staff losses caused by instruc
tors moving to other institu
tions during the 1957-59 bien
nium were 140 while during
the 1959-61 period losses
dropped to 40, about five per
cent of the total major staff
positions.
"So far this year our losses
have been less than in any
previous year since I have
been here," Dr. Hardin said.
"But we can't be very smug
about this because the diffi
culty is going to come in the
ensuing years."
The slight increase in the
operating budget is caused by
a higher income from indirect
cost allowances, such as
training, research and fel
lowship grants, according to
Dr. Soshnik.
Income Increase
The estimated income from
student tuitions and fees of
(2,452,886 is the same as the
present fiscal year, and ac
cording to Dr. Soshnik, any
increased income from a
higher enrollment will be
used to finance the added
staff positions needed.
The comptroller pointed oat
that shifting in allocations
was necessary to compensate
for the $100,000 added expense
in the University's share of
the retirement program and
for a $29,000 increase in to
c i a i security obligations,
caused by a higher rate
slated for next year.
The discussion on instruc
tors leaving the University
came after a week which saw
a number of professors an
nouncing their resignations.
Resignations Accepted
The Board issued a state
ment regarding the resigna
tion of Dr. Robert L. Chas
son, professor and chairman
of the physics department.
The Board expressed regret
at losing tne chairman, but
