Research at Montana State College

opportunity to do this sort of Investigations
is frequently factor in getting and keep
ing outstanding faculty, sometimes ones
with international regulations like DR.. r. B.
McBee, a 1nicrobioloigist, or DR.. William
McMannis, geologist Outstanding profes-
sors, the opportunity to do significant,
challenging work, and chance to help
pay college expenses with fellowship and
assistantship money brings good graduate
students to the campus.
Research at Montana State College was
originally entirely applied: that is, it was
intended to have practical application, to
make two blades of wheat grow where one
grew before This continues to be the major
concern of the research staff, but in the
last few decades it has become obvious to
scientists and scholars that sometimes the
most impractical information turns out to
be the most useful in the long run.
SPECTACULAR RESULTS
Barley Investigations and electronics are
two fields that have yielded spectacularly
practical results Professor Robert Eslick
of the Department of Plant Science and
his co-workers have been able to propagate
varieties of barley which are acceptable to
brewers and thus have opened a market to
Montana farmers that was long closed to
them. Professor Kenneth Goering of the
Chemistry Department has developed
method of making marketable barley syrup
which led former Cong Leroy Anderson to
establish new industrial plant at Conrad.
DR.. Donald Weaver, an engineer with a
working imagination, has developed an
electronics research center at the college
which has been the stimulus for Montronics,
Inc, new industry in Bozeman which now
employs about 60 technical and profes-
sional people including numerous engi-
neering graduates from the college.
PURE RESEARCH BASIC TO PROGRESS
Pure research is usually pretty hard for
the general public to understand and fire.
quently the legislature is reluctant to pay
for work which seems to have no immediate
value. However, without the existence of
pure research program there is no really
higher education worthy of the name The
true scientist and scholar wants passionate
ly just to know how and why things are
as they are. History is full of examples of
discoveries which at first seemed to have
no earthly application but became extreme
ly important. Consider atomic energy!
Among projects at the College which
might fall into the "pure" class are these:
an investigation into the chemistry of the
a study of geological history
of the Madison earthquake area an investi-
cation into the persistence of the primitive
Cree Indian religion; an attempt by a

Montana ~SCaUe COlloge
There is no telling when the most
visionary and impractical notion
will become useful, and every col
lege or university worthy of the
name will cherish the chance to
learn more about the nature of
truth than was known yesterday.
At least that is the way research
people at the Bozeman campus feel, and
this attitude, theoretically promoted by
Montana State Colleges Leon HI. Johnson,
Dean of the Graduate Division and Director
of the Endowment and Research Founda-
ton, has made Bozeman the major research
center for the state.
During the 100 years since the establish
ment of the Land Grant system, the pur-
pose of "The Peoples Colleges has
changed from purely Institutional one to
a three-part mission: to teach, to learn,
and to distribute the fruits of learning
hence the Montana State College teaching
faculty, it's experiment stations, and it's
extension service. All perform fundamental
services and are mutually interdependent.
THE WHY OF RESEARCH
To discover new facts and new relation
ships between old ones, to press beyond the
frontiers of certain knowledge, this is re-
search And college or university faculty
which does not include active researchers
is not first-rate faculty. 1t misses the
excitement of discovery; it tends to look
backward and to become pedantic; it fails
to provide the intellectual environment
which bright and eager students crave.
When students are aware that their men
tors are actively engaged in modifying the
nature and extent of truth, they are stimu-
lated to become active learners rather than
passive receptacles for proven facts.
At Montana State College the tie be-
tween teaching and research is most evil
dent in the rapidly growing Graduate Divi-
son Since the first graduate degree was
granted in 1902, there have been 978 sue
ceeding degrees Five hundred and eight
of these have been granted in the last five
years, % Of them Ph.D.s, the highest AGA
demic degree and one granted only to a
scholar who has made ga significant con-
tribution to Knowledge These degrees
were mostly earned by students working
under professors actively engaged in re-
search themselves. Often such work is spon-
sored by an industrial or federal agency
and is thus done at far less expense to the
state than would otherwise be necessary.

inexperienced or merely competent profess
sional people to work for the salaries the
College can offer. The existence Of oppor-
tunities to do serious research and TO teach
graduate students has made it possible to
attract and retain many good people on
the College staff. A failure to continue
support for their work would surely result
in their departure. In fact, when research
funds were cut by the last legislature, some
did leave from the Veterinary Research
Laboratory, the Agricultural Economics
Department, and other units.

