By all means YES! If handled with judicious care, the ASUO-backed proposal to install an evaluation system of rating University professors could prove a valuable academic asset. Let's face it. Some professors are good. Some are not. Very often, we believe, professors are unaware of weaknes ses in their classroom presentations and techniques. Certainly in many cases, if. they were made aware of these shortcomings, they’d take steps to correct them. If they didn’t ? They’re not worth their salt and should look for another field. Because he is human a professor has his faults, just like you or I. But in most cases he is a highly intelligent fellow, and would be, we think, the first to admit that what his students think about him is extremely important. You see, a professor is a seeker of truth. But all his research and scholarship is worthless unless it can be imparted to others. So if he is not gettting his “truths” and findings across to his students wouldn’t he be the first to want to know? And who could tell him better than his students? Of course, we realize that there could be extreme dangers inherent in a system devised to grade professors. We therefore charge the ASUO with the job of giving their system all the safeguards necessary to prevent it from being “used” for petty ends. It MUST NOT be a weapon by which students can slander and villify professors simply because they failed to get good grades. Final Exam Schedule All sections of subject: EA 111,2,3. Eng 101,2,3 .-.

From Our Mailbag Letters to the Editor / To the Editor: President Raymond B. Allen has come out with some more “deep" thoughts. "The Commun ist Party,” he claims, “does not allow its members freedom in their search after the truth. Therefore, a member of the Com munist Party should not teach in colleges." These American members of the Communist party presumably hail freedom of choice before they joined the party. After all. they were free Americans. They chose quite freely between what they considered to be the alternatives —viz.

Associate F.litors: Time Goetae, Boblee Brophy, Diana Dye, Barbara Heywood Advertising Manager: Jean Miwraugh ism—and they decided that the latter had “the truth.” As free Americans they are free to change their minds. Sure ly there is no coercion on the part of the American government or the Russian Secret police forcing them to remain Communists. If they do so, it is clearly by choice that they follow the doctrine of the party. And if a free man, living in a free country comes to the con clusion that a certain doctrine has "the truth.” then surely he should be given an opportunity to propound his beliefs and to de fend his conclusions. Or is this not a free country? L. John Martin With the Legislators BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Salem The people will vote in Novem ber, 1950, on whether they want to pay their legislators $1,200 a session, instead of the $400 they now get. The senate voted 22 to 8 yes terday for a proposed constitu tional amendment to raise their pay. It already had been approved by the house. Now it goes back to the house for consideration of minor senate amendments. Some supporters of the bill said the current pay scale is “cre ating the legislature as a rich man’s club” because a poor man can’t afford to serve. Opponents of the bill said they were sure the people would defeat it. * * * The house gave tentative ap proval 32 to 27 of a proposed constitutional amendment to give Multnomah county two state senators, and give all other coun ties either one senator or let them share a senator with another county. The measure, which would de prive Multnomah county of four senators, was introduced by Re{y J. F. Short, Redmond, and Sen. Philip S. Hitchcock, Klamath Falls. The house vote overturned the election committee’s recommen dation that the measure be de feated. Washington Rep. Klein (D-NY) yesterday introduced a bill to establish the “joint commission on the West Attention Living Organizations YOUR OWN WRIST WATCH WILl PROVE THE ECONOMY OF THE BOILERS Next time your boiler goes on, see how long it takes before the radiators get hot!
