to pursue continuously and satisfactorily such course of instruction,

Carb.ond.ale ,111. ,uct. --Southern Illinois Normal University
gridders Monday began to prepare for some tough practice sessions
before their homecoming football attraction here Saturday afternoon
against the Western Teachers Eleven of Macomb.

Lest week, the Maroons and Eastern Illinois Panthers at
Charleston plcyed to a scoreless tie.

Southern early in the opening period had two scoring opportunities
but lost the ball on. downs. Play in the first half was completely in
Eastern territory.

However, in the second half, the Panthers took control, with the
game being played in Southern's territory. The Panthers gained most
of their first downs in mid-field leading in this department 11-5.
Eastern's only threat came in the final minutes of play when the
Panthers were one yard from the goal line as the game ended.

This week Coach Glenn "ABE" Martin will pat his charges through
an extensive blocking practice, as this department in the Charleston
game was very disappointing. The Maroons are also expected to brush
up on their offensive maneuvers.

Capt. Sam Milosevich's defensive play at Charleston was highly
featured. The big tackle on numerous occasions broke through the
Charleston line to catch the backfield men for big losses.

Martin anticipated another tough game against Macomb. Last week
the Western Teachers were defected by Old Normal, 20-7.

Carbondale, 111,, Oct. — Minimum wage scale for student
employees at Southern Illinois Normal University has been raised from
30 to 35 cents per hour, effective with October pay checks, President
Chester F. Lay has announced.

This new scale will mean an increase in wages for 67 students
who have been earning less than 35 cents per hour, according to Dean
of Men A. J. Ter Keurst. These students are chiefly unskilled or
serai- skilled student workers attached to th« Janitorial and ground
force, or beginning typists, stenographers, assistants.

The increase in base pay was put into effect on recommendation
of Elmer P, Hitter, coordinator of the Illinois Teachers College,
Springfield, Dr. Lay explained, and brings student wages here into
line with those at other teachers colleges of the state.

Southern employs an exceptionally large number of student workers
in University offices, service agencies, and physical plant activities,
President Lay pointed out, yielding a three-way benefit: (l)
providing relatively low-cost assistance; (2) affording valuable
apprenticeship to student workers; and {3) assisting needy students
to defray all or part of their University expenses.

Nearly 200 students are currently employed at Southern, Dean
Ter Keurst reports.

The wage scale for student employment last month ranged from 30
to 60 centF per hour, and averaged almost 39 cents per hour. The
student employees work anywhere from a few hours to 100 hours per
month, and earn an average monthly pay check of $26,22. With the
new Increase Just authorized, the average hourly rate and the average
monthly pay check will be somewhat larger.

Carbondale, 111. Nov. --"They just had a better team than we
did," Coach Glenn "Abe" Martin admitted ruefully in recounting his
Southern Illinois Maroons fateful encounter with the DeKalb Teachers
on the football gridiron.

The Maroons were knocked out of the Illinois Intercollegiate-
Athletic Conference championship race— after heading the list of
contenders for several weeks--by the 13-7 defeat from DeKalb.

Charleston Teachers' 12-6 defeat by Normal threw Old Normal into
unquestioned load place, with Southern In second spot.

Southern has finished play for the season, with two wins, one
lose and one tie, while Normal has won three and lost one game.

It will depend on the outcome of next week-end's game between
DeKalb and Charleston whether Southern can be runner-up for the title.
If DeKalb defeats Charleston, Normal and DeKalb will tie for the title.
On the other hand, if Charleston defeats DeKalb, Normal will win the
championship.

Last Saturday's defeat was the second in a rev; the Maroons have
suffered from DeKalb in identical situations. Last year the Maroons
came up to the final game leading the pack, only to be nosed out of
the title 13-12,

Too much weight and too much height proved to be the Maroons'
downfall. After battling the DeKalb Huskies on fairly even terms
during the first half, the Maroons wilted late in the third period
when the Huskies scored their initial touchdown.

The Huskies midway in the third period were stopped on the one

-2-

yard line by the fighting Maroon lino and later ln the same quarter
were stopped on Southern's three-yard marker.
I However, this proved too tough for the lighter Southern line and
DcKalb pushed over their initial touchdown late in the third when
Jerome Piatt, Huskie halfback, went over from the eight-yard stripe.
Tcrrcnce Ryan, Northern end, placekicked the extra point.

Northern chalked up their second marker early in the fourth
quarter after a 45-yard sustained drive when Piatt tossed a ten-yard

"We feel that these people are not only admirably trained for
the positions they occupy, but they are also able to bring to
Southern a familiarity with Illinois problems that Is extremely
valuable in keeping the University close to the people It serves.
"Yet because many of them, like other new faculty members we

our growing, developing university.

Ccrbondale, 111. Nov. Clearness and accuracy in expression,

factors which will aid the student in later social and business
contacts, are the composition objectives stressed in the study of
rhetoric at Southern Illinois Normal University.

To show the paragraph and composition development achieved by
the average student of freshman rhetoric coming from a Southern
Illinois high school, the University has published a selection of
freshman compositions, entitled "Writing in Freshman Rhetoric Glasses
at Southern Illinois Normal University,"

Recognizing the need for a correlated study of grammar, sentence
structure, and other essentials of rhetoric, . the department of
English at Southern is anxious to cooperate in this training with
teachers in both the elementary and secondary schools of the area.

Compiled by Miss Emma L. Bowyer, chairman of the English
department, and edited by Mrs. Julia Ncoly, associate professor of
English, the collection of compositions in the new booklet was taken
from class work and from essays written for Scarab, student literary
publication.

An important phase of the first-year curriculum, the freshman
is also given training in developing his theme or idea in a systematic
way. At first such formal writings are only a paragraph in length
but expand as the course continues. During the final course of
rhetoric, a research paper is ©spec t ©a of the student, and dictionary
study is given consideration^

Carbondale,Ill.Nov. - As the Southern Illinois Maroons approach
their crucial game of the season with Northern Teachers nest Saturday
at DcKalb , they are faced with starting play minus three first-
stringers. Their chances at the conference title are considerably
hampered by the three losses,

Gene Stotlar of Pinckneyvillc, fleet quarterback, is still limping
from a sprained^ nkle sustained in the Homecoming Game against Hacomb
here October 27. He did not play last week-end against KIrksville (Mo»)
Teachers, and may not be a blc to make the trip to DcKalb.

Two other casualties are scholastic --Thomas Gher of Ca rbondalc,
center, and Dick Sharp of West Frankfort, right guard, Both have been
mainstays In the Maroon line all season and will bo badly missed.

Rocky Rothschild of Ca iro will ta kc over Stotlar' s place in the
starting line-up. Rothschild has alternated with Stotlar in earlier
games, and has developed into a competent passer. He threw one of the
Homecoming Ga me ' s touchdown passes, and last week-end against KIrks-
ville heaved a 15 yarder Into the end zone to Gene Davidson of Karrisburgr

Oner's place will be taken In the starting, line-up by Carl Fcrrcl
of Joncsboro, while Ralph Lycrla of Anna will take over Sharp's
assignment.

The Maroons will leave here Friday and work out at Bloomington
before going on to DeKalb.

Starting lineup will include: Leedio Cabutti of Johnston City, left
end; Sa m Milosevich of Zciglcr, captain, left tackle; Bill Eaton of
Oarbondalc, left guard; Ferrell, center ; Lycrla, right guard, John Corn of
,enton; right end; Davidson, replacing Carl Berkner from Pinckneyville ,
right end; Rothschild, quarterback; Clarence "Red" Lower y of Benton,
left half; Dick Eggc-rs of Chester, right half; and Jim Harsh of Madison,
fullback.

This lineup will afford the Maroons the heaviest team they have sent
on the field this season. Rothschild weighs 175 to Stotlar 's 155;
Davidson scales at 200 compared to Birkner's 130; Lycrla 180to Sharp
170. Ferrell is a shade lighter than Gher.

This season, the Maroons have knocked off two conference oppon-

DeKalb, on the other hand has played only two conference games,
winning one and losing the other.

If the Maroons win Saturday, they. cinch the title, if DeKalb
wins, the title is still uncertain.

Score in the conference runs like this, as of now:

Southern
Eastern
Normal
Northern
Western

Outcome of the Eastern-Normal game Saturday may also change the
picture if Southern doesn't cop the championship by defeating Northern.
The Maroons have climbed £o the favorite position over some pretty
stiff obstacles. Coach Glenn "Abe" Martin started the 'season with only
three of his old lettermen back--Cabutti,Milosevich and Eaton.

The team was fortified by nine war veterans, several of whom have
ably plugged holes in -the first string: Eaton at left guard; Eugene
Davidson at right end; and "Red" Lowery at left half.

Other veterans an the squad include V/oodrow Rust of Cairo;Eugene
Deitz of Carbondale; Kenneth Capps of Herrin; Jack Davis of Fairfieldl
Charles Beatty of Benton;' and Frank Brashier of Carmi.

The Maroons have been outweighed by most of the teams they have
played this season, but by tricky unexpected plays and by an increasing
skill on the part of the linesmen, victories have been achieved,

Martin himself is keyed to a high pitch over the DeKalb game, not
only because it offers an opportunity to avenge last season's defeat
from Northern.

But this is Southern's chance to win its first conference cham-
pionship since 1930. And Martin himself captained that winning team.

Martin won three letters in football at Southern, calling signals

irom the left halfback spot and playing in 16 straight victories. He

left
was all-conference/half in 1930, the year the Maroons won the title.

Carbondale, 111. Nov. --That Hardin County is the most
picturesque county in the State, in its history, topography, and the
lore that still lingers from a by-gone day is the opinion of John
W. Allen, curator of history at Southern Illinois Normal University.

As director of the University museum, Mr. Allen has been
particularly interested in the regional development of the Southern
Illinois area, and has recently published Randolph County Notes and

1 ■■ ' "■ '■||M "•"« ■" ii 1 1 ii i i — i

Jackson County Notes, which give historical incidents of the
territories.

He recently visited Hardin County to collect museum materials
and folklore from that area.

Mr. Allen relates various stories of Hardin County to give
evidence for his statement. In the county, north of what is now
Cave-in-Rock, was one of the "storied" roads in the region, according
to Mr. Allen.

, Leading from Ford's Perry and winding up Potts Hill, "many a
traveler entered Potts Tavern to disappear forever," he says.

Then there's the well-known incident about Eschol Sellers who
settled near the Ohio River at the extreme east end of Hardin County.
Sellers built a fine house on the bank, near a steamboat landing.

The Mississippi journalist* Mark Twain, included Eschol Sellers
in his book The Gilded Age as one of the characters. Sellers UZ^
slandered, and as the story goes, visited Twain and "dressed him down
in seven different languages.'"

(more )

-2-

Twain was forced to withdraw the book from circulation but
changed the name to»Mulberry" Sellers in the later editions, concluded
Mr. Allen.

According to some historians, "American Brigandage" began at
Cavc-in-Rock, Mr. Allen said. According to an account in the Hardin

.aw

County Gazette of April 20, 1877, there is a plea for better «1;
enforcement, citing that from 1850 to 1877, 28 men and two women
had been killed outright, not counting the number who died of wounds
later, nor the infanticides, cites Mr. Allen.

Another celebrated site is the Old Rose Hotel in Elizabethtown--
the oldest house in Hardin County. This property was homesteaded
technically in 1814, the year the land office opened, but actually
had been claimed earlier. The present day lobby of the old building--
which is still standing— is the old Tavern room, continued Mr. Allen,
and out in the yard is the stone of the owner, McFarland, who died in
1857.

"Surely such a wealth of experiences and many others, even richer,
merit for Hardin County one of the first places in regional lore,"
Allen concluded.

Cartaondale, 111. Nov.-— Enrollment of 587 in the 17 extension
classes offered this fall by Southern Illinois Normal University has
been announced by Dr. T. W. Abbott, director of extension.

Added to the on-campus registration, 1,069, the extension figure
makes a total of 1,656 students who are currently receiving instruction
from Southern,

A majority of the off-campus work began in September, running for
16 weeks. Generally each extension class meets .under a University
faculty member assigned the course as a part of his teaching load.

As students in the extension classes are largely teachers,
most of the instruction given is in the field of education, but
literature, ,, music, and art classes are also popular, according to
Dr. . Abbott.

Because of demand, a graduate extension course is being offered
this year in Centralia, . with Dr. E. R. Fair, dean of the College of
Education, teaching the 15 graduate students enrolled.

Large classes in other Southern Illinois towns include those at
Anna,. with 39 students; Cairo, 45 -students; Carmi, 33; E. St. Louis,

Carbondale, 111., Nov* — Construction of midget autos has
become the latest fad in the seventh and eighth grade industrial arts
class of Allyn Training School at Southern Illinois Normal University
this fall.

This creative trend occurred when instructor Delmar Olson began
building a midget car for his young son last summer. It has now
developed into a class project.

Built around welded steel chassis made from steel tubing, the
midget autos are shaped in model airplane fashion. Formers and wood
stringers are the basis for a cloth covering which is dyed any color
the maker desires. Power is furnished by one-cylinder engines of
from 5/8 to 1^ horsepower.

