According to AAUP
National Faculty Salaries
7.3 Per Cent Higher Now
(CPS)—The normally gloomy
report of the American Associa
tion of University Professors Com
mittee Z—the committee on the
economic status of the profession
—sounded a happy note this'
year as it announced that the
salaries of the nation's college
teachers are higher than ever
before—up 7.3 per cent over
last year.
The report, which was released
Friday at the association’s annual
meeting, noted that the percen
tage rise was the highest of any
year this decade and that for the
first time since 1957 faculty pay
has risen at a rate considered
essential to meet the goals of the
President’s Committee on Edu
cation Beyond High School.
That advisory body, reporting
to former President Eisenhower,
set as a national target the dou
bling of faculty salaries before
1970.
The southern states have been
important beneficiaries of the
increased salaries, the report said,
and thus the gap between the
South and the rest of the na
tion has narrowed.
Three in South
Notably, of the five schools
said to have increased salaries
by the greatest percentage in
the current year, three are in the
South—the University of Ken
tucky, Tuskegee Institute in Ala
bama. and Pan American College
in Texas. The other two were
Parsons College (Fairfield, Iowa)
and Wheelock College (Boston,
Mass.).
The average salary for a full
professor at a university in the
South was reported to be $13,
206, compared with $15,602 for
the rest of the country. In church-,
related liberal arts colleges, the
full professor’s average salary
was $10,554.
“Over the past two years the
acceleration in compensations
for all ranks has been quite
steady and quite remarkable,”
the report said. I
William Baumol, a Princeton
faculty member, chairman of the
committee, said that this year's
increases had been most sub
stantial at the top ranks. In fact,
he said, this is a pattern seen
in past reports—the higher the
rank, the more rapid the percen ;
tage increase in pay.
Average Salary $9,816
During 1965 (16, the report said
that the average for all faculty
members reached $9,816. While
the average dollar increase at
the lowest level, the instructor, i
was only $445, it was $1,035 for i
full professors.
The average pay for full pro
fessors in the top pay category
of “AA” stood at $23,290. In the
lowest category—-an “F" ranking
—the same academic rank aver- J
aged only $7,160, thus underlin
ing the great differences between
institutions.
While the nationwide average
salary for full professors is $13,
500 and for instructors, $6,740,
one church-related liberal arts
college reported that it pays full
professors only $6,300 and in
structors only $4,300.
The report noted that, for its
purpose, all academic salaries
are figured on a nine-month ba
sis. This means that actual sal- j
aries tend to be considerably
higher with the addition of either
summer session teaching pay, re
search grants, or consulting ap-!
pointments.
Not Part-time
On the other hand, none of the
statistics include part-time fac
ulty members and teaching as- j
sistants. In many universities ;
these assistants carry much of
the burden of undergraduate in- j
struction. The report noted they ,
are entrusted with major teach- !
ing assignments, are paid on a
much lower scale, and are gen
erally referred to as “academic
slave labor.”
In terms of average compen
University Receives
New Education Grant
An award of $106,510 from the
U.S. Office of Education will en
able the University to participate
in the Educational Opportunity
Grants Program. Under the pro
gram, authorized by the Higher
Education Act of 1965, needy stu
dents will receive grants to aid
in financing their education.
The $106,510 award is for the
1966-67 academic year. Grants
will be available to entering
freshmen as well as to current
students.
First-year grants will range
from $200 to $800, with an equal
amount provided from the Uni
versity’s scholarship or loan
funds, including National Defense
Education Act loans, or state or
private financial aid programs
(excluding work-study funds).
These amounts could be in
creased by $200 for the last three
years of college for a student
ranking in the upper half of his
class the preceding year.
Once awarded, a grant would
last for the duration of under
graduate study, provided the stu
dent continues to qualify for as- j
sistance. Need will determine the
amount of each student’s grant,
which may not exceed what he
needs to meet his normal college
expenses.
Howard Ramey, director of fi- ]
nancial aids at the University, j
v/ill administer the program.
Ramey has indicated that exact
details of the program have not
yet been worked out, and that it
is difficult to estimate the aver
age amount of the grants.
Finance Committee
To Discuss Budget
The Committee on Finance and
Business Affairs of the State
Board of Higher Education will
meet at 9 a.m. today in Salem to
consider its operating budget plan
for 1967-69.
The budget for all schools of
the State System of Higher Edu
cation will have to be passed by
the full State Board and will be
presented to the state legislature
at its meeting beginning in Janu
ary.

Civic Club Approves
Millrace Preservation
The Metropolitan Civic Club
voted Wednesday to accept a com
mittee report culling for the pres
ervation of Eugene's 110-year-old
Millraee.
The committee last February
called the millraee "a natural,
unique and potentially beautiful
attraction.” and said the water
way provides the necessary frame
work for creating open space
pedestrian walkways betw e e n
downtown Eugene and the Uni
versity campus.
Committee m e m her Robert
Thomas said Wednesday that ac
quisition of necessary right-of
way for preserving the millraee
and constructing an adjacent
walkway is a matter of "great
necessity."
Thomas warned that the temp
tation by adjacent property own
ers to till in the millrace is be
coming: (treater. lie estimated it
would cost about $300,000 to pur
chase the necessary right-of-way,
to make improvements and con
struct walkways.
Thomas said it would be feasi
ble to finance part of the cost
under the government’* "open
space" or “urban beautification"
program.
Water flow in the millrace ran
be accomplished In a number of
ways, Thomas explained One
would be to narrow the width,
possibly to ten feet, while an
other would t»e to connect the
millrace to an existing 30 inch cul
vert running under 11th Avenue.
