Emarald Attociat* Editor
One Emerald reporter wan
ejected and a aecond allowed to
remain at a joint meeting of
Panhellcntc and the Inter-frater
nlty council Thursday night.
IFC reporter Pete Taussig was
asked to leave the meeting on
the ground* that Home of the ma
terial covered in the meeting wan
not to be reported.
Prevloualy Tauaalg had left an
IFC meeting when he refused
to let the council decide what it
wanted printed.
IKC President Pete Williams
pointed out that the organization
was not strictly a campus group
and therefore had the right to
close Its meeting at any time.
Under discussion at the meet
ing were plans for Greek Week.
After an hour and a half hassle, j
plans as submitted by a joint
committee from the two organ-:
Izations were referred back to
the committee with only one
change: no pairing of living or
ganization*). *
Dissension arose first, over the
work involved in planning the
weekend. Theta Chi President
Gary Jones suggested that ac
tivities be cut to a single, all
Greek dance.
Williams concurred, pointing
out that plans for the week as
outlined by the committee were
"somewhat different than our
original idea."
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. "I heartily recom
mend that we let it go until next
year. Chaos has set in. This isn’t
our Idea of Greek Week."

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.