Students Bud and Bill Colvis, ace auto makers who call

themselves the "Colvis Bros. Buggy Works", have done more work than

any of the other members of the class and are now building a model

Carbondale, 111. Nov. —A drive to raise $1,000 for the World Student Service-
Fund was launched this week at Southern Illinois Normal University with an addross
to the student assembly by Robert J. Fairgraves, Regional Director of the Midwest
Area of the WSSF.

Mr. Fairgraves presented the story of student needs, especially those of the
war-torn countries, and stated that it was the American students' duty to give to
the World Student Service Fund, which has been set up to serve students all over the
world.

Ten committees, comprised of representatives of various campus organizations,
are conducting the campaign with Miss Nina Price, student from Christopher, serving
as chairman.

A sacrificial dinner was held at the Student Christian Foundation Wednesday

evening for those students who are taking an active part in the drive. Proceeds
I of the dinner were turned over to the WSSF.

Campaigns such as the one here at Southern are being carried out in every
college and university in the country in order to raise the proposed $1,000,000,
which is the goal for contributions from United States students and professors. An
additional $1,000,000 is expected from the rest of the world.

All money raised will be used -to serve students in eighteen different countries.
Because of the end of the war, more help is needed for students of the war-torn
nations—students who are hungry and sick, who are homeless, and who need books and
supplies.

The World Student Service Fund was founded in 1940 under its present name;
however, its origin dates back to 1937 with the establishment of the Far Eastern
Student Service Fund by the National Intercollegiate Christian Council. Its activites

re extended to Europe in 1939 with the outbreak of the war. In the meantime the
Jniversity Commission of the Council of Church Boards of Education had become a co-
sponsor of the organization, which took the name World Student Service Fund.

Carbondale,Ill.,Nov. - For the third time in fifteen years, the
Southern Illinois Normal University Maroons are facing a conference
championship battle.

He;.ding the conference field, the undefeated Maroons will meet::
their old foes, the northern Teachers at DeKalb next Saturday, and will
try to revenge the defeat suffered at DeKalb' s hands last fall, when
Northern nosed out Southern 13-12 for the conference title.

It has been exactly 15 years since Southern won a conference
championship, and Coach Glenn "Abe" Martin is anxious to repeat this
year. Martin himself was captain of that 1930 championship term.

Southern is one of the handful of teams in the nation which remains
undefeated as the season noars its close.

If Southern defeats Northern next Saturday, the conference title
is clinched for the Maroons.

On paper it looks as if a Maroon victory is assured, for Southern
has won two games and tied one, while Northern has won one and lost one.
Putting it another way, Northern was defeated by Old Normal, while
Southern beat Old Normal 33-19. To even up the chances, however,
Northern beat Macomb Teachers (Western) by the same score Southern beat
Mac omb •

Southern's game last Saturday against Kirks ville (LIo.)Teachers was
a oreather, but netted a 13-0 victory. The two scores were neatly
achieved the first on a lateral pass from Fullback Jim Harsh of Madison

o Jean Cunningham of Anna on the second play of the game, with
Cunningnam getting away 50 yards for a touchdown. The second likewise
resulted from a pass, a 15-yarder, from Rocky Rothschild of Cairo to
bene Davidson of Harrisburg in the end zone.

from last year Southern Illinois Normal University Maroons open their
cage season in a contest with the Onlzed Club of Alton here at the
University, Dec. 4, Coach Glenn nAbe,? Martin announces.

The Onized Club, made up of former college stars, is said to bo
one of the best independent teams in the Middle -est. Their encounters
with Southern over a number of years have resulted in an even number
of wins and losses, However, in the last contest in 1943 the Maroons
wore defeated by three points, 32-35.

Last year's first stringers back In action are Leedio Cabutti,
Johnston City; Sam Milosevic]! and Don Sheffer, Zeigier; Dick Foley,
Carbondalo; and Dick Harmon, Granite City. Martin says it is doubtful
if Sheffer will be able to play regular ball this year due to an old
knee injury which is already giving him trouble.

The Maroons are again handicapped by not having a tall man;
however, they are fortunate to have more substitutes than in previous
years, making a better second squad, which can relieve the five top
players.

Carbondale, 111, No, v. --America's Thanksgiving celebration takes
its origin much further back than 1621, according to Miss Winifred
Burns, assistant professor of English at Southern Illinois Normal
University, in her article, "The Thanksgiving Festival," appearing in
the November issue of "The Educational Forum"

Harvest festivals were initiated with the Canaanites, copied by
the Children of Israel, observed in Ancient Greece, and celebrated in
Rome, Miss Burns points out.

As early as the ninth century, a festival called the "Harvest
.Home" was held by the Saxons in England, and the holiday was called
the "Kern" in Scotland.

"The appearance of the Thanksgiving celebration in our own land
was only a revival of a very ancient custom," status Miss Earns.

The first Thanksgiving in 1621 records no religious clement at
all, but after two succeeding years of drought, starvation, and illness
the celebration in 1623 was of a religious nature, as well as a holiday ;
according to Miss Burns, Not until 1363 was Thanksgiving Day proclaimed
as a national religious festival by President Lincoln.

Carbondale, 111. Nov. --George W. Smith, 90-year old profess
emeritus of history at Southern Illinois Normal University died earl-
this week at his home in Carbondale after 58 years of teaching, 45 of

Smith taught in the public schools for 15 years before joining Southern's
faculty in 3.390.

During his tenure at the University, he became noted for his

of the department, continuing until 1923.

Prof. Smith is widely known as an authority on Illinois history,
and has written several books on the subject, particularly on Southern

Carbondale, 111. Dec. --Showing what their "victims" described
as "the best defense we've encountered in the last two years," the
Southern Illinois Normal University Maroons romped all over the Loyola
University basket ball team here Saturday night to the tune of 57 to 38,
Loyola Coach John C. Orsley, whose charges last year won the National
Intercollegiate Athletic Tournament at Kansas City, paid this rueful
tribute to the Maroons' defense, which turned out to be too much for
the Wolves.

The Maroons, however, are taking their victory lightly, and pointing
up their practice for Wednesday night's game with Evansville (ind.)
College at Evansville, and Friday-Eight's battle with Arkansas State
here.

Evansville has a good team from all reports. Coach Emerson Henke
has four lcttermen back from last year, when the Purple Aces won ten
of their 17 games.

Information received here, indicates that Hcnke will probably start
Brown and Englcbright, forwards; Scott, center; Jones and Stubbs, guards.

Almost every man on the Maroon squad saw action here Saturday
night against Loyola, and nearly every man on the floor scored at
least one point. As usual, Sam Miloscvich and Don Sheffer, both of
Zeigler, were the high-point scorers, each tallying up 14 points. Dick
Harmon of Granite City and Gene Stotlar of Pinckneyville each scored
live points, Leedio Cabutti of Johnston City three, Glen Brown of

The Maroon quintet is hard at work this week to get ready for the
Loyola Wolves, whom the Southerners regard as one of their most
formidable opponents of the season.

Word received here indicates that the Wolves cage crew average
six feet.

The Wolves, 1945 winner of the National Intercollegiate Basket Ball
Tournament, won 25 games last season out of 30 tries, and scored 1,618
points to their opponents' 1,322.

Two leading scorers of last year's championship team are playing
this season for the Wolves — James Kultberg, who was named on the All-
American team at Kansas City National Intercollegiate Tourney, and was
chosen the best athlete and student at Loyola last year, and Sam Foreman,
who co-captained the Loyola team last year. Hultberg scored 314 points,
Foreman 226 points. ■

percent
through December 5, only 20 students or 2/ of the enrollment showed

symptoms typical of influenza, Dr. Marie A. Hinrichs, professor of

the total cases were among men students and the remaining 144 or

64 percent were among the women students.

While 20 students or 9 percent of total cases of illness showed
symptons resembling those of influenza, there is no actual proof that
all of these students had the disease, Dr. Hinrichs stated.

About one-half of the cases showing symptoms typical of influenza
and those showing symptoms resembling the "flu" were under the care
of their own doctors from the beginning of illness. Others were sent
home after illness had begun, Dr. Hinrichs added.

Reported cases of illness reached a peak during the period
beginning November 26 through November 30, which was at the time of
final examinations. Seventy-two students reported to the health
office ill with colds, sore throats, headaches, coughs, chest pains,
general aching (suggesting flu), and laryngitis during this time.

Carbondale,Ill.,Dec. — A meeting of the 235 veterans enrolled
at Southern Illinois Normal University will be held Tuesday, December
18, at which President Chester P. Lay will greet these students and
discuss their problems and opportunities with them.

Enrollment of veterans at Southern has jumped from 90 during the

At the close of registration last fall, Southern had twice the
number of veterans enrolled at any of the other Illinois State teachers
colleges.

The meeting here Tuesday night will be conducted by Gamma Iota
Alpha, the "G.I." fraternity here, as a means of welcoming the 145
new veterans and getting them acquainted both with other veterans and
with the University administration.

In order to accommodate the rapidly increasing number of veterans
who are coming to the campus, the University has leased a residence
adjacent to the campus to provide housing for the expanding Veterans'
Guidance Center which will be occupied within a few days.

This center is one of six in Illinois maintained by the Veterans
..Administration to counsel with veterans about their educational and
vocational opportunities. Complete testing facilities are available
with University faculty members as examiners and counselors to augment
the interviewing service of the Veterans Administration.

All veterans of Southern Illinois are eligible for this service,
whether or not they expect to enroll at Southern Illinois Normal
University, end many hundreds have benefited.

Dr. Mott and her assistant, Mrs. Lucy Fligor, recommend homemade, small,
sturdy table and chairs as possibly one of the most useful possessions
a child could have. Serving for varied activities, from carpentering
to coloring, such a table should be about 24 inches high, Dr. Mott
believes.

Another prized article the young child especially enjoys i* a

Carbondale,Ill.,Dec. -- Southern Illinois Normal University
will have a single eight-week term for the 1946 Summer Session,
according to announcement from the office of the president, Dr. Chester
F« Lay.

Opening June 10, the eight-week session will run through

For the past few years, Southern has held two six-week sessions
during the summer because of war-time demand for an accelerated
program. Under such a program, a student could complete the four-year
course (12 terms of work) In three years, by attending both summer
sessions each year.

The decision to hold only one summer term was reached by the
Advisory Council, and is subject to approval by the Teachers College

Carbondale,Ill.,jan. -Servicinc the largest area of the state.
Southern Illinois Normal University led the five state- supported
schools during the World War II period in number of students and
faculty in military service, college military training program, special
defense programs, and other special contributions.

Southern's front rank position above the other four-Eastern,
rorthern, and Western State Teachers colleges, and Illinois State
formal University-is consistent rith the record of student enrollment
purine the past several years.

According to recent survey, some 3,170 men and women from the
.ive schools entered the armed forces. Almost a third of that total,
!400, were former Southerners. Of the 263 g0ld- starred names found
n the five campuses, 60 are at Southern.

Serving in the armed forces were 61 faculty members on leave
rom the five colleges. Southern lists 19, or nearly a fourth of
hat total, while 15 more were away in special government service,
n Red Cross, USO, OPA, UNNRA, and other highly technical positions.

For 15 months, the University housed and trained 1019 cadets of
he 69th College Training Detachment (Air Crew), giving college work

lot Training, while programs in effect at the other four schools
re Army Enlisted Reserve Corps, Air Force Enlisted Reserve, Marine
rps Reserve, ASTP, Navy V-l, V-5, V-7, and V-12. Southern trained
proximately one-third of the military trainees instructed by the five
eachers' colleges.

A very important part of Southern's war contribution was the
aining of 1000 war production workers in electric and acetylene
lding, machine shop, automechanics, mechanical drawing and blueorint
-ding, aircraft riveting, and engineering aids. At its height, 12
achers were holding classes on a 24-hour day schedule. A third of
ailment in War Production Training Programs in effect at the five
ic.her colleges was that of Southern's.

Other war-time contributions of the University here include
■ablishment of a Community Cannery under the State Program of
servation; the Faculty Gift Club, which sent packages on a rotating
is to former students in the armed forces; the Co-Ed Victory Corps,

(more)

composed of Southern students who sold defense stamps, rolled bandages,
knitted for ^ed Cross, aided in blood donor drives; Veterans Information
Service Bureau, to advise returning veterans of legislative benefits
and to give vocational guidance.

In all the five schools, the curricular programs were accelerated,
■nd sessions were reorganized to allow for year-round instruction.
Southern opened many night classes, designed to appeal to the Illinois
Ordinance Plant war workers, many of whom were students in the
University. Most of the chemist-: In the plant's laboratory were
trained at Southern.

Courses in Hap and Aerial photograph Interpretation, Meteorology
for Pilots, mathematics, production of foodstuffs, care of farm
implements, cars, and trucks, first aid and home nursing, knitting,
and others wore afforded the students and adults of the area.

Meanwhile, Southern continued to carry on Its civilian job of
training teachers. Of the 6000 teachers placed' by the five colleges
luring the war years, Southern effected 1,519 of these placements, or
more than one fourth of the total.

Carbondale, 111., Jan.22~"After a grower has practiced intelligent soil
management, tree conditioning, fruit thinning, and successful chemical control
of insects and diseases, only th«n can he consider himself a success," declared
a University of Illinois horticultierist here today.

Dr. Dwight Powell, from the University of Illinois was one of the principal
speakers at the two-day meeting of the Southern Illinois Horticulture Society
here on the Southern Illinois Normal University campus, which has drawn 250
members — largest attendance on record.

