Salary Schedule Several years ago, the Board had drawn up a schedule of in-crements to bring salaries to a ""B"" level on the American As-sociation of University Profes-sors Scale of 1970. In the 1968 budget, however, the state re-jected the proposed increments for the second phase of the plan. The committee hopes to get sufficient salary increments back' into the state budget so that state college salaries may reach a ""B"" level by at least 1970. Open Hearing To further discuss faculty salaries, an open hearing is be-ing planned for Tuesday, May 7 at 3:30 in Stephens Auditori-um. The students showed their support by writing letters, sign-ing the petition and attending the open forum. ""Now we will he able to further demonstrate our concern at the meeting on Tuesday.

Ehrlich Cites Tactics of Constitution Foes by MICHAEL VOGELMAN On May 14, the voters of Maryland will have the chance either to accept or to reject the proposed new state constitution. This constitution, if passed, will greatly streamline and mo-dernize the government of this state. Dr. Gerd Ehrlich, Chairman of the College Committee for Acceptance of the New Consti-tution rates the new Constitu-tion as ""not ideal but superior"" to the present century old docu-ment. Ehrlich, professor of political science and constitutional law and himself a 'lawyer cites four main ""bugaboos"" used as scare tactics by opponents of the new constitution: that it will aid integration; that it will lesson popular representation; that it will take the courts away from the people; and that will cost too much to be practical. This first argument is used says Ehrlich, in lower class white areas, making use of ra-cial prejudice. Opponents hope decision, both houses are now elected according to population. The new single member district system will help put an end to legislature packing by political machines. The new document will slim May 8-8:00 p.m. Towson High. Towson Optimist Club presents a pro/con panel discussion on the New 'Constitution. May 9-2:30 p.m. Faculty Dining Room. Discussion of the New Constitution by Dr. Gerd Ehrlich. Question and answer period. to make whites think ""the nig-gers are for it, we should be against it."" But the truth is, the entire population will bene-fit equally from the new efficien-cy. According to Ehrlich, the sec-ond fear is totally unfounded. Because of the Supreme Court down scattered commissions and consolidate them under the ex-ecutive arm. The office of the Comptroller will become a more advisory position. The governor will be more responsible to the people and freer from political control. But, Ehrlich adds, the governor is given no increase in power over 'the legislature. And, to further refute this argument, county government will be to-tally removed from state legis-lature in favor of ""home rule."" The third argument�about the -courts�is quite misleading, says Ehrlich. Part-time magis-trates will be eliminated and replaced by full-time justices who will be elected for ten year terms. No longer can anyone run at will for the office of mag-istrate. A nominating commit-tee of lawyers and laymen will submit names to the governor who will choose candidates. ""We. have been lucky so far,"" says Ehrlich, ""but the new Constitu-tion will insure us of compe-tent judges in the future."" The Constitution would also provide for a statewide hierarchy of courts under the Court of Ap-peals. (Continued on page 3) "
