Raises recognized by Faculty Senate By AMY SMITH Daily Collegian Staff Writer The University Faculty Senate approved Tuesday a statement which *recognized the need for pay raises for part-time employees and asked for recognition of those whose service merits entry into the University system of fringe benefits. • Although the proposal recom mended by the subcommittee on part time faculty outlined recom mendations for pay raise bases and benefit policies, the senate decided to let the administration work out specific details "The senate's idea to have the administration work out the specifics Was not intended to water down the issue," EdWard H. Klevans, com mittee chairman, said. "The ad- Ministration prefers to work out their opn specifics." 'The committee made two different recommendations for pay raises and 30 benefits for part-time employees. The pay raise specifics were broad "to cover most of the part-time faculty," Klevans said, but the benefit recommendation "would have affected only a small fraction of the part-time people." "We limited the number of people Itligiblc in order to deal with the Italian or Retro? A little of both the, 100% cotton shirt by Cheveto features a cutaway collar and single needle tailoring.

Klevans' benefit recommendation would only have applied to less than 10 percent of the part-time staff. -The benefits, under Klevans' recommendation, would be the same as those offered to full-time staff, but the part-time employees would have to pay additional costs. "This recommendation will definitely not have an impact on the full-time staff," Klevans said. The primary use of part-time faculty is to teach service courses for non-majors and associate degree program studies. Some part-time faculty do teach 400-and 500-level courses at the University. Part-time employees are not ex pected to do academic advising, research or other scholarly activities, or divisional or University committee work. The committee said it believed the time had come, however, for the part time faculty not to be viewed merely as "a temporary group to be used until replaced by regular full-time teachers." . The committee's 17-month study showed a substantial increase in the use of part-time faculty at the University since 1974.

He added the delay also results from the uncertainty of the state's appropriations for the coming year. "We (the college and the University) were shocked by Gov. Thornburgh's recommendation of , only a 5 percent increase for next year," Decker said.
