Carbondale, 111., July - If you want to know why teachers
continue to choose the teaching profession in spite of the highly-
publicized low salaries — here are the reasons.

A survey of 7$ of the 134 June graduates of Southern Illinois
University1 s College of Education shows:

More than two-thirds chose teaching primarily because they like
boys and girls and like to work with thorn.

One-seventh, because they feel a responsibility for furthering
the democratic processes.

One-seventh, because teaching offers an opportunity for service to
their country and their community, or an opportunity for community
leadership.

While only two of the graduating seniors gave as his No. 1 reason
for choosing teaching the fact that it "provides a regular income,
with short hours and long vacations," 70 others said this factor had
some influence on their choice.

Two of the old stand-bys in the earlier days of the American
teaching profession — "to get a job close to home" and "I've nothing
else to do so I might as well teach"--took a back s^at with this year's
graduating class.

■."..'.. None of- the- graduating seniors chocked either of these -r-e as ons
as their No. 1 motive in entering the teaching profession, although
40 admitted the !'job close to home" had some minor influence in their
choice, and 43 confessed they had no other1 compelling vocational goal.

These same students, asked to check the personal qualifications
a good teacher should have, ranked the following as the most important

Good judgment regarding the needs of children at various ages.

A belief in freedom ei|d worth of each growing personality.

A knowledge of subject matter.

Good physical and mental health.

Faith in the worth o£ teaching.

Other characteristic^ or qualification!! they considered important
for the teacher included: good citizenship In the school and in the
community; a skill in evaluation; a hapoy disposition; ability to
establish friendly relations with people of tlte community; ability to
have fun in extra-curricular activities with children; correct speech

Carbondale, 111., July 1$ - Presence of large American oil
companies in Arabia is a help to the Arab cause, a noted Syrian woman
educator said here last night.

Mrs. Alice Kandaleft Cosma, Syrian government representative on
the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, lectured here
under the auspices of the Southern Illinois University entertainment
and lectures committee, on the subject "Current Problems in the Arab
Middle East.1'

Mrs. Cosma declared that the Arab problem represents a
crystalization of the problems of the 'world at large, and that Arabian
problem can be solved only by the United Nations through international
understanding.

"Power politics can destroy us," she declared.

She pointed out that at present Great Britain cannot leave Egypt
and the Sudan because she needs a place for her armies and a trade
Link with the Far East; the French cannot get out of North Africa
Tor they would lose their .empire.

"If England and France released control, Russia would move in,"
;he said.

Citing that Arabia contains 30 per cent of the oil reserves of
the world, and produces 20 billion barrels per year — approximately the
same as the United States produces — she explained that Arabian oil, a ,
together with the strategic geographical position of the near and
Middle East, makes this area one of prime concern in any United Nations
effort to solve international relations among the major powers.

"Oil is no less than bread to humanity," she observed.

Discussing the Palestine problem, Mrs. Cosma termed this "the
great sore spot" in the Arab countries, and the major cause of lack of
unity.

"Arab countries — Northeast Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Tripolitania,
North Africa, Morocco and Lybia — concede that they have been awakened
by the power, education, and culture of the western world," she said.

"They do not forget that they were once the "bridge where all
civilizations converged and the cradle of three great religions of the
world — Christian, Jewish, and Islam.

"Therefore they have a right to consideration of the problems
facing them today."

The Jewish argument that "we were here first, this is the seat of
our religion, and we have made many internal improvements," offers no
excuse for creating a state within a state, Mrs. Cosma asserted.

"In the first place, the Arab was living in Palestine before
Christ's time," she pointed out. "Palestine is also the seat of the
Arab's religious culture.

"If internal improvements are a reason for conquest, then the
United States could exploit all countries, even England, and set up
new states."

The Arab sees the solution to the Palestine situation in a simple
light, she said,

"For centuries the Jew and the Arab have lived together in
Palestine," she explained. "They could continue to do so if a Jewish
state were not desired. Proportional representation is so largely
Arab that there is no question of the Arab's maintaining control of
Palestine.

"The Arab is willing to accept the Jews already in Palestine,
but does not feel that they should have to accept immigrants merely
because they desire to come.

"The United Sta tes," she reminded, "does not allow all who
desire to do so to come to this country and take up citizenship. If
they did, practically all Europe would be on your shores."

She quoted Rabbi Burger, who in his book Jewish Dilemma,
expressed the view that the Jew does not represent a race, but a
religion, and therefore should not desire to set up a separate state.

Arabia's chief problems are (1) independence, and (2) unity,
Mrs. Cosrna insisted, and "when the world is organized on an
international basis, the Arab world will have most of its problems
solved automatically."

Carbondale, 111., July - With a new director at the helm,
the Little Theatre at Southern Illinois University will present as
its summer production Thornton Wilder Ts "Our Town," in Shryock
Auditorium July 31 •

Dr. Theodore Skinner, associate professor of speech, who joined
the University faculty in June, will direct the play. Dr. Skinner
last soring completed work on his doctor's degree at Northwestern
University with emphasis on theatre work. He was formerly on the
faculty of Kansas State College.

"Our Town" was a Pulitzer Prize winning play a number of years
ago. Its challenge to tht amateur theatrical group, according to
Dr. Skinner, lies in the fact that all the action takes place on a
bare stage, with no stage sets and few properties. The cast, therefore,
must rely on character study to depict their roles.

Action of the play centers around life in a small Mew Hampshire
town, Grovers Corners, about the turn of the century. It tells the
story of two families, the Gibbs and the Webbs — their daily life, the
love and marriage of George Gibbs and Emily Webb, and the tragedy as
death breaks the family circle.

Taking the leading roles in "Our Town" are Charles Weber, Jr. ,
of Cairo, as "The Stage Manager"; Lewis Hammack of Sparta as "Dr.

A group representing the Egyptian Fire-Fighting Association
called on University officials this week to plan arrangements for the
school.

Such subjects as equipment, fire prevention, fire department and
community obligations in prevention and control of fires, salvage,
and other topics will be studied. Fires originating by explosives,
electrical hazards, and arson will be discussed by experts, as will
the legal aspects of fire service*

Carbondale, 111., July 30 - Greater exchange of young students
and young professional people, an international language, and ample
information about UNESCO would prove three powerful tools for building
international good will and understanding, a young scholar from Mexico
declared here tonight.

Senor Jose Luis Reyes, enrolled this summer at Southern Illinois
University as holder of the Rotary Club international scholarship
here, spoke under the auspices of the University's foreign language
department, in which he is studying and teaching as a gradLiate student.

Reyes urged the United States and Mexico to borrow desirable
qualities and customs from each other.

For the past two winters, he has lived in American homes, studied
in American schools and colleges, and attended American churches,
under the "Experiment in International Living, i! a plan which is
fostering exchange of students and young professional people between
the United States, Mexico, Colombia, Guatemala, and Europe.

His earlier impressions of this country — gained largely from
American movies and from American tourists in Mexico — have been
altered drastically since he has lived in this country, he said.

3. More emphasis on romance in courtship — art, music, etc.

4. More leisure in living, more time for rest, recreation, and
gracious living,

5. A greater spirit of happiness — a better balance between
ambition and achievement.

6. Opportunity to study and appreciate the Spanish and Latin-
American culture.

7. Opportunity to see Mexican films in translations.

Reyes urged that all citizens of both countries should become
familiar with the speeches of President Aleman and President Truman
on their recent exchange visits, and quoted the Mexican president's
words: "Both our peoples have a like desire that all men, of all
races and all parts of the world should understand each other.*.. If
prejudices have been an obstacle (to inter-American cohesion), let us
make the education of our children and of our youth a liberation from
that inexcusable obstacle."

He quoted also President Truman: "We are united by more than the
comman procedures and agencies of Inter-American cooperation. All our
peoples have a common belief which we call .'democracy. T Democracy
has a spiritual foundation because it is based upon the brotherhood
of man. We believe in the dignity of the individual. T;/e believe
that the function of the state is to preserve and promote human rights
and fundamental freedoms. •• eThe United States and Mexico are working
together for the mutual benefit of their peoples and the peace of the
world . "

Carbondale, 111., Aug. - A $2,000 scholarship fund to be
awarded for a two-year period to some worthy, needy Southern Illinois
University student has been \~r esented to the S.IoN.U. Foundation,
Gen. Robert W. Davis, chairman of the foundation's executive board,
has announced.

The gift of Mr30 H. H. Evans of 5237 Washington Blvd., St. Louis,
the scholarship is established in memory of her son, Murray C. Evans,
killed in action in World War I.

"It is to be given in two $1,000 grants to some deserving student,"
he explained. "This makes it the largest scholarship ever to be
established at Southern. It is an extremely generous award, and one .
for which the University is deeply appreciative."

The foundation board has already asked the University committee
on scholarship, standards and honors, of which Dr. Vera Peacock,
professor foreign languages, is chairman, to nominate five top-ranking
students. The board will then investigate these nominees and make
the award.

Mrs. Evans is already giving scholarship assistance to students
at Harvard and the University of Missouri in memory of her son, but
because he was born in Southern Illinois, at Anna, she decided to
make the $2,000 grant to some student at Southern, Gen. Davis said.

Carbondale, 111., Aug. - Well more than 2,000 Southern Illinois
adults stayed at home and still studied under instructors from Southern
Illinois University last year — double the extension class enrollment
for the preceding year,

A total of 2,027 students took University courses by extension
in their '-own home communities during the period July 1, 1946 to
July 1, 1947, according to the annual report of Raymond H. Dey,
director of the Extension Service.

In addition, an uncounted number-- estimated at more than 500--
listened regularly to the "course by radio'' which the University I.
Extension Service put on the air for four months during the spring.
This radio program consisted of lectures on "India" by a University
professor, heard by organized groups of Southern Illinois church women*

During the past year, Southern conducted 47 courses in 3$
different communities of Southern Illinois.

Enrollment in Southern-sponsored extension courses during the
past year has been more than double that of 1945-46, when 30 courses
were conducted with a total enrollment of 91$ students.

The previous high was in 1940-41, when 33 courses were conducted
with a total enrollment of 1,7$3« At that time, evening courses
conducted on the campus were included, since these were then conducted
by the Extension Service.

Carbondale, 111,, Aug. - Southern Illinois citizens--here's how
you can rate your own school system and see whether school
reorganization would benefit your child's educational opportunities,

A new bulletin issued by the College of Education at Southern
Illinois University — entitled "Some Proposed Goals for School
Reorganization in Illinois" — includes a checklist of desired qualities,
activities and facilities, so that each school may be rated "good,"
%oderate" or "poor" on each point.

Prepared by Dr, Howard £, Bosley, associate professor of education,
and Dr, Earl Hall, assistant professor, the bulletin was prepared for
the individuals who want to know what school reorganization is all
about.

Earlier bulletins have been issued primarily for school officials
and county survey committees.

Major divisions in the checklist include the curriculum, staff,
community relationships, school plant and site.

Among the points listed are: the ba sic utilization of pupils'
skills; attention to the individual pupil's own interests; variety of
printed materials, audio'-visual materials, scientific apparatus; use
of community resources; special facilities for handicapped children;
comprehensive health examinations; sports and recreational activities;

effective homemakin^: instruction; job- training and general education
for students who do not 30 to college; competent, broadly educated
teachers; effective supervisors; desirable teaching conditions and
salaries; cooperative relations with the community; adult education
and educational services for the communtiy; attractive, functional,
safe school plant.

Answering the question, "How large must the administrative unit
be before a reasonable attainment of these good practices is possible?",
Drs. Bosley and Hall pointed out that the unit must be large enough to:

1. Attract a capable educational leader as superintendent.

2. Provide stimulating conditions which will result in educational
progress.

3. To attract and hold capable teachers.

4. To utilize economically the full-time services of competent
educational leaders as supervisors.

5. To permit flexibility in planning for the future in terms of
now-unpredictable conditions.

6. To provide reasonable equalization of financial support.
While recognizing that factors other than size may have a bearing

on t he effectiveness of the school program, the authors stressed that
"all studies indicate that the larger districts possess many
advantages," and cited authorities advocating 40- to 50-teacher
schools as the minimum units to provide economically the desirable
educational opportunities.

Carbondale, 111,, Aug. - Southern Illinois University is
spending the "dog days" of August getting its house in order for an
estimated 2, $00-2, 900 students at the opening of the fall term Sept . 15.

No students are being turned away because of housing difficulties,
according to Firs. Mabel Pulliam, housing counselor. Dribbles of
available rooms keep coming in from day to day, enough to care for new
applicants.

The veterans housing project on Chautauqua Street — 104 apartments-
is full for this fall, and 145 applications have been filea for the
63 apartments in the veterans housing project at the Illinois Ordnance
plant, Mrs. Pulliam said. It is expected, however, that all of the
applicants "who really want to move in" can be accommodated. Moreover,
an additional 27 apartments may become available in this project soon.

Organized houses for students, including the 120-capacity
University-owned Anthony Hall for girls and the 60~capacity Baptist
Foundation boys1 dormitory, are full. This group of houses also
includes five fraternities, three sororities, one large house for boys
and six co-ops or large boarding houses for girls. A total of 435
students can be accommodated in the various organized houses.

Several hundred other students are expected to commute from their
nearby home towns. Last spring 575 students commuted.

The apartment situation for married students is perhaps the most
critical aspect of the housing problem, since last spring 5$6 married
students were enrolled, and only 413 of these had homes or apartments
here in Carbondale, the remainder commuting.

Living costs have shown a slight increase during the last year,
Mrs. Pulliam pointed out. Room rents have not risen— remaining in the
$2.50 to $5 per week range, with the average about $3 or between $13
and §14 pen week— but food costs have risen.

Meals at boarding houses run about $0 to 55 cents for lunch or
dinner, Mrs. Pulliam said* Men students estimate their food costs at
about $1.50 per day, while girls spend $1.25 or §1.35, making the
monthly average run to about $55 or $60 per month for room and board.
This figure is reduced somewhat for the students who go home over
week-ends,

"Costs for room and board at Southern are still lower than at
any other college or university I know of," Mrs, Pulliam declared.

Estimates of the number of students who will probably enroll
at Southern this fall run slightly higher than the 2,71$ enrolled last
fall, according to the Registrar's Office.

A total of #21 new freshmen had applied for admittance as of
August 20, and it is expected that this figure will reach 900 or
perhaps 1,000 by the opening of school Sept, 15.

While the freshman class this fall may be smaller than last
year's record-breaking one of 1,550 (including both new freshmen and
second- and third-term freshmen), total enrollment is expected to be
larger, since the swell of last year's large freshman class will hit
the sophomore level this fall.

Normally approximately one-half of the freshman cp_ass may be

expected to stay in school for the sophomore year, but Registrar's
Office officials hastily pointed out that "this is not a normal year,"
and perhaps two-thirds or more of last year's freshmen may return as
sophomores this fall.

Making a conservative estimate, the Registrar's Office is
currently predicting a student body of 2, #00 to 2,900, or only a
slight gain o^er-the 2,71$ last fall.

Meanwhile, educational facilities of the University are being
strengthened. New classroom, library and office space is being rushed
to completion, officials "keeping their fingers crossed" that the
temporary structures will be ready for occupancy by Sept. 1$.

Two of the six barracks from the War Assets Administration are
being converted into a supplementary library reading room, three are
being remodeled as classroom buildings, and one as an office building.

Approximately 3*000 new books have been ordered b ■ the Bookstore
for the fall term*

Twenty-four new faculty members have been secured, including
several who began their duties during the summer session, and others
are in process of appointment.

Four faculty members who were on leave of absence last year have
returned to their positions. Leaves have been gra.ited to six for
1947-43. Nine faculty members have resigned, two who were on one-
year appointments completed the terms of their service, and one has
retired, leaving a net gain of 10 over last year.

The curriculum is being expanded by the addition of new faculty.
Departments of sociology and philosophy are being created; new
additions have been made to the faculties of the speech, government,
men's and women's physical education, physics and astronomy, and •
zoology departments,

Carbondale, 111., Aug. - A freshman Week for the approximately
1,000 new freshmen who will enter Southern Illinois University this
fall will be held Sept. 10-13 before registration on Sept. 15-16.

Planned to give new students a chance to get acquainted with
college life and to obtain the undivided attention of counselors in
planning their college work, Freshman Week will be a combination of fun
and "serious business."

