the thermometer climbed from 47 degrees to 96 in June, as compared to a high
of 34 and a low of 43 in May, and 91 and 48 respective!*/ in June a. 3rear ago.

Rainjfefal.1 3ie::e on the University campus^ totaled only 1.19 inches, a fourth
as much as in Kay and about a tenth of the June, 1945, precipitation. In May
4.85 inches of rain fell here while in June a year ago the rainfall totaled
11.24 inches.

The University weather station, directed by Dr. Thomas F. Da,rton, professor
of geography j takes weather observations every six hours, filing them with the
U. S. Weather Bureau for 'immediate distribution to airports all over the country,
Although a network of such v/eather stations is spread all over Illinois, this is
one of about a half dozen in the state which takes six— hour readings.

"We are a 'sending' station, not a 'receiving1 one," Dr. Barton explained,
"so our reports show the v/eather conditions right here on the campus.

"It is likely that our temperature readin s correspond fairly well with
those for a substantial section of Southern Illinois, but the rainfall may vary
from light showers in one locality to a heavy downpour a few miles away."

Carbondale, 111., July - The Southern Illinois Normal University All-Stars
took it on the chin from the Alton Onlzed nine "by a score of 6 to 3 on the
loser's diamond here Saturday, June 29. The winners garnered eight hits off the
offerings of Edwards, the losing hurler, while the locals touched Lester, the
Alton twirl or, for only five.

The All-Stars were made up of a group of the University's intramural
players who were selected "by the captains of the intramural squads. This contest
marked the first of the season for the All-Stars.

Alton's big gun was Lovo Dallape, former basket ball star, who rapped two
of his team's eight hits and scored two of their tallies. For Southern, Salmons
connected twice, driving out two doubles.

The contest started off as a slugfest, with Alton counting tiro runs in the
first half of the initial inning and Southern Baras roaring back with three runs
in the home half of the first, but both pitchers settled down after that and
runs were scarce.

Edwards was touched for two in the third and two more in the seventh, but
Lester had evidently found the right combination as he shut the door in the
face of the Southerners for the remainder of the game.

Edwards walked one and struck out one, while Lester fanned seven and gave only
one. nan free transportation.

Carbondale, 111., July -There are approximately 1,500 crippled
children in the 16 counties of Southern Illinois, Miss Grace Borah,
of Mt. Vernon, district orthopedic nursing consultant of the
University of Illinois Division of Services for Crippled Children,
told a Southern Illinois Normal University Health Education Workshop
here Tuesday.

Miss Borah pointed out that four out of each 1,000 children are
crippled, and only one of the four shows up at the crippled children's
clinics for diagnosis and treatment.

She declared that teachers and nurses are not exerting enough
care to encourage parents to bring crippled children to the clinics.

Among the cases brought to the Southern Illinois clinics at
Mt. Vernon, Shawnee town and Cairo are children with cleft plates,
hearing difficulties, epilepsy, rheumatic fever, heart ailments, etc.

Miss Borah was one of several experts in the care of handicapped
children brought to work with the students in the Workshop during the
first three days of this week.

The others were Miss Jeannette Frasier, supervisor of speech and
hearing rehabilitation of the University of Illinois Division of
Services for Crippled Children; Miss Martha Black from the State Office
of Public Instruction; and Mrs. Jewell Hopkins of the Carbondale
public schools, who with her class presented a demonstration of
corrective techniques for speech defects.

Mss Frasier attributed the majority of speech defects to the
following causes: poor speech models (in the family), poor teaching
methods; bi-lingualism in the home; efforts to change left-handed
children to right-handed ones; emotional difficulties; ill health;
hearing deficiencies; mental deficiencies; short span of memory;
organic mal- format ions of lips, mouth, teeth, throat, nose;
accidents and injuries; aphasia caused by injury to the brain;
endocrine disturbances; poor motor coordination.

She said that the commonest types of speech defects are: poor
art ic ulation- -about #5 per cent of all defects found in school
children are due to poor articulation; cleft palate, lack of
muscular coordination, stuttering and hearing losses.

She urged the use of state services for remedial treatment
and the development of community and parental recognition of the
need for such treatment.

kiss Black described the processes by which counties and
schools may obtain the services of state agencies in the care
of handicapped children.

The Health Education Workshop, one of the two being conducted
in the State of Illinois this summer by the U. S. Office of
Public Health and the State Department of Public Health, has
brought more than 50 school teachers of Southern Illinois here on
$100 scholarships to study health education methods.

Administrators from 34 Southern Illinois counties will attend
the last three days of the workshop session next week, with
expenses paid by the State Department of Public Health. All
county superintendents of the 34 counties are invited and 45 city
superintendents, high school principals and elementary school
principals.

Carbondale, 111., July --Many rare "books once owned by Dr. Delia Caldwell »
former physiciaa at Southern Illinois Normal University, are now located in the
University's Clint Clay Tilton library here, according to Dean E. G. Lentz,
director.

Dean Lentz made a visit to the Caldwell home in Carbondale about two weeks
ago to obtain some documents concerning early history of Southern, and was
surprised and pleased to be told that he could take any of Dr. Caldwell' s books
that he might wish to. He accepted approximately 96 books and pamphlets.

Three volumes of which he is especially proud are illustrated by Gustave
Dore, who also illustrated Dante's Inferno. The:7 are Edgar Allen Poe's The,
Rrven, a huge volume; a copy of The Wandering Jew: and The Fables of Jean de
la Fontaine . translated into English verse by Walter Thorn sbury, a limited
edition.

A curiosity is !The Schoolmaster' s Assistant by Thomas Dilworth, a volume
published in 1812 with title page bearing the legend," containing a compendious
system of practical guaring. "

McGuffey's Third Reader, an early edition, is there, as is an 1810 edition
of Thompson' s The Seasons.

Dr. Caldwell's diploma of her graduation from Southern Illinois Normal
University, dated 1878, is singularly interesting and is also of historical
significance. It states that she was graduated from the "classical" courset
a few of the requirements af, which were study of astronomyi advanced mathematics,
three years of Latin, two years of Greek. At that time students entered
Southern from the eight grade, since there were very few high schools in Southern
Illinois.

A CTuhe 13, 1878, copy of the Carbondale Observer gives the names of the
graduating class of that year.

Dr. Caldwell's posthumous gift is the most recent addition to the Clint
Clay Tilton library. Mr. Tilton, 76, retired Danville newspaperman, died at
his home in Danville recently. He made the gift of his library — some 2,000
volumes— to Southern in October, 1944. Also included were 20 sectional
bookcases, many uictures, plaques, and busts.

Carbondale, 111., July — Friendship and cooperation of Latin America is worth
hundreds of million dollars to the United States in time of war, and an incalculable
amount in times of peace, a Southern Illinois Normal University professor told the
Carbondale Businessmen' s Association here this week.

Dr. Robert D. McNicoll, new associate professor of Latin-American history at
the University, pointed out that Latin America is struggling to feel its way toward
development of its vast natural resources and toward political maturity, and that
it is up to the United States to convince its people that our democratic way of
life is adaptable for Latin America.

"Why is Latin America important to us?" he asked. "Because in our growing
concept of 'one world,' Latin America is the section of the world that is closest
to us,

"It has an area three times the size of the United States, a population roughly
corresponding to our own, more unexploited natural resources than any other
territory' in the world,

"Will it be the United States — its economic, political and cultural thinking —
that will dominate this vast region, or some other country?"

Latin America wants to develop its natural resources, ho declared, and see its
own people benefit from those resources. It wants to get out of the rut of a
"colonial economy", in which its chief products — coffee and cocoa — are subject to
the fluctuations of a world market over which Latin America has no control. It
wants to "come of age 'politically."

Latin America wants the United' Statos to lend the money for this development,
but not at the expense of a "lien of its future." Dr. McNicoll explained that by
this he meant that Latin America wants the money on such long-range terms that its
repayment will not disrupt the new development just as they are getting started.

Latin America wants people from the United States to co.'e to Latin America,
"but not as visitors," investing money in Latin-American enterprises, making a
quick fortune, then taking that fortune out of the country.

The factors that make it hard for Latin America to "got .along" with the United
States, he caid, are:

(l) "They don't know enough about us." They think North Americans are money-
grubbers, and have no culture. North Americans who visit Latin America usually
cannot speak Spanish, and cannot address groups of Latin-American intellectual

and business leaders,

(over)

-2-

(2) Our cultures are different. That of Latin America stems from Europe, from
France and Spain. Latin Americans arc not familiar with our background, nor arc
we with theirs.

The United States wants from Latin America: (l) their friendship and *
understanding; (2) their admiration and liking for the democratic way of life,
which, Dr. McNicoll pointed out, "we honestly "believe is the best system in the
world for the common man"; (3) their trade.

"Latin America as a whole is not yet entirely friendly to the United States,"
the historian coutioned. "The people arc not yet convinced that our way of life —
the democratic way — is a way that is applicable to Latin America.

" Our people haven't sent leaders there who can make themselves felt and
understood by the Latin-Americans as other countries have."

To attain Latin America's friendship, her conversion to the democratic wRy of
life, and her trade, Dr. McHicoll advocated the exchange of students, professors,
newspaper men, writers, and other leaders — but particularly students.

"Every student who comes to North America for his education is a center for
the spread of North American culture and ideas when he returns home," he asserted.
"It would cost less to bring 1,000 students from Latin America to study here than
it would to build one battleship."

(Recently District 149 of Rotary International established a scholarship fund
to bring students from Latin American countries to Southern Illinois Normal
University.)

"The Latin-American people are trying to feel their way toward 'eraocracy,"
he concluded. "It's up to us to help them, to give them every change to understand

the American way of life — and they will respond."

Carbondale, 111.* July 10 -Safety is the No. 1 objective of the Federal
government's promotional and regulatory activities for civil aviation, Horace
Gilbert, educational consultant for the Civil Aeronautics Administration, told
Southern Illinois school administrators and teachers here today.

Gilbert was one of the opening speakers at a three-day Aviation Education
Conference jointly sponsored by the C.A.A. and the College of Education at
Southern Illinois Normal University.

The conference was opened this morning as conferees wore welcomod by
University President Chester F. Lay.

Dr. E. R. Fair, dean of the University College of Education, spoke briefly on
the purposes of the conference, designed to acquaint teachers and school
administrators with the opportunities for incorporating aviation in the school's
instructional program.

Ward N. Black, assistant superintendent of public instruction, addressed
the conference on "Education for the Air Ago."

Gilbert reported that by 1940 there was a total of 1,824 airports of all
types in this country, "while today there are 4,028."

"We no\<t have 35,651 miles of lighted airways, making a veritable network of air
highways all over our land," he explained, "and 3,839 additional miles arc now
under construction*"

He explained that two Federal agencies— the Civil Aeronautics Administration
and the Civil Aeronautics Board — carry out the government's promotion and

(more)

regulation of civil aviation.

"The Board is concerned principally with economic regulation, the formation
of safety regulations, and the investigations of all accidents to civil aircraft,"
he pointed out,

"The Civil Aeronautics Administration primarily is an operating agency and
is a "branch of the Department of Commerce

"The CAA operates seven main services: Federal Airways, Airports, Safety
Regulations, Aviation Information Field Operations, Business Management and
Aviation Training, in addition to the Washington National Airport and, the
Standardization Center at Houston, Texas."

Through the Office of Aviation Training, the CAA assists the states with
their "air age" programs "by helping to conduct such conferences as the one
currently under way at Southern.

