Faculty Salaries Cause Debate • • • (Continued from page I) which had been included in the budget presented Friday. Final action will have to come from the full State Board when it discusses the budget in July. The difference between the two plans is based on the table of 19 schools with which the University and Oregon State compare sala ries. The two schools have slipped to 14th on that list since 1957-58. when they were eighth. Plan II would have the target salaries equal to the average of salary of the 19 schools, based on a formula which adds the aver age salaries of each school to gether and divides the total by 19. Plan I uses a different base for the average salary. It takes the total number of teaching positions Budget... (Continued from Page 1) present instructional level of the schools, and improvements in fac ulty salaries. Enrollments at State System schools are expected to climb to 53,253 in the fall of 1967 and 53,139 in the fall of 1968, the years which the proposed budget covers. Fall term enrollment was 42,268 this year and is expect ed to be 46,219 next fall . The University is expected to have 14.050 students in the fall of 1968, compared with 12,248 this fall and 12,976 estimated for next fall. In order to maintain the State System-wide student-teacher ra tio ratio of 17.4, 342 faculty mem bers will have to be hired during the 1967-69 biennium. The Uni versity will hire 58 additional faculty members to its 16,286 student-teacher ratio. These additions will cost $6.8 million, with $1.1 to go to the University. New Administrators The State System will also add 57 academic positions in adminis trative and service departments as a cost of $1.3 million. The Uni versity will get nine new admin istrators at a cost of $216,230. The amount requested for stu dent irregular wages will be SI 9 million for 1967-69 compared to S1.6 for 1965-67. Among other expenditures in the budget: • $1.5 million for the cost of operation and maintenance of new buildings to be in use during 1967 69. This includes $191,221 for the second addition to the Science building, the addition to Prince Lucien Campbell Hall, the com puter center, and a human re search laboratory. Increase for Summer • An increase of $931,342 for summer session budgets, raising them to $3.2 million. $338,118 of the increase goes to the Uni versity, where the summer ses sion budget will be $1 million for the biennium. Of the total State System cost, 55 per cent will be paid for from student fees. • The Division of Continuing Education will continue to fi nance 90 per cent of its opera tion out of fee income. The to tal budget will be $4.5 million. • The addition of a $200,000 emergency fund for the Board. This fund was depleted in meet ing the unexpected enrollment jump at State System schools’ fall term 1965. Duncan, Morgan Plan TV Debate Congressman Robert Duncan and Howard Morgan—opponents in the race for the Democratic nomination to the U.S. Senate— will meet face-to-face in a live television debate at 8:30 p.m. today on KEZI-TV- channel 9, Eu gene. Honors College Sets Discussion Session The Honors College will hold its second discussion on “What’s Wrong with the Honors College?” at 8 p.m. today in the Honors College Center. A panel of student critics will lead the discussion. Faculty mem bers are invited to attend. in the 19 schools and divides that figure into the total amount paid for salaries in the 19 schools. In other words, Plan II is based on average per school. Plan I on average per faculty member. Lieuallen noted that either plan would raise faculty salaries to a level that would rank the Uni versity and Oregon State in the middle of the 19 schools. Both call for substantial increases, the greatest since 1957-58. Lieuallen agreed that Plan 1 was "a more realistic measure of our competition” but said he recommended Plan 11 because it was more likely to win legisla tive approval. The basis of Plan II —using a per school average— was used by the 1965 Legislature. He said that the “unanimous recommendation of the institu tional executives will be different than mine.” Arguing on behalf of Plan 1, Flemming noted that the compe tition for faculty members was getting worse, not better. “I would hope that if the Board feels Plan II represents our needs better, it would be presented to the governor’s office and to the legislature," Flemming argued. He said there was a possibility that the Legislature might ap prove Plan I "if we can develop strong supporting evidence." He pointed out that there will be a new governor and a new Legisla ture in 1967. Millar argued with Flemming’s optimism on legislative approval. Ho pointed to the decision by the 1965 Legislature to make the hiring salary equal to the average salary as a sign of a change in legislative thinking. Millar also noted that many faculty members object when new faculty are hired at higher sala ries than present faculty, lie said this morale problem “makes de sirable any plan that Hives ns more dollars for the staff wo have.” Mrs. Johnson agreed with Lieu-! alien that Plan l would he more j realistic in terms of its chances j of passage by the Legislature “if [ it can be argued that it is a mini-1 mat proposal.” Oregon Daily Emerald The Oregon Daily Emerald 1* published five time* in September and five day* a week during the academic year, except during examination periodn, by the Student I'ubli cation* Hoard of the University of Oregon.
