TE -C BILLINGS, MONTANA JANUARY 18, 1951 VOL. 4, NO. 10 Dr. Vernom Cooper Dr. Vernom Cooper, E.M.C.E. faculty member, has recently re- turned from a trip to Europe. Dr. Cooper visited England, France and Italy while abroad. While in Paris, he attended the International Congress of His- torical Science. Upon his return to the United States, he also attend- ed the American Economic Association and the American Historical Association, both held in Chicago, Ill. When questioned as to the coun- try he liked best, Dr. Cooper felt it was difficult to decide. He has previously visited England and France three times, but this was his first trip to Italy. He expressed delight in observing the artistic skill of the Italian workers. Dr. Cooper feels many Ameri- cans maintain a wrong impres- sion of the feelings of Europeans toward Americans. Although there are always differences in opinions even in our own coun- try, he feels that the Europeans look upon the Americans with gratitude and appreciation for help given. Dr. V. Cooper Returns From European Jaunt Parking Regulations Put Into Effect The parking regulations set up at the fall quarter meeting of the buildings and grounds committee will be put into effect immediate- ly after the completion of a larger parking area on the campus. This was announced this week by Jim Nicholson, president of the com- mittee. Committee members discussed faults in the present parking sit- uation and voiced the general op- inion that these new regulations must be enforced to aleviate the present parking problems. Harold Slavens, buildings and grounds secretary, listed the following regulations: 1. No parking on oval, in front of the Administration Build- ing. 2. No parking in any area which has yellow paint on the curb. 3. No parking in front of the Science Building. 4. No parking for thirty feet on each side of the bottle neck, north of the gym. 5. No parking at the south end of the island west of the Ad- ministration Building. M. E. Johnson, Eastern's busi- ness manager, added the follow- ing registration proceedure: Cars must be registered in duplicate in the business office and 1951 license numbers must be reported as soon as they are obtained. Each car must have an E. M. C. E. decal with seal embassed, that is easily visible at all times. EMCE Service Group Urged to Change Name Janet Hartley, president of Spurs, announced last week that the club had received word from the Bozeman chapter concerning its charter. This letter pointed out that al- though the E.M.C.E. group had organized in 1950 with the inten- tion of receiving a charter this year it would probably be sev- eral years before they could be- come associated with the nation- al organization. Bozeman also suggested that there was an objection to the use of the name Spurs since as yet they were not a chapter. Miss Hartley stated, \We plan to con- tinue as a service organization to help with school functions, but we will change our name as was suggested with the idea in mind of someday becoming associated with the national organization Spurs.\ Eleven Students Receive Degrees Eleven students who will re- ceive education degrees were an- nounced last week by President A. G. Peterson. Bachelor of science in education degrees will go to Mrs. Valborg Ryan of Billings and Jeannette Holland of Big Timber. Those completing the two-year curriculum are Richard Bjorgum of Billings, Nettie Fulton of Porn- peys Pillar, Lois Hardie of Boze- man, Mabel Jackson of Stanford, Irene Jordan of Miles City, Paul Larson of Roundup, Vivian Lar- son of Shepherd, Mari Ann Thore- sen of Plentywood and Helen Doyen of Twodot. Dr. Peterson Reports On Trip to Helena Following a trip to Helena for a budget hearing, President A. G. Peterson stated that increased en- rollments are presenting a special problem to administrators. The reason for the registration is the central location of Billings while the population increase in this area and good transportation facilities. The main problem is that the increase in enrollment brings on increased costs of the administra- tion thus resulting in a decreased \cost per student\ at Eastern. Dr. Peterson presented a study by Professor A. S. Merrill of Mon- tana State University which ranks Eastern last in a list of 19 western colleges and universities in which costs per student ranged from $373 to $865. The average cost is $588. In Montana units, the aver- age cost per student is approxi- miately $641. Figures compiled by Dr. Peter- son covering Montana units show Eastern ranking lowest with a per student cost of $443. Other unit costs range to $904. Accompanying Dr. Peterson to Helena were President R. R. Ren- ne of Montana State College and M. E. Johnson, E.M.C.E. business manager. Deming Is January Junior Rotary Choice Bob Deming, junior education student from Plentywood, has been named Eastern's junior Ro- tary member for the month of January, Billings Rotary club of- ficials announced this week. It has been the practice of Ro- tary to name junior honorary members from local prep schools and colleges this year. The stud- ent members attend regular club meetings. This practice is carried on to acquaint students with Ro- tary work. Representing Rocky Mountain this month is Dale Rhodes. Service News Because of a last minute change in orders, the group scheduled to leave for naval training on Janu- ary 10, had an extra five days at home. Monday they left for San Diego. E.M.C.E. students includ- ed were Ewald Herold, Joseph Dax, Norman Christiansen and Eldon Hutchinson, all of ings. Air force enlistees, who were sent to Texas, included Russell Steele, Kenneth Thompson, Har- old Carlsen and Allard Griggs from Billings and Carmen De- Carlo of Laurel.

