Professorial Salary Level Jumps to New

Heights

AP News Analysis
WASHINGTON - College pro-
fessors may not be in the indus-
trial tycoon class in salaries yet,
but they are moving up.
Although there still are some
"poverty cases" on the higher ed-
ucation scene, generally things are
getting rosier every year for col-
lege and university faculties.
There have been a couple of re-.
cent appointments in New York
state that even a tycoon might
blink at in surprise.
The legislature has established
some special chairs for both state
and private universities that carry
a $100,000 annual price tag. It
wanted to provide an "apex of
excellence" for the state educa-
tional tructure.

Not all of this is salary. The
professor must use it for travel,
staff and research assistants.
Dr. C. N. Yang, Chinese-born
Nobel Prize-winning physicist, was
named to one of these professor-
ships at the State University at
Stonybrook. In his case, the per-
sonal salary component has been
reported to be $45,000 a year.
Arthur Schlesinger Jr., who won
the Pulitzer Prize for his "A
Thousand Days" portrait of the
years he spent in the White House
with the late President John F.
Kennedy, has just signed a con-
tract for the $100,000 Albert
Schweitzer Chair in Humanities
at City University of New York.
These are exceptional cases, but

the over-all picture isn't bad
either.
The recent annual salary sur-
vey of the American Association
of University Professors showed
that Harvard University again led
the nation with an annual average
salary for all fulltime faculty
members of more than $17,500 a
year.
That average includes not only
full professors, but associates, as-
sistants and instructors.
Ranking second was the Uni-
versity of Chicago, in the $16,000
to $16,500 class. And right behind
them at the same level was Par-
sons College of Fairfield, Iowa.
Parsons? Yes, indeed. This once-
floundering college had 212 stu-
dents and paid its professors an

average of $3,600 a year when a
new president took over in 1955.
Now it ranks with the top institu-
tions of the country in salaries.
Parsons' president, Millard G.
Roberts, has a motto: "Buy a good
faculty. This costs money. Pay
it. This means raiding other facul-
ties. Do it."
That, in a nutshell, is why col-
lege salaries are rising. The com-
petition is fierce for distinguished
scholars. Institutions that have
them want to keep them. The pro-
fessor, especially if he is an out-
standing one, is operating in a
seller's market.
The association study, based on
figures voluntarily supplied by 905
universities and colleges, showed
an average yearly salary of $9,816

for all faculty members combined.
This is a nine-month salary for
the academic year and does not
reflect what other income a teach-
er might earn in summer employ-
ment, consulting fees and so on.
Perhaps more significant, the
association said this was 7.6 per
cent higher than in the previous
year-a rate of climb high enough
for the first time to achieve a
doubling of faculty salaries in a
decade.
In a separate study, the Na-
tional Education Association re-
ported a median salary for full-
time teachers in colleges and uni-
versities of $9,081 - an 11.2 per'
cent jump from two years ago.
A median is different from an
average. It means that there are

as many salaries above that figure
as there are salaries below it. In
a large sample, however, the med-
ian and average are usually close.
This survey showed that women,
who make up nearly 20 per cent
of the faculties included, made a
much lower median salary-$7,732.
It said one reason for this was
that there are more women in the
lower ranks than at the full pro-
fessor level. Another is that one-
fourth of the women are employed
in the Southeast, where salaries
are lower than the national
median.
The professors' association study
also took note of this regional
differential, but said the gap has
been d e c 1 i n i n g "significantly"
since 1960.

The association had a section
on "cases of poverty" too. And it
said since all the figures in its
study are voluntarily submitted
these may not include the nation's
most improverished colleges.
One identified only as a church-
related liberal arts college in the
Midwest paid its full professors
$6,300 a year on the average.
Another, a predominantly Negro
church-related institution, had
one-third of. its fulltime faculty
on the instructor level and aver-
aging less than $4,300 a year.
It said its examples "should
suffice to correct the impression
that all academic incomes are now
approaching reasonably adequate
levels."

He stressed in the dialogue that he
did not believe America has tried
to use "political skills" in settling
Vietnamese problems.
When asked about possible
changes in Selective Service pro-'
cedures, Cavanagh said that pres-
ent procedures are "basically in-
equitable" and are "administered
capriciously."
He expressed favor with pro-
posals that would give draftees the
option of serving in domestic pro-
grams. One of these could be
"service among the poor in Watts."
He also stressed that the. choice of
service should be guaranteed to

Elsewhere in the kaleidoscope of
crisis that the military govern-
ment hopes now to end without
further recourse to arms:
-Tear gas and warning shots
from Vietnamese marines sup-
pressed rioting by a howling mob
of 2,000 or 3,000 antigovernment,
anti-American demonstrators who
marched in torch-lit procession
from a rally at the Buddhist In-
stitute in Saigon.
-Civil authority collapsed In
Hue,. a stronghold of Buddhism
and rebellion 400 miles north of
Saigon. The mayor, Lt. Col. Phan
Van Khoa, who is also governor
of Thua Thien Province, pulled out
with 1,000 loyal troops and set up
headquarters at Hung Thuy, five
miles away. Forty-five American
and other foreign nationals also
quit the city. Others took shelter
at the guarded U.S. Military As-
sistance Command compound.
-Operating far from the cen-
ters off unrest, Vietnamese troops
reported killing 94 Viet Cong and
capturing 50 in a series of brisk
fights Thursday in the Mekong
River delta. Government losses in
one case, a defensive action
against about 600 raiders, were
called heavy. Elsewhere the war
continued at a relatively ordinary
pace.
Hush-Hush
Premier Ky and his chief mil-
itary rival held their hush-hush
meeting at U.S. Marine headquar-
ters at Chu Lai, 340 miles north-
east of Saigon and 52 miles south
of Da Nang, where government
forces crushed a Buddhist-led up-
rising Monday. A U.S. plane
brought Thi in from Hue.
It was the military junta's dis-
missal of Thi March 10 as com-
mander of the 1st Corps area,
the five northern provinces of
South Viet Nam, that set off the
current uproar for quick restora-
tion of the civilian rule which
Ky had promised in late 1967.
The two look much alike. The
resemblance between the premier
and his archrival is so close that
foreigners frequently c o n f u s e

Ky Gestures
Before leaving Saigon to take
personal charge of damping down
the remaining embers of revolt in
the north, Ky had made a gesture
of peace to the Buddhist hierarchy.
He ordered down the triple
fences of barbed wire with which
security forces blocked the en-
trances to Saigon's main pagoda
four days ago, after anti-Ameri-
can rioting set off by the shooting
of a Vietnamese soldier by a U.S.
Army private.
Ky said this was to permit the
faithful access to the shrine dur-
ing celebrations, already begun, of
Buddha's birthday in June.
