(UPI Telephoto) Medford Tribune SECTION D MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1961 PAGES I to 8 University Faculty Salaries Said Not In Strong Position Eugene Faculty salaries at the University of Oregon are not high enough to place the university in a strong bargain ing position in today's com petitive academic market, ac cording to a study of the sal arly picture made for the As sociation for Higher Education of the National Educatipn as sociation. The study, made by Dr. C. Ward Macy, professor and head of the economics depart ment of the University of Ore gon, is part pf a publication issued by the Association for Higher Education. The pub lication, "Compensation on the Campus's is a compliation of case studies of college and university faculty compensa tion practices from 1951-52 through 1959-60. Broad salary ranges at the university, as at all institu tions of the Oregon state sys tem of higher education, are established by the Oregon state board of higher educa tion following study within the institution and subject to legislative appropriations. Salaries Increase , While academic or faculty salaries at the University of Oregon have increased at a fairly steady and strong rate durng the last decade, faculty salaries at other institutions with which the university is in competition have also shown a strong upward trend and at the close of the last academic year, the university average trailed behind the 20 institutional average on which comparisons have been made. The study also underlines the limitations on supplemen tary benefits, which in many institutions add greatly to the salary compensation. "Bene fits in the nature of insurance, retirement,, and medical care for academic personnel of the University of Oregon are very limited,". writes Macy. The university employees are covered by social security lcigslation and they do have a state retirement program which gives them a reason able retirement allowance at age 65, if their service has been long enough say 25 years or more. Macy states that "The Uni versity of Oregon is handicap ped in recruiting staff mem bers because it lacks a satis factory retirement program.' No Live Insurance No group life insurance is provided by the University for its academic staff, nor is there provision made for em ployees to participate in such a program at their own ex pense. Medical care for the staff is not provided. Also listed by Macy among the compensation lacks is the limitation on funds to pay trav el expenses. If it were not for the availability of money from non-state sources, at tendance of the University of Oregon staff members at pro fessional meetings would be very low," he points out. Fringe benefits that are on the positive side, Macy writes, are the leaves of absence and financial - assistance for re search, which includes assist ants, clerical aid, materials, and some limited office space. The study, which covers 14 institutions (both private and state - supported) concludes that while faculty salaries have been rising, they are expected to continue this rise.

Boland of the United Nations General Assembly said here Wednesday night the situation that faces the U.N. is one of tension. Boland, from Ireland, said this was caused in part by the fact that new nations were finding national independence itself has not brought them the immediate education, wel fare and living standards for which they had hoped. "If they lose too much faith in freedom," Boland said, "they may surrender their personal liberty to some foreign or totalitarian rule in belief that in so doing they may insure a better material future for themselves and their children." . - Boland described the U.N. as the "furthest ' point to which the world community has so far shown itself pre pared to go toward institu tionalizing its common inter ests in the preservation of world peace and order. He spoke at the opening session of a model U.N. at the University of Oregon before about 3,000 persons. Game Officials Criticize Udall Portland -(UPD- The State Game Commission today criti cized Interior Secretary Stew art Udall for withdrawing U.S. Fish and Wildlife Serv ice witnesses from Federal Power Commission hearings here recently. The hearings were held in connection with rival propos als to build Mountain Sheep and Nez Perce Dams on the Snake river. The commission, in a letter to Udall, said testimony of the witnesses had been devel oped in close association and cooperation with state fishery agencies of northwest states. It said withdrawal of the wit nesses "tends to weaken the position of fish resources as it relates to water development in general. ' The commission also claim ed a four-year "crash" pro gram designed to solve fish passage problems at high dams on the Snake was not a safe projection" of - a time schedule. . . Experimental Dimension Is Added To Merit Program Chicago A new experi mental dimension has been added to the National Merit Scholarship Program, John M. Stalnaker, president, has an nounced.

They will cost NMSC more than $400,000 for the. period they are in force, he said. ceptional creative perform ance, 25 scholarships. 2.

Ethiopian Troops Kill Somalis Mogadiscio, Somalia - (UPD -Ethiopian troops using ma chineguns and bombs have killed more than 100 Somalis in Ethiopia near the French Somali and independent So malia borders, according to delayed reports reaching here today. Other shooting incidents in volving Ethiopian troops and Somalis were reported from other areas in a renewal of violence that first broke out along the ill-defined frontiers three months ago. A group of 92 Somali refu gees from the Ethiopian town of Dagahbur reached Hargei sa, in former British Somalia, and reported the massacre. They said that on April 4 a large force of Ethiopian soldiers marched an Dagah bur and razed the Somali sec tion of the city after Somali leaders had asked the district governor for independence. Child Unaware of Death of Relatives Opelousas, La. (UPD Five-year-old Tena Andrus remain ed in serious condition today, unaware that her sister and six other relatives were kill ed in a car-train collision on the outskirts of town. State police said the driver of the car, Mrs. Charles Ber nard, 30, apparently did not hear the Missouri-Pacific pas senger train as she approach ed the deserted crossing Wed nesday. The train, moving slowly dragged the car about, 50 yards. The Impact threw the occupants from the' vehicle. The dead were identified as Walter Andrus, 63, and his 61-year-old wife, and Mrs. Bernard's three children, Charles, 5, David, 3, and Mark, 2, and Joanne Andrus, 3, a grandchild of the Andrus couple. Mrs. Bernard was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrus. All lived in Opelousas. fields as the typical National Merit Scholar, 20 scholar ships. 4. For students who have shown an ability to depart from the traditional academic time pattern by entering col lege, with the approval of their secondary schools, with less than the full four years of secondary school education, 20 scholarships. Receipients will be among the Merit Scholars who will be announced April 26, Stal naker said, and all have been selected from among the Fin alist group in he current com petition. Not Identified However, he added, the par ticular students receiving the awards, for obvious reasons, will not be individually ident ified either to the public or Child Slightly Hurt In Four-Story Fall New York-IUPD-Mrs. Ther esa Sheenan's daughter, Mar garet, 2, fell out of a fourth story apartment window Wed nesday while her mother was talking on the phone.

Additional funds to finance the special scholarship were authorized by NMSC's board of directors at its last meet ing. Many of the students to be offered the scholarships were chosen with the aid of the National Merit Scholar ship Selection committee, a group of educators who met last January to name Nation al Merit Scholars. "This experimental pro gram results from three con siderations, Stalnaker said. "We wished to apply the find ings of research, to incorpor ate the lessons of experience, and to strengthen certain as pects of the Merit Program in ways not previously pos sible. "It is likely that the results of this practical experiment will lead to further improve ments in the Merit Program. But this is not our only goal. "We hope too that the find ings will in time have a value for all persons and organiza tions concerned with the dis covery and development of the nation's talented young people." The Merit Program's re search studies and the studies of others have shown that among very superior students, like the Merit Finalists, schol astic achievements has little relationship to creative per formance, Stalnaker pointed out. Similarly, he said, the traditional measures of schol astic aptitude are of little or no value for predicting cre ativity within the very su perior group. National Merit studies in this area began in 1958. The findings led to efforts to de vise an experimental method to obtain some indication of a student's creative perform ance and potential. The work was conducted during 1959 and 1960. The results led to asking for various kinds of additional information from the Semifinalists in the cur rent competition. It was on the basis of in formation obtained in this way and through information provided by school counselors or principals that the special awards in the first category were made, he stated.
