Bish op teaches atSouth-EasternBi ble college. "Dr. Crane," Jie added, "you have often said that college teachers are not overworked. "Well, I find my personal teaching load much heavier than the usual 12 hours per week that is the average. "For I.teach as high as 17 hours per week and handle as many as 500 students. "In fact, I think I put in more hours per week than I did during my 15 years while serving as the minister of a church/' BRAVO, PROF. BISHOP A few years ago the college presidents of the Midwest in vited me to address their meet ing in Chicago. They wanted to know how to meet the rising costs of high er education, without demanding more taxes from state legis latures or handouts from their faithful alumni. And I then pointed out the fact that our grade schools in Chi cago had a teacher-pupil ratio of 1:32^ The ratio in high schools was \1:24' V But in colleges, it was mere ly 1:12. And at Harvard, the ratio was only 1:2% meaning that Har vard had one salaried teacher for every 2% students! Is it any wonder that col leges thus keep running in the red and demanding huge in creases in subsidies from state legislatures or Uncle Sam? Moreover,the average teach ing load is but 12 hours per week and those so-called "hours" run only 50 minutes. Since the usual courses meet but 3 times per week, the av erage teacher may put in 4 periods of 50-minutes each on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and his week's classroom work is over. "Oh, but Dr. Crane," some horrified pedants will exclaim, "you have overlooked the leng thy job of grading papers." Malarky! Graduate students and those with fellowships, usually grade the papers. An objective mimeographed tests can be scored by sten cils, even by grade schoolers who don't need to know a thing about the contents of the courses covered by the exam papers they are marking! Maybe I am stirring up a hornet's nest by thus exposing the "sacred cows" of campus education. But I am giving you the straight facts! The usual insurance sales man or doctor or lawyer or store clerk or editor would con sider it a snap to put in but 12 hours a week! And the teacher works only 9 months, out of which he also gets 2 weeks off at Christmas: plus one week at Easter or Spring vacation; plus half a week at Thanksgiving recess, etc. "But, Dr. Crane," a profes sor may exclaim, "how can you say the college ratio is but one teacher per 12 students? Why I have over 100 students!" True enough, but just divide the total number of faculty into the entire semester enrollment and you'll find that a college with 720 students has at least 60 faculty members, meaning 1:12 ratio! If the ratio were at least 1:24, tuitional income would double and taxpayers would then be able to see state colleges pay their own way! Remember, a kindergarten teacher with 32 kiddies works © THE LAW SERVES YOU by Illinois State Bar Association Illinois Law Protects Your Reputation Against Malicious Attack If you received a "poison" pen letter, falsely accusing you of^ committing a murder, would you be likely to win in a libel suit against the writer? The answer is no, according to the Illinois State Bar as sociation, unless a copy of the letter was sent to or read by at least one person other than yourself. According to Illinois law,you cannot defame a person unless the false and^urtful informa- far harder than the college prof, so send for my "Test for Good Teachers," enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 20 cents. (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, enclos ing a long stamped, addressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and pointing costs when you send foj; one of hrs book lets.) tion is cQmmunicated to some one other than the person spok en or written about. If the communication is written or broadcast on radio or tele vision, .the defamation is libel;.^ if it is spoken it is slander. Thus, you safely may accuse someone privately of wrong- dc ing, but not inpublic or where anyone else may hear you. The law protects only our reputa tions, not our feelings. A person who is slandered or libeled can bring a civil suit against the offender for damage to his or her repu tation. If the communication is such that it tends to provoke a breach of the peace, the offender may be prosecuted for criminal defamation and, if found guilty, fined an amount not to exceed $500 or imprisoned uptoayear, or both. Contrary to a widely held be lief, truth is not always an ab solute defense to a libel or slander suit. It is also requir ed that the truth be communi cated with good motives and for justifiable ends. For example, if you made a malicious state ment about a neighbor for the purpose of injuring his business you might be legally wrong even though the information was cor rect. On the other hand, if yeQ honestly report to the poHce that you believe your neighbor has committed a crime,you probably not guilty of slander, because you acted with a gdod motive and for a justifiable ejid. Similarly a physician is not; guilty of libel when he repofrta' to the public health department, that a patient has been treated; for a communicable disease.'
