Dr. H. Keith H. Brodie of

His appointment to the

Center.
Brodie, who was 35 last
Saturday, earned an A.B. degree in
chemistry at Princeton in 1961 and
was awarded an M.D. degree at
Columbia in 1965.
He served an internship at
Ochsner. Foundation Hospital in

DR. H. KEITH H. BRODIE
to joining the Stanford faculty in
1970.
Brodie is a member of the

one-year national search by a Duke

“The Department of Psychiatry
under Dr. Busse’s leadership since
1953 has evolved into one of the
finest units in the country,” Dr.
William G. Anlyan, vice president
for health affairs, said.
“The department has a balanced
program of patient care extending
into multiple North Carolina
communities and Durham County,”

For Bi-Weekly Employees
Wage Increases Announced
The pay checks for all bi-weekly
employees at the medical center
will be larger beginning with the
pay period that starts Monday.
New pay scales that were to
have gone into effect Jan. 1 and
would have meant increases for
many employees have been made
effective Sept. 2.
In addition, and in recognition
of the inflationary pressures that
hit everyone’s pocketbook, the
Sept. 2 increases are being made for
all bi-weekly employees.
Many employees received pay
increases on July 1. The increases
to be received beginning Monday
will depend in part on the amount
of increase, if any, the employee
received at that time or since then.
Each bi-weekly employee will
receive an increase based on one of
the following, depending on which
one gives him or her the greater
increase:
1. 7 per cent of the employee’s
June 30 pay rate, less
whatever percentage increase
he or she lias received since
then.
Or . . .
2. 2 Vz per cent of the
employee’s June 30 rate
regardless of whatever
increase he or she might have
received since then.
Or . . .
3. Whatever amount is needed
to bring the employee’s rate
up to the new minimum for
his or her job.
For example, under No. I
above: If you have received no
wage increase since June 30, you
will receive a 7 per cent increase
effective Monday.
Under No. 2, if you received a 5
per cent increase, for example, on
July 1, you will freceive an
additional 2Vi per cent of your June
30 rate effective Monday.
Under No. 3, you will receive
whatever increase is necessary to
bring your salary up to the new
minimum rate for your position.
In none of the cases above may
increases be made in excess of the
new maximum rate for an
employee’s particular position.