HEAVY TEACHING SCHEDULES
HINDER RESEARCH

There are many faculty who are capable
of carrying out significant research and
would like an opportunity to do it, but are
completely absorbed by heavy teaching
loads. Teaching Is hours a week sounds
like pretty short one to those outside the
educators world, but when you realize
that really good instruction demands two
to three hours of outside preparation for
each hour in class, it is easy 10 see that
there is little time left for research Nu-
merous teachers at the College carry more
than Is hours per week; major colleges
and universities consider 9-12 hours in
class per week a normal load
Providing an opportunity to faculty who
can and wish to do research would measur-
ably increase the effectiveness of the Col
lege, but it is not possible with the present
student-teacher ratios. In many excellent
colleges and universities, faculty members
are required to engage in some research
or comparable out-of-class activity or to
be dismissed. Montana has not provided a
University budget which would give Mon
tana State College an opportunity to try
this policy.

DEAR ABBY: If you are

house, and a popular boy,
who lives in the best section

what would you do about
your house?
Should you have him pick
you up some place else? I am
afraid if he sees the dump
I live in he won't like me
any more. ASHAMED.
If he is the right kind of
boy, he won't care how shah
by your house is, as long as
it's clean. Have him pick you
UP at home.

DEAR ABBY: I have been
married for 81 wears and in
all that time my husband
hasn't had 81 baths. It's the
truth, Abby. I just cart get
him to take a bath. He takes
a bath just before his yearly
insurance check up. I guess
he must think more of the
doctor who examines him
than he does of me. Do you
think he could use a mental
check up next time?
ONLY HIS WIFE.

who would live for 81 years
with a man who battles only
once a year needs a mental
check up" as much as her
water-shy mate. Hose him

I'd tell my husband that

The choice Of plants for the
window garden can be as varied
as the interest Of the gardener,
If the window plant growing
area is sunny there are nu-
merous Towering plants to lend
color and texture of foliage as
well as greenery for winter con-
trast. The selection of plants
will necessarily be guided by
the size of the area (shelves)
as well as by the amount OF
sunlight and the temperature
Of the room.
Some gardeners will want
plants for suitable situations
around the room. Such a Sc
lection will necessarily be re-
stricted to the size of plant
which may be used, as well as
by the amount of light it will
receive. Temperature is a fac
| tor since many of the house
plants are indigenous to the
tropics.
African Violet
The well-known African vio-
LET which is a must for many
does require high humidity and
some light. In fact, the ability
of the African violet to bloom
is controlled to a large measure
by the amount Of light received
If it does not receive sufficient
light a well-grown plant will
produce abundant foliage but
very little if any bloom. If ii
receives too much light it will
bloom furiously with little fol-
iage. The African violet should
be placed where it received suf-
ficient light to produce both.
For Sunny Windows
In the sunny window the
choice might we'll be made from
such interesting plants as the
dwarf geraniums and the flow
ering maple (Abutilon), al
though the latter do best in g
temperature of so to 10 degrees
However, the long season Of
bloom from this strong growing
plant is usually desirable. A
smaller growing free-flowerins
plant is the wax-leaved be-
gonia. There are numerous va:
rieties of single and double

range is from white through

Bermuda Grass
Hard to Control

Bermuda grass, sometimes
called wire grass, is a spread
ing perennial that can be recog-
nized by runners which may
get 8 to 4 feet long. The creep
ing stems are scaly, flattened
and wiry. There is no method
of chemical control that will
not kill the desirable lawn
grasses also. Therefore. hand
pulling or shading is often the
best solution. Spots can be
smothered out by covering dur
ing summer with tarred or
heavy paper. 1t will take about
two months to kill the Ber-
muda grass. For spot treat
ment, chemicals such as dala-
pom, or TEA can be used. but
these will kill desirable grasses
