Friday, March 11,1971 SIU board sets wage policies SIU-E News Service The Southern Illinois University Board of Trustees Thursday adopted a policy on academic-administrative salaries, particularly affecting those persons who are reassigned from administrative to faculty positions. The policy states that the monthly salary rate of a staff member with a tenure rank who has been assigned an administrative title will be based on the individual's experience and on the assigned administrative responsibilities and level of duties. A staff member holding a tenure rank and seiving in an administrative position on a fiscal year basis is subject to reassignment to an academic year appointment for teaching, research, or service duties. The reassignment can be made in the fiscal year following the period covered by the current notice of appoinfment or during the current fiscal year if the reassignment is for cause. The monthly salary for a person who has been reassigned will be recommended by the appropriate administrative officers after consultation with the individual to be reassigned.

In determining the amount of the monthly policy stipulates that the follow- in-' guidelines will be considered: --The nature of the reassignment position. --The individual's experience, academic qualifications, service to the university, and similar factors. --The salary range within the university for the academic rank within the school or college to which reassignment is made. The policy was proposed-by the SIU System Council, which was directed by the SIU Board at its November, 1976 meeting "to submit a proposal for a revised shadow salary policy which recognizes the principle of establishing the academic salary a change from administrative assignment on the basis of academic qualifications and under the principle that no prior restraints appl to the terms of salary, academic responsibilities, or other conditions of employment in the academic position." Salary Increase Decision by June Salary increase decisions affecting employes of Southern Illinois University will be considered no later than the June meeting of the Board of Trustees, under a resolution approved by the board. Guidelines considered by the Board in February, 1976, included a provision that the board would approve at its February or March meeting salary increase guidelines for the fiscal year beginning July 1.

SIU System officers indicated that sufficient information generally is not available in February and March concerning legislative appropriations, for salary plans to be considered. System officers said in most years the best timing schedule would be for the board to defer involvement in salary plans until legislative appropriation projections are more clearly established. The earlier guideline was based on the fact that in past years, appropriations for the next fiscal year were set by the legislature by February or March, making it feasible for the universities to consider development of salary increase plans at that time. Fee Payment Deadline Extended A policy approved by the board of trustees will grant additional time for students at the Edwardsville campus to pay fees. The new policy will permit payment of student fees through the second week of classes in a quarter.

Included in the policy is a regulatory fee to be assessed students who wait until the second week of classes to pay fees. Previously, the university required the payment of student fees in advance. SIU-E registration occurs during the tenth week of the quarter, which lett only two weeks for payment of fees for the succeeding quarter. Tonight at 8 in cafeteria Trumpeters Nina Yount and Jim Aljets, and the rest of the section, use mutes during rehearsal in EHS cafeteria. (I Photo) Repair may be possible: Weshinskey Idle Nike site well a source of water? By Ann Ferguson Of the Intelligencer An abandoned well at -the NIKE Missile base, owned by Madison County, may prove to be a valuable source of water for the nearby village of Marine, if plans to put the well back in service prove feasible.

The well has sat idle since the federal government shut the missile base down about 13 years ago. Since that time, vandals have stripped the well of most of its pumps and equipment. But according to Marine Village board member Jules Wes- hinskey, the well may possibly be repaired and used as a water source for areas in and around Marine. Marine is interested in obtaining use of the well, which may be given away or sold if a majority of the county board members approve. A move toward that end was made Monday when Weshin- skey, village attorney Gerald McGivern and village engineer Robert Vogler met with the i marine buildings committee of the county board.

The committee suggested that the village submit a formal request to allow the village engineer to pump and test the well to determine if it can be used Weshinskey reported. If permission for the test is granted--and if results of the test make further investigation worthwhile there will be "more conversations" between the committee and village officials, according to Weshin- skey. Neither the cost of restoring the well nor the methods that may be used by the village to pay for such a efforts have been fully explored, Weshinsky said. He said that, even though the cost may equal the cost of drilling a new well, the Nike well site is a particularly attractive one because of the difficulty of finding new water sources in the area. Weshinskey said the possibility of finding a new well site in the area is remote, because recent geological studies of the area show that existing water supplies are scattered.