It also carries on an Inter-American training program, bringing promising
young men from Central and South America to the United States, training them to
he pilots, mechanics, air-control operators, etc.

The aviation education conference will continue through Thursday and Friday.
On Thursday, two addresses will he given by Roy Mertes, associate director of the
school and college service of United Airlines, one on "The Influence of Air
Transportation on our Economy" at the student assembly hour Thursday morning at
10 o'clock, the other at a dinner session on "Social-Economic Implications of
Aviation Progress."

Demonstrations of Army Air Forces training adds will be given during the
morning, and in the afternoon group discussions will take place on aviation in
the classroom.

On Friday the conference will move to East St. Louis, to spend the day at
the Parks Air College.

Carbondale, 111., July 11 -"The nations of the world are closer than were the
thirteen original American colonies—thanks to modern air transportation," said Ray 0.
Bertes, associate director of school and college service for United Air Linesf during
the second day of the Aviation Education Conference being hold at Southern Illinois
Normal University.

Mertes was one of several speakers at the conference which is jointly sponsored
by the Civil Aeronautics Administration, and the College of Education at Southern.
The three-day affair opened Wednesday, July 10, and will continue through Friday,
when the group will travel to East St. Louis to spend the day at the Parks Air College

"It is necessary that we build over 3,000 new airports and improve over 1,600 of
the existing ports to handle the projected air traffic of the future and to realize
the goal of having every city of 5,000 population or over enjoying air facilities,"
he said in his talk on "Social and Economic Implications of Aviation Progress."

Mertes also spoke to the student assembly this morning at 10 o'clock.

He pointed out that the world is growing smaller. In Ptolemy's time— 150 A.D. ,
the entire known world was the Mediterranean ocean. How, be'eause of the airplane,
the world is again about the size of that ocean in terms of travel time. But
because of this shrinkage, our social, political, and economic problems have
increased many times, and the man from Europe, Asoa, Africa, and Australia is now
out backyard neighbor."

During the first day of the conference, Ward N. Black* assistant superintendent
of public instruction, spoko on "Education for the Air Age," in which he discussed
both the aims of education for the air age and the reasons why aviation education
is important now.

"If children are going to live in an air world, they should have a xerogram of

education that is appropriate for an air world," he said. "The success of any program

for the schools of tomorrow will depend to a very groat extent upon coordination of
action on the part of the social, economic, cducationa,l political, and spiritual
forces of each community." # # #

The first thoater was not established in Chicago until 1837, although the
first circus visited there a year earlier. The first impresario was Henry (or
Harry Isherwood, who opened his theater in October, 1837, probably offering
"The Stranger" as the first play. The following spring he began construction of
a permanent theatrical h^use, variously called the Rial to, the Chicago, the

LORENA DRUMMOND, ED.

Carbondale, 111., July 22 - A veterans housing project to
' accommodate 105 student veterans and their families, will be erected
on West Chautauqua Street, a short distance from the campus of
Southern Illinois Normal University, University President Chester F.
Lay announced today.

Contract has been signed by University and state officials with
the Federal Public Housing Authority to set up the emergency housing
project, and steps are being carried forward by the State Department
of Architecture and Engineering to award site preparation contracts
immediately.

The contract with the FPHA, President Lay explained, calls -for
bringing in 35 -..barracks each 100 feet in size and each to be
converted into three apartments, a total of 105.

The University is responsible for providing water, gas, sewage,
and electrical facilities, as well as roads and walks, which are
estimated to cost $34,200. Toward, this expense, the FPEh will
contribute $5,250.

In addition, the University will maintain and operate the
project.

The FPHA will assume costs of dismounting -the barracks at their
present location, transporting them to Carbondale, and re-erecting
them. The FPHA. will also pay for certain site improvement costs and
contractual expenses. Total costs of the project to the Federal
government are estimated at approximately $262,000.

The housing project here embraces S5 family housing units
allocated by the FPHa to the University for veteran student families,
plus 20 units allocated to the city of Carbondale and transferred
with FPHa consent by Carbondale to the University. The latter 20 may
be used by the University to house either faculty veterans or student
veterans, Dr. Lay pointed out. Faculty housing is also critical, and
unless additional faculty can be secured the instruction for incoming
veterans may be hampered.

Each of the apartments in the project will provide two bedrooms
with a closed in e^h, a kitchenette, dining-living room, a linen

^^MM

closet and bath. Each will be heated by gas and have electricity,
and hot and cold water.

Furnishings for the apartments will be supplied by the University,
largely by surplus material s from the FPHa.

Site of the new housing project is jus t_ west of the University
campus, at the intersection of Lake and West Chautauqua streets and
adjacent to the University baseball field.

This project is one which President Lay and other University
authorities have been working on for many months. Last January the
University first filed application for emergency housing with the FPHa,
as soon as the State Teachers College Board gave its approval to the
enterprise.

First approval from the FPHa came for 55 family housing units,
and subsequent allotments brought the University1 s total to 189, plus
the 20 from the City of Carbondale, a grand total of 209.

It was stipulated by the Federal government that housing units
allotted to an educational institution must be located at any military
or government pro jectwithin25 miles of the campus, if such project
had been declared surplus. This meant that the housing units allotted
to the University must be located at the Illinois Ordnance Plant at
Crab Orchard, which is only about 12 miles from the campus.

Later developments revealed considerable doubt as to what parts
of the Illinois ordnance plant will- be declared surplus. Moreover,
family housing units totaling only approximately 104 could be
provided at the ordnance plant, and permission was finally given to
locate the remainder of the University's 209 units here in Carbondale,
Dr. Lay explained.

Negotiations are still going forward in connection with efforts
to secure 104 family housing units and dormitory accommodations for
306 single student veterans at the ordnance plant.

University officials declined to commit themselves as to just
when the Chautauqua Street housing project would be avcilable for
occupancy, but said that awarding of contracts is being pushed forward
with all dispatch.

at the Southern Illinois Normal University, Dr. Eugene R. Fair, dean of

the college, has announced.

■

These courses, which give credit toward College of Education

as a teacher, and qualifying for part-time service in the school
library by having compltt^d eight semester hours of library science,"
Mr. Bosley said.

books to fit the needs of individual pupils, the guidance and
development of pupil reading interests, and the ability to select books ,
audio-visual materials, etc., necessary in the integrated use of the

Carbondale, 111., Sept. — A plea that Southern Illinois Normal University
students — 2,570 strong — will accept the hardships of over-crowding in good spirit
was voiced at the first student assembly of the l9':6-47 session "by Gen. Robert
W. Davis of Carbondale, member of the State Teachers College Board.

General Davis sr>oke as a member of the board' s advisorTT committee for
Southern, which works in close cooperation with the University administration.

He referred particularly to crowded classrooms, shortage of books at the
bookstore, food shortages, and difficulties in finding adequate housing.

"With the largest enrollment in the University's history, the accommodations
here are taxed far beyond their normal load," he explained.

"You may ask why the University did not foresee this vast increase in
enrollment, and prepare for it.

"As a matter of fact, the University administration — ^resident Lay (Dr.
Chester i1. Lay, president of the University) and other University officials — and
the board itself did foresee the demands that would be made on Southern as well
as on other colleges and universities throughout the country.

''Every effort humanly possible has been made by the University and the board
to mrke it possible for you to attend Southern* Appropriation of four and two-
thirds million dollars for post-war expansion here at Scathe *n was secured
from the last general assembly. The money is available — but it is literally
impossible to obtain building materials.

"We can't get additional "books for you, "because of the critical naper
shortage. We can't get additional chairs for your classrooms because of the
critical shortage of lumber and other materials,

"We have made every conceivable effort to obtain emergency housing. As you
doubtless know, construction is under, way on 105 apartments out on Chautauqua
Street, w»3t of the camous, to be used for married veterans. This project was
obtained by the University through the Federal Public Housing Authority.

"It will not be ready for occupanc as quickly as we had hoped, for we are
being held up' on priorities for essential materials such as water pipelines*
electric lines, etc.

"But University officials have called on the citizens of Carbondale sad
nearby towns to help meet the housing shortage* by converting all their spare rooms,
garages, attics and basements into student accommodations.

"The University has added some 35 faculty members this fall, to help furnish
instruction for you, and is still adding more as rapidly as personnel can be
found. Hew class sections have been added, to &olp "ou get the courses you want,
as far as possible. Faculty members are teaching longer hours, and the classrooms
are in use from 8 o' clock in the morning until 6 in the evening, and often at night.

"So let me assure you that all of us have done everything that could possibly

i
he done to accommodate this big enrollment.

"Won't you, for -cur part- take the inconveniences and disconforts with a

minimum of griping? Be good sports about it, and realize that as rare idly as other

step? can be taken to make the situation better, the Uhivtrs'.ty administration

and the board will take them.

"Southern has a wonderful future ahead of it, and you students will in the
years to come have the opportunity of contributing much to its progress and

Carbondale, 111., Sept. - Several outstanding grid stars who

formerly
/flashed on Southern Illinois high school football fields \& vr; -;,'■**'-'

are expected to report for practice this fall here at Southern

Illinois Normal University, Coach Glenn ("Abe") Martin., has revealed.

Southern's practice season will start Monday, Sept. 9, a week
before the opening of school, with the first ^ame called for Sept. 2#,
against Kirksville (Mo.) Teachers College.

Among the new talent Martin looks for will be "Shag" Crouch,
who played high school football for Community High here in Carbondale
and later played a year at the University of Kentucky. The 245-pound
Crouch is enrolling at Southern this fall, and Martin rubs his hands
with satisfaction as he talks about this prize.

A 200-pounder from Fairfield, the coach's old home town, is
another experienced husky whose acquisition pleases Martin. Bob
Ethridge is his name. He went into the Air Corps from high school :.
and lettered three years ago with the Iowa Sea Hawks (pre-flight ) .
Martin doesn't yet know whether he'll put Ethridge in the guard spot
or at tackle.

Martin is counting up about 50 candidates who've indicated
they'll show up for practice next Monday, including several lettermen
from last year's conference runner-up team, as well as about a dozen
veterans who lettered in former years.

Southern's schedule this year is as follows, with game time for
home games moved up to 2:30, instead of the customary 2 o'clock:
Sept. 2$, Kirksville, here j Oct, 5, Cape Girardeau, here; Oct. 12,
Normal, at Normal; Oct. 19, Arkansas State here; Oct. 26, Western,
at Macomb; Nov. 2, Eastern, here (Southern's Homecoming; Nov. 9|
Evansville (Ind.) College, at Evansville; Nov. 16, Northern, here.

Carbondale, 111., Sept. -To see what Iowa has done with worn-out tonant-run
farms, three Southern Illinois Normal University faculty members took a 1,000-mile
swing through the neighboring state during the first few days of September — a
jaint that may have far-reaching benefits for Southern Illinois agriculture.

Dr. Henry J. Rehn, dean of the College of Vocations and Professions, Dr.
R. C. Cassell, professor and chairman of the agriculture department, and Irving
Peithman, manager of the University Parr.., made the four-day trip.

They visited nine farms owned by a foundation of the State College of Iowa
and operated by tenant farmers.

"It was exciting to see what has been done in the last eight years, since the
foundation took over the farms, to rehabilitate thorn," Dean Rehn roportod.

"They were so dilapidated and worn out that the tenants who operated them
previously had been losing more money year by year. Now all are making money, not
only for the foundation but also for the tenants."

The Iowa State College project came as a result of the gift to the college
of the nine run-down farms plus a $100,000 cash endowment from an investment
concern which had acquired the farms through foreclosure and failed to make them
pay.