This is Southern's first Freshman Week, although this pre-

Carbondc.le , 111., Aug. -Student employment practices at
Southern Illinois University have undergone an extensive revision and
working students this year will receive an average of approximately
10 cents per hour higher wages than last.

For many years Southern has been noted for the opportunities
given students to ecm-while-they-learn, by making available large
numbers of part-time jobs on the campus.

Increasing amounts have been made available for student help
during the past two years, and last year more than 500 students held
part-time jobs, 426 of them working for the University itself.

This summer, all University student jobs have been studied,
reclassified and the type of work re-evaluated by the Student
Employment Service, according to Dr. Marshall S. Hisksy, director.
The rate scale has been raised from a floor of 35 cents to 40 cents
per hour, and a ceiling of 74 cents to 83 cents.

Under the new job classification system, students are given full
credit for training and experience in terms of higher wages, and
inconsistencies in wages paid to students working in different branches
of the University have been eliminated.

Under the new system and with the new wage scale, it is expected
that the average job will pay approximately 10 cents per hour more

than last year, Dean Hiskey said.

Last year, the average student worker received 40 cents per hour
and worked 75 to 100 hours per month. This year, the average will
be nearer 50 cents per hour.

Student jobs on the campus include stenographic work in University
offices, radio technicians' jobs, mailing, assisting in testing
programs, ticket-taking, etc., campus photography, janitorial and
grounds work. Many students are assigned to responsible duties in
University administrative offices.

In addition to campus jobs, many students hold jobs off-campus,
working for downtown business houses or householders. The Employment
Service reports increasing calls for student workers from businessmen
and other off-campus individuals and firms.

Carbondal.e, 111*, Sept. 3 - To the natural academic hazards they
face at registration, students who come to Southern Illinois University
this week for Freshman Week and next Monday for fall term registration
must add traffic hazards as well*

Main highway traffic today became temporarily routed by State
Highway officials through the University campus, to divert the
northbound flow from Grand Avenue, where contractors are busy
excavating for the University1 s new heating and electrical tunnel
system.

How long the campus will be used as a highway is not certain, but
contractors and highway officials have assured University authorities
that the job will be rushed. Crossing of Grand Avenue should require
only a matter of weeks, weather permitting, it is believed.

Meanwhile, precautions are being taken that the highway route is
plainly marked for pedestrian students, and special officers will be
stationed at intervals to protect the walkers, according to Dr. Neal
Phelps, director of the University physical plant.

Diversion of traffic will also eliminate campus parking, and
steps are being taken to provide additional parking areas adjacent to
the campus.

Excavation for the new steam tunnels is going forward rapidly on
the main campus in an effort to complete installations before winter
sets in, so that the campus may be re-seeded with grass and shrubs
and restored to its former unmarred beauty by spring.

Carbondale, 111., Sept. -Expansion of three departments,
additional personnel for six other departments, a new building for the
foreign language department, recognition for the whole college in
national educational circles—these are the attainments of the College
of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Southe -n Illinois University during the
past year.

Three of the college's 11 departments will start the fall term
with new faculty positions created and filled, thus giving them the
largest faculties they have ever had. These new positions are in
chemistry, government and sociology.

(The department of English last year had built up a faculty of 13,
compared to its previous peak of 12. With two replacements this year,
for a retiring member and for a teacher on sabbatical leave, it again
has 13 teachers this fall. )

In all, 13 new faculty members are joining the staff of the

college this fall. The new personnel includes in associate professor

of chemistry, two associate professors of English, an instructor in

languages, an associate professor and an assistsuit professor of

geography, an associate professor in government, an assistant professor

of history, an associate professor and an instructor in mathematics,
an associate professor of physics, and two associate professors of
zoology.

A substantial number of part-time instructors and graduate
assistants will also serve in the various departments of the college
this year as they did last, in order to help care for the large
enrollment.

There still remain a few key positions in the college which must
be filled, and appointments will be made as soon as qualified teachers
can be found, Dean Abbott said.

A bacteriologist, a geologist and a philosophy teacher are
urgently needed, and it is planned to establish instruction in
anthropology and archaeology as soon as possible. It is hoped that all
of these positions can be filled within the current biennium.

The foreign language department, long overcrowded in the Main
Building, this fall will move into its new home in one of the
residences recently purchased by the University, at the corner of
Grand and Illinois Avenue. These quarters will make it possible to
carry on the instructional work of the department more effectively,
since language records can be played without disturbing other classes.

This department this fall will have on its staff as a part-time
faculty assistant Senor Jose Luis Reyes from the National University
of Mexico. Senor Reyes who came here this summer as a graduate student
and holder of the first International Scholarship given by the_ 149th
District of Rotary, will teach conversational Spanish.

Release Saturday 9-12-47

Carbondale, 111., Sept. 13 - Registration for the fall term at
Southern Illinois University will open Monday morning, sept. 15, at
9To?clock.

Between 2800 and 3,000 students are expected to enroll by the
time latecomers sign up. Some 1200 freshmen have already been accepted
[ for admission, about 800 of them reporting several days ago for the
first pre-registration Freshman Week.

For four days these new students have been finding out all the
things they need to know about the Uni "ersity--how to register, what
courses they must take, what grades are expected of them, how to use
the library, what services the University offers them.

In addition, they have been getting a good strong dose of the
social side of college life. Many of them were brou3ht to the campus
by their families on Wednesday, and one of the big events on the
Freshman Week calendar was the "family picnic dinner5' out under the
trees on the campus that first day. The parents who came obviously
enjoyed the opportunity to see the campus and meet the faculty
members with whom their youngsters would work for the next year.

Parties, mid-morning snacks, singsongs and other recreational
activities have lightened the strenous ''business sessions" of Freshman
Week, and most of the newcomers say they feel a lot more confident
about starting their college career.

Attention: Sports Editors

Carbondale, 111,, Sept. 1$ - With more than a week and a half of
twice-a-day practices behind them, the Southern Illinois University
Maroons begin regular afternoon football practice sessions today.

Heavy scrimmages are scheduled for this week as Coach Glenn "Abe"
Martin looks for the starting combination to face ->cott Field in the
Maroon opener here Sept. 27.

Martin was non-committal about the prospects for a winning season.
However, he did indicate that the haroons probably will be ewual to
last year's team, which finished second in the Illinois Inter-Collegiate
Conference,

Men like Jim Lovin of Benton and Charles Mathieu of Eldorado
provide the key to the maroons T hopes this year. Both were outstanding
freshman tackles a year ago, and have returned this season to
high-light a powerful line. With capable players two and even three
deep in the guard, tackle and end positions, there is little doubt about
the strength of the Southern forward wall.

Only center remains a real problem, and with Bill "Cotton"
Cosgrove of Benton, a former ^uard, working there, it should not long
remain a worry. Quentin Stinson of Eldorado, long on height but short
on varsity football experience, is also being drilled to relieve the
center shortage,

The backfield constitutes another worry at this early moment.
All-conference star Bill i-ialinsky of Flora is probably the
outstanding candidate for backfield honors. A brilliant passer,
capable kicker, and hard-driving ball carrier, Malinsky will provide a
real threat.

Dick Seelman, also of Flora, a quick-starting, smooth-running
halfback and passer will report this week, after an injured ankle
mends. Other halfbacks returning from last season who will probably
see considerable action are leorge Beltz of Marion, Elusive Bob
Johnson of DuQuoin, and Roy Ragodale of Carbondale. At fullback
sophomore Don Riggs of Fairfield has the inside track to a starting
position against Scott Field.

Coach Martin says that he has been impressed by the performance
of scat-back Bob Proctor of Zeigler, who is a freshman. Two others
expected to provide a lift to the backfield are holdovers from the
1946 B squad, George bawyer of Woodriver and Pat Kelly of Murphysboro.

Bret McGinnis of Carbondale, a reserve guard, has been practicing
his skillful place-kicking toe, and will probably take care of
extra-point tries as he did last year.

Carbondale, 111., Sept. -For many years the name of Southern
Illinois University1 s football team has been the Maroons, but this
year rumor s^ys it should be changed to the "Miners," or "Diggers,'*
or perhaps even "Mudhogs."

The reason: the University's expansion program. A new power
plant is being constructed at the south end of the practice field and
this deep ditch, to hold heating tunnels, has been excavated down the
west side of the practice gridiron.

Players reporting for practice must detour around this ditch, and
then cross a range of outsize molehills of raw, yellow dirt. Having
passed these ordeals, they find themselves thoroughly warmed-up and
ready for serious drills.

Regardless of the narrow cramped area of turf left for practice,
head coach Glenn "Abe" Martin is working his men at top speed in
preparation for their first contest against the Scott Field Army Air
Field here Sept. 27.

Having lost several fast backs from last year's conference

runner-up team, Martin is searching for a smooth-working backfield.

The line apoears in good order, since it is not only large, but is also
fairly fast. Early indications are that Maroons will deperd primarily
on power for their offensive efforts.

ATTENTION: SPORTS EDITORS

Carbondale, 111., Sept. - t5The line does all the work, but
the backfield gets all the glory." So goes an old football saying,
and certainly there is a grain of truth in the statement.

Southern Illinois University has a very capable group of players,
who, as linesmen, may not get much glory, but who will certainly be
all important in the success of the 1947 i'laroons.

From tackle to tackle Southern will field what is probably one of
its best lines in history.

At left tackle will be Charles mathieu, a 205 pounder from
Eldorado. Powerful as a bull, mathieu has earned a letter at Bucknell
in addition to the one he earned last fall for his able work for the
Maroons.

Jim Lovin of Benton is holding forth at the left guard position
where he will team with Mathieu in trying to stop power plays to
the right by other teams. Lovin also tips the scales at 205 pounds,
and like mathieu again, he starred last year in his freshman season,
being placed on the All-Conference team and also being named "most
Valuable Player" by his teammates.

Aggressive, cocky Bill "Cotton" Cosgrove of Benton is the man

over the ball. An All-Conference center in 1944, Bill played an

outstanding guard last fall, and should be even better this year now

that he has returned to his old position.

Carbondale, 111., Sept. -Cooler weather has given added incentive to the
intense practice drills which are on the docket for the Southern Illinois University
Maroons this week as they gird themselves for their season opener Saturday afternoon
against Scott Field here.

Head Coach Glenn "Abe" Martin stated that he knew nothing about the Ann.;/ team,
Good or bad, they will be a mystery to the Maroons until after the opening kickoff.

At Southern's first full scale scrimmage last Friday the Martinmen looked
powerful, but slightly ragged. This raggedness, always present in early scrimmages,
will probably be largely eliminated by the end of the week when the players have
become more adjusted to each other.

That the line is strong, a fact already well known, was clearly demonstrated by
the scrimmage, so attention is being given to the backfield.

Bill Malinsky of Flora, last year's captain, gave proof that he is ready to
hold down the quarterback spot in good fashion. His sharp passes clicked well to end
Eob Colborn, also of Flora, indicating the possibility of a Flora to Floia touchdown
combination.

Right halfback George Sawyer of Wocd River, a converted fullback from the 1946
"B" squad, showed that he has gained speed, and, with his wealth of power, maj develop
into a hard driving power runner.

Bob Johnson of DuQuoin, playing left halfback, proved that he has lost none
of his elusiveness. Johnson's outstanding characteristic is his ability to follow
his blockers, a skill which is often overlooked.

Carbondale, 111., Sept. - Long Signal drills aid funda-
mental practices in blocking and tackling have high-lighted
football practice this v;eek at Southern Illinois University as
Coach Glenn "Abe" Martin whirs his squad into form for their

opener against Scott Field here Saturday.

Amor g t1 ose reporting late for rractice was Bun^or Jones of

West Frankfort. In 1945 Jones played regularly with the University of

Illinois at tackle and also did their place-kicking. For the Maroons

the 220-pounder will operate at end.

Charlie Heinz of Gillesrie, stellar center of last year, has

been moved to the backfield, probably the left halfback position.

Agile and powerful, 190-pound Heinz was transferred from the almost
over-manned line to the somewhat under-manned backfield in a move evi-
dently designed to balance line and backfield strength more evenly.

Although line positions seem to be pretty well set for the Scott

Field game, it is probably that Coach Martin will do a lot of experi-
menting with his backfield, shifting personnel! often in an effort to

find an effective combination.

Early indications are that Bill Malingky of Flore will draw the
opening quarterback position, Bob Johnson of DuCuoin the left halfback
assignment, Georee Sawyer of Wood River the right halfback duties, and
Don Riggs of Fairfield the fullback slot.

Other backs ready for early use £ re Roy Ragsdale of Cerbondale,
George Beltz of Marion, Lick Seelmar, of Flora, Don Cross of Christopher,

Carbondale, 111.,. Sept. -The Southern Illinois University Maroons will
open their schedule Saturday at 2:00 p.m. when they square off against Scott Field
at McAndrew Stadium in Carbondale.

The Army men will find in the Maroons of Coach Glenn "Abe" Martin a team which
is in excellent physical condition, ready to knock the lid off the season with zest,
Scott Field still rem ains a mystery to the Maroons.

Although Southern sports a strong line, as well as a capable backfield, there
is no great weight among the starters. Instec.d of hugh bulks of fat, the Maroons
will generally range between 190 and 200 pounds, lean and hard. Heaviest starter
will be John Corn of Benton, 210 pounds at tackle, while the lightest will be
halfback Bob Johnson of Du^uoin, 155 pounds.

The backfield weight for the Maroons will be just under ISO, with two men,
George Sawyer of Wood River, halfback, and Don Riggs of Fairfield, fullback, going
over the 190 pound- mark. Quarterback Bill Malinsky of Flora weighs 170, making
Johnson the featherweight of the crowd.

Passing and kicking duties will fall on Malinsky, whose aerials are always a
dangerous threat. Targets for Malinsky' s passes will be ends Bob Colborn of Flora,
and Galen Davis of DuQuoin, who both have flypaper-fingertips.

Many other backs will probably see considerable action. Among them are:
Charlie Heinz of Gillespie, recently converted center who has looked excellent in
practice sessions; Roy Ragsdale of Carbondale, a dependable, speedy runner; George

Beltz of Marion who may serve as a spot runner; Don Cross of Christopher, a hard
smacking fullback; Dick Seelman of Flora, an outstanding runner last year who
recently has been switched to fullback; and Fat Kelly of Murphysboro, a scrappy
little quarterback.

Tackle positions will be held down by two veteran stalwarts, Charles Mathieu
of Eldorado and John Corn who will have operating beside them hard-hitting guards

Carbondale, 111., Sept. 29 -"The Evansville Purple Aces are
probably the best visiting team to appear in Carbondale in my
experience as a coach or as a player," Head Coach Glenn "Abe" Martin
of the Southern Illinois University Maroons declared today in discussing
Southern's next opponent.

This team, a veritable power-house , will meet the as yet only
partially tried Maroons here Saturday, October 4. Last Friday
Evansville opened its season by battling a strong Western Kentucky
eleven to a scoreless tie.

Martin's Maroons found a soft touch in the Flyers of Scott Field
last Saturday. Scoring early, often, and easily, the Southern team
racked up an impressive 5$ to 0 victory without getting up a strong
sweat.

On the third Maroon play end Robert "Bunker" Jones of West
Frankfort raced 63 yards on an end-around play for the first touchdown.
Bob Johnson of DuQuoin, Southern's open-field running ace, followed
soon with a 45-yard, dipsey-do run through the Scott Field secondary
to put the Maroons safely in the lead.

In the second period the Maroons followed with two more touchdowns.

One was a l6-yard-pass from quarterback Bill Malinsky of Flora to

halfback Bill Wilkinson of West Frankfort, and the other a double-

lateral going from Malinsky to Dick 5eelman of Flora to Charlie iTHigh
Heels5' Heinz of Gillespie who crossed the double marker.

In the second half, five more touchdowns were made. George
Sawyer of ;/ood River went over from the eight, Johnson scored again,
this time from the nine, Bill Malinsky raced 67 yards on a quarterback
sneak, Heinz scored again from the 25, and Dick Seelman passed 33 yards
to the end zone where Galen Davis of DuQuoin made a magnif icient ,
story-book catch, to close the scoring.

