F-A-C-U-L-T-Y N-E-W-S~L-E-T-T-E-R Next week Thursday afternoon the Southern Players Touring Company of SIU will present "She Stoops to Conquer" at the Alton Residence Center. The student players, organized six years ago, spend the entire fall quarter touring southern Illinois. During this quarter the students-all juniors or seniorstake no other subjects. Each player gets to play several different parts during the quarter and also takes his turn as make-up man. The players even make some of their own costumes and scenery so that when they go out later as teachers they ~ how to direct school plays. There will be no admission charged for the performance at the Alto.n Residence Center which is open to students and faculty. In other towns; where they are sponsored by civic groups, they get a percentage of the box office receipts. The idea is to break even, according to Jess W. Turnbow, who handles their booking from his office in Carbondale. One of the players acts as business manager, handling all of their fiscal matters, and a graduate student drives the bus which carries them and their scenery. Dr. Archibald McLeod, Speech Head, Carbondale campus, selects the plays presented by the group, and he or other members of the speech department travel with them. Chelsea Bailey, supervisor, Division of Technical and Adult Education, told the East St. Louis Rotary Club Wednesday about his more than two years in Iraq. Bailey, a rotarian, was one of the three organizers of the Rotary Club in Baghdad in 1955. He says that on their first ladies' night only the wives of Americans and other Westerners showed up. On the next ladies' night a few Iraqi wives attended; but on the ladies' night held just before Bailey returned to the United States, two-thirds of the wives were present. Bailey pointed out that Baghdad is a city of contrasts. While it has beautiful homes, half of the people live in mud huts much as they did at the time of Christ, except that they have kerosene stoves now. Baghdad is surrounded by desert. Its temperature goes to 126 in the summer, and there is no rain from May until October. Last week Dean Willis G. Swartz, Graduate School, Carbondale, District Governor of Rotary, addressed the same club. · Rotarian Swartz was introduced by Rotarian Harold See. �- 2 A picnic for the students and staff of the East St. Louis Center is scheduled for this evening at the Grand Marais Club House, 6:30 - 11:00. According to the office of the park, the route is as follows: Take State Street north to 73rd. Go right on 73rd to the main entrance of Grand Marais Park. Follo\v signs to parking lot for club house on island. Tom Evans, student affairs, East St. Louis, said yesterday that a wiener roast (as well as non-meat refreshments), will be followed by juke box dancing. This is the first all-student activity planned by the student advisory committee introduced at the 11:00 a.m. assembly at the State Street Baptist Church. Dr. Laurence Mceyeny, Qhysics, Alton, told the Alton Kiwanis Club Tuesday that the Russian satellite, Sputnik, although it is being pulled by the earth, is moving no closer to the earth. Reason: It is traveling 18,000 miles per hour in a line perpendicular to the straight-down motion. (Physicist McAneny will draw a picture for anybody who cannot understand this simple explanation -- ed.) Next week Faculty Newsletter will report on two talks Dr. Eric Baber is giving Monday one before the Alton Rotary Club and the other before the Alton Chapter of AAUW. Dr. Robert '~· Duncan, English, Alton, gives a sermon this corning Sunday morning in the Unitarian Church on Third Street. Topic: "Religion of Robert Frost". Duncan, who cam to SIU from the University of Wichita, has been interested in Frost for ten years. He has just had an article published on "Byron and the London Literary Gazette" in the fall issue of the Boston University Studies in English. Duncan also writes for money. His short story "I Flew through Hell for Love" which originally appeared in the magazine Air Facts in June is being republished in Air Force Magazine. He lives with his wife and three husky sons at 2918 College, Alton, Illinois. : ..... -------·· ',·------ ----- Newsletter this week secured a copy of the talk on Supermart Culture that Professor William Going presented before the St:. Clair County Institute of Junior and Senior High School Teachers at Mascoutah two weeks ago. (Going, who was invited to give the talk on the recommendation of our executive dean, was later pressured for a cut of the profits when the dean found that be was being paid hard cash for the talk. Newsletter in the interest of possible faculty action in the matter is bringing the whole-sordid affair to light -- ed.) , Going· pointed out in his address to the institute that fashions in culture, like fashions in clothes, shift and change, and he cited the comic strips as perhaps one of the most popular forms of mass communication