Giving the peach spraying and dusting schedules for 1946, Dr. Powell and
S. C. Chandler, field entomologist for Illinois Natural History Survey and consulting
entomologist at Southern Illinois Normal University agreed that too often the
fruit grower thinks of the pest control program first. Low quality fruit does
not make good pest control a "profitable proposition," they emphasized.

Oliver I. Snapp, entomologist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Fort
Valley, Ga. , discussing "Plum Curculio Control," reported that continued laboratory,
cage and orchard experiments seemed to indicate that dichloroethyl -other as soil
treatment to eliminate the need for applying an insecticide to the trees might
well become an effective and safe substitute for lead arsenate, which is widely
used now.

"lead arsenate has an injurious effect on the foliage, buds, budwood and
fruit of peach trees under certain conditions," Snapp said.

"The dichlorethyl ether treatment is applied primarily for the control of tfr»
second generation of plum curculio larvae and pupae and undoubtedly has its
greatest value in areas in which a second generation usually occurs," he explained.

Since often the Southern Illinois peach crop is entirely eliminated by low
winter temperatures or spring frosts, "the application of this control would be
of much less value, except in the unusual seasons whan a large second brood occurs,"
he added.

William Beauman, Tunnel Hill, was re-elected president of the association,
Other officers include Curt Eckert, Belleville, first vice-president; D. W. Casper,
Cobden, second vice-president; and L, L. Colvis, Carbondale, secretart-treasurer.

Carbondale,Ill.,Jan. —Chief concern of authorities at
Southern Illinois Normal University is the housing shortage for
students whic is becoming increasingly acute as student enrollment
at the University climbs toward its pre-war 2400 peak.

Citizens of Carbondale have made particular efforts to cooperate
with the University on the problem by converting unused house space
into apartments, and through the renting of available rooms to
veterans with families who have returned to school.

Citing the cases of three elderly ladies who generously arranged
for the veteran to fire the furnace, and do other work in return for
living quarters, Mrs. Mabel Pull i am, executive assistant in charge of
housing, expressed the hope that other veterans with families could
find such a satisfactory solution.

"Such relationships are very good," declared Mrs. Fulliam, for
not only does the householder gain financially, but also gains
through the companionship afforded by the student and his family.

One householder offered a room in her home as a temporary place
for the married students until they could find an apartment, and
plans to continue that service, allowing the couple cooking privileges
during their stay at her home.

Latest action. taken by University authorities is that of having
applied to the Federal Government for permission to bring vacant
buildings from war areas to the campus to alleviate the situation.
If the request is granted, 100 units for married couples, and
barr-cks for single units will be made available to the students at
low cost.

Officials point out that at basis, the shortage lies in the fact
that the population of Carbondale has increased over 2000 since 1940,
yet no extensive building has been done to house these families.

The problem is further complicated in that whereas many students
could commute from nearby towns during the pre-war enrollment peak,
commuting is now difficult because of restrictions in tires and
sutomobiles. Authorities estimate that as many as 800 students were
3ff-campus residents during the high enrollment period of 1940-41.

Carbondale,Ill.,Jan. 31 -Although "the U.S. and Russia are
drifting perilously close to a needless and catastrophic war," sue.
conflict can be avoided by Ma reasonable amount of good judgment and
common sense," a Southern Illinois Normal University political
scientist declared here tonight.

Dr. V/. G. Swartz, professor and chairman of the government
department at Southern Illinois Normal University, spoke on "is War
With Russia Inevitable," in the third of a series of community peace
forums sponsored by the University Independent Student Union.

"It is the responsibility of sensible and fair-minded people
in both countries to bring pressure to bear upon their leaders and
representatives in behalf of peace and good will," warned Dr. Swartz.
"On cur part, this means not appeasement, but collaboration and
cooperation, combined with a reasonable degree of firmness," he
continued.

The "drift" toward war with Russia, he believes, is "due largely
to jealousy, fear, and suspicion, engendered by irresponsible and
hysterical utterances on both sides."

Pointing out that Russia "needs both time and peace in order to
rebuild her war- devastated areas and to give the Russian people some
of the good things of life which were promised them nearly twenty
years ago under the First and Second Five-Year-Plans, !' Dr. Swartz
reminded his audience that the Russian war program "has turned the
interest and attention of her leaders to the exploitation of her vast
mineral resources in Asia."

"Russia's chief concern, therefore, should be, and presumably is,
the establishment and maintenance of friendly, but independent
countries on her European and Asiatic frontiers-- in order to provide the
3ecurity which she considers necessary for carrying out her internal
rogram, " he said.

As does Russia, the United States desires and needs peace, Dr.
iwartz declared. "The national leadership is already preoccupied with
nprecedented streak of strikes, inflation, and unrest and
issatisfaction in general," he pointed out.

Held weekly in the Little Theatre on the Southern campus, the
ommunity peace forums are open to students, faculty, and townspeople
nterested in discussion of oertinent contemporary peace problems.

Release on Saturday

Carbondale, 111. Feb. 2 - The teaching and research staff of
Southern Illinois Normal University has been expanded by approximately
30 per cent since the opening of school September 10, Dr. Charles D.
Tenney, administrative assistant to the president, pointed out today.

A total of 40 appointments, including faculty assistants and
graduate assistants, have been made in the last five months, he said.
I "These are exclusive of the administrators who have been appointed,

such as certain student life and college deans," he explained.
i Many of the 40 additions are former faculty members who have
returned from military leave or government war service.
I "A number of other positions are being held open until still other*
of our staff members on leave are discharged and can resume their
duties here," Dr. Tenney added.

"But there are still many important faculty positions which are
open for which the college deans and the president are screening
applicants. In some cases, there are as many as two dozen applicants
under consideration for a particular position, such a process
naturally requires time, but we feel that we are making excellent
progress in bringing back former faculty members and in adding new
positions that have been made necessary by the University! s expansion
program.

"Perhaps at no earlier time has the competition for teaching
personnel been so great. All colleges and universities throughout
the country are facing the same problem of faculty- expansion as
Southern, so we cannot expect an immediate solution to all our
searches for new teachers."

Carbondale,Hl.,Feb. - Three misconceptions which many veterans
have as to their educational rights were blasted here today by a
Southern Illinois Normal University veterans' adviser.

Dean of J'.'en A. J. Ter Keurst cautioned veterans to get the
following notions out of their heads:

(1) That they must have been in school when they were inducted
in order to be eligible for Veterans Administration aid to continue
school .

(2) That they are not eligible if they are over 25.

(3) That if they have not completed high school they are not able
to enter college without first going back to high school and earning

a diploma.

All of these conceptions are erroneous, the dean said.

A veteran does not have, to prove that his education was
interrupted by induction in order to benefit from federal aid to go to
college, he emphasized.

Nor docs the 25-year-age limit any longer apply, he added.
"Through the U. S. Veterans Guidance Center here, every day
veterans who did not complete vigh school are given tests which reveal
their aptitude for college-level work," he declared.

"They are given the General Educational Development tests, and if
the results of these teste, indicate their training and experience has
qualified them to do college-level work, they can be admitted to
college (a) by taking special examinations or (b) as unclassified
students, later to work off certain unabsolved admission requirements."

Carbondale,Ill.,Feb. - Coach Glenn "Abe" Martin's Southern
Illinois Normal University Maroons handed the Cape Girardeau (Missouri)
State College basketball team a 53-46 defeat there last Tuesday night
in a non-conference game.

Leading the Missouri five all the way, Southern's game was slow
and deliberate, with exceptionally sound defense. Don Sheff er, Zeigler
added 19 points to his high-scoring record in the Cape game, while-
Sam Miloscvich, also of Zeigler, cumulated 14 points during the contest.

At present leading the Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
with a record of five victories and one defeat, the Maroons face real
threats to the championship in their next two home games against
Western Illinois State Teachers College, Saturday, February 16, and
Northern Illinois State Teachers College, February 22.

Martin has called particular attention to the fact that the date
of the final home game with Northern has been recently changed from
February 23 to February 22. At present, Northern is at Southern's
heels for the conference crown with four wins and only one loss.

Martin anticipates a close game with Western here Saturday night
at eight o'clock, as the Maroon team came out with only a one-point
margin in their first win over Western, played there.

Western met Eastern Illinois State Teachers on the Macomb floor
Wednesday night for a conference game.

Carbondale, 111., Feb. — Another major step was taken this week
in Southern Illinois Normal University's expansion program.

The sum of $737,500 was released to Southern by Governor Dwight
H. Green for purchase of some 400 acres of land adjacent to the present
180- acre campus.

"This release gives Southern the 'green light' to push as rapidly
as possible its move to acquire sites not only for buildings to be
constructed during the present biennium but also for its 25-year
expansion program," President Chester p. Lay declared.

"We are already negotiating with property owners in the areas of
immediate expansion," he said, "and plans are going forward satisfact-
orily for the buildings to be constructed during this biennium.-

"A committee of three expert real estate appraisers — 0. W. Jones
of Murphysboro, Lawson pore and H. H. Nooner of Carbondale--was
designated in January by Frank &. Thompson, Director of Registration
and Education and chairman of the Teachers College Board, to serve as
a committee to assist us in evaluating these properties.

"This committee has been at work since early in January and the
University through its business manager, Edward V. riles, Jr., has
been dealing with property owners in preliminary negotiations."

The land-acquis ition fund is part of a $4,623,373 post-war
expansion and building appropriation made to Southern by the General
Assembly at its last session — the largest made to any of the five
Illinois State teachers colleges.

-2-

The other colleges received, respectively: Illinois State Normal
University, $3,115,171; Northern, $2,044,988; Eastern, ''2,995, 743; and
ps tern, ;'J;2, 542,772.

Southern's allotment for hand purchases was also the largest, the
0737,500 here comparing with $260,000 at Normal, $60,000 at Northern,
$60,300 at Eastern, and $76,200 at Western.

In addition to the purchase of land, the $4,623,373 appropriation
for Southern provides for construction of a new training school, a
power plant and a distribution system that will serve not only the
present campus hut also buildings planned for construction during the
next 25 3rears.

Plans for the new training school were completed a number of years
ago, but construction was blocked by the outbreak of the war. Only
minor changes have been made in those plans since the appropriation v/as
authorized.

Proposal for construction of the power plant and distribution
system was broached for the first time at the last session of the
General Assembly, so that when funds were appropriated for them, plans
and specifications had to be drawn "from scratch."

These plans are now nearing completion, following surveys by
University officials and faculty committees of such facilities at
other state institutions, and numerous conferences with ixn^scntatLvos
of the State Department of Architecture and Engineering.

Semi-final blueprints for the training school shops and Department
of Education building which arc to be part of the training school unit
are expected here from the Chicago offices of the State Department of
Architecture and Engineering within a few days.

-3-

Thc Governor during the last few months has released at various
times funds to defray costs of drawing plans and specifications for
all these building projects, as well as for plans and specifications
for the site preparation for the training school. These various
allotments have totaled £113, 130.76,

Areas adjacent to the present campus which the University proposes
to purchase include: (1) completion of acquisition of properties for
the training school site— an area fronting on Grand Avenue running
from Lake street to what would bo Thompson Street if it were projected
that far north. The University already owns several pieces of property
in this area.

(2) property west of the University between Grand and Chatauqua
as far west as Lake Street,

(3) Property which the University does not already own on both
sides of U.S. Highway 51, from Grand Avenue south as far as the so-gtJM
Reservoir ^Load; this area includes not only houses and lots but also
some farm acreage as far west as Forest Street, as well as a part of
Thompson Lake, and extends to the East to include 50 acres south of
the University farm known as the Burke tt Fifty.-

(4) The Dowdell Farm, cast of the railroad track, including a
residence and 70 acres.

(5) Property between the Illinois Central railroad track and
University Avenue for a distance of 550 feet north of ' Grcn d Avenue,

Carbondale, 111. Feb. -Unchallenged in first place in the
Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, Southern Illinois Normal
University meets the one potential threat to conference championship,
Northern Illinois State Teachers College, here Friday night in the
Maroons last home game of the season.

Southern's decisive victory over Western Illinois State Teachers
College here Saturday night, and Illinois State Normal University
49-46 victory over Northern of DeKalb last weekend clinched a sure
tie for conference lead for Coach Glenn "Abe" Martin's team.
After the first 30 seconds of play, Southern led Western
throughout the finish, the final score reading 78-46, before the
largest crowd of the season, except for the Wright Field game.

Martin's starting line-up remained unchanged, with Don Sheffer
and Sam Milosevich, Zeigler, at forward; Quentin Stinson, Eldorado,
center; Gene Stotlar, Pinckneyville , and Leedio Cabutti, Johnston City,
guards.

Coach Martin was well pleased with the Maroons' hitting Saturday
night, as almost all the shots taken from within fifteen feet of the
basket effected a score. Bill Crum, Mt. Carmel, took two shots from
the 25 foot area, making one during the last few seconds of play.

Forwards Sheffer and Milosevich seemed especially "hot" in
screening off the opposition and getting good shots around the basket,
Martin said,

Milosevich was high-point man in the game with seven field goals
and eight free throws, Stotlar amassed 17 points, with Sheffer, who
left the game on account of his injured leg, scoring 14 points.

