which meant a total income of more than $2,000 a week for nee.9y. yputh in the area. • • • JANE SCHUSKY, research associate with SIU's Public Administration and Metropolitan Affairs ProGram, appeared August 7 on Parker Hheatley's television program, "Eye on St. Louis." Mrs. Schusky discussed with vfueatley results of a study she made in 1963 on "Public Awareness and Concern Hith Air Pollution in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area." In cooperation with the national Opinion Research Center of Chicaco, Mrs. Schusky and her staff surveyed some 1,002 households in St. Louis, St. Louis County and St. Clair and t~dison counties. Results of the survey, announced at a press conference Aucust 3 by Mrs. Schusky, showed that more than 90 per cent of the respondents felt some governmental agency should do something about air pollution in the area. St. Louis County residents were found to be the least bothered by air pollution and residents of St. Clair County the most bothered. An advance report on her findings was given in June by Mrs. Schusky at the Air Pollution Control Association's conference in Toronto. • •• A second conference for Public Housing and Building Officials was held July 18-21 at Pere Narquette State Park. State and National Public Services, cooperating with Technical and Adult Education and Community Development Service, provided sponsorship for the seminar which dealt with the "Horkable Program for Community Improvement." Present �- 14 were public housing and code enforcement administrators from around the state and several Federal representatives from Public Housing, Urban Uenewal and Federal Housing administrations. According to NORMAN JOHNSEN, conference coordinator for State and National Public Services Division, the conference topic was selected as the basic theme 11 for it effects and relates to housing, urban renewal, planning, code enforcement, relocation and other interwoven activities. Hithout the clear understanding and support by the community, a v10rkable program becomes a study in futility. 11 • • • Three members of Placement Service were in Cincinnati September 12-15 for the 16th Annual Conference of the Midwest College Placement Association, DAVID VAN HORN, MAX HANSEL and Mrs. ANNABELLE SHEPPARD. Hore than 960 persons from business, industrial firms, and placement directors from midwestern colleges and universities attended, making it the largest conference for attendance in 16 years.

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

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

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.

Lovejoy Memorial Library stands Rodin 1 s ''The I·Jo. lking Han. 11 Francois Augucte Rene Rodin uas born in Paris in November of 1840 and lived until the same month in 1917. His early training was received at the Petite-Ecole du Dessin and the Gobelius school. Rodin's long, controversial career be gan in 1864 with the Salon's rejection of his sculpture, "Han with a Broken Nose. 1 1 In 187 5 he went to Italy, where Hichelangelo's tortured, unfinished shapes emer g ing from rough marble blocks affected Rodin' s own style. Hith the acceptance of his "Age of Bronze" in 1877, Rodin's work be gan to be recognized and preserved in the Rodin Huseum in Paris. "Hhere markets are reasonably perfect, such as the securities market, pricing or valuation is a simple procedure of using market quotations," Cohen stated in his paper. 11 hany difficult problems arise in valuating certain types of properties, such as major industrial concerns and public utilitiec, which rarely exchange in the market. "The valuation of all types of property is a very technical business which requires well-qualified, honest personnel , " he said. "This is also crucial when one recognizes the dependence the cour ts place on the role of the assessors, including the so-called judg ment factor . . . . And especially is this important in ascertaining values, where mathematical certainty is not po s sible, but competency is of the essenc e . 1 ' �- 6 . . . At the fall conference of the Illinois Business Education Association held in Springfield November 4-5 a research bulletin edited by MARY M. BRADY was dis tributed.

