Page Four SCARLET AND BLACK A New Instructors State Ideals, Otter Experience, Achievement Ed. Notell Following are mries about four of Grinnell‘s new professors. Next week more of the new faculty members will be covered. Zimmar A new instructor in psychology is George P. Zimmar, Zimmar holds 35. and M.Al degrees from Roosevelt University. He has spent the past {our years working on a variety of research problems in psychology at the State Univer- sity of New York at Buffalo. He also worked as a part-time instruc- tor at Millard Fillmore College, the evening division of Buffalo, teaching physiological and intro- ductory Psychology, He has been It lecturer at Rosary Hill College in Williamsvllle, New York. Sev- cral of his papers have been pub- fished. Pollak Desire to teach in a small liber- al arts school was chief among the motivations which brought William Pollak, new instructor in economics, to Grinnell College this fall. A graduate of Oberlin Col- lege, he received his master's degree from Princeton University. Preferring a student discussion approach in his classes. the young instructor believes that the pur» pose of a professor is to develop rtudent interest in his field. "Too often a teacher feels that his job Is to impart to his classes the knowledge which he has accum- mulated,” he explains. "l teel that the real challenge is to create a curiosity about our field and to show students how to pursue this curiosity." Nelz'gar Benny D. Nefzger, new instruc- tor in sociology at Grinnell, comes to us with a B.S.c, degree from the University of Iowa He re cently completed his M.A. re- quirements at Southern Illinois University. where he also finished nearly all courses for his PhD. degree. Between his graduation from Iowa and his matriculation at Southern lllinois, he spent three years in the United States Air Force and worked for the St Louis branch of the Maytag Companyl Edwards The theory that a liberal arts education serves no practical pur- pose is strongly refuted by Jack Edwards, Grinnell‘s new assistant professor of political science. “For most professions, four years ot college is not enough; more spe- cialized training is u sually required." he commented. Four years of instruction in bus- iness administration, for example, is no longer a passport to success in the business world, according to the young teacher. “Most com» panies are interested Ln bright. capable young men whom they will be willing to train them- selves." he continues l‘The broad understanding and perspective which result from a liberal arts education give the Grinnell grad- uate an advantage over the typi- cal university graduate." Specializing in the American [)0 lltical system, Edwards is a grad- note of Macalester College and recently completed studies for his LLB. at Harvard University. ‘Hidden Scholarship’ Is Worth $1200 To Us Poor. Tattered Grinnellians Did you realize that you. you poor, broke, tattered Grinnelllan, are the proud, it unwitting, pos- sessor of a $1200 scholarship? A “Hidden Scholarship" — that‘s a clever little term that the adminis- tration applies to the tact that if each student were charged the full cost of a Grinnell education, he would be coughing up 53700 per year instead of his present gruel- ling $2600. And what are the other sources of financing? Or, to put it in more Grinnellian terms, who the heck kicks in the rest? DANISH MAID Home of Quality Large variety of delicious cookies and doughnuts 4th Ave. Indulge Your spurgeon’s Well, there's the endowment fund—including the income pro- ducing properties, like “our" se- curities, oil wells and such, which totaled up are worth about l5 mil- lion and yield about $350,000 a year. Then there are capital giits, like the Ford Foundation affair, and. on the other hand, gifts from people. All of which are quite vital and necessary since the 1964—65 budget was $4,110,619. Expenses range all the way from $22,000 tor laundry (think what they could save it they’d only let the student body sleep on their bed pads) to $200,000 in fringe benefits for employees. Others in- clude: 75,000 for electricity; 13,000 for water (signiiying that Grinnel— lians study more and bathe less?) 60,000 for fuel; 16,000 for fire in- surance (possibly this could be reduced if some funds were chan- neled into buying some ashtrays for ARH); 673,000 for building and grounds (probably subsidized by north campus social funds): and 1.400.000 for salaries. What it all adds up to is that if someone just off the top of his head decided to buy GrinnEII Col- lege, it would cost ’em 25 million. And although not always consid» ered an asset by the administra- tion, it causes one to wonder—is the student body also included in this figure? Friday. September 14. [965 Wall Discusses Year in Sweden. Describes Scandinavian Education By ANNE FARRER “Like a Minneapolis on the coast" is how Joseph Wall (his- tory) describes oothenhurg, Swe- den. where, taking a bit of a husman's holiday, he worked at the University of Gothenburg last year setting up an American Stud- ies program. Teaching a lecture course and a seminar, he found that Swedish students do not work quite as hard as American since they take their final exams at their own discretion—and as a result of their own discretion, some had re mained ot the university for five or six years and gave no indi- cation ct leaving within the near future. Sweden’s educational system neatly avoids two rather common us. collegiate problems: open dorms and beards. The first is due to the fact that Gothenhurg, as most European schools, has no residential campus, or much of a campus at all, since the depart- ments are scattered all over the city and the two dorms that they do have are owned by the govern. ment and run by the students. Swedish secondary schools give the student the equivalent of an American junior college educa- tion. and by the time they reach the university, the students are approximately 20 and have "grown out of and gotten over (he heard stage.” Wall ter Sweden is "pleas- ant and civilized country" which has also rather neatly avoided a few domestic problems by avoid— ing war and not having war costs to burden the national budget. However, this does not imply that militarily or ideoligically Sweden is in a state oi vegetation, for “it is a neutral but not pacifistic country" with universal conscrip- tion. Wall expressed the View that within the next three or four years, unless there is an inter- national armament control, Swe- den will develop itself as an atom- ic power. He also observed that the high standard of living there is matched and well correlated with its cost. As for the people, the Walls enjoyed them, although “they seemed to be eating most of the time." To avoid “the long. dark Swe— dish winter" the Walls traveled to Greece for Christmas. .During the summer they made several side trips: to Leningrad, which had ‘ “depressing air of post-war ex- haustion” and a limited selection or material at the news standsn to the other Scandinavian coun- tries, which are quite distinct from one another; and to northern Swo- den, where Wall attended a semi- nar tor English teachers from all over Scandinavia, including Ico- land.
