This puts Oregon institutions in the lower one third. Moreover, the salary level for full pro fessors is slightly lower at the T’niversi'ty of Oregon than at Oregon State college. The most common full professor’s salary at Eu gene is $.'1,000. There are only eleven out of the fifty-six state supported institutions with a salary scale lower than the Univer sity of Oregon. There is not a single first rate university with a salary scale that falls anywhere .near as low as that of tin; T’ni versity of'Oregon. Competition for outstand ing men oti the I’uiversity faculty opens up the possibility of losing the best men. If Oregon is to maintain an institution with prestige and capacity to serve the state, Oregon must watch the salary inducements offered by competing institutions in the same class and within the same area. One Man’s Opinion -Rv Stivers Vernon - WE have discovered with something of a shock, that spring is here. We can't he wrong. The itch in our pedal extremeties is posi tively unmistakable. In common with the rest of humanity, the coming of spring gives us a mighty urge to go somewhere. It doesn't make any difference where -—anywhere just to be going. From now on it is going to be most difficult to sit in classes and stare out the window. We will remember that the sap is rising in the trees. (Maybe the sap is arising in us as well.) We will recall other spring seasons when the McKenzie ran at flood as the winter snows in the high country melted down. Then we will remember that we are living in Oregon where the springtime offers more beauties than anywhere else in the world and we will be darned glad we are alive and that we live in such a country. Springtime comes again to a troubled world. We have been telling ourselevs for five years now that “by spring, things will be a lot better.” And when spring comes "things” are just as bad as ever. The only difference is that people can’t be as cold and miserable during the warmer seasons. Nor as hungry, because many foods are cheaper. What we can’t realize is that spring or no spring, the only thing that can improve conditions is a fuller realization of the responsibilities of being alive of the responsibilities of every man toward his fellow man. Until we come to this realization there will always be depressions and wars and suffering. “Aha,” says someone. “You’ve been to church again.” Don't be silly. The churches are as far from this ideal as anyone. And anyhow, what difference does it. make if the idea is sponsored by churches or by the Inter-Fraternity Council'! The principle is the same and we’ll all have to come to it. Yes, it’s a troubled world. We have plenty of troubles of our own right here in the HOME OF THE BRAVE. We can't be bothered with the rest of the world. But we must! Across the seas the other' members of the family of nations are having their troubles too. Spring or no spring it’s all the same. Italy and little Abyssinia are still growling at each other i across the wastes of Somoliland. They will prob ably keep on growling at each other. Germay likes it because it takes Italy's attention away from troubled Austria upon which she has de signs. France doesn't care much. The fracas re moves the strong hand of Mussolini to other fields. England “just sets” and says nothing but she's thinking plenty. She’s no fool, is old Eng land. Japan and Russia are comparatively safe as long as the swamps of Siberia are open. Look for trouble there when the big freeze is on and armies can operate over the frozen terrain. Down in South America Bolivia and Peru are ! still at it. They don't care what time it is they j still fight over that ehunck of desolation known as the Gran Chaco. They remind us of two fighting cocks we once saw in a joint in Mexicali. Everybody waits till they are about exhausted and then goads them on with fresh shipments of supplies and munitions. It’s a troubled world all right. Just as long as newsies fight over customers on a street corner, just that long will the powers squabble between themselves in the world at large. But after all, it's spring up the McKenzie. The government and the powers will just have to struggle along without us for a little while. __ The Passing Show the JvKt Ki n iM. i:\ u, in t aijfokni.v rpHK Association of American Colleges inis A joined the movement against the recruiting evil in collegiate athletics. Four college presidents are reported as having decided that a fullback is, after all, a student entitled to nothing more from his university than the flat chested youth major ing in Romance languages. One of those funning the committee on re cruiting which prepared the report, was the presi dent of Knox College, "Dear Old Siwash," which does not recruit, and which has not won a football 1 game in yarns. Being a martyr to the cause. Knox is well qualified to discuss the situation. The recruiting evil grew to unprecedented proportions in 193-}, says the report, agreeing with the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which recently laid down a Code of Fair Cotnpe ! tit ion in an effort to check the practice. 1 Down in Los Angeles, the sports editor of the : Times anticipates a recruiting scramble on the Pacific coast tins year that will end in a major scandal. He declares; "Were going to have the maddest scramble in the history of the state this summer. Last year things were pretty quiet . . . so quiet that California grabbed practically all the good boys. "This summer the btg scramble will be be tween the Trojans anil those noble ljedskins front around I’ulo Alto.

