A sex Instructor at Cal State Long Beach,
who recently resigned, has surfaced from hiding
and is asking for his job back.
Barry Singer is seeking to rescind a resigna
tion he says he submitted while under duress.
Singer's resignation was prompted because
of adverse publicity surrounding his unconven
tional teaching methods in his Psychology of Sex
course. Singer is alleged to have become
“romantically involved” with several students. He
disclosed that he gave credit for sexual exper
imentation, which included extra-marital affairs
and homosexual activity.
Cal State’s position on Singer's proposition is
"He resigned it isdead, finished and over with,
and that's the end of it.”

In the last ten years the number of literates in
the world rose by 456 million, while the world
iifiterarcy fell 28.9 percent, according to UNESCO
officials
Although the percentage of illiterates de
clined, their absolute number rose to 800 million
worldwide. Illiteracy rates stand at 60 percent in
Africa, 34 percent in Asia and 20 percent in Latin
America, said UNESCO's director general.
World Student News, 1982
When former-president Richard Nixon
speaks someone — inexorably — writes it
down.
This time Nixon had a few words to make
crystal clear, chastising women reporters for their
aggressiveness. Women reporters, says Nixon
"lose something” by becoming as "crude and as
ruthless and as vulgar as men are."
Inquiry, July 1982
Albert Shankar, president of the American
Federation of Teachers since 1974, was assured
of a fifth two-year term as that union's head.
Shanker ran unopposed. He was so sure of
reelection that he didn’t bother to show up at the
AFT’s convention in New York when his name
was placed in nomination.
The State News, July 3
Employment Information for those consider
ing a career in teaching has been confusing. In
areas such as the arts there is a glut of capable
instructors. However, in the sciences, there is an
ever-increasing demand for qualified secondary
school teachers.
The greatest area of need for teachers is in
the technical fields such as engineering and
computers Student interest in these areas of
study has grown considerably.
The U S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a
93 to 112 percent increase in computer service
jobs — with demand for systems analysts in
creasing 80 percent and 60 percent for computer
programmers Most of the demand for analysts
and programmers is in the high technology in
dustries.
In California, Oregon and Washington, 84
percent of recently hired science and math
teachers lack the requisite state education
department courses for teacher certification,
according to the National Science Teachers
Association.
New York had only 32 college graduates
planning to teach junior or senior high school
math. While in New Hampshire, state education
officials say only a single college graduate
planned a career teaching mathematics.
Twenty-five states have what is called a
"critical” shortage of high school physics
teachers, according to a national survey. And 20
states critically need math and science teachers.

Acacia fraternity at the University of Wyom
ing is in "hot water" with the assistant dean of
students, for parties traditionally held during
summer orientation. Summer orientation on the
Laramie campus is usually the time incoming
freshmen take English and math placement ex
ams. They also tend to be accompanied by their
parents.
Officials at UW were worried that the cus
tomary parties would interfere with study for the
placement exams, and that the "tone" of the
parites would cast UW a in bad light. "Parents get
upset (at the consumption of alcohol and resul
tant inebriation of their offspring),” the UW
student body president said.
Acacia fraternity is accused of having a party
advertised over a local radio station as an
"Orientation Party.”
On page 2 of this same publication there is a
story concerning five incoming freshmen attend
ing the summer orientation who were arrested for
liquor law violations of which 14 orientees were
involved. The five were described as “belligerent
and uncooperative" by an eyewitness

Oklahoma University fell on the losing side of
an age discrimination suit, but officials continue
to plead OU's innocence.
A U S. District Court found OU guilty of age
discrimination against Marion Clark, of the Ok
lahoma Geological Survey. Clark, a cartographic
technologist, filed charges against OU in 1979
when UO allegedly failed to promote her. At the
time, Clark was 59 years old. A younger man from
Denver, Colo, was hired to the post Clark sought.
Following Clark’s filing of charges she
received a substantially reduced merit increase
and an unaccountably poor performance evalua
tion.
OU officials and Clark’s lawyers are working
with the District Court judge to determine the
damages owed Clark.
The Oklahoma Dally, June 29
Auburn University has awarded an athletic
scholarship to Prince William of Wales, Charles
and Diana's newborn and heir to the British
throne.
Pat Dye, Auburn’s athletic director and head
football coach announced shortly after the royal
birth that he had written to the infant enclosing an
honorary scholarship and a blue Auburn football
jersey. It was a publicity coup that no doubt
excited the peptic ulcers of sports information
directors across the country.
Coach Dye didn't say what position "Willy”
will play if and when he takes advantage of the
Auburn scholarship. There has been no response
from the fortunate parents.
