and will include seven medi- tations on the seven words from day night All directors were present except Glenn D. Devine, who is recovering from an appendectomy: Main effect of the program will be to boost the salary of more than 100 certified personnel in the Iowa City Independent School district by $225 In 1946-47. Flexibility is a feature of the schedule that "special recognition Is given to those who have special assignments and to those who have had experience in other schools." "Special teachers may apply ior additional compensation where cost of transportation or tha difficulty of the teaching load seems to demand it." Also provided for is equalization of salaries among teachers of comparative experience and degrees, whether in grade or higher schoolsi Because of the difficulty of maintaining a reasonable minimum number of men teachers in Junior and high schools, the schedule permits men to enter the system at salaries up to $800 higher than those of women and to progress to a salary ceiling which Is $500 greater. This is a continuation of an es tablished policy of the school board, which does not contend that men on. the average are better teachers, but believes that a cer tain number of men should be kept on school faculties.

Superintendent Opstad commented that presently "the mar ket for men is higher." He ex plained that "to get men of abil ity comparable to that of women, it is necessary to pay more."

Every university telephone will have a new number be- dnnine A new dial service goes into opera tion about midnignt Saturday, says H. L. Young, local manager of Northwestern Bell Telephone Co.

Instead of dialing 2111 for the university operator, you'll ring 8-0511. The number for University hospitals, however, will remain the same: Sill. New extension numbers, together with Instructions for placing calls tn and from university phones, will be listed in 10,500 copies of a spe cial issue of the telephone directory which Is being distributed by mail and messenger today and tomorrow-to all Iowa Citjr subscribers. New unlversitv numbers" will be contained in the university section of the new directory, just Denina the "yellow pages." Young cautions that the new directory SHOULD NOT BE USED until after midnight Saturday. You can avoid wrong numbers and delays, the manager advises, by consulting the directory before making a call.

He requests sub-upribern to discard all old direc tories after Saturday to eliminate confusion. Recent changes and additions In university telephone equipment have caused expenditure of more than $160,000, Young pointed out Heavy enrollment of students and building expansion are responsible for the change, he explained. The new dial equipment at first will serve approximately 1,700 telephones or about 80 more than the old switchboard. Capacity of the new equipment, however, is 3,500 lines or enough to serve a community of about 6,000 people. Young estimates that the new equipment will be adequate for the university through eight to 10 years of expansion, with continued use of the "main number" system.

Despite the special issue of a new directory this week, the regu lar annual issue of a directory to all local subscribers will occur In November of this year. NEW STATION MANAGER HERE B. D. McWUliams, Omaha, Succeeds Shrader at Airport B. D.
