The Michigan Daily- Wednesday, December 4, 1991 - Page 3 Professor will donate $100 per composition on 'greed' by Joshua Meckler Daily Staff Reporter Ross has had a lifelong commitment to they would help. Think University President James Dud- erstadt's salary of $180,385 is a lot? Try $78.2 million. That is the salary English Professor Bert Hornback said President Steven Ross, of Time-Warner, Inc., earned last year. And Hornback has decided to protest this "greed" by donating $100 to charity for every essay, poem, or artwork he re- ceives that effectively argues the theme, "Against Greed." "(Ross) stands for so much of what is obscenely wrong in our society," Horn- back said. "We should be able to articulate what is wrong with greed. Otherwise, we get had by people who say it's OK." A Time-Warner spokesperson said Hornback has misinterpreted the salary figure. He said Ross' salary last year, including bonuses, was $3.26 million. Another $74.8 million, he said, came from payments on Warner stock that Ross owned when the company merged with Time, Inc. in 1989. "We think it's a sad commentary on the state of America that (Hornback) could offer a prize without knowing the facts. charitable causes including causes of educa- tion," the spokesperson said. Hornback responded, "I really feel sorry for (Ross). Three million salary and stock worth 74 million. I'm not going to apologize for that." Hornback said he was further irritated by the fact that 600 employees were re- cently laid-off from Time, Inc., a sub- sidiary of Ross' company, and the company spokesperson said there is no chance they will be re-hired. Hornback said if each of those employ- ees earned $20,000, the total cost to the company wouldn't "come close to beans out of his money last year." Not every entry Hornback receives will be a "winner." Hornback said he is looking for "honest, good, original, well-written, effective arguments." Hornback said he will send all winning entries directly to Ross. The money for the donations will come straight out of Hornback's pocket. "In case I get hundreds of good entries, I was won- dering what I would do. Two faculty said "If I had decided how much I can give before, it inconveniences me, and that is what greed is all about." Hornback said he has received two written entries and knows of a painting that someone is planning to submit by the Dec. 11 deadline. Ngoc-Loan Nguyen, a first-year LSA student who submitted a 50-line poem said, "I decided to write one because it seems like a pretty good thing. "I don't think it's bad to make a lot of money. I think it is bad that you make it at the expense of others." Only entries from undergraduate stu- dents at the University will be accepted, and electronic mail entries are not al- lowed. Students should drop off their pro- jects at 1210 Angell Hall. The winners will be posted on Jan. 8, and Hornback will then donate the money. He said he has not decided on a charity yet, but he is leaning toward the Packard Community Clinic, an Ann Arbor medical clinic.

United Way still funding Planned Parenthood by Tami Pollak Daily Staff Reporter Although an article in this month's Agenda magazine reported that United Way of Washtenaw had dropped Planned Parenthood as a *'possible recipient of funds," both United Way and Planned Parenthood spokespersons said yes- terday it isn't true. United Way is a non-profit orga- nization that aids the fund raising efforts of other non-profit health or human service organizations, like Planned Parenthood or Ozone House. *Eight Kerrytown shops broken into Eight businesses in the Kerrytown shopping complex were broken into Friday night, according to reports from the Ann Arbor BET Police Department (AAPD). Partners in Wine and Cheese, Occasionally Holiday Gifts, Vintage to Vogue, Yarn Expressions, Hollander's, Marsh and Fields, Kosmo Deli and Doughboy Bakery all suffered prop- Robyn Menin, Executive Direc- tor of Planned Parenthood of Mid- Michigan, said yesterday there had been a decision not to grant "certification" status to Planned Parenthood by the board of direc- tors and volunteers from the Washtenaw county United Way. However, this decision has been reversed. Menin said Planned Parenthood received $10,000 last year from University contributions to the United Way of Washtenaw County. The status "certified agency" means that United Way includes the organization in publicity. "We applied for certification status in the spring, and when it was rejected, we protested the decision in public, and United Way reversed its policy in August," Menin said. That was early enough for University's United Way campaign to include Planned Parenthood on its pledge card as a certified agency. However, Pete Pellerito, University Assistant to the Vice President for Government Relations, said although the University community did raise $975,000 for United Way last year - the most of any single campus University in the nation - United Way never consulted the University on the Planned Parenthood decision. "We did receive about a dozen letters from employees who give to United Way who were concerned about the Planned Parenthood situa- tion," Pellerito said, "We passed the letters on to United Way. But we were not asked our opinion by United Way, nor did we come for- ward and ask to voice an opinion." Ed Marsh, the manager of agency relations for United Way of Washtenaw, said this is the first year his office has compiled a certi- fied agency list for publicity pur- poses. "The 27 certified agencies were approved by a board. Anybody who had proper documentation could ap- ply," Marsh said. Marsh said, to the best of of his; knowledge, Planned Parenthood had presented all the necessary paper- work, so the board's vacillation stemmed from a conflict over the controversial nature of Planned Parenthood's services. Planned Parenthood of Mid-_ Michigan offers clients birth con-li trol and birth control counseling, pregnancy testing, treatment for sexually transmitted diseases, and abortion counseling and services. "In a community like this., you're going to have people on both sides of the issues," Marsh said. "Let's put it this way, it's not the same situation as approving the Community Dental Center. Anytime you have anything contro- versial, it's going to be discussed. This time, in the final analysis, the board approved the certification." erty damage and had items taken in the burglary. Police reports said entries in to all stores were forced. No suspects have been identified, and investiga- tions are ongoing.
