Blessed Is the Born Teacher It's said that a student will get as much out of a class as lie puts into it. That is removing responsibility from the pro fessor. The maxim should be, “A student will get as much out of a class as he is inspired to want to get out of it. The ability to create this desire to learn is one way in which a teacher can cxcell over a textbook. 1 he good teacher, by his attitudes and methods can open the door through which his pupils to pass to a liking, and an understanding of the sub ject, and sometimes the lust of an explorer to go on in the field. But rare is the man whose enthusiasm makes a dry course live, who creates interest where it did not exist. It s hard to define this spark which can enkindle the greenest of scholar material. Usually the instructor loves the course he teaches well, so perhaps it is just the quality of contagion that is in anv great love. Yet this communicable enthusiasm is not i.’.i the makeup of every scientist and scholar who is lecturing on his field of main interest. It may be that there truly is such a thing as a “born teacher.” Yet some in the teaching profes sion might blame less on heredity and fry to show the student the usefullness of the subject at hand and the fascination of learning. One thing is certain, though. Tt is not necessary to make ingratiating jokes, tell irrelevant stories or give easy tests to be the donor of the key to broader interests. Nor will stringent methods of making students “pay attention” in classes make their attention productive. Over and above what they would glean anyway, they will learn only as much more as they are inspired to learn. Blessed, then, is the teacher who tries to be a “born teach er;” who looks in two places for the source of every poor grade: at the student and his study habits, and at himself and his teaching habits. N.H. Harold Stassen Visits Campus Pausing in his Oregon campaign tour Saturday ex-Gov. Harold E. Stassen paid a brief visit to the Oregon campus. Mr. Stassen arrived at the Eu gene airport at 9:45 a.m. and went directly to the campus. His first stop was at the College Side Inn where he met a number of Univer sity students and from there he proceeded to Johnson hall where he was introduced to President Harry K Newburn. Stassen's next stop was for a short speech at a lumbermen’s con vention at the Armory and from there he addressed Eugene citi zens at the downtown park blocks. In his speech to Eugene citizens Stassen spoke on the need of West ern development and the vital po sition it played in the development of the nation as a whole. Stassen’s last stop before board ing his plane for Salem was a luncheon address at Springfield. Gov. Stassen expressed h i s thanks to the hospitality shown him during his visit to the campus and also congratulated the stu dents on their interest shown in government affairs.

Deems mvc all the best radio news cracks on Monday and then it s too late. But, doubtless, you were all glued to the radio last night during the Dewey-Stassen fracas, (or Stassen-Dewey, to show that we are non-partial). When you think about it, though, it’s pretty nice to sit in the comfort of your room and just snap a dial to get a wide variety of entertainment. (We now proceed to get out our hankies and dab our eyes.) But now to the business at hand! Found a fine program lor vets. Name o’ 'The "Veteran Wants to Know” . . . (Sunday KORE 10:45 a.m.). Show is written and produced by Fred Fiske, himself a veteran. Show comes from Washington D.C. and sheds light on all veteran legislation. Fiske manages to get a whale of a lot of informa tion over in 15 minutes even to an interview with a congress man each week concerning vets. This is straight dope from the original source . . . catch it! For the benefit of the kiddies, we might make a comment on those late afternoon serials, such as Captain Midnight, Sky King, Superman. Not that we would stoop so low as to listen to same, but some weeks ago, there was a movement on foot in web (meaning network) circles, to change all 15 serial shows which run five days a week, TO half-hour shows three times a week, WITH a complete story each time, bo far we have noticed only one show that has made the change, i.e., Jack Armstrong, the Alllllll American Boy. Ah well. Newsweek magazine noticed our remarks re the April 29 V.D. documentary, and came out (3 days later)-with almost identical comments. All right, we’ll stop. Our back and hand are getting sore. Actually, Newsweek had some significant statistics (try saying “significant statistics” fast). The Amer ican Broadcasting Co. switchboard was plagued with calls from irate conservatives before and during the broadcast. But praises, acording to the Newsweek source, outnumbered con demnations 3-1. A bevy of French accents (some authentic) forced us to pull a screeching halt at 970 k.c. (KOIN). “Tell It Again' was doing Dickens’ “Tale of Two Cities.” The adaptations are well done. This particular "one caught the fine irony of the book. Time: Sunday, 10:30 a.m. EOS ANGELES, May 17—(UP). The Don Lee Broadcast ing system will ban all political speeches from its radio nework until candidates are “officially selected,” Lewis Allen Weiss, vice-president of the network, said Monday. Where presidential candidates are concerned, they will be considered officially selected after they have been picked by their party conventions. The network, however, will carry Monday night’s debate between Harold E. Stassen and Thomas E. Dewey, candidates for the Republican presidential nomination, on the question of outlawing the Communist party. A spokesman said that did not conflict with the general policy because the debate was “of wide public news interest.” Kwamas to Meet Kwamas will meet from 4 p m to 5:30 pm. and from 6:30 p.m to 10 pm. today at the Alpha Gamma Delta house.
