New Library to Be Ready for Use in April

The face of the SCI campus has been undergoing a marked change in the past months as a number of majm construction projects continue.

Ready for occupancy this spring will be Unit I of the new libra1y. The two-st61y building with space for about 300,000 volumes and a seating capacity of 1,100 students is being erected at a total cost of $1,541,181.

Construction is now under way on an addition to Campbell Hall women's dormitory. The addition will accommodate 300 women and is scheduled for completion next year. Expanded dining facilities in Campbell Hall are now ready for use. Project budget for the structure is set at $950,000.

New bleachers seating 1,100 and a concessions building on the east side of 0. R. Latham Stadium will be completed in time for the first football game. Project budget for construction is $70,000.

Consbuction began in July on Unit I of the Regents Dormitory project housing 426 men. The project budget for the building is $1,265,000.

Fifty two-bedroom mobile housing units for married students and their families have been installed. The units have been occupied since summer with landscaping and construction of roadways and sidewalks to be comp,leted this fall. Total cost of the units was $174,950.

Bids will be taken in October for the construction of a new administration building south of 27th Street and west of the arts and industries building. Project budget for the structure is $720,000.

INDUSTRIAL ARTS AT SCI By Dr. Howard Reed, Head,

Department of Industrial Arts ( This is the second in a series of articles

on departments of instruction at the college.)

IT IS with much pleasure that the Department of Industrial Arts accepts the invitation of the Alumnus to visit ·with the many hundreds who have taken either a major or minor with us, and also to vis it with others who are interested in our program.

With the increasing complexity of our modern, industiialized society, the College industrial arts program is playing a growing role in its dedication to the purpose of helping individuals lead more intelligent and meaningful lives in a rapidly changing world.

The contribution of industdal arts to the school program is unique.' No other educa-

2

tional program provides the understanding of and appreciation for modern industi-y and its resulting social change.

It seems rather ironic, then, for us to say that we need more industrial arts sh1dents , especially when one considers that our society is ever becoming more industrialized and that college emollments are generally growing in a mushroom-like manner.

Yet, our enrollments have recently b een on the decrease, leaving many unfilled teaching positions in industi·ial arts in Iowa schools with no qualified teachers to fil l the gaps. The problem grows even more ironic in the face of industi-y' s increasing interest in our indusmal arts graduates.

The industrial arts department now offers a major in programs leading to four different degrees, and like all other departments at SCI, our major responsibility is still the preparation of teachers. A student


may earn one of two B.A. degrees, either with or without teacher certification; a Master of Arts in Education degree, and the new sixth-year program leading to the Specialist in Education degree. The department also offers work for a minor field in both undergraduate programs.

In keeping with the indush·ial development and accompanying technological advancements of the nation, we have enriched and expanded several departmental offerings. Major areas through the graduate program include:

Drafting-20 hours Elech·icity-electronios- 21 hours Metal-24 hours Power mechanics- 16 hours Professional-15 hours Wood-18 hours Graphic arts, plastics, crafts, and indus

trial arts for the elementary school.

The indush-ial arts department is now staffed by six members, plus a graduate assistant.

Willis Wagner, who has been with the department the longest, returned this month after being in educational service in Saigon, South Viet am, for the past two years. Mr. Wagner teaches wood, and industrial arts for the elementa1y school and some professional areas.

Other staff members are Dr. Raymond Matala, electricity-electronics and machine tools; Dr. Lawrence Wright, drafting, graphic arts and professional courses; Dr. Howard Reed, head of the department; James LaRue, metals, crafts, and industrial a1ts for the elementary school, and William Luck, power mechanics. Mr. Luck is beginning his second year at SCI, coming here from Oklahoma State University. Graduate assistant for the 1963 school year is Wei-tun Shih of Taiwan, China.

Department members are actively engaged in writing and advanced study. Mr. Luck and Mr. LaRue both are writing their doctoral dissertations; Dr. Wright is

preparing the manuscript for a high school drafting text; Mr. Wagner is author of a junior high school wood text; and a recently revised junior and senior high school metal text by Dr. Reed is slated for publication this fall.

