Faculty Salaries Will Be Raised By BILL RYAN U.B. will increase its tuition be-*-------— - ginning next Fall, September 1956. j prise. The Manufacturers and Dr. Claude E. Puffer, Acting Chan- | Traders Trust Co. contributed cellor so announced. The increase I $100,000 for a professorship of Vol.6 UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO, FRI., JAN. 1956 Campus Barrel ’Kick Off’ To Launch 1956 Campaign will be fifty dollars per semester in all divisions of the University, except for the pre-clinical program in the School of Nursing for which there will only be an increase of $38.75. The tuition in the Mil lard Fillmore College will be in creased from $19.25 per credit hour to $22.00. Problems, tutorial and informal work in Millard Fillmore College and for tutorial work in the summer session will be $29.00 per credit hour. For most of the divisions of the University, the tuition will be $350 per semester, or $700 per aca demic year. Dr. Puffer also announced that the faculty and clerical and ad ministrative staff of the University will receive salary increases of 5 per cent beginning February 1, 1956. Further improvements ef fective July 1, 1956 are being studied. The Ford Foundation grant to the University of $963,000 will be received in two parts. The first half will be invested on July 1, 1956 and the remainder will be given July 1, 1957. Dr. Puffer stated that the method of deter mining the individual grants was the payment of a one year payroll as determined for a liberal arts college with related liberal arts courses. In addition to the Ford grant U.B. received $200,000 from the National Gypsum Co. for a professorship in American Enter- Banking and Finance. Dr. Puffer stated, “By 1968 we shall be receiving an annual in come of $38,000 from the invest ment of the Ford grant and this income will be used to support the salary increases for our faculty and staff.” “The other grants,” he said, \have l)oen specifically desig nated and cannot be used for an across the board salary increase.” “The University is expecting to increase the scholarship funds available for next year,” he said. Veterans will be permitted a more liberal method of extended pay ment of tuition, which will spread the load over a longer period. Dr. Puffer said that the an nouncement of the increase directly following the Ford grants was a \coincidence.” The University Board had already been considering the increase and had' come to the conclusion that it was necessary to maintain and raise the general level of the University. He said, “At the December 16 meeting of the Board of Trustees it was de cided with great reluctance to in crease tuition.” The last tuition increase of $25 a semester was made two years ago. A comparison of local col leges reveals that tuition next fall will be approximately as follows: U.B. $700; Rochester $850; Syra cuse, Hobart, and Hamilton, $800; Lafayette $900; and Cornell’s non state supported divisions are $860. — S p e c t r u m p h o to by BUI R y a n Sal Corrallo, President Board of Managers, contributes first dollar to Campus Barrel Chairman, Jan NItsch. “Help others to help themselves” were the key works that opened the 1956 Campus Barrel Campaign. Jan Nitsch, chairman of the com mittee, explained at the annual kick-off dinner that the $3700, given by the students of the University, would help people of the Buffalo area and people in many foreign countries to rebuild their lives, that had been either shattered by dis ease or war. It was further stated that foreign students as well as some university student would be given money to complete his or her education. The main speaker for the eve ning was Dan Idzik, president of the student body at Buffalo State. Mr. Idzik, was in Japan this past summer studying the cultural as pects. He represented World Uni versity Service, which g;ives aid to foreign countries by providing money for hospitals and schools. This organization will receive $700 from the Campus Barrel. Sal Corrallo, president of the Board of Managers, officially opened this year’s Barrel by giving the first student dollar. One hun dred and eight dollars was pro vided by the rest of the people in attendance at the dinner. Other or ganizations that have already pledged their support are Stunt Nite, Kampus Karnival, The Ugly Man contest, and Alpha Phi Delta’s Jazz concerts. “In order to make this year’s goal, each student on this campus will have to give at least $.60,” Mr. Roger Gratwich, advisor to the committee, stated. He went on to say that “if everyone on campus could realize how much these peo ple need help, he was sure all-out support would be given.” Workshop Will Discuss Government on Campus Do you often wonder why you as a member of the student body do not have any say in the func tions that affect you? For^exam^le students today pay a large per centage of the funds going for ath letic support but can say nothing about it. The Board of Managers Consti tution Committee has been work ing diligently on the problems of a new constitution since the begin ning of school this year. The cul mination of this work will be in the form of a workshop run by the National Student Association Feb ruary 2, 3.