Object of the enterprise has been to rehabilitate the farms and make them
productive enough to support families.

"The process has been slow," Dean Rehn pointed out, "first because of the
suspicion with which the tenants and surrounding farmers regarded the 'long-haired
professors' from the college.

"They naturally felt that the college would sink great sums of money into
building up 'show places' which would utilize impractical methods and equipment.

"But they have found that the college has followed a policy of spending only
small sums similar to those which practical farmers could afford to spend. The
idea has boon to carry out improvements that aro within roach of tho farmer noxt
door.

"They found out that the foundation director, W. V. Wallace, had no intention
of didtating to the tenant what he should do, but only of suggesting and working

with him. In each improvement undertaken, the tenant himself had to pay half the
cost» so it was up to him to make the final decision as to what should "be done."

The first farm the Southern Illinois men visited was a 160-acro combined
dairy- and hog- farm, once pockmarked with deep gulleys, eroded, the soil virtually
worthless. Under the Iowa State College management, the gulleys wore filled,
erosion w s stopped, the land was treated with lime and phosphate. Now excellent
corn grows on land that was abandoned as farm land 25 years ago.

The tenant himself "became interested in improving the looks of the farm, and
has planted shrubs, built sheds, remodeled barns, built a milk cooler.

This farm was underlaid by "hard pan" as is some of the soil of Southern
Illinois, the University visitors discovered, and they became much interested in
the techniques by which the Iowa State College foundation was overcoming this
handicap,

"Dr. Cassoll and Mr. Peithman* I know, learned a great deal that they will
bo able to pass on to our agriculture students here at Southern and on to the
I farmers of Southern Illinois," Dean Rehn declared.

At the second farm the group visited they found gulleys covered, no vlsiblo
erosion, a good corn crop, fine permanent pasture— and a well-dressed, well-groomed
farm wife "as attractive as any city housewife,"

The third farm, near Iowa City, was a dairy farm that formerly had 12 head of
cattle and now has 30, The tenant sells $700 worth of milk to Iowa City markets
e^ch month. Except at haying time, the tenant himself is able to do all the work
on this farm and thus keep expenses down and profits up,

A local advisory committee of neighboring farmers acts in a consulting
capacity for each farm, under the Iowa plan, Dean Rehn said. This committee pays
an official visit to the f arm 'once each year, and is of particular assistance in
selecting the best tenant to occupy the farm, when a change is necessary.

"As a matter of fact, some of the tenants get to be such good farmers, and
become so prosperous, that they want to buy their own farms," Dean Rehn explained.

"The trip through Iowa was highly profitable for us," he said, "Some of the
farming methods that are in use on those farms would be quite satisfactory here
in Southern Illinois. They'll have to be tested out, to see whether they will work
]as is' on our land here or whether some variation would be better."

Dr. Cassell, who was formerly on the Southern faculty and who engaged in

war research work for the U, S. Department of Agriculture during the war years,
will return to the University this fall to head the department of agriculture.

"As wo rebuild our agriculture department, which became depleted during
the war, we are striving to make very sure that it will he of the greatest possible
service to the farmers of Southern Illinois," Dean Rehn declared. "This trip
through Iowa certainly offered some challenging ways in which a college can serve
the farmers."

Carbondale, 111., Sept, - Indications are that some 2,500 students will
enroll at Southern Illinois Normal diversity here next Monday, Sept, IS, for the
opening of the 73rd annual fall term.

Some 1,200 new students have applied for admission, the largest number in
history.

More than 1,200 veterans — many of them among the first year students — have
indicated that they want to enroll, or to re-enter after having been in school
last spring or in the summer. This number is almost double the veterm group here
last spring.

A substantially enlarged faculty will bo on hand to give instruction to what
is expected to be the University's largest student body.

Twenty-one new faculty members have been added to the staff, including four .
full professors, five associate professors, seven assistant professors* four
instructors* and an artist-in-residence. Some of these started their teaching duties
in the summer, but twelve of them will make their first appearance at the opening
of the fall term.

Tive University departments will have new chairmen this fall — agriculture, Dr.
Robert C. Cassell; music, Dr. Maurits Kesnar; industrial education, Dr, W,0. Bicknellj
speech, Dr. P. Merville Larson, all new appointees to the faculty; and botany, Dr.
Walter B. Welch, associate professor, who replaces Dr. William Bailey, professor,
who retires this fall.

Of the new faculty members, 13 are men and women who hold the doctor's degree
as evidence of their maximum educational preparation for their positions.

Five new faculty assistants and two full-time administrators— a director of
extension and placements, a new position, and a chief accountant have also been
appointed.

Registration for the fall term will be held Monday, Sept. 16, for uppcrclassmcn

and Tuesday, Sept. 17, for freshmen, with classes starting at 8 a. m. Wednesday.

Freshmen will spend Monday in an orientation program designed to acquaint them

with University life, with particular attention to the differences between college
and high school type of study.

Attention: Sports Editors

Carbondale, Ill.f Sept, 9 - MacAndrew Stadium w&s a beehive of activity
today as more than 85 candidates turned out for the pre-season practice for
Southern Illinois Normal University's 1946 football squad.

In line for scrimmage togs were a few familiar faces from last season, such
as Gene Stotlar, slingshot tailback who made all-conference, Leedio Cabutti, all-
conference left end, Sam Milosevich, all- conference tackle, and Carl Birkner,
stellar end of last season.

Many of the men's faces were vaguely familiar to present-day students. They
vere the star performers of earlier years who have just returned from service in
the armed forces. Chief among these were Lawrence Calufetti, former Maroon team
captain, Nick Milosevich, Myron Schuster, Jeff Mitchell, Bill O'Brien, and Bill
Cosgrove.

The remainder was made up of men who returned too lato to play football last
season, and incoming freshmen, a number of then with sparkling high school records
to their credit.

Today's practice was spent in passing and punting rehearsals, since Head
Football Coach Glenn ("Abe") Martin wanted to give his charges time to get into
shape after the summer vacation, before doing any heavy scrimmaging.

The Maroons' current season will open on September 28 when they play host to

the Kirksville (Mo.) Teachers.

The Maroons finished second in the conference race last year, losing out to
Northern 13 to 6 in the final contest of the season.

Carbondale, 111., Sept. - A strong program of teacher-oduoatioa, both on
and off campus, will "be conducted by the College cf Education at Southern Illinois
Normal Universitjr during the long session which starts Monday, Sept. 16.

Freshmen students will report for orientation sessions on Monday. Upperclass
students will register on Monday, and freshmen on Tuesday.

This fall, the College of Education will start its second year under the
leadership of Dr. Eugene R. Pair, This marks the first full session of operation
for Southern as a full-fledged university, with three colleges and a graduate school*

Southern was started 73 years ago as a teachers college, and the new College
of Education has taken over the teacher- education functions of what was originally
a normal school.

Last spring 850 students wore enrolled in the College of Education, an
enrollment that climbed to 962 in the summer. In addition, the 101 students
enrolled in the Graduate School were also majoring in education, since at present
the only graduate degree offered by the University is in this field.

Activities of the College of Edudation include college-level instruction
offered in the department of edudation, practice teaching for student teachers in
the campus laboratory schools and in affiliated off-campus schools, an extensive
field service program, and active participation by facultj'- members in
professional educational organizations — regional, state and national.

The department of education, with a faculty of 15, offers graduate work in
educational administration and supervision, elementary education, and subject-
matter teaching in college and secondary schools, elementary education, secondary
education, guidance and counseling, and rural education.

Students in the department take their subject-matter courses in the College
of liberal Arts and Sciences and in the College of Vocations and Professions, one
example of the close interrelation of the three colleges and the Graduate School
in the University's organization.

This fall, a course in library science for teachers responsible for public
school libraries will be restored to the curriculum, and a new course in "Public
Opinion and Propaganda in Edudation" will be taught for the first time.

Student teachers are required to do three terns of practice teaching "before
receiving their d egrees. To provide opportunities for this teaching under
competent supervision, the College of Education maintains two campus laboratory
schools— University High School, teaching nearly 200 pupilst and the Allyn Training
School, embracing grades one to six, a nursery school and a kindergarten.

Former ly both the 1_igh school and the elementary school were under the
direction of a superintendent of campus laboratory schools, but as a means of
strengthening the practice teaching program, each now has a full-time principal.

Dr. Ted R. Ragsdale, professor of education, is principal of the Allyn
Training School, while John D. Mees, formerly a principal of the Harvey, 111.,
high school, was brought in this fall as principal of University High School and
assistant professor of education.

A staff of 20 teachers and supervisors of student teaching comprises the
faculty of University High School and the Allyn Training School has a staff of 13.

As the University has grown through the years, student teaching facilities
have become crowded, and additional opportunities for student teaching has been
sought in the public schools of Southern Illinois, One Carbondale elementary
school and two rural schools, Buckles and Buncombe, in Jackson County are regularly
used by student teachers, the University supplying critic teachers to supervise
their work. Student teaching is also being resumed at Carterville High School
this year, with two critic teachers, Miss Gladys 0. Smith and Miss Irene Watson,
ast&gned as supervisors.

For a number of years home economics students have done practice teaching
at several off-campus centers, last year working at Dupo, Metropolis and West
Frankfort, and arrangements are now being worked out, according to Dean Fair, for
similar off-campus work in this field Jdrikibc this year.

A number of new faculty will join the College of Education staff this fall,
some of whom started their duties during the summer. Mr. Mees as principal of
University High School, for example, began his work during the summer in
preparation for the long session.

Other new faculty members include*

Dr. Eprl I. Hall, assistant professor of education, substituting for Dr.
Bruce Merwin, professor of education, who is spending 1946-47 on a sabbatical
leave of absence in study and research at the University of California.

Chalmer A. Gross, instructor in science in University High School, replacing
Mrs. Audrey Lindsey, who has resigned to accompany her husband to the University
of Illinois, where he is a graduate student and where she will teach in high school.

Lynn Holder, instructor, and Walter Masurek» faculty assistant, "both in the
department of physical education for men* Both of these positions are new.

Mrs. Margaret Shaw Lynch, instructor in physical education for women, replacing
Mrs. Dorothy Muzzey, who has "been granted a leave of absence for the fall term
"because of illness.

Mrs. Louise O'Neil Parker, instructor in physiology and health education, a
new position. *

Miss Theodora H. Kloha, instructor in education, who will fill the position
of Miss Florence Wells, English supervisor in University High School, who retires
this fall*

Edward L, Allen, faculty assistant and critic teacher at Buncombe School,
who replaces Jean Eligor, on leave this year to work toward his doctoral degree
at Michigan State College.

Mrs. 3ernice Sickman, faculty assistant and assistant critic teacher at
3 um combe School, who replaces Mrs. Anne Placko Hedges, who has in turn replaced
Mrs. Lucy Fligor as assistant at the Nursery School and Kindergarten. Mrs. Fligor
has accompanied her husband to Michigan.

In addition to its instructional program, the College of Education carries on
a broad program of field service to teachers. A committee of University educators,
headed by Dr. Howard E. Bosley, serves as monsultants for Southern Illinois county
school reorganization committees.

More than a dozen conferences of Southern Illinois school people — teachers,

during the past year
principals, superintendents, county committees — have been held/ by the University

as have several meetings called "by the State Department of Education.

An aviation education conference; workshops in health education, rural
education, and nursery school-primary education; a week-long administrator's
workshop; four child guidance clinics; a Parent- Teacher conference; and a, book

exhibit have been held.

