Swingout Speech
Gains More Fame
For the third year Dr. C. L.
Anspach, President of Central
Michigan College, has had a request to have extracts of his annual swingout speech published.
The laiesi request was from
the Weimore Declamation Bureau of Sioux City, Iowa. Their
Extraction department has
made ihe request so ihai ihey
may use ii in material ihey
publish for Colleges, Universities and schools throughout ihe
United States for use in courses
in written and oral expression.
The speech, "To The Future"
was also published in the July
issue of Vital Speeches, as have
those of the past. The Lansing
State Journal reprinted the
Speech as a guest editorial.
The final performance of "The Admirable Crichton", three-
act comedy of fantasy and English life will be presented at 8 p.m.
tonight. Pictured above is a scene from one of the acts.
Teacher Placement Trends
Revealed by Bureau Report
The Placement Office announces that the placement of teachers
prepared at Central Michigan College of Education has changed
considerably during the past few years, as no doubt has been the
case in other colleges.
In comparing data presented on June 30, 1947 with that presented June 30, 1950 we find the following comparison: Total number of calls in 1947 was 2,354 compared with 1,767 in 1950. Total
number of graduates enrolled for placement in 1947 was 149, in 1950
it was 437. In 1947 there were 196 secondary and 82 elementary
candidates compared with 315 secondary and 85 elmentary candidates in 1950.	
Salary range for elementary
and secondary with provisional
certificates was from $1900 io
$3500 in 1947 and is now $2200
to $4175. Salary range for limited certificates in 1947 was
$1600 to $2100 and in 1950 is
$1900 io $2800.
In general the trend has been
toward fewer alumni seeking
promotions, and great increases
in the number of secondary and
two-year limited certificate candidates available for placement.
There has been no significant increase in the number of candidates with elementary provisional
certificates. However, it is expected that the picture will
change within the next year.
The placement office receives
calls and arranges interviews
for students seeking non-teaching positions. Calls have been
received from organizations
such as ihe Burroughs Company, Holland Furnace Company, Gulf Refining Company,
Standard Oil Company, Gibson
Refrigerator Company, American   Red   Cross,   International
Harvester Sales Company, National Gypsum Company, etc.
These calls have been for salesmen, chemists, accountants and
stenographic workers, also social service case workers.
A file on occupational information is kept up to date, and is accessible to all students. As many
of the students are planning to
continue  their  preparation in
other   colleges,   information
regarding   scholarships  is   also
made available. The demand for
service in this area has not been
great.
Students use the placement office for aid in securing summer
positions. For those interested in
camping, information regarding
private and public camps is provided.
This year 17 graduates have
been placed with salaries ranging from $2200 io $2400, 33 ai
$2500, 50 from $2525 io $2600,
38 from $2650 io $2700, 43 from
$2750 io $2800, 21 from $2820 io
$2900, 27 from $2925 to $3000,
10 from $3020 to $3200, and 13
above $3200.

Artist Course Group
Dance Knowledge
by Frank Amond
Through an enjoyable performance, Katherine Flowers Company did much to contribute to
the appreciation of the Negroes'
contribution to the evolution of
American dancing.
Not many Americans know or
understand the contribution of
the Negro to all phases of American culture.
One of the things that added to
the enjoyment of the performance was the opportunity to learn
more about the background of
the dance.
The dances were well executed. The ballet number however seemed io be ihe hit with
the audience. It was gracefully
performed, and Carmen Bledsoe received a well deserved
curtain call.
Interestingly enough, the program showed not only characteristics of modern dance, but also
those found in today's social
dancing. The social dance has
been greatly influenced by the
fundamentals found in the Negro
art.
Thanks, Jack!