The Day’s Parade _____ By Parks Hitchcock__ i Soviet Suggestion QNE of the most acute and im portant statements made in ah the recent hallabaloo on the sub ject of disarmament is that of the Russian delegate to the new inter national disarmament conference M. Ventzoff. Private Supervision? He claims that the mere pres ence of national representatives at disarmament conferences is insuf ficient; private armorers should be represented and controlled. "We must know what is going on behind closed doors” he declares. "If war is to be dealt a mortal blow, the world must know everything about | war industries capital invest | ments, new equipment, increase in | workmen and maximum possible I output." Two-faccd Policy 1 The Soviet representative fur | flier contends that nations which I sign disarmament treaties and pacts similar to those of Locarno and Washington limit the official arming of governmental forces while they smile upon the prepa ration for war by private enter prises. An Important Point M. Ventzoff's distinction is a. just enough one, and one which is properly advanced by his own country; Russia’s business inter ests are so closely identified with the government that whatever mil itary preparations are going on in that country would undoubtedly be those of the Soviet, and would con stantly be represented by available figures. The capitalistic nations, however, allow of a dual path for militarization. Thus while the army and its direct adjuncts would be held under control, ostensibly giving a promise of peace, the mu nitions interests under the control of private capital would be laying up immense and unascertainable supplies. An Knd to Hypocrisy! It is indeed time that the na tion's of the world should come out In the open. A frank denial of any intention to disarm would at least be more desirable than the constant dissembling and evasive acquies cence that characterizes practical ly every current disarmament con ferences. Our own senate investigations, although they have only scratched the surface, are eminently desira j ble and should receive the closest attention from that part of the I public that is sincerely interested in putting a stop to war. The Curious Cult “Nice People in a Nice Way.” SCOTT T. GEORGE Almost blonde, blue-eyed, was working hard on a journalism assignment when the Curious One came upon him. He is, he stated shyly, a journalism major and he was no more annoyed by the fact than was Young Bruin who has tried dili gently to find someone who isn't: Scott was born in Portland, Feb ruary 29, 19U> (this is not a mis print; it seems every four years there is an extra day in February to compensate for a fluctuation of something or other astronomical). Scott likes to read and enjoys j very much biographies of ex-kings i and queens. In addition, he said that, while it probably is frowned j upon in the best circles, he DOES like almost any popular novel (a fact which makes him a really human person). He has played baseball, won a letter at Jefferson high in Portlan I and enjoys ice-hockey. From this combination of sports abilities, it would seem Scott must be a brawny, aggressive individual, but I on the contrary, he is quiet, self contained, assured and very, like able. It's exceptional to find someone ; who doesn't manufacture a hobb\ 1 for Young Bruin, but Scott said . “I don't know that I've got anj (Please turn to page 3. i Answers (1) \melia Karhart.

Go It Jim! Again I See In Fancy . ■ By Frederic S. Dunn — _ j The First Triumvirate On the Faculty Save for the weekly sessions (or oftener) when they met to pass on excuses for absences, or to sus pend some unlucky culprit, or to authorize “Sec'y Fac'y" to write an admonitory epistle to some fond parent, the members of the orig inal faculty were not very entre nosly inclined. Their individual in clinations were like radii from a common focus eccentric, not con centric. There were no pals in that first group. It was quite noticeable, therefore, when the coming of Prof. Benj. J. Hawthorne in 1884 to the Campus introduced the first evidence of any real fellowship among members of j the Faculty. Johnson and Haw j thorne immediately became chum I my. me causes are not at an myste rious, but readily recognizable. These two found themselves com panions through paths of similar tastes, both being members of the Democratic party, both highest of ficials in the same fraternal or ganization, both having a trend to ward association with their fel low men instead of professional isolation, neither of them too great ly inclined to scholastic productiv ity, neither of them conspicuously religious. In all these respects, they found themselves distinctly differentiated from the rest of the faculty. Doctor Hawthorne, as he long afterwards came to be, though we always cheerfully called him “Buck” or “B. J.,” or even “Blue Jay,” first lived in the east end of town, conveniently near the University, on Ferry Street between 12th and 13th. But the President early induced him to purchase property near his own in the far west end of Eugene, on the corner of 4th and Lawrence. The Johnson home, conspicuous for its multitude of the old style “up and down” shutters, is still standing, though much in need of attention, but the Hawthorne house has been dismantled since the heirs have moved away. The lot is a lone some vacancy. The two would lak those two miles to the University every morn ing, J. W. with a lunch pail B. J. with a little basket on his arm and muffler slung about his neck. Someone on watch at one of the Dcady windows would sing out, “Here come ,T. W. and Buck,” and we would be models of studi ousness on their arrival. Faculty acquisition of E. B.
