Carbondale, 111,, Jan. - Fond dreams of an undefeated season
for the Southern Illinois University Maroons wore shattered when the
Maroons lost their first t:-ame in nine starts to the Evansville College
Purple Aces in the final game of the Vincennes Holiday Tournament
New Year's day, 62 to 60.
The Maroons of Coach Lynn Holder had previously earned the right
to play in the finals by over-powering Cape Girardeau 65 to 43.
Southern's first loss was to a team which had previously suffered
defeat at the Maroons' hands 43 to 37 in a game played at Evansville.
The absence of guard Jack Eadie of West Frankfort, who chose
New Year's Day for his marriage, probably is partly responsible for
Southern's defeat. Eadie, who is one »f the team's leading scorers,
will return to the line-up after the conclusion of his honeymoon.
Two Maroons earned a position on the tournament Ail-Star first
team, and two more were placed on the second team. Center (^uentin
Stinson of Eldorado and forward Joe Hughes of West Frankfort earned
the first team mention, while forward Bob Colborn of Flora and guard
Johnny Goss of Marion were placed on the second team.

accept a position as principal of the Punahou School in Honolulu, T.H.,
said to be the largest private elementary school in the world.
He will assume his deanship duties here at the beginning of the
194$ summer session or as soon thereafter as he can obtain release
from the Honolulu school.

For release Friday p. m. 1-7-4$
Carbondale, 111., Jan. -A new program of research was opened
at Southern Illinois University January 1 when Dr. Carl C, Lindegren,
internationally known authority, assumes his duties her«e as research
a
professor in jbfosx biological sciences and chairman of/^bbec new department
of biological science and research, University President Chester F. Lay
has announced.
This will be Southern's first major venture into the field of
research, and is expected to be the forerunner of a wide program of
original investigations.
Formerly exclusively a teachers training institution, Southern has
been authorized to move into the university field in recent years, the
latest step being a change of name which became effective last July 1.
"As we develop into a university, we shall have to give increasing
emphasis to research, which is one of the activities by which the status
of a true university is measured," President Lay pointed out.
A research laboratory is being set up for the use of Dr. Lindegren
and his staff, which for the present will include Mrs. Lindegren, also
widely known among biological scientists, and three assistants. The
laboratory is located on the second floor of the Old Science Building.
Dr. Lindegren has been associated with Washington University in
St. Louis for a numb'er of years, and is carrying on a number of research
projects in the field of health and nutrition under grants from societies
and industry, which will be transferred here.
Covering his work at Southern this year, grants have been made of
15,000 from the American Cancer Society and another ^5,000 from the U.S.
Public Health Service, both for research on cancer, and a $15,000 grant
from the Anheuser-Busch Company for investigations on yeast in search foi
cheaper vitamins and proteins.
In addition to the grant, the Anheuser-Busch Company has by
contract supplied approximately $30,000 of laboratory equipment to carry
on part of the work, and this equipment is being loaned to Southern for
the duration of the grant, subject to recall or sale to Southern at the
-2-
K
conclusion of Dr. Lindegren' s project.
"Use of this equipment will enable Dr. Lindegren and his staff to
start work immediately, and will give us time to accumulate necessary-
laboratory equipment," President Lay pointed out.
Dr. Lindegren will spend most of his time in research, but will alsc
instruct 3&&88£S&@€b€ students in the life sciences, and especially in
research techniques.
Such useful discoveries as he may mrke on the yeast project will be
available to the Anheuser-Busch Company for use, but the grantor places
no other restrictions on his work or findings.
Dr. Lindegren will assist the University to take out patents on all
discoveries his laboratory may make in all cases not specifically
excepted by agreements with grantors.
Under the arrangements worked out for Dr. Lindegren' s service here,
he will be authorized to spend part of his time in travel to scientific
meetings and international scientific congresses.
Dr. Lindegren is internationally known as a. geneticist, and has
published approximately 100 articles in scientific journals of this and
a half dozen other countries.
In the past he has done research work for Swift &, Compan3>-, Benedict'
Laboratory, the Chicago Health Department, the New York Botanical
Gardens, Western Pennsylvania Hospital, the Mayo Clinic, Washington
University, and the University of Washington,
For five years he was head of the department of bacteriology at
the University of Southern California.
"Dr. Lindegren' s presence on our campus should prove a vast
stimulation to our program of research and training of research
technicians, which every true university undertakes to do," President
Lay said. And where could we make as useful a start as in this field
that provides increased knowledge of vitamins, nutrition, and of
modern man's mysterious enemy, cancer?

Carbbndalej Illv, Jan. -Southern Illinois University's powerful
Maroon basketball team, owners of an eight-win and one-loss record,
returns to the court wars this weekend with games against Millikin at
Decatur Friday and Northern at DeKalb Saturday*
The Northern game will open the Maroons' Illinois Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference title defense. In nine non-conference games this
season, the Maroons of Coach Lynn Holder have lost only once, 62 to 60
against Evansville, a team Southern had previously defeated *
Millikin fell to the Maroons 71 to 50 in December on the Southern
floor, but the combination of steady improvement playing on their home
floor will probably enable the Millikin team to provide more opposition
for Southern.
The Huskies of Northern are rated as one of the strongest teams in
the I.I.A*C. and the result of this game will have an important bearing
on the conference title race.
The Maroons go into the title race with a well balanced team, since
the scoring of the individual team members is fairly even.
Bob Colborn of Flora is leading the scoring with 116 points, and

Carbondale, 111., Jan. -Star center Quentin Stinson of Eldorado
has been elected captain of the Southern Illinois University Maroons
and will lead the Maroons in their defense of the Illinois Intereollegiat
Athletic Conference title defense which starts Saturday when the Maroons
visit Northern at DeKalb.
Stinson has been a consistent star during his entire three years
on the Maroon team. The six-feet-four-incher is a great rebounder, and
his greatest value has been under the basket where his power hes
regularly proved to be a deciding factor in many Southern victories.
In the scoring column, Stinson has been dependable generally
ranking near the top for the Southern team.

Carbondale, 111*;, Jan* ^Thirty drawings in ink and pencil by
George Morrison of Mew York City will be on exhibition at the Little
Gallery at Southern Illinois University during the month of January*
according to Kenneth Ervin* instructor in the University art department*
Mr; Morrison, an American Indian artist of renown, holds several
scholarships, including the Women* s Club Scholarship and Vanderlip
Traveling Scholarship from Minneapolis i Minnesota, and the Bernays
Scholarship from the Art Students League in New York,
His works have been featured in group shows in Minneapolis, St.
Paul, and Duluth, Minnesota* In 1946 he gave an individual showing at
the Ashby Gallery in New York City« The same year his paintings were
included in the Pepsin-Cola Paintings of the Year, and he was awarded
first prize in the New York Critics1 Show*
In 1.947 his paintings were exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy
Annuals,* Corcoran Art Gallery Biennial at Washington* D*C»* Whitney
Museum Annual in New York City, and the Rcckport Art Association in
Rockportj Massachusetts.
Mr, Morrison was born in Grand Maraisy Minnesota; He studies at
the Minneapolis Art Institute and the Art Students League in New York
City* At the present time he is an instructor at Cape Ann Art School
at Rockport, Massachusetts*
Mr* Morrison is a member of the Ojibwa tribe of American Indians
of Northern Minnesota. His drawings show surprisingly little influence
of his early environment, Ervin pointed out* Morrison's work is
essentially mystic in approach* being concerned largely with the
transmission of emotion through delicate tonal nuances. His figure
drawings are notable for their unusual strength and savagery of
conception, combined with a sureness of control of the graphic medium*
One of Mr, Morrison* s paintings is included in the current annual
exhibition of the Whitney Museum of New York City* a^ Comprehensive
showing of contemporary American art trends* The painting, ( entitled
"Subjugation," is reproduced in a recent issue of the P£t Digest*

Carbondale, 111,, Jan. - Modern education increasingly seeks to
dramatize study for the school boy or girl, and Southern Illinois
University is getting ready to lend a helping hand to the Southern
Illinois schools that v/ant to bring the senses of vision, touch and
motion into the classroom.
The Extension Service and the University Museum is starting a
brand new service for thiff- area by taking exhibits of museum materials
to the schools*
An average of a hundred school children e.xh month visit the
Southern Museum and find an eye-opening thrill in seeing the collections
of pioneer Southern Illinois household equipment, farm tools, profession-:
and trade equipment,, .transportation facilities, birds, reptiles and
other wild life.
This new service, .according to Raymond H.Dey, director of the
Extension Service,. aui John Allen, history curator of the Museum, will
take the exhibits straight into the classroom, so they can serve as
object lessons directly linked with classwork. .
In many cases £ the traveling exhibits will be made up of models, .
sometimes smaller than life , sometimes larger than life, .For example, .
in the exhibit or* weaving, one real spinning wheel, .generations old, ,
will be included, but two tiny models—both of which will really spin —
and a model loom that will actually weave will also be shown. On the
other hand, in the exhibit on sea life, a 15-inch model of a paramecium —
the microscopic single-cell organism, too tiny to be seen with the
naked eye — will illustrate the internall mechanism of the one cell, -
At firaa,. the University will send out only about a dozen exhibits,,
each centralized around one activity, such as weaving, soapmaking,
shoemaking, or candle dipping, .around the story of one industry, such
as transportation facilities or household lighting; or around one variety
of animal life,, such as birds, or mammals or sea life*
If these provs successful, .other exhibits will be prepared, and

Carbondale, Ill0 , Jan. - Competitive intercollegiate athletics
captures almost all the newsprint and interest of the sports fans in
Southern Illinois University a thle tic endeavors, but the little-
heralded, little-known intramural and recreational athletics provide
direct benefits to vastly more students a
More than five hundred college men participate in intramural
basket ball each week in rival leagues and on high spirited teams.
Highly coveted is the intramural basketball championship, for which
fraternities, independent men's houses, and other teams battle each
year.
Several intramural games are held each night of the week when no
varsity contest is scheduled. Groups of small but highly vocal
partizans lend color and interest to the contests. •**
With the end of the winter term will come the annual intramural
play-offs leading to the championship. In the past thes^ intramural
championships have drawn large crowds.
But organized basket ball is not the only winter-time recreational
activity provided by the Southern athletic department. Activities
are available for everyone who has the desire to participate. At all
hours of the da;; the men's dressing rooms are crowded with men playing
ping-pong(a streni:us game if well played), throwing ringers, rolling
softballs at duck pins in an improvised bowling alley, and many other
impromptu activities.
These activities provide a type of recreation which may^be carried
on eftcr school years, and can be used as a basis for a life-long
program of sane, healthful recreation, according to Athletic Director
blenn "Abe" Martin and his staff.
In &n effort to provide bettor recreational facilities, the
gymnasium has been made available each Saturday and Sunday afternoon
from two to five o* clock.

Carbondale, 111., Jan. - As part of a statewide movement to
inform public school teachers about conservation of soil, forests and
water supply, Southern Illinois University will hold a series of 11
one-week workshops in this area next August, Raymond H. Dey, director
of the Extension Service, has announced*
This statewide plan was evolved in 1946, but Southern was the
first college or university to offer work of this type, Dey said. In
the summer of 1936, Southern held three conservation workshops, one at
Vienna, one at Belleville and the third at Chester.
Last summer, 13 such courses were held by other institutions ,. but
Southern did not participate because of lack of staff, Dey explained..
During the summer of 194$, however, staff members from the
Southern geography and agriculture departments jointly will conduct
eleven workshops in the following areas of Southern Illinois: Aug..
9-13, Hamilton, Marion, White and Jackson counties; Aug. 16-20, Union,
Massac, Jefferson and Hardin counties; Aug. 2 3-27, Perry, Washington
and Monroe counties,

Carbondale, 111., Jan. 29 - The "new civilization" is going to
sweep before it many of the traditions of the past, unless a conscious
effort is made to preserve the folk songs, music and dances of the past,
Miss Sarah Gertrude Knott, founder and director of the National Folk
Festival, told a group of Southern Illinois University f acuity here
today.
Miss Knott, en route to Paducah, Ky . , for a joint meeting Friday
of music and other clubs to discuss regional folklore, stODped here to
have a lundheon conference with officers of the new Illinois Folklore
Society, which has its headquarters here at the University, and others
interested in the folklore movement.
She described the founding of the National Folk Festival 14 years
ago, and said that groups from some 25 states would present folk songs,
music and dancing at the national festival this year, to be held in
St. Louis April 7-10.
She stressed the democratic nature of the American folk festival
movement, which depends entirely on voluntary participation, in contrast
to the movements in many European countries, which have been highly
nationalistic in nature and often have been at least partly government-
subsidized.
"Of course the real be sis for the movement is the fun which the
participants get out of singing and dancing and playing music," she
declared.
"But folk festivals bring together people re-enacting the folkways
and folksongs of the varied nationalities which go to make up our
American people — Indian, Spanish-American, English, German, French,
Czechoslovakian and othera--and such regional g roups as cowbeys , miners,
lumberjacks, cotton pickers, levee workers.
"In this way we help to bring about an appreciation for the many
facets of our American culture, and a better understanding of the culture
of other countries."
She urged the development of Southern Illinois folk festivals, as
a means of preserving the wide range of t raditions represented by the
people of this area. §f#

Carbondale, 111., Jan. - Seventy-one new films ranging from
an animated cartoon explanation of atomic energy to a movie of kittens
at play have been added to the film library of Southern Illinois
University's Audio-Visual Education Service, Donald A. Ingli, director,
has announced.
Many of the new films depend on animated drawings to reduce
complicated ideas to a visual pattern that is easily grasred. Such
subjects as colloids-particles in matter which cause it to jell, as in
gelatin, starches, albumin, etc. --are clarified by "moving" pen and
ink sketches,
Ground water, soil resources, property taxation, the teeth, chemicsl
reactions are all demonstrated at least partially by animated drawings.
Films to dramatize certain skills, vocations and professions are
numerous among the University's new offerings. These include movies of
the cattleman, showing the ranch family and the hired hands at mealtime,
repairing fences, herding cattle, marketing, breaking horses, round-up,
and shipping; the corn farmer; the mailman; the doctor; the secretary;
the mural painter; the orange grower; the policeman; the fi^esRStt: t]$e
puppeteer; and the tugboat crew.
Other films follow a mother and d aught er on an airplane trip; tell
children how to take care of pets*, accompany three farm youngsters on a
jaunt to the fair; tell the story of two city children who spend the
summer on the farm; show how to use a bank; describe how to avoid a
cold; demonstrate bow to use a dictionary and how to use a library,
A series of films about children of various countries has been
secured, including children of China, Holland, Japan, Switzerland,
Mexico, Hawaii, Eskimo children, and French-Canadian children.
One film by animated drawings and photograrhy presents the nature
and meaning of democracy, while another defines and illustrates
despotism, presenting the thesis that all coummunities c an be ranged en
a scale running from democracy to despotism, and showing the conditions
that give rise to despotism.

