Compared to private universities, their salaries are also 7 percent lower. These salaries were almost equal ten years ago. At public universities, faculty salaries are 2 percent higher; they were 8 percent higher ten years ago. The survey also showed that when compared to both private and public universities, University pro- fessors salaries were lower than associate and assistant professors. Eugene Feingold, chair of CESF, said the salary gap for professors should be corrected or there will be "long-run morale effects."

Forty-three percent of the in- structional faculty said that their compensation is less than fair, given their overall contribution to the University. Forty-one percent of the research faculty and 60 percent of librarians similarly responded. Thirty-four percent of the faculty felt that, compared to other uni- versities, they are getting similar salaries. But 48 percent said they are receiving somewhat lower or much lower salaries. Although the majority of the faculty said they have never or seldom considered leaving the University for salary reasons, almost 20 percent said they often or very often considered leaving. Twenty percent of the faculty and 68 percent of librarians said they would not have taken a position with the University if they had known in advance how little their salaries would increase. Feingold said the University's schools and colleges suffer because it does not receive enough money from the state. Dean of the School of Pharmacy Ara Paul said faculty discontent may be caused by faculty com- paring salaries to the private sector. "The competition with the private sector is a crisis facing education," Paul said. The University cannot offer comparable salaries, Paul said. But June Osborn, dean of the School of Public Health, said the University does offer desirable salaries to attract faculty members. It becomes difficult to retain faculty once they are hired because other institutions offer try to lure them away, Osborn said. Harris McClamroch, chair of SACUA, said more research should be done to interpret the data. He said he expects that CESF will continue to evaluate it. More data might influence salary decisions by the executive officers, he said. Pessimism may aid student grades (Continued from Pagel1) They tested students on an- ograms and puzzles, telling one half of each group that successful students usually do well in the tests given. Results showed no difference in performance between optomists who were encouraged and those who were not. But pessimists who were given encouragement scored lower than everyone else tested. According to Norem, "People who have a lot of anxiety about performance use the 'worse case analysis,' in which they control anxiety by lowering expectancies and end up doing well." Defensive pessimists, the study said, work hard to achieve success. "I don't believe people when they say they won't do well and then pull an 'A.' I think their just looking for attention," said Stacey Schiff, an LSA senior.

These find- ings "raise questions about whether we should encourage defensive pessimists or just listen to them and let them play it out," Norem said. Lesley Kelman, an LSA senior, is a self-described defensive pes- simist: "I think it puts pressure on me to study," she said. She added that she does not want anyone else to reassure her; in fact, "it gets me mad." Imagine summer '87 by our pool!

Schultz left foreign ministers from nine North Atlantic Treaty Organization countries behind in Brussels to ponder whether the Soviet proposal should be accepted. It would mean the elimination of about 50 shorter-range Soviet nuclear missiles in East Germany and Czechoslovakia, and could also involve the dismantling of about 85 other Scaleboard and Spider missiles in the Soviet Union. U.S. expected to enact steep tariffs on Japanese imports NEW YORK - The United States is expected to slap steep tariffs on a grab bag of Japanese imports today as part of what international business executives call the most serious trade conflict between the4 economic powers since Japan's postwar reconstruction. Nevertheless, the executives said prospects remain remote for the sanctions escalating into a trade war, partly because Japanese officials know their nation could not afford one. "My personal opinion is the Japanese are smart enough to understand this problem. They are deeply concerned that any confrontation with the. United States is very detrimental to the Japanese," said Sam Kusumoto,: president of Minolta Corp., maker of cameras and copiers. More women contract AIDS CHICAGO - The proportion of women getting AIDS from male sexual partners has doubled in five years, indicating that women may underestimate their risk of getting the fatal disease, a new study says. Meanwhile, the cost of the only drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treating AIDS threatens to put the medication out of reach for many patients, the American Medical Association's weekly newspaper says. Only 12 percent of women diagnosed with acquired immune deficiency syndrome in 1982 - the first full year U.S. medical authorities tracked it - got it from male sex partners, researchers at the federal Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta said. By late last year, 26 percent of women getting AIDS were contracting it from men, while 50 percent of women victims get the disease from drug abuse. State plans to help pandas LANSING - Michigan wildlife officials unveiled a program yesterday to help the giant panda in hopes the cuddly-looking animal will be preserved in China and possibly be loaned to Michigan. They spelled out an "adopt a panda" program in which the Department of Natural Resources and National Wildlife Education Foundation of Warren will take donations of $500 or more for Chinese efforts to reverse the dwindling population of pandas. "If the giant Panda is going to be saved, it's going to be saved by all the people of the world," said Thomas Washington, executive director of the Michigan United Conservation Clubs. The first check of $500 was presented by David Dempsey, environmental aide of Gov. James Blanchard, on behalf of the governor. DNR Director Gordon Guyer also donated a $500 check. EXTRAS 4 4 4 is - r s A 4 Them ol' Tree City blues First there was "New York, New York," "I Left My Heart in- San Francisco," and "Meet Me in St. Louis." Soon we could add to this list of city songs "Ann Arbor - My Kind of Trees," "Just 40 Miles West of Detroit," or "The Ballad of Affordable Housing ('...where the rent is as high as an elephant's eye...')." They haven't been written yet, but they're out there waiting. And now they'll have a sponsor. In order to help sell the city to convention planners and visitors, the Conference and Visitors Bureau is looking for a song that reflects the true aura of Ann Arbor. The contest, called the "Composer Exposure Contest," is open to everyone. The song must be an original score accompanied by': appropriate lyrics. The winner will appear on the television show Kelly & Company and will receive a weekend vacation in Long Beach, California with all expenses paid. The Bureau has suggested some features of Ann Arbor that should be remembered by the composer. Among Ann Arbor's well known attributes, they say, are its trees, the University, a diversified restaurant cuisine, and all the advantages of a big city mixed with some small town hospitality.
