Economic Life Of Instructors To Be Studied

Living Conditions of Teaching Fellows and Instructors Will Be Eyed by Teachers Union

The Teachers' Union yesterday drew up a committee to investigate and discuss economic and living conditions of teaching fellows and instructors at the College.

Formation of the Committee immediately follows Wednesday's announcement by Provost Buck of a $200 a year pay raise for teaching fellows during the next fiscal year. Union President Jerome S. Bruner said the committee will function primarily as an aid to a larger Faculty group already at work on a similar project.

Will Investigate Economics

Leo Marx, teaching fellow in History and Literature, will chair the new committee, assisted by Samuel F. Johnson, David Levin '34, John O. McCormick, and George R. Stange, all teaching fellows or instructors.

The group plans to investigate the economies of College officials in their own positions. The findings will be forwarded to the Faculty Committee.

The Faculty group is seeking information on the economic position of all Faculty members, but no teaching fellows or instructors are included in its membership, for they cannot attend Faculty meetings.

Bruner, an associate professor of Social Psychology, is a member of the larger faculty committee.
