According to Williams, the original plan was for a week of "planned spontaneity to have fun within our own orbit." "We have lost our objective," Williams said.

Barrington Report Placed Before State Legislature By Sam Frear Emerald Reporter A new salary schcedule for state employees is now being considered in the state legislature which would affect all of the 1000 different state jobs—from Fish Liberator and Potato Specialist to University president and Stu dent Union Director. The plan, now being heard be fore the Ways and Means Com mittee was developed by Bar rington Associates of New York after a survey of state jobs. All 17,500 state employees would be divided- into 23 ‘‘job group” pay brackets. In each pay bracket there would be 5 upward pay steps, each a 6% increase of the starting salary. The purpose of the plan is to place jobs of comparable worth in the same pay brackets. Promo tions would be by merit review, held at least once every two years. Most jobs connected with the University for the most part are in the upper 20'of state em ployees that are in the higher pay brackets. The other SO', of employees are in the first seven pay scales. President’s Salary liaised Under the proposed pay scale, the University president would receive a salary ranging from $946 to $1228 a month. This would make a difference of over $4000 a year between the start ing salary and the sixth stage. Other salaries for University professors would be: Dean of a school, minimum of $725 to a maximum of $941 monthly. Full professors from $606 to $788. Associate Profes sors, $512 to $663. Assistant Pro fessors from $390 to $506. 1730 Employes Affected The Barrington plan, if enact ed by the legislature, would af fect 1730 employees immediate ly, these getting pay raises right away. Another 14,500 employees would be readjusted to the new schedule over a two year period. Of the 17.500 state employees, 1250 would be classified as over paid in their present position and would be readjusted to make the pay commensurate with the job done.
