State Board Grants Partial Approval For OU Benefits
Ohio University non academic employees won partial approval for a benefits plan at a Wednesday hearing before the Ohio Employer Compensation Board. Action on a step wage increase was deferred for a Department of Personnel study. Hospitalization for January 1 was approved. Local 1699 AFL CIO officials hailed the meal price cut to 15 cents, saving workers about seven dollars per two weeks. The board cited wage inequities at state universities and ordered a personnel study and review of contract employees. University officials say the study is key and retroactive raises could apply if completed in 1968.

Five Athens Doctors Stall Medical Center Plans
A new Ohio law delaying building near highways blocks five Athens doctors from issuing a building permit for a medical center near the Athens County Children's Home. The state Department of Highways has 120 days after a permit request to assess highway impact, with land purchases or time limits influencing action. John Dowler, deputy district director, says the rule will be used to pause projects that could affect highway plans.
