Magsaysay's Death Felt On Campus
There are politicians who are loved by certain classes, but Magsaysay was loved by both pessants and millionaries, Mamitua Saber, Philippine graduate student, told The Daily Kansan Sunday.
Ramon Magasaysay, 40-year-old president of the young republic, died Saturday when his plane crashed on the Island of Cebu.
Maro Santaromana, Philippine graduate student, said, "The loss is so great that the country is suddenly drawn back five years. But we will find as good a man as Mr. Magsavay."
Garcia Takes Over
The Philippines is to elect a new president in November. Mr. Magsaysay, who was strongly favored for the second term, was elected by a landslide vote in 1953 for the four-year term. Carlos P. Garcia, vice president, was sworn in today as the President to serve until the new one is elected.
President Magsaysay, who led a colorful and dramatic life was a guerrilla leader during the Japanese occupation and, after the war, successfully fought against the Hukulahap, the communist-oriented guerrilla that infested the young nation.
Edwin O. Stene, professor of political science, said, "His death is serious in many ways. I don't think they can manage to find a better man. He was the man of the people and nobody can replace him."
Prof. Stene was in the Philippines in 1955 assisting the administration and teaching at the University of Manila.
Planning Might Slow Down Clifford P. Ketzel, assistant professor of political science, said,
"The United States lost a very good friend in that country. The Philippines was rapidly progressing under his guidance. The social and economic planning might slow down now."
England Has Teacher Shortage Too, Briton Says
With a shortage of high school and college teachers and an increasing demand for math and science teachers, Great Britain faces the same educational problems as the United States, Sir Ronald Adam, president of the British Council, said in a speech Friday in Bailey Hall.

St. Pat's Party Held For Children
Twenty children were entertained at a St. Patrick's Day party Saturday given by the Speech Correction Clinic with the cooperation of Sigma Alpha Eta, speech correction fraternity.
Skits were presented by the children. According to Miss Margaret Byrne, assistant professor of speech and drama and director of the clinic, "This was done to encourage more talking among the children."
The Speech Correction Clinic is concerned with speech impediments in both children and adults. Parties like the one held Saturday are given to encourage friendship and relaxation among the group.
month lecture tour of the United States, sponsored by International Institute of Education.
"The shortage of teachers for the secondary school movement lies in the increased birth rate." Sir Ronald said. "In 1938 there were 720,000 children born in Great Britain and over a million in 1947. New there are probably 900,000 children born annually."
He said Great Britain was working toward an educational program which would require three years of college training for all teachers, an eventual degree, and a rise in salary.
"This will produce more mature and better qualified teachers," Sir Ronald said.
In the British program, a person is required to attend only two years at a teacher training college in order to receive his teaching certificate.

The Polish uprisings against Russian rule were not a revolt against material hardships, Gotthold Rhode, professor of East European history at Gutenberg University, said in an interview Friday.
"Materially, the Polish people are better off today than they were several years ago under the Polish Republic," Prof. Rhode said. "But the traditions and culture of the Poles are in direct opposition to Russian rule.
"The feeling of being linked with the West is stronger in Poland than in any other East European country. The Poles are linked to the West by tradition, culture and through the Roman Catholic Church."
Prof. Rhode said the Poles have the tradition of being the ruling nation of eastern Europe and resent the idea of Russia taking over this area.
Poles Formerly Rulers
"Polish students especially have a very strong tradition of being revolutionaries. The most independent newspaper in Poland is published by students."
"Actually the Poles have more of a feeling of indifference for the Russians than a feeling of hatred. The Poles have traditionally felt that the Russians are a little poorer class of men."
Hopelessness In East Germany
"There are two reasons for thinking East Germany will not try to throw off Russian rule," he said. "The first is the feeling of hopelessness of such action due to the heavy concentration of Soviet troops in East Germany. The second is that the East German people are better off materially than the Poles and they continue to look to West Germany for help."
"The West German people seem to have been inoculated against Communism," he said. "Russian propaganda just doesn't seem to affect them."
