For Those Who Want More

The Cadre is understaffed. The few students who are working on it do not have the time to do the research required to put out something meaningful. They go to clas— ses and they do study for tests. However, I am not writing this article to weep or cry.' -

Salaries on Par

Dear Sir:

In the issue-of the Cadre of March 16, Mr. Laffin cla— ims that "Faculty and admin— istration make six to seven times more money than the average civil servant on the Island". Where jobs in the administration are similar to those in the civil servi- ce, we use the Public Servi- ce Commission to establish

categories, and we are there—,

fore paying exactly the same! as the civil service for sim— ilar jobs.

It is hard to equate fac— ulty salaries with most jobs in the civil service; but if

Instead of quibblings, bad jokes, and true confessions, students should put their minds on pertinent questions. Such as the purpose of the university and how it can serve the Island community.

If it is true that these rates are six to seven times high— er than that recieved by the average civil servant, and 5I doubt very much that they are, the comparision is just as irrelevant as comparing that of the specialist cate- gories of the pubiic service with that of the average clerical worker at the unir
