Ak I Vol XCII No. 129 Copyright 1982, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan-Tuesday, March 16, 1982 Ten Cents Ten Pages Faculty poll rejects unionization Senate Assembly criticizes hazing policy By BETH ALLEN The faculty Senate Assembly yester- day strongly criticized a proposed University policy on campus hazings as too vague and effectively asked that it be sent back to square one in its two- year-long struggle for approval. The Assembly overwhelmingly voted to approve only the first sentence of the policy, which states very generally that the University condemns campus hazings, and most members wanted the rest to be rewritten. THE PROPOSED policy has been passed from committee to committee in a long path to final approval. It has won general approval from those faculty and student groups until it came before the Assembly yesterday. All of these ° committees, including the Senate Assembly, serve only an advisory role and their votes are non-binding. Assembly members criticized the polity yesterday for what they said was its lack of a clear method of punishing students or student groups who par- ticipate in hazings, and for vagueness in the definition of what constitptes hazing. "We have to clear up some definitions," said Herbert Hildebrandt, a professor of. communications and business, and a member of the Assem- bly. "The document was kind of loose and rambling." Hildebrandt said he See SENATE, Page 7 But survey shows faculty desire for voice in salaries By LOU FINTOR University faculty are opposed to unionization and want an increased voice in determining salaries, accor- ding to this year's Committee on the Economic Status of the Faculty survey. CESF Chairman Ronald Teigan released the survey results to yester- day's Senate Assembly meeting, and said that of the 2,740 questionnaires sent to faculty members, only 905, or about 33 percent, were returned. "THERE WAS a clear indication of unhappiness with last year's (salary) programs," Teigen told the assembly. He said one, questionnaire was sent back unanswered with a note attached saying that the professor was leaving it unanswered to protest his salary. According to Teigen, the survey also categorized respondents by school or college, department, rank, salary in- crease for 1981-82, and years since the respondent had earned his or her highest degree. "There were distinct differences among schools," said Teigen. He said the business schoolfor example, "was always on one extreme, and social work on the other"-business being more content with salary programs and social work being more unhappy with last year's program. ALTHOUGH THE statistics were For the results of the CESF poll on the issues of salaries and unionization, see Page 7. compiled for the objective portion of the questionnaire, Teigen said some of the responses contained "personal com- Iments (which) attack certain people ... and I'm not sure we want to publish those." In a letter sent out with the question- naires, Teigen said "The present finan- cial situation facing The University of Michigan, especially as it has affected faculty compensation, has elicited a sharp increase in expressions of faculty concern." He said he received letters from individual faculty members and petitions from two LSA departments See FACULTY, Page 7 the 're com in g!

Senate Assembly OKs staff redefinition By LOU FINTOR The faculty Senate Assembly voted unanimously yesterday to accept a proposal which, if approved by the University Executive Officers and the Regents, will significantly alter current bylaws that define the role of University faculty. According to Edward Hayes, assistant director of personel, the proposed changes come in respon- se to complaints from various schools and colleges that present definitions are inadequate for deter- mining tenure status. "OVER THE PAST several years, a number of deans, directors, and departmental chairpersons have suggested certain changes in the definitions of instructional staff," the proposal states. "The recommended changes would clarify the tenure and non-tenure status of individuals appointed to more than one unit within the University, allow supplemental appointments for current non- teaching staff, and also would provide more flexibility in appointing individuals to 'temporary' teaching roles." The proposed changes would effect the definition of "adjunct," "clinical," and "visiting," instructional staff members. According to the draft proposal, the current definitions of "adjunct" professors include only persons whose primary employment respon- sibilities lie outside the University. The amen- dment would expand current definitions to include "persons whose primary responsibilities lie out- side the University or in another capacity within the University," and states that they may be ap- pointed on a part-time basis as "adjunct professor, associate professor, assistant professor, instructor, or lecturer." A SIMILAR expanded definition will apply to "clinical" appointments. The draft maintains that since these staff mem- bes are untenured - regardless of status or seniority - the college appointing the would not assume tenure responsibilities or obligations. The proposal's third point addreses the descrip- tiona of ""visiting" professors, which according tos the draft, are "identified primarily with another institution of higher learning and participate in the teaching function." A broader definition would also include in- dividuals "whose employment responsibilities with the University will be explicitly temporary (normally not exceeding twelve months)." This would permit appointments, on a tem- porary basis, of non-enrolled graduate students and recent graduates awaiting regular apoin- tment. It would provide units "with the oppor- tunity to temporarily supplement the instructional program through the use of 'temporary' types of employees." ,Salvadoran troops kill more than SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (UPI) Meanwl - The commander of a 1,200-man army monitorec sweep in eastern El Salvador said warned t yesterday his troops killed more than prepare f 100 rebels in the four-day operation, un- pected sI covered 17 guerrilla camps and suf- general e fered only 10 dead.

