Showing that university incomes

SLIDING PERCENT SCALE
PLANNED FOR PAYMENTS
Dr. Duncan, Murtorff Appointed
Chairmen of Distributing,
Receiving Groups
Subscription cards were given out
to all members of the College facul
ties and staffs at meetings Tuesday,
Wednesday, and yesterday as the first
move of the appeal to obtain $25,000
:for unemployment relief.
A sliding scale of amounts to be
given was suggested on the cards
The scale begins with four-tenths of
a percent of College salaries of $l,-
000 or less rising to three percent for
annual compensations of $7,000
Above that figure the percentage
rises proportionally
Arrange Pa)menLs
"This schedule is for guidance only
and is not to be in any way construed
as an assessment, but merely as as
sistance in measuring individual re
sponsibility and response," Dean Ed
ward Steidle, head of the committee,
said.
Four different ways are suggested
on the card for paying whato er
amount is subscribed The payment
may either be made at one time or
extended in equal amounts over four
months and the amount can be taken
out of the salary checks from the
!Treasurer's office if the subscriber
wishes.
To Study Distress
A committee handed by William G
Murtorff, College treasurer, was ap
pointed from the general group to
take charge of all money as it is re
ceived and held for distribution Dr
David C. Duncan, professor of physic,
is chairman of the 'disbursing' corn
nuttee.
The appeal, 4, hose objective is 525,-
000, will continue until Saturday, De
cembei 19. The fund is known offi
cially as the "Pennsylvania State Col
lege 1932 Unemployment Relief
Fund"
Faculty members weie given cards
and may subscribe whatever amounts
they wish, Dean Steidle said
All reports which had been received
Wednesday indicated that up to that
time every department which had met

Because they prolong the football
season and because there will always
be worthy C11111,2S for charity after the
depression, the professors would dis
courage the custom as setting a bad
precedent.
Di Rohm t Dl. Hutchins, president
of the University of Chicago, stated
that faculties arc a first charge on
university funds Citing what his in
stitution has done, he said that last
year $lOO,OOO was cut off from build
ings and grounds alone. Of increased
staffs and new courses, he maintained
that a university should not aim to
:covei every field all of the time
Rather than a multitude of courses,
!the criterion of a good univeisity as
having salaries of which it need not
be afraid, he said.
Trustees and presidents alone can
not better conditions but faculties
must cooperate in their universities
with a view of effecting economies
and heightening efficiency, the Chi
cago head said In that connection,
the movement for faculty representa
tion on boards of trustees was report
ed us gaining some impetus by the
association.