"Bunker" Jones was successful on four of his nine placement tries
for the point-after-touchdown.

The Maroon T-formation worked deceptively during the entire game,
with Quarterback Bill Malinsky handling the ball smoothly and passing
accurately.

Charlie "High Heels" Heinz, former center who appeared as a
halfback for the first time and who scored two touchdowns, showed good
speed, great power, and real elusiveness.

Southern will field a fast, powerful eleven against £vansvillcTs
strong Aces this Saturday at Mc Andrew Stadium. After loosing a hard
battle last November to the Evansville crew, the Maroons are out for
revenge, and both teams are definitely "loaded for boar."

Carbondale, 111., Oct. 1 -Red fire trucks, ladders, chemical
apparatus and other firefighting apparatus are drawing the spotlight

away from the operations of excavation machinery at Southern Illinois
University this week.

Students and faculty pause now to inspect the equipment the
Egyptian Firefighters Association have brought to the campus for their
four-day school of instruction, under way this week. Meanwhile only
the most confirmed "unofficial inspectors1' continue to stand watch over
the gouging of giant shovels scooping out earth for the University's
new system of steam tunnels.

The firefighters — 75 of them — are going to class from 9 to 5 daily,
to learn all the newest techniques in fighting blazes.

Tonight the public is invited to witness an evening of fire-magic,
staged in Shryock Auditorium on the University campus by the State
Fire Marshall's Office. The performance is entitled "Smokie's
Shenanigans and Sorcery."

Among the subjects the firefighters are studying this week are

fire prevention, the fire department's obligation to the community,

the community's obligation to the fire department, fires in explosives,

chemistry of fire, electrical hazard, salvage, legal aspects of the

fire service, arson and the fireman, care and maintenance of

equipment, suggested activities for fire prevention week, and inspections

Carbondale, 111., Oct. -To help business men, industrialists,
doctors, lawyers, engineers and other specialists learn how to speak
authoritatively on their respective fields in public, Southern Illinois
University has opened a new extension course, according to Raymond H.
Dey, director of the Extension Service.

The first class in this subject, "Business, Professional and
Technical Speech," is bein7; offered this fall at Cairo, under the
direction of Dr. P. M. Larson, associate professor of speech.

With enrollment limited to 30, in order t o provide adequate time
for each class member to gain experience and receive personal attention,
the class meets each Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock at the high school.

For many years, Southern's extension classes have been conducted
almost exclusively for teachers, and have been given by the College
of Education, Mr. Dey said, but incre: singly courses are being developed
by the other branches of the University for the Extension Service. The
new speech class at Cairo, for example, is being given by the College
of Vocations and Professions.

Carbondale, 111,, Oct. -Led by a "Little All-America" tackle,
the Evansville Purple Aces invade Mc Andrew Stadium here tomorrow
afternoon at 2:00 p.m. when they face as host the Southern Illinois
University Maroons.

Neither team has been defeated, although Evsnsville played to a
scoreless tie against Western Kentucky last Friday. The Maroons
easily defeated a very weak Scott Field team in McAndrew Stadium last
Saturday, 5<3 to 0.

The annual Boy Scout Day will be celebrated this Saturday with
hundreds of Boy Scouts from all over Southern Illinois planning to
attend the Evansville-Maroon game. These boys are fortunate because
the game they will see will probabl}r be one of the best of the season,
inasmuch as the strong Evansville eleven is probably, one of the best
teams ever to appear here .

Outstanding star for the Evansville team is Hawkins, right tackle,
who was selected on the "Little All-America" team in 1946. Logal,
Evansville' s quarterback, is the man to watch in their backfield.

For the tussle, the Maroons will start the same as they did
against Scott Field with one or two possible exceptions. Dick
Seelman will work at fullback, since "on Riggs has suffered a

Carbondale, 111., Oct. 1 - Journalism credit for work on The
Egyptian, campus newspaper at Southern Illinois University, will be
given to students under terms of a campus publications policy
authorized by the University administration and the advisory committee
of the Teachers College Board, University President Chester F. Lay
announced today.

With the establishment of a journalism department this fall, The

Egyptian will become more closely integrated with the educational work

of the department and will be used as a means of giving students

laboratory work in reporting, other types of newspaper writing, editing,
and advertising.

Although non- journal ism students may work on the paper, all

responsible positions, such as editor, business manager and departmental
editors, will be filled by journalism students, elected by the
Student Publications Council from lists of e ligible candidates
approved by the journalism department. The council is a joint faculty-
student group, which under the new plan will be advisory to the
chairman of the journalism department, rather than to the President,
as was formerly the case .

"By operating The Egyptian as part of our educational activities,
we hope both to provide better laboratory training in journalism and to

Bob Johnson, who shared scoring honors In the opener with Heinz,

right half position. Johnson is a jitterbug ball carrier who is
dangerous from any spot on the field.

Dick Seelman has drawn the starting fullback assignment after

Carbondale, 111., Oct. - Final enrollment for the fall term
at Southern Illinois University has climbed to 2, $50, compared to
2,718 last fall and 1,064 in the fall of 1945, the Registrar's
Office Reports.

There are 1,999 men students in school this fall, and $51
women students, a ratio of well over two men to each girl, in
contrast to the predominance of co-eds in the fall of 1945 > when there
were 735 women students and only 329 men students enrolled.

In addition to the 2, $50 students attending classes on the
campus here, Southern is conducting extension courses in more than
a score of Southern Illinois communities. These courses, according
to Extension Service Director Raymond H. Dey, have a total
enrollment of 1,363, making a grand total fall term enrollment of
1.213* Last fall, there were $$0 students enrolled in extension
courses ,

According to the breakdown of on-campus enrollment made by the
Registrar's Office, 1,347 of the fall term students are enrolled
in the College of Education, 665 in the College of Liberal Arts and
sciences, 757 in the college of Vocations and Professions, and oi

These totals for the various branches of the University compare
with 760 for the College of Education, 253 for the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences, 51 for the College of Vocations and
Professions, and 26 for the Graduate School. ■■• m

There are 1,148 freshmen enrolled this year, compared to 1,550
last fall and only 539 in the fall of 1945* The extraordinarily
large freshman class last fall is attributed by the Registrar's
Office to the large influx of veterans, coupled with the fact that
many of the smaller high schools of this area graduate seniors
only every other year, rather than every year.

The peak of veteran enrollment was apparently reached last
fall, since enrollment of former servicemen and women is slightly
lower this year than last. A total of 1,3^5 yeterans — 1,375 men
and 10 women— are enrolled this fall, compared to 1,509 in the fall
term last year. In the fall term of 1945 only 90 veterans had
enrolled.

Last fall's large freshman cro-> is reflected in the substantially
larger sophomore class this year, which numbers 8&5 compared to 010
a year ago. In the fall of 1945 sophomores numbered only 256.

There are 277 seniors enrolled this fall, 424 juniors, 10

taking additional under-graduate work), and 13 unclassified students.

Carbondale, 111., Oct. - After losin \ a hard, bitterly fou.lit
game last Saturday to the Purple Aces of Evansville College 7 to 0,
the Southern Illinois University Maroons are drilling this week in
preparation for their first away-from-home p;ame against the Sycamores
of Indiana State Teachers College of Terre Haute.

Indiana State has split even in two games, defeating Valparaiso
University 13 to 0, and dropping to Illinois State Normal University
20 to 7 in the opener. If the Maroons can bounce back from their
defeat by Evansville, they may defeat the strong "Sycamores," but
a hard, close contest is expected.

Evansville Ts mighty team dominated play during most of the game,
piling up 13 first downs to the Maroon* s five. During the first half
the Purole Aces i\rere especially effective, getting nine of their first
iowns .

Late in the second quarter Evansville finally scored after
threatening constantly earlier. Fullback Morris Riley bulled over
from the four-inch line on fourth down to climax a sustained drive of
90 yards. Tackle Bob Hawkins kicked successfully to conclude the
game's scoring.

Before Riley's game winning plunge, Southern's gallant line had
repelled the stronger visiters five times within their 20-yard line.

Southern threatened seriously only twice, ±-.ach time they were
stopped by the gun, once at the end of the first half, and the other
time at the end of the game. (more)

"High Heels" Heinz of Gillespie lost back to the 20, but two tries by
Don Riggs of Fairfield put the ball on the evansville four-yard line,
first-and-goal, when the half ended.

T.7ith only three minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Maroons
took the ball on downs on their own 20. Bill i-ialinsky connected on
three straight passes, two to Bob Colborn of Flora, ana the other to
Don Riggs, olacing the Maroons on the evansville 35 •

A long touchdown pass failed, and George Beltz of Marion was
stopped on a flanker pass as the game ended.

Outstanding for the Maroons was the play of three men, Bob Colborn
of Flora, who played brilliantly at end, Bill "Cotton" Cosgrove of
Benton, who scrapped effectively, and Robert "Bunker" Jones of T.:est
Frankfort. Jones was used strictly for defensive work bac king up the
line, but there he did valuable work all afternoon.

The absense of John Corn of Benton, a strong tackle, from the
Maroon lineup handicapped the Southern efforts. Corn was injured in
the dressing room shortly before game time when he slipped and gashed
his head.

concentrated on playing everyone, thereby providing much needed
experience.

Harrisburg carried the remaining distance for the score.

The Maroons second touchdown came at the beginning of the third
quarter when quarterback Jim Mstcalf of kurphysboro returned the
Cape kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown behind beautiful blocking.

Cape Girardeau's only score came in the third period, when a

Standouts in the Maroon line were Dante Patterozzi of U'est

Carbondale, 111., Oct. - Indiana State Teachers College of
Terre Haute will face a healthy Southern Illinois University Maroon
eleven when the two meet at Terre Haute Saturday afternoon in Memorial

Stadium.

With the exception of a few minor pains, the Maroons of Coach
Glenn "'Abe7' Martin seem to be in excellent physical condition.

John Corn of Benton, right tackle who missed the Evansville
game as the result of an injury sustained in the dressing room sh -rtly
befor.. game time, reports that he expects to be ready for action by

Saturday.

The cut he received on his forehead, which was closed by several
stitcher, is mending rapidly, and Corn has been handicapped only to
the extent that he has not yet worn his helmet in practice.

Don Riggs of Fairfield, who saw very limited action against
Evansville, has been running well in practice, and appears to be in
nearly tip-top condition once again for heavy chores as fullback.

Last week when Riggs was injured, Dick Seelman of Flora took over
the fullback slot. Now that Riggs has returned to form, Seelman is on

the sick list.

Dick pulled up with a sore riTht hip in practice, caused by an
injured nerve. However, Seelman' s lame hip is coming along very well,
and he will probably be ready to play against the Sycamores of
Indiana State.

Carbondale, 111., Oct. - A game, alert crew of Indiana State
Sycamores came from behind to defeat the Southern Illinois University
Maroons 21 to 6 at Terre Haute last Saturday.

Southern scored easily in the early minutes of the first period,
but after Indiana State came back with two quick touchdowns in the
second period, the Maroons could not click offensively.

The game, played in sultry 80 degree heat, was char;, cterized by
the ability of Indiana State to capitalize on Maroon misrlays. Of the
three Sycamore touchdowns, two were direct results of Southern bobbles,
one a f unble , and the other an intercepted pass.

Early in the first quarter Bill Wilkinson of West Frankfort,
Maroon halfback, ran an Indiana St^te punt back from the Maroon /+8 to
the Sycamore 36. Wilkinson gained two more, and then Bill Malinsky
of Flora passed to Joe Hughes of West Frankfort on the 20 yard line.

Don Riggs of Fairfield lugged the ball around left end, behind
good blocking, to the one yard line, and then scored on the next rlay
when he crashed over center. Robert "Bunker" Jones of West Frankfort
kicked wide in the attempt for the extra point.

Indiana State bounced back in the second period by recovering an

Faroon fumble on the Southern 30. Graves passed to Brady for a first

down on the sixteen, but two successive losses and a recovered fumble

threw the Sycamores back to the 25.

Max Woolsey, Indiana State's brilliant running halfback, took

over from the 25 and danced to the one-ysrd line. The Maroon line-
held for one down, but Faught, Indiana State quarterback, crashed
center f or the touchdown on the next try. Bob Chester kickec the first
of his three successful extra point tries to send the Sycamores into
a 7 to t lead.

Late in the same period the Maroons stopped an Indiana State
threat when Bob Etheridge of Fairfield, Southern right guard-, recovered
a fumble on the Maroon three y£rd line.

Malinsky kicked out of bounds on the Southern 31. V/oolsey once
again broke loose for the Sycamores, running to the three before he
was stopped. Quaterback Faught passed into the end-zone where his rass
was received by end Stan Sajkc, Sycamore captain.

The third Indiana State, score came in the third period, when they
stuck from their own 31 yard line on a long Graves to Baran pass good
for the necessary 69 yards.

Outstanding work for the Maroons was turned in by end Bob Colborn
and guard Bob Etheridge.

Flaying at St. Louis, the Southern "3n squad was defeated by
Washington University's "3,f squad by a 20 to 0 score. All three
Washington scores came in the first half.

Carbondale, 111., Oct. - Tension has mounted hi ~h this week
among the followers of the football fortunes of the Southern Illinois
University Maroons.

After losing their second straight game last Saturday to Indiana
State Teachers College, the Maroons have become dead serious.

Hard, long practices, the most extensive yet this season, are
being held under the direction of Head Coach Glenn "Abe" Martin, as
the Maroons prepare themselves to face Western Illinois State College
next Saturday at Macomb.

The Western Leathernecks, who are undefeated in three starts, with
victories over Illinois College and Quincy and a tie with Carthage,
will find the Maroons weaker physically than they have been at any
time previously this season.

An X-ray has disclosed that Robert i?Bunkeri? Jones of West
Frankfort, who has been performing yeoman chores backing the Maroons
line, has a chipped vertebra in his neck and will be out for the
season.

Two other major injuries have befallen the Martinmen. Bill
Wilkinson of West Frankfort, halfback, and J. L. Gross of DuQuoin,
guard, have also been injured and will be out from three weeks to the
entire season, depending on how fast their injuries knit.

Wilkinson came up with a torn knee cartilage in scrimmage Monday.
How soon he will be able to play again is lar_ely a guess.

Gross fell off the rings in his gymnastic class, injuring his
shoulder, and is expected to remain on the sidelines for about a
month.

After the poor showing the Maroons made against Indiana State,
Coach Glenn ;'Abe"' Martin ordered scrimmage for Monday, concentrating
primarily on stepping uj the Maroon offense, which has _ained only
one touchdown in the last two games.

Martin indicated after the practice that he was encouraged by the
team's work during the scrimmage, inasmuch as the offense looked
better than it had at any previous time.

Carbondale, 111., Oct. 17 - At 1? : 30 today the Southern Illinois
University Maroons left for Macomb where they face the Leathernecks of
western Illinois State College tomorrow afternoon.

The football squad, accompanied by the Maroon cross-country team,
which will run a dual meet against the Western harriers, departed from
the steps of Shryock Auditorium under the spell of a rousing pep rally.

This game, which is Western's Homecoming contest, marks the
beginning of league play in the Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference. Last year the Maroons finished second in the I. I. A. C,
going undefeated in conference play until the last game when they fell
to Northern's Huskies.

In the We stern-Southern game played at Macomb last year, the
Maroons came away on the long end of a 19 to 6 score. This year
pre-game dope indicates a close battle.

Considering only won and lost records, Western has a definite
edge with two victories and one tie against the Maroons' one victory
and two setbacks.

However, the Maroons have faced much stiff er competition in losing

to Evansville and Indiana State than Western has found in defeating

Illinois College 40 to 0 and Quincy 20 to 6. A not too strong Carthage

team battled Western to a 13 to 13 tie.

This game is very important to-" the Maroons, who are very eager to
get back to winning-ways after losing their last two tries to
Evansville and Indiana State, and they will be ready to throw everything
in their bag at the Homecoming hopped-up Western eleven.

Early in the week there was almost nothing but bad news from the
Maroon camp, but Wednesday good news finally came.

Further investigation into the neck injury of Robert "Bunker"
Jones, powerful Maroon line-backer, revealed that no vertebra was
chipped during, the Indiana State game, as previously reported. Jones
will start at end against Western.

