Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 29, No. 8. 1966.

Salary Rise?

Salary Rise?

When Mr. Holyoake declares the Rankine Brown building "open" next Tuesday, he can be expected to use the opportunity to stress the National Party policy on education.

What else will he announce?

It is probable he will announce a pay rise for university stall.

The Government is known to be planning a small pay rise for university staff—of the order of £50 per year— and it is quite probable that he will take the opportunity to do so.

This pay rise, to be justified by reference to recent rises in comparable Government services, could be a powerful political move.

It is believed that the universities' salaries investigation hopes to announce its findings just before this year's general election in the hope of extracting action from the government. A rise now would slightly, offset the effect of this.
