Duke, who has been taking pictures for the JAYHAWKER ever since most of us can remember, spent most of the summer wandering about the campus in search of unusually beautiful scenes. His search finally ended when he turned out the unusual shot which later became our Fall cover. The only thing that is missing in this shadow study of Uncle Jimmy Green, is a cluster of fledgling lawyers whistling at the girls. NEXT ISSUE Along with the first snow flurries on Mount Oread, the Christmas tion of the JAYHAWKER is due to arrive, complete with over a hundred pages of pictures, features, and ings. Homecoming, the end of the football season, Christmas shopping, Basketball, and that broad subject of— Women , all will be featured. In addition the 1948 JAYHAWKER covers are scheduled for distribution with the second issue. JAYRAWIIINT

EDI n gle According to Mr. Paul Gallico, no columnist worth his journalistic salt can afford to face the typewriter without the assistance of some hyperintelligent off- spring which are not averse to making with the wise- crack and glib remark at the appropriate time. In deference to Mr. Gallico ' s wishes, on Thursday last I labored and gave birth to a three-year-old son here- inafter referred to as Junior. Junior is an expert on all matters pertaining to economics, politics, ness, education, and the lowering of women ' s skirts; and in addition has definite Phi Beta Kappa leanings. Yesterday evening as I sat at home breathlessly engrossed in Little Orphan Annie ' s struggles with machine politics, Junior raised up from his study of the Chicago Journal of Commerce and cautiously inquired, Pater, why is this? This, in this case referred to the classified advertising section where two ads appeared concurrently. The first blandly an- nounced, Wanted — Certified Public Accountant. Must have college degree and at least two years ' ex- perience. Salary, $50 per week. This ad was lowed by a larger, more pretentious notice which exclaimed, Bricklayers Wanted! Two years ' work guaranteed! $25 per day! Junior, I said with a tear in my eye, The time has arrived for you to become acquainted with tain facts ... There was a time, back in the days of free lunches and Francis X. Bushman, when a college degree en- titled one to a slight raise in pay. Those were the days when the white collar worker could keep self in soap chips with his pay check. Such ness has now gone its way, along with hip flasks and Isham Jones. This change in the monetary evaluation of a lege degree has been brought about in part because there has been a change in college education itself. Two things have happened to it—it has been com- mercialized, and it has become specialized. A college degree has become a symbol of objective worth, like a tuxedoe, a Buick, or a Calvert ad. As such a symbol, it has been bought and sold in a way that would make Barnum proud and Plato shudder. As is the case with all commercial goods when an increased supply appears, the value of college grees has dwindled. The objective value of a college education has been forced down even further by the specialization that has taken place within education. Specialization has entered the American college scene at a pace that would make Henry Ford turn green with envy. The sedate old Liberal Arts institutions that used to dot our nation have been divided, sub-divided, de- partmentalized, and extended into sprawling cities which have a suspicious resemblance to our modern bomber plants. To the ivy-covered old buildings have been added; schools of business, schools of metalurgy, schools of speech, schools of mology, schools of advertising, and schools of family relations, but no schools of thought. We now have specialists in every field of human endeavor known to man. The only thing we seriously need is a specialist to coordinate all of the other specialists. We have an abundance of know-how, but all too little know-why. The American colleges, in their rush to instruct the fledgling citizen with the practices of our called civilization, have been criminally negligent in their instruction of the purposes of that civilization. As a result our technical advance has far out-stripped our moral advance, and we now have power without wisdom—a dangerous combination. Our position as a nation is analogous to a boat load of marine gineers, without a pilot. Our physicists know nothing of philosophy and our philosophers know nothing about guided missiles. Our ministers can ' t fire a rifle, and our ballistics experts don ' t know ethics from third base. The fault is not theirs, but that of the edu- cational system which produced them. The time has arrived for that system to give its children compasses to travel the thoroughfares of life with, instead of spades. Hilaire Belloc, a great writer and a great thinker, once remarked that we are witnessing a race between education, and disaster. At this moment, I ' d hate to have two bucks on education.