Korean articles
written by John
Lee, special student, have been

received one of the four Chippewa Awards, given annually to
the four outstanding seniors. He

Meet Mr. Summer School himselfg Dr. J. W. Foust
by Florence N. Smith
One of the busiest persons on
Central's campus this summer is
Dr. Judson W. Foust, assistant to
the president and Director of
summer school.
Although  his  desk  seems
filled with papers and reports.
Dr. Foust has iime io hold an
audience  with a student  and
give a satisfactory answer.
Dr. Foust came to Central in
1929 as an instructor in the mathematics department and is now
professor   of   mathematics.   He
states that the student body has
approximately  tripled  in  that
time.
* * *
HIS DUTIES are many and
varied. He has directed the summer sessions since 1941, being ap-.
pointed assistant to the President
in 1946. He is chairman of the
Artist Series, and a member of
the   Public   Relations,   Athletic,
Publications, and Curriculum committees. Dr. Foust is editor of the Problem Corner of the
National Mathematics Magazine,
"Pentagon".
Dr. Foust has had experience
in the business world, having
worked summers during his early
teaching career at Haynes Wheel
Plant, the Jarvis Engine Works,
and the Oldsmobile Plant and
Machine Shop.
With Dr. Cleon Richtmeyer,
he   published   two   books   of
mathematics. "Business Mathematics" is in ihe third revision.
Dr. Foust has had experience
in ihe public school field having   taught   at   Central   High
School in Lansing and Lansing
Eastern High School.
Administration   i s   interesting
because of the many and varied
problems, he states. His like for
people is the one big reason he is
in this type of work.
Teacher Certification
Strengthens Profession
The following changes to be established in the teaching profession tend to strengthen the profession. Effective, September 1,
1950, the Special 50-hour State
limited Certificate will no longer
be issued, until then the prospective candidate who seeks this
form of certification must have a
recommendation from Dr. David
Trout, dean of students.
Special Secondary Provisional Certificates are not likely
io be issued ihis year, except
under  very  unusual circumstances.
During the past year there has
been much discussion and apprehension concerning new certification for the Provisional Teaching
Certificate, but to calm fears, Dr.
Trout says that there is no new
motion prevailing which will alter present certification standards
of the Provisional Teaching Certificate in 1950 and 1951.

'History Study Tour
Success'- Maybee
The Travel Study Tour under
the supervision of Dr. R. Maybee,
head of the Social Sciences Department, returned to Mt. Pleasant Friday, July 21.
According io Dr. Maybee, ihe
tour was a complete success,
with its value exceeding all
expectations. Use was made of
a number of local resource
persons ai Detroit, Ann Arbor,
Kalamazoo, Holland, Petoskey,
and Houghton. Dr. Maybee is
convinced ihai ihe students
learned much by being on ihe
spot where many historical
events took place and thai ihey
were better able to tie together
ihe history and geography of
the area.
Dr. Maybee was pleased with
the general results of the examination which was held at the
Crystal Falls High School. It
showed that the students had
taken things seriously and that
they had done good work.
Because of the good results and
enthusiastic response of the students, another trip is being
planned for next year. Details
have not yet been announced.
Anspach Accepts
Committee Chair
President Anspach has accepted
chairmanship of the State Citizen's Committee of the Michigan
Society of Mental Hygiene. The
function of this committee is to
carry on an educational campaign for the purpose of explaining to' citizens of the state why it
is important that the bond issue
for mental hospitals should be
passed by the voters November
11.
The State of Michigan needs
approximately 80 million dollars
to eliminate fire hazards in these
mental hospitals, and for use in
modernizing and adding necessary new additions to them. This
is necessary in order that the
long waiting list, running into
thousands of patients needing admittance, can be cared for and
accomodated.
Literature Tour
So many people have requested another travel
study tour in American Literature, thai we are now
announcing ihai a third iour
will be run beginning August 21 to September 1, provided 35 students register
for the class by August 7.
This course is a 2,500 mile
study tour in American Literature through eight New
England Stales and one province of Canada. The course
gives 2 semester hours of
credit in English 430.
Reservations will be accepted for 35 people in the
order in which they are received ai ihe office of ihe
Division of Field Services.
The cost for tuition, room
and transportation, is 75
dollars. Each student will
purchase his own meals individually.
Art Display
An example of the creative
ability found in Mr. Victor Croft-
chik's 101 Art Class is evidenced
by a small marionette theater and
troupe of puppets now on display
in the Arts and Crafts Building,