However, Dick Seelman of Flora, sophomore fullback who was injured
in the Evansville game, and did not see action against Indiana State,
continues to be on the ailing list with an injured hip, and probably

will not make the trip to Macomb.
Probable starting lineup:

LE Robert "Bunker" Jones of West Frankfort

LT Charles Mathieu of Eldorado

LG Jim Lovin of Benton

C J. Pieron of Murphysboro or Bill Cosgrove of Benton

RG Bob Etheridge of Fairfield

RT John Corn of Benton

RE Bob Colborn of Flora

Carbondale, 111., Oct. - With Don Riggs of Fairfield scoring
in the third quarter, the Southern Illinois University Maroons regained
their winning ways by defeating the Leathernecks of Western Illinois
Stat,, College at Macomb last Saturday in the Illinois Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference opener.

After fighting on almost even terms with the home eleven for the
first half, the Maroons concentrated heir power long enough in the
third period to enable Riggs to plunge over from the one-yard line
just before the quarter ended.

In the absense of a sustained scoring punch, the saving feature
for the Maroons was the defensive work of the line. In the first half
Western gained 69 yards by rushing, but in the last two quarters the
Maroon line held their opponents to a net yardage of one yard.

Bob Colborn of Flora played his usual brilliant defensive game
at end, and contributed the Maroon offense by snagging two passes f:?om
fellow townsman Bill Malinsky.

At the other end, Joe Hughes of West Frankfort turned in his best
performance this season. The end play of Colborn and Hughes was so
effective that Western failed to gain one yara around end during the

entire afternoon.

The Maroon offense was concentrated in two men, Bill Malinsky
who passed to Colborn and Hughes, and Don Riggs who ran powerfully all
afternoon. Malinsky completed five out of eight passes for a total of

94 yards and Riggs., plunging the Center of the line almost exclusively,

Lugged the ball 69 yards in 15 tries for an average of 4.6 yards per try.

In the middle of the third quarter the Maroons began a sustained
tiarch from the western 45. With Rig^s crashing the center for most of
he yardage, plus an 12 yard pass from Malinsky to Colborn, the Maroons
)arned a first down on the Western eight. However, four cracks at
he line found George Sawyer of Wood River two inches short of a
souchdown on fourth down.

Bob Johnson of DuQuoin ran the Western punt back to Western 33.
lalinsky passed to Joe Hughes who made a ont hand catch to give, the
4aroons ^ first down on the Western 21. Charlie Heinz ran to the
L5 and Don Riggs made it a first down on the eight.

Riggs plunged to the four, Sawyer to the three, and Riggs again
:o the; one. On fourth down Riggs smacked over left guard for the
touchdown.

Robert !?Bunkurif Jones of West Frankfort kicked the extra point.
Jack Stephens of West Frankfort, who reported for practice on
Monday, ran well during the time he was in the game, Stephens also
did the punting chores for Southern in brilliant fashion, averaging a
net 42.5 yards per try.

This coming Saturday the T-laroons, now definately on the comback
trail, face the Huskies of Northern Illinois State Teachers College
at McAndrew Stadium in Carbondale in the Southern Illinois University
Homecoming football game.-

Last Saturday Northern tied Illinois State Normal University 7 to
7, in an I. I. a. C.tilt. Early dope said that Normal was the t~am
to beat for the conference championship, which indicates that Northern,
traditionally a strong foe, will prov.de plenty of opposition for the
Homecoming game.

Carbondale, 111., Oct. - With the Northern Illinois State
Teachers College Huskies scheduled to make an appearance at McAndrew
Stadium for the Homecoming football game Saturday, Oct. 25, the
Maroons of Southern Illinois University have been practicing stepping
up their offensive power.

Head Coach Glenn i?Hbe,? Martin indicated that he expected a number
of touchdowns in the game by both teams.

Most dangerous offensive threat from the Huskies will be the spiral*
of outstanding passer Don Fortunato, All-Conf erence halfback last
season.

Teaming with Fortunato in the Northern scoring punch is power-laden
Earry Hennigan, a great running fullback, whose dashes through the line
spelled defeat for the Maroons last year when Northern won 10 to 0.

In the game last year, Hennigan was the only man to score, gaining
10 points on a touchdown, extra point and a 17 yard field goal.

For the Maroons, things are looking up. They have much more
confidence in themselves this week than they did before defeating
Western at Macomb last Saturday 7 to 0.

Dick Seelman of Flora has recovered from his injured hip which
had sidelined him during the last two games, and should be ready for
plenty of action for his hard running and long passing abilities.

During the early week much of the Maroon practice time was spent
on running out kinks and working on pass-defense,

Carbondale, 111., Oct. - nccording to comparative scores, the
uskies of Northern Illinois State Teachers College are four touch
downs better than the Southern Illinois University Maroons, which would
indicate a sad Homecoming for Southern's football fans.

However, it is well known that comparative score ratings of teams
are highly inaccurate means of determining the probable victor.

The Maroons lost to Indiana State by two touchdowns, 21 to 6.
Indiana State was defeated by Illinois Norma}, by two touchdowns, 20 to
7, and Northern tied Normal 7 to 7.

The Southern team which defeated Western 7 to 0 last week could
hardly be recognized as the same team which lost to Indiana State.
In seven short days, the Maroons had made a great comeback.

Another factor which often tends to make a lie of comparative
scores is team spirit--the will to win. although Northern undoubtedly
wants to win badly, the Maroons have more concrete reasons for fighting_
for victory.

Most potent of all factors driving the Maroon squad's spirit is
memory. For three consecutive years Northern has defeated Southern
in the closing game of the season, each time costing the Maroons a
conference championship v Those defeats have not been forgotten by the
Southerners.

ulso, the Southern team is eager for a conference championship,
and they think that this is the year I

Psychologically, the team is in perfect condition. Fresh under
their belts they have the memory of a win last week, but in the event
of excess cockiness, mere whistling of "On the Banks of the Wabash" is
enough to kindle flaming eyes.

Physically, the Maroon team is in slightly better condition than
it was last week at Macomb. No serioi 3 injuries have been contracted
in the last week, and with the exception of Bill Wilkinson, of West
Frankfort who was injured two weeks ago, the charges of Head Coach
Glenn "Abe" Martin are universally in top shape.

Carbondale, 111., Oct. - One chapter in a long and colorful
educational history is being closed at Southern Illinois University
this week, and another is being opened. ' - ~i- ■' •'

There have' been many such chapters in the 72 years since Southern
Illinois Normal University opened its doors for the first time.

The prologue, of course, told of the tireless efforts of school
teachers, principals and superintendents, of many parents of young
boys and girls, and of public-spirited citizens at large, to establish
a school in Southern Illinois to educate the young people of this area.

The Civil VTar--the War between the States--was over. Southern
Illinois needed schools and school teachers to help educate the
children of this area as the country set its face toward reconstruction.

It was a long and expensive journey to colleges and universities
in the northern part of the state, ana a normal school located in
Southern Illinois would prove a great boon.

Even then, oou'hei ' Tllinoisans looked forwarJ to the time when
the region's yet-unborn college would become a great educational
institution. So instead of asking the General Assembly to establish a
teachers college, they sought a "normal university/' in the canny hope
that one day the word "normal" could be dropped and a "university" be
born*

In I869, the legislature authorized the establishment of "Southern
Illinois Normal University," and the following year made appropriations
for a building to house the new institution. (more)

By 1874 the three-story structure that was to house the new school
was completed, and on July 1, the building was dedicated and Dr. Robert
Allyn was inaugurated as first president*

The first classes were held in the summer of 1874, with 53
students enrolled. By the opening of the fall term, 150 students had
come to study at Southern.

One chapter in the history of Southern unquestionably tells of
the dramatic burning of "Old Main" and the construction of the present
Main Building, completed in 1687.

as a "normal university," Southern at first offered two years of
college training above the high school, and conforred diplomas upon
its "graduates." By the early 1920fs, its curriculum had grown to
such an extent that students could complete a four-year c olle e course
and obtain a degree.

In 1923, "Southern Illinois Normal University" was accredited by
the American Association of Teachers Colleges, and three years later
was placed on the accredited list as a degree-granting college by the
North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.

All through the years, under Presidents x^ilyn, John Hull, Harvey
W. Everest, Daniel B. Parkinson, and i'enry W. Shryock, southern had.
been growing and assuming greater leadership as a teacher-education
institution, additional buildings were constructed, and enrollment was
growing.

Southern alumni were "making good" as they left the campus, entered
educational service, graduate schools, ana business. They were able
to obtain full credit for the work they had done at southern when they
enrolled for advanced work at the country's best graduate schools.
Many of them attained considerable distinction in their special fields.
Thousands of them filled positions of competence and trust in the

public schools of Southern Illinois. I

Under the administration of President Roscoe Fulliam, 1935-44,

important advances were made in the educational program. The Stadium

M
was constructed partly with alumni contributions, partly with Federal

funds. The campaign to drop the work "normal" from the school's name

gathered momentum, though it was defe ted in the 63rd general assembly.

Legislation was secured clarifying the purpose of Southern, and

authorized the institution to expand its functions in the fields of

liberal arts and sciences and in vocational training, and to offer

degrees in these fields as well as in teacher-education. Graduate

work was also authorized by the Board, and in the summer of 1944 the

first graduate courses were inaugurated. During the war years,

Southern carried on a heavy load of war training and war service on

the campus, and sent more than 2,500 of its students and former

students to the armed forces.

After President Pulliam's death in the spring of 1944, Dr. Chester

F. Lay Was elected to the presidency of Southern, assuming his duties

Januar}^ 1, 1945.

Under his leadership many of the changes and advances planned for

I many years have been brought into fruition. Additional financial

[support has been obtained from the General Assembly, construction has

started on the long-sought physical plant expansion, new colleges have

been organized, other university-scale administrative operations have

been set up, and the work "normal" has been dropped from the school's

j name •

Actually, Southern has been functioning as a university for

several years. Establishment in the fall of 1945 of separate colleges

North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools gave
official educational recognition to the new developments at Southern,
by "promoting" it from the college class to the university class-
composed of institutions offering several degrees, in its list of
accredited educational institutions.

It remained for the 1947 General Assembly to acknowledge
Southern1 s development by enacting legislation officially re-naming
the institution ''Southern Illinois University."

This week, Southern is commemorating its new university status by
holding, in conjunction with its annual alumni Homecoming, two
"University Recognition" ceremonies — the first to highlight the
educational obligations of a university, the second to pay public
tribute to legislators, state officials, prganizations and individuals
who helped all through the years to bring about the change of name*

After an enviable refutation for three-quarters of a century as a
teachers college, Southern now starts as a newcomer in the university
class..

It has a good start, and this week its administration, faculty,
alumni and students are pledging themselves to build its standing as a
university until it occupies an equally sound position in its new
field.

Its assets, as it embarks on its new career, are many: an

enrollment of 2,850 students, an expanding faculty of 203, a rn.L±h

million dollar biennial operating budget, hundreds of acres of land

acquired for an enlarged campus, a building program under way., the

basic university-scale administrative framework constructed, a small

but sound Graduate School established, the beginnings of research work

started, and strong public interest and s upport flourishing..

This week, then a new chapter which might be entitled "Southern--

A University" is being opened as the attention of all of Southern

Illinois is focussed on the "University Recognition" ceremonies*

10-23-47
Carbondale, 111., Oct. 23 - Higher educction should be maintained

for the benefit of society as a whole, and should be an integral part

of the whole social order, a noted educator declared here tonight in

"University Recognition1' ceremonies at Southern Illinois University.

Dr. John Dale Russell, director of the Division of Higher Education,
U.S. Office of Education, was the guest speaker at the first of two
"University Recognition" programs being held in connection with
Southern's annual alumni Homecoming which opened tonight.

He was introduced by University President Chester F. Lay, who
briefly recounted the highlights in the institution's 73-year history,
and cited the stages in the institution's growth toward university
status.

Formerly known as "Southern Illinois Normal University'* , the
school officially became "Southern Illinois University" when the 1947
General assembly enacted special legislation re-naming the school.

Dr. Russell, who in 1946 assisted in securing "promotion" of
Southern from the college class to the university class on the accredited
list of the North Central association of Colleges and Secondary Schools,
spoke on the subject ''''Higher Education for Modern Needs."

He described the various points of view on higher education, but
expressed a preference for "the attitude that higher education is
maintained for the benefit of society as a whole — not for any limited
social group, not for the benefit- of the individual student except as

he is a member of society and is vailing and. able to contribute to its
welfare, not for the sake of pure learning except as our cultural
heritage serves a social purpose in the modern world, not for the
benefit of people with scholarly inclinations who hold faculty
appointments, nor for the mere continuation of certain ivy-clad
institutions—but rather for the general welfare of the whole society
in which we live.v?

The Ordinance for the Government of the Northwest Territory,
passed by Congress in 17#7, he said, carries a clear statement of this
point of view: Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to
good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means
of education shall be forever encouraged. "

On this principle, he declared, the public school system was
established in this country and the sup_ ort of higher education from
tax sources rests upon it.

"If it be granted that institutions of higher education exist for
social purposes, it becomes important to examine critically what the
social order demands in our times, "Dr. Russell asserted.

He summarized these demands for services as follows: preparation
of men needed for the professions; the discovery, conservation and
promulgation of the truth in an unbiased manner; the preparation for
all round living.

•'The range of professions and occupations for which higher
education is expected to prepare practitioners has increased greatly
during the past few decades, and promises to increase even more rapidly
in the future,5' he said.

Elaborating on the demand for the "discovery, conservation and
promulgation of the truth," he pointed out that "th social order of
today seems to realize the necessity of this provision more fully than
ever before. (more)

"The so-called 'academic freedom' of institutions and faculty

members is probably more assured today in this country than in any

previous period of the world's history.

"It must be remembered, however, that academic freedom is protected,
not for the sake of the institutions, nor for faculty members, nor
even for the truthitself , but only because modern society realizes that
it must have centers in which the truth can be investigated and taught
fearlessly and without distortion.

"When a society decides that it wants only a narrow or distorted
version of the truth, as has happened without our memories in some
countries of the world, its institutions of higher education takes on
a very different character.

"We are fortunate to live in a t.me and in a country in which the
right to investigate and teach the truth is well protected by the
general attitude of the people."

Dr. Russell stressed the broadening scope of education as increased
numbers of students enroll and "bring with them wider ranges of talents
and abilities."

"Just now colleges and universities are struggling to cope with
heavy enrollments, brought about in considerable part by the provisions
for veterans' education," he said.

"The question is everywhere raised as to whether or not this is
a temporary bulge or wave, that will recede within a few years after
the veterans have completed the education to which they are entitled.

"as a matter of fact, if there hdd been no war and no 'GI Bill
of Rights' and if enrollment trends manifest between 1934 and 1940 had
continued without change, we would have had almost as many students in
college in 1946-47 as were actually enrolled.

"There is every indication that the present increase is part of a

fundamental movement, and that as lon_. as our social order retains its

present characteristics, college enrollments will continue to increase
toward a somewhat indefinite point of saturation. i?

The range of services rendered in higher education will continue
to increase, and new areas of study will continue to be opened, he
believed.

The readjustments necessary to meet these demands on higher
education ;fare certain to prove disturbing,1' but Dr. Russell said these
changes are gradually coming about, even though "the machinery of the
system creaks a little at the joints."

"I personally have great faith that the adjustments in higher
education d emanded by the modern social order are even now well under
way," he said. "I have no doubt that society will continue to foster
and support progressive programs in its colleges and universities, and
that it will continue to look to them for important contributions to
the general welfare."

Carbondale, 111., Oct. - Preliminary reports have been
submitted to date by 21 county school survey committees in Illinois,
according to a statement issued here today by Dr. Howard E. Bosley,
chairman of a Southern Illinois University committee of consultants
on 'school reorganization.

"If accepted by the people, the recommendations of these committees
will result in the merging of 2,217 districts which existed last year
into a total of only 300 districts in the 21 counties," Dr. Bosley said,
"Most of these newly reorganized districts will be large enough to
operate good schools."

County boards which have recommended a single school district for
the entire county are those of Scott, Brown, Pulaski, Lawrence, Morgan,
and Edwards.

Counties in which the people have already voted to a ccept the
recommendations of their survey committees are Vermilion, Richland,
Scott, Brown, and Jasper, and these five counties are now operating
reorganized schools on a county wide basis.

