              Faculty Seeks 24% Pay Hike
Hundreds of UM students waited in line on Intramural Field today to hear the results for athlete of the year. Wouldn’t you know, a turkey won1 This turkey, unlike any other turkey we found in the bunch, is very apathetic. His apathy results from being misinformed on certain campus issues. This poor turkey won't be waiting in the registration lines this spring for he will be part of someone's dinner Thursday night. Let him celebrate, and wallow in his glory as athlete of the year (he deserves it?) So, buy your favorite turkey a drink at the Rat - because he hasn't much time.

The Faculty Senate made a recommendation of a 24 percent salary increase for all faculty members to the Budget Committee of the Board of Trustees on Sunday. The increase would make the faculty’s salaries comparable to that of other universities.
The recommendation was discussed with the Budget Committee in a seven-hour confidential meeting, resulting from a special Faculty Senate meeting held on Friday.
According to UM President Henry King Stanford, the Budget Committee is considering every aspect and no firm conditions have been reached.
At the Faculty Senate meeting, the Compensation Committee of the Faculty Senate recommended that the salary increase take effect for the 1980-1981 fiscal year.
According to Eugene Clasby, chairman of the Faculty Senate and English Professor, when comparing UM salaries to other university salaries, the full professors are among the lowest third; associate professors are among the lowest fifth; and assistant professors are in the lowest tenth.
In the recommendation, the Faculty Senate composed a list of 11 universities and compared UM’s faculty salaries with those institutions.
According to the Faculty Senate’s findings, the percent increase in average salaries from the 1973-1974 fiscal year to 1978-1979 are (according to rankings); University of South California, Washington University, Johns Hopkins, Emory, Stanford, Cornell, Syracuse, Tulane, Duke, Vanderbilt, and UM.
Concerning the recommendation and making faculty salaries comparable to other universities, Clasby said that "we can maintain and attract the best faculty with a salary competitive with other institutions."
The average salary for UM’s faculty is $22,480, according the Annual UM Salary and Consumer Price Data listing
The 24 percent salary increase recommendation was requested by the Faculty Senate to be distributed as follows;
•	An 18 percent increase for all UM faculty.
•	Four percent distributed on the basis of merit considerations.
•	Two percent distributed to correct existing inequities.
"We understand and sympathize with students as they are faced with the rising cost of an education because we are in closer contact with students. We presented the University facts as far as economic considerations are concerned,”
Clasby said.
In relating the recommendation to a tuition increase. Stanford said that salary and tuition increases are related to the Board of Trustees policy which relates increases to the cost of living.

A change in leaders of the Venezuelan government nas forced UM officials to restructure a special program for students from that South American country.
Enrolled in a three-year program to gain proficiency in English and to acquire technical skills, the students will be returning at the end of this year. By that time they will have completed only the intensive English part of their training.
According to Dr. Robert Allen, dean of the School of Continuing Studies, the new government has recalled the Venezuelans due to a shift in occupational priorities.
The government will assign them individually to technical programs in its own country, at another insti-

F'iery opposition to the Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG) passage of the 50/50 tuition split has led to widespread accusations of illegalities and alterior motives, as two conflicting petitions circulate on campus.
An opposition movement to the Undergraduate Student Body Government (USBG) decision on the 50/50 Tuition Rebate split has led to the circulation of two different petitions on campus. In addition, questions are being raised as to the legality of the USBG decision.
Two students, Jim Radogna and Brian Sirota, have raised questions regarding the legality of USBG's split of $880,000.
The funds were designated as tuition rebate funds, and Radogna said that "students should have the right to decide whether or not their fifty dollars should go into campus improvement.”
"USBG is elected by the students to represent the students. It is unrealistic to approach the whole student body on every issue that comes
in front of the senate.. Often, as in this case we are pressed for time and a decision had to be made." said

Iranian Students At UM React; PPA Professor Reviews Crisis
70 I rail ions Here...Issues Hi seussed
By LOURDESBRE/O
Hurricane Staff Writer
"The Iranian students here are deeply concerned with the attitudes towards them. I am concerned that their academics will suffer," said Laura Morgan, UM director of International Students Services
No demonstrations have taken place on campus, but enough incidents have occurred in the community to frighten local Iranians. They are scared of both the American people and the government.
The Justice Department ordered all Iranians to report Nov. 10 Approximately 50.000 Iranian students in the United States will have to report either to the local immigration office or to the international student office on their college campus
Those that cannot prove their full-time student status, those who have expired visas, any who work without permission or any who have been convicted of a violent crime and sentenced to one or more years in prison will be deported to Iran.
Morgan would not say how many of the 70 Iranian students on campus would be affected by this ruling, but said that most of the UM Iranians are in good standing She and several of the students will meet with immigration officials later this week
Amir Razzaghi, an Iranian who plays on the UM soccer team, feels that if officials are looking for a reason to deport him, they have it.
Razzaghi did not renew his student visa on time. He had received a 16-day extension on his visa, after sending his passport to Iran to be validated. But he did not receive notice of the shortened extension until his passport was returned, four months later.
Student visas are issued for four years when the student is accepted into the country but must be renewed yearly. Officially Razzaghi was in this country illegally for approximately six months.
"I was going to school as a fulltime student during that period and even in the summer, when you're not required to.” Razzaghi said Razzaghi said he is afraid of being deported because he expects to graduate with an engineering degree in three semesters
“l seriously doubt that I will be able to continue my studies if I am deported. The universities (in Iran) are now closed. After I get my degree. I plan to go back. I have no plans to stay here. This situation is really affecting my grades, because how can you study without being sure you will benefit or not?"
Ali, a junior, who would not give his last name, said he is not afraid of the students but he is afraid of the Governmemt, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Federal Beureau of Investigation.
He blames the United States government for keeping the Shah in power for nearly four decades.

