Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, September 22, 1983 Regent defends Shapiro's salary IN BRIEF By SHARON SILBAR Because many University officials could command higher salaries in the private sector, Regent Deane Baker said he believes President Harold Shapiro's recent raise of almost $10,000 is justified. But Baker also said he would have been a little less generous than his fellow regents were. "PERSONALLY I would tend to be less generous in salaries for administrators and deans," Baker said at yesterday's Campus Meet the Press in the Michigan Union Kuenzel Room. Stanley H. Kaplan The Smart MOVE! c p 8 O Baker cited Vice President and Chi Financial Officer James Brinkerhoff an example of the worth of Universit administrators. "(Brinkerhoff) refus a six figure salary (from a priva firm) a few years ago, and he has say literally tens of millins of dollars at t University," he said. On the subject of the state's ne commission on higher education whi met for the first time Monday night Lansing, Baker said, "one of the be things that could happen is that tho leave (the University) alone." THE COMMISSION will be studyir teaching, research, and public servi at state universities for the next ye and will make its recommendations Gov. James Blanchard. Baker, the lone republican of t eight regents and one of two who vot4 against the recent tuition hike of9 percent, said tuition shouldn't go any higher, but that the blame for the in- crease falls on the shoulders of the state legislators. "We have not been funded adequately. Over a ten year period, tuition hays more than doubled, and state support has decreased significan- tly," he said. THE JUDGMENTS made for the finan- cing of higher education are made in the legislature," Baker said. He added that any solution the commission comes up with that does not recognize the power of the legislature won't work. A strong supporter of Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Billy Frye, whom he labeled "a man of ab- solute integrity," Baker said that although the much criticized budgetary review process is "laborious, it's a fair process. Baker also defended his vote against University guidelines for unclassified research at the June regent's meeting. Recent improvements in the state's economy, Baker said, will work to the University's advantage. "In my view, there will be substan- tially more money for higher education in the coming years. There will be less pressure on tuition, and I see some fur- ther easing for adjustments to salaries," he predicted. Judge calls PRESENTS :?7 Y PREPARATION FOR: GMAT. LSAT.

INITIALLY, the school board asked teachers to give up MESSA for a com- parable, less expensive plan or pay the difference between the two. With the insurance issue temporarily decided, salary remains the major ob- stacle to a settlement. Teachers are asking for a four per- cent wage hike while the school board is officially offering a 1.5 percent in- crease. BUT THE board is likely to make a final offer of 2.5 percent because teachers accepted the insurance proposal, assistant school superinten- dent Robert Moseley said. "Progress is entirely up to (the teachers)," Moseley said, "because I think the board is serious in saying (a 2.5 percent raise) is their final offer." Union members earlier said the board can support a 2.5 percent wage raise by dipping into its $2 million equity fund. BOARD members, however, say depleting surplus funds would be unreasonable because revenues in- creased by only four-tenths of a eprcent this year. Last year teachers received an eight percent wage increase. Judge Campbell's strong words urging both sides to reach a settlement will probably accelerate talks, Moseley said. If a settlement is not reached by Friday, Judge Campbell will supervise the negotiations, Brownlee said. Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Accused rapist pleads insanity AKRON, Ohio - The jury deciding whether to convict a medical doctor of 21 rapes and 39 other criminal charges deliberated for more than six hours yesterday without reaching a verdict. Dr. Edward Jackson, of Columbus, Ohio, an internist and father of two teenage daughters has pleaded innocent by reason of insanity to the charges. However, his attorney, John Bowen, announced at the start of the trial, "We acknowledge that Dr. Jackson committed the acts with which he is charged." The seven-man, five-woman jury, which received the case late Tuesday after a 21-day trial, was scheduled to resume its deliberations today. If convicted, the 39-year-old doctor faces up to 1,378 years in prison. An in- sanity decision would mean his probable confinement to an institution for the criminally insane. Israel designates new preniner JERUSALEM - Yitzhak Shamir was chosen yesterday to form Israel's next government, virtually assuring the continuation of Prime Minister Menachem Begin's hardline leadership. President Chaim Herzog designated Shamir as premier and said he had found a widespread interest in Parliament and the public for a joint effort by Labor and Shamir's Likud bloc to heal the economy and extricate the Israeli army from Lebanon. Shamir has the support of all six parties in Begin's coalition, ensuring him of up to 64 of the 120 votes in Parliament. Responding to demands from several coalition parliamentarians for a national unity government made up of all major Knesset factions, Shamir invited the opposition Labor Party to join his new government. The idea, however, was quickly rejected by Labor leader Shimon Peres, who said he would not join a national coalition unless Begin's policies were changed. "Our way differs from theirs," Peres said, while agreeing to meet Shamir for talks. Court orders aid for dying girl KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - A state appeals court ordered immediate medical treatment yesterday for a preacher's 12-year-old daughter who suffers from deadly bone cancer, despite her father's claim that the family's religion for- bids use of medicine. For two months, Larry Hamilton has fought treatment of the football-sized Ewing's sarcoma tumor that has destroyed much of his daughter Pamela's upper left leg bone. Without chemotherapy and radiation treatments, doctors say the 86-pound girl will die within nine months. Even with immediate treatment, ier chance of survival is less than 50-50. In a seven-page opinion, three Tennessee Court of Appeals judges unanimously upheld a juvenile court's decision to declare Pamela a neglec- ted child, award temporary custody to the state and order treatment. "While the prognosis with treatment in Pamela's case is guarded, the con- sequences of no treatment is certain, painful death," the judges said. The decision was immediately appealed to the state Supreme Court. GM - Toyota to rehire workers DETROIT - The United Auto Workers and the General Motors Corp. - Toyota joint venture have reached a working agreement calling for former. GM workers to be hired at the Fremont, Calif. production site, union sources said yesterday. The union called a news conference for today, presumably to announce the deal. Former Labor Secretary William J. Usery, hired by the joint venture to negotiate with the union, also planned a news conference in Washington. A GM spokesman declined comment, saying, "We don't know anything about it." The agreement calls for the work force at the plant to be made up of for- mer Fremont workers who held jobs there before GM closed the plant last year. It also reportedly deals with seniority rights for those laid-off workers. The Japanese automaker drew fire from the union earlier this year when it said it wanted to have "a free hand" in hiring and would not give preference to former GM workers. Slowed economy grows steadily WASHINGTON - The government estimated yesterday that the economy is growing at a strong 7 percent annual rate in the third quarter, a slowdown from what analysts say was an unsustainable burst of business ac- tivity in the spring. "We want solid and steady economic expansion," said Treasure Secretary Donald T. Regan, "and we are getting it." The Commerce Department said in its preliminary "flash" estimate for the still-unfinished July-September quarter that the growth will come from the building of inventories by business firms and from final sales, which covers all buying by consumers and business. It said the GNP, the total value of goods and services, expanded at an an- nual rate of 9.7 percent in the April-June period rather than the 9.2 percent estimated last month, the 8.7 estimated in July and the 6.6 predicted in its June "flash." Commerce Secretary Malcom Baldridge said with the additional, though slower, growth predicted in the GNP this quarter, the value of the nation's output will be at an all-time high. The expansion since the recovery started late last year has more than made up for the drop of 1981-1982 recession and put the GNP 1.7 percent above the previous peak reached in the third quarter of 1981.
