"The beauty of the field of library science,” Dr. Stieg said, “is that there is a place for all types of personalities.”
Placing Easy
Dr. Stieg said that the speciali-i zation of various library science I fields, such as public relations I and administration, allow for the | placing of any type of personality, j If a person tends toward the introverted side, he can go into biography work. If he is an extrovert, his field may be research, he said.
Dr. Stieg said there is a great demand for graduates of library science. “The demand far exceeds the supply. SC graduates around 50 students each year and receives applications for around j 500.”
Year’s Work
The librarian with a science background can almost write his own ticket, according to Dr. Stieg. He said the average pay of a starting librarian is around $3300 a year, with the normal range of §4000 to S7500. A handful of positions pay around $10,000 to 512,000.
Dr. Stieg said that to enter the school of library science, a student must have an A.B. degree, (Continued on Page 4)
Olson Reports Lack Of Teachers to Lack Of Listeners (12)
Myron S. Olson, professor of education, reported a “terrible” shortage of teachers and prospective teachers yesterday at an LAS professional advisement series talk yesterday.
There was also a shortage of listeners—12.
Prof. Olson pointed to advantages in vacations, pay and job opportunities afforded teachers and puzzled at the lack of aspirants.
“Teachers have the thrill of working with people Instead of things. They get vacations at Christmas and Easter, and have summers and weekends off, he said.
Drawbacks Gone
In the past, teachers were not paid as well as in other professions, and the general feeling was that they couldn’t act like human begins, Prof. Olson said, but these drawbacks have t>een greatly eliminated.
“As an example, today Bakersfield is paying $3400 to $3600 just to start ’em without any experience,” he said.
"Teachers can almost name the place they want to work,’ he said, and they can switch to almost anywhere, including foreign coun-tires.”
“Santa Barbara has stacks of applications waiting for teacher assignments, but this is the ex ception. Throughout the country there remains an extreme shortage.”
Qualifications of a good teacher are a pleasing personality, emotional stability, a desire to work with children, and good schol-ship in some areas at least, he said.
“Most of the jobs today are in the elementary schools, though there are shortages in the secondary schools too. This is a result of an increased birth rate,” he explained. “This influx is beginning to show now in the junior and senior high schools and can become critical in the future.” Coaches and social science teachers are plentiful, but math and physical science teachers are in great demand. Girls’ physical education teachers are scarce,
said Olson.
750 Students Pledge Blood In SC Drive

California, SC Open Model UN With Hassle * * * * * * * Russia Says U.S. Wants War
by Jim Ivanoff Special to the Daily Trojan
BERKELEY, Apr. 16—University of California’s “Russians” launched an a*ggressive peace offensive at the Model United Nations here today, and accused SC’s “American” delegation of planning for World War III.
The initial session of the General Assembly was opened this morning by David Wainhouse, senior adviser to the United States delegation to the UN General Assembly. The United States and Russia tangled almost immediately.
Plan For Peace Delegates from the rival countries heard President Eisenhower’S foreign-policy address on portable radios during the session. The U.S. delegates said they plan to follow the president’s challenge to Russia’s new leaders to prove they want peace by ending the Korean war and joining the allies in a bold new attempt to wipe out “poverty and need.” Dan Sharp, chairman of Cal’s Russian delegation, said that Cal, as Russia, has no complaints about its assignment.
“We can control the mood of the conference and the direction in which the discussions will go,” he said.
Members of the Canada and
Haiti delegations, represented by Clark and Chaffey colleges, respectively, plan to introduce a resolution to establish a coordinating office for> regional organizations. The office is to be under the Security Council’s authority.
Under Veto Power This resolution would place such organizations as NATO indirectly under the power of Russian veto. There is no doubt that the proposal, although presented by the “western bloc” members, will be opposed by the SC group, as well as other delegations.
Delegates are looking forward to the Model UN award banquet, Saturday evening. Speaker at the dinner will be Nawab Ali Yawar Jung, Indian representative to the 15th session of the Economic and Social council.
Jung has also a distinguished record of government service. In addition to his position as Economic and Social council representative for India, he is the Indian ambassador to Argentina and vice-chancellor of the University of Hyderabad, India.
Trophies Awarded Saturday’s banquet will be held in Fernwald hall on campus. Awarding of trophies to schools for top performances during the conference will highlight the event. An opening prayer by
Laurance L. Gross, mayor of Berkeley, and entertainment by the University of California Glee club, is included in the program. Peter Odegard, chairman of the Berkeley political science department, will be master of ceremonies.
Atmosphere on the Berkeley campus is very reminiscent of last year’s sessions at SC. Delegates are working hard They walk briskly from the registration desk to the library. Small groups of people with Model UN badges can be seen congregating in secluded spots holding caucuses and establishing unofficial contacts with delegates from other countries.
Well Organized
Despite the outward air of confusion evident In all big operations of this kind, the conference here shows a well organized, efficient approach to problems which are presented by college conventions.
Small details are well managed, and registrants go through the registration red-tape with a minimum of effort. Mrs. Joyce Kall-gren, conference director, has her share of troubles, but so far has coped with all the problems that have come her way.

The U.S. delegates said they plan to follow the president’s challenge to Russia’s new leaders to prove they want peace by ending the Korean war and joining the allies in a bold new attempt to wipe out “poverty and need.” Dan Sharp, chairman of Cal’s Russian delegation, said that Cal, as Russia, has no complaints about its assignment. “We can control the mood of the conference and the direction in which the discussions will go,” he said. Members of the Canada and Haiti delegations, represented by Clark and Chaffey colleges, respectively, plan to introduce a resolution to establish a coordinating office for> regional organizations. The office is to be under the Security Council’s authority. Under Veto Power This resolution would place such organizations as NATO indirectly under the power of Russian veto. There is no doubt that the proposal, although presented by the “western bloc” members, will be opposed by the SC group, as well as other delegations. Delegates are looking forward to the Model UN award banquet, Saturday evening. Speaker at the dinner will be Nawab Ali Yawar Jung, Indian representative to the 15th session of the Economic and Social council. Jung has also a distinguished record of government service. In addition to his position as Economic and Social council representative for India, he is the Indian ambassador to Argentina and vice-chancellor of the University of Hyderabad, India. Trophies Awarded Saturday’s banquet will be held in Fernwald hall on campus. Awarding of trophies to schools for top performances during the conference will highlight the event. An opening prayer by Laurance L. Gross, mayor of Berkeley, and entertainment by the University of California Glee club, is included in the program. Peter Odegard, chairman of the Berkeley political science department, will be master of ceremonies. Atmosphere on the Berkeley campus is very reminiscent of last year’s sessions at SC. Delegates are working hard They walk briskly from the registration desk to the library. Small groups of people with Model UN badges can be seen congregating in secluded spots holding caucuses and establishing unofficial contacts with delegates from other countries. Well Organized Despite the outward air of confusion evident In all big operations of this kind, the conference here shows a well organized, efficient approach to problems which are presented by college conventions. Small details are well managed, and registrants go through the registration red-tape with a minimum of effort. Mrs. Joyce Kall-gren, conference director, has her share of troubles, but so far has coped with all the problems that have come her way. BONNIE COX JUNE HARPER |
