These students are living in Nash, Edens North, Kappa, Alpha, Delta, Sigma, Omega and Buchanan Towers dorms. "We explored many options and then narrowed them down to the ones that seemed most workable and would result in our not having to turn away students," University Residences Director Kay Rich said. "We didn't want to have to tell new freshmen 'We're sorry, we can't house you.'" Rich said interior designers examined several rooms across campus to determine which ones would be most suited to house three students. Western received 334 more freshmen this fall than last fall, Rich said. Western freshman Kim Houkal said she feels that space is too tight in her triple. "We have one mini-fridge for three people, there is no room See HOUSING, Page 4 Angela D. Smith/The Western Front Alisa Tobin types away on her computer as her roommates, Kim Houkal (left) and Nicky Lavoie (right), read during an average evening in their Nash Hall dorm room. Salary key in budget proposal By Jennifer Collins THE WESTERN FRONT A decade-long history of below-average faculty salaries at Western ' is the major focus of the new operating budget proposal released in September. If Washington's legislature ratifies the budget next July, Western's faculty will see 10 percent increases in its salaries oVer the next two years. "Competitive salaries are a priority in the competitive national market [for university professors]," said Provost Andrew Bodman. Bodman also said the salary increases will come from state funds and will not affect students' tuition. Attention to salaries is a state trend, according to The Seattle Times, which reported the University of Washington and Washington State University are pursuing faculty salary raises of similar proportion in their budget proposals. _ •..-;... Without competitive salaries, many departments will continue to see prospective and current faculty looking at other universities that can offer them better salaries, said James Hearne of the computer science department. Herane said he experienced "tremendous difficulty" filling faculty positions in his department. The dynamic nature of the technology field makes salaries in Computer Sciences even more competitive, Hearne said.
