st. Johns College. the third
Oldest in the country, may open
a branch campus in Northern
California.
DR.. Richard D. Weigle, college
president, asked alumni, espe-
cially those living on the West
Coast, to express their views on
the possibility of a second St.
Johns College.
An article in the liberal arts
schools alumni publication said
DR.. Weigle met last month with
a group of interested citizens
headed by Dean Linden Leavitt.
jr., of Monterey Peninsula
Junior College.
Under a tentative blueprint
there would be a campus of SO

and administrative building.
two dormitories, a dining hall
and student center. The initial
costs would be less than SO
million.
The California school would
open only to freshmen the first
year with a new class being
added until it became a four
year institution. The maxi
mum enrolment would be 300.
st. Johns, which has some
ESQ students, estimates the new
college would need a sustain

A college spokesman said no
decision has been made on
whether the California college

Elementary
Studies Face
State Inquiry

RICHMOND, April 16 (AP)
The reading, writing and
arithmetic that Junior studies
in the elementary grades is due
for a close inspection by some
Virginia educators.
However, the study will range
over the entire elementary cur
Iriculum and not stop at the
traditional 3 Rs.
1t will touch on such things
as the teaching of foreign Ian
guageS in the lower grades, cut
ting down on classroom inter-
ruptions, and the accreditation
Of elementary schools.
The study was one of three
called for last week by DR..
Davis Y. Paschall, State super
intendent of public instruction,
at a meeting of school super
intendentS in Roanoke.
A similar study of the high
school program led to signifi-
cant changes which were effec-
tive last September for pupils
entering the eighth grade.
Action Due Next Year
The elementary curriculum
proposals are to be reported to
the State Education Depart
ment's textbook and curricu-
lum committee by the first of
next year. Final recommended
tions are to be made to the
State Education Board by Feb
ruary, 1861.
j. L. Walthall, Tazewell school
superintendent, will head the
40-member committee of school
superintendents and State Ed
ucation Department personnel
who will study the elementary
curriculum.
Among the points the group
will consider are these, included
in a tentative report made re-
Gently by the education boards s
curriculum committee:
Are there too many subjects
prescribed for the elementary
schools? Can any be elimi-
mated or consolidated? How
can the instructional program
be improved at the transitional
level between elementary and
junior high school to ease the
transition for students?

tance of time to teach, time to

The statement said that all
school officials should provide
a maximum opportunity for
teaching to go forward in the
classroom without undue inter-
ruption, or time consuming i'm
positions from the outside"
Other studies called for in
clude the distribution of school
funds and statutes and regu-
lations relating to curriculum

Science Island Ready
ToStort Youth Program

A small island just off the
coast of Portland. Me-, is about
to become the site of an un-
usual summer program for
talented teen-aged scientists.
Until recently, the island was
owned by the United States
Government as a defense in
stallation. In wartime as many
as 1900 armed forces per-
Isonnel had been stationed on
its 125 acres. ...
Over the years, 81 buildings
were constructed on the is
land. The Government, in fact,
spent a total of SIS billion on
Improvements.
The island, guarding the
Portland harbor, used to be
known as Gushing Island.
Now, however, it has a new
name, Science Island, and a
new owner. the National Youth
Science Foundation. This foun-
dation has what is perhaps a
unique distinction: Four Nobel
Prize winners on its board of
directors.
Seek 1000 a Year
The directors hope to attract
1000 of the Nations most
promising young scientists to
the island each summer for in
formal, but inspirational, shirt
sleeve sessions with some of
the Nations most distinguished
scientists. The youngsters will
be encouraged to pursue inde-
pendent research projects
Moreover, they will be on full
scholarships supplied primarily
by business firms.
The program gets under Way
this summer with so young
sters. The National Science
Foundation has agreed to serve
as a "pump-primer":: it an
nounced an $4,000 grant last
week to support the program
this year.
Although the foundation is
now in its second year of sup
porting a Nationwide summer
science program for some 1000
youngsters, officials there admit
that the Science Island project
is unusual in at least two re-
spects.

Secondly, the whole project
resulted from the imagination
and energy not of an institu-
ton of higher learning, nor
even of the Youth Science
Foundation, but of a New Jer-
sey industrial public relations
man.
He is David L. Lukens of
South Orange. N. J. For the
last three years-ever since his
l3-year-old son showed a real
ability for biology-he has de-
voted most of his time to the
Science Island project.
He, in fact. set up the Youth
Science Foundation and con-
vinced some wealthy industrial
lists to help him buy Cushing
Island "for a very good price. "
Disclaiming any scientific
ability, Mr.. Lukens credits DR..
Vannevar Bush, board chair
man of the Massachusetts, In
Istitute of Technology, and DR..
Mervin j. Kelly, former board
chairman of the Bell Telephone
Laboratories, for helping him
to formulate his idea for a
summer science camp.
Mr.. Lukens spent consider
able time trying to find a suit
able college which would ad-
minister the program for the
foundation. At first, he met
with nothing but disappoint-
ment. Il interviewed 20 COL
lege presidents" he said. "All
of them indicated this would
have been just another project
to them"

about the problem and sug-
gested Mr.. Lukens contact a
small, virtually unknown in

Lover Boy" Accuses
Women Of PIoffinq
Husbands Murder

Chicago (ANP) - Mrs. Mary
Saisi, who fabricated a story about
a Negro killing her husband in
October 1858, was accused here
this week of engineering the muir
der plot.
The charge against Mrs. Saisi
who, ironically is on trial before a
Negro Criminal Court judge, Fred
Duke" Slater, former University
Of Iowa All American, is based on
testimony of Richard Lansing, who
Is now serving a life sentence in
connection with Peter Sasi's death.
Lansing said that Mrs. Saisi,
with whom he was carrying on an
Illicit love affair, promised him
half Of the $25, 900 life insurance
held by Saisi.
The staying Of Saisi, who was an
insurance salesman, aroused racial
tension in the area where he lived
when Mrs. Saisi swore that she
had seen a Negro fleeing from the
building just before she discovered
her husbands body.
After police made an intensive
search for the Negro she described
they became suspicious and began
to check discrepancies in her story.
Finally she and Lansing were ar
rested and charged with the crime.
