The only sure results of the Reagan
administration's supply-side policies are
redistributions of income, wealth, and
power, a prominent economist wrote in
the summer 1981 issue of Economic
Outlook USA, published by the Univer-
sity Institute for Social Research.
James Tobin, Yale University's
Sterling Professor of Economics, says
these wealth-power shifts will go from
government to private enterprises,
from workers to capitalists, from poor
to rich.
"WHETHER supply-side budget
cuts, tax cuts, and other measures will,
as advertised, lift the American
economy from stagflation to a new era
of prosperity, productivity, and growth
depends on empirical magnitudes of in-

come and substitution effects that are
not very well established. Supply-
siders' diagnoses of our economic ills
do not fit the facts," Tobin wrote.
Tobin disagreed with the contention
that rising federal tax levels have
slowed national economic growth and
called current attempts to use tax cuts
as investment incentives "half-baked
proposals."
"A revolution is in process all right,
social and political more than
economic," he concluded. "A capsule
symbol is the nearly universal en-
thusiasm in Washington to rid the
federal tax system of all semblance of
taxation of intergenerational transfers
of wealth.

University President Harold Shapiro
welcomed an enthusiastic crowd of
freshpersons to the University last,
night at Alice Lloyd residence hall.
Shapiro spoke at an introductory
meeting of a Pilot Program course
called "Making it at the University."
SHAPIRO emphasized the importan-
ce of receiving a superior education'
while attending the University. "The
hardest thing toAdo later in life is to
replace the educational opportunity you
had at the University," Shapiro told his

audience.
"The first thing to think about is what
you are going to do academically for
the next four years," he said.
"Don't cut yourself off from a
meaningful exposure in the
humanities," Shapiro added.
The University president stressed the,
need for student to participate in non-
academic activities, but, he added, "I
think extra curricular activities are
important, but secondary."
AFTER HIS LECTURE Shapiro an-
swered questions raised by students

Shapiro greets new class

who were interestedin the University's
financial situation.
. When asked why instructional areas
of the University had to suffer from
budget reductions Shapiro replied, that
out of the 11 million dollars cut from
this year's University budget, " . .. only
a small share of the cuts were in the in-
structional area."
When asked what the administration
was doing to increase falling minority
enrollment at the University Shapiro
said,"We're trying our best to attract
more minority students, but we must be
doing something wrong."

University President Harold Shapiro
received a 6.6 percent pay raise in
February. N
Shapiro's salary hike and pay boosts
for the six University vice presidents
became known in late August after
press inquiries were made to compare
Shapiro's pay with Michigan State
University President Cecil Mackey's
salary of $88,000.
EFFECTIVE LAST Feb. 1, Shapiro's
salary was increased to $79;950, up
from the previous $75,000 annually.
Salaries of the six vice presidents were
increased from between 3 percent and
9.5 percent. Pay raises made last fall
for University staff and faculty mem-
bers averaged 9 percent.
"We can't attract quality people if we

don't pay them appropriate salaries,"
Shapiro said yesterday. He said
University officials,"really didn't think
about" announcing the raises in
February.
Joel Berger, University Information
Services Director, said he would have
announced the raises if he would have
known about the pay hikes. Usually,
raises are given in the fall. Berger said,
however, the Regents and the president
postponed executive officers' raises un-
til more information was available con-
cerning University appropriations.
"It was so far out of the ordinary in
terms of the timing that no one
bothered to call this office and say,
'Hey, make an announcement,'
Berger said.
According to Shapiro, he ,,proposed
the vice presidents' pay hikes based on

eir performances and funds
vailable. The Regents approved those
raises, as well as Shapiro'ssalary in-
crease.
The other pay hikes follow: James
Brinkerhoff, vice president and chief
financial officer, $74,666, up from
$70,440; Billy Frye, vice president for
academic affairs, $72,000, up from
$70,000; Henry Johnson, vice president
for student services, $51,742, up from
'$48,357; Richard Kennedy, vice
president for state relations, $53,498, up
from $48,857; Charles Overberger, vice
president for research, $67,747, up from
$63,300; and Michael Radock, former
vice president for university relations,
who has since-resigned his post for a
new one in California,$63,068, up from
$59,236.

University President Harold Shapiro
will hold an open forum to hear public
opinion on the proposal and also
schedule ;private sessions with in-
dividuals.
Frye probably will formulate a
decision to present tp the Regents at
their Oct. 15 meeting, according to Ed-
ward Dougherty, assistant to the vice
president for special projects.
The program-which supplies 36 of
the state'S 87 physical therapy

graduates each year-has been
struggling for three years for financial
and administrative support from the
University, according to Physical
Therapy Curriculum Director Richard
Darnell.
Citing a "decade of neglect"
primarily due to the University's
stronger commitment to medical doc-
tor training and research the
program's faculty requested that either
the physical therapy program. "be
operated within the current educational

realities or be discontinued in an or-
derly End equitable fashion," Darnell
said.
According to Gronvall's recommen-
dation, the program is "not central to
the mission of the medical school" and
its elimination would not "adversely af-
fect the hospital's ability to provide
physical therapy services to its patien-