He said he told the buildings SIU-E student's production Original musical to be staged Laetrile topic of meeting The legalization of the drug laetrile will be the subject of the monthly meeting of the Legislative Research Association, at 10:30 a.m. Saturday in the Heritage House Restaurant at Springfield. Dr. Alex Peros will speak on legalization of the drug, and "freedom of choice in its use." The public is invited. "The Hootzies of Lappyland," an original musical play by Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville graduate student Barbara A.

Marentette, will be presented March 30 through April 2 in the Communications Building Theater at SIU-E. "The Hootzies of Lappyland" --which Miss Marentette considers more of a "family play," than a children's play--is about Doug and a friend, Chrissy, who journey to the fantasy world of Lappyland. Said Miss Marentetle, who also directs the play, "The choices that Doug has to make in order to believe in himself and his magic are choices each of us has to make at one time or another. Believing in yourself and in someone else, and understanding the value of love and friendship, are experiences that are especially important to the family.

"This message is made more exciting when Doug and Chrissy enter Lappyland.

They find themselves there because Doug has to tell his class a story about being a hero. Not believing in himself is reason enough to dread this experience, but Doug has the added burden of having two classmates, Hank and Hanna, who pick on him whenever they can. "Magically, the playground jungle gym turns into a rocket ship and Doug and Chrissy enter the once laughing and happy world of Lappyland. There, they meet the Helpful Hootzies and their leader, the Professor, who explains that Lappyland also has a Hank and Hanna, but in Lappyland, they're called the Hateful Hootzies. "In order to be a real hero, Doug reluctantly agrees to lead the Hootzies through the deep waters and the Fiddle-Faddle Forest to where the Queen of the Hootzies, Ms.

Magilady, is being held prisoner by the Hateful Hootzies, who have stolen her magic bell." Original music for "Hoot- zies" is by Stephen Brown, professor of music at SIU-E.

Attorney Burgess nominaled By Charles Bosworth Lindsay-Schaub News Service James E. Burgess a black former state's attorney from Champaign, was nominated U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Illinois Thursday by U.S. Sen. Adlai Stevenson III, D-Illinois.

The recommendation must now be cleared by U.S. Atty. Gen. Griffin Bell, approved by President Jimmy Carter and' confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

Burgess, 61, a retired U.S. Army major, would become the first black U.S. attorney in Illinois. He would succeed Republican Henry A. Schwarz, who died of a heart attack in February.

Schwarz had planned to resign to allow appointment of a Democrat. Burgess said, "I am very pleased that Sen. Stevenson has recommended by appointment." But he said he does not be-. lieve it would be proper for him to comment further until action on the appointment is taken. Burgess graduated from the University of Illinois law school in 1965, after retiring from the army where he had been in the military police, the artillery division and counter intelligence.

He entered the army as a private inj.941. After serving as an assistant state's attorney in Cook and Champaign counties, Burgess was elected Champaign County state's attorney in 1972. He was defeated last November hi his bid for a second term. He is married and has two children. The U.S.

attorney for the eastern district operates out of the courthouse in East St. Louis, and Burgess probably would move to Metro-East if appointed. There also are U.S. attorney offices in Danville and Benton. Stevenson also nominated Illinois State Police Deputy Superintendent Col.

Albert S. Hinds of Springfield as U.S. marshal for the Eastern District. Hinds, 54, has been with the state police since 1949 and will retire March 31. committee that Marine, like a large number of other communities in Illinois, will experience water shortages hi future years if low rainfall seasons continue.

He said that anytime there is subnormal rainfall, the area's water table drops, as is the case this year. Weshinskey said that if the well proves unsuitable or if it is not made available to the village by the county, then "we would have no other alternative but to try to explore for a well." The well would supplement the two existing wells that serve the village. The NIKE well is located about three miles from the village's water treatment plant. Distribution lines would have to be installed to take the water to the treatment plant, and new booster pumps would have to also be installed. Late last year, the village was forced to atop selling water to out-of-town residents, sending those buyers instead to Highland or other nearby towns where the water supply is not as McGivern said Marine has been the only municipality to approach the county board about ihe well.

