Lou Anna Simon, Purdue 37,500 Source: American Association of University Professors become the school's 19th president He oversees some 40,000 students and 4,000 faculty among 22,500 total employees. MSU's highest paid faculty member, Blosser, was instrumen- tal in helping design the world's -vmost powerful atom-smasher, or -Cyclotron, the K1200.

Cyclotrons smash atomic parti-xes together so scientists can study their reactions. The reactions have been used to get a better understanding of the particles, which also are studied in 3cancer and nuclear energy research. Keeping salaries competitive is 'the only way to keep top professors Mike Blosser, whether that means raising tuition or getting outside 'money, say school officials. "People like Henry Blosser and "the others represent a very cost-effective investment in the state of Michigan," said Terry Denbow, vice president for university relations. He earns $95,000 annually.

"I don't know what worth you can put on a man who has developed a cyclotron to attack and treat cancers, but $175,000 a year "for Henry is one of life's super bargains. "Peter McPherson calls Henry 'MSU's $8 Million Dollar Man because that's how much was saved when Henry was able to develop and deliver to Harper Hospital a lighter cyclotron than available." Formerly co-director of the cy- clotron lab, Blosser helped build a smaller cyclotron for Harper Hospital in Detroit Harper's cyclotron has since been used in treating cancer for about 150 people. The smaller cyclotron would have cost $8.5 million had it been built commercially, but cost only $2.3 million because it was designed at MSU, he said. Today, it would cost about $10.8 million to build, he said. "We don't do research here spe- cifically for things like cancer, but occasionally when you find some- '-thing like this, that's good, too," -Blosser said.

An MSU employee since 1958, Blosser holds a doctorate in physics, but originally had no intention of going into the profession. The cyclotron has a $10 million-a-year budget, and cost some $33 million to build. "Originally, I was going to run my father's poultry processing business," he said. "I got into physics after I had a bad business teacher and was approached by someone 1 knew in physics. Math came easily so I went for it.

Physics and astronomy professor George Bertsch's departure has made physiology professor Harvey Sparks the third highest paid person at MSU. A former provost of human health programs, Sparks makes $146,350 and is considered an expert on blood flow in the heart and muscles during exercise. In 1988, his work earned him a $1.2 million research award to study ways to save heart tissue from being destroyed by lack of oxygen. Bertsch left MSU to take a senior fellowship at the University of Washington's Nuclear Theory Institute.

Heathcote pulls down $109,720 a year. Overall, faculty pay ranked eighth in the Big Ten in annual salaries. Faculty will earn a 2 percent raise in April. They haven't had a raise in two years. But unlike the governor's salary, which is mandated by legislators, professor salaries are governed by supply and demand, said Craig Ruff, president of Public Sector Consultants Inc.

in Lansing. The school could lower salaries, but likely would lose its top staff to other universities, he said. "It is the vexing problem of the public purses coming too close to being empty. The public purses are insufficient to compete with the talent demands." What tuition can't cover, the university must find from outside funds. Ruff said.

"If the public legislators can't give them funding, as we're seeing, then schools have to turn to private support." That support includes gifts from alumni, doing research jobs for other companies and selling new research, said Ruff. Denbow says you get what you pay for. "The Lansing community should celebrate our ability to keep these folks here, because every one of them could go elsewhere at much greater salaries. And what losses that would represent to all," Denbow said. EXAMS NOW AVAILABLE! Suite 15 625G S.
