A New universiry BO EST PDn-AJfD Editor an4 rubltahar ORETCHEN PKNLAW Associate- Publisher NATION A I i i f RITOIIAL 1 AS)CTl(SjN Good, But Not Best A recent editorial In the East Ort-gonlan dl cussing teachers' salarle In Oregon placed Mor row county'a teacher salary scale at the top of the state schedule. This brought forth quite an amount of argument from our school adminis trators and school board members who say that while our county scale Is above average In the state, It Is not the highest The Morrow county school office this week compiled figures on the county teachers' salary scale which puts a some what different light on the discussion. As far as we can determine both were taken from the same reiort, but In the EO figures all "extras", such as coaching salary, cafeteria supervision, etc, were included, which should not be consid ered a part of a teacher's "base pay". Normally such work Is done outside of regular teaching requirements, and, as we understand It, is paid for as an "extra." This practice Is usual In most, If not all, Oregon school districts. Here are the Morrow county figures complied for us by Robert Van Houte, county school super intendent: "According to figures released from the dis trict superintendent's office In Heppner, based on an O.E.A. report of teacher salaries In Oregon for 1959-60: "The average of all teachers In Oregon Is $5334; the average of all elementary teachers Is $5207 and the average of all senior high teachers Is $5626. "In Morrow county, the average of all ele mentary teachers Is $5341 and of all high school teachers $6210. The average of Morrow county elementary' teachers places the district 25th In the state while the average of high school teach ers ranks the district 7th In the state. "Studies also show that nearly 40 of Morrow county high school teachers have masters de grees. Almost one-fourth (24) of all the teach ers are at the top of the salary schedule." A new University of Oregon seem to be emercing. This Is the word from the Eugene cTmpu,fmm both faculty and students. The "new" university Is more Inclined to the Intel lectual than the old. After the Influx of veterans following World War II the university went Into an enrollment decline', contrasted by Oregon State's constantly climbing number of students. Low salaries cost the university some outstanding pro essor. ho left for better paid positions, mostly in Calif ornia schools. .,h This out-flow of brain power from the facu ty was halted, at least temporarily, by the pay ra se granted two years ago by the legislature. After J !ow point In enrollment In 1955. the number of students gained steadily every year But. this year has seen an explosion. En rollment Jumped to over 6.700 students (while Oregon State dropped In numbers), causing a housing shortage and also stimulating compe tltion. Bright new faculty members have Joined the ranks of old timers, causing a new exciting Intellectual air. BUI Wliai im - , the students are taking their university work seriously. Study facilities are crowded every day and evening. The good student haa Joined the ranks of campus wheels.

Others who mlPht he Interested can pick up a brochure publicizing the course and enrollment forms at mis office. A couple of weeks ago we re ported some rainfall records and asked for additional cooperators lf there were farm people who would like to provide us with precipitation records from their rain guage. Harry Proudfoot was the first to volunteer. Since then D O Nelson, of the North Lex ington community and Raymond Lundell from the Gooseberry area has consented to keep us posted on how wet or how dry they are. Each year about this time we receive from the Oregon State Colleee -horticulturist announce ment on vegetable varieties for the new year. Several years ago imnn rwelot of the first list of these varieties we felt that there wouldn't be too much interest, however, we did use some of the most common grown vegetable recommendations in this news column. The response was unex pected but pleasant Since rea lizing that there must be more Gardners than we anticipate, we short course, with Howard Cush man as discussion leader, will be held at the fair pavilion an nex from 10 to 12 a m on Feb ruary 4 and 5. Since over half of tlie registrants are from lone, consideration is being given to holding the February 11 and 12 sessions there. We will know by the 5th if and where we will meet In lone. Those who do not attend the first two day sessions had better check ahead of time if they plan to come on the 11th and 12th. A lot of farm people will be Interested In plans that the Mor row County Farm Bureau Is making for a special meeting to be held on February 16. Post poning their regular January meeting to the 16th, a special program will feature an author ity on Social Security. From the number of questions that people are asking on Social Security, I am sure that this will be of Interest to many of our farm people. A study course In landscape design will be held at Oregon State College on May 5 through 7. It Is being sponsored by the extension service and the depart ment of landscape architecture In cooperation with the Oregon Federation of Garden Clubs.

LEGISLATORS' SALARIES It's not easv to raise your sal ary when the boss Is looking, particularly embarrassing when there are 1,521,522 of them (1959 census) giving you the eye and each with a vote and mad a- bout high taxes in Oregon. Mpmhers of the 1959 Legis lature who voted to raise their salaries and those of future leg islatures, from $G0O a year to $2,100, are in this empasse. The Oreeon Supreme court has Just declared unconstitut ional the first of double barrel . trv Mt iarv boosting. The high court also has held that the people, and noi in iki Mure, should decide what legis lator should be paid. A suit wm brought when Secretary of State Howell Appling Jr.. reruu-a iq fill V i.etlat(-d salary Increases to the solons. as he believed the act unconstitutional. In unanimous decision the high court has ruled that the JiioO salary provldea in me con stitution is limit, not nectar lly starting figure. In the other barrel of their muskatoon the legislators have their masterpiece, Senate Joint Resolution No 23, which in effect puts the salary question up to a vote of the people In a pro posed constitutional amendment at the May election. There are many controversial points in the salary proposal. however, most solid thinkers who have made an effort to ob serve the extraordinary amount of nerve testing work, long hour and expense, conclude a raise Is not only due the legislator hut Is a trood taxpayer Invest ment that will attract able men who cannot sacrifice the time and cost of serving the state. DEFENSE CHIEF HERE f)rirron's potential In defense development will be discussed hv Secretary of Defense Thomas Gates and Gov Mark Hatfield In Portland this week meeting with the governor's planning and de velopment committee.

Chevrolet speaks of the Sixties like o other car with a broad accent ea spaciousness, stirring new concepts in styling and strong emphasis on spirit and thrift. Step inside this superlative '60 and look at the worlds of room around you: head room, hip room, shoulder equaring room. Note how Chevrolet's engineers have further flattened and narrowed the transmission tunnel to give the middle man more foot room. Chevrolet's greater roominess is inside where you want it not outside in Useless body overhang. You'll find economy teamed with performance in a new standard V8, engineered to deliver up to 10 more miles for every gallon, or the strapping Hi-Thrift 6. And riding comfort in the new one is a never-ending treat, thanks to Full Coil spring suspension. There are also thicker, newly designed body mounts that filter noise and vibration to the vanishing point, more rigid frame and many other engineering advances.
