of accepting the 1958-59 wage
scale and boosting the salaries
of the president and vice president S50, and those of the secretary, treasurer, Student Senate recorder and court recorder

showed that the cost was not
too high.

jthe largest class at Central.
I      Sorrells cited lack of appli-   |

lack   of   potential.   Kelp   is
available through various departments,  honor  fraternities  j
and remedial courses if a student needs aid.
"We are hopeful that the desirable result which comes from
the student with low academic
standing not remaining at Central is a student body with an
overall higher academic standing and potential," said Dean
Sorrells.

The flying chips, a club for
those interested in earning their
pilot's licenses, is planning on
holding a flying meet with
Michigan State University and
probably Western Michigan

The meet is scheduled to take
place one of the last weekends
in April at the Mount Pleasant

landings.    180    degree    turn
landings   and   high   altitude
stunts will be featured ai ihe
meet.   Trophies   will   be
awarded for first places. The
members of ihe flying chips
wiih ihe most experience will
be competing in these events.
The  board  of  directors just
recently passed a new amendment to  the  club  constitution
dealing with membership fees.
Instead of new members purchasing shares  at $75 for the
entire time that they remain in
the club, they nowonly have to
pay §25 per year. The hourly
flying rates have remained the
same, §4 solo and §8 duel instruction.

and is  available for student
use in ihe library.
After  reading   one   of  these
stories   you   place   the   whole

the freshman class chose to
leave because of illness, financial problems, transfers, service,
or marriage. The biggest single
cause indicated was a change in
future plans.
These figures are lower than
last year at the same time. With
the increase in enrollment, figures also increase proportionately. .
During fall semester of 1959.
110  siudenis   droppedd   from
school for varying reasons, illness, financial problems, and
entrance into service. This is
a  high  percentage  for   any
single semester.
A high percentage of freshmen had a 3.0 or better last semester. Of the 154 dropouts, 53
were from the freshman class.
There are now 150 students on
critical probation, which is an
indication   that  they  must  do
well this semester or be dropped
from school.

Less than four hours after
the Chip Award Ballots were
counted Thursday night, Central's election committee refused to certify the results after
it found one of the winning
candidates was ineligable to
have his name in the running.
The committee also called
for a new Chip Award election
to be held Wednesday, March
16.
Chip elections were also rerun in 1957.
This    year's    mixup    came
when   Bill   Lovelace,   one   of
the invalid ballot award recipients,    iold    Student    Body
President   Lem   Tucker   thai
he does not plan io graduate
in June.
One of the Chip Award qualifications is that the candidates
must have graduated in January or else  must  graduate  in
June.
Tucker called a crash meeting of the election committee
and it soon decided that the results should not be certified.
At the polls yesterday a
meager 322 sophomores, juniors,
seniors and faculty members
turned out to elect what they
thought were this year's 8 winners as compared to 415 voters
who elected last year's 6 award
winners.
The other seven top choices
on the invalid ballot were:
Walter Beach III; Nancy Cock-
erill; Earl LaCrosse; Katherine
McGuire; Dawn Poppen; Jerome Sieracki and Lemuel
Tucker.
About the low turnout
Tucker said, "It's appaling and
really I'm not sure why it happened. In addition to posters in
the main campus buildings
stuffers were put in dorm mailboxes to remind the students
about the election. Perhaps part
of the problem may have been
a lack knowledge of what Chip
Awards are."

Do teachers get enough pay
and prestige?
George Romney, American
Motors president told the
American Association of School
Administrators Convention in
Atlantic City that they do. Two
CMU faculty members close to
the problems of public school
teachers express differing
points of view.
Mr. Paul Winger, placement director, said he felt
thai it was un_or_una_e ihai
Mr. Romney, chairman of ihe
Citizen's Advisory Committee
on School Needs, focused ai-
ieniioii only on iho Detroit
school system and not any
olher.
He went on to say that
teachers who borrow collective
bargaining tactics from people
of a non-professional character
do loose their professional status.
Mr. Winger said, "There is a
difference between professional
organizations which argue to
assist school policy making and
professional organizations which
argue collectively."
Dr.  Curtis   Nash,  associate
dean    of    education,    agreed
ihai    teachers    who    argue
about coming early and staying   late   do   lose   prestige:
however,  ho  said there  are
many teachers who put in as
many as sixty hours a week
and are never heard about.
He didn't think that teachers
who   bargain   collectively   lose
their professional status by doing so. He said that people in
other professions such as doctors  and lawyers bargain collectively,  only  in   a  different
way. They bargain collectively
alone rather than together or in
a group.
Dr. Nash also pointed out
that teachers are at a disadvantage because of the ten month
working period. Having no
choice but  to   work  for  ten
months, many are forced to accept non-professional jobs in
the summer such as, custodians,
painters, and truck drivers to
fill in the gap with employment.
It was also P9_nied out by
Dr, Nash ihat ihe man who
has boon in industry or business for 10 years will fee further ahead, ia salosy Shan the
man  who remains  in leaching for 10 years.
In a February 17, Detroit Free
Press  editorial  Concerning  the
Romney   speech,    the    editor
points out that instead of arguing for higher begirming salaries which are now comparable
with   industry,   the    emphasis
should be placed on dedicated
teachers    of    unusual    ability.
The editor also points out that
higher salaries 2or more experienced teachers must come if
teaching is to acquire the benefits and give the services of a
true profession.
