Council polls
campus clubs
on night spot
NEBRASKAN assists
with ballot as work
starts on Union project
Preliminary stops directed
toward the establishment of a stu
dent Night Club at the Union are
being undertaken by a Student
Council committee in the form of
a poll of various campus organ
izations. In co-operation with the Coun
cil, the DAILY NEBRASKAN is
publishing in this issue a question
box which students are asked to
clip, fill out, and deposit in the
ballot box to be set up this after
noon in the first floor lobby of the
Union.
If the Club is presented, the
Union will have to spend consid
erable money on colored spotlights,
decorations, hiring of'a good local
orchestra and commercial talent
for a floor show, in addition to the
various expenses pertaining to the
service of food. Therefore the Stu
dent Council, which will sponsor
the Club, and the Union, which
will foot the bill and make all ar
rangements, want to be sure be
forehand how the idea will be ac
cepted and supported by the stu
dent body.
Early plana regarding the pro
posed feature include the serving
of supper to all guests at about
10:30 or 11 p. m. after the floor
show.

Scott survey reveals root
of teacher turnover problem
Salary dissatisfaction
brings school trouble
Dissatisfaction of teachers with
their salaries is revealed by Dr.
C. W. Scott, associate professor of
school administration at the Uni
versity of Nebraska, as the prin
cipal reason for the troublesome
teacher turnover problem in Ne
braska. Scott's study, which was re
cently published in "School and So
ciety," presents data from 87 Ne
braska six year, four year and
senior public high schools in which
the rate of turnover for 1937-38
was above the average for such
schools. The information returned
in the questionnaires shows that
57.5 percent of all teachers in the
co-operating schools who changed
positions withdrew for salary rea
sons alone.
Peru educator assists.
Working with Calvin H. Reed
of Peru state teachers college, the
university educator found that of
the teachers who withdrew for
strictly salary reasons, approxi
mately a percent resigned after
re-election to accept better paying
positions: 11.5 nercent accented
better paying positions before
election time and 15.6 percent re
sisted either before or after elec
tion to seek better paying posi
tions in public education or in
other fields.
"The Percentage of turnover due
to reasons of salary was highest
lor teacners in schools with an
average daily attendance of less
than 50." Dr. Scott writes. "Fail
ure of re-election was decidedly
more common in small schools
than in large ones. Re-election of
teachers at an increase in salary
was much more common among
tne larger schools than among the
smaller ones. This distinction does
not hold, however, when salaries
paid new teachers employed to fill

Presentation of an exDloration

turnover positions are considered.
Small schools evidenced a slightly
greater tendency to pay new
teachers higher salaries than were
paid for the same positions in
1936-37 and a definitely greater
tendency to pay them the same
salaries given their predecessors."
Altho a majority of the teach
ers in the co-operating schools
who changed positions did so ro
secure better salaries, the net ef
fect of teacher turnover upon the
salary expenditures of the schools
was a reduction for 1937-38. This
is probably accounted for by the
"progression of teachers from
small schools to large ones and
the fact that beginning teachers
are willing to start at a minimum
salaries."
No solution for the turnover
problem is indicated in the study
but the conclusion is reached "that
the most fertile approach would be
improvement of salary conditions
in the state."

Committee to aid
refugees formed
First action planned
for meeting Feb. 17-18
NEW YORK, N. Y. (I. P.)
Formation of the intercollegiate
Committee to Aid Student Refu
gees, through which Tiotestant,
Catholic and Jewish students of
over 100 colleges throughout the
country plan to aid student vic
tims of fascist intolerance by
bringing them to this country to
complete their studies, was an
nounced here by Catherine Deeny,
executive secretary.
The intercollegiate committee is
the outgrowth of the Harvard
Committee to aid German student
refugees which has already been
commended by President Roose
velt for the success of its efforts
in securing from the Harvard cor
poration the promise of 20 refugee
scholarships of $500 each on the
condition that students and fac
ulty will match each dollar for the
purpose of meeting living ex
penses. One of the intercollegiate conr-y
mittee's most immediate objectives
is the calling of an intercollegiate
conference in Cleveland, O., on
Feb. 17 and 18.
