To combat the difference in
average salary levels, Celeste
Ulrich, dean of health, physical
education and recreation, says
alternative enticements must be
used
"We try to trade on things like
our reputation, the (Eugene)
area those things,” Ulrich
says
Even with a national reputa
tion, offers from other schools
tempt P E faculty
"One of our top people has
been given a very lucrative offer
in the midwest and we re doing
every thing we can do to keep
'em," Ulrich says
While there are examples of
faculty heading off for bigger
money at other universities.

been "no great exodus — yet
According to Berdahl, a lot of
faculty members have taken a
wait and see attitude, mostly
because they're are committed
to the University Personal rea
sons also play a retentive role
“It's hard to sell your house in
this depressed economy,” Ber
dahl says
Inflation makes the problem
even worse "The value of the
University's average salary in
real terms is two-thirds of what
is was eight years ago." Tatter
sail says
Berdahl has figures to back
Tattersall In 1967 a new assis
tant professor made $10,000, he
says Adjusting for inflation, an
assistant at the same real in
come now would cost $27,000
The University pays between
$19,000 and $20,000. Berdahl
says
An average salary level that
doesn't keep pace with inflation
is not the only problem. Berdahl
says Some faculty barely make
enough to subsist, he says
"A number of professors are
below income assistance
levels ”
A local newspaper article last
June featured an assistant
professor at the University
whose children were eligible for
reduced price school lunches
Blame for the low average in
faculty salaries has been put in
a lot of places but none more
often than the Oregon Legisla
ture
The Legislature, which con
trols the purse strings for the
state system, has in the past and
especially this year, tightened
those strings to points that have
been labeled everything from
unthinkable to intolerable
"University professors
receive the same increases as
other public employees," Ber
dahl says "What the Legisla
ture didn't address are the mar
kets elsewhere "
The solution to the problem is
fairly obvious says Tattersall
