City board split on salary. increase decision By RACHEL GOTTLIEB The Ann Arbor City Compensation Board split by a vote of 3-3 yesterday on whether to raise the salaries of the mayor and the city council members. It was the second time in three weeks that the board met and was unable to reach a decision on the issue. LIKE THE tie vote three weeksago, yesterday's deadlock might have been broken if the seventh board member, Ted Heusel, had been present. When contacted yesterday, Heusel said he thought the meeting was scheduled for tomorrow night. He said, however, that he did not know how he would have voted on the salary increase. If passed, the proposal would raise the mayor's salary form $10,750 to $15,750, while councilmembers would received a $1,500 increase, from $5,500 to $7,000. The board which sets the salaries of the mayor and council every 2 years will meet again to discuss the proposal on Oct. 29. ROGER Bertoi, chairman of the board, voted against the raise. "I don't think the issues have changed much. As the city has grown, so has the bureaucratic structure," Bertoi said. The councilmembers are putting in the same number of hours they did 20 years ago." HE ALSO attacked the nature of the board, saying, "I don't like this com- mission. I think its a smoke screen for elected officials to hide behind. They should set their own salaries.'' Board member Jack Garris voted in favor of the raise. "The Councilmembers are not figureheads - they really do their jobs," Garris said. "By an increase, we're trying to pay the people for The Michigan Daily - Wednesday October 9, 1985 - Page 3 their time."

Ex-SLS head urges students to fight code (Continued from Page 1) OPPONENTS of the code, however, lhave attacked it as vague, uncon- stitutional, and beyond the authority of the University to enforce. Rose, who has been active in anti- code activity for several years, told USA last night that the code's primary purpose is to "stifle disobedience and increase admin- * strative control over students." He listed several specific problems; with the current code including what he sees as limited rights of counsel for defendants, selective prosecution which works in favor of the Univer- sity, and a lack of subpoena power which prevents the University from forcing witnesses to testify. IN ADDITION, Rose said, the ad- ministration's code contains "terrible" punishments for crimes in some cases." "It's a kangaroo court and it won't work," Rose said. "It defects are fatal." He gave five ways in which the existing state and local legal system can address the crimes that a code would attempt to cover - issuing of injunctions, evictions from on and off- campus housing, filing of civil and criminal suits by the University against suspects, and commitment of unbalanced suspects to mental hospitals. Rose then recited a list of "manipulative devices" he says the University administration uses to win support for the code. The primary devices for University coercion in- clude, he said, using the already ex- pressed support of groups within the University to win over other groups, trying to negotiate with weak student leaders, and waiting until student resistance melts away before attem- pting to enforce a code. Rose urged MSA to actively resist the code, and said it "should be resisted by all students with every energy." LANSING, Mich. (UPI) - Retired Public employees yesterday said' legislation to phase out nearly $3' billion in pension fund investments in -firms operating in South Africa puts the burden of that country's social ills on their shoulders. However, backers of the bills challenged the Legislature to become involved in a worldwide movement to end South Africa's system of racial division.1 "This fund, we would like to em- phasize, belongs to the members," said Dorothy Eubank, representing the Michigan Association of Retired School Personnel. She said the bills would be "placing a tremendous bur-, den" on retired teachers. "Why should we be singled out to help South Africa in this fashion?" she asked. However, Rep. Perry Bullard, the Ann Arbor Democrat sponsoring one, of the bills, said retirees would "ab-; solutely not" lose money from the divestment. He said no other pension which has divested has lost money. The comments came at a public hearing of the House Civil Rights Committee, which is considering two bills to force the State Employees Retirement System, the Public School Employees' Retirement System and the Legislative Retirement System to sell within five years stock in com- panies doing business in South Africa. Rep. Virgil Smith, (D-Detroit) the other sponsor, said South Africa's blacks are forced to work for "slave wages" and are without any form of participation in the South African system. The Rev. Robert Eckert of the Mount Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church in Battle Creek told the panel his father, a black South African, still makes only $1,200 a year after 40 years of work.

(Continued from Page 1) that the University had acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner because it failed to follow its usual practice of allowing students to retake the examination. Upon Ewing's victory, the Univer- sity took the case to the Supreme Court. The University legal brief, states that in its decision, the appeals court assumes that the University violated Ewing's constitutional right to due process by failing to follow its own rule of allowing students to retake the test. The brief also states that the appeals court's decision con- tradicts Supreme Court rulings in similar cases. According to Roderick Daane, at- torney for the Univerity, "It was a very spirited session. The justices asked many questions of both sides." The session took 60 minutes, which is the maximum amount of time alloted for each case, he said. Daane said he's "optimistic" that the court will decide in the Univer- sity's favor. A decision is expected in late January, he said. Daane said that if Ewing wins the case the decision would mark a radical departure from the judicial system's traditional tendency to avoid tampering with the autonomy of universities.
