Assistant Professors . 2,100

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?

Again I See In Fancy

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.
The Curious
Cub
“Worthwhile people in a nice way/’
Young Bruin, wandering over
the campus, came upon someone
who asked him what a cub is. A
u. - — -*-1— <>£ ojroioo, is what
city editors call beginning- journal
ists (and a journalist is a reporter
out of a job).
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.”
