NEWS The Michigan Daily - Friday, January 14, 2005 - 7 s SALARY Continued from page 1. are often paid by either clinical rev- enue or individual grants, said David Bloom, associate dean for faculty affairs at the school. "It's far different than the other schools," Bloom said. Medical School professors do teach, but most of their activities are in clinical care or research. Two-thirds of the 1,800 Med- ical School faculty see patients and operate in addition to teaching. So if they perform expensive proce- dures or win highly lucrative federal grants, their salaries go up as well. Medical school Prof. Lazar Green- field, who works as a surgeon, for instance, took in the second-highest salary at $507,285. Greenfield has served as interim executive vice pres- ident for medical affairs - Kelch's current position - but also as chair of the surgery department. As chair, he was credited with making the department one of the best in the country, Bloom said. Though size of some administra- tors' salaries may seem high, the Uni- versity said that this year's increases were "modest." These salary raises came on the heels of a 2-percent budget cut from the state this year. So to pay for the raises, the University has had to *BCS Continued from page 1 else that has to do with the Rose Bowl," he said. The NCAA report on expenses for the 2004 Rose Bowl included an additional $13,619 for the transportation of Univer- sity officials, such as University Presi- dent Mary Sue Coleman and members of the University Board of Regents. FRIEZE Continued from page 1 "I support the proposal," said LSA junior Pamela Baker, a member of the organization Public Interest Research Group In Michigan. "I think increased housing for students is long overdue. I also like the idea of putting academic and residential space in one building. I think this is a step in the right direc- tion, a chance for the University to show that undergraduate life is important to them. Others who spoke on behalf of Cole- man's proposal included State Street merchants, who said they believe a resi- dence hall will bring more students to the area and increase business. Overall, both University administra- tors and community members said they were pleased with how the meeting went and really hoped the University and community could work together on the project. "I thought the meeting went very well and that it was a very good representa- tion of the feelings people have about the Frieze Building," said Darlene Ray- Johnson, assistant to the Dean for the Rackham School of Graduate Studies. "I'm glad the University gave the public a voice on this issue." The University is expected to rec- ommend an architect to the University Board of Regents at the next regents' meeting, to be held on Jan. 26. The regents will then decide whether or not find "efficiencies" and reallocate resources within departments and in the administration. "We know that state funding was very tight, and that's why the sal- ary increase was so modest," Univer- sity spokeswoman Julie Peterson said. Over the past five years, faculty salary increases have ranged from 5.8 percent in fall 2001 to 2.6 percent in fall 2003, when the University received a 10-per- cent cut from the state. Because the University is a public institution and roughly one-third of its budget is controlled by the state's fluc- tuating budget, it sometimes is disad- vantaged in the job market. "Because we're competing with other private universities, it can be a challenge for us," said Timothy Wood, senior director of human resources at the University. Bloom expressed similar concern, noting that in some fields, professors in the Medical School are not paid as much as they would be in private practice, despite their seemingly high salaries. "We struggle to pay competi- tively, and in some areas, we are below competitive," Bloom said. But the school is less affected by public fund- ing constraints, because it gets most of its revenue outside of the University's general fund. "That leaves us far, far less depen- dent on state fluctuations," Bloom said. HAZING Continued from page 1 The reported hazing incidents at the University occurred just after the state Legislature passed a new haz- ing law last summer. The new law made hazing that resulted in "endan- gering the physical health or safety of an individual" a criminal act and enforced stiff penalties for hazing STEREOTYPE Continued from page 1 gions. In another exhibit, actors berated the tour group with insults regarding their sexual orientation in a scene that was meant to take place on the streets of Ann Arbor late at night. Two of the actors individually approached mem- bers of the group and asked them ques- tions such as, "Why are you like this? Don't your parents hate you?" The ver- bal assaults eventually escalated into a pushing match with another actor, when the instigators pulled out bats. Before anyone could intervene, the lights went out. The comments from the actors would sometimes become personal. While playing a prospective employer, one actor told LSA junior Edna Buckle that she would not get the job because of her braids. Even though she was initially offend- ed, Buckle understood why the actors targeted her. "I was pissed off, but it got me think- ing," she said. However, other exhibits focused on broader problems, such as profiling of Arab-Americans in airports. LSA sophomore Stephen Lin and LSA junior Ben Rattner played airport security agents forcing the tour group to assem- ble into two lines. Lin and Rattner each took turns accusing the participants of engaging in terrorist activities and call- "There's no way the state would be able to manage a billion-dollar-a-year busi- ness," he added, referring to the Medi- cal School and its adjoining