Workshops in rural education and conservation were held during August in
Southern Illinois communities away from the campus.

To be of particular service to teachers, a large number of extension courses
are offered in Southern Illinois communities, and one night class and two
Saturday classes are to he given on the campus this year by the College of
Education.

gridders swing into their third day of pre-season practice, they are preparing
to get down to some serious work. Over 100 men have turned out to date and many
of them are reporting for practice in track suits as there are not enough
football togs .to go around.

So far, all practice has "been confined to calesthenics, passing, and punting,
"but today Coach Glenn "AoeM Martin had the linesmen blocking hard. later the moi
will be put into teams for regular practice.

Looking especially good on the line work were Sam Hilosevich, Zcigler^ all-
conference tackle last year, Bill Cosgrove of Benton* and Mytron Schuster of
Murphy sb or o. These three men were tutoring the younger men in the arts of
offensive and defensive line play.

Working out of a "T11 formation and looking fully as capable as he did last
season when he made all-conference was tailback Gene Stotlar, Pinckneyville.
Alternating with Stotlar was Bill Malinsky, Flora, who is shaping up after a hitch
in the armed fofces.

The end positions are pretty much of a toss-up as there are 20 candidates
out for the coveted positions.

In the kicking department Malinsky and Jack Stevens, West Frankfort, were
leading the way, getting off some nice punts.

The Maroons will be without the services of Hick Milosevich, Zeigler, who
with his two brothers Sam and Pete, was expected to put on a brother act for
Southern. It was learned, however, that Nick is attending Western Michigan. Sam
and ?ete£ are on hand and going strong.

first heavy scrimmage.

The ^aroons have not been too impressive in their drills so far, except for the
eiith&&few§m that they have shown, but that will all be history when the men face
each other across the line.

Injuries should, not hamper Martin's practice too much because he is able to go
about six deep at almost any position.

'Eowfiweat? WSSMP^? all of his men are question marks as yet. He has some star

but he cannot tell yet which ones can make the college football level.

Special to Southern Illinois Dailies

Carbondale, 111., Sept, - The gradually increasing tempo of
the Southern Illinois Normal University grid program is becoming
apparent on the training field.

Coach Glenn "Abe" Martin divided his squad into three teams with
Bill Malinsky of Flora quarterbacking one; Gene Stotlar of Pinckneyville
masterminding another; and George Baysinger of Carbondale handling the
third*

In all probability, one of these three men will be the chief
tailback when the season opens next September against Kirksville
Teachers, Mo., and each man is performing exceptionally well,

Malinsky is the biggest of the three and is developing into a
very deceptive ball handler; Stotlar is leading the field in deception
and speed, which he showed to such good advantage last year when he
made all-conference; Baysinger is coming along fast, and although his
performances are spotty, at times he looks like the best ball handler
of the three.

The line working with Malinsky sounds like an all-star Southern

squad of past seasons. Such men as Charles "Shag" Crouch, massive

center of Carbondale, Bill Cosgrove of Benton, Jeff Mitchell of Zeigler,

Myron Schuster of Murphysboro, Carl- Birkner of Pinckneyville, Roy

Ragsdale of DeSoto, and Jay Pierrons of Murphysboro,

It was announced that the squad would begin heavy scrimmage Saturday.

Illinois Normal University has:

(1) set aside a third day for registration and postponed initial
meeting of classes until Thursday morning.

(2) started employing more faculty members about a half dozen

new ones were secured today.

(3) opened two score new class sections, many of them to meet
durin0 the noon hour, between 3 and 6 p. m. , at night, and on Saturdays.

a total of 1,155 upperclass students registered Monday, and 637
freshmen enrolled today, making a total of 1792. Current estimates
place final enrollment for the fall term at 26OO- 2,600, compared to
lj06^ for the fall term last year and 1,531 for the spring term.

About half tho freshmen on campue completed registration today and
it is believed a large number of upperclassmen are still to register.

The vast increase in registration here is largely attributed to
the fact that as yet Southern is one of few colleges and universities
in the State which have not limited enrollment by one means or another.
Some institutions have fixed a maximum number for freshmen, others
have raised admission standards to take only s tudents with a higher-
than-usual scholastic average, others have limited out-of-state students

So far, Southern has not placed any barriers before prospective
students, but has warned them of the housing shortage, and urged that
they find living accommodations before enrolling. Apparently this has
not proven too great a handicap, for actual registration has exceeded
pre-registration applications by several hundred.

Southern's housing counselor has canvassed the entire city and
nearby towns for student housing, and has persuaded scores of citizens
to remodel garages, attics, and basements for apartments and rooms.
Every faculty member has been solicited to rent spare bedrooms to
students.

Housing for new faculty has proven as serious a problem as
student housing, but accommodations have been secured for all of the
31 new teachers and staff members who joined the University family
this fall, although services of several prospective faculty members
were lost because they became discouraged over the housing situation.

The University's committee on admissions, scheduling and
registration has been frequently in session this week to consider
how best to handle the unprecedented influx of students.

Special to dailies

Carbondale* 111. Sept* -Practice was slowing down to a walk today on the
Southern Illinois Normal University football field according to head football
coach Glenn "Abe" Martin. Injuries plus freshman registration were responsible
for the letdown*

Many of the veterans were sidelined or forced to confine their practice to
calesthenics because of foot injuries, and most of the freshmen were taking
tests i leaving only a skeleton squad to take the field today to practice passing*
punting, and line plays*

The scheduled scrimmage last Saturday was called off because the men were not
in good enough shape, Martin said. The mentor is bringing his men along slow in
a training program designed to bring the team up to pin-point perfection for the
opening game with Kirksville (Mo*) Teachers on Sept. 28,

One of the many headaches suffered by Martin this season is the bad timing
shown by his squad. Very few men out this year have had any "T" formation work in
college football, and during the practice sessions this is showing up greatly.

The practice sessions should swing back into high gear* however, on Thursday

when all the candidates have the registration bugs cleared from their minde

and their injuries patched up.

Carbondale, 111., Sept. -In operation less than a year, the new College of
Vocations and Professions at Southern Illinois Normal University, which opens its
73rd annual long session Monday, Sept. 16, is getting into full swing.

Pour departments in the college will have new permanent chairmen this fall,
according to Dr. Henry J. Helm, who was "brought from Temple University,
Philadelphia, last October to serve as dean of the new college.

Ea<;h of these four departmental chairmen is a recognized authority in his
field, holding the doctor' s degree as an academic rating and having an extensive
"backlog of professional experience.

Pour other new faculty members have also been added to the teaching staff of
the college this fall — a journalism instructor, a band instructor and director,
an associate professor of economics, and an artist-in-residence.

The faculty of the college now numbers 27, and this fall will offer a total
of 78 courses in nine fields— agriculture, art, economics, business, industrial
education, journalism, music, speech, and home economics.

Journalism is being restored to the curriculum of the University after a
lapse of a jrear, with two courses to be given this fall by Robert A. Steffes,
former North Dakota newspaperman who has been doing graduate study at the
University of Sj^racuse School of Jcurnalismthis fall. A full degree program in
this field is to be opened as rapidly as students become ready for more advanced
courses, Dean Rehn said.

Speech is also being expanded with the creation of a speech department and
the appointment of Dr. P. Merville Larson as associate professor and department
chairman, Dr, Larson for a number of years has been head of the speech department
at Texas College of Arts and Industries.

The agriculture, industrial education and music departments Rtitxajdatsdaaacs
JSSSXjSjsBSKtjagKis will also have new departmental chairmen. Dr. R. C. Cassell,
professor of agriculture, was formerly on the Southern faculty but has spent most
of the last three years in war research for the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
He now returns to head Southern's expanding agriculture department.

Dr. Mauritz Xesnar, professor of music and new music department chairman,
is a professional violinist and has been a member of several outstanding European

orchestras as well as the Minneapolis Synphony and the New York Stadium orchestras*-
Ke cones to Southern from August ana College, where he was director of the school
of music.

Another addition to the music department faculty this fall will he Harold
Kines, who holds the master's degree from the University of Illinois, as instructor
in hand and director of the Southern hand.

Dr. W. C. Bicknell, who has been director of the mechanic arts program at
the University of Missouri, now becomes professor of industrial education and
chairman of the industrial education department at Southern. He directed a Navy
Diesel School research program at the University of Missouri during the war, and
later was a supervisor in a Kansas City aircraft plant.

The other two new faculty members joining the staff this fall are Dr. Lev/is
A. Maverick, associate professor of economics, who comes to Southern from the
University of California, where he was chairman of the economics department, and
Miss Eva Mirahal, distinguished Indian painter, as artist-in-residence.

Miss Mirahal, in addition to teaching classes in painting, will maintain a
studio here and will permit students to come in for observation and counseling
while she is at work.

Two other new faculty members — Conrad White as assistant professor of
agriculture and Ben Watkins as assistant professor of art — assumed their duties
here during the summer.

Seven new courses will be offered by the College of Vocations and Professions
this fall— a freshman agriculture course in Poultry Production; a junior business
course in Transcription and a junior course in Financial Management; an
Introduction to Home Economics, for freshmen; a freshman industrial education
course in Descriptive Geometry; a music course in Keyboard Harmony; and a
Journalism Laboratory course.

A wide range of subjects is offered '^y the various departments in the
college, including:

Agriculture — animal husbandry, soils, horticulture.

Art — sculpture, painting, ceramics, weaving, art appreciation.

3usiness — general business, accounting, secretarial science.

Economics — general and applied.

Home Economics — clothing, nutrition and dietetics, homempking.

Industrial Education — draftsmanship, machine shop, woodwork.
■ Music — voice, string, piano, band and orchestra, theory, composition,
music appreciation.

Speech — public speaking, acting.

Journalism — reporting, editing.

(more)

Besides its on- campus instructional program, the College of Vocations and
Professions will offer two extension courses — Music and Entertainment, taught
by D. S. Mcintosh, associate professor of music, at Pinckneyville, and Art
Education in the Public School, by Miss Lulu D. Roach, assistant professor of art,
at Benton.

The home economics department conducts a substantial part of its student-
teaching program at high schools of Southern Illinois. Like other departments
in the College of Vocations and Professions and the College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences, it teaches subject-matter courses for students in the College of
Education, and requires three terms of practice teaching for prospective teachers
who are majoring in home economics*

Another phase of practical experience required of home economics students is
residence for six weeks in the Practice House, a demonstration home maintained
by the department. Here the students put into actual practice in a home
environment the things they have learned in class and laboratory — buying, planning
meals, cooking, serving, keeping house, "budgeting, etc.

Agriculture students likewise receive practical experience on the 72-acre
University Parm, adjacent to the campus, where experimental work goes on in soil
conservation, crop gro\iring and animal husbandry. Dean Rehn, Dr. Cassell, and
Irving Peithman, manager of the University Parm, recently made a four-day tour
of experimental farms in Iowa to see what new techniques might be adapted to
the needs of students here and farmers of Southern Illinois.

A Cannery is maintained by the College across the street from the University
campus. Operated by the University with the aid of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture as a war food conservation project, it is now run entirely ^y the
University.

Staffed "by two instructors, the Cannery has processed 2,700 to 2,300 cans
of fruits and vegetables per week this summer, providing this service to housewives
of this area at a nominal cost. Technically supervised "oj the home economics
department, it is under the business supervision of Van Buboltz, assistant
professor of business.

