VOLUME 4, NUMBER 19 APRIL 28, 1976 UIIIIVERSITY TO DEDICA TE BROOKEIVS LIBRARY

Sangamon State University will dedicate its first permanent building on campus, the Norris L Brookens Library, in a brief ceremony scheduled for Wednesday, May 19, to be followed by an open house for the general public on Sunday, May 23. The open house is slated to be held between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. at the facility on the main campus. President Robert C. Spencer, who will preside at the dedication ceremony, said a group of state, city and educational leaders and librarians will be on hand for the unveiling of a plaque honoring Brookens, the first chairman of the university's governing board. A physician and civic leader from Urbana, Brookens died in 1969. He helped plan the university but did not live to see it open. The Wednesday afternoon program also will feature the dedication of a fountain on the library site that commemorates the late Charles H. Spaulding, inventor and chemical engineer who served on the staff of the Springfield Water Department. The fountain was designed and constructed through a gift of Mrs. Charles H. Spaulding, the widow who now lives in Urbana. Mrs. Spaulding and members of her family will attend the ceremony as will Mrs. Brookens and her family. The dedication of Sangamon State's first permanent building will come more than 5% years after tile university opened its doors to students in the fail of 1970 in interim quarters. Construction was begun in the summer of 1972. The library also serves as a temporary classroom and faculty office facility. Faculty moved into the building earlier this year. The second permanent building is under construction, the Public Affairs Center which will feature a 2,000 seat auditorium. It is expected to be completed in 1978. The basic goal of public radio is evident in JORDAN HEADS SCHOOL BOARD WSSR's programming.

EXCERPT OF REMARKS BY ROBERT C. SPENCER AT THE DEDICATION OF BROOKENS LIBRARY

'In our concern for literacy we are placing the library in the center of rhirrgs - as a resource for the entire curriculum - for all students - and for a wide variety of learning experiences and modes. It is not simply a retrear for the faculty and the systematic scholar, If our library also serves the quire traditions J function of providing a site for an inexpensive date or social occasion or serves as a book-lined study hall for those who must get away from more distracting setrings, so much the berm. But let's get back to the meaning of literacy. By literac y we mean a grasp of those basic skills which depend more upon the intellect than upon the emotions: the things which equip us for survival in a complex sechnological society which charges its citizens with ultimate choices as to who governs. These are the ability to read, to write simple sentences or a paragraph or two, to carnpute and reckon, to memorize a poem w the spelling of wards, to learn the order in nature, and the beauty and she values in scientific things as well as artistic expression. A t a more advanced level, literacy means the ability to analyze, to argue on paper, to speak persuasively and with reason, and to be familiar with the literature and traditions that make up our scientific, literary, and spiritual heritage. Defined thus, literacy is a big obiigatian and I believe an appropriate one to restore to university life. We do that through the design and demands of the curriculum, by having an educated faculty cornmired to teaching, and by making the library a challenging and exciting world for

discovery, for study, and for reflection. "

The legal studies center concept was earlier proposed by the Board of Higher Education in lieu of a law school for Springfield. The Center for Legal Studies would be identified with three lines of activity: coordination of clinical educational experiences, educational programs, and research projects. In addition to complementing the SSU legal studies programs, the center will assist the law schools at the University of Illinois and Southern Illinois University at Carbondale with third-year clinical programs. The center will be administered by SSU. A graduate from the B.A. program in legal studies would have a full paralegal qualification. The proposed M.A. program in legal studies is a professionally oriented program. The program will serve two types of students: employees of public agencies who feel the need for greater expertise in legal procedures and a particular area of law, and the students who are interested in new professional positions such as court administrator, legislative regarding his membership on the US President's Commission on Campaign Costs (1961-1962) and as chairman of the Illinois Board of Higher Education, Master Plan Committee N (1970-1971). . .JERRY CURL announces that students wishing to take the constitution exam should now contact the learning center in J-140 at least one day before they plan to take the test.
