President Judson W. Foust
told students graduating this
summer that their coming
degree should not be the end of
iheir education.
[ Speaking to more than 100
Seniors and faculty members at
a reception at the flagpole in
front of Warriner Hall, Dr.
Foust said:
"I suggest that this not be a
final day in your academic process,"
He said that the teacher must
keep himself up to date by
reading professional journals
and contacts with members of
the profession. And the teacher
must learn to meet the particular demands of his job.
"A teacher has a personality,"
Dr. Foust said, "and the way he
teaches is a reflection of that."

The high school teacher in the
Netherlands has as much prestige as the lawyer or the engin-
neer according to Dr. Luke N.H.
Hunt of Utrecht University.
Dr. Bunt is spending this
wee); observing the National
Science Foundation Institute for
Teachers of Secondary School
Mathematics. The institute at
Central is one of seven he is
observing this summer.
"The high school teacher in
the   Netherlands   is   held   in
very  high  regard,"  Dr.  Bunt
says, "His social position may
be compared to that of a lawyer or engineer."
But  to reach this position of
eminence,    the   high   school
teacher in the Netherlands must
complete a difficult high school
program and seven years of university work.
"What's taught in the first
two years of college in this
country is taught in the secondary schools in the Netherlands,"
Dr. Bunt says.

RKTlHE AND LIVE
Two   Cornell   University
scientists   lepori  many   persons
experience   better  health   after
retirement than while working.
A favorable attitude toward
retirement was found to be
moro important in good adjustment to retirement than such
factors as hobbies or recreation.
Expected retirement income is
important in determining the
attitude.
Adds one of the scientists:
"Too many people think retirement is one long vacation and
consequently set a pace for
themselves that is unrealisti-
cally fast."
So, take it slow.
Hi* pointed out and explained
some pertinent statistics gathered from National Education
Association and p 1 a c e m e n t
office sources.
Concerning the lower grades,
he  said   that  more elementary
teachers ate  trained  than high
school teachers but still there is
a   greater   d e in a n il   for   the
former.   Mr..   Winger   cited
instance in which a superintendent this spring offered to pay
thc same teacher S200  a  year
more  if  he  would   teach  sixth
grade   rather  than  high  school.
Mr.   Winger   accounted   for
the   greater   interest   in   high
school   teaching   by   pointing
out   that:   "Probably   college
youngsters    are    more    interested in  subject matter  than
child development." Also:
"they like  the  activities that
go on around a high school."
Placement office figures show
that the teachers who are most
in demand  are those who can
teach   English,   mathematics,
physics, or chemistry.
Men's physical education,
social studies, and biology
teachers had the most difficulty
finding jobs in high schools this
spring. Mr. Winger explained,
however, that some physical
education men have failed to
prepare themselves to teach a
basic classroom subject. Thus
their demand is limited.
The demand for special
education and vocational
teachers has continued high
because of federal and state
subsidization, said Mr. Winger. He added also that people
with library science backgrounds can virtually pick
their own jobs:.
The average CMU June graduate in teaching will receive a
salary of S4300. Only three will
receive less than S4000.
Mr. Winger also listed three
"limiting factors in the careers
of teachers." He said that teach-
anjpie
Mr
ers frequently  select  only
location   in    which   they
teach   and   consequently   must
take   only    what    that   school
system has to offer.
Others "lack enthusiasm
for the profession". These
people seem to reflect the
opinion thai leaching is below
their station in life.
The third limiting factor ii<
the "use of bad judgement" by
future teachers. A classic exam-
of this was brought out by
Winger. It seems that one
teacher in his credentials autobiography said: "While in college, I became so engrossed in
my studies that I lost track of
my wife and family."
MRS. MARGARET FOLEY attaches a graduation identification tag on the lapel of Dale Powers as Joyce Wood of Lake-
view watches. Mr. Powers enrolled at Central in the summer of
1930 and has just completed his B.S. degree on the elementary
curriculum. Mr. Powers and his wife, who is also a CMU graduate, plan to teach in Oxford this fall.

Prof. Theodore W. Cook of I
the Department of Chemistry
and Physics is one of 32 college
professors attending the eighth
annual General Motors Conference for College and University
Engineering and Science Educators at Warren this week.

