Butler prof, predicts shortage of educators

In the face of claims of an overabundance of teachers, a Butler University educator predicts an across-the-board shortage of teachers “within 5-6 years.” “With so much attention focusing on decreasing enrollments and job eliminations, qualified students in increasing numbers are shying away from the teaching profession because of it," says Dr. Richard Guyer. "If this trend continues unchecked, communities can only Modular home unit will be moved into Oxford Terrace area In the latest phase of the developmment of Oxford Terrace (R 70), a modular home unit will be moved onto a lot at 2719 North Tacoma on Wednesday, December 2U to encourage development of similar singlefamily housing units in the area. According to Robert N. Kennedy, Director for the I fepartment of Metropolitan Development, the unit, constructed by Sunshine Homes by Roda of Elkhart, Indiana, seems thus far to be the most feasible means of providing quality, affordable, moderate priced housing in the area. Kennedy stated, “T h e designs of the proposed homes are attractive and the cost is considerably below what it would take for single contractors to buiild and sell specula live housing. We believe that these modular homes would provide prospective home buyers with an opportunity to obtain a new home at an affordable price in the area. The model house will also serve as an office and it w ill be on tour early in January.

look forward to an erosion of quality in elementary and secondary schools because potentially outstanding teachers will have chosen other professions,” he adds. “The fact is that there are many job areas presently unfilled,” says Dr. Guyer, who is director of teacher placement in the Butler University College of Education. He sees the number of openings increasing but the number of qualified candidates decreasing, which could lead to critical shortages. “Potentially outstanding teachers are being scared away by negative reports. They are having second thoughts about entering the teaching profes sion,” he says. Dr. Guyer compares the situation to the plight of the engineering profession a few years ago. "Claims of too many engineers were followed by decreasing enrollments in engineering schools. A short time later the nation was much in need of engineers. "I see the same thing happening in education within the next 5 or 6 years." Guyer says. Using his Butler experience as an example, he said that approximately 85 percent of Butler's 1978 education graduates found teaching positions. That’s a higher percentage than in recent years when the figure was about 60-70 percent. I could have placed more teachers in some areas of expertise if they had been available," he declared. Current statistics lend added support to his case. "Right now there were 12 openings in special education, 16 in math and 10 in English, but no available takers" Dr. Guyer can identify about two dozen areas which "are begging" for qualified teachers, emphasizing that for the most

part “they are specialized areas.” Among them are math, physical science, vocational business education, industrial arts, specialized music, reading specialization, bilingual certification, female administration certification, male elementary certification, social studies major certification, radio-TV, some foreign languages with a second certification area, psychometrists, psychologists, and drama, journalism and debate certifications. “By certification, I am talking of persons holding state-and university recognized licenses to teach specific subject areas and specific grade levels,” he stated. As to his advice to those young people who envision teaching as a career. Dr. Guyer said, "The most effective teaching machine will always be a dedicated human resource person, one who is well trained in subject area, has excellence in teaching methodology, and who recognizes the teaching process as having as a prerequisite, a genuine interest in the student. “Those who prepare in areas of double certification, in fields of wisely-chosen subject areas, and who perform strongly in their field experiences can almost certainly find jobs in the teaching profession. "We must turn this matter into a positive perception, and it will be up to the education profession itself to take that initiative." he said.

Non-traditional printing training available for women WASHINGTON-Seventy-five women will get training in nontraditional jobs in the printing industry under a contract with the Graphic Arts International Union, AFL-CIO. In making the announcement, Assistant Secretary of Labor Ernest G. Green said the Labor Department has awarded the union $187,379. Most of the training will be in upgrading the skills of women workers, enabling them to "move up” to other jobs. Upgrading could include helping women move from such jobs as journeyman bookbinder II (finisher) to bookbinder I '(operator), which was previously considered a job for men only. The union will subcontract with its locals around the country to work with printing companies having union con tracts. The wages will vary with the type of trade and geographic location. Training sites will be selected as openings develop and programs are initiated between locals and employers. Under its previous contract, 66 women were placed through the program and all were upgraded. The new contract runs through Nov. 30, 1979. The contract is funded under Title III of the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA), which is administered by the department’s Employ ment and Training Administra tion (ETA). For further information about the contract, write: Beryl Brown, GAIU, 1900 L. St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036 (refer to contract #99-9-475 92 1).

FATHERLY: Veteran Indianapolis Attorney Henry J. Richardson Jr. was recently saluted as 1978 “International Father of the Year” by the International Welcoming Committee of Indianapolis. The accolade is in recognition of the treasured assistance he and his wife have offered students from foreign countries who are studying here. Richardson has shared his home with scores of such young people. For the services, he received a citation from IW'CT and Mayor William Hudnut III.

Twenty inner-city school children have won savings bonds and honorable mentions in the Fourth Annual Essay Contest sponsored by the Inner-City Y’s Men’s Club, an international service club affiliated with the Young Men’s Christian Association of Greater Indianapolis, a United Way Agency.

Savings bonds of $100, $75, $50, and $25 were awarded to first, second, third and fourth place winners respectively.

Because some ills are accompanied by a loss of appetite, some people have had the “great’’ idea that fasting would cure all ills. Medical experts point out that, in most cases, this idea is strictly from hunger * * *

In what is probably an effort to improve conditions for workers, the government had some “great’’ ideas about regulating the cotton industry. Economics experts point out this would raise clothing prices and so hurt a lot of working people. Many people are writing their legislators to learn their opinion of these unneeded regulations.

First place winners were: Kristen Frederickson, 13, eighth grade, School 37 and Leanna R. Hobbs, 12, seventh grade, School 101. Second place winners were: Harold K. Green, 13,8th grade, School 21 and Betty J. Hommel, 12, 7th grade, School 4. Third place winners were: Kelly L. Evans, 13, 8th grade. School 41 and Wayne A. Hughes, 12, 7th grade, School 39.
