I * The Michigan Daily-Thursday, September 17, 1981-Page'9 Cuban F offi c 1ia is denied U.S. visas. WASHINGTON (AP) - The Reagan administration denied visas to four top Cuban officials invited to a trade, seminar because of Cuba's military in- volvementin Africa and elsewhere, the State Department said yesterday. Coming 24 hours after one of Cuban President Fidel Castro's most striden- tly anti-American speeches in years, the decision dramatizes the ac- celerating deterioration in relations between the two countries. STATE DEPARTMENT spokesman Dean Fischer said the Immigration andi Naturalization Act permits the executive branch to deny visas to aliens on foreign policy grounds. He cited U.S. opposition to Cuban in- tervention and promotion of "armed violence in Central America, Africa and elsewhere." The Cubans invited to the seminar in- cluded Ricardo Alarcon, the vice minister of foreign relations; Marcelo Fernandez Font, a top adviser to Cuba's Central Planning Board; and Alberto Betancout Roa, Man official of the Ministry of Foreign Trade. A staff assistant also was to join the group. Sandra Levinson, an organizer of the seminar and executive director of the Center for Cuban Studies, said she was "very disappointed." Because of existing tensions, "it's more important than ever to have a dialogue."

Chairman of the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs Mort Brown said, "We desire that the ad- ministration recognize that the brunt of this shortfall will fall on the faculty." 0 Ronald Teigen, chairman of the Committee on the Economic Status of the Faculty said, "This is an inadequate program in terms of the faculty having to bear a reduction, year after year, in real income." TEIGEN SAID he was especially disappointed in the way in which the administration decided on the 5.5 per- cent figure. Teigen claimed that the administration allotted money for the rest of the University and then gave what was "left over" to faculty salary raises. "We have no leverage that we can exercise," Teigen said of faculty input in the administration's decision- making. Fusfeld also said he thought that the faculty should have some say in general University pay raises. "At no point did the faculty have any choice. "I think this is going to seriously im- pede the 'smaller but better' strategy of the University," Fusfeld continued. "At first there was talk of a 12 per- cent increase to makeup for the ground lost in previous years, but now we will have even more ground to make up for," Fusfeld added.
