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

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

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