The department is housed in the arts and industrial building, where it was relocated in 1949. An addition completed in 1961 provides additional space for art, industrial arts and for safety education. Our areas are adequately housed, with the exception of power mechanics, which is in need of more floor space. The removal of a wall from the old graphic arts room

scheduled this year will . aid greatly, but quarters will still be cramped.

The department works hand-in-hand with industry and public schools locally as well as throughout Iowa. The many industrial and commercial firms in our local area provide wonderful resources for our work, and we greatly appreciate the cooperation of firm personnel.

Serving through · the Extension Service, the department seeks to imp;ove the public school industrial arts programs i.n Iowa. This is implemented by frequent consultations with local schools about their problems.

Campus conferences have featured such national leaders as Dr. H. H. London, chairman of the industrial education department, University of Missouri; Dr. W. J. Micheels, president, Stout !3tate College, Menomonie, Wis.; Dr. G. Harold Silvius, chairman, department of industrial education, Wayne State University, Detroit, and Dr. Dewey Barich, president, Detroit Institute of Technology. These national leaders met with both students and teachers during the cpnferences.

In addition, student work is exhibited and evaluated, and new processes, materials or tools demonstrated throughout the school year.

Another new and growing service offered by the department through the Extension Service is under the direction of Dr. Wright. Three Iowa communities were hosts in 1962-63 to invitational conferences designed to imptove drafting programs. Several industrial leaders acted as resource persons during the discussions attended by 30 to 40 drafting teachers at special invitation. The next such conference is planned for Oct. 28, 1963, in Des Moines.

Gov. Harold Hughes will be guest speaker at the third statewide Industrial Arts Fair, April 25, 1964. These fairs provide an opportunity for students from public and parochial junior and senior high schools of Iowa to enter industrial arts

4

projects in competition. Two four-year scholarships for study at SCI are awarded for winners in this competition. Interest in the fair has been developing rapidly amo,g school people.

• The Industrial Arts Club, an active student organization, cooperates with the staff to offer the Industrial Arts Fair, conferences, and other joint activities throughout the year. A two-day field trip to an industrial center-such as Minneapolis or the Quad-Cities-is a feature of the club's activity each year. An auxiliary group, the Indush·ial Arts Wives Club, 'has been quite active throughout the years and very helpful in aiding our students to become better acquainted with each other and with campus customs.

In short, it is becoming increasingly obvious that the industrial arts philosophy is permeating every phase of life in a modern, complex society. By way of explanation, Dr. H. H. London, one of our guest speakers at an industrial arts conference last year, headed a three-man team in 1951 which studied Russian practical arts and vocational education. He reported that prior to entrance to the classical university or the "technicum" ( professional school ) eveiy applicant must have a minimum of two years' work experience on a state farm, a collective farm, in an office, business or factory.

The Soviet concern about an increased understanding of indush·y should stimulate our own, of course, and that of all countries where the development and progress of industry is keyed to the nations' ability to compete in the world-wide market and to provide a better life for its citizens.

With our continuing goal far from being achieved, and with the enlargement of our course offerings and staff, we should like to take this opportunity to urge all alumni to encourage young men with college potential and an interest in the industrial arts field to consider our fine program at the State College.


SCI Operating Budget Set at $5,675,000

President Maucker

As the ALUMNUS went to press, fall registration indicated that enrollment would exceed the figure predicted below.

Appropriations from the 60th Iowa General Assembly will make it possible for nearly 400 more students to attend the State College this year than were registered last fall. The budget is based upon a predicted 4,950 fall emollment.

The $5,675,000 operating budget will provide for higher staH salaries, and an increase in the size of the academic staff approximately prop01tional to the student enrollment increase for the first time in six years.

The State College share of appropriations for capital improvements at Board of Regents institutions will make possible a series of building projects including the first unit of a new science building, remodeling of the old library for use as classrooms, and partial construction of a physical plant shops building.

The capital improvements appropriation for SCI was $2,016,000, about $767,000 less than requested by the Regents.

In announcing the budget, President J. W. Maucker praised the State Board of Regents and the 60th General Assembly for their support and understanding, and said "The budget marks a 16.5 per cent increase ove1· last year's and accomplishes a substantial portion of what we aimed at for 1963-64.

"The legislative action did not however provide for the development of ~ four-yea;.


honors program, authorization for faculty sabbatical leaves, or the expansion of the summer program.

