Raises By MIKE FRITZ Gamecock Staff Writer Salaries will be increased for USC law school professors beginning July 1, law school Dean Richard E. Day said Tuesday. No figures were available on the new salaries, but Day called the increases substantial. "It's our goal to make the USC law school faculty salaries competitive with other state law schools in the Southeast, which would put us in good stead nationally as well." Day said the increases were the result of efforts started by former acting dean Harry J. Haynesworth, and completed by Day in his negotiations with the administration prior to his acceptance of the position. Day became dean on June 1. Low salaries were cited as the major reason for the resignations of six law school professors during iKo nod vAflr Hilt Hbv HIcnoroAi with this assumption, pointing out only two of the six professors, Margaret G. Stewart and Ralph U. Whit ten, have transferred to other schools. John C. Allen, James C. Bowers and Harry C. Lightsey have gone into private practice, and Webster Myers Jr. has been on sabbatical. OTHER REASONS NAMED for the resignations were conflicts with the USC administration. In 1975, the board of trustees decided to admit 14 students to the school with grade point , ratios less than 2.0. In the same year, the board decided to lower admission FREE BEER FREE BEEF iFREE g TONIGHT, g at \ I Rl i BAI I 2701 Rose Uh | LADIES FREE Mi W QQ W w Excellent Restaurant Qh ^ Proper Dress Require FREE BEER FREE BEER Andromeda/Ea due at lav EilisKi .

A minimum faculty ratio of 25 to 1 has been agreed upon by both the law school and administration. Day feels the dispute between the law school and administration has been overplayed, and it's not surprising the salary and admission problems have been easily resolved. "Some people might think that it was startling that the administration and I got along so well.
