Tfrursdoy, July 21, 1955 Opportunity . . . Teachers 'Unaware' Of Placement Plan By ROGER WAIT Editor's note: This week's -'Opportunity" feature is concerned with a relatively unknown service available on the University cam pas. The seventh and final article in this series will concern the Uni versity as "opportunity" for the graduate, "Apparently we have people here in the Summer Session who are unaware of the Teacher Placement D.vision or who do not care to use its services. That declaration was made by Division Co-ordinator Wesley Meierhenry in a Summer . Nebras kan interview Monday. There is a current "shortage of qualified teachers," he added. Meierhenry urged Teachers Col lege students , who have not yet registered with the Division to do sc immediately." He said that the orJy requirements for registration are 15 credit hours on record and recommendations of three faculty members from any college in the University. Between eight and ten school superintendents a day come in to get teachers, he said, with between 25 and 30 openings a day. This service includes solicitation teaching vacancies from all over the nation, its. territories and some foreign countries. An up-to-date set of credentials is maintained for each registrant, which Meier henry said, which provides per sonal Sata, educational background ratings of faculty members and comments' from administrators. Approximately 1,000 persons are registered at any one tirce, Meier henry said. Of these between 300 and 400 are seniors in Teachers College, he added. The rest are t'sose who are seeking changes of position, Meierhenry said. I "It is difficult to tell at this t'mfr," Meirhenry said, "but in Ne braska we are short several hun- j dred secondary teachers. Re-1 garding the elementary school situ- ation, he said, we are not quite short. He attributed this to past pub-jh declared, and "a need to get licity of the elementary teacher 1 more college people into teaching " First Showing Union Display Shows Art, Worlc Of . LePell . A new exhibit of paintings and , best artist in this area of the coun- diawings by Corban LePell, Uni versity student in art, is now on display in the Union Main Lounge. This is LePeU's first one-man show-ing.- LePeli's paintings and drawings are abstract. The themes seem to be an expression of an imer com pulsion of Le Pell's to set forth his feelings in artistic mediums. Al most all of them employ somber colors woven in such a way as to convey an impression of mystical concern with modern life's prob lems. Le Pell's favorite painting in the show is ""'Norfolk Air, although he would not give a specific rea son for Lis personal preference. He said that his inspiration comes from progress. ' Painting a paint' ing becomes visually exciting in itself." Ia LePeS's opinion, Thorn as Shef field, assistant professor of art who specializes in ceramics, is the PRINTING Fraternity. Sorority.

X Courtesy Lincoln Journal MIERHEXRY ages, Meierhenry said, are for teachers of home economics, com mercial arts, English, mathemat ics, science and music. Meierhenry listed several reasons for the current teacher shortage. Low salaries, living conditions in smaller towns, the 'lack of good induction procedures which dc not make teachers feel at home" and competition from in- d us try were cited Not enough students are choos ing to make teaching their careers for two reasons, he said. First, he said, the depression has caused a "low point as far as potential college graduates are con cerned." Secondly: Meierhenry said, the "difficulties and draw backs of teaching have been so highly publicized that young people are not aware ot changes", in equ cation There is a need to get "more capable young men into college," try. Sheffield is known as an outstanding sculptor and potter. He has been most influenced in his style, LePell said, by Shef field; Watson BidwelL high-school teacher of his in Wichita, and Bruce Connor, of the University art department. Le Pell's other exhibitions, all in 1954, have been Exhibition Mo- men turn in Chicago, the Midwest Biennial in Omaha, and the an nual San Francisco Watercolor show. He has also participated in several local exhibitions. LePell is employed by the Ne braska Historical Society for the summer.

Martha Sorenson, Arts and Sci ence senior, confused the dates of her coming wedding and com mencement exercises and, finding them to be the same, chose to travel to the altar instead of the graduation platform. The Regents, however, were un derstanding and waived the cus tomary absentee fee and sent along their best wishes to the young bride. Seminar CiffifiUfflfjf Education 8 iSCUSSGu Currently in the formative process at the University is the "Nebraska Community Education Project." A Teachers College workshop seminar is meeting this summer to explore ways of' getting the project under way, said Dale Hayes associate co-ordinator of the proj ect The workshop-seminar meets every afternoon from 1 to 3 p.m. in Room 431, Love Memorial Li brary. This week, the workshop met ith 18 community leaders from Mullen, Neb., Hayes said, to "iden- tify what they feel are the most im perative needs of the community" and to consider '"ways of solving problems" of Mullen. Next week, workshop members will meet with representatives from Sidney for the same purpose. During the course of the project, Hayes said. Teachers College, the state Department ot Public In struction and the Nebraska State Eoucation Association are work ing "co-operatively to provide re sources that might enable each of four selected pilot-center com munities to improve their own community and living therein. Other Nebraska towns participat ing in the project besides Mullen and Sidney are Syracuse and York. It is hoped, Hayes continued, that one of the project's results will be a "research paper which will be a record of the activities and processes that took place so they can be reported publicly. In February 1354, a . four-year investigation proposal was sub mitted to the non-profit Carnegie Corporation of New York City. Called ""The Nebraska Community Education Study," it was proposed in a letter that "the study would' be concerned with the general prob-1 and lay educational leadership and noting the resulting influence on! living standards and values in com-1 rr unity settings." j Subsequently the corporation ap proved a two-year program and ( granted 90,000 to carry out the study.
