Report on Education Calls for Higher Pay for College Teachers Washington U.R) A group of educators called today for pay raises ranging up to 125 per cent for college and university pro fessors during the next 10 years. The educators said faculty salaries are "lamentably low and the severe shortage of quali1 tied teachers in some fields will grow even worse unless substan tial wage increases are forth coming. The recommendation was de . scribed as a first step in prepar . ing the nation's 1,855 colleges and universities for a decade of tremendous expansion. Highlights of Report It was the highlight of a re port by a 20-mernber Education al Policies Commission after a . four-year study. The commis sion, headed by Dr. Herman . Wells, president of Indiana Uni . versity, was appointed jointly . by the National Education Asso ciation and the American As sociation of School Administra tors. President Eisenhower's own Committee on Education Be yond High School is also study ing the problems but has not yet made its report. The Educational Policies Com mission, in a 152-page document entitled "Higher Education In A Decade of Decision," reported that: The tidal wave of postwar children which already has washed over the public schools soon will hit the colleges. En rollment, now about 3 million, will increase steadily until it reaches between 5 and 7 million in 1970. "It seems impossible" to ab sorb all of the increase by ex pansion of existing schools and "a number of new institutions," The Family Council tfrjltor! note: The family Council consist ot a Judge, a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers.

I want to wait for Gerald. Mri. L. K. She should insist on marriage now. Charlotte K. I am 20 years old and engaged to a young man a year older. We were planning to get married when he is grad uated from college at the end of this year. I have a good job and he has pretty good assurance of getting one as soon as he gets out of school. Recently, however, he told me ' that he feels very uncertain about everything. He said he " wants to go on to further studies, which would take about two years. Then he would like to travel for a few months on his own. He has a slight handicap and will not have to put in any military service. He said he loves me and def- ' initely wants to marry me. Of ' course, I am disappointed, but I love Gerald and I want to remain engaged. My mother wants me to insist on marriage now. . Mrs. L. K. My husband and I feel that Gerald is a very fine boy and an ideal husband for Charlotte, but that he has sud denly gotten cold feet about mar . riage. It's natural in such a young . fellow. But he is head over heels in love with Charlotte and she can make him do anything she .wants. If she refuses to wait, he would be afraid to lose her and ' would be willing to get married now. Charlotte is quite mature for her age. She has been working . for the past three years and is ready for marriage now. Why should she hold up her life in . this way? . If Gerald really wants to get more education, he can get it while they are married. Of course, he would have to work too, but many boys do it this way. The Council Mrs. L. K.'s wishful thinking is running away with her. If Gerald has gotten "cold feet" about the mar riage, he will be relieved rather than afraid when presented with the prospect of losing Charlotte, lie may be sincere when he says he loves her and definitely wants to marry her but it is sincerity with only one half of his mind. ' Gerald knows, as well as Mrs. L. K., that it is possible to get more education and be married at the same time. But he does not suggest this. Instead, he suggests a proposition that most girls would reject a long engagement with the time used not only for study, but for travel without the girl with whom he is supposed to be "head over heels in "love." Carlotte would be foolish to insist upon holding onto only half of this young man's heart and to tie herself down to "wait ing" with little real certainty that everything will come out all right. She would do far bet ter to break the engagement. She can, if shs chooses, do it in a friendly way, which would leave open the possibility that she and Gerald could come to gether again if they still feel in clined to at the end of his study and travel period. Even if she were able to "make him do any thing," as her mother suggests, she would only be heading for trouble later if she married on such a basis. (Copyright 1957, General Features Corp.) particularly junior colleges and "community colleges" will be required. . To meet rising education costs, colleges will need increas ed financial support from their own alumni, from corporations, and from all levels of govern ment. Without recommending a specific program, the commis sion said "increased federal aid seems essential." The commission said the most" urgent" need, however, is improving the lot of teachers who, on the average, now re ceive $5,243 a year. It s a i d highly-qualified faculty mem bers are deserting the campus in drovees for better-paying jobs in business and industry. It said salaries should be rais ed to about twice the present level by 1970 "and preferably" with the next 10 years. Boosts of five to 10 per cent a year were recommended, starting at once. "Unless salaries are raised substantially within a very short time," the commission said, "American institutions will be forced to recruit their faculties from second and third levels of ability." The result, it said, would be a serious "deterioration" in the quality of college education. Science, Engineering Session Scheduled Corvallis Oregon and south west Washington high schools have received announcements and application forms for the second annual Oregon-State Col lege Junior Engineers' and Scientists' summer institute. Tenth and 11th grade students may apply for admission to the two-week orientation session, which is scheduled for June 9-22. Students attending the school will be selected on basis of scholastic record and available student assistance funds. Screen ing will take place early in May. Applications are due on the OSC campus by April 30. Scientists of Tomorrow, the sponsoring non-profit organiza tion, has set up a student assist ance fund to give financial aid to qualified applicants who can not afford to pay the fee for the session. .

