They began in the early af- ternoon listening to the student gover- nment talk about itself and finished late last night meeting in closed session. with the University's attorney. Disclosure of name-linked salary in- formation was a topic of discussion at the Regents' evening meeting with the Senate Advisory Committee on Univer- sity Affairs (SACUA), the faculty governing board. The same issue also was expected to be brought up during the closed session with University General Counsel Roderick Daane. TTHE REGENTS will vote today whether or not to comply with a recen- tly-signed state'law that requires the University to releasemthe salaries of faculty and staff members at public in- stitutions of higher education, The University has received several requests for the informationsince the law was signed by Lt. Gov. James Brickley Oct. 26. At last night's closed session the Regents were to discuss a suit filed two years, ago by the Ann Arbor News, in- volving faculty disclosure. The suit concerns an attempt by the newspaper to secure several confidential Univer- sity reports. SALARY DISCLOSURE has ap- peared periodically as an issue before the Regents since 1972: In September 1973, Regent Gerald Dunn (D-Lansing) proposed that salaries be made public See REGENTS, Page 6 Iran cuts off all exports to U.S. oil firms Daily Photo by DAVID HARRIS REGENT ROBERT NEDERLANDER (D-Birmingham) and Interim President Allan Smith walk by picketing Gradu- ate Employees Organization (GEO) members.

From AP and Reuter Iran took President Carter's embargo on U.S. oil imports from Iran one step further yesterday, halting sales of oil to American companies for delivery anywhere in the world. The Iranian move may mean tighter supplies of petroleum products and higher fuel prices this winter, according to analysts. Industry analysts estimate that U.S. oil companies have been buying about one fourth of Iran's 4 million-barrel-a- day produciton. About two-thirds of the Iranian oil bought by U.S. firms has been coming to the United States. The rest goes to Japan and a few other nations. SEVERAL COMPANIES confirmed they had received ,notification from Iran that sales of Iranian oil to U.S. comipanies were being halted im- mediately. On Monday, President Carter or- dered U.S. oil companies to stop buying Iranian crude oil for shipment to the United States. The order came in response to the holding of 60 American hostages by Iranian students in the U.S. embassy in Tehran.E - Administration officials said at the time, however, that U.S. oil firms sill would be allowed to purchase Iranian oil for delivery elsewhere. By shuffling supplies, experts said, the United States might not be deprived of the 700,000 barrels of Iranian oil products it has been receiving each day-about per cent of U.S. supply. BUT IRAN'S move yesterday eliminated that possibility. Speaking to the annual AFL-CIO con vention in Washington yesterday, Car- ter denounced the seizure of the em- bassy in Tehran as an act of terrorism to which the United States would not yield. The Presidentaccused the Iranian revolutionary government of inciting anti-American mobs and said the United States would not discuss Iran's own concerns until the hostages were freed. CARTER SAID he-held the Iranian government fully responsible for the well-being of the property and diplomatic representatives of a foreign country. "The host government has condoned and even encouraged illegal action See CARTER, Page 14 'U' ECONOMISTS RELEASE 1980 FORECAST: Recession to be mild By MARK PARRENT Increasing unemployment, continued high inflation, and a decline in the out- put of goods and services will combine to produce a "mild" national recession in 1980, three University economists predicted yesterday. Economics Department Chairman Saul Hymans, University President- designate andEconomics Prof. Harold Shapiro, and Research Associate Joan Crary presented their nationally- respected annual forecast yesterday at an economic conference in the' Rackham Amphitheater. WHILE TIHE U.S. economy on the average is not expected to suffer a severe setback, the forecast predicts a "long and fairly deep" recession for both the automotive and home building industries. The forecast blames record high in- terest rates for the 'projected housing slump and partially attributes the ex- pected automotive slowdown to in- creasing gasoline prices. This morning, the economists will Five SAID candidates vying for LSA-SG Executive Council release a specific 1980 forecast for Michigan's economy. The state's economic health is largely dependent on the fortunes of the ailing automobile industry. The economy should begin to recover from the slowdown at the end of next year, the economists reported, but it is expected to be "sluggish" for two main reasons: ' THIS RECESSION is not expected to be accompanied by easing credit conditions - which usually allow the banking system to promote economic expansion easily -- because the economists assume the Federal Reser- ve Board will continue its present policy of slow monetary growth; 9 Gasoline price inflation is expected to prevent the automobile industry from recovering as fast as it otherwise might if fuel prices were not rising so dramatically. Specifically, the forecast predicts for 1979 and 1980 a jump in the unem- ployment rate from 5.9 per cent to 7.1 per cent, inflation holding steady on average at 8.9 per cent, and a drop in the Gross National Product (GNP) rate from a 2.1 per cent growth rate to a negative .25 per cent loss (as caluclated in 1972 dollars). THlE INFLATION rate was computed using the GNP deflatormethod, a procedure that takes into account the prices of most tangible goods and ser- veies. The Consumer Price Index method, which is used most often when See ECONOMISTS, Page 6 SACUA discusses salaries with Regents By CHARLES THOMSON Although four of the five candidates for LSA Student Government (LSA-SG) Executive Council from the Students for Academic and Institutional Development (SAID) are currently serving on the council, not all the par- ty's candidates stress the preponderan- ce of incumbents. One SAID candidate, Mark Alonso, who currently serves on the council, said he does not think his party is stressing incumbency, because the SAID incumbents have been on the council since only October. "I DON'T THINK we have a record to speak of," said Alonso. "we may be in- cumbents, but- we were appointed a month ago to fill vacancies." SAID was formed three weeks ago, explained the party's presidential can- SLSA-G elections didate Daniel Solomon. Solomon denied that there was any connection between the appointments of Alonso, Gregory Wert, Margaret Talmers, and Beth Lori to the council about one month ago and the formation of the party. Wert, Talmers, Lori, and sophomore Mitchell Mondry are all candidates for the council. Mondry is the only person on the SAID slate who is not currently serving ont he LSA-SG Executive Council. Alonso and Lori are sophomores, while Wert and Talmers are freshpersons. IOWEVER, TALMERS said that "SAID is generally emphasizing our experience." She added that all of SAID's candidates have served either on the council itself or on one of the LSA-SG committees. All- the SAID candidates said they wish to pursue "educational develop- ment" through their involvement with See FIVE, Page 6 By ALISON IIIRSCIIEL In "an infomal meeting with the Senate Advisory Committee on Univer- sity Affairs (SACUA) last night, the University Board of Regents mainly discussed the problem of faculty salaries not keeping pace with inflaton. Other ,topics included the search for a new vice-president for academic af- fairs, and the faculty grievance procedures. The faculty's major concern seemed to be the salaries issue. "We're here to tell you the things on the faculty's mind. The faculty is very concerned and very frustrated by this salary thing," said Arch Naylor, an engineering professor and vice-chairman of SACUA. Naylor led the. discussion in the absence of Dental Prof. Richard Corpron, who regularly chairs SACUA. ACCORDING TO Naylor, the issue of salaries failing to rise at a rate com- parable to salaries in other professions has beentbrought to the Regents' atten- tion for the past three years by both SACUA and the Committee on the EconomicnStatus of theeFaculty (CESF). SACUA member Jesse Gordon, a social work professor, said some faculty members feel "the walls pressing in from all sides" and ex- plained, "salaries will never rise with the inflation rate, so we're looking for- ward to long-term deterioration." "The prospects for 1980-81 may well be better than it is for '79-'80, but they do not create that rosy-or green, you might say-hue we'd like to see," In- terim University President Allan Smith said.

