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

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

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.

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.”
