Vol. XCI, NO. 7 Copyright 1981, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan-Thursday, September 17, 1981 Ten Cents Fourteen Pages *Students face tight job market By KATHLYN HOOVER As if holding down a full time job and going to graduate school aren't enough, Dan Kaller is looking for a second job to help him scrape by and pay his tuition bills. Gary Johnson, an undergraduate, cut his course load in half this term to take a full time job to pay for school. Now, Johnson says, he is looking for a part-time job to pay for next year. Kaller and Johnson are only two of an increasing number of students who have had to take on extra jobs in order .to stay in school. And as more and more ,.tudents enter the race for jobs, employment is oming increasingly elusive in Ann Arbor, according to both University placement officials and many local employers. OFFICERS AT THE University's student em- ployment office are blaming shrinking financial aid and the state's generally sluggish economy for the in- creased pressure on students to finance their educations by working part-time or full-time jobs. Carolyn Nuber, a University student employment of- ficer, also explained that more students are qualifying *or and accepting work-study jobs. "Three years ago we couldn't find enough students to }fill the jobs," Nuber said. "This year we need more jobs." NANCY LONGMATE, coordinator of student. em- ployment for the University's Office of Financial Aid, said there is a definite increase in the number of students working this year. She said in the past several years about 50 percent of students who qualified for work-study positions turned them dqwn. This year, however-though there are no definite statistics-it appears that fewer students are declining their work-study job offers, she said.

Unfor- tunately for former WBC welterweight champion Thomas Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard possessed the latter quality in their title unification bout last night in Las Vegas. Leonard scored a TKO against Hear- ns in the 14th round after knocking the Motor City Cobra twice to the canvas in the previous round. Leonard, who en- tered the 13th round trailing almost irreversably, picked up from the mid- dle rounds and landed a solid hook to the chin of Hearns, sending the Detroiter to the canvas for the first time in his professional career. SMELLING THE kill, Leonard then unleashed multiple combinations to the already sore midsection of Hearns. This sent the Hitman reeling to the ropes as the bell signaled the end of the round. IT WAS JUST a matter of time in the 14th round before the referee signalled an end to the contest. The victory was Leonard's 31st win-22nd by knockdown--against only one defeat. It was Hearns' first defeat in 33 professional bouts. Hearns seemed to be fighting his way out of an earlier predicament and ap- peared to be coasting to a victory. HEARNS' TACTICS in the later rounds surprised the standing-room only crowd oif 24,083 that had gathered in the sweltering night air at Ceasars Palace in Las Vegas. In the 10th and 11th rounds, Hearns listened to cornerman Emmanuel Steward's strategy to recapture his earlier form which enabled him to take a surprisingly easy lead over Leonard in the first five rounds. Before the stunning conclusion of the welterweight fight Leonard's success was only evident in the middle rounds where he abandoned his earlier clowning and All-type dancing and fought toe-to toe with the overpowering Hearns.

