CWCE Sophomore Sells Articles On Record Care Mickey Hamlin, sophomore at Central, recently sold an article to Western Family magazine. The article was one which he wrote spring quarter as a part of the work for English 268, Advanced Reporting and Feature Writing. This is the second sale so far among magazine articles written for the class. First to sell was an article on Sky Diving at Cen tral. It was written by Dick Rock- ne who sold it to the Inland Em­ pire magazine section of the Spokesman-Review. Hamlin's article is on the care of phonograph records. He received $50 from the magazine for the article. Hamlin is spending the summer at his home at Spanaway and plans to return to CWCE in the fall. He was associate editor of the Campus Crier last year. Workshop Offers 3 Scholarships Three $25 scholarships are avail­ able to students enrolling in the second session of the Conservation and Outdoor Education Workshop o be held August 17 through 23, Dr. John S. Shrader, workshop di­ rector, said today. The first session of the workshop, which runs from August 10 through 16, has almost full enrollment, Dr. Shrader said. He added that one or two persons more may register for the first week, while a number of places are open for the second session of the workshop. The workshop will be held at Hidden Valley Ranch, 23 miles from Ellensburg on the Blewitt Pass highway. It will feature pro­ grams of study and project work in four areas of conservation and outdoor education—fisheries and game resources, forest resources, soil resources and water resources. Included in the workshop pro­ gram will be experiences in out­ door "know-how," including camp­ ing, recreation, cookery, nature trails and campcraft, and lessons from government and private agen­ cies and teacher education special­ ists from the CWCE staff. Fees for the workshop are $44.70 board and room for each one week session and $20 course registration for each session. Students may enroll for either one or both work­ shop sessions and 2V% credit hours will be given for each session. All registration will be handled through the Registrar's Office. Orals Deadline All candidates for the Mast­ er's Degree in August should have completed their oral ex­ aminations on or before Aug. 4, Dr. Ernest Muzzall, director of graduate studies, said today. All research papers and theses for those students tak­ ing their degrees this summer should be filed with the Gradu­ ate Office on or before Aug. 8, Dr. Muzzall said. After all, when Charles Condo- mine's first wife, since departed, appears as the "Blithe Spirit" it is bound to create interesting situ­ ations. The play, directed by Milo Smith, will be given on Sunday and Mon­ day evenings, July 31 and August 1. Fee Receipts Admit Student admission will be handl­ ed in two ways. Students may receive their play tickets by show­ ing their summer school fee re­ ceipt at the college business office or by bringing their receipt to the ticket booth at the auditorium the night of the performance. Curtain time is 8.15 p.m. in the College Auditorium. Admission price for adults is 75 cents and 50 cents for children. Madame Arcati, the medium, will be portrayed by Frances Oechsner of Ellensburg. Miss Oechsner, a past speech correction teacher in the Auburn Schools, will be re­ membered from previous Central play productions. Berghoff Plays Husband Roger Berghoff, Naches, a mem­ ber of last Spring's Carousel cast, portrays Charles Condomine, an author. Barbara Young, Yakima, will be seen as Elvira Condomine, Charles' first wife. Ruth, the sec­ ond wife, is played by Mae McGill, North Bend. The other cast members are Jo­ ann Baybarz, Olympia, as Edith, the maid Bob Hosman, Granger, as Dr. Bradman and Karlene Holmes as Violet Bradman, the doctor's wife. The stage crew, handling the set and properties, consists of Bill Mill­ er, Don Bluher and Jackie Eley. The production crew is mainly stu­ dents from Speech 161, the Dra­ matic Production class. Record Run 1,997 Up to this last year "Blithe Spirit'' had a record of the longest run for a non-musical play. It ran continuously for 1,997 perform­ ances. The only adjective that describes Noel Coward's career in the theater is phenomenal and that, too, is the only word that describes his play, "Blithe Spirit."
