Senior faculty *decry salaries by Noah Finkel Daily Administration Reporter Full professors at the University receive lower salaries than associate and assistant professors at "peer" in- stitutions; according to Public Health Professor Roy Penchansky, chair of the Committee on the Eco- nomic Status of the Faculty. Penchansky presented the com- mittee's bi-annual report to the Uni- versity Board of Regents at their monthly meeting yesterday. Among the 18 peer institutions, ranging from private Ivy League schools to public Big Ten universi- ties such as Wisconsin and Illinois, salaries of University assistant and associate professors rank fifth, but the University's full professors rank only 12th. The University is in danger of losing its current numbers and qual- ity of faculty unless the senior fac- plty is better compensated. According to the report, the rea- son for the relatively low pay for professors is that with shortages both in budgets and the pool of fac- ulty, universities spend less on older faculty who are less likely to leave, and more on younger faculty who may be drawn by better offers to other schools or vocations. The problem is particularly acute at Michigan and may be worsening, Penchansky said, because professors here earn less relative to their coun- terparts at peer schools. University of Michigan assistant professors make five percent less than those at Harvard, the top peer school, the associates 11 percent less, and the professors 21 percent less. Often, the report said, younger associate and assistant professors are paid more than full professors. "There are four departments where the median salary for the associate professors is higher than the median for the professors. "We seem to be violating the principle that if two employees per- form similar tasks, the one with the more tenure should be paid more," Penchansky said. According to the report, a "loyalty tax" exists for faculty to stay employed with one institution: those who are young, and more mo- bile, can command higher salaries and those who leave one college for another are usually hired with higher salaries as incentive to switch schools.

Ann Arbor, MI 48109 The Michigan Daily- Friday, November 17,1989- Page 3 Tenants move to arbitrate AP Photo Tornado sweeps through Alabama HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - An aerial view shows the destruction to an apartment complex yesterday morning after a tornado swept through the Huntsville area without warning Wednesday afternoon, killing at least 17 and injuring over 450 people. No bodies were believed to be left in the rubble, but portions of the city resembled a bombing target. A shopping center and clusters of apartment buildings were leveled. Cars were piled atop each each other and utility poles were snapped like twigs. The storm system that struck Huntsville - a violent clash of unusually warm and cold air - continued its march northward yesterday, sweeping through South Carolina, North Carolina, New Jersey, and West Virginia. 'U' nears goal for reduction of out-of-state stuet housing by Heather Fee "It was 6:30 and I had a class at 7:00. I was trying to cook dinner... with no water I couldn't really cook," said LSA senior Jeanne Wiemer, resident of 911 S. Forest. Wiemer and other residents of the apartment building are witholding their rent and have complained that their heat and water were turned off for repairs at odd hours and for long periods of time. They said that the maintenance crew came in unexpect- edly to fix things and the landlord oversold parking by two spaces. "They were basically inconve- niences that should have been taken care of but weren't," said Resident Manager Engineering senior Bill Edwards. Tenants organized meetings within the building, and a majority of the building's residents signed a petition listing these and other com- plaints. In addition, landlord Judy Zwas said, "three apartments and two singles withheld rent." Both residents withholding rent and the landlord are eager to arbitrate. "We have every hope that things will be resolved reasonably at Tues- day'smediation meeting," said one of the residents withholding rent, who wished not to be named until after the arbitration. The two biggest complaints of the residents were lack of heat and lack of privacy. On October 16, resi- dents said the heat was turned down very low. "A couple times in Octo- ber we didn't have heat at all in the apartment," Weimer said. "It was re- ally freezing." Referring to the cold apartments, Resident Manager Edwards said workers fixing pipes in the boiler room had turned down the heat to avoid burning themselves, and then Religious Services ...:.....

Zwas, on the other hand, said the heat was already set at a low temper- ature because it was a warm day and that the workers were merely "repairing a small area of drywall that needed to be repaired." Residents said some repairs have been made, but other problems still persist. Residents also complained that maintenance workers came in unan- nounced to do repairs. "They come in at weird hours... They should no- tify us by phone or give us more no- tice. We would like to know who comes in and when," said Wiemer. "When the tenant calls in a complaint," said Zwas, "we ask them on the phone 'Is it all right to come in and do repairs?' If they say yes, this constitutes permission for us to come in and do repairs." Edwards said he experienced a similar problem in the apartment he was renting last year, which was owned by a different landlord. "If (the residents of his former apartment building) don't specify, maintenance people assume they have the right to come in." Zwas sent a Notice to Quit on Tuesday November 14 to all resi- dents who withheld the rent payment due on November 1. Zwas said she doesn't plan to evict but instead initiated arbitration which will take place next Tuesday, Nov. 21. by Noelle Vance Daily Government Reporter Two years after agreeing to reduce its out-of-state undergraduate enroll- ment, the University is within one percentage point of reaching its goal of a 30/70 ratio of non-resident to resident students. There are 7177 out-of-state stu- dents - 30.8 percent of the student body - enrolled at the University this fall, according to a report issued by the Office of the Registrar. Total undergraduate fall enrollment is 23,156. The figure brings the University closer to realizing an agreement made with the state in 1987 which mandates that at least 70 percent of the undergraduate student population be Michigan residents. University officials and state leg- islators made the agreement when some Michigan residents became concerned that Michigan students were being turned away from the University in favor of out-of-state students, who pay more tuition. Last year, out-of-state students accounted for 31.4 percent of student enrollment, and in 1987 the figure was 31.3 percent. The University did not adopt an official policy to reduce the enroll- ment. But, explained University Direc- tor of Communications Keith Molin, "We're sensitive to what our mix and balance is. There is an em- phasis on recruitment of resident sta- tus students. We want as broad a range of students as we can find... but not at the expense of in-state students." The University has not imple- mented any new programs to deter out-of-state students from enrolling, said Richard Shaw, director of Uni- versity admissions. Instead, the of- fice has turned its efforts to increas- ing in-state recruitment. Out-of-state students do, how- ever, face tougher admissions re- quirements to some schools and pay a higher tuition rate. No other Michigan schools have out-of-state/in-state enrollment agreements with the state. A survey conducted in September by the Mar- keting, Resource Group, Inc. of Lansing found that 41 percent of Michigan respondents felt the Uni- versity should not be forced to reduce its out-of-state enrollment. Michigan State University has the second highest rate of out-of- state enrollment after Michigan in the state.
