2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, November 14, 1995 SALARIES Continued from Page 1 you look at the quality of the faculty, it is important that we maintain competi- tive salaries to keep that quality. Fac- ulty salaries here are a continuing prob- lem for us." President James J. Duderstadt jumped to the top of the University's list this year with his $260,709 salary, which includes a 5-percent merit increase and a $16,667 equity adjustment. He surpassed Mark Orringer, head of thoracic surgery at University Hospitals, who earns $259,516, and receives the University's second-high- //U est salary. Duderstadt said, however, that the list the University releases does not realistically indi- cate the top salaries. "While I am listed as having the top salary at the. University, what Goldenberg: you see is what I $190,000 get," he said Fri- day. "I don't make a penny more than the salary that the University pays me."

He said Medical School employees may take in profit from their practices and coaches make money from outside sources, such as television contracts. Duderstadt said he is not even in the top 50 at the University in terms of actual income. "Last year I was right about 100th in the University in sal- ary," he said. "Now, I am about 601:1." Harrison said the salaries here are similar to those at other top universities. "Our stated policy is to remain on level with the best universities in the country," he said.

Duderstadt University president N Supreme Court to rule on cable 'smut' WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court agreed yesterday to decide whethe Congress' first venture into fighting smut on cable television violates free-speec rights. The battleground is public-access channels and those leased by cable systems to local groups. Opponents of a 1992 cable law that aims to restrict indecent programs on such channels say it will encourage censorship in violation of the Constitution's Firs Amendment. A decision upholding the measure could spur Congress to impose further restrictions on indecency, perhaps on commercial cable television channels or on- line computer services, said I. Michael Greenberger, a lawyer for local program producers and viewers challenging the 1992 law. Congress enacted the measure proposed by Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.) follow- ing complaints about lewd programs on some leased-access channels. The government says indecent programs depict or describe "sexual or excretory activities or organs in a patently offensive manner," based on contemporary community standards. Indecent material is protected by the First Amendment, while programs judged obscene have no free-speech protection. have kept with that. We tend to be at the top of the public schools and competi- tive with a lot of the private schools. However, we do remain behind the top private universities." LSA Dean Edie Goldenberg is now the highest-paid female administrator with a salary of $190,000, a raise of $11,000 more than her salary last year. Ten of the 15 highest-paid employ- ees at the University are associated with the Medical School, and all of the top ten salaries are more than $207,000 for fiscal year 1996. Men's basketball coach Steve Fisher earns $125,580 this year, an increase of 4 percent. Hockey coach Red Berenson also received a 4-percent increase and now makes $87,360. Football coach Lloyd Carr, who was listed with an in- terimsalary as of Nov. 1,earns $110,000.

WASH INGTON - Sexual harass- ment remains a serious problem for the federal government despite widespread training programs that have made more workers aware of the problem, accord- ing to a new survey released yesterday by the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board. The survey, based on questionnaires completed by 8,000 federal workers last year, found that 44 percent of women and 19 percent of men who responded to a survey of 13,200 fed- eral workers said they had been the targets of "uninvited, unwanted sexual attention." Those are approximately the same percentages as surveys found in 1980 and 1987, a worrisome finding that prompted the board to suggest that the government's prevention programs "need some serious reconsideration." The study found the costs of harass- ment in terms of sick leave and job turnover jumped to $327 million in a two-year period ending in April 1994, up from $267 million for a similar pe- riod ending in 1987. It said that the higher figure may reflect inflation and the rise in federal pay and noted there was "a significant drop" in job turnover and sick leave attributed to harassment since the last survey. Poll: Anxiety energizes Dems WASHINGTON - The voter anger that spurred the Republican revolution is turning to anxiety, splitting the new GOP coalition and energizing Demo- crats, according to a broad new study of American opinion. Discontented Americans pin much of the blame for their worries on Con- gress and little on President Clinton, the Times Mirror Center for The People & The Press found in a survey released yesterday. "Congress has become the focal point of people's complaints, even among Republicans," said poll di- rector Andrew Kohut. "As for Bill Clinton, the buck isn't stopping there." l 6 Y--I Ir Thtiiie toyint'-- KAPLAN Educational Center presents: So You Want to Be A Doctor? Join us at 337 E.

The first visit by a Chinese head of state to South Korea comes three years after the two sides established diplo- matic ties in a Beijing initiative that shocked Pyongyang but helped force it to begin coming to terms with Seoul and the outside world. "President Jiang's visit itself will draw an epochal line in the 5,000 years of South Korea-China rela- tions," said Yoo Chong Ha, senior presidential secretary for foreign and security affairs. Jiang's visit is expected to focus on the mushrooming trade ties dur- ing his summit meeting with South Korean President Kim Young Sam. In a few short years, China has be- come South Korea's third-largest trading partner, after the United States and Japan, and its biggest re- cipient of direct foreign investment. 77~ At Jiang's request, he and his del- egation of more than 100 mostly eco- nomic technocrats will visit semi- conductor, auto and heavy industrial plants during their five-day visit. Japanese Cabinet member resigns TOKYO-The resignation ofa Japa- nese Cabinet minister yesterday defused a diplomatic row between South Korea and Japan that had threatened to disrupt the two nations' ties just days before a Pacific Rim summit. South Korea had furiously demanded that Takami Eto, head of the Manage- ment and Coordination Agency, be fired orresign for commenting last monththat Japan did some "good things" during its 1910-45 colonial rule of Korea. Eto is the latest of several politicians to provoke Korean anger by seeming to whitewash Japan's harsh 35-year rule of their country. Korean officials had insisted that unless Eto left his post, they would cancel a summit meeting between South Korean President Kim Young Sam and Japanese Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama set for Saturday. - From Daily wire services INSTEAD OF THE MOVIE OF THE WEEK, MAY WE SUGGEST THE MOVIE OF THE YEAR?
