Some professors say they feel that exception is discriminatory. Dr. Donald S. Moore, a retired agriculture economics professor, said retirement age should depend on the physical and mental health of the teacher. He also said that he feels teachers have been discriminated against by the new policy. “I think teachers should have the same alternatives as everyone else, he said. Dr. J.A. Dabbs, a professor of modern languages who is near re tirement age, said retirement age should depend on the individual teacher. Dr. Carl Landiss, 65, head of the Health and Physical Education De partment, said he agrees with 65 as the age to retire, but that it should depend on the individual. He said that positions held by re tirement aged people should be opened up for younger people. “I don’t feel bad about not staying on fulltime,” Landiss said. He added that he thought part- time positions were good because it created a transitional period from fulltime work to fulltime retirement. Landiss said he thought non- tenured professors were allowed to work longer because they do not have to motivate students or show as much enthusiasm as teachers. Tenure of faculty members is de termined by such things as area of specialization, level of teaching and researching skills, and compatability with students and other faculty. Tenured employees will have to retire at age 65 until July 1, 1982. They will be allowed to work part- time or fulltime until they become 70 if approved by the administration.