"We must recognize," the president continued, "that we face a much more difficult situation in the second year of the biennium." Dr. Maucker predicted the need for a 10 per cent increase in the 1964-65 budget which would necessitate he said a "substantial student fee increa;e," '

Total college staff ( including physical plant, clerical, administrative and faculty members) stands at 560 for the 1963 school year. The academic staff includes 349 members, as compared with 311 last year. The net increase in academic staff is equivalent to 38 positions. Some 35 vacancies are being filled because of resignations in the past year.

The largest proportion of the budget is for staff salaTies, with $4,784,200 designated for this purpose. Funds for clerical staH salaries were increased by six per cent over last year; funds for physical plant staff show an increase of four per cent; for instructional faculty, an increase of 8.9 per cent; and for administrative staff, about nine per cent.

Included in the capital improvements scheduled for this biennium are:

Unit I of a new science building for $1,311,000. The building will house the areas of biology and chemistry.

Remodeling of the old library for use by the business education department with some multi-purpose areas at a cost of $400,000.

Physical plant shops building with a project budget of $220,000.

Panther

Prospects

Good

Stan Sheriff has a reputation. for giving a frank answer to an honest ques tion. When asked about the 1963 edition of the Panther football team he said, "We'll surprise somebody this year. If some of om inexperienced players come through like they can, we'll be in the thick of the conference race again. Our biggest loss is at tackle and en.cl, aind we'll have to find some sophomores to fill in that gap.

The Panthers lost an even dozen lettermen from a team that shared the North Central Conference Championship last year. Among these losses are Dave Cox and Dan Boals, a pair of backfield performers .

Boals set new school and league records in rushing during the year and he also broke the career rushing record of former assistant coach "Bud" Bitcon.

In the line the notable losses are Pat Mitchell and Bill Schwartz, ends; Bob Stevens, Ted Minnick and Don Eichelberger, tackles; Eldon Reinhardt, guard; and Duane vVaters and Nevin Almquist, centers.

Halfbacks Larry Thompson and Bruce Montgomery lead the list of returning lettermen. Thompson was second team allconference last year as a junior. Phil Minnick, a fine defensive player, will be at fullback in place of the graduated Boals. The quarterback job will be a two-man contest between Rich Oliphant and Dick Lange, both lettermen.

Larry VanOort will hold down the center position, with returning letterman Jim Jachkson and sophomore Kent Stephenson fightin g it out for the tvvo guard positions.

The leading newcomers are Les Koch, Ted McPherson, Del Hammond and Doug Korver, all ends who will be counted on heavily.

Basketball Season Opens in November

State College of Iowa will play a 22-game basketball schedule next season.

The Panthers play four non-league games in early December, before opening North Central Conference play in North Dakota.

Iowa State has been added to the sched ule for the first time since 1948. Northern Illinois comes back on the schedule after a two-year absence. Other new opponents include Buena Vista and MacMurray.

The Tall Corn Tournament held for the past seven years is being dropped and a three-game trip to Illinois is being added the first week in January.

In all, Coach Stewart's club will play 11 home games and 11 away.

The Panthers play their opener at home against Buena Vista November 30.

New Stands, New Policy For Seating Grid Fans

Athletic Director Jim Witham has announced a new seating policy for all home football games at the College beginning this fall. All adult tickets will be sold as reserved seats with reservations now available for season tickets at a cost of eight dollars for the four home games. First call on season tickets is given to alumni and friends. Single reserved seats may also be purchased at the gate before game time.

The construction of new concrete bleachers seating 1,124 on the east side of the football field will increase the seating capacity for Panther games to about 6,100. The new stadium and the first four secticns on the north end of the old stands will be used for reserved seating. Wooden bleachers at the north and south ends of the new stadium will be held as a courtesy section for schooJ-aged youngsters on a general admission basis.

SCI students and staff members, as well as pairents of SCI students, will be seated in 12 sections of the old stadium beginning at the south goal line.

Reservations for SCI home games may be made by writing J. H. Witham, Athletic Director. Schedule for all State College games is listed on the back cover of the Altumnus.

Panthers Take Three Titles in 1963-64

Panther athletic teams won three North Central Conference championships and finished second in three others in the past se!tson.

