They might feel slightly unhappy
about leaving their homes and

that, but so what? They don't con¬

a new experience for them-keep
them from being so bored.
Think how beneficial such a
move would be, to draft everyone
over 63 years of age. If Gen.
Hershey could persuade all other
nations of toe world to follow suit,
then no country would have an ad¬
vantage over any other country It
might be fighting at that time.
If everyone over 65 were
drafted, the government wouldn't
have to worry about old-age bene¬

type of image our newspaper is

of students pointing rifles at other

me uneasy. In both cases, the
picture was used to Ulustrate a
demand. Once 11 was used for

Professors' Pay: Now, Or Never?
As toe California State Legislature meets each year the question
arises as to how much salary professors should get.
Tho most logical answer Is tost a professor must get the salary
which wUl bring Mm to the Job and keep him there.
TMs year, the California State CoUege Board of Trustees has
recommended a 11.2 per cent Increase In pay for toe system's
7,000 professors.
In the state coUege system, toe maximum salary paid an Instructor
Is »8,544 a year; an assistant professor, 39,408; an associate pro¬
fessor, 311,904; and a full professor, 315,912.
Administrative officials here have noted that recruitment of pro¬
fessors has not been easy. The primary reason given has been toe
amount of money offered.
To obtain an adequate faculty for each of the coUeges, toe pay must
be something more than competlUve if the coUeges are to get faculty
recruits of high caliber. CoUeges and universities throughout toe
nation are growing and the competition for faculty recruits continues
to get tougher.
Competition for professors Is not only centered In toe coUeges—
Industry also needs the talents of professors, especially those to toe
scientific and technological fields. Too, industries are more willing
to pay higher salaries.
Though these facts are eminent, the governor has offered oMy a
6.6 per cent Increase to faculty members In his proposed budget.
The Coordinating CouncU for Higher Education has recommondod
to tho governor that the figure be raised to 6.7 per cent on the grounds
that recent and fuller information from tho'comparable Institutions*
shows tols to be tho correct figure for the present differential.
Another group, toe Association of California State College Pro¬
fessors, has requested a 16.2 per cent increase whUe noting that they
do not support tho 'comparable institutions' basis of determination.
The 16.2 per cent figure soems the most reallsUc as the system,
under the present salary arrangement, does not provide enough pro¬
fessors to fulfUl the demands of the various coUeges.
Because of recruitment faUures to the system and because pay
scales are not competitive with other colleges to the Midwest and
East, ono can foresee that Fresno State College wUl be weU under¬
staffed in the near future, if lt isn't now.
Beatty Condemns, Defends
Krueger At Cross-Currenfs
The Daily CoUegian
•PhU Krueger should bo criti¬
cized for putting toe administra¬
tion and myself on toe spot, but
from a realistic point of view,
what else could ho do? * asked Hal
Beatty, acting athletic director.
Beatty's comment on PhU
Krueger's resignation as head
fcotbaU coach at Fresno State
College, to accept an assistant
coaching position at too Univer¬
sity of Southern California, came
at   Tuesday's     Cross-Currents
He explained that If Krueger's
coaching position had been of the
same nature as other faculty
positions, he could have put off
leaving FSC until next fall. How¬
ever, coaches, especially foot¬
baU, are needed immediately
upon hiring.

Another problem of the
Krueger situation according to
Prof. Beatty Is toe long standing
controversy over college ranks

There are two classes with
each rank: the first deals with
any degree which an Instructor
has and too second deals only with
toe doctorate rank. He doesn't

question of faculty pay ranks and

They say you can't get a man
with a gun, but if Penelope Beck¬
er, a JuMor criminology major,
can't, she can always try cook¬
ing, sewing, making a patchwork

putting siding and shingles on a
family-room wall.
She began her freshman year
as a homo economics major and
then transferred to criminology
because she had always liked
guns. Aside from shooting a cap
pistol at five, she hadn't had any
experience with a gun untU throe
semesters ago when she was re¬
quired to learn to shoot for a
criminology class. She Is now one
of the five members on the FSC
pistol team.
She now shoots about 250 out of
a possible 300 on the Camp Perry
course. She uses a .38 caliber
pistol. Sho recalls a humorous
experience when she was Just

ly sho plays folk rock. Along
these   lines   she   also   likes   a
