Friday, April 1, 1938 AQMINISTRATION MATHEMATICS .IUST RECENTLY THE LOCAL chapter of the American Association of University Professors pro* pared a report on the salaries of the professors ami instructors in this College to be published in the alum ni monthly, “Penn State Altmmi News.” This re port. we are told, showed very positively that the sal- aries of the professors and instructors of this Col lege were far below the level of other [ami grant in- stitutions. This original report, however, will not he published. Instead, the ’authorities of the College have suggested io the committee- making it that it Ije “revised." Why is it neeesary to revise a report based on the actual figures supplied by the administration? The men in the committee have been working on the figures for most of the year and they know' and understand 'how to repri-SL*nL them graphically to show’ the true position of the snlaiy 'levels ns compared to the other The alumni do not know of this change of plan, we suspect, that when they see the report in the month ly publication, it will lie very pretty. Perhaps too pretty! Only in the financial report of the College can one get even an idea of what the maximum and mini mum levels are. But in tins report, we understand, Lhe whole sii.u- al ion is not given. .Students and -alumni should visit the Library ami peruse the jumbled figures of this statement. It is »n- icresting to note how much the department of Public Information receives as compared to-the Library. An other eye opener is the bond Jis.t, u’hieh includes some South American beauties from which the most nnhc of bond purchasers A noteworthy item is the amount of money the Lib- oral Arts school receives, a large sum in itself but when one consider its 111 'instructors ami over 1,15(1(1 students il becomes trifling. The people of the State are interested in the College and Jiave sjiow.it their interest by their support. It is now 1 the College’s duty to play fair with the instruct ors and students giving the former a living wage, and tile latter, good educational facilities in all schools. flood teaching can never result from underpaid in- struetors and until the College sees to it that the in- structors are adequately remunerated, then the College is not fulfilling its duty as a steward of the State's money.—T. A. B. THE NEW RUSHING CODE JNTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL IS to he congrat- ulated for having put into effect a rushing’ code that* is revolutionary, different, and sensible. Thomas Moore, (lie Oimnoirs rushing chairman, is to be congratulated for his solution of a problem that Inlerfraternity Coun cils have been shutting their eyes to for years. The code adopted Tuesday night w'ill take the bunk out of rushing: and place it on a common sense level. Fraternity men will save time,'money, nerves, and col or under this new system that eliminates the. old back slapping, back-kniving system under which no remedy for violations could he enforced. It him been known for several years that the rush ing corle needed’some such violent change as is reported on Page 1 today, but no one before this year’s Council look office was willing to tackle the job. Interfraternity Council’s’ changed attitude in this matter and in its effort to improve Interfraternity Ball has violated every Council tradition of he past by snap ping from its lethargy to become a forceful and worth while organization. YOU, TOO, BENITQ AS PREMIER BENITO Mussolini warned the world tins week of Italy's great war machine, he boasted, “We may sleep with peaceful dreams.” That will be a neat trick if you can do it, Benito. Alexander wept at night, Napoleon saw the ghosts, and Hitler is Europe’s unhappiest man. What hope Literally Speaking Ed Chapman, Delta Sig, certainly has something that the majority of Werner’s Lit. o class lacks. When asked by the well-known cynic how “Heins oui” would be translated, Chapman admitted that he wasn’t sure but it looked like "Hell, yes."