For Release Friday

Carbondale ,111 . ,Feb . --Coach Glenn "Abe" Martin's Southern
Illinois Normal University Maroons in their game here tonight intend
to break the "jinx" which has allowed three Northern Illinois State
Teachers College teams to slide past the Maroons by one, two, and
three and one -half point margins for Illinois Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference championships during the past two years.

The "jinx" must have started when Northern wrested the I.I.A.C.

football title from Martin's eleven two seasons ago by one point.

Undefeated in conference play, both teams were up for the title until

final
the/game in the season.

Last basketball season, Martin recalls, the Southern five lost
the conference title to Northern in the final game of the season
by two points, giving the Huskies the championship.

The three- and one-half margin loss to Northern was that of the
Maroon's track team last spring, when Southern lost the final event,
the mile, to Northern.

Despite the team's "hard luck" during the past seasons, a view
of the fifteen year record of Southern's basketball reveals that
the Maroons have garnered 18 victories over Northern, losing only
eight games.

Probably because of the distance between the two institutions,
for the past four years, Southern has scheduled their final basketball
game in the season with Northern.

Officials for the game here tonight will be Fred Young,
Bloomington, and Odell Pulley , Marion. Game time is at 8:00 p.m.

Carbondale, 111. Feb. -The negro has made possibly the most original American
contribution to literature through the "blues'" and the "spirituals'! a Southern
Illinois Normal University professor of English and philosophy told his audience

here Monday night.

Admitting that there would probably be some disagreement as to whether the "blues'
or the "spirituals" could be. called poetry, Dr. Charles D. Tenney, speaker at the
first of a series of discussions during National Brotherhood Week, justified his
first statement by defining poetry as an "adequate expression of human experience."
Certainly the "blues" and the "spirituals" are expressive, and do reflect human
suffering and aspiration, he pointed out.

These two contributions of the negro to poetry are often ignored, declared
Dr. Tenney, as they are ordinarily associated with music. Among the selections
Dr. Tenney used to give his listeners the particular appeal of these two kinds of
poetic expression, were excerpts from Langsdon Hughes, and J^nes Welton Johnson.

Remaining on the week's agenda is a discussion on "The Contribution of Negro
Art and Music to American Culture," Tuesday night,, and a panel on "The Future
of the Eace Problem," Wednesday night.

Carbondale, Hi. Feb. -Despite recurrence of a sophomore-year knee injury,
Don Sheffer, tall, lanky blond Southern Illinois Normal University athlete from
Zeigler, climaxes four years of varsity basketball as leading scorer in the
Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in this, his senior, year.

Sheffer has averaged 17 points a game from forward position for the seven
I.I.A.C tilts this season, having a total of 119 points to his credit. Without
doubt, his scoring ability has had no small part in placing Coach Glenn "Abe"
Martin's Maroons in front position in the I.I.A.C. standings.
I "Shef" broke a conference recor^with his 36-point tally in the game with

Illinois State Normal University here two weeks ago.

Interested in basketball from 'way back, Sheffer was a star-player on the
Zeigler grade and high school teams, before coming to Southern. Incidentally, all
through school, Sheff says, he played with Sam Milosevich, Maroon forward also
from Zeigler, who follows Sheffer pretty closely in basket-shooting ability.

Besides basketball, Sheffer is interested in track, baseball, and tennis
activities, which round out a yearly program of sports for him. Last season "Shef"

Sheffer' s leading opponent in individual I.I.A.C. scoring' honors has been
Woods from Northern Illinois State Teachers College.

The game here with Northern Friday night will be the last conference meet for
both basketball teams, a Southern win giving the Maroons the I.I.A.C. championship.
If Northern can defeat Eastern Illinois State Teachers College Thursday night,
a victory over Southern here the next night would tie the championship between

Carbonclalc,Ill.,Fcb. - Coach Glenn "Abe" Martin's Maroons

downed their Northern Illinois State Teachers College opponents, 61-50,
in the season's final game before an over-capacity crowd in the
Southern Illinois Normal University gymnasium here Friday night.

insisting that the "game was better than the score indicates,"
martin none- the-less was well pleased with the performance of his
Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championship team.

Chief interest in the game was the contest between Southern's Don
Sheffer and Northern's Robert Woods for I.I.A.C. individual scoring
honors. Outpacing his opponent, Sheffer rang up 26 points in the
game, to bring his conference scoring total to 145 points, and held
Woods to ten points, for a 124 point conference season.

Martin remarked that Quentin Stinson, Eldorado, played his best
game of the season in the game against Northern Friday night, as he
seemed particularly effective in rebounding, both in defense and
offense. Playing in center position, 6 '4" Stinson has emerged this
season as a potential great basketball player, Martin declared.

The Maroon first five played the majority of the game against
Northern, but Coach Martin substituted freely during the latter part
of the second half. Sheffer played until the last few minutes, when
he was forced to leave the game because of his knee injury.

Resume of the 1945-46 Maroon basketball season shows that Southern
scored a total of 1,081 points in their 19 games, holding their
opponents to 853 points. Martin's team won 14 of their games, losing

only five,

in conference play, Maroon scores totaled 507, as against 330 for

the opposition, winning seven out of the eight I.I.A.C. tilts.

Carbondale, 111. Feb. -"Compulsory military training as a
permenent practice will not serve the interests of either

Robert Faner of the Southern Illinois Normal University faculty
last night,

Mr. Faner, associate professor of English, talked on the subject,
"Do We Want Compulsory Military Training," in the fourth of a series

"The plan for military training as advocated currently by President

Mr. Faner, since "It does not take sufficiently into account the
scientific advances which a future war must utilize."

Professor Faner further stated, "The plan cannot be defended as
an educational program, the organization and operation of the army
being what it is."

Following Mr. Faner' s address, the discussion was opened to the

Carbondale, 111., Feb. —A whole delegation of Fairfield
basket ball fans— 50 or 40 of ten— are coming to Carbondale next
Saturday night to see their favorite son's conference champs take
on another challenger.

The Fairfield fans arc coming to witness the play-off game
between Glenn "Abe" Martin's Southern Illinois Normal University
Maroons and Eureka College, both determined to go to Kansas City
March 11 to represent the 16th district in the national tournament.

Fairfield is proud of "Abe-" That's his home town, and that's
where he coached for three years, building up an undefeated team
his second and third years.

Martin is a product of Southern, where he was captain of
the University's only conference football championship team, in
1930. That same year he was chosen all-oonf erence loft halfback.
He also won letters in track for three years.

He took a flier at pro football right after he left the
University, but a year later went to Fairfield as coach. After
his Fairfield success, he taught and coached at Pontiac, 111.,
and had the elation of seeing his basket ball team in sectional

tournament plry.

He returned to the Southern campus in 1933 as assistant
football coach, became head coach in 1939, took on the head

director of athletics last summer.

Martin has produced outstanding basket ball teams the past
two years, leading the oonference right up to the last fight
both seasons. Last year the Maroons went to the national
tournament at Kansas City* but lost in the semi-finals.

This year, the Southerners put on the steam right through
the entire season, and captured the Illinois Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference title, as well as grabbing the high-scoring
record through the basket-locoing prowess of Don Shcffer,
Zei.-~l.er. who rolled up a total of 145 points in conference games.

Carbondale, 111. , March --Some "hints to civilians" might well be
the title for a recent article which a Southern Illinois Normal
University sociologist wrote.

Actually, Dr. Edward C. McDonagh entitled his article "Some Hints
to Professors," and offered tips to his academic colleagues on how to
treat the returned veterans who become students again.

But some of his suggestions for the classroom are sound advice
for the fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, wives and sweet-
hearts and friends of the returning veterans.
For example:

Don't manifest a "deference" to veterans' past rank in the Army--
"privates' will not appreciate references to the successes and
military status of high ranking non-coms and commissioned officers."

Don't rush him-- try to control his natural tendency to make up
for lost time.

Give him a feeling of status and importance. Call him lister —
"No title will seem as wonderful to the average soldier as 'Mister.'
such a title means that he is not a serial number, but a person with
personal freedom and importance."

Dr. McDonagh's article was published in the Bulletin of the

American Association of University Professors. He is also the author

of an article on "Aspects of Military Counseling," in the journal

Sociology and Social Research, and he and his wife, Louise McDonagh,

Carbondale, 111 ., March — Southern is "going to the people"to
find out what they want in the way of vocational and professional
training.

The new College of Vocations and Professions at Southern Illinois
Normal University is particularly aiming at adapting its training
program to the needs of the people, Dr. Henry J. Rehn, dean of
the college, points out.

As one means of finding out what the people want, the college
has been sending out two of its faculty members to ask questions of
industry, agriculture, and other groups- -Dr. Edward C. L'cDonagh,
associate professor of sociolog}?-, and Robert W. English, assistant
professor of industrial education.

"The College of Vocations and Prof essions, particularly, is trying
to build up curricula and courses of study of a vocational and
professional nature which will best serve the interests of students
who are interested in obtaining in Southern Illinois university
training that will enable them to live and work in the area in a
manner that will serve best the people of this portion of the state,"
Dean Rehn explained,

"We are also interested in making available training to those
people who can come to the University only for a short period of time-,
or who can come only for evening sessions," he continued.

Pointing out that development of such a program is "no easy
taskj' Dean Rehn declared that "the University fully appreciates the
fact that it does not know all the answers, and has, therefore,
started going to the people of the area."

Due to the increasing enrollment in the college and the need
for Dr. McDonagh and Mr. English in their own special departments,
both will take up full-time teaching in the spring term which opens
March 11.

"In spite of the loss of these two men," Dean Rehn said, "we
hope that this » going to the people' can be kept up.

"In addition to seeking advice and counsel off the campus, we
want also to get the advice and counsel of our own students on the
subject of how we can best serve Southern Illinois."

Carbondale, 111. , March 11 - As a means of accommodating increasing
numbers of returning veterans, Southern Illinois Normal University
today tightened scholastic requirements in a move to "weed out"
students who fail to make their grades.

The Advisory Council today voted to raise the grade-point average
required for passing from 2.75 to 3.00, and to reduce the term on which
a student may remain on probation from two terms to one term.

In other words, a student who falls below a grade point average
of 3.00 this spring will be placed on probation* If he has not
succeeded in raising his average by the end of the summer term (or, if
he does not go to summer school, by the end of the next fall term), he
is dropped from the University and may not re-register.

Students now on probation will be allowed until the end of the
summer term to bring up their grade averages, however.

Many University classes were filled by noon today as more than
1,400 students signed up on the opening day of registration for the
spring term. Especially popular with veterans were mathematics,
industrial education, and chemistry courses, the registration
committee reported.

The Advisory Council was hurriedly called into session today at
noon by President Chester F. Lay to consider some means by which all
veterans seeking to enroll might be accommodated. It was thought that

all comers could be cared for this spring, but that steps must be
taken to provide for even larger numbers of veterans in the summer

It was the unanimous opinion of the Advisory Council that
strengthening scholastic standards would eliminate students with the
poorest grades and thereby enable the University to take more veterans

/Another noteworthy Chapel program was presented at Southern

Illinois Normal University Thursday morning, March 14, when two

faculty members of the University revealed interesting historical

data on Southern Illinois to the students, Mr. David S. Mcintosh,

chairman of the music department, and Mr. John W. Allen, acting

director of the museum, were the contributing faculty members.

For many years Mr. Mcintosh has been collecting folk songs
from around the country, and Thursday morning he sang three without
instrumental accompaniment.

v,Black Jack David* was a ballad that originated about 1540
in Scotland during thereignof James V. The second, "Lonesome
GDOve," a lament of parting lovers, Mr. Mcintosh learned from a
citizen of Mc leansboro. It also originated in Engldndand
Scotland. The last number was a popular version of "Froggie Went
a Court in' ."

John W. Allen is perhaps one of the best authorities living
on the historical background of Southern Illinois. He has written
several books and pamphlets dealing with the subject, and is
working on surveys of the Southern Illinois counties. His talk
was entitled "Acres of Diamonds'' after the famous story by Russell
Conwell, in which common stones, shunned by the unaware, turned
out to be priceless diamonds.

"I sometimes think that a parallel exists in Southern Illinois,"
stated Mr. Allen. There are many valuable historical spots here if
"one would only take the time to look for them."

Among the locations he briefly described were the Free Bridge
of St. Louis, Waterloo, Cohokia, Valmeyer, New Design, Kaskaskia,
Chester, Sparta, Rockwood, Grand Tower, Brownsville, Columbia,
and Prairie du Rocher.

Ways and means of throwing alumni influence into the breach to
encourage high school students to enter the teaching field was
discussed at some length, Dr. Alexander explained.

A number of the representatives present were public school
administrators, who presented graphically the plight in which the
schools find themselves duo to lack of teachers.
I Other problems in which the new Joint Alumni Council evidenced
an interest were housing for students, legislation on appropriations
and other matters affecting higher education, and efforts to increase
the general public's interest in and appreciation for higher education.

Purposes of the new Joint Alumni Council are tor (1) provide an
opportunity for the various teachers college administrations and
representatives of the five alumni associations to consult concerning
mutual problems; (2) provide an opportunity to bring needs of the
colleges and needed expansions to the attention of the alumni; and
(3) provide an agency for a cooperative statewide approach to the
solution of mutual problems.

Carbondale, 111., March. 18 - In order to re- constitute a
democratic student self-government at Southern Illinois Normal
University, giving nearly 650 veterans a representation in student
affairs, University President Chester P. Lay today announced the
creation of a student- f acul ty committee to draft a new student
government charter.

