Dean Convinced Summer Students Have Opportunity

“It is a gratifying sight to see so many students settle down to their summer education classes,” Dr. J. W. Maucker, director of the sum-, mer sessions, observed yesterday. He made this statement in wel­coming new and old students to the Montana State University campus.

“Although administration will continue along past lines,” Dean Maucker said, “this year will be unique in its efforts to integrate the many series of educational con­ferences and special instructional features through the medium of Regional Arts roundup function.”

“We are looking forward to an extremely busy summer session with many new accomplishments in the way of better opportunities. With enrollment about as expected, in the neighborhood of a thousand students, the sessions appears to be getting off to a good start.”

The many convocations and mu­sical and art activities to take place, as well as planned outside recreation projects, offer a real opportunity for broadening the in­terests of those enrolled in this session, Dean Maucker said.

PAN-AMERICAN DANCE IN BITTERROOT ROOM

The first of a series of six classes in Latin American folk and ball­room dancing w ill start at 7:30 to­morrow night in the Bitterroot room of the Student Union.

Classes w ill be conducted by Mrs. John Lester and are open to both students and the public. Not university credit is given for attendance.

J. W. Maucker, director of summer session, is the busiest man on campus these days, be­cause he is also dean of the School of Education — a job which requires something more than 24 hours a day even when the summer session is not going.

Summer Session Gets Underway

Classwork for a thousand grad­uate and undergraduate students commenced at MSU Tuesday. Reg­istration of students was on Mon­day.

The summer term consists of two portions, with some classes cover­ing a six-week period which will end July 21, and others running for a 10-week period ending Aug. 18.

The first of a series of summer state and regional conferences will open on the campus next Monday, when the annual Parent-Teacher leadership conference, a workshop in testing and guidance and a piano teaching workshop are scheduled to begin. The P-TA conference wil be a two-day session, and the test­ing and guidance wbrkshop will run Monday through Friday. The piano teaching workshop will con­tinue through July 28.

Emilio Osta

NO ENROLLMENT FIGURESEnrollment f i g u r e s f o r

summer quarter will not be released until Saturday, Reg­istrar Leo Smith said yester­day. However, the total was previously estimated to be well over 1,000.

If that figure is correct, this will be the fifth successive summer session which has topped the thousand mark in enrollment. The highest sum­mer quarter attendance was 1,343 in 1948.

velt school principal, Missoula; William King, high school super­visor of the state department of public instruction; Kenneth Lucht, Columbia university, New York City; and Bodley Vacura, safety director of the Montana State Highway Patrol, w ill also be pro­fessors in the business education field.

Rescoe from MichiganA Stan Rescoe of Central

Michigan college w ill offer two courses for teacher librarians this summer and Dr. Charles E. Howell, Northern Illinois State Teacher’s college, who has been a visiting faculty member for many summer sessions, w ill teach special courses

(please see page four)

Pianist Osta Returns for Concert

Emilio Osta, world renowned concert pianist and authority on Latin-American music, appeared last night in a public concert at the Student Union.

His program began at 8:30 p.m. and opened with Mozart and Cho­pin numbers and featured all Spanish and Latin-American com­positions after the intermission.

Mr. Osta was remembered by many of the Garden City for his program last year during his first visit to Missoula, when he and his sister, Teresita, interpreter of Spanish and Latin - American dances, were presented on the uni­versity summer session recital and concert series.

Mr. Osta arrived in Missoula early Monday morning by plane from Mexico City to join the uni­versity’s summer music school faculty. He w ill teach piano dur­ing his summer stay in Missoula, and will appear in another recital later this summer. His sister is teaching this summer at the Uni­versity of Iowa.

Since February, Mr. Osta has been away from the United States on a concert tour of Cuba and the Central American republics.

He has been presented in con­certs around the world on every continent, and he and his sister, bom of Castillian parents in Cali­fornia, have spent years in the Latin-American countries gather­ing the music and dances of the Americas.

Mr. Osta won scholarships with Josef Lhevinne and Leopold Go- dowsky and has studied with other famous musicians and teachers.

Boots and Books . . .Spurgeon once said, “A lie travels around

the world while Truth is putting on her boots.”

Montana State University—in fact, the whole of Montana-r-has too long been recog­nized as a lie. A nationally known magazine termed this lie as, “the cultural air pocket of the Rockies.”

Now a group of hard working persons have banded together under the capable leadership of Joseph Kinsey Howard to make known the truth that instead of being a “cultural air- pocket,” MSU and Montana form a “cultural center.”

The group calls itself the Regional Arts roundup. Anyone is invited to attend. All are welcome to further develop themselves and Montana in the finer things in life.

