I rPap-scE W Dec. 7; 1983 Kcpwgf' n (S^ys P»c.7tl»83 Distribution of new faculty funds uncertain ■ Salary supplements and "merit money" will be available to CSUF faculty members for the first time next fall, but the questions of who'll get what remain to be answered. As part of the collective bargaining agreement between the CS U system and the faculty reached this year, universities may ask for funding for Market Condition Salary Supplements, salary increases designed to aid schools in their recruitment of faculty members. CSUF has asked the Chancellor's Office for such funding, but the request is still being considered. According lo the Chancellor's Office, a decision will be reached by Dec. 15. That decision, according to Michael Biechler. assistant vice president for personnel, will determine how much of the request — which affects three schools — will be funded, if the entire request is funded, about 100 faculty members will be getting bonuses next year, he said. "We just dont really know what's going to happen for sure." he said, "but we expect that at least one of them will be funded". The "merit money" made available to faculty will take the form of the Exceptional Merit Service Award, a SI,500 grant available to any member of the "campus community." Also a part of the recent collective bargaining agreement, the reward was created to help motivate faculty members as well as supplement the income of a few, Biechler said. The presence of the supplement program and especially the merit pay system come as a surprise to many observers, according to Biechler, because faculty groups had consistently opposed them in the past, fearing that they would be used as political tools to control faculty. Long-time pressure from the Chancellor's Office, however, helped result in an agreement. "There's been for a long time a desire on the part of the Board of Trustees and the Chancellors Office to reward merit." Biechler said. "The faculty groups, on the other hand, had a great concern about that. They said they would like to see merit rewarded, too, but they were concerned about how it was to be Until the Chancellor's Office decides how much of each campus's supplement request to fund, it will be unknown how much the new program will cost the system. Funding for the merit award program, which must come from the budgets of the individual universities, is limited, however. The universities may not grant awards to more than 10 percent of their faculty in any one year. The CSUF supplementary request is for the Schools of Business and Admi-' nistrative Sciences, Engineeringand Natural Science. Faculty from 12 departments with those schools will be eligible for the supplements if the total request meets with the chancellor's approval. Biechler would not release the size of the requested supplements. "We'd rather wait and hear from the Chancellor's Office," Biechler said. Those schools and departments were selected, Biechler said, because the university "knows the areas in which we haye difficulty recruiting." "We recruit 10 or a dozen engineers a year, for instance, and we only manage to hire half that at the most," he said. "If we want to hire a history or English professor, on the other hand — no problem." The university also compared CSUF salaries with those of faculty nationwide. While CSUF salaries generally compared favorably with those at other institutions, Biechler said, it was apparent that faculty in the areas eventually selected for supplements could get a better deal elsewhere — a situation the administration seeks to prevent. "We're not in the same level of competition with UC Berkeley, Harvard, Yale or the University of Chicago," he said, "but we compete pretty well with of o e and s Come, "RING IN THE HOLIDAY SEASON" at 5t*7 Annual SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1983 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Come to Kennel Bookstore for that rarest of things in December.. . an enjoyable day of shopping!

'Slow down' best advice for driving in Valley fog w According to the California Highway Patrol, there is no safe way to drive in the fog. . However, many CSUF students may not be accustomed to dense valley fog and might be forced to drive home or return to school in January in bad fog conditions. Officer Jim Taylor of the CH P has a number of tips for foggy day First of all, Taylor says, "don't drive if you don't have to." If you must drive, he said, "drive at a speed that you can stop safely within your visibility." That means "slow down," he said. Before driving in dense fog, Taylor suggests wiper blades, defroster and tire tread be checked first. These should be in top condition.. "Always drive with your headlights on even in just a little fog." Taylor said. "In California it's a law to drive with' headlights on any time your visibility is only 1,000 feet c "Dont drive with your bright lights on, or your parkjflg lights," he said. High beams are/ineffective in fog because the beanrreftects off the fog. It is illegal to drive with only parking lights "If you can,"Taylor said, "plan not to cross large intersections involving four lanes. It is difficult for other drivers to sec you." It also helps, Taylor said, to roll down a window, especially at an intersection. If you can't seethe cars, maybe you can hear them. When driving on highways, "try to drive in the right lane of traffic." Taylor said. .... If you must stop on the highway, pull onto the right shoulder of the road. Tayr lor said, "and then walk away.from the car. Don't go near the road." Finally, Taylor said, "don't pass. Many accidents happen because a driver thinks the car-in front of him is going too slow, so he tries to pass. Be patient." •Merit Coatiaaed from Pag* 10 unconvinced that inch awards will benefit everyone^ - - - - - Accord tMretjGepe Burton, Dean of the Schooldt Bususessand Administrative Sciendlij njcrney should not be the mofrvatfttofora faculty member to do his job.

The university has not yet chosen a method of selecting recipients, but Biechler said that winners would most likely have to exhibit "teaching effectiveness", "preparation" and "service."