A summary of ELISE PALMER's doctoral dissertation was published in the Alpha Epsilon Delta Pi Epsilon Journal. Her s tucly, "Development and Evaluation of MultipleChannel Dictation Tapes in Beginning Shorthand Classes," was one of 14 selected in the United States to be submitted for the Delta Pi Epsilon Elise Palmer award for outstanding research in business education. Another recent publication of Mrs. Palmer's, "Significant Research Findinr:;s in Shorthand and Transcription," appeared in the Illinois Business Education Association publication, Si~­ nificant Research in Business Education. This article was based on a speech g iven by her at the IBEA meeting of the 36th Annual Illinois Vocational Association Convention. . . . Two articles by JOSEPH M. THORSON have been accepted for publication. They are "Pricing in Foreign Trade in the Soviet-Type Economies" \vhich will appear in the spring issue of Busine s s Horizons, and "Poland 1 s International Trade, l9Lf6-63," >vhich Hill appear in the December issue of the American Economist, International Section. The latter article, an abstract from his doctoral di ss ertation, uses Poland as a point of illustration in examining some problems in foreign trade pricing . �- 7 - "There seems to be some validj.ty to the slogan of 'Polish trade offensive,'" says Thorson. "The international trade of Poland has been growing steadily in recent years. As far as its geography is concerned, Poland's foreign trade continues to be a highly concentrated affair. As much· as 61.0 per cent of the export and 61.2 per cent of import concluded by Poland in 1964 was with the Soviet-bloc nations. Hence, only 39 per cent of export and 33.8 per cent of import of Poland finds its way at present outside of the Communist camp. "It is worthy of note that Poland has of late been expanding its trade with nonCommunist countries somewhat more actively than its trade inside the bloc. During the 1963-64 period her trade turnover with the Industrial Best increased from about $950 million in 1963 to over $1 billion in 1964, and the newly-developing countries from $223 million in 1963 to $272 million in 1964. "Poland has traditional trade relations with the West. She needs trade for a number of reasons: (a) The West is a producer of a very high quality of goods not available on the CEMA market, but badly needed for industrialization; (b) trading contracts with the West give Poland an opportunity to learn the high technology of the Hest and at the same time employ highest efficiency in its own industry; and (c) trade with the West in relation to other trading partners places Poland in a better bargaining position. "However, a continuous shortage of hard currency and difficulties in obtaining new loans and in meeting payments were some of the factors that produced problems for Poland's economy. Inability to raise exports to pay for imports vJas also responsible for Poland's redirection to trade with the Bloc nations, especially with the USSR. "The appreciation of trade '"ith the developing countries is important because Poland needs direct sources of raw mate- rials. She needs to gain nev1 markets for her industrial products, particularly machines and industrial equipment. So the expansion of trade with the countries retarded in their economic development is beneficial to Poland. In view of the fact that this expansion is limited by Poland's possibilities as regards both exports and imports, it is necessary to concentrate on some selected countries, which offer prospects of a development most advantageous to both sides. ''There is very little evidence to suggest that Poland 1 s·· foreign trade will become West oriented again, as in the past. Undoubtedly, the Soviet Union and the Socialist bloc will remain for Poland both a source of industrial raw. materials and a market for her expanded output of industrial products. However, the more liberal trend toward trading with the West is visibly in offing in the Soviet bloc, at least for the present. Small nations like Poland, short of hard currency, are trying to improve their balance of payment position, and to demonstrate some 1 independence' from the Soviet sphere of interest. "Nevertheless, there is very little likelihood that the Polish regime will concentrate on trade decisions based solely on the economic factors. Unfortunately, in many instances, the latter will be outweighed by political considerations." Thorson is appearing every four weeks on the Helen Harne Walters Show over DOKZ. His first discussion was on October 13, his second on November 17. The unrehearsed, audience participation program is heard Honday through Friday from 9:15 to 10:00 a.m. EDUCATION DIVIS ION NEviS Four members of the division participated in a program on the Governor's Committee on Literacy and Learning held �- 8 October 19 at Holiday Inn, Edwardsville.

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

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

They were able to examine the equipment and to interview the scientists directing research on missile assemblies, lens effects on criticalities, properties of the DNA molecule in cancer cells, pilot plant research on the desi gn of the proposed new proton accelerator and the Sherwood Project. Through the "Exper i men t in International Living" the Parri-lls Mere invited to join a charter fli ght to Europe with a plane load of colle ge students returning to Europe after a visit in the United States. Stops were made at Gander, Newfoundland; Keflavik, Iceland; Copenhagen, Denmark, and Amsterdam, Holland. The Parrills then took a train trip to Hanover, Germany, where they picked up the Volkswagen bus "to use in university hopping , camping and to visit their daughter, RosaLee, an Air Force nurse at Toule Rossieres Air Force Base, II France." The first university visited was Koln "where members of the chemistry staff were very hospitable and generous of their time in showing off scientific equipment and research in progress." The University of Bonn was host to Gesellschaft Duetscher Chemiker durin g the stay there. "The University of Heidelberg was not only great in tradition but was nearing completion of extensive building pro grams in chemistry an d physics. Freibur g was both beautiful and traditional. Most impressive wa s the University of Zurich where Einstein taught and where he derived the now famous equation which they are tr y ing so hard to capit a lize on at Lo s Alamos. A most enlightening an d gratifying experience was th e visit to Das GmelinInstitut FUr Anor ganische Chemie und Grenz gebiete in der Max-Planck-Gesells chaft, Frankfurt am Mai n to observe �- 16 - efforts to classify and or~anize the tremendous volume of chemical information being publi she d throu ghout the world. Professor Dr. Eirch Pietsch, director, was seriously ill and Dr. Isa Kubach served as hostess and personal GUide. The University of Frankfurt is woefully congested and crowded by the tremendous industrial comple x that has grown up around it. Plans are being studied to move the entire operation outside the city." The return trip to the States "was also made by university, The University of Seven Seas equipped with dormitories and classrooms for about 900 students and a course of study that take the 'university' around the uorld each semester.'' . ROBERT PENDERGRAS S was one of the speakers at the Southvles tern Sectional Meeting of the Illinois Council of Tea chers of Mathematics which met in Greenville October 22. Speakins on "Probability and Statistics in the Hi3h School," Pender grass defined statistics as "the science of decision making in the face of uncertainty." He discussed some common uses and some abuses of statistics and commented on popular opinions on the subject. "Stati s tics is generally admitted to be an analytical tool of i mportance in all of the sciences. Widespread applications of statistics to problems of everyday life seem to be resultin ~ in some acceptances of an opinion expressed by H. G. Wells that 'Statistical thinkin g will one day be as necessary for efficient citizenship as the ability to read and write. 111 In order to develop the necessary knowledge of probability and statistics, certain topics should be taught at the hi~h school level, says Pender grass, who presented a seventopic outline for such a hi gh school course. "Physic s and the Fine Arts" was the subject of a paper presented by HILLIAM SHAhl at the conference of the Illinois Section of the American Association of Physics Teachers which wa s held October C at Aurora Colle ge. Shaw said tha t phys icists shoul d find -vmys to make phys i cs fun, useful and practical to the non scientist. "Thi s can be done ~vi thout r:1ak ing content trivial," he sa i d, and illustrated by references to "Physics of Music and Acoustics," a course which he has tau gh t twice at SIU. Shaw also discussed other courses of interest to non scientists, such as "History of Phy s ics," "Physics of Li ght and Color," "Physics of Home and Shop," etc. He emphasized the importance of the realization that physics today is indeed a part of human culture. "Let's Abolish X" was the somewhat facetious title of a talk by Shav1 before the Chicago section of the American Association of Physics Teachers held November 13 at the new campus of the University of Illinois. He made a case for reductions in ambiguity and r _e_d vnp_a p_cy in the notation employed in some physics textbooks, especially those used for general studies courses. He also mentioned the simplifications introduced by the use of a notation he first introduced in 1948 for indicating powe r s of 10, now becomin ~ more common in the physics literature. At a meeting of military engineers November 9 at Scott Air Force Base, Prof. Shav7 spoke on "Sea Animals and Submarine s . 11 SOCIAL SCIENCES DIVIS ION NEvJS "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<ocal' -groups to attract industry to their communities are spurred by declining job opportunities on farms. In some areas, replacement of obsolete facilities and equipment with lower labor requirements has displaced workers, or failed to provide additional jobs for an expanding labor force." The new edition of The World Book Encvclopedia contains the article on Missouri to which Collier cont~ibuted. . . .

