D. Aims and Needs

These were discussed at considerable length in my report last year and for the most part are still applicable. Rather than repeat all of this information I will simply refer you to last year’s report for details. However, I do want to emphasize a few of our most urgent needs.

1. Staff additions.As I indicated last year increased demands on teaching, research

and expansion of the graduate program would require an addition of a minimum of four staff members during the next five years. One addition has been made to next year’s staff. One more should be added each year for the next several years in order to keep up with our expanding program.

2. Additional Graduate Assistants.We are extremely low in the number of graduate teaching

assistants needed to lighten the ever increasing loads of the staff. We presently have four in Botany and should have at least four times that number, I requested four additional ones for the year 1 9 6 5 = 6 6 but none was granted.

3- Salary increases.

Part of the critical situation pointed out last year was alleviated by the promotion of three of the staff members referred to earlier. However, there is still an urgent need for salary increases for others. The most urgent case is that of Dr. Behan, who has been with us for four years and yet his salary will be $100 less than that of the newly appointed staff member who has had no previous experience on a full-time basis. This situation is deplorable and to my estimation unjustifiable and grossly inequitable.

U. Increase in Library budget.

Our library allocations over the years have been extremely low and inadequate. This, I believe, probably holds fairly true for a number of departments and schools and especially for thos^who have not had any outside means of supplementing the University allocations. With the initiation of the Ph.D. program these needs are even more urgent than previously. In a recent report to Dr. Thompson I indicated that an initial expenditure of $10,000 over a several -year period would be needed to bring our holdings up to a respectable level. I would like to urge that this be given especial attention in your future budgets.

5. Increases in budgets for supplies, and capital equipment have been requested and justifications for them have been submitted many times. Some special equipment will be needed immediately to set up the program in Paleobotany.

6. Employment of an additional secretary and a technician also have been requested.

7. Full-time caretaker for greenhouse & experimental garden.This is one of our most urgent needs. A well-trained caretaker

for plants is just as important in our program as an animal caretaker is for the areas in which animals are used. As a matter of fact because of the difference in the nature of plants and animals it is much more important to have a well-trained individual for taking care of plants than for animals. In the past, the employment of part-time student help has proved to be not only very unsatisfactory but extremely costly.

We have been able to obtain a wTell-trained person on a part-time basis for next year but we will be unable to retain him permanently unless this can be made a full-time position. In a number of botany departments with which I have had close contacts such a position has proved to be invaluable. Therefore, I hope that a budget for such a position can be set up for 1 9 6 6 - 6 7 on a permanent full-time basis.

?G>

8 . Proper space facilities.

Inadequate space facilities have been a cause of a great deal of inefficiency and has made it impossible to do some of the things we should be doing both in teaching and research. During the past several years we have made some shifts in the use of the present space with some improvement in operational efficiency. A certain amount of renovation which should not be too costly would greatly improve the situation. Certainly when considerable amounts are being spent on administrative facilities, which were already better than our teaching facilities, there should be a small amount available for the latter.

Another area in which we are very deficient is greenhouse space. This has been mentioned many times but I am not aware of any plans for allocations for correcting this situation.

Department Needs

In the interim period until badly needed new building space is available for the Department of Chemistry, a number of renovations are needed in the present building. Most of these have been formally requested through the Physical Plant and it is hoped that funds will be available to see their completion this summer of 1965. These include: (1) modifi­cation of rooms to provide more faculty offices, (2) installation of laboratory fume hoods (3) building cf new laboratory benches and equipment lockers (4) provision of other laboratory facilities.

Efforts are in progress to obtain certain expensive analytical instru­ments through grants to the Department from the National Science Foundation. It is hoped that some money can be provided by the State in providing matching funds for future grants. In the past several such instruments have been obtained using mainly Department monies from several sources as matching funds. However, these are not large enough funds to provide for some needed instruments.

DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH

Professor Warren Carrier, Chairman

ADMINISTRATION General Statement

The department is pleased to report that it has had a busy, har­monious, and productive year, and that it enjoyed sound and helpful relations with the Dean of the College of Arts § Sciences, and the President and Academic Vice President of the University.

Critical NeedsAs we plan both our undergraduate and graduate work in English,

we face two areas of critical needs.(1) Library resources: The present allocation of $2000 to the

English Department for the purchase of books is entirely inadequate. It is not possible to maintain our present un­satisfactory standing, let alone build toward a responsible collection, on that amount of money. As a minimum start, the library budget needs to be doubled,

(2) Staff: In the area of staff we need to add personnel of research caliber in the fields of the Renaissance, the 19th Century, and American Literature, In view of the severely increasing competition for good faculty, this will be a crucial problem.

A, Personnel1. Warren Carrier served as chairman during the academic year

1964-65.2. Visiting staff:

a. Dr. Arthur H» Nethercot served as Visiting Professor in English in place of Dr. Leslie Fiedler who was on leave of absence.

- 2 -

b. Dr. Edwin S. Leonard served as Visiting Professor in place of Dr. Seymour Betsky who resigned in the spring, 1964.

3. Resignations:

a. Dr. Nan Carpenter, Professor, resigned in August to accept a position at Southern Illinois University,

b. After twenty-four years of service at Montana State University, Dr. Leslie A. Fiedler, Professor, resigned in February to accept a position at the State University of New York at Buffalo.

c» Mr. James Antonich, instructor, resigned to undertake studies in Yugoslavia.

d, Mrs. Phyllis Harris, instructor, resigned.

4. Mr. David Smith, J.D. from the University of Chicago, was appointedinstructor to replace Dr, Nan Carpenter.

5. Professor John Moore became ill during the latter part of theWinter Quarter and was unable to teach during the Spring Quarter.His classes were taken over by other members of the department.

6. Promotions:

The following promotions in rank were made for the academic year1965-66,

a. From Associate Professor to Professor: Dr. Jesse Bier, Dr.Merrel Clubb, Dr, Jacob Vinocur.

b. From instructor to Assistant Professor: Mr. John Herrmann,Mr. Dexter Roberts (contingent upon completion of the Ph.D. degree), Mr. David Smith (contingent upon completion of the Ph.D. degree), Dr. W. Ross Winterowd.

c. From Visiting Lecturer to Assistant Professor: Mr. Richard Hugo.

7. Leaves of Absence:

a. Dr. Jesse Bier was granted a leave of absence for the academic year 1965-66 in order to accept a visiting lectureship at Bucknell University.

b. Dr. Jacob Vinocur was granted a leave of absence for the year 1965->66 to accept an internship granted by the Ellis Phillip Foundation for Administrative Leadership,

II. CURRICULUM

A number of major changes were instituted in the English Department curriculum for 1965-66.

A. Composition: After extensive research and planning, the departmentproposed substantial changes in the English Composition requirements.1. English 001. Following a decided national trend, the department

proposed that remedial English be put on a self-supporting basis. The university administration and the Board of Regents accepted the recommendation that English 001, Preparatory Composition, be placed in the Extension Division, and that the English Department supervise planning and staffing. The result will be a significant saving in professional time and budget.

2. As a new approach to Composition, the department proposed the following university-wide composition requirement:

English 150: Required of every student in his freshman year.English 250; Required of every student in either his sophomore

or his junior year,English 550: Required of every student in his junior or his

senior year.

