Too many members of the faculty at the University of
Kansas cannot make sdequate provision for these things
because of our salary scale, which is low in comparison
with that of other universities of our standing. The
Committee urges, therefore, that every effort be made by
the administration to obtain sufficient appropriations
to increase the entire salary level at the University.
In addition, it is urged that future expansions of
University services be made only when they can be
financed by additional funds, and not from funds which
are needed to carry on the current services of the
University et a salary scale which should be more

in line with that of other institutionse

The schools and departments of the University, in their
turn, are asked to remember that all the following things
play a definite part in keeping down our salary scale:

le Offering too many coursese

2e Adding new courses without dropping old onese
This is a major method of expansione

3- Too many small classes.

4¢ Too light a schedule for some staff members.

Se Additions to the teaching staff.

6« Additional assistance or clerical help.
Each request for these is, in effect, a
request to keep down the salary scale of
the entire staff.

That careful study be given to more adequate housing of
departments, particularly of those which offer no
laboratory worke Good teaching demands modern teach-
ing equipment, properly installed, and available for
regular use without the necessity of daily transportatione