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

She is also an SIU-E night student working toward a degree in English with a minor in library science. Tom Hammond is a divorced father who works full-time as a deputy sheriff in Madison County. He realizes the need for law enforcement officers to have more than a desire to enforce the law. That is why he is a part-time student at SIU-E majoring in Human Services. He wants to understand the sociological and psychological motivations of crime, so he can work more effectively with criminal situations. ' Like Hammond and 9irter, about 1700 SIU-E students are over the age of 30. Of this number a little over half are women, according to the registrar's office. The over-30 student returns to or begins college for three general-reasons. One group is made up of persons who feel a need to return to college because they find · ,• themselves at an impasse in their careers. They can go no higher on the promotion or money scale and find they must seek other, more opportune job possibilities. This group makes up the majority of night students attending SIU-E. ·They hold full-time jobs, often have families, and spend two to four nights -' '\ Ga,ySuhl a week attending classes. Changing careers is often a heartbreaking, desperate move, but the majority of older students fitting into this category find the return an enlightening, even refreshing venture for their general outlook on life. Probably the largest over-30 group is the housewife and mother returning to school after a long absence raising chil­ dren. These mothers do not return out of boredom due to chil­ dren attending school; they return to fulfill their own potential. A University News Service article which appeared in area newspapers during the fall quarter 1974 told the stories of several housewives returning to school after a long absence. One woman interviewed from St. Louis County looking back on her 28 years as a "household engineer" said, 'I enjoyed it, b,u t now it's time for me." The third category of over-30 students includes those persons who have retired from one career and are seeking something worthwhile to fill their time with, whether it is the aim to get another job or not. To get an idea of the breakdown of over-30 majors, the Admissions Office at SIUE ran a computer print-out of a sampling of 859 students in this category. The vast majority listed their major as undecided. Most of these students were 56 Gary Suh/ �taking less than eleven hours, the amount required for a full­ time student. From there the majors broke down into much smaller fragments with the greatest concentration in elementary education (60). The two nearest to this were business administration (51) and accounting (46). These two concentrations are most ideally suited for over30 students, according to the departments, because age has little impact on job opportunities. From these major concentrations the number decreases rapidly. Psychology numbers 32, nursing 29, special education 27 and management science 23. After these the concentrations break down ·into scattered groups. Mathematics, music, engineering and art each have small groups of over-30 students. How does the older student get along with his fellow younger students? Very well, it seems. From the older point of view, Mrs. Rena Altenritter, in the University News Service article, said that 19-year-olds do not look down on mature students in the university classroom. Nursing major Camilla Laughlin (above} studies in the library. Older students listen to a Goshen Lounge deb9te. (opposite page}. Mary Anne Tillman (foreground} is leaning toward a mass communication major. Behind her is Verlin Smith, also a mass comm student. Next to Smith is his wife Doras who is not an SIU-E student. "Young people are much more encouraging for us to do our own thing (hat our own peers," she said. From the regular college-aged student, much ·the same opinion is expressed. Mrs. Vickie Heinemeier, a 20-year-old civil service worker who takes courses on .campus, said "Older students are not shy, they speak out when they have an idea or an answer. I think they care more than younger students .do about learning. They want to learn." Larry McNamara is a 21-year-old senior majoring in busi­ ness administration. He sees many older students in his classes and believes they have advantages over the younger students. "In business the older students have a big advantage because they are already out in the business world and know what is going on." Many reasons bring the over-30 student back to college, but all the reasons eventually focus on the essential purpose of SIU-E - learning. 57 �Over-30 students Everett Davis: back to school after 40 year break Text by Marty Heires Sitting behind a desk in the reference section of the library, 56-year-old Everett Davis looks more like an instructor than a student. He is attired in a green turtleneck sweater and dress slacks, and his checked sportcoat and overcoat are draped over a study desk behind him. He studies a book on the desk in front, which makes his dark, heavy-framed glasses all the more pronounced and does little to hide his sparsely covered pate. But Davis is not a teacher, and on this Monday morning he is doing what other conscientious students are doing, resear­ ching a term paper. Even though he has been away from college for years, education is not new to him. He comes from a large family of eight children who were very academically inclined. , "I have two brothers and two sisters who have retired out of the school system," he says. Indeed, if it were not for World War 11, Davis himself might now be a teacher, playing the part which he, appearance-wise, is so well suited to. He began studyingt for the teaching profession at SIU-C in the 1930's before enlisting in the lllinois�ational Guard. He ser­ . ved in the guard for five years, working his way up to the rank of captain at the close of the war. He and his wife, Kathryn, had already had their first son, Mike, by the time Davis completed his service. He then did not consider the teaching profession a very promising vocation. "I was not too impressed with the income teachers were making at the time." But Davis has always regretted not finishing his education and now, after an interlude of over 40 years, he is back, really back, 24 hours-a-day worth. Until the fall quarter, 1974, he had only been able to attend SIU-E on a part time basis and in so doing picked up eight classes. After fall quarter he now finds himself just a few hours away from a B.A. in English. Of course 40 years is a long tirhe to �ait before returning to school, and no one knows this better than Davis. te·rtain things always held him back. One of the most important was money. "I could not take off and go to school without any money coming in," he says. "The reason I am able to do this now is because my wife is working. She has been for the last 15 years." Davis says that he is also at a stage in life where mo.st major financial predicaments are behind him. For instance, he has only his 21-year-old daughter, Mary Kay, at home. She attemls McKendree College in Lebanon on a music scholarship. Son Mike, 29, works for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Naples, Italy. Bruce, 17, is working on .