CENTRAL WASHINGTON COLLEGE, ELLENSBURG, WASH. FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1958 Enlightenment is the purpose of Central Washington Col- leg, but the word in its archaic physical meaning of lighting up is being overlooked all over the campus. At night the campus is enshrouded in darkness and shadows because there are too few lights. Walking home from the library at night is a gloomy trek either way you go. Both the front walks past the Administration building and the auditorium, and the way through the parking lot behind the Ad building to the CUB are quite dark. There are two night lamps on the front lawn of the library, the Ad building and the auditorium—but these aren't lit. The passage between the Classroom and the Administration build­ ings, too, has a non-functioning lamp which would help the parking lot situation. A light at the north end of the Industrial Art building is needed. The whole parking lot, including its east driveway, stands in darkness when the sun goes down. Kamola, Sue Lombard and Munson halls are surrounded by unlit lamps. Are these meant merely for daytime decora­ tion? There are two lamps in the park between Munson and Webster's that are never lighted. One other walk that is in need of illumination runs from the CUB past the Men's Gym and the Commons. Here again, another of those unlit lamps guards the gym entrance. It's Fatal To Be Structured About 1900 a teacher took a hen to a classroom and while it was good as an innovation, it was simply a hen. . . About 1910 the hen became a PROBLEM. About 1915 she had become a PROJECT. About 1919 this hen was a UNIT OF WORK. About 1925 she was an ACTIV­ ITY. In the year 1930 she became the basis of an INTEGRATED PRO­ GRAM. In 1936 the poor old hen became a FRAME OF REFERENCE. This almost killed her, but she pulled through only to become the center of GROUP DYNAMICS by 1942. In 1944 the hen struggled through the CORE CURRICULUM, but dur­ ing 1951-52 she became STRUCT- URED SHE JUST UP AND DIED. campus crier Telephone 5-1147 — 5-2191 — Member — Associated Collegiate Press Published every Friday, except test week and holidays, during the year and bi-weekly during summer session as the official publication of the Student Government Asso­ ciation of Central Washington College, Ellensburg.

Cinemascoop This evening, movie goers will see "Mother Wore Tights" in the College Auditorium. With a glam­ orous theater background, appro­ priate music and color, this is one of Betty Grable's better pictures. "Little Fugitive" is the second fea­ ture. Saturday night's entertainment stars the hilarious Kettles. Fans will enjoy Pa and Ma's riotous chase to round up their little Ket­ tles. In contrast to this comedy will be the psychoanalytic study of a young mental patient who finally achieves normal happiness through the help of her loving hus­ band. "The Snake Pit" is aptly named and superbly filmed to star the great Olivia de Haviland. & LITTLE MAN?* CAMPUS f\ u~&-t 12 fate* 4 DID THE FACULTY MEETING 60 OEHZ?" mmm Platter Chatter Cliburn Set For Big Sales By MICKEY HAMLIN Van Cliburn, the Texan pianist who won the International Tchai­ kovsky Piano Competition in Mos­ cow this year, is soaring up the classical best selling charts with his first album for RCA Victor— "Tchaikovsky: Concerto Number One," the composition he played for the contest. Receives Fat Contract Cliburn received one of the fat- est recording contracts ever offer­ ed a young artist. His RCA con­ tract has built-in guarantees for "long term security." In other words, the royalties from his re­ cordings will be strung out over several years. With such a contract and long term security, Cliburn seems set for many years to come. Presley Gets Similar Pact RCA artist Elvis Presley, a long cry from Cliburn, received a sim­ ilar contract which guarantees the rock 'n' roll star $1,000 a year for 20 years. Cliburn performs the favorite work of the great master in a manner rarely captured on wax. Critics the world over agree that Cliburn is a superb keyboard art­ ist—and this waxing just proves the point.

FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1958 CENTRAL WASHINGTON COLLEGE, ELLENSBURG, WASH. Closed Circuit Radio Hits CWCE New Broadcasts Supplement TV Where to go? That was the problem Robert Slingland faced last summer when he was selected to teach in the new area of Radio and Television at Central. The new courses were designed to give students an opportunity to acquire a minor in the broadcast­ ing field. They were offered in Radio and TV production and op­ eration for the first time, in the new Speech, Drama, Radio and Television division. The small con­ trol room and classroom backstage in the auditorium, which had been used in a former radio course, could not be adapted to fit the various needs of the courses. White House Empty The little white house on Walnut Street was empty. It had been the home of faculty and campus em­ ployes for a number of years. With administrative approval, Slingland began the remodeling job which has turned the former resi­ dence into a small radio station, equipped for both radio and tele­ vision broadcasting. The Radio and Television began over a year ago when the Board of Trustees established the new division. The plan was initiated from a proposal to bring closed- circuit television to the campus. This was the result of a year's study of the problem of increased enrollment and problems with add­ ed student-teachers and observa­ tions. Education Problem Growing "We are unique in Ellensburg," Slingland said. "We had few pub­ lic schools into which we could program an expanding education­ al sequence of courses. Something had to be done to relieve both the Ellensburg schools and the Col­ lege of this growing problem," he added. A closed-circuit TV system was felt to be a partial answer. Obser­ vations could be carried on with a minimum disturbance to the classes and differences in time schedules among the schools would be somewhat alleviated. "It is necessary to educate teach­ ers for this new medium," Sling­ land said. "Educators are inter­ ested in the medium of broad­ casting. We want them to learn the background of development and the history of broadcasting by ac­ tually operating the facilities," he added. Though Slingland is closed cir­ cuit TV coordinator on the campus, sew?? •MM. JIM WALLACE and Alva Shriner operate the equipment in the closed-circuit radio control room which will broadcast pro­ grams to the dormitories. Lewis Presents TV Assembly An assembly on Closed-Circuit Educational Television will be pre­ sented in the College Auditorium on Monday, July 28, at 8 o'clock, Robert Slingland, instructor of ra­ dio and television, said today. This program will be in conjunction with a workshop in Educational Television and Radio to be held on the campus July 22 to August 1, Slingland said. Dr. Philip Lewis, one of the fore­ most authorities in the nation to­ day on the use of closed-circuit television in education, will pre­ sent the assembly program. Currently the director of the Bu­ reau of Instructional Materials of the Chicago Public Schools, Dr. Lewis is a member of the editorial staff of the Educational Screen and Audio-Visual Guide, Slingland said. Dr. Lewis has been teacher and administrator and for many years was active in audio-visual aids in education. the CCTV comes under the admin­ istration of the division of Visual Instruction. Closed-Circuit Radio Planned Currently, additional plans are underway for a closed-circuit radio broadcasting system covering cam­ pus dormitories. "It should be in operation during the second term" he said. "We will soon be installing transmitters throughout the campus and will tell the students when to expect it so that they can find us on the dial." Rearrangement Planned For Advisory Offices A new office arrangement for student advisory personnel will be ready by fall quarter if plans for remodeling the first level in the Administration buildng are com­ pleted on schedule, according to Dr. E. E. Samuelson, dean of in­ struction. "It has long been the desire of the administration to have the ad­ visory offices together in one wing," said Dr. Samuelson. "Of­ fices for Mrs. Annette Hitchcock, dean of women Dean Stinson, dean of men and Dr. Samuelson, dean of instruction will, under the new plan, be adjacent to one an­ other." The classroom, A 103, will be modernized into offices for Dr. Samuelson. Extensive renovation of wall, ceilings, and floors, and addition of cupboards and files will begin promptly. Mrs. Hitchcock will occupy Dr. Samuelson's pres­ ent offices. Dean Stinson is al­ ready located nearby. Dr. Samuelson pointed out that there will be no loss of classroom space as Mrs. Hitchcock's former offices on the third floor will then be converted into a classroom. These improvements are part of a long range plan of clean up and renovation which students of CWCE are already appreciating, notably, the new lavatory facilities, new doors in the administration build­ ing and other general improve­ ments. Slingland Directs Educational TV, Radio Workshop Central's first Educational Tele­ vision and Radio Workshop opened July 21, with Dr. Lester Beck of Portland State College giving an analysis of educational TV in the United States at the opening ses­ sion. Most sessions will be held in the newly remodeled Radio and Tele­ vision Center at 806 Walnut Street. Workshop Open To All Designed to stress the impor­ tance and value of educational ra­ dio and television to all school per­ sonnel, the workshop is open to all campus students. There are no prerequisites. National and regional figures cur­ rently doing work in educational broadcasting will act as consult­ ants, according to Robert Sling­ land, workshop director. Dr. Phil­ ip Lewis, Chicago Schools, and Dr. Richard B. Lewis, San Jose State, are among the workshop consult­ ants. Members Produce Show The closed circuit TV system and equipment designed for work in teacher education will be used for an educational show, written and produced by workshop members during the last two days of the course. Students will learn basic camera operations and on-the-air techniques. Mr. Norman Jensen, Senior Director, KCTS-TV Educa­ tional Channel 9, Seattle, and Miss June Dilworth, King County TV Coordinator, are directors of this project. "Students in the workshop do not need experience in this field," Slingland said. "It is the purpose of the workshop to show what is being done and what possibilities television has in education." Consultants To Appear "We are bringing in Lewis, of San Jose State College, and Thom­ as Bostic, Jr., General Manager, Cascade Broadcasting, Yakima, to tell what is being done in these states in ETC," he added. Representatives of top manufac­ turers of TV equipment will also take part in the workshop, and will bring equipment displays to the campus. Each workshop period is sched­ uled for 6th, 7th and 8th periods, and participants of the 10 sessions, which end on August 1, will earn two college credits. Visitors are welcome to the sessions, Slingland said. Pre-requisite for the Camping Education for Crippled Children Workshop is the Crippled Child Workshop. Tabularasa is a blank mind— the mind before impressions are recorded upon it by experience.
