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. The followinG spring the communications building ,;rill be ready for use and in the fall of 1966, a University Center •·l ill be opened. " ·' ' ..., ·.. ·.• · . ·~ . 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.

The Peck Classrooms Building is named for the pioneer educator who founded the first institution of higher learning in Illinois, Rock Spring Seminary between O'Fallon and Lebanon. \vas HOHARD DENE SOUTHHOOD, head of the Education Division, who chose for his topic "Other Dimensions . " Last spring (June 17) nearly 500 students receiveddegrees from President Morris and heard Harold B. Gores, president of the Ford Foundation's Educational Facilities Laboratories, deliver the commencement address. Gores worked closely with the University in early planning stages of the new campus and his agency contributed funds toward the research that went into development of unique equipment and fur- �- .., .) nishings for the science and library buildings.

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. His doctoral dissertation at the University of Michigan, later published, dealt with Blunt's sonnets. He has also compiled and edited a book of 99 Fables by Hilliara Narch which was voted one of the outstanding books of 1960 in an annual competition open to publishers in the southern half of the country.

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." The Stephens' younger daughter, Barbara, is a freshman this year at SIU in Carbondale. Their married daughter, Rebecca,is married and lives in Dayton,Ohio. �- l:. - SCHNABEL CHAIRS CO:l'1MITTEE JOHN SCHNABEL has been named chairman of the Facilities Utilization Committee of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers.

BUSINESS DIVISION NEHS "Real estate, like death or taxes, is sure to enter into the life of everyone in either buying, renting, or leasing a place to live. 11 On this premise, the 1li\LTER BLACKLEDGES wrote an article entitled, "Give Your Students Reality in Realty," which has been accepted for publication by Business Education Horld. In their article they explain the importance of every individual's knowing the basic elements of acquiring a home and how to find one that Hill fit his particular needs and Hishes, at the same time acquiring it as economically as possible. The authors developed ·va:tious techniques which they believe will acquaint the student Hith the required information to utilize in searching for or buying the right home. The final technique developed a method for selling a house when the owner is suddenly transferred or is forced to move to another area. The article is to be published during the current academic year. LEO COHEN has been asked by the National Tax Association to prepare a report on recent court cases involving railroad tax litigation. The report will be presented at the Association's convention in November and 'tvill be published in the annual proceedings next spring.

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. Bear is currently a member of the Alton School Board. • • • ERWIN BRINKMANN's manuscript entitled "Programmed Instruction as a Technique for Improving Spatial Visualization" has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Applied Psychology.

Purpose of the Summer Institute in Individual �- 7 and Group Counseling \-las to prepare counselors to work effectively in an elementary school setting .-Jith special competence in counseling elementary school children, teachers, and parents in groups. • • • An article co-authored by Sonstegard and Leland Hott of the State University of Iowa entitled "Relating Self-Conception to Curriculum Development" appeared in the April issue of The Journal of Educational Research. 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.

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." This preoccupation with the unity of God ha~ reduced the Trinity to the status of dogma from Augustine's point of view.

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. HANSMEIER came to the Edwardsville campus this fall as assistant to Dean of Students Jack Graham from Kent State University, \lhere he had served one year as assistant executive dean. Hansmeier went to Kent in 1960, and there he served first as assistant dean, then as dean of men. 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. The next conference will be held in St. Louis. Van Horn is co-chairman of the Registration Committee for the September, 1966, meeting . • • • Van Horn advises us that his office has on file a number of positions in which faculty wives might be interested. There is no charge for this service, he says, and faculty and family are welcome to use the service. His Edwardsville number is 692-2800.

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 ..