Carbondale, 111., Jan- 31, The Southern Illinois University Maroons
continue their campaign for their third straight Illinois Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference championship Saturday night when they play host to
Illinois State Normal University at $:15 in the Southern gymnasium.
Thursday night Southern had its hardest home game of the season as
Indiana Central battled the Maroons right down to the final gun before
submitting 76 to 69. This win was the sixth straight in Southern's
current winning streak, and brought the season's record to 14 wins
against t wo losses.
Brilliant Bob Gslborn of Flora continuedhis high scoring for
Southern by counting 21 points on nine field goals and three free
throws, brings his season's total to 210 points, an average of over 13
points per ^ame .
Joe Hughes, Colborn's running mate at forward, turned in one of his
best scoring performances of the season with 16 points, eight of them
coming on free throws. He missed only one free toss.
The Indiana Central team gave Southern a height advantage, but
played great, colorful basketball. Scrapping all the way, never giving
up, the courageous little team fought on even terms with Southern all
the way except for four- minutes at the beginning of the second half,
when the Maroons scored 10 quick points to take a lead they never
relinquished.
The Indiana team's classy guard, McBride, provided many thrills on
his accurate, high-arched, one-handers from near the middle of the
court. Another Indiana standout was Swailes, six feet three inch center
who rebounded effectively and scored 15 points.
Southern Coach Lynn Holder has indicated he will continue with his
regular starting lineup against Normal which includes Jack Eadie and
Joe Hughes of West Frankfort, Cuentin Stinson of Eldorado, Ollie Shoaff
of Mt. Carmel, and Bob Colborn, the Flora flash.

Carbondale , 111., Jan. 30- Agreeing that some form of world
government is both desirable and necessary, Ely Culbertson and Mark
Van Doren disagreed on the form of federation that is feasible in a
debate on "Federal World Government" here last night at Southern
Illinois University.
Van Doren, Columbia University professor and noted poet and critic,
advocated a world federation modeled s omewhat on the United States
system, with world citizenship as well as national citizenship, and
with federal powers to control aggression.
Culbertson, world-famous bridge expert and widely-known "social
engineer," as he termed himself, declared Van Doren' s concept--"like
that of most f ederalists--is based on "noble generalities," and
unattainable for at least 150 years.
His own plan, backed by such divergent individuals and groups as
Norman Thomas, perennial Socialist presidential candidate, and the
American Legion, would leave the individual countries autonomous
except in the control of aggression.
This "quota force" plan would revamp the United Nations to
strengthen its police powers so that it could proceed against
individual citizens fomenting war as well as against aggressor nations.
It would set up a federal army, composed of t roops recruited from the
smaller nations, but would leave the larger nations to continue to
maintain their own armies, though on vastly reduced quotas. It would
provide international control of atomic power,
Culbertson said his plan could be put into effect immediately, "if
possible with Russian, if not then without Russia."
He said Russia could exercise the veto ^ower if the '-Ian were
brought up in the United Nations, but that the other nations could
then set up a new organization similar to the United Nations but
embracing necessary reforms.
"Russia would then be all dressed up and nowhere to go," he said.

-2-
"If she chose to fight, the new world federation with its federal
army and the individual nations' armies would be ready to nut down
the aggression, I think she would join, sooner or later,"
he
He said/ received a telegram yesterday from "one of the two leading
contenders for the presidency of the United States," expressing
approval of his plan.
He himself will appear before the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee in Washington Monday to express his views on foreign affairs
and wo r 1 d peace.
Van Doren declared he did not see how any system) of world
government could function without Russia, "for we should then have two
worlds . "
He said that Culbertson's system assumes that the different nations
and their statesmen would be fair, that actually it would work only so
long as the individual nations' self-interests were not touched,
"It would just be a temporary truce," he said.
"I want a world government under which we can live together with
other nations, even though we may not like their peoples or their
governments," he declared. "I may not like my neighbor or the people
in an adjoining section of the country, but because of our lews and
our police force, I can get along with them without fighting,
"There are differences between individuals and differences between
peoples which can never be resolved, but our job is to develop some
kind of world which can contain people who disagree. It's our 'job
to find a world that can contain both Russia and the United States,"
Some 200 college speech students, here for the second annual Egynt
Speech Festival, were in the audience, which also included delegations
from many Southern Illinois towns.

Carbondale, 111*, Feb. -Troubled with roaches?
Then here's advice from the State health department, as expounded
in a red.nt lecture-demonstration at Southern Illinois University here,
James D. Williams and E. L. Wittenborn from the Division of
Sanitation, State Department of Public Health, were guest instructors
and demonstrators at a short course held by the University Health
Service and Department of Physiology and Health Education, for the
benefit of campus employees who wage constant warfare on roaches, insect;
and other pests which plague areas where food is handled or stored,
Three types of roaches are most prevalent in Illinois, according
to Mr. Williams, one of the State department speakers. They are the
German roach, a small, brown, dingy color, which rarely travels more
than six feet from its habitat; the American roach, long, reddish
brown, an extensive traveler; and the Oriental roach, a black roach,
found chiefly in basements, usually jailed the "water bug."
Mr. Williams explained that DDT is very effective again-*- these
roaches if it is applied correctly. The habits of these insects must be
known if one is to wage a successful war against them, A 2% solution of
DDT to be effective does not need to be applied directly on the insects,
but should be applied in areas where the roach is likely to walk and
could come in contact with the DDT crystals which crystallize out on
the surface after application.
For small eracks between baseboards and walls, Mr. Williams
pointed out that a new chemical known as "cholcrdan' " could be applied
successfully with an oil can. This chemical reacts as a fumigant and
is fatal to any insects which might live behind the baseboard.
The demonstrations included methods for mixing the DDT, type of
equipment to be used, and an actual demonstration of the application of
DDT and "Chlordane" in the Cafeteria.
Future demonstrations on insect and rodent control will be

Carbondale, 111., Feb. -With their first round-robin of
conference games completed without a defeat, the Southern Illinois
University Maroons are looking forward to their February schedule with
hopes high for an undefeated record In the Illinois Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference, which they have won the last two years.
The Maroons hold a full two-game lead over second-place Eastern.
Also, the Maroons have the advantage of having their remaining game
against the Panthers scheduled for the Southern floor , Previously
Southern defeated Eastern at Charleston 5$ to 54.
The Maroons, who have remaining road games against Western and
Normal, can afford to lose those games and still tie with Eastern for
the championship provided Eastern receives no further defeats t and
Southern is not defeated on the home court. Southern has been defeated
on the S»I.U, court only once by a college team in three seasons.
Normal and Western both provided worthy opposition before going
down to Southern in Carbondale, and may do even better among the
familiar surroundings of their home courts.
Two vital conference games remain f$r the Southern gymnasium,
Eastern and Northern, the second and third place teams in the conference
race. Southern defeated Northern at DeKalb by only one point, 52 to 51*
Northern's dangerous team will visit Southern Saturday night, in
a game which will find the Maroons striving for a second win over the
sky-scraping Huskies,,

Carbondale , 111., Feb. - A former Southern Illinois University-
professor, now at Michigan State College, has developed a revolutionary
new approach to prepare his students for their job as future teachers.
Dr. Troy L» Stearns, who taught here at Southern from 1929 to
1940, as director of rural education, believes student-teachers need
to know something about the communities in which their future pupils
«
live .
So he has developed a so-called "Marshall Plan," whereby his
students leave the cam. us for 12-week expeditions into the 6,000
population town of Marshall, Mich,, located $0 miles from the East
Lansing campus.
The story of this plan is told in an illustrated article, "Education
Conducts Its Own Marshall Plan," in the Feb. 1 magazine section of the
Chicago Sunday Sun and Times.
Groups of 20 co-eds each term go to Marshall, "live in Marshall
homes, eat at Marshall family dinner tables, imbibe Marshall
neighborhood gsssip, study Marshall institutions, investigate Marshall
living conditions, customs and social problems," the article, written
by Ernest LaFrance, points out.
They wait tables to gain experience as working girls, inspect
print shops, learn how to run lathes, visit dairy farms, and some even
spend some time in jail to help them understand delinquents. They attenc
Rotary Club luncheons, visit rural schools, hold discussions with labor
groups, help with PTA activities, and teach classes in the elementary
schools*
The "Marshall Flan" is underwritten by the Kellogg Foundation of
Battle Creek, Mich., by means of scholarships which are available to
the co-eds taking the course.

Carbondale, 111., Feb. - The first complete collection of plants
and trees of So*»J"hf*ro Illinois--in the botanical "cross-roads" of the
North American continent--is being gathered at Southern Illinois
University,,.
A regional herbarium, first ever developed for this unique area,
is being built up by Dr. W. hlK Bailey, professor emeritus, who retired
to part-time service in 1946 after 32 years T teaching in the Southern
botany d epartment , during which time he spent nearly a quarter of a
century as department chairman. He is being assisted by Julius Swayne
of DuQuoin, a graduate student.
This area marks the southernmost protrusion of the glaciers, which
swept all vegetation before them, Dr. Bailey explained. The Southernmost
trace of the glaciers in this region is found around Cobden, a few
miles south of Carbondale. One glacial moraine forms a ridge just
south of the University "s.mpus ,
This narrow belt, running across the southern part of Illinois
and perhaps extending into adjoining Missouri and Indiana, is almost
unique in its great variety of vegetation," Dr. Bailey explains. It
marks the greatest change in flora that is found between Chicago and
New Orleans . .
"Here the north and. the south, the east and the west, meet. Here
we find the southernmost migration of northern plants and trees, the
northernmost specimens of southern plants and trees. T-r
In the Southern Illinois area are found some species of vegetation
which are apparently unique in the United States, . Dr. .Bailey believes.
He has found a minute variety of buttercup which is n.t listed
in Illinois; an infinitesmal brownish orchid never before reported
in Illinois; a cleft phlox, seen in German herbaria with the notation
that it is found at Fountain Bluff, 111., and in Jackson County; the

harebell--otherwise seen around Lake Michigan — which is thought to be a
sub-arctic plant, a relic of the glacial period; and a sub-arctic "club
moss."
Many plants and trees considered definitely Southern grow in this
region, including a species of azalia (which Dr. Bailey says is really
a rhododendron), the cucumber magnolia, the "tulip tree," water tupelo,
water, elm,, water privet, willow oak, water locust, and the shortleaf
yellow pine which bulks so large in the South' s lumber industry.
Among the Northern species which grow in Southern Illinois are the
black maple, prevalent in the Great Lakes region; the red oak; and the
black willow; the sub-arctic harebell and the sub-arctic "club moss"
mentioned above.
Dr. Bailey and Swayne started their systematic collection in May
of last year, and have already added many specimens to the embryo
herbarium.
All through the more than three decades he taught here, Dr. Bailey
has taken his students on field trips throughout the area, and he s
identified many species of trees, shrubs, flowers and grasses, but his
collections have been - confined to specimens for use in botany laboratory
Southern, however, already possesses a number of valuable botanical
collections, including many specimens collected by Prof. G.H. French ,
second chairman of the Southern botany department, who was recognized
as one of the best taxonomists of his day.
Another fine collection, consisting of mosses of this region, was
made by Miss Elizabeth Wells, 1931 graduate of Southern, now a teacher
at Rock Island, This cdllection was left by Miss Wells with the botany
department here .
Another exceptionally valuable collection — ferns of Illinois--was
gathered by the late Dr. Mary Steagall, formerly on the University
faculty, who wrote her doctoral thesis on this subject* She also
gathered a substantial collection of lichens which she gave to the
University.
Unfortunately, the French collection has suffered from inadequate
care since he left the University about 1915, and one of the major
tasks of Dr. Bailey and Swayne has been to salvage these specimens,

remount many of them, and provide proper storage for them. This
undertaking is being carried on concurrently with their own collection.
Development of such a regional herbarium for Southern Illinois will i,|i i
provide a much more complete collection of specimens of this unusual **!
area than is afforded in state and national herbaria, and will establish
a center for botanical research that should draw both graduate students
and botanical scholars to Southern.
This school, which only recently has become a university, is
developing research programs on several fronts, one of the most
significant of which is Dr. Bailey* s work in the collection of an
herbarium.
Dr. Bailey estimates it will require some four or five years t
complete his collections. He and Swayne are attempting to gather
some half dozen specimens of each species — two for the herbarium's
permanent files, two for the laboratory study by students in the
botany department, and the others for exchange with other herbaria.

Carbondale, 111., Feb, -Reduction of the number of school
districts in 26 Southern Illinois counties from 2,552 to 240 is
suggested in the recommendations of school survey committees in these
southernmost counties, according to Dr. Howard E. Bosley, chairmen of
the Southern Illinois University committee of consultants on school
reorganization .
Dr. Bosley based his computation on the recent progress report
of the State Advisory Committee on School Reorganization in Illinois,
covering a summary of the 91 counties in the sta*e which have submitted
tentative reports on reorganization.
Under the r ^commendations prepared by "tehe county survey committees
of the 26 counties tabulated by Dr. Bosley, a total of 2,312 school
districts would be eliminated, reducing the average number per county
from 93 to 9.
"Members of these survey committees art required by law to be lay
people rather than teachers or school administrators," Dr. Bosley
pointed out.
"It is therefore evident that these recommendations for larger
districts result from the hope of Mr. John Q. Citizen that we may
develop better schools for Southern Illinois children*"
Ten of the 19 county, committees recommending establishment of
single county units for their respective counties are in Southern Illinc
Bosley reported. These were Pulaski, Edwards, Hardin, Randolph, Union,
Gallatin, Massac, Franklin, Saline and Lawrence.
Final reports have been submitted by five Southern Illinois county
committees—Wayne, Edwards, Macoupin, Richland, and Wabash.
A list of the 26 Southern Illinois counties included in the
progress report, together with the number of districts operating in each
during 1945-46 and the number of districts recommended, follows:

Carbondale, 111., Feb0 -Southern Illinois University's red-hot
crew of Maroons swing into the stretch of their drive for their third
consecutive Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title Saturday
night when they play host to the big, powerful Huskies of Northern I 11 in
State Teachers College at &;lf> p.m. in the Southern gym.
In the previous meeting of the two teams at DeKalb esrly in January
the Maroons of Coach Lynn Holder eked out a narrow 52 to 51 win , This
time, the Huskies will be playing the Maroons after having tackled the
very tough Eastern Panthers at Charleston on Friday night.
Northern is a very tall team, probably the tallest in the conference
Seagrist at six feet seven, and Reisser at six feet five will give
Northern a commanding height advantage, and will force Southern Captain
Quentin Stinson of Eldorado, six feet four, to play a great game fight in.f
for the rebounds.
Hot-shot for the Huskie crew is its snappy, flashy forward Klein,
who specializes with an over-the-head, two hand push shot.
In the game the Maroons will be chasing their 16th victory of the
season and eighth in a row. Victory over Northern will also mean the
fifth win in I.I.A.C. play this season, and will give Southern a
commanding position for the race to the wire.
Coach Holder has indicated that he will stick to his regular startir
lineup which includes Stinson, Bob Colborn of Flora, Ollie Shoaff of
Mt. Carmel, and Jack Eadie and Joe Hughes of West Frankfort.
'There will be a preliminary game beginning at 6:^° p.m.

