Palo Alto, Calif. (I. P.)—There is no surplus of young engineers, and there isn’t going to be for many years, in fact there is going to be a great shortage. This was the warning given recently by Dr. Hugh H. Skilling, bead of the Sun-ford University electrical engineering department.

Dr. Skilling said that widely heard and erroneous talk that engineering is an over-crowded field is responsible for the situation, which he described as already damaging to the nation and threatening to become a critical problem If engineering students are drafted.

"I have a bit of bad news for those who arc looking forward to employing young engineers; there aren’t going to be enough to go around.” Taking the average size of last June’s graduating class as 100 he pointed out that this year’s class will be only 70, or about 30 percent less. "The following year, 1952, will be 30—down 50 percent. In 1953, the number will be only 40, actually 60 percent-off.

"These are not guesses; these are facts. There arc the boys now in college, all over the country. Nothing whatever can increase their numbers, for engineering is a four-year course. Those boys who have not now started on an engineering program simply cannot be graduated by 1953, or by 1954 either. These classes cannot get bigger, but they can get smaller. If engineering students are taken in the draft, for instance, anything could happen.”

Last Friday night the college Faculty met in the cafeteria for a chill supper. Forty of the faculty members were present. Miss Doris Coppock with the aid of Miss Sarah May Vancil, decorated the tables for the affair.

All present were asked to guess the names of the men from the. symbols. The January flower, the carnation, was also used in the decoratings

Dr. Kenneth Bechtel, who is chairman of the faculty Social Committee, was in charge of the affair.

Two teams of Macollege debaters won four of eight debates at William Jewell’s annual Blizzard Debate Tournament at Liberty. Missouri, on Jan. 13.

Mohler To Be Director At Nebraska Conference

"I began my piano studies at the age of 3^1/2," said Mr. Joseph Battista, concert pianist, speaking over a cup of tea with lemon in the Coffee Shoppe of the Hotel Warren. "At that age I took a hammer and broke all of the keys on our piano, causing my parents to realize that l had talent."

The virtuoso presented a concert In the McPherson High School Auditorium Monday evening, Jan. 15. The Piano Concert was the first in a series of three Community Concerts in this city.

Although he presented his concert in a very dignified and formal manner, the audience caught a glimpse of his true personality when he announced "Liebestrau-me" as an "unfamiliar” number for an encore at the McPherson Concert.

"Any building must have a good foundation." Mr. Battista said in reference to his early piano training. He considers his study under Mne. Olga Samaroff of the Julliard Graduate School in New York most valuable.

The piano artist feels that his trip to Brazil as musical emissary of his country is high on the list of most thrilling events in his musical

career. He also has enjoyed playing with orchestras. "There is a certain excitement in playing with an orchestra.” he said, "like Ben Hur riding a chariot."

Mr. Battista finds that concert tours involve a rugged life, but he considers it a great thing to take music to all sections of the country. "One gets to know the country upside down," he remarked, He has discovered that audience response varies according to the amount of music the people have had.

In December, 1950. Battista gave the first radio performance of a new Concerto by Gian-Cario Nenotte, a composer whose musicals are now scoring successes on broadway. The Concerto was played with the Oklahoma Symphony.

Battista’s present tour Includes 40 concerts before March, He is scheduled to play with the Boston Symphony in April.

The pianist loves all of the composers; "especially the one I’m playing at the moment."

* Battista believes that popular music has improved in the last 25 years. "Everything from Boogy Woogy to the Kansas Jump —-oh. -brother!”

He stated that personality is very important to the concert pianist. "People expect more than a skittle technician!" he said. He cited Paderewski as a fine example of a musician with a great personality; “he was a diplomat." He mentioned Oscar Levant as an example of another extreme; "He was always wise-cracking.”

Sunday, Jan. 14. wan the artist’s 33rd birthday. He spent the day travelling to McPherson.

Mr. Battista is married; his wife accompanies him on the tours whenever possible. She is a former violinist with the Denver Symphony. They enjoy chamber music in their home. They play sonatas and trios—music in leisure time" "like a bus man's holiday."

Battista loves sports. His specialty Is badminton. He Is also an amateur magician.

Once a men was granted a pardon just when the rope that was to hang him dipped over his head.

The guy was so happy about being set free that he got drunk and shot his mother-in-law. So they hanged him anyway, only they were sorry they hadn’t done it sooner.

