Matt Blosl, an LSA first-year stu- dent from Kalamazoo, said his par- ents humiliated him during the pre- football game tailgate with overzeal- ous displays of maize and blue spirit. "When the band was playing, they were going crazy," he said. "I was really embarrassed because I was with a bunch of my friends." Students said their parents enjoyed being back on campus, but showed that a lot has changed since they were in college. "My mom was really excited for the game. She was freaking out," said ISA first-year student Mike Sweeney, whose parents came from Chicago. Kate Calabresa, an ISA first-year student from Libertyville, Ill., said she enjoyed her parents' visit. "I gave them a walking tour of the Diag and all of the nice buildings and the Union," she said. "They had a good time. They were gladthey came." Calabresa said she did not attend the events planned by the Student Alumni Council (SAC) because she #wanted freedom to do what she chose during her parents' two-day stay. "Friday night we saw Garrison Keillor and we went to the game on Saturday and we went shopping on Sunday," she said, adding that many activities were quite expensive. SAC members planned an array of activities centering around the theme "UnforgettaBLUE ... that's how it will be." Friday evening featured lec- tures and performances and Saturday's main event was a pre-game tailgate party. Sunday brunch was served in the Michigan Union Ball-, room. Parents Weekend Co-Chair Eric Bullard called the program a success.

Team members chose the spot for its exposure to the brutal sun, which charges the car's battery. Exhausted but jubilant, the team settled down to go to bed. After day one of the World Solar Challenge, Maize and Blue was in seventh place overall, and ahead of all other Ameri- can teams. "Our car ran well with no major problems," said University team member Dan Ross, adding that over- cast skies had cut power to all ve- hicles during a portion of the after- noon. Termite mounds and red ant hills dot the pale foliage that covers the ground surrounding the tents and ve- hicles. And dozens of flies attempt to crawl into the students' eyes, ears and See RACE, Page 2 Annual list of 'U' salaries to be released today By ANDREW TAYLOR DAILY STAFF REPORTER Faculty and staff salary figures for the current academic year will be re- leased today. Employees have received raises ranging from 2.5 to 7 percent, accord- ing to the 1993-94 Faculty and Staff Salary Record. The complete Salary Supplement will be available later this month at the Student Publications Building. University President James Duderstadt is the highest paid non- medical school employee. His salary, of $206,070, an increase of more than $25,000, brings his salary in line with his peers at other academic institu- tions. This year, Dr. Mark Orringer, head of the Department of Thoracic Sur- gery, nabbed the top spot on the sal- ary listing from the chair of the De- partment of Surgery. Orringer re- ceived an 8 percent raise to bring his salary to $225,070. Surgery chair Dr. Lazar Greenfield had been the best-paid faculty mem- ber for the last two years. His salary is $216,913. LSA Dean Edie Goldenberg is the highest paid female non-medical em- ployee with a $162,500 salary. Outstanding faculty members re- ceived merit increases to compensate for last year's pay freeze. "The central administration made 2.5 percent new salary money avail- able to the individual (schools)," said Walter Harrison, vice president for University relations. "And we told them we hoped they would supple- ment the 2.5 percent." Harrison said none of the raises are based on seniority. "Among our non-bargained for staff and faculty, all of our raises are merit only," he said. Harrison said the 2.5 percent sal- ary budget increase came largely from money shifted from operating ex- penses. He said that in his department, he lost 2 percent from his total budget and was given a 2.5 percent increase in his salary budget. He added that this change is not equivalent because the total budget is much larger than the salary budget. Still, he approved of the switch, saying, "People are our most impor- tant resource." Harrison explained where the ad- ministration obtained the additional money to give some people the largest raises. "(Departments) would either cut their operating budget or they would cut the numbers of people they have so they could give the increases," he said. The average professor working two semesters a year earns $73,420 and the typical assistant professor re- ceives $44,384, according to a spokes- person for Office of Academic Plan- ning and Analysis. On average, lecturers are paid $29,277 for two terms. The executive officers of the Uni- versity - including Duderstadt and the six vice presidents - all make more than $125,000 per year. None of the executive officers re- ceived a raise last year. All but one received a raise this year. Gilbert Whitaker, provost and ex- ecutive vice president for academic affairs, is paid $192,042, a 9 percent increase. He is the second highest paid non-medical employee. Farris Womack, executive vice president and chief financial officer, makes $186,056.

"It's like if someone asks you if they could use the car," he said. "We said no, but they take it and paint it all different colors." A dispute over the rap remake has reached the U.S. Supreme Court and turned into a test of copyright law's strength and the boundaries of satire. Dolly Parton, Michael Jackson, comedian Mark Russell and the pub- lishers of Mad Magazine are among those who have filed briefs with the court on both sides of the case. which U.S. Supreme Court to rule on 2 Live Crew rap sampling after a song is recorded, as long as writers and publishers are credited and receive royalties. But rewrites fall into murkier legal territory. Acuff-Rose refused permission. 2 Live Crew went ahead anyway, bor- rowing the song's trademark guitar riff for verses that taunt a "big hairy woman," a "bald-headed woman" and a 'two-timin' woman." The publishers sued, claiming copyright infringement. "You're not doing anything to harm the copyright. You're just hav- ing fun," said Luther Campbell, leader of 2 Live Crew. "I've had it done to myself a few times - on 'Saturday Night Live,' they imitated me and had fun with my records."
