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

sends the community into a great
uproar.
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.

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.

CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI)
The Navy has made its second
