a a 3, 25, m. Quality as Well as Quantity Vital in Teaching Field--Bone ISNU President Explains Need For Bond Issue The most expedient way to obtain "university buildings when need them" is to pass the 190 million dollar bond issue at next November's state wide election. Those were the remarks of President Robert G. Bone Thursday night in an address to 100 Illinois State Normal University alumni and friends at the university's Founder's Day Celebration. "Quantity must be emphasized now if we are realistic and face our exploding population," he declared.

Mr. Bone pointed out that he would prefer to discuss quality of education rather than quantity, but reminded his audience that even if ISNU didn't have to prepare for more students it still needs additional facilities for its present student body, BONDS FOR BUILDINGS This is especially true, he added, if we hope to prepare graduates who will be at least satisfactory teachers, if not ones of quality. The 190 million dollar bond issue is designed to provide funds for capital improvements (new buildings and facilities) on the campuses of Illinois' six state supported universities. It is vital that the six schools obtain state funds for needed buildings, he continued. There may be other ways to obtain state funds than through a bond issue, but the proposed bond issue is the most expedient method to those needed facilities if we are to have them before it is too late.

MUSIC BEFORE WORDS President Bone's remarks on ISNU's future needs and the bond issue climaxed a dramatic presentation of the university's past and present. A nine voice student choral group, under direction of Ruth V. Yates, set the mood for talks by Mary Ellen ISNU student from Jacksonville; Dr. Andreas A. Paloumpis, alumni and member of the faculty; and Mr.

Bone. Colored slides were projected across a screen on the stage at intervals throughout the talks to emphasize, points made by the Miss Covey recalled the roles YOU YOU YOU played in the early development of the university by Jesse Fell, Jonathan Turner, Simeon Wright, Daniel Wilkins and Charles Ho- vey, SCHOOL 103 YEARS OLD Mr. Paloumpis discussed the last decade and present status of the university, He cited the development of new university and facilities, growth of the student body 4 and faculty and mod- ernization of the school's curriculum. He also stressed the existence of overcrowded conditions and the continued use of North the old Cardinal Court barracks. The program was preceded by a coffee hour and followed by the serving of individual birthday cakes commemorating the university's 103rd birthday.

William L. Hodge, president of the ISNU Alumni Association, presided during the program. AMERICA UPSIDE DOWN, AUSTRALIAN OBSERVES American mothers who have been mistaken for their daughters should maybe be insulted rather than flattered, according to an Australian observer of American faces. The observer is Marjorie Horton who is studying at the University of Illinois under a Rotary fellowship, and her remarks were addressed to the Bloomington Rotary Thursday. Miss Horton couldn't understand it.

Our high school students, she said, look so old for their age, but our older people look young for theirs. "How can you tell anyone's age here?" she asked. "When you're young you look old and when you're old you look Centennial Group Presents Portrait of Dr. Bone to ISNU A near life-size portrait of President Robert G.

ADAMS Police said a bad cheek writer had a good thing going for self this week--and for three days he had between $5 and $15 daily spending money.

But there was one serious flaw in the check writer's scheme-it couldn't last. Bad check news spreads rapidly in Bloomington and the writer apparently stayed around town too long. Authorities said the bum check passer would make partial payment on merchandise and promise to make final payment and pick up the item later. LINCOLN MAN HELD In the meantime, he would ask if the could make the initial check for an extra $5 or $10 so he could have a little change in his pocket.