Carb#ndale, 111*, Feb» -Southern Illinois University* s defending
Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference champions, who are
currently leading the conference race with five wins and no defeats, hav
one ©f their hardest tasks of the season facing them Friday night when
they visit the Leathernecks of Western Illinois State College at Macomb f
The Leathernecks are n#w one of the hottest teams in the conference
and it will take even more Maroon finesse to top them than it did to
defeat the Huskies of Northern Illinois State Teachers College last
Saturday night in Carbondale, 51-39*
After a poor early season, the Western Illinois Leathernecks have
suddenly revived into a highly potent outfit, handing Northern,
Eastern j and Normal defeats in succession* In the meantime, the
charges of Coach Lynn Holder at Southern have stacked up their second
winning streak of eight straight games, bringing their seasonfs record
to 16 wins against only two defeats*
Bob Colborn, the Flora flash, was all-important in the Southern
victory over the Huskies* Playing almost the entire game in his
clever, inconspicious manner, Calborn's value to the team was vastly
mo-re than the 18 points he scored w*uld indicate.
Jack L»ng, promising young center, alsn of Flora, gave the most
significant performance of his career thus far substituting for Capt«
Quentin Stinson of Eldorado, who was in danger of fouling out, the agile,
six-feet-three-inch Long gave a very gaod account of himself under the
basket, rebounding and passing well, and contributing three baskets to
the Southern victory.
During much of the game Holder experimented with a new combination
which found Colborn and Jack Eadie of West Frankfort, regular starters,
working with Long and the Goss brothers, John and Charles r of Marion,

Carbondale, 111., Feb. -One of the principal projects of
Southern Illinois University's new biological research laboratory is a
study of a "fading" yeast that may indicate genes — hitherto suprosedly
stable particles transmitting hereditary factors — may be damaged and
repaired.
Because this may offer a clue to the mystery of cancer, this work
is supported by the American Cancer Society and the U.S. Fublic Health
Service, according to Dr. Carl C, Lindegren, director of the laboratory
He explained that this new point of view concerning the gene
"suggests that cancer may result from the damage of genes, and, on the
other hand, that if conditions in the bod}'' are maintained so that
damage is minimized, the frequency of cancer may be reduced,"
He cautioned that, at present, this view is "pure hypothesis,"
and said that he is carrying out an extensive investigation to test it.
Dr. Lindegren' s research is carried on entirely with yeasts, and
is directed toward obtaining a better understanding of the basic
mechanism of the cell, which functions substantially the same in all
living matter.
Hence, Dr. Lindegren, like other scientists who are studying cells .
is really searching for the mystery of life. Whatever can be learned
about the structure, functions, multiplication, and life history, of
the normal cell, throws added light on the cancer cell, which is
regarded as a normal cell which has "gone haywire" and started growing
in an abnormal manner.
The yeasts which Dr. Lindegren studies are grown in cultures risrht
in his lcboratory, and consequently can be grown under controlled
conditions .
By treatment with ultra violet light and musterd gas, he can
strengthen or deplete certain characteristics, These yeasts can then

be mated to each other much as the agriculturist breeds a new strain
of hybrid corn.
One of the "new strains" he has produced is a vrriety which is
red in color.
Normally, such a yeast would remain red as lone; as its cells were
"living," and normally this color would be transmitted to succeeding
generations .
His new discovery, however, is that one group of these red yeasts
loses its ability to produce pigment, and "fades", indicating that the
pigment-transmitting gene had somehow become damaged and did not
function properly.
This in itself was surprising enough, since individual genes have
been thought to be constant and to retain their power throughout the life
of the organism--person or plant .
But a second surprise followed the first. Dr. Lindegren found
that mating the "fading" yeast with another normal yeast restored the
pigment to the offspring.
As scientists are always on the alert to notice any deviation from
the expected, and to speculate as to the reason for the aberration,
Dr. Lindegren has the suspicion that this "fading" and "restoration"
may indicate the possibility that genes may be damaged ?nd renaired .
The new biological research laboratory was set up at Southern
Illinois University Jan. 1, when Dr. Lindegren came here from Washington
University, bringing with him an advance guard staff of Mrs. Lindegren,
also a widely recognized scientist, and Bessie Kawachi, a laboratory
technician. Mrs. Joseph Rafalko, wife of a University zoologist, has
been appointed as a laboratory assistant, and ultimately a staff of
about a half dozen will be built up.
Dr. Lindegren has received a renewal of a $15,000 fund from
Anheuser-Busch, Inc., since he came to Southern. He was also permitted
to bring here some ^30,000 worth of equipment furnished by Anheuser-
Busch to be used in his investigations. His work here is also supported
by a 15000 grant from the American Cancer Society and a $5000 grant
from the U.S. Public Health Service.

Carbondale,. Ill,, Feb. -The Southern Illinois University Maroons
are looking for a victory over Western Illinois State College Friday
at Macomb in order to ascure a tie for the championship of the Illinois
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference*
Undefeated in conference play with five wins,- and boasting a
season1* s record of 16 wins against only two losses $ the Maroons of
Coach Lynn Holder tackle the hottest team in the state when they
tangle with Western ** In the January meeting of the two teams In
Carbondale, Southern emerged a 73 to 5$ victor.-
But since that previous meeting, Western has run up a consecutive
streak of six wins'^ including among their victims all the other teams
of the I*-Ii'A*C« Meanwhile Southern has extended its current streak to
eight straight wins,-
Western boasts one of the hottest players in the conference in
Red McCiure* and probably the tallest man performing on I„I.A.-C- courts
in lanky Al Miksis. The task of smothering Miksis will go to Captain
Quentin Stinson of Eldorado,, who performed admirably in the earlier
meeting by holding the long one to only six points*
Stinson' s understudy at center, Jack Long of Flora, is still
hobbled by the strained ankle he received last Saturday against Northern
Since Long will probably be unable to play for' about two weeks,', Coach
Holder had indicated that in the event of Stinson needing relief, he
will use either high-scoring Bob Colborn of Flora,, a regular forward,-
or Charles Goss of Marion, the man with the springs in his legs,-
Both of these men played the pivot position in high school and
should be able to operate effectively if needed.-

Illinois University declined from $556.42 per student in 1945-46 to
^390.76 per student in the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1947,
according to the annual report of Edward V. Miles, Jr., business manager
This per capita cost approaches almost exactly the figure for
1943, though it exceeds substantially the pre-war figures, which
ranged from |136.16 in 1933 to $251,03 in 1937.
While University income for 1946-47 was at an all-time high,
totaling vl,329,766.66, enrollment was likewise at an all-time peak.
For purposes of estimating the per capit; cost, enrollment of
resident students for the fall, winter, spring and summer terms and of
students in extension classes is converted to the equivalent of full-
time students in residence for a long session, or 36 weeks.
By this method of computation, the total enrollment for the entire
year 1946-47 is figured at slightly more then 2,923 full-time students,
compared to 1,3$7 students in 1945-46 and to the previous high of
2,557 full-time students in 1941.
MilesT report shows that the University7 s expenditures for the
fiscal year 1946-47 totaled ftl, 419, 137.33 an excess of |'39 ,370.72
over current income for, that period.
"This does not mean that the University actually Twent in the red,?
Miles explained. "As a matter of fact, we had a unexpended balance of
S|p26l, 432.11 in the income fund as of July 1, 1946,"
The University has two sources of income, Miles explains, state
appropriations and its own earned income, the latter derived from fees,
auxiliary enterprises, U. S. government contracts, end sales and
services ..
The University's total current income for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1947, totaling ^1,329 , 766 .66, was derived as follows: state
appropriations,. 66*40 per cent; student fees, 17. 7^ per cent; sales
and services (departments, 0.92 per cent; auxiliary enterprises, 9.3^

Expenditures for the seme period included: administration and
general expense, 12.82 per cent; retirement, disability and death
benefits, 1.53 pen cent; instruction, 43.93 per cent; research, 0.77
per cent; extension, 1.79 per cent; library, 4*90 per cent; physical
plant, 14.76 per cent; refunds, 0.13 per cent; auxiliary enterprises,
9. $9 per cent; U. S. government contracts, 6.02 per cent; student
activities, 3.46 per cent.
Receipts from U. S. government contracts in 1946-47 totrled
$18,027.15, while expenditures totaled ^85 ,417 .7$, , the latter figure
representing chiefly University funds expended in conversion of veterans
housing projects.
Expansion of Southern into university-scale activity is reflected
in the, business manager T s report as it shows the spread of expenditures
for the various colleges and the increased funds allotted for research.
Instructional expenditures for 1946-47 totaled ^623,463.37,
compared to ^428,214.53 for 1945-4-6.
Distributed by colleges, these instructional expenditures for the
two years compare as follows: College of Liberal Arts and Sciences,
41. $2 per cent for 1946-47 compared to 41.21 per cent for 1945-46;
College of Vocations and Professions, 21,14 per cent, compared to
16.22 per cent; College of Education, 32.20 per cent, compared to
37.56 per cent; emeritus faculty salaries, O.67 per cent, compared to
1.20 per cent; organized activities relating to Instruction, 4.17 per
cent compared to 3.8l per cent.
Although the funds expended in the College of Education declined
from 37.56 per cent to 32.20 per cent, the actual amount rose from
1160,337.01 in 1945-46 to ^200,729.31 in 1946-47.
Development of research, which is one of the major functions of a
university, is reflected in funds expended for this purpose during
the past few years: ^203.53 in 1943-44; ^2,199.23 in 1944-45; $11, 867 .6*
in 1945-46; and ^10,850.18 in 1946-47.
These research funds represent funds expended for graduate studtnt
assistants, for research materials and travel for faculty members
engaged in research activities.
The University's plant investment rose substantially during the
past year, now being inventoried at ^2,686,078.29, compared to

Carbondale , 111., Feb. - The die is cast for the Southern
Illinois University Maroons, defending champions of the Illinois
Intercollegiate Athletic Associrtion.
The result will be known Saturday night when the Maroons, who lost
their first I. I. A. C. game of the season to Western last Friday, 71
to 1+&) play host to second place Eastern in the Southern gymnasium.
The contest will decide whether the Maroons are going to reign as
undisputed I. I. A. C. champions for the third consecutive time.
If the Maroons of Coach Lynn Holder can recover from the
overwhelming upset handed them by Western, they will be able to clinch
the league title in one game by defeating Eastern. The Maroons have
lost only once, and have remaining g ames against Normal as well as
Eastern. Eastern has l©st twice, and a defeat this Saturday by
Southern would be their third ;:nd would mathematically eliminate them
from all hopes of the title.
It w£ s a hot Western team which defeated Southern so thoroughly.
They hit a high percentage of their shots, out-rebounded the Maroons,
and played a more alert floor game.
Southern threatened only once. After trailing 30 to 21 at
halftime, a quick rally brought the Maroons to within two points of
Western at 35-33. However, the Leathernecks soon regained control and
won going away.
In losing to Western, a bit of early season history was repeating
itself. Southern opened the secsbn with eight consecutive wins before
losing, but then dropped two. Eight more consecutive wins were
recorded before We stern topped the Maroons last Friday,
If history repeats itself, the Maroons a re due to lose to Eastern
Saturday night to make their second straight loss. However, Co£ch
Holder's charges are drilling hard this week to defy history.

Carbondale t Jli«r' Feb*. 17 -Most .state mix varsities "have grown
without shape or form 6r plan, without consciousness of tj&e%t identity
with the community or region in which they are IwcateA," a distinguished
educator yesterday told the assembled faculty of Southern Illinois
University*
"l*ve seen them act like cream separators j* --Dr* Paul 5* Sears,
professor of botany at Oberl^n College,," declared,,
"They <*sorne of them- -skim off the best talent among their students,
train those superior students and send them off to the metropolitan
areas, so that their brains and leadership ere lost to their own home
communities fn
Southern, which only recently has embarked, on a univers it y~ scale
program, has a "great chance to contribute to the development ^f a
region that is unusual in its unity and interests^ the speaker asserted.
Remarking on the fact that Southern alone .serves approximately one
fourth the geographical area of Illinois and approximately one* fourth;
of the state"5 s population, as the only degrees-granting higher educationa]
institution in Southern Illinois, ■••■Br, Sears asserted^ "You've g«t probler

the best of your students *"
Man is inevitably a part of his sonanunity environment, influenced
by and making his own impact upon its natural resourcesf. the speaker
said*
"The only trouble Is* we don't act as if we believed that fact,"
he declared*
One of a series of outstanding educators being brought to the
Southern campus this year as consultants in the school's year-ground

developing them, conserving them.
He urged a broad sound general education as the basis for all kinds
of specialization, and discounted the "tragic narrowness" of the
professional or technical training that does not embrace a broad
grounding in "the great body of common knowledge."
"This liberal education is essential not only for the individual
student's development, but also for the protection of the society in
which he is to practice his profession," he insisted.
Dr. Sears decried the fact that students who prepare for the teach in
profession "often don't rate up with those who choose engineering and
medicine."
"It's tragic, for a really good leader can transform a community,"
he said.
"Encourage your best students to teach," he urged. "Don't take
leftovers ."
In the area of research and community service, his advice was to
gear these activities to the needs and desires of the region, while not
neglecting investigations into the field of "universal knowledge,"
The speaker remained on the University campus on Tuesday to confer
with faculty members individually and in groups, and to counsel with
students in the botany department.
He was presented to the faculty Monday by Dr. T.W, Abbott, dean of
the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, after University President
Chester F. Lay outlined the year-' round program of bringing educators
to counsel with Southern faculty members and students on the opportunitie
and responsibilities of a university in teaching, research and service.
Southern was authorized by the General Assembly and the Teachers
College Board in 1943 to extend its work into other fields tban teacher-
education; it has been recognized as a university by educational
accrediting agencies; and in the summer of 1947 its name was legally
changed to "Southern Illinois University."

Carbondale, 111., Feb. - The outstanding home attraction of
the season is on tap for Southern Illinois basketball fans Saturday
night when the Maroons of Coach Lynn Holder square off against Eastern
Illinois State College at 5:15 p.m. in the Southern gym.
The Maroons have their tv/o-year possession of the Illinois
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title on the block. Victory for
Southern will clinch the third straight I. I. A, C. conference title,
but a loss will throw the league into a tie between Eastern and
Southern which will not be cleared until the end of the season.
Also at stake for the Maroons is the right to represent the
I. I. a. C. in the National Intercollegiate District Tournament to be
held in Carbondale March 2 and 3.
In the previous game between the two teams, Southern, enjoying one
of its best performances of the season, defeated Eastern on the foreign
court, 5$ to 54. It was in that game that Jack Eadie of West Frankfort
turned in his best performance of the season with 21 points. Ollie
Shoaff of Mt. Carmel added 14 as the Maroons won on the long-shot skills
of these two men.
Eastern's stars are Bob Olson, former letter-winner at the
University of Illinois, Neal Hudson, a great four year veteran, and Don
Glover, one of the all-time greats of Paris high school basketball.
Along with guards Eadie and Shoaff, Holder plans to use his other
regular starters, brilliant Bob Colborn of Flora, Captain ^uentin
Stinson of Eldorado, and Joe Hughes of West Frankfort. Reserves Charles
and John Goss of Marion are ready for relief action, but substitute
center Jack Long of Flora continues on the ailing list with the sprained
ankle he suffered two weeks ago.
Although Holder was typically non-committal about the outcome of
the game, he carried an optimistic air.