Humanities and Engineering
Education."
and  give  educators firsthand
information   on   how   science
and  engineering  are  used  in
GM operations.
From Monday through  Wednesday     individual     educators
went on field assignments with
various GM central staffs, manufacturing   and   assembly   divisions, after which they attended
a general session of discussions
with GM executives.
On the afternoon of the final
M. Critchfield, of Process
Development Staff, and William
L. Mitchell of GM Styling.
The educators also will participate i n discussions with
Anthony G. Do Lorenzo, vice
president in charge of Public
Relations staff, and Louis G.
Scaton, vice president in charge
off Personnel Staff. They will
be addressed by GM President

Flags over Michigan
Four flags have flown over
Michigan: French (1634 - 1763);
English (1763 - 1796); American
(1796 - present); Spanish (1781).
In 1781 a raiding band of Spaniards captured Fort St. Joseph,
located at what is now Niles,
Michigan, and for several days
flew the flag of Spain.
CMU graduate, Hudson Keen-
an will lecture in Warriner
Auditorium as part of the travelogue series, Monday night,
July 20 at 8:00 p.m. His program
will focus upon "Michigan, the
Changing Scene".
Mr. Keenan, who majored in
geography and biology, was
graduated from Central in 1953.
A year later he received his
M.S. in Land and Water Conservation from MSU.
He spent the following two
years in Intelligence- Service
with the Army Corps of Engineers doing geology and map
work.
He has taught at Farewell,
Michigan for the past three
years and will teach biology at
Mt. Pleasant High School this
fall.
In addition to his slides on
Michigan, Mr. Keenan has photographs taken throughout the
U.S. and in 16 countries of Europe and North Africa. His personal library numbers about
four thousand slides collected
over the past ten years,
Additional self-liquidating construction in the amount
of about $2,350,000 will start at
Central Michigan University
this summer, it was announced
today by President Judson W.
Foust.
This is in addition to the
S2 million Student Center now
under construction. The Student Center is also being financed under a self-liquidating
plan.
Authorization has been
granted by the State Board of
Education and the Legislature
to proceed with the new construction under self-liquidation.
The new buildings will
include the first two women's
residence halls of a proposed
quadrangle with a food unit,
and a §100,000 Religious Activities Center Building.
New residence halls will be
located on the southern edge of
the campus along Washington
Street, and the Religious Activities Center Building will be
near the new Student Center.
Each residence hall will
accommodate about 350 persons,
and will be equipped and
designed for effective living.
Although bids have not been
let on the construction, it is
hoped that the new buildings
will be ready for occupancy by
the Fall of I960.. Also scheduled
for completion in 1960 is the
Student Center.
The present Student Union
Building, which was completed
in 1939, will be converted into a
music building. However, the
kitchens will be used for the
new building with a connecting
passage.

i Isle Royale
j Isle Royale National Park is
j noted for having one of the
} largest remaining herds of great
antlered moose. History says
j they crossed the ice from Can-
| ada in 1912 and were stranded
1 by the spring thaw.
The Bookmen of Michigan,
who will be exhibiting at Central next Wednesday and
Thursday will be available to
serve as consultants and advisors during their stay in Mt.
Pleasant.
Members will be available to
give professional talks in the
subject areas of reading, English, arithmetic, spelling, literature, science, social studies and
language arts.
Several general topics have
also been suggested for discussion by a panel of Michigan
Bookmen. These topics include:
"Suggested Criteria for the
Evaluation of Textbooks",
"What to Look for in Purchasing Trade Books'", "The Need Of
an Encyclopedia in a Classroom" or any other topic in
which persons are particularly
interested.
Representatives from approximately 70 companies will be oh
hand to set up and discuss their
displays which include books,
audio and visual aids, instructional materials and related
reading matter as well as globes
and maps, workbooks for a variety of subjects, chalks and
other teacher aids. The exhibit
will be held in the gymnasium
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Any class or organization who
would like to take advantage
of the professional services of
the Michigan Bookmen while
they are in Central Michigan
should contact Don Setterbo,
Field Services.
includes four languages, math
through analytic geometry,
physics, chemistry and biology.
In college the person preparing
to teach concentrates almost
completely on his major field
and two minor fields.
Dr. Bunt says thai prospective teachers are willing to
complete such a rigorous
course because of "the social
prestige and higher salary of
tho teacher and the fact that
children are more easy to
handle than in the United
States."
A graduate of the University
of A m s t c r d a m, Dr. Bunt
received his doctorate from the
University of Groningen. He has
taught mathematics in high
school  and  college  since   1929.
Dr. Bunt was a visiting professor of mathematics at the
University of Colorado in the
summers of 1957 and 1958 and
at Teachers College, Columbia
University, the fall semester last
year.
