PAGE TWO, HIGHER 'SALARIES The war is over and with the coming of fall, renn State goes back to a peacetime program. And now the subject of an increase in salaries for teachers has come up and the opposition is strong. Collegian stands for a better Penn State arid a better Penn State necessitates keeping the teaching staff on a high plane. No teacher, no matter how loyal a Penn Stater, will work for nothing nor is he or she apt to refuse a position with another col )ege or university which promises a substantial io'ay increase. In this, the post-war world, education is going to be a large factor in determining the future. The Prien who delayed their education to tight for a better world are now returning to their tardy studies. Tt is only fair that these veterans should be given the best that teachers have to offer, BUT that best will not be available unless something is done about increasing the salaries of such teachers. 'There is a greater demand for instructors new than ever in the history of this country, and at the same time more teachers are leaving the teaching field for better paid professions. What teacher of busi ness education will continue to teach when he can make twice the salary in the business practice? • How often is it heard among students, "Teach?? I'll do anything .21se?" And the reason for this atti tude? There's no money in it. From the beginning of time students and teachers have been rated rather low on the economic scale—in early London such students as Roger Bacon were scorned. But is thi. country, noted - for its scientific advance ment,. to remain medieVal in its educational out look? With more prospedtive students than ever, there must be more teachers than ever, and the only way to make the teaching profession appealing is to make!the wages inviting. Truly, the way to a bet ter Penn State and to a' better peaceful world is education and without teachers, there can be no education.

They're going to be one of those scarce items.), And then there's the story about the coed who cut her finger on the water pump out at Whipple's Dam. Worried that the rusty pump may have in fected the wound, she hitch-hiked tack to town and went to doctor. Latest report is that her finger feels fine, but the tetanus- injections which she received gave her two large lumps on her arms about three inches in diameter: Incongruity: the bandage on her finger is so, so small. One prof keeps his class interested by giving his Students a ten-minute recess in the middle of the period. Just a s ubtle hint for those who don't.

It •appears !that students come. and studenits.go but Schoolteadhers always come back &or more. In addition, they 'have definlite ideas as to what they like best about Perm State. In 'a recent survey, 'l4 of the 16 teachers queStioned liked! the campus better than anything else at the College. They commented on everything from the numerous tennis counts Ito the ample sup plies of grass, and from intereSt ing professors to well-styled buildings, architecturally , speak ing. In , short, the schoolteachers at the 'College during the 'Summer Session might 'be walking ladver tisements,'with such talk gas "sim ply beautiful campus," "Where did you ever find all those trees?" and even a comment about Whip ple's Pam as "the perfedt location for a 4wimming place." What is remarkable about these itinerant schoolmarn - us its the fact that at leaot 'half of those tinter vlwed look like coeds. They get .a kiak cut of wearing college clothes, las they call iplayshoes .and shorts, ,and .What' is more they enjoy dating the same boys that coeds date. •. • Li'l Rebel Mary Jane Richmond uses •her Termes:r.:e drawl. to ;Call Penn State's the preibtiest p iipus she lies• eyer seen., See likes (the. fact that the :billidkings , are all close •togetlher.