School survey committees of 72 additional counties will be

submitted not later than December of this year, Dr. Bosley said.

ATTENTION- -SPORTS EDITORS 10-27-47

Carbondale, 111,, Oct. - Fresh from a 20 to 0 victory over
their arch rivals, the Northern Illinois State Teachers College Huskies,
the Southern Illinois University Maroons are drilling this week in
preparation for a road game against Arkansas State this corning Saturday
at Jonesboro, Arkansas.

On a sloppy field, and with driving rain falling most of the time,
j the Maroons hit their offensive potential for the first time this
season in overpowering the Huskies. Southern was so effective on the
ground, in spite of the slippery turf, that it was not necessary to
throw passes, only four being attemped.

The first touchdown came when Southern tackle John Corn of Benton
blocked a Huskie punt from the Northern fifteen yard line early in the
second quarter, and the ball was recovered on the eight by Southern.

On the next play Bob Colborn, brilliant end from Flora, scored on
an end-around. Bunker Jones of West Frankfort was unsuccessful on his
attempted conversion.

Late in the third quarter the Maroons scored again. Jack Stephens
of West Frankfort set up the score with a magnificient 53 yard kick
which rolled out of bounds of the Northern 3 yard line.

Freoligh, Northern halfback, fumbled a bad pass from center, and
the ball rolled out of the end zone for an automatic safety, giving the
Maroons two points and an £ to 0 lead.

Following the safety, the Maroons scored immediately on a
sustained march. Bob Johnson of DuQuoin returned Northern's kickoff
to the Northern 43 yard line. After Charlie Heinz of Gillespie picked
up three into the line, quarterback Bill Malinsky passed to Galen Davis
of DuQuoin to the IB yard line on a pass ruled complete because of
interference.

Johnson went to the 10, Dick Seelman drove to the four, Don Riggs
of Fairfield plowed to the one, and Eill Malinsky leaped over for the
touchdown. Jones' kick was blocked.

* The final touchdown came only minutes later when Bunker Jones
intercepted a pass by Northern's Don Fortunato on the Northern 40
yard line and raced all the way to a touchdown behind good blocking.
Again the kick was a failure, cind the score stood 20 to 0.

Outstanding individual performances by Southern men were
commonplace. The line completely bottled up the Northern ground
offense, throwing the visitors for a net loss of 44 yards for the entire
game..

Time after time men such as Bob Colborn, Joe Hughes of West
Frankfort, Bob Etheridge of Fairfield, Captain Charles Mathieu of
Eldorado, and John Corn of Benton broke through and threw Huskies
back for 10 and 12 yard losses.

For the first time this year the backfield men to Head Coach
Glenn "Abe" Martin operated effectively.

Four halfbacks, Dick Seelman of Flora, who w s making his first
appearance in three weeks, Bob Johnson of DuQuoin, Roy Ragsdale of
Carbondale, who racod 52 yards on one play, and George Sawyer of Wood
River, ran very well.

Bill Malinsky at quarterback and Don Riggs at fullback turned in

creditable work,,

Maroons leave by bus tomorrow morning at 8:00 a. m. for Jonesboro, ^rk. ,
where they will face the ..Arkansas State Teachers College Indians in a
game Saturday at 8:15 p. m.

The Arkansas State Indians are potential by a fine team, very
powerful, but one that has not yet lived up to advance predictions.
The Indian's season record is only fair, but with a line averaging
220 pounds, they will provide worthy opponents for Coach Glenn "Abe"
Martin's Maroons.

In preparation for the game , the Martin men have been drilling
only lightly this week, spending most of their time in signal drills
and regaining the strength they lost in their hard fought 20 to 0
victory over Northern Illinois State Teachers College here last Saturday.

Robert "Bunker" Jones of West Frankfort, 225 pound end, who has
been used primarily for defensive play in backing the Maroon line
thus far this season, has been drilling at the right halfback slot.

Jones is very fast for his weight. Just how fast is well know
to Maroon followers who have watched him score two long touchdowns
this season, one on a 63-yard end-arounu play, and' the other on a
40-yard pass interception.

With his speed, power, and pass receiving abilities, Jones may
provide quite a surprise for the unwary Arkansas team.

Carbondale, 111., Oct. 31 - "nil this talk of fighting Russia
now is dangerous--the trick is not to die but to live,'1' John Metcalfe,
lecturer-correspondent , told some 1,500 Southern Illinois school
teachers and administrators here today.

Metcalfe, who has covered most of the international conferences
of recent years, and who recently returned from Germany, gave two of
the three addresses before the annual meeting of the Southern Illinois
Division of the Illinois Education Association, convened here at
Southern Illinois University.

"No one in his right mind would suggest that we ought to fight
as long as there remains one possibility of getting along with Russia,"
he said.

"Even though there is no way in si^ht leadin^ to cooperation for
peace, we can't give up, for war is too disastrous. It would not be
easy to win. I think we could win, bur, the cost would be tremendous.5*'

Metcalfe admitted the situation at present is more critical than
ever before, and predicted that the forthcoming London conference to
consider a peace treaty with Germany offers little promise of success,

"If we could settle the German question with Russia it would be
easy to settle other international problems with Russia," he declared,
"for Germany is still the heart of economic Europe. If Germany goes
Communist, the Communists would seize Europe.

"Russia knows it only too well, and is anxious to gain control of
Germany, just as she is anxious to gain control of Italy and France.

If the London conference fails, there is precedent for taking
the question of the German peace to the General Assembly of the United
Nations, he said.

"Russia has no desire to have such issues as this and the Korean
situation brought before the whole world," he asserted. "And I do not
believe that Russia will withdraw from the United Nations, for this
would result in an armament rush the like of which the world has never
seen before."

Metcalfe strongly advocated Congressional support ior the Marshall
Plan, and declared there is a tremendous reservoir of good will for the
United States among the people of Europe, which can be brought into
active support for democracy if the people can be fed and their
governments stabilized.

At the morning session of the teachers meeting, Metcalfe spoke on
"Inside Washington,1'' analyzing the difierences between the foreign
policy of the United States under each of the last four Secretaries of
State — Cordell Hull, Edward Stettinius, Jr., James F. Byrnes, and Gen»
George C „ Marshall.

The IEa delegates were welcomed to the University campus by
University President Chester F. Lay, who questioned whether educators.,
"like Nero, are not fiddling" in the face of imminent disaster.

"I wonder if anybody else other than teachers are able to prepare
such large numbers of people if such disaster comes,1' he said. ''Vie
can't just act as if peace stared us in the face."

albert Nicholas of nnna-Jonesboro, president of the Southern
Division, presided at the dciy-long session, and urged the teachei s to
join with the National Education Association in order to enable that

prganization to present a united front in Washington on behalf of
federd aid for the public schools.

The other keynote speaker for the educational session was T7illard
E. Goslin, superintendent of the rjublic schools at Minneapolis, Minn,,
who spoke on "Responsibilities of American Education.1'

Mr, Goslin challenged the teachers to re-cast the American
educational system to fit the individual pupil rather than trying t o
make the individual pupil fit the system*

He deplored the periodic attacks on the child's self-confidence
by means of the report card, and urged that '''every American child is
good for something ,,r and should not necessarily be cast in the same
mould as his school mates.

Education offers the best opportunity to guide America into making
the right choice in the crossroads which face her--the greatest
crossroads of all history, he said.

"We may if we choose put our weight on the side of right living
— a choice which can change the quality of living of all mankind," he
declared.

Education's major responsibilities, he stressed, are (1) for the
general welfare of the American people-- "life just ought to be better
in every American community because there is a school there"; (2) to
contribute to the growth and development of every individual so e ach
can carry his own part of the load; and (3) to conserve our natural
resources which are the heritage of future generations as well as our
own.

He insisted that education must make its contribution to the world
of peace, and must contribute to the expansion and improvement of the
democratic ideal...

For the individual student,, he said, the school should provide for
his physical welfare, should guard his emotional health and mental
stability, should help him to develop into a dynamic individual with
sound ideals and convictions..

Carbondale, 111., Nov. - Illinois is literally the '"'heart1' of
the country, a calculation of the national c enter of population made
by an economics class at Southern Illinois University shows.

The 1946 population center of the country, bc.sed on Bureau of
Census figures, lies in the southern part of Jasper county, Illinois,
about half way between Olney in Richland County ana Newton in Jasper
County--a little east of the small towns of Liberty and Boos.

The calculation was made by a class ineconomic statistics, taught
by Dr. Lewis a. Maverick, professor and department chairman.

Students making the study included William H. Bauer of Benton,
Donald Bodson of Greenview, Howard F. Ludwig of "Jest Frankfort, and
Lloyd W. Sielbeck of Cobden.

The center of population in the last six years has jumped not
only across county lines but also across a state line, for in 1940
this center w^s located between Vincennes and Terre Haute, Ind., Br.
Maverick points out.

The I94O center was calculated by the Bureau of the Census, but
no such calculations are contained in the Bureau's inter-census
estimates of population shifts. The students had to estimate the
centers of population of the various states, then calculate the
national c enter, Dr. Maverick e xplained.

'■They do not claim to be closer to the precise center than about
15 miles, one way or the other, i! he said.

(more.)

■w

SOUTHFRN I" I INOIS

j 'CttSMIDAU, ILLINOIS i

fa-
Longitude of the new center is approximately 88° 1? west of
Greenwich, the latitude 38° 53 ' north of the equator, the survey shows.
In 1940 the longitude was 8*7° 23' west, the latitude 3$° 58 minutes
north.

In 1790, the population center of the country was at Baltimore,
but it has marched westward with each succeedin0 census. In latitude,
it has clung very close to the 39th parallel, although the 1946 center
is the farthest south it has ever oeen.

The shift in the population center, Dr= Maverick pointed out, is
due to the combined forces of migration ana the birth-rate. Estimates
on which it is calculated represents population of all ages.

The population changes, by states, which have caused the extensive
movement of the national center of population since the 1940 census,
were tabulated by the University class.

Increases of more than 200,000 were shown for 13 states, as follows:
California, 2,4£>5 thousand; Michigan, 796 thousand; Ohio 544 thousand;
Washington, 435 thousand; Texas, 419 thousand; Oregon, 36I thousand;
Florida, 353 thousand; Indiana," 318 thous.nd, Maryland, 296 thousand;
Massachusetts, 254 thousand; Connecticut, 251 thousand; Virginia, 236
thousand; New York, 231 thousand.

Illinois, although the new center of population is located within
its borders, ranked 21st among the states in population gain, with a
increase of 59,000 over the 1946 figure.

Decreases of 50,000 or more in population were shown for the
following states: Kentucky, 143 thousand; Oklahoma, 121 thousand; North
Dakota, 105 thousand; Mississippi, 103 thousand; West Virginia, 96
thousand; South Dakota, 95 thousand; Montana, 82 thousand; Arkansas,
71 thousand; and Idaho, 55 thousand.

Carbondale, 111., Nov. - After deieating Arkansas State College
of Jonesboro, Arkansas 12 to 7 last Saturday night on a rain drenched
field, the Southern Illinois University Maroons turned their eyes
homeward toward the final two games of the Illinois Intercollegiate
athletic Conference title race.

The Maroons, of Coach Glenn ,?A.be7' Martin are thus far undefeated
in conference play with victories over Northern and Western. Only
Illinois Normal University and Eastern Illinois State College remain
on the conference schedule, and these two teams are scheduled the next
two weeks.

Saturday the Maroons face the hedl Lrds of Illinois Normal University
at Normal, and then the following week play host to Eastern at
IcAndrew Stadium at Carbondale, where the I.I.A.C. championship will
probably be decided.

At Jonesboro, the Maroons were second best in the mud during the
first half, allowing a smooth Arkansas State T-formation offense to gain
a 7-Point lead as the result of a 73 yard sustained drive.

The Arkansas Indians scored in the early minutes on the second
period -when ajieight yard pass, their first of the ^ame, from Luketich
to Bolton, crossed up the Southern defense and was _ood for the
touchdown. Hayden's kick for the extra point was good.

The big thrill of the second quarter was ruined when a clipping

penalty nullified a dazzling 75-yard touchdown punt return by oob

Johnson of DuQuoin for Southern.

After an exchange o'f punts in the third quarter's opening minutes,
Southern struck from deep in their own teiritory v/hen a pass from Bill
Malinsky of Flora was complete to Bob Colborn, also of Flora, for 56
yards and a first down on the Arkansas State eight-yard line*

Bob Johnson took a lateral f rom Malinsky and skirted right end
behind good blocking for the touchdown. The kick for extra point
by Robert i?Bunker?? Jones of '"est Frankfort was blocked, leaving
Southern on the short end of a 7 to 6 score.

On the last play of the third period Bill Cosgrove, Maroon center
from Benton, recovered an Arkansas State fumble on the Arkansas 32.

On the Maroons next play Dick Seelman of Flora ran to the 18 on a
lateral from Malinsku. An offside penalty against Arkansas State and
an end around with Joe Hughes of "/est Frankfort carrying gave Southern
a first down on the six.

Seelman went to the four, then was stopped for no ^ain, and a pass
by Malinsky fell incomplete. On fourth down Malinsky passed to Hughes
who took the ball on the one-yard line and stepped for the score.
|,0ain the try lor point by Jones was blocked.

Carbondale, 111,, Nov. - Illinois may soon raise its low rank
among the states as to the large number of extremely small school
districts it has, if recommendations of county survey committees are
accepted by the people, according to the School Reorganization Committee
of Southern Illinois University.

Nine of 27 county school survey boards which have already reported
recommended a single school district for the entire county, the
committee pointed out. One has recommended 2 districts for the county,
three recommended 3 districts, three recommended 4 districts, two have
recommended 7 districts, one 8 districts ana two 9 districts, only
six counties reporting thus iar have suggested more than 10 districts
per county.

"Experts contend that each school district should be of sufficient
size to enroll six thousand or more students in its grade and high
schools, if a rich variety of courses and services is to be offered for
children and youth," Dr. Howard E. Bosley, committee chairman, explained,

"nn enrollment of this size in a single district would be
; distributed among a considerable number of school buildings located in
convenient centers, to which children would be transported by school
buses."

"A single board of education, with an adequate administrative and
supervisary staff could operate such a regional or county district much
as city school systems operate under a single board of education.1'

Carbondale, 111., Nov. - The championship of the Illinois
Intercollegiate nthletic Conference is within the grasp of the Southern
Illinois University Maroons, and whether or not they capture the
title will be decided in the next two weeks.

Saturday, Nov. 8, the charges of Head Coach Glenn ?,Abe" Martin
visit Normal where they will be the guests of the Illinois Normal
University Redbirds, and the following Saturday the Martinmen return
to McAndrew Stadium in Carbondale where they will close their conference
play against Eastern Illinois State College, an outfit which has not
yet been defeated in title play.

Eastern plays Northern this week in a game which will go a .Long way
toward deciding the conference championship. If Northern, with a
loss and a tie on their record, can beat Eastern, and the Southern
Maroons can top Normal, the Maroons will have a first place tie clinched
this week.

If Normal should upset Southern, or if Eastern defeats Northern,
the all- important _ame remaining on the conference schedule will be
the Southern-Eastern encounter next week, Nov. 15, at McAndrew Stadium,

After defeating a _ood Arkansas State team last week, Coach Martin
and the Maroons have taken a well-deserved pat on the back, but
nevertheless they have continued hard practice drills.

Southern goes into the Normal battle with two straight vans over

the Normal Redbirds, 13 to 7 in 194b, and 33 to 19 in 1945. The last

time Normal won was in 1942 by 7 to 0. In between -were two ties.

Southern is now a vastly improved team. Early in the season the
ily dependable feature of the eleven was the sterling line play from
tckle to tackle. That play is still great, but other parts of the
lain have developed rapidly.

Quite early it became evident that Coach Martin had a truly great
id in Bob Colborn of Flora. But the rapid development of Joe Hughes
i West Frankfort has been a surprising factor. Hughes improves every
one; a ;ainst Arkansas State he was outstanding on a number of occasions.

after the ends had reached par with the center of the line, the
xt position to improve was that of fallback. Don hig_s, who has
lown great promise for- almost two years, finally found himself and
Layed a brilliant game against Western.

