"She is very much like the New York Yankees." Why the New York Yankees? Mama asked.

Well." I said, "the Yankees have the habit of success, and so has she; they have supreme confidence, which is also her attribute; and both she and they have talent of a very high order." Mama nodded, concurring with the analogy. she said, 'i see what you mean."

Actually, says Dean Ful-lagar, most colleges that prepare students for teach-ins allot a far higher proportion of their programs to academic subjects than to the 'methods" courses which Rickover seems to view as a sinister brew of pap and poison. And, the articulate admiral notwithstanding. Ful-lagar believes the big questions in education these days are questions of method: When should we start to teach foreign languages? How can we do a better job of teaching children to read? How shall we stimulate gifted "under- 16-WEEK EVENING CLASSES BEGIN MAY 20 12-WEEK MORNING CLASSES BEGIN MAY 27 REGISTER NOW.

The university's planners are at work trying to find appropriate "lebensraum" for the college. Realistically, however, they acknowledge that despite the increasing national interest in education generally, it's far tougher to get dollar support for a 1 1 of education than for science or engineering or medicine. To the schools of the Genesee Valley, the spaco problems of the College of Education are far from academic.

For they know that the continuing success of their educational partnership with the college depends to a considerable extent on its ability to expand its physical resources. If this ran be done in the next year or two, there is every indication that the college and the schools it serves will make rapid strides in meeting the complex educational needs of young people In a changing society. And. in the process, they may set the pace for other communities as well. health may represent the college's greatest single potential for national distinction in the years ahead.

The college has far outgrown its Taylor Hall quarters; already some faculty temporarily are housed in another building. Next year, some additional space will become available in the new llopcman Engineering Building; however, it can be used only until needed by the College of Engineering. Hut by 1970 the college expects to increase its 25-man faculty to 36.

Its full-time graduate enrollment will double from the current 72 to 140 or more. Its undergraduate enrollment will increase as well. Moreover, even now the of the opening performance at the Deauville. at Miami Beach, of Miss Ethel Merman, the wonderful brassy star of musical comedy, whose rasping way of belting out a song would bring her, for a five-day engagement, a ton a ton-and a half of money. Miss Holm, with whom we had dined before during our Florida visit, asked us to a party that was to start in her apartment, a show place that was recently described In text and pictures in a two-page spread in a Sunday issue of the Miami Herald.

"We'll meet here." she achievers" how prepare the child of below-average capacity for a useful role in a society that doesn't seem to want him? And of critical importance how can we recruit more of the nation's outstanding young people into careers in education? THAT LAST (jl'KSTIOX has special impact for the education faculty on the River Campus. ROCHESTER BUSINESS INSTITUTE SCHOOL OF ADULT EDUCATION 172 CLINTON AVE. S. celebrating our 100th Anniverstry PHONE HA 6 0680 The reason: Since University of Rochester undergraduates rate among the top student bodies in the country, the College of Education recruits its students from a highly select group. To attract such exceptionally able young people into teaching takes a college program that will fully challenge their creative and intellectual capacities.

Already the college Is trying out some fresh ideas on this score. In the junior year, for example, the University's future elementary teachers acquire their initial experience in practice teaching. Then, as seniors, they have an opportunity What's great in savings accounts? perhaps unique in the tion to work on a custom- said over the telephone," and go on to the Deauville for the Merman opening. After the show, Ethel's giving a little party in her apartment. Later, you're to come back here to sleep." SO WE CHECKED OUT of Fort Lauderdale and moved to the 15th floor of the Terrace Towers, where, from the terrace of Miss Holm's apartment, the night skyline of Miami glitters like a diadem of a million jewels.

The interior is an interior decorator's delight, and two interior decorators were members of our party. It is no secret that at the time of her divorce from showman Billy Rose (Louis Nizer tells all In his book, "My Life in Miss Holm got more than peanuts for alimony. She also managed to salvage from the conjugal wreck two fine things that once were part of her former husband's collection of rare virtu and famous paintings. One is a mahogany table, a signed piece, wrought during the Chinese period of Thomas Chippendaie, England's most famous cabinetmaker; the other, a stunning Renoir nude, which adorns one of the walls of the apartment and which, in a community that publicly admits to more burglaries than any other city in the land, is protected by ingenious securities. Besides Miss Holm, the decorators and ourselves, the party included Walter L.

Whalen and his wife, Miami residents, who brought (or Mr. Whalen brought) photographs of himself and my lady taken at the time they both went to Antwerp as members of the United States Olympic Team. That was a long time ago, and the clothes Mama wore looked funny. A former Philadclphian, a Harvard and Olympic high Jumper, Whalen was a close friend of the late Jack Kelly, winner of the single sculls at Antwerp (the English barred him from the Diamond Sculls at Henley because his hands had once laid bricks), and Whalen's first wife was the Godmother of Grace Kelly, now Princess of Monaco. With Mr.

and Mrs. Whalen came Tommy Whalen, no relation, who, in the pre-Kefauver days, bet enormous sums of money on sporting events all over the land, and who spends money as though there were no tomorrow. It was Tommy who tooks us to dinner, at a table flush with the Deauville stage, and who picked up a check that seemed to me as awesome as the national debt. 3IISS MERMAN came on, after a preliminary dancing act, and the audience which packed the Deauville's huge supper room gave her virtually a standing ovation. For 30 years indeed, for a mite more she has starred in musical comedy and pictures, and not once, in all that time, has she had a flop.

On the contrary, everything that she has graced has turned to pure gold, and you couldn't reckon on the fingers of your hands the total of her triumphs. She was superb this night, completely in control of her material and of her audience. She walked out on the stage with grace and ease, not a tremor of concern; and you knew at once that she owned it. From the first note she uttered, the audience was in the hollow of her hand and she could do with it what she chose. What she chose was to please it so greatly that each new song in her repertoire excited greater enthusiasm tailored teaching project of PLLOJS trff their choice.

Currently, for example, a student who wanted more experience in science teaching is receiving special training in a school with an especially strong science program; another, whose previous practice teaching was done in a wealthy suburb is, at her own request, teaching in a low-income urban neighborhood. MANY of The college faculty, one of the most exciting developments in the preparation of teachers at Rochester is the increasingly close lie between the College of Education and the University Medical School, with its internationally distinguished Department of Psychiatry.

The Carmers had moved south from the winter home they normally occupy in Florida in order to allow Mr.

Carmer to do some research for a historical piece he was writing.
