Bleak Outlook for Some Of the
Members Of University Faculty
As Retirement Time Draws Near

Some of the members of the
University faculty in the 65-70
age bracket are deeply troubled
by the prospect of retirement.
And well they may be when
they look upon the table of fig
ures showing what their pen
sions are going to be. (''Retire-
ment allowance" is the official
term, but it's long and rather
clumsy, so why not use the word
pension p
For others, small number
who have served 80 years or
more in the faculty and have
drawn full professors pay
large part of the time, the pros
pect is not so cherries. These
will receive fairly good pensions,
since the chief factors in deter
mining the amount of pension
are % length of service and
~ salary level in the service
period.
These are the chief factors,
but there are others that would
not be thought of by persons
unfamiliar with pension system
computations. For example,
there is the question of the age
at which a person begins his
service as a member Of the fac
ulty. If this is, say. when he h
SO years old, that means that
the State contributes to his PEN
sion for only two years. After
ne Is % the contributions TO his
pension fund come from himself
alone, and even If he stays on
active duty many years longer
ne will receive only a very small
pension when he retires.
A table obtained from the Of
fee Of the StatA Retirement
System, giving data about 26
members Of the University fac
ulty retiring between 1916 and
1865, shows range in annual
pensions from 1858 for a pro-
fessor who win have served 10
years before retirement to So
3l5 for a person who will have
served SO years.
But these amounts do not re-

Church Steeple.
Tilting. Soon to
Be Strengthened

1t is expected that work will
begin soon on the Presbyterian
church steeple, which has devel-
oped list to eastward because
of rotting timbers at its base.
C. w. Shields, chairman of the
Presbyterian board of deacons,
said yesterday that contractor
was being engaged for the job.
Although the steeple has got
to be repaired" Mr.. Shields said,
1T is not in danger of falling.
Defective timbers will be re-
placed, and the steel cable braces
inside the steeple will have to
be frightened. We also plan to
put on new shingles.
The new shingles will be of
copper or some other wood
pecker-proof material.
One reason the timbers rot
ted, MIR. Shields said, is that that
the rain came in through the
woodpecker holes in the old
wooden shingles. Wasps also en-
tered through the holes, and the
interior of the steeple is plas-
tered with mud-daubers' nests"
The wooden urns that used to
decorate the church roof were
riddled by woodpeckers (of the
red-headed variety some years
ago.
The fact that almost nobody
has noticed the steeple's list,
extremely obvieeass otbtvfieetas ffeeff fffreeff the the
street in front of the church,
shows how seldom people look
up. One of the few who have
noticed it is Watts Carr, the
Durham architect. In telling a
friend about it this week, he
said:
Whenever | pass the Pres
byterian church | look it over
because it's beautiful. | could
scarcely believe my eyes the
other day when | was looking
at the church and saw that the
steeple leaned to the right. l
stopped another passerby and
asked him to look at it. He said
it was leaning, all right"
