Donovan, professor of history at the University of Arkansas, is the author of a new book on American intellectual history. Entitled, "Historical Thought in America; Postwar Patterns," the book was published by the University of Oklahoma Press. It concerns "the reassessment of themselves and their craft which historians undertook llic years immediately after World War II and delineates hose trends which were significant for the future," Donovan said. The book deals, too, with the general intellectual climate ol times. The i a thrust of postwar historical thought is seen by Donovan as a "new a concern for present problems but without the loss of scientific standards.

Donovan contends that this new responsibility demanded that historians be more accu rate and strive for greatei objectivity a previously anc "that they also study questions bearing most directly current dilemmas and that they be willing to speculate on long- changes in human society." Dr. Donovan joined the faculty here in 1969 after teaching at Texas Tech. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Oklahoma. He is the author of one previously published "Henry and Brooks Adams: The Education of Two American Historians' (University of Oklahoma Press) Donovan serves as graduate adviser for the Department of History and teaches courses on United States Social and In teltcclual History and Twentieth Century America.

"It's like a trolman said. yo-yo," one ship them south and they come right back up the string." They keep coming in hopes of escaping poverty. Aliens say jobs in rural Mexico, when available, pay 10 to 25 pesos a day-- about 80 cents to $2 in American currency. Aliens claim that by working long and rapidly in American fields they can save $60 to 5100 to send home every week or so. A small grocery store operator near here said she sells a steady stream of money orders to aliens.

"I guess I'm sending $3,000 back to Mexico for them each month," she said. COSTS But there are costs too. Some aliens sell livestock and other possessions in Mexco to raise up to $300 needed for transportation to U.S. farming centers. Others buy counterfeit visas called "chuecas" for $100 to $200.
