JOHN M. BAHNER Dr. John M. Bahner, associate superintendent for instruction in the Dade County schools system at Mi ami, Fla., was the featured speaker for the annual spring conference on educational procedures of the Elon College Department of Psychology and Education, held in afternoon and night sessions last Friday, March 31st. The conference, which had “Indi vidual Instruction” for its theme this year, attracted school personnel from throughout this area of North Caro lina. After opening with refreshments in the William S. Long Student Cen ter on the Elon campus at 4 o’clock Friday afternoon, there was an after noon lecture by Dr. Bahner, who also spoke at a dinner meeting held in McEwen Memorial Dining Hall on Friday night. Dr. Bahner’s topic for the after noon meeting was “Individualized In- struction; Its Definition and Justifj. cation,” and was delivered in tlit Mooney Chapel Theatre. His topic for the dinner meeting was “Individ ualized Instruction: Implementation Procedures.” The guest speaker, a native of Ohio, is a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan and holds the Master's Degree from Kent State University and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Chi cago. BUSINESS MEN AND HIGHER EDUCATION The growing interest of business men and business organizations in higher education is one of the encouraging trends in the field of higher edu cation today, especially in the area of privately endowed and church-related colleges. The state-supported institutions can always call on public taxes for support, but more and more the privately operated institutions are having to depend on the active support of corporate business organizations. The most recent bulletin issued by the North Carolina Foundation of Church-Related Colleges, which was formed some years ago to seek added support for church-related colleges in the state, presents an interesting com mentary upon this support of American education by private business in terests. The comment in that recent bulletin, entitled “Return on Invest ment,” says— Businssmen in America underwrite education. Whether through taxation or by voluntary support of private institutions of higher education, here, the men of industry have established and maintained progressively more educa tion for more Americans year by year. As in business, healthy competition between private and public institutions has made our American system of higher education alert and productive. Continuance of the desirable balance is contingent upon the operation and excellence of both independent colleges and tax-supported colleges and universities. Recognizing their responsibilities in independent education and realizing their opportunty to assert “good business" philosophy in higher edu cation, business and industrial organizations have wisely invested in the private sector of higher education. The returns on the investments are in people — in the society which America is in the process of becoming. Futures for business are in the en lightened electorate—the keepers of the democratic system: the independ ent thinkers and builders of an ever-expanding economy: the leaders in the challenging change of this time: the workers, not only trained to act, but inspired to reason, to evaluate, and to make responsible decisions. ■And speaking of the returns on investment being in people and their service to society, the same bulletin offers an interesting chart or diagram which shows tremendous increase in individual earning capacity during the lifetime of persons with college education or higher when compared with the lifetime earnings of those with less than a college education.

If so, or if you think you might be making such a decision in the near future, here are a few things to consider. The most important thing is the type of job being offered to you. You must be sure that this job is the one in which you are interested and one which you are willing to pursue as your occupation. After you have decided on the type of job, there are several other factors which must be given careful consideration. These include advance ment opportunities, salary, extra ben efits, job location and the size of the company with which you are considering affiliation. Let us take a glance at each one separately, but realizing at the same time that in the final analysis you must consider every aspect of the job offer very carefully. Advancement opportunities form a very important factor in accepting a job. Does this company offer equal advancement opportunities to all of its employees? An ambitious person should be concerned with his future and should expect to advance to higher rank in his chosen field. And, of course, the applicant must consider the salary that a prospective employer offers. The salary must be adequate to provide a comfortablt living standard. The starting salarj cannot be the most important factor in accepting or rejecting a job offer but there again the possibility of ad vancement enters the picture. One company may offer a higher starting salary in comparison witli an offer from a second concern, but it is quite possible that the second company may offer the better job in | the long run. This is where the ad vancement possibilities must be taken into consideration. Then, too, there are the job bene-; fits to consider. Every major com pany in the United States has somt [ type of benefit plan. A benefit plan should include vacations, life insur ance, bonuses, cooperative savings! plans, military absences, health in i surance, pension and family healtl:| coverage. An applicant should kiiot j all about a company’s benefit pro gram and know what it has to offer] Finally, the applicant should dM cide on a preferred location, a loci-1 tion in which he would like to wort| He should be careful, however, in| limiting himself to too small an arei| for this could cause him to lose thij best job opportunity of all. After considering all of these fst- tors of a job offer, an applic«l should be in position to make a dc-i cision and to feel reasonably confij dent that he has made the rigkij choice. ADVOCATUS DIABOLI By TOM PEARSE Recently the Elon Administration took on a new duty. It seems that one of the fraternities had one of its illustrious pledges apprehend a small feline as a pre-requisite to becoming a full member. While riding through the town of Elon, he saw a large but non-de script cat. “Ah,” thought the pledge, “the perfect cat.” He stopped his yellow Mustang with its four-speed gear-box and rat tail hanging from the gas tank. Carefully opening the door of his car, he quickly reached down and scooped up the cat in his hands. Suddenly out of the dark fore boding night came a blood curdling scream, along with the words, “Son ny, you put that there pedigreed Rus sian alley cat down.” Being a frat man, and therefore obedient, he dropped the cat. Next morning a desparate call came to the office of one of the administrators, opening with the words, “Yawl have a cat-napper at that there college.” “A cat-napper at a fine Christian institution like my school? I cannot believe it, but I’ll check it out to make sure,” answered the adminis trator. One might inquire at this point what this has to do with a new duty of the administration other th® keeping the sale of beer out of Eloi Well, one should equate the ne* duty to that of a second-rate Charlii Chann and his Number One Boy All business matters were tertni' nated. Which is more important-^ scholarships and funds for building i] monument to some forgotten Chri> tian educator or catching a cat lestor? Apparently catching the cK napper takes first rank. Charlie Chann and his Numbe One Boy began their astute invest! gation. From the Bureau of Stud® Personnel they obtained a compW' make of the criminal. Once this W been achieved they began a systematic check of the studen haunts. It took four and a half houc of diligent work to conclude thi the student might possibly be in and there they found and apprehen ed him. ^ Incidentally, the punishment as childish as the search and seizu« The student had to apologize for tempting to abduct the cat. Me^ while four and a half hours of ti had been wasted. One wonders i administrators serve a functional p pose. Then again a simple soluti to the problem would be to a committee for Cat-Napping In'’ tigation. It would be ^i&osen r the ranks of ministerialstudents, ^ ting as it does their pr‘ of service. irincip*^