hospital. Administration officials consistent- ly stress the importance of awarding employees for their hard work so the University can stay competitive in the academic job market. "I think the university has considered salary increase programs an important part of recruitment and retention and makes a commitment to having them even when we're in difficult budget times," Wood said. There are several reasons why employees receive salary increases, Wood said. One is to recognize the contributions of faculty and staff members. As budget cuts continue, the University often asks faculty and staff members to do more than their job description entails. The Universi- ty also recognizes the increased costs of living that employees experience, he added. If employees do not regularly receive compensation for their hard work, "we're not going to be an excellent uni- versity anymore," Peterson said. Copies of the complete Salary Record are on reserve at the Univer- sity Library and also may be purchased from the Human Resources Records and Information Services Department, (734) 647-0018. that include jail time and expensive fines. If a fraternity or sorority is found to be guilty of hazing, it could be suspended from its national chap- ter or sanctioned by the IFC or the Panhellenic Association. If individuals are found guilty by OSCR, they could be subject to educational sanctions or probation, or in rare instances suspended or expelled. ing them by racial slurs. Rattner even took a bag of popcorn that was suppos- edly in somebody's bag and asked the person if it was an explosive. As each simulation elicits different verbal reactions from every group, the actors must continually change their performance. "There is a script of things that you want to get across. When people react and get in your face, is when you have to improvise," Rattner said. Students participating in the event were affected by these enactments. "Since (gay hate-crime victim) Mat- thew Shephard, the scene with the hate crime affected me the most," said LSA senior Sydney Zhou. "Things such as that happen all the time. It is a real- ity check that we live in such a liberal town." LSA junior Edna Buckle could identi- fy most with the racial profiling section, as she has undergone similar experi- ences not being from the United States. "Every time I used to travel, I would be pulled over. Even once, my mother had her bag looked through and her under- garments examined," she said. "I think it was a good experience, but you're left with the question, 'There are people like that, but what can I do about it?' " Buckle added. Boxes and Walls will continue until next Thursday.

ReligionlayS role for many in im migration to U.S.' ALTAR, Mexico (AP) - Along a northbound dirt road, a young couple clad in jeans and T-shirts jumps out of an idling van and walks toward the path's edge, making for a white concrete box with an ornate, wrought-iron cross perched on top. Dozens of candles - some lit, some melted, some broken - are crammed inside the 5-foot-high makeshift altar, along with statues of Our Lady of Guadalupe and St. Jude, patron saint of lost causes. As the couple kneels before the display with bowed heads, a little boy runs out of the van and kisses the ground. The humble spot some 60 miles south of the Mexico-Arizona border serves as one of the last places where migrants worship before being shuttled to spots where they will attempt to slip illegally into the United States on foot. On their trek for economic survival, migrants traveling through the treacherous Arizona desert also find themselves embarking on a religious journey. Many rely on faith to sustain them through the trip's perils, stopping to pray at icons or light- ing votive candles to remember those who died along the way. Before jumping aboard moving cargo trains during the trip north, 29-year-old Carlos Enrique Cano Vanega and other Cen- tral Americans he was traveling with would pray by the side of the tracks. "We began to entrust ourselves to God and asked that he would keep us safe," said Cano, a Honduran man who had journeyed to this Mexican community recently in preparation for an attempted trip to the United States. People everywhere will often seek spiritual comfort dur- ing troubled times. And culturally, Latin Americans identify themselves as religious, even if they don't attend services reg- ularly, said Jacqueline Hagan, co-director for the Center for Immigration Research at the University of Houston. In the case of poor immigrants, reliance on faith is even heavier because they have virtually no other resources, Hagan said. "The only recourse they have is to turn to religion, and that's all they really have on the road as well," she said. Before embarking on the trek into the United States, indig- enous residents of the Guatemalan highlands seek counsel about whether to make the trip and when to go from evangeli- cal pastors or the Black Christ, a dark-skinned depiction of Jesus common in parts of Latin America, Hagan said. "Religion is their spiritual passport in the absence of autho- rization," she said. "They get sanctioned by God to do this." While on the road, some turn to biblical passages that mir- ror their travels, such as those citing how the Israelites wan- dered through the desert under God's guidance. For Cano and others on the train, reading the New Testa- ment to each other brought comfort. "You feel something ... you feel safer than being out there" without anything to sustain you, he said at a migrant shelter in Altar, a city that serves as a popular staging area for migrants planning to cross the border at Arizona. Fifty-six-year-old Ernesto Garcia Mondragon frequented the Catholic church in town to pray for his nephew, who left Mexico bound for the United States.
