TO: Members of Public Employees
Retirement System and Their Rep
resentatives
The Public Employees Retirement
System, which has been functioning
so we'll during the past two years,
now faces a crisis in administrative
policy. Shall this organization, which
belongs to you and six thousand
other public employees of Montana,
continue to be maintained on a non
political basis? Or will it become an
other political football?
Now is the time to exercise your
prerogative as a citizen of Democ-
racy. Let your voice be heard, so that
your public officials will know your
wishes about your own retirement
system. Notify your nearest board
member and the Governor that you
want Fergus Fay to continue serv-
ing your interests as Secretary of the
Retirement System. Board members,
to contact, reside in four Montana
cities as follows:
Billings Gordon J. Beiswanger,
CO City Water Dept.
Great Falls-Ralph C. Bricker,
Huntsberger-Bri Co.
Helena Peter G. Meloy, c 70 Mon
tana Supreme Court.
Sidney = Joseph NJ Halvorsen,
Pioneer Loan & Realty Co.
This is your Retirement System
composed of County, City and
other public employees totalling
near half the membership. This
organizatio is not just another
State Departmental act quickly
in the interest of your own well
fare.
Send wire, write letter, or even
a post card. Most effective would be
to circulate a petition. Time is Short!
Your petition must be accomplished
swiftly. Contact other members and
decide what action can be taken
mediately. Avoid delay!
Yours in the interests of all Pub
lie Employees,
WILL WHALEN, Chairman
LUCY T. McLEMORE. Secretary
Administration of Fergus c. Fay as
Secretary of Public Employees
Retirement System
On September 1, 1947, Fergus C.
Fay became Secretary of Public En-
ployees' Retirement System. Dur
ing the following two years of his
administration, the membership of
Retirement System doubled and the
of public agencies which en-
tered by elections of employees,
trebled. On September /, 1947, the
assets of Public Employees Retire
nent System amounted to S719, 49,
IS. On September Is, 1949, the as
;ets of Public Employees Retirement
System amounted to S2,765, 1924.
Part Of this increase in assets repre-
;ents natural growth, but the greater
,art was due to the character of pub
ic relations established by Mr.. Fay. {
Prior to September /, 1947, there '
vas prevalent much hostility COM I
lined with a general lack of I'M
Outstanding between the personnel

difficulties precipitated in students
by the impact of new ideas. 1t is
a shock, at first, to be plunged into
conflicting ideas, and it is the func-
tion of personnel workers and
teachers to accustom the student
to this diversity of opinion, rather
than to permit him to regress into
a one-idea environment. Educated
men can tolerate diversity of opin-
ion, and this the personnel worker
must see clearly, so the student
will not suffer under an intolerance
toward diversity"
After deploring "the environ
ment of fear" prevalent in the ma
tion today, 'Dr. Carlson said that
this dread of war, of the collapse
of capitalism, the atomic bomb, or
overpopulation n evi t bly has
sprung from "a sudden loss of faith
in human tenacity and inventive
ness"
eff we lose faith in human be-
ings," he said, 1--WE also lose faith
in ourselves and in our own ability
to survive a critical period of his
tory.
Survive we will, of course, since
the fact of survival is the one

son we can learn from history, but
it is better for us and our
children if we can survive by our

souls, than if we merely exist and
survive despite ourselves which

THE personnel workers can par
ticipate in assuring survival by
helping students develop a phil
osophy of life that is more than a
structure held together by bits of
departmental knowledge; it will be
a philosophy in which the student
is prepared to assume his share of
responsibility for the cares of the

CONFERENCE
DIR. w. S. Carlson Addresses
Council of Guidance and
Personnel, Inc.
MEETING IN CHICAGO

A challenge to educators to
counteract "the psychology of ac-
Iquiescence, responsibility, pessi-
mism and even synicism that many
students take away from their uni
versities today" was voiced by DR..
William s. Carlson, president of
the University of Delaware, in an
address at Chicago Tuesday after
noon before the annual conference
of The Council of Guidance and
Personnel, Inc.
Directing his remarks primarily
at advisers, deans of men and wo-
en-, and other personnel workers,
DIR. Carlson said that "the chal-
lenge we face is one of the greatest
ever, and this is it: Far too many
of our current university graduates
the men and women from whom
society has right to expect lead
ership in troubled times-are
emerging into the non-academic
world confused, bewildered, and
cynical
TOO many, he continued,
'1eave our universities, not with a
vision of how they can participate
in the creation of new world or
how they can contribute to that
creation, but with the sole idea of
finding life security for themselves,
in jobs that seem to offer such
security.
Psychological Confusion
''The psychology under which
such jobs are sought as havens of |
refuge is negative, and therefore
bad. The psychology of acquies-
cence, responsibility, pessimism
and even cynicism that many stu
dents take away from their uni
versities today is not only bad but
also dangerous. And we educators
must accept this as our peculiar
responsibility, and must ask our
selves what we can do to counter
act and overcome it."
DR.. Carlson pointed out that the
entire country''wallows in trough |
of psychological confusion" and
that "as America changes in a
changing world, SO must our edu-
cation change"
Modern American education, he
declared, (which has grown out Of
long and honorable tradition,
must re-examine that tradition to
see if it serves modern times. Ed
ucation must find, not a formula,
but and attitude, by which it can
again exercise a function of pos
itive leadership in the modern,
changing world"
The role of the personnel worker
in this picture was emphasized by
DR. Carlson, who urged them to
develop a philosophy"
''The working up of an adequate
philosophy of life," he said "is the
crown and completion of the edu-
