On a rainy afternoon in a lo-
cal coffee shop recently a tall,
bearded balladier sat comfortably
and, constantly pushing up his
ever-sliding glasses, spun an al-
most endless tale of experience and
witty speculation.
Ed McCurdyl has been singing
in Ann Arbor's only folk mus-
sic establishment, the Golden
Vanity, for the last two weeks.
He has been singing old, bawdy
and beautiful ballads for the past
18 years and recorded 20 records.;
His most popular ones have been
the sometimes-deceiving "Songs
of Dalliance."
McCurdy has recoraed a total
of six "erotic" records, four of
them in the Dalliance series, and
all of them misinterpreted by
those falsely capitivated by the'

not that music isn't casual enter-

that.''
He spoke of the importance of a i
place where small audiences couldY
assemble, like the Vanity. "After |
all," he said, "folk singers needi
audiences. There are only a few
who can stand to sing for each
other.",
Asked if the audiences were

McCurdy replied, "Folk music has1
no real direction. The people have+
to go in their own directions. The
music follows."
He cited Dylan and his reputa-
tionas the so-called "voice of his
generation" as an example, saying
that he was no more of a voice
and had no more direction than
anyone else.
McCurdy said that there have
been few truly effective voices of{
protest in this country. "A lot of
protest singers just get up and tell
I you what they don't like about this
country and they damn the whole
society because it's not any good.
"Well sure it's no good. We
don't claim to have a perfect so-
ciety and we never will, but if
you're going to yell about it, you
might try to do something about
f it, too. There are a- lot of bad
things about America, but there
are a lot of -good things also, and
like it or not, it's your citizenship
and the hope of the world may
very well lie there."
The bells of Burton Tower
struck the hour and McCurdy
mentioned that he was going to
be late for a concert if he didn't
stop talking.
Enrollment

WASHINGTON-Enrollment In
the nation's colleges and universi-
ties has nearly doubled in the last
15 years and may nearly double
again by 1975.
A record-breaking 4.8 million
students will be in college this
fall, according to United States
Office of Education estimates. In
1949, some 2.5 million students
were enrolled,
This fall's. enrollment repre-
sents an increase of some 300,000
students over last year's total and
is about 600,000 students larger
than 1962's. Estimates of 1975
enrollment run above 8.5 million.
Almost half of the- record-
breaking 2.3 million students who
were graduated from high school
last spring will be entering col-
leges and universities this fall.
Unless teacher loads are sub-
stantially increased, the huge
enrollments will necessitate hir-
ing an additional 18,000 college
teachers this year, the education
office estimates. This would mean
a 5 per cent jump over last year's
college teaching staff of 352,000.

training programs, and adult lit-
eracy -programs. They can also
volunteer to help in local anti-
poverty projects or join the do-
mestic peace corps, VISTA, for a,
year.
Need 600
About 600 people are needed to
teach for one year periods and
serve. as counsellors in the Job
Corps' conservation camps. About
20 camps are scheduled to be open-
ed this fall. Within a year, there
will be about 150 camps for 20,-
000 high school drop-outs and
draft rejects.
Although trained teachers are
preferred, there is no set certifi-
cation or experience requirements
for Job Corps teachers. Salaries
will range upwards from $5000.
Universities will have major re-
sponsibilities in running the Job
Corps' 1000-1500 person education-
al and vocational- training cen-
ters. These centers will grow to
about 20,000, or the same number
of boys as the conservation camps.
Adaptation for Training
The Office of Economic Oppor-
tunity is currently contacting uni-
versities about staffing and de-
veloping curricula for these cen-
ters. The first two or three cen-
ters should be in operation by the
end of the year.
Social scientists in particular
are expected to contribute their
research skills to the-planning and
evaluating of community action
and other programs.
Faculty and administrators will
be serving as both consultants and
staff members on programs. A
number of them have already tak-
en leaves to work on the task forc-
es setting up the various programs.
Federal Aid
Large numbers of students re-
ceiving federal aid under the an-
ti-poverty bill's work-study pro-
gram are expected to be hired by
community organizations engaged
in fighting poverty. .
It is expected also that schools
and departments of education will
play a very large part in develop-
ing methods and materials for the
anti-poverty bill's other remedial
education programs.
It is "entirely possible," accord-
ing to Milton C. Cummings of the
Office of Education, that college
students may be hired as instruc-
tors in adult literacy programs.
Finall'y, up to 5000 volunteers
will be chosen in the next 12
months to serve in VISTA. The
program's backers hope the vol-
unteers' work will create a spirit
of "national involvement" and
spur others to help in their local
anti-poverty programs.
