Other most common current salaries Joe tlie University of Oregon are as follows; Deans $8,300 Associate Professors 2,800 Assistant Professors . 2,100 Instructors . I i(joo It will he noted that the thirty four slate supported institutions arranged in rank order according to the. level of salaries, gives the University id" Oregon twenty eighth place. 1'here are hut live state universities with a lower salary level - Georgia. New .Mexico. Wyoming, .Mississippi, South Carolina and North Dakota. Not a single one of the five tailing below Oregon on the salary scale could la1 classed as even average in standing and reputation. They are found in the small er and Jess wealthy states and the univer sities, struggling against adverse conditions, are handicapped tor want ol equipment and mm of outstanding ability on their staffs. Moreover, it will he noted that all of the neighboring state universities mi the 1 acitie coast pay a higher level of salary than Oregon. Idaho is $170 above. Washing ton $713 above, California $1,1(50 and litII,' Nevada $1,330. Neighboring institutions can therefore, overbid us from $700 to $1800 on the full professor's salary and stand ready to entice ayvay our better men. From a single department at Kupene during the last year two outstanding men have been hired away —one to California and another to the Uni versity of Indiana. Indiana pays the full prolessor $1,375 more a year than the same rank pays at Oregon. Oregon must not drop from one of the highest academic standings among slate tiuiversifies into mediocrity. Kolainl Hay us liu turns JX the person uud talents of !Uol<iml Hayes then ti proof that art i: not partial to nationalities or races. While some have argued that his renditions of spirituals sur pass those of the elassies, none argues that he is not a sincere or accomplished artist. Eugene and the University know Mr. Hayes well. His concert last year drew the biggest crowd that ever attended a musical event in McArthur court—the second largest crowd to attend any event held there. His program, which is scheduled for to night, will be entirely different from the one which he gave last year, except probably l that he will repeat the ever popular spirit uals which he must always sing before his i audiences are satisfied. Jt would indeed be unnecessary to urge j students and townspeople to hear Mr. Hayes } in this final concert of the A. >S. lT. (). series. His glorious v his personality, his teeh nkpie completely won all who heard him last year. It is only to h • hoped that tin; listeners who crowd McArthur court tonight will be attentively quiet and remain in their seats ■while they applaud for the encores after the concert is over—in short, display the court esies for this famed artist which were denied Mr. Heifetz and Mr, Hofmann. One Man s Opinion r~i~-1-' By Stivers Vernon - /\NE of the greatest tragedies of our time is ^ that which places political string pullers in a position to control the destinies of institutions Adiieh are fundamentally non-political. A thousand examples might be sited through out the nation at large. This however, is not nec essary. All we need to do is to take a little trip around the capitol city of this state to realize how completely and unscrupulously the political machines operate. Take the present bill which would cause an thropological relics to remain in this state. Any one can see that this is a bill of interest to Oregonians as a whole, without regard to polit ical affiliation, race, color, creed or previous con dition of servitude. And yet, up pops a gentleman from Polk county who has political debts to pay and gums the works by introducing issues that make the matter a quarrel between the two state institutions of higher education. To say that the matter is lamentable is putting it lightly. Naturally, our own interest in the Uni versity makes us hope that the relics—if any will be brought to this campus after they have been unearthed. This is strictly a partisan attitude and should be recognized as such. The truth of the matter is that it makes not a whit of differ ence where the relics are kept as Jong as they remain in (he state. This attitude would assume, of course, that neither university would receive benefits of this sort to the complete exclusion of the other. In other words, il. would obviously be unjust for one campus lo pile up a huge museum of any sort, while the other was neglected. Senator Dean Walker, who leads the opposi tion to the bill—Senate Dill 265—and speaks for compromise, is undoubtedly acting according to cm- 11auitiim or poiirn-s. rie'rs srfTarening the duck of his constituency so they will scratch his when it itches. Vs a general thing, the public is quite lenient with such political by-play. There seems to he no remedy for a system by which state legislators swap votes on individual pet measures. This in stance is one that is just a little too blatant to overlook. J<’or no reason whatever and with no conceivable grounds for ids action, Senator Walk er introduces (dements which tend to divide tin1 opinion of the state and its legislators rather than to permit them to present a united front on so important a subject. The whole thing is incred ibly silly. Willi the anthropological department definitely and firmly established ht> law on this campus, what earthly excuse could there he for maintaining relics of tiiis sort on the O. S. campus. We are not being pious. We would like to .see any relics which may be dug up brought to the Oregon campus. Our motives are no doubt the same as those of the Staters. Both campuses want such relics because they would be a definite asset lo whichever one had possession of them. If this campus could hope for a square shake at the hands of the state hoard it would be different. iSince this body is essentially