Campus € ri«*r 1961 Summer VOLUME 34, NUMBER 25 CENTRAL WASHINGTON COLLEGE, ELLENSBURG, WASH. FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1961 Committees Meet With Graduates On M.A. Plan Graduate committees have been appointed for nearly all students who plan to receive a master of education degree during the sum­ mer of 1961. "Committees are appointed in such a way that each member of the committee will have some­ thing to contribute to the exami­ nation and to the total graduate experience of the student," Dr. Roy F. Ruebel, director of gradu­ ate studies, explained. The committee is required for all students, whether working on Plan I or Plan II . The only dif­ ference in function is that the committee is available for help with the thesis of those on Plan I. In all cases the committee will have charge of the oral examina­ tion. Dr. T. Naumann Attends Seminar At Harvard U. mmm IMSflil DEMONSTRATING ONE of the new teaching devices that will eventually be used at Central, Dr. Theodor Naumann, as­ sociate professor of psychology explains the advantages of such a machine. College Anticipates Future With CES Play Sculpture The College Elementary School now boasts the only play sculp­ ture equipment in this area. It is designed to entice children to more creative play, stated Don Scott, an art major at Central. Scott designed and built the play sculpture as part of the thesis for his master's degree in art. "This new type of playground equipment is being widely used in Europe and in the Eastern United States," Scott said. Bill Ranniger, principle of the College Elementary School, and Frank Bach, professor of art at Central, were instrumental in start­ ing the play sculpture idea last summer. "I have received all types of reactions toward the play sculpture from adults," Scott said. "But the children are very enthusiastic and can hardly wait until they can play on it," he added. The sculpture is being paid for by the Ellensburg school district and by money donated by the College Elementary School P.T.A. Inscape Publishes Professor's Work "Inscape" appears July 20 and may be purchased at the CUB information booth. The magazine features essays, poetry, prose, book reviews, photo­ graphs, painting, and sculpture. This quarter's magazine features art work by visiting professors. SGA has recently voted $2,053 for the publication, including the magazine on their budget. The magazine sells for 50 cents and may be purchased any time after July 20. Back issues are available. I VIEWING THE model and also the completed sculpture are Frank Bach, art instructor, and Don Scott, Central student, who designed the new playground equipment at College Elementary School playground. Lack Of Business Closes Snack Bar Closing of the CUB snackbar on weekends will be effective July 15, announced Dr. Dean Stinson, chair­ man of the Union Board. Because the students have not used this faculty enough to war­ rant the expense of keeping it open, it will close at 5 p.m. on Friday and will not open until 8 a.m. Monday. The building will remain open including lounges, reading rooms, and the game room throughout the weekend. Coffee, cold drinks, cigarettes and candy will be available at the passthrough window in the game room, from noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. "Cooking facilities will not be used and meals of any sort will not be available on the weekend," Stinson said. By STEVE TEULARI Selected to attend the first semi­ nar at Harvard University's psy­ chological laboratories on "Pro­ gramed Instruction" June 19 - 30, was Dr. Theodor F. Naumann, associate professor of psychology at Central. Candidates were chos­ en from institutions of higher edu­ cation (Harvard, Yale, etc.) and from business and industry (IBM, etc). About 30 specialists in programed learning from the US and Canada were selected on the basis of their past work exper­ ience and research in the applica­ tion of teaching machines. Among the seminar leaders were Dr. B. F. Skinner, Dr. James Hol­ land, Dr. Bill Sullivan, Dr. John Barlow, and others. Group Shares Experiences The experiences of the group members were utilized and in­ cluded: the teaching of computer programing, teaching special sub­ jects in medical schools, auto­ mated teaching of basic psy­ chology, of spelling and other sub­ jects. Participants of the seminar were required to go through an inteiv sive automated program in psy­ chology. Each member was also required to construct a program which he intended to use in his area of specialty. Dr. Naumann's program on "Principles of Program Writing" has been requested by Mr. L. Smith to be used in the training programmers. Smith has been ap­ pointed to . put into programed form the brand new text books developed by the School Mathe­ matics Study Group supported by the National Science Foundation. This group is moving from Yale to Stanford University this year. Pre-schoolers Learn One of the interesting experi­ ences of the seminar was the teaching of visual discrimination with pre-school children. Another high light was the showing of a film on early reading, writing and training of pre-school children be­ tween the ages of two and one- half to five and one-half years old. Dr. Bill Sullivan of Hollins College, Va., discussed the several years of extensive programing in­ struction in various areas as fol­ lows: French, German, algebra, English and many others. Dr. Sullivan pointed out largely that, programs are developed by trial and error. He is now with the program department of Ency­ clopaedia Britannica Films which (Con't. On Page 4)
