FKO-FEMINITYdebaters repeat they were not against equality for > structure h By JANE SHEALY Gamecock Staff Writer A proposal that would require university and college professors to put in 12 "student-contact" hours each week of every semester was defeated by a subcommittee of the Senate Finance Committee. THE PROPOSAL, developed by Roger Kirk, Gov. Edward's executive assistant for education and manpower, was voted down unanimously by the committee chaired by Sen. Happy Chapman D-Greenville. The proposal stated that "all proiessors, associate professors, assistant professors and instructors employed by institutions of higher learning funded under this act shall teach a minimum of 12 clock hours per week each semester and at least six hours per week in one session of summer school in order to be paid a full salary."

Knisely, chairman of the S.C. council of college and university presidents. It was just too simple as a proposed act for the complex program it was supposed to solve, Knisely said. He is planning to help re-write the bill, to be reintroduced next year. Kirk said professors want to make their own provisions concerning guidelines for salary pnlWlinn IN ADDITION to the 12 hour week, the proposal also called for deans and department chairmen to work "three clock hours per week if supervising 20 or more professionals; six clock hours per week if supervising a faculty of 10 to 19 professionals; and nine clock hours per week if supervising a faculty of less than 10." According to Knisely one of the reasons for the proposal was Governor James Edwards' statement that all University classes are being taught bv graduate assistants.

Kirk said the hours of professors, associate professors, assistant professors and instructors in the case of "public employment or research are lowered by the percentage of their salaries paid for by grants." Kirk also said that he doesn't think the governor "is dead set on this proposal ... to be implemented this year." The proposal will be somewhat altered and presented again next year to the senate. "It's n rn 11 oh mnra nnmnlnv ? - w ? V?V?? iUVtV VUIIipiVA problem than the proposed act would effectively handle," Knisely said. "I would be glad to help them put together something that would pass." Governor Edwards had previously stated that he didn't care for the summer school requirement listed in the original proposal.
