2A - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, January 20, 1998 NATION/WORLD SALARIES Continued from Page 1A with what will keep an excellent faculty." Physiology Prof. Louis D'Alecy, who chairs the faculty's governing body, said the faculty's increase is a way to correct past "inappropriate preferences." ),The administrators were getting increases when faculty was not getting increases," D'Alecy said. "That was inappropriate. They are trying now to get into a more equitable pattern." Although the reported salaries of sev- erl Medical School faculty appeared to jump as much as 30 percent, the increas- es represent a new calculation system and not merit-based increases. In the past, the reported salaries only included Medical faculty's base salaries, which excluded some of the money earned through the academic portions of their work, said Ken Trester, director of planning and marketing for the University's Health System. But a new budgeting system includes these portions in the base salary. 'On average, a Medical School facul- ty receivedan increase of less than 5 per- cent ... whereas some of these changes may reflect larger increases," Trester said. Vice President for University Relations Walter Harrison said this year's salary increases represent healthy appropriations from the state. "In the past year, the state legisla- ture and governor have made a very thoughtful commitment to higher education," Harrison said. Harrison said teaching ability is one of the main criteria for determining merit-based salary increases. Yet some of the University's most revered teachers ranked low on the salary list. Biology lecturer Eric Mann, who received last year's Golden Apple award for outstanding teaching on the under- graduate level, received a 5 percent increase that raised his salary to $48,285. Michigan football coach Lloyd Carr received a 3.5-percent increase to earn $266,512. Hockey coach Red Berenson's salary increased 3.5 percent, to $103,500. -Daily StaffReporters Katie Plona and Jenni Yachnin contributed to this report. COLLOQUIUM Continued from Page IA "That's something they're not going to be able to get from a panel with no interaction at depth." in addition to the larger discussion and Q & A periods, the audience of at least 700 people broke into smaller groups to more comprehensively exam- ine various areas, including "Affirmative Action and Higher Education Policy" and "Native American Law," and later reconvened to summarize each groups' discussions. Chuck D, who facilitated the group that focused on the entertain- ment industry's influences and other related issues, said large corpora- tions constantly barrage people with "fantasy world" projections, there- fore skewing the messages received in the communities. Instead of emphasizing individuals in their immediate communities who strive to make positive changes, developing children form bonds with these "fantasy" images, Chuck D said. Colloquium facilitator and Harvard Law Prof. Charles Ogletree created a hypothetical situation depicting Bob, a white working- class father, who questioned his future access to job opportunities and his child's access to education. Ogletree said people shouldn't feel discouraged by any current backlash against affirmative action because the system is part of a progressive process. "I think we have to take some joy in struggle because life is struggle and we have to be proud that we're on the right side of the struggle," Ogletree said. Education first-year student Steve Hernandez, a member of the MLK Day planning committee, said the most pro- ductive use of the colloquium is as a catalyst. "I just don't want this to be the experience," Hernandez said. "The experience is what people do after they leave," which may not be noticed for one week, for one year or for 10 years. Opo AROUND THEN College students raped in Guatemala SANTA LUCIA COTZUMALGUAPA, Guatemala -- Guatemalan security forces arrested two suspects and were hunting down five others yesterday after five American college students were raped in a brazen daylight ambush of their bus. The rapes and robbery of students and faculty from St. Mary's College in Maryland, who were on an anthropology tour of Guatemala, have provoked outrage I in the United States and calls to end surging lawlessness. Vowing to obtain justice in the case, Interior Minister Rodolfo Mendoza said yesterday that the two arrested men had provided the names of their accomplices. "The security forces are trying to capture the other five criminals ... so that they can face the full force of the law," said Mendoza, who declined to discuss the case further. The pink-and-white bus was forced off the highway Friday afternoon into a break in the green, head-high sugar cane by gunmen riding in two pickup trucks, police said. The students, 12 women and one man, were returning to Guatemala City after an educational tour of historic and cultural sites. They were accompanied by two male faculty members and a female administrator from St. Mary's College, a public, four- year liberal arts school 70 miles southeast of Washington. In Washington, President Clinton decried Friday's ambush and said he was con- fident that Guatemalan authorities will handle the case appropriately. GOSS Continued from Page 1A Goss said the severity of the incidents warranted such a drastic response as threatening to cancel the Michigan wrestling program if the NCAA refused to