Engineer Salaries Continue To Increase : Chicago .U.R) Starting salaries for beginning engineers are continuing to increase, ac cording to figures compiled by Earl C. Kubicek, director of placement for Illinois Institute of Technology. . The figures show that the starting pay of the 1955 June engineering graduate with a bachelor of science degree climbed to $381 per month, com pared to the $363 received by the 1954 June graduate. The latest figure represents a decline from the all-time high of $383 received by the 1955 Janu ary engineering class. But, Ku bicek Said, the difference in the size of classes and other factors accounted t for the invariably higher starting wage received by mid-year graduates. Kubipek said averages, based on the starting, salaries of com bined June and January classes at IIT, have increased every year since 1949, when the average was $282 per month. immortal Davy Crockett Has Persistence of Santa .'