Bernard Schechterman of UM's Politics and Public Affairs Department. discussed the Iranian crisis and its implications for the world Wednesday evening at Hillel.
Schechterman said that the crisis in Iran (which began earlier this month with the takeover of the U S. embassy in Tehran by Moslem students) was a result of the Khomeini regime's instability.
According to Schechterman. Iran’s rulers are in a state of “chaos" and have "reached an impasse.”
Because of the regime's failure to evolve from revolution in the streets to stable government and its inability to supply many basic necessities to its people, a "scapegoatism” has developed. The Shah is the issue. anti-Americanism is the device, and the diverting of popular attention from those failures is the goal
Iran's rulers hope to stave off further disorder by uniting the country behind the banner of anti-Americanism
Schechterman emphasized that this does not indicate the failure of Islam, rather Khomeini's version of it (“messianic Shiism").
Schechterman said that there are Islamic groups in Iran not as opposed to the West and America, which could reconcile their religious beliefs and the realities of international politics and relations
in the twentieth century.
In discussing the crisis at present and the prognosis for the near future. Schechterman said that dual misperceptions have played and will continue to play a large part in determining how the situation will be resolved
The Iranians approach this question "from a moralistic, totalistic, 100 percent viewpoint in which religion represents the whole truth for them and in which therefore, we (Americans) are wrong. They also perceived that we were leaderless, fundamentally weak,” Schechterman said
On the other hand. Schechterman said the U S. failed to recognize that "what we consder to be universal norms, retainality, ratiocentricity and ratiocination do not apply to Iran today We also failed to judge the degree of instability in Iran, and what that could entail."
In the short run. Schechterman said, there will be an "erosion of the Iranian position because expectations which produced a high escalating tactic have been unmet and they backtrack to non-violent diplomacy" such as economic, oil related measures.
Schechterman predicted that there "will probably be a negotiated settlement (in which) Iran wiT save face and we'll get the hostage: back."
As far as the U.S. handling of the crisis, Schechterman feels that the fact that use of the "food weapon"

USBG secretary of Community Affairs Carlos Hazday.
The two students have begun to circulate petitions and gather signatures in order to present a proposal to the USBG Senate to counteract the present rebate split.
At the same time, the USBG is also surveying students to investigate the amount of backing that the student body has for the rebate policy.
"Those of us who are actively questioning the 50/50 rebate proposal are not 'pointing a finger' in dirret opposition. However, we are indignant as to the methods employed by USBG in trying to effect capital improvements," Sirota said.
According to Radogna, the protest calls for a re-examination of the program by the student senate and that, rather than splitting the money, the full $100 rebate should be given to the students, who may individually decide whether or not to donate half to the proposed campus improvement fund
"When the trustees donate this money, it belongs to the students . . uVve consulted legal council, and believe that the USBG has no right to do this. When the Board of Trustees gives the money back to students, the USBG can’t intervene,” Radogna said
The rebate agreements are a result of a bilateral contract between USBG and the University.
“The rebate is an agreement between the University Administration and USBG, not the students. It is an agreement we signed; we have the legal right (to administer it)," Hazday said.
Radogna also questioned the validity of the USBG belief that, had the split not gone into effect, there would be no rebates in future years.

tution in the United States, or at UM Those who return to UM will do so on an individual basis.
The shift of priorities presents a challenge to Project Director Robert Lloyd.
"Our role is to respond to these changes,” Lloyd said.
"We will be assisting the government of Venezuela in identifying their occupational priorities,” Allen
said.
There were rumors that the Venezuelan government had cancelled the three-year contract. However, Lloyd explained that the contract was on a one-year renewable basis, a stipulation requested bv government officials.
"This was an attempt in exploring the feasibility of this (type of program),” Lloyd said.
The School of Continuing Studies specializes in developing innovative programs (including para-professional studies) not covered by traditional educational means.
"We feel these (programs) are useful and supportive of the traditional program. We need more technically trained people," Lloyd said.
“Every time you graduate an engineer, a doctor, or a lawyer, you need five to 20 technologists or technicians," Allen said.
Allen indicated that the role of the School of Continuing Studies is to generate a curriculum that is tailored to meet a particular organization’s needs. He cited a center in the Little Havana area as an example of meeting a specific need of the community by utilizing the resources of the University.
"The University has been underrated in what it's been able to do for the community," Allen asserted, adding that UM students provide one of the greatest resources.
"We think it (the School of Continuing Studies) is one of the most dynamic and innovative programs of the University," Lloyd said
