Exxon gives PSU $300,000 to help teaching careers By CHRIS WIGHTMAN Daily Collegian Staff Writer In an effort to encourage young engineers to forego private industry jobs and pursue teaching careers, the Exxon Education Foundation will grant $300,000 to the University, said William McKeough, program officer for the Exxon Education Foundation. "The program is two-fold. We're not particularly interested in senior faculty because they're already established in their profession and they're not too vulnerable to private industry offers," he said. "We are interested in junior faculty because they are just beginning in the teaching world and as a result of such things as economic factors, they are more vunerable to industry offers. "Also, we are looking down the road for a future supply of teachers." The University will receive the funding in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences and the College of Engineering. • The support the University is receiving is only a small , portion of the total $l5 million grant which will be dividddarnong 66 U.S.,colleges and universities, McKeifiligh said. Exafon, Corp. is funding the special One-time grant as part of its centennial to be observed in 1982. The purpose of thb'program, which„will be financed over a five-year period, is to decrease the flow of young engineers in college and university teaching jobs to private industry, where the salaries tend to be greater, McKeough said. A major corporation like Exxon funds a program whose purpose is to keep young engineers from joining their company because it needs someone to train its end product, said Shar Bucklin, assistant dean of the College ,of Engineering. "The demand for engineers is greater than it has been since World War II," she said. "They (Exxon) want a product coming out of the Universitythat is a good one. They're not the only company that's doing this. Nationally, a large contingent of 21,000 students with bachelor's degrees in engineering are going directly from college to private industry, Bucklin said. Salaries paid in private industry discourage students from seeking advanced degrees and holding junior faculty positions, she said. For example, a student entering private industry with a bachelor's degree in engineering makes the same, and in most cases, a higher salary than a graduate with a doctorate who is beginning to teach, Bucklin said. Beginning in the 1982-83 academic year, the Exxon Education Foundation will award 100 three-year $50,000 Exxon Teaching Fellowships to the 66 designated institutions. The University will receive two fellowships, with one in chemical engineering and one in mining engineering. The teaching fellowship's purpose is to increase the number of students in graduate programs leading to a doctorate and teaching careers, according to an Exxon Education Foundation announcement. A stipend of $12,000 the first year, $13,500 the second year, and $15,000 the third year, as well as tuition and fees, will be given to each fellow.

Michael Pertschuk, who is still an FTC member although President Reagan replaced him with James C. Miller 111 as chairman, said the public increasingly sees the administration "as tilting precipitously toward wealth and privilege." "Reagan's regulators are courteous and wear blue ties, with emblems neatly ranked in rows;" he said. "They are otherwise distinguished only by their chronic myopia in overlooking consumer disadvantage and abuse." The swing back to consumer advocacy will not be immediate, - Pertschuk is saying in a series of lectures, but Reagan's policies may cause enough consumer outrage that the ground will be fertile for a change. "Reagan may succeed where Nader fell short in rekindling public outrage," he said, referring to consumer advocate Ralph Nader. Pertschuk has generally maintained a low profile since he was replaced as FTC chairman soon after Reagan-took office. He.has lifide'onl:y a few speeches and-lias-declihed some intervie*requests. That may be coming to an end with the series of lectures he is giving at the University of California at Berkeley. The lectures began last Wednesday, and the last one will be this Wednesday. Drafts of the 231 pages of lectures were made available by his office in Washington. "As a minority commissioner, I see no dearth of opportunities for impassioned dissent," Pertschuk said. "As we proceed into this new regulatory era," he said, "it will become increasingly difficult for business to fob off its poor economic performanCe, since the Reagan administration's trumpeted regulatory relief is unlikely to produce a traceable resurgence in business productivity or vigor." The rise of the consumer movement in the 1960 s and early 1970 s brought legislative victories made possible by unorganized business opposition and determined consumer advocates such as Nader, Pertschuk said. Public disclosures and resulting consumer outrage led to laws designed to protect consumers from unsafe automobilm, a polluted environment and other perils. "In those days we saw ourselves as on the side of the angels and we were largely so perceived by the media," he said. • Muscles flexed, bodies moaned and weights became weightless at P 1 Lambda Phi fraternity's first Lift-a-thon on Saturday Page 4 • Area barikers disagree over a bill now pending in the state.