This is the way it is with the student. He gets a chance to improve at the semester; and, if he doesn't he gets lopped off at the end of the year. And the administration wishes it had happened sooner.

Macollege Placement Bureau made public a notice that seniors and students qualifying for the 60 hour certificate for teaching should have their credentials in soon if they wish the help of the bureau in securing jobs.

It is a rarity, indeed, to see a good movie anymore; and, when one does appear. It should be praised.

The following story is what I remember of a comedy, one of the best I have ever seen, named "Gerald McBoing-Boing.”

Th comedy on at the Manor theater last Sunday. Monday, and Tuesday was unique, entirely novel. and completely entertaining.

It was the story of "Gerald Mc-Boing-Boing’’, the name of a little boy who could not speak English.

One day when Gerald was small, he tried to talk and all that came out was "Boing, Boing”. Gerald’s folks were alarmed, so they called the doctor.

The doctor came, had Gerald open his mouth, and took a look inside. Gerald tryed to tell them what was the matter, but all he could say was, "Boing, boing".

“I can do nothing," said the doctor, and he immediately left the house.

Gerald grew to a fine sired young lad; and one day. he stood before his father as if to speak. He opened his mouth and a loud "B-O-O-O-M," like the sound of a great explosion came out. His father was so frightened that he leaped for the chandelier.

Mother and Father got together and decided that Gerald should be sent to school. So they bundled him up and off he went.

None of the other children wanted to play with Gerald, for instead of speaking, he would go "Boing, boing” or "Honk, honk" or "Uhooga" like an old Ford horn.

Gerald wag lonesome. He tried to tell father and a great, loud "Uhoooga" come out. His father scorned him.

Gerald went upstairs to his room and cried. Then he decided to run away. So he wrapped his

belongings in a bandana, tied a sheet to the bed post and lowered himself by it to the ground beneath his window.

When Gerald got outside, it was snowing and the wind was cold. But Gerald was sad and, worst of all lonesome.

Gerald went down to the railroad yards where a large red train was speeding by at a terrific rate.

Gerald calculated carefully so that he would time his jump right. Then, he jumped.

The train went by and the tracks were clear but Gerald Just hung in mid-air.

He looked up and saw a great, big "Southern Colonel"-looking-character who said he owned a radio station and wanted Gerald to work for him.

Gerald became famous overnight as the mysterious rider on the radio.

"Twenty-two outlaws are in that bar and somebody's got to get them.”

"But who can outdraw twenty-two men?"

Over in the corner, (Jerald drew his private microphone close, opened his mounth and “Clopity, Clop-ity, clop” the sound of the steed of Mysterious rider.

Gerald spoke again and the sound of boots against a wooden porch came out.

Then the squeek of the saloon doors.

Then the sound of shots.

The boots again.

The horse galloping off over the desert, and Gerald McBoing-bo-ing had triumphed again.

The radio audience went wild Wherever Gerald went people cheered and Gerald, sitting between his proud parents, Gerald wared and said simply, "Boing. boing.”—Don Shultz

The opinions expressed in this column are those of the contributors and not necessarily those of either McPherson College Or the Spectator.

The question for this week is "Do you think that semester examinations are worthwhile.

Note: Due to the reluctance of some students to use their names in this column, all names will be omitted.

No. I think that semester exams are a waste of time because people cram the night before the test, and forget the material the night after it.

No, I think that the way the instructor feels when he is grading the tests, and the way the student feels when he is taking the test influences the grade for the course.

Yes, I think that giving examinations forces some people to study at least one night a semester.

No, a person has to review too much useless material. Generally the Instructor omits the important work and hits the trivial points.

Yes, tests are valuable if they are good, well-centered tests that cover material covered in class. and in this way catches the class loafers.

Yes, if the material in the test corresponds to the material covered in the semester study. In this way you can find out what you actually learned that is of some value.

Yes, Tests are helpful if * the questions are covered after the test is graded so the student can see his mistakes.

Yes, if the instructor tests on material covered in the course and does not go off the track.

Yes. on the whole it shows what has been learned by the student during the course.

Yes, it is a good review, and it puts facts in mind that were forgotten during the daily lessons.

No, I do not think that the tests prove anything except what has been learned by rote and not what he has actually learned through thinking for himself.

Yes, it gives the student a chance to find out what he knows and has learned. Otherwise they would not get this chance.

If it raises his grade, yes: otherwise, no. Yes we learn as much from tests as from the rest of the course combined.