Evacuations continue in state .with more flooding predicted Expert advocates nuclear weapons freeze By KENT REDDING The time has come for the United States and the Soviet Union to "freeze" their production of nuclear armaments, said Jerome Weisner, former president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and this year's Walgreen Professor of Human Understanding at the University. "You can't go on with this arms race year after year without something going wrong," said Weisner, who ser- ved as a science and technology advisor to presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson, and who helped draft U.S. policy during the negotiations of the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963. AS WEISNER spoke last night at Angell Hall, the Ypsilanti City Council approved a resolution calling for just such a freeze on the nuclear weapons buildup. Weisner's speech and the council's resolution last night are just the most recent developments in a nationwide movement to pressure the Reagan administration to negotiate an See EXPERTS, Page 3 By United Press International A rapid thaw combined with some light rain over the weekend flooded many areas of Ann Arbor and southeastern Michigan, including a 12- mile stretch of U.S. 23 near Milan. The River Raisin continued to spill over its banks yesterday, sparking the evacuations of at least 1,000 residents in Monroe County and prompting fears of greater flooding because of predicted rain. Some 148 elderly people were evacuated from a flooded high-rise senior citizen center on the banks of the river in Monroe and at least 900 people-more than a third of the population-were forced from their homes in the small farm town of Dun- dee. GOV. WILLIAM Milliken's office said there were no immediate plans to send the National Guard to Monroe County because "they have things under con- trol as far as people problems." The National Weather Service predicted at least a quarter-inch of rain over much of southern Michigan late Monday. And more rain was expected today and tomorrow. Elsewhere; floodwaters in the Lan- sing area appeared to be subsiding but officials kept a close eye on potential rain storms expected by nightfall. Residents in some areas near the Red Cedar River were notified, however, to take precautions in the event of some flooding. POLICE REPORTED that several highways across southern Michigan were closed to the flood waters, which had risen as high as seven feet on U.S. 23. During the weekend at least one death was blamed on the flooding. A man whose canoe overturned Saturday on swollen Hayworth Creek in Clinton County was missing and presumed drowned.

The two swabbies are Beluga whales. Their mission: to trainas deep-water retrievers with the Navy's Oceans Systems Center at the Navy's Canadian test range at Nanoose, B.C. Dick Meyer, spokesman for the Naval Un- dersea Warfare Engineering Station, said the whales made dives of over 1,000 feet wearing special harnesses that would enable them to pick up tornedoes or other machinery ct Martian volcano with a view of the Martian landscape and the planet's twin moons, Phobos and Deimos. "You'll have the first opportunity to explore unoccupied neigh- borhoods," said planetarium director David Aguilar. "And we guarantee there will be no hostile reprisals from the natives-there aren't any." The "land sale" is a fun- draising project in which buyers will be donating to an as yet undetermined special project, Aguilar said. Buyers of Martian land plots will get a deed, a topographical map showing the exact site of the plot, and an insurance package which covers everything but deep space walks and volcanic in favor of establishing an independent student gover- nment.