4 CENTRAL WASHINGTON COLLEGE, ELLENSBURG, WASH. FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1958 PLANNING THE SGA social hour are Paul Lambertsen, summer SGA secretary Kathy Carstairs, chairman Mrs. Olive Schnebly, Union director and Mrs. Esta Young, CUB snack bar manager. 200 Attend SGA Social More than 200 students and fac­ ulty members attended the infor­ mal reception which was held July 15 in the CUB lounge, Mrs. Olive Schnebly, Union director, said to­ day. It was well received and every one seemed to enjoy it, Mrs. Schnebly said. She added that it was one of the nicest things done each year, and always seems to be appreciated. Kathy Carstairs was chairman of the event, which is sponsored by SGA. $7,260,000 Set For New Housing Construction of a 42-unit apart­ ment project for married students of CWCE, at a cost of close to a half million dollars, is planned for this fall, Dr. Robert E. McConnell, president, announced prior to leav­ ing on a naval cruise to Brazil. The apartment project is part of a $1,260,000 student housing fund which also includes a dormitory for 200 single men students, Dr. McConnell said. Architectural plans will be start­ ed immediately, and it is hoped that work will begin Oct. 1, Dr. McConnell said. The new student housing units are to be financed through a Housing and Home Finance Agency loan to the col­ lege. The apartment buildings, located between Seventh and Eighth ave­ nues and Ruby and Sprague streets, will be of brick veneer two stories high with off-street parking for each unit. Swiss Geographer Adds Central To List Of Travel Experiences Crippled Children To Camp Aug. 2 Many crippled children from throughout the state will enjoy a week of camping and hiking as a result of a series of workshops sponsored by CWCE in cooperation with the Washington Society for Crippled Children and Adults, Dr. Maurice Pettit, professor of edu­ cation, said today. The first of these workshops will be held on the campus starting July 21 and is open to college students, teachers, counselors and personnel workers. This workshop will be a pre-requisite for the sec­ ond which will start on August 2 and will be held in the Teanaway camping area. This camp will last two weeks with a new group cf about 25 youngsters each week, Dr. Pettit said. This is the fourth year for this camping program for crippled chil­ dren here at Central and many applications are considered each year. About five youngsters are ac­ cepted in each group who are not handicapped and they help the counselors by giving the individual attention that some of the more seriously handicapped need. These children are given, through this program, a week of fun that they will never forget, but, more than that, they are given a week of valuable education in conserva­ tion, camp-craft, art, music, hob­ bies and physical therapy, Dr. Pettit said. They receive special help from the camp director, Burgess John­ son, from Highline, who is trained as an educator and an outdoor ed­ ucation specialist experienced with all ages of children and with camp­ ing. BY JUDY MORICAL t One of the most interesting per­ sons on Central's campus this sum­ mer is Dr. Dieter Brunnschweiler, visiting professor of geography. Although Dr. Brunnschweiler teaches at Michigan State Univer­ sity during the regular school year, much of 1he interest he holds for Central students stems from the fact that he formerly taught at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, where he also received his doctor­ ate. Dr. Brunnschweiler has traveled extensively, both in the United States and throughout the world. He has made three trips from Switzerland to the United States, and on these trips has managed to see all but one of the 48 states. In addition, he has visited most of the European states including Poland, Hungary and Czechoslo­ vakia. "I have a weakness for Scandi­ navia," Dr. Brunnschweiler said, adding that he had visited the Scandinavian countries three times. He has also made trips to North Africa, northern Canada, including Labrador, and lived for a year in Puerto Rico where he did map­ ping work. Travel is not just for enjoyment, Dr. Brunnschweiler said. He added that he liked to see behind the landscape and find out why things are as they are. He believes the geographer's job is to look intel­ ligently at the world and to under­ stand the "why" of things. From students in his classes have come reports of Dr. Brunnschweil- er's ability as a linguist. He speaks WllH Dr. Dieter Brunnschweiler German, French, Italian, Roman­ ic, English and Spanish fluently, and said he could "get along" in Dutch, Swedish and Greek. When asked how American schools differed from those in Switzerland, Dr. Brunnschweiler replied that in Switzerland the em­ phasis was on learning as opposed to the large number of extra-cur­ ricular activities which character­ ize American schools. In Switzer­ land, teachers and schools are highly respected and are the im­ portant thing in a student's life. "People should know more about geography," Dr. Brunnschweiler continued. He added that knowing place names and locations is im­ portant but realizing why things are as they are is more important. Dr. Brunnschweiler has done special work in the field of physical geography, including study of cli­ mate