At present the student body is voiceless, since the resignation
on February 21 of 15 members of the 16-member student council (the
16th member had already left the campus to enter the Merchant Marines).

In a letter to the former council members, President Lay pointed
out that "since three weeks have gone by since I invited the members
of the Student Council to reconsider their resignations and I have had
no kind of reply, I am compelled to take the initiative in providing
the students with the kind of effective student government to which
they are entitled and which they have not had since you resigned."

He cited that the original "'constitution of the student council,"
drafted some ten years ago, was written by Prof. E. G. Lentz, then
dean of men, and approved by then-president Roscoe Pulliam before it
was presented to the students.

"Your resignations have dissolved the student council," he said,
"and ever since you resigned no group has been in existence which
could initiate revisions to the constitution through the orderly
processes that have heretofore prevailed."

He invited the former council members as well as all other
individuals and groups to present any ideas or plans they may have hau
for effective student government to the special student-faculty
committee.

In announcing designation of this committee, the president called
attention to the fact that approximately 600 students are now in schoc
who were not here last fall— ralmost all of them veterans— and who

(more )

-2-

consequently have not had an opportunity to have representation in
the student government.

H e stressed the fact that students would have full participation
in the special student-faculty committee.

Chief complaint of the resigning members of the student council
was that since mid-winter they have lacked representation on the
advisory council of administration, as it was then coiled, which was
comprised entirely of administrative officials.

This year, under a new plan developed by the faculty, the council
of administration has become a jcint faculty-administration council,
with equal representation of the faculty and the administrative
officials of the University. In the reorganization no provision was
made for student representation, a plan which is in line with
practices generally prevailing at other universities.

President Lay said he had explained this plan in full to the
former student council, as soon as it was placed in effect, but had
invited them to submit to him a list of University committees on
which they felt students should be represented, since he firmly
believed in student participation.

He explained that the student council itself was the duly
constituted channel through which student opinion and student
recommendations could reach the University administration, and offered
personally to hold regular conferences with representatives of the
council or with the entire council if they so desired.

Carbondale, 111., March - High school seniors, do you want to
teach? Do you like children? If both your answers are "yes," perhaps
you ought to start down the road toward kindergarten teaching.

Several incentives exist which might influence high school
graduates to enter the field of kindergarten teaching were set
forth recently by three outstanding Southern Illinois educators during
a conference of the association of American Childhood Education at
Southern Illinois Normal University.

One of the speakers was University President Chester F. Lay,
who stated, "Teachers should be interested in the child, not
primarily in theories."

Mrs. Mabel Pulliam, University housing counselor giving the
parent's view, emphasized that a kindergarten should educate not
only the children, but also the parents by teaching parents to deal
with child problems. Social adjustment and good habit formation of
the child need to be understood by the parents, she pointed out.

"The State nov.- provides #40 per child for half a day," Goffrey
H. Hughes, Benton, county superintendent of Franklin County explained.
"This means that many schools can now draw state funds, and are
interested in including kindergartens in their schools. East St.
Louis alone is looking for 40 kindergarten teachers and many other
towns will be calling for trained kindergarten teachers."

Teachers should have special child training and should not be
experienced teachers of upper grades who are subject-matter conscious

Mr. Hughes stressed.

Kindergarten teaching is demanding e more specialized
education, and at the same time, is developing into a field of
opportunities, he declared.

All of the speakers called attention to the urgent need for
kindergarten teachers in Southern Illinois schools.

(Note to Editor: In view of the drastic shortage of teachers, which
is jeopardizing our public schools throughout the country, perhaps you
may be interested in publishing the following editorial calling
attention to the opportunities in the kindergarten field.)

KINDERGARTEN TEACHING A FINE OPPORTUNITY
(An Editorial)

There is a demand at the present time for good kindergarten
teachers, and. provision for development of an adequate child- training
program is on the way. The State now provides $40 per kindergarten
child for half a day. This means that many schools can now draw
state funds for inclusion of such departments in their schools.
East St. Touis alone is looking for 4-0 kindergarten teachers, and
many other towns will be calling for trained kindergarten teachers.

During a recent conference at Southern Illinois Normal University,
student members of the Association of American Childhood Education
heard education leaders of Southern Illinois discuss the purpose of
a kindergarten, and the training of the ideal kindergarten teacher.
The kindergarten is the path from the home to the school, and,
as such, partakes of the nature of each, these educators pointed out.
Hence, child development and social adjustment rather than subject
matter are of prime importance. The kindergarten should include a
few hours of supervision away from home and should educate not only
the child but also the parents by helping them solve their problems
with the children. It is one of the best sources for formation of
good habits In the child.

It is important that the demand for kindergarten teachers be
supplied with specially trained material. The teacher should first
of all be interested in the child, not fundamentally in theories.
Since there is also the danger of over- specialization, one educator
Urged that a broad general education be obtained first, then
specialization. It is not wise to take older teachers of upper grade?
who are subject-matter conscious and place them in charge of the
children. Instead, the purpose of this interest movement is to

encourage the young college student to enter the important field of
kindergarten teaching, and for this objective, special child training
is necessary. *

It is hoped that in view of tSfe serious need for teachers,
particularly in the kindergarten field, that the high school graduate-
of Southern Illinois during the next few years will give thoughtful
consideration to training for this important educational work.

Carbondale, 111., Mar.- Sascha Gorodnitski, Russian pianist,
and fourth and final guest artist of the 1945-46 concert season, will
appear at Southern Illinois Normal University in Shryock Auditorium
under the auspices of the Community Concert Association, March 25,
at 2 p. m.

A decade of achievement has established Sascha Gorodnitski
among the outstanding pianists of the day. In Hew York he has filled
more than fifty engagements, fifteen of them in Carnegie Hall where
his recitals and appearances with the New York Philharmonic- Symphony
Orchestra and the National Orchestral Association have made him a
public favorite.

Gorodnitski has toured extensively throughout the United States
and Canada and appeared in Latin- America. Three times he has been
soloist at the famous Worcester festival. Major orchestras with which
he has appeared, besides those of New York, include the Detroit,
Cleveland, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Cincinnati symphonies. Recitals
have introduced him to all parts of the United States, Canada, and Cuba

Born in Kiev, Russia, Gorodnitski was brought to this country
before he was a year old. He comes of a musical family, since his
mother was a pianist and singer, his brother a 'cellist, his sister a
violinist. A cousin, still in Russia, is head of the violin department
at Leningrad Conservatory, succeeding Leopold Auer. An uncle is a
conductor. In Russia, Gorodnitski' s father was head of a private
school, and he opened a music conservatory after coming to America.

Sascha Gorodnitski ! s talent was discovered by his mother, who
gave him his first piano lessons. He later studied with Josef
Lhevinne. Not allowed to be a child prodigy, he was a mature artist
when he made his debut as winner of the Schubert Memorial Prize — the
prize being an introductory appearance with the New York Philharmonic-
Symphony.

Carbondale, 111., April —The world is "polarized" today by the only great
powers remaining in existence — the United States and Russia, Sherwood Eddy, 75-
year-old religious leader, philosopher, author, and lecturer, declared here today .

Eddy addressed the student body at Southern Illinois ITormal University here
at ^h& weekly assembly.

Both the United States and Russia have "isolationist" tendencies and are
"suspicious of foreign entanglements," he asserted.

"Today we — the United States — are the rich reactionary country on the -fight
which did not advocate freedom for the smaller countries at the San Francisco
Conference," he said. "Instead of looking toward the United States for leadership
in advocating freedom and tolerance, these smaller countries are now looking
toward Russia."

Eddy counted off four "great laws" — justice, brotherhood, liberty, and love<

which must be obeyed if "w» are to build, a new man within and a new world without .''

The Anglo-Saxons have stood for liberty and for vital religious freedom,
but have fallen down on justice and brotherhood, he asserted. Russia, on the
other hand, fails on liberty and on religion, while standing prominently for
justice and brotherhood of all men.

He cited that Russia is "breaking the world's record" in education of her
people, reporting that nine-tenths of the Russian people can read and write, and
that nine-tenths of her youth are registered in the elementary schools. "There
are more Russian youth in high school than England has ever had," he said.

Pointing to the fact that 4 J million men were rejected as physically
unfit by the United States army, and declaring th t this country "neglects 40
million in poverty, beyond the reach of medical assistance," he deplored the
existence of "billionaires and poverty" existing side by side in this country.
"Don1 t look down on Russia with contempt or patronage until we clear out
our house," he urged.

"What is our own educational system for but to raise leaders to build a new
country on the cornerstones of justice, brotherhood, liberty, and love?" he asked.
Dr. Eddy's visit here was sponsored by the T.oung Hen's Christian Association
for which he served as secretary in Asia for many years.

Pearson 6-2, 6-8, 3-6; and John Maguire (Carbondale) whipped St.
Louis Ian Bill Muenz 2-6, 6-2, 6-3.

in the doubles, it looked like an easy Southern win as Harry
Meng (Belleville) and Lelich jumped on Bob Pearson and Bob Copelend
to give the Maroons an easy 6-0, 6-0 win, but the Bears took the
finale when George Hendry and Bill Ziorvogel took a 6-4, 6-4 victory

from Church and pulley.

Carbondale, 111-, April —On Saturday, April 27, the Southern Illinois Normal
University track squad will journey to St. Louis where the Washington University
Bears will play host in a dual meet. The affair was scheduled to be a triangular
one, hut the University of Arkansas, the third member, withdrew, leaving it .
strictly an Illinois-Missouri battle.

The Southern Maroons will go into the fray with an untarnished record of
three wins and no defeats for the current season, their wins coming at the
expense of Western Illinois State Teachers College, Illinois State Formal University
and Southeastern Missouri State Teachers College.

The Washington Bears have just been subjected to a 125§ to 5§ defeat at the
hands of the University of Missouri, which was probably the most one-sided affair
in the history of the school, Coach Art Eilers declared.

However, Leland "Doc" Lingle, Maroon track coach, is keeping his men in the
best possible shape to vrithstcnd a possible "bouncing-back" by the Hilltoppers.

tean on April 27.

"We will have a tough time beating them again, especia;ly if we have to play
on tb© indoor courts," Freeburg declared.

The Maroons will send a six-man squad on the St. Louis invasion, the same six
men that handed the 9-0 setback to the Southeast Missouri Teachers.

They are Bruce Church of Carbondale, Joe Pulley of Marion, Hoy Leilich of
New Athens, John Maguire of Carbondale* Harry Meng of Belleville* and a sixth

Carbondale, 111., April- Across the street from the Southern Illinois Itormal
University campus stands Southern's Home Management House.

The "Practice House," as it is more commonly called by the students, since
1940 has provided the home economics majors with a practical method for learning

home management.

The eight room house is furnished comfortably and in general on the level of
the average American home. It is supervised by Miss Gladys Babcock, assistant

professor of home economics.

The Home Management course is offered to home economics majors for six weeks
during the spring term of each year. Prerequisite is a theory course in which the
students study the skills involved in home management. The remaining six weeks of
the term is spent off-campus in practice teaching. Students who complete a degree
in this field are qualified to teach home economics under the Smith-Hughes program.

Six girls are living in the "Practice House" at the present tine. They are
Alma Farrar of Venice; Jane Swafforcl, West Frankfort; June Laurie, Gillespie;
Marguerite Barra, Johnston City; Lois Lay, Carbondale; and Margaret Craig, Herrin.

Financial responsibility for the house and utilities is assumed by the
University, while food, entertainment, laundry, small home incidentals, etc., are
provided for by a nana! weekly fee required of each girl.

"When the girls move into the house," said Miss Babcock, "they organize the
work and assign themselves to certain duties for a period of one week each. In _
this way they may take advantage of all the opportunities offered in the care of
the home. In general, the different jobs seem to fall under the headings of host,
hostess, housekeeper, cook, and assistants.

"In these duties," Miss Babcock continued, "the girls invariably have the

(more)

2
experience of directing the work of others and of teaching those who are not as
familiar with the work required.

"Hot the least of their training is in what I like to call «enotional climate.'
It is one of our aims to solve any problems the girls nay have in getting along

well together.

"When they have finished the Home Management course, they have had a bit of
experience in the management of tine, energy, money, and human resources," she

concluded.

In the immediate future, Miss Babcock would like to acquire a well-equipped
laundry in the "Practice House." Later on, it is hoped that a baby can be
temporarily "adopted," so that the hone economics students can study child care.

In a recent survey of 44.0 colleges and universities in the United States,
70 per cent were found to have hone management houses, while only 46 of these
had adopted babies.

Another plan for the near future is to expand this educational course to
include students who are not hone economics majors, but are interested in the
training it offers to eventual honenakers.

Carbondale, 111., April — Delrr.ar W. Olson, assistant professor
of industrial education at Southern Illinois Normal University has
just received word that his photographic print, "Hands in Clay, " has
been hung in the 1946 St. Louis International Salon of Photography.

The St. Louis International is one of the top-ranking salons
in the world and in which amateur and professional photographers
alike aspire to have their prints hung. More than two thousand
prints from photographers in several countries were entered this
year, out of which some two hundred were selected.

Mr. Olson's print pictures the hands of a potter forming clay
on the potter's wheel. The photo was taken while the potter was at
work, raving a feeling of realism to .the cool moist clay and the wet

hands.