today. Are they cultural? Going says one thing is certain: they follow some of the same patt~rns as do works that we usually call cultural. �... - 3 - For example, Dagwood's appeal is the attraction of daily doings, and in Dick Tracy the exotic is everywhere and there is romance. Then there is Lil' Abner, where Al Capp satirizes Liberace as Loverboynik, General MacArthur as General Bullmoose, etc. These three strips are excellent prototypes of realism, romanticism, and satire -- three of the standard patterns of so-called literary culture. (Using these strips as springboards and items for analyses in the teaching of literature and social studies is often more profitable than fighting them.) Not only the comics but jazz, bebop, and rock-and-roll have the mass appeal of popular art. Are they cultural? Again, certain of the basic elements of classic music are present in each of these. Jazz relies monotonously on the principle of syncopation, and rock-and-roll centers on the fortissimo downbeat with iteration ad nausium. "Is a canvas sprinkled with white sand, containing one black dot, and labeled ''Infinity" a real work of art?" asks Going . "One thing is certain. Such a picture makes the beholder think, and its negativeness challenges his positive world." In the last centry Matthew Arnold in Culture and Anarchy spoke of the individual perfection toward which one should aim. His successor, T. S. Eliot in Notes toward the Definition of Culture concludes that no perfection in any one of the several activities of culture, to the exclusion of others, can confer culture on anybody. The wholly cultured individual is a phantasm; and we are driven in the end to find culture in the pattern of a society as a whole, Culture then may be described as that which broadens the choices of life. Accord~ng to Eliot, " Culture is what justifies other peoples and other generations in saying, when they contemplate the remains and the influence of an extinct civilization, that it was worthwhile for that civilization to have existed." On the relation between culture and education Going says: "In our rush to educate everybody in everything, we are lowering our standards, and more and more abandoning the study of those subjects by which the essentials of our culture -of that part of it which is transmissible by education -- are transmitted." He says that the proliferation of courses must be weighed carefully, and that the teacher must exercise all of his ingenuity to teach in depth and breadth. Like the size and variety of our supermarkets, the skills and knowledge of the present-day world increase and multiply at an alarming rate. Going concludes that fn the final analysis he is a cultured human being who is highly skilled in some one art or science, trade or profession; and who is aware of the values of other arts and trades. We can no longer bow the knee to an art appreciation course as the place where culture is handed out, we can no longer worship the college degree as a guarantee of culture. The cultured individual is dependent upon the culture of a group or class and the culture of that group or class is dependent upon the culture of the whole society to which it belongs. The great artist does not emerge in a cultural vacuum. This fact is at once the hope and the elusive challenge of all public education. Going quoted from the Postheumous Fables of the late William March, whose last novel The Bad Seed was originally produced by Hollywood. Professor Going is in the process of editing "Ninety-Nine Fables by Hilliam March" for a university press. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The same program will be given at the University of Chicago on November 8. Historical research has failed to reveal any evidence that the Scarlatti arias have been performed publicly since 1725. They were discovered in the archives of Florence and Venice, Italy last year and have been edited by Musicologist John Edmunds. Miss Tangemann, one of America's best-known contralto soloists, who joined the SIU music department this year, will be recreating the arias as they were performed in the 18th century. In addition to the Scarlatti works and two selections by Henry Purcell, "I Attempt from Love's Sickness to Fly, " and the recitative and lament from "Dido and Aeneas," Miss Tangemann will sing a group of modern compositions by Milhaud, Norman Dello Joio, Theodore Chanler and Ned Rorem. She is most noted as a singer of contemporary vocal music, a field in which her "musicianship, interpretative sensibility and understanding " . have been praised. Chiasson, Miss Tangemann's professional New York accompanist, will play three harpsichord solos: Handel's "Chaconne inC sharp minor"; three sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti, and "The Lonely l.Jayfarer," an early American composition. David R. VanHorn of Park College joined the staff of Southern Illinois University this week as assistant registrar.

