Idyllwild campus to end season in music festival
Day-care head lauded
Anne Greene, (right) who operates a nonprofit. 24-hour child-care center in her home near the campus, has been named “Citizen of the Week” by KNX radio.
Each week the Los Angeles radio station honors a local citizen who has made a contribution toward improving the community and who has demonstrated achievement worthy of recognition.
The head of the Small Fry Day Care Center was honored at a luncheon March 16. at which she was presented with a resolution of appreciation and an offer from the university to improve her classroom by paneling and painting the walls and installing a new floor. President John R. Hubbard (left) and Anna Bing Arnold, university trustee, also attended the luncheon.
Some 35 students here help with the care of 30 children from preschool to primary grades. County and state agencies pay childcare fees, but since there is never enough to cover expenses, the difference is paid from the salary of Lincoln Greene, her husband, a machinist at Me Donnell-Douglas Corporation, Santa Monica.

Volunteers are being sought for organizing and teaching classes in the fall semester Experimental College. They may contact Melissa Kenady, chairman of the Experimental College, in Student Union 312A, or by calling ext. 7988 from 1 to 3 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays.
The ASSC-sponsored Experimental College is not offered for grades or academic credit, but provides a chance for students, faculty, staff, and persons in the community to share their knowledge with others.
Courses last year ranged from yoga and cooking to how to light a room and rewrite the U.S. Constitution. Faculty for the courses have included members of the academic community, comedians, newspaper editors, housewives, and garage mechanics.

Three outstanding programs have been planned for the final weekend. In Rush Hall at 8:15 p.m. Sept. 1, the festival chamber choir will present

Some 75 others will be awarded the master of science in education.

CONCERN FOR UNDERPRIVILEGED
Students plan business projects
By MARK MERRYFIELD
Business Summer, a course offered by the School of Business, is a student activist’s dream come true, where a community project is his classroom and involvement in actual problems is his teacher.
Relevance was the key concept that the program attempted to offer the student. This was achieved by allowing the student to pursue his own interests within certain limits.
Lennard Davis, Jr. assistant professor of finance, said, “The purpose of the program was to develop projects for the students which will also benefit underprivileged communities and businesses. Special emphasis was given to projects that will expand the potential labor force and develop business opportunities in these areas.”
The Business Summer, offered for the third time since 1970, was a seven-week course that began June 19 and ended Aug. 5. It could be taken for either four or eight units. There were 20 students in the program, five at the graduate level.
The program was under the direction of Davis and Harry Grace, associate professor of management.
“Writing a term paper for this course was like writing one for real, because the final report goes back to the client,” Grace said.
Davis said, “For a student to do an effective job in the field, he must go beyond the classroom theory. He must be able to integrate his knowledge into a concerted effort in order to solve the problem that he has assigned himself.”
Projects for the program were both interesting and important. Kawai, a Japanese piano firm, posed this problem to the students in the Business Summer program: “Can Indians in the San Diego area assemble and distribute our pianos?”
For the students who decided to work on this project, it meant arduous research. Research was done to determine the demand for Japanese pianos in the United States, the Indians’ skills, and their motivation.
If this project is given company approval, it will mean new jobs for many forgotten American Indians.
Tevi Kingston, a minority businessman, had a problem in marketing his new plastic-coating machine.
The Business Summer students offered to assist Kingston, and they found who his
potential customers are and how they might use his packaging machine.
Without the assistance of the Business Summer program, it would have been difficult, if not impossible, for Kingston to market his product.
Another study was done for the Mid-Town Shopping Center, an enterprise which is financed and operated by blacks.
Students on this project were attempting to find out two things—How well is the shopping center doing, and how might it do better?
The Business Summer began in 1970, with Burton Marcus, associate professor of marketing, as its director.
Marcus was the program director during summer, 1970, and 1971. Under his leadership, the program explored the theoretical business problems of the Crenshaw District.
The program was given new leadership this summer under Davis and Grace. With new leadership came new ideas. This new philosophy strove mainly for student participation in the problems of underprivileged communities.
Grace said in conclusion, “If you offered a course in relevance, very few students would enroll.”
the school’s overseas programs, which have grown extensively and rapidly in recent years. More than 800 have earned School of Education master’s degrees overseas since the program started.
The School of Education first offered the opportunity for graduate-level study to personnel attached to the U.S. Dependents’ Schools in Europe in summer, 1963. Since then, master's and advanced programs have been established at many European sites.
Last year, the school established master’s programs at seven locations in Germany in affiliation with the U.S. Army. Another master of education degree program was inaugurated this year at Supreme Headquarters of Allied Powers in Europe, near Brussels, Belgium.
The operations of the School of Education also include programs in Tokyo, Japan; Taipei, Taiwan; New Delhi, India; Bangkok, Thailand; and Ghana.
Before his appointment in 1969 as commander-in-chief of the U.S. European Command and Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, Gen. Goodpaster, the commencement speaker, served in several high-level posts.
