Here at College 70 pep cent is ten pergentage points above passing. And in refer ence to faculty salaries which were recently set at 70 per cent for the months of July and August, the same comparison is applicable. This figure is considerably above passing and yet not perfect. Virith. carefully planned budgets and schedules muddled in the rush of the accelerated program, the Administration has tackled the problem of faculty salaries and has emerged with a com mendable answer when compared to similar solu tions reached by other college and university ad ministrations all over the country. Back in January, administrative and faculty circles were strongly agreed that Penn State should adopt the speed-up plan as its contribu. Lion, to the war effort. They went ahead and made plans for everything except the matter of staff salaries. Hardly could they plan for this when one of the main sources of income, student fee payments, was unestimatible. However, they all knew that enrollment would certainly drop off and with it salaries would have to follow. Con sequently they agreed upon a 'plan whereby sal aries would . be set in proportion to student en rollment and fee income as soon as this could be— determined. Now that proportion has determined the 70 per cent figure. Only through cutting corners and 'raiding hoarded reserves has the Administration been able to make July and August salaries this high. Heavily endowed . schools of the East and at least one large state university in the mid-West are requesting their Summer staff to continue :without any additional compensation. And in numerable institution's faculties are to be paid at rates of 40 to 50 per cent. It is 'true that few are getting a rate better than 70 per cent. Although this figure may not wholly equal the carning . power of the faculty during July and .Augusto'f other years,.it certainly is a favorable compensation and more Than meets the staff half way in this mutual problem. , On our grade, sheet the administration rates a "3." We believe in marking .on a curve. Nittany Honor Roll A FORMER Penn State graduate, has been ap pointed 7th Armored Division Athletic Officer at !Camp Polk,.La. He is Lt. Frank V.

Penn State has begun to get the idea that this country is at war. Members of the dean of wo men's office went the rounds at sorority meet ings Monday night and reminded sorority women that this was war. Now that coeds are on the in, we'd like to put forth a couple of inches on the subject. Coeds were told that Miss Ray 'had a list of de fense organizations that could use some of their spare money, if any. And we're saying that since everyone knows this is war, maybe a daily coke really isn't essential.' The same thought could be applied to cigarettes, new nail polish, and sun tan lotion. (We have to give the women credit for not wearing stockings, but we think the sun would do just as good a jdb as that artificipl stuff.) We're On The Beam— And that ain't all. The College draft commit tee is dding its best to see that students finish college before they're drafted. This seems like a good incentive for them to take this business of getting an education seriously. We've noticed that there has been more than the usual amount of class-cutting this Summer, and we're hoping that from here on in students won't allow a little thing like the weather to keep them from realiz ing that this is a war we're in. As far as we can see, the profs haven't been cutting classes lately. Not much, anyway. Through the accelerated program, cuts in salar ies, gas rationing, and rise in food prices, they've peen pretty good eggs. We've seen some of them putting their cars into garages, hitching up their sons' bicycles, and hitting the road for their clasSes. (They walk when it rains. They also walk when the kid wants the (bicycle.) Let's Stay There— What we're getting at is this: Everyone has been helping students to get through the Suminer semester and to get college degrees before the draft interferes. And we're hoping that they'll take advantage of it. This means celebrating the Fourth of July, not by going home three days early, but by attending classes until 5 o'clock Friday. The profs won't be cutting, boys and girls. Tthey know that this is war. So don't let them down.„ Obviously, we don't believe that this can be repeated too often: Attend classes, cut down on superfluous activities, support defense projects, and keep in the sun.
