Senate calls for wide- spread merit pay
By Don Jenkins
and Nevonne Harris
Merit pay should be distributed
to as many qualified faculty
as possible, the Faculty Senate
recommended to the colleges at a
special meeting Thursday.
The senate also recommended
that the number of faculty to get
merit pay not be determined
before formal evaluations are
conducted according to Faculty
Handbook criteria.
According to the handbook,
merit awards are to be distributed
using the same criteria as for
promotion and tenure.
The Legislature has earmarked
'Gordon'
generates
picketing
By Janice Keller
Blasting moviegoers with cries
of "Do you like to watch rape?"
and "Why do you hate women?"
approximately 25 students and
community members protested
the X-rated movie "Flesh Gordon,"
shown on campus Friday
night.
"Flesh Gordon," sponsored by
Western's Science Fiction and
Fantasy club, was released in
1974 as a parody of the once popular
television series "Flash
Gordon."
It is taken from the earliest
elements of science fiction, club
president Larry Baker said, and
based on the idea of "Flash Gordon"
fighting space wars and
defeating the bad guy. It contains
violence and sexual display
throughout the film.
The protest was arranged by
various Associated Students
organizations including the
Women's Center, said Donna
Langston, Women's Center coordinator.
The protest included not
only Western students, but ministers,
laborers and other community
members. As many men
participated in the protest as
women.
"Many people in the Bellingham
community are upset
that it is being shown on a college
campus by students with student
money," Langston said. She
added that this movie has been
protested nationally during the
years by many organizations.
Protesters said'they were concerned
about the graphic violence
toward women and minori-

some $380,000 to be distributed
beginning January 1985.
The Salary and Welfare Committee,
a subcommittee of the
senate, submitted a- list of
recommendations that the
senate voted to pass on to the
deans.
Although the thrust of the subcommittee's
recommendations
was to give as many qualified
faculty as possible merit awards,
it also recommended exceptional
rewards be given to professors
with exceptional qualifications.
Senate President Hugh Fleetwood
said it was the senate's role
to make general recommendations
to the colleges and urge
deans to consider them.
Western president G. Robert
Ross said at the meeting Thursday
he wanted to allay any fears
that the faculty's opinions on
merit distribution would not be
considered.
In the past, when merit
rewards were available, 10 to 15
percent of the faculty were
rewarded. But the merit money
available this time is substantially
more than in the past.
Ross said he hoped some of the
"best" professors could be given
an extra reward.
Last month Talbot, in a memo
to college deans, said it seemed
appropriate to reward 10 to 15
percent of the faculty again.
The value of those rewards
could be in excess of five steps per
recipient on the average, according
to Talbot's memo.
In its recommendations to the
senate, the Salary and Welfare
Committee stated this seemed to
suggest a new category of merit-
"a super merit"-that would provide
a six- to 10-step increase to
approximately 10 percent of the
faculty.
Western's faculty salaries are
based on a step system. Professors
have opportunities to raise
their salaries by gaining promotion
or tenure, step-extension
decisions or merit rewards, as
well as regular yearly increases.
The Legislature said the money
also can be used for market
adjustments.
A professor who is underpaid
compared to salaries in his field
at other schools similiar to Western
might be eligible for a market
increase.
Also disparities within a
department are considered.
Talbot said he expected about
five market adjustments to be
given.

Committee seeks infant care
By Angela Dean
Some women hdve left school
or cannot attend because infant
care services at Western are
limited.
Day care centers throughout
the community have waiting lists
for infants and many students
can't afford to pay the high costs.
The Associated Students Day
Care on campus only provides
services for 2- to 5-year-olds.
To address this problem, a
child care committee has been
formed to bring a proposal to the
AS board for an infant day care
center.
Donna Langston, a committee
member and coordinator of the
Women's Center, said the committee
hopes to bring a budget
proposal to the AS board before
the end of this quarter.
Peter Ramsey, another
member, said some board
members are concerned about
the need for services'ffor infants.
He estimated the cost would be
$8,000 a quarter to keep infant
care going.
Ramsey said he believes the
budget proposal can pass. He
said he would like to see a pilot
program started for winter
quarter.
Langston said if the budget is
passed by the AS board the next
step would be to find space,
equipment and staff.
She said the committee is looking
at Dorm 5 in the Fairhaven
complex. She also said she hopes
equipment such as cribs and
highchairs would be donated.
The committee also is considering
a lounge for mothers who
wish to nurse their babies.
Other members on the committee
are Larry MacMillan,
coordinator of the AS day care
center, and Jack Smith, AS
adviser.
Tonight, information and a
possible budget proposal will be
presented to the AS board at 6 in
Viking Union 219.
