Regents Raise Salaries
()1* Teachers 'on Levels’
Following complaints from the University and Georgia Tech that
outstanding teachers cannot be retained at present salary ranges, the
Board of Regents Wednesday reluctantly voted to increase the maxi
mum pay scales.
The action passed “almost with
disapproval" and the board voted to
tell college presidents that a nega
tive reaction was created among
members upon request for salary in
creases.
The regents’ action merely sets
maximum salarjps which can be paid
within the various classifications. It
does not affect the minimum scale
now in effect and it does not mean
there will be wholesale raises.
Actually the average raise in salary
for 1952-53 will be ‘‘relatively
small,” according to Dr. J. A. Wil
liams, assistant to the president.

tor James Sheppard's column, page

No action was taken which defi
nitely ca» be interpreted as a blan
ket salary raise.
A Red and Black survey conducted
late yesterday and early this morn
ing revealed that many inaccurate
impressions of the regents’ action
are being made over the state. Con-
senus is that the regents’ authorized
a blanket salary raise so that faculty
members here are being paid on an
even basis with other southern uni
versities.
The regents authorized these salary
scales, which do not necessarily mean
pay raises:
Instructors, from $3,600 to $4,000;
assistant professors, from $4,500 to
$5,000; associate professors, from
$5,400 to $6,000, and professors,
from $7,200 to $7,500.
Along with the scale hikes, the
regents voted a plan which they
claimed would standardize qualifi
cations “to insure a better quality
and more uniform faculty.”
The plan sets up training and edu
cational specifications for various
levels of teaching and for promo
tions.
Included in the changes was a pol
icy plan tenure to professors and as
sociate professors, with either beir^
required to serve only two years in-

Spring Quarter
M art’ll 24' Registration
Will Involve New Steps
To Speed Up Fee Lilies
Spring quarter enrollment fig
ures are expected to drop about
dill) students below present levels,
Registrar Walter N. Danner pre
dicted today.
Graduating seniors will account
for most of the loss, Danner said.
Other students will be dropped be
cause of poor scholarship or will
quit for voluntary reasons.
Spring quarter registration has
been scheduled for Marcli 24 in Stege-
man Hall. Students will be admitted
according to the classification on
their ID cards.
Freshmen will be admitted at 8
a.m., seniors and graduate students
at A and 10 a.m., juniors at 11 a.m.
and 12 noon, and sophomores at 2
p.m. and 3' p.m.
Students not observing these hours
will have to wait in line unneces
sarily, Danner warned.
Several changes have been made
in the proceedure for paying fees to
eliminate some of the waiting in line
usually connected with this process.
The treasurer’s office will remain
open until 6 p.m. on registration
day. Students will enter Academic
Building through the west door fac
ing Herty Drive, remain in single
file past the fee windows, and leave
the buliding by the door nearest the
Chapel.
Students who have not paid fees
at closing time will be allowed to do
so through 3 p.m., March 25, but
will not be excused from classes for
this purpose.
The dean of men’s office will be
reached for dormitory assignments
by the door nearest the Arch.
Women students may report to the
dean of women’B office by way of
the center stairway leading to the
second floor in Academic Building.

Highways To Join
Northeast Route
With Macon Road
By Paul Burton
The University may he split by
six lane thoroughfare within
three years if present plans to
build ait extension between two
points near Athens materialize,
the State Highway Department
said today.
The road, which will be from 40
to 72 feet wide, will run from about
three miles out on the Macon high
way to the intersection at Broad and
Thomas streets.
Its path will cross the campug
behind Sanford Stadium, cutting off
slight portion of that structure.
Unofficial reports are that additional
seating stands will be built to re
place those removed.
Cost Half Million
A federal aid project, the road
will cost about half a million dollars,
Jim Gillis, State Highway Depart
ment director, said.
Gillis said the road is still in the
programming Btage, and complete
plans will he submitted to the federal
government within the next 30-46
days.
Construction of such a road has
long been under discussion by state
and Clarke county highway officials
and “meetB the full approval of Uni
versity officials.”
Facilitate Travel
“The administration very definite
ly wants the road, and we hope it can
he built,” said Dr. J. A. Williams,
assistant to the president. ‘‘When
completed it will open up the hack
side of the campus and greatly fa
cilitate travel from the North to
the South Campuses.
M. L. Shadhurn, state highway
engineer, suid no one can tell for
sure when construction will begin
hut it will surely not be later than
next year.
James A. Kennedy, road design
engineer. Bald it Is possible that the
department will be prepared to seek
bids by summer. He estimates a pos
sible two years will be required in
building the road.
Ward's Advisers,
Lawyers Analyze
Regents' Decision
Lawyers and advisers of Horace
Ward, Negro Law School applicant,
ure now studying the Board of Re
gents' resolution to determine pos
sible legal action, Dr. William L.
Boyd, state president of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, said this week.
Dr. Boyd said Ward's counsel is
“Interested In speeding up the Negro’s
admittance to the Law school.”
Austin T. Walden, Ward’s chief
attorney, could not be reached for
comment, hut he had earlier tenta
tively accepted the regents' ruling
that all Law school applicants must
pass an examination fixed by the
hoard.
I)r. Boyd's statement wbb con
strued to indicate that Walden lias
decided not to accept the ruling with
out further study.
The ruling, although It did not
mention Ward, implies that he Is
\ included. Dr. Boyd said.
Meanwhile, Dean J. Alton Hosch,
i Law school, says he knows nothing of
how the proposed entrance examl-
I nations would be read or affect
Ward's admission.
