The weather was hot through

the day. The heat in Oklahoma

lieved somewhat by a constant

Considerable interest was
aroused by two incidents in the
restaurant at the Will Rogers
Airport. On one occasion, three
NAACP representatives one from
New York and the other two from
Oklahoma City, were informed by
the manager that he had orders
from New York not to serve COL
ored persons other than service
personnel. The NAACP repre-
sentatives protested and insisted
on being served. One Of them ac-
companied the restaurant mana
ger to call the city manager.
While they were telephoning the
waitress served the other two
representatives. There was an
other incident reported in which
service was denied in that reStau-
rant. The Legal Department an
nounced that steps would be
taken to prevent a repetition of
such incidents.

from it, Its only solution, he de
clared, is more new building.
Reminding Catholics of their
duty to assist in its solution, he
stated that no one has q right TO
leave capital idle at the present
time. No one, he added. has
right to spend capital for luxuries
when 1t is so urgently needed for
the necessities of others.
The present evil, he concluded,
springs in large part from the
fact that too many people are
spending frivolously money that
should be spent to provide new
housing.
Speaking to the Paris meeting
organized by Catholic Relief, Faith
er Riquet, noted preacher at Notre
Dame cathedral, said:
We must think of the great

J.C.U. Inaugurates II Months
Salary Plan For Lay Faculty
Pay Increases To Be Based Partly On Family Size
Teachers To Get S25O-S6OO Yearly Hikes

CLEVELAND, OHIO - (NC) -
A 12-month faculty salary plan,
with raises for all lay teachers
based in part on the size of their
families, will be introduced July
l at John Carroll University here.
The Very Rev. Frederick <.
Welfle, Sd. university president,
said he believed the plan lis
unique in liberal arts colleges in
the United States"
The new pay plan will, in effect,
guarantee to full-time university
teachers their basic monthly pay
checks the year around, not just
during the regular nine-month
school period
1t will also provide enlarged
basic pay brackets for the four
teaching ranks of professor, as,
sociste and assistant professor and
instructor. All of the lay faculty
will get larger monthly pay checks
Annual minimum basic pay climbs
$3.50, while the maximum is ad
vanced $500 or better a year.
This will be accomplished with
out an increase in student tuition
Such factors as size of family
and need entered into determine
ton of the amount of raise in each
case. Father Welfle said.
In line with John CAROLS

ton to students and service to the
community, other criteria also

fical years Ia total of S75,000)
awarded the university by a bene-
factor who asked to remain un-
named.
Under the new 12-month ar
rangement, John Carroll's 48 full
time lay faculty members will earn
at least a third more basic pay
than at present derived, Father
Welfle said.
For instance, a full professor
now receiving minimum of 81, 500
per school year of nine months
will, under the new plan, be paid
at an annual minimum basic salary
of $6333. Other ranks will advance
accordingly.
In exchange, Carroll teachers
will contract for Il months OF
service instead of the normal nine.
An unusual plan benefit is its

months leave of absence every
third calendar year.
In his announcement Father
Welfle pointed out that the plan
was predicated on the conviction
that a university is its faculty and
not its buildings of brick and
stone"
Earlier salary adjustments to
pull faculty earnings over pre-
inflationary levels included 1,00C
increases to basic minimum wage
rates in 1947 and a five per cent
across the boards" cost of living
boost last year. Thus over a six
year period from 1916 to 1852, an
nuai minimum basic pay for Car.
roll lay instructors has climbed ar
average of 81 per cent.