Furthering the fine arts in the Treasure State is not an overnight proposition. Indeed, truth of this fact will have to spend many years putting on her boots to be allowed in the blue-book company of her many haughty neighbors. .

Many of Montana’s outside critics scorn us from their ivory towers. But looking to the past, Charlie Russell is but a single example, and likewise looking to the contempory world, A. B. Guthrie certainly has more than proved himself the country over.

Maybe Montana’s cultural flow has long remained at an ebb, but many nationally recognized native sons have shown that cul­ture is as much a part of Morftana as its ro­mantic and epic past.

Because Montana is so rich in breath-taking lore, so broad and majestic in potential canvas grandeur, and so restful and conducive in fine concert, it seems a shame she has not pro­duced more in fine arts. Maybe she should be condemed for this. But her people have long worked hard to till the soil, cut the forests, and dig the mines. Ivory tower time is some­thing possibly too modem for her to fully appreciate.

The Regional Arts roundup is not to be

confused with an ivory tower, but is a group of hardworking persons determined to use God-given body and minds for fostering natural abilities and wants of self-improve­ment.

If the Montana cultural flow is at an ebb the roundup should meet with tremendous success for, indeed, culture is wholly potential with but the single direction of up to go.

We sincerely wish them those tremendous successes. Further, we healtily encourage all to attend their many inspiring meetings in their unique program. Your attendance will help stimulate the increased community par­ticipation that is so badly needed.

With you and this program that offers con­ferences in the fine arts and crafts, music, creative writing, drama, pageantry, and the dance, Truth will find a much speedier job in putting on her justly proud boots.

Thots While ShavingMissoula, Montana, the home of Montana

State University at the hub of five great val­leys and the junction of two majestic rivers, where modern culture meets rugged wilder­ness between Yellowstone and Glacier Na­tional parks bids all summer session students and faculty welcome.

Should any of you have a few spare mo­ments, it is requested that you sign up for Lawn Mowing abc, with lab. Lord knows, the campus could certainly stand a trimming. The course is unlimited in time and scope but, alas, allows no credit to anyone.

Anyway, we won’t have to suffer the mor­on’s grading system. Ye gods, it would take a genius to flunk out of school with the recently rejected grading system.

Thank goodness for small favors.

summer session, has asked tha t all persons interested in playing soft- ball m eet w ith him Monday after­noon a t 4 o’clock in the Eloise Knowles room in the Student Union or contact him a t his office in the Union a t other times.

Songs, Poems Feature Choral Classes

Nineteenth and tw entieth cen­tury works is the feature ' of the

i summer session choral classes, Norman R. Gulbrandsen, assistant professor of music, said. Credit for the course is to be arranged and students are invited to enroll as listeners.

The first presentation of the choral group is to be “Brahm’s Requiem” and the “Choral Rhap­sody.” A W alt W hitman poem will also be presented under, the direc­tion of George McKay, composition head a t the University of Wash­ington.

A perform ance in concert is planned la te r in the quarter.

The choral group meets in Main hall auditorium on Tuesday a t 11 and Thursday evening a t 7.

Mr. Gulbrandsen urged every­one, w hether they can sing or not, to attend the choral group sessions. He also stated th a t towns­people are joining the group.

Nursery School Opens on U Campus

Miss Helen Gleason, home eco­nomics departm ent chairman, an­nounced Tuesday th a t the nursery school on campus and the play school a t the Veteran’s Commun­ity center w ill both be open for six weeks this summer.

The nursery school, which can care for 30 children, is open from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. every day except Saturday and Sunday. Anyone m ay bring children to the nursery school, w hile the play school is lim ited to veterans’ children.

The play school has facilities for only 15 children. The younger ones are taken in the morning, and the older children in the afternoon.

The child development class as­sists K ay W alterskirchen in the nursery and hot lunches are served a t noon. These lunches a re planned in accordance w ith the best nutri­tional authorities and provide 50 per cent of the child’s daily food intake.

M.A. Candidates Must File Now

MSU Enters Skyline Eight“The happiest development in the university’s athletic sit­

uation in many years,” was Pres. James A. McCain’s state­ment concerning MSU’s entrance into the Mountain States Athletic conference last Saturday.

The University, often called the- orphan of the Pacific Coast conference, will have a full program of competition in the Mountain States loop.

Also admitted was the Univer­sity of New Mexico, which has been a member of the Border con­ference. The Mountain States league, known as the Skyline Six, will now have the unofficial title of Skyline Eight.

Competition AssuredPresident McCain declared that

Montana’s acceptance assures the Grizzlies of “competition in all sports, both major and minor, with

• such outstanding institutions as the University of Utah, Utah State col­lege, Brigham Young university, Colorado A&M, the University of Wyoming, Denver university, and the University of New Mexico.”

