Payroll Figures Debated The State Records Committee has ruled that payroll figures at Utah colleges and universities should be open to public inspection. But the State Board of Regents and the commissioner of higher education disagree. This latter opinion is being supported by the State attorney general's office. This debatable question is now being raised as to whether the salaries of Utah college and university employees should be a matter of public record. The matter is complicated by the fact that every state bordering Utah routinely makes such information available. Education officials in Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico said salaries of professors and administrators are available to anyone. But in Utah, Dr. T. H. Bell, commissioner of higher education, wouldn't publicly publish the information on the grounds that he wouldn't want to be "sued for invasion of privacy." "The attorney general's office raised certain issues with respect to the liability of providing this information in which individual names are used," was the reason Donald B. Holbrook, chairman of the State Board of Regents, refused to release the information. Brinton R. Burbridge, an assistant attorney general, advised Weber State College officials that it was his opinion not to release "personally identifiable" salary information. Mr. Burbridge's opinion was given after "Signpost" reporters of the Weber State College student newspaper asked college administrators for a list of faculty salaries. Some of the professors at the school threatened to sue if their salaries were disclosed. Attorney General Robert Hansen said Burbridge's opinion was an "advisory" one that could be overruled by a "formal" opinion by him. He also continued to say that such an opinion was unlikely in the near future. Hansen also said universities are reluctant to release salary information because problems could arise between professors in different fields of teaching. For example, he said problems could arise if professors in the sciences were shown to be paid more than those teaching subjects such as philosophy and English where they are a "dime a dozen." Under provisions of the Utah Information Practices Act of 1975, a State Records Committee was established to determine what information "should be open to the public." Last spring they ruled that salaries at Utah colleges and universities should be open to public inspection. Hansen, a member of that committee, contends that the group cannot set policy-only issue advice. Legislative General Counsel Mel Leslie said the committee was created and empowered to make policy by the legislature. Hansen expects the Board of Regents to take a formal position against salary disclosure, perhaps at next month's meeting. But he predicted the final outcome to be decided by the courts. Listed below are the 10 highest-paid public employees in Utah, based on a survey by the Associated Press. The Associated Press stated that the salaries of most college and university administrators could not be surveyed because the State Board of Regents refused to make the information public. 1. David P. Gardner, University of Utah president, $63,000. 2. T. H. Bell, commissioner of higher education, $54,888. 3. Dr. Anton L. Haidinyak director of the Utah State Hospital in Provo, $53,100. 4. Dr. Bruce Walter, deputy director Utah Department of Health, $53,100. 5. Dr. Roger Kiger, phychiatrist at State Hospital $49,812. 6. Dr. Serge Moore, state medical examiner, $48,600. 7. Rodney H. Brady, president Weber State College, $48,000. 8. Walter Talbot, superintendent of public instruction, $46,500. 9. Dr. Taira Fukushima, deputy director of health, $46,500. 10. Dr. E. Arnold Isaacson deputy director of health, $46,500. Harvest Holiday Set School will be excused this Friday and next Monday for the Harvest Holiday. The Harvest Holiday was initiated in the beginning days of UTC, when it was important that the students be given the extra two days to either harvest their crops, or go hunting for food. The Harvest Holiday generally coincides with the deer hunt. Often the deer bagged during the hunt was the main source of food for the winter for our pioneering students. School will return back to normal on Tuesday, October 24th. Cheerleaders Selected for New School Year By Frank Dade Six girls were selected as cheerleaders for 1978-79. They are: JaNae Andersen, Francy Hinckley, Julie Peterson, Jennifer England, Diane Nightingale, and Denise Williams with Betty Suiter as an alternate. A high yield of co-eds attended the official cheer-leading try-outs. They were held Tuesday Oct. 10 at the old BYU Womcns gym (Little Mac). Selection was made by a panel of judges consisting of former cheerleaders, student council members, cheerleading teachers, athletic coaches, and other faculty members. The contestants did not go before the student body. Each contestant was re New Office for Women By Cathy Ann Campbell A new organization, "Better Jobs for Women," has been established on the Orem Campus, under the direction of Anita Bradford and Jack Robinson. Better Jobs for Women was organized last March, and is now funded through Mountainlands. The main objective of the organization is to encourage women to seek employment in such non-traditional trades as: electronics, plumbing and dicscl mechanics. Ms. Bradford remarked, women need to be informed during high school of the different opportunities innon-traditional careers. "They need to start thinking about what they want to do with their lives." It is hoped that this organization will offer Schedule October 18--Deer Hunt Dance October 20-Harvest Holiday October 23--Harvest Holiday October 25--McKay - Richardson Campaign Talks October 31 --Halloween Movie October 31 --Mid-term Tests quired to perform a chant, a dance routine to music and splits and acrobatic skills. In addition each girl designed a sign showing support of the UTC athletic teams. Each girl was also required to learn a new cheer to perform it within a five min. time limit. The judges made their decisions based on appearance, creativity, coordination, rhythm, movement skill, voice projection, and personality of the contestants. After 7Vi hrs. of judging, the scores were tallied & each contestant was personally interviewed. Results were posted the following morning. Opens s Jobs women the opportunity to investigate the different careers, to establish career objectives and to assist in achieving those objectives. "Women are so unaware of the many options they have in careers," stated Robinson. Presently, Mr. Robinson, who comes to us with a well experienced background, is working with high school youth, men and women in the Job Placement Program. Mr. Robinson works primarily with C.E.T.A. students, both men and women. Ms. Bradford now teaches two classes on the Orem Campus; 'Socialization of Men and Women in Society' and an 'Assertive Training' class. of Events
