Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, October 21, 1983 Faculty urge salary By SHARON SILBAR The University's top faculty committee urged the University's regents to place faculty salaries as a high priority - "perhaps second after fixed costs" - when they made their annual salary request at the regent's monthly meeting yesterday. "Faculty overall, have demonstrated forebearance as the University has undergone serious fiscal trials during the past several years," said Cheryl Easley, a nursing professor and member of the Senate Ad- visory Committee on University Affairs (SACUA). "It is however, discouraging to perceive faculty compensation to be a residual item of budget plan- ning," she added. 'Perhaps second after fixed costs' THIS YEAR, faculty salaries rose an average of about 5 percent - a figure higher than the inflation rate but not enough to make up for deficiencies in previous years, faculty members say. A report released earlier this week from a SACUA subcommittee said that University faculty members only make 93 percent of what professors do at peer institutions - both public and private. "The implications of these trends for faculty as priority quality and morale are, we believe, quite serious," the report concluded. Easley also requested administrative attention to the problem of eroding fringe benefits. Although in th past, fringe benefits have compared favorably to other institutions. Easly said those benefits hav decreased significantly in the past few years, and they no longer make up for comparatively small salary increases. Regent Thomas Roach (D-Saline) acknowledged SACUA's request, but said they could not be oblivious to the obvious attempts made by Billy Frye, vice president for academic affairs and provost, in the, area of faculty salaries. Haig sets policy priorities (Continued from Page21) ameliorate those problems and see that their resolution ends up in our favor. The former NATO leader and advisor to six American presidents said this country must follow a foreign policy based on human rights and "the critical "aspects of a democratic dream." Haig will lead three seminars for small groups of students tomorrow, and he and his wife Patricia will have din- ner at the home of University President Harold Shapiro. The Haigs will end their stay in Ann Arbor Saturday with the Michigan- Iowa football game, which Haig said the Wolverines should be able to win "if they sharpen up that secondary." LSA Dean Peter Steiner, who in- troduced Haig as "someone of general interest," said former Attorney General Ramsey Clark will be the next speaker in the 'Warner-Lambert lec- ture series. He is scheduled to speak this spring. Protesters die' for Haig (Continued from Page 1) yesterday afternoon. Prior to last night's speech, members of the Progressive Student Network, a radical anti-defense group, staged a "die-in" on the steps of Rackham, par- tially obstructing the entrance to the building.

The large majority of students came to listen ... and they were angered (by the disrup- tion)." NOT EVERYONE in attendance op- posed Haig's presence on campus. At one point, a woman got up and told the audience, "Let the man speak. Save your childish taunts for the playground." Others joined her, telling the protesters to "shut-up" and "go to Russia." About 200 people, anticipating Haig's departure, gathered in the basement of Rackham. Haig supporters yelled back at anti-Haig people during the wait but both groups of people were outsmarted when Haig used a different route to get out of the building. Students and staff members who could not get into the speech sat on the floor of the lobby and pounded on the doors of the auditorium to be let in. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Iran's forces seize Iraqi land NICOSIA, Cyprus - Iranian forces struck Iraqi artillery positions in Kurd- istan early yesterday and pushed across the border in a major new offen sive. Iranian news media said the troops captured 40 square miles of enemy: territory and a series of strategic heights, but Baghdad radio said the offen- sive had been "contained and repulsed, with the enemy forced to flee leaving behind the bodies of dead soldiers littering the battleground." Iraq said the campaign was "completely foiled after most of the attacking force was wiped out," and promised retaliatory strikes of "immense- strength." The claims and counter-claim could not be confirmed because foreig; reporters are banned from the front. Iran's official Islamic Republic News Agency said more than 2,000 Iraqi troops were killed or wounded in the first four hours of the battle. IRNA said Iranian forces also captured scores of Iraqis and Kurdish rebels supported by Iraq Economy zips past predictions WASHINGTON - Government figures indicated yesterday the economy grew at a brisk 7.9 percent annual rate in the third quarter, retaining more of the previous quarter's zip than most analysts envisioned. President Reagan's spokesman said "The economy has moved out of the recovery phase and into expansion." The Commerce Department, in its preliminary estimate for the July- September quarter, said growth came from the rebuilding of inventories by businesses and from all categories of final sales except foreign trade. Secretary Malcolm Baldrige said "we are seeing a normal, healthy recovery" that is in no apparent danger of stalling or heating up inflation. At the White House, spokesman Larry Speakes was even more upbeat, saying the third-quarter figure "surpasses the peak quarter of production before the recession. We have made up for what we lost, and reached a new high in national economic output." Army orders curfew in Grenada BRIDGETOWN, Barbados - Scattered gunfire broke out in Grenada yes- terday, a day after the army killed Prime Minister Maurice Bishop and top leaders of his faction in a power struggle that ruptured the Marxist ruling: party. The army placed the island under 24-hour curfew and warned that violators would be shot on sight. In Washington, White House spokesman Larry Speakes said the turmoil on the Caribbean island - where there are some 1,000 Americans, many of them medical students - "has raised our concerns to the highest level." State Department Officials, who spoke on condition they not be identified, said "there are suspicions" but no evidence that Cuba mighthave played a role in the upheaval. The gunfire crackled in the early morning, said sources in Grenada's capital of St. Georges, but no one ventured outdoors because the army led by Gen. HudsonAustin threatened to shoot anyone judged to be disturbing the peace. McDonald's seeks liquor license LOS ANGELES - The McDonald's Corp., the nation's fast-food giant, has applied for a license to sell wine and beer at one of its California stores, the first attempt in. the United States to put booze under the Golden Arches, company officials said yesterday. Spokesman Steve Leroy, from McDonald's headquarters in Oak Brook, Ill., said the owner of the store in the Sierra resort community of Mammoth applied earlier this month for a beear and wine license from the state. Alcohol Control Board. "Basically, the application was made in Mammoth because of the unique demographics in the area," Leroy said. "It's an adult recreation location and a large number of tourists are in the area."' But Leroy said there are no implications at this time" that the same ser- vice might be offered at the chain's other 6,000 restaurants nationwide. "There is no similar service in the McDonald's in the United States, but outside the U.S. we hve served both beer and wine in our restaurants in Germany and France since we began operations in those countries." Company documents disclose GM warned of faulty brakes WASHINGTON - General Motors Corp. test drivers and internal company documents repeatedly warned of brake locking problems on 1980 X-body automobiles before the cars went into general production, according to GM files made public yesterday. The papers showed key GM executives were warned of the seriousness of the problem just before production at a Dec. 10, 1978, meeting in Phoenix, Ariz., that included GM President F.M. "Pete" Estes. The documents were ordered unsealed by U.S. District Judge Thomas Jackson, who is hearing a suit brought by the Justice Department, seeking a recall of 1.1 million X-body cars. The department also is asking that GM be ordered to pay $4 million in damages, alleging the manufacturer failed to act on the braking problem and later withheld informaton from federal officials. Among the documents released were test-driver logs from 1978 that show drivers in at least 35 cases complained of brakes locking and causing control problems. GM has denied the allegations, saying the company did not know about the X-body brake problem before production. GM has said it will vigorously defend itself against the suit.
