“Some of the people can get something for nothing all of the time, and all of the people
can get something for nothing some of the time, but all of the people cannot get something
for nothing all of the time,” Col Willard T. 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

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.
