'PUBLISH OR PERISH'
Tufts Professor Fired
A Tufts University professor
has been notified that his con-
tract will probably not be renew-
ed because of his failure to pub-
lish scholarly works, according to
a recent article in the "New York
Times."
The matter of rehiring assist-
ant professor of philosophy
Woodrow Wilson Sayre is still
under discussion by the personnel
committee of the faculty of arts
and sciences. Sayre, a grandson
of Woodi'ow Wilson, has been
recommended for reappointment
by the chairman of the philoso-
phy department.
SAYRE WAS notified by let-
ter from Dean Charles E. Stea-
rns that the university was "Sat-
isfied that you have been effec-
tive in the classroom." But, the
Dean continued, "The promise of
scholarly contributions had not
materialized."
The university's action was de-
scribed by Sayre as part of a na- !
tional tendency by college admin- j
istrators "to downgrade teaching !
by judging merit by such super-
Cicial externals as publications, j
articles, grants and fellowships." ;
"PUBLICATION Sayre con-
tinued in the "Times" interview,
"Should not be a criterion for
good teaching. There is no neces-
sary logical connection between
the ability to publish and the
ability to teach."
Sayre, a PhD product of Har-
vard and a member of the Tufts
faculty for sever, years, blasted
the decision as arbitrary and
based on quantity, not quality.
Under prevailing conditions, he
maintained, "Socrates, one of tthe
world's greatest teachers, would
not have- been hired, let alone

Mary Jo Holder
For SA Vice President
Fellow Student:
By way of introduction, my name is Ken Burgess and
I am running' for Treasurer of the Student Association.
I hope you will take the time to read this letter and find
out why I am running.
The position of S.A. Treasurer is not a very glorious
one. The Treasurer is expected to be a brake for the
Student Association, reminding it of its financial limits
and obligations. Pie is expected to keep his eye on the
financial records of the Campanile, the Thresher, and Jan-
us. In short the Treasurer is expected to represent and
call for a sound monetary policy on the part of the Stu-
dent Association and its dependent organizations. This is
the job that I seek, and that I will put my best effort into
if elected.
However, the Treasurer deals with more than dollar
signs and bank accounts. He is also a voting member of
the Student Senate. Earlier this year I wrote a letter to the
editor of the Thresher criticizing student and student gov-
ernment apathy and indecision. I would like a chance to
deal with this problem from the inside, as your repre-
sentative.
Thus I feel I can not only be a dedicated and efficient
Treasurer, but also a working representative for you and
Rice in the Sgpate.
I would appreciate it if you would help me to do my
best for you and Rice, by voting for me for S.A. Treasurer.
Yours very sincerely
Ken Burgess

been given tenure by a college."
A BOOK BY Sayre, now in its
third printing, desci'ibes how he
and three other amateurs climbed
Mount Everest. According to Sa-
yre, the book, 'Four Against
Everest," could be described as a
scholarly contribution, since it
deals witth "the nature of lone-
liness and the nature of friend-
ship."
A similar incident took place
at Boston College when a pro-
fessor of history, Dr. Paul Mi-
chaud, was notified of his release
for failure to publish a scholarly
work in his five years on the
faculty. Critics of the move cal-
led the college's attitude one of
"publish or perish."
PROMOTIONS-

not be used to satisfy both the
Sophomore foreign language
requirements and the Group A
elective.
"(2). A new science major
for prospective teachers, re-
commended by the Teacher
Education Council of the L'ni-
vers.ty and approved by the
Faculty Council, was also given
final passage by the faculty.
It will require at least two
year-courses in each of three
sciences — biology, chemist rv,
and physics — with a concen-
tration in one of the three
that will involve at least tw.i
advanced courses in that par-
ticular science. Like all teach-
er training programs of the
University, it will be admin-
istered by the Teacher Educa-
tion Council; and only students
working toward a -secondary
teaching certificate will be
eligible for enrollment in the
special curriculum. Individual
students will, as is true of
majors in any field, be super-
vised by the department of
their concentration of studies.
All general requirements of the
Bachelor of Arts degree at. Rice
will be met."
