of faculties go on swiftly ANN ARBOR Tight money and an oversupply of Ph.D.'s may speed the trend of college and university faculty to unionize at "a revolutionary pace," a University of Michigan educator predicts. "Nonacademic ployes are! bargaining, striking, and winning an ever increasing slice of the pie. Nonorganized faculty are realizing that their bite is whatever's left over." says' Prof. Robert T. Blackburn of the Center for the Study of High Education.

"The academic calendar, class schedules, numbers of students per class, office equipment all will become collective bargaining conditions to be formalized into highly specified contractual arrangements. "As faculty gain more voice in academic affairs, students will Jose voice," he added. "The Inroads they've made in recent years will be slowed, at least for a while." Dollar shortage, personnel abudnance, and the resulting union movement are three of the impinging social force's which have engulfed high I 1 A vf ISi NCNW CHECK Mrs. Elaine R.

It has developed chapters in 'the East, West, South, and Central regions of the United States. It's purpose: to cultivate and encourage high scholastic standards, promote by organization high individual conduct, add to the harmony, discipline and the general welfare of finer womanhood.

They must make major adjustments to endure and to flourish," Blackburn said. His conclusions come from an assessment) of 230 publications on the current status of "The Professor in 'a Changing Society." His research was commissioned by the American Assn. for Higher Education as a service 'o its 4,000 members, most of whom are college and university deans and administrators. "War. inflation, and the rising priorities of the poor and the cities among others, are causing financial support for higher education to descend rapidly, and there is no indication of a reversal within the next five years," the author said.

"Ph.D.'s have increased during the past 20 yCars by nearly 50 per cent. It is ironic that institutions cannot afford to hire just as qualified personnel become plentiful. "It is even likely that when vacancies occur, they may be filled by the potential, rather than the proven scholar; that is, to one who holds a master's degree and Dorothy Height, president of the National Council of Negro Women. Looking on is Mrs. Joanna Maitland, director of consumer Prairie View to train teachers aids PRAIRIE VIEW, Tex.

Prairie View has been asked by tne Department of Health, Education and elfare, Washington, D.C., to take on the task of training teacher aides to help relieve the teacher shortage in Texas. In announcing the HEW grant and project, President A.I. Thomas stated that, "we are especially proud to accept this responsibility. The reputation of Prairie View for training excellent teachers is internationally recognized. We are particularly pleased with this project since it will involve disadvantaged, ployed black, whites and chiconos from rural areas." "These are the 'forgotten, people'." President Thomas added.

Many of these people are natural born teachers, however, they lack formal de grees and education. Training this group as teacher aides will not only help the individual trainee, but also help the community in which he resides." "It is expected that approximately 40 teacher aides will be trained in this project." Prairie View has been given national acclaim over the past five years for its programs in Manpower, Development and Training. The college works chiefly in the 12 county area immediately adjacent to its campus, including Houston County. During this period, over 500 unemployed, underprivileged and disadvantaged blacks, whites and Mexican Americans have been trained for skilled jobs. The college has a retention rate in excess of 88 per cent of all trainees during training.

The job retention rate of trainees after completion of training is one of the nation's highest. According to Dr. Thomas, the majority of the trainees, and commands a lower salary." Another consequence he expects is a sharp drop in the rate of faculty mobility and turnover. More beginning instructors will be hired on a trial basis, and the time lapse to full professorship will be lengthened. Teaching fellows, unable to find jobs upon graduation will be absorbed by their own departments.

Thus thefre will be fewer positions for the next class of graduate students, and teaching fellow unions will spread. "The increased competition, job uncertainty, work overload and evolving 'adversary' relationships between faculty and administrators will place new tensions on academic personnel. "Potentially however, the positive features of this turmoil far outnumber and outweigh the negative," Blackburn said. "The oversupply of Ph.D.'s is going to raise the faculty talent level.
