Author returns with book rehash By MARGE LANGENES Emerald Staff Writer Grace Metalious, flying on the success of her first novel, Peyton Place, trys to soar upward again with Return to Peyton Place, (Julian Messner, Inc., New York; 256 pp.; $3.95) and despite a wing and a prayer, (which the books seemingly was written on) crashes. USING THE AXIOM, "If it worked once, it’ll work twice,” Author Metalious introduces the same characters in the same place (Peyton Place), doing approxi mately the same things. On page eight, the author brings in one of her now-famous bedroom scenes in a flashback, to tell the reader that there is more to come, and not to get bored yet. Then she moves into the story which re volves mostly around Allison MacKenzie, the girl author who writes the “Great American Novel,” about (strangely enough) Peyton Place, which of course Campus Briefs • Bridge instruction for beginning and advance students, tonight at 7 p.m. in the SU. • All Young Republicans are urged to attend tonight s meeting which is sched uled for 6 :00 in the SU.

THE UPROAR of the commun ity is good for a few chapters, but that must be abandoned to move on to more exciting things, namely, another bedroom scene with Allison and Lewis Jackman, who as it happens is her publish er. However, Peyton Place isn't left entirely until all the old characters have appeared, includ ing Norman Page, who is still un der the thumb of his mother, and Lucas Cross, who, although he was murdered in the first book, seems to have a ghost which haunts his step-daughter Selna; and by manipulating Allison back for periodic visits with her par ents, close watch is kept on all the Peyton Place characters. AFTER ALLISON’S novel is sold, and she is happily in love and in bed with Lewis Jackman, Author Metalious starts on what might have been a critical look at the price of success, but so much time is spent in revealing the secret lives and thoughts of all the old friends from the first book that the idea dies quickly. The book lacks the writing which helped somewhat to hold its predecessor together, and at times reads like a high school freshman's comp theme: "His voice had brought her back to the reality of Peyton Place. In her thoughts she had been worlds away. Only daydreams now could protect her from the horrors of memory.” THE LONG AND SHORT of it seems to be that the people in Peyton Place are still up to their old tricks. Perhaps if they con tinue to be, Author Metalious will bring her readers back for sm other look.

(Continued from page 1) would be the last chance for any changes before the avalanche of students in 1960. Lindholm went on to stress an area known as the science of business management as another factor. He said the final factor dealt 'With current developments and advances that were changing certain require ments in business areas. THE REASONS for the impact of the two books, Lindholm re ported were based on recent de velopments and trends. Lind holm then went into some of the findings expressed in the books, emphasizing these were not the sole findings. “Specialization has been running riot in American Business schools,” Lindholm re ported as his first finding. He went on to say that while business demanded certain spec ialists, it was also making a great demand for people with broader educations. Lindholm said the findings included views on ac counting work, integrated cours es, the approach of some econo mic courses, the level of produc tion and statistical courses, and the level of text books. CONCERNING a further find i n g , Lindholm announced, "A long lag exists between the best business practice and the mater ial offered in the run-of-the-mine business school.” The books he said went on to report inadequate research, the lack of quality in doctoral programs, overloads in teaching, and the fact that stu dents cannot expect to hold a re sponsible position until ten years after graduation. “Another finding of the books,” is the fact business schools are dealing with a subject which to a considerable extent is diffuse and formless." Lack of initiating ex periments, sub-college level speech courses, lack of useful math courses, and inexperienced instructors in liberal arts for bus iness students were other find ings brought out. “STUDIES SHOW business students select snap courses when selecting electives outside the field of business,” Lindholm re ported. He also emphasized that the reports in the books showed a need for business teachers with a primary background in mathe matics and science. In another area of business education, Lind holm said, “The books indicate the worst business administration education is offered in the liberal arts college. From here, Lindholm went into the recommendations offered by the reports. “Business," he said, “is best taken as graduate pro fessional work preferably after a science or engineering degree and several years of employment experience.” Established aims, sufficient research, adequate background in math and com munications, and discontinuation of survey courses in behavioral sciences were offered as further recommendations. “Here,” Lind holm said, “ends my review of the books.” LINDHOLM ENDED with some of his own personal recom mendations. He emphasized the need for adeptness in both writ ten and spoken English and backed the reports in the desire for a better mathematics back ground. Lindholm said he felt the budget policy should break free of the basis of teaching hours and should instead be based on the student credits. “One big development that is going to change our education is to spend a great deal of time in preparing teaching materials and evaluating teaching materials,” Lindholm concluded.