The College of Vocations and Professions, along with other branches of

the University, is cooperating with the University of Illinois and other agencies

such as the State Porest Service, the State Geological Survey, and the State

Historical Association, in a survey of Southern Illinois resources and ;

potentialities. Dr. Rehn, dean of the college, is a member of the central

planning committee for the survey.

One of three under- graduate colleges in Southern's recently expanded
organization as a university, the College of Vocations and Professions is designed
to afford both four year degree plans and shorter programs of technical, vocational
and professional training for the youth and adults of Southern Illinois.

Carbondale, 111., Sept. -After being bottled up for three
periods, the Southern Illinois Normal University gridders finally
pushed across a lone touchdown for the only score of the game as the
Maroons took the measure of the visiting , Kirksville (Mo.) Teachers
6-0 last Saturday in MacAndrew Stadium.

With both teams showing very little power, the game settled into
what would have been a very drab affair except for several break-away •
runs by Kirksville 's Joe Aspberger, and some fancy spot passing by
Southern's Gene Stotlar of Pinckneyville.

Beth lines seemed formidable, but both teams were afflicted with
the same trouble; that is, neither backfield was fast enough to do
the "T" formation justice.

Southern's score came late in the fourth period after Bill
Malinsky of Flora connected a long pass to Bob Golborn, also of
Flora, on the Missourian's 10 yard line. The Llaroons drove to the
five yard line but lost the ball on downs.

Kirksville punted to their own 45 yara line and from there Southern
started their toucndown march. With Stotlar mixing short passes
with end runs, the 1.1a r©nns drove down to their foes two ytird line.
Then Stotlar drove over for paydirt. The attempt for conversion was
no good and the contest ended a few minutes later with the
Illinoisians once more driving from midfield.

The Maroons lost two scoring opportunities when officials ruled
that end Leedio CabutT;i of Johnston City stepped out of bounds shen
he caught a pass on the Kirksville one foot line, and again when
Southern drove dowm to the Missouri five yard line but had the play
called back because of unnecessary roughness.

Outstanding linemen for Southern were center Charles "Shag" Crouch

of Carbondale, end Sam Milosevich of Zeigler, guard Myron Schuster of
Zeigler, end John Catlin of Harrisburg, and guard Bill Cosgrove of
Benton.

In the backfield, quarterback George Baysinger of Carbondale,
fullbaGk Lawrence Calufeti:i of Johnston City and freshman halfback
Dick Seelman of Flora were the mainstays.

Authority of a construction contract to convert five buildings at the
Illinois Ordnance Plant into 104 apartments for Southern Illinois
married veterans who are students at Southern Illinois Normal
University will soon give the University 209 such apartments,
University President Chester F. Lay has announced.

T>Tork on the units at the ordnance plant — to be provided without
cost to the University—was scheduled to be started September 30 and
to be completed by December 28.

"These apartments should enable us to afford housing for a larger
number of graduate students, since many of the veterans in this
classification are married and have families," President Lay pointed
out.

Under construction on Chautauqua Street, adjacent to the campus
here in Carbondale, are 105 family units for married veteran students,
being constructed jointly by the University and the FPHA. almost all
of the 35 barracks which are bein_ converted into apartments are
already on the site and undergoing remodeling.

Installation of utility facilities is not progressing as rapidly
as University authorities desire, however, because of the difficulty
of obtaining materials under priority ratings assigned to the
University for the project.

Contract awarded by the FPHA to the George L. Cousins Contracting

Company of St. Louis for the ordnance plant conversion project includes

all work necessary to complete interior remodeling, installation of

all utility connections, the provision of individual and approach

sidewalks, and grading.

Under the Lanham net, which autnorized the FPHu to provide
emergency housing for educational institutions, the schools urc
required to bear expenses in co necLion with furnisn^ng suitable sites,
rough grading, installation of streets, principal sidewalks and main
utility lines, as necessary. Since these facilities ure already
available at the ordnance plant, the family housin^ project theie is

any previous yeo.r, numbering 20. These classes are taught in 1$
different co unties by regular University faculty members who drive
to their weekly class meetings. Some professors travel more than
100 miles to meet their extension classes, and 100 miles back to
the campus at Carbondale.

Enrollment in extension courses, added to the 2,700 students
currently attending on-Ccimpus courses here, gives the University
nearly 3,600 students this fail.

Two of this fall's extension offerings are courses given by the
College of Liberal ^rts and Sciences, three by the College of
Vocations and Professions, and 15 by the College of Education.

Southern's Extension and Placement Services were placed on a
full-time basis this summer for the first time, when Mr. Dey became
full-time director.

"T'e are gratified at the growth our extension program is
already showing," University President Chester F. Lay declared, "and
we hope that under mr. Dey's leadership Southern Ccni develop an
off -campus instructional urogram that will increasingly meet the
educational needs of _raduates and other adult citizens o± Southern

period, the Southern Illinois Normal Maroons threw a scare into the
Southeastern Missouri State Indians before succumbing to them 20 to
13 last Saturday in Macnndrew Stadium.

Webb Halbei t and John Griffith were the Missouri bi^ guns, with
Halbert counting all three of Cape's markers.

For Southern, little Gene Stotlar of Pinckneyvia.le raced 65
yards for the first tally, and Bill Malinsky of Flora passed to
Don Creath of East St. Louis who took the toss in the Indians' end
zone for the Maroons last score. Bill O'Brien of Zeigler and Jack
Stephens of M, Frankfort combined for the conversion.

a near capacity crowd, containing Cape Girardeau' s band and
many of the Missouri students, witnessed the encounter. This was
the first loss for the Maroons, making their record read one win
and one loss. The Indians now have a record of two wins -nd one tie.

Experience and weight told the story in the first half as the
Missourians marched up and down the field almost at will while the
Maroons couldn't seem to get set.

However, midway in the last period, Southern seemed to catch

fire. With Malinsky pitching strikes, the Maroons took the offensive

and counted twice before time ran out on them.

Southern's next home game will be October 9, when they take
on Arkansas State, Next week, the Maroons will journey to Normal
where they will tangle with State Normal in their first Illinois

Carbondale, 111., Oct. 8 —Looking for the victory trail and also a chance
to get off on the right foot in the Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
gridiron race, the Southern Illinois Normal University Maroons will journey to
Normal, Illinois, on Saturday, October 12, where they will tangle with the
Illinois State Normal Red Birds.

So far this season the Maroons have broken even in the win-and-loss
column; winning the curtain raiser from Kirksville (Ho.) Teachers 6-0, and
dropping the second tilt 20-13 to Southeastern Missouri State,

The Red Birds have took the field three times this season and came away
with two impressive victories, one over DePauw, the other over Michigan State.
The Birdies dropped their opening contest to Indiana State.

The Southerners have not been too impressive in their two contests so far,

but in the last period in the Cape Girardeau game, they seemed to catch fire

with a brilliant aerial attack. Bill Malinsky of Flora seemed to' take over the

passing duties, while Gene Stotlar showed that he could do more than hand the

ball off, as he reversed his 'field and ran 65 jards for a touchdown last

Saturday,

A threat that the Southerners must contend with is found in Bloice Bess,
veteran halfback, who has already become respected by Normal opponents so far
this season.

State Normal will be out to defend their 1945 I.I.A.C. crown against the
runner-up Maroons when the two elevens clash on McCormick Field.

Southern's Coach Glenn "Abe" Martin has indicated that he will string along
■with the starting line-up used in the two previous contests. It will be as
follows: left end, Sam Milosevich of Zeigler; left tackle, Jeff Mitchell of
Zeigler; left guard, Myrcn Schuster of Zeigler; center, Charles "Shag" Crouch
of Carbondale; right guard, Bill Cosgrove of Benton; right tackle, Jim Lovin of

Carbondale, 111., Oct. - Although it was Western's
Homecoming football game, the Southern Illinois Normal University
Maroons took over and when the festivities were done, the score board
showed a 19-7 Southern win.

The Southern cross-country team finished the half-time run
in a 30-30 dead heat with the host harriers while the Monmouth thinly-
clads wound up third with 6l+ points.

Before the largest crowd ever to witness a home football game at
Macomb, the Maroons, behind brilliant line play and fancy stepping
backs scored once in each of the second, third, and fourth periods
to take their second conference game without a loss, and making their
season's record show three victories against two defeats.

The Leathernecks delighted the partisan crowd by punching across
a touchdown in the middle of the first period and taking a 7-0 lead.
However, their joy was shortlived when, on the second play of the
second quarter, Bob Johnson of Itoyalton stepped off 40 yards of fancy
broken field running and crossed Western's goal line. The conversion
missed and the Leathernecks led 7-6 when the halftime came.

The third period Maroon score broke the hearts of the Homecoming
fans, as Bill Malinsky of Flora, playing at quarterback in this
contest, shot a 30yeard touchdown pass to Gaie Stotlar of
Pinckneyville , who has been moved to right halfback. This time
Captain Lawrence Calufetti of Johnston City kicked the extra point and
Southern took a 13-7 lead, never to be headed again.

The Maroons put the game game on ice in the fourth quarter when
the desperate Westerners took to the air. On a pass play, the
Southern line broke through and rushed the passer, and he dropped a
slfaort pass into the hands of Stotlar who galloped 25 yards for the
score. The conversion missed ajsjain, but the Maroons were able to
coast in on their 19-7 lead, despite the val/iantEbshcx drive put on
by the keyed-up Leathernecks in the last seconds of the game.

The harriers were not so fortunate as the}' were held to a tie

-2-

for the 3.6 mile hill and dale course. The winning time was

a slow 19.44.

The thinlyclads finished as follows: first — Green (W); second

Carbnndale, 111., Oct. — The dairy nerds at Southern Illinois Normal
Univer ity are entirely free of the dreaded Bangs Disease, which annually costs
dairy farmers of Illinois between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000, Conrad White,
assistant professor of agriculture, reports proudly.

Blood samples from the Guernsey and Hereford herds on the University Farm
were tested recently "by Dr. G. V. Keller, deputy state veterinarian, and were
found to "be disease free.

Milk from cows infected with Bangs Disease causes undulent fever in human
beings who drink it, Mr. White explained, adding that this fever is one of the
most prolonged and debilitating diseases to which the human body is susceptible
running for years.

"In addition to the danger to human beings, there is a great economic loss
in livestock production," he declares. "This amounts to between four and five
million dollars annually in Illinois."

Findings of Professor Bang of Denmark, who first discovered the germ
causing Bangs Disease in 1896, were substantiated in 1910 by the Illinois
Agricultural 3&ip or inynt Station, Mr. White pointed out.

Today a testing program 'is being carried on by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, Bureau of Animal Industry, with the cooperation of the Illinois
Department of Agriculture, to seek out and control the disease.

::;

-2-

This program calls for three optional plans: (l) herd testing and
slaughtering of animals reacting positively to the tests; (2) herd testing with

slaughter of reacting animals and vaccination of all calves; (3) herd testing
with deferred slaughtering of reacting animals and calf hood vaccination.

Only positive safeguard against human infection with undulent fever from
Bangs Disease is for each family (l) to make sure that all milk used cor.ies from
animals certified to he disease free, and (2) to insist on pasteurized milk.

"There are still a few small dairies which do not pasteurize," Dr. R. C.
Cassell, chairman of the University's agriculture department, said. "The public
should insist on pasteurization."

Home-produced milk which comes from cows infected with Bang's Disease
should he carefully pasteurized "by "boiling for 30 minutes at 145° F., Mr. White
said.

"It is the plan of those in charge of the animal husbandry work at the
University farm to continue the disease testing program and to bring to the
farm only animals that have a health certificate showing them to be disease-
free animils.

