Legislature ponders wisdom of increasing minimum wage By Daniel Short Legislative reporter

HELENA — A bill that would raise the minimum wage from $4.35 to $5.50 per hour would present some economic hope for the 125,000 Montanans living below the poverty line, the bill’s sponsor told a legisla­ tive committee Thursday af­ ternoon. Rep. Carley Tuss, D- Black Eagle, told the House Labor and Employment Re­ lations Committee that House Bill 630 would help “the thousands of women who are working and still can’t afford to put food on the table for their children.” The bill, which would ap­ ply only to businesses with 100 YEARS gross sales of more than ^TIIE BATTERY A First Montana Light $110,000, drew strong oppo­ Artillery, a Missoula-based non-profit sition from representatives organization, put on a spectacular cannon ofthe retail, restaurant, gro­ salute for UM’S Charter Day festivities.

Dennison said “there’s no way we’ll be able to attract the quality of people we have now” if the salary cuts are made. Indeed, how low can pay go before we start to lose good administrators? Although pay for an administrator looks like simple bureaucratic fat on paper, it’s hard to judge a person’s worth from mathematical figures. After all, a position is only as good as the person who fills it. That may not mean much on a bud­ get sheet, but it’s important to stu­ dents who need help with financial aid, or professors who need a good dean to oversee their departments.

By Michael David Thomas StaffWriter

After a heated and lengthy debate Wednesday evening, ASUM Senate finally approved a staggered pay-scale for ASUM student employees. Eric Hummel, ASUM business manager, said the raise, which would go into effect Fall Semester, would cost ASUM around $67,000 for its student employees, $9,000 more than the original budget plan. Hummel added that ASUM groups and clubs have asked for about $300,000 more than what the senate has already budgeted AD YLAN TORCOLETTI (left) and for next year. Daniel Morrow cover their ears Greg Fine, senior in political science and during one of the midday cannon former ASUM member, said $9,000 is only blasts that were part of UM’s the beginning of the costs, since workman’s Charter Day celebration Thursday. compensation and other fees would increase Steve Torcoletti brought the boys costs further. down for the thunderous event.