The baseball and tennis teams won outright championships, while the football team shared its title. Basketball, track and cross-country teams all placed second in the league.

The Panthers won 61, lost 28 and tied 3 in all spmts during 1962-63 . •

Dotson received an All-American certificate from the Am.erican Wrestling Coaches Association in May. The Waterloo, Iowa, senior was unbeaten in 24 bouts last season and won titles in the NCAA College and University Division tournaments.

This was Dotson's second All-America award.

Dietl Takes Sports Information Post

Richard E. Dietl, sports editor of Fairmont, Minn. , Daily Sentinel, has been appointed information assistant in the College Relations office.

Dietl will handle sports news and assist with other

Dietl information services of the College. He re-places Georoge Wine, who resigned the position to become sports information director at Memphis State Urn versity.

A graduate of Luther College, Dietl was an English teacher in Minnesota for six years prior to his job with the Fairmont paper.

He is married and has two children.


New 11-Week Term Highlights Summer With the initiation of a new 11-weeks

summer term, the College launched its year-round operation this past summer . The new term began at the same time as the regular eight-weeks session, and was designed primmily for new freshman students . The program extended through August 28, and offered 12 semester hours of undergraduate credit primarily in general education courses.

The longer term is designed to make better use of College facilities throughout the year, although SCI President Mauckei· points out that the initial stages of such a program involve increased operating costs. Increased costs stem in part from the necessity of offe1ing a large number of classes to meet the needs of a small but diverse student body until the number of persons in the 11-weeks term increases. The budget for the 1964 summer program is expected to be increased by $120,000 over the 1963 program. Next summer's program will see

faculty salaries brought up to the level of those of the regular academic year.

The new summer term will be expanded next summer to offer courses for both freshmen and sophomores, and perhaps some upperclassmen. It is expected that the inshuctional program will be further developed in the coming years so that a full curricula will be available to students who wish to complete their undergraduate studies in three years by attending three summer sessions and three regular academic years.

8-Weeks Term for Graduate Study The regular eight-weeks term will be

continued for the benefit of teachers who wish to complete their studies during the summers. Registrar Marshall Beard says it is conceivable that this session might be exclusively a graduate program within the next ten years.

Enrollment for the 1963 summer program was over 2,800.

Nearly half of the students enrolled in the new 11-weeks su mmer term posed for a picture before beginning classes.

SCI War Years President Retires This month a long-time member of the

State College of Iowa faculty retired from

active service to the college. Just as he had

calmly resigned as president of the college

in 1950, without aplomb, he moved grace

fully into what he considers to be "a sec

ond chance . . . to find new and often

happier ways of being useful and active."

Malcolm Price, the fourth president of

the then Iowa State Teachers College, who

skillfully guided the college through ten

of its most colorful, sh·enuous, and dv

namic years , retired as professor of educa

tion at SCI on September 1. He and his

wife will reside during the summer months

at their home in Cedar Falls, and will win

ter in their "renewment" home in Port

Charlotte, Florida.

Dr. Price was appointed to the presi

dency of the college in September, 1940,

after having served as director of per

sonnel in the Deh·oit Public Schools in

Michigan for 11 yea.rs. He accepted his

post at a time when the college had recov

ered from the effects of the depression and

was in a state of growth in all areas .

"I really had what you might call a

normal college year that first year," says

Dr. Price. "That was before the war train

ing years came. Then one morning a Navy

President Pr ice (third from left) reviews the troops .

captain came to my office and told me he

was going around the counhy closing up

colleges aind conve1ting them to military

training centers. He proposed closing the

Teachers College and replacing our stu

dents with 3,500 Navy air cadets." "Fortunately," said Dr. Price, '·we did

not have to close the college. \Ve agreed to

take a sma.lle1· number of military trainees

and to continue to operate the college for

our civilian. students as well."

Hundreds of Waves marching to class was a fa miliar campus sight in 1943 .

This was the beginning of Dr. Price's task of piloting the College through the stormy war years when student enroilment and income from state sources plunged and were supplemented by some 1,500 men and women in uniform and financial aid from federal funds.

On December 15, 1942, the first "wave of Waves" began arriving on the campus as ISTC became the first "boot training school" or induction center in th~ country

for women of the Navy.