Carbondale, 111., Feb. - Although there are still plenty of
tickets available for the National Intercollegiate District Tournament
to be held here March 2 and 3, the sale is progressing well, according
to Glenn "Abe" Martin, Maroon director of athletics and host to the
tournament.
Ticket sales for the four-team event between the best small-college
cagers in Illinois has been surprising from the viewpoint that there
has been a larger demand for tickets for the game March 3. The March
3 0ame will d etermine the championship and the team which will represent
Illinois in the National Intercollegiate Tournament which will be held
in Kansas City the following week.
However, Martin stated that he had thought there would be a much
larger group of people interested in seeing the two games the preceding
night than the single championship contest.
On March 2 the champions of the three Illinois College Conferences
will meet along with the team in the state with the highest rating
according to the Dunkel system. On the last Dunkel rating, Southern
had the highest r ating in the state, and was followed by the Western
team which defeated the Maroons in last weekTs astounding upset*
What the consequence of that upset will be upon the Dunkel rating
of Southern is hard to foresee, but the Maroons still have two tracks
open for entrance into the tournament, either by having the highest
Dunkel rating or by winning the Illinois Intercollegiate athletic
Conference, which they are now leading.
Tickets are on sale in v arious Southern Illinois cities and may
be purchased by mail from the Bursar, Business Office, Southern Illinois
University, by enclosing a money order with a stamped self-addressed
envelope.
Price of the tickets is $>1.20, and only 1,600 will be sold for

Carbondale, 111., Feb* -Southern Illinois University's great
Maroon team clinched its third consecutive basketball championship of
the Illinois Intercollegiate athletic Conference last Saturday by
swamping second place Eastern 73 to 52,

can claim a victory over the Maroons, having won in the finals of the
New Year's Day Tournament at Vincennes by a narrow 62 to 60 margin,
which was the first Southern loss of the season.
The game last Saturday against Eastern was the finest seen in the
Southern gymnasium this year. Although Southern jumped to an early lead
Eastern rallied quickly and the two teams traded punches, basket for
basket, for the last ten minutes of the first half, which ended 34 to 29
1
in favor of the Maroons,
Early in the second half, Southern moved out quickly on the wings
of a "hot" rally and was- never headed. Joe Hughes of West Frankfort
sparked the Southern attack throughout the game, Hughes passed well,
rebounded well, and scored better than he has done any time previously,
counting a total of 20 points.
The remainder of the scoring was well divided, with Jack Eadie
of West Frankfort hitting 14, Capt. Quentin Stinson of Eldorado 13, Bob
Colborn of Flora 12, and Ollie Shoaff of Mt. Carmel 11.
Eastern's hot-shot forward, classy Don Glover, led the visitor's
scoring with 16 points.

Carbondale, 111., Feb. - With only the Illinois Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference title decided, mystery still remains over the
identity of the other three contestants in the National Intercollegiate
District Tournament for Illinois which will be held in Carbondale
March 2 and 3.
Southern Illinois University1 s I. I. h, C. champions became the
first to earn a berth in the tourney- when they clinched their third
consecutive title by overwhelming second place Eastern 73 to 52
Saturday night.
In the Little Mine, Wheat on recently pulled up to a tie with
Millikin. The Pioneer Conference has Quincy on top with Shurtleff a
close second. From these teams will probably come two contestants
representing their respective leagues.
The fourth-place team is the team in the state with the highest
rating according to the Dunkel System, and will be chosen according to
the Feb. 2$ Dinkel release. The best, information indicates that
Western Illinois, currently one of the hottest teams in the state,
will have the highest racing as a result of a current winning streak
which they climaxed by whipping Southern's Maroons who previously had
enjoyed the highest "Dunkel.''
If Western should enter the tourney by virtue of its high rating,
the first game would be on the order of a grudge encounter since the
Leathernecks would face Southern in the rubber game of the season.
Each team has decisively defeated the other on its home court.
Tickets for the tournament may be purchased by mail from the Bursar.

Carbondale, 111. , Feb. - A Southern Illinois University-designed
typing desk is described ana illustrated by drawings in a recent issue
of the Industrial Arts and Vocational Education Magazine .
The desk was designed by Robert W. English, assistant professor
of industrial education, to carry out specifications developed by Va. A,
Buboltz, assistant professor of business.
Sixty of the desks were made for the University and are now in use
in the typing laboratories here, according to Mr. English.
Chief feature of the desk is its sturdiness to withstand the
vibration of shifting the typewriter carriage. Bolted joints and corner
braces provide this stability.
First of the desks made for the University were put in use about
seven years ago, and show no signs of shakiness, Mr. Buboltz reports.
The drawings contributed by Mr. English to Industrial Arts, and
Vocational Education Magazine are sufficiently detailed that educational
institutions may use them to have similar desks built either in their
own industrial education laboratories or by commercial concerns, he said.

handed them earlier in the season, the Southern Illinois University
Maroons easily topped Evansville College here Tuesday night 64 to 49,
ending Southern's regular season home schedule.
However, it was not the last appearance of seniors Quentin Stinson
of Eldorado and Ollie Shoaff of Mt. Carmel on the Southern court. They
will play again next Tuesday in the opening round of the Illinois
Intercollegiate District. Tournament when the Maroons, who have earned
the right to participate in the tourney by virtue of winning the
Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, square off against the
team in the state with the highest Dunkel rating, probably Western.
Evansville gave a good account of itself early in the game, but
faded quickly when the Maroon scoring power began to warm up. Southern
Capt. Stinson gave his finest performance of the year, banging in seven
field goals and five free throws for nineteen points. Stinson' s scoring
was different from any he has done previously, since he tallied on 15
j and 20 feet one-hand jump-shots, attempts of which he has rarely made in
past games.
West Frankfort's Joe Hughes turned in his second consecutive
brilliant game. Hughes, who has finally found his scoring eye, added
17 points to the 20 he totaled against Eastern last Saturday night.

games, the Southern Illinois University Maroons should be able to give
a :;ood account of themselves in the Illinois District playoff to be held
in Carbondale Tuesday and Wednesday, March 2 and 3, to determine
Illinois' entry into the National Intercollegiate Tournament (NAIB) in
Kansas City.
For the past three years Southern has played in the big tourney.
In 1945 Southern first entered and succeeded in winning fourth place.
Stars of that team were Sam Milosevich and Don Sheffer, both of Zeigler,
Southern's second chance at the "pot-o-gold,( championship was
successful. V/ith Sheffer and Milosevich back from the armed forces,
and two great players, ^uentin Stinson of Eldorado and Gene Stotlar of
Pinckneyville, added to the roster, the Maroons, under the guidance of
Athletic Director Glenn ??,abei? Martin, won the 32-team affair.
Victory in 1946 automatically returned Southern for the 1947
playoffs, but this time luck was not kind to the Maroons, since they
lost in the first game..
If the Maroons can take the District Championship, it will show
once again that Southern Illinois University is the capital of the
small college basketball in the State of Illinois, and it will send
Southern to the Kansas City tournament for the fourth consecutive year..
The result will be known Tuesday and Wednesday nights when the

States in the coming Olympic Games to be held this summer in London.
Part of the playoff to determine the team to carry the red, white,
and blue shield will be held in Carbondale March 2 and 3 when the

Carbondale, 111., Feb. -Last chance for Southern Illinois
basketball fans to see two outstanding Southern Illinois University
basketball stars will be March 2 and 3 when the Maroons play in the 111 in
Intercollegiate District Tournament at Carbondale to determine the
Illinois representative to the National Intercollegiate Tournament the
following week at Kansas City.
Captain Quentin Stinson of Eldorado and guard Ollie Shoaff of Mt .
Carmel will bow out in the tournament since it concludes the home play
of Stinson, who has been a star for three seasons, and of Shoaff, who is
finishing his second season as a regular*
Stinson' s great play as center has been one of the most important
reasons for the great success of the Maroons. During his three years,
"Stilts" brilliant rebounding and pivot play has been vital in his team' s
success. He is also the only remaining member of the team which won the
National Intercollegiate championship in 1946 when he was acclaimed secern
team Ail-American. With his passing, it is possible that the end of an
era-a truly brilliant era-will be upon Southern Illinois University
basketball. Southern has won the Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference championship during each of the years Stinson has played.
Ollie Shoaff transferred to Southern at the beginning of his junior
/ear in time for the 1946-47 basketball schedule. Previously Shoaff had
lettered with the 1942 University of Illinois Whiz Kids and served in the
army. So familiar have become Shoaf f T s long, dangerous one-hand shots,
:hat every time he starts to "get set" for a shot, a hush comes over the
:rowds. The Tournament March 2 and 3 will be the last time for People to
-hrill to the sudden stilling of the gym and roar with delight when the
let is ripped by the ball.
These men will be so desperately hard to replace next year. Last
•haaice for fans to see one of Southern Illinois University's greatest
:eams, with Stinson and Shoaff will be March 2 and 3.

For Tuesday Release:
Carbondale, 111., Mar. - The Illinois Intercollegiate District
Tournament, which decides the Illinois representative to the NaIB
tournament next week at Kansas City, gets under way Tuesday at B:00 p.m.
when James Millikin University, Little Nine champion, takes on .uincy of
the Pioneer league, at 9:30 p.m. the Southern Illinois University
Maroons will take the floor against Western Illinois.
Hillikin and Quincy earned the right to compete in this playoff
over the week by winning their conferences, but Millikin especially is
respected as a powerful team, having once handed Lynn Holder's Southern
Illinois University Maroons a decisive defeat.
VJestern is in the playoff by virtue of having the highest Dunkel
Rating in the state, while Southern gained admittance by capturing its
third straight Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title.
Southern's Maroons are favored to win the tournament, but only by
a narrow margin. Two teams, Western and Millikin, have defeated the
Maroons on their home floors. And Millikin is the only college team to
defeat Southern in Carbondale for three years, having turned the trick
in December, 1946.
The tourney Tuesday and Wednesday will be the last appearance of the
Maroons until next December when a new team will wear the maroon and
white. Missing from the team next year will be the great Captain
Quentin Stinson of Eldorado, one of Southern's all-time stars, and
clever, long-shot Ollie Shoaff of Mt. Carmel.
Stinson has been red hot in the last three games, and undoubtedly
hopes to make his farewell appearance a memorable one.
The winners of the two first-round games will meet Wednesday at
6:00 p.m. in the finals.

Carbondale, 111., March -Southern Illinois rural people want theii
children educated in rural schools, but in large well-equipped rural
schools, a Southern Illinois University survey reveals.
A public opinion poll among more than 2500 rural arid village school
patrons in six counties, conducted by graduate students under the
direction of Dr. Earl R. Hall, assistant professor of education, shows:
(1) $6 per cent think school reorganization would be a good move
for their community.
(2) 87 per cent prefer their children to attend a large well-equippe
school in a rural area, rather than a good city school.
The questionnaire was conducted in six counties--Hardin, Pope,
Williamson, Jackson, Johnson, and Franklin. Graduate students at the
University distributed the questionnaire with the cooperation of school
survey committee members in each county. Of 3>000 questionnaires
distributed, approximately 33 percent were filled out and returned,,
Nearly four-fifths of the school patrons polled in the six counties
replied "yes" to the question "Have you ever given thought to the
reorganization of schools?"
"It is evident that many people need more information and the better
informed they are, the more favorable they are toward school reorganizatic
Hall said,
"In counties wh ere school survey committees have been working for
about two years, holding public meetings to explain their proposals and
calk over the problems of the school, the people are more favorable to
school reorganization than in the counties where survey studies are just
starting.
"For example, in Jackson County, where the survey has just started,
33 per cent of the people were uninformed about school reorganization,
compared to the six-county average of 21 per cent."
(More)
One of the outstanding facts found in the poll is that "the rural
oeopie want to remain rural," Dr. Hall pointed out.
"They are not opposed to consolidation or reorganization as loner as
the school is located somewhere in the country. They seem to favor the
organization of a good eight-teacher country school because it will
provide better educational opportunities for their children than they ere
now getting in the many one-teacher schools.
"A big majority think better schools can be had by reorganization,
suggesting better teachers, hot lunch programs, health programs, music
and art instruction, better equipment, as reasons for their view."

Carbondale, 111., March -Southern Illinois University's great
Maroon team will represent Illinois in the National Intercollegiate (NAI
Tournament at Kansas City next week by virtue of winning the Illinois
District of the NAIB playoffs held here Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Holdermen battled through to the final victory in a thrilling
61 to 58 win over superb James Millikin University. The issue was in
doubt until the final 10 seconds of play when a field goal by Jack Long
of Flora ended the scoring.
This will be the fourth consecutive year that the Maroons have
played in the National tournament. By winning over Millikin in the
finals, Southern also added the college basketball championship of
Illinois to the state football championship won last November by defeat i]
North Central in the Corn Bowl.
Ollie Shoaff of Mt . Carmel and Captain Quentin St ins on of Eldorado,
both star seniors, were named to the playoff All-Star team, Shoaff also
being chosen co-captain along with Scott Steagall of Millikin.
Shoaff played the greatest basketball of his brilliant career in
his final bow before Southern Illinois audiences. Stinson, who has been
a brilliant three-year t regular and was named on the second All-America
team at Kansas City in 1946 when Southern won the National Intercollegiat
championship, captured scoring honors in the final game with 13 points.
The Maroon team this year is fully as good as the one which won
the Kansas City Tournament two years ago. Even though the caliber of
competition has improved greatly in the last two years, the Illinois
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference champions have maintained an even
better record, winning 21 against only 3 losses. Each team which
defeated Southern has subsequently lost to the Maroons in turn.
Averaging 65 points a game, Southern is definitely an offensive
team, but coupled with this high-powered scoring has been an alert
defense in the clutch.

