on higher re-enlistments of peo-
ple in technical and critical
skill areas," Kelley said.
"About one out of every four
qualified young men of military
age will be needed for active or
reserve duty," he said.
"Most will be needed for one
enlistment only, but about 25
percent of those who enter will
be needed for additional terms
of service."
The Pentagon estimates it
will be able to draw on a po-
tential enlistment pool of four
million men each year between
the ages of 18 and 22.
Kelley said reductions in the
size of the armed forces from
a Vietnam war peak of 3.5 mil-
lion in 1968 will be completed
by June, when they are sched-
uled to shrink to just under 2.5
million.
The administration's goal is
to end draft calls by July 1,
1973, by increasing the num-
ber of voluntary enlistments.
Kelley said this can be
achieved if military pay is suf-
ficient enough "to bear a rea-
sonable relationship to civilian
pay," servicemen are "treated
with respect," decent housing
and quality schools are provid-
ed, and military life becomes
"reasonably satisfying a n d
challenging."
At the same time he said the
armed forces will have to weed
out those "who are incompe-
tent, lazy or disloyal."
"Those people, even though
they comprise a very small per
cent of the total, take a dispro-
portionate amount of time to
supervise and they cause more
than their share of the trou-
ble that has erupted in recent
years," he said.

The University is expected to
propose an 11 per cent increase«
in faculty salaries and fringe bene-I

President Robben Fleming indi-
cated last night. -
In his State of the University ,
Address, Fleming said that Vice
President for Academic. Affairs,
Allen Smith, "has been working"I
with the 11 per cent figure in!
readying the appropriation requesti
for submission this week.
"We believe that it takes this
amount to recognize the slippage" i
in faculty salaries which has taken
place in recent years, the presi-i
dent said.i

Contacted last night, University
officials admitted that the 11 per
cent figure is slightly "unrealis-
tic." Although the University
sought a 10 per cent salary in-
crease for this fiscal year, the
Legislature appropriated funds
that allowed only a 6.5 per cent
increase.
In a national survey of faculty
salaries across the nation, the
University's rank has dropped sub-
stantially in recent years, caus-
ing i n c r e a s e d dissatisfaction
among University professors.
One of the major outgrowths of
this dissatisfaction has been in-
creasing interest among faculty
members toward professorial un-
ionization.

other issues-primarily sick leave
and break time-that the Univer-
sity is unnecessarily overstepping
their bounds as management. As
concerns sick time, the union
points out that there are specific
provisions in the contract con-
cerning when and how an employe
can take off sick time and there
are mechanisms to deal with ary
employe who abuses that pro-
cedure.
The University, however, has
takenhthe position that they have
a right to call any employe who
calls in sick, two, five or ten hours
later "to get additional informa-
tion."
The union contends that such
actions are not necessary and
are being used by the University
in an arbitrary manner -- some-
thing specifically forbidden in a
memo of "understanding" in the
' contract. Thiry, in his statement,
however, maintains that such ac-
tions are not "harassment."
Further, the union objects to
the position the University has
taken in regard, to break time.
The University, union officials
claim, has asserted it has the
right to tell employes where they
can and cannot go on their break
time, on the grounds that break
locations might interfere with the
functioning of the University.
Union officials, however, feel
that some such restrictions are
clearly "capricious."
"Employes have been forbid-
den to go to restaurants and have
a cup of coffee since they might
come back late," said one union
steward.
McCracken maintains that if
an employe is abusing the rest
period, then it is the University's
job to discipline him. "It is un-
fair to punish 80 per cent of the
union for the actions of maybe
20 per cent," says McCracken.

After the defeat of the Ruckna-'

I for clarification of how "excep-
tional positive value" of classified

Schuman, designing his proposal
as a compromise between RPC's
report and the Rucknagel motion,
answered that the phrase was to
provide "flexibility" to those who
would have to interpret it.

the establishment of a "Review

"exceptional" requests for classi-
