Each day at sunset, Mr. Brown records his climatical observations.

One of the major purposes of the national AAUP Is to preserve and promote academic freedom and tenure, which is the function of its Committee A. This committee embodied in its initial report the 1915 DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES, the cornerstone of all subsequent elaborations of Association policy in this vital area of professional concern. The members of Committee A of the local chapter are Mr. Delvin Klingensmlth, Dr. Edgar vom Lehn and Mr. Kenneth Young. This committee is one of the three main functioning committees of the organization. Committee S, the second main committee, seeks to study the responsibilities, freedom, and rights of students on the campus. The local committee is headed by Robert Montgomery and consists of Mr. Henry G. Morgan, Mr. Michael Kennedy and Mr. Richard Peake. "This is the committee," Barnhart said, "which would deal with such student complaints as the 'loyalty oath'." The third major committee is Committee T, which concen- of the faculty in college and university government, which is headed locally by Dr. Harold Kennedy. Members of the committee are Dr. Floyd Cunningham and Dr. Theodore Huguelet. A major project of the national AAUP at present is a study of the economic status of the profession, undertaken in accordance with a 1957 presidential recommendation that teacher salaries be improved in order to attract and retain competent scholars in the field of education. In accordance with this study, the AAUP has conducted a self- grading Salary Survey. The grading scale is from AA through E, and, Barnhart stated, WCC rates second from the bottom with an average faculty salary of $6800. President Paul A. Reid will be the guest speaker at the chapter meeting on December 13. He will speak on the issues of academic freedom and tenure and methods of recruiting and promoting faculty members at WCC. Barnhart stated that all faculty members who are members of the national AAUP are urged to join the local chapter. He said, "Inasmuch as the essential members of most institutions of higher learning are the faculty and the students, the emergence of a chapter of the AAUP on this campus suggests that the college may be approaching a new level of responsibility and progress." Millions of pieces of fine steel wire, in small sizes, are being used in the under tread of heavy duty tires to resist cuts and slashes. The chopped-up wire is also being mixed into automobile tires to make them skid-resist ant ALWAYS READY TO SERVE the students needs at Reid Gymnasium is Mr. Jack Henson, Equipment Attendant. An integral part of WCCs phsyical education program, Henson is no stranger to those students who take the required service courses. This leaves very few who are not acquainted with the "man in the cage."
