Batt wages raised Nash says yes; Hegi no With an abstention from Student Body President Steve Eberhard, the Student Publications Board ap proved 4-3 Tuesday, a salary in crease for The Battalion staff. Editorial wages will be budgeted at $185 per issue, up from a previous $108 per issue. “I thought there were good points on both sides,” said Eberhard, exp laining his abstention. “I thought there should be some increase. ” But Eberhard said he did not feel qual ified to name a specific (lower) fig ure and said he did not want to delay the request another week. The request was originally made two weeks ago, but was delayed be cause the board wanted more in formation on the effects of and the reasons for the raise. “I have a romantic notion that student newspapers are different from professional newspapers. There is no compelling reason to compete with commercial busines ses, whether we have the money or not,” said Eberhard. He later exp lained, “To put The Battalion on a competitive basis is to deny the educational experience accrued by the staff.” Battalion editor Greg Moses ar gued that the increases would make The Battalion more competitive with other communications jobs on campus and would help keep the talented journalists on the staff. He said many of the talented staff members were going to jobs in dis count stores and hamburger places because of financial reasons. “We are not asking for profes sional wages,” said Moses. “We are asking for enough money to keep students on a subsistence level while they are in school and working on The Battalion.” “The journalists earn it,” said fa culty member William C. Harrison of the journalism department. “They are doing a good job. ” Harri son voted for the increase. “If I were a student senator, I would think of cutting back this request severely, ” said faculty member Tom Adair of physics. “I don’t think that just be cause The Battalion has a windfall (in advertising), that the staff should get a raise. ” Adair voted against the raise. Also voting against the in crease were: Dr. Robert Albanese, management department; and Don Hegi, student. Voting in favor of the increase were John Nash, student; Jim Lindsey, director of University News Service and chairman of the Student Publications Board; and Harrison E. Hierth, head of the En glish department. In other action the board: • Agreed to set the editor’s salary at $225 for the remainder of the spring semester. Editor’s salary was set at $225 last spring, also, but Moses said he had to cut the top salaries to allow for a larger staff. “I think it is commendable that the editor takes a cut in salary but this does not seem to be an orderly procedure,” said Hierth, head of the English de partment. De for next year’s up $150 from the • Set the salary editor at $300, present salary and up $75 from the newly approved salary. “This salary will get the editor we want,” said Adair. “I want the best man for the job even if we have to go to the Pictorial Press ... or the Eagle. It’s an important job and I want to pay him what he’s worth."
