Daily Staff Reporter Executive officers at the University enjoyed higher pay increases than fac- ulty and staff members again this year, according to the annual Faculty and Staff Salary Record released yesterday. While the 5.8-percent increase for executive officers was down from last year's 6.3-percent raise, the average faculty and staff increase fell from 4.7 to 4 percent, widening the gap between the two groups. "The overall faculty increase is dis- appointing in that it was a good eco- nomic year for Michigan," said George Brewer, chairman of the Senate Advi- sory Committee on University Affairs. "The difference between faculty and administration continues a trend that is adverse to the welfare of the Univer- sity. It is a trend that is going in the wrong direction." Brewer, who received a 3-percent raise and earns $126,473, said faculty Top 10 University Salaries James J. Duderstadt, president Mark B. Ord'nger, head of thoracic surgery, John D.

"The resources available at the school and college level were restricted this year because the central administration allocation from the General Fund was only 2 percent," Machen said. "The rest of the raises for staff and faculty had to come from reallocation within the schools and colleges themselves." Machen said the allocation was down from last year's 2.2 percent because the state appropriation to the University was smaller than in past years. The state appropriation went up 3 percent from last year, just barely meeting the rate of inflation, which Machen said is close to 3 percent. "I am personally disappointed that we can barely exceed the rate of infla- tion in our raises to the faculty," said Machen, who earns $210,718, the sec- ond-highest administrative salary. "If See SALARIES, Page 2 Salary Increases This year's average salary increases for faculty and executive officers are smaller than last year. Here is a breakdown of the average raises at different levels of Univesity employment and the increase in the General Fund allocation to each school unit. Duderstadt's salaries include a 5-percent merit increase and one-time equity adjustments of more than $16,000 each year. salaries are not what they should be in ence between administrative and fac- relation to administrators. "The value of the faculty is probably the most important value at the Univer- sity," said Brewer, a human genetics professor. "Rewarding the faculty should be the highest priority. These things, in my mind, are totally out of line. This is something that should be reversed." Vice President for University Rela- tions Walter Harrison said the differ- ulty salaries is misleading. "The distinction here is that a mass of people are making up the faculty's av- erage, while the administrative salaries are from a small group of people," said Harrison, who is earning $154,350 this year. "When you have a large range of salaries for the faculty, of course the average is going to seem much lower." Provost and Executive Vice Presi- dent for Academic Affairs J.

Surrounded by media, friends and fellow coaches at Schembechler Hall, Carr had the interim removed from his title by Michigan Athletic Director Joe Roberson. For Roberson, the decision came down to more than wins and losses. "Winning and losing is important. Tthat's why we play the games - to see who wins and loses," Roberson said, and .Inside Antoine Pltts approves of Roberson's decision.

White House press secretary Mike McCurry said it was virtually certain the government would begin closing this morning. As much as 40 percent of the federal workforce could be idled in the first government shutdown in five years. "There's no continuing resolution and no funding author- ity to keep the United States government operating," he said. He dismissed any suggestion that Republicans could rush a bill through early in the day to avert a shutdown. "There's no basis to believe that's going to happen." In the effort to avoid a shutdown, Clinton met with law- makers for an hour and 40 minutes last night in the Cabinet Room at the request of GOP leaders.

"But more important than that to me is that the characteristics I think a new coach ought to have will lead to winning. "Lloyd has those, and there is little question in my mind that the traditionof Michigan win- ning will continue."

Democratic leaders emerging from the White House meeting were pessi- mistic that a short-term ex- tension of spending and borrowing authority could be worked out in less than 24 hours. "There was no progress at all," said Sen- ate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle.

KRISTIN SCHAEFER/Daily to when a permanent head coach would be named, and whether or not it would be Carr. "When Bo hired me in 1980 1 felt that it was one of the greatest days of my life. Certainly it was the greatest day of my career," Carr said. "For the next seven years I felt that I had the best assistant coaching job in the country. "When I became the defensive coordinator I felt like I had the greatest coordinator's job in the country. "Today, I feel like I have the best job in sport." Now that Roberson and Carr have ended the speculation, they can work on a contract. Roberson plans to work out the details when this season ends. "We've had a four- or five-month, at least, relationship of trust, and I think we both are comfortable with that," Roberson said. "Neither of us are worried about whether or not we are going to come up with a deal at the end of the season."~ Carrwas not the only candidate for the job. Roberson had a list of between 40 and 45 candidates that had either applied or been recommended for the position. Out of that group he looked at three or four seriously, and felt could have done the job if it hadn't gone to Carr. Roberson said he was looking for three qualities in the next Michigan coach: someone who could communicate with both the media and alumni, a motivator and someone who cared about the players. Roberson said he found all of those qualities in Carr, but it wasn't a hasty decision. See CARR, Page 12 tomorrow is progress." House Speaker Newt Gingrich said, "We laid out in a pretty candid way where we feel different in terms of principle." The White House meeting came after Clinton vetoed twin spending and borrowing bills, insisting that Republicans drop provisions that would raise Medicare premiums and cut educa- tion and environmental spending. Republicans urgently re- quested to see Clinton, and went to the White House at 10 p.m. "I think we've got some tough problems to solve," House Democratic Leader Dick Gephardt said after the White House meeting. "This could last for awhile," Gephardt said, adding that Republicans had rejected the idea of extending for 48 hours the spending authority that expired at midnight. "A lot of innocent people will be hurt," he added. "We should not be facing this kind of blackmail." The key stumbling remained GOP insistence on Medicare premium increase. "This cannot be resolved as long as Medicare is on the table," Gephardt said. Clinton argued that Medicare increases were not neces- sary to meet Republican demands for a balanced budget. "If America must close down access to quality education, a clean environment and affordable health care for our seniors in order to keep the government open, then that price is too high," he said in vetoing a temporary spending bill.
