" E If uSJE 5S 8~ ALL .Dwj~Y Silence is golden During sports events a hush always falls on the crowd when they anticipate some dramatic devel- opment. The same happened in the University yes- terday as department heads, deans and other per- sonnel prepared for the administration's new re- quest for a $1 million budget cut. Everyone con- tacted indicated they did not know where cuts would be made, saying they would have to wait until they receive guidelines from the administra- tion. The administration in turn is waiting for the Regents to act on the request--and of course the regents declined to comment until they were pre- sented with the facts of the case. As best can be determined the University may soon be up a creek without a paddle or for that matter enough money. Corn a la Cobb Jewell Cobb may be a household name since it attracted much publicity earlier this year, but what was "J. Cobb" doing on a reserved plaque in the Rackham parking lot? Had the elusive Ad- ministration made another devious decision in the deep dark recesses of Devious Decisiondom? Had the Connecticut College educator finally found her way into the comfort of our happy home? Alas, but no. The parking place is reserved for one Jean Danzer Cobb, development officer of the Gradu- ate School. Jean won't have much need for her parking place in the near future though. Her ag- ing auto broke down Tuesday night and chances of recovery look slim. Viva la revolucion The University usually keeps its nose out of revo- lutions. But yesterday it found itself up to its neck in the spirit of independence as the Spanish de- partment celebrated the 165th anniversary of Mexican freedom. The event was a day late but in- ebriated students and faculty didn't seem to care as they sipped wine, beer, and listened to music while chatting in the language from south of the border. The commemoration party was organized by Walt Wilder as one of the weekly tertulia's (social get-togethers). Over-imbibing linguists could also indulge in (what else?) Fritos and cof- fee. Happenings . . . . . seem to be popping up all over today. At noon a Kathe Kallowitz etching exhibition will be in the Pendleton room of the Union. Later, at 6:30, the tenants Union will meet in room 4110 of the Union. At 7 -the University's Journal of Social Sci- ences and Humanities will hold an organizational meeting in room 102 of the Econ building. If you are good at being two places at once 7:30 is the time for you. In the Union room 3L Paul Centel- lela will speak about the Pine Ridge Reservation, summer '75. Meanwhile in East Quads Tyler house room 124 Men's raps will have a workshop on liberation. If you still have energy left at this point the Black Feminist Organization will meet in Guild house (802 Monroe) at 8:00. And on this day in history, in 1850 the fugitive Slave Act was passed, imposing harsh penalties on anyone caught aiding runaway slaves. Blue law blues Copenhagen concubines should best watch their step. A court there has ruled that a policeman can tell from the way a woman walks whether she is soliciting or not. One woman -who wasn't walk- ing the straight and narrow was fined $150. "This is ridiculous," she said at her trial. "If police can judge from a girl's way of walking whether she is out to make business then they should arrest lots of ladies all over town." Police can arrest women for "taking up a- position" or for soliciting within about 110 yards of their residence. But some of the businesswomen protested that they were ar- rested while waiting for a friend or shopping. One nrostitute claimed the stiff fines only made it ne- cessary for her to work harder.

In a letter to Rhodes express- ing unanimous concern, the committee stated, "We plan to continue to scrutinize the op- eration of CRISP (Computer Registration Involving Student Participation). If marked im- provements are not achieved in the program, it is our intention to recommend that it be aban- doned." SACUA IS the nine-member executive committee of the Senate Assembly, the repre- sentative body of the Univer- sity faculty. Professor Harold Johnson, chairman of SACUA, said last night he will press for improve- ments in the present system, but if results are not favorable he will advocate a return to the old Waterman Gym registra- tion. "I think that if we cannot im- prove the system to at least the way it used to be, we should revert," said Johnson. "My concern is with the}people who stood in that darn line for ump- teen hours.

