.New College Breaks Rules,
Expects To Break Records
; V ARTESIA, N. M., (UPI)
JAnv experiment in education
,r4; began early this month in
; New Mexico.
Nearly 350 carefully se
lected freshme nregistered for
(;the College of Artesia, a new
.four-year liberal arts school
that believes rules are made
"to be broken if a better
way can be found.
c The basic philosophy, as ex
plained by Thomas Stevens,
president, is simply that re
s suits are more important than
0 following time - honored, but
often hide-bound rules.
r5 Instead of the standard se
mester plan, the school will
Jhave trimesters starting in
? 'October, February and June,
'making it possible for a stu
dent to graduate in two years
'and two trimesters. Other
schools have found this sys
tem workable.

graded along standard lines of
A, B, C, D, and F. Instead,
they will be divided three
ways honors, passing, and
failing.
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.

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.

which can treat up to 50 mil

removes enough sludge in

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."

The result: 50.000 New Eng

The outlook: perhaps 100,000

years.

There's not much of the

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

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-

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.

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.
