Newburn Finds European Profs Free
•«cuaemic freedom in a deep
rooted tradition in the universities
of Italy, France and England,
i* what the professor does is his bus
1 iness, in spite of the large number
of state grants and supports that
the institutions of higher education
receive," University President H.
, K. Newburn stated Thursday night
In the Student Union Dad's lounge.
'Speaking to approximately 150
persons, most of them faculty
members, Newburn added that the
English professor enjoys an espec
ially unique position in regard to
freedom, both in the class room
and in his out of class activities. I
Unlike France and Italy where
the professor must teach state pre
scribed courses, the English pro
fessor may teach a course in the
way he wishes without any fear
of possible government interfer
ence.
Machinery is Available
In the other two nations the ma
chinery for government interven- j
tion in higher education is avail
able, Newburn said, but so far!
the tradition of freedom has pre
vailed.
The full professor in all three j
countries has a far greater hand
in the administrative policies of j
his institution, the president com
mented. The administrative heads
of the institutions are not appoint
ed for life, but for shorter periods
of time, often as little as three
years.
"The position of administrative
head of an institution is not con
sidered so much an honor as a duty
to be shared with one's colleagues,”
he added. At the end of the period
of duty the professor returns to
his teaching duties.
Shortage Found
A serious shortage of professors
is found in France and Italy where
the number of full professors per
missable in an institution is pre
scribed by the state. With the per
iod of increased enrollment follow
ing the war, institutions have come
to depend more and more upon
part time staff members.
Even full professors in these
countries must often seek ways to
augment their meager salaries,
Ncwburn commented. Often a pro
fessor will give extra lectures for
additional salary, accept positions
from two or more institutions at
at the same time, cV receive fees
from students for extra instruc
tion.
“Salaries are relatively good in
England,” he added, “with thoso
engaged in the basic medical set
ences especially well paid.” Annual
and recurrent awards from the na
tional health service arc made to
full professors in clinical medicine.
This is necessary, he said, “to
make their salaries comparable to
what they would receive as spe
cialists outside the academic
world.”
“Specialized medicine has not
unduly hurt this group,” the ad
ministrator commented.
“The full professor in the three
countries is highly regarded by his

Freshmen Lose
'Free' Phones
At Vet's Dorm
Freshman men in the Veter- i
ans’ dormitories lost the use of!
4 their free telephones today in a
move to put the dorms back on a
sound financial footing, Si Elling- 1
* son, counselor for men, stated.
A move which had been dis
cussed for "quite some time," El
’ lingson said that it was made nec
essary because of the large un
paid toll telephone bills which had
* been charged to the dorm phones.
■ According to Ellingson, one hall
, had, between Jan. 1 and March
r 15. run up a bill of $115. Another
I hall has had over $200 in toll calls
charged to it since last September.
* Bill Payment Advised
^ When asked how long the phones
would remain disconnected, El- :
lingson replied "I don't know. It
» all depends on how we come out
, in collecting the unpaid bills from 1
■» the men." If the bills are not paid
• by the students who made the
t calls, the amount owed by the
dorm will be pro rated among the
rnen and taken out of the general
* deposit. "We sincerely hope we
don't have to do this,” Ellingson !
* emphasized.
There is no problem in the up
* perclass dorms about the free
l phones, he said. He also pointed
] out that this is not an attempt to
put pay phones back in campus
» living organizations.
Phone Duty Planned
* Before the phones were discon
nected, an attempt was made by
* the counselors and hall officers to
work out a system to collect the
^ tolls from the men. The only oth
er solution which the group
reached was to place a man on
phone duty in the halls, Ellingson
said. He added that most of the
* freshmen realize that this is the
< only "way out."
* The halls are still being served
by pay phones.
' Campus Clothes OK
For Terrace Dance
*> Spring term’s first Terrace
^ dance is slated from 9 to 12 to
night on tlie Student Union ter
race. The dance will be held in
m the fishbowl if it rains, accord
ing to Jackie Steuart, SU dance
chairman.
Campus clothes are in order
for the “drag or stag” dance,

