CHELSEA BAILEY LEAVES SIU After two years as Supervisor of Industrial and Adult Education at SIUis Southwestern Illinois Campus, Chelsea Bailey resigned, effective July 30. On August 1 he returned to his old ,lob in Cincinnati where he was Director of Relations with Industry for the Ohio College of Applied Science, He had been away from that job four years, two of which were spent in Baghdad, Iraq, pioneering a new technical school. During his two years at SIU Baileyis imagination and enthusiasm built a fine program. Most of the readers of Industrial News Bulletin know personally of the success of these programs. Two years of vigorous service were capped by a July vacation on the snow-white beaches of the Virgin Islands, where he visited his daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren. In leaving, Mr. Bailey expressed his confidence in the IndQstrial and Adult Education programs and his gratitude to his many friends in industry and at SIU for their contributions. The cheeriness, blarney, and vigor of this traveling Yankee will be missed l We shalt always be indebted to him for putting the Industrial Management Program on a good solid working basis. Good luck, Chels l .. ..·. .. . .. ~- ,~.: . E. R. CASSTEVENS TAKES OVER INDUSTRIAL AND TECHNICAL PROGRAM On August 1, as Chelsea Bailey left for Cincinnati, Ohio, Emery R. Casstevens, formerly of Ford Motor Company and Proctor and Gamble, officially assumed his duties as Supervisor of the Industrial and Technical l?rogram . Casstevens, an Annapolis graduate with a degree in engineering, has been active in industrial training in the metropolitan area for the past thirteen years. Prior to that he spent eleven years in the Navy, including four years at the U. S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland. University teaching is not new to Casstevens. His experience includes teaching at the University of Michigan, Miami University in Ohio, U. S. Naval Academy, and, more recently, Washington University, Also of value from a training standpoint is the wartime experience of having trained the crew of a new ship and then, as commanding officer, taking the ship to sea for extended duty, once with a sub chaser and once with a destroyer-escort. Another highpoint in his training career he says, was pre-production training of the supervisors and crews for four new chemical plants while with Proctor and Gamble. Recently he has been teaching in-plant courses in the Industrial and Adult Education Department on a call staff basis. During the past three months he has completed a specialiy tailored course in "Industrial Report Writing" at Monsanto Chemical Company and three courses, also tailor-made, on "The Supervisor and His Job" at A. 0. Smith Corporation. "The emphasis in all in-plant courses," Casstevens says, "is to design the course to suit the specific needs of the plant we serve. " BAILEY'S DUTIES SPLIT IN ORGANIZATION CHANGE The duties of Chelsea Bailey, Supervisor, Industrial and Adult Education, have been split up in an organization change effective with Bailey's leaving August 1, 1959, according to Dr. Harold W. See, Vice-Preaident, Southwestern Illinois Campus. Emery R. Casstevens will be responsible for the Industrial and Technical Program, while the Adult Education Program will be split between Robert W. Duncan, Supervisor of the Alton Evening College, and Virgil L. Seymour, Supervisor of the East St. Louis Evening College. • Casstevens' duties will include In-Plant Programs; the Industrial Management Programs at Granite City, Alton, and East St. Louis; and the Technical Program. The Adult Education Program deals with adult programs of a non-industrial and non-technical nature . . �IN-PLANT COURSE GENERATES TWO MORE An in-plant "pilot" course on ''The Supe rviso r and Hi s Job" at the A. o .. Smith Corporation generated enough interest that Paul H. Kelly, Training and Safety Supervisal, decided to schedule another. At the appointed time, Kelly, Chelsea Bailey, and Emery Casstevens, the instruc tor, gathered in the Conference Room to regi st er the prospects . Encouraged by word-of-mouth reports of the "pilot" course and the company's policy of a twothirds refund of tuition for successfully completed courses, over thirty-five prospects enrolled, The group had to be split into two classes,, a fine example of what good promotion, a sound company policy, and a well-conducted "pilot" program can do . . Both courses are now completed. Kelly had this to s ay of the r esults : 11 We feel that this course and others conducted by SIU have made a sizable contribution to the improved performance of our plant during the past year, We have received a number of requests for other courses of this type from the supervisors who participated." INDUSTRIAL REPORT WRITING COURSE FOR MONSANTO ENGINEERS Thirteen chemical engineers and supervisors of Monsanto Chemical Company's_\Wllllam G. Krummrich Plant completed an in-plant "pilot" course in "Industrial Report Writing" on June 10, 1959, Like all in-plant courses, it was tailor -made to suit the particill'at needs of the plant, Through arrangements with William A. Crutcher, Training Director , several conferences were held with plant management to design a course of practical value aimed at the specific needs of the group. The course was taught by SIU's in-plant instructor, E. R. Casstevens. The emphasis throughout the twelve two-hour sessions was on practi ce with individual coaching, Commenting on the value of the "pilot" course, Mr. Crutcher said, "Co-operation between the SIU staff and plant management produced a course content that ke pt class interest at a high level. Co-operative measurement of results of the instruction indi ca te s it has been effective and has provided leads to changes that will make future use of the inst ru ction even more effective." EDWARDSVIJ... LE CAMPUS SITE GROWING The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville campus site has now grown to 1115 acres, Dr. Harold W. See, Vice-President for SIU's Southwestern Illinois Campus, announced on July 7, 1959, The University hopes to have 1800 acres pur chased by the end of the summer, he added, See said that in addition to the land already. purchased, owners of 80 more acres of land had received official notices of intent to buy and that the Univer sity was working to acquire additional land as funds become available.

See, vice-president of the university's Southwestern Illinois Campus, said April 27, 1959. Speaking at a meeting of the Madison County SIU Alumni Club, at Alton's Horace Mann School, See revealed that the University's centers in Alton and East St. Louis were faced with an enrollment of more than 4, 000 students this coming September, He stated that all available houses were being converted into classrooms to accommodate the enrollment for this coming year, but that after 1960 many prospective students would have to be turned away for lack of accommodation. "Because the SIU centers cannot continue to accommodate the present rate of growth in enrollment, the communities in Madison and St. Clair counties have joined forces to work for an expansion of university facilities here in keeping with the area's importance as the second largest concentration of population and industry in the state," he said. PROGRAM PARTICIPATION Educationhas been described as an investment in the future. Local companies who have a:ted on this principle are listed below in the order in which their employees have participated in the Industrial Management Program and the In-Plant Program of SIU. It is interesting to note that many of these forward-looking companies also have made substantial gifts to the Edwardsdlle Campus Site Fund. �TECHNICAL ANDADULT REGISTRATION BY COMPANY September 1958 through June 1959 Number Company A. 0 .
