Nebraska's public schools could be
staffed in the future by poorly trained
and underpaid teachers who are spread
too thinly in classes that are too large,
says Ron Joekel, associate dean of Tea
chers College.
UNL and other schools are not pro
ducing enough teachers to keep up with
the need, Joekel said. Public schools
may be forced to "take anybody that's
warm and available" until colleges can
meet the teacher demand, he said.
Teacher shortages are in some areas
of the state now, and it is no secret that
there is a current shortage in the math
and science areas, he said.
"Our concern is there is a lack of
qualified teachers to fill vacancies in the
state," he said. The state also is experienc
ing a shortage of industrial arts, speech
pathology and special education teachers.
Disturbing national figures, he said,
are mirrored in Nebraska:
- Fewer than half the qualified science
education graduates enter teaching. They
often are siphoned off by business and
industry.
Among college students, the dropout
rate of prospective math and science
teachers is five times greater than that
of students in other academic fields.
- More than half the present math
and science teachers are not qualified
or are teaching on emergency certifi
cates. "When there aren't trained teachers,
school districts hire teachers that aren't
qualified. That hurts the student," he
said.
In all teaching fields, there were
314,000 graduates in 1971. In 1980,
there were only 159,000 graduates, and
43 states reported teacher shortages
despite declining enrollments.
In the 1970-71 school year, 1,085
Teachers College graduates with bachelor's
degrees received teaching certificates. In
1981-82, the total declined 53 percent,
to 507 new certificates granted.
Wayne State College President Ed
Elliot is concerned about what he sees
as a "hurricane" building problem be
cause of a teacher shortage. He has begun
a personal crusade with other northeast
Nebraska educators to do something
about it before it is too late, he said.

CBA news featured
in Probe magazine
The UNL College of Business Administration publica
tion, Probe magazine, is now available to anyone in
terested in seeing a copy.
Probe is produced entirely by students and comes
out once each semester.
Carl Sjulin, present editor of the Probe, said that the
magazine has a circulation of more than 6,000.
Approximately 3,200 issues of the publication are
mailed to CBA alumni. More than 700 issues are sent
to corporation presidents in the state, and about 2,500
stay within the college.
Sjulin said that the magazine is funded primarily by
its advertisements and operates on a $5,000 budget.
Sjulin said that each issue of the magazine tries to
feature at least one successful alumnus, one club from
the CBA and information on a research project going on
within the college.
Sjulin added that this is Volume 10 of the publication,
which was started in 1977.
Applications are now being taken in the Dean's Office,
CBA 240, for next semester's staff. There are no restric
tions on applicants.
