kvt , 1 11 iet ass istinctions
ETC e • r se of U.S.
By TONY FOGLIO
Although the Soviet Union is
a Communist state with a theo
retically classless society, the
tJS-R ac•tii;,lly has more class
dr.tinction than the United Slali2s,
Jo;, ' , ph Mat in, professor and head
of the Department of Engineering
~ aid yesterday.
Vial in, who recently returned
front a seven-week around-the
world lecture tour which includ
ed three weeks in the Soviet
Union, told the Faculty Luncheon
Club that this distinction was es
pecially evident in the teaching
and military professions.
IN CONNECTION with this
stratification, Marin said that a
Russian professor who teaches in
a state university and who con
duct ; research experiments may
inal:e a salary as much as 10 times
that of a Russian plumber. In the
United Stales, the ratio of the two
salaries may be as low as 2-to-I,
lie said.

Marin added that the American
plumber who works for more
than $4 an hour may equal or
surpass the salaries given some
professors, especially those in
large universities and colleges.
The engineering mechanics head
also said that, the Soviet system
of incentives and a genuine desire
and eagerness to learn have made
the country's educational pro
gram a success,
HE SAID that he learned of a
$70.000 grant which the Com
munist government gave to a Kiev
professor who had recently writ
ten a book on his research en
deavors.
Marin said that two Soviet col
leagues had told him that "they
had never had it so good" while
the late Premier Josef Stalin was
in power.
The incentives -apply to stu
dents as well as to faculty mem
bers, Marin said. He said that the
government awards scholarships

mum of six second-round sessions.

In comparing university admin
istrators in this country and in
the Soviet Union, Marin said that
he would prefer the Russian sys
tem.
He related the story of the head
of Mechanics Institute of the Rus
sian Academy of Sciences. This
administrator is in charge of a
400-man staff and continues his
research work, Marin said. When
Marin asked him how he managed
to accomplish both jobs, Marin
said the Russian told him that he
uses three days each week for his
research projects.
Marin also reported that the
Soviet people have not gotten the
benefits of Russia's progress. "It
is surprising to see some of the
primitive, drab and inefficient
man-made surroundings in Rus
sia,"
he said.
MARIN attributed this incon
sistency to the fact that "the So
viet Union is concentrating most
of its efforts in specific areas,
such as space technology and mili
tary equipment." Government at
tempts to improve living condi
tions are limited by its desire "to
control the lives of the people,"
he said.