A side-light on the print selection is that this photo was

judged in competition with those of Axel Bahnsen, internationally

known pic torialist, and under whose tutelage Mr. Olson studied at
the Dayton, Ohio Art Institute,

The salon is now on exhibit at the St. Louis Art Museum.

Hornsby and Jack Ryan, sports editor of the Chicago Daily Times,

batting and fielding, to his enthusiastic. and cheering audience.
Assisting him were his eon, Bill, who'wa,s recently discharged from

Carbondale, 111-, April —The Carbondale post of the American
Legion Tuesday night, holding a joint meeting with Gamma Iota Alpha,
Southern Illinois Normal University's student- veteran organization,
voted unanimously to support the veterans in their pleas and plans
for both emergency and permanent housing.

Commander E. D. Barnes of the American Legion appointed a
committee of businessmen and other interested persons which will
cooperate with the G. I. organization to seek out suitable temporary
housing for single veterans. Housing for married veterans will also

be sought later.

A plan for permanent housing was also discussed. A War Memorial
in the form of a large dormitory was tentatively suggested, to be
erected near the campus. .The initial funds would be raised by
contributions from the various communities of Southern Illinois, and
the remainder of the costs would be paid by a long range plan of
self- liquidation.

This Memorial Plaza would take much time and planning and the
cooperation of all Southern Illinois, but would provide some of the
much-needed permanent housing that is needed at the University, and
would be a more fitting memorial to Southern Illinois veterans than
one of purely ornament such as a statue or tablet, it was explained.

to both follow a precedent and at the time set a new one at Southern

Following the tradition of leaving a gift to the university, the
seniors voted last week to make their farewell monument in form of a
cash gift— to start a nest egg for a proposed student union building.

"We feel that such a contribution will be far more meaningful

formation at Southern Illinois Normal University.

Interested students met this week under the leadership of
Edgar Ellis, junior from East St. Louis, and discussed the
possibilities for developing such a club.

The club is open to any student interested in aviation whether
or not he or she has had previous flight instruction. Objectives of
the group are to provide flying opportunities for veterans who are
licensed pilots or have had some instruction , and to secure pre-
flight instruction courses at the University.

David McNeill, operator of the Egyptian Flying Service located
in Carbondale, offered instruction and the use of his field and
equipment to the club at special low rates.

"I am Interested in furthering aviation from the standpoint of
making it practical for folks to use," he said.

McNeill is prepared to give training for private pilot's license
and also the commercial license, if there is sufficient demand. He
informed the club that if the college were to set up a ground school,
the veteran could get financial aid for the training. In addition,
state scholarships are available.

A number of faculty members arc qualified to give basic
instruction of the typo needed.

of Richard F. Dunn of Normal, chairman, Lindell ?.-. Sturgis of
Metropolis, and Kiss Harriett A. I'dntire of Kendota, will do legal ,
research to see whether Southern is prohibited from borrowing funds

a project, President Lay said.

our solution to the student housing problem. It would also enable

Carbondale, 111., April --Co-eds living in the home economics
practice house at Southern Illinois Normal University cut their
calories one day this week to 1,500— the essential daily diet of the
better-fed European peoples.

By striking out bread for the entire day and substituting fruit
for the orginally planned rice pudding, Jane Swafford of West
Frankfort, hostess for this week, managed to bring Tuesday's menu
down to the 1, 500- calorie mark.

Both the practice house, where borne economics seniors out into
practice the theories the- have learned in the classroom, and Anthony
Kail girls dormitory, are bringing their menu in line with the
government's Famine Emergency Campaign.

The 35 girls living at Anthony Hall have already been eating
wheat flour substitutes of commeal, oatmeal, soymeal, and rye flour.

Fried foods are a thing of the past, and desserts are limited
to fruits— no pastries, Miss Minnette Barber, faculty director of
the dormitory, explained.

"We serve meat only for dinner, and have fish one day a week,"
Miss Barber said. An extra vegetable frequently takes the place of
bread, and butter is being served in half-pats for those who do not
want a whole pat.

At the practice house, the girls agreed to cut down on bread
comsumption by' serving more potatoes and hominy grits, and by using
buckwheat flour for pancakes which will take the place of cereals
anc1 toast, Fiss Gladys W. Babcock, assistant professor of home
economics and supervisor of the practice house, explained.

Pastries at the practice house will be limited to those
absolutely required for training of each co-ed who takes her turn at
cooking for the group, she said.

A new group of students will move in at the practice house next

week, Fiss Eabcock said, and will have the opportunity of making
their own decisions about how to conserve food.

Carbondale, 111., April --reviewers are high In their praise of
The Bridge of Years, ne~'r novel 'by May Sarton, who will be poet in
residence at Southern Illinois Formal University during the summer
term.

The Bridge of Years, said the New York Herald Tribune in review,
"is in effect a modern and very beautiful Pilgrim's Progress of a
whole family achieved in no far-away terrain of a seventeenth century
mystic's imagination but in the real and sordid world of Europe
1910-1940."

The review further stated that Hiss Sarton wrote with rich
understanding this story of a Belgian family in the devastating
period, and gave at least one brilliant answer to the often-asked
question: What could any individual or family have done against
the tide of Nazi-minded inhumanity and prejudice that were sweeping
along toward total war.

The warm and hunanly emotional story presents Paul Duchesne,
philoso .her and writer who foresaw the approaching abyss, his
courageous wife, Melanie, and their three daughters, in their
preparation to resist the fingers of Fascism, anti-Semitism, and
Nazism.

A World War I refugee from Belguin, hiss Sarton also has
written Encounter in April, and Inner Landscape, poems, and The
Single Hound, a novel. She spoke to the University student body
here last November.

Courses which she will teach this summer are "A Background for
Modem Poetry," and "Tie Teaching of ^oetry, " to emphasize modern
poets, the reading aloud of poetry, and "What Poetry Is About."

control of rent prices for all students of Southern,
of H err in
Paul Helms/ Southern's president of G.I. A., made this statement

following the G.I. A. action:

"At present, with no O.P.A. control, rent for students has gone
beyond reason in most cases. With the large number of veterans
already returned, and many more returning each day, the present rent
prices are a serious problem to the student- veteran, whether he is
married or single.-

"Temporary housing for single veterans to be occupied next fall
is being considered now; but suitable housing for all, Including
married veterans, cannot be found until the entire rental situation
is clarified and improved.

"Up to now, nothing concrete has been done or promised that
would alleviate the situation, but many influential persons are
lobbying in many places for the veterans to get a square deal. The

students themselves have been waiting and hoping for help to come
from somewhere with solutions to their problems.

"Gamma Iota Alpha proposes to take the initiative in
crystal! zing student opinion on behalf of the restoration of rent
control . "

Carbondale, 111., April -- Looking for their fifth win in as
many starts, the Southern Illinois Normal University tracksters
will entertain the Southeastern Missouri State Teachers in a dual

Lingle, invaded Cape Girardeau last April 23, they came back with a
82 1/3 — 48 2/3 win in their record books. The Lingle -men will be
looking for a clean sweep over their Missouri neighbors when the
two squads tangle again, this time on the MacAndrew Stadium track in

Carbondale, 111., April -- San Jose scale is an ever present
menace to fruit trees of Illinois, and is especially severe in the
Southern third of the st..,te, according to a report by Stewart C.
Chandler, consulting entomologist for Southern Illinois Normal
University, and field entomologist for the Illinois Natural History
Survey,

Apple and peach especially may require annual spraying in order
to hold it in check, Chandler points out, 'Hie Survey examines from
150 to 200 orchards each year, about equally divided among apple
and. peach, in the principal fruit growing counties of Southern
Illinois.

In the 15- year period of 1950-1944 there were high peaks of
infestation about every third year. During these ye:rs from 40 per
cent to 50 per cent of the apple orchards and from 58 per cent to
72 per cent of the peach orchards had "moderate to severe"
infestations. Those years were 1931, 1954, 1937, and 1944.

Infestations in peach orchards are almost always higher then
in apple orchards. This is true not only in orchards side by side
but also in those interplanted, peach and apple together. Factors
which may play a part in this condition are the differences in plant
susceptibility, and oils and sprays which are applied for various
insects more frequently to apple than to peach.

According to the Survey, variations from year to year may be
due to winter mortality, length of breeding season, parasites and

( mo re )

predators, and control by the grower. Appreciable numbers of the San
Jose scale are killed each winter by low temperatures, the counts of
survival ranging from 2 per cent to 75 per cent by spring, after
the cold of winter has passed.

San Jose scale reproduces as long as the weather is reasonably
warm. It may be found in December, following mild weather in
November. At other times there is little after November even in the
extreme southern acres of Illinois.

Parasites and predators is a very important factor for in some
years big percentages have been found destroyed by their insect
enemies. It has frequently been found that the increase in the host
insect will bring about so great an increase in its enemies that it
is reduced to a point that results in lack of food for the parasites
in which case the parasites and predators die off themselves.

Growers do a thorough job of spraying during peak years but at
other timer may not realize the seriousness of the situation since
San Jose scale Is hard to see unless massed by thousands. It is
possible that the special efforts made by growers to reduce the
population is another factor in these periodical fluctuations.

Carbondale, 111., April — Many points of historical interest in Southern
Illinois will he visited hy the Illinois Historical Association under the direction
of John W. Allen, curator of the Southern Illinois Normal University Museum, on ' -.

May 11.

A guide booklet containing their mapped route is "being prepared in its entirety
hy Mr. Allen, Lorraine Waters of Percy, graduate student and Allen' a research
assistant, and Doris Morgan of Sparta, student artist. Pen and Ink sketches and
short descriptions of each destination point will make this publication "both
colctfful and unique.

Hardin, Pope, Saline, and Gallatin counties will be best represented on the
one-day trip. Some of the historical landmarks that the Association will view are
the first Masonic organization site in Illinois, located at Equality; Old, and
New Shawneetown, with its Hickory Hill Cemetary; Nigger Springs; Indian Mounds;
Ford's Ferry Road; Cave-in-Rock; Rose Hotel in Elizabeth town; Government Dam #51;
the Illinois and Martha iron furnaces; Harrisburg; Mitchellsville> and many others.

Prom the short descriptions in the guide book come these samples of Illinois
history which the group will see firsthand:

Thacker's Gap is located among a range of hills that proved to be a great
hindrance for immigrants crossing the Ohio and going north and east. It was one
of the few passages and played a part in the growth of Elizabethtown.

Pounds' Hollow is located in southern Gallatin County about three miles west
of State Highway #1. A mesa-like formation near Pounds' Hollow has sides which
are almost precipitious except for the narroi* neck at the south. Across the narrow
part, settlers found a substantial stone wall which they thought was a fortification
of an earlier race.

Mr. Allen suggests that it might have been a game enclosure, or that it might
have been built by earlier whites. Four other similar structures exist in Southern
Illinois. Pounds1 Hollow has been dammed and has resulted in a beautiful lake.

The Old Slave House is on the crest of a hill one-half mile southwest of the
intersection of Highways # 1 and # 13. It is a three-story frame house with brick-
filled walls. The first two floors were used by the owner, John Crenshaw, as his
home, and the third floor as quarters for slaves which he kept to work in the salines
he had leased. There are small closet-like rooms containing shelves or bunks about
20 inches wide and 6 feet long, once used as beds for the slaves*

Carbondale, 111., May 3 --Groans and cheers were rife on the
Southern Illinois Normal University campus these last few days
as students and faculty prepared to go on daylight saving time
Saturday, May 4.

Bus schedules here will remain on standard time, so students
are having a hectic time figuring out the time lapse as they leave
their residence halls to go home for the week-end.

"I'll get home before I leave here," one co-ed quipped.

For example, Harrisburg also is on daylight saving time, and
apparently so is the bus station there. One student figured it
this way; "I leave here at 5:05 in the afternoon and don't get
to Harrisburg until 7:45, two hours and forty minutes. But coming
back, I leave there at 10:05 and get here at 10:45, only forty
minutes. "

"We'll all h ve to carry two watches," still another declared.

"We'll have to come in from dates an hour earlier," a comely
blond mourned. "But we'll start an hour earlier," her roommate

Carbondale, 111,, May --Allotment of 100 additional family
dwelling units for student veteran housing to Southern Illinois
Normal University by the Federal public Housing Authority will
brine Southern's total to 155 such units, President Chester p. Lay

reports.

Announcement of the 100-imit allocation was made in Chicago
Wednesday by Orvil R. Olmsted, director of region III for the FPPIA.
This number is in addition to the 55 earlier allocated to Southern.

"The Federal Government requires that these units be located
at Federal-owned properties, if such properties are available
within 25 miles of the university," President Lay pointed out.

"This means that these units if accepted by the State would
be located at the Illinois Ordnance plant at Crab Orchard.

"It is proposed to convert certain buildings at the ordnance
Plant into family dwelling units,", he explained. "Considerable
expenditures by the State of Illinois would be required if these
units are to be secured for University students, although it Is
expected that the Federal Government itself would spend several
times that amount-in addition to any State funds that might be
expended- in making the units available."

The University has worked out arrangements with the FPHA to
turn over to the University the dormitories at the ordnance plant
for housing some 200 student veterans, and only acceptance of this
agreement by the State of Illinois remains before the negotiations
can be completed, President Lay said.

