The demand for experienced planners far exceeds the supply. ' C2iSL- (Author of Bar foot Boy With Chttk.m tc.) ' '1 : ' THE THUNDERING IMARCH fe, OF PROGRESS r. Today, as everj-one knows, is the forty-sixth anni versary of the founding of Gransmire College for Women which, as everyone knows, was the first Progressive . Education college in the United States. Well do I recollect the tizzy in the academic world when Gransmire first opened its portals! What a buzz there was, what a brouhaha in faculty common rooms, what a rattling of teacups, when Dr. Agnes Thudd Siga f cos, first president of Gransmire, lifted her shaggy head and announced defiantly, "This here is no stuffy, old fashioned college. This here, by gum, is Progressive Education. We will teach the student, not the course. There will be no marks, no exams, no requirements. We will break the iron mold of orthodoxy, hey." Well sir, forward-looking maidens all over the country cast off their fetters and came rushing to New Hampshire to enroll at Gransmire. .Here they found freedom. They broadened their vistas. They lengthened their horizons. ' They unstopped their bottled personalities. They roamed the campus in togas, leading ocelots on leashes. . ' And, of course, they smoked Philip Morris. (I say "of course." Why do I say "of course"? I say "of course" because it is a matter of course that anyone in search of freedom should naturally turn to Philip Morris, for Philip Morris is a natural smoke, with no filter to get in the way of its true tobacco taste.) ''' ' But all was not Philip Morris and ocelots. There was work and study too not in the ordinary sense, for there .were no formal classes. Instead there was a broad approach to enlarging each girl's potentials. ' il"' nwiWlWIa irti iTpii Ifi '" n il j il : -tiKetlie course calte'J 3a$ic ffiotorQiUZ Take, for example, the course called B.M.S. (Easic ' Motor Skills). B.M.S. was divided into L.D. (Lying Down), S.U. (Standing Up) and W. (Walking). Once the student had mastered L.D. and S.U., she was taught to W. but not just to W. any old way! No, sir! She was taught to W. with poise, dignity, bearing ! To incul cate a sense of balance in the girl, she began her exercises , by walking with a suitcase in each hand. (One girl, Mary , Ellen Dorgenicht, got so good at it that today she is bell captain at the Dinkler-Plaza Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia.) When the girls had walking under their belts, they were allowed to dance. Again no formality was imposed. ' They were simply told to fling themselves about in any I' way their impulses dictated, and believe you me, it was quite ah impressive sight to see them go bounding into the woods with their togas flying. (Several later joined the U. S. Forestry Service.) There was also a lot of finger painting and gourd i. rattling and sculpture with coat hangers and all like that, and soon the fresh wind of Progressivism came whistling out of Gransmire to blow the ancient dust of pedantry off curricula everywhere, and today, thanks to the pio ' neers at Gransmire, we are all free, every man-jack of us. If 'you -are ever in New Hampshire, be sure to visit '"the Gransmire campus. It is now a tannery. O Max Shulman, 1957 find he sure to light a Philip Morria when you vteit Granmire, or anyuhere elee for that matter, because Philip Morris is " aluare a naturally perfect companion and brings you this votumn eaih week and is ignilahle at either end.

By 1975 this number is expected to increase by about one-third, or over another 30 million people. CONTINUOUS CITY? Sixty years ago, Sir Patrick Geddes, British .ciologist and bi ologist, predicted the entire East ern seaboard of the United States would some day be one continuous city. Current figures back up his prophecy. An estimated 32 million people live in a continuous urban area reaching from Boston, Mass., to the southern tip of Fairfax County Va. This urbanizing trend is by no meanj limited to the Eat, but is taking place in all sections of the country. Villages, town, cities, as well as the greater metropolitan areas, are gaining population at the expense of the rural areas. This rapid and haphazard growth of cities has brought in its wake a multitude of new and com plex problems involving slums, traffic congestion, a need for schools and recreational facilities, to name only a few. CITY PLANNING City planning has become recog nized in recent years as the chief means of solving these bewilder ing problems.' The National -Housing Act of 1954 served as an added impetus to the demand for. trained plan ning personnel with its urban re newal program. To qualify for fed eral aid to improve its living en vironment, a city must have "a comprehensive community plan." Such overall planning must en compass housing, industry, street systems, commerce, zoning, build ing codes, etc. Few city govern ments have personnel qualified to relate and coordinate these compo nent elements of a city into an acceptable program. So . . . once again the cry is raised for the services of the professional plan ner. The UNC department " of plan ning, headed by Professor John A. Parker and now completing its 11th year, "places special empha sis upon encouraging its graduate students to undertake projects in 'live' situations." - , Over 43 North Carolina commu nities have served as subjects of for trained planners far outstrips the supply. Congress is currently consider ing a bill to provide fellowships for graduate training in urban planning. Introduced by Senator John Sparkman (D-Ala.), it points out the urgent need to alleviate the acute shortage of personnel in the field of planning. HIGHER SALARIES , During the past year, an esti mated 300 to 400 new positions in planning were opened in local government agencies alone. Op portunities also await the plan ning graduate at the state and Seniors: See Page Five ART MUSEUM TO BE READY, BY NEXT FALL The Ackland Memorial Art Mu seum will probably be ready for use by next fall, John V. Allcott, head of the art department said yesterday. Money' for the museum, was donated to the University by the late . William Hayes Ackland, a Tennessee businessman. , The building will house an art gallery, art library, study rooms, art classrooms and offic.es. Con struction was started last fall af ter five years of planning. t "It will round out the art side of the university. It will also pro vide an extra-curricular course for students," said Allcott. There is also a fund for teach ers and collection of art teachers. Allcott stated there will be loan exhibits along with the permanent exhibits. This wilT aid both art students and the general public. The gallery operation will serve as a laboratory for art students and staff. The program and date of exhib its will be announced later.
