Number, Amount
"We hope that we will be
able to increase the number
of the professorships rapidly
and also increase the amount
of the salary supplements,"
he explained, which he said
had not beon decided.
"The going level of our
faculty salaries simply is not
high enough to enable us to
compete successfully for the
services of professors who
are being sought by the Ivy
League, the Big Ten and the
California institutions," he
noted.
Under the program the Re
gents approved, nominations
for the Professorships can be
initiated by University facul
ty members. Chancellor
Hardin said that a committee
would probably be estab

members.
Only persons of wide aca

proachable personal integrity
are eligible for consideration
and the selection plan pro

It's possible that specific

The positions will be con
tinuing. All colleges will be
eligible and will be under
discussion, he added.
