MEASURE Continued from Page 1 age usod to re< ruit the liest amt brightest academics we could find.” Measure 8 will reform the state employee's pension plan bv requiring them to contribute fi percent of their wages into their own retirement funds The mea sure also eliminates su.k leave roll-over and requires an H per cent return on all investments. Davis, who finalizes all facul ty senri hes for the University said recruiters will have to work ostro hard now to attract talent The University is currently conducting between 40 and 45 searches for faculty, she said. James Mooney, a law s« hool professor and member of the committee which oversees re< ruitrnent for that department, said the University offers con siderably lower salaries than oth er colleges in the nation. iviooney sain nn is arrant Mea sure H will have a fairly serious impact on recruitment at the law school. Not all faculty recruiters are worried. Some ft*ei the huge num ber of academics looking for jobs will offset any harmful effei ts of the measure Richard Kraus, head of the political science department, said his school is currently undergo ing throe farm It \ searches He also said that there are hundreds of applicants for those three posi tions. Kraus feels that the problem lies partly in the poor shape of California's education system. California is not hiring many fai - ulty members at its universities because of its financial woes, Kraus said. University employees frustrated Suzanne Marta 0*0on Osrfy CmmwU For employ*** across !he University campus, whether faculty, managerial or i laxst fieri staff. Measure 8 means more than )ust a ti peri ent deduction in salary For property specialist Susan Osterman, the measure has significant implications "I live a beans and rt< e exis tence as it is." Osterman said “I will have to pic k up a se« onri Job," Osterman is frustrated with the public's perceptions a I tout state workers "Its not a wel fare Job,” she said Osterman is fighting bock by choosing noi to patronize busi nesses and services that sup ported Measure ft i know of lot* of pooplt» who have pulled their money out of U S Bank and 1 won't buy gas at Chev ron anymore "Combined with theft per t ent employee contribution to their pension, that adds up to approximately a 12 |n>n ent cut in real pay." economics Pro fessor lames Ziliak said. “The impact is quite serious " The ft percent pension con tribution will t»* taken pretax because of an executive dec i sion made by former Gov Rolxirts If the pension con tribution was taken post-tax. the deduction would have been 9 percent, act ording to /.iliak One important issue is how unused sick leave is to be affix ted by Measure H Before the measure was passed, employees were allowed to use half of their unused sil k leave for their retirement fund For Roger Colton .stationary engineer at the University power plant. Measure 8 means he may not be able to use the t.14.1 hours of sick leave that he's saved over the past 28 years that he has worked for the University What is the incentive lor leaving time on the books anymore?" Colton said "i'll have to use my unused s« k leave or just flush it down the toilet Bob Cwozdz, a heating and ventilation mechanic at the University Physical Plant, said that Measure H gave unfair privileges to voters "In essence, every voter in the state can vote on my con tract," Cwozdz said "1 don't have an equal right to vote on Weyerhaeuser or IAVKB i on tracts " "But one thing we do hair to do when we hire someone is t un vince them that wo have a healthy educational system and that the state has a healthy atti tude towards higher education,” Kraus said.
