4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, November 20, 1984 U.s ., Nicaraguan officials meet MEXICO CITY (UPI}-Diplomats from the United States and Nicaragua yesterday opened an eighth round of talks aimed at easing tensions enflamed by U.S. charges of large- scale Soviet bloc arms shipments to Managua. U.S. special envoy Harry Shlaudeman and Nicaraguan Deputy Foreign Minister Victor Hued Tinoco held the first of two days of meetings at the Pacific resort of Manzanillo, 325 miles northwest of Mexico City. A U.S. EMBASSY spokekman in Mexico City said they would discuss how to reduce tensions recently heightened when Reagan administration officials said they believed a Soviet freighter that arrived nearly two weeks ago in Nicaragua may have been carrying Soviet-made MiG-21 jet- fighters. The officials warned the administration would not tolerate introduction into the region of the sophisticated aircraft and later charged Nicaragua was stockpiling high levels of Soviet bloc arms that exceeded its defensive needs. Nicarguan Defense Minister Miguel D'Escoto has denied the freighter was carrying MiGs, but said the Sandinista government received helicopters and had the right to obtain "whatever means necessary to defend ourselves against im- perialist agression." WASHINGTON, which has supported "contra" rebels fighting to topple the Marxist government in Managua, has never produced any proof that Nicaragua received MiGs. Managua said the Reagan administration had leveled the charges as a pretext for an invasion and declared a full-scale military alert, which is still in effect. Lee Johnson, the spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City, said the Manzanillo talks "have not failed" to produce progress toward improved U.S.-Nicaraguan relations "though they are proceeding very slowly." He said U.S. officials in Manzanillo planned to warn the Nicaraguans about the dangers of buying Soviet-made MiGs and other sophisticated weapons. Jackson to visit Nicaragua DALLAS (AP) - The Rev. Jesse Jackson says he is planning to travel to Nicaragua next month at the in- vitation of President Daniel Ortega in hopes of convincing the Reagan ad- ministration "to turn its attention to peace rather than to war." During a news conference following an ap- pearance at a local church Sunday, Jackson also said he intends to urge the Central American country's leftist Sandinista government "to assume a strong posture for peace." Jackson said he was invited to organize the mission by Ortega.

Public institutions could have a more difficult time generating private funds, Cross said, because many of the organizations that support universities "discriminate against public in- stitutions because they have their own funding sources (the state), but private schools don't. In this day and age that makes a difference." Many believe the University could become a successful fundraiser if it ex- ploits its large pool of alumni - more alumni than any other school in the country. WHILE THE CESF report pointed out the growing disparity between the ehind in faculty salary levels University and its private peers, the difference hasn't caused a problem of epidemic proportions yet, some faculty members said. Mathematics Prof. Wilfred Kaplan, president of the University chapter of the American Association of University Professors, said the problem is significant, but hasn't caused a mass migration of faculty out of the University. "It's important to have certain stan- dards, but keeping up with Berkeley or Harvard is not a number one priority," Kaplan said. "People are not going around making salary comparisons all the time." "ONCE (faculty) are here, they tend not to leave for small differences, unless they get a tremendous offer," he said. But in order to lure qualified faculty, the University has to make its starting salaries competitive with other schools at the expense of not increasing the salaries of current faculty. "We've paid whatever we have to to get new faculty," said Jack Walker, associate dean for academic appoin- tments in LSA. "The salary differences between new and old faculty will even- tually cause ill will." "WE'RE BUILDING a problem that could hurt in the long run. It can't go on forever. We need some relief," Walker said.

"Everybody is under pressure to pay market value," Whitaker said. "This creates compression of salaries bet- ween the new people and the people who've been here for a while." WALKER SAID that right now the University has been able to keep many faculty from accepting higher paying offers at other schools because of other benefits such as atmosphere and quality of the student body. But schools like the College of Engineering have had problems attrac- ting faculty. "Three years ago, this was a terrible problem," said associate engineering dean Charles Vest. "At the present time, I consider us to be competitive." Though the college has become more successful at attracting junior faculty, salary levels for senior faculty are still low, Vest said. Faculty average 5.3 percent increase (Continued from Page 1) Averaging only a 5.5 percent increase over last year, the six vice presidents didn't fare quite as well as Shapiro. Last year, they received an average in- crease of 10 percent. Vice President for Develop- ment and University Relations, Jon Cosovich came closest to Shapiro's salary, collecting $99,750, just short of the elusive six-figure crowd. Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Billy Frye upped his paycheck from $88,500 to $95,000, a 7.3 percent gain, placing him third among the executive officers. The lowest paid vice president again this year was Vice President for Student Services, Henry Johnson, who received a $3,000 raise bringing his an- nual salary to $63,000. Of the "over $100,000 club," 29 of the 32 posts related to the University's medical school. The exceptions are Shapiro; law school Dean Terrence Sandalow; who was boosted into six figures with an eight percent raise to $105,952; and dental school Dean Richard Christiansen, who earns $100,170. The second highest paid University employee is Prof. Paul Lichter, chair- man of the opthamology department, who earns $136,196. Running a close third is Chairman of Surgery Jeremiah Turcotte, drawing a salary of $133,226. There are no women among the six- figure earners at the University. The University's deans averaged a five percent increase in overall salaries this year, with two (Sandalow and Christiansen) reaching over the $100,000 mark. The lowest paid dean is newly hired art Dean Wendell Heers, who earns $49,980. For the second year in a row, the dean who received the greatest salary increase was the engineering school's James Duderstadt, who got an 18 per- cent raise, giving him a salary of $90,000. Duderstadt received a 12 per- cent increase last year. LSA Dean Peter Steiner picked up an eight percent hike, putting him at $92,753, third among deans. The average salary for University deans is about $78,000. Faculty salaries increased this year about 5.3 percent, according to Robert Sauve, assistant to Vice President Frye. Sauve said the figure was in the ballpark, with the actual figure "varying from unit to unit." Despite a disappointing season, Michigan football coach Bo Schem- bechler's salary was upped to $96,030, $6,000 more than last year. His colleague, Athletic Director Don Accident in N.C. kills three CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.-Fire broke out aboard a military helicopter as if lif- ted a heavy piece of artillery during a training mission yesterday, killing three people and injuring at least 12 others, officials said. Capt. Norma Stewart of New River Air Station estimated that 20 to 25 people were aboard the $22 million CH-53E helicopter, the Marines' newest and largest, which can carry 55 troops or 32,200 pounds. Rescuers were combing the area in search of other victims, said Stewart. The helicopter was lifting a 155 mm howitzer when the craft caught fire, said Capt. Craig Fisher of Camp Lejeune's public affiars office, but he said he did not know if the copter had crashed or landed normally. Anthony Rothfork, spokesman for the Marine Corps in Washington, D.C., said the helicopter did crash, but Lance Cpl. Greg Fedorev of New River Air Station just south of Camp Lejeune, where the craft was based, said he could not confirm that report. Australians blame homosexuals for blood bank contamination SYDNEY, Australia. - Homosexuals blamed by angry Australians for the AIDS contamination of the nation's only blood bank are being threatened with dismissal from their jobs and violently beaten, officials said yesterday, Thirteen of the 18 people who received transfusions of blood contaminated with the deadly Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome virus have died, in- cluding two babies, officials said. The crisis erupted last week when health offials discovered the nation's only blood bank was contaiminated with AIDS, which destroys the body's; immune system and is almost always fatal. Medical experts suspect AIDS is transferred through blood products. A majority of the cases have been found in homosexuals. Hemophiliacs also are a high-risk group. Terrorist kills Turkish official VIENNA-A suspected Armenian terrorist bent on avenging a 1915 massacre of his countrymen shot and killed a Turkist U.N. official yesterday as the diplomat stopped his red Mercedes at a busy intersections on his way to work. A white scarf bearing the words "Armenian Revolutionary Army ARA" was found next to the body of the slain diplomat, Evrin Erguw. The killing was the second assassination of a Turkish official in Vienna in six months. Witnesses said a dark-haired, moustached man in blue jeans and a denim jacket ran up to Ergun's red Mercedes and pumped six shots through the driver's window. Ergun, 52, deputy directory of the Vienna-based United Nations Center fo'r. Social Development and Humanitarian Affairs, died instantly from a 9 mm bullet wound to the head, police said. Bombs damage abortion clinic WHEATON, Md-Twin bomb blasts yesterday damaged a Planned Parenthood office and an abortion clinic that was the scene of a weekend demonstration in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. There were no injuries and no arrests. "This is obviously an act of terrorism," said Gail Frances, owner of the; Metro Medical and Women's Center. "We won't close." The explosions, reported only minutes apart at about 6:15 a.m., blew out: the rear of the abortion clinic and seriously damaged Planned Parenthood's tiny office at the Randolph Medical Building in nearby Rockville. Clinic administrator Penny Smith said the office is sometimes guarded at night, and added: "Thank God no one was in there. There's always some ex-: tremist who calls himself pro-life." Consumer &spend : ingdopslgty WASHINGTON-Americans' personal income rose 0.6 percent in October. but consumer spending slipped 0.1 percent, the government said yester- day-the first drop since last February and a further indication of a: slowdown in economic growth. While one private economist said the downturn was just the "lull before the holiday buying season," others predicted that economic growth is likely: to remain stagnant for some months to come. The Commerce Department report said personal consumption spending,: which includes virtually everything except interest payments on debt, drop-, ped 0.1 percent in October. It was the first decline since a 0.9-percent setback in February. It followed a revised 1.7-percent spending increase in September. The in-: crease, which was originally reported at 1.4 percent, had raised hopes that: consumer spending, which has been one of the key forces driving the' recovery, was taking off again after a weak summer. The October decline reinforced the view that consumer spending is likely: to be flat in coming months, throwing into doubt how good a Christmas: season retailers will have. t: I I Io ~be Sicbt-3an ?BatIV 41 [' i r._ Vol. XCV -No. 65 The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967 X) is published Tuesday through Sunday during the Fall and Winter terms and Tuesday through Saturday during the Spring and Summer terms by students at the University of Michigan.
