- Teachers say: ‘Not enough’ $200 pay raise voted The Eugene School Board voted Thursday night to increase teachers’ salaries for the 1973-74 school year. The board agreed to raise the base teacher salary from the present $7250 to $7450. But the increase did not satisfy Eugene teachers, who have threatened to strike if their salary demands are not met. The teachers have requested an increase to $7550. That figure had been recommended by an independent fact-finder hired to study district salary conditions. The board’s action came during a recess of the regular meeting of the Eugene School District Budget Committee. Prior to the recess, the budget committee defeated two alter native salary plans. When the budget committee reconvened after the board’s action, the committee voted to accept the fact-finder’s $7550 figure. Gordon Quigley, president of the Eugene Education Association (EEA) said that the board figure of $7450, a $220 raise, was unacceptable to the EEA. According to Quigley, the budget committee recom mendation gives Eugene teachers an opportunity to reject the board’s smaller increase and opens the door to the possibility of a future reversal of the board’s decision. Quigley said that Eugene teachers will vote today on whether to accept or reject the board’s figure of $7450. The EEA Action Committee will meet in closed session at 4 p.m. today to review the results (Continued on Page 11) Surplus Co-op funds used to help Whitebird White Bird may breathe a sigh of relief. The $2,500 it has been struggling to scrape together before April 23 to meet a mort gage payment threatening its existence has been donated from the cash reserve of the University Co-op. “We can send them a check tomorrow,” said Director of the Co-op, Gerald Hensen, following the Thursday night board meeting in which the decision was made to donate White Bird these funds from the Co-op’s $220,000 cash reserve. The money was donated because of a proposal presented by board member Marie Hart man. The proposal was presented during a discussion about the problem of the surplus of money that has been accumulating over the past few years from left over rebate money. “It is the feeling of the board members,” the proposal read, “that a donation to White Bird would be a use of the surplus funds in such a way that reflects the interests of the students.” According to a letter Hartman received from Ethan Nebalkopf, program director of White Bird, 20 per cent of the White Bird caseload is made up by students, and numerous students in CSPA, ESCAPE, the psychology department and the health department receive training through White Bird programs. The problem of disposing with surplus funds is not a new one to the Co-op and is by no means resolved. Even though $2,500 worth of the problem has been eliminated, the board now not only has the task of deciding what to do with the remaining $19,500, but also must decide what to do with the money that will most assuredly accumulate in the years to come. Ideas discussed for the allocation of this money included the prospects of more donations, a reduction in merchandise costs, building a warehouse, and making payments on the $400,000 mortgage due in 14 years. Some of these ideas might not be feasible because they could impede the Co-op’s tax-exempt status. Following further discussion, a proposal was passed stating that the present money will be used for investment and-or donation purposes, while future money will go to the reduction of mer chandise prices with the provision that none of these proposals will infringe on the tax exempt status of the Co-op or will be illegal.

The boycotters say they need publicity to demonstrate their outrage at outrageous meat prices, and perhaps, to have some effect cm stores that have been picketed and petitioned in the Springfield area.
