TWO MED FCD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, September 30, 1955 State Senator Says Education "Pawn" at Present Portland "Education and ed ucators can no longer remain pawns on the chessboard to be moved this way and that at po litical whim," stated State Sen ator Mark Hatfield at a Wednes day evening dinner meeting of ' the Portland Division of the Ore gon Education association at Lin coln High school. Senator Hatfield told the au dience of over 400 educators and lay persons that "the educational profession has bought a ticket to the otball game and its mem bers are in the grandstand." "We can no longer leave to Cecil Posey and Robert Phelps (OEA staff members) the responsibility of s&piOg the educational deci sions of the day at the legisla ture, said the youthful Willam ette university dean of students Heiired a volley at teaAers, ad mimstrators, . and school board 9 members who still hold the mis taken idea that education can remain aloof from politics. The senator pleaded that edu cators should give consideration to the establishment of a secre tary of education with full cab! net rank and to break edScation away from health and welfare. Hf) explained that this was "not to greaten federal encroachment but to give proper emphasis to education along with labor, com merce, foreign affairs, etc." He further pointed out that other countries have ministers of edu cation. He next emphasized that an informed pubfcc has the forti tude to lay the pros and cons of the issues of the day before the student. "Are we raising a gen eration of political neophytes?" queried Senator Hatfield. "There is just as great a shortage of good political talent as there is of teachers." The term politician and its connotations can be partially blamed on the politicians them selves. However, they are a product of our educational sys tem and a public that stands for corruption, conniving, etc., "is R the same public that passed through the educational system," Senator Hatfield continued. "If we leave public discussion and public participation to the non-educators, we are not mak ing the maximum use of our brain power," stated the speaker. He explained that in the days to come, manpower would take an even more remote back seat to brainpower than at present. The talk was entitled, "Educa tion From the Grandstand and the Scrimmage Line."