� master's degree at the University of Missouri at Kansas City. Bob,:who is 19 and married, attends the Gateway Bible College in St. Louis. Davis, a longtime insurance agent and resident of Collins- 58 ville, says he has just recently been able to take the time to complete his education. "My wife has thought all along that I should go back and get a degree," he says, "but you get caught up in the stream of life and any thought of jumping out and going back to school is out of the question." "No one thing made me come back. The urge is there and then you go." Davis says he felt he owed it to himself to finish his college education because his four brothers and sisters have master's degrees while his son Mike is nearing completion of his B.A. and Bruce is getting close to his master's. Now that he is back, Davis has not only experienced little difficulty, but is enjoying himself immensely. "I do not think anybody with a reasonably active mind should have any trouble going back to school. It has always been easy for me to learn. I have a quick mind and a good memory." �Davis thinks the only trouble a returning student might have is when a course he is taking is based on a prerequisite course which he might have taken years ago. The only trouble Davis has had was when he was attending classes on a part time basis, he occasionally did not have time to complete all of his reading assignments. That's not a problem now. "\ climb right into the pages of a good book," he says. "\ get much more pleasure from reading than I do from watching movies or television. My ultimate hope is that I get a chance to read all the great books that I have never had a chance· to read." But it is also this great ability that Davis has in literature that he feels is not one of his more endearing qualities. He sometimes feels that he is talking too much in class·and that the younger students are just waiting for him to make the first move. He is not afraid to make a mistake, but feels the same is not true of most other students. Davis is also aware that his viewpoints are sometimes in direct contrast to those of the other students in the class. On several occasions, he says, he felt like a real outsider whom the other students considered a reactionary, while he considered the other students too liberal. "In my years I have found that people have to ac­ commodate themselves, to some degree, to the world as it is," he says. "This is the main area of difference between my view­ point and that of the other students." Everett Davis finds little difference between students regardless of age. Davis (above) discusses an assignment with some of his younger classmates. At top of page, Davis relaxes with his piano at home. But all-in-all Davis is really excited to be with and arnund young people, and even though his opinions are sometimes opposed by the .younger students, he says such clashes do not occur very often. Have students given him any trouble because of his age? "!,ell no.. Most people have been very con­ siderate of me and h,ave appreciated being in class with me as I have appreciated being with them." Then too, Davis is in senior level cl.asses and most of the students he comes in contact with mean business because graduation is near for them. Davis freely admits that he is pretty im­ pressed with his classmates. As for developing friendships with those classmates, Davis lias really not had the time to get to know anybody very well. When he was going to school part time he was kept busy by his insurance business. Now with a huge class load he has little time for anything but studying. He describes his relationship with students in his classes as "a little bit like the fleeting friendships I made in the military during World War II. I met many wonderful guys during the war and I used to correspond with about 20 of them. Now I ge't Christmas cards from two of them." He attributes this difficulty in getting to know people to the metropolitan flavor of this campus, and to the way people tend to go around as a "sort of faceless group." It is from his four children that Davis says he has been albe to get-what he considers a good insight into the way younger people think. Indeed this insight must have increased Davis' enjoyment of the educational experience. He loves both people and ideas and says, "In my present state of mind I can't visualize that I would ever quit going to school." 59 �,George Gregory A 73-year-old SIU-E student Text by Janice Law George Gregory, an anthropology ma­ jor at S/U-E, is 73years-old. Here he is shown relaxing at his Litchfield, Ill. home. Davis recently joined a car pool so he would not have to continue driving 40 miles to class each day. 60 After 56 years of working for the railroad, George Gregory switched tracks and took on another role - that of a full­ time student. Not just as another student, mind you, but as the oldest student at­ tending SIU-E. George Gregory is 73years-old. Or is it 73 years young? Gregory is a junior at SIU-E and plans to graduate with a bachelor's degree in an­ thropology after the spring quarter of 1976. "After graduation, I may go on for my master's . SIU-E does not have a master's program in anthropology, so I will probably do my graduate work in history which is my minor," he said with pride. A resident of Litchfield, 111., Gregory retired from the railroad in 1972, and in the spring of the same year registered at SIU­ E. "I always wanted to go to college, but never had the opportunity as a young man," he said. He had to quit high school in 1916 due to his father's death. His older brother was with the Army in France at the time, so as the second oldest in a family of six he took his first job at the age of 15 as a railroad agent. "Within a few months after my retirement from the railroad my wife died and this left me at loose ends. My daughter then suggested that I begin college since I had always said that I wan­ ted to. This sounded like a good idea, so I did just that." The Assistant to the Director of Ad­ missions at SIU-E, D. W. Wilton, was Gregory's first contact. Wilton said that one day in March, 1972, Gregory. walked into his office and told him that he was 71-years-old and wanted something to do with all of his time, so he had decided to come to SIU-E to study archeology. �Over-30 students Wilton was both amazed and im­ pressed. He explained to Gregory the procedure to follow regarding his ad­ mission and registration at the university. Since Gregory had never completed high school, he was required to take the General Educational Development Test (GED), which is accepted as a substitute for the high school diploma. Gregory passed the GED test with high scores and then, with some hesitation, registered for 11 quarter hours of General Studies classes. Wilton said that though Gregory was a bit apprehensive at first, he adjusted beautifully within a few weeks, and he remains a very energetic student. Gregory has made straight A's several times and maintains an overall grade point average of 4.23 with 116 hours completed. When choosing his major in the spring of last year, Gregory had to settle for an­ thropology since SIU-E does not offer a major in archeology. Born December 26, 1901 at Karnell, Ill., Gregory has lived most of his life in the state. While working as an agent and operator for the Wabash, and·the Norfolk and Western railroads, he, travelled ex­ tensively in Illinois. His travelling has provided interesting background for his an­ thropology studies. "I had to choose anthropology as a major in order to study. archeology. I've always been interested in archeology, and I had read ·a lot about it before I ever star­ ted studying at SIU," explains Gregory. He has