His wife is the former Kathryn Kannegieser of PhUadelphia. ------------------------- �- 4 Dr. Eric R. Baber, Director, Alton , addressed the Rotary Club and the AAUW on the same day this week in Alton. He spoke to the Rotarians of the foresi ght and efforts of the civi c leaders of the area in helping to establish centers of higher e~uc a tion in Al t on and East St. Louis, and he cited these enrollment figures: SIU 1s up 30 per cent this Fall, and -- according to available figures -- is the f a stest-growing university in the country. Educational experts had predicted an enrollment of 7,250 for SIU this year; 8,100 next year; and 9,000 by 1960. It is a lready past the.estimate for next year. Enrollment now totals 8,3000 -- 6,500 in Carbondale, 1,200 1n Alton, and 600 in East St. Louis. (Men outnumber \vomen 2 to 1.) In size SIU ranks third in the state in full-ti me e nrollment ( a fter the University of Illinois and Northwestern), and even B.C. (before the centers) it was the 76th largest institution of higher learning in the United States. Professor Alonzo Myers of New York University, who predicted in an educational survey of the area this Spring that there would be an enrollment , qf~ $.0Q.._the first year if centers were established in Alton and East St. Louis, also predicted that the number of freshmen each year would rise to about 2,000 in 1962 (if facilities for accommodating this number could be made available), and to about 2,700 entering freshmen in 1967. This would indicate an undergraduate enrollment of about 6,000 students in 1962 and about 9,000 in 1967. Dr. Baber told the AAUW that the Alton Residence Center is offering a strong liberal arts program for some 650 freshmen, and a basic framework of required courses for sophomores, juniors, and seniors -- together with enough electives to meet their requirements. He said that by ne x t Fall the center will be offering most of the courses offered on the Carbondale campus at both the freshman and sophomore levels, and an expanded offering at the junior and senior levels for majors in English, math, history, government, s ociology, chemistry, physics, biology, music, speech, economics, secretari a l science, business management, education, physical education, and a few others. How many students will the present campus accommodate ? Baber said that by careful scheduling from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00p.m. the center can take care of 800-900 day students. Additional scheduling can accommodate 1,100-1,200 evening and Saturday students, making a total of 2,000 for next Fa ll. He also told both clubs about the graduate program and the building of lib r ary and research resources. ------------------------- � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

(a) Bi-State Planning - This is a cooperative venture sponsored by Washington University, St. Louis University, and the Southwestern Illinois Campus of Southern Illinois University. (b) Bi-County Development - This group has been in­ strumental in securing five new industries and in winning the designation of All-American City for three conmunities in this area in the past two years. See February 16 issue of Look Maga­ zine (1960). 6. In the last two years assembled a professional staff of 180 members, seventy per cent of whom hold the doctorate. 7. Secured and renovated temporary physical plant to house over 6,000 different students - our current enrollment in all programs. .J � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

However, in total instruc tion load, there has been a rather significant increase because there are 200 more full-time day students than predicted. Freshmen student enrollment has about doubled, with a much heavier percentage of students from the current high school graduation class enrolled this fall than was the case in 1957. The areas of Applied Science (Technology), Business, Education, and Science and Mathematics, show an increase greater than the overall growth of the student population. Despite limitation in staff and library facilities the Graduate pro-gram continues to grow and promises to be even larger next year. Nursing is being carefully studied, and it is hoped that a coordinator for the Nursing program will be found before January. There is every reason to believe that this will be one of our fastest growing programs when a full-fledged curriculum has been developed. A look into the future presents a rather staggering picture, since the figures presented in this report are probably on the conservative side. �I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I TABLE 1.

