meeting in Chicago in December
of 1946 when a group of Ameri

organization.
Lowenstein was elected nation

his own objections." He has
traveled over 50,000 miles during
ya nact twelve months and has
made the organization an instru
mental force in combating the
ist - controlled Interna-
tional Union of Students which
has been holding a big rally in
East Berlin.

Teacher Shortage Seen
Many schools will be without
qualified teachers this fall and
"the present situation appears to
be worse than last year," Guy B.
Phillips, director of the summer
session and Dean of the School of
Education, said here yesterday.
Dean Phillips, who directs tne
Teacher Placement Bureau for
the University, said the most
serious shortage is in the field
of elementary education.
'There are no elementary
teachers in any classification in
the Placement Bureau available
for positions," he said. "In addi
tion to this, the supply in music,
art, women's physical education,
commercial work, mathematics,
science, and the languages is ex
hausted." Dean Phillips pointed out that
statistics from the State Depart
ment of Education indicate the
actual shortaee. which, he said,
applies in most cases to the rural
elementary schools.
"At the present time there are
very few available candidates in
the files at the University here,"
he said. "These few are limited
to certain classifications in which
there is a slight oversupply at
the present time. Apparently,
there, are still some few teachers
in English and social studies who
are not daced. There are no ex
Derienced teachers listed in the
Bureau available for positions in
these areas.
Dean Phillips said the Bureau
here has received more than 1,500
reauests for assistance in secur
in? teachers since April. "These
requests come from all over the
United States, but mostly from
itfrtrth r.arolina " he said. "It has