political in char acter rather than non-partisan as il should be there is a very definite objection to leaving the matter in their hands. This campus has rights before the law which should be upheld. It is iegietable that such rights should be subordinated to political sculdugery. The Passing Show rKOTUt'T tiih ri(oi'i;.ssoH /K PROPOSAL to divert more of the millage of higher education to the g'eneral tax fund was recently reviewed and turned back for further consideration to the house ways and means com mittee by (inventor Martin, according to reports. Ihe committee is expected to have another recommendation by the middle of this week. Serious will lie the consequences if any further ieduction ot funds to the higher educational in stitutions is made. Reduction in income to the state system had been 41.2 percent in the year 1984-35 as compared to 1930-31. according to the biennial report of the state system of higher edu cation. Another reduction in salaries and income at i time when ail other salaries are going up may prove the determining factoi to move the 'csi ot our good professors who have stayed through a trying period. It would not be in keep ing with the times if the state should further reduce after all other government agencies have continually urged private industrv to pav greater wages. A condition in which a recent graduate of this institution, employed by the federal government on a job which requires only a fraction of the ability, is able to make a greater net salary than the president of this institution under whom he oinc studied, is indeed deplorable. Obviously the state must realize that it cannot keep those cm ' upl< tin pi at ii ■. . . ar( restored.—Oregon State Daily KaVometer. The Day’s Parade _ By Parks Hitchcock . . . The African Campaign JJIS most august majesty Emper or Haile Selassie, king of Eithi r pia, seems to want it made per | fectly clear that he is not pressing j the Italo-Ethiopian difficulties and I that he will accept any reasonable i treaty which does not embody th> ; payment of the indemnity demand ! ed by Mussolini. Minister States Case His latest statement, issued ; through Negradas Yesus, Ethio j pian charge d’affaires in Rome, re ! iterates his desire for peace and ] again states his country's plea of ! innocence. Says plenipotentiary yesus: “J have just received a let ter from the emperor in which he i .->wears on his dynasty that Ethio ; pia never made any aggressive , move toward Italy and never had j any such intention.” Italian Imperialism It is only too obvious that isolat ed Abyssinia has never made any decidedly overt move against Italy, it is likewise obvious that the pres ent African campaign which II Duce is preparing is decidedly or.e of aggression, but the attitude of every nation will probably be, ‘‘So What?” There are not enougl foreign countries who have capital invested in this remote and little - knov/n empire to support any strenuous resistance to the Italian imperialistic policy. Mo Aid From Outside Emperor Haile Selassie will have nothing to rely upon but his own guerilla warriors and the des erts which protect his country. There will hardly be any Euro pean nation who is interested enough to give chocolate-colored Haile Selassie support against the encroachment of the Italians. All Easy Job? But some astute critics are not so sure that the invasion and cap j lure of Addis Ababa will be so easy a stunt for the Italian detach ■ ments. One observer, a Turkish engineer who is familiar with the route an invading- army must pur sue to gain the Abyssinial capital, asserts that the Italians will be forced to march over miles of arid desert harassed on all sides by a nomadic army that is thoroughly at home in its environment. In ad dition to these difficulties in, vauers men must enter a mountain ous district whose craggy passes must be traversed before the val ley on the interior may be reached. Although Italy’s numbers will probably prevail, the fate that met many Italians the last time they attempted to slap Abyssinia down (before the war) cannot but bring shudders to every private in Mus solini's ranks. Over a hundred Italian soldiers were taken and eaten by savage tribes that fought under the Ethiopian flag. Students Protest .Compulsory Fees Kill tor, the Emerald: We, the undersigned, hereby wish to register a protest on the matter of optional student body fees. We are in favor of the optional feature, but do not care to back the Great Richard Neuberger on his road to further publicity. We feel that the question has been so com pletely obscured by the would-be domineering personality of the gentleman under discussion that the vital points upon which an issue of such paramount import ance to the student populations, present and future, have sunk to a secondary position. It would seem that, a student either gains or loses in direct pro portion to tlie amount of active in terest he takes in campus affairs. The five dollars is well invested but is often a barrier to those who might otherwise come to the cam pus and may feel the extra fifteen dollars involved in the year's bud get brings the investment to more than is financially possible. Although the five dollars is well invested, under existing conditions, we wonder if the student body has at any time thought to compare the benefits received under the op tional fee to the benefits which were received when censure in the form of boycott was impossible. We suggest that students in terested in this cause either force the esteemed publicity-hound to withdraw his "kindly" support, or that they organize independently ami put the matter through chan nels in a dignified manner, entirely eradicating the irritant which is now diverting attention from the major issue: SHALL WE, OH SHALL WE NOT HAVE OPTION AL STUDENT FEES? 15 U.

