WASHINGTON (AP) — Tee totalers in fury against demon rum. Farmers in overalls against Wall Street. Abolition ists in arms over the evils of human bondage. And now Ross Perot is ready to march into history with the Anti-Masons, Free-Soilers, Know-Nothings, Greenbacks, Populists, Socialists, Commu nists, States Righters, Libertari ans, and the rest of the 200 “third parties” that have looked at the Republicans and Democ rats and offered a pox on both their houses. What Perot is talking about doing in 1996 is far more ambi tious than what he did in 1992, when he won 19 million votes at a cost of about $64 million from his own wallet. This time he wants to start a new Independence Party, its candidate still to be determined. But Perot is foregoing building a party that would run candidates for offices at all levels, at least for now. That dismays political scien tists, who for years have drummed into students’ heads that there’s ll: nothing sacred about the two- party system. Theodore Lowi of Cor nell, former president of the American Political Sci ence Associa tion and long advocate of new parties, said a lone- ranger president would be un able to get much done without his own loyalists in Congress. Perot “It can’t be a single I presidency,” Lowi said. “Evep | they happen to win, they’ve 5 nobody to govern with. Evtj Ross Perot couldn’t handle! He’d be likely to resign afti three months.” But running thousandsJ candidates would be fomid It would require the petitionsij natures of 1.65 million cans, says Richard Winger] Ballet Access News in San I cisco.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Six presidents of Amer ican private colleges made more than $400,000 last year and 19 others made more than $300,000, a survey found. John R. Silber, Boston University’s president, led the group for a second year, earning $564,020 in pay and benefits, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education, a weekly journal for the profes sion. The year before, Silber earned $775,963, in cluding a $300,000 bonus. Many college officials say presidents’ pay must be high to attract good candidates from business. Boston University spokesman Kevin Carleton not ed that Silber oversees an $850 million budget and 29,000 students. The Internal Revenue Service, Congress and the Clinton administration, however, have become increasingly interested in salaries of top officials of nonprofit institutions in recent years. Private colleges must report the pay and bene- CABLE INSTALLATION NO CHARGE!!
