Page 2 University Daily Kansan Tuesday, Jan. 15, 1952 Daily Kansan Editorials Would-Be Teachers And Their Profession Some of the results of the draft deferment examinations were announced last week by President Henry Chauncey of the Educational Testing service in Princeton, N.J. According to Chauncey, 63 per cent of the 339,000 college students who took the test passed. The scores of students varied with different fields of study, he said. Engineering students led the standings with 68 per cent passing, with physical science and mathematics ranking next with 64 per cent. Education students were at the bottom with only 27 per cent making the grade. The test clearly indicates what fields the bright college students are choosing today. It means that the teaching profession is no longer attracting the most intelligent students. Something needs to be done to remedy this situation before it becomes critical to society. There are plenty of reasons why brighter students, on the whole, are not planning to teach. High salaries of industry beckon today more than ever before. No matter how far the graduate can hope to go in education, there is always more money for him if he takes a job in industry. Some scholars with advanced degrees jump immediately into business positions many flights up the ladder. And we continue to read about men who work their way to the top. Only the social advantages of education stand Moreover, free enterprise has not disappeared to the extent that new endeavors cannot be successful. So hundreds of confident graduates give up their ideas of teaching to go into business on their own. The British are different in their methods of government too. Instead of hiring an expert at $25,000 per year to set up a new bureau to find ways to meet government expenses, Prime Minister Churchill merely cut his own salary. When asked in a poll to name the most important problem facing American college youth today, 34 per cent of the students in one eastern school replied, "Miscellaneous." And the more a person thinks about it the more likely it sounds. up. Some students continue to enter the field because they consider it socially and spiritually gratifying to teach. They have been able to classify themselves in the same group with ministers and, although salary scales are much different, with doctors, who perform a service for their community. With the majority of intelligent students apparently shunning education, this leaves a lower-level group to instruct America's future generation. Whether or not this will affect the scientific and cultural progress of the future remains to be seen. Meanwhile, professors could stand a raise. Jim Powers. A Jayhawker tradition is passing from the scene. No longer will the Daily Kansan feature a Bibler cartoon. At least not for quite a while. So Long For Awhile You see, we've run all of Dick Bibler's work, and some of it we've run twice. As you'll notice, we have subscribed to a service new to KU students. We hope you'll enjoy it as much. Dick's "Little Man On Campus" will be sorely missed. No longer will the trials and tribulations of Worthal amuse students and faculty alike. Bibler, a graduate of KU, was able every time to capture a bit of college life and make us laugh about it. He had the peculiar talent of tickling our literary palates. Bibler is now attending Stanford university. We had some correspondence with him in attempting to obtain new "LMOC's" but his service is temporarily suspended for the Daily Kansan. Many other college newspapers will be able to continue, however, since they didn't get in at the first. We think you will find the successors to the Bibler work equally amusing. From the proofs we saw, Ken Carroll is also able to portray college life in a humorous vein. He isn't known to us yet, but we think you'll find he is just as entertaining. —A.G.M.