With over 35 per cent of our instruc­ tion being done by Call and Carbondale staff, the actual load for the • full-time staff is much higher. Part-time staff does not assume committee, advising, and other service responsibilities. In addition to this problem, we lack an adequate civil service and student work • force. In making a projection of needs for the next biennium, we used a faculty-student ratio of 1-10 for graduate and 1-15 for undergraduate instruction. This means our student-faculty ratio remains at a relatively high level, but this is to be expected in a program basically organized for undergraduate instruction. The hiring problem will assume tremendous proportions next year. We will ne·ed to hire faculty and staff as follows: 1959: 154 professional staff 31 civil service 1960: 50 • professional staff 15 civil service This only takes care of new positions and does not take into consideration normal turn-over of staff.

The reports from the appraisers will be completed on October 31, 1958, and another attempt at negotiations with these people will be made. In this group of five, there is no antagonism toward the program, but rather a large difference in the appraised price and the amount asked by the owners.

I I I I �- I .1 I I I I I ·I ��An evaluation based upon a strategic need I I I I I I I I I I I 11 A grave crisis is facing higher education in this country-a crisis which threatens na­ tional security as well as individual and corporate welfare. We are in danger of getting caught short of trained brainpower. College and university classrooms are overcrowded, and many schools have been forced to adopt quota systems, thereby limiting the future growth of businesses, industries, and professions which need a continuing supply of college-trained per­ sonnel. The educational pinch is already apparent with 3,500,000 young men and women in colleges. In 1970, according to President Eisenhower's Council on Education Beyond the High School, more than double that number will be seeking admission. In some states, the Council reported as many as four times the present numbers of students will be begging for the chance to get a college education. Where these young people are refused, economic conditions and standards of living will suffer. Hard-won advantages in business competition and community progress may be lost. If large numbers of potential students are denied training, it will threaten our nation's position in the technologi�al battle for co-existence. These dangers have special significance in the Madison-St. Clair County area. By 1970, according to the Council on Education Beyond the High School, an estimated 3.4 per cent of the total U.S. population should be enrolled in college programs. Within 40 miles of the population center of Madison and St. Clair counties, there will be at least 850,000 residents by that time, or a potential of 29,000 college students. How many of these could be accepted by existing institutions? Even the most optimistic guesses would fall short of the training need. Furthermore, young people of the Madison-St. Clair County area who are eager to attend college have an economic handicap. East St. Louis, in St. Clair County, is 100 miles from the here in Illinois nearest state university; Alton, in Madison County, is 125 miles distant. E rhaps large numbers of students commute to state universities from their homes work full time or part time in their own community to finance their education. St. Clair area this is not possible-except within the physical and educationa ern Illinois University's Residence Centers program, now rapidly a capacities. Beyond 1960, it is probable that the Residence Centers, to away students applying for admission.

But they cannot long withstand the surge of students who need college training. A new campus, with elbow room for expansion, would accommodate many thousand more young people and give adub learning opportunities they have missed. 70 ,, I I I __L �Serving the needs of. the area fl fl II I I I Indisputable evidence of the need for a university was advanced in a 1957 report by Dr. Alonzo F. Myers, chairman of the Department of Higher Education at New York University, prepared under the auspices of the Southwestern Illinois Council for Higher Education. During his thorough investigations in Madison and St. Clair counties, he compiled some alarming statistics. Dr. Myers placed-special emphasis on the lack of facilities for training personnel required to fill the job vacancies in local business and industry. "These needs are so great in relation to the future industrial development and economic well­ being of the area that they must not be neglected," Dr. Myers said. He learned, for example, that _firms within the two cou"nties could employ 200 to 250 en­ gineering graduates each year, 120 to 240 business aaministration majors, and 65 chemists­ if they were available. But they are not. Dr. Mye_rs also found out that thousands of people now working in business and industry must havLldd4twnal ��<10ling if they are to improve their salary scales and become more valuable to' Uiei e ·ployers: fo the administrative field alone, 4,000 persons need niore training which is not presently available to them. Nearly 2,000 employees in the production area and hundreds of �ther& in r;nerchandising and utilities fields are similarly handicapped. If a university can be established, here by il 9t:>2, pr.ogralJi!� :co.ulo e offered the first year for nearly 9,000 full-time and part-time students seeking undergraduate or graduate degre�s. Si­ multaneously, the university could enroll 4,600 in technical, ¥ocati0nal, and business courses. By 1970, those figures could he more or less doubj,ed;l n_ad it1on, by 1970, special conferences, short courses, and workshops could accommodate 13,000 per§on§ yearly. To benefit from this vast reservoir, of edµcatio-;:'a opportunity a few years hence will require only a little pump-priming on our par-t right now. • �An endowment An investment in a central un continuing flow of graduates in ment and other organized £o creatively.

