An electronic technician makes about $704 at KU. The U.S. Postal Service at Turner hires experienced technicians for about $1,000 a month.
These facts, submitted in a KU report to Kaussa Personnel Director Lowell Long, support recommendations for pay raises and benefits per cent for certain classified employees.
Classified employees are those who hold jobs under the state classification system, or civil service, as it is commonly known. Custodians, clerkTypes, patrolmen, accountants, cooks, dormitory directors and others are classified employees.
The report was written in response to a request by Long in January that all state agencies provide pay hike recommendations to cut down on the classified employee turnover rate and to attract better personnel.
The pay raise recommendations put forth in the report would be in addition to the 5.5 per cent cost of living increase authorized by the 1974 legislature and the 5 per cent
merit and longevity increases that have also been authorized.
According to Phil Rankin, director of KU personnel services, the pay increases that were passed this year were important to all employees, but it is necessary to upgrade pay in many selected areas before or in addition to another across-board pay increase.
Jim Feldstein, director of labor relations, agreed.
"A 5 or 10 per cent across the board increase would merely compound the risk."
The 45-page report states that in some classifications the pay differential can run higher than 200 per cent when comparing to the base salary jobs in the Topaka and Kangas, CITY areas.
According to Keith Nitcher, vice-chancellor for business affairs, these
Speaking of the salary paid to University patrolmen, he said, "To some extent we are making up for our shortfalls."
"The support people are critical to the functioning of the University. We must pay them a competitive wage," Nitcher said. "If we do not have that should get legislative support."

In order for the proposals to become law, Long must sift through the recommendations and prepare a final report to the State Finance Council, which may make its own modifications before passing them along to the Kansas Legislature.
Nitcher also said the situation at the University of Kansas Medical Center may be more serious than the one at Lawrence. The university is the only medical center Mediation and Conciliation Service predicts a 10 per cent or more wage increase in the Kansas City area. The mediators also indicate, according to the report, that wages would rise by about $10 million of the removal of Federal Wage Controls.
Even if all the KU recommendations are adopted, the type of person applying for jobs and staying within the civil service system will change dramatically, according to Feldstein.