While opposing coaches and camera- persons across the country may not miss the long-time Buckeye gridiron leader, the portly, gray-haired figure is noticeably absent from the hype preced ing the annual Michigan-Ohio State football extravaganza. BUT RESPITE the firing of Hayes last year, the pomp, pageantry, and general bacchanalian decadence ap-. pears to be as prevalent as ever this year as the Maize and Blue prepare to meet the Scarlet and Gray Saturday. "I was going to sell my ticket because I'm short on tuition this year," said University freshwoman Ramona Bashshur, "but I wouldn't give up the Ohio State game for anything." Bashshur, attired yesterday in Maize and blue scarf-and-hat combination, said she was going to attend the Mud- bowl rally tonight even though she is busy with schoolwork. THE MUDBOWL, located at the in- tersection of South University and Washtenaw, is a large pit on the groun- ds of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. The Mudbowl pep rally, which begins at 7:30 p.m., is held every other year prior to the Michigan-Ohio State battle. It is expected to attract more than 4,500 participants tomorrow night, according to University Activities Center (UAC) president Jeff Yapp. After speeches by local celebrities, including Michigan head football coach Bo Schembechler and sports commen- tator Bob Ufer, the crowd will march east on South University to the Michigan Union for a pre-game party. The Mudbowl festivities will also in- clude a bonfire and a performance by the 220-member Michigan marching band, according to Yapp. RADII) TALK show host Dick Pur- tan, from CKLW in Windsor, will lead See WOODY, Page 16 By BETH PERSKY. The upcoming showdown between Michigan and Ohio State could put a few enterprising University students out of business - at least until next football season.m The often lucrative business of ticket scalping will come to a resounding close with Saturday's Big Ten finale, but for many of the industrious students it has been a happy season. ONE PARTICULARLY jubilant businessman, who asked not to be iden- tified, said he has made $3,500 scalping tickets since the Notre Dame game. An engineering senior reported making $500 from Notre Dame tickets alone. But Saturday's game is the big one, and despite the recent loss to Purdue, Ohio State tickets remain a precious commodity in this town. According to scalper Dan Berent, a graduate student in business, his average profit per ticket for Saturday's Ohio State game is $10 to $40. Student football tickets normally sell for $4.50, half of the regular price of $9. ANOTHER SCALPER, who asked to remain anonymous, said the price for a single ticket in the end-zone generally starts at $25, while a pair on the 50-yard line are going for $150. According to Berent, Ohio State ticket prices are about the same as they were two years ago - the last time the Buckeyes came to town. he added that his profits have actually been greater this week than last week. "I've been buying them for a lot less and selling them for a lot more," he said. HOWEVER, ONE hard-core scalper who asked to be identified as Ken, said last weekend's loss to Purdue "really killed" sales with Michigan fans. 'The only way to sell them now is to people from out-of-town. It's impossible to sell them in Ann Arbor," Ken said. University Athletic Director Don Canham said scalping doesn't bother him: "You can sell anything you want for anything you can get for it. It wouldn't affect us (the Athletic Depar- tment) one way or the other," he said.

Stevens is particularly concerned about the rip-offs because the new phones were specially rigged to allow anyone to make emergency calls free of charge by dialing 911. "We can't figure out what someone would use them for," a puzzled Stevens said. "It's hurting the University community. Stevens urged anyone with information about the phone booths to call him at 763-3434. Hi ho Silver Lone Ranger Clayton I Rangers of the American League have signed Moore for an undisclosed sum to work in the team's promotional depar- tment. According to team owner Brad Corbett, "We'll have Clayton in Fort Worth in February during the Fat Stock Show to help us sell season tickets, then he'll be here on opening day and also on special occasions during the season. I'm also predicting Clayton will be the best free agent we've ever signed." Corbett's offer to the masked hero includes a minimum of 10 personal appearances during the 1980 season.
