Rhodes, professor of civil engineering, told an over flow meeting of the local chapter of the American Association of University Professors Wednesday night, that the College's tenure policy was "tough" on paper but "generous" in actuality. Speaking at a panel discussion on "AAUP at Penn State: Past, Present, Future," Rhodes, chair man of the tenure committee, said the policy states that any profes sor may be dropped from the fac ulty on 60 day notice. The administration rarely makes use of this clause, Rhodes said, and is also' generous in letting faculty members break their con tracts. Founded in 1915 Dr. M. Nelson McGeary, profes sor of political science and presi dent of the local group, said in his introduction of the panel that the AAUP was founded in 1915 to attack professors' problems with a high degree of unity and that the organization is well on its way toward that goal. Dr. Bruce V. Moore, professor of psychology and chairman of the faculty salaries committee, re viewed the accomplishments of the AAUP in getting better sal aries for the College .faculty. Moore read a letter froin C. S. Wyand, administrative assistant to the President, which said that President Eisenhower r e alized that salaries as a whole lag be hind the cost of living. The letter also said that adjustments in sal ary would be made "when human ly possible to do so." 3rd .