worked at the excavating ·sites in an Indian Village near Cottage Hills, Ill. for the last two summers with fellow an­ thropology students and·Dr. Sid Denny, an SIU-E anthropology professor. Gregory's main interest lies with North and South American anthropology. He especially enjoyed the research he did for a class paper he wrote on the problems of the Brazilian Indians. When asked about his reaction to the young kids of today, he commented, "I don't think there is any basic difference between the young kids of today and the young_ kids-I grew up with. There are some that have habits that I don't like, but there were also kids with habits I didn't like when I was growing up." Gregory has felt at home at SIU-E almost since his first day on campus. "The kids at school treat me just like another kid, and that's fine with me." He attributes his success as an elderly college student to his vast amount of previous reading. "I read my whole life, and college is just more reading," Gregory said. Although Gregory claims reading as his favorite pastime, books do not monopolize his time. Occassionally his evenings are spent working as a desk clerk at a motel near his home, and many of his weekends are busy with fishing or hunting trips. Litchfield is located 40 miles north of the Edwardsville campus, and until last quarter when he began riding in a carpool, he drove himself every day regardless of the weather. It was reported that during last winter's ice and snow, he did not miss one single day of classes. Distinguished as the oldest student ever at SIU-E Gregory is described as a delightfully interesting individual by fellow students and friends. 61 �Over-30 students Return to school is worth the trouble By Nora Baker A few dozen people applauded. I had just been elected president of a local women's liberation organization. I made a brief speech about women moving into the mainstream of life, about them fulfilling their potential to the best of their abilities. As I spoke, I felt decidedly uneasy.What was I doing to live up to my words? Earlier that same day, a dozen different people had applauded my winning fifth prize in a local bridge competition. What was the difference? I thought. I didn't deserve applause for either event. While I truly believed in the cause of women's liberation, I was not an outstanding member. Most of the other women possessed multiple degrees and were working at challenging, worthwhile careers.I was a college dropout twenty years ago. For a long time, I had been killing time, aimlessly drifting. I had held a variety of jobs whenever times were lean, but mostly I stayed home, prepared gourmet meals, and did \ needleworl<. I nurtured lovely potted plants. I bought antique bric-a-brac. .,, When we moved to Edwardsville three years ago, I was impressed by the number of older women who were enthusiastically taking courses at SIU. These were mostly on the graduate level, but the preponderance of women my age who were getting out of club and volunteer activities because of the pressures of education was impressive. One day, half as a joke, I suggested to my husband that I, too, might go back to school. To my amazement, he was enthusiastic. I abruptly changed the subject and said nothing more for the next few months. I had always wanted to be a journalist.When I first entered college in 1951, I was discouraged from this on the grounds that it was no career for a lady.I was steered' into ia liberal arts program. 62 After I married, I discovered at' the local em­ ployment agency just how valuable a year of college with a concentration in liberal arts was. They put me to work in a factory. I always wrote. At one time, I supported my family by churning out true confessions under a number of pseudonyms. My ego was boosted when I wrote for little magazines.I got nowhere. The immediate catalyst for my return to college was a visit from my nephew. He had made plans·to enter SIU-E and I helped him with the preliminaries. At the last minute, however, he changed his mind and returned to his home on the east coast.The idea of college had now become fixed in my mind. My major fears were of ridicule and hostility. How would young students react to me? Could I compete? Was my mind so stagnant after twenty years of nothing more challenging than balancing the family budget and reading cookbooks, that I would be unable to concentrate, to memorize, to absorb? Would younger students resent me? Laugh at me? I prayed they would simply ignore me. From the beginning, the encouragement of my family has been a major factor in my continuing education. Without them, I could not have gone to school.My husband and teenage sons have been truly supportive, making tremendous sacrifices and changing their way of life to help me. My fears about fellow students were un­ founded.From the first day, I met nothing but frien­ dliness and help. I needed help that first day, literally having to be led by the hand through the confusion of registration and textbook rental. During that quarter, I didn't know many people. I never set foot inside the University Center, feeling too alien and out-of-place.I realize now this was in my own mind. I was embarrassed because I was older than most of my professors. I was secretive of the fact that I was friendly, socially, with many faculty wives ... afraid of seeming pushy or seeking favoritism. I yVas rrght about mind stagnation.I had to read everything four and five times before it remained · 'fixed in my brain. I developed an ulcer. I lost a lot of sleep. Memorizing facts became a traumatic ex­ perience. My second quarter, I met a lot of people I had been in classes with the first quarter. We now had something in common ...survival.I began to make a few friends.I saw people to say "hi" to. We now use a lot of TV dinners and frozen piz­ zas at our house. Beds don't get made unless the owner wants the bed made and does it. I used to turn socks inside out for the laundry so lint wouldn't show on them; now, we all have linty socks. My sons brag to their friends about my ac­ tivities, their friends' mothers have told me so.My husband admits he's "proud of my guts." My mother does not complain so much that "at your age, you should forget all that nonsense and con­ centrate on my welfare." Our house is no longer a hotel for every relative in the continental United States. I haven't had a decent night's sleep since I star­ ted all this over a year ago.I've dropped out of a lot of clubs and I don't go to church very much any more. I don't attend PTA meetings. I've developed a second ulcer and I'm a vitamin junkie. I've lost seventeen pounds. But, when I graduate, when all the worries, pressures, frustrations, aggravations, bad food, long hikes from the parking lot in incredible bliz­ zards, deadlines, exams, crises are finally over . I'm going to miss it. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Jan, his wife, is snuggled under the covers while Saleem sits up in bed to get in some study before an exam on this Friday. At 7:30, Jan prepares blueberry muffins for lunch later. Saleem loads up the car with books and other things needed today. After the cat is tossed outside and the dog tied up, the Salaymehs drive the short distance from their Edwardsville trailer to the campus. Jan goes to the library basement where she takes a shower. Saleem brushes his teeth in a University Center men's restroom. There hasn't been water at their trailer for six weeks because of the winter's hard freeze.

