TERN ^TS!” *5_L hide •OTS ' $7095 RKSKIN r $ 99 98 By MICHELE ROWLAND Battalion Reporter Dr. Forrest D. Burt, director of Texas A&M University’s graduate English studies program, has been elected president of the Texas Association of College Teachers. His two-year term begins April 1. TACT expresses views of some Texas faculty members, librarians and other professionals on legisla tive and agency issues. One of Burt’s concerns is that public colleges and universities in Texas are losing qualified high- ranking teachers because salaries have fallen behind inflation, he said. Many teachers’ compensations don’t provide a decent standard of living. Teachers realize they can do better financially in other jobs. Acting TACT President Philip L. White said. Texas is falling further behind other states in attracting and hold ing faculty members of superior quality, White said. “If we continue to fall behind in the quality of faculty, then tomor row’s leaders will be deprived,” Burt said. Burt said he will back a legisla tive program, adopted by TACT and the American Association of University Professors, that sup ports increased expenditures for salaries and fringe benefits, state retirement contributions, full state payment for faculty social security, an unabridged tenure system and school governing board improvements. Faculty members should have a say in how a public college or uni versity is governed, Burt said. He said his dedication to TACT in the past, present and future is because TACT is “the only voice that faculty members have speci fically for their interest.” MENT IN!