As a result of these discussions with University officials, later submitted to the Board of Trustees, the University proceeded to secure the best outside experts available to determine the proper location for a site, and assumed responsibility for securing options on one or more sites and for making the final selection. As outside consultants, Dr. Paul W. Seagers, engineer and school building consultant, Indiana University, and Edward D. James, Indianapolis architect, were appointed to make extensive sur­ veys of the two-county area. After determining the best sites available in terms of the population growth pattern, the experts made detailed studies of the areas, taking into consideration such important factors as drainage, water, and power facilities as well as accessibility, and they sub­ mitted their final report on February 25, 1958. Roy Wenzlich and Company was employed to make appraisals of the areas surveyed, and Stifel Realty Company was authorized to take options on the land, based on the appraisal price established by the Wenzlich Company. On the basis of the recommendations made by the consultants, the Board of Trustees selected a 2,600 acre site west of. Edwardsville in Cahokia Hills. Cost The cost of the proposed university site will be approximately $1,600,000.00. This cost, and only this cost, will be borne locally. Expenditures for construction of buildings and year­ to-year operation of the university will be appropriated by the. state legislature. By 1970, it is estimated that the state will need to provide $40 million in tax funds annually for adequate operation of the university, More than $50 million capital improvements would be needed by that time. The site cost is, therefore, almost incidental to the educational and economic benefits this region will realize. Tax Benefits Individuals and corporations contributing to the purchase price of the university site will derive various tax advantages. In general, corporation contributions to an educational institu­ tion like Southern Illinois University are tax deductible if they do not exceed five per cent of taxable income. Unincorporated businesses may be eligible to claim deductions up to 30 per cent of adjusted gross income. The individual can exempt his gift from federal income taxes. And, of course, all will benefit when state tax dollars collected in this area will be reinvested in higher education here.

Within the space of a few weeks this local group developed into an area­ wide organization-The Southwestern Illinois Council for Higher Education -with representatives from virtually every civic organization, governing body, public and private school, business and industry in the region. The Council set up committees which met with the Governor, the Illinois State Commission for Higher Education, and the legislators of the area, as well as with SIU's Board of Trustees. With the financial support of industry, this group engaged Dr. Alonzo Myers, national expert on higher education, to conduct a comprehensive study of the needs of higher education in this area. When the extent of the citizens' interest in higher education was further evidenced by East St. Louis' offer of free use of its old high school building and Alton's offer to lease the facilities of the former Shurtleff College, Uni­ versity authorities, with state approval, decided to take action to provide higher education facilities in East St. Louis and Alton. The facilities in both Alton and East St. Louis will be near capacity duririg the current academic year. To accommodate the avalanche of enrollment due to descend on us in the next few years, the addition of a large central campus for the University is essential. With a vital interest in the cultural and economic benefits to be derived from a major university in our midst, the citizens of this region have set themselves the goal of acquiring the funds for this campus without delay. The securing of this campus will constitute the crowning achievement in the program of concerted community action in behalf of higher education begun two short years ago-an achievement that we believe to be without parallel in lhis state. ,/'J-A_. _ �--?� Chairman Fund-Raising Committee Southwestern Illinois Council for Higher Education ROBERT H. LEVIS II, �I I I I I I This brochure has been prepared by the executive committee of the Southwestern Illinois Council for Higher Edncation as a partial explanation of what an expanded university program would mean to the cultural and economic future of our communities.