Carbondale, 111., March -An exhibition of paintings by members
of the Pyramid Group of New York City is currently on view in the Little
Gallery at Southern Illinois University, according to Kenneth Ervin,
instructor in the Art Department.
This exhibition, to be on display throughout March, is composed of
works shown at the Riverside Museum in New York during November of the
past year, and is being circulated among colleges and universities
throughout the country.
The Pyramid Group was organized in 1947 to afford greater opportunit
for exhibition of works by young painters, sculptors, and graphic artists
Ervin explained.
"The members of the group, in their manifesto, stated the belief the
in the whole world today, only America offers any encouragement toward
complete freedom of expression necessary to the creative artist, and that
cooperation between individual artists is essential in order to arouse
and maintain interest in art as a form of expression."
Members of the Pyramid Group, while mainly residing in New York
City, hail from such widely divergent locales as New Mexico, Oklahoma,
Virginia, Pennsylvania, Minnesota and Idaho. At least two members were
born and received most of their training in Europe, one being a native
of Norway and another in Vienna.
Among the score of paintings now hanging in Old Main, Mr. Ervin
cited for particular attention such works as "Family Group", by George
Morrison, a Minnesotan whose drawings were exhibited in the Gallery
during January; "Girl Painting", by Louis Finkeistein, a native of New
York City; "The Float", by Carl Nesjar, a young Norwegian; "Monhegan
Abstraction," by Hyde Solomon; and "Chorale," by Paul England, an
Oklahoman.
Also included in the exhibition is one painting by Mr. Ervin,
finished since his arrival here in September, and entitled, "Msgic
Garden,"

Carbondale, 111., March - The library of Southern Illinois
; University is being expanded considerably more rapidly than the average
gain for libraries all over the country, reports Miss Opal Stone, acting
librarian.
Durin^ the past six months, a total of 3,411 volumes have been
added to the Southern library shelves, a „ain of 4.2 per cent, to push
its total holdings to $4,143 volumes, Miss Stone pointed out in her
annual report just issued. This total does not include 5,697 pamphlets
in the curriculum library, she added.
"The average University library doubles every 16 years, if Miss Stone
wrote in her report. "This University is increasing its holdings at a
much faster pace."
If acquisitions could be continued at the rate shown during the
past six months, the Southern library would double in approximately 12
years, rather than 16.
Acquisitions during the past six months include 2,154 books and
pamphlets, 234 documents, 32 bound magazines, all for the general
library; 763 volumes for the University High School library; 171 volumes
for the elementary school library; and 57 volumes for the curriculum
library.
The University receives 946 magazines, 103 newspapers, and five
newspapers -in-* microfilm.
Library circulation during 1947 totaled 145,416, an increase of
2£,369 over 1946, or an average monthly increase of 2,664, the report
shows.
Opening during 1947 of the new reference room— a temporary barracks
building added to the library—had made it possible to seat 120
additional students, thus greatly aleviating the library space shortage,
Miss Stone explained.
Stack space for periodicals and documents is critical, however.
Room is not available for the extensive expansion needed to provide
adequate library resources for the present large enrollment of students
and to develop library holdings commensurate with Southerns new
University status and the institution's prospective future growth.
Rearrangement of book-dispensing facilities and addition of
library personnel has substantially improved the library service to
students and faculty, the report shows.

Carbondale, 111., March -D-Day, H-Hour for the Illinois college
champions of Southern Illinois University is Sunday, March 7 at 4:30 a.m
when the Maroons of Coach Lynn Holder will entrain for Kansas City, Mo.
to participate in the National Association of Intercollegiate Basketball
tourney running from March 8 to 13 «
Southern's great team, owners of a 21-3 record, will play their fir:
game Tuesday afternoon against an opponent which has not yet been
designated* Thirty-two teams from all parts of the nation will enter,
each hoping for the glory-laden title as "National Intercollegiate
Basketball Champions »?T
The Holdermen will enter as an exceptionally well-balanced quintet.
They have some height, though Quentin Stinson of Eldorado at 6'4?T is
the tallest man. Also, Southern has speed, every man on the team being
fast, with guards Ollie Shoaff of Mt , Carmel and Jack Eadie of West
Frankfort being exceptionally quick. Long-shooting ability is present
in the ever-dangerous one-handers of Shoaff.
Joe Hughes of West Frankfort and Bob Colborn of Flora are balanced
forwards, each standing a little over 6T l?f but working better as
rebounders than their height would indicate. Both men also score well
from near the basket.
Total scoring for the season is remarkable well distributed. Four
regulars have scored over 240 points in the 24 games to pile up season
averages of over 10 points per game. Colborn is the scoring leader with
2£9 tallies, and is followed by Eadie' s 257(in 22 games), Shoaff ' s 251,
and StinsonTs 243* Hughes, who scored poorly early in the season, has
rallied recently and is nearly over the 200-point hump with 196.
Over the entire season the Maroons have scored 1555 points, which
comes to a highly respectable average per game of 64,8.

Carbondale, 111,, March - Although the Southern Illinois
University Maroons fell in defeat to Manhattan Colle._e of Mew York
City in the second round of the National Association of Intercollegiate
Basketball tourney at Kansas City last Wednesday by a 52 to 42 score,
Coach Lynn Holder's charges and Southern supporters can remember
proudly a season which ended with 22 wins against a mere four defeats.
The Holdermen won the I. I. A. C. title for the third consecutive
year, losing only one conference game to Western, whom the Maroons
defeated twice by decisive scores. Other games were lost to teams
to
which alse lost twice/the Southern team, Evansville and Millikin.
The I. I. a. C. champs again maintained an enviable record of
home play, Ooing undefeated for the third time in four years, and have
now lost only one game to a college team on the Southern floor in the
last four campaigns.
At Kansas City the Maroons played below the par they had
demonstrated during the regular Illinois ca_e season. The greatest
difficulty with the Holder men was their lack of ability to make shots*
Most of the time the rebounding was satisfactory, the passing clean,
and the floor play smooth. But the shot-making was off terribly.
Even though the Maroons failed to regain the National Intercollegiat
Championship they won in 1946, a spirit of "well done1' prevades the
home of the 194# Illinois college champions whose batting average in the
National tournament is still 250-one championship in four consecutive
attempts.
Capt. Quentin Stinson of Eldorado and Ollie Shoaff of Mt. Carmel
closed out their college careers for the Maroons at Kansas City. Both
of these stars, Stinson, the courageous rebounder and leader, and
Shoaff, the sensational one-hand lon0 shot, will be sorely missed next
year, a fact indicated by the naming of these men to Collegiate Ma ^azingj
Class B All-Midwest All-Star team.

Carbondale, 111., March - A total of 2,42$ students have enrolled
at Southern Illinois University for the spring term, according to the
Bursar's Office.
While this figure is slightly below the 2,477 enrolled for the
spring term of 1947, it is expected that by the end of the week,
deadline for registration without loss of credit, the current enrollment
will equal that of a year ago.
Registration for the spring term was completed in one day this
spring, and classes started on Tuesday morning, with several hundred
late comers paying fees yesterday and today. Reorganization of the
registration machinery permitted well over 2,000 students to complete
the enrollment process during the one day.

Carbondale, 111., March - A brand new game --combining features
of volley ball and lawn tennis--has been invented by a Southern Illinois
University physical education professor and is attracting considerable
attention in physical education circles.
Called volley tennis, the game was first trieo out some ten years
ago by Leland P. L ingle,, associate professor of physical education at
Southern, and has been developed during the ensuing years in play by
Southern students.
To be played on a court 36 by 7$ feet, volley tennis is adaptable
to both large and small groups, since it may be played by as few as
four players or as many as ten.
Lingle has reported on the new game to the Illinois health, Physical
Education and Recreation Association, and an article describing it will
appear in the association's journal shortly.
An article on the new game appears in the February issue of the
trade magazine, "The Coach, '' published in Kansas City.

Carbonds.le , 111., March - Although the Southern Illinois Universit
Maroon track squad has had only three days of practice, and that with
the hindrance of damp grounds, observers of the cinder-men ere optimistii
about their prospects for a very successful season.
Veteran Coach Leland P. "Doc" Lingle is starting his twenty-second
year at the helm of the I-iaroon tr£ ck and field crew with a solid basis
of 14 lettermen plus a liberal sprinkling of promising freshmen.
V/eather problems constitute Lingle' s greatest worry: on the turn
of the weather depends much of the squad's hores for early success in
the schedule of seven dual meets and the Illinois Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference meet in which Southern pieced second lest veer.
Captain George 3eltz of Marion, crack middle distance runner, heads
up the returning lettermen. Others are: Carl Birkner, Finckneyville ;
Leonard Burden, Herrin; Jim Cole, Norris City; Norris Garner, Clay City;
Bill Kayse, Benton; Truman Kill, Benton; Bob Luetzow, Chicago; Charles
Mathieu, Eldorado; Bob Neighbors, Belleville; Richard Newby, Farmer
City; Mike Sortal, Zeigler; Quentin Stinson, Eldorado; and Adrain
Stonecipher, Calem.
From Belleville come four very highly regarded freshmen; Joe Budde,
sprints; James Pflaster, hurdles; Ray Falmer, distance runs; and Bill
Brown, middle distance.
Two newcomers from Carbondale, Joe McLafferty and Buddy Miller, add
depth and brilliance to the distance running groups. Both have lettered
in cross-country, and McLafferty is the already Southern's all-time threat
in cross-country. In the 1947 Illinois High School State Track Meet,
this fleet freshman from Southern's University High School finished
second in 4.27.
Three new hurdlers ma]/" give the Maroons great strength in this
department. They are: Joe Hughes of 'est Frankfort, who has previously
created outstanding football and basketball reputations, Andy Anderson,
an erstwhile Texan who has two letters from McKendree, and Jack Neal of
Sparta .
Lingle fs outstanding task will be to work these men, and possibly
unheralded others, into a well balanced team. And Lingle is noted among
track circles for doing just that.

Carbondale, 111., March - The U. S. Public Health Service has
doubled its former assistance in support of research work being carried
on by Dr. Carl C. Lindegren, director of the new biological science
research laboratory ar Southern Illinois University, University Presiden
Chester F, Lay has announced.
The federal agency, on recommendation of the National Advisory
Cancer Council, has issued a grant of %>10,000 to Southern in support
of Dr. Lindegren' s investigations. Last year the U.S. Public Health
Service contributed ^5,000 to support Dr. Lindegren' s work at
Washington University in St. Louis.
Recently Dr. Lindegren, who has carried on basic research into
the nature of cells by studying yeast, discovered a variety of red
yeast which lost its color but which could have its color restored by
proper mating.
This color loss, or "depletion mutation,'' Dr. Lindegren believes,
may indicate a whole new concept of genetics and may cast light on
the problem of cancer by affording a new key to the cell's transmission
of hereditary characteristics from one generation to another.
It is the continuation of this investigation of Dr. Lindegren' s
that the U. S. Public Health Service has extended its new 010*000
grant to support.

Carbondale, 111., March -With his fingers crossed, Southern
Illinois University Track Coach Leland P. "Doc" Lingle is anxiously
watching all available barometers, weather-vanes, thermoneters , and

The twenty-two year veteran of the Maroon cindermen is really
"sweating out" the weatherman. Thus far in the year, he has had only
about three good days for drills, and he feels his boys are not as far
along as they should be.
"Doc" has high hopes of capturing the Illinois Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference t n ck championship by winning the conference meet
which will be held in Carbondale May 21-22. But to win, as Southern
did in 1946, "Doc" knows that it's going to be lots of work, and the
work requires lots of good weather.
But "Doc" isn't the only person on the Southern campus who is eager
for bright, shiny days. So would Baseball Coach Glenn "Abe" Martin, who
has not yet had an opportunity to get in any practice licks beyond mere
throwing and fielding practice.
The only consolation of these men is that perhaps the mud is just
as deep on other campuses, and perhaps, just perhaps, the other schools
are not very far ahead of them in conditioning,

Carbondale, 111., March -"What Makes a Good High School" was
the subject of a radio talk given here this week by John Mees, principal
of University High School at Southern Illinois University, whip listed tn
following qualifications:
1. An educational philosophy which promotes the principles and
spirit of democracy, and which is specifically stated,
2. A curricular and extra-curricular program which meets the needs
and interests of the pupils.
3. An excellent library which serves as the center of the
educational life of the school,
4. A well-organized guidance program,
5. Evidence that teachers and pupils are happily cooperating in
the stimulation of a wholesome curiosity about themselves and their
environment,
6. A competent and well-trained staff,
7. An attractive and appropriate building,
$. A capable administrator to coordinate the entire educational
program,
9. An alert and competent board of education,
10, An active parent-teacher association organization,
"It is essential for a good secondary school to have a carefully
formulated educational philosophy," Mr, Mees declared, "The school'
should be free to determine this philosophy for itself to the extent that
it promotes the principles and spirit of American democracy,
"Pupils should be given an opportunity to learn by doing and sharing
with each other. Democracy should be practiced in the class room for it
is more than a form of government, It is primarily a mode of associated
living. Therefore, the philosophy of the school should be based on the
democratic way of life."
Today1 s modern curriculum should include such courses as speech,
art, industrial education, homemaking, agriculture, typing, shorthand,
bookkeeping, salesmanship, music appreciation, as well as such subjects
as English, foreign language, science, social science and mathematics,
he said,

"There can be no rigid dividing line, educationally, between the *
usual classroom activities and those activities sometimes called
"extra-curricular activities" which commonly permit more freedom and
are more largely initiated and directed by the pupils themselves,1' he
asserted.
Another important part of r-he good high school which has been
stressed in recent years is guidance, he pointed out.
"Guidance should be thought of as an organized service designed to
give systematic aid to pupils in making ad just merits to various types of
problems which they must meet- -educational, vocational, health, moral,
social, civic and personal.
"It should endeavor to help the pupil to know himself as an
individual and as a member of society; to enable him to correct certain
of his shortcomings that interfere with his progress-; and to know about
vocations and professions so that he may intelligently choose and prepare
for a life career."
In conclusion, Mr. Mees declared that ".communities too little
appreciate that the school is their greatest cooperative enterprise and
that it is permanently affects the welfare of its boys and girls,"
"This requires that the supporting public be informed regarding the
policies, programs, objectives, activities and plans for the future of
the school, and that the support be assured for the school's undertaking.

Carbondale, 111., April - Karlan C. Hodges, assistant basketball
and football coach at Southern Illinois University, has signed a three-
year contract as head coach of basketball at Iiurray(Ky. ) State College.
Formerly an outstanding coach in high school at West Frankfort
and Carrier Mills, Hodges joined the Maroon staff in September of 1947.
He will continue his work of teaching physical education here until the
close of the spring term in June when he will move to Murray.
The affable, popular Hodges will be coaching in one of the best
basketball schools in the Middle West, a school which through the years
has maintained an excellent record. He replaces John Miller who
resigned early in the past season after a bad start.
This will be the third college at which Holdges has coached. In
addition to Southern, he also has experience at Missouri (Rollo) School
of Mines, when he won the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
track championship in 1943 .
Southern Athletic Director Glenn "Abe" Martin stated that he was
sorry to lose Hodges, who had been very satisfactory, but that he
realized the move is to Hodges' advantage.

