In response to a question asked by the Bulletin, Mrs. Bleau said she did not have any particular philosophy of teaching. Her husband, Edward R. Bleau, who is assistant professor of economics at Elizabethtown College, was asked why his wife was ‘““such a good teacher.”’ Bleau stated that he has seen her teach, and was impressed with what he saw. He said that a female student of Mrs. Bleau’s at Capitol Campus said that Mrs. Bleau was ‘‘the most feminine professor she had ever seen. The average female professor attempts to be masculine in her ap- proach.” Bleau said of his wife’s teaching, ‘‘She’s very lady- like. It’s that quality that typifies her teaching.” In other business: Council exonerated two persons from per capita tax; issued 9 building permits; hired two part-time policemen; Jay Roberts and Ken Barringer and one special policeman, Robert Homsher.
