STAMP BOOK IN HAND WORTH 'TWO-ITION' IN BUSH
Carrying scores of sheets of unused Cnited Slates commemorative stamps, 25-year-old Kichard Hastings, tried to pay his tuition with them last week.
'l he second-year architecture student lias been saving stamps since 1941 and thought this would lie a good time lo make use of them. SC, however, h.as a postage meter machine and does not use stamps so the Bursar’s Office was unable to accept them.
Miss Laura Marye, bursar, and her assistants did find a way to help Hastings. They called several SC employes who they knev; were stamp collectors. Several collectors later Hastings had sold sheets of one, three, and ffrve-cent stamps at face value.
Owing SC $320 in tuition, Hastings had about $275 In stamp* with him. Stamp dealers, whu were well-stocked with the special Issues, offered hliu IU to KU per vent under face value.
Hastings attened SH Palms High School and Orange Coast College. Collectors who want to buy his stamps to help him pay his tuition may call h.im at NO. 5-7264.
Teacher Shortage Threatens Colleges
Unless the available supply of able, competent college
and university teachers ln the United States Is more than doubled in the next 15 year*, higher education may be no changed that lt will be set back for generations to come. Tracy E. Strevey, dean of LAS, sounded this warning
during the sring recess at the
sring recess 12th annual meeting of the American Conference of Academic Deans at the Jefferson Hotel in St. Louis, Mo.
The current 27 million college students in this country will gi*>w to 3 2 million by I960 and 6 4 million by 1970, he said, and may go higher if a larger percentage of the college age group seeks admission lo universities.
hrohlem Staggering
‘ Ihe peisonnel problem confronting us Is staggering," Dean Strevey said "At present we hsve approximately 200,000 college and unuersity teachers based on s ratio of one for very 13-plus students.
Assuming the same ratio, w« will need 26<J.<><JO full-tini* faculty members in 1960; 350,000 in 1965, and 420,000 to 450,000 in 1970.
Public school authorities are well aware of teacher shortages and aie desperately trying to increase the output, but so far colleges and universities have exhibited an alarming apathy," he said.
Attract More feople
The teaching profession should be given a competitive financial position with business and industry so that more talented young people will be attracted to teaching. Stievey said
He suggested that inure persons holding master's degrees 0« used as college teachers, and that retirement of faculty members I*
ers as long as they are able to give satisfactory service,” he said.
Although the doctor of philosophy degree is not a teaching degree in itself and does not necessarily denote teaching ability, it is from the PhD’s that we look for thoae who man our classrooms, Strevey said.
TeaWwr Hetliement Higher
During th* present year, 7600 doctorates will be granted, with 3000 of this number going into business, industry, or government.
This will leave 4600 available for college appointments. At the same aetts time our colleges and universities will retire almost 50(X).
“The picture becomes more foreboding when we realize that by 1970 we will need a minimum of 450,000 trained college teachers to cover replacements and meet expected enrollments, and yet during the same period only about 135,000 doctorates will be awarded,'' Strevey saiid.
He warned that unless we attack this problem now in all our universities and colleges, unless it receives foundation support, unless everybody concerned takes a positive, constructive position, we aie unlikely to find any solution.
The results will mean a lowering ot standards aud a watered-
down education wilti serious consequences tor future leadership, business and industry, and tech-
Boulevard only 10 blocks from SC praised this university as one of the finest institutions of higher learning In the United States.
“Southern California—and other privately endowed universities —present a necessary balance be* tween public and privately supported institutions,'* Stevenson said.
"Independent Institutions like SC must keep their good health, vtiallty, and big endowments." he
oontinued.
Kndowmmte MmM
The “big endowments” part of the statement drew chuckles from many Trojans who recollected the often-heard stories from SC officials and alumni who plead that the school is poor and in dire need of funds.
But Stevenson, sensing he had made a misstatement, quickly corrected himself by saying ”1 was thinking of Princeton."
The former Illinois governor, who is stumping the state in a pre-primary speech making tour brought “greetings” to the university from Terry Brennan, Notre Dams football coach.
“Terry told me to tell you th. he is sorry he ever met you,” SU venson laughingly told the assem bled students, local citizens, and California Democratic Party officials.
SC Is Invaluable
In a more serious mood, Stevenson said that universities like SC provide invaluable services to the people of this country by turning out great scientists and engineers who will keep the free world strong and well-protected from enemy attack.
“But we are still behind the Soviet Union in turning out engineers. This is one of the prime dangers we face today,” he said.
Stevenson went on to say that the Soviet Union, which haa one of the world's great school systems, has only recently been recognized as a country possessing a fine educational system.
“A friend of mine, whose son recently returned spent some time in Moscow attending a Russian school, told me that his boy said Moscow is full of English, French, and German schools thst only permit those languages to he spoken in them," Stevenson stated.
Membership Presented When Joe Cerrell presented him with an honorary membership in the Trojan Democratic Club, Stevenson again sevealed his humorous streak,
“I was made an honorary freshman at the University of Miami recently. They made me wear a small green skull cap," Stevenson quipped.
“Later, when I say myself on the cover of Miami's slumni mag-aane, I felt that the cap oovered my obvious Imperfections quite well,” he laughed.
In another joking story, Stevenson told of a trip he once made to Harvard University in Massachusetts.
Humans Slmnnlied .They told me there that Harvard humanized the sciences Later when I visited the Massachu-Institute of Technology, they told me there that MIT si-monized the humans," he said.
After his speech, Stevenson, flanked by Democratic bigwigs and l»s Angeles County Sheriffs’ detectives, greeted and shook tiie hands of over 400 well-wishing students and interested citizens