Attention: Sports Editors
Carbondale, 111*, April 3 - Southern Illinois University's
untried baseball Maroons open their season at Jonesboro, Arkansas,
today when they face the host Arkansas State College Indians at 2:00 p*m
Maroon Coach Glenn "Abe" Martin will not know who all his starters
will be until shortly before game time. The primary reason for Martin's
uncertainty is the wet weather which had dampened Southern spirits and
practice grounds for a week..
Martin and his charges tre well aware that they are not in good
shape for the game, having had only three warm days of outside practice
this spring, and the practice on those days was impeded by dampness.
Marion Moake of Marion will probably draw the starting mound
assignment and Raymond Kuykendall of Steelville will do the receiving,
■
The infield appears to be well defined with Clyde ''Lou" Leilich of New
Athens at first, Bill Bleyer of Carterville at second, Charlie "Bull"
Durham of West Frankfort at short, and freshman Kenny Longman of Herrin
at the hot-corner.
But in the outfield, Martin will wait until the last moment, his
starters depending upon whether Arkansas choses a left or righthander
for the starting assignment.
Completing the 27-man traveling squad are: catchers, Milton
Wisebecker of Mt . Vernon and Richard Jones of Gillespie; first base,
Don Glover of Mt . Vernon; second btse* Bill Elder of Eldorado; third
base, Jesse Payne of Carbondale.
Outfield: Pete Milosevich, Zeigler; George Bauer, Zei?ler; Bob
Goalby, Belleville; James Becker, Evansville; Jim Lovin, Benton; Dick
Seelman, Flora; Ed Kerr, Carbondale; and Bill Casper, Cobden.
Pitchers: Byron Hargis, Ellis Grove; Bernard Heiligenstein,
Freeburg; Leon Sitter, Cobden; Harry ''Bud" Grater, Carbondale; Bill

Carbondale, 111., April - About sixty Southern Illinois
University varsity athletes will see action Saturday, April 10, as
the Maroons entertain four sport teams from two schools, Western
Illinois State College and Illinois State Normal University.
Baseball Coach Glenn "Abe" Martin's charges will try to enter
the win column against the highly touted Redbirds of Normal. Western
will invade Carbondale with track, golf, and tennis teams.
The Maroons lost their only baseball game, a 3-2 decision at
Arkansas State last Saturday. Even in losing, Southern looked good,
surprisingly good in view of the very limited amount of practice they
have had.
Four pitchers, Marion Moake of Marion, Bernard Heiligenstein of
Freeburg, Leon Sitter of Cobden, and 3yron Hargis of Chester, hurled
two rounds each, and each turned in an able job.
Leland P. uDoc" Lingle will lead his thin-clads against the
Western Leathernecks to begin what is hoped will be a very successful
season. Lingle has a solid crew of lettermen back in the fold from 1947
Bill Freeburg' s tennis team is of unknown quality. Every netster
is a newcomer, and how well they will bear up under competition is a
matter of conjecture.
Lynn Holder, Maroon cage coach, is blessed with four returning
lettermen, but he is troubled by having no regular place to play.
Jackson Country Club, where the Maroons played in 1947, is undergoing
repairs, and is unavailable for use.
Arrangements have been made for golf meets to be played at the
DuQuoin Country Club.

Carbonciale, 111., April - An exhibit of paintings of Mexican
subjects by a Canadian flier will be shown at Southern Illinois Universi
April 3-30, Ben Watkins, acting chairman of the art department, has
announced .
The paintings of W. J. 3. Newcombe, loaned from the State Museum
at Springfield, will be shown in the Little Gallery on the second floor
of the Main Building. The exhibit is open to the public.
The young Canadian painter, who served, in the Royal Canadian Air
Force, went to Mexico after the war. Many of his paintings were done at
the art colony at San Moguel de Allende .
"Life and Death," symbolizing the life and growth of plants in
contrast to old buildings in a street of ruins, is regarded as Newcombe'
strongest work, according to Mr. Watkins.
Other pictures in the exhibit are "Mexican Country Scene/' "Hacien
Ruins," "Ghosts of San Miguel Canyon," and "Siesta.''
"Newcombe ' s use of figures is original in dramatic composition,"
Mr. Watkins pointed out. "The spectator often feels that he is engaging
in the activity of the scene. This is particularly true in the picture
'3eiz,' or 'Baseball,' where the spectator becomes a player before the
crows."
The Newcombe exhibit is being circulated by the State Museum and
is now completing a circuit of Illinois colleges and universities.

Carbondale, 111., April -The homemakerTs "margin of fear.'7
is the cause of many broken homes, said Mrs. Bonaro Overstreet, noted
poet, psychologist, and author, in a lecture before Southern Illinois
University faculty and students this morning.
Mrs. Overstreet explained that every person has his circle of
responsibility where he is expected to perform and perform well, and his
circle of actual achievment. Often the circle of actual achievment is
smaller than the circle of responsiblity causing emotional stress upon
the part of- the individual. This margin of difference is called the
margin of fear. In many homes women never really learn the job of
homemaking and become defensive of their position. The fear margin makes
■
:hem afraid of being caught off guard., hence conflict results In the
Lome which too often leads to a break in the home.
The fundamental needs of each individual are (a) the need -of belong!
'b) the need for individual significance, and (c) the sense of being
:ompetent, she pointed out. "If these fundamental needs are not somehow
satisfied, we will be all out of kilter/' she said, wand can no longer
>e health within ourself .
"The sense of being wanted is the most basic. Without it the person
becomes overly aggressive or prejudiced because he can't relax. The
>erson who tries to , push other people around doesn't honestly feel wanted
md cherished. His aggression is a sign of weakness and lack of feeling
of belonging."
The second need--that of individual—significance is a. compulsion to
rant to be equal with others in relationships ana causes, the speaker
said. "Ue must decide what kind of person we are going to be on our own
lower," she declared. "If we let ourselves become simply users of the
ready made, we are using up some portion of our uniqueness. Some people
lie awake nights trying to make us want things we don't want. We must
be something besides good consumers."
Unless we make some choices in knowledge and beliefs, we are allowi.
some of our individual equipment go to waste in the making of a unique
self, Mrs. Overstreet cautioned.
(More)
■">

Last in Mrs. Overstreet ' s listing of the basic needs is the- sense
of being competent, "the know how." For a sense of inner security, we
must feel that we can perform some task well.
"The pattern of need is to have skill and competence enough to have
no fear," she added. "The person who has no sense of belonging is
dangerous to others. The person who has no individuality adds nothing t
the group. The person with no competence is of no value to the group.
"The psychologist says the person creates the situation in which he
finds himself. He makes chaos and then gives justification for making
more chaos."
"Psychology and its companion, the life sciences, are saying that
our chance to be effective, our chance to be happy, and our chance to gel
along with others depends on what we think about our self."
According to Mrs. Overstreet, Webster's dictionary contains 1,200
words combined with "self" which might be said, to give man's moral and
mental endeavor to find out what he is. Description of an individual's
physical appearance tells us little about whether he is a desirable
person. It is only when we apply "self" to the adjectives that we get
an insight into character. "Self-righteous," "self-centered," and "self
satisfied" are basic comments which lead us to immediate decisions as to
whether or not that individual is one which we desirel to have around,
she pointed out.
"Self" expressions show that an individual is tied up with the
world," she explained. "Being self-conscious or 'all elbow' in front
of a crowd shows that you don't feel the whole situation, but part of it;
and therefore your tie with the world is not as effective as it should
be. The same is true with self-pity. If everyone else gets a square
deal and you don't then your self relationships are not effective."
The great news of our century is the underwriting of our old
Spiritual values by psychology and the social sciences. The
psychiatrist's spiritual way to mental health lies in the human fellowsh:
that has been pointed out to us through the centuries by our spiritual
see-ers, she concluded,

Carbondale, 111., April - Southern Illinois University's trackj
tennis, and golf teams are steadying themselves this week to resist an
invasion by Cape Girardeau on Wednesday, April 14. The tennis meet
will begin at 1:00 p.m. on the Southern courts, the golf meet at 1:00
p.m. at the DuQuoin Country Club, and the track meet at 3:00 p.m. in
Mc Andrew Stadium.
Coach Leland P. "Doc" Lingle's track team opened its season in
good form last Saturday by swamping Weste.ro Illinois State College
8$ 2/3 to 42 l/3, but Bill Freeburg' s charges on the tennis courts
fared poorly in losing six straight matches to their Leatherneck
opponents .
Paced by the record breaking performance of Quentin Stinson of
Eldorado in the discus, the Maroons took 10 firsts and tied for
another. The Linglemen swept three events, the mile, two mile, and
pole vault .
Stinson threw the discus 145' 11 J" to break the Southern record
which he established last year. This mark is better than the Illinois
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference distance, and Stinson is undoubtedly
pointing toward establishing an new 1. I. A. C. record.
Against Cape, the Maroons are anticipating a difficult, interestin
track meet. Southern's promising freshman railer, Joe McLafferty of
Carbondale, will meet his first serious competitor in Cape's Course,
who is one of the best 'nailers in this section of the country.
McLafferty won easily last Saturday in 4, 50s.
Tennis Coach Freeburg attributed the Maroon's overwhelming loss
to Western partly to lack of experience. It was the first competition
for any of his team, and they did not play up to par.
' m
Glenn "Abe" Martin's baseball team, which will be idle until
Friday, April 16, when Western comes to Carbondale for a two-game, two-
day series, took highly favore'd Normal's measure 4 to 3 in a thriller «
The Maroons had a number of fielding lapses, but the brilliant
clutch pitching of Marion Moake of Marion, who went the conn ] ete'routc ,
saved the victory, Moake scattered s even hits and stranded' 10
Redbirds on base.
The star of the game, however, was Rzadski, Normal pitcher, who
allowed only three hits. After the Maroons had made four" runs in the
first two innings with the aid of four Normal errors, Rzadski retired
18 of the next 19 men in order^

Carbondale, 111., April - Approximately 20 per cent of the
2,500 students enrolled at Southern Illinois University are commuting,
some from neighboring communities but a substantial number from great
distances, according to the annual report of Mrs. Mabel Pulliam, housing
counselor,
"Many students who drive in from adjacent towns do so because they
prefer to live at home," Mrs. Pulliam pointed out, "but those who drive
; long distances daily do so either because of the poor housing facilities
in Carbondale or because they feel they can reduce living costs by
living in their own homes."
An analysis of the housing situation at Southern this year shows
that approximately 37 per cent of the girls and 13 per cent of the boys
live in organized houses—dormitory, fraternity or sorority, or organize
rooming or boarding house. This group represents abput 20 per cent of
the total.
Another approximately 20 per cent of the student body lives in
unorganized houses. Only five students live in trailers and only 33
basement rooms and apartments are occupied by students.
"The rooming situation for students appears a bit better than a
year ago," Mrs. Fulliam reported, ''However, there is not e surplus of
good rooms.
"In the fall of 1946 when the boys were returning from service,
25 students rented rooms in Murphysboro. This year no student rented
a room in Murphysboro unless he preferred it to Carbondale.
"No student was turned away this past year because no room could
be found for him."
Mrs. Pulliam attributed much of the relief in the housing situation
to the fact that the University has provided 173 emergency apartments
for veterans, both adjacent to the campus and at the Illinois Ordnance
Plant. Another 27 apartments at the ordnance plant housing project are

File of Chester.
Guest speaker for the occasion was E. W. Schergens of the Tell Cit'
(Ind.) News, who, spoke on "Journalism, Payrolls and Profits.''
For the development of a progressive, profitable weekly newspaper,
Mr. Schergens advocated: (1) a strong local editorial column, geared
to the interests of the community-- ''The people want to know and have a
right to know what the editor thinks about important issues/' he said;
(2) a good sports page; (3) good photographs; (4) active participation
in communit}?- enterprises; (5) maintenance of sound subscription
policies, occasionally offering reduced r::tes for long-term
subscriptions .

legislative program designed to recodigy the st£teTs publication laws;
the current committee hearings in Washington on regulation of radio;
the current United Nations commission session in Geneva on freedom of
the press.
He cautioned the editors that the radio hearings have a pertinent
bearing on the newspapers, since radio is urging that radio should be
as . free as the press in commenting on political and other public issues.
"This may result in a well-intentioned but dangerous attempt to
restrict the press in an effort to sort of equalise the two," he r'ointec
out .

Carbondale, 111., April -Don't clip your sweet clover — it's
too great a "shock" to the crop.
This is the advice of the Southern Illinois University agriculture
department, reports Dr. L.R. Tucker, acting chairman, after some
practical experiments on the University Farm.
Contrary to the red clover, growing in the central part of the
state, which is not damaged by clipping, the sweet clover prevalent in
Southern Illinois, even when clipped as high as a mower will clip it,
is "drastically shocked" by clipping, Dr. Tucker declares.
During the year, workmen on the University Farm were instructed to
clip with their mowing machines the weeds in thesfield along the road,
to improve the appearance of the farm. The clover was clipped along
with the weeds in this area. Clover planted in the wheat stubble in
-the fields proper was not clipped, however.
On April 9, an examination of the two treatments showed that the
clipped clover had not more than one-third as much top growth as the
undipped clover, Dr. Tucker said, and some of the roots had been
■partially heaved out of the ground during the winter.

Carbondale, 111., April -Southern Illinois University's
undefeated track team raced to its fourth consecutive one-sided victory
against Illinois Normal University here Saturday while the Maroon tenni;
team was defeating the Normal netsters and the Southern baseball team
was losing to Arkansas State College.
Coach Leland P. !iDoc!? Lingle's powerful well-balanced aggregation
won in a breeze, 101 l/3 to 29 2/3. Southern took 13 firsts, losing
only in the 880 and the mile relay.
Joe Hughes of West Frankfort and Joe McLafferty of Carbondale were
both double winners for the Maroons, Hughes winning both the high and
low hurdles while McLafferty was annexing first place in both the mile
and the two mile runs.
Southern's tennis team swamped Normal 7 to 2 for its third
consecutive victory after two early season defeats. Coach Bill Freebur;
charges won five of six singles matches and two of three doubles matche;
Rill Williams of Galatia, Jack Mawdsley of Granite City, Bob
t?Squire'? Armstrong of Carbondale, Bob Harmon of Lincoln, and Rill
"Pin-Head" Price of Texico won singles matches for the Maroons. Dick
Vorwald of Granite City was stopped by Normal's Merlin Belle 6-2, 2-6,
6-4 for the only singles defeat.
In doubles play, Williams and Mawdsley, number one, and Armstrong

Kostoff of Granite City dropped their number three match to Blakeman
and Hertz of Normal 6-2, 6-1.

for the second time, 8-to 6. Previously at Jonesboro, Arkansas, the
Indians had won 3 to 2.
Renny Wilhelm earned the pitching decision over Southern's Bernard
Heiligenstein of Freeburg. Heiligenstein pitched beautifully until
Maroon fielding lapses behind him exhausted his energy, forcing him to
give way in the seventh inning to relief-hurler Byron Hargis of Ellis
Grove.
Southern established an early 6 to 2 lead, but it wilted in the
sixth inning when Arkansas scored four times on three errors, a walk,
and a hit. The Indians iced the game in the seventh with two more runs.