That left only the halfbacks to round into shape. The return of
Lck Seelman of Flora, who had been injurea for a month, a_ainst
Drthern, ana the breakaway runnin^ of Bob Johnson of Du„uoin, plus
le steady ball lugging of koy kagsdale of Carbondale and George
awyer of Wood Liver, g ave the Maroons good halfback strength.

At quarterback, Bill Malinsky of Flora has been a consistant and
ten brilliant operater all season, but he had no dependable
splacement until George Baysinger of Carbondale reported for practice
month after the beginning of the season. Baysinger has played very
all in the last two ^ames; against Arkansas State his running was
xcellent .

The Maroons are well rounded, a conference championship is
sily within their grasp if they maintain the pace they have set in
inning their last three consecutive games.

For Friday release:

Carbondale, 111., Nov. - Tomoi row afternoon the Southern
Illinois University Maroons will meet the Redbirds of Illinois State
Normal University at Normal in a crutial battle of the Illinois
Intercollegiate Conference.

The league-leading Maroons, undefeated thus far in conference
play with vie ories over Northern and Western, meet the Normal Redbirds
in a struggle which will be very important in determining the conference
champion.

Normal is an up-and-coming team which lost to v^ashington University
of St. Louis by a 14 to 13 margin last week after a hard-fought, evenly
contested game, . Earlier the Recibirds tied, 7 to 7, with Northern, whom
the Maroons later defeated in the mud 20 to 0,

With Normal on the upswing, in spite of a defeat earlier in the
season by Eastern 13 to 7, they should provide plenty of trouble for
the hifh- riding Maroons of Coach Glenn "Abe" Martin.

Only two minor injuries will handicap the Martinmen tomorrow-, and
neither of these are serious enough to keep the men on the bench.

Robert "Bunker'* Jones of West Frankfort is still slowed by a
charley-horse, and Bill Cosgrove of Benton is suffering from weakened
shoulder. J. Pieron of Murphysboro will probably start in place of
Cosgrove,

The Maroons running attack, which found itself on the muddy

gridirons of the last two Saturdays, should be ready to operate at top

speed for the first time this season at, Normal if the ground is dry.

Halfbacks Bob Johnson of Du.^uoin ana Dick Seelman of Flora are
really in the grove now, after a slack early season.

against Normal last year Seelman ran brilliantly, gaining over
110 yards and averaging over six yards per t ry on straight plays.

Johnson, who has alternated between left and right halfback all
season, will play right half, and Seelman will take the left half slot
in the starting lineup.

This will be the first time this season that both men have started
and played at the same time, and it will give the Maroons the maximun
in offensive running strenght.

Probable starting lineup:
LE Bunker Jones of West Frankfort
LT Charles Wathieu of Eldorado, Capt.

Carbondale, 111., Nov. - The Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference title chase will be decided at Mcnndrew Stadium in Carbondale,
Saturday, Nov. 1$, when the loop leading Southern Illinois University-
Maroons face the Eastern Illinois State College Panthers.

The Maroons have their conference record marred only by a 6 to 6
tie with Illinois State Normal University at Normal last Saturday,
while the Panthers have suffered one conference loss to Northern, 25 to
6, last Saturday.

Conference rules rate a tie as a half game won and a half game
lost. Thus the Maroons have a record of two and one half wins and one
half lost, against one won and one lost for Eastern.

If the Maroons defeat Eastern, they will be undisputed champions.
Even a tie with Eastern would assure Southern a tie for the championship,
with Eastern still having one more game to play against T,.'estern.

In their game against Normal Saturday, the Maroons scored first,
early in the second period, when they struck by air from their own
territory.

With the ball on Southern's 39, Dick Seelman of Flora took a lateral
from Bill Malinsky, also of Flora % faded deep, and passed to Joe Hughes
of I'iest Frankfort on the. Normal 35. With the aid of good downfield
blocking, Hughes raced the remaining distance for a touchdown on a 61
yard pass play.

The try for extra point was no ^ood when end Merlin Belle of
Normal blocked the kick of Bret McGinnis of Carbondale*

iilthough Normal threatened often during the game, the Maroons
managed, by alert defensive plans, to keep then, from scoring until
late in the fourth quarter.

With about six minutes remaining, Normal started a sustained drive
of 41 yards which tied the score two minutes later, nfter Malinsky
kicked out of bounds on t he Southern 41$ scatback Gene Stratman,
Normal's elusive openfield ace, skirted end, reversed his field
beautifully, and raced to the Southern 1'0 .

a line smash by Del Santo, to the 11, a pass from Brady to Stratman
to the five, and a plunge by Brady gave Norhern a first down on the
two yard line.

After Stratman was thrown back to the five, Brady passed to Ray

Morelli in the end zone for the touchdown. The try for extra point

failed on a bad pass from center.

Carjonaale, 111., Uov» - It's conference championship time

The lea ue-leaclin ; Southern Laroons of Coach Glenn "Abe" Martin

With only one tie, 6 to 6 with Illinois State Normal University,
to spoil their record, the Martinmen have a golden opportunity to
capture their first conference title since 1931.

Eastern lost 25 to 6 to Northern, a team which the l-iaroons
defeated earlier, 20 to 0. On the basis of this score Southern is
six touchdowns the better.

However, Eastern defeated Normal earlier in the season 13 to 7,
which would indicate that on that comparison, they were one touchdown
better than the Maroons.

With comparative scores very misleading, as usual, the ^ame will
probably be played with Southern established as a slight favorite with
the victory going to the team which makes and t^kes advantage of the

Carbondale, 111., Nov. - a new variety of wheat--Vigo--has
(proven to be the top producer on the Southern Illinois University
Farm, with a yield of 57.32 bushels per acre in 1946-47, according
to Dr. Lowell Tucker acting chairman of the agriculture department.

Another new strain, the Indiana lied ,T.ve, yielded 57.21 bushels
per acre.

This year was the first year the University Farm has planted
either of these varieties, although Vigo has been tested elsewhere for
the past three years.

Other varieties tested in 1946-47 and their respective yields per
acre follow: Illinois D-£>5, 54. £7 bushels; Fairfield, Fulcdster and
Trumbull, 49. 3 bushels each; Goens, 49.17; Clarkan, 43.54; Blackhawk
and Newcaster, 47.69 each; and Prairie, 41.99.

Records on the yield per acre at the University Farm were compiled
by n.lex Reed, assistant Proiessor of Agriculture in University High
School.

Comparative records on the yield per acre were compiled by Reed
covering 1943-44, 1944-45 and 1946-47. Only two of the 11 varieties
planted in 1946-47 were planted each of the three years--Fulcaster,
with a three-year average yield of 43.54 bushels per acre, and Prairie,
with a 35.76 bushel-per-acre average yield.

The 1943-44 yield of both these varieties v; as relativelt high —

ropped drastically in 1944-45, ranging from 24. $ for Prairie to
35.16 for Trumbull-Fultz C. I. 12220. The last variety was not planted
in 1946-47.

Indicative of the better growing season of 1946-47, the yield for
Fulcaster rose from 4^,3 in 1943-44 to 49.3 last year, while that of
Prairie increased from 40.5 to 41.99.

Among the varieties planted in both 1944-45 and 1946-47, the

Carbondale, 111., Nov. - Southern Illinois University's great
line will have it's hands full Saturday when it draws the task of
stopping Eastern Illinois State College's crew of fast, flashy back
at Mc Andrew Stadium in Carbondale where the two teams will battle for
the Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title.

The league leading Maroons of Coach Glenn uAbei? Martin are after
the first Southern championship since 1931, and are given a good
chance to come through.

Eastern has backfield speed and power combined in one man, 195
pound 10 second man Smith, a blazing runner from Downers Grove.

Another fast 195 pound halfback is Don Johnson, who has combined
with Smith in blitzing the opponent rs ends all year on powerful sweeps.

However, Southern has two great ends, Bob Colborn of Flora, a steady ?
outstanding performer all year, and Joe Hughes of West Frankfort to
slow their running.

Quarterback for the Panthers from Charleston is a former great star
of Murphysboro High School, Bob Babb«

Babb is the outstanding passer for the Eastern team, and is used
primarily for offense, since his signal-calling is Eastern's mainstay.

The Maroons are not in top shape for the game, and Coach Martin has
been striving all week to bring his charges to a sharp mental edge.

Most serious casualty for the Maroons Is quarterback Bill Malinsky
who is still suffering from the effects of the hard battle the Maroons
had against Normal in their 6-6 deadlock last week.

Malinsky, passer deluxe and T-formation ball-handler, has been
suffering all week from a weak knee and stomach cramps. However, it is
hoped that Malinsky will be recovered enough by tomorrow to give a
good account of himself*

Much of the Maroons offensive strength is based on passer Malinsky,
who is now in his fourth year with Soutnern. If Malinsky is aole to
see only limited action, his L,lace will be taken by George Baysinger
of Carbondale or Gene Woods of Fairfield*

Woods is a freshman w^o has come into prominence in only the last
few weeks, and who may play quite a bit in the Eastern game.

Robert '-'Bunker" Jones of West Frankfort is still suffering f rom
the charley-horse which kept him from playing last week at Normal, but
since the muscle is responding to treatment, he probably will be able
to see considerable action.

Dick Seelman of Flora is bothered by a shoulder injury, which
limits his effectiveness, and Warren Littleford of Vandalia, strong
freshman reserve at tackle, is nursing a sore arm. both these men,
however, will be able to see action.

Playing their last home game for the Maroons will be three
seniors who have started regularly this season, Capt. Charles Mathieu
of Eldorado, sera py, brilliant buard bob Etheridge of Fairfield, and
Malinsky.

After the victory over Eastern, Southern Athletic Director ctnd

Southern's opponent in the Corn Bowl will be North Central,

In winning the conference title, two men in Southern's backfield
played brilliantly, bill maiinsky of flora dnd George Sawyer of Wood
River.

Maiinsky1 s great passing, with Sawyer receiving, set up two early
touchtowns for the maroons, and broke the back of the Eastern defense.
In his final performance on the Southern gridiron, Maiinsky played one
of the finest games of his career, although due to injuries his role
was limited to ball-handling and passing.

It was George Sawyer who provided the thrills for the crowd of
more than 3,000. Previously little watched, Sawyer burst upon an

brought his name to the iips of every spectator.

He averaged over nine yards a try on rushing by gaining 73 yards
in eight i^ies, with one of the runs good for kO yards through a
broken field. He took three passes from Malinsky Oood for 78 y^rds.

It was on pass defense where Sawyer played most billiantiy. He
intercepted two passes, and returned them a total of 117 y^rds, one
for 60 yards from his own three to the Eastern 23, which sciw him race
along one sideline for 23 yards and then bring the crowd to its feet as
he completely reversed his field and went on and on down the other side.

Eastern struck for the game's first score early in the first
quarter, when a 15-yard pass from Boyle to Gnere was complete and Ghere
raced 45 additional yards for the touchdown.

Southern struck back quickly .ra a sustained march of 71 y^rds which
was highlighted by a Z..0 yard Malinsky-to-Sawyer pass. Joe Hughes of
T7est Frankfort scored on cm end-around play from the six.

. Sawyer powered his way over for the next touchdown from the eight
yard line to climax a 6l-yard sustained drive.

A few minutes later, Sawyer scored again, this time from the one.
The next haroon touchdown came in the middle of the third period when
Joe Hughes scored a second time on an end around, this time from the
four.

Capt. Charles Mathieu, Karoon left tackle, scored when he fell on
a fumole by Eastern quarterback bob Babb on the first play or the fourth
quarter, babb was snowed under oehind the goal line, fumbled, and
i-lathieu turned the bobble into six points.

Eastern's second touchdown was scored at the expense of Southern's

Carbondale, 111., Nov, - The Southern Illinois University-
football ilaroons are finding it an almost impossible task to concentrae
upon the game at hand this week when they travel to Cape Girardeau to
meet Southeast Missouri State Teachers College.

The thoughts of the team are drifting over the Cape game toward
their contest with North Central on Thanksgiving in the first Corn
Bowl game at Bloomington.

The Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference champions of
Coach Glenn "Abe" Martin have been slowed in practice not only by
thoughts of the Corn Bowl, but also by inclement weather which has
limited practice sessions zo the barest tninimuns.

With this state 01 affairs prevailing, the game against Cape
Girardeau, is an anti-climax. In defeating Eastern 33-1.3 last week
the Maroons hit the peak of their season's play, and will probably be
a little "let down" against Cape.

Last Saturday, after serving a.; the doormat in their conference
during most of the early season, the Cape team sna ped out of its
lethargy ana defeated the team which previously had been leading the
conference, Springfield, mo.

For Friday Release:

Carbondale, 111., Nov. 21 - The Southern Illinois University
Maroons will leave at 10:30 tomorrow morning I'oi Gape Girardeau where
they will play their final regular season game against Southeast
Missouri State Teachei s College.

In spite of the Corn Bowl-glazed eyes so common on' the Maroon squad,
Hecid Coach Glenn BAbe" Martin says that there has not been as great a
"let-down" in practice as was to be expected after the victory of the
Martin men against Eastern last Saturday which clinched the Illinois
Intercollegiate athletic Conference championship.

Monday there was no practice, and on Tuesday only a short drill in
the rain, cut on Wednesday, after their short lay-off the Maroons looked
sharp in a long, tiring ''dummy" scrimmage.

Special emphasis in practice was given to passing offense. Bill
Malinsky of Flora, Southern's brilliant passer, who spent the afternoon
of the Eastern game throwing strikes, has been worked hard. Malinsky
is now in top physical condition again, having finally recovered from
the punishment he received at the hands of Illinois Normal University
almost two weeks ago.

There are no serious injuries to hinder the Maroons as they face
the Missouri team, which has not been scouted by Southern at, any time.

Halfback Dick Seelman of Flora is still nursing a lame shoulder,

which limits his passing effectiveness, but he will be able to see action,

Don Riggs of Fairfield, fullback, has almost recovered from the
sluggishness-producing body-bruises ne absorbed against Eastern, and by
the end of the week he should be able to operate in high gear,

Carbondale, 111., Nov. - nfter finishing their regular season
'schedule with a 2G-to-13 victory of the Indians of Southeast Missouri...
Etate Teachers College, the red-hot Southern Illinois University Maroons.
Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Champions, are getting set
in practice sessions for their Corn Bowl tussle with North Central on
Thanksgiving day at Bloomington.

Against Southeast Missouri State Teachers College of Cape Girardeau
the Maroons piled up an overwhelming lead early in the game, almost
effortlessly, and then clung tenaciously to their margin.

Cape recieved the opening kickoiX, but fumbled on the first play,
giving Southern possession of the ball on the Cape 17-yard line. Three
plays later the Maroons had scored, George Sawyer of Wood River flashed
to the $, and Don Riggs of Fairfield lu ,ged the pigskin over in two more
tries.

The try for point by Bret McGinnis of Carbondale was good.

The Maroons followed quickly with their second score. After the
kickoff , Cape was forced to punt when they failed to gain, and the kick
went out of bounds on the Cape 40* After two short running plays, Bill
Malinsky of Flora set up the touchdown when he hit Sawyer with pass good
to the four yard line. 'Four line cracks allowea Riggs to score again
from the one. McGinnis' lick was no good.

Early in the third period the Maroons scored on a 64-yard sustained
drive. The drive was highlighted by two perfect passes from the brilliant

Malinsky to Galen Djvis of DuQuoin and George Beltz of Marion. Sawyer
ran smoothly to add yardage as did Bob Colborn of Flora who picked up
10 yards on an end around. Malinsky personally tallied when he drove
over from the one foot line on a quarterback sneak. McGinnis1 kick
was good.

In the last period the Indians of Cape Girardeau proved themselves
to be "wampum-players" as they fought gamely to bring the game to an
exciting end. Early in the period Abernethy climaxed a 39-yard march
by scoring from the one. Anderson's kick was no good.

Two minutes later the Indians again gained possession of the ball
when end Klosterman intercepted a pass by George Baysinger of C^rbondale
on the Cape Girardeau 37-yard line. Nine plays later Anderson plunged
over from the one. This time his kick was good, making the final

score 20 to 13.

Carbondale, 111., Nov. - In a quandary about a centerpiece for

your Thanksgiving dinner?