Such is the lot of George Hasenstab, ·a 24-yearold senibr from Belleville. Hasenstab, a tel~v_ision­ radio major, has two part-time jobs, both related to his field of study. · · On campus, he does videotaping for the physics department. Off campus in Alton, he works at Cablevision, a cable television station. ·"The jobs aren't exceedingly difficult," Hasenstab says. "It's just that they take up a lot of time. There isn't always too much lift to spend with people you like." His day begins early, as he must drive to SIU from Belleville, about 25 miles away. Breakfast is consumed in whirlwind style in the utility room of Hasenstab's not-so-lavish basement apartment. It can consist of anything from coffee and doughnuts to Cold Duck and chocolate chip cookies. "I eat whatever is around that isn't rotten or stale. Sometimes I eat that too." .... �Story and photos by Jim Wolfe Above: Hasenstab has a lot of things to keep him occupied in-between physics department taping, in this case a flexible lens. Top: Breakfast can be anything from coffee and doughnuts to Cold Duck and chocolatechip cookies. �During Hasenstab's campus activities are pretty much like those of any SIU student: classes, tests, staying awake. Frequently, mornings are spent in and around the television studio in the communications building. Hasenstab has been spending a good deal of time in the film editing room, putting the finishing touches on a short film he helped produce. On many afternoons. he dwells in the basement of the sdience building operating the physics department's color video cassette system. Subjects are usually lectures by physics instructors about a variety of topics, like the operation of a computer terminal. After his on-campus day is complete, Hasenstab heads for Alton and Cablevision. There he performs a number of duties: operating cameras for the evening's newscast, assembling and tearing down sets, and running the switcher which is a video mixing consol. _.. �He likes working at the station. "I'm working with young, talented people. The program director is only 24, but he's really sharp. Working nights, I don't get to do a lot of production, but I do pick up a lot of things. My boss doesn't believe it, but I do." Often his shift at Cablevision extends into the early morning hours. Alone and somewhat weary, he monitors the equipment to make sure that something is being piped out to viewers. At times, his tight schedule can cause problems. "The girl I'm dating now works weekends, and I work nights. We don't get to see each other too much which is probably why the relationship is going so well." After Hasenstab tucks the cameras of Cablevision into bed for the night, he makes another journey to Belleville for a few hours rest . Clockwise from upper left: Hasenstab edits film in the television studio complex in the Communications Building, prepares the evening's newscast at Cablevision, rests a bit after a long day, and awaits quitting time at the Alton studio. • • • • �This quarter's clinic is a good hour's drive away. It's early, true, but Candie and her carpooler Pat always make the best of it talking with the sun rising behind them. ;;:;._ Candie leaves for clinic before the sun is up. At the hospital she takes a patient's blood pressure and makes notes from her patient's medical charts. 12 �Candie: a nurse. learning, caring, sharing '• Photos and story by Alan Schneider At 5:15 Tuesday morning in a modern townhouse complex in Belleville, a solitary light appeared from a second-story bedroom. It wasn't prowlers or a mother startled by her baby's cry, but an SIU nursing student starting a typical day of clinics. While music and anthropology and other students slept, Candice "Candie" Schwarz donned a white uniform, downed a quick breakfast and, after checking husba11d and baby, walked quietly through the morning darkness to her car. This quarter's assignment: a medical-surgical clinic at Christian Northeast Hospital in Spanish Lake, Mo., a good hour's drive away. She enjoys the trip. It's early, true, but she and her carpoolef, Pat, always make the best of it talking with the sun rising behind them. 13 �'I can't imagine just learning from books and then going out and being a nurse.' It was about 7:15 when the two girls walked through the lots to the hospital where, inside, their wide-awake-for-the-most-part fellow nurses gradually became a tight group of six plus instructor. At that point Candie already knew her patient to some extent. Though they had never met, Candie knew her patient's condition and how to administer treatment from research she had done the night before. The student nurses met with their instructor, Mrs. Ruth Gresley, in what is called "preconference." Here, questions of "what," "how" and "why" were posed to each student. ., "Nursing is pretty demanding," Candie said. "You can't just go to class once and show up for the tests. You have to be prepared in order to understand what's wrong and what the treatment is." With graduation and a career only a quarter away, Candie, 24 years old, takes the clinics seriously. "I can't imagine just learning from books and then going out and being a nurse," she said. "I'd need some experience in a hospital atmosphere to build confidence in myself and to learn how to relate to patients." 14 �A seemingly lifeless hand hung over a bedrail represents the less-than-pleasant conditions which often accompany life as a nurse. One of the more enjoyable daily moments includes browsing in the hospital gift shop on lunch break. 15 �'I let him scribble one day while I was reading, but (the pen) started going to his hair and his mouth and pretty soon he had little blue dots all over his head.' ., 16 �After checking the patient's charts, Candie proceeded down the long hallway to look in on her assigned patient, an elderly women with terminal cancer. " Hello, Mrs. . . . Can you hear me? .. . My. name is Candie " . . No use. The patient was in a semi-coma. Simple care could become a problem, but she began it, nevertheless. · · Giving insulin.

