Balfour attends Berkeley talks
By AUDREY SHALINSKY Journalism Camp Reporter
William J. Balfour, dean of student affairs, recently returned from the five-day "Conference on Innovations for Student Development" held at the University of California at Berkeley.
The conference was sponsored by the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators and the Center for Research and Development in Higher Education of the University of California. The purpose of the conference was to discuss new ideas that might be tried on campuses, Balfour said. About 85 people attended the conference.
REPRESENTATIVES f r o m large universities talked to officials from East Tennessee University, a school that has doubled in enrollment in the last five years. Balfour's group studied the problems the school faced and proposed a university planning committee be set up to be composed of students and faculty.
The remainder of the conference was spent discussing individual problems of the schools represented. The conference took place from June 30 to July 4.
While in Berkeley, Balfour witnessed riots in the area of the university. The demonstrations wanted Telegraph Ave., a main street into the campus, blocked off so a political rally could be held there, Balfour said.
OVER 1,000 demonstrators attended a meeting of the city council which refused to grant permission for the street to be blocked. A strict curfew was in effect, some windows were broken and the police were charged with brutality, Balfour said. He listened to one rally in which the demonstrators were deciding their next act.
"The rally was orderly but after two hours they were still trying to come up with a plan. So many people wanted to talk for so long a time that nothing could be accomplished." Balfour said.
The city council allowed the street to be blocked off and a peaceful rally was held on July 4, Balfour said.

OOPS!
ST. LOUIS — (UPI)— The U.S. weather bureau will find it hard to live down the day Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey came to town to dedicate the Gateway Arch, 630-foot high national monument. The forecast was "cloudy but dry."
Instead, heavy rain delayed ceremonies which eventually had to be moved indoors. Some events were canceled and Humphrey ducked in and out of the rain all the time he was in town.

Natural History Museum holds workshop
People have to start getting interested in whether they want their woodlands and fields resembling garbage dumps and cesspools or rather than nature's home as they should.
This is why summer workshops for young people at the Museum of Natural History have been established. It is hoped that by teaching children at an early age about the beauties and benefits of nature, they will be less inclined to help ruin them when they are older. In these workshops they also hope to instill an interest in conservation or some branch as a career.
Edward Judd and Dwayne Chanay are the instructors for the three sessions that will meet Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to noon. Each session has been limited to 12 students. The dates of the sessions are July 8-19. July 2-Aug.2. and Aug. 5-16.
THE FIRST day the students, who range from fourth to sixth grades, will study the basic principles of ecology and how animals get along with one another.
An aquatic environment will be studied by a trip to Potter's Lake to study its plant and animal life. An aquaria will then be set up in the laboratory for further observations of the creatures that live underwater through microscopes.
The class will take a trip through the Washington Creek area to record the diversity of size and number of plants in a forest environment. They will also make a study of woodland animals with emphasis on their importance in the community of life.
TWO DAYS will be spent in field trips to a farm pond to study the plant and animal life and how they relate to one another.
Specimens and museum exhibits will be used on the eighth day to show how various kinds of animals are adapted to their environments.
Animal anatomy will be studied by the dissection and comparison of the structural organization of a fish, frog, lizard, snake, bird and mammal, with a view