Herers a suggestion from Miss Pauline DeHass, assistant professor

of home economics and supervisor of the home management practice house

at Southern Illinois University:

-
Select a rather loose head of cabbage, trim off the outer leaves

and cut a one-inch slice from the top. Place top downward in salt

water, using two tablespoons of salt for ec.ch quart 01 water. Allow

cabbage to remain at least two hours in this salt water. This will

make the cabbage easy to open and press out with your finders in the

shape of a large rose-. After it is pressed in the desired shape, rinse

it several times in fresh cold water to remove the salt, which otherwise

would make it limp.

Make roses of beets and turnips. Attractive sprays of carrots can
be made by cutting--as for carrot strips — from the tij of the carrot
to about an inch from the base end* Wide pieces of celery can be cut
in the same manner.

Arrange the beets, turnips, carrot sprays, and curled celery,
together with parsley, endive or other greens, around the cabbage head.
Here and there tuck a green or red pepper, cucumber, small egg plant,
or any other colorful vegetable available*

Carbmdale, 111., Nov. - Head Coach Glenn isAbey? Martin of the
Southern Illinois University Maroons abandoned the pessimism so prevalent
anion;, football coaches, and said, when questioned about the Corn Bowl
game tomorrow, "I think we're going to win.1'

The mentor of the Illinois Intercollegiate athletic Conference
hamps is definitely optimistic about the outcome of the Maroons tilt
ith North Central in the first Corn Bowl tomorrow afternoon at
loomington.

North Central of Naperville is a small school with a very good
'record, seven wins against one loss. The Naperville is a small school
kith a very good record, seven wins against one loss. Trie Naperville
school has the habit of winning, and is still smarting from its only
defeat by Carthage ten days ago, so the Maroons will probably find them
on the rebound.

North Central's offensive strength is centered in two fast men,
left halfback Curi and quarterback Tilden who specialize on wide end
sweeps.

To stop these men will be the task of Bob Colborn of Flora and
Joe Hughes of West Frankfort, two great Southern ends. If Colborn and
lughes are successful, most of the offensive power of North Central will'
be checked.

Southern has been lucky all season by the lack of serious injuries.
Only one man, Bill Wilkinson of West Frankfort, has been injured
seriously, and now Wilkinson is back in uniform,

Except for colds which have struck George Sawyer of Wood Kiver

Southern's most spectacular offensive treat in the last two games
h&s been a long pass from brilliant Bill i-Ialinsky of Flora to sensationaJ
George Sawyer. The pass has been thrown three times in the last two
games, and has been complete each time for a grand total of over 100

Carbondale, 111., Nov. - Southern Illinois has too long been
maligned as an area of worn-out land, a Southern Illinois University
[soils expert declares.

Marshall Clark, assistant professor of agriculture and former
professional soils consultant, asserts that Southern Illinois has many
[excellent programs of soil conservation under way.

"These programs,'1' he said, "range in scale from the 5,000-acre
h grassland farming' project of the University of Illinois at Dixon Spring-
to many excellently-managed private farms, both large and small, scattered
throughout the Southern Illinois area."

To give students in the soils class of the University agriculture
[department the opportunity for first-hand observation and study of the
[best practices in soil management and conservation, Prof. Clark has
[arranged class visits- to some of these developments,

A day was recently spent at the Dixon Springs project by a group of
students from the soils class, accompanied by Clark, Dr. Henry J. Rehn,
[dean of the College of Vocations and Professions, and Dr. Lowell Tucker,

of Vergennes, James Brooks of Louisville, John H. Craig of H^rrin,
Clarence E. Cox of Vienna, William Cooper of Carbondale, Donald Dillow
of Anna, and Leland Ashby of Eldorado.

"The Dixon Springs project is a well conceived and efficiently
directed example of a large scale program,, well suited to che conserva'cio
needs of the more roiling areas of Southern Illinois,'' Prof. Clark
xplained.

The 5,000-acre project has been under way since 1933-34 and has
restored to pasturage productivity land which was formerly almost waste,
he said.

The reclaimed land yields astonishing results in feeding livestock.
The lamb crop on the sheep-grazing phc.se of the project where western-
bred ewes and their lambs were carried on a self-contained tract oi land,
yielded an average of 290 pounds of lamb per acre for the pc st three
prears.

Sold at prevailing market prices of ..20 per hundred-weight, this
crop brought an income of [.5$ per acre, nn additional income of 'v8 per
acre for wool clipped from the ewes makes a total gross income of v66
per acre. Overhead and labor costs are exceptionally low.

The beef cattle grazing space of the program--less spectacular than
the sheep yield — showed favorable returns that varied sharply with the
excellence of the pasture crop used and the grazing plan of utilizing
these crops, Prof. Clark pointed out.

Pasture returns as high as "jl+6,78 per acre were realized from beef
produced in the demonstration.

The soil-building and erosion control program most economical for

pasture development, he said, has been found to consist of the following

practices:

(more )

uumr.mM

NUI5

. LIBKmK r

'W«BO«DAt£, ILLINOIS i

-3-

1. Clearing the land of trees and brush, leaving only enough lor
shade.

2. Basic fertilizer applications of three to four tons of limestone
and 700 to 1,000 pounds of raw rock phosphate per ucre.

3. Land tillage on contour, using heavy cover crop discs in place
of plows to prepare the soil for seeding* This practice mixes such
organic material as may be on the land with the surface soil to promote
water absorption and prevent erosion,

4. Fall seeding of rye, biuegrass and red top grasses, followed in
early spring on the same ground by a seeding of Ladino clover and
lespadeza.

5. Controlled pasture utilization where stock is rotated from field
to field during the season to prevent excessive grazing.

6. Periodic clipping — once or twice a season--to prevent the seeding
• of noxious weeds.

"This low- cost program assures a pasture th^t will give satisfactory
grazing for periods of eight to 10 years before renovation is necessary,"
Professor Clark declared.

Among the many farmers in the Southern Illinois area who follow
sound practices of soil conservation is Leo Stadelbacher of Cobden,
Clark said.

The University soils class visited the Stadelbacher farm to study
the results of 30 years* application of erosion control to small fruit
farming with its high degree of soil tillage on typical Southern Illinois
hill land.

The Stadelbacher holdings originally comprised an area of 40 acres
of land so severely cut by water erosion that it was practically
abandoned. The topography of the land varied from small level areas of

an tf.cre in extent to slopes of 25 per cent. Gullies were so deep that

it was impossible to traverse the fields.

As time passed, this land was brought under control by using check
dams and concrete in the worst gullies, supplemented by grass waterways
and closely spaced terraces. All of the land is tilled on contour.

Principal crops are the bramble fruits and strawberries. Commonly-
grown truck crops are an additional source of income.

Mr. Stadelbacher has recently added another i+0 acres to his holdings
and the University class was able to see at first hand just how the
experiences of 30 years in erosion control and soil building can be used
to bring land under control under present-day economic conditions.

i?The prosperous, neat, well-kept appearance of the land and the
beautiful spacious home of -the owner attest to the success of these
operations developed on land once considered almost worthless/' Prof.
Clark explained.

The farm oper. ted by Valley Blacklock and his son of Vergennes
offers a sharp contrast in soil conservation to the highly developed
terrace system practiced by Mr. Stadelbacher, Clark pointed out.

Mr. Blacklock's 600-acre farm is oper ted as a "dirt farmer's"
version of the Dixon Springs plan.

The land is largely devoted to grass and hay, with enough land
cultivated in corn each year to fatten a substantial drove of hogs for
market and to maintain in perfect condition a choice herd of purebred
Hereford cattle. The whole operation gives evidences of a well-planned,
thrifty program.

Farm operations of John Cerney of Cobden combine in one program

features of both the Stadelbacher and Blacklock systems of soil

utilization, according to Clark.

The greater part of the land on this 300-acre farm is of rolling

topography best suited to pasture lanct farming. On this land Mr. Cerney
and his so*is have developed and maintain a fine hero of purebred Herefort
cattle.

On restricted areas of the farm Cerney grows crops of early
vegetables which are used as supplementary sources of income. These
ve^etcble crops have proven an e xcellent means of utilizing the manure
which is a by-product of the beef cattle enterprise. Moreover, the
labor requirements of vegetable-growing dovetail well with those of
beef-growing, making an economically sound combination of agricultural
activities, Prof. Clark explained.

"Our visits to these practical farming operations are not only
giving the soils class the chance to see the application of theoretical
or experimental programs, '"Prof. Clark declared," but also enable each
student to get suggestions as to how these practices may be applied to
his own home farm."

Garbondale, 111., Dec. - Basketball Coach Lynn Holder of
Southern Illinois University commented after the first scrimmage
Monday that he was fairly well pleased with the performance of his
charges even though they committed many of the basketball sins inherent
in early season practice.

The defending Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference champion;
face the Flyers of Scott Field in the Southern opener December 5 in
the Men's Gymnasium.

Players reporting from the football squad are "all thumbs7' and
still depend too much upon body blocks instead of finesse, but these
rough bits of play will be smoothed out rapidly.

Three members of last yearns championship outfit are on hand to
lend stability to the Maroon's early season efforts. These men are
Quentin Stinson of Eldorado, Oliver Shoaff of Mt. Carmel, and Bob
Colborn of Flora.

Only Shoaf was out for prc.ctice this week, as Stinson and Colborn
were still playing football with the I. I. A. C .--Corn Bowl champions.

Unfortunately for the early season Maroon basketball hopes, Colborn,
who is a great end in football in addition to being a stellar basketball.
guard, suffered a fairly serious shoulder separation in the Corn Bowl
football game and will be ready only for very limited duty in the early
games.

Although Holder has made no definite commitments on his starting
line-up against Scott Field Friday night, it is probable that a large
number of his squad will see action, giving him an opportunity to judge
his charges under fire.

If he depends upon any few players to carry the Maroons to a
victory over Scott Field, it will probably be the players such as
Shoaff , Charles and John Goss of Marion, Jack Long of Flora, Paul
Beatty of Zeigler, and Jack Eadie of West Frankfort.

These men have been practicing for several weeks and are rounding
into fairly good shape.

Especially promising is the six-feet four-inch Long, a sophomore,
who now has a year of experience behind him and should develop into
prominence.

Carbondale, 111., Dec. - Southern Illinois University basketball
Coach Lynn Holder has been experimenting this week with various
combinations in preparation for the. Maroon's opener against Scott Field
in Carbondale Friday night.

It will be a busy weekend for the Holdermen, since they are schedule
against the powerful Evansville Purple aces in Evansville Saturday night*

In practice sessions, guard Bob Colborn of Flora has revealed that
the shoulder separation he suffered in the Corn Bowl football game is
improving rapidly, and he may be able to give a good account of himself
over the weekend.

Sore feet, the typical early season plague suffered by all basketbal
teams, are continuing to hinder Maroon practice sessions. Joe Hughes of
West Frankfort has been seriously slowed down by sensitive soles, but he
is mending rapidly.

Long scrimmage sessions have been standard fare for the Maroon
eager s all week, and although Coach Holder will not allow himself any
show of optimsism, he carries the air of a person who has high hopes.

dependable pass receiver and a dangerous threat on end around plays.

On defense Colborn was especially brilliant. No opposing team
succeeded in gaining more than a very few yards a game around his end,
and most teams had a net loss yardage for their efforts.

Corn had been a brilliant tackle all season. His selection makes th
third straight year a tackle has lead the Maroons. Sam i-Iilosevich of

educators will tour reorganized public schools in Kentucky Dec. 7-$
on the fourth such expedition sponsored by the School Reorganization
Committee of Southern Illinois University, according to Dr. Howard E.
Bosley, committee chairman.

Many of the teachers, school survey board members and administrators
who will make the trip are students in University extension classes at
Elizabethtown, Benton and Harrisburg.

The group will visit Lincoln's Birthplace, near Hodgensville, Ky. ,
iTHy Old Kentucky Home" at Bardstown and the "My Old Kentucky Home School"
near Bardstown. The Vine Grove and Hardin County schools will also be
inspected and discussed with school officials,

"The purpose of this tour is to study the operation of large school
administrative units," Dr. Bosley explained.

"In Kentucky, each county is an administrative unit with a board of
education of five members elected by the people to control the county
schools. In sonre?, but not in all CQUnties, one or more independent
units may exist within a county, though a marked tendency exists for
these independent units to petition to- join the larger county school

Carbondale, 111., Dec. - A slight decrease in the total
enrollment from the fall term is expected in the registration for the
winter term at Southern Illinois University, December £-9. The total is
expected to exceed the 2500 registered for the 1946-47 winter term.

The new I.B.M. machines will be used again to speed up registration.
These machines were used for the first time at the University last fall
term.

Program cards made out in advance by all students registered for
the fall term will do much to accelerate the registration. Students must
realize, however, that programs made out two weeks ago are not a guarante
of schedule, but an indication of the students wishes*.

Several new courses are being offered for the first time winter
term. Some of them are: Volley Ball 206, American Square Dances and
Mixers 207 in the physical education department; in the economics
department: Applied Economics 208 and Advanced Honey and Banking 416,
Money and Banking 315 is a prerequisite for 416. Introduction to Drama
206 may be included as one of the sophomore courses in English of which
the student needs two in order to meet graduate requirement. Electronics
405 will be introduced in the physics department.

All courses previously scheduled for Dr. Kenneth D. Luney, associate
professor of economics, will be taken by Vernon G. Morris, assistant
professor of economics. Mr. Morris comes to the University from the
Tennessee Valley authority where he has been employed in the research

For Friday Release:

Carbondale, 111., Dec. - With high hopes for a successful
season, the Southern Illinois University Maroons meet the Flyers of
Scott Field Army Air Field in the S« I. U. Men's Gymnasium at 8:15
Friday night .

Maroon Coach Lynn Holder has announced that his starting line-up
will include three holdover regulars from last year's Illinois
Intercollegiate ^.thleuic Conference championship team.

Quentin Stinson of Eldorado will start at center, as he has been
doing regularly for two years, Bob Colborn of Flora, who was recently
chosen the "Most-Valuable Player" on the championship Maroon football
team, mil also start, although he has been slowed in practice by a lame
shoulder.

The third holdover from last year's first team is sharp-shooting
Oliver Shoaf of Mt. Carmel, a senior playing his second year for the
Maroons.

To complete his starting line-up, Holder has indicated that he will
start two newcomers to the Southern basketball scene, Joe Hughes and
Jack Eadie, both of West Frankfort.

Both men are sophomores, and both have plenty of high class
basketball competition behind them. Hughes lettered with Northwestern
last year, and Eadie earned a position on the Service All-America team
during the war.

Both men are known as good scorers, and Hughes' performance in
practice scrimmages indicates that he will probably be a steller
defensive player as well.

For the relief of these men Holder has a well-balanced crew of
reserves whom he will probably use liberally.

Leedio Cabutti of Johnson City is ready to begin his fourth season
with the Maroon cagers after having earned letters in the previous three
seasons. Other returning lettermen ready for duty are Charles and John
Goss, brothers from Marion.

Carbondale, 111., Nov. - With ti.o good victories under their
belts, the Southern Illinois University Maroons are girding themselves
this week for a campaign which will include five games before Christmas,
with four of them out, of town.

Tuesday night the Maroons, who are flushed from victories over
Scott Field 96 to 32 and Ev&nsville College 4SV to 39, travel to Paducah
where they will meet the always good Murray (Ky. ) State Teachers on
neautral ground at Tilghman High gymnasium.

Over the weekend the Maroons will invade the South for two games.
Friday night they visit the Indians of Arkansas State College of Jonesboi
Arkansas and the following night they run into another tribe in the form
of the Southeast Missouri State Teachers College Indians at Cape
Girardeau.

In their opener against Scott Field the Maroons of Coach Lynn
Holder met almost no opposition and had no trouble in piling up an
all-time scoring record for Southern.

The reserves played half of the game, and the scoring by the players
was fairly evenly split, as thirteen Maroons hit the net. Quentin
Stinson of Eldorado was high point man for the evening with 16 counters.

Evansville was a much more difficult proposition the following
night in a game played in the Evansville Armory.

In the first half the Maroons couldn't find the hoop effectively
and were trailing at the end of the period, 25 to 23. Only the 12 points
tallied by Jack Eadie of TJest Frankfort in this half kept the Holdermen
in the game.

