The raise, amounting to $500 annually, goes into operation July 1 and will affect the wages of both instructors and assistant profes- sors.

The salary hikes give instructors equal pay at both schools, but as- sistant professors at Harvard will be paid $7,500 to $8,700 annually compared to the rate of $7,000 to $8,000 at Yale.

Health Plan Will Insure 'U' Faculty Major medical expense insur- ance will go into effect July 1 for two University groups, Controller Gilbert L. Lee, Jr., has announced. Included in the new plan will be members of the University Senate who are faculty members with professional rank, Lee reported, as well as other 'staff members receiving $10,000 or more in an- nual salary. Acceptances of the new plan in these two groups exceeded the 75 per cent margin required to make the new insurance effective. Two other groups, faculty members with the rank of instructor and staff members in the $7,500 to $9,999 annual category, did not favor the plan in sufficient num- bers, Lee reported. As a result, members in these groups will continue with Blue altered by the proposed increases. Senate members and other staff members eligible for major medi- cal expense insurance who have not already signed an application for the new plan will have until July 31 to do so without the neces- sity of providing evidence of insurability, Lee said.
