port exaggerates complaints about
salaries and spending priorities,
while faculty members contend the
administration has ignored the
findings.
"The report reflects a lack of
knowledge of what we do," said
Arthur Smith, the university's vice
president for Academic Affairs and
provost.
Smith complained the report
used "polemic" language "in an
exaggerated way" to draw attention
to its main complaint about
inadequate salaries.
The university administration
wants to discuss the issues raised
in the committee's findings, Smith
said.
But Peter Becker, chairman of
the Faculty Welfare Committee,
said the administration's response
to the six-week-old report has been
"total silence."
"I didn't expect them to respond,"
Becker said. "If you tell
them the emperor has no clothes,
what do you expect them to say?"
Most of the 12-page report lists
complaints about faculty pay falling
below average and discrepancies
between faculty pay in various
disciplines.
A report released earlier this
year by the Southern Region Education
Board showed the average
faculty salary for four-year institutions
in South Carolina was
$36,664 in 1988-89, below the regional
average of $37,890 and national
average of $40,348.
South Carolina also showed one
of the lowest projected increases in
salaries for the coming year in the
region, according to the report

'The practice of power politics
will eventually jeopardize the relaxation

and only lead to a continued
Cold War," Foreign Ministry
spokesman Jin Guihua said at a
weekly news briefing.
Jin was responding to a question
on whether the Malta summit between
President Bush and Soviet
President Mikhail Gorbachev signaled
an end to the Cold War.
"The international situation is
undergoing major changes at present,"
Jin said. "Hegemonism is
finding it's going tougher and

said.
The Chinese government's only
previous comment on the summit
was that it hoped the results "will
genuinely help relax and stabilize
the world situation and will not
harm the interests of any third
party."
Asked which superpower was
more responsible for prolonging
the Cold War, Jin said only, "In i
this world of today there are very

against whomever practices power