But the second half was a different story altogether. With all
five starters, Bob Colborn on Flora, Joe Hughes of 'Vest Frankfort,
Quentin Stinson of Eldorado, Oliver Shoaff of lit. Carmel, and Eadie
scoring well, the Maroons quickly established a commanding lead and went
on to win going away.

Sadie's 15 points topped the Maroon's scoring, and Hafele's 12
were best for Evansville.

Carbondale, 111., Dec. - Putting on a great demonstration of
basketball skill, the Southern Illinois University Maroons topped a
good Murray (Ky») State College team Tuesday night in Paducah 71 to 5$.

The men of Coach Lynn Holder displayed a form of basketball
totally unexpected this early in the season. Their passing was sharp,
the shooting was excellent, and the general deportment of floor play
was smooth and efficient.

The Maroon shooting was especially effective. Paced in the scoring
column by forward Bob Colborn of Flora who tallied 23 points, the entire
Maroon team hit 1+1% of their shots from the floor.

Although Colborn led in the scoring, Oliver Shoaff of Mt. Carmel
and Jack Eadie of West Frankfort provided the outstanding thrills for
the crowd of nearly 2,000 which crowded into Paducah' s Tilghman
gymnasium.'

Shoaff and Eadie scored 17 and 15 points respectively, and most
of their field goals came from well out on the floor as the result of
long shots with Shoaff firing one-handers and Eadie on two-handers.

Under the basket Quentin Stinson of Eldorado played brilliantly
even though he scored only five points. Stinson' s gallant rebounding
against the taller Murray team was all-important in the Southern victory,

Next home game on the Southern schedule is Friday, Dec. 19 against
Millikin University.

two away- f ram-home games at Arkansas State and Southeast Missouri State

they have already suffered several defeats, including one by Southeast
Missouri of Cape Girardeau.

Friday night the Maroons will have the task of stopping Arkansas'
Maurice Miller, who was named the "Most-Valuable" college Player in
Arkansas last winter. Another thorne in the Maroons' side will be
Bennie Wilhelm, who was seventh highest scorer in the nation in 1946-47.

To stop these men, Southern will probably d epend upon the same
quintet which operated so effectively against Murray State College at
Paducah on Tuesday by winning 71 to 5$.

To these men, Bob Colborn of Flora, Joe Hughes of West Frankfort,
Quentin Stinson of Eldorado, Jack Eadie of West Frankfort, and Ollie
Shoaff of Mt, Carmel, will go the task of keeping Southern's unspoiled
record intact.

Carbondale, 111., Dec. - The Southern Illinois University-
Maroons, winners of all five starts this season, will return to
Carbondale Friday night when they play host to James Millikin
University in the Men's Gymnasium,

Last year Millikin was the only team which defeated Southern
twice, 52-47 and 63-51. One of those defeats was the first defeat
Southern had suffered in over two years on its home floor.

The Millikin contest will be the Maroon's last home game until

January 14, when Cape Girardeau will appear for a return engagement.

a
Cape Girardeau was the Maroon's second victim in/road game during

the last weekend. Friday night the Holdermen topped Arkansas State

47 to 37 at Jonesboro, Arkansas.

In the Arkansas St^te game the Maroons established an early ten-
point lead and then held on for the rest of the game to win by that
same margin.

Cape Girardeau lived up to its reputation of being a very good
team. The Cape defense was one of the best the Maroons have encountered
this year, and held the Maroons to only 18 points in the first half
against 20 for the home five.

In the second half t^uentin Stinson of Eldorado, Southern's great
center, caught fire and dumped in five baskets in five minutes, giving
the Maroons a 33 to 23 lead.

At this point Stinson went out via the foul route, but Southern
matched Cape basket for basket to win a very hard, rough game
highlighted by harsh body contact.

Jack Eadie of West Frankfort was the leading scorer with 16 points.

Carbondale, 111., Dec. - Southern Illinois University has
been notified that its kindergarten-primary teacher education program
has been approved by the New York State Department of Education,
University President Chester F. Lay has announced.

The University opened its pre-school education program some eight
years ago, but has been steadily developing the program in recent
years. "The Cottage," a former residence near the University campus,
is used as headquarters and a laboratory kindergarten-nursery school
for students majoring in pre-school education to put into practice
the knowledge they have gained in class work.

Directed by Dr. Sina M.. Mott, associate professor of pre-school
education, the kindergarten-nursery school is part of the University's
campus laboratory school system. Dr. Mott also is the major adviser
for students majoring in kindergarten-primary education.

Facilities at "The Cottage", originally set up as a kindergarten
only, were expanded in the fall of 1945 to include nursery school work.

For the past two years, special emphasis has been laid on raising
standards for kindergarten and primary teachers and acquainting local
communities with the fact that state school aid may be secured for
kindergartens and nursery schools operated in connection with the local
school system.

Dr. Mott has served as a representative of Southern on a statewide
committee, composed of various educational institutions and agencies in
Illinois, to study and recommend standards for pre-school education
and pre-school teachers.

Another phase of the work in this field at Southern is parental
education, carried on both in classes and in informal activities with
parents of children enrolled in the kindergarten and nursery school.

Approximately 25 graduates have completed degrees with majors
in pre-school education since the program started here, Dr. Mott said.
There are about }0 students currently majoring in this field.

-2-

Allied with the pre-school program is the student organization,
the Association for Childhood Education, which is comprised of all the
kindergarten and primary majors in the College of Education.

Recently the University conducted a two-day Kindergarten-Primary
Conference bringing Miss Neith Headley from the University of Minnesota
to serve as guest consultant. Arrangements for the conference were
carried out by the students in the Association for Childhood Education,
and Dr. Mott , their sponsor*

While students may obtain work at Southern leading to the bachelor
of science in education degree majoring in pre-school education, they
may also take some work leading to the master of science in education
degree as well, and by a cooperative arrangement with the Merrill-
Palmer School in Detroit, an outstanding center for training in this
field, may take work at Merrill-Palmer and count it toward the master's
degree here, according to Dr. E. R. Fair, dean of the College of
Education.

The recognition given Southern1 s work in this field by the New York
State Department of Education is gratifying to University educators,
for it means that teachers trained here in this work are eligible for
appointments in New York schools, which require high standards for
teachers in the kindergarten or nursery school.

'•With a continuation of the excellent support President Lay has
always given to our Early Childhood Education program, I feel confident
that this University is making rapid headway as a regular center in
this important level of teaching," Dean Fair declared.

Carbondale, 111., Dec. - Father Time is rapidly closing in on
1947 Southern Illinois University athletics, and Friday night when
the Maroons face Millikin College at the Men's gymnasium here will be
the last Southern home athletic contest of 1947.

If the Maroons win this game against Millikin, which is defending
a College Conference of Illinois crown, it will be a fine climax to a
very successful athletic year.

The two most important athletic titles of the Illinois ^
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in 1947 were captured by the Maroons.

In the winter of 1947 Southern, under the direction of Coach Lynn
Holder, won its second consecutive I. I. A. C. basketball championship.

Spring found the Maroons winning the conference tennis title, a
event which has been in no way unusual during the recent years when
Southern has dominated Illinois college tennis.

During the fall of 1947, under the direction of Coach Glenn "Abe"
Martin, the Maroons won the. I. I. A. C. football title and the post-
season Corn Bowl encounter with North Central.

Millikin is a worthy opponent for the year's home final. Last
year they did what had previously been considered almost impossible-
beating the Maroons on the Southern floor. It was the first time a
college team had turned the trick in more than two years.

Game time for the Southern-Millikin contest is 8:15 p.m. Friday.

Carbondale, 111*, Dec. - James Millikin University will invade
the Southern Illinois University MenTs Gymnasium Friday night at 3:15
to provide opposition for the last Maroon home effort for almost a
month.

After the Millikin tilt, the Maroons will not appear at home until
Jan, 14 when they play Cape Girardeau.

The Friday night encounter with Millikin will provide an excellent
opportunity for many Southern Illinois basket ball fans to see the
undefeated Maroons battle good competition with assurance of getting
a seat.

Christmas vacation at Southern begins Friday afternoon, and
hundreds of students are planning on rushing home without waiting to
see the basket ball game, thereby providing plenty of room in the gym
for all who wish to see the red-hot Maroons.

Millikin has nine lettermen back from their College Conference
of Illinois champions of last winter, and should be very good.

They will be the first Illinois college competition the Maroons of
Lynn Holder have faced this year. Previously Southern has topped
Indiana, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Missouri teams in succession.

In all probability the same men will start for Southern that have
been starting in the previous games. They are: Bob Colborn of Flora,
Joe Hughes of West Frankfort, (^uentin Stinson of Eldorado, Jack Eadie
of West Frankfort, and Ollie Shoaff of Mt. Carmel.

The Maroon "Bn squad, under the direction of Assistant Coach
Harlan Hodges, will play the DuQuoin Owls in a preliminary game at
6:45. In an earlier meeting the strong DuQuoin independent team won
easily.

Carbondale, 111., Dec. - Positions were secured for 399
applicants by the Southern Illinois University Placements Service
during the period Dec. 1, 1946-Oct. 31, 1947, Raymond H. Dey, Placements
Service director, reports.

These placements represent approximately 4/$ of the 310 applicants
who registered with the service.

Seventy-three other registrants have enrolled in graduate schools—
25 of them at Soutnern, 4$ at other institutions.

Of the 399 placed in positions, the great majority accepted
teaching positions: 204 in high schools, 12$ in elementary schools,
14 in colleges, four in rural schools, and nine in educational work
connected with their major subject. Forty of the applicants were
placed in occupations other then teaching.

The predominance of teacher placements, Mr. Dey pointed out, is
due to the fact that until recent years, Southern has been exclusively
a teacher-educational institution. The College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences, the College of Vocations and Professions and the Graduate
School have developed within the past three years.

Actually, 14 of the 1947 graduates of the College of Liberal Arts
and Sciences have accepted teaching positions within the past year,
and seven of the 1947 graduates of the College of Vocations and
Professions also accepted teaching positions.

Of the 232 graduates of the College of Education for 1947, a
total of 168 accepted teaching positions, or 71 per cent.

Carbondale, 111., Dec. - Santa Claus in the person of Coach
Lynn Holder has given the undefeated Southern Illinois University-
Maroons a full weekTs vacation for Christmas.

After handily winning their sixth and seventh starts of the season
by drubbing Millikin 71^50 Friday night, and then taking Shurtleff fs
measure 73 to 50 the following evening at Alton, Holder told his men
not to return for practice until Monday, Dec. 29»

After three dayTs practice, the Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference champs will greet the New Year by participating in the
Vincennes Holiday Tournament.

Against Millikin the Maroons displayed the most effective passing
of the season. Near and under the basket the pass-work was so sharp
that it dazzled the taller Millikin team.

Big Quentin Stinson of Eldorado, Southern* s brilliant center,
: :lfcd the scoring parade with 16 points. Bob Colborn of Flora took
runner-up . honors with 13 tallies.

Playing at Alton, Shurtleff. provided the -Maroons with more worry
than Millikin. had done the previous night, although there were only
two points difference in the score,

The Maroons first team, which had been "hot" in all previous
games, failed to produce results. With the Maroons trailing 1& to 14
midway in the first half, Coach Lynn Holder substituted his entire
second team composed of Leedio Cabutti of Johnston City, Jack Long of
Fl»ra, Charles and John Goss of Marion, and Jack Beaty of Centralia.

This combination immediately went to work. Playing smoothly and
scoring heavily, the second team remained in the game until over half
of the second period was over when they left a 20-point lead for the
first team, who finished -the game.

Bob Colbjtrn led the Maroon attack with 1$ points.

Chicago, 111., Dec. 29 - By experimenting on grown frog tadpoles,
two women zoologists have come to the conclusion that sex hormones act
directly on the sex glands instead of acting through the pituitary
gland.

Dr* Florence Foote of Southern Illinois University and Dr. Beatrice
Mintz of the University of Chicago today presented a paper before the
endocrinology session of the American Society of Zoologists at the
American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting here,
reporting on "Hormonal Sex Reversal in Hypohysectomized Anuran Larvae."

They removed the pituitary gland and injected pure crystalline sex
hormones into the tadpoles. They found that the normal sex reversal
pattern resulted, hence concluded that the pituitary is not essential
to the effectiveness of the hormones.

Their investigations were carried on while both were graduate
students working toward the doctor Ts degree at the University of Iowa.

Wed. p. m, , Dec, 31

Detroit, Mich., Dec. - The source of Walt Whitman's poetic
genius is rioted in the opera, a Southern Illinois University scholar
today reported before the American literature group of the Modern
Language Association, meeting here.

Dr. Robert D. Faner, associate professor of English at Southern,
who took his doctoral degree from the University of Pennsylvania last
June, submitting a dissertation on Whitman's debt to opera, expressed
the belief that the poet not only used the opera as a source of
inspiration but also as a structural style for his new form of poetry.

Faner' s research seems toshow that Whitman, far from "happening
upon" the free style of verse he developed, created his style
deliberately and with expert craftsmanship, the speaker declared.

Many students of Whitman have noted his keen interest in the opera,
but Faner 's study reveals for the first time the fact that the poet's
interest in poetry, and the style he created, sprang from his
preoccupation with opera,

Faner explained that Whitman found his ideas and visions stimulated
when listening to the Opera, and he consciously set out to create a
free, rhapsodic poetry that would approximate the effect of opera.
For this effect, he depended heavily on the recitative and the aria,
rather than the conventional stanza and line forms of earlier verse.
In doing so, he created a new poetic form and style.

Actually, Whitman did not start writing poetry until he became
enamoured of the opera, in the early l$50's, Faner said, and once he
started attending the opera he went every night.

Carbondale, 111., Dec. - Basketball Coach Lynn Holder decreed
two-a-day practice sessions for the Southern Illinois University
Maroons when they returned from their Christmas vacation to prepare for
the Vincennes Holiday Tournament, Jan. 1.

TJie Maroons will face Cape Girardeau in the opening round of the
New Year's Day four-team tournament. Two games will be played in the
afternoon, and the final and consolation games will follow the same
evening.

Evansville and Canterbury are paired for the second afternoon
round. Earlier this season Southern has defeated both Evansville and
Cape Girardeau on the opponents' courts, Cape falling 54 to 45 and
Evansville 43 to 39.

The two-a-day drills are scheduled for 9:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.,
with the morning drills being much lighter with emphasis on passing
and shooting. During the afternoons scrimmages are being held.

By Wednesday the practice sessions will probably taper off to
only a single afternoon session, as Holder guards against his men
getting sore feet from too strenuous workouts after a week-long
Christmas vacation.

the service will be made available to all schools of the area.

Already, some half dozen school systems of Southern Illinois have
agreed to participate in this new service, usin3 the exhibits in
connection with their classwork. These "pioneering" schools are
Eldorado, Muddy, Harrisburg, Dorrisville, Crab Orchard, Marion and
Carterville.

Thy University will take the exhibits by car to the cooperating
school, leaving them a week or two weeks, then picking them up and
transporting them to the next school.

"If the schools like the service," Dey said, "we hope to develop
many more unit exhibits, and to arrange a schedule of delivery so that
the schools may have the unit on transportation, for example, at the
time the children are studying transportation."

Many of the models to be used in the traveling exhibits, Allen
said, were made by WPA artists assigned to the Museum in the 1930fs.

The transportation exhibit which the University will send out
consists of models of a flat boat, carts of several vintages, a log
wagon, a Conestaga covered wa^on, a log bridge, a replica of the
covered bridge at Chester, and other models.

In the exhibit on weaving are the miniature spinning wheels and
loom, a frame for winding the yarn into hanks, samples of cotton and
flax fiber, and samples of cloth woven by hand.

The exhibit on household lighting includes the so-called "floating
wick," the "grease lamp," the Paul Revere candle lantern and other
lanterns, the kerosene lamp, and so on to the electric bulb.

Models and diagrams of sponge, coral, starfish, clams, lizards,
frogs and salamanders are included in the science exhibits.

Each object in each exhibit will have its own descriptive label,
and notes for the teacher's use in explaining the e xhibit are furnished.

The first exhibits will go out Monday, Jan. 24*
