Asks Boyd to refuse increase Pay hikes anger Bernau By TOM ROSSI Of the Emerald Former ASUO Pres. Jim Bernau has requested Univer sity Pres. William Boyd to vol untarily forego the 10 per cent salary increase approved for him and other high-level ad ministrators on May 25 by the State Board of Higher Educa tion. Bernau, who contacted Boyd in a June 1 letter while still president, satd the money from salary increases for Boyd and other high-level adminis trators could instead be used to fund several ‘ badly needed' new faculty positions in state institutions. Bernau sent similar requests to R E. Lieuallen, chancellor of the State Board of Higher Edu cation, University Vice-Pres Gerald Bogen, and other members of the board and University administration. Also, Bernau sent letters to student body presidents throughout the state urging them to take similar action at their schools Bernau singles out high level administrators because he claims they are already overpaid. He says he "doesn’t buy the rightness in parity” ar gument made by Lieuallen and others who claim that adminis trators in Oregon already are among the lowest-paid in the state. Bernau estimates seven extra faculty could be hired in the state from the money al loted for salary increases to high-level administrators. He cites the situation at the University’s business school as proof of the need for addi tional faculty. Bernau says he is “tired of hearing hypocritical adminis trators say that students must bear the bite of inflation." Instead, Bernau is "looking for some leadership in the tough times ahead" in the form of voluntary rejection of salary increases. Lieuallen disagrees. In a re cent reply letter to Bemau, he claimed serious morale prob lems would eventually result in the selected administrators whose salaries were frozen. More importantly, Lieuallen said, serious problems would result in the recruiting of new administrators. He added that "in the real world, a major in centive continues to be real in come.” Lieuallen explained that salaries are set biennially on the basis of estimates of the economy and salary levels in other states. But, unlike the Legislature, the State Board can review and alter salaries at any time during the biennium. However, he added legal proceedings by those affected by such action was possible. Lieuallen cited four studies comparing salaries of univer sity presidents which indicated that presidential salaries in Oregon are below average. A University of Colorado study of American Association of Universities institutions showed that the University of Oregon paid the lowest salary of the sixteen respondents. "It will be exceedingly dif ficult to attract outstanding men and women to position of leadership in our system un less we pay competitive salaries," Lieuallen said. No enrollment limit forecast By LORI PETERSON Of the Emerald Fall term enrollment limitations will not be initiated at this Univer sity despite early cutoffs of new student applications at Oregon State University. This year the deadline for new freshmen is July 1. A similar en rollment freeze took effect Aug 29 last year on the Corvallis campus The cutoff date was moved up because enrollment at OSU is running 13 per cent ahead of last year, according to Wallace Gibbs. OSU registrar and director of ad missions Enrollment ceilings of 15,000 full time equivalent (FTE) students are imposed on both universities by the State Board of Higher Edu cation and the State Legislature, who funds them One student taking 15 credit hours or 15 students taking one credit hour qualify as an FTE. State funds totaling $1,500 are provided for each Oregon resident student up to the ceiNng figure. Registrations above that mark do not receive state support. Fall term enrollment at OSU ex ceeded state funding by 934 stu dents last year while University enrollment was 17,384, keeping under the allocated 15,000 FTE figure. OSU Dean of Administrations Milosh Popovich feels that an en rollment of 16,000 is still likely for the fall regardless of the early cutoff of new student applications “A lot of returning students are in the pipeline because our fresh men classes are always large," he stated. TOMORROW Banana Split Sale at Dairy Queen Buy one at regular price, get the second for c 13th & Hilyard University registrar Spencer Carlson expects all term enroll ment for Oregon to be around 17.500, qualifying for an FTE of 15.500. Popovich says OSU "got by in 1975-76 with the overload by tak ing some temporary measures "We anticipate we would just make our enrollment," said Carl son The measures included over filling classes and greater use of part-time staff and graduate teaching assistants. He further stated, “Reduced funding interferes with the objec tive of providing the best possible education." University Pres William Boyd said the cut-offs at OSU could possibly effect enrollment at the Eugene campus because the schools have some of the same general programs. Boyd does not expect a freeze on this campus. He says Univer sity students no longer feel economic or social pressures to complete their undergraduate work in four years. By limiting enrollment at univer sities with ceilings and higher ad mission requirements, state board officials say they hope to influence students to consider state col leges with fewer enrollment strains. Howard seeks post Over 400 supporters attended an assembly of electors in the Eugene Hotel Wednesday night and nominated Lowell educator Jim Howard by ballot as an inde pendent candidate for the Fourth Congressional District. Howard’s campaign workers will now take the signed ballots to Secretary of State Clay Meyers's office in Salem to verify that at least 250 of the signers are regis tered Oregon voters. If the list gets the okay, Howard will be placed on the November Ballot facing in cumbent Rep. Jim Weaver, D-Eugene, and Republican chal lenger Jerry Lausmann of Med ford.
