Chevalier told the Great Issues class last night. Speaking before about 80 members of the “Great Issues” class and faculty, Colonel Chevalier brought out that in the struggle between grpupa for a larger share of the na tional income, the situation may re-♦ suit where there will be less for all groups, including those that are trying to grab the lion’s share of the benefits. j!j I | j After being introduced by: Dr. C. W. Randle, head of the economics department, Col. Chevalier discus sed the five basic issues that bear op the problem of labbrtmanage- ment relations, l i'l j First avowing his intentions not to deliver any jmrtisan propaganda since that cap be obtained from the newspapers and radio,' Col. Cheva lier pointed out that objectivity is largely a cultivated quality. In analysing his first issue, the distribution of ‘ income between various groups, Chevalier said the national income should go in fair proportion to support our natural resources, labor, equipment, man agerial * skill,; governmental servi ces, and invention. A high living standard Is an entirely relative matter and de pends oh research, managerial skill, and technology, he said. However it is pot a simple mat ter to determine a fair distribu-. tion of income between the many groups and no basis will ever be equitable that depends purely on a theory without taking into account the actual situation. ' . i Col. Chevalier pointed out that when he was a boy, “opportunity” was mpeh talked about, while now A special surhjmer point&i last nightIm; thej j on the special actiHlities aft summer session, j i During this ci .nelfit| udent Senate ent committee was ap- meeting to decide ejrtA nm^nt for the coming ed a verdict of accidental death. Managerial skii No investor can get full security for his investment, hut excessive risks tend to dry up the source of Capital, Chevalier asserted. r In speaking on the third issue, the right of management to man age, Col. Chevalier made the point that management is not a class of people but a function.

The plant has a capacity of 50 cows of calves, and about 220 hogs tier,-hour.-Killing is done several hour! a day several times a week. Processing goes on continually, witfco beef, ^ham, and 22 varieties of sausage the final products. ill is essential in ]the co-ordination of enterprise. Most of the managers came ori ginally from the, ranks of labor, he said. Howevier, it would : not help management to have j union leaders doing managerial jobs just because they are good union offi cials. ' ! ''tjj: j.'' 1 ] Comrnenting on thg_ responsibili ty of labor unions, Chevalier brought out that unions have be- (icome tremendously powerful ip the last few years. In 1933, 3 million men were in the ranks of organiz ed labor while in 1941 the figure had become 10 million and in-1947 16 million. // At presenjt some union leaders hold a monoply of labor in parti cular industries. The presence of industry wide unions could para lyze our naitioha) .defense if the union leadership fell under minor ity control, Chevalier said. ' In the discussfcn of his final point, the dignity of the individ ual, Col Chevalier urged the need for belUer understanding of just what makes the average man act as he does. J The important thing, he said, is that in reference to all the] fac tions, their liberties should he] bal anced by their responsibilities; .

In the future, with more young people entering school, Dr. Has kew pointed out that the scho lastic ability of the group as a whole Will not be as high aslit is now. There will alsd be fewer men trained in technical and mechanical skills. This drop in previous train ing in such skills, combined with a general overall lowering of scho lastic ability of college entrants, a problem of having to teach more and less well trained students, in a faster and more complete man ner. A greater diversity of interests among students will produce for the teacher the problem of raising the interest level of his course in order to compete with the more varied interests of the students. This problem is already cropping up with veteran students. Dr. Haskew suggested that teachers must grow and experi ment in teaching to keep up with the increased competition among students, j A suggestion that teachers learn to know their students 'better to discover the blocks in their learn ing processes was considered a fundamental requirement for im proving teaching, according to Dr. Haskew. jj ] !' , | Efforts must be made to get the student’s interest. This cannot be done by hiding behind silly, gener alizations in classroom lectures. There must be more experimenting in teaching methods. Old, tradi tional teaching methods must be discarded. Results of experiments in teaching should be observed un til the most satisfactory results are obtained and then! this course should be followed with constant efforts to improve upon even the most satisfactory method.