Secretary of State Henry Kissinger confirmed at a news con- ference in Cincinnati yesterday that the Administration has "agreed to study" whether to supply Pershing missiles to the Jewish state. at to IN WASHINGTON, Israeli Defense Minister Shimon Peres said a National Press Club appearance that his government is willing promise not to put nuclear warheads on the missiles. AP Photo Liberty's litter Nine Golden Retriever puppies snuggle up to their mother, Liberty, as President and Ms. Ford along with their daughter, Susan, admire the litter. Betty Ford's press secretary said yesterday one of the puppies will be donated to the Leader Dog School for the Blind in Rochester. The first Family's dog gave birth last Sunday. "If you want to, we shall give such a guarantee," Peres said. Only the Pershing delivery system would be involved in the proposed program. There has been constant speculation that the Israelis have developed their own nuclear weapons. Israel's government has neither con- firmed nor denied it. KISSINGER returned to Wash- ingtonat mid-afternoon. Other sources in the Capital confirmed that the Pershing would be cap- able of reaching most of the major targets within the boun- daries of Israel's hostile neigh- bors. Meanwhile, the Ford Admin- istration yesterday prepared to go ahead with a controversial sale of 14 Hawk anti-aircraft missile batteries to Jordan aft- er assuring Congress that they would not be used offensively. The assurances satisfied the leading Senate critic of the deal, Clifford Case (D-N.J.), but were bitterly criticized as inadequate by opponents in the House of Representatives. UNDER A new law, Congress could have blocked the $260 mil- lion sale providing both Houses voted to register an objection by next Monday. By allaying Senate objections to the deal, President Ford cut the ground from beneath oppon- ents in the House. But he said, "I must confess that I'm still very unhappy over this deal." HE SAID the temptation to use- the Hawk batteries for pur- poses other than purely defen- sive "may well, at some point in the future, prove irresistible to the Jordanians." Another opponent of the deal, Representative Benjamin Rosen- thal (D-New York), called the Administration a s s u r a n c e s "meaningless and worthless." He said the assurances were not binding on King Hussein See U.S., Page 2 House unt asks arms sale o Turks WASHINGTON W)-A stepped up drive to lift the U.S. arms embargo against Turkey began in the House yesterday, with President Ford saying rejection this time would threaten West- ern security in the North Atlan- tic. The House International Rela- tions Committee approved, 25-9, a bill authorizing $185 million in arms sales to Turkey, plus arms sales needed for Turkey to car- rv out its North Atlantic Treaty (N A T 0) commitments. Full House action is expected next week. TIHE C MMTTTEE vote in- rcated a strong gain in support from the 16-12 tally by which the nanel aporoved a similar bill in July before the House voted it down and Turkey took over -U.S. bases in its country. Ford told the committee by letter that U.S. military facili- ties "which provided intelli- gence collection capability" and support U.S. and NATO forces are vital to American and West- ern security. "It cannot be in our interest," he wrote, "to risk further weak- ening Turkey's ties with the Western alliance system." CONGRESS cut off all U.S. military aid to Turkey effective Iast February in an effort to force Turkey to negotiate a Cy- prus peace, but Ford contended See HOUSE, Page 2 12.4% BOOST: Profs By MARGARET YAO pe The Committee on the Econ- 76 omic Status of the Faculty C (CESF) has urged a pay in- 18 crease of over 12 per cent for bu University professors next year, to which would require $6.1 million leg in additional funds. a f But University President Rob- dif ben Fleming says the proposed an 12.4 per cent pay hike "would sal be very difficult unless the econ- re- omy picks up."

The CESF report states the University's assistant professors are, by far, the highest paid among leading institutions and, according to Hymans, "very close to the top in any group." The University's associate professors are also first, al- though the lead is minimal com- pared to other institutions. However, CESF notes that at the rank of full professor, "we place only eighth on the list, with a compensation level near- ly 8.5 per cent below the first place school (Harvard)." FOR THIS reason, CESF has allotted $1.9 million in its fac- ulty compensation request spe- cifically for bringing "the rela- tive salary position of our full professors to a level more ap- propriate to the quality of the university we wish to maintain." These funds should also "pro- vide our associate professors with a somewhat firmer grasp on the first place among our quality peers," says CESF. The rest of the 12.4 per cent salary compensation request will be distributed generally across-the-board. FLEMING, in a letter to the faculty last July, suggested cut- backs in some University pro- grams to increase revenue for professors. "It may very well be that it will not be possible in the years ahead to carry on the enormous- ly broad range of programs which we now sustain, and that See PANEL, Page 8 By GLEN ALLERHAND Housing officials and students can't agree why dissatisfied dorm dwellers are being as- sessed $5 to switch rooms. This is the first time that such a fee has been charged, and few people concur on its usefulness. RATE Study Committee (RSC) members agree.that the fee was intended to save students money. The RSC was a group of stu- dents, headed by former Alice Lloyd Residence Hall Director Dick Munson, studying possible ways to slash costs at the Uni- versity. According to Dan Bejesky and Linda Lieberman, two former committee members, Munson determined that each dorm dweller was assessed $2.05 through his room and board costs to soak up the cost of the room switch on campus. The committee decided it would be more appropriate to charge only those students actually doing the moving. "IT'S MONEY saved," said Lieberman. "Before, the Hous- ing Office was putting out the money, which was coming out of my room and board. Now, just the students doing the changing are charged." Markley Hall Director Leroy Williams, who, along with the other dormitory directors, was involved in the decision to im- plement the charge, does not look at it that way. He cites two reasons in sup- port of the fee: -To discourage moving; and -To defray the administra- tive costs involved in processing a room change.. WILLIAMS adds: "I do know that, for instance, last year the amount of time my people were putting in was worth more than $5 per switch."
