Retirement Plans For University of Oregon Professors Explained Puzzle Bothering Campus Pedagogs Solved By DeCou Pension System Provides for Rise in Pay and Small Payments Into Insurance Fund The Emerald is publishing the following graphic explanation of the workings of the pension system for professors, which is now in use at Oregon, to bring before the students and faculty the facts surrounding the retirement plan. 1 In* worried look has gone from the face of the prof. It lias heen replaced, however, by a puzzled look. £ The Oregon faculty members owe it to President Hall that they are no longer worried about the possibility of going to the poor-house when they are too old to teach. There is now. for the first time, a pension system which assures all those who are willing to join the plan and who will contribute part of the cost from their salaries, that they shall receive a modest annuity in tlieir declining years. But this is what is puzzling some of them: The talk was that this annuity was to amount to about half of the professor's pres ent pay. Yet, when the profes sors received their policies this month from the Teachers Insur ance and Annuity Association, some were for about half pay, It while others were for far, far less. Just as President Hall removed the worried look, the purpose of this article is to remove the puz zled look. Facts Cited These are the facts, according to Professor Edgar E. DcCou, mathematician: If a professor is under 45 years old, the policy he holds tells the whole story. His salary was in creased 5 per cent to induce him to take out this policy, he has it, and he will pay in premiums for exactly what he will get in an nuity. There is no more coming to him for the simple reason that he will need no more; he has got it all; he is still young enough to accumulate sufficient protection by the retiring age. If the professor is over 45 years, however, his policy looks distress ingly small to him. It is small. ^ Ho is too old to begin now and accumulate through monthly pay ments enough to retire on. The policy represents only what he can pay for. But in his case, the plan is that there shall be an additional contribution, supplied mostly by the Carnegie Founda tion, but partly by the University, to put the older man as nearly as possible on an equality with his younger colleague. These addi tional contributions do not show on the policies. i Annuities Explained When all parts of the plan arc j finally effectuated, the retiring ^ annuities will work out as fol lows: The professor aged 37 and un der will retire at the age of 65 with about half a salary. The professor aged 41 and un der will retire at 68 with about half a salary. The professor of 42 and over, if he has been with the university 25 years, will retire at 70 with { about half a salary. The professor of 42 and over, if he has been with the Univer sity 20 years, will retire at 70 with the amount of his policy plus four fifths of the difference be tween that and half his salary. Will Retire at 70 The professor of 42 and over who has been with the University 15 years will retire at 70 with the amount of his policy plus three fifths of the difference between that and half his present salary. The professor of 42 and over who has been with the University 10 years will retire at 70 with the amount of his policy plus two fifths of the difference between that and half his present salary. The professor of 42 and over who has been with the University 5 years will retire at 70 with the ’ amount of his policy plus one fifth j of the difference between that and 4 half his present salary.

The grand old dope barrel re ceived but one thorough shake-up" during the third day of intra mural basketball play. Sigma Nu was waylaid by the Sherry Ross gang, but the rest of the favored teams came through with vic tories. The S. A. E. team kept their record clean by taking Sigma Phi Epsilon into camp, 39 to 19. Red Roberts, S. A. E. center, who ran wild Tuesday night, failed to keep up his scoring spree, sinking but one basket yesterday. Boyle stole the individual honors with eleven points to his credit. The tussle was the fastest staged yesterday at McArthur court. Long shots, spectacular spills, and all-around fast work kept the spectators wide awake. Sherry Ross rudely upset the dope bucket by trouncing Sigma Nu, 19 to 14, in a hard-fought battle. The ball changed hands often during the first half with neither team managing to do much toward boosting the score. Sigma Nu led, 8 to 7, at half time. Throwing in three new men in the third quarter, Sherry Ross steadily forged ahead with five baskets compared with two for Sigma Nu during that quarter. McCue struck the range with two beautiful goals during the rally. Fast hoop play featured the third round tilts on the court of the men's gym, when the Kappa Sigma five downed the Gamma Hall boys by a score of 30 to 9. The initial half was much closer than the score indicates, but faulty shooting by the Hall boys demoralized their team and the Kappa Sigs ran up a commanding lead in the final sessions. Palmer and Worth stood out for the win ners while Jacobs played out- ! standing ball for Gamma Hall.

Sphinx, Zeta Win The Sphinx quintet walloped Alpha Upsilon, 39 to 5, on the north court of the Igloo. It was a game of upsets, each Sphinx player hitting the floor at least four times. Despite the over whelming margin. Sphinx missed many cripples and performed worse in general than in their last game with Omega hall. Zeta hall took Friendly down the line, 20 to 12, in a ragged fray in which Zeta took an early lead by virtue of accurate shooting by Emery and Boring holding it safe throughout. Friendly sent in four substitutes in an effort to stage a rally but only Allan responded with a pair of ringers. RUSSIAN-CHINESE RELATIONS SUBJECT (Continued from Page One) Economic penetration by Russia v/as accomplished by means of the Chinese Eastern railway, which in its early days was Russian-con trolled. “Before the war,” he summed up the situation, “China had spited Japan by signing away privileges to Russia. The Russians and the Japanese were eyeing each other over China, whom they both con sidered inferior.” The conference of 1924, he con tinued, gave the Chinese and the Russians equal control of the rail road nominally but not actually. The seizure of the road in May of this year by Chinese officials was the final step in the affair. Warren D. Smith of the depart ment of geology suggested that the railroad might be internation alized so that all three countries could use it to their mutual ad vantage. “But the League of Nations has a poor standing in the East," com mented Dr. Barnes. “Why not internationalize the Panama canal?” asked Wayne Woodmansee, history student. Russian propaganda in Asia is nationalistic, while in the west it is communistic, it was noted in the discussion that followed. That China is counting on the sympathy of France and England and Japan because of the communistic bogie and that she is expecting the cri sis to strengthen the government at Peking were suggested. John R. Mez, professor of eco nomics, will lead the discussion at the next meeting on the subject of French and German industrial rapprochement. Avery Thompson, president of the group, appointed the following committees: membership, John Cox, chairman; John R. Mez and Mary Klemm; entertainment, Verne Blue, Mildred McGee; Frank Shimizu, librarian. The University of Pennsylvania is erecting four new buildings at an approximate cost of $1,400,000.
