Survey Finds Faculty Salaries
On Some Scale As Lock Haven
The University faculty's salary scale is equal to that of Lock Haven State College a
year ago, according to a recent survey conducted at the University.
This comparison was made from data of the 1960 National Association of University
Professors salary scale ratings for American colleges and the current data compiled by the
Metropolitan Star
To Appear Friday
Victoria de los Angeles, prima donna of the Metropolitan,
La Scala, Milan and Vienna State Operas, will appear at 8:30
p.m. Friday in Schwab.
The performance is sponsored by, the University Artist
Series. Ticket distribution will
continue today at the Hetzel
Union -desk.
Miss De los Angeles was born
in Barcelona, Spain, where she
attended a conservatory„ com
pleting her 6-year music course
in three years.
According to one source, her
talent at the conservatory was so
potent that an edict came from the
professors forbidding her to sing
during class hours because stu
dents listened to her rather than
to their teachers,
At 20, she made her professional
debut in Barcelona.
After receiving acclaim in Eu
rope. she came to this country,
where critics and the public
endorsed her European success.
She was engaged by the Met
ropolitan and made her debut as
Marguerite in "Faust" in 1951.
Since then, Miss de los Angeles
has appeared in "Madame Butter
fly," "Die Meistersinger" and "The
Marriage of Figaro." She recently
portrayed Desdemonda in "Otello"
and this season is singing the title
role in the Met's new production
of "Martha."
Last year Miss de los Angeles
was honored by her native city
with the rarely awarded Gold
Medal and a street in the capital
was named for her.
The soprano returned to the
U.S. in January after an 8-month
tour of Europe in which she sang
at the major festivals and opera
houses.
The high regard which critics
hold for Miss de los Angeles was
summed up by a N.Y. Times re
viewer when she returned to Car
negie Hall after two season's ab
sence: "This was the most beau
tiful song recital since the last
time the Snanish soprano sang in
Carnc , ie Hall."
Correction
The Collegian yesterday erron
eously reported that Monday was
the last day for fraternity pledges
to be registered with' IFC. It
should have read Monday was
the last day to register those who
were pledged on the first official
pledging date.
Pledge registration will con
tinue for the remainder of the
semester, but •each pledge must
be registered within two weeks
of the date he is pledged.

local chapter of the AAUP.
According to AAUP statistics
for 1959-1960, Lock Haven State
College received a rating of "D"
on a double "A" to "F" scale.
Penn State's statistics were not
submitted for rating to the AAUP
that year.
The University administra
tion has declined to submit the
information in the past two
years. In its last rating, 1958-
1959, the University received
the same "D" rating received by
Lock Haven a year later.
In view of the data gathered by
rthe local AAUP Committee on
I Salaries and Tenure, R. Wallace
!Brewster, committee chairman,
Isaid he was pessimistic as to the
lUniversity's chance of securing
la rating high& than the "D" lev
el this year.
Brewster explained that the as
signment of evaluation grades for
college salary scales is solely the
function of the national office of
"the AAUP. He also said that the
committee has submitted its in-
formation for a rating this year.
Ratings received by other
Pennsylvania colleges and uni
versities were Haverford, "B";
Swaihmore, "B"; University of
Pennsylvania, "B"; and Bryn
Mawr, "B."
According to the current 'sur
vey statistics, the average annual
salary i 3 $4962 for instructors at
the University, $5981 for assistant
professors, $7098 for associate pro
fessors and $8759 for full profes
sors.
These_ figures show that the av
erage salary of a full professor at
the University is only 1.77 times
that of the average instructor,
while only "F" level schools in the
country go below this figure. AU
others range from 1.85 to 2.65.
In the "B" schools, the salary
of the average professor is 2.41
times that of the average in
structor.
The survey also revealed a
great overlap in salary range and
rank of faculty members. For
example, the highest paid full
professor at the University, re
ceiving $14,040 .per year, has an
income 100 per cent more than
the lowest paid full professor who
received $6,264 per year. ,