Carbondale, 111., April 27 - The dusky halo which appeared
around the sun early this afternoon is a phenomenon almost as rare as
hen's teeth, but it has a simple enough scientific explanation,
according to Dr. Floyd F. Cunningham, Southern Illinois University
geographer .
The huge ring of cloud-like vapor, which resembled a rainbow
in black-and-white, was caused by bending of the sun's rays against
cirro-stratus or ice clouds, Dr. Cunningham explained.
Appearance of the cirro-stratus clouds are often the sign of
approaching weather disturbances, he added.
"We often see such 'rings' around the moon," he said, "but
because of the intensity of the sun's light, we don't often see much
a ring around the sun."

Carbondale, 111., April - Eying; their fifth consecutive victory,
the Southern Illinois University tricksters of Leland P. "Doc" Lingle
visit Eastern Illinois at Charleston Saturcay, May 1.
The Maroons have encountered no competition in any meet this
season, defeating Western Illinois, St. Louis University, Cape
Girardeau^ end Illinois Normal University in succession, each by a
doubled score or more.
But Southern is anxious to meet Charleston, who "Doc" Lingle
expects to provide the strongest competition thus far.

Carbondale, 111., April - Revenge is the purpose of the
Southern Illinois University tennis team which will invade St. Louis
University Friday for a return match.
St*. Louis handily defeated Southern earlier in the season, but
since that time the Maroons of Coach Bill Freeburg have improved
greatly, winning their last three matches against Cape Girardeau,
Evansville, and Illinois Normal in easy fashion.
When St. Louis earned its win over Southern, the Maroons had had
very little time to get in shape. But in only the last two weeks,
their game has improved, remarkably, and now they feel that they may be
able to even the score with the Billikins.

St. Louis, forcing the Billikins to go all-out to win 4 to 3 . Bill
Freeburg' s racket men have been developing very rapidly, and even though
they are all new to intercollegiate courts, they may be able to defend

and capture three points, ana Ralph Parrish of Carbondale burned down
the last nine holes in 34 to win his match, but Western won 9 to 6.

Carbondale , 111., May 6 - Southern Illinois University's baseball
diamond yesterday swarmed with over 500 people, most of them erade
school boys, who turned out to see Rogers Hornsby and the Chi cap- o Daily
News Baseball School .
The baseball clinic, which has the double purpose of grounding'
youngsters in the rudiments of baseball knowledge and of interesting
them in the national pastime as a means of combatting /'uvenile
delinquency, opened with a short talk by Hornsby on the correct ways
to throw, field aground ball, catch a fly, and hit,
Hornsby accompanied his t alk with a demonstration of correct
procedures, ending by showing the batting form he used to become the
greatest right-handed hitter in modern baseball history.
Each boy present received a turn at bat as Hornsby pitched and
encouraged them to nhit it hard.1'
At the request of Southern baseball coach Glenn ''Abe,? Martin,
Hornsby watched the Maroons field and hit, and recommended various
changes, chiefly in the matter of batting stance.

Carbondale, 111., May - Here's something new under the sun I
Southern Illinoisans are used to music students being presented in
recitals to show what they can do, but Southern Illinois University
next Monday will present a ''recital" by students in the speech
department .
Reminiscent of the programs presented by "teachers of elocution"
half a century ago, this University speech program will be minus the
trappings of stagy gestures and artificial accents of by-gone years.
Instead, the collegians will demonstrate that they are being taught
to use modern eloquence — simple , unaffected, to the point.
One feature of the program will be a demonstration of choric
reading by a choir of 30 voices. This group will present "Caliban in
the Coal Mines" by' Louis Untermeyer, "The Congo" by Vachel Lindsay and
"Coffee with Meal" by Ogden Nash.
Three numbers of poetry reading will be given by Ralph Lane of
Eldorado, reacting "Intimations of Immortality'' by William Wordsworth,
and by Leone McClerren of Thompsonville , Jerome Seltzer of Altamont and
Joseph Rezetka of Benton, reading "The Death of the Hired Man" by
Robert Frost .
A prose section will include narrative prose, Thomas Wolfe's
"What Is Man?", presented by Robert Veach of Herrin; a narrative play,
Sinclair Lewis's "The Good Spbrt" byw Barbara Harrison of Sparta, Dale
Kittle of Wayne City, and George Seifert of DuQuoin; and comedy reading,
Dorothy Parker's ^fhe Waltz-," by Charlotte Waggoner of Herrin.
The speech recital will be given Monday evening at 3 p. m. in the
Little Theatre on the University campus, and will be open "to the public
without charge..
During the period May. 16-27 a series of individual student recital
will be given,

5-10-43
Carbondale, 111., May - Southern Illinois is a territory where
a wide range of crops can be profitably grown, and as soon as "we learn
to feed our plants as well as our animals, we will take care of our own
prosperity,1' declares Dr. Lowell R. Tucker, Southern Illinois University
agriculturist .
Dr. Tucker asserted that Southern Illinoisans "are as able to help
ourselves as those of any other regions," while admitting that Southern
Illinois "happens to be a land or territory where the people need to
help themselves sooner than in some of the more recently settled, level,
rich territories."
While not disapproving of the surveys being made by various agencie'
and associations to "help the poor people of 'Little Egypt,'" Dr. Tucker
proposes that Southern Illinois take a look at its resources and see
what the area itself can do to improve its lot.
"Regardless of industry, business, or any other factor," he assertec
"the first item of success in any territory is eventually related to
the productivity of the land.
"Animals must depend on plant growth, humans must depend on both
plant and animal growth for their food supply. Therefore, conditions
for plant growth are the first and most important essentials for a
territor}/- to be prosperous.''
In Southern Illinois, '.he feels, the favorable conditions for growing
economic plants outweigh the unfavorable ones, if these conditions are
(more)
-2-
recognized end dealt with..
One unfavorable factor is that plant growth in Southern Illinois
is uneven, he said.
It is literally true that in some parts of Southern Illinois, "the
grass is definitely greener than it is just over the fence on some other
farms," he pointed out.
"Often one reason is because there is more grass,'' he explained.
"The farms depend on rainfall for their water supply, and the rein falls
on the just and the unjust alike. The weatherman brings the weather to
all alike, except that the hilltops tend to have some frost protection
that the valleys do not have, and the river bottoms get floods that the
higher ground does not receive.''
The same irregularity in yield holds true for other crons, he added.
Another reason for the irregularity in production is the fact that
one farmer practices sound farm management— including proner feeding for
his plant s--while his neighbor does not, Dr. Tucker said.
"This territory has been farmed longer than most territories of
the state, and the native plant food supply is running short," he
explained.
"It is generally recognized that if you are to grow an animal,
you will have to feed it. This is not so thoroughly recognized where
plants are concerned."
Southern Illinois has the sunshine, heat and water supnly available
each year — all favorable factors, he pointed out. These ingredients
for a good crop are supplied and distributed free and evenly over the
land.
"Minerals needed by plants and organic matter, however, are in the
shortest suprly of any item on many farms—unless they are added by
the farmer," he declared.
(more)
■'Production in this region can therefore be increased many fold by-
feeding the plants the needed minerals and adding organic matter," he
asserted.
The University agriculturist, who is ecting chairman of the
agriculture department, also pointed out that agriculture isn't the
concern of the farmer alone — consumers as well as farmers have a stake
in agriculture, and agriculture properly conducted can stimulate
prosperity for commerce and industry.
"The community helps any business including agriculture in a number
of ways besides the very important item of furnishing a demand for the
good," Dr. Tucker explained. "The feeding of plants requires fertilizer,
which the farmer must buy with money. Here is an opportunity to loan
money wisely and profitably.
"It requires the procurement, transfer and distribution of the
fertilizer—more big industry. This often includes such things as
construction and use of trucks, commercial spreaders, and so on.
"More industry is necessary in handling the crops produced,"
Southern Illinois is a territory where a wide range of crops can be
profitably grown, Dr. Tucker insisted.
"The greatest improvement that can be made in this territory is
to arrange for the proper distribution and intelligent use of lime,
phosphate, potash, and nitrogenous fertilizers in the places where
they are most needed.
"Let us in our towns consider further the commerce that our country
people need so that all will prosper more,
"The commerce needed most includes fertilizers to increase the
crops, processing to change perishable to much more staple products,
and improved commerce of marketing.
"The rural areas have a wide range of skills for growing crons.
Local help is needed in these other lines, and it is the opportunity and
duty of the communities to supply it."
With self-help, Southern Illinois is capable of developing its
diversified land of plenty and beauty into a "Garden of Eden" yielding
an abundance of fruits, vegetables, flowers, cereals, milk, eggs and
meats, Dr. Tucker is convinced.

Cerbondale, 111., May - The popular conception of the drawing
power of a q'ood athletic team may have been blasted here at Southern
Illinois University as the result of a poll conducted by two graduate
sociology students.
So was the "country club?' reputation of college life.
These two students - William D. Hatley of Carbondale and Frances
R. Paule of Belleville - conducted a scientific poll of a representative
sample of the freshmen class a
Out of the 200 first year students queried, only 1 per cent said
they c ame to Southern because of the University* s well known basket
ball t earn '.
(Southern has won its third consecutive Illinois Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference title in basket ball, in 1946 won the National
Association of Intercollegiate Basketball championship at the Kansas
City Tournament, has represented the State of Illinois at Kansas City
three out of the last four. years, and last year went to Kansas City as
the defending champions.)
Another 1 per cent said they came to ioin a fraternity or sorority '.
Eleven per cent of the freshmen polled said they c ame to Southern
because of the school's "higher rating amor,'?- the country's colleges."
The freshmen polled by Hatley and Paule were asked to indicate
the two major reasons they came to Southern c
9y far the largest group--$0 per cent--ssid they chose Southern
because it is "close to home," and 62 per cent rave as one of their
(more )
-2-
major reasons the fact that Southern is "not so expensive.1"
Their other reasons included: influence of friends, 24 per cent;
scholarship, good only at Southern, 9 per cent; people at Southern "are
good common Folks", 7 per cent.
Nearly 90 per cent of the freshmen polled, are attending college
primarily to prepare themselves for a vocation, according to the survey.
The pollsters found that 57 per cent are preparing for some vocation
other than teaching, while 31 P(3P cent are preparing: for the teaching
profession.
The students Questioned were asked to check the three most important
reasons or factors influencing their decisions to ^o to college. Their
answers, in percentages, follow:
Preparation for vocation other than teaching, 57 per cent; narents
wanted you to go to college, 39 per cent; to earn more money, 36 per
cent; for the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake, 34 per cent; to
prepare yourself for the teaching profession, 31 per cent; increase your
range of vocational choice, 27 per cent; to If am to appreciate life
more fully, 23 per cent; to find out for what you are qualified, 14
per cent; to improve your social standing, 13 per cent; attractions of
the G.I. Bill of Rights, 25 per cent (answered only by veterans); you
had nothing better to do, 5 per cent; to enter into sports, 4 per cent;
for the social life, 3 per cent; your boyfriend or girlfriend went to
college, 3 per cent; to find a desirable mate, 2 per cent.
The survey was conducted as part of HatleyT s and Paule's work in a

Carbondale, 111., May - The Twenty-Ninth Annual Illinois
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Track and Field Meet will be held
at McAndrew Stadium in Carbondale, May 22*
Defending champion Northern Illinois Slate Teachers College of DeKal'
is favored to win the meet, which will have trial heats Saturday morning
before the finals beginning at 1:30 p.m. Donesters are giving Southern
Illinois University the nod for second place on the be sis of decisive
victories over the other teams, Western Illinois State College, Illinois
State formal University, and Eastern Illinois State College.
If any team is capable of dethroning the potent Northern Huskies,
it will be the Southern Maroons of Coach Leland P. :TDoc" Lin.^le. On
the basis of previous performances, Northern should be £Ood for at least
five firsts, with Southern and Western following with three. Southern
gets the nod over Western by virtue of an overwhelming dual meet win.
Outstanding events should be the 120-yard high hurdles and the
$$8-yard run.
Three men, Southern's Joe Hughes from West Frankfort, Normal's ^eyer
and Northern's E, Smith are matched with identical times, 15»$s, in the
high hurdles.
Five closelv matched men have been entered for the 880 with only two
seconds covering the soan of their best times this year. James of
Western, Spiller of Eastern, Jones of Normal, Drynan of Northern, and
Southern's Capt. George Beltz of Marion have each run the distance in
less than 2:02s. (more)
'
-2-
The record most likely to be broken is the discus mark. Southern's
Quentin Stinson, the great athlete from Eldorado, has exceeded the old
mark several times with his best toss ^oine 145' 7".
Another sure winner is Lloyd La Rose of Last era, who smears to be
a walk in in the shot-put with a previous effort of 47T 11" •
In the mile, Goodwin of Northern has the best time, 4:34s, but he
will find competition from Southern's Joe McLafferty of Carbondale, who
has been just a second or t wo off that pace all year. Normal's Osborne,
with a 4.40s race to his credit, will provide ru?"red competition for
Goodwin and McLafferty,
Ronnie Jackson, Western's speed merchant, is the class of both
sprints, with a 10-flat 100 and a 21,6s 220 to his credit. He will have
able challengers in both events, with Northern's Bender and Southern's
Joe Budde of Belleville both capable of pullins an upset.
Northern appears set to walk away with the pole vault and hig-h
jump. Hunsberger and Greinke have vaulted 12' 7i! } s. half a foot better
than their nearest competition, and Marston's 6' 4!i jump is well ahead
of the field.
The I. I. A, C. track meet, however, will not be the only activity
on the Southern c ampus, Saturday, May 21. Southern's Second Annual
Spring Carnival, a three day celebration, will feature a carnival
midway at the same time as the track meet, and visitors are assured of
varied other entertainment.

