The Michigan Daily-Thursday, September 6, 1979-Page 17A Judge rules black English could be educational barrier SOU D ROOM (Continued from Page 14 cent of the black population in America speak black English. During the trial another expert estimated the figure as 80 per cent. ACCORDING TO University Education Prof. Herbert Eibler, it is too early to tell what kind of impact the case will have on training teachers at the University. "I think what the School of Education will do is see how the school board responds, because what they do for in-seryice training may be what we will have to do for pre-service. A second level would be to see what the state will do for the legal implications in teacher training," Eibler said. Plaintiff attorney Kaimowitz terms the judge's decision as monumental and says it "is as significant or will turn out to be more significant than Brown vs. Board of Education (that decision 1 AS seek employee status with 'U' (Continued from Page 11) DISAGREEMENTS about contract wording, hiring procedures, and the status of book rush employees have slowed the progress of the talks. Meanwhile, the campus skilled trades union had been negotiating a new contract with the University and hoped to reach an agreement before the two-year pact expired July 31. Univer- sity officials said they did not expect any difficulties in getting a new con- tract approved by the campus local of the Washtenaw County Local Building ,Trades Council, which'represents cam- pus electricians, plumbers, painters and other similar skilled personnel. According to University Personnel Administrator John Forsyth in late July, "both sides were making good progress towards a successor agreement." THE 2,300 maintenance and food ser- vice workers, custodians, and nurses aides on the Ann Arbor, Flint, and Dear- born campuses are represented by the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). Logal 1583, the largest campus labor 640on, negotiated a twoyear contract with the University last spring. Currently, 150 members of the AF- .SCME unionsare attempting to gain recognition as an independent union. The Michigan Employment Relations Commission (MERC) is considering a petition to become a separate bargaining unit submitted by the University of Michigan Mechanics and Repairmen Association. Both the University and AFSCME have challenged the petition and a ruling is expected in September. Local officials of AFSCME are currently planning a drive to include the 3,400 University clerical workers in the union, according to Local 1583 president Dwight Newman. Another campus labor group, the Organizing Committee for Clericals (OCC) is planning a separate attempt to become the representative of the campus secretarial workers, perhaps as early as this fall. Last November the clericals voted down the OCC's first bid to become the 4group's collective bargaining agent. The OCC challenged the validity of the election, alleging unfair labor practices by the University and MERC election bofficials. Hearings in the case have ,been completed, and a decision is ex- pected in August. If either group can get the signatures -of 30 per cent of the eligible clericals, a -certifying election will be held. A long-awaited decision is expected 'this fall in a case between the Univer- sity and the Graduate Employees ",Organization, which represents many graduate student teaching assistants - (TAs). After a delay with the trial tran- scripts, attorneys for both sides prepared briefs to submit to MERC, which called for the case in May, 1978. The University claims the TAs should ,be regarded solely as students while the GEO contends TAs should be regar- ded as employees. Hearings in the case were held last spring and a final decision will be made by the MERC board after a preliminary' ruling by an administrative law judge. outlawed "separate 'but equal" schools).

"He been gone" means he's been gone for a long time. every black child, at least from low- income neighborhoods, for all time toe The school board initially voted to appeal the judge's ruling, but the vote was declared invalid by Board President Kathleen Dannemiller. The vote, which was held in a private meeting, violated the state's "sun- shine" laws. The board reversed its decision to appeal when the vote was held a second timeafter Dannemiller changed her vote. Both times the decision was decided by a 5 to 4 margin. School board members who voted to appeal said they felt the decision was outside the judge's jurisdiction. Also, since the judge had not found evidence against the schools, and had even praised them, administrators said they found the ruling confusing and am- S PEC IAtLS.