Brittain Definitely Out;
Replacement Pending
Bob Brittain, junior class pres
ident, informed the Kmerald
Thursday night that he definite
ly Is seholastieally Ineligible to
hold his office.
A8UO Pres. Fat Dignan is
waiting for a constitution com
mittee ruling on class office re
placements before deciding how
to fill the vacant presidency.
Dignan could not be reached by
phone for comment.
Class Vice Pres. Tom Shep
herd was appointed by Dignan
earlier in the week to the tern
porary chairmanship of Junior
Weekend, a post also held by
Brittain. The ASL'O constitution
provides only that the senate
shall fill vacant class offices in
any way it chooses; the vice
president does not automatically
become president.
Campus First
Ballot 'Faulty'
Says AGS Head
Jack Faust, Associated Greek
students president, expressed op
position to an all-campus primary
election at a meeting of a special
ASUO committee to investigate
the possibilities of initiating such
a primary under ASUO sponsor
ship.
"The method of putting names
on the ballot is faulty," Faust
said. "Such a system would result
in an overcrowding of the ballot
and make consideration of candi
dates difficult for the voter.’’ Ho
referred to the stipulation in the
plan being considered that all per
sons petitioning for office be plac
ed on the ballot and all elimination
be done through the primary.
Removal Difficult
Removal of a party screening
committee for such an open pri
mary would also make it difficult
to place the most highly qualified
students on the ballot, he said.
Faust also expressed disapprov
al of the clause which would limit
a candidate to- one office. This is
directly opposed to the primary
method recently adopted by the
Greeks which allows a defeated
candidate for an ASUO office to
run for a class office. The candi
dates defeated in the class election
can then run for the senate with
balloting carried out over a three
day period.
Don Collin, chairman of the com
mittee, will refer the primary plan
to Donald DuShane, director of
student affairs, for his considera
tion.

Industrialized World
Predicted by Fuller
^ '1 lie world will he 100 per cent industrialized by the year
2000, predicted R. Buckminster Fuller, visiting lecturer in the
school of architecture in a speech delivered Thursday night
before a capacity audience in the main lecture room of the
science building.
The greatest portion of the lecture was, in Fuller’s words, a
imuaiuuii dllUVTb ill \\ 111C11
lie illustrated some of his de
signs—seeking new means to
enclose more space for human
needs.
It was in 1927 that Fuller first
entered into this search when he
first realized the great rate of in
dustrial acceleration. Fuller sees
in this development an entirely
new relationship of man to the
earth.
Shows Mechanical Enclosure
First of the slides pictured a
mechanical enclosure for ten fam
ilies featuring “differentiated ten
sion in houses.’’ The drawing made
in 1927, the year of Lindbergh's
flight to Paris, was of a light
weight, easily-transportable struc- I
ture that could be erected any- j
where in the world .
An accompanying map, showing
the building used for world wide
flight stops, was at least five years
earlier than any other map show
ing the concept of world flight,
Fuller said.
Globe Three-BIaded
Fuller’s Dymaxion map projec
tion, a patented device, pictured
the land mass of the globe as a
three bladed propellor with Korea
at its center. In this map, he ex
plained, there was no visible dis

away all debris, trash and rubbish
which is taken cut of the Millrace.
Physical plant equipment and city
maintenance crews will also be
used for the clean-up.
Most student help will be used
to clean out the Millrace from the
Franklin Boulevard culvert to the
outlet pipe near Broadway and
Mill (three blocks below Beta
Theta Pi). Plans call for 50 men
to work in clearing debris between
the intake and the Franklin Eoule
vard culvert.
After the Millrace is cleaned out,
fines will be levied by the Eugene
Police department against persons
found dumping rubbish or debris
in the Millrace, Oren King, city
manager stated. Any dumping
should be reported to the police
department.
Student living organizations rep
resented at last night's meeting
were Alpha Phi, Gamma Phi Beta,
Kappa Sigma, Phi Kappa Psi, Phi
Sigma Kappa, Sigma Nu and Sig
ma Phi Epsilon.
Donald Allen, assistant city en
gineer, reported that a log jam is
being cleared at the intake of the
Millrace near Judkins point. He
stated that 25 feet of water was
the recommended flow in previous
reports under present conditions.
However, present flow under good
conditions is 17 fedt of water.
The inadequacy of the present
outlet pipe of the Millrace, Allen
said, is realized by the city en
gineers. At present, no plans are
in prospect for an increased flow
through the outlet, he added.
