Teachers Ask Wage Hike From Salary Sub-Corhmittee SALEM (Special) — Everybody needs better salaries. And the teachers in the Oregon State System of Higher Education are no different, according to those who appeared before the salary subcommittee of the Joint Ways and Mean Com mittee Thursday night. Chancellor Roy Lieuallcn said the subcom mittee was "dealing with the most crucial part of the budget” as he urged adoption of the proposed budget for higher education submitted by Gov ernor Tom McCall and by the Oregon State Sys tem of Higher Education. Representatives of the American Association of University Professors urged the subcommittee to consider a slightly different method of projecting salary needs for the biennium. The AAUP's proposed salary budget would be slightly higher than that of the State System. The Oregon State System of Higher Education budget sets target average salaries for 1967 68 at the University and OSU at $12,122 and at $12,801 in 1068119 This is a percentage salary increase of 10.28 the first year and 560 the second year. The AAUP proposals were somewhat higher, with an increase of 12.98 per cent the first year and 5.30 per cent the second. Lieuallcn explained average salaries for the staff of Oregon institutions of higher learning have climbed 28 per cent since 1961. In that same period, thr rate of competition among institu tion has climbed 31 per cent. James Jensen, president of OSU, explained part of this increased rate of competition by pointing out each new staff member joining a state insti tution has "each year a greater investment in dollars in his education. "It goes without saying, if previous salaries were correct, an increase is just as correct,” he said. Out of 19 comparable institutions, the Univer sity and Oregon State jointly ranked number 13 in terms of salary. Oregon’s universities ranked number eight in 1957-58. Those who spoke before the salary subcommit tee stressed the need to raise salaries according to the proposed budget in order to keep present qualified staff members in Oregon. Another educator said, "It costs more to re place a good man than to increase his salary enough to keep him." An institution must offer higher and better wages to bring new people in than they would have to offer to keep people already loyal to the school, he said. However, he said, the institution must be able to offer something better than they are presently offering in order to persuade good professors to stay. Fall Term Sophomore Graduates This Spring By SUE HEIN/ l im-raM Hiatt Writer Fall, term this year, Deanna Pankratz was an academic sopho more, hut .he's going to gradu ate in June. During the past 18 months, Mrs. Pankratz, a psychol ogy major, has averaged 29 credits per term. Sound like a phenomenal study load? Well. Mrs. Pankratz didn't acquire all of her credits accord ing to the average (register, at tend class, study, take exams) procedure. A program passed by the fac ulty in February, 1960, has en abled Mrs. Pankratz to receive credit for 30 of the required 180 merely by taking .examinations. This program allows Univer sity students to challenge courses for credit by submitting a peti tion a month in advance to the Academic Requirements Commit tee, gaining approval of the de partment head, and passing a final examination. One dollar per credit hour is charged in the program. Mrs. Pankratz had been through nurses’ training before entering the University, but found that the courses in her nursing school were non transferable. So, through taking examinations in home eco LANE WATSON FOR CO-OP BOARD nomics, health education, and psy chology classes, she has gained 30 credits. Her credits by exami nation were given on a pass-no pass basis. “It hasn’t been too hard,” she stated, "1 just have to remember to start at the beginning of a term and not put things off."
