FIGHT FOR FACULTY-PART II UNC Losing Out In P.y PRINGLE PIPKIN A consideration of specific figures of the UNC faculty members' salaries will give credence to the general opinions expressed by Uni versity officials. A rundown of the figures paid to faculty for approximately nine months of employment shows that the highest amount of state funds paid to a full professor is approxi mately $12,000 to $13,000, and the minimum salaries is $7,500. The median salary is $8,900. There are, of course endowed chairs for full professors such as the Kenan Professorships which help to provide salaries ranging Irom $12,500 to $13,000. Here an associate professor can icceive up to $9,200 and down on the minimum salary of $6,500. The Median pay check for this group is $0,960. Thp maximum salarv of a UNC assistant professor is $7,200, the minimum $5,400, and the median $5,670. An instructor begins at $t,- 500 and his pay check can go as high as $5,500; the median salary is $4,800.

In other action Tuesday night, Jean Sutherland, a rising " junior nursing student from Greensboro, was elected chairman of the Wo men's Residence Council for the summer session. Legislature To Consider Twelve Bills Tonight at 7 o'clock, the student legislature will place under con sideration the bill to amend the by-laws of the Women's residence council. The passage of this leg islation would automatically open the doors of the WrRC sessions to the" public and to the press. There are eleven other bills on the calendar at this time. Seven of these are money bills, includ ing the Amateur Radio Club bill. A complete slate of presidential appointments, inpluding confirma tion of Dick Robinson as Attorney General, will also be considered by the legislature tonight. the average of the maximum salar ies paid to full professors by the private universities and colleges in the northeast is $13,850. Recently Princeton declared that the minimum 'salary of any . full professor would be $10,000. or $2, 500 greater than lowest rate paid by UNC for men of the same rank. The associate professors at public institutions of higher learning in the northeast receive maximum salaries which average $9,450. These same schools pay the assistant pro fessors maximum salaries which average $8,050. The instructors in northeast pub lic colleges get maximum salaries which average $6,558 or $1,050 greater than the figure paid by UNC. The faculty members of the dental school and of the school of medicine tire paid a yearly basic, and 1 onnseaiiontlv thev receive higher salaries than those employed nine ' months. The salary scale of the school of ' medicine ranks in the lower part of j the middle group of the salaries offered by medical schools across i the nation !

Salary Competition are in the range of the middle third of the dental schools. In the disparties were confined to the northern salary scales, it might be possible to dismiss the matter as simply compensation for a higher cost of living. However, a new doctor in a field of science was offered $6,700 to be an instructor at a southern school. His salary, incidentally, is greater - than that being paid to some of the men who instructed him in his graduate work at UNC. Another graduate student in the field of science will be getting $6. 500 when he goes to be an instruc tor at another southern school. One man left the school of edu cation to go to the University of Virginia where he would get a 20 per cent incerase in salary. A southern school of dentistry has offered positions which would provide a salary increase of $3,000 to two UNC faculty members. Another southern university offer, ed a member of the School of Busi ness Administration a $2,000 in crease.

The awards, three of which are presented through the "Journalism Foundation, are based on scholar ship and need. Also on the program is initia tion of six new members to Kappa Tau Alpha, journalism , scholastic honorary, and announcement of Press Club officers for 1958-59. Chancellor William B. Aycock will speak to the group at the United Congregational Christian Church. The scholarships, valued at $300, are named the O. J. Coffin Schol arship, the Quiney Sharpe Mills Scholarship, the Louis Graves received by members of probably every school and department in the University. However, the University does not compete against only the other members of the academic world. At present there are lucrative lures being offered by industry and the "other professions both oC which are enjoying a time of prosperity. According to Dr. Ingram, head of the Department of Geology and Geography, a new Ph.D. in geology can earn $1,800 more per year by entering industry. In ten years this same man would be earning $5,000 more each, year if he was working for a company instead of teaching. A man qualified to be a profes sor teaching advertising in the School of Journalism could prob baly make $25,000 if he was em- ployed by a firm dealing in this field. One industry offered a member of the physics department a salary of $10,500. Thus sum lacked only $3C0 of being double what this man was receiving at UNC.