Later in the evening Candy and her husband find time to talk and relax. 17 �Night students live in a world devoid of the sights and sounds that "normal" daytime students are accustomed to. Besides coming to school at night, these students often have full-time jobs during the day which, as in the case of Pat Dineff, are hectic and keep them on.the move. Pat Dineff is an elementary music teacher at Logan and Niedringhaus schools in Granite City. She teaches 11 classes at Niedringhaus ·and 12 at Logan School. She takes night ~lasses in hope of getting her master's degree. Durtng winter quarter Pat had her night · classes on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. Pat's typical day begins with a quick breakfast gulped down with briefcase in hand and a short two~ 18 �19 �Photos and story byTimVizer 20 �block drive to Niedringhaus School. With a different class coming every 25 mintues, a challenge confronts her daily. The classes are taught in the cafeteria "classroom" in the morning with an hour break for lunch and then back to more teaching. After a day of teaching Pat goes home for supper with her parents and then prepares notebooks for a night class, Co·mmunity Chorus. The twohour-long singing class is composed mainly of people who, like Pat, have demanding daytime jobs. The life of a night student is different. It has a touch of adventure to it, in an on-the-go world. • • • • 21 �Continued from page 17 Lunchtime came quickly. Giving a daughter time alone with her ailing mother, Candie descended nine floors, via elevator, to the snack bar. "After we eat, Pat and I always go across the hall to the gift shop," Candie said. "We find lots of goodies but we never buy a thing. And during the whole break we just talk, talk, talk." The break, of course, never seems long enough, but a patient's care isn't usually something that can wait. Therefore, back on floor nine Candie repositioned her patient to prevent bedsores. She attempted to feed her again. She supplied the woman with a new I.V. bottle and took her vital signs for the second time that day. When necessary, Candie and the other students asked for the assistance of their instructor and the ·staff nurses. "The staff nurses trust our judgment a lot," Candie said. "But they're also willing to help if something is new to us. They respect us." "And Mrs. Gresley is always around during the day to give her support. If you're doing something for the first time and you're already nervous, she doesn't make it seem like a big ordeal. She really has a calming air about her. She'll say 'Oh, relax. It'll come to you' or 'Oh, you can do it.' " "And besides that," she added, "I like her sense of humor.'' ~ At 1 p.m. Candie · and h~r fellow students checked into the nurses' station again, this time to chart ~ their patients' progress and the care administered. From there they gathered together for a postconference where each student riurse;'shared whatever information she could about her patients. A·nintern • • 1n nurs1ng. 46 Postconference ended a somewhat hectic Tuesday at clinic for Candie, but all was ready for the evening shift nurse to take over. One hour after postconference Candie was back home playing with Chad, her one-year-old boy. "I miss him so much when I' m gone," she said. "He's really fun - not a drag on me at all.'' "I can't wait until he's old enough to color because I used to just love it," she said. "I can see us now: 'Chad, let mommy do the last page,' and 'Mommy, why don't you outline your pictures?' and 'Mommy, you used up . all my black crayon.' " • ' Being a full-time student, wife and mother isn't easy for Candie. When she comes back from school or clinic her time is taken up with laundry and cleaning and trying.to be with Chad as much as possible. Then there is feeding time and bath time, and by then it's time to make supper. The schedule doesn't allow much time for homework before 8. "Chad starts chewing on my books if I don't pay attention to him while I'm studying," Candie· sa,id. "So I let him scribble one day while I was reading, and ~e just couldn't believe the thing in his hand was making designs. But the'n it started going to his hair and his mouth and pretty soon he had little blue dots all over his head.'' This night we(lt quickly after John came home from work. After a late supper, Chad, sluggish, was put to bed. John and Candie then had some time together. And, in a modern townhouse in Belleville a solitary light shone late. Two silhouetted figures had stories to tell and dreams to share. . • • • • � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