The honor roll for the fall quarter has been released by the registrar's office. Qualifications for the honor roll are stated as follows: a student must complete at least 12 credits for a grade point average of 2.25. Grade points are assigned as follows: for each credit of grade A, 3 points; for each credit of grade B, 2 points; no grade points are granted for grades of I, D or F. Five students earned a grade point average of 3.00. These stud- ents were Richmond Allan and Barbara Wheeler, Billings; Betty Joyce Eastlick, Molt; Vivian Lar- son, Shepherd; Katherine Paul- son, Hardin. The following students earned a grade point average of 2.25 or better. Ruth Allman, Thomas Anderson, Eileen Badgley, James Bickler, Florence Blank, Robert Crosser, Beverly Downs, Donna Drew, Jane Evans, Dona Fulton, Marvin Gloege, David Hartley, Mason Henderson, Carroll Hov- land, Carl Johnson, Neil Keefer. Robert Mammen, Jewel Matt- son, Lorraine Ness, Walter Nolt, Bonnie Olson, Sylva Pederson, Eunice Peterson, May Richard, Loris Rose, Bob Sos, Estelle Strong, George Swords, Kenneth Thompson, Gilbert Warila, Thom- as Whiteley, John Williamson, Don Woehl, all of Billings. Tom Bennett, Leo Eberhardt, John Lackman, Richard Nelson, Laurel. Edward Arnold, Absarokee; June Berg, White Sulphur Springs; Gordon Boyd, Big Tim- ber; Vera Campbell, Hobson; Robert Carbone, Plentywood; Don Churchill, Red Lodge; Jeanette Devlin, Terry; Faye Dolve, Rye- gate; Evelyn Dunham, Kalispell; The post-war recovery that England is making is extraordin- ary according to Dr. Cooper, al- though France and Italy have been doing less well. In his opin- ion, we would be less critical about post-war recovery if we took into consideration our own slow recovery after the Civil War. Little language difficulty was felt by the Coopers, since Dr. Cooper speaks French and Mrs. Cooper speaks , both French and Italian. However, they feel that it would be quite possible to trav- el in Europe without speaking foreign languages, since someone who speaks English can usually be found. Dr. Cooper will speak in an assembly later and give more highlights of his trip. Joan Greene, Colstrip; Angelo Gross, Polson; Mabel Jackson, Stanford; Jacqueline Lewis, Fair- view.

Cerebral Palsy Film Stresses Education Needs A special education program was given in the assembly last week. Following a short talk by Coach \Shorty\ Alterowitz, Dr. R. L. Henderson and Mr. .Herbert J. Borchert, executive director of the Cerebral Palsy Center, spoke to the students. Dr. Henderson told of the gen- eral problems of national and state education for the exception- al child. He said, \There are 45,- 000 of these children in the United States, but only one in ten re- ceives proper teaching.\ The blind, deaf, crippled, emo- tionally upset and exceptionally bright or dull fall into this cate- gory. Many job opportunities are available in this field and future teachers could be very useful in teaching these children. A movie, \A Day in the Life of a Cerebral Palsied Child,\ was then shown. It brought out the various methods of treatment and the resulting improvement in the palsied child. Registration Figures Show Increase Over 1950 Winter Quarter Although the number of full time students attending Eastern has dropped slightly from fall quarter, registration figures show an increase over winter quarter 1950, according to Registrar Lin- coln Aikins. Enrollment for the quarter now in progress is 447. This is an in- crease of six students over the 441 enrolled last winter quarter. Aikins pointed out that it is the practice for colleges to compare the registration of any particular quarter with that of the corres- ponding quarter of the previous year. These figures exclude stud- ents who have dropped out of school since the beginning of the term. Last quarter Eastern reached an all time enrollment high with 493 students registering, giving this school a 15.3 per cent in- crease. This was the only increase in enrollment of any of the units of the Greater University system, according to figures published last fall. The registrar's office also an- nounced that 67 new students en- rolled in Eastern this year are transfers from other colleges or universities. Fifty per cent of the new students registering for win- ter quarter study are transfer students, they stated. Winter quarter will end March 15 and spring quarter will open March 26. Tests for winter quart- er are scheduled for March 12-15, Aikins announced. Ski Club Plans Week End Trip to West Yellowstone Eastern Ski Club is planning a ski trip to West Yellowstone the last week end of the month. Anyone in school who is inter- ested in skiing is invited to go on this trip. Skiers must pay their own bus fare, but cabins and hotel accommodations will be ob- tained at special rates. Beginners can receive ski les- sons from a regular skiing in- structor, and skiing equipment can be rented at West Yellow- stone. The profits from the dance and the hayride sponsored by the Ski Club last week end will be used to finance the trip. Dr. and Mrs. James Brown will accompany the group as chap- erones. Dr. Brown is the Ski Club sponsor and an E.M.C.E. faculty member. FALL QUARTER HONOR ROLL ANNOUNCED BY REGISTRAR
