the-board 5 percent overall increase.

percent and the rest ot" the increase

have   accused   him   of    trying   to   drag
down their request.

ointment, so to speak." Jakuhauskas
said, "so we kept (the olficers' increase!
out of there."

by YVONNE C. CLAES
lilt   r ditoi
Despite a gain in tin- number of female
faculty members this year. Central still
has a long way to go in closing the salary
gap between the genders.
At Thursday's Hoard of Trustees
meeting. Jon K. Harrow, director of faculty
personnel services, presented the rcgular
faculty demographics report — prepared
earlier this month — outlining the age,
sex,   race  and  salaries of CMU's 40  new
faculty  members appointed sulci' Jan.  1.
Although women make tip 55 percent, or
22. of the total number of new faculty,
some Hoard members raised concerns over
lhe higher salaries of male faculty
members compared to their- female
count erpnrts.
Male hirecs make an average salary of
$3(5,729 and female hirecs make an

Former campus physician heads for Saudi sands
by CHAD BUSH
[ II i     Sl.ltt  Writer
A former University Health
Services physician left campus
— and the United States — to
treat soldiers instead of
students.
Lt. Col. Donald Smith. Ml).,
now is on military duly in the
Middle East, said Dean Wood.
UHS physician's assistant and a
friend of Smith. The two keep in
touch hy mail.
Smith is a certified internist
working in a 100-bed mobile
hospital for the Air Force, Wood
said.
Internists use nonsurgical
methods to deal with internal
problems   that   can   be   treated
without surgery, such as organic
diseases, be said.
Debbie Jackson, a licensed
practical nurse at UHS who also
worked with Smith, said. "I'm
not scared for him or anything.
"In his last letter it sounded
like there's not a lot going on
where he's at — that relieved
us."
The hospital Smith is
stationed at provides medical
care for the Fourth Technical
Fighter Wing Unit. Wood said.
Smith wrote Wood a letter
ahout the tense life he leads in
the desert. The entire hospital
once flew to a new location in a
single day when the unit went on
alert, he said.
At the time Smith wrote the
letter-, he was in Thumrait.
Sultanate of Oman, but Wood
said be isn't certain where he is
now.
One letter recounted how
Smith's unit set up a portable
hospital in three days when he
first arrived, and operates
without running water, sewers
or a sanitary system, he said.
Hospital personnel sleep in
tents and use outhouses for
personal needs, Wood said.
Smith worked for UHS for two
years, then left in spring 1989 to
rejoin the Air Force, Wood said,
silt hough he did not know the
details of Smith's military
history.
After leaving Mount Pleasant.
he then was stationed in Ootds-
horo. N.C.
Jackson said Smith is an
adventurous man, and she was
not surprised when he returned
to the service in his mid-5()s.
But when he went back to the
Air Force, Smith did not expect
the crisis in the Persian (Julf.
Si.iith was in one of the first
un;ts to leave for the Middle
East.
When Wood found out Smith
was leaving the country, he said
he was surprised and concerned
for his friend.
"I always thought that his
position was kind of safe," Wood
said.
CMU has its own long arm
when it comes to the law
by CORRIE PERNIK
1  il I    Sr.il!  Writer
CMU students arrested during Western Weekend riots may face
punishment from the University — as well as the courts - regardless
of bow the courts rule on their arrests.
CMU officials, responding to city complaints, are investigating the
actions of 17 students charged with midemeanors or felonies, said
James Hill, vice president for Student Affairs. The charges include
disorderly conduct, inciting others to riot ind assaulting police officers
with a dangerous weapon.
Students the University believes violated its Code of Conduct can
expect to receive notifications as early as this week. Hill said.
Hill said it also is possible Central will not punish students found
guilty of charges in  Isabella County District Court.
Hut he added that  CMU's Code of Conduct  is "fair."
"We have been known to handle our cases in a very fair, firm and
consistent manner," he said. "We will make sure all student rights are
preserved."
Disciplinary action could range from reprimands to dismissal, he
added. Dismissal, the most serious sanction, involves termination of
student status and loss of all accumulated credit hours.
Describing the behavior of the students at the Oct. 13 riot as
"pathetic." Hill said repercussions of Western Weekend affect the
entire student body, not just the people attending the "party."
The Code of Conduct states the University has the right to take
disciplinary measures against students whose actions violate state or
local law "in a manner which alfects the University."
If students violate University codes, are arrested, and there is
adequate evidence, disciplinary measures will be taken, Hill said.
The University, however, is not hound by the same proof constraints
as a court of law and will not delay sanctions to correspond with the
findings ofthe court, he said.
CMU   is   not   the   only   university   whose   code  of conduct   allows
