'iiiis seems evidenced by ;ho fu't that at a time when ir my educational institution lo-; to Washington for aid, Southern South-ern Utah State College has embarked upon a "do it yourself your-self project.". Professor Victor A. Ishoy, chairman of the department of economics informs the National Na-tional Federation of Independent Inde-pendent Business that he has launched a project to bolster the teaching of economics to the more than 1700 students on the campus. The college, liko many far west institutions has been converted into a four-year university type college offering of-fering a wide range of degrees. de-grees. Last year the school was granted a full, unconditional uncondi-tional accreditation. In addition, last year the school dedicated a library with a capacity of 200,000 volumes. But the problem is that of obtaining books, especially espe-cially those on economics. Professor Ishoy believes that his collogues in economics throughout the nation have on hand duplicate, excess, special or author-sponsored books and he is proposing what might be called a "share the books" project. He is currently raising a few hundred dollars necessary to supply volunteer workers with the materials to contact the economic teachers throughout the country asking for their spare books for the college library. Each donor would bo supplied with "Li-bris" "Li-bris" donation labels so proper pro-per credit will be given to each donor. It is expected that undoubtedly undoubt-edly this project coming from the groves of Academ.9 will bo watched with great interest. inter-est. The Federation receives hundreds of comments from independent business complaining com-plaining of rapidly escalating local taxes, largely for education edu-cation purposes. Thus, Professor Ishoy, seeking seek-ing to tap what he feels is a vast reservoir of unused and unnoeded books, may be loading the way toward programs pro-grams that could ease the burden of local taxpayers. |