2 CENTRAL WASHINGTON COLLEGE, ELLENSBURG, WASH. FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1961 America Mourns Author The "lost generation" was immortalized with the recent death of Ernest Hemingway. This product of a subtle realm jolted and transformed almost single handedly the literature and the progress of thought of men and women in every country in the world. Hemingway's prose style and ability to expose the ele­ ments, emotions, and attitudes expressed in naturalism are evident in any one of his works from "For Whom the Bell Tolls" to "The Sun Also Rises." This was achieved from his early journalistic work as a newspaper reporter, and his style is now modeled by scores of writers. Since he traveled extensively in France, Spain, and even throughout the world, he has become one of the world's universal men. But he ended life as he began it, in the heart­ land of his country to which he brought wide acclaim and from which he drew his art. Although we have seen other authors die, the late Er­ nest Hemingway is not only a loss to the novel, but to the American public. $5 Fee Discourages Students Wishing To Use Grupe Center A decision made by the administrative council this spring has helped to firmly entrench a monopoly on Central's campus. This monopoly is the College Union building. The decision came in the form of a $5 breakage charge for use of the Conference Center kitchen or the College Elementary School Social Room kitchens. Two reasons have been given for this decis­ ion. The reason was first, to discourage use of the Conference Center and the social room in favor of the CUB facilities. This policy sounds reasonable enough until one considers the CUB's policy. Groups using the CUB are not allowed to bring in or furnish their own refreshments. Any food or drink consumed in the CUB must be purchased through the CUB Snack bar. This policy is a distinct disadvantage in at least two cases. The small group that is working on a very small budget or no budget at all must do without as the CUB policy outlaws the potluck system. Larger groups operating on a small budget will have diffi­ culty finding a room large enough to hold them in the CUB and then paying for the desired refreshments. The second reason offered for the Administrative Council's decision is the $5 breakage fee. Charging a breakage fee is only good sense when one considers the fact that the state does not allot any funds to cover replacement of the kitchen equipment, but one might ask, "How often does breakage amounting to $5 occur?" It seems that the college should have enough money within a year's time at those rates to buy a few chairs. Undoubtedly the Administrative Council had good reasons for the decision but on closer inspection the decision seems to work more against the students' interest than for them. The decision ought to be reconsidered. College Students Ignore Education In Assemblies As different as hot and cold, summer and winter—that's the difference between this session and the regular terms. Gray hairs and high heels are so much in abundance it's dif­ ficult to distinguish the students from the professors. One pro­ fessor admitted he was teaching composition to a woman who had been teaching composition for 20 years. On weekends the campus gives the appearance of being perma­ nently closed but miraculously a gigantic exodus from nooks and crannies around the state begins late on Sunday and by Monday morning the campus is teeming campus cner Telephone 5-1147—5-5323 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 Gov­ ernment Association of Central Washington College, Ellensburg.

Assignments are handed in on time or a few days before. Themes are polished and mis­ spelled words are hard to find. The library is full of students a few minutes after it opens at 7:30 a.m. and stays full until clos­ ing time at 10 p.m. Despite this scholarly atmos­ phere and general class enthusi­ asm, however, one resemblance can be observed between the summer student and the regu­ lar student. Both seem to have an aversion for, or perhaps just a disinterest in, some of the more scholastic offerings of the assembly program. Last Monday night a guest speaker entertained 15 students in the CUB Lounge. The speak­ er was a book reviewer. De­ spite advance publicity, only 15 students, a Crier reporter, and the two CUB employes welcom­ ed the lady. Previous assemblies have not been able to boast a much bet­ ter turnout. Either students are just too busy to take advantage of the opportunities to learn from guest speakers and assemblies, or the quality of assemblies could be improved by touching on subjects nearer and dearer to the hearts and interests, or college students just aren't interested in educa­ tion outside of the classroom. It's an interesting question. Central Custodian Dies After Crash James Wear who worked in the Music building as custodian, watchman and weekend mainten­ ance man since September 1959 died July 5 in the Quincy hospital. His death was the result of an automobile accident on July 3. Wear lived in Thorp fifteen years previously. He is survived by his wife, two daughters, four brothers and one sister. Dr. Eickhoff Performs Central's professor of music, Dr. Henry J. Eickhoff, gave his organ recital Wednesday. The recital was given in the College Auditorium and was open to the public. Dr. Eickhoff has been an as­ sociate professor of music at Central sine© 1950 and received his Ph. d. from Northwestern University.

FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1961 CENTRAL WASHINGTON COLLEGE, ELLENSBURG, WASH. 3 CWC Limits Pavilion Pool To Students The pavilion pool will be limited to student and faculty use for the remainder of summer session, Abe Poffenroth, associate professor of education, explained today. The limitation is necessary be­ cause the pool has become so pop­ ular that it has been overcrowded this summer, Poffenroth said. Children have been falling on the slippery surface of the deck, Poff­ enroth said. Rubber mats have been placed around the pool but the continued large numbers using the pool crowd some off of the mats. The maximum number which can safely use the pool at one time has been set at 80 persons but with the number of children using the pool this summer, this num­ ber has been exceeded, Poffen­ roth explained. Another factor in the decision to close the pool to children is the fact that whereas Central stu­ dents have insurance, there is no insurance on the younger set. Re-surfacing the deck of the pool is now scheduled to take place be­ tween the closing of summer ses­ sion and the opening of fall quar­ ter. t d i — : A PROUD family appraises their son's art work. Left to right, Mrs. Mary Purser, Jean Purser, Stuart Purser the father, and Bob Purser, the son. All members of the family are artis­ tically inclined and share in their interest in art. Bob is a senior at Central. S. Purser Family Pursues Art Paris Publishes Four Paintings In Art Magazine Four watercolor paintings by Dr. Louis Kollmeyer, chairman of Cen­ tral's department of arts and in­ dustrial arts, have recently been published in the Paris art maga­ zine "La Revue Moderne." Dr. Kollmeyer's work appeared in the June issue of the French publication which described his paintings as "blending well, gen­ erally in his compositions, some realistic elements with some pur­ suit of abstraction, and surround­ ing with halos the broken forms of modulated colors." The magazine features the works of artists throughout the world. Its editors travel abroad visiting art exhibits and invite selected art­ ists to submit their works. It was upon viewing his work at the Northwest Annual Exhibition in Se­ attle that the editors invited Dr. Kollmeyer to submit his water- colors. Now beginning his fourth year at Central, Dr. Kollmeyer has ex­ hibited his paintings individually in several college galleries and at museums including the Portland Art Museum, the Seattle Art Mu­ seum, the Walker Museum in Minn­ eapolis, and the Ross Museum in New Jersey. By DENNIS GOW For the Stuart Purser family, the old saying, "like father, like son," would have to be extend­ ed to "like father, like son, like mother, like daughter," when one considers the foursome's tal- ents in the area of art. Purser, the father, is a visiting professor on Central's campus as the summer replacement in the art department for Reino Randall, Central art professor, who is in Hawaii for six weeks of teaching at the Honolulu Academy of Arts. Purser has had a long and suc­ cessful career in art education, having been the chairman, of the art departments at Louisiana College and the Universities of Chattanooga, Mississippi and Florida. He is on a year's leave of absence from Florida. Ilis own education was at Louisiana College, the Art Institute of Chi­ cago and Ohio State University. He has had equal success in the art field outside of education. His work has been displayed at numerous exhibits throughout the country, including several one-man shows. Last year, one of his oil paintings earned him a first place award in the Southeast Annual Art Show in Atlanta, Ga., the leading exhibit in that section of the country. Mrs. Mary Purser, like her husband, has had a successful career in art. Her education in­ cludes a master's degree from the University of Florida and study with her husband in Eur­ ope. Besides teaching, she has done commercial illustration and design work. She has taught at the college level and until coming west, taught at the ele­ mentary school at the Univer­ sity of Florida. Bob Purser is no stranger to the Central campus he has been attending school here for the past three years. He has been active in the art department and has par­ ticipated in dramatics, being a member of Alpha Psi Omega, dra­ matics honorary. He is also airt editor for "Inscape," the college magazine, and hopes to enter into some area of art upon completion of studies here. Jean, the youngest Purser, is a high school sophomore and plans to follow the family path into art. She hopes to go into design work. Mr. and Mrs. Purser are not new to the Northwest he taught for a year at Washington State University. During their present stay, the Pursers hope to take ad­ vantage of the Washington out­ doors to do some camping, the Pursers' favorite recreational ac­ tivity. They have been impress­ ed with the friendliness of the col­ lege and city ,the local landscape and the climate they describe as "invigorating." Following Mr. Purser's ap­ pointment at Central, the family, with the exception of Bob, who