Improved The administration has continued its re cently begun policy of improving the build ings and grounds by revamping the janitorial system of the dormitories and classroom buildings over the holidays. Seeking more efficient cleaning of the buildings the custodian force has been sep arated into groups acting as teams to clean the buildings. Previously each member of the janitorial staff was assigned one or more buildings for which he was responsible. Un der the new system a team enters the dormi tory with each member of the team aspigned a specific task in the building. As a result it takes the team less than an hour to do a Segregul A controversy rekindled recently by one of the staff writers on the segregation issue has resulted in much written comment with all sides not having a chance to present their views.

"So I says to Dei NOTRE DAME ALUMS South Bend, Ind.-(I.P.)-Uni versity of Notre Dame alumni of 25 years ago earn better incomes and enjoy a more stable family life than other college graduates of their generation, according to a comprehensive survey of the Class of 1928. Two hundred and twenty five of the 502 living members of the Class of '28 answered a total of 101 questions prepared by Louis F. Buckley, Chicago econo mist and president of the class. The median annual income for the 1928 Notre Dame graduate is $10,000. The median annual in come for all college graduates in Time's 1947 survey was $6,152. Allowing about a 15'f increase to reflect changes in median income in the intervening years, the Notre Dame graduates still would appear to be considerably above average. Forty per cent of the class have incomes in the $5,000 to $10,000 bracket while 33 per cent earn be tween $10,000 and $20,000 each year. At either extreme, 10 per cent of the 1928 alumni have in comes of less than $5,000 while 2 per cent report incomes between $50.000 and $60,000. Ninety-one per cent of the class of '28 are married, most of them taking brides at the age of 28 or 29. They have an average of 2.76 children. More than half of the class have three or more children and one member of the class has eleven youngsters. Only .8 per cent of the class have been di vorced and .4 per cent are separ ated. The divorce rate is consid erably below the 8 per cent rate for all college graduates in the same age group. NOTIRE DAME South Bend, Ind.-(.P.)-The University of Notre Dame soon will invite corporations from coast to coast to underwrite the addition of forty-five distinguished pro fessors to its faculty, it was an nouniced1 here by the Rev. .John J. Cavanaugh, C.S.C., dlirector of the Notrec Dame Foundation. Father Cavanaugh, who served as president of the university from 1946( to 1952, outlined a new pro gram for faculty development be fore campus meetings of Notre Dame's alumni board of directors and the Advisory Council for the Colle'ge of Commerce. The latter group is comp)osed of thirty-four nationally known executives of business and indlustry. "J'ust as the corporation sym bol1iz.es private ente'rprise in A mer ira, the University of Not re Dame is a symbol0 of private education at its finest,'' Father Cavanaugh declared. ''Pecause we believe that, for the good of the country, strong ta x-suppjortedl institutions of hiigher learning should co-exist with the eqtually strong private col leges and universities, we are ap proaching corporation exe'cutives, confident that they wvill welcome the partne'rship which we propose for the education of 'morally responsible leaders for the nation."

Teacher tours through the public schools of the nation may somc day find elementary grade chil dren chatting away in French, Italian or Spanish. Yale has a Master of Arts in teaching pro. gram, established two years agc to train better teachers for sec. ondary schools and junior colleges But the program now has beem expanded. The university announces that it will begin preparing highly qualified teachers for elementary grade language instruction. Undei the guidance of Theodore Anders. son, program director, Yale is taking a prominent place in the pioneering of the new languag( movement. "A revolution in lan. guage learning and teaching iF brewing in the elementary class. rooms of America," said Mr. Anderson. "Grade school lan. guage instruction is mushrooming so rapidly that the question is nc longer whether languages will bc taught in such early educational levels but how it will be taught,' he added. PARKING PROBLEMS F?ayetteville, Ark.-(I.P.)-Witl a grand total of 650 parking places provided for students and faculty on the University oi Arkansas campus, records recentlh tabulated by the University Traf fic Office from school registratiori forms show 1,759 cars in operatior1 by students, faculty and staff this year. The number of cars has in creased 780 over the spring semester of 1953. This, in effect means one car for each 2.2 students currently enrolled here. With th4 addition of the total number oi university faculty and staff the ratio would he one car for eacla 2.5 of the students, faculty and staff. The university staff in. creased from 432 registrations irl 1952-53 to 653. Student drivern showed a much larger increase as they more than doubled last year'i number of registrations, 1,107 te 5.17. RtUSHING RULES semesters have been set as the tim4 allowved for a pledge in a fratern ity to make the required 5.( average for activation, according to a new Interfraternity Coundi 'uling at the University of Ne braska. The new ruling is part of two regulations passed by tah4 group) to help raise fraternity ave'rage's throughout the univer. sity. 'rho new rule states, in effect that a pledge in a fraternity will he given two semesters to make a 5.0 average. The required grad4 was originally 4.5, but wa: changedi by the IFC. If the pledge dloes not make the required 5.0 average, he will he requirc to move out of the fraternity house. Students at South D)akota State College are complaining thai faculty members have taken "the cream" of parking spots on their campus. Almost as many non-student parkers as students are registered for parking permits, and a faculty committee' on which there is ne student representation reserved the choice areas for the non-stu dents. Says the South Dakota Collegian: "Student representa fin.