Brazer also pointed out that the
average instructional salary at
Washtenaw Community College is
more than in the LSA and several other
departments and schools.
He said that as faculties with
organized groups move ahead of the
* University in salary figures, some
faculty members may begin to think
about bargaining.
.THE ISSUE of salaries is something
that faculty has always faced at the
University, Brazer said. He said there
are other ways the faculty could
receive increased salaries, but "the
reuest, sUa tnatLte university
doesn't ask for more than it needs.
The budget increase does not allow
for a tuition increase. Smith said the
state's general philosophy is that
students should carry some of the bur-
den of budget increases, which is why
tuition goes up every year.
"I JUST DON'T know what can be
done about the tuition," Smith said.,
In addition to the regular budget
requests, a separate request for
building and remodeling for the coming
fiscal year is $9.1 million.

Smith said. In his state of the Univer-

did not believe the state would consider
a hike as much as 16 per cent
reasonable.
"You can justify the (16 per cent)
figure. If they (the faculty) get that
much they will not be overpaid," Smith
added.' He said the 11 per cent figure is
likely to be in reach of what the Univer-
sity could reasonably expect from the
legislature.
In addition to the request for salary
increases, the extended appropriation
provides for a 15.8 per cent increase in1
staff benefits, which includes a new1

,volition, said Earl Schulze, English
.professor and Secretary of the Assem-
bly. Like most opponents to the bill,
Schulze cites invasion of privacy as his
major objection.
- SOME FACULTY members, on the
other hand, said they favored salary
disclosure because they thought it
would result in a fairer distribution of
University funds. They contended that
refusal to release salary information is
tantamount to a cover-up of salary
inequities.
Earlier this year Rep. Jerome Hart
(D-Saginaw) wrote to all 13 state-
supported four-year universities in the
state, demanding "individual names,
position, titles, and current salary, ex-
clusive of fringe benefits."
Of these universities, only the
University and Michigan Technological
University (MTU), refused to provide
the information.
MTU IS currently involved in a
lawsuit in the Grand Rapids Court of
Appeals over the issue of salary
disclosure. The case arose when
negotiators at Northern Michigan
University wanted to learn about
salaries at MTU for purposes of com-
parison, according to an aide in the of-
fice of Sen. William Faust (D-
Westland), one of the bill's sponsors.
Students at MTU found that their
university would not release the'
requested information and consequen-
tly brought suit. If the case is resolved
in favor of the students, it would have
the same effect on state universities as
would Senate Bill 504.
The bill did not generate controversy
in the state Legislature, according to
Rep. Dennis Hertel (D-Detroit), the
measure's chief sponsor in the House.
"It's one of those bills where no one had
anything to say for or against it."
THERE WAS only minimal
discussion when the bill was approved
by the Senate in July.
President. Smith said many ad-
ministrators believe the issue isn't wor-
th fighting about anymore. Smith added
he doubts the University will mount any
political campaign against the
measure.
The problems inherent in releasing
salary information are complicated by
the fact that not all faculty members
are paid in the same way, said Olivia
Birdsall, executive secretary of the
Senate Advisory Committee on Univer-
sity Affairs (SACUA).
ACCORDING TO Birdsall, some
professors receive salaries from the
general fund, while others are paid for
consultations. Moreover, some or all of
certain professors' paychecks come
from special funds, she said.
For this reason, Birdsall claims that
universities who have disclosed salary
information "only release certain types
of salaries. It's fiction that MSU
(Michigan State University) releases
salaries," she said.
Despite these difficulties, Smith has
said that all the requested information
is readily available from the University
computer system. So if the governor
signs Bill 504 into law, those names and
numbers are ready for public consum-
ption.
Lightning can be as important
ecologically as rainfall or temperature.
The death of a tree struck by lightning
can mean life for other things such as
insects and birds which are dependent
on dead trees.
Chinese dissident
convicted of treason
PEKING (AP) - China's most
famous young dissident was sentenced
to 15 years in prison yesterday for
giving military secrets to a foreigner
and seeking to overthrow the gover-
nmnent.
-The conviction of 29-year-old
magazine editor Wei Jingsheng is to be
followed today by the trial of a woman
dissident, the next in what' appears to
be a series of trials of leaders of last
year's "democracy movement."
THE NEW defendant, Fu Yuehua, 36,
is said to have planned and directed the
protest marches of several hundred
nien and women who sought redress of
grievances dating back to the .1966-69
Cultural Revolution. The charges
against her have not been announced.
Wei, editor and writer for the
magazine Explorations, was convicted
in a six-hour trial sure to be studied by
many Chinese for clues to the direction
Chinese justice is taking in an era of
promised greater freedom. The case is
being viewed as a test of China's
emerging legal,system and tolerance of
democracy and dissent.
About 700 people jammed into the
courtroom of the Intermediate Court to
witness the proceedings and although
Xinhua, the official news agency, was
represented, foreign correspondents
were barred. Television cameras were
there but the trial was not broadcast
yesterday.
THE COURT also ruled that after
Wei has served his sentence he will be
deprived of his political rights for three
years. Wei was arrested March 29 and
had been held since then without trial or
publication of charges against him.
Xinhua said during last winter's bor-
der war with Vietnam, Wei supplied the
unidentified foreigner with the names
of commanders of Chinese troops, their
number, the number of casualties and
battle developments.
It said he also wrote many articles
agitating for the overthrow of the dic-
tatorship of the proletariatand the
Communist system.
WEE, WHO also is an electrician at
the Peking Zoo, acted as his own defen-
se counsel, according to Xinhua. The
news agency did not report on Wei's
defense arguments.
One of the accusations against him
was that he had written in Explorations
that Mao Tse Tung thought Marxism-
Leninism "was a prescription only
slightly better than medicine peddled
by charlatans,".and that the socialist
dictatorship of China was "nothing but
feudal monarchy disguised as
socialism." He urged people to seize
power "from these overlords," if the
situation continued.
Like many other young people, Wei
became involved in the season of
human rights proclaimed by senior
Vice Premier Teng Hsaio-ping last
November.
In the crackdown that followed, 30 to
40 of the bolder critics were hauled off
to prison, identified in surviving
publications as the Ancient Virtue
Forest No. 1 on the outskirts of Peking,
long a place of confinement for
revolutionaries.

opportunity awaits individuals with degrees in Industrial
Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Manufac-
turing Technology as members of our Manufacturing
Engineering/ Control team.

growth. They are complimentary of our production and
cost controls. (Over a recent 10-year period, TI's unit
output per man-hour increased 13% versus a 2% gain
for the rest of the U. S. private sector. Over the same
period, our prices decreased an average of 8% per