Four AdvantagesDr. McCain pointed out that

the new conference will:1. Give the Grizzlies conference[

competition in all major and minor sports, as opposed to the one-sport competition allowed Montana as a member of the Pacific Coast con­ference.

2. Guarantee a full schedule of conference games at home. (During the last several years, only Idaho and Washington State college of the Pacific Coast conference have been willing to sign home-and-1 home coritracts with the Grizzlies.)

3. Give the Grizzlies competition with institutions of comparable size and relieve the threat of over­emphasis inherent in efforts to compete against the very large Pa­cific Coast schools.

4. Solidify relationships with schools of the Rocky Mountain re­gion, an area of which Montana is geographically a part.

“Montana State University is proud to be associated in an ath­letic conference with the fine schools of the Rocky Mountain re­gion,” Dr. McCain said. “Competi­tion with them will not be new to the Grizzlies, for of recent years we have had many of their fine teams on our football, basketball, and tennis schedules. Our new con­ference affiliation, however, will broaden relationships a l r e a d y established and create many new ones.

“The six-game, round-robin football schedule planned for the conference,” he said, “will not in­terfere in any way with the heal­thy rivalry in other sports between the State College Bobcats and our own Grizzlies.”

Provides Full SchedulesThe Mountain States Athletic

conference will provide Montana teams full schedules in the four niaj or-sports of football, basketball, track, and baseball, as well as such

minor sports as tennis, swimming, boxing and wrestling, golf and gymnastics;

Montana State University ath­letic officials have been hoping for a long time that a reorganiza­tion of the Mountain States confer­ence would make a berth for the Grizzlies, and the conference ac­tion came as no surprise. While no representative from Montana is at­tending the conference meeting, negotiations for Montana’s mem­bership have been going on for more than two months.

Shortly after the action of the

conference became known, Presi­dent McCain announced that Dr. Gordon B. Castle, senior academic dean, and George “Jiggs” Dahl- berg, Grizzly basketball coach, would leave Missoula for Spokane tomorrow in order to catch a plane for Salt Lake early Sunday. The two men will represent Montana State University at the remainder of the conference session.

Meanwhile, Dr. J. E. “Burly” Miller, Montana’s faculty repre­sentative to the Pacific Coast con­ference, Clyde “Cac” Hubbard, di­rector of athletics, and Ted Ship- key, Grizzly football coach, are at­tending the spring meeting of the Pacific Coast conference in Van­couver, B. C. Dr. Miller has in his possession a letter of resignation from the Coast conference which was presented when it became known that Montana had entered the Mountain States conference.

Montana Culture Gets Shot In Arm at Writers’ Meet

Four members of the staff of the 1950 Montana writers’ conference at Montana State University have been on the faculty of the Bread- loaf writers* conference in Ver­mont, oldest and best known in the country, Joseph Kinsey How­ard, director of the Montana ses­sion, said.

The writers’ conference on the campus, which is part of the new Rocky Mountain Regional Arts roundup, w ill be July 27 through Aug. 8. It is co-sponsored by the Montana Institute of the Arts.

Writers’ Breadloaf Helen Everitt, A. B. Guthrie Jr.,

Edith R. Merrielees, and Mr. How­ard all have been on the Bread- loaf staff, the director said. Mrs. Everitt is New York editor for Houghton Mifflin company, book publishers, and is director of the publishing procedures course at Radcliffe college, the only course of its kind in the country.

Guthrie, whose home is in Lex­ington, Ky., but who maintains a summer home near Choteau, won a Pulitzer prize this year for his novel, “The Way West,” and is also author of the best selling novel, j “The Big Sky.” “The Way West’ ’is. the story of the Oregon Trail and I “The Big Sky” is the story of fur trappers in the Montana territory during the 1830’s.

Miss Mirrielees Praised Miss Mirrielees, Howard said, is

one of the most highly regarded teachers of short story writing in the country and for many years was a member of the Stanford uni­versity of California faculty. She is now editor of the Pacific Spec­tator, quarterly magazine pub­

lished at Stanford, and has writter texts on the short story.

All three of the visitors w ill lec­ture on various aspects of fictior w riting and will help persons attending the university confer­ence with their individual prob­lems as writers, whether profes­sionals or novices. Mrs. Everitt alsc will discuss publishing trends. Mr Howard will advise on nonfictior writing.

Roundup Starts July 24The Regional Arts roundup,

which w ill start July 24, three days before the writers’ conference, will include a workshop in water color painting, directed by Andrew Hofmeister of Washington State college; master classes in piano, conducted bjr Beryl Bubinsteing, visiting concert artist; and a work­shop in community theater, con­ducted by Evelyn Clinton, former Montanan and now head of the theater of Wells college.