He said future statements in the village's behalf by the state's Environmental Protection Agency may lead the county board to a more favorable consideration of the village's request. McGivern said he does not know when the proposal might be put before county board members for a vote. City, Shaw review center Representatives of the Edwardsville Human Relations Commission and Mayor Clyde Hartung met last week with Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville President Kenneth Shaw to review the status of a long-discussed proposal for the city to use a parcel of university land as a "community eenetr" site. According to those involved, last week's meeting came to no conclusion on the proposal. Hartung said the hour-long meeting was useful and that Shaw raised a number of questions that the university and the city must answer before any more definite plans for the multi-purpose community center can be pursued.

Hartung said he could not be more specific about the substance of the meeting. Attending the meeting on behalf of the Human Relations Commission were Mrs. Betty Maloney and Mrs. Helen King. Hartung 'had written to the university's administration in October, 1976, reminding then- acting SIU-E president Ralph Ruff ner of discussions that had been carried on between the city and the university "for the past few years" concerning the possibility of SIU-E donating land on the north or east edge of the campus for a center site.

The proposed site had been changed during the deliberations, he noted. The matter was said to be under advisement by the uni- verslty administration when Shaw took office early this year. Hartung's October letter concluded by noting past cooperation between the city and the university and added: "This gift of land would be an invaluable way to strengthen this band."

Fund allocations shifted in meeting By Christopher Sullivan Of the Intelligencer A meeting last week to draw out citizen views on Edwardsville Township's planned use of $142,765 in federal Revenue Sharing funds during the upcoming fiscal year resulted in some shifts in the township board's intended allocations. The Edwardsville Youth Bureau, Miners Park in Glen Carbon and the Edwardsville girls Softball and pee wee football programs are among the beneficiaries of the revised budget proposal. Township Supervisor Hays Mallory convened the public hearing, a requirement of the Revenue Sharing Law as amended last year, and explained that the township's Revenue Sharing allocations would be based on estimated receipts of $142,875.

The estimated balance on hand on March 31 from last year's budget, he said, is expected to amount to $211, and the unexpended balance at that time will be $1,089, it was estimated. Estimated interest receivable will amount to $1,500. "Items to be appropriated" should add $68,000, it was said. And funds to be received from the U.S. Treasury for two Revenue Sharing entitlement periods will total $72,075, It wai estimated.

A proposed expenditures lilt was read and then revised. The "reapproprlatod items" mentioned above were named here: $20,000 to be set aside for land acquisition for the Edwardsville Township Community Park and $40,000 for development of the park, plus $8,000 for lighting of a girls' Softball diamond at Vadalabene Field. The direct appropriations were to be spent as foliaws: an additional $14,000 for township park land acquisition and $44,000 for park development; $3,000 for the Edwardsville Senior Citizens Service Center; $1,200 for thr Meals on Wheels program; for Edwardsville Pee Wee Football, for equipment purchase; $2,400 for the Edvardsville Youth Bureau; $3,390 for Vadalabene Field work and $2,500 to build a shelter Miners Park in Glen Carbon. The expenditures would have left an estimated balance on hand next March 31 of $210. The Youth Bureau allocation proposal wjs raised from $2,400 to following testimony by Terry Smith of the bureau.

The township allocation would pay half of the bureau's rent for its- new youth center, it was noted. The Miners Park outlay proposal was doubled to $5.000. Township Auditor Steve Lopez explained that two grants received by the village of Glen Carbon fell $5,000 short of the low bid fo- construction of a shelter In the park. These two increases necessitated cutting $3,100 from other allocations on the origins! budget propose). $3,000 was recovered by reducing the planned allocation for township park development from $44,000 to 000.

And the township beard take the final needed $100 from the estimated budget balance for the end of the fiscal year, reducing it to $110. The revised Revenue Sharing Budget will be incorporated later" this month into the township's total budget for the fiscal year beginning April 1..
