P,C Teachers To Receive Pay Raise Trustees unanimously Approve increase An upward adjustment of salary schedule for faculty members was unanimously adopted Wednesday night by the Palomar College board of trustees, and will become effective for the 1963-64 college year. The board action was based on a salary revision plan approved by both the faculty and the administration following several months of studies of junior college pay schedules throughout California. The new salary schedule involves a formula based on a number of factors i eluding the individual instructor's years at Palomar and academic degrees held. The schedule increases the general average annual pay from $7,582 to $8,084. The new schedule includes an increase for beginning salaries of new faculty members. Trustees pointed out that this would make possible a more competitive status for Palomar in comparison with other junior colleges in the area. "This action was necessary to maintain Palomar's position among similar educations! institutions," said board president Dr. Tipton Wood. "The average salary being paid at Palomar over the past three years had dropped to third from lowest in Southern California, and the board believes that the supply and demand situation for obtaining qualified teachers makes it imperative to maintain a competitive salary schedule." Officials said the increased instructional costs were made possible as a part of next year's budget because of increased state aid received by the college this year due to the rapid rate of enrollment growth. State funds to the amount of $86,000 have been ad.ded to the apportionment for Palomar College as a result of the enrollment in¡ crease ratio. Dr. John W. Dunn, president, recommended to the board that the college divert a portion of that fu d to the faculty salaries for next year.

Following the completion of council business Caldeira, along with Steve Wheeler, Rich Lotterer, and Ted Repa; gave vocal resignations from office.

Repa, also parliamentarian of the ASB council, resigned his post pending a hearing before the Disciplinary Committee.