Don't we pay enough taxes for our state universities to buy their own land? There is a very good and normal procedure to be followed by State institutions to acquire funds for land purchase. Unfortunately, for the case of locating a major university branch in our area, or any other area as recent events have demonstrated, the normal process of asking the State Legislature for funds carries a built-in delay of some eight to twelve years. A request for funds for a branch of the University of Illinois in the Chicago area was initiated in this manner some six years ago. Reliable sources indicate that it will be another four to five years before this gets under way. The principal delaying factor lies not in legislative appropriation of the funds, but in approval of the site. Political and commercial factors and influences invariably inject a competitive aspect into site selection which delays the entire effort until many conflicting views can be resolved. Such has been the case of the Chicago campus of the University of Illinois, and such would certainly be the case if funds were sought from the Legislature for a major branch of Southern Illinois University. Every area in Southern Illinois would be a potential location, and though we are convinced that the Madison-St. Clair Counties area is far and away the most logical location for such a branch, it could easily take ten years to reach this conclusion through the normal State land acquisition process, and even then some other area could conceivably be chosen. Our need is immediate. The overwhelming acceptance and use of the two branches of Southern Illinois University that have been located in the area, and which are already filled to capacity, demonstrate as nothing else can the tremendous urgency of starting construction of adequate facilities to handle the load which will comprise some 7,500 students by 1961; 14,000 by 1966; and 21,000 by 1970. The timely realization of the project is possible only if the site is purchased by the residents of the area and presented to the State. With the logical site in hand, the legislative problem is tremendously simplified. Funds for immediate construction, whether from the State Bond Issue to be voted on in November or direct appropriation of the next session of the Illinois Legislature, are reasonably assured. The State has no alternative to providing construction funds once the argument over the site has been conclusively settled through the gift of the land to the State by the residents of the area involved. ROBERT H, LEVIS II �I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I SOUTHWESTERN ILLINOIS COUNCIL FOR HIGHER EDUCATION Madison - St. Clair Counties Fund Drive SUPPLEMENTAL BULLETIN No. 2 WHY 2,600 ACRES? Why should an institution of higher learning acquire a campus adequate for all of its future needs when it is first established? Could it not add an acre at a time as the need becomes critical? Historically, colleges have been started on plots of land which proved to be in­ adequate in size. Today scores of them, such as the University of Illinois, Southern Illinois University and the University of California, are faced with the alternative of turning away students or overflowing into commercial districts and residential areas where property values have risen inordinately. Residential or commercial property adjacent to urban universities often runs from $150,000 to $200,000 per acre, usually exclusive of the cost of demolishing existing buildings. Ironically, in such cases, the university itself has been the chief cause for this rise in property value. With too small an original land site, the growing institution cheats itself in direct ratio to its own growth. Unfortunately, too, most instances of such land acquisition constitute but another stop gap in a hodge-podge campus development. Even under the most favorable market conditions, little more than 10 urban acres could be purchased for $1,600,000, a sum that invested now in the proposed 2,600acre site would insure an adequate campus for the foreseeable future, planned from the outset to make the most advantageous use of every topographical feature. A campus with sufficient acreage is better able from the outset to cope with the tremendous traffic probiem created by a large student body comprised wholly of commuters. The traffic problem in the vicinity of urban universities has assumed nightmare proportions in the last few years, and it becomes increasingly serious with each year's surge in enrollments. In too many instances, urban universities with limited land holdings are unable to prevent the development of undesirable enterprises or unsightly construction adjacent to academic buildings. Campuses located in metropolitan areas must constantly battle against encroaching slums. If the battle is unsuccessful, and if there is no protective buffer zone, these encroachments materially reduce the effectiveness of these urban institutions of higher learning. Most important of all, a university with an adequate campus can better provide the facilities for outdoor education, physical fitness training, experiment stations, research tracts, essential utilities and other undertakings so essential to a university program. Internationally known experts recommended this site after a thorough study of the growth patterns of all parts of the two-county area. They believe this will be one of the few urban universities in the entire country that will not be harassed by problems of land acquisition. �I I I I I I I I I I I I I·-_ I I I I I I October 29, 1958 SOUTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY, ALTON RESIDENCE CENTER STUDENTS STAKE IN A NEW SITE FOR SIU Automobiles pour in from all directions to the Residence Centers of Southern Illinois University.