Late in the period, Aug. 4 through 6, a workshop in western and folk dancing w ill be conducted by E. S. Henderson of Spokane and his Silver Spurs troupe, which has toured widely throughout the Northwest. Montanans interested in obtaining information about the program should write the director in care of the University, Mr. How­ard said.

TENNIS PRACTICE MONDAY Varsity tennis practice w ill be­

gin Monday at 3 o’clock, Coacl Jules Karlin announced yesterday Workouts will be limited to those men who will be eligible in the spring of 1951. Captain Bob Nog- ler, Stevensville, w ill be in charge

SUMMER SESSION SUN 3 Thursday, June 15, 1950

Dr. Jesse Heads MSU Presidency Starting July 1

Dr. Richard H. Jesse, vice-presi­dent and chairman of the chemis­try department, w ill take over the job as president of Montana State University until the state educa­tion board appoints an acting presi­dent. Chancellor George H. Selke said in his release that Dr. Jesse will act in his position from July 1 until the board meets next month.

The president’s vacancy is due to the resignation of Pres. James A. McCain, who leaves to become president of Kansas State college.

In the other vacancy in the greater university system, Dr. E. A. Morgan of Northern Montana college in Havre w ill replace ousted Dr. G. H. Vande Bogart of that institution. Dr. Morgan, also, will take over July 1 until an acting president can be appointed by the education board.

Dr. Morgan is a professor of edu­cation and Gennan.

At the last meeting of the educa­tion board, it voted not to reap­point President Vande Bogart of Northern Montana college.

Kids Nursery Under Way

A nursery to take care of stu­dent’s and faculty’s toodlers was started Tuesday and w ill continue through Aug. 18 according to a notice distributed to all the uni­versity’s housing projects.- Hours for the summer session playschool will be from 9 to 12 noon, and from 1 to 3 p.m.

The school, located in the Com­munity center on South and Hilda avenues, w ill care for all children living in the housing projects be­tween the ages of two and four as well as children of veterans attending the University.

A charge of $12 a month w ill be made for each child. The in­creased tuition over last year’s $5 fee is due to the fact that the edu­cation department no longer pays the salaries of the playschool staff.

The playschool w ill be under the supervision of Mrs. George Sweeny and Mrs. Dan Poole, both resi­dents of the housing project.

BUTTE TRIP POSTPONEDDue to hazardous mine condi­

tions resulting from a recent fire, the scheduled sightseeing tour of the Leonard mine at Butte has been postponed, Cyrile Van Duser, Student Union manager, announc­ed yesterday.

The trip will be carried out at a later date, Miss Van Duser said, when it is certain that the mine is safe for visitors.

SUMMER SESSION SUN Thursday, June 15, 1950

Disputed New Grade System Goes Under in Meeting

By the vote of 62 to 46, the adoption of the proposed new grading system was postponed in­definitely at the final faculty meet-' ing of spring quarter. This action overrides the 57-to-35 vote of the May 17 meeting which approved the program. The voted-down grading system was to go into effect September, 1950.

Quoting from the motion, “that the Registrar’s office and the fac­ulty be informed that the report of the Committee on the grading system, which was adopted by the faculty at its meeting on May 17, shall be postponed indefinitely.”

The New SystemThe report of the grading sys­

tem called for a change in the grade point value of letter grades. An A would have been worth three grade points; a B, two grade points; a CP (C plus), 1.5; a C, one; a D, .5; and an F, no grade points. The new values would have ap­plied in both upper and lower academic divisions.

Requirements for graduation would have been a grade index of1.00 or better, calculated on the basis of credits earned, in the upper division as well as on the total record. Graduation with hon­ors would have required a grade index of 2.20, in the major field as well as on the total record, cal­culated on the basis of credits earned. The present requirement for graduation with honors is a2.00 over-all grade point index.

The June 2 rejection of the pro­

posed system effectively leaves the grading program in its present form. However, university offi­cials report that investigation of the grade problem will continue and that some future changes may be made.

Announcement of the grade changes, after the May 17 meeting, caused a great deal of comment among students as well as faculty members. A number of people felt that the changes would mean a lowering of academic standards and a consequent cheapening of a degree from MSU.

They pointed out that under the new system, a handicap was placed on the top students (a hike to 2.20 in the graduation with honors re­quirements with no change in the

1 grade point value of A’s and B’s) I while restrictions on students of lower academic standing were re­laxed almost to an extreme.

“Sure, we’d like to put some frills on the campus,” Swearin­gen says. “We’d like to oil the lots, but they occupy more space than all the roads on the campus. The roads need repairing now.”

Furthermore, he asks, which is more important—equipment for classrooms and labs or nice, smooth parking lots?