make changes. If we could not make the sport safe, we would have ended the program," Goss said. "They couldn't have made it safe without the NCAA's cooperation." Before the NCAA created a level ground for all pro- grams, Michigan wrestlers may have been at a disad- vantage because of the rules adopted at the University weeks after Reese's death. Goss approved similar rec- ommendations made by the University task force weeks before the NCAA released its new regulations. "Of course we went ahead with our own rules and if we could have wrestled with our own rules, we would have,"he said. "If we would not have been able to com- pete, then we would have had to make an alternate deci- sion." While the possibility of halting the Michigan wrestling program has disappeared, Goss said the urgency of mak- ing long-term changes hasn't dissipated. "The rules are passed and there are still some other issues - dehydration and body fat,"Goss said. Today, "we are going to begin monitoring them." Goss said those involved in integrating weight- assessment and monitoring practices will make fur- ther recommendations to the NCAA for its April Wrestling Committees meeting. In addition to implementing effective weight- assessment and monitoring programs at the University, the task force on wrestling announced one further recommendation Thursday. Task force members strongly encourage the NCAA to consider changing the number of national weight classes and the weights they include. Officials said the weight classes need to be adapted to better accommo- date wrestlers' body demographics. - Daily Staff Reporter Heather Kam ins con- tributed to this report. FDA warns against human cloning WASHINGTON - The Food and Drug Administration has a warning for the Chicago physicist who wants to clone a human: The agency will shut down anyone who tries without its per- mission. Richard Seed's cloning plans have sparked a public outcry and a race by Congress and more than a dozen states to ban cloning. With the FDA filling what critics had called a regulatory vac- uum, scientists say lawmakers should take more time to ensure vaguely word- ed anti-cloning bills don't also ban life- saving medical research. "It's been a public and media assump- tion that there is nothing on the books that would even slow or stop Dr. Seed," said Carl Feldbaum of the Biotechnology Industry Organization, which represents biotechnologists involved in cloning research. FDA intervention "creates at least some breathing space." FDA investigators plan to make clear to Seed that federal regulations require that he file for FDA approval to attempt cloning - permission highly unlikely to be granted. "We're not only able to move, we're prepared to move," said Dr. Michael Friedman, FDA's acting commissioner, noting the agency can go to court to stop unauthorized cloning attempts. Argiments to begin in tobacco lawsuit ST. PAUL, Minn. - After a 3 1/2- year buildup, the most important trial in the history of the tobacco industry is to begin today in St. Paul, Minn. Attorneys for Minnesota will finally put before a jury the potentially power- ful - but still untested - legal theory that U.S. cigarette makers owe the state at least $1.7 billion for costs incurred treating sick smokers. With the possi- bility of punitive damages and special antitrust damages, the industry's expo- sure may be much larger. If further damaging revelations about the cigarette companies emerge, it could result in Congress revising the proposed national tobacco settlement.

InformatpronMeting,"Jan.22wsbC Intervies, Jan.2 ARouMD THE WORLD.., 1 1 Iraq, U.N. at impasse as negotiations begin UNITED NATIONS - Talks in Baghdad aimed at breaking the dead- lock regarding U.N. weapons inspec- tions in Iraq began yesterday with both sides nailing down long-standing - and mutually incompatible - bargain- ing positions. Richard Butler, the Australian disar- mament expert who heads the U.N. inspection program, rejected an ultima- tum issued Saturday by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, who demanded a deadline for completing the inspection process. Meanwhile, a crowd of demonstra- tors estimated at 1,500 to 5,000 protest- ed outside U.N. offices in the Iraqi cap- ital. The government-sanctioned protest demanded an end to economic sanctions against Iraq and featured demonstrators burning replicas of American flags and carrying coffins representing children whose deaths were blamed on the sanctions. U.N. and American officials have termed the talks crucial in the latest con- frontation between Iraq and the West, which has flared off and on since October. The weapons inspections, agreed to by Iraq after its defeat in the 1991 Persian Gulf War, are intended to ensure that Hussein's government has given up its chemical, biological and nuclear weapons and its long-range China assures U.S. of missile sales halt BEIJING - Defense Secretar William Cohen said yesterday that he has won new assurances from top U.S. mili- tary officials that China has halted sales of anti-ship cruise missiles to Iran. Chinese sale of the C-801 and C-802 missiles, which Washington believes pose a serious threat to shipping in the Persian Gulf, has been a sore point in U.S.- China relations. In a summit with President Clinton in Washington in late October, Chines President Jiang Zemin had pledged to cut off the missile sales. - Compiled from Daily wire reports. I I f - - +- -- " " v " .
