Salaries, particularly those for
women, compare favorably with
those in other fields, Mrs. Wyatt de-
clared.
Figured on a twelve month basis
for comparison with other jobs,
Delaware teachers with a bachelors
degree start at an average of S275
per month and receive annual in
crements of S160 for the next ten
years." the placement director ex-
planned. Liberal arts graduates are
starting at average salaries of S242
per month, medical technologists
at about the same figure, and home
economics students at about $3.50.
Women trained in biology, bacterio-
logy, chemistry, physics, or mathe-
mates begin at somewhat higher
salaries than teachers, but are not
assured of a regular schedule of
wage increases"
What happened to the SO teachers
prepared by the university this year
is also interesting. Twenty Eight ac-
cepted teaching positions in Del
aware. Thirteen accepted similar
jobs in other states. Two enrolled
in graduate school for further study
and seven were not available be-
cause of military service, marriage,
or other responsibilities Six ac-
cepted industrial positions and
three who are available for teach
ing have NOT VET made final yOca-
tional decisions.
"The teaching profession is not
yet as financially attractive to men
as many other occupations, al
though men certainly are in de-
mand," Mrs. Wyatt stated, But for
women, the opportunities, pay
scale, and working conditions make
teaching one of the most attractive
employment opportunities.

with Bob Hanna going to the front
of the field from pole position. On
the third round Walker went into
the command spot where he srayed
until the checkered flag dropped at
the end of the 25-laps The real
battle in the race came for the sec
ond and third money spots with

spot to the lead in the first lap but
he was quickly overtaken on the

on the field. Jim Hayes continued
in the race to finish in the runner
up slot. In the final few yards of
the race Norwood Ellingsworth
moved into third spot. Also in the
final stages of the event Norris

the fourth turn and was hit by cars
driven by Sonny Fenimore, Jerry
Jenkins and Norwood Ellingsworth.

times but climbed out uninjured.
Later in the same race Henry Short
spun sideways blocking the fourth
turn and was hit by Harold Will
liams and Les Dutton. All the driv-
ers came out Ok. In the first quali-
flying heat Sonny Fenimore rolled