will complete his senior year here, will move to Northridge, Calif., where the senior Purser will assume his new position as director of the graduate program in art at San Fernando State College. Bids Opened For Dorms Bids were opened at Central on a new $1 156,264 dormitory last Thursday, July 13, to be located on the east side of Chestnut street, immediately south of the canal. The building will be three floors high and will house men students in four-men units, similar to the plan used in the college's attract­ ive Stephens and Whitney men's dormitories. Four-room suites for four men include a study room, living room, bedroom and bath. Architects on the building are Culler, Gale, and Martell of Spo­ kane. The building will be erected with money from an HHFA loan to the college. The fund has been earmarked for Central and is a part of a $2,697,000 loan for which the college has applied to take care of its fast-mounting enroll­ ment. The loan will be paid off from student rental fees over a period of years. The building is designed to house 240 students in the four-man suites. The suites are arranged in three three-story wings, each of which will be supervised by a student counselor. One student counselor's office and one special study area are provided in each wing. A married student counselor's apart­ ment is provided also. Other special features of the building will include a main gen­ eral lounge, an office, waiting room, laundry, work room, kit­ chenette, rest rooms, and storage space. Crier Recogniies Error Last issue Dr. Odette Golden was referred to as assistant pro­ fessor of English. The Crier apologizes and rec­ ognizes Dr. Golden's status as associate professor of romance languages. CUB Offers New Facilities Central's new Student Union building has many new facilities for the students of Central "this summer. The building has been remodeled and enlarged to meet the ever increasing enrollment of the college. There are two committee meet­ ing rooms which are at the dis­ posal of students by request of the director of the building. The new Game Room includes pool and ping pong as well as cards, checkers, chess and other similar games. Soft drinks and coffee are permissible in this room also. Room 203 has been set up for off campus students to use as a lunchroom. The Browsing Room, just to the right of the foyer contains many leading newspapers of the North­ west and many magazines at the students' disposal. The TV room is at the north entrance to the foyer. 8 "Character is simply a habit long continued." Plutarch
4 CENTRAL WASHINGTON COLLEGE, ELLENSBURG, WASH. FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1961 Board Of Trustees Pays Tribute To Two Former Staff Members Tribute to two previous staff members was paid when the Ed- Psych building and the conference center were named for the late Dr. George H. Black and the late Miss Mary A. Grupe. Dr. Black was president of Central from 1916 to 1930. He was the father of Mrs. Dorothy Bonny, of Ellensburg, who has been a civic and state leader for many years. Miss Grupe was an instructor in education and psychology and was director of personnel work at Cen­ tral for 15 years, starting at the beginning of World War I. Dr. Black's concepts of a college of education, were in advance of his time. He firmly established the fine reputation of the then Ellensburg Normal School as one of the best in the nation. His philosophy of a college in­ cluded a broad background in the field of education and also an understanding of and experience in fine arts, home arts, music and literature. Dr. Black Leads Way It was Dr. Black who introduced the practice training centers for student teachers in various public schools of the area. After leaving Central Dr. Black continued his own professional studies at New York University where he was granted the degree of doctor of philosophy in 1933. He also became provost and pres­ ident of Newark University. Dr. and Mrs. Black moved to Menlo Park, Calif., when he retired in 1947. He resided there until his death in 1952. Miss Grupe Became Pioneer Miss Grupe did pioneer work in applied psychology in her classes at Central and in work with the general public. She organized and administered a program of student personnel guidance which was among the first of such programs in Normal schools in the United States. Troubles Plague Campus Movies The scheduled motion pictures have not arrived in the past be­ cause of misunderstanding be­ tween the SGA and the booking agents, Gordon Schaefer, SGA president, explained. "Films with a MGM label can not be shown at a college theatre which we did not realize," Schae­ fer said. The booking agent, Rarig Mo­ tion Picture Co., failed to notify SGA of this and also did not send the scheduled MGM films or an alternate. The other booking agent, West­ ern Cinema Guild, just recently moved to new quarters and the order for films was misplaced. The regular agent was also sick so the entire order was overlook­ ed. "The remaining films are expect­ ed to arrive as scheduled," Schae­ fer said. Playing this