XCIII, No. 119 Copyright 1983, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan - Friday, March 4, 1983 Ten Cents Ten Pages Score: Hal 86,.Bo 85 : , .. By CARL WEISER The University's president still m~akes more money than the football caah, but another official has slipped in as the highest paid administrator in this year's faculty and staff salary race. President Harold Shapiro is making $86,877, just $1,800 more than Coach Bo Schembechler ($85,030). Schem- bechler's salary skyrocketed 40 percent over his $60,000 salary last year, largely For a complete listing of faculty and staff salaries see page 11. 1 due to the threat that he would take a coaching job at high-spending Texas A&M University in January, 1982. The southern school reportedly had offered him a package worth more than $225,000 per year. SHAPIRO AND the other University But med prof tops all- with $130,000 executive officers - the six vice presidents - all received a three per- cent salary hike in January, along with the rest of the non-faculty staff of the University. The University's newest executive of- ficer, Vice President for University Relations and Development Jon Cosovich, makes $90,000 per year, to put him at the top of the central ad- ministration's pay ladder. Shapiro said the new vice president's high salary is due to pressures from other univer- sities. "We must remain competitive if we want to attract and keep top-caliber executives," Shapiro said. Salary hikes for University deans ranged as high as 15 percent this year. The medical school's acting dean, Peter Ward, tops all the school and college chiefs at $96,120. Law School Dean Terrence Sandalow received the 15 percent pay boost to $87,430. THE DEANS of the Schools of Art and Education - two of three schools slated for major budget cuts - received the lowest pay increases this year. Art Dean George Bayliss received a 4.4 percent raise to $50,217 making him the lowest paid dean. Education Dean Joan Stark gets $61,528, placing her 13th out of the 17 deans. James Crowfoot was recently named dean of the School of Natural Resour- ces, which is the other school under review for major budget cuts. His salary as dean was unavailable, but as a professor, Crowfoot made $32,700. Critics of the University ad- ministration ,often say that the executive officers are paid too much and that they should make personal sacrifices during the University's present budget crunch. ADMINISTRATORS polled this week gave the idea of pay cuts for themselves mixed review. "Sure I'd consider it," said Richard Kennedy, vice president for state relations, who is the second lowest paid executive at $58,890. Vice President for Student Services Henry Johnson, who at $55,960 is the lowest paid executive, concurred with Kennedy, "but the president would have to ask me." PRESIDENT SHAPIRO said that he has considered the idea, "But in the long run, that would be detrimental to the University." He said the gesture might have some "momentary sym- bolism," but added, "We cannot attract top-caliber administrators who think See SALARIES, Page 2 Photo by DEBORAH LEWIS Billy Frye, vice president for academic affairs and provost says he is "per- sonally offended" by the suggestion that adminstrators be singled out for pay cuts. Research' key to y~ . faculty pay By LISA CRUMRINE "Publish or perish" has long been the motto of the academics world, and professors say the maxim is nowhere so true as with faculty pay increases. Research is considered the most important factor in determining faculty salaries, followed by teaching quality, University service, and work with graduate students. These are the main ingredients in the magic formula used to calculate pay raises under the Univer- sity's merit-based salary program. WHILE EMPHASIZING faculty achievement, the merit system downplays seniority and administrative positions within a department or school. The merit-based system allows the University to justify - giving large pay increases to faculty members who excel in their field, thus keeping the University competitive with peer schools in the quest for top professors. In order to maintain a top quality institution, many deans and professors say the University must reward faculty members who help achieve that quality. "OUR WAY OF recruiting faculty depends on See RESEARCH, Page 3 Art school dean vows to fight cuts By GLEN YOUNG School of Art students and fac- ulty have decided they are not going to take the recommendation for a 25 percent budget cut lying down. At least that was the mood conveyed at yesterday's mass meeting of the group at the Chrysler Center on North Campus. MORE THAN 300 people filled the building's auditorium to discuss the proposed $350,000 cut in the school's $1.5 million budget.

THE committee's recommendation also suggested the school cut it's un- dergraduate enrollment from the current 571 students to about 300 students, cut the number of faculty from 37 to 22, and move to enroll more non-art majors in the school's classes. "They want to cut our budget by 25 percent and cut our faculty by nearly 40 percent. Now any rational person looking at this would see their calculations have a large margin or error," said School of Art Dean George Bayliss. He said the school would willingly See ART, Page 3 I Meeting for pot law draws token response By HALLE CZECHOWSKI As the battle heats up over Ann Ar- bor's $5 pot law, groups favoring the law are having a hard time mobilizing students against repeal efforts. A mass meeting last night of the Committee Against Recriminalization drew only 10 supporters to the Michigan Union's Pendleton Room. COMMITTEE COORDINATOR Scott Prosterman said he was disappointed with the low turnout, "but I think it gives us a good nucleus to work with." Ann Arbor voters will decide April 4 whether or not they want the law changed: repeal of the ordinance will be proposed on this year's city election ballot. Prosterman said he was not worried that the poor attendance indicated a lack of interest on the part of students. "And I think there is a sufficient basis in the Progressive Student Network (a student activist group) to put on an ef- fective campaign." THE COMMITTEE decided it was too late to start a successful voter registration drive, as citizens must register by March 7 to be eligible to vote. Prosterman added that much of the committee consists of people already active in a campaign to force weatherization of Ann Arbor housing. The combined efforts of both groups have registered nearly 1,000 students, according to one voter registrar. Prosterman said the committee will direct most of its efforts toward fun- draising. They will be asking for direct donations and selling buttons which read, "$5 is FINE with me." "(The buttons) are a real hot item, especially with people out of Ann Arbor - people in Detroit," said Prosterman. The committee also hopes for a good crowd - preferably a button-wearing crowd - at this year's April 1 Hash Bash. But the group will encourage people not to smoke at the annual event. THE HASH Bash "is just bait for the other side," Prosterman said. "The fact that the Hash Bash is three days before the elections is an unfortunate coincidence." Prosterman said the committee is concerned that it won't be able to motivate students against repeal until it's too late. "Once the law is repealed, and (a new law) is arbitrarily enforced, the people will get excited. We need to get them excited now," said Proster- man.

It contains 75 squirts of a pungent pine-smelling spray. Although the spray is non-flammable, it does irritate the eyes.