-hah! GUS MANOS Non-SegrE Not Race, (Ed. Note: This is the third in a series of articles concerning segregation,. a practice now being challenged before the Supreme Court.) In any discussion of the issue of segregation the proponents of the outmoded practice generally put forth a number of weak arguments which can be antici pated and answered logically. One of the main points brought forth is that an end to segrega tion would bring marriages be tween the races. An end to segre gation would be dictated by laws, but people's personal choices of the company they make and the mates they choose cannot be dic tated by laws. Freedom of choice, just like the equality of all men, is one of our basic freedoms. If fraternities and sororities on college campuses choose to exclude persons of other races from mem bership, they too have the freedom of choice to do so. Perhaps after integration of the races has been established in the public schools for a number of years, people who once were horrified at the thought of mixing of the races in social and extra-curricular activities will find that some of the most faith ful friends and hardest workers will be people whom they once shunned because of the color of their skin. The least we can (o in the beginning is to give all people true equality according to the law. If people choose to make their social relations with members of other races equal, that is their business and their choice. If they choose to remain aloof from all mankind with the exception of their own particular race, that is their business also-for the free dom of personal choice cannot be neglected in a program to end legalized segregation. A beginning must be made, and the laws must make this beginning by ending legalized segregation. Survey She In Colleg STORRS, Conn. - The typical college daily is published 151 times a year, averages 4 pages per I issue, Lnd prints 755,000 copies (luring the academic year. Most college da&iiies are pubi lished five times a wveek, although a few schools get out six issues every week. These were a few of the facts uncoveredI last spring in a nation widie survey condiucted by the Con necticut (Cam pus, undergraduate newspaper at the University of Connecticut. Questionnaires wvere sent to editors of all dlaily college papers, all state universities and several representative private institutions. The results p)rovidled editors of The Campus with an accurate and reliable cross section of the Amer ican collegiate press toda~y. Some of the questions asked wvere: D)o you have a compulsory studient publication fee or tax ? Do you pay your editors salaries? Are you allowed to carry b)eer and cigarette ads ? Who determines your editorial andl financial policy ? D)o you have any form of censor.. ship? The answers to these, and more than 50 other qjuestions, indlicatedi there were almost as many dif ferent ways of running college papers as there aire colleges and universities. Hfere are some other highlights of the survey: Seventy-five per cent of the colleges have "No Drinking" regu lations, but ten per cent are al lowed to carry beer and liquor advertising. All dailies are al lowed to carry cigarette adve'rtis ing. Sa id one ed itor: "I Iow do youIi think we make all our money ?" More than half the college dlailies fail to showv any p)rofit at the end of the year. Mo(st papea,rs, especially those at st ate( univer sities,, have to dlependi heavily o,n compulsory studlent fees to break even in June. 1gation Is -Mingling In schools in other sections of the country in which segregation is not practiced the different races, in many cases, have their oA separate fraternities. In other cases the races in fraternities are integrated. It must always remain a matter of personal choice. Ideally and justly every man should be judged not on the color of his skin, but upon qualities which areMW much more important-honesty, ability, faithfulness to duty, devo tion to mankind in general, and sincere effort. The time has come for legal equality. Social equality is a thing of the mind-a matter which can not be pushed by laws. If and when it comes, it must be preceded by legal equality. And who are you and I to say that social equal ity is wrong? If people are happy together, that is their business. ;e must begin to clear our conscienc s, though, by making a beginning. All equality possible under the laws must be granted. In our approach to the prob lems put forth by a practice which has settled itself comfortably upon us through the years we must remain cool. We must discuss the situation logically, giving each man's opinions full consideration regardless of whether they coin ride with ours or not. Above all we must attempt to control emo tional outbursts on the matter, for they can only make the situation worse. In our meditations, in our dis -ussions, in our estimations of the points put forth, we would do well to remember the words of a great American-a wot ld citizen who acticed,* what he preached and had an unshakable belief in the goodness of mankind. Ile said, "With malice toward none; with 'laritY for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to firghi the work we are in . ws Variety e Papers make an annual profit, which ranges from $50 at one mid xestern school to "around $5,000" At an Ivy .League college in New I-'ngland. IIeavy local advertising is what makes the -profit. All college da il ies carry both local and na tional aids, but their income varies from 1 ,500 (at a New England college) to more than $55,000 a year (at a mid-western college.) Operating budiogets for~ dailies v'ary from $15,000 to $100,000 with the average budget around $47,000 a year. The daily college paper pays its editor a yearly salary ranging from $B0 to $960. The editor of the typical college .hrily receives a little over $500 1 year for his ser.vices. IIis buls ness manager gets $425, his managing editor, $400. Two dlailies saidl they p)aidi no salaries, wvhile five others split the cash only when* the paper makes a profit. Editors at Ivy L.eague colleges were ve'ry r luetant to give out ony figures about income, operat ing expenses or salaries. A few of the dailies have uni versity-employedl full time business and circulation managers. One luicky' editor at a mnidwestern ulniversity' even has a full time we(retary, whose salary is paid by Lhe school. Editors of dailies are p)rettytell satisfied wvith their boards of publications and feel that their newvspap)ers are almost entirely free from any form.of censorship )lr control. The survey revealed that these boards exist at nearly every state Iniversity having a~ daily paper and at two private colleges with Ia ilie.s. Ninety-five per' cent of the edi tors said their papers were per fectly free to pulblish anything they wanted. Several pointed out t hat they were' expected to stay within the limits ''of common ense anad decency."' Tlhe' edit or of a southern dlaily summed uip the attitude of most editors by saying: "if we know e'met hing is true, and we think it should be publ ished, we don't hesitate presenting it to our rneinra "