The University president said, he would confer next week with
members of the University's advisory committee of the State Teachers
College Board, in regard to the ordnance plant housing project, and
hoped that contracts could be signed shortly.

Carbondale, 111., May —An exhibit of sketches of Roscoe
risselhorn, native Southern Illinois artist, will go up at Southern
Illinois Normal University here May 20, to remain on display
during the early summer.

Working chiefly with pencil and pen-and-ink, Mr. risselhorn
has directed his attention to scenes of an historical and scenic
nature, such as old buildings, rustic scenes and historic sites,
in various parts of Illinois.

Some of the sketches depict famous buildings in Randolph
County, particularly the remains of Old Ilaskaskia, first white
settlement west of the Alleghenies.

I.lr. Misselhorn's work has attracted national recognition in
art circles. Recently many of the sketches to be shown here
were exhibited at the Central Public Library in St. Louis.

A native of Sparta, Illinois, he has spent most of life in
that Southern Illinois town. He won a scholarship in the School
of Fine Arts at Washington University at St. Louis, where he

Carbondale,Ill.,May -Establishment of a scholarship fund to
bring foreign students to Southern Illinois Normal TjniversL ty has
been announced by District 149 of Rotary International, University
officials have been informed by Roy Vail Jordan, district governor

of Rotary.

This is the first such scholarship established by Rotary in
Illinois. It will be financed by contributions of $1 per member in

the district.

The resolution setting up the scholarship fund pays high
tribute to the University and indicates the values to obtained from
the endowment of study by foreign students here. It read in part:

"WHEREAS, The Southern Illinois Normal University has lately
been recognized as having University status by the Commission on
Colleges and Universities of the North Central Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools, and

"YJHEREAS, the inland location of The Southern Illinois Normal
University militates against its receiving enrollments of foreign

students, and

"VJHEREAS, the attendance of students from the American Republics
i south of- the bordert would contribute largely to the Fourth Object
of Rotary, International Friendship through International Acquain-
tance, through their acquaintanceship with the students of S.I.N.U.
as well as through contacts which they might make speaking on the
programs of various clubs of District 149, now, therefore, be it,

"RESOLVED, that the member clubs of District 149, Rotary
international, do hereby establish a Scholarship Fund at The Southe n
Illinois Normal University to be known as the Fourth Object Scholar-
ship Fund of The 149th District, Rotary International...."

In accepting the scholarship fund, which he termed "a

magnificent service," University President Chester P. Lay explained

"Through the years the benefits will progressively cumulate, benefits

both to our own people in Southern Illinois and in our country's

relationships."

(more)

Mr. Jordan, in describing the scholarship fund to Rotarians

of this district, called attention to the fact that Southern has
recently added an authority on Latin- American affairs, Dr. Robert
E. McNicoll, to its history faculty for the summer.

"The time has come when we should cease to look on Southern
Illinois, Egypt, as merely a oart of a state or of the United States--
as a Cinderella waiting for a Prince Charming to come with the gloss
slipper," he declared. "wc should look upon Egypt as an empire,

"With its rich stores of minerals, its fertile and diversified
soils, its beautiful scenery, with its marvelous water supply, with
its climate of Virginia, this land bounded by the three great
rivers..,. is intrinsically the richest piece of territory of equal
extent in the world.

"And it is tine we woke up to the fact that wc live in a rich
empire- -and quit looking upon Egypt as the humblest and poorest of
all the Cinder ell as.

"And serving this empire, we have a great educational institution
which was recently recognized, as : university, authorized to grant
bachelor's degrees in the Vocational Arts and the Liberal Arts and
Bachelor's and heater's degrees in the field of Education. It is
prepared to serve the million or more population of Egypt, ;mc. it is
the only recognized university in the area.

"I refer, of course, to the Southern Illinois Normal University.
Now it happens that because of its inland location, Southern does not,
as a rule, Yio.vc foreign students in its enrollment. The Rotary Clubs
of District 149 could do a grdat international service for providing
for Fourth Object scholarships in our own Southern University at
Carbondo.lc.

"If we had students enrolled there from south of the border, I
think it would be mutually beneficial for both the foreign students
and out own. . . .We shall never get along with the other countries of
the world until wc know them as neighbors.

"I feel, without a doubt, we should first devote our energies
and our funds to aiding foreign students to study ?t our own
university. Too long has the wealth of Egypt gone forth to enrich
other parts of the world when more of it should have remained at home/'

purposes. Dr. Young states that mock-ups are to be made from it, which are units
for demonstration of the various principles of physics. The Thunderbolt is valued

honorary referee for the 27th annual track meet of the Illinois
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference to be held at Normal, Fay 18.

Lingle will be attending his 20th II AC meet, the 19th as a
staff member.

Ordinarily, the distinction of serving as honorary referee for
the annual conference meet goes to a college president or other
academic official.

Lingle 's Southern Maroons are in top spot among conference
contenders, having defeated three of the four member schools. The
Maroons are particularly strong in weight events, both low and
high hurdles and in distance running,

While not a "brilliant" team, the Croons this season have
shown themselves a well-balanced aggregation, depending on teamwork
rather than the efforts of one or two scintillating stars, a
situation which Lingle finds entirely in line with his philosophy
of team work Instead of spectacular individuals.

Carbondale,Ill.,May —Coach Leland "Doc" Lingle and his Southern
Illinois Normal University tracksters will invade Normal, 111. , on Saturday,
May 18, to participate in the Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
track meet, which is held every year at the end of the regular track season.
Southern has been picked to take the high honors in the affair "by such
an expert as Fred Young, sports editor of the Bloomington Pantagraph. hut the
Maroon mentor expects stiff competition, especially from Eastern and Northern .

In the books, it looks like Southern all the way, as the Lingle-men have
chalked up five wins in the regular dual meets of the season and have placed
fourth in the Elmhurst Invitational; but, as Lingle points out, records can be
sot aside when these five schools clash in any sport.

Southern has met and defeated the following opponents this season: Western
Illinois State Teachers College; Illinois State Normal University; Southeastern
Missouri State Teachers College; Washington University; and Eastern Illinois
State Teachers College. All of the victories were by rather lop-sided scores.
However, it was proved in the Elmhurst affair that Southern will have a tough
time in the multi-team meet.

Southern has been strongest in the weights, hurdles, and distances so far
this season, and therein lies the Maroons' hopes for the conference championship.

In a team studded with returned war veterans, the weights squad consists of
Quentin Stinson of Eldorado, Earl Robert of Carlyle, and John Algce of Carbondale,

In the hurdles, the Maroons are represented by Charles Beatty of Benton,
Jack Hayse of Benton, Roy Ragsdale of DeSoto, and Dick Eggors of Chester.

In the distances, it is Louis Pechineno of Christopher, Dick Avis of
Johnston City, Jim Gall i tan of Carlyle, Glen Hamilton of Pinckneyville, Leonard
Burden of Johnston City, and Bob Smith of Marissa.

State Normal does not have a very impressive record for the current season,

having lost to Southern and Eastern; out the Red Birds have 136611 effective in
their triangular meets, finishing second in the DeKalh fray, and winning their
own three-cornered meet. In the Elmhurst Invitational, the Redhirds finished

fifth.

Individual stars at Normal have "been Bloico Bess, a junior from Morion, Ind.,
who works in the discus and high hurdles; Bill Howard, a sophomore from Farmer
City, is active in the pole vault, high jump, and hroad jump, and is the high
individual scorer of the team? John Kettlekamp, a sophomore from Stronghurst,
and a hurdlee-man; Warren "Ike" LaBounty, holder of the all-time McCormick Field
pole vault record of 12!6 3/4 " . The rest of the team is an unknown quantity,
as Coach Cogdal' s squad has been plagued by injuries and sickness all season.

Eastern has not had much competition this season hut owns a c'.ual meet win
over State Normal. However, they have "been dumped by Southern in a dual meet
and they finished last in a triangular tiff at Indiana State. They were not
represented fully at the Elmhurst Invitational, ending up with only 9 3/4 points.

The major threat of Eastern is LoRoy LaRose, high point man, and he workss
with the shot put, discus, and javelin. He has earned 46j points this season;
his best shot put mark is 46'$"; he has "beaten the conference shot put record
in each meet except against Southern.

Amazingly weak this season is Northern, with Ronald Rieken, a quart er-miler,
their only hope.

Western's strength appears to he concentrated in the dashes and the hurdles.

For Southern, Stinson has thrown the discus 134* , Rohert has put the shot
143' 9", Davidson has hurled the javelin 1621 . On the cinder path, Algee has
run the 100-year-dash in 10,2", Pechineno the mile in 4' 44.8" , G-allitan the one-

Carbondale, 111,, May--"The Home of Champions"-- that is the
name that many sports experts are affixing to Southern Illinois
Normal University, and they're not far from wrong vhen the record
books are examined. Southern has annexed four conference
championships this last school year— four, count *em.

The track and tennis squads made their bid for fame only List
Saturday vhen, at the l.I.A.C. meets at Normal, the Maroons ran
off with everything but the referees whistle while taking the
track and tennis crowns. The tricksters, coached by Leland P.
("Doc") L ingle, broke all existing scoring records in the meet
by oiling up 86 points while winning six first places.

Txe tennis squad, mentored by William preeburg, virtually
over- whelmed all opposition as they took first place in all of the
four divisions in the meet and wound up with a total of 19 points
while their opponent, State Normal, could garner only 4 markers.

The Maroon's began their winning ways last fall when Southern
harriers, directed by "Doc" Lingle, hit their stride on the hill
and dale course at Normal, and brought back the l.I.A.C.
cross-country championship to Carbondale

Basket Ball goach Glenn "Abe" Martin, made Carbondale
temporarily the "basket ball Capitol of the world" when, after
copaing the I.I.A.C. title, he took his cagers to Kansas City
and directed them to the Intercollegiate Championship crown
against some of the best the country had to offer.

The Maroons are an example of the improving quality of the
post-war teams all over the country that are studded with veterans,
as their Southern tennis team was made up entirely of veterans and
a goodly portion of their track team was the same.

The Southern athletes will rest on their laurels for the rest
of the summer and then they will prepare to defend their hard -won
crowns against opposition that will be gunning for them next
season.

the remnants of last year's team, and Martin is hard at work to

pro due e re s ul ts .

In quite a few seasons, but don't forget that the other schools will

be similarly Improved," Martin said.

Martin reported that he aid not know exactly which of fens e he
would use this season, but that it would be the "beat offence suited

Carbondalc, 111., June— College diplomas "wither" like cut
flowers unless the graduate "replants" his creative intelligence
from the classroom into professional and community life.

Thus Dean Charles 7. Gilkey of the University 0f Chicago Chapel
admonished the 183 graduates of Southern Illinois Normal University
here today (Monday, June 3) at the baccalaureate service which
opened Senior Week.

The graduating class, including 3 candidates for the master's
degree, 60 veterans, embraces both those completeing their work
this term and those who will finish during the summer term June 10-
August 2.

A busy round of social entertainments will engage the seniors
for the remainder of the week, culminating Friday morning in
commencement exercises, at which Dr. "illlam Spricgcl, professor
of management at Northwestern University, will be the guest speaker.

Urging the graduates to deepen their roots in religious faith
and hope, Dean Gilkey in his baccalaureate address Monday declared
that "no intelligent person expects these next years to be easy

ones. "

He reminded the graduates how quickly the cut flowers that
adorn their graduation celebration wither and arrive on the ash-heap,
and asked whether this would prove true also of the enriching
experiences and new capacities which arc the seeds planted by

(mo re )

-2-

higher education, "in promise of a better future for the individual
and for the common weal."

"College diplomas," he pointed out, "are only cut flowers
unless creative intelligence is replanted from the class-rooms
where undergraduates are students, into the schools and the
communities where they become teachers.

"This in turn requires that such intelligence rooted in the
moral experience of the race, and in the deepening character of the
individual. quisling was the top scholar in his clsss: but this did
not keep him from becoming the most notorious traitor of our
generation.

"Our hope of any lasting peace, and of the development of any
better democracy at home, likewise depend upon such deepening rootage
in the life of the average citizen. Our American public schools
offer the possibility of this to every generation: but never with
such high stakes of failure or success dependent on the outcome,
as in the atomic age which has already dawned,

"In such a critical time, personal rootage in religious faith
and hope is more than ever important for those who would play a
creative part: but there is a vast amount of "cut- flower religion"
in American life to-day. No intelligent person expects these next
years to be easy ones. "It is the more necessary for those who
would weather their storms : and fulfill their possibilities, to
get their own roots down deep,"

publisher of the Hamburg (Iowa) Reporter, declared here this morning
(June 8) at a Southern Illinois Newspaper Editors Conference held at
Southern Illinois Normal University.

The two-day conference was held in conjunction with the annual
spring meeting of the Southern Illinois Editorial Association.

The editors were guests of the University at a banquet Friday
evening, at which University President Chester F. Lay spoke on "The
Press and Education: Twin Beacons for an Enlightened World."

President Lay reminded the editors that the press and education
are both inherent in the American way of life; that they have similar
canons of impartiality, objectivity, analytical evaluation, seeking
and disseminating the truth; that both have a profound Influence on
the course of human affairs,

"At no time in history has, an enlightened, informed people been
so essential— not just for the welfare of the local community, the
state, the region, the nation--but for the very existence of the .?i
entire world," he declared.