CHRISTENSEN ft Pickin' Pears News and Notes From Camp White By SID HOLLINGSWORTH "I can't write a letter. Nobody can read my writing. I'll just have to go over to the Red Cross." This predicament expressed by a member reflects the attitude of several hundred men in the VA Domiciliary, who depend upon, the Red Cross gray ladies to handle their correspondence. By actual count, the number of letters written either at bed side or in the ARC headquarters at Camp White, averages 150 a month. This is only one of several jobs performed by this group of vol unteers to make them an indis pensable part of the VA program of rehabilitation and domiciliary care. Visits To Wards Visits to the wards run from 500 to 700 a month. There are about 100 errands, such as mak ing purchases at the canteen store, and mailing packages and letters, from 150 to 200 a month. The Red Cross supplies sewing kits, birthday and seasonal greet ing cards and wrapping materials gratis about 250 items in all. There are about 30 projects which are handled by this organ ization. It harmonizes with the require ments of the, VAVS and . at the same time conforms with the special conditions established by the American Red Cross through out the nation. Other Branches In addition to the gray ladies, the Red Cross work here is per formed by other branches of this tree of shelter and service. Each month, some particular niche in the entertainment program is filled with a stage show. Then there is the Junior Red Cross which provides Christmas, Easter and other holiday decor ations for the table. This year, school children made center pieces for the Easter dinner ta bles. Mrs. John Day, head of the Junior Red Cross, recently com pleted arrangements with Frank Glonning, chief of special serv ices, for a new type of show to be offered by the Junior Red Cross. Owing to previous arrange ments, the Medford schools have been unable to present, their us ual show on the evening sched uled. The new program, starting in September, calls for four or five special events during the year. Organization of Children This organization of school children is headed by Bob Quin ney, of McLaughlin Junior High school. He has been named to the board of directors and will sit in at regular Red Cross meetings. Then there are educational and cultural activities which are handled daily for the men, such as the aphasia class, conducted on Monday and Wednesday each week by, Mrs. Ralph Bardwell, gray ladies chairman, and Mrs. Aimee Deuel, who likewise as sists with instruction in music. Mrs. Schultz, of the gray ladies' Thursday team, plays records for convalesents on that day. Another educationa 1 feature has been the series of talks, illus trated with colored slides, pre sented by Mrs. Frank Perl in the chapel, concerning her recent travels abroad. The gray ladies and their schedule are as follows: Monday Mrs. Bardwell, chair man, Mrs. Creager, Mrs. Krows, Mrs. Rehling and Mrs. Barnes. Tuesday Mrs. Arnold, Mrs. Fabrick and Mrs. Dalen. Wednesday Mrs. Salade, co chairman, Mrs. Deuel, Mrs. Mc Kee and Mrs. Luther. Thursday Mrs. Schulz, Mrs. Stanley, Mrs. Rehling, Mrs. Reg ester and Mrs. Perry. Friday Mrs. Flinn and Mrs. Russell.

(U.R) Auto heir Horace Dodge II broke his leg in a fall at a private swim ming pool here Sunday. He underwent surgery at Good Samaritan hospital for set ting of the fracture. Salem 0!.R) Gov. Robert-D. Holmes today endorsed in prin ciple the tax program announc ed last week by the Democratic majority of the House Tax com mittee. "We are getting closer all the time," the governor said, add ing that the program rubbed out some inequities of previous tax plans including the one submit ted by House Speaker Pat Dooley. Doesn't Know Every Impact The governor . also had en dorsed the Dooley plan in prin ciple. However, the governor said he had not gone over the new tax program in detail and didn't know every table and every tax impact. He said changes would doubtless be made in the pro gram before it was completed. Cuts in three institution budg ets of more than $500,000 made by the Joint Ways and Means committee last Friday was pro tested by the governor. "I was hopeful they wouldn't cut a nickel from the budgets," Gov. Holmes said. But he said that if cuts had to be made they probably were made in the right sections of the budgets for Oregon state hospital, Fairview home and Eastern Oregon state hospital. The governor told his weekly press conference that he had heard of no proposal to cut the institution building program, which includes plan for con structing an intermediate penal institution "is a vital and inte gral part of our penal program," the governor said. The governor said he favored budget savings on buildings rather than on services and other things, but expressed the hope that any cuts in the build ing program would be neither deep nor drastic.
