PAY
Continued from page :.
"The U-M is not the U.S. Trea-
sury, we don't generate our own
money, we get money from the gov-
ernment and sturdents. I think some
salaries are higher than they should
be."
Regent Laurence Deitch (D-
Bloomfield Hills) disagreed.
"You do injury to our officers," he
said, when the Board met'last month.
"We have a competent group of offic-
ers."
Baker added, however, that he and
other boardmembers have little con-

trol over faculty pay.
"The regents have the right to set
Duderstadt's salary. President Dud-
erstadt has the power to set executive
salaries."
English Prof. McNamara said he
is more concerned with principle than
payment.
"I really don't care if I get a raise
or not. But I'm exercised about the
evasion of truth by the administra-
tion," he said.
He added: "A gigantic fraud is
being perpetuated and is manifested
in the salary issue. The big fat cats are
getting big raises at a time when fund-
i ng is dwindling. They all think they're
Lee Iacoccas."-

NASA astronauts repair myopic space telescope.

GOOD. FAST. AND NOW WE'RE FREE...
For a limited time only...

SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP)
- With its new eyeglasses installed,
the Hubble Space Telescope's re-
pairs were nearly complete yester-
day and astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman
exulted: "We're almost home free."
Only a few tasks remained for
the fifth and final spacewalk over-
night - the third for the team of
Hoffman and Story Musgrave.
Happy NASA managers planned
to mark the end of the sky-high
repair effort with two events as sym-
bolic as they were vital: raising the
telescope's orbit slightly and spread-
ing its new solar wings.
"We've got basically a new tele-
scope up there," said Hoffman, an
astronomer. "It's going to be real
exciting for the astronomical com-
munity and for the whole world to
see what Hubble really can do with
a good set of eyeballs."
Hoffman and Musgrave were to
install an electronics unit for one of
the solar panels put in place Mon-
day and another electronics box.
The job was time-consuming be-
cause of the, difficulty of making
electrical connections with clunky
space-gloved hands.
The astronauts also had an un-
foreseen task, installing a cover,
handmade inside the Endeavour
cabin from an insulated blanket, for
a magnetometer, which helps guide
the telescope by measuring Earth's
magnetic field. Two sides of the
magnetometer enclosure, high on
the telescope, came off in Hoffman's
hands when he worked with it ear-
lier.
Toward the end of their work in
the cargo bay, a ground command
was to unfurl the solar panels in-
stalled earlier in the week. The
wings, as wide as the telescope is
tall, are made of huge sheets of

Shuttle commander Richard
Covey had been so stingy in his use
of shuttle fuel that enough was left
to carry the telescope to an orbit
four miles higher - 369 miles.
The Hubble, which is to be re-
leased from the Endeavour early
tomorrow, has no propulsive power
of its own. The boost is desirable

completed yesterday when astronauts
Kathryn Thornton and Tom Akers
removed a refrigerator-size box con-
taining a light meter and replaced it
with one containing 10 small mirrors.
Akers' two excursions into the
cargo bay gave him the all-time U.S.
spacewalk record of 29 hours, 40 min-
utes. That eclipsed the record of 24
hours, 12 minutes established more
than two decades ago during the
Gemini and Apollo programs by Eu-
gene Cernan.
Installation of the mirror package
was the final step, at least for the crew
of the Endeavour, toward correcting
Hubble's fuzzy vision. Fine-tuning
the optical systems and getting the
telescope back to work, is the task of
engineers on the ground.
"Hubble's just had eye surgery,"
said David Leckrone, Hubble's se-
nior project scientist. "We think it
ABORTION

Blakey argued that even the law's
name reflects "the notion of com-
mercial gain."
"The concept of illicit gain per-
vades this statute" and anti-abor-
tion groups have no economic mo-
tives, Blakey said.
That point is central to the legal
case. Lower courts dismissed
NOW's lawsuit after ruling that a
RICO lawsuit cannot succeed un-
less the defendant had some eco-
nomic motive.
Justice Department lawyer
Miguel Estrada said requiring an
economic motive for RICO enforce-
ment threatens to "really cripple"
government efforts to get at terror-
ists and their ringleaders.
Only Justice Antonin Scalia
voiced any sympathy for Blakey's
view of the law during the 60-minute
argument session.
Noting that the law is aimed at
any "enterprise" involved in a pat-
tern of racketeering activity, Scalia
said it is possible "enterprise means

was sucessful but we're not going to
know for sure until we're able to tape
the bandages off seven-eight-nitie
weeks from now."
The optical fixes were installation
of a new wide-field planetary camet,
with built-in corrections for Hubble's
misground main mirrors, and Costar,
a contraption that channels the light
stream to three other astronomy in-
struments with precisely ground and
aimed mirrors.
"With Costar and the wide-field
planetary camera both optically cor-
rected and functioning, we will have
a complete and capable observatory
with all the tools that astronomers an*
astrophysicists need to ply their trade
and go after the big questions about
the universe," Leckrone said.
"It is extremely difficult to keep
from getting excited right now," he
said. "But I gotta try."
Some protestors have
used 'forcible, violent
conduct ... when
necessary, including
terrorism.

the same thing as business enter-
prise."
Clayton argued, "Congress knew
how to put a limitation in RICO
when it wanted to. Congress did not
write the statute that way."
Congress is expected to pass a
law soon giving new federal protec-
tion to abortion clinics, their staffs
and patients. But the law, already
approved in slightly different ver@
sions by the House and Senate,
would not allow lawsuits against
alleged national conspiracies and
their leaders.
The new law also does not pro-
vide for the tripled damages that
winners of RICO lawsuits can col-
lect.
