$4,000 PROFESSORS
Continued from Page u

Operating on a low salary scale,
Bluffton has been able to secure ex-
cellent faculty members only because
of sense of dedication to an impor-
tant mission. However, they could
work more efficiently if they were
freed from the worries of balancing
their personal budgets on so meager
an income, and could afford to parti-
cipate in more of the creative and
cultural activities now denied them.
"It is estimated that the income
from the Ford gift will increase sal
aries about four per cent. Much addi-
tional help is needed through other
gifts if staff members are to receive
the compensation of which they are
deserving, he concluded.

The recent announcements by

little difference to the effective
strength Of the forces in
ISatellatia.
Taking only the regular armed

mania, the total armed forces

fective strength Of NATO.
Many westerners hold the mis-
taken belief that the satellite
armies can be written OF because
they viii desert at the first OPP
lportunity. Iron Curtain experts
here in Vienna believe that this
lis wishful thinking. since the
Soviets are hardly likely TO put
armies in a position where de-
sertion is possible.

visions has been almost doubled