With classrooms bulging, �arking becoming imPoss_ible, stu- o dents ask themselves, "How stands tious undertaking of our Carbondale parent?" The apparent mushrooming of enrollments at Carbondale and at the Residence Centers indicates that there can be nothing other than a serious "cultural impairment" without space provided by the new site and population growth will make this situation more acute as time passes. Citizens of the area have already pledged themselves to $115,180.00 of the milli0'11 and one half requested by the Fund-Raising Committee of the Southwestern Illinois Council for Higher Educa­ ti0'11.

Vol. 84-No. 141 St. Louis, C Gr�UA 2 New Area Airports Plans for campaigns for two new airports in the metropolitan St. Louis area, one in St. Louis County and the other on the east side, were announced ye,. terday. Civic and governmental lead­ ers of Collinsville, Edwardsville and Granite City will launch a drive to expand Lakeside Airport in Madison County into a first class metropolitan airport to cost from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000, it was announced following a meeting Tuesday night. A campaign for a proposed new secondary airport in St. Louis County, at a site to be de­ termined, was decided on at a simultaneous meeting of the Aero Club of St. Louis at Holiday Inn, Lindbergh boulevard at Long road. The proposed development of Lakeside Airport would serve the east side and also take sorne of the traffic load from Lambert. St. Louis Metropolis Airport be. cause of its closer proximity to downtown St. Louis, it was pointed out. Lakeside Airport is presently a small private field just east of Horseshoe Lake. �I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I <fbtl1l�; ·sOU1'HER1� m11 o,llt' ntcltfgc lLLL'OIS-U, IVERJITY• L E ! �i�� �.

The meeting was called to explore the possibilities and potentialities of such a project. Representatives of the CAA and TDA advised those attending to consider the over-all airport needs of the area with the best approach being through an Airport Authority to be named by the mayors of cities involved in the venture and the !County Board of Supervisors.

() REPORT to the ILLINOIS STATE COMMISSION FOR HIGHER EDUCATION by the Southwestern Illinois Council for Higher Education Suite 221 - Broadview Hotel East St. Louis, Illinois July 10, 1958 (Revised) �!) Citizens' Action In October, 1955, a group of civic-minded men and women in Madison County took the first step in what was to become a grass -roots movement for higher edu­ cation inv'olving the active cooperation of citizens in every walk of life in a two­ county area of more than a half million persons. The area comprised heavily-industralized Madison and St. Clair Counties, and the action taken by the citizens - members of the Edwardsville Chamber of Commerce - was to extend invitations to the state's two universities to help explore some means by which the young people of the area might secure a higher education close to home. Southern Illinois University officials accepted the invitation to meet with the Edwardsville citizens, but made no commitments relative to the establishment of university facilities in the area, on the grounds that they wished to interest other educational institutions - both private and public - in cooper a.five •'planning for such a program before assuming a major responsibility. Two meetings sponsored jointly by SIU and the University of Illinois - were held in February and October of 1956 to explore the possibilities. Almost simultaneously, the Edwardsville group mushroomed into an area­ wide citizens' organization - The Southwestern Illinois Council for Higher Education - with representatives from virtually every civic organization, governing body, public and private school, business and industry in the region, the state I s most populous after Chicago. The Council, with Dr. Robert Lynn of Alton as chairman, set up committees to call on the Governor, the Illinois State Commission for Higher Education, and the legislators of the area. Governor Stratton conferred with the citizens' committee three times, the Commission on Higher Education examined an educational survey underwri,tten by them, legislators sat in on all meetings of the group, and Southern Illinois University's Board of Trustees agreed to give them a hearing. When the extent of the citizens' interest in the establishment of university facilities was further evidenced by East St. Louis's offer of free use of its old high school building and Alton's offer to lease the facilities of the former Shurt­ leff College, U · e.J:.