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

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

"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. "It is hard to put Men
sure 8 in a good light "
Who wo hire is one of the
most important aspects of this
University." Davis s.iui "It
remains to lie seen whether we
can counter the effet ts of Mea
sure 8 and still get the imst "