Maintaining that the latest proposal; cut too deeply into the. educational system, the legislators voted down the executive order only one hour after receiving it. IN SPITE OF the favorable vote, University Vice President for Academic Affairs Bill Frye said last night he is convinced the future for this year's state appropriations remains bleak. The governor still must find ways to make up the state's $135 million deficit There is n o reason to believe (yesterday's vote) improves our outlook, it just increases the uncertain- ty -Bill Frye, vice president for academic affairs by Sept. 30, as the state constitution requires a balanced budget at the end of each fiscal year. "There is no reason to believe (yesterday's vote) improves our outlook, it just increases the uncertain- ty," Frye said. BUT STATE legislators, while ex- pressing some doubt that the situation will improve, were more optimistic than the University administrator. Rep. Thomas Mathieu (D-Grand Rapids), chairman of the House sub- committee on education and a member of the appropriations committee who has been outspoken recently in his op- position to further cuts in education budgets, said yesterday's vote was "nothing to cheer about, but at least we're still in business." Mathieu said most of his colleagues on the committee who spoke before the vote supported saving education from more deep cuts: TWO-THIRDS OF the reductions listed in the executive order came from K-12 schools, community colleges, and the state's four-year universities, Mathieu said. 1 The legislator said he realizes some cuts will have to be made. "The pleasure of the victory today is a little bit shallow because we know that within a couple of weeks we'll be dealing with a property tax proposal (that could decrease government revenues further),"Mathieu said. Milliken is expected to propose property and business tax cuts to aid the state's ailing economy in his ad- dress to the legislature today. Having anticipated reductions in the state's original promise to increase the See LEISLATORS, Page 11 Orr, 'U' defendants in $15 million suit By JANET RAE A former Detroit high school basket- ball star is charging that the University and former Michigan basketball coach Johnny Orr, among others, "con- spired" to push him through high school and junior college so that he could play basketball for Michigan, causing him to suffer severe mental disabilities. The suit, which seeks $15 million in damages, was filed on behalf of Curtis Jones by his mother, Henrietta, more than 10 years after Jones suffered a mental breakdown while attending school at North Idaho Junior College. THE SUIT alleges that Jones, who was labeled a "slow learner," was Faculty irked by 5.5 percent salary hike By ANDREW CHAPMAN University faculty members, facing a salary raise that will not come close to the current rate of inflation, expressed anger yesterday at the administration's proposed budget plan. University administrators will go before the Regents today to ask for a 5.5 percent increase in the salaries of University faculty members for the current academic year. "WHEN WE START cutting back in higher education then I think we're doing a disservice to the University and to the whole country," University political science Prof. Arthur Miller said of the modest pay raise. "Our standard of living cannot be maintained on salaries of that type," Miller said. 'Our standard of living cannot be maintained on salaries of this type.' -A rthur Miller, political science professor Miller said that he believed professors may begin to leave the University in significant numbers to find higher paying teaching jobs elsewhere. The American Association of University Professors local President Robert Weeks said he also believes faculty members may begin defecting to universities that offer higher 'salaries. "If we get out of step with our peer in- stitutions, that's a danger (of losing faculty) that we'll have to reckon with," Weeks said. University economics Prof. Daniel Fusfeld said he thinks the University will begin to have problems recruiting new faculty members. "THE INFORMATION on who keeps up with the inflation rate gets around quickly," Fusfeld siad. "This will com- pound staffing problems that the Un- iversity already has." The University will have the smallest percentage pay raise among state schools this current academic year. Wayne State University leads the state with a 9.1 percent raise in faculty salary. Western Michigan University has the second smallest salary program in the state with an 8 percent pay raise forfaculty members. Last year the average pay raise for University faculty members averaged 9 percent. Salaries of the University president and six vice presidents ranged from 3 percent to 9.5 percent last year. "OUR SALARY program looks bleak," Weeks said. "One wonders why See FACULTY, Page 9 given an unmerited diploma from Nor- thwestern High.School so he could enter the junior college and improve his academic record to become eligible for admission to the University. Special Assistant Attorney General Peter Davis, who has been assigned to represent the University in the case, said the University should not have been named as a defendant because it had no official involvement with Jones. Roderick Daane, general counsel to the University, said the case involved an "issue of timeliness." Since most of the material cited in the suit dates back to the late 60s, "it makes for some pret- ty stale stuff," Daane said. He said the University intends to pursue a statute of limitation defense. ACCORDING TO the suit, Jones, who just turned 33 years old, was hospitalized for a breakdown he suf- fered while at the Idaho college because of "unrelenting razzing, insults, and taunts" from other students who discovered that he could not read or write. Eight defendants were named in the suit, including the University, Orr, former high school coach Fred Snowden, the Detroit Board of Education, and North Idaho Junior College. JONES' LAWYER, Jerome Quinn, said the suit was compiled from infor mation provided by Jones, his mother, variou~s documents, 'and "other wit- nesses."

The "living theater" Tuesday included employees garbed as ballerinas, queens and court jesters who milled around the dancing patrons as 28 Sunday Texas newspapers to $3 and $4 per copy in Michigan's unemployment stricken cities. "We went for more money and it turned out to be just a mess," said Sue Marshall, happy to be back in tiny Munith--a town of about 500 in northeast Jackson County. "It's hot and humid no matter which way you look at it," she said. "We didn't see a day under 100 degrees until October." Winter heating bills in Michigan drain less of the family budget than does the monthly cost of necessary air conditioning in the south, Mrs. Marshall said, pointing to her $186 per month electric bill for cooling the mobile home.
