Carlson "As for the Carlson FROM PAGE 1B major things, I intend to be at all those," he said. If a major corporation wants to locate a plant in Springfield, he said, "I'm going to be the first one to shake the company president's hand." Scruggs has said that Carlson has not been a particularly active member of the council. But Carlson said he has been deeply involved in council work and would bring that approach 1 to the mayor's office.

On other issues, here are what the mayoral candidates are saying: Working "hand in glove with the Chamber (of Commerce)," Scruggs said he would like to establish a five-year plan to recruit industry to relocate in Springfield.

If Springfield is to have economic growth and more jobs, Scruggs said, "we have to join the world economic race and not sit back and say we in Springfield want to work for Americans only." Carlson said trips abroad will not help Springfield that much. The main challenge to attracting industry within the United States, he said, is to improve labor-management relations. He said he would look Scruggs Scruggs into forming a labor-management council that would attempt to head off disputes before they erupt. That's something Scruggs has mentioned recently as' well. Springfield has one of the most productive labor forces in the nation, Carlson said, and that must be communicated to industry.

"It's the only alternative we have," he said. Carlson said the city cannot "keep putting poisons into the land." "I'm against landfilling forever," he said. "'The solution is a combination of incineration and recycling." Scruggs and Carlson said the city is spending all it can on police protection. This is despite concerns of the Springfield Police Officers Association that the Police Department is understaffed and under-financed for a city its size. Carlson said spending more money on the Police Department would not necessarily result in less crime.

He has proposed beefing up and reorganizing the neighborhood-watch program. Scruggs said the Police Department does an outstanding job of protecting the city with the budget it has. He said the city's crime statistics are not out of line with cities of similar size. He said the SPOA has a vested interest in having a larger department because it would add members to its group. 7:05 a.m.

"It's absolutely refreshing for people, whether they're old, middie aged, what have you, to watch children," Henegar, whose two daughters, Courtney and Natalie, are enrolled in the Tender Care center, said. Not that the children or the center's older residents will have to mix together against their wills, Henegar said. "I think that's one thing for people to realize," Henegar said. "It's not a free-for-all." Newly-arrived residents will be asked if they want to be around children, and parents of day care center pupils will be asked if they want to have their children around older people, Henegar said.

But for the young and old who want to mix together, there will be ample opportunities, said Henegar, who with her physician husband, Ed, and two other couples owns the nursing facility. If the four children watched over by Tender Care director Beth Chritton and staff member Pat Ford were any indication, residents can expect a high-energy encounter. Playing in a room equipped with toys, learning games and childsized furniture, the children seemed at home in the newlyopened facility. The initial meetings between the children and the nursing facility residents have been positive, Chritton said. One mother whose child is enrolled in the center said she is enthusiastic.

Bookkeeper Mary Jean Hall said her daughter Gina Marie enjoys the experience. State child-care licensing representatives seem enthusiastic about the idea, as do people throughout the community who are interested in having a a a a licensed day care center available, Henegar said. Tender Care could be a model for Missouri, Child Care Licensing Supervisor Andrea Letsinger said. The Gainesville facility is unique in the 30-county area supervised by the Springfield office, and could be unique in the state, Letsinger said. Although several hospitals now operate child care centers, Henegar, who formerly was nursing supervisor at Ozarks Medical Center in West Plains, is the first person to combine a nursing facility with day care, she said.

The association's figures were drawn from data gathered from 1,900 institutions. It is the only nationwide faculty salary report available this year. The $45,520 figure is a composite for what full professors are earning at all institutions, from two-year community colleges to undergraduate institutions to research universities. At major universities with three or more Ph.D. programs, the average salary for full professors varied by more than $12,000 in different sections of the country.

At SMS, this year's average salary for full professors is $39,284, which is 6.6 percent above the school's average last year. Associate professors receive an average of $33,305, an increase of 7.9 percent. Assistant professors get an average of $27,910, a 6.1 percent hike. Instructors average $21,417, an increase of 4.8 percent. At Drury College, this year's average salary is $33,300 for a full professor, an increase of 8.8 percent from last year.

Associate professors average $30,900, an increase of 25.6 percent. Assistant professors average $22,900, a 14.5 percent increase. Drury instructors are paid an average of $19,800, an 8.2 percent increase. Because of statistical variations, the association's average salary figures can sometimes be several hundreds dollars higher than salaries actually are, said Larry Gates, executive director of planning and policy at SMS. Nationally, the top salaries were at universities in the Pacific states of Alaska, California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii the Middle Atlantic states of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania a ($55,680) and New England The lowest average salaries for full professors were at the Ph.D.granting universities in the Mountain states of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming the Central states of Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and the Dakotas and the Southern states of Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee The average salary for full professors at two-year colleges with academic ranks ranged from $28,940 to $40,690.