and land forms. Tumbling Sky Traveler Appears to Sweecyites What is it—a rocket or Sputnik in? "I saw what looked to me like a rocket over Ellensburg Monday night," William Kuhlman said. This was July 14. Mrs. Melvin Wippel, visiting home economics instructor, and her husband saw it Tuesday night. They said it looked like a falling star which made the complete cir­ cuit across the sky. "The flashing of an airplane's position light as it is passing over­ head" was the description given the object by Dr. Wilfred New- schwander, professor of chemistry, as he saw it at 9 p.m. Wednesday night. "The flashes of light came once every four seconds as it moved from southwest to northeast into the clouds in a four or five minute period. Educational Programs Planned for Film Fairs Transportation films will be fea­ tured in the coming film fair, Mrs. Ruth Adams, audio-visual mana­ ger, said today. "Train Trip Through the Rocky Mountains," "Freighter At Sea" and "Airport-Passenger Flight 376" will be shown on the July 29 pro­ gram. "Laws of Motion," "Preface to Chemistry," "Demonstrating with Light" and "Human Machine" are the films scheduled for July 31. Included in the Aug. 5 program are "Midnight Ride of Paul Re­ vere," "Colonial Life in New Eng­ land," "World War I" and "French Explorations in the New World." "Renaissance: Its Beginnings in Italy," "David Oistrakh Playing: Slavonic Dance," "David Oistrakh Playing: Mazurka" and "Romance of Silver Design" will be shown Aug. 7.
FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1958 CENTRAL WASHINGTON COLLEGE, ELLENSBURG, WASH. 5 90 Attend PTA Conference McConnell Delivers Welcome Approximately 90 participants registered for the annual Parent- Teacher Summer Leadership Conference which was held on campus Monday through Wednesday of this week, Dr. Edwin Read, Confer­ ence director, said today. S — The initial conference meeting, n A . Bowen Attends NEA Convention which was held Monday, featured a welcoming address by CWCE President, Dr. Robert McConnell, and the introduction of Ed Erick- son, director of public service. Dr. Bearnice Skeen, WWCE, was lead­ ership consultant for the first day. Another highlight of Monday's activities was an address by Dr. Pettit, professor of Education at Central, who spoke on "Who Should Go To College?" Visiting Faculty Featured Tuesday's program featured three members of the CWCE visit­ ing faculty, Dr. Leslie Armour, Montana State University, visiting professor of philosophy Mr. Eu­ gene Smith, Longview, director of the Gifted Child Workshop and Dr. Curtis Howd, visiting professor of education from Ball State Teach­ ers College. These three served with Mrs. Alma Read of the High- line Schools in a symposium on the gifted child. "The Continuous Progress School," an address by Miss Fern Grant, visiting professor from Berkeley, California, was featured Wednesday. Also on Wednesday's agenda was a demonstration by Dr. A. H. Howard of the CWCE faculty of the use of films in PTA work. Delegates to the conference are PTA officers from those counties in Washington extending from the Canadian border on the north to the Columbia River on the south, Dr. Read said. He added that Mrs. LaMar Oldridge, Walla Wal­ la, is chairman of the conference. Read said that the primary pur­ pose of the conference was to give leadership training to PTA work­ ers throughout the state. He added the three main objectives were to give training in leadership tech­ niques to be used in local PTA work, to demonstrate certain pro­ gramming techniques, including the use of the address or lecture, buzz sessions, the symposium, role- playing, listening panels, work groups and the use of films. The Russian system is under­ going a major transition away from the European tradition of ed­ ucating only an elite group and now faces many of the same prob­ lems we have been grappling with over the past 20 years, Gerald H. Read, who recently returned from an educational tour of the USSR, told delegates of the 96th annual NEA convention. Larry Bowen, 1957 CWCE gradu­ ate, attended the convention as a representative of Richland. Almost 15,000 teachers and ad­ ministrators from some 6,000 local and state affiliates met in Cleve­ land, Ohio, June 29-July 4 for the NEA convention. The theme of this meeting was "Our Future Goes to School To­ day." NEA president, Dr. Lyman V. Ginger, predicted that by 1965 America will have almost 11 mil­ lion students in public high schools alone and that elementary-school enrollment will be up 15.5 percent. At the convention's close, Ruth Stout, director of field programs of the Kansas State Teachers As­ sociation, took over as the new NEA president. The new NEA headquarters building, scheduled for completion in November, will be dedicated in Washington, D.C., Feb. 8-10, 1959. Bowen 1956-57 second national vice president of the Student NEA, attended the SNEA convention at Bowling Green, Ohio, previous to the NEA meeting. Sv/eecy Libraries Get 221 Books, Periodicals Books, books, books! A total of 221 books were ac­ quired by Central's libraries in the month of June, Miss Margaret Mount, librarian said today. Of this number, 180 books and 32 bound periodicals were purchased for the main library. The CES library acquired 7 books and 2 bound periodicals, Miss Mount said.