§iJ <UJ....tbo,rjtie4 with state approval, decided to take action to provide higher education facilities in East St. Louis and Alton for the fall term. Educational Survey of the Area A comprehensive survey of the extent and nature of the need for higher edu­ cation facilities in the two counties was undertaken in December, 1956, by Alonzo F. Myers, chairman of New York University's department of highe;-;ducation. He spent three months in the area compiling data for the survey, underwritten by the two-county citizens I group. rv-.. : �-2- He found that population-wise St. Clair County - embracing East St. Louis had fewer than half as many college graduates as the state or nation as a whole (2. 4 per cent as compared with 5. 9 per cent for the state and 6 per cent for the entire nation). Exactly twice as many persons in adjoining Madison County were college graduates, but even this was considerably below the national average. One reason for the poor showing was the relative absence of opportunity to attend college locally. This situation was to become even more acute in the following months when 130-year old Shurtleff College, the only four-year college in Madison County, closed its doors. According to Myers' survey roughly 40 per cent of the high school seniors in the area hoped to attend college, and more than two-fifths of these said they would have to go away to college because there was no college 'riear'home that met their needs. Finding the funds to enable them to go away to college, however, was admittedly impossible for half of them. Myers estimated that a chance to attend college at a low tuition charge while living at home - especially if they could work part time -- would cause an appreciable number of students to enroll for college. With some students coming from adjacent counties, he predicted that if college facilities were established in Alton and East St. Louis, each Center could open with 400 fresh­ men. He duly recom.mended their establishment. Enrollment Exceeds Estimate Residence Centers of Southern Illinois University opened in Alton and East St. Louis in September, 1957, with 1, 800 students enrolled in degree programs. More than 700 were receiving state or federal. help with their education, and well ?' ? over half of these received financial assistance available to them only at an Illinois state university; the rest were veterans. Since a good ten per cent of the remainder of the student body was privately employed, roughly half of the students were receiving, in one form or another, at least the equivalent of their tuition. The cost of attending college was further reduced for them by virtue of the fact that almost without exception, their homes were within commuting distance of their classes. Ninety-four per cent of them lived within 35 miles of the Residence Center they were attending. Two hundred of the students working toward degrees were enrolled in the graduate program. In addition to the students working toward degrees, there were 850 enrolled in technical and adult education and 15 0 in conference or short-term courses. ioo Applications for admission indicate that 3, students will be enrolled in the degree programs of the Residence Centers as of September, 1958. A sub­ stantial increase in the number of persons registering for the industrial pro­ gram is expected to bring to 4, 500 the enrollment in the total program of the \ 'l;r;,: YJ �,,., , -3- Southwestern Illinois Residence Office this coming fall. Myers I Report pre­ dicts a yearly increase in enrollment, culminating in a full-time day student body of 8, 000 for the area by 1967 - provided that adequate support for the program is available. Future Program for Council Current activities of the Southwestern lllino1s Council for Higher Educa­ tion include: 1. Active support for the state-wide bond issue. 2. Formulation of plans for the securing of financial support.. for the purchase of a permanent site in a central location, to be presented to Southern Hlinois University. 3. Efforts to secure aid for students_ going to college. 4. Plans for a program of legislative action in behalf of the Residence Centers. 5. Perpetuation of committees to conduct continuing studies of the needs of higher education as it relates to area-wide pro­ gress. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
