Class structures will be flex ible, based on the need of the student rather than the whim of the administration. Stevens believes unequal classes shouldn't be given "equal time." Therefore, important classes in a student's major may be longer than the stand ard 50 minutes. Others will be shorter. In addition, a full schedule might call for classes on Mon day, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, with a mid-week break Wednesday for individual tu toring, lecture, discussions or study hall. Team teaching will be em ployed, with both a senior and junior professor sharing the tasks. Due to the unique class scheduling, departments will be kept closely informed of each other's activities unlike many universities in which each department acts indepen dently. The college plant itself is a $1 million complex located on a 300-acre campus. Additional construction is planned. Finding the right students to form the charter class of the college was not left to chance. The most walked about slacks on Campus are HUBBARD with "DACRON" he action is fashioned by Hubbard ...

T.M Stevens met with many pros pective students and their par ents during a series of meet ings held throughout the coun try. Although the basic entrance requirement was a C average, even this wasn't strictly ad hered to. What Stevens was really seeking was students with motivation a voracious appetite for learning. In the final analysis, the students will prove whether the concept of the college is a success or failure. Stevens gave up a job as dean of Culver Stockton Col lege at Compton, Mo,, to head the new school. He is betting it will be a success. LIGHTER WATER COOSA PINES, Ala. (UPI) Water used in papermaking here loses weight up to 60 tons a day before it is returned to the nearby Coosa River. That's the amount of solid materials removed by a new $2.5-million pollution control system at Kimberly - Clark's newsprint mill. The system, which can treat up to 50 mil lion gallons of water daily. removes enough sludge in that time to fill 20 dump rucks. Cow Jumped Over Moon In Northern 6Cow: Colleges' BOSTON (UPI) If New England's state universities once were cow colleges the cow has jumped oyer the moon. "The most under-rated uni versities in the nation" is the way H. Austin Peck, Maine's Amherst, Mass., Kingston, R. Durham, N.H. and Burlington, Vt. Why does an area that boasts such private institutions as Harvard and Yale need ex panded public education? "The aoors ot tne great mia- western public schools are clos ing to out-of-staters and the cost of private education is be coming astronomical," is one answer from President John McConnell of the University of New Hampshire. "The nation's population is growing and the public's desire for college education is grow ing even faster." Furthermore, he said, in New England the private schools such as Dartmouth do not in tend to expand to meet the need. "So the public universi ties are steppmg forward to provide the education." NET GAINS The result: 50.000 New Eng land public university students. The outlook: perhaps 100,000 state university students in the six-state region in the next 20 years.

One advantage to the students who stay close to home is they can live at home and ease the strain on the family pocket book.

For instance state uni versity students in New Eng ;land still pay as much as $400 , higher in fees than midwestern or western students at public institutions.

There's not much of the ,"cow" left in New England's state universities although they may have started that way. The "cow college" term goes back to the Morrill Land Grant Act of the 1860's which was basically designed to improve agriculture through education. Its sponsors might be surprised by much that has happened since as, for example, the state of New Hampshire spending 42.5 million for a center teach ing music, art and drama.

Recent Invention Means Electric Cars May Return DETROIT (UPI) Revela tion by Ford Motor Company of details of its new battery power source raises the possi bility of a comeback for the electric automobile. But for the foreseeable fu ture, at least, it won't take the place of the convenUonal fam ily car in this country. It could in Europe and other parts of the world, however, and that's the reason European carmakers have been so inter ested in finding out what Ford has got. The new battery source of electric power is aimed pri marily at the small car with limited range and speeds at or below 60 miles an hour. It's not sufficient to move- a two ton vehicle on cross-country trips over superhighways at superhighway speeds, electric power is aimed prima ily at the small car with limi range and speeds at or below 60 miles an hour. It' not suf ficient to move a two-ton vehi cle on cross-country trips over superhighways at superhigh way speeds. Europe specializes in small cars. So does Japan. And it's these types of cars that the Ford battery could compete with. Briefly, the battery consists of three things. Sodium, sul phur, and a solid electrolyte of ceramic, made primarily of a- 2e fee! M mySlh Like the one about business. Especially big business. That it is beyond the rugged individualist's wildest daydream to enter this holy of holies because he'll lose some thing, that's very sacred like his inde pendence. Sure, it can happen. If a guy or gal wants to hide, or just get by, or not accept responsibility, or challenges. We're not omniscient enough or stupid enough to speak for all business, but at a company like Western Electric, bright ideas are not only welcome, they are en couraged. And no door is shut. Create a little stir, go ahead, upset an old apple cart (we replace shibboleths at a terrific pace we have to as manufacturing and supply unit of the Bell System in order to provide your Bell telephone company with equipment it needs to serve you.) There's an excitement in business. True, we're in it to make a profit, but working to minum oxide. It's this ceramic that's the key to the whole op eration. Sodram and sulphur are well known, common materials but. nobody ever knew how to use them together to get a flow ot electrical energy from their in teraction. This is what the cer amic does. It provides a bar rier between the sodium and sulphur, but allows sodium ions to filter through, reach the sulphur and combine to make a sulphide. In combin ing, it generates an electric charge which can be tapped to provide useful energy. ANOTHER SECRET Another secret, however, is that the battery must be hot . . . very hot. Both the sodium and the sulphur have to be in a liquid state. That means they have to be maintained at a high enough temperature to melt, and it means operating the battery at roughly between 500 and 600 degrees fahrenheit. Ford of ficials consider that no prob lem. First, when the battery is discharging while being used, or while it is being recharged from an outside electrical source, h e a t is generated which keeps the battery at its proper temperature. Suppose you leave your car idle with the battery not in use. Ford scientists say the battery can be insulated so efficiently it could stand idle for up to 14 days at a time and still be at the required temperature to operate. Will it be used in conven tional type automobiles, mere being substituted for the con ventional internal combustion engine? Ford now is designing and building a new car in England expressly for battery driving. It has also developed a new lightweight powerful electric motor to be used with it. And it is building more effi cient controls. Several cars will be built, some tested in London and at least one will be tested in traffic patterns in the Detroit area. When the battery is built, it will weigh about 500 or so pounds, which isn't much dif ferent than present-day gas engines in cars. Right now, all Ford has are tiny batteries, about the size of a test tube. But they're already planning to build a 22-pound battery which will have an output of about 2 kilowatt hours. a F 1 ttttka - tlss 1 So find new and better ways to make things that help people communicate is very re warding and satisfying. Did you ever hear these wry words of Oliver Wendell Holmes? "Never trust a generality not even this one." That's how we feel about the generality that claims youll just become a little cog in a company like Western Electric. You might, of course, but if you consider your self an individual now, odds are 10 to 1 that youll keep your individuality. And cherish it. And watch it grow. Even at big, big Western Electric. You know, that's the only way we'd want you to feel. If you feel like coming in with us. Western Electric MANUFACTURING & SUPPLY UNIT OF THE BELL SYSTEM