Dr. McConnell Describes South American Naval Trip CWCE Mathematician Receives Fellowship Robert Duane Jeske, a June graduate from Central Washington College, has been awarded a Du- Pont fellowship to the University of Chicago, the CWCE Science division learned today. Jeske is in school this summer and will receive a B.A. degree in Education in August. He received a B. A. degree in Arts and Sci­ ences, with a major in mathemat­ ics, in June. Jeske, from Warden, is the broth­ er of Dr. Ernest Jeske of Ellens- burg. Jeske received his fellowship for secondary school teachers of math­ ematics. It amounts to a grant of $1200 plus $840 lor a year's tuition. Back from a month's cruise to^ South America on the Carrier U.S.S. Ranger, Dr. Robert E. Mc­ Connell, president of Central Wash­ ington College, said today that the trip was "an exceptionally infor­ mative and enjoyable experience." Dr. McConnell was one of 36 civilians taken by the Navy on the ship's cruise to South America as a step in the "people to people" program of President Eisenhower and the U.S. State department. "I feel that it was a very in­ formative cruise and one in which all of the guests received the ben­ efit not only of a more complete understanding of operations of a Navy carrier but of the peoples of the South American countries we visited," Dr. McConnell said this morning. Good Will Worthwhile Dr. McConnell said he thought the good will contacts made by the ship's personnel and civilians in the ports visited were "most worthwhile." In both Trinidad and Rio de Janeiro groups of citizens were invited aboard ship to inspect the carrier. Officers from the carrier and its civilian guests were entertained at receptions in Port Au Spain at the home of the American counsul and in Rio at the U.S. ambassador's house. "The Navy made it possible for us to meet and to talk with some of the leading businessmen and government officials in each port we visited," Dr. McConnell said. "The spirit of optimism seems to pervade the countries, particularly in Brazil. I heard no excessive war talk, even though the latest crisis in the Middle East broke while I was in Rio," he added. Tariff Adjustment Needed Dr. McConnell said he felt, after his discussions with South Ameri­ can businessmen, that adjustment of tariffs to allow considerable in­ ternational trade probably was an issue for the United States govern­ ment to study carefully. "All of the people with whom I talked were friendly and seemed most interested in the United States," Dr. McConnell said. "We received the same courteous, friendly treatment everywhere we went." Dr. McConnell said he was par­ ticularly glad to have been able to visit the University of Brazil, an outstanding South American in­ stitution. Island Campus Developing "I was able to visit the University during the three days we were in Rio," he said. "The University is developing a new campus on an island, which is close to the main­ land and is connected by a bridge. It was an interesting experience,: talking with the heads of the foreign institution of higher learn­ ing and I found that they have a problem similar to that faced by our own colleges and universities —that of rising costs which make it difficult to complete needed buildings." Dr. McConnell also visited a rural college near Rio, em institu­ tion which corresponds to agricul­ tural colleges in the United States. In the group of civilians on the cruise were college officials, news­ paper publishers and representa­ tives of labor and churches. Cruise Provides Training "The cruise provided a grand op­ portunity, too, for 200 midshipmen from Navy ROTC units of the East and Central states to receive ex­ perience at sea before starting their last year of college training."