weekend will be "Sayonara" on Friday night at 8 p.m., starring Marlon Brando, Miiko Taka, Patricia Owens, and Red Buttons. The plot takes in the story of two American soldiers in­ terested in two Japanese girls. An American officer tries to dissuade his friend from marrying one and ends up acting as his best man. He soon finds himself enmeshed in the very situation he had look­ ed on askance. "The Proud and the Beautiful" will be shown Saturday night at 8 p.m. in the College Auditorium. mmMl Graduate Testing Set For Thursday Summer testing for graduate stu­ dents is scheduled for Thursday, July 27, in the College Auditor­ ium, according to information from the office of Dr. E. E. Samuelson, dean, of students. The English usage test will be­ gin at 2 p.m., spelling at 3 p.m., and reading at 3:25 p.m. Those eligible are graduate stu­ dents taking Ed. 507 who have missed one or more tests in class testing this summer, other poten­ tial M. E. candidates who have not previously taken all tests, and any who need to retake one or more tests taken previous to this summer. This last group does not include summer students in Ed. 507, since tests may be taken only once a quarter. Since only one retake on a test is allowed, students are advised not to attempt it until after ex­ tensive review of the skill involved. Interested persons are to sign up for the tests in Room 103, Administration building, and re­ ceive a separate slip for each test. No one will be admitted to tests without appropriate slips. A.C.E. tests taken last year will suffice for the reading tests now being given. Remember the cut­ off scores in senior norms are: reading, 25th percentile, English usage, 20th percentile, and spell­ ing, 15th percentile. ILLUSTRATING ONE of their dances are members of the Nishitani Dance Group. From left are Martha Nishitani, Jo Per­ kins, Sandra Neels and Lois McElroy. The group appeared in the auditorium last Thursday. 2,000 Enroll For Summer Nearly 2,000 students in summer session make Central's enroll­ ment the largest yet for summer, and 250 over the estimated figure, Enos Underwood, acting registrar, announced today. This includes the workshops and the regular classes, for both terms throughout the session. The regular dormitories, includ­ ing the new Stephens and Whit­ ney men's residence halls, have been turned over to the summer session students. Visiting staff members from many parts of the nation have joined members of the regular teaching faculty for the summer. Application has already been made by 1500 freshmen and trans­ fer students for fall quarter, Un­ derwood said. A new $500,000 women's dormi- iory is now under construction. Bids for another women's dormi­ tory of similar size, a new men's residence hall and new apartments for married students are planned. Financing of the new living quarters is made possible by an HHFA loan. Dr. Naumann Visits Harvard (Con't. From Page 1) is publishing an entire academic high school curriculum in pro­ gramed form. He also plans to publish a self-instructional reading program for three-year-old chil­ dren,. Machines Need Leaders A basic concern discussed at the Harvard seminar was the major need of the professional specialists to keep leadership in the teaching machine movement. "The great danger has arisen that commercial interests are tak­ ing over and may determine the future development in programed instruction." Dr. Skinner explain­ ed. Dr. Skinner also pointed out that teaching machines are still essential, contrary to what some publishing houses would like to say. "We hope to have a two-week workshop in teaching machines and programed instruction in the sum­ mer of 1962, but this is still in the planning stage," Dr. Naumann said. College Supports Research Dr. Naumann announced that Central and the Ellensburg Pub­ lic Schools have been jointly sup­ porting a research project, "De­ velopment of an Automated Teach­ ing Program for Handicapped Chil­ dren in the Public School." The first reports, concerning a basic spelling program, are now being prepared. Foringer machines have been used for this project. The handi­ capped pupils have responded well to the basic program. Dr. Nau­ mann is chief investigator. Re­ search assistant is William G. Woods. Students in educational psychol­ ogy will receive in the Fall, 1961, basic laboratory experience in, pro­ graming materials at the level at which they expect to teach. Cen­ tral has obtained a number of dif­ ferent types of teaching machines which shall be used for the student learning experiences as well as for research purposes. Central now has eight Foringers (Skinner type), and one Autotutor Mark H (electronic). Six Didak 501's are on order. Dr. Naumann is married and the father of two children. He holds five degrees ranging from his B.A., M.E., State College of Engineering, Essen, Germany, to a Ph.d., University of Oregon. He has been at Central since 1959. He has spent a year and one-half in Russia plus visiting 12 different countries. Mrs. Naumann is a professional nurse. They live at 808 Hobert Ave., Ellensburg, Wn.

