hard Tor administration economies Only
as a last resort have they cut salaries
Yet salaries have been cut In "a pri-
vately controlled institutions which
made reports to the United States Of
flee of Education. the salary ranges were
from $500 to $1,170. The medal of q
professors salary was $3.50. The max

in Higher Education for l932-l933,"
Henry G.. Badger, assistant statistician
OF the Office of education, says:
Some diminution of receipts from
practically every source is expected. On
the expenditure side, suspended build
ing programs, curtailment or elimina-
tion OF research and extension service
and reduction in staff salaries are
planned. Salary increases are rare"
Wide Range Of Figures.
Mr.. Badgers figures show a wide
range. In the publicly controlled insti-
tutions. for example, total receipts at
Kentucky State Industrial College have
fallen of AZ per cent, while total re-
ceipts at A. & M. College of Texas
actually have increased 20 per cent.
But at most colleges receipts are less.
The University of Arizona shows a
II per cent loss; the University of Illi-
nois, 7 per cent loss: the University
Of Kansas, a 19 per cent loss: the Uni
verSity Of Minnesota. a 4 per cent loss;
the University of Mississippi, at 81 per
cent loss; the University of Nebraska. a 9
per cent loss; the University of South
Carolina, a 20 per cent loss; the Uni
versity of Texas, a 9 per cent loss:
the University Of Utah, IL per cent
loss; the University Of Washington, a
/ per cent loss.
Among the privately controlled insti-
tutions, the range in total receipts,

from % per cent loss at Olivet College,

in Michigan, to a SO per cent gain at
Whitworth College, in Washington.
Whitworth's total estimated income,
however. is $685. which doesn't seem
so much in comparison with Minne-
sofas $8,435,035, or even Nebraska S
$3,663,09l.
II colleges and faculty members have
felt the pinch, so have the students.
DR.. Savage estimates many Of those
who registered last Fall returned with
an average, of say, $3.50, expecting to
get money from home, or to find some
work to augment their resources. There
was no work for most of them and the
parents Of others lost their earning
power.
When they returned. these students
paid the first inStallment on their
tuition. Around the first of November
they found themselves with empty
pockets. They also discovered that
first Of the year. Many had to leave.
Others tried to hang on, shabby, under
fed, targets for disease germs.
Efforts to Aid Students.
College presidents have made strenu-
Gus efforts to aid such students. At
Antioch College Arthur Morgan has
organized a unit of the self help" plan.
At the University of Iowa Walter A.
Jessup has done what amounts to the
same thing in a different manner.
Dean Jessup first partitioned of a
portion Of the field house and put in
100 cots. Students occupied these bar
racks at a cost Of 81 a week, when the
least they could get a room in town
for probably was about IS. Then Mr.
Jessup put in ranges and let the boys
do their own cooking. Some Of them
came from farms and received sup
plies from home.
This led to a regular community or
ganization. Money and supplies were
put into a general account and the

DEPRESSION HELD
EDUCATION BOOST
Dr.. Savage of Carnegie Foun.
dation Says Quality Had
Been Neglected.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK. January 81 (N.A.N.A.).
Howard J. Savage, secretary OF the
Carnegie Foundation, believes that while
our educational institutions may be in
temporary difficulties most Of them not
only will pull through, but will emerge
In better, more useful, more desirable
FORM
There is" says DR.. Savage, at least
one pleasing side to the present picture
If the depression has endangered edu-
cation in the matter Of quantity, 1t has
opened the eyes Of many to the de-
STABILITY Of quality. In the United
States, which over a period Of 100
education, we had come to think too
little Of the quality Of learning.
THE fundamental functions of an
educational system, as we have worked
1t out" DR.. Savage continued, ARE to
educate the people to greater compe-
tency in performing the general social
obligations of citizenship, and to fit
them to perform the particular. spe-
cialized services to society allotted to
different occupational groups.
THE high schools and junior col
leges offer the general education
necessary to good citizenship. The
senior colleges and universities educate
the specialists, the doctors lawyers and
scientific graduates needed for special
work"
Sources Of Funds
Depending upon whether they are
publicly or privately controlled insti-
tutions, DIR. Savage explains, institu-
tional budgets are made up on the
basis Of State or Federal appropria-
tions, tuition fees, income from pro-
ductive funds, unattached gifts and a
few other sources, most of which have
been affected by present conditions.
State appropriations, for example" !"
DR.. Savage points out, "are paid from
money obtained by taxation. When
the taxes don't come in, appropriations
must be cut The yield on investments
has shrunk. Fees have been unpaid
Certain institutions which held farm
mortgages have been badly hit. Alumni
who used to contribute generously
either have been caught in the storm
or have been pumped dry.
Colleges have been forced to run into
debt. If some of them depended wholly
upon interest from productive endow-
ments to pay off, 1t would take them
anywhere from to 26 years"
DR.. Savage said presidents of univer-
stiles and colleges have been trying

REGULATION Is URGED
Policy Affecting Waterways Would
Tighten Burden, Railroads Told.

NEW YORK, January 81 P,-Fed-
eral regulations of water carriers and
repeal of the provisions prohibiting rail-
roads from engaging in water trans
portation were recommended as a base
FOR a new transportation policy to
tighten the burdens of railroads by Mil
ton w. Harrison, president of the Se-
curity Owners Association, speaking
before the New York Railroad Club last
night.
The ideal form of competition" he
said, lis not a competition between diff
ferent agencies of transportation, but
a competition between strong national
transportation systems embracing all
agencies. The railroads should not only
be permitted to 60 into water and other
fields of transportation, supplementine
the services OF their own, but should be
forced to do so''

owner credited with them on the books
at market price Other boys received
credit for work. Without any semblance
OF charity, it has been possible to let
students without cash earn board and
lodging. A similar scheme was intro
duced in the girls dormitory.
So, while the continued gale of de-
preston has forced the majority of edu-
cational institutions to trim their sails,
simpler living mas tended TO induce
higher thought. 1t Is striking thing
that, at several institutions, the stu
dents are showing a new appreciation
OF good music and art; a new earnest
ness toward getting all they can out Of
educational facilities.
AND education is the only thing
which is going to solve the majority
OF our problems, says DR.. Savage.

Yale Announces "NeW"
Snort POIicU

After all the ballyhoo raised about
the evils of intercollegiate sport, and
the necessity of playing it down in
favor of intramural sports, Yale has
announced a new" athletic policy
for 1933-34. And what does this
policy say? I'm order to offer an
adequate program for irater-college
athletics for the full college year
1888, it would seem essential to dis
continue class teams in the various
branches of sport and concentrate
upon the college teams"
Thus the ordinary student who
wants and needs athletics as q pas
time, for health and recreation, is
again soaked in favor of the star per-
former who lives and sleeps sports,
so that the college can gain bit of
glory, free advertising and heavier
gate receipts. The young fellow who
wants organized sports, and hasn't
the ability, time, or living conditions
to become record breaker, should
hunt up the Labor Sports Union, an
organization of rank-and-file ath-
leteS, which believes in sports for
everybody and doesn't discriminate
in favor of the wizard" who needs
athletics probably less than anyone
else.
