CHARIjOTTESVlLLE Uni-! versity of Virginia President Edgar F.

Shannon Jr. announced Saturday the establishment of the University of Virginia, which will serve the academic interests of all scholars and institutions of higher learning in the commonwealth. The new press is believed to be the first in the United States designed, as its name implies, to serve not merely the scholars of a single institution but of all institutions and scholarly publishing organizations in an entire state. Dr. Shannon also announced he has appointed Victor Reynolds, 57, manager of the Cornell University Press, as the director of the University Press of Virginia.

Reynolds will take up his new duties in March. Reynolds of the Association of American Discount Dept. Store 138 SYCAMORE ST. DUPONT ZEREX ANTIFREEZE is a past president University Presses and has had 35 years experience in the book publishing field. Explained Dr.

Shanson: "Our press will have a broad base, appealing not only to distinguished publishing organizations such as the Institute of Early American History and Culture in Williamsburg and the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond, but also to all educational institutions in Virginia, which have heretofore lacked for their scholars the stimulus of an academic publishing outlet." The press will receive guidance from a Boa of Directors, three of whose members are leaders of other scholarly organizations in 99 Gal. Limited 2 Gals. Auto Output 183,417 Units DETROIT--U.

Virginia, and (our are University professors. Non-University members are Samuel M. Bemiss of Richmond, former president and a leader of the Virginia Historical Society; Lester J. Cappon, director of the Institute of Early American History and Culture at Williamsburg, and Walter M. Whitehill, director and librarian of the Boston Athenaeum and a member of the Iward of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation.

Starling Reid, chairman of the psychology department, and Dr. Arthur Stocker, chairman of the classics department and associate dean of ihe Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Dr. Shannon also announced that the new Board of Directors has agreed to take on an additional function: to bring about a new statewide organization for the general advancement of scholarly publishing in Virginia. "Such an organization could help to elevate the standards in re- earch and writing by Virginians nd to encourage research by achers in all the colleges," Dr.

lannon said. "It could seek pri- ate funds for the publication of ork by any press." Last year, the Virginia General ssembly appropriated $36,850 in le 1962-S4 biennium for salaries, quipment, and operation of a mall press staff. The University of Virginia, from ndowment funds, will pay the ull salary of Director Reynolds nd will place $50,000 at the dis- osal of the press board as lications revolving fund." The University Alumni Fund has et as one of its goals for the urrent year the raising of an ad itional $25,000 to add to the $50,00 revolving fund. "Although our beginnings must modest as to quantity," Dr hannon explained, "it is imper- fcive that from the beginning we et the most exacting standards to the quality of all publica ions in both content and form this connection, we will in sub equent budget requests to the nmmonwcalth seek funds for ad lilional staff as the activity lie press will require." It is planned that books publish id by the University Press of Vir will be printed by commerc al printers. To avoid any possible confusion vith the University Press of Vir inia, the University has changer he name of the former Univer ity Press to the University Print- ng Office.

Reynolds was offered the posi ion as director of the new press dr. Shannon said, after he "was nthusiastically recommended by le Board of Directors of the press." "He is well known for the notable expansion that the Cornell Jniversity Press has experienced under his direction," Dr. Shan- ion added.

McKENNEY Problem causing bad behavior should he studied and the causes corrected, to get good discipline, it was emphasized in a panel discussion here. With M. Randolph Atkinson as moderator, the panel discussion was given by Mrs. Thomas Rives, a parent; Miss Parke Leigh Orgain, visiting teacher; the Rev.

Warren Rawles, Baptist minister, and Richard E. Lewis, Dinwld- die attorney and substitute judge of the Dinwiddie County and the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. Making children assume responsibility is best form of discipline I've found," Mrs. Rives said, "and develops love, respect, and trust." Of course the amount and type of responsibility varies at different age levels. She felt that discipline should start with birth and that "only through great love can you have perfect discipline." "The child's behavior in the school room is his way of show ing how he's getting along," Miss Orgain said.

"If behavior is good he's well adjusted. If behavior is bad, it's a signal that he is in trouble and needs help. Behind bad behavior is pressure that is causing him to act as he does and the cause must be found, to help him." She feels that many things should be studied in order to fine the trouble: grades, health, at tendance, finances, home life, anc others. And the way that each child is handled determines wheth er he acts better or worse rvex time. "Good discipline is not an em in itself, but to provide a healthy atmosphere for learning," she said.

Rawles says the church has a responsibility in instructing cM dren which, in a sense, is dis cipline. He condemned the nega tive approach to discipline an felt that it should be changed a positive one. "Every child is born good. En Obituaries Waverly G. Butler Waverly G.