Carbondale, 111., May - An analysis of a recent study of higher
education and democracy in this country, prepared by a special commissioi
appointed by President Truman, was made by Dr. VJ. W. Parker, president
of Southeast Missouri State Teachers College, here Monday night.
addressing the Southern Illinois University chapter of the American
Association of University Professors, President Parker termed the report
a significant one. He agreed with many of the findings of the commissio]
deploring (a) the inadequacy of social science study to prepare youth
for democracy or for world understanding, (b) inadequacy of funds for
education at all levels, and (c) the inability of colleges and universit:
to provide a sound, well-rounded education for the large enrollments of
today.
Dr. Parker declared that the social sciences have not kept up with
technology and the physical sciences, and expressed the opinion that
students in both high school and colle ,e should be encouraged to
understand and appreciate the advantages of democracy, ''without, of couri
losing the objective point of view," he said.
He pointed out that the nation1 s liquor bill is almost twice as
high as that for education, and that the country spends as much for
cosmetics as it spends on education at all levels, from the kindergarten
through the university.
He reminded the audience that at the time of the last war, 4 per
cent of the young people of college age in this country were attending
(more)

college, while in 1940 16 per cent of the college-age youth were in
college.
Today more than two million students are attending college, and the
commission estimates that approximately 4,600,000 students should be
in college by i960.
This means larger and better facilities must be provided, Dr. Parke:
declared,
;.He urged that colleges and universities face squarely the fact
that they c annot do as ;ood a job of educating young people with the
large classes and overcrowded laboratories of today, rather than
rationalizing about the somewhat questionable advantages of large classe-
At the conclusion of President Parker's address, the AhUP chapter

Carbondale, 111., May - Now showing in Southern's Little Gallery
is an arresting exhibition of paintings tn, six students at Southern
Illinois University. The show will run until June 1.
For five of the painters, who are now exhibiting, the current show
represents the culmination of four years' training as majors in art.
Kinuye Jitodai of Seattle, Wash., James Nettleton of Jonesboro, Clarence
Ball and Norma Henderson of Carbondale, and William Moss of Golconda are
all seniors who expect to graduate in June or hu^ust. Jane Wallace of
Marion is a sophomore.
The five works of Moss are perhaps the most mature, accorain^ to
Hiss Emily Farnham, associate professor of art. They reveal considerable
technical facility, controlled complexity of composition anu color
subtlety. "Ozc;rk Woman" is representative of these techniques. His
four matted oils underscore his subtlety of color and ability to achieve
a tonal unity.
Miss Henderson's "Enchanted Place," the more successful of her two
canvases, has discovered a successful idiom for personal expression.
The"Jerry Anderson"by Ball is a traditional portrait easily
understood by the layman. His three other works may be classified as
surrealism, expressionism, and non-objectivism.
The four paintings by Nettleton reveal this painter to be capable
of sudden change from the dark-light contrast of "Seascape" and "Sudden
Sunlight'' to the non-objectivity of "Atomic Aftermath".
Miss Jitodai is exhibiting her surrealist "Sculpture by the Sea,"
a large landscape, "Mystery City", and a traditional figure painting
called "The Orange Skirt."
Miss Wallace is showing the unusual expressionist, ''The Omen of the
Shell/' "Green Turban above Turquoise Eyes," a portrait, and a non-
objective "The Spirit of Music."

Carbondale, 111,, May -The first map ever made of the
chromosomes of the yeast cell was ^resented by Dr. Carl L. Lindeeren,
Southern Illinois University geneticist, at the recent meeting in
Minneapolis of the Society of American Bacteriologists.
Dr. Lindegren, director of Southern1 s new biological science resesrc
laboratory, displayed drawings of five of the six chromosomes found in
the yeast cell.
Explaining his paper in non-technical language, Dr. Lindegren
pointed out that a chromosome is something like a r>iece of string, and
that genes--the hereditary particles that transmit characteristics from
one generation to the next--are places, shown as dots, alone; this string.
His map of the five chromosomes actually looks something like a
musical scale, with the dots for certain genes or hereditary characterist
standing for the notes on the scale.
Dr. Lindegren's paper before the bacteriological society dealt with
the ability of the yeast cell to ferment sucrose( sugar ) , but he said
he is unable to locate the dot on the chromosome scale which represents
this hereditary characteristic.
"You can only map the characteristics when they appear from
generation to generation with Mendelian regularity- -that is, according
to the Mendalian lav/ of inheritance," he explained.
(More)
..
! •-■
-2-
"The trouble is, in our laboratory here at Southern, we have found
that the sugar-fermentating gene doesn't behave properly. It doesn't
occur in accordance with the Mendelian lav/. There is an inconsistency,
and until we can arrive at a consistent pattern of recurrence, we can't
map the characteristic*'.'
On his chromosome map, the chromosomes are numbered from 1 to 5> and
each chromosome is marked off in units—known as morgans --from one to
30. The first gene or characteristic shown on the map is the palactose-
fermentinpr ability, which he has located four units from the left end of
Chromosome No. 1. The sex-determining factor he has located on
Chromosome No. 3, 22 units from the left end.
The trouble he is havins in reg^ing the location of the sucrose-
fermenting ability on the chromosome is adding further convincing
evidence to Dr. Lindegren's recently advanced theory that the eene is
not as stable or invariable as geneticists have lonp- considered it.
He has voiced the first dissent in some two or three decades from
the commonly accented theory of the gene as a constant narticle,
unchanged from generation to generation.
The fact that he has been able to work out a "pedigree" for the
sugar-fermenting characteristic of ^^east, but has not been able to nin
it down to any regular pattern of behavior in hybrid yeasts adds
substantiation to his new theory.

Carbondale, 111., May - The outstanding Southern Illinois track
and field meet of 194$ will begin at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, May 22, when

Five colleges and universities - Southern Illinois University,
Illinois State Normal University, Western Illinois State College,
Eastern Illinois State College, and Northern Illinois State Teachers
College - will battle for the coveted I. I. h. C. crown.
Northern, the defending champion, is favored to win again, with
Southern getting second nod. Northern has better times in most events
than the Maroons of Coach Leland P. ''Doc1' Lingle, but good balance in
the Southern squad, which will probably result in a number of second,
third, and fourth place point winners, may make it possible for the
Maroons to pull an upset.

Annual Spring Carnival Midway Show. Candidates for Miss Southern who
is bein^ chosen in connection with the carnival, will appear at the trac!

Carbondale, 111., June - When they lost their final game to
Eastern Illinois State College at Charleston last Saturday by a score of
9 to 2, the Southern Illinois University baseball Maroons closed their
19A-S season with a record of four wins against nine losses.
Bill Bleyer of Carterville, second baseman, was elected as the
;iMost-Valuablew player by his teammates at the condlusion of the season.
Bleyer was a left-handed power-hitter who batted well over .300 and was
one of Southern's most dependable defensive infielders, performing
brilliantly as the pivot man on numerous double-plays.

Carbondale, 111., June - It was erroneously reported that

Carbondale, 111., June - All Southern Illinois University athletic
letterrnen for the 1947-4$ school year have been invited to be the guests
of the Carbondale Business Association at a banquet Monday, June 7, at
6:30 p.m. at the University Cafeteria.
Each year the Carbondale Business men give this banquet to Maroon
athletes. Centralia high school Coach Arthur L. Trout, the dean of
Illinois high school coaches, will deliver the principal address. The
occasion will also be high- lighted by the selection of the man to receive
the H enry Hinkley Memorial nward as the outstanding Maroon athlete of
the year.
This award was established by Nu Epsilon Alpha Fraternity in memory
I of Henry Hinkley of Alma, a fraternity member and former football star
who was killed in service. The man receiving this honor is chosen by
a vote of Southern letter-winners at the banquet.
Speculation about who will be chosen as the outstanding athlete is
often inaccurate. Last year C^uentin Stinson of Eldorado won the honor,
and since there is no restriction about winning the award more than
once, he is a possible two-time selection.
Other possibilities are Bob Colborn of Flora and Joe Hughes of West
Frankfort. A number of other men who have competed in two and three
sports are also possible winners.

Carbondale, 111., June - Though the farmer today possesses a
financial advantage over the factory worker and other non-agricultural
producer, it should be remembered he may be the first to suffer in the
event of a depression, a Southern Illinois University economics student
declared in a recent radio broadcast.
The class in business cycles, conducted by Dr. Lewis a, Maverick,
professor of economics, recently produced a radio program over Station
WCIL, reporting on current conditions in business.
Albert Kelly of Coultervilie, who analyzed farm prices, advised the
farmer to prepare for falling prices in the next four or five years-
sunless there is another war.1?
Kelly showed that farm prices today are much the same in relation
to net income as they were in 1920, "which was at the peak of the
inflation of the first world war," he said.
"When we compare farm prices of 194$ to those of 1940, just before
the outbreak of World War II, we find they are about 3 3/4 times higher
today, while costs have only doubled," he said.
He stressed that the relation of post-war income to post-war costs
!!is the factor that determines whether or not the farmer is making an
increased net income.1'
-
;,0f course distribution costs of living are increased today.
Nevertheless, the farmer is at a disadvantage over the factory worker and
(more)
-2-
other non-agricultural producers in periods of slowly rising prices due
to inflation."
Kelly reminded the radio audience that the farmer was the first to
feel the depression after the first v.orld war, and predicted that he
might also be the first to suffer if a depression occurs after World
War II.
"As long as there is a high demand for farm products both in foreign
countries and in the United States, the farmers will not suffer, " he said.
"But when there develops a lack of demand for farm produce, at today1,
high costs, the farmers will lose heavily.
"Undoubtedly the world cannot continue to consume in increasing
quantities, and without paying for its purchases, therefore, the farmer
should prepare for falling prices within the next four or five years,
unless inflation is aggrevated still further by another war.
"Another war would probably reduce our dollar to about 10 cents in
purchasing power," he added.

distinction of housing in its belfry the only large colony of bats in
the Middle West, according to University of Indiana Medical. School
researchers.
Two professors from the Indiana Medical School, Dr. Paul Nicoll and
Dr. Richard L. Webb, recently visited the Southern campus to collect
specimens of the bats for laboratory investigations.
They are making a study of the circulatory system in the batTs wings,
and hope to breed their own supply of the winged mammals.
On their recent visit here, they considered themselves fortunate to

Carbondale, 111., June 7 - In urging the development of a new
concept of politics and a new type of leadership for the United States,
a distinguished educator Sunday night told members of Southern Illinois
University's graduating class that we have virtually "a sit-down strike
on good citizenship."
Dr. Homer Price Rainey, president of Stephens College and an
ordained Raptist minister, in delivering the baccalaureate address to
the Southern seniors, deplored the fact that "we almost have a national
slogan — tion't stick your neck out'1'.
The United States, he declared, rates as the No. 1 nation in the
world — economically, militarily, and politically,
"The time of our glory has arrived," he said. "History tells us
that no nation has maintained its pre-eminence indefinitely. If we are
to maintain our greatness and prolong our pre-eminence, we must recognize
the moral and spiritual obligation to use that leadership wisely.
"We are being challenged by Russia," he said. "Our young people
are in competition with the youth of Russia, who outnumber our youth
four to one.
"We must make up that imbalance in numbers by other factors," he
insisted.
Russia is saying the great capitalistic democracies have failed —
"Xou know their line of propaganda as well as I" — the speaker reminded.

Ee pointed out that democracy is caught between communism and fascist.
"I can''t see why anyone should be fearful that either can triumph
over democracy,1' he said, "for I can!t see what either has to offer
the people of the world that is comparable to our Christianity and our
democracy, if we will only make them work."
Citing that more than half the people of the world are today living
on below-starvation diets and that 52 per cent can neither read nor writ<
Dr. Rainey declared that "the world is calling on us to make good on our
promises."
"Our nation has had a moral purpose since its founding — a purpose
that has been expressed and re-expressed in documents and by our leaders
many times," he said.
"We are the moral champions of the underprivileged people — not just
of the United States, but of the world."
To retain its greatness, the United states must strengthen the mora,
and spiritual responsibility of its leadership, the speaker declared,
and listed several things that must "go into our training."
These, he said include: (1) development of a wise use of our power:
(2) a new concept of education — "werve got to think in world terms";
(3) a new concept of politics--"politics ought to be our highest social
art, drawing men and women of intelligence, integrity, character and
leadership"; and (1+) a new type of leadership.
"I sense that a great fear has gripped the American public," he saic
"Why, at the time pf our greatest power, should we be confused and
fearful and uncertain about what we believe in and about the way we shoul
go?" he asked.
(More)
'

"lt can result in tragedy unless we can get hold of a great faith,
some strong affirmations. Otherwise we shall fail the people of the
world and ourselves as well."
Dr. Rainey spoke at the vesper baccalaureate service Sunday evening.
The invocation was delivered by Phillip Harris, national superintendent
of Young People's Work for the Southern Baptist Convention, Nashville ,
Tenn. , while the benediction was given by the Rev. H.T. Rafnel,
representing the Murphysboro Ministerial Association. University Presidf
Chester F. Lay introduced the guest speaker, Dr. Rainey.
Senior Week activities at Southern will continue through the current
week, culminating with the commencement exercises on Friday morning, at
9:30 a.m., when Dr. John A. Stevenson, president of Penn Mutual Life
Insurance Company, will deliver the commencement address.

Carbondale, 111., June 11 -"We must learn to think internationally
if we are to solve the major political problems of today," Dr. John A.
Stevenson, president of the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company, today
told the 194$ graduating class of Southern Illinois University/- here this
morning.
A native of Cobden, 111., and a graduate of Southern's 1905ttwo-
year class, Dr. Stevenson was presented to the graduates, their parents
and friends by University President Chester F, Lay.
"Just as the leaders in history found it necessary to educate the
people to think beyond the confines of their own communities," he said,
"so the leaders of today must helr> the peoole to realize that we cannot
confine our thinking to the boundaries of the United States."
Fointing to "new standards, new methods end new discoveries," he
called attention to the vast advances that have taken place in the space
of a few generations.
"We have witnessed an almost fantastic increase in the speed of
travel and of communications, and our laboratories are seething with new
products which are being translated into new jobs and new opportunities,'
he said.
"Future historians will discuss our activities under a new chapter
heading--1 The Atomic J? erf* . ' "
("ore)
—
_.

He deplored the fact that "at the outset of this Atomic Age,
advancements in technology had far outstepped our social end political
progress ,"
Future historians, he predicted, nwill be compelled to state that",
in spite of the ideal of a new world order as set forth in the Charter
of the United Nations, international transactions far too often were
carried on according to rules taken from heirloom editions of 'Power
Politics. Ti'
He called attention to great strides in agricultural progress and
in the science of nutrition, while at the same time "the illustrations
for the Atomic Age chapter will show groups of starving children in
various portions of the globe."
v?If the authors use newspapers as source material, the footnotes to
the chapter will refer not to articles about 'Peace in our timeT but to
articles about new methods of warfare which might annihilate the human
race," he declared.
Social thinking and political ideals must be synchronized with
scientific knowledge and technological progress if "this chapter in
world history is to end with a record of tangible contributions to the
welfare of mankind rather than with the story of how our form of
civilization was destroyed," Stevenson asserted.

Carbondale, 111., June - "Many people in West Virginia opposed
reorganized schools at first, but now almost no one would go back to
the old system if they could," Olin C. Nutter, W. Va. educator, told
Southern Illinois teachers and school board members in the opening
session of the three-day Reorganization Conference being held at
Southern Illinois University.
Mr. Nutter explained that the suddenness of the reorganization in
West Virginia that came as a result of a legislative act in 1933, which
abolished every school district in the state and created county districts
caused a great deal of confusion. He along with other educators, greatl)
opposed the plan, but soon found it to be sound and the benefits of more
equipment and better school buildings to be well worthwhile,
"In our system, i! Mr.- Nutter said, "the county is the unit of school
administration and is controlled by a board elected by the people.
These larger and more efficient districts have received far more liberal
monetary appropriations than the previous small inefficient magistrate
districts."
"Larger appropriations have meant additional funds for buildings,
salaries, free textbooks in the elementary schools, and for the addition
of vocational training and fine arts to the curriculum," he continued.
We have been able to provide full-time doctors, dentists, and nurses to
minister the health needs of our pupils."
These benefits of reorganization were brought out by Mr. Nutter in
the first general session of the conference.
a special session for county superintendents will be held Friday,
at which time Mr. Nutter will a ct as consultant.