Carbondale, 111., Oct. 17 — Colleges and universities should he preparing
young people for life in the smaller communities and rural areas, rathern than in
the crowded metropolitan centers, Southern Illinois Normal University President
Chester F. Lay declared in a radio interview this week.

Expressing grave concern at the consequences of the discovery of atomic
bomb, he said, "The whole world seems bent on self-destruction, and some people
even think it not at all inconceivable that within a lifetime — if indeed not
with in a very short span of years — the population that remains might "be driven
hack to the caves, to living underground.

"If that is the case, even though it may seem an extreme case, all of us
should he learning something ahout how to exist with nothing hut our own hands
to keep life together.

"We ought to be learning how to get along with nature, and how to use nature
for our own self-preservation."

Dr. Lay expressed the belief that there may yet be "time for the world to
stop its headlong rush to self-destruction. . ..time for us all to learn to live
together as civilized human beings."

Education has a special 'obligation in this effort, he asserted.

"Education must leave no stone unturned — in the classroom, on the public

platform, in the daily contacts of teachers with the public—to strive for

world understanding and to help develop grounds for mutual confidence," the

(more)

i or

w:
n tl

University president pointed out.

"We must try to understand the currents of international affairs, and lend
our support and convictions to efforts that may yet "build world peace. We must
train young men and women to take their places in international and domestic
affairs who may yet succeed where we have so far failed."

Elaborating on his proposal that colleges and universities should train
their students for small-town and rural lifet President Lay pointed out that an
atomic "bomb dropped on St. Louis, 95 miles from the University campus, could
"wipe out the very hub of the country's transportation system," and that its effects
would "be drastically felt on this campus.

"What I am getting at is this — our whole way of life is threatened "by the
discovery of the atom bomb," he aaid.

"It becomes increasingly apparent that decentralization of industry and
decentralization of population should be carried out, and quickly.

"I think that instead of preparing our students for professions that will
take them to the big cities, we should be preparing them to return to the smaller
communities, where life may be simpler and opportunities may not be quite so great
for financial success, but where existence may be safer — •safer from atomic attack."

Asked by what kind of training he would prepare students for such living,

he said, "Well, for example, I think there should be a far greater emphasis on

agriculture, and more of our students should bo encouraged to go into scientific

farming.

"More of our girls should be studying home economics. More of our students
should be planning to become small businessmen in small towns, working on their
own rather than going into large businesses and industries that are concentrated
In the metropolitan areas.

"Actually, I think we need to be providing instruction in how to exist close
to the earth, and to draw subsistence from the earth if it becomes necessary."

Carbondale, 111., Oct. 21 --Finding out the hard way that after
touchdowns, conversions are important, too, the Southern Illinois
Normal University Maroons went down to a 14-12 del eat at the hands
of Arkansas State last Saturday as the Indians made two touchdowns

I and two place kicks while the Maroons matched their two six-point
scores but could not add the extra markers.

Southern hit the jackpot when the game was young as Dick
Seelman of Flora dropped a 30-yard pass into the arms of Leedio
Cabutti of Johnston City who was standing in the end zone. The
place-kick missed and the Maroons led 6-0.

The Indians fought back in the third period, however, and
counted twice. Their first score came after they had intercepted
a Southern pass. They marched down the field to the Maroon two-yard
line, from where Jim Jordan carried it over. Bob Appleby and Tom
Uhlmansieck combined for the conversion, with Appleby booting, and
the Staters led 7-6.

The Maroons received the kickoff deep in their own territory
and when quarterback Gene Stotlar of Pinckneyville dropped back to
pass, he was rushed, and tossed the ball into the arms of Arkansas
end S. T. Johnston, who Was downed on the local one yard line.

Trying three line plays th&t failed to gain the necessary
yardage, Uhlmansieck passed to Virgil Ledbettur in t he end zone to
chalk up another six points. Appleby and Uhlmansieck combined once
more and the man from Jonesboro, Ark., had a commanding 14-6 lead.

Coach Glenn ''Abe5' Martin's charges weren't to be cast aside
so easily though, and in the fourth period Bill Malinsky of Flora
passed to George Beltz of Marion from a tricky formation on the
26-yard line and Beltz received the toss in the Indian end zone.
Once more the conversion failed and Arkansas still led 14-12.

Time ran out before the Maroons could cross the goal line
again but the contest ended on a thrilling note. With time left
for but one play, Malinsky heaved a desparate pass from his own
46-yard line and Beltz hauled it down on the State four-yard stripe.
He was immediately tackled and the officials declared the contest
p^s history.

This was Southern's second loss against as many triumphs. The

next home game will be November 2, when the Maroons will entertain

Eastern Illinois State Teachers in the annual homecoming contest.

Next week the Martin-men will journey to Macomb where the Western

Leathernecks will try to derail the Maroon conference-crown drive.

Although the Maroons still arc plagued by the injury jinx, the

Coach Glenn "Abe" Martin, his assistants, ana the football scuad.

Aside from being a conference tilt, the game with Eastern to
be held here November 2 will probably attract thousands of students,
local fans, and many alumni, and the athletic department is doing
their utmost to furnish them with an afternoon complete with the
fruits of victory.

However, Eastern will play the roll of villi an once more in their
highly concentrated efforts to make the Maroon fans leave MacAndrew
Stadium in an unhappy state of mind. Coach Maynard "Pat" O'Brien
will be bringing an eleven to Carbondale that is sprinkled generously
with returned veterans and high school stars. The Panther scuad is
reported to be the largest to turn out in Eastern history.

In the Southern mentor, Martin, is found a quiet character
who oozes confidence and is able to impart this _uiet confidence
to his men. Martin attended Southern and won football letters in
1929, 1930, and 1931. In 1930 he was elected captain and was
chosen all-conference left halfback.

Martin also played professional football for the Chicago
Cardinals for one ye^r and then took up high school coaching. He
started at Fairfield and then moved to Pontiac. He returned to
3outhernTs campus in 1J3$ as assistant coach and in 1939 became
hecid cocich. In 1945, he was made athletic Director.

In eastern's case, however, 0TBrien is serving his freshman year
as head football <und is anxious to make a jood record. He was
recently released from the U. S. Navy with the rank of lieutenant
commander. While in service, O'Brien had the r;ood fortune to work
under the direction of Bernie Bierman, famous Minnesota mentor, who
was directing the Iowa Pre-Flijht team. O'Brien attributes much of
his football knowledge to this association.

O'Brien, six feet three inches tall and weijhinw 225 pounds,
is a former gridiron star of Illinois T7esleyan of Bloominr:ton, and
probably nothing would suit him better than to ^nock off Southern's
Maroons before the Homecomin^ aggregation.

However, with many of the injured Southerners on the recovery
list, the Maroons should be able to field a full strength team
a^ciinst Eastern, and a victory for the Maroon and White should not
be too remote.

Release Friday p.m.

Carbondale, 111,, Oct. "Beat Eastern on Homecoming" — -that is the cry that
is going around the campus of Southern Illinois Normal University this week as
the Southern Maroons are making last minute preparations to down the Eastern
Illinois State Teachers College eleven when they clash in MacAndrew Stadium at
2:30 p.m. next Saturday, November 2,

The Maroons sport a record of three wins ana two defeats for the current
season, and two of these victories were over Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic
conference foes; therefore, the Maroons will lay their chances to stay in the race
for the loop crown on the line in this crucial contest.

The Maroon grid machine should be ready to go in this tilt, as they came
through last week's 1S-7 win over Western State Teachers without any serious
injuries. Southern spoiled Western's Homecoming as far as the gridiron activities
were concerned, and will be out this week to keep Eastern from returning the
deed to them.

Eastern should not be too difficult for the Maroons to solve this week, as
Southern is rated a better squad by the experts, and on top of this will be
especially keyed up for Homecoming* However, it is a known fact that rival
coaches and teams have no greater joy than to whip a favore-do. team in its
Homecoming game.

Carbondale, 111,, Nov. --Going outside the txiinois intercoli
Intercollegiate Atnletic Conference next Saturday, the Southern
Illinois Normal University ^ridders journey eastward to Evansville,
Ind., to take on tht. highly touted Evansville College eleven in
what promises to be one of the karoons1 toughest battles of the
season.

This tilt will be somewhat of a ''rubber"' match as the two
schojls hav. met twice before and each came off with a victory. In
1940, the Aces downed Southern 13-7, but the jbiaroons came back in
1941 to blank the Hoosiers 14-0, Football was discontinued at
Evansville in 1943 so this wil- be the first meeting for the two
teams since then.

The Maroons arc riding on the crest of a two-game winning streak,
having downed Uestern 19-7 and Eastern 29-0 on the last two
successive Saturdays bringing Coach Glenn Ifiibe'( Martin's charges1
record to four wins and two defeats, Martin has reported one injury
from last weeks tilt, Lawrence Calufetti of Johnston City starting
fullback, will not be in there for the opening kictvofi this week
us he turned up with a leg injury after last Saturday's fray.

The Evansville Aces are reported to have a powerful aggregation
this year. Highlights from their record show a 20-0 win over
Murray College, a 19-6 victory :>ver Illinois esle.an, a 13-2 edge
over Indiana State, ana a scoreless tie with Cape Girardeau, the
eleven that dropped Southern 13-7 earlier in the season,

Martin has offered the following probable starting lineup:
left end-Galan Davis of Du„uoin; left tackle- Jim Lovin or Benton;
left guard- Oral Osborn of Jackson City, Lich.; center- Chafclie Heinz
of Grilles )ie: right _uaru- Bill Cosgrove of Benton: right tackle-

Carbondale, 111., Nov. 6 - The administration of Southern 1211:..
Illinois Normal University welcomes "and indeed urges" an inquiry
by the State Teachers College Board into University operations and
achievements, University President Chester F. Lay said Wednesday.

"I am confident," Dr. Lay declared, "that such an inquiry, far
from giving substance to the irresponsible and often malicious
rumors that have been circulating about the University and its
administration, will prove conclusively that we have every reason
to be proud--and that the people of Southern Illinois have equal
reason to be proud — of our accomplishments here."

The University president said that he understands that the
directors of the University Alumni Association last week-end sent
a resolution to the State Teachers College Board asking that board
to inquire into the causes of the "unfavorable publicity" of recent
weeks.

"I am entirely in accord with this reported action of the
Alumni Association directors," Dr. Lay said. "In fact, on October
29 I wrote to the president of the Alumni Association and urged that
the Alumni board convene in my office and give me the opportunity
to furnish them with any information they might desire about the
University and its operations.

"I feel that the Alumni directors have taken a wise step in
addressing their resolution to the State Teachers College Board,
which is the agency designated by law to govern this institution,
and I shall welcome any inquiry which the Board wishes to make,

"I am not insensible to the fact that many irresponsible rumors
have been circulating, and that some wild charges have been voiced.
Any person who has the interest of the University at heart should
present complaints with any evidence in his possession to the
only agency which can legally take cognizance of them — the State
Teachers College Board."

President Lay declined to comment further on any of the specific
rumors or published attacks upon the University* s administration,
except to say, "I wonder at what motives must prompt such attacks
when the accomplishments are so outstanding,"

He mentioned among the ^o.csnt'--a<;c'6iaplishments: increased
budgets, higher standing with accrediting agencies, strengthened and
expanded faculty, ofero.aderied administrative structure, commitments
from the Federal government for more student veteran housing
in proportion to the size of the University than any other
institution in Illinois, and creation of opportunities and the
safeguarding of the interests of student veterans.