"In this day of uncertainty, confusion, doubt and fear, both
the press and education must throw the cold light of reason on the
problems of the world, to help the people themselves find the answers."

In meeting its own obligations, he said, Southern Illinois Formal
University seeks the suggestions and counsel of the press of
Southern Illinois.

"Southern is a state- supported university," he pointed out.,
"It belongs to the people of Illinois, of Egypt. You are entitled
to any facts which you desire as to its operation, its plans, its
problems. "

"It will take the loyalty and interest and active support of
all the million and a quarter people oT Southern Illinois to build
a great university here," he declared..

Mr. Hill, who has won state* regional and national awards for
sommunity service, told the editors that "newspapers must re-
emphasize local news, develop a. -warm friendly contact with the public

(more )

-2-

and give more thought to the human relationships which go to make

newspapers great in their own communities."

"Your community is just what you make it," he declared.. "The
harder you work for it the better. In this atomic age you cannot
keep your town on the map with a pea shooter, and if you build right
the somraunity is going to know, realize and appreciate the fact that
your newspaper has power and plenty of it."

At the Friday afternoon session of the Southern Illinois
Editorial Association, called to order by Kenneth J. Tollman,
Millstadt, president, speakers were Tom Lee, Tarissa Messenger;
Arthur D. Jenkins, Ma scout ah herald; Curt G. Small, Earrisburg Daily
Register; Charles Crowder, Flora Sentinel; and C. C. Feirich,

Subjects up for discussion included machinery, legislation,
veterans' on-the-job training, advertising service, and the Flora
Sentinel's "Hour of Charm at Flora" promotional program.

Gen. Robert W. Davis, Carbondale Free Press, and member of the
State Teachers College Board, presided at the Friday night dinner,
while Jos. B. Campbell, Nashville Journal, president of the Illinois

Carbondale, 111., June — Chosen from among some 300 applicants, a graduate of
Southern Illinois Normal University has received one of the 30 pre-doctoral
fellowships given "by the American Chemical Society, according to Dr. J. W. Neckers,
chairman of the Southern chemistry department.

Frank L. Holloway, to study at Chicago under his fellowship, was graduated
from Southern in 1942 with a major in chemistry. He received a graduate fellowship
at Ohio University, where he continued his work toward the doctor of philosophy
degree until he joined the Navy.

T-e American Chemical Society fellowships come from a $100,000 fund allocated
by the society for awards to advanced students in the field of chemistry and
chemical engineering whose training was interrupted by the war.

The awards consist of up to $1,200 per year for single men, $1,800 for
married men, plus a maximum of $500 per year tuition, with three years as the
maximum period of training.

Holloway will receive $60 per month for a period of two and one-half years,
beginning in July, 1946. The G. I. Bill provides his tuition and $90 per month.

He will do research under the direction of Prof. T. E. Hogness, whose
investigations deal with physical-organic problems of biological -significance.
Dr. Eogness1 pre-war research involved various aspects of ensyme chemistry,
working with cytochrome.

"These fellowships are particularly generous ones," Dr. Neckers pointed out,
"and we consider Holloway' s selection for one of them a tribute to the standards
of Southern's chemistry department.

Carbondale, 111., June— Miss Madeloine Snith, assistant professor of languages
at Southern Illinois Normal University, has "been chosen as one of 100 French
teachers of the United States to make a two-months' good-will visit to France
under the auspices of the French government.

The French government through tho Cultural Counsellor of the French Embassy
in this country has offered to pay part expenses and the return passage of the
100 teachers who will make the trip individually.

The date of her trip to France has not been set, as her passport has not
yet come through. However, if her request goes through in time, she will
temporarily terminate her teaching at Southern on July 1.

This will be Miss Smith's third visit to France. In 1931 when she was
preparing to teach, she spent six weeks at the University of Paris. She returned
in 1935 to spend several weeks visiting tho country as well as other parts of

Europo .

Miss Smith first cane to Southern in 1929. From April, 1943, to Novembers
1945, whe was located in Washington, D. C, as a member of the Signal Corps of the
War Department. She returned to the Southern faculty last December.

"If only I suceed in making this trip, I shall consider it an extraordinary
privilege to be so soon among the brave and forward-looking people of France,"
Miss Smith declared. "I feel that this would be the chance of a lifetime to see
the new Franco in the making, under the auspices of the French government itself.
"I am looking forward to seeing again all the beautiful old landmarks of the
France that the world has always loved, but even more to observing the new surge
of cultural life in that country whose intellectual vigor has never flagged—
the theater, the musico.1 life, and art exhibits.

"Also I hope to have just a glimpse of the forging of the new Constitution
of the Fourth Republic ."

Release Friday p.m.

Carbondale, 111., June 7 - "It is much later in the day for the defence of
our way of life than most people realize," a Northwestern University professor
told the 188 members of the Southern Illinois Formal University graduating class

here this morning.

Dr. W. R. Spriegcl, professor of industrial management at Northwestern,
called upon the graduates to exercise "courageous, devoted, enlightened
leadership" in religion, government, education, organized labor, business,
agriculture, and social and recreational activities.

"Three years from today you should he on your way to leadership in your
nation's affairs," he declared. "Ten years hence you should occupy important
places in the life of our state; and twenty years from today you and your
contemporaries should oe counted among the active leaders of our nation."

The degree candidates were certified by University President Chester P. Lay,
and degrees were conferred by Gen. Robert W. Davis of Carbondale, member of the
State Teachers College Board.

The commencement speaker cautioned the graduates that "if we are not careful
we will only have a government of the people, for pressure, .groups, by demigogs,."

"If we do not hold fast to the baeic principles of our forefathers we will
soon have no basic principles left to which to hold," he asserted. "I shudder
when I contemplate the ideologies that are teing promulgated by many people who
are beset by a reform complex.

"Their motives may be good, but the glorification of the State at the
expense of the individual under the pretext of helping the common man can only
lead to a loss of freedom. We may get security but at the cost of state
totalitarianism."

Stressing the ever increasing need for dynamic and enlightened leadership,
Dr. Spriegcl said that "problem-solving is at least two-thirds of constructive
leadership," and that other qualities necessary for "safe leadership" — from
the standpoint of society — are balance, a high order of intelligence, character
and boundless energy.

Discussing leadership in the field of education, Dr. Spriegcl maintained

that balance is especially needed.

"It is not a question of all vocational education or the so-called

(More)

cultural education, but a balance that will provide for the cultural values and
also aid in the earning a living," he explained.

"Southern Illinois Normal University under the leadership of Dr. Lay
(President Chester F. Lay^, your Board of Trustees, and your able faculty is to
be congratulated on your courage to pioneer in a field of training leaders to
meet the challenge in agriculture, business, mechanic arts, and the professions.

"Your College of Vocations and Professions is truly a step in the right
direction. Southern Illinois needs this type of education. It should make an
outstanding contribution to the raising of the standard of living.

Of leadership in the seven broad areas he mentioned earlier, Dr. Spriegel

s aid:

Of leadership in religion — "There has never been a time when there was
greater need for the ideals and strength of our great religious. . .Democracy was
founded upon the tenets of our great religious faiths. . .Young men and women,
have the courage to stand up and be counted on the side of righteousness. Do not
become ensnared by materialistic communism."

Of leadership in government — "Your government needs your youthful
enthusiasm, high ideals, boundless energy, stability of character, and glanced
intelligence.... Let us build a better America not an imitation of a decadent
Europe.... The price of freedom is eternal vigilance, sincere devotion to the
principles of freemen, and a willingness to sacrifice personal confort and gain
to fight against the encroachment of special pressure groups."

Of leadership in education— "We are sadly in need of some high calibred
vocational counselling in all of our institutions of higher education. This is
the number one challenge to leadership in our universities and colleges. The
second challenge to leadership in colleges is for the faculties to recognize that
wo should be educating for life, which noons that we must recognize the needs of
the students and our citizenry and subordinate the vested interested in some of
our nost cherished courses."

Of leadership and organized labor — "Organized labor is no longer weak. In
fact, its strength, if not used wisely, nay threaten the stability of our
economic system. There is a great need for wise leadership in organized labor.
Labor leadership needs to consider the needs of all of the people, the consumer,
as well as the community as a whole and not merely the members of the union....
Labor leadership needs to recognize that its membership is protected by the law
in every legitimate activity hence it should not set itself above the law as has
been done in 'sit down strikes1 and violence of the picket linos.

Of leadership in business — "Business leadership needs to recognize the

(More)

' \i ,

equities of all parties to the business process, namely, the owners, the consumers;
the employees, and the community. Fortunately business ethics and business ideals
have risen during the past thirty years especially among professional business
men. This sane recognition of high ideals and practices needs to permeate our
entire business structure from the giant corporation to the local gasoline
station or garage."

Of leadership in agriculture— "Formerly our rural people were the bulwark
of democracy. They have confidence in themselves and looked with scorn upon any
attempt at regimentation. . . .Our farm people must remain free of the deadening
effect of governmental largess or bounty. . ..Our farmers nee:1, a leadership that
recognizes economic laws rather than political expediency. . .Too many of our best
farm boys go to the cities to find second rate opportunities while leaving
first rate opportunities at home on the farm."

Of leadership in social and recreational life-*-" There is great need for
a broader base in the people themselves to enrich their social activities....
Build solidly in terms of an enlightened self-interest and strive to set a
pattern for your community that will take our young people out of saloons and

other activities that inevitably lead to trouble.

Release Friday

Carbondale, 111., June 6 -Diction is the "most important tool"
that teachers take with them into the classroom, and would-be teachers
should receive, college training in "plain simple pronunciation," a
Southern Illinois public school educator told, alumni of Southern
Illinois Normal University here tonight.

Roy Vail Jorden, city superintendent of .drools at Centralia,
spoke at the annual University alumni banquet, attended by more than
230 former students and 1946 graduates.

He urged 'that every future teacher should take a course in diction

"not a course in which the young -LTLen practiced elocution, yellocutlon

and. bellocution, or the young women strode to the footlights and with
dishevelled hair and uplifted, clenched fist declaimed 'Curfew shall
not a- ring tonight!' but just a plain, common sense course in the
pronunciation of words — in simple extemporaneous oral exposition."

Fr. Jordan advocated, screening of would-be teachers, so that
"only those who survive rigid tests as to character, intelligence,
physique, adaptability, ingenuity, and other desirable characteristics
should be admitted" to teacher-training programs.

"Teachers should be more than ordinarily intelligent because
thov are to handle our nation's greatest asset--our children-- the
citizens of tomorrow," he asserted

University President Chester F, Lay end W. B. Valentine of Alto
Pass, president of the Alumni Association, welcomed the alumni, while
responses were made by representatives of the special reunion class^s--
1396, 1906, 1916, 1926, 1936, end 1946.

Calling for a "better system of education in the atomic age,"
Jordan deciered that "every public school and every publicly supported
college and university must be a citadel of democracy."

Citing that Southern Illinois Formal University has recently beer
recognized as having university rather than college status, "authorized
to grant bachelor's degrees in the Vocational Arts and the Liberal Arts
and bachelor's and master's degrees in the field of education," Fr.
Jordan urged further development of this Institution.

"We as alumni would like to be able to point to our alma mater and
cry to a prospective student, 'Fa. faculty at Southern is Second to
none; you can get as good work there as in any similar institution in

the country— barring none,'" "And I believe it is becoming more that

(more )

way at Southern from day to day."

"It is prepared to servo the million or more population of Egypt,
and it is the only recognized university in this area," he said, "It
has lately been favored by friendly legislation. Wo have a chance to
expand it into the greatest state supported teacher training
institution in the country, he had the University of Illinois here
once--and let it slip through our fingers. Let's don't muff the ball
again 1 "

Fr. Jorchan cave parallel examples of (a) what the alumnus can do
for his ala.a mater, and (b) what the university can do for the alumni.

"First and foremost, the university noedc his good will," he
asserted. "Second, the alumni may become scouts for recruiting students,
especially exceptional students. Third, for a state supported school,
such as ours is, the alumni can be of great assistance in securing
needed appropriations from the legislature for the support and
enlargement of the university and its curricula."

The service the University should render to its alumni and patrons
should be a "double-barreled service," he pointed out. It should train
students and It should contribute to the general good of the area which

it serves.

"The University should have available to even the humblest citizen
services that make life more enjoyable and the income of the region
greater," he explained.

"For instance, people need advice on soils, ci ops, mineral deposits,
Industries, animal husbandry, soil conservation. These things are on

th e ma t e r i a 1 side.

"But aeople need advice and direction, also, on libraries, scenery,
tours, club work, symphony orchestras, choruses. That is on the

spiritual side."

"One thing that some of us alumni are coming to expect of our Alma
later is that it become a sort of clearing house or service station
where we can go to get help In working out plans or ideas that we bave,'

he said.

"Personally, I have had a very happy experience of this kind.
I wrote to President (Chester F.) Lay that we should like to have the
services of a consultant in planning a new building, he referred the
request to Dean Fair (Dr. E. F. Fair, dean of the College of Education)

who assigned Dr. Bosley (Dr. Howard F. Bosley, associate professor of
education) to our problem and he made an exceptionally good survey and
wrote a brilliant report which is proving of great value in our curorts
to construct new building facilities for our system.

"This is as It should be. Southern can be and is a very helpful
service station in furnishing educational consultants for the various
school districts in the area."
