TED MANNING DUNKS ONE to score a basket for NCC’s basket
ball Eagles in their recent 83-76 win over the Virginia Union
Panthers.
The hustling Panthers overcame a 16-point first-half deficit
to knot the score 66-all at game’s end, pushing the contest into an
overtime period.

According to the Dean a per
son with a Master’s degree will
earn around 3/8 of a million
dollars during his life time,
while a person with a doctor’s
degree will earn one half mil

life.
“The best paying jobs are

(Continued from page 1)
1964, issue of Show magazine,
Judge Lawson expressed con
cern for the children of today—
their general well-being, their
livelihood, their future.
The nation is rapidly grow
ing younger, she said, pointing
out that in 1965 more than half
of all Americans will be under
25 years of age.
In addition to an American
population explosion, she con
tinued, the country is becoming
more mobile. “Five years from
now, only one half of the people
in the country will live in the
same houses they live in today,”
she said, commenting on the
American move westward and
a 75-mile shift in the population
center westward since 1913.
“The pressure is on—for em
ployment, for housing, for po
lice services, for firemen, for
highways, for sewage facili
ties—everything that piakes a
community workable and bear
able and a place in which to
live,” she declared.
The economy must grow at
a greater rate in order to create
jobs for the expanding popula
tion, she said, continuing,:
“Workers, young and old, must
be better trained—and retrained
—for tomorrow’s tasks. You are
going to live in a growing,
changing, moving, complex
young world. You must be pre
pared to be flexible, adventu
rous, and trained to your teeth
if you intend to be on board,
little children ...”
Citing unemployment statis
tics, she related lack of educa
tion to unemployment, asserting
that the world affords less if
one is unskilled, is in the labor
market at too early an age, is
not white, or lives in the wrong
section.
“To be not white,” she con
tinued, “was however a handi
cap in the past. In the life
which you make, it will not be
the same thing which our par
ents faced—that is, unless it is
combined with an inadequate
education or a double refusal
to go where the jobs are.”
Judge Lawson stated that un
employment and poverty are
handmaidens, asserting that
poverty runs deep and silent
across the land and pointing out
that 22 percent of the persons
classified as poverty-stricken in
the U.S. are Negroes despite the
fact that Negroes constitute only
about 10 percent of the total
population.

A GUIDE FOR THE GUIDERS
One of the most interesting academic theories advanced in
many a long year has recently been advanced by that interest
ing academic theorist, E. Pluribus Ewbank, Ph. D. who holds
the chair of Interesting Academic Theories at the St. Louis
College of Footwear and Educational Philosophy. Dr. Ewbank
said in the last issue of the learned journal, the Mount Rtishmore
Guide to Scholastic Advancement and Presidents’ Heads, that we
might be approaching the whole problem of student guidance
from the wrong direction.
Dr. Ewbank, a highly respected pedagogue and a lifelong
smoker of Marlboro Cigarettes, (I mention Marlboros for two
reasons: first, to indicate the scope of Dr. Ewbank’s brainpower.
Out of all the dozens of brands of cigarettes available today,
Dr. Ewbank has had the wit and taste to pick the one with the
most flavorful flavor, the most filtracious filter, the most soft
soft pack, the most flip top Flip Top box: I refer, of course, to
Marlboro. The second reason I mention Marlboro is that I get
paid to mention Marlboro in this column, and the laborer, you
will agree, is worthy of his hire.)
But I digress. To return to Dr. Ewbank’s interesting theory,
he contends that most college guidance counselors are inclined
to take the easy way out. That is to say, if a student’s aptitude
tests show a talent for, let us say, math, the student is encour
aged to major in math. If his tests show an aptitude for poetry,
he is directed toward poetry. And so forth.
All wrong, says Dr. Ewbank. The great breakthroughs, the
startling innovations in, let us say, math, are likely to be made
not by mathematicians—whose thinking, after all, is constrained
by rigid rules and principles—but by mavericks, by noncon
formists, by intuitors who refuse to fall into the rut of reason.
For instance, set a poet to studying math. He will bring a fresh,
unfettered mind to the subject, just as a mathematician will
bring the same kind of approach to poetry.
By way of evidence, Dr. Ewbank cites the case of Cipher
Binary, a youth who entered college with briUiant test scores in
physics, chemistry, and the calculus. But Dr. Ewbank forced
young Cipher to major in poetry.
The results were astonishing. Here, for example, is young
Cipher’s latest poem, a love lyric of such originality that Lord
Byron springs to mind. I quote:
He was her logarithm,
She was his cosine.
Taking their dog with ’em.
They hastened to go sign
Marriage vows which they joyfully shared,
And wooed and wed and pi r squared.
Similarly, when a freshman girl named Elizabeth Barrett
Sigafoos came to Dr. Ewbank to seek guidance, he ignored the
fact that she had won the Pulitzer prize for poetry when she
was eight, and insisted she major in mathematics. Again the
results were startling. Miss Sigafoos has set the entire math
department agog by flatly refusing to believe that six times
nine is 54. If Miss Sigafoos is correct, we will have to re-think
the entire science of numbers and—who knows?—possibly open
up vistas as yet undreamed of in mathematics.
Dr. Ewbank’s unorthodox approach to student guidance haa
so impressed his employers that he was fired last week. He is
currently selling beaded moccasins at Mount Rushmore.