The reasons for this new program are varied:

a. The "vertical" sequence will keep the student in touch with Composition during most of his undergraduate career, and the result, hopefully, will be a higher level of literacy among University of Montana graduates,

b. Because instructors in English 250 and English 350 will be dealing with relatively more mature students, the courses will be more vigorous and meaningful.

c. The "vertical" sequence takes advantage of attrition and hence will involve about one-third fewer contact hours with students than did the "horizontal" sequence.

to 6,

4-

The English Department approved the new composition sequence, andsubsequently both the Curriculum Committee and the Faculty Senateapproved it. It will take effect in Fall Quarter of 1965,

B, Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing,

The department proposed and received approval for a new master's degree in creative writing. Two new courses were added at the graduate level, English 510, FICTION WORKSHOP and English 511,POETRY WORKSHOP, Severl undergraduate courses were revised and renumbered to support the creative writing program,

C, A Master of Arts in Teaching in English was considered but the department deciddd to postpone proposing the degree until the difficulties between the sciences and the School of Education with respect to the MAT, MST program are resolved. In the event that courses in education are to be required for the MAT degree, the department will probably propose another kind of terminal, non­thesis degree for teachers. It will be an exclusively subject matter degree, with education courses to be taken at the optionof the candidate,

D, The Ph.D. Degree, Throughout the year the departmental Graduate Committee studied the possibility of offering a Ph.D. in English.A preliminary and tentative program was drawn, defining the nature and structure of the degree. The Committee decided to postpone proposing a doctoral program in English until library and staff resources are adequate, or are adequately and specifically budgeted,

E, Undergraduate Curriculum Changes. A number of changes in under­graduate curricula, Schedules A (Literature), B (Creative Writing),C (Teaching), were adopted to respond to needs for strengthening and for clarification. The required senior paper was dropped; a senior level course in composition was added.

III. ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES

A. The English Department sponsored (with extra financial assistance from the Public Lecture Committee, the President's Office, and the Dean's Office) a special conference, "The Pacific Northwest Poetry and Painting Conference," in January, The guest speakers were William Stafford, David Wagoner, Kenneth 0. Hanson, Richard Hugo, and Carl Morris.

B, The poet, John Logan, was brought in as a consultant for classes in writing and for a poetry reading in May.

She number of students enrolled in Foreign Languages at the beginning of Autumn Quarter, 1964# was 1,650 (1,393 in lower division, and 257 in upper division). Of these 535 were in French (464 lower division} 71 upper division), 510 in Spanish {423 LD} 8j UD), 342 in German (323 LD} 19 UD), 93 in Classical Languages (06 LD} 7 UD), 102 in Russian (97 LD} 5 UD),61 in Classical Jfcrthology, an:". 7 in Methods of Teaching a Foreign Language. The gross figure for 1963 m s 1,546 (1,397 in lower division, and 149 in upper division).

For June of 19̂ 5, 27 majors (13 French, 9 Spanish, 3 German, 2 Latin) are reported eligible for the B. A. degree, as opposed to 17 for last year.In the Spring Quarter of this year, 29 students are ;nrolled in Foreign Languages 391, Methods of' Teaching a Foreign Language, which is reouired of majors and minors who intend to teach.

The size of the staff m s 19 full-time, 1 one-third time, and 3 graduate assistants.

This year saw the continuation of a major curriculum change initiated 1:: st year to bring training in Foreign Languages at this institution up-to-date and consonant with practices in the better-known institutions around the country. Prospective majors and minors, and other students interested in audiolingual approach to foreign languages, will have completed a three- quarter sequence at the second-year level by the end of the current cademic year. Shis comes pretty close to being an honors program, since only the highly motivated students compete successfully in the class.

In the Autumn Quarter of 1963 these students will have an opportunity to continue simultaneously the study of literature in the foreign language, and a new sequence of advanced language instruction consisting of 301, Comparative Linguistics} 302, Conversation and Composition} and 303, Com­parative Cultures.

Further, in the Autumn Quarter of 1965# incoming Freshmen who have taken a foreign language in high school will no longer undergo a placement examina­tion. Rather, they will be enrolled automatically according to an arbitrary ratio of high school to college language instruction. This is likely to be a more effective and realistic arrangement for three reasons: the placementexaminations in foreign languages which we now have available to us at Mon­tane State University acre obsolete, placement examinations are valid only for persons who honestly attaint to measure their proficiency, there needs to be a better sense of continuity in foreign language instruction between the high school end the institutions of higher learning.
