Most of these places currently have an aver-age of $11,000 in this bracket. The low figure at Towson can be explained by the increasingly high number of instructors. When contacted on this sub-ject, Dr. Earle T. Hawkins ex-plained, that since the catalogue was issued the Board of Trust-ees has planned a salary in-crease that would bring TSC in-to the ""B"" rating bracket by 1970. According to the Presi-dent, present salary ranges are: Pro f ess or�$10,600416,000 Assoc. Prof essor-- $9,000413,000 Asst. Professor� $7,400-$10,200 Instructor�$6,30048,400 ""These ranges represent the first year of a proposed three-year development toward an im-proved salary scale."" ""The proposed scale would raise the upper limits to these amounts by 1970: Professor�$18,400 Assoc. Professor� $15,000 Asst. Professor� $11,800 1nstructor�$9,600 The President lamented that ""unfortunately there was not enough money in the Govern-or's budget to implement the second move toward the new scale as planned and anticipat-ed. It is hoped that the Govern-or's budget next year will pro-vide funds to make up for this year's deficiency and will enable the colleges to have in full ef-feet in '69-70 the new scale and range."" Faculty and Administration had withheld comment on this budget until the Supplemental budget was proposed. But to their chagrin, the only sum available to higher education was $9,000, 000 (as reported in the Sunpapers, March 14). $450,000 was to go to the Un-iversity, where Dr. Elkins im-mediately /earmarked the money for salaries, The $450,000 to be alloted to the State Colleges, would be first applied to the maintenance of the laboratory schools, and then perhaps for faculty salaries. Commenting on this, one faculty member of TSC wondered ""Why the faculty Of the University should receive a larger share of money for sal-aries than their peers at the (Continued on page 6) Photo by Wootton Jerry Whidden and David Rovine, members of ""Crown and Heart"" cast, measure up some properties for the show.

Rovine's first program, presents the Bard's view on rul-ers and love in scenes from ""Hamlet, Macbeth, Richard Ill, and Othello as well as other Shakesparian works, Cast Rovine will also act in this production; others in the hand-picked cast are Bob DeFrank, Siobhan Gannon, Linda Hur-man, Tom Kurtz, David Rovine, Dwight Schultz, Maravine Shepard, Diane Stephens, and Jerry Whiddon. There are no leading roles; however, there is evidence of harmony among the several players. Script Magnificent Barbara Richmond, president of the Players observed, ""The, script is -m.agnificient."" It is ""recommended for English ma-jors and those interested in Shakespeare"" by assista.nt dir-ector Michele Oppenheirne. IActors Tom Kurtz and Bob DeFrank agree that it is a ""pure and unadorned"" presenta-tion and a fresh treatment of Shakespeare. The Glen Players will present Oedipus at Colonus from May 8-10 in the Glen. British Debate Team Makes Towson Scene Andrew R. Parrish Tonight at 8:15 p.m. in Ste-phens Hall auditorium, Towson State College will host the Bri-tish International Debate Team comprised of Andrew R. Par-rish, 22, and Nicholas Wall, 23. The two men will take the affirmative on the topic, ""In the opinion of the House, the Red Peril is a figment of the West-ern Imagination,"" and the neg-ative side will be taken by two members of Towson College's Debate Team, Susan Miskelly and Kathleen Gregory. The pub-lic is invited, and audience par-ticipation will be encouraged by a question and answer period following the debate. Wall, a barrister, studied at Trinity College at Cambridge, where he received a B. A. in literature and law. He was pre-sident of the Cambridge Debat-ing Society and president of the Cambridge Union Society. He was also a finalist in the Obser-ver Mace competition. Parrish has a B. S. in chem. dstry and did graduate work at King's College University of Landon. He won King's College Inter-Faculty Debate and was also a finalist in the Observer Mace competition. He now 'werks in personnel management for British Aluminum, Ltd. The two debators represent-ing Towson State College are both seniors, members of the College Debate Council, and members of Pi Kappa Delta, a Miss Susan Miskelly Miss Kathleen Gregory national honorary debate frat-ernity. Mies Miskelly is a speech ma-jor and is president of the De-bate Council. Miss Gregory, an English major, is president of Pi Kappa Delta. They have both been involved in college debate activities for four years. Helen Pryor, who is vice president of the Debate Council will serve as moderator for the program. This year is the third year the British International Debate Team has visited Towson. For forty-,six years, the Speech As-sociation of America has spon-sored a three month tour of -American colleges and universi-ties for two people selected, af-ter extensive interviewing, to represent Great Britain. The main goal of this debate is to emphasize the difference in styles between the two debate teams. The British style is based upon the humor and re-partee of the Houses of Parlia-ment. The British debaters de-light in playing to the audience by using wit and sarcasm, often pursuing light-hearted and fri-valous discussion. The American way of debate, however, puts the emphasis on iformaliIty, logic, and teamwork. The Towson debaters will be more concerned with presenting an issue and proving it through a logical 1step-by-step method. Nicholas Wall "
