situation for individual salaries, and the faculty should be given the opportunity to minimize the hardship to its individual members by careful examination of whatever alternatives to termination of services are feasible.

The faculty should participate in the selection of fringe benefit programs and in the periodic review of those

programs. It should be recognized that of these so-called

fringe benefits, at least those included in Committee Z's definition of total compensation have the same standing as direct faculty salaries and are separated for tax pur- poses. They should be considered and dealt with in the same manner as direct payment of faculty salary.

For Gwen Tnomas and All tne

Otkers in English 3 6, 37 . . . Once upon a page

of my Big Chief tablet I drew a big red robin

crayon bold in red and black

and yellow were his claws around the plain brown branch

he held in the blue sky of the whole page that back-and-forth

tired the hand except for the sun

deft-circled that held it all together,

that stood as target for the song I, you, and they

all heard and wanted to have me draw

for them to have at a glance; but my whole hand

tired on the second, the third dead copy, and my eye

stopped, my ear wandered

onto this page I'm writing once (without revision)

in hopes you'll hear that robin's song somebody else

has here reprinted just for you

for what that bird calls keeps.