At that time, four dormitories were available for student housing: the pre]ent Baker Hall for Men was then two separ.1te halls, Seerley and Baker. The women's dormitories were the present Bartlett and Lawther Halls. Campbell and Regents residence halls were not yet built.

"The Waves (1,050 of them ) had b een 'double-decked' in true Navy fashion in the dormitory which soon bec:une known as 'The Good Ship Bartlett.' Seerley and Lawther Halls were occupied primarily by our women students, while Baker was retained for our male students."

"Then, in February of 1943, my phone rang about 2 a.m. ," says Dr. Price. "It was a general from 'Pneumonia Gulch' ( J eifferson Barracks ) wanting to know if we could take 500 Army Corpsmen who had been sent there by mistake. I told the general we'd take them if he'd give us 24 hours."

On March 1, 1943, 420 Army Aviation Cadets arrived on the campus for a five month course preparatory to intensive ground training. The men were tempo

rarily housed in the 'T' Club lounge and the men's gymnasium. Later they were billeted in Baker Hall. For the 15 months following their arrival, the sidewalks of ISTC carried the traffic of both khaki and blue-clad platoons.

In Ap1il of that year, the Wave indoctrination program was converted to a yeoman training course with instruction in such areas as shorthand, typing, naval forms and

correspondence, office procedure, physical education and current events .

Many members of the college instructional staff became teachers for the Air Corps training program with courses in mathematics, English, science and other militaiy subjects.

Dr. Price recalls with pride the "tremendous spirit and cooperation" displayed by the changing and complex population on the campus. "The faculty did a beautiful job-they got up early and taught 7 a.m. classes, and cooperated in every way they could with the military. It wasn't too uncommon for a music professor to be teaching physics to a class of bright young

cadets. "Our crew of maintenance men was un

derstaffed, and they literally worked their eyes out. Most of them had been in the first World War and their spirit was phe-

11

nomenal as they performed impossible tasks in their contribution to the war effort.

"Our food service worked under handicaps, too-even the military was rationed. This was the beginning of the 'standard menu' with which we were able to reduce the cost of meals for students."

The year 1943 marked the beginning of the now traditional "cut day" when there was no manpower to clean up the oampus for Homecoming. "The students ( most of them girls) conceived the idea of cleaning up the campus themselves," says Dr. Price. "They raked leaves and had the campus looking ship-shape by working in shifts, since we didn't have enough equipment for them to all work at once. ,ve staked a big picnic in front of the men's gymnasium for them-and they really worked for it!"

"The military commanders here were all familiar with college campuses, and they worked very well with us," Dr. Price continues. "There was no damage to our facilities, and the men and women in the military kept their dormitory rooms spotless and neat.

"It was a little bit different from the way the rooms are kept now," he recalls with a smile. "Every day a Wave Captain inspected each room, and woe be to the poor recruit if her inspecting officer found a trace of dust showing on the white glove she used to detect any trace of inefficiency!"

The former president paid tribute to his wife in "tying the entire program together. Mrs. Price entertained often in an effort to help get everyone acquainted and raise morale. We averaged about 150 people through our house each month for receptions or teas or dinners."

Mrs. Price commented, "We had a fivering circus going on here then: the Air Corps, the Waves, the college students, the townspeople, and, of course, our own family."

"The social program for the students and the military was another example of the

good feeling among the groups," says Dr. Price. "Special programs or parties or dances were attended by both the military and the civilian students-and they all had a grand time," he added.

The end of World War II was marked with a special chapel service held in the college auditorium August 14, 1945. "There are but two words which adequately express the feeling of all of us this evening," Dr. Price had said in opening the service. "Those two words are 'Thank God.' "

But the war's end meant another shift in the total operation of the campus.

New building plans were underway involving the addition of an arts and industries building and a new laboratory school to the insbuctional facilities, as well as a new unit of the women's dormitory system, the present Campbell Hall. Under Dr. Price's leadership, a selected group of faculty members had conducted a comprehensive study of the curricular revision with a planned distributioa emphasis upon general education, professional education, and education in selected areas of specialization.

