Five Years of Transition ? ? '?
What of the Future?

The accelerated program for graduation in three calendar years was in
operation during this period and Has
enabled 40% of our regular studentbody to prepare themselves for teaching positions one year sooner than in
previous years. On July 1, 1943 the
college. year of two eighteen-week
semesters and three summer sessions
aggregating twelve weeks was changed to three terms of sixteen weeks
each . Summer Sessions aggregating
twelve weeks were also provided for
teachers. This change in calendar enabled us to bring our accelerated program into step with the calendar prescribed by the Navy V-12 Contract.
The residual value of the experience
gained by the faculty personnel of the
college in war programs is great. The
ability and willingness of individuals
to adjust themselves to meet new conditions is a most estimabl e quality.
In operating the 1944 Summer
Courses in Aviation as an experimental laboratory school, we were able to
staff the program with members of
our own faculty. This program would
not have been at all possible if we
had followed the policy of hiring outside specialists to teach the war programs.
Notice of the nation al importance
of this program has been reflected in
Tribune of August 6, 1944, and in the
October 1944 issue of the Aviation
Magazine .
Enrollment
Size is a symptom but not a cure
for all educational ills , Numbers are
necessary to the operation of a collego and , therefore, an analysis is
presented so that we may .view the
situations as they have changed ami
the steps which have been taken to
meet them as they occurred ,

?Num ber of war students not available.
tEstimated April 1945,
When we think of faculty we again
consider numbers. However, mere
quantity is not enough . Lot us consider quality.
Instruction has been tested in this

by harvey a. andruss

last five years as never before . The
Civil Aeronautics Administration, acting for the Department of Commerce,
has compiled , administered, and evaluated the tests given to each aviation
student. The Navy has also tested its
V-12 Trainees in both physical accomplishments and academic achievement. Nurses have been examined by
the State Board of Nursing before
the Registered Nurse Certificate has
been conferred . Never before have
the results of college instruction been
subjected to evaluation by outside
agencies. The results have been unanimously satisfactory in comparison
with other institutions and this is
attributable in a large part to the
efficient coordination and the conscientious instruction in our war programs. No higher compliment can be
paid to a faculty group.
The regular faculty has been reduced S% (not including training teachers) while the average decrease in
all teachers colleges has been 24%.
Three colleges show their faculties decreased by 50%.
• The basic employment period for
the instructional staff is 36 weeks. All
salaries are computed on this basis or
fractional part thereof.
Summer Sessions have been selfsupporting in terms of instructional
costs although for many years the
rate of salary payment during the
summer has been from 70 to 80% of
that provided in the basic salary
schedule.
With the change in calendar to the
year-round operation of the college
having three te:ms of equal length ,
we have been f>ble to maintain the
salnry schedule during the Summer
Term or Trimester and Sessions for
Teachers.
More employment, that is more
weeks of employment, have been provided . The average faculty member
taught forty-one (41) weeks in the
college year 1942-1943 and this was
increased to forty-five (45) weeks in
1943-1944.
A cost of living increase for all instructional and non-instructional employees receiving less than $3,750 was
made effective as follows; 15% additional October 16, 1942, 10% additional, September 1, 1944. Therefore,
present salary rates are approximately 25% higher than before the war
period,
While one-fourth of our faculty are

were paid for these additional services
at the same hourly rtite as part-time

Informal or Sloppy
The country-wide wave of criticism
about college girls' "Sloppy Clothes"
isn 't so much the fault of the clothes
themselves as the way they 're worn ,
says Miss Elizabeth Osborne, consultant in personal development . "Even
dungarees and shirttails can look attractive if the girl who wears them
is beautifully grooined," Miss Osborne
tells us . College girls should follow
the example of California women who
have mastered the secret of wearing
casual clothes smartly .
