Buffkins said the new
organization was formed at a
meeting held Sept. 24-26 on the
University of Maryland’s
College Park campus at
tended by more than 500
blacks from 157
predominantly white in
stitutions. Purpose of the
organization is “to increase,
improve and advance the
overall status, quality and
presence of blacks at
predominantly white in
stitutions of higher education
through the establisiiment,
plementatibif of "policies,
procedures and practices at
the national, r^ional and
local level, with membership
carrying two classifications-
individual and institutional.”
The executive planning
committee, to be composed of
13 members, will design a
constitution for the
organization, refine and

specific problem areas that

Assembly Sponsors
internship Program
Vance Hall, along with the
Men’s Assembly sponsored
the second annual Student
Internship Program. The
Department of Education, the
Counseling Center, and
various Student Activities
participated in the program.
Outstanding superintendents
and principals were invited
from area schools. There was
good participation from the
Student Interns and Student
Practitioners. The internship
program included deep and
informal discussions on school
philosophies. Student
Teachers, guidelines and
various handbooks, grooming
and dress codes, discipline
problems, speech man
nerisms, Middle School
concepts, preparations of
lesson plans and other ex
periences of student teachers.
Their Superintendents
spoke on the importance of job
interviews and the type of
person wanted in the public
school system. Mr. W.R. Hall,
Assistant Superintendent,
Cumberland County Schools,
offered students an op
portunity to participate in a
Student Volunteer Program
which would give the students
experience in the public
school before entering
practice teaching. This
program would enable the
student to make good contacts
and good public relations for
the University. Dr. Clarence
White, Director of Student
Teaching volunteered to
coordinate the program along
with J.C. Jones, Dean of
Students. After evaluating the
program, it was felt that there
would be more coordination
between the Placement Of
fice, the English Department,
and the Public School Of
ficials. Additional program
activities that were suggested
included demonstrations on

Gap Between Wlen^s & Women^s
Faculty Salaries Widening
The gap between salaries
of full-time men and women
college faculty members is
widening, according to a
report released Sept.22 by
HEW’s National Center for
Education Statistics. The
report showed that the
average salary of men on
nine- and ten-month contracts
rose 6.7 percent last year,
while the average salary for
women rose 6.1 percent.
“The dollar gap between
men’s and women’s salaries is
now greater than in 1974-75 at
all faculty ranks,” Marie D.
Eldridge, NCES ad
ministrator, said.
She added that the
discrepancy between men’s
and women’s salary increases
was due largely to changes at
the instructor level, where
men’s salaries increased by
8.2 percent, compared to a 7.2
percent gain for women.
The salary data are part
of an annual NCES report on
college and university faculty
composition and pay. The
report also showed that the

members increased by four
percent between 1975-76 and
1975-76. But since the number
of men faculty members also
increased, the proportion of
women on faculties gained
only .5 percent-from 23.8 to
24.3 percent. The greatest
increase in the number of
women was at the instructor
level, and the smallest at the
rank of professor. In fact, the
percentage of women full
