ARE ASKING WHERE
Appropriation For Increased Sal
aries Still on the Way.
Faculty KxpreJtlon One of DUuppoln t
m cut it iitl Keeret.
Not a few members of the Univer
sity faculty are much disappointed in
not receiving the expected raise in
salary which they thought would bo
coming to them when the last ses
sion of the legislature Increased the
University salary appropriation by
$50,000. The appropriation was for
the coming biennium and hence the
increase would mean a net increase
per year ot but $25,000 for the fac
ulty as a body owr the salaries for the
past year, but even this amount, soni"
of the members allege, has not been
apportioned to them The Increase
in the appropiiation was secured on
the plea that the University fatuity
has not ben receiving a wage that lb
consistent with their positions and
services and after the appropriation
has been secured it is claimed that the
money has not all been used for the
purpose for which it was appropriated,
but retained for other purposes.
One of the board of regents, when
seen by a reporter yesterday aftei
noon, would not give any statistics to
show just how much of the sum in
question had really been dealt out by
tire regents for "increases," but stated
that the money had all been provided
for for salaries and requested that any
of the complaining members report
their complaint to the regents.
A prominent member of the faculty
expressed his sentiments on the ques
tion as follows:
"There is a general feeling of dis
appointment among the faculty over
the failure of the regents to raise the
salaries to the limit promised. The
faculty had noted with pleasant anti
cipation that the legislature, on the
earnest recommendation of the Chan
cellor, had Increased the salary item.
In the University appropiiation, $30,000
for the next biennium. Hence the
heads of departments who had been
given title without a corresponding
salary expected to receive $2,000 or
$2,100. As a matter of fact an aver
age Increase of only $100 seems to
have been given and there are still
many heads of departments who are
not drawing salaries corresponding to
theirtitle. The deans received no In
crease at all. It appears that the
larger part of this $50,000 is being held
for the creation of new departments,
which seems manifestly unjust In view
of the patience of the older members
of the faculty. -"It Is surmised that the
finance committee of the board of re
gents Is responsible for this failure to
Increase the salaries to the limit prom
ised." Another man well up on the teach
ing force of the University stated that
wlH be had' no definite knowledge as
to the particular point In question he
could but say that he did not like the
"sweat shop" sort of a system that
seemed to be In vogue here.
Dr. D. L. Thomas will address the
men's mass meeting lu the Art hall

TICKETS NAMED.
Athletic Board Members Are To
Be Elected May 10.
The following are the rules in the
constitution of the athletic board gov
erning the election of student mem
bers to that board, which election will
be held this year two weeks from yes
teiday. May 10th:
Article XIV Regulations goerning
the election of student members of the
athletic board.
Sec. 1. Nominations Any university
student in good standing may become
a candidate, on petition signed by
twenty students filed with the secre
tary of the board before (May 1st,
tills yeai), together with a statement
In wilting fiom said student that he
desiies to be a candidate and expects

ing jear Petitions In duplicate aie to
be posted in the gymnasium and Uni
versity hall for five days and in lack
of protest accepted by the athletic
board. All names of candidates are to
be published at least once in the Uni
versity paper (The petitions in dup
licate are to be posted by student can
didates and they are responsible for
insertion of notices in paper.)
Sec. 2. Elections. The time of elec
tions shall be on the second Wednes
day in May of each year (this year
May 10th). from 10.30 to 12:30 a. m.
and 1.30 to 3:30 In Memorial Hall.
Sec 3 Judges There shall be three
judges appointed by the beoard, but
not more than two of them shall be
membeis of the board
Sei.'l Voters Any student, ofimer
student, alumnus, assistant or member
of the faculty shall be qualified by the
payment of twenty-five cents for gen
eral athletic Interests, money to be
paid at the time of election.
Sec Fi. Tickets. Names of the can

order. In addition to the names the
words "vote lor five", (but no other
printing.) shall appear on the Ticket.
Sec. (!. Method. The general rules
of the -Australian ballot system shall
bo followed. There shall be no-tlls-crsslon
or soliciting of votes to the
voting room.
Sec. 7. All ballots shall be void and
thrown out which do not show a vote
for exactly five of the recognized can
didates. Immediately following the election
ot last year a request was presented to
the athletic board asking that the
twenty-five cent per capita tax be -removed
and the election be thrown open
to any who, under Section 4 of Article
XIV, are qualified. The argumoM In
favor of .abolishing this voting fee
was that It would do away with the
r
piomlscuous "selling of votes" by the
girls.
The request was carefully considered
bv the board, but It was finally decided
that the eils resulting from no charge
would be greater than those existing
at present, and the tventy-fie cent
charge will be made-this year as here
tofore. It was found, upon Investigation by
the boaid. that the girls were otlng
more and more according to their own
minds, and were being influenced less
bv ardent partisans.
The two tickets in the Held at pres
ent, though all of the names have not
jet been made public, are made up of
Benedict, Hunter, Morse, Graves, Cot
ton and Black, Anderson, Venlon,

The men have not been able to prac

Dean Davis gave a few words of en

Davis, are preclbely the students who
are dlscouragedS'bocause they can see
