PROPOSES OSS COMPROMISE:
SGC
blasts Fleming
'
officials
on disciplinary issue
By ROB BIER
Student Government Coun-
c i 1 yesterday condemned
President Robben Fleming for
rejecting Wednesday a stu-
dent-faculty agreement on
University judicial procedures
and for requesting a special
tri-partite University commit-
tee to recommend a new Uni-
versity judicial system.
Calling Fleming's action "a re-
pudiation of the years of work
put in by students and faculty"
on the bylaw draft containing the
proposed procedures; SGC asked
Fleming to "stop stalling" and
immediately bring the judiciary
proposals before the'Regents.
Earlier in the 'day,, SGC met
with Fleming and discussed the
bylaw dispute over the proposed
Office of Student Services (OSS).
SGC Vice President Jerry De-
Grieck said that at an open meet-
ing with the Regents at 2 p.m.
today, SGC would propose "in-
terim bylaws" for OSS. The pro-
posal would state the existence
of an OSS vice president and a
student policy board, leaving the
details to be worked -out sometime
next year, after the new OSS has
been inioperation for a while.
In its statement criticizing
Fleming on his judiciary action,
SGC accused him of ignoring
"what is essentially a community
decision, because he does not like
the result." The statement w a s
referring to the bylaw draft ap-
proved last summer by SGC and
Senate Assembly, the faculty's
decision-making body.
That draft proposed giving
Central Student Judiciary (CSJ)
the authority to try all students
accused of violating rules set up
by the new University Council,
a tri-partite body empowered to
make general rules for the en-
tire University community.
Fleming voiced objections to
the bylaw draft on the general
grounds that he opposes granting
all-student judiciaries sole juris-
diction over matters which affect
persons other than students. On
this basis, Fleming maintains the
disciplinary system should include
judicial bodies consisting primar-
ily of faculty members as well as
bodies composed entirely of stu-
dents.
Each judiciary would have juris-
diction over different offenses,

Baits:Union
By BRUCE DAY
The University housing office yesterday recognized the
Baits Tenants Union (BTU) as ,the official spokesman of all
Baits residents and agreed to meet with the union to discuss
its demands.
The decision to recognize the union will probably be
subject to regental review, according to Director of University
housing John Feldkamp.
The decision was made at a meeting' yesterday between
Feldkamp, Acting Vice President for Student Affairs Barbara
Newell and several members of the BTU and its parent or-
ganization, the Ann Arbor Tenants Union.
However, despite yesterday's agreement, the union has
only-been recognized as -aspokesman-and .not the officiaL.

BAM strike analysis

tenants. As a spokesman the
group can only discuss its de-
mands and its decisions are
not binding on Baits residents.
In order to gain the status of
"bargaining agent," the BTU is
circulating petitions among Baits
residents asking them to support
the union as such an agent.
The BTU hopes that this will
enable it to be recognized by the
housing office as "the sole bar-
gaining agent" for Baits tenants
and thus enter into binding ne-
gotiations.
The Baits union has sponsored
a rent strike since January in an
effort to force the University both
toy recognize it and meet the fol-
lowing demands:
-Create a rates committee
composed of students and housing
office representatives, which would
oversee all the financial aspects of
Baits housing;
-Institute a regular audit sys-
tem to eliminate unnecessary
costs, especially concerning desk
service, the snack bar and main-
tenance service.
-Improve maintenance and the
dormitory facilities;
-Accommodate a fourth man

a week at the beginning. of the
term to guarantee full occupancy
of Baits and provide temporary,
housing for those who lack a room.

SPACE CENTER, HOUSTON UP - The Apollo 13 astro-
nauts recharged a weak battery yesterday and prepared their
crippled command ship for today's return to earth as con-
fident specialists on the ground worked to perfect the crit-
fA ical, unique re-entry procedures.
Mission Control radioed the complex instructions on how
and when to jettison the lunar module which has kept them
alive since their command ship became ineffective following
an oxygen tank rupture Monday night.
Mission Control also directed the astronauts to give the
ship a small thruster jolt at 7:53 a.m. this morning to aim,
the ship precisely at the splashdown target.
The small course co: rectioln
scheduled for 7:53 a.m. is intend-
ed only to refine the ship's aim.

ther adjustment.

The former law firm of Secre-
tary of State William Rogers has
been barred from using job re-
cruiting facilities at the Law
School because of charges that it
discriminates against women.
In a unanimous vote Tuesday,
the law faculty barred the New
York firm of Royall, Koegel and
Wells from using recruiting facil-
ities during the 1970-71 academic
year. The decision was announced
yesterday.
The action resulted from an in-
vestigation of charges that a re-
cruiter for the firm made state-
ments on campus Oct. 27 that
indicated the firm has a hiring
policy discriminatory to women.
The charges were made by mem-
bers of the local chapter of Kappa
Beta Pi Legal Sorority.
In a statement, the law faculty
said several male students had
confirmed that the alleged state-
ments were made, and that those
statements "would lead a reason-
able man to believe it is more dif-
ficult for a female law graduate
BUILDING A UNION
to obtain employment with the
firm in question than it is for a
male law graduate."
The faculty said the law firm
would be denied use of recruiting
facilities next year unless; it can
provide "convincing evidence" that
the alleged statements were not
made, or did not indicate a dis-
criminatory hiring policy.
In January; the Law School
questioned Royall, Koegel and
Wells about the charges. The firm
replied that it "does not discrimi-
nate on the basis of race, color,
sex, creed or national origin. ."
William Koegel yesterday said
that he had been informed of the
faculty's action by Law School
Dean Francis Allen. "We don't
discriminate in any way," Koegel
said, reiterating the firm's stated
policy.
In a . statement released yester-
day, a Kappa Beta Pi spokesman
said that the recruiter had indi-
cated that fewer women would be
hired than men, and that those
who were hired would need higher
qualifications.
The statement also said that the
recruiter had indicated that it was
a waste of time to invest in women
lawyers because they only stay a
while, get pregnant and leave.

tion. Kappa Beta Pi announced it

it is a result of a number of problems
the union has encountered this year -
problems of transition, it contends -
which have forced it to reevaluate itself.
The sizeable decline in fall rent strik-
ers from last spring caused new organiz-
ing techniques to materialize.
And ultimately the major tactic, the rent
strike, was and is being sharply de-empha-
sized in favor of more publicity-oriented
projects such that the strike may con-
stitute only a threat or perhaps a last
effect, the medium became the message.
And as union leaders take pains to
point out, lower rents do not constitute the
organization's major goal. It is, to be
sure, something it sorely wants to oc-
complish to improve tenants' living con-
ditions, but, they argue, significant re-
ductions of rent would come only as a
result of the realization of the union as
a power in itself.

organization which could command pow-