Jones Masters Mines and Tunes By Dick Wat kins Emerald Feature Editor YE MAIEB.-YU— In answer to a few inquiries, here's some cold dope on Isham Jones whose fine band is heard over the NBC for a half-hour .--pot each Tuesday night . . Jones hails from Coaltoivn, Ohio, and had to leave school to work in the mines , . . turning later, to music, he took it like a cluck to water and soon had mastered eight musical instruments . . . While touring throughout the mid-west with var ious bands, he composed the first of his numerous tunes, strangely enough, a march entitled “Soldiers of the Sea," and during the war. at training camp, he composed anothet successful march "You're in the Army Now," which since has been sung by millions of U. S soldiers . . . Jones is one of the few band leaders who actually creates his own tunes, in fact he won a wide reputation as a com poser. long before his orchestra achieved its present prominence and popularity . . .

Dunn - Oregon s Loss to Columbia The recent renunciation of the i name Columbia by the University down the river from the metropo lis, in order to be rechristened the University of Portland, is not the first time that Oregon has relin quished claim to a cherished possi bility. This latest resolution was at best inevitable, for Columbia University in New York City had long ago forestalled our Oregon ian institution in name and fame, and, anyway, it was but a return to a denominative originally owned by that abortive and unsuccessful attempt to remove Willamette to Portland. Meanwhile Oregon had long: since rorreited its rignt, howsoever sen timental and appropriate, to a Co lumbia University. And Eugene remembers with remorse the part it was fated to play in that melo drama. Eugene, but for a series ol disasters, would be the seat of Columbia University instead of the University of Oregon. By reason ot those disasters it may be plausi bly predicated that the latter is an outgrowth and successor of the original Columbia. Not only strangers just arriving, but long time residents as well are puzzled by the appellations “Col lege Hill'' and "College Crest," in a section of the city quite apart fiom the location of the Univer sity. Our former street cars were once labeled in very ambiguous style, and the present busses sti'l lead the unwary into error. But to delete the names now would be al most sacrilege, for College Hill, about where stands the Pmstine residence below the abandoned Mercy Hospital, was the site of thrice-doomed Columbia College. There are many who recall this early venture in higher education, when the recently organized vil lage of Eugene City found itself sponsoring a college under the aus pices of the Cumberland Presbyte rian Church. It was that sami missionary movement which dotted western Oregon with denomina tional colleges, coincidental with the same southern schismatic ele ment which founded Corvallis Col lege under the aegis of the Metho dist Episcopal Church, South. This was in 1850. the Civil War was! looming and sectional feeling was already becoming bitter. Persist ent rumor has it that rowdyism of northern adherents was responsi ble for the ultimate abandonment of the Enterprise. Two successive buildings were burned and the third was so overwhelmed with debt thereby incurred, that its construc tion was estopped. A high wind rolled its tin covering into a crum pled dump on the ground and its walls gradually tumbled into a scattered ruin. Many a time I have wandered out over that scattered heap of brick, where the wild oa: and timothy growing up over the debris obscured any semblance ot masonry. But older residents tell us that I the soul of old Columbia College. ^ where the “Poet of the Sierras" | scribbled verses on the bench' tops, never perished. that the cloak of “Uncle Pinkney" Hender son. its heroic president, never quite fluttered to the ground. The l■ Jiimunity had become aicti tomed to thinking college-wise and found j its reformed enterprise no novel matter by reason of the three Co lumbias that had gone before. And now we have lost a fourth time to Columbia. Next in the series THE GRAND FATHER OF CLOCKS ON THE CAMPUS.

BOB COLLINS, a music major, in his sophomore year, is a very in teresting- person to know. Every person who KNOWS him is his friend—which is saying a great deal. Bob was born in St. Louis, Missouri, June 21, 1910. He’s a very good musician and is not only an outstanding clarinet player, but has the ability to make both the saxaphone and piano get up and walk. In addition to these three instruments, which are considered a very fair number, he is studying violin. He likes scientific articles “if they aren't too deep,” he said. “I don’t do a lot of reading, but for relaxation, I enjoy the works of Alexander Dumas—some of them.” (Please him to page three) Arrow Shorts won 7 grow shorter Hie law of diminishing returns holds no terror for Arrow Sanforizcd-Shrunk Shorts.