Bleachers will be installed on the east side of the stadium to
boost the arena's capacity to 8,500, Martin said. Game time, he
reminded fans, will be 2> p.m.

Last year these same Northern Huskies came down from DeKalb and
dealt Southern a 13-7 defeat that knpcked the parpens from thV
conference lead into soSgnd place behind State Normal.

This year, however, both the Huskies and the maroons are unbeaten
and untied in loop play, and this Saturday's fracas will decide the
rulers of the 1%6 IIAC,

On the books, the Northerners look best, having lost only one
contest in season's play, while the Martin-men have won four and lost
three. Nevertheless, the Maroons will be playing on their home field,
and together with a motive of revenge, are given a fair chance of
upsetting the Huskies.

The fans will have -"T" served to them all day as both of the title
contenders use this deceptive formation. For Southern, Bill Malinsky
of Flora will direct operations in the Maroon backfield, with the able
assistance of left halfback Bob Johnson of Du^uoin, right halfback
Gene Stotlar of Pinckneyville , and fullback Lawrence Calufetti of
Johnston City.

The Huskies will counter with Kaczala in the tailback spot,

the loop coached by Gil Dodds, wound up in first place as their star,
Bob Buker, crossed the finish line in 19:50.5.

T'Jheaton (26 points); second-State Normal (51); third-Southern (77);
foutth-We stern (91); fifth-Eastern (9e).

In the conference race, which was won oy Louis DePrimo of

Carhondale-21; Bill Dorris of oenton-27.

In kacAndrew Stadium, the Northern Huskies^ who came to town

tied with the i-Iaroons for the conference lead, ran their behemoth

lines in anil out of the game, stifiling aouahern's ground attack, and

their halfback Minnehan , almost single-handedlv broke up the maroon's

passing attack as he intercepted two riaroon tosses, one of which was

turned into a touchdown drive by Hennigan for Northern.

In the second period, Southern Quarterback Bill Malinsky of
Flora, attempted to hit right enaLeedio Gabutti of Johnston City

carried it from his own 1+8 to Southern's 15-.

The Huskies cracked over in six plays, as halfback Harry Hennigan
bulled his way across from the two-yard line. Hennigan also booted
the extra point and Norhtern led 7-0 at the Half.

Carbondale, 111. Nov. Although defeated 21-7 last Saturday
by a powerful Evansville eleven, the Southern Illinois Normal Univer-
sity I'laroons will ,_,o into this week's crucial contest against Northern
Illinois State Teachers College undefeated in conference play, and
the IIaC crown will hinge on the outcome.

The i.aroons, coached oy Glenn i?.».oef' kartinj were bewildered
by an Indiana team that could shift into just about any offensive
formation and dropped behind in the first period when the Aces
climaxed a long drive with a three-yard smash by halfback Bailey to
take a six point lead. Hawkins converted ana the scoring activities
were ended in the first _. ariod.

The i*Iartin-men seemed to snap out of their lethargy in the
second quarter when John Ruzich of Johnston City intercepted an Ace
pass in Evansville ' s 45-yard stripe and, with the help of a block by
Bob Johnson of Du Quoin, raced the 55 yards for a touchdown. Bret
McGinnis of Carbondale threw fear into the hearts of local fans as
he booted a strike through the crossbars and Southern tied the score
7-7.

It was a fairly even battle during the third period as neither
eleven could dent the other's ^oal line, however, in the last quarter
Evcuiisviile climaxed another power drive witn a ten-yard ran by
Ossenberg co cross the karoons _pal line lor the second time. The
point was added b Hawkins and Evansville led 14-7.

The last Hoosier counter came when the Aces worked the sleeper

play. The iaaroons \ ^re wise to the pl^y but halfback Gene Stotlar

of Pinckneyville slipped and f ell as he tried to create it up, and

Bailey completed iris pass ot ids ri0ht end fort he score. Hawkins

converted for the final score of the day*

The Southern tackling was off ana the Evansville backs usually
went five or ten y..rds a iter being hit. Stellar lint play v; as shown
by Jim Lovin of Benton and Charlie Beinz of Gillespie for the iiaroons,
while Johnson broke off the prettiest peice of broken field running

Release Tuesday

Carbondale, 111., Nov. 27 -A realignment of coaching power at
Southern Illinois Normal University effective immediately placed Lynn
C. Holder, instructor in physical education and assistant coach, in the
position of head basket ball coach, Athletic Director Glenn "Abe"
Martin announced today,

Martin himself has been coaching basket ball and last year took
his charges to the championship of the Illinois Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference and to the title at the 'Kansas City Intercollegiate
Basket Ball Tournament.

''Holder was brought here this summer with the idea of eventually
making him head basketball coach,5' Martin explained.

"We had originally planned that I would continue to coach basket
ball this season, since we thought last year's championship squad would
be intact. However, it now develops that only one of last year's first
string players will be able to start the season, so it looks like a
good time for Holder to take over and develop his own style of play
with an entirely new team."

Martin said the idea of bringing Holder, a former Southern football
and basket ball star, b'ack as basket ball coach was one originally
planned by the late William McAndrew, Southern's former athletic
director and coach.

Holder played both football and basket ball under McAndrew for
four years, 1931-35, and won four letters in each sport. He also made
the all-conference teams in the then-;'Little Nineteen" conference, once
in football and twice in basket ball.

Holder takes over the coaching job in Southern basket ball at an
auspicious time, when the school is the title defender after the most
successful season in the University's history.

To build his first team he has five lettermen of former years,
veterans who learned their tricks under Holder's own mentor, Coach
Mcnndrew, and a whole galaxy of freshmen.

His only hold-over from last year is Leedio Cabutti of Johnston
City, all-conference star.

Holder has had plenty of coaching experience since his graduation
from Southern in February, 1935. For seven years he was director of
physical education and coached basket ball and football at Lawrenceville
High School. He entered the Navy in 1942, and had two years at the
Chapel Hill (N.C.) Pre-Flight Training School, where he was battalion
commander and coached football, basket ball, swimming, boxing and other
sports.

From 1944 until his release to inactive duty in March, 1946, he
was stationed at San Diego, California, at the Naval Hospital and the
Naval Training Center, where he was assigned to administrative and
rehabilitation and physical education work.

He came to Southern in June, 1946, as instructor in physical •
education and assistant football and basket ball coach.

Holder obtained his master's degree in physical education from
Indiana University, and has done work on his doctor Ts degree at the
University of Illinois. He is married to the former Mary Wayman of
Murphysboro, and has two children, both boys, 11 and 3 years of age.

"Of course I'm happy to be back at Southern," he said in commenting
on his new assignment , "and I'm pleased over the large squad that is out
for basket ball. VJe had about 115 men turn out for practice, plus about
20 football players who could not report until football season was over.

"I can't guarantee another championship," he laughed, "but we do
have a promising team, and I'm looking forward to a fine season."

them — are the newest acquisition of the Southern Illinois Normal

b University Museum.
a collection gathered in Southern Illinois over a lifetime by the
late George Halleck Center of DuQuoin has been presented to the
University by the collector's son, Virgil Center of Benton.

"This collection is a very fine one of eggs of birds native to
this region," declared John Allen, Museum curator. "With the few eggs
we already had, this gift will make our collection almost complete.

"We hope to obtain a permit to collect other eggs to fill out the
few remaining gaps,"

The Center collection represents eggs of hundreds of species of
birds of this region, from the tiny hummingbird, whose e^,g is little
larger than a Navy bean, to the hawk, wild turkey and owl. The largest
egg in the collection is that of the wild turkey, and measures 2 3/4
inches in length, and 1 3/4 inches at the widest point in diameter.

Mr, Center, collector of the bird eggs, was a mine superintendent
at Du.;uoin, who had a life-long interest in the outdoors, according to
Iir. Allen. He became an authority on wildlife of this region, and was
a taxidermist of more than ordinary attainment. One of his notable
catches was a Carolina parrokeet , which he killed up near Hallidayboro,
and mounted with skill.

The University Museum represents substantial collections of
historical relics; documentary materials; pioneer household furnishing,

night .

Playing their best game of the current season, the Maroons, under

the Maroons dropped behind as six-foot eight-inch center Ed Ma caul ey
began to hit, and onlj a fast last minute drive saved the southerners
from a worse drubbing.

Oliver Shoaff of Mt. Carmel, was the big gun for Southern in

.^asping. Johnny Sebastian of Odin was the number t wo man for the
Maroons with 15 points, while Bob Colborn of Flora had nine.

they began to whittle the Southerners' lead and only some fancy ball-
handling by Shoaff and Leedio Cabutti of Johnston City, saved the day.

associate professer of Latin-American Studies at Southern Illinois
Normal University, to accept a research position in the U. S.
Department of State and the appointment of a replacement for him were
announced today by the University president's office*

Dr. McNicoll was on wartime assignment with the Department of
State, and had asked for permanent assignment before accepting the
position here. His new assignment deals with research on economic
resources of Latin-America*

His sacessor is Joseph R. Baxter, who holds the master pf arta
degree from Duke University and has completed all of the resident
requirements at Duke for his doctor's degree in Latin American history.

With four yeqrs of high school teaching behind him, he spent two
years teaching in the Army kifer Forces historical program and
collaborating on the history of the AAF Eastern Flying Training Command*

Since his release from the aaF, Baxter has for the past six-weeks
been doing research work in Washington, D. C, on his doctoral
dissertation,

"We regret to lost Dr. McNicoll' s services," University President
Chester F. Lay declared today, "but we realize that permanent
appointment to the staff of the U.S. Department of State is a fine
opportunity that would be difficult for him to pass up. Actually, his

going to this new position from Southern will afford us and our new
Latin-American Studies program considerable recognition.

"We are happy that we could obtain a young historian with such
high recommendations as Mr. Baxter to take over Dr. McNicoll's work
here for the remainder of the year.

Carbondale, 111. Dec. Lackadaisical passing and Kentucky's
height made the difference Monday night as the Southern Illinois
Normal University cagers went down to their second defeat of t he season,
this time at the hands of Western Kentucky b/ the score of 62-4$»

Approximately 1,700 fans jam-packed Tilghman gymnasium in Paducah
to watch Kentucky, who is out to regain its high national rating, blast
the faltering Maroons, National Intercollegiate defending champions*

The Kentuckains' attack was led by "Sleepy" Spears, six-foot
four-inch forward, who poured 21 points through the hoop, and Johnny
Oldham, six-foot two-inch forward, who counted ten times.

Gene Hall of Galatia led the Maroons' scoring with 12 points, while
Johnny Sebastian of Odin rang the bell for eight. Oliver Shoaff of
Mt. Carmel had seven tallies as did Bud Wilson of Fairfield.

The "Tiptoppers1' , as the Kentucky team is sometimes called because
of their height, started off with a bang, as they scored six points
before the Maroons could pry the lid off of their basket, and through
most of the half, they had a ten point lead. However, during the last
four minutes in the first half, the Southerners showed some of their
old form, and led by Hall, they crept to within four points of the
leaders, leaving the floor trailing 1&-22.

Southern fans, of whom there wore quite a few, expected great
things during the second half, but before a minute had passed, it was

».,

apparent that the Maroons had slipped back into their early-game ways,
and the Kentuckians built up a lead never to be topped,

A feature sidelight of the game was Kentucky coach, Ed. Diddle,
who carries a towel with him all during the game, and at one time
during the current contest, when a "Tiptopper" had received a cut lip,
was seen to dry real tears from his eyes.

