Pa. Resident's Tuition Set at $l6O
By JOAN MEHAN
Although a tuition hike is pending, the summer term will not feel the force of a fee
Increase. , ,
Tuition for the summer term will be equal to one third of the combined present semester
fees which was the rate announced for all terms before the proposed $23 million University
budget ran into difficulty passing the state legislature.
Fee rates have not been determined for the other terms if the legislature doesn’t
j approve the budget. If the budget
Is approved, the rates will prob
ably remain the same for all
terms, David C. Hogan Jr., direc
tor of the division of revenue ac
counting, said.
Full-time Pennsylvania stu
dents or those carrying 8 or more
credits will pay $l6O for the 10
I week period, Hogan said, and
[non-resident full-time students’
; tuition will be $320.
For students carrying less than
8 credits, the rate per credit
will remain the same as under
the two semester system $2O
per credit for Pennsylvania res
idents and $4O per credit for
non-residents, he said.
Previously summer fees were
paid after registration, but this
year a receipt of fees will be re
quired for registration, he con
tinued. Payment forms and sum
mer term fee information can be
jobtained in the Bursar's office
early next week and fees can be
paid at any time.
Residence hall rates will also be
equal to a third of the combined
present semester rates, Hogan
said. These rates were rounded off:
for easier bookkeeping, he added.
A women's single zoom will
be $274 and a double zoom will
be $260 for the term. A ipen's
single room will be $268 and a
double room will be $254.
West Halls will be used during
the summer term, Otto E. Muel
ler, director of housing, said. Men
will be housed in Hamilton, Jor
dan and Watts Halls, he said. Un
dergraduate women will be

Survey Shows Salary Overlap
There is a wide overlapping
of salaries in the University’s
various academic ranks, ac
cording to R. Wallace Brews
ter, chairman of the current
faculty salary survey.
The survey is being conducted
by the salary committee of the
local chapter of the American As
sociation of University Professors.
With 72 per cent of faculty
questionnaires now in. the sur
vey results have shown that the
University's highest paid full
professor is earning a salary
more than double that of the
lowest paid full professor.
Brewster said.
In addition, he said that the re
turns indicate that the highest

Helen Jean Rogers, news
producer for the American
Broadcasting Company, will
be the guest speaker at this
year’s Matrix Dinner to be
held at 6 p.m., March 12, in
Dining Rooms A and B of the
Hetzel Union Building.
The dinner is held annually by
Theta Sigma Phi, women’s pro
fessional journalism fraternity,
and honors outstanding students
at the University.
Miss Rogers, since joining ABC,
has covered such events as the
Cuban revolution, the Army and
Air Force war games in North
Carolina, and has toured Africa
for six weeks while producing
"The-Dark and the Light," a 1960
documentary film on Africa.
A Phi Beta Kappa and a cur

sultant after graduation from
Catholic University in 1952,
which gave her the opportunity
to lecture on America in many
foreign countries.
Beginning in 1955, she was a
political theory instructor at Har
vard where her students included
the present Aga Khan.
One of Miss Rogers’ most publi
cized achievements occurred in
1959 when, while covering the
Air Force weightlessness tests at
Wright-Fatterson Air Base, she
became the first woman to ex
perience "a kiss in space.”
The participants in this event
were in a completely weightless

of a plane after the aircraft had
pulled out of a steep dive.

Brewster said that these com
parisons are based solely upon
the salaries of the non-adminis
trative academic staff employed
on 10-month contracts.
The final results of the sur
vey. he said, will be presented
at a meeting of the local AAUP
at 7:30 p.m, next Monday in the
auditorium .of the Mineral Sci
ence Building.
The salary data is being sub
mitted to the national AAUP to
be compiled in its annual salary
rating for colleges and univer
sities, Brewster said. It seeks the
average and minimum salaries
for each college staff rank, and
uses the information to determine
increase in a study reappraising
the nation’s whole defense strate
gy, Kennedy told a news
crammed, far-reaching news con
ference.
Meantirhe, he sought as Sec
retary Of State Dean Rusk did
earlier to allay fears of the
European allies that an increase
in conventional forces might
mean less nuclear capacity or less
reliance on nuclear power to
combat a possible attack.
"We have reached no decision
which would indicate that there
has been a change in our reli
ance," the President said.
His half-hour exchange with 398
newsmen was an all-business, no
nonsense affair. Seriously, rapidly

Kennedy gave out these dis
closures and opinions:
, *For the first time since July,
the United States last week had
no net loss of gold. Although this
is temporary, Kennedy said, the
balance implies a restoration of
"confidence in the dollar through
out the world.”
•An executive order aimed at
reducing racial barriers to em
ployment, "both in and out of the
government,” will be issued with
in the next few days. Action on
civil rights in education, housing
and other areas will follow.
• Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
of West Germany has accepted a
Kennedy invitation to visit Wash
ington April 12-13 for an “ex
change of views.”
• The President rejected the
views of ci'itics who say the re
cession has touched bottom and
his antirecession measures are un
needed.
•The President announced he
is asking Congress to restore the
five-star rank of general of the
Army to former President Dwight

It is customary for university
administrations to supply the sal
ary information upon request of
the AAUP.
Since the University's admin,
isiraiion has declined io submit
this information for the past
two years, the University has
not been rated since 1958-59.
At that time, the University re
ceived a rating of “D” on a double
“A” to “F’ scale.
According to that rating, full
professors at the University were
receiving an average annua! sal
ary of $84000; associate professors,
$6OOO, assistant professors, $5lOO,

Since the University has not
been rated in two years, the local

the necessary data.
