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,"

Charlotte K. 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.

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.

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.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE
Holmes Endorses
Principle in Demo
Taxation Program
Auto Heir Horace Dodge
Breaks Leg in Fall
Palm Beach, Fla. (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.