Stephens and Acting President Perry Mitchell. Professor Stephens helped found the original Phi Delta Kappa chapter at the University of Indiana. Central Students Visit Seattle Art Museums Thirty Central art students spent Thursday in Seattle on a special art tour. Leaving early in the morning by chartered bus, the group, ac­ companied by visiting professors Stuart Purser and Robert Taug- ner, visited several places study­ ing furniture and architectural de­ sign. Stops included the Henry Art Gallery, Seattle Art Museum, Frye Museum and stores which featured contemporary furniture. CUB Witnesses Competition Of Thursday Evening Chess Checkmate! This isn't the nationally known TV program, but a group of Central students playing chess in the CUB lounge on Thursday. Students leave their books with coffee stained covers and the radiant sunshine of the campus to barge in on a session of bridge or chess in the reading room. In­ terested faculty and staff members tag along to take part and compete for the appropriate prizes. Each Thursday evening through­ out the summer quarter the recre­ ation department is sponsoring these sessions in the CUB from 7-9 p.m. Carl Ruud reported a total of 16,000 people attended Central's recreation events this year, and that there has been an increase in this summer's attendance at the events. A boost in attendance at events Central Receives High Honor Through Education Fraternity Central Washington College's high place in the field of educa­ tion received one more acknowledgement Saturday evening with the installation of the Epsilon Mu chapter of Phi Delta Kappa, in­ ternational education fraternity. The fraternity recognizes the insti­ tution for outstanding achievements and advancements in education and recognizes the individual for was said to be a total of 2056 for the first two weeks this sum­ mer compared with a 827 for last summer. The attendance has in­ creased over 200 per cent. A reason for the increase is the variety of events sponsored. Last summer a total of 14 events were sponsored in comparison with this summers total of 33 events. More events result in a better turnout, a greater amount of par­ ticipation, and in general, a great­ er amount of satisfaction, Ruud said. outstanding qualities, achieve­ ments and potential in the field. Bemis Installs Chapter The installation ceremonies were conducted by Dr. Maynard Bemis, executive secretary of Phi Delta Kappa from its headquarters in Bloomington, Ind., following a ban­ quet at the New York Cafe. "The fraternity is pleased to be­ come associated with an institu­ tion of the standing that Central enjoys," Dr. Bemis remarked. Election of officers followed im­ mediately in which Dr. Daryl Bas- ler became the first president of Epsilon Mu. William Brown was elected vice president Dr. Wayne Hertz, secretary-treasurer and Dr. E. E. Samuelson, faculty sponsor. Special recognition was bestow­ ed upon William T. Stephens, pro­ fessor emeritus at Central, in nam­ ing him honorary sponsor of the new chapter. Professor Stephens was one of the original founders of the first Phi Delta Kappa chap­ ter at the University of Indiana. Faculty Joins Group Activities began earlier in the afternoon with the initiation of new members into Phi Delta Kappa. They included college faculty members, faculty members from the Ellensburg, public schools, re­ cent and former graduates of Cen­ tral. The initiates were first question­ ed by examination committees in George Black Hall after which fol­ lowed the initiation ceremonies in the Mary A. Grupe Center. The officers of Nu chapter of Phi Delta Kappa from the University of Washington performed the ritual initiating the candidates into the fraternity. The banquet and for­ mal installation followed. Special guests included Gordon Swanson of the University of Min­ nesota, second vice president of Phi Delta Kappa Arthur E. Arne- son, assistant superintendent of schools in Salt Lake City, comp­ troller of the fraternity Dr. Don­ ald Hair of Whitworth College and Dr. Chester Frisbee of Lewis and Clark College, district direc­ tors. The installation of the campus chapter culminates 18 months of work first begun by Dr. Maurice Pettit, chairman of the education, psychology and philosophy divi­ sion, in gaining acceptance into Phi Delta Kappa.