The close of the war era saw student enrollment standing at 850, about 80 of whom were men. The following fall, enrollment soared upward by 41 per cent


with 1,228 students emolled, many of whom were returning veterans.

"We had to shift in a hurry," recalls Dr. Price. "We were operating under a legislative appropriation meant for 850 students. But the dormitories had to be converted and redecorated for college students, the lounges had to he completely refurnished, the food service expanded, and the staff enlarged. The only thing that saved us was the federal money made possible by the returning veterans.

"Those veterans were an unusual group of fellows. They came home from the war believing that the only way to save the world was through the education of their fellow human beings. They returned with a conviction and a set of values that made them £ne students.

Rehabilitation Programs

"The student health and food service played an important role at this time," the former president continued. "Many of our veterans had been in prison camps or had been injured. Some of them had to eat special diets £ve or six times a day. Others had to continue physical rehabilitation programs because of their injuries."

Under Dr. Price's leadership, state appropriations were secured from the 1949 legislature to help offset the loss of federal support resulting from the gradual decrease in the enrollment of veteran students and to help balance the increased costs of the college operation.

In spite of the disrupting war years and unpredictable budgets, the value of the college physical plant increased by $1,764,000 during Dr. Price's teo year office as president. Salaries for full professors were increased by about 60 per cent. The continued growth of the college reflected a dynamic and changing time under the stable and forward-looking guidance of a man who had devoted his life, 24 hours a

day, to the institution he had chosen to serve.

A lasting tribute to Dr. Price stands in the form of a building, the plans for which he initiated, with the leadership of the late Dr. Dwight Curtiss, symbolizing his devotion to and belief in the education of young people. The Malcolm Price Laboratory School, named to honor Dr. Price, provides a teaching laboratory for State College students where they may observe, teach under supervision, and use teaching theories in practical experiences with some 700 youngsters from nursery through high school ages.

Th2 hvo and one-half million dollar building was begun in 1950 r,nd completed with dedication services in March of 1959. Recognized as cne of the finest teaching laboratories in the nation, thJ school is visited each year by hundreds of eductors from all parts of the United States and many foreign countries. The Price school occupies about 35 acres in the area north and west of the main SCI campus.

A bronze plaque which hangs at the entrance of the school perhaps best exemplifies the philosophy and stature of the former State College president. The inscription reads, "One stands with humility before a child to be educated."

Resigns Presidency

The announcement of the resignation of President Price at a special faculty meeting on June 19, 1950, left the faculty stunned, according to the September 1950, issue of The Alumnus. His resignation was effective September 1, 1950. Said Dr. Price in his message: "I assure you that this is not a hasty decision . . . You who were here ( during the past ten years) know that those were busy years on the campus . . . Those ten years have demanded my full time and energy and that of Mrs. Price ... ~ify good friends have counseled me to slow down and take it easy. I know that all of you realize that this college is not


at the coasting stage ... It would not be fair to the college if I were to take the counsel of my friends and take it easy.

"The past ten years and the immediate future explain the reason for my resignation. I do not choose longer to be a college president.

"Next September, I will join the ranks of the instructional staff of the Iowa State Teachers College as a member of the department of education. This is a great college with a promising future, and I cannot think of any better college with which I would prefer to identify myself."

Enjoy Retirement

Having fulfilled numerous years as a professor of education, and having traveled extensively in Europe and on this continent, Malcolm Price, and his wife, Mary, are now finding the time to enjoy life together in a different way.

At the age of 68, Dr. Price finds he is "so busy doing nothing that every night I'm only half through." He and his wife visit with their friends, read, garden, and Dr. Price finds time for his hobby of wood working.

The Price's son, John, is a first lieutenant and chief information officer of the Tactical Air Command at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas. He graduated from the State University of Iowa in 1961.

Their daughter, Nancy Jane, is the wife of Dr. H. J. Thompson, associate professor of history in the State College department of social science. A graduate of Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, Iowa ( as were Dr. and Mrs. Price) Nancy is continuing her study toward a Master of Arts in Education degree at SCI. An accomplished writer, her poetry is published frequently. The Thompsons have three children.

Dr. and Mrs. Price reside at 1615 Olive Street in Cedar Falls during the summer months. From October through April their address is 526 N. E. Hernando Avenue, Port Charlotte, Florida.
