Vette Circulation Manager "$50,000 For Professors" "A professor of psychology re cently left one of our eastern uni versities nd accepted an advertis ing position in New lork. Thereby his annual salary was increased from $5,000 to $25,000. This man was at the very height of distinction as a scholar and teacher." So begins an article in the Sep tember issue of The Forum, entitled "$50,000 For Professors." The ex ample given can be multiplied by hundreds, the author, Frank Bohn, declares. and is an example of the exodus from the campus of highly trained men to the more profitable field of business. Three thousand dollars is well above the average salary for univer sity professors, it is stated. The statistics of the federal bureau of education for the year 1921-22 show the following national average: professor $3,392, associate professor $2,S00, assistant professor $2,300, instructor $1,800. "The starvation of the teaching profession is a fun damental error in American life," it is asserted. The American craze for size, the article continues, is the center of the trouble. "Giantism" in univer sities, the cry for larger enrollment and more buildings, but not for bet ter instructors, is tearing down American culture of national lead ership. "Our typical large 'univer sity' is a combination vocational school and sporting club," declares Mr. Bohn. Restriction of numbers, rn univer sities, rigid requirements for en trance, the restriction of universi ties to the two upper classes and graduates, and higher salaries to obtain more competent instructors, are the steps suggested to remedy the situation. A total enrollment of not more than 1,200, with a limit of about 200 for the professional schools, is suggested. The entrance require ments would be similar to those for obtaining a Rhodes scholarship. Junior colleges, as preparatory schools, would take care of the stu dents until the last two years of college, and "reading, writing, and intelligible conversation in at lesat two modern languages, aside from English, should be taken for granted upon entrance." Instruction in for eign languages should begin in the grades. Now for the faculty. This should number from two to three hundred. The younger members of the facul ty should be about thirty-five years old and have traveled and done ex tensive graduate study. After some experience in teaching, either in lower schools or as an assistant, he should be offered a position at a salarv of at least $20,000 a year, with a substartial increase if he re-j mains. The salaries of the older faculty members "should equal that of the avwage corporation lawyer and the leading scientists in our in dustrial laboratories." The suggested salary is from $30,000 to $50,000 a year. The size of these 'salaries may shock some, says Mr. Bohn, but "this nation spends many hundreds f millions a year on chewing gum tnd candy. Our advertising bills run into billions." Mr. Bohn's ideas, as be says, may shock, they may seem revolutionary; but that there is considerable justi fication for his stand cannot be de nied. The matter is at least worth serious thought and the creation of such a university as fc outlines would be s valsatl experiment. THE FirtSHMsM iwiiiATiOr? Mora than two thousand new stu dent in the University will be in structed in the traditions of their It enir.t be wall for 701s bimbos to Mod year soils in t then thy'U ! i 1 alma mater this morning at the Armorv. The occasion is th. annnal freshman Initiation. The value of this initiation hiay not be realized by the firstyear men and women. But that it is valuable can be seen in the fact that the University authorities have excused classes for the event. There is a great deal more in stu dent life than study. Study comes first, of course, but the well-rounded student must have something more than knowledge. The other side of life, the school spirit, and the social atmosphere, all of which are truly important, are stressed at the initiation, as the pur suit of knowlcdce is stressed in the class room. The freshman who fails to attend will regret it He will miss a part of his university life. HIGH SCHOOL LETTERS It has long been a tradition at the University of Nebraska that no letters granted for athletics in high school are worn by University men. Most of the upperclassmen1 are familiar with this rule, but a num ber of freshmen, who are probably unfamiliar with it, are wearing high school letters on the campus. The basis for this rule is that ath letic honors should be gained at the University by University men, and that the deeds of the high school athlete are now of little importance. If the freshmen will take this sug gestion and remove the letters from their sweaters they may be saved some unpleasantness later. College Press THE MAD CRAZE It has begun again the mad craze for speed. Cars shoot wildly in and out of the jams in front of frater nity and sorority houses. Automo biles dash down the hills oblivious to other cars coming on the streets, A few days ago the first accident occurred, but since then, just as many Fords have been "opened up" and just as many Lincolns have am bled alongside at breakneck speeds. There were no injuries in that first accident, but any one who walks across streets in the student district is in line for one. How much longer will the brakes hold? Moralists and puritans have said things before now about youth and ;peed. They have pointed decrying fingers at the young things who are so speedy that they can not get to classes on time nor pay the frater nity bills in the afternoon. Speed is not innate in the colU-ge student Speed doesn't make a man race down Indiana rather a desire to be reck less, to show off. It is a hang-over from that old-time fondness for roily-coasters and flying dutchmen. j Now the time has come for Um-; versity students to realize that toys have long since been put away in drawers and that accordingly child ish ideas and desires should be dis carded. It was all very well to play with the pop gun at the age of seven, but it is a different matter to shoot indiscriminately with a loaded pistol at the age of nineteen. The same ' applies to the hobby-horse and the , Ford. When will University stu-! dents grow out of the hobby-horse age? University Daily Kansan. CO TO COLLEGE IF YOU CAN Commencement days having come and gone it is perhaps proper to call attention of the youthful students to the advantages of continuing the pursuit of the elusive object known as a higher education. We strongly urge all young men and women who can possibly do so, to attend college. If for only a year, go that year, but better go until you graduate. There have been a great r3 I Footwear Simple, I Comfortable I and Smart 50 fell s 1; W7ill fin a marvelous S 1 choice of new models pj that not only obey the i$ precepts of the mode but a those of comfort too, at 1 wear for daytime occas k ions, the sports events, or 3 for evening wear.

There is a value deeper than the money that may come to you through better training for life. It is the broadened outlook, the great vista of the unlearned and the unknown that can only be opened to you through a wider smattering of knowledge. No one is more com pletely conscious of a lack of intelli gence than the man or woman who has a good education. In urging the young people to go to college, we do not wish for them to misunderstand us. There are a great number of goodly things which will not come with an education, and they are more important than intelligence. Strength of will, purity of life, unselfish ambition and a comforting religion will not neces sarily follow an advanced education. Nevertheless, the chances are that 'further studies will make you better than you are, regardless of how good ' you may be. You must not lose sight of the fact that education is I hut a tool to be used in the work of I life, not an end to be sought at any price. It is not your intelligence ! that will make you worth while, but jthe use of it. Rochester News-Sen-, tinel.

"Well IT1 see If anybody is going to tell me what I can wear and what I can't wear. I earned this letter in football and got a lot of knocking around for it Now I am going to wear it and no one can stop me." "Listen, Bill. Remember that game we played against each other on Thanksgiving. All you got out of it was a sprained ankle and I got a broken shoulder. I felt like you do about my "letter" until this fellow talked to mo. Ho asltod mo what I played in high school and asked how school was coming, sort of brother like. Then he told me that I had bet ter take my "letter" off the sweater if I wanted to wear it because the "N" was the official Cornhusker let ter. He said that when he came down here to school some fellow came to him and told him the same thing, and that it was a tradition or something like that at Nebraska for a person to take the letter off if he wanted to wear his jersey. Then he told me what everyone else has, that down here no one cares much what one has accomplished in hieh school. He said to get in there and fight 'em both in studies and on the freshman squad and he was sure I could win a letter down here it 1 ; worked hard. Boy, believe me I'm going to." j Bill took a deep breath.