The Maroons racked up 11 foul shots out of 24 chances while the
Kentuckians made 13, irom the same number of chances*

Next Saturday the Maroons will journey to New Orleans to do
battle with Loyola University, one of the highlight trips of their
season. The Maroons have built up a friendly rivalry with the New
Orleans men, having been defeated by this crew in the Kansas City T . ,
National Intercollegiate Tourney in 1944-45 season in the finals, and
last year gaining revenge by eliminating the Loyolans in the third
round of play in the same tournament, after whipping them earlier in
the regular season.

The Southerners next home game is set for December 18 when they
play host to Arkansas State.

Carbondale, 111., Dec. 11 — A tota 1 of 2,483 students have
enrolled for the winter term at Southern Illinois Normal University
here, the Business Office announced Tuesday at the close of the second
day of registration*

This figure compares with a final registration of 2,718 for the
fall term, but is not far below " the 2,570 who had registered by
the end of the third clay last fall*

Students started cla sses Wednesday morning, Dec, 11, but late
comers ma2r continue to register through December 20, and it is
thought that late registrants will probably boost the total for this
term to around 2,600 or a little more*

In normal times at colleges and universities throughout the
country, a decline of some 10 to 15 per cent usually occurs from
the fall term to the winter term, University officials pointed out.
On the basis of present indications, the drop here this year will be
much smaller than the usual trend.:

Carbondale, 111,, Dec. -The Southern Illinois Normal University
ca^e Maroons will attempt to get on the victory trail again next
Saturday night as they travel to the deep south to take on Loyola
University of the South, at New Orleans,

The Maroons have had rough going so far this season, as each team
they have met has been gunning for them, as a result of their
winning of the National Intercollegiate Tournament last year.

With only on© member of last year's aggregation available, that
being Leedio Cabutti of Jonston City, the Maroons opened the season
with a double-header against two manufacturing teams and looked great,
downing them both by rather one-sided scores.

However, their encounter with St. Louis left their followers with
the ideq that they could use some of the members of last year's stellar
aggregation. The following night against Washington University, even
though the Maroons came away- victorious, fans were sure that the Marooon*
werenot the same calibre as last year, at least not this early in the
season, ^

On Monday night, when the Maroons took a 14-point defeat at the
hands of the Western Kentucky Teachers, they looked listless, their
defense was haphazard, and their passing was loose.

However, Head Basketball coach Lynn C. Holder said that he had
scheduled these tough contests purposely to iron out the wrinkles
r. . . ;i

'J;

developed by many of the returning lettermen in the service.

Men making the trip to New Orleans are: Gene Hall of Galatia;
Oliver Shoaff of Mt. Carmel; Bob Colborn of Flora; Quentin Stinson
of Eldorado; John Sebastian of Odin; Bud Wilson of Fairfield;
John Ruzich of Johnston City; Leedio Cabutti of Johnston City;
Charles Goss of Marion; Bill Millspaugh of Norris City;

Carbondale, 111. December -The Southern Illinois Normal
University Reserves, victorious in their five starts of the season,
will tangle with the Wpodmen of America, a local five, in a benefit
tilt sponsored by the Carbondale Lions for the improvement of the
marking of streets of the City, on Thursday night. Game time is
£ p.m.

Last Tuesday night, the Bees took two contests from teams from
Marion, 111., downing Spillertown in the curtain-raiser 55-44,
and the Marion Mules 54-33 in the finale.

Bud Wilson of Fairfield was the high point man in the first
tilt with 11 markers, Johhny Ruzich of Johnston City was high in
the second game with 13 points.

Carbondale, 111.,.. Dec —"Codling Moth Control— a Study of{
Growers' Practices," bulletin by Stewart C. Chandler, field
entomologist of the Illinois Natural History Survey and consulting
entomologist of Southern Illinois Normal University, has been released
by the University of Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station, and
contains valuable information for the Southern Illinois fruit grower.

Chandler's plan of investigation included observation of 13 apple
orchards, all in the three-brooded area of Southern Illinois, where
codling moth control is normally more difficult than it is farther
north. One was near Belleville, one near Centralia, and the other 11
were about 40 miles north of Cairo in Uni rr. ani Johnson counties.
Some were selected for study because "-he growers usually or
frequently had difficulty in securing codling moth control; others
were chosen because the growers normally had good control. The study
attempts to determine what practices make :°o?. ... ncd codling moth control
and what for poor control.

Some of the topics discussed are amount of infestation just before
harvest; effect of weather, spraying, and sanitation on carryover; effec
of types and number of spray machines and of spraying methods on control
effect of various spray schedules and of spacing en control; factors
causing good poison deposit-
In the appendix are spray schedules and a note on 1945 and 1946
tests with DDT.

Invitational Christmas tournament will be held at 7 pm Christmas
night, Southern Illinois Normal University Basketball Lynn C.
Holder has Announced.

The ten Maroons named to represent Southern at the tourney will
try to regain their last week's form which might have been slightly
dulled at the Christmas dinner table, and then they will leave
Carbondale at 4 am on the following morning.

The Southerners are entered in the classic with three other
teams; the Solorado Aggies, who will be the Maroon's first round
opponents' on Friday night, Rockhurst College, and St. Mary's of
California.

The ten men to make the trip, besides Holder and Athletic
Director Glenn "Abe" Martin, are: Johnny Sebastian of Odin; Oliver
Shoaff of Mt. Carmel; Quentin Stinson of Eldorado; Bob Colborn of
Flora; John Ruzich of Johnston City; Bud Wilson of Fairfield; Bill
Millspaugh of Norris City; Gene Hall of Galatia; Charles Goss of
Marion; Leedio Cabutti of Johnston City.

The Maroons have been looking like last year's champions during

the past week, as they pasted Arkansas State 72-31, and took a

57-54 thriller from Indiana 3'tate.

With the return of six-foot four-inch Stinson, second team all-
rebounds
American last year, to the lineup, the Southerners are controlling/

much more than in the earlier contests, thus giving Shoaff and

Sebastian time to concentrate on their passing, which they did last

week when they gave local fans an exhibition, the equal of which has

not been seen in these parts for a long time.

Also rounding into top-notch shape are Ruzich and Hall, both

showing up well under fire in the Indiana utate game.

Following the Yuletide tourney, the Maroons will be at home to
Evansville College on January 7, Western Illinois State Teachers on
the 11 (Conference), and Southeastern Missouri ^tate on the 14,
before traveling to Evansville to return the Hoosiers call on the 16.

The housing committee, composed- of several faculty members, student
veterans and non-University veterans organizations, has examined the
credentials of 115 applicants for the apartments, and has ranked the
applicants in order of their need*

Only two of the applicants were ineligible on the basis of need,
according to Van a. Buboltz, housing project supervisor, and Mrs. Mabel
Pulliam, housing counselor.

The remaining 14 applicants have been placed on the waiting list,
and will be moved up in order as vacancies occur. Hereafter, applicants

I who meet eligibility ree qui r erne nts will be placed on the waiting list in
order of their applications, Buboltz said.
Latest advice to University officials from Robert West, Federal
Public Hjusing authority supervisor on the project, is tnat 45 of the
apartments will be ready for occupancy in about two weeks,, out not
before January 3»

I The first 45 veterans and their families are therefore expecting

view to their use in development of a ceramics industry; (3) collection
of Southern Illinois proverbs; (4) a survey of the educational resources
of Southern Illinois; (5) a compilation of the history of the colorful
''showboats1'1, many of which have plied the Mississippi; and (6) a
research project on 20th century drama.

To encourage research, the University has during the past two years
allocated funds to provide materials and assistance for faculty members
who wished to conduct original investigations.

During the next biennium, if the University's request for a four
and one-half million dollar appropriation is approved by the General
Assembly, larger quantities of money will be available for regional
and other research, President Lay said. Among the contemplated new
fields for investigation are horticulture, anthropology and archaeology,
botany, museum materials of all kinds. It is proposed to secure
research specialists in these subjects if funds can be obtained.

Research projects autnorized this week will be carried on by Dr.
Walter B. T.7elch, associate professor and chairman of the botany
department; Ben P. Watkins, assistant professor of art; hiss Frances
Barbour, associate professor of English; Dr. Douglas E. Lawson,
professor of English; Dr. Harold E. Briggs, professor and chairman of
the history department; and miss Winifred Burns, assistant professor
of English.

Dr. Welch will study the effect of naphthaleneacetic acid and its

socium salt on the flowering of peaches. He has already tvd.ce applied
the acid to three plots of trees in three orchards at different :a
localities from Belleville to Metropolis, and plans to make two more
applications.

Watkins will test specimen samples of Southern Illinois clays to
determine their suitability for casting, pressing and other methods of
fabrication into pottery and other ceramic forms; their firing
characteristics; adaptability for glazes and other finishes; creative
and industrial possibilities. He proposes to compile trie material he
accomulates into several articles and a book.

Miss Barbour will collect folklore expressions that are indigenous
to this area for inclusion in a Dictionary of American Proverbial Lore
which is being compiled by the American Dialect Society.

Dr. Lawson, with Dr. Robert Browne of the University of Illinois,
has been assigned the work of surveying and reporting on the educational
resources of the lower 16 counties of Southern Illinois as a part of
the cooperative study of Southern Illinois being conducted by Southern
Illinois Normal University and the University of Illinois.

Dr. Briggs, who has already written extensively on the history of
early theatrical ventures in this country, will compile a history of
showboats, a subject that has never before been attempted. He explains
that Southern is ideally located for the conduct of such a study, since
many of the showboats have traveled up and down the Lississippi River
near here.

Miss Burns will conduct an investigation into the sources of
inspiration for the playwright Pinero's women characters, the material
she acquires to be written as an article for publication in a scholarly
periodical.

Carbondale, 111., Dec. — Prairie Du Rocher's famous
La-Gui-Annee celebration on New Year's Eve this year will be
permanently and completely recorded in pictures and on records by
John W. Allen, curator of the museum of Southern Illinois Normal
University.

The La-Gui-Annee ceremony has bo^n observed in Prairie du Rocher
since 1722, and for several years has been led by Captain Noah Duclos.
As the custom has been carried on in America on Ncvv Year's Eve in the
oldest French settlements up to the present date, a band of
masqueraders composed of the young men of the town gather at sunset
in some secret place dressed in grotesque costumes, and from there,
steal upon the homes to surprise the residents by their serenading.

The song, La-Gui-Annee, is repeated to t he accompaniment of
fiddles until they are invited in and served with refreshments. Before
midnight the townspeople have joined the band, and all gather in the
town hall where the ball is opened by selection of the masqueraders
of partners from the ladies in the audience, which is a great honor.
This dancing and feasting is carried on until the bells ring for early
mass celebration on New Year's Day.

The origin of the ancient song La-Gui-Annee dates back to the
history of the durids in Brittany, and was brought "to America by
the first emigrants from France. While the druidical worship
dominated, Brittany people performed the practice at the end of each
year of gathering gui, or mistletoe, for the New Year, the druid
priests ringing as they discharged this sacred duty in groves of
oak trees. Hence came the name Gui-Annee, from gui-de-lT an-neuf ,
meaning mistle — of--the year--new.

Allen, museum curator, says that the University already has one
recording of the song sung by the ^0-year-old father of Percy Clerc
of Prairie du Rocher, made by Allen, and David Mcintosh, associate
professor of music at Southern.

On the trip which Allen will make to the old French settlement
this week, he v/ill make arrangements for complete sound recording and
pictures of the entire celebration. He will be assisted by Julius
Swaync, University s tudent from Du Quoin who is Allen's assistant
in the museum.
