UNIVERSITY ACQUIRES RODIN 1 S HALKING MAN The most significant sculptor of his time, the French sculptor had a strong influence on sculpture in the early 20th century. BUSINESS DIVISION Nm 7S Illinois has been a pivotal state in winning more equitable property tax assessment for railroads, LEO COHEN told the annual conference of the National Tax Association meetin~ in New Orleans early in November. Cohen said it is apparent that d the monumental achievements in Illinois are affecting the situation in other states, although complete victory is far from won in many states, especially Arkansas, West Virginia and Hyoming." He cited a number of Illinois Supreme Court cases decided in favor of railroads which had claimed excessive or discriminatroy assessments. In most cases, the courts have held that railroad property was overvalued by the assessors, or that rates on railroad operating property were not equalized with local property rates. In the skylighted three-story well in the Elijah P. Lovejoy Memorial Library stands Rodin 1 s ''The I·Jo. lking Han. 11 Francois Augucte Rene Rodin uas born in Paris in November of 1840 and lived until the same month in 1917. His early training was received at the Petite-Ecole du Dessin and the Gobelius school. Rodin's long, controversial career be gan in 1864 with the Salon's rejection of his sculpture, "Han with a Broken Nose. 1 1 In 187 5 he went to Italy, where Hichelangelo's tortured, unfinished shapes emer g ing from rough marble blocks affected Rodin' s own style. Hith the acceptance of his "Age of Bronze" in 1877, Rodin's work be gan to be recognized and preserved in the Rodin Huseum in Paris. "Hhere markets are reasonably perfect, such as the securities market, pricing or valuation is a simple procedure of using market quotations," Cohen stated in his paper. 11 hany difficult problems arise in valuating certain types of properties, such as major industrial concerns and public utilitiec, which rarely exchange in the market. "The valuation of all types of property is a very technical business which requires well-qualified, honest personnel , " he said. "This is also crucial when one recognizes the dependence the cour ts place on the role of the assessors, including the so-called judg ment factor . . . . And especially is this important in ascertaining values, where mathematical certainty is not po s sible, but competency is of the essenc e . 1 ' �- 6 . . . At the fall conference of the Illinois Business Education Association held in Springfield November 4-5 a research bulletin edited by MARY M. BRADY was dis tributed.

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.

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.

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. . . .