(Immediate right) In a small, converted bedroom at Tower Lake, illuminated by a bare bulb, Mark works out daily, lifting weights in . order to prepare himself for the track season when he throws bo.th the shot put and the discus for the SlUE team . Mark hopes to reach World Class status in the discus, which would help him qualify for the U.S. Domestic Olympic team. (Far right) After his eight hours at the child care center , three hours of 'throwing' in a gymnasium and one hour of weight lifting, Mark takes time to play his banjo and relax with his wife, Sue, in their apartment. • �Mark Mueller: ,; A student with ambition . �Monica Sharp Mapping a life in Geography �I NV OL V ED is t he one word which mi ght best desc ribe 2 1-year-o ld Mrs. Mo ni ca Oli szews k i Sh arp 's st ude nt life at Sou t hern I llin o is Uni ve rsity in Edwa rdsv il le.

He says the experience and enjoyment he gets out of working in archaeomin erology is enough of a reward. Mitchell, 26, hopes to get his double master's in earth science and environmen tal studies . 'T il f.inish "in June or August ... hopefully sooner, probab ly )ater ." Between now and then, Mitchell has plenty to do . When he's not in one of his two classes, he's probably working in ' · the S I U E Archaeological Laboratories. That is, when he's not serving as a teaching assistant to Charlotte Frisb ie of the anthropolo gy department . What's next after graduation? Mitchell isn't sure. Maybe he'll try for a Ph.D. "I really feel the type of work I want to do requires further background ," he said. Or maybe he'll just go out into the job market. He may teach at the university level or do research work. "I like to be versatile," he said . �Me lis sa Curry~ Invo lvem ent, in class and out, equa ls success Melissa Curry believes public contact and work outside of the classroom are as important to her education as the classwork itself.

In addition to the two staff members appointed the previous semester the addition of approxi­ mately thirty (30) full time faculty and administrative staff would be essential. In addition to this, another twenty (20) full time staff mem­ bers would need to be added in the first semester 1957. A large num­ ber of call staff would be required to properly service this program. It would be anticipated that qualified administrative staff would teach where time permits. �4 -2 Clerical, maintenance and custodial staff would need to be added.

In Alton and East St. Louis the program should be more nearly like that done by Washing­ ton University or what they call University College work. Types of program would be almost unlimited. University: There will be a duplication of facilities under the option service we will still have the Broadview Hotel room and the Shurtleff campus. However, possibly, the Community Development Department could take up the slack at a more rapid pace. Special considerations: Study and augmenting Library at Shurtleff and provide for library facilities in East St. L,ouis. Shurtleff Library operates in coopera­ tion with the Alton Public Libraries based on a foundation grant provision. This arrangement might possibly be carried on under new manage�ent. Organization Chart under option 3 sets forth the special types of services that would be essential to put the program on a par with the campus activity. Budgetary Needs: Spe:dal consideration in providing adequate travel funds for visits by administrative and department heads to the campus is essential. 0. C. E. funds should be generous enough to allow for adequate tele­ phone communication from area to campus. A' direct line to the campus over which conforerice type ·calls, etc.· would be both eccirior:hic · ahd convenient in coordinating. Figures are available on this item. �5 -1 Option 5 If the Shurtleff campus does not become available and the East St. Louis High School Building is 1:ot availa�le, the reverse of Option 3 might be expected with slight reductions bacause of limited facilities in Alton. �Approach A: Approach B: Have approval of campus to allow University to carry on with basic program as outlined by Shurtleff for second semester. Change to Quarter system to take place in Summer 1957 Program. Change to a quarter system immediately substituting our courses and curriculum with a twelve and six week program. The six-week program to a concentrated program with fewer courses. From an administrative standpoint, student security and understanding as well as faculty preparation, Approach A seems to be both academic­ ally and adminstratively sounder than Approach B. Staff:Problem: It is extremely important that our campus departments be in accordance with the individuals retained from the Shurtleff staff. Therefore, it would probably be ill-advised to take the total group without careful screening. At the same time, there are a number of good reasons why we should take as many of the staff as possible, other than the acute shortage of college teachers. It would be good public relations to take as many as possible. While the administration of Shurtleff has not handled staff dismissals as one might desire, they have managed to rid the school of many of the weaker members. Since these individuals do have a contract for the remainder of the year, we should use them if possible if we were to take the school over. It is probabl� that the ordained ministers will either leave or become part of the proposed Baptist Foundation. Administration: While this may seem premature, careful consideration should be given to the overall administrative relationship that the division will have to the campus. It is better to try and clear these matters up before they become a problem. As a personal note, I'm extremely anxious that the fanulty and department heads at least feel that they are a part of this program so that they will give it their enthusia�tic support. �., 3 -4 Estimated Enrollments: (Summer 1957 and 1958) All programs 1957 - 100 1958 - 350 University Facilities: Office Space in the Broadview Hotel, Until first semester 1957.
