The Chips Stock Up
Much has been written and spoken during the
past year about the value of a complete college
educatibn. Students have been urged time after
time not to leave school until they have received
a degree. Chancellor Boucher and other members
of the university faculty have urged on several oc
casions that undergraduates complete their school
ing. Most students, however, are short-run think
ers. All they are interested in is how much money
they can make today, with little thought as to what
may happen five, ten or even 15 years from now.
As a result many, especially engineers, drop out of
school, accept high salaried jobs and hope that the
future will take care of itself.
And the future at least the very near future
takes very good care of itself, for students who
are draft exempt step into high salaried jobs at
starting salaries which are little short of fabu
lous. Immediate success is so marked that many
wonder if it is worth the chips to stay the four
years and complete the course.
One of the best arguments for remaining in
school is that in later years education will result
in a higher income. The bureau of Labor Statistics
of the United States Department of Labor has col
lected some interesting information for the period
from 1929 to 1934 on the relation of income to edu
cation. "At the lower ages, engineers who have
achieved professional status after a high school ed
ucation enjoy an advantage in earnnig capacity.
At about 28 years of age this initial advantage is
lost. The 1929 average earnings of the graduates
in various classes of engineering ranged from
$2,725 to $3,000 a year, and those of the corre
sponding non-graduate group of engineers from
$2,430 to $2,650."
With advancing age, however, the earnings iu
fayor of the graduates becomes very marked. For
example, five, 20 and 37 years after graduation, the
income of the first degree mechanical and indus
trial engineers exceed by $175, $925 and $1,322. a
year those of the engineers of the same profes
sional class whose college course was incomplete,
and surpassed by $225, $1,160 and $1,815 a year
those of engineers with a non-collegiate technical
education.
. These figures present a good dollar and cent ar
gument for the completion of a college education.
At first the engineer who does not finish school
may find himself making a larger salary than his
brother who finished the four years, but at the end
of five or ten years, the non-graduate often won
ders why he is marking time while his better edu
cated brother gets far ahead of him. What the non
graduate fails to realiie is that the engineer with
the degree possesses the background of engineer
ing principles and theory that he himself will never
be able to receive. Similarly the same principles ap
ply to other fields. Completion of four years of
college education will produce a monetary satisfac
tion well worth the chips of four years behind a
text book.
Morton Margolin.
"There is a lot of sloppy thinking aboufwar, as
something that must be got rid of. But it has been
a part of the defense of liberty. You can't fool eur
students about that. Unless you can distinguish be
tween aggression and defense, then all the Kellogg
pacts in the world will be ineffective. I think it
up to us now to make sure that the world issues we
are confronted with are more clearly seen, not only
by the student bodies but by the world at large. '
Dr. James T. Shotwell of Columbia university urges
that the study of war and its causes be introduced
into the classroom curricula of American colleges.
According to U. S. Figures . .
Nebraska's Income Shows
Steady Gain in Three Years
. . . Hut Still Miort ot 1'oak
Income of Nebraska citizens in
1940 totaled 585 million dollars,
larger than the amount reported
for 1939 and 1938 by 30 and t
million dollars, respectively, ac
cording to the university business
research deparmtent in the college
of business administration.
The figures are from reports of
the U. S. department of commerce.
Although indicating a steady in
crease during the last three years,
the 1940 state income is just equal
to the amount reported for 1937
and is 19 million dollars short of
the 1936 income. According to this
comparison, the people of Ne
braska during the last four years
have not enjoyed an Income com
parable to that of 1936 which was
the rjeak year for Nebraska in
come since 1930.
The present year of 1941 is very
promising, however, according to
O. F. Litterer, university statis
tician. Monthly income payments

faculty.
Theobald wns awarded expenses
for a trip to the International Live
stock exposition which opens in
Chicasro on Nov. 29 and continues
thru Dec. 6. While in Chicago,

been a steady increase c'uring
these seven months. Since Jan. 1,
non-agricultural income has in
creased 10.2 percent while agri
cultural income has increased 15.1
percent. This suggests that a rel
atively larger increase may be ex

state such as Nebraska than in in

Brother Is Like Miss Hcnie.
While Miss Hcnie was dressing
at the close of the revue, Lief
Henie, brother of Sonja who has
been in America for two years,
put in his appearance and
answered a few loutine questions
in his Norwegian-English. He
looks and acts much like his sister.
According to Mr. Henie, Sonja
does not practice at any time dur
ing her three-month tour. She
does all her skating during the
shows. She also helps pick the
costumes and chooses the stage
settings.
