"Y,*ti ''S''*.M .'n G.ina.ffR. oliee allegedly sa nan in dorm By TIMOTHY YAGLE A member of the Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade (RCYB) trying to sell his organization's newspaper was allegedly dragged from the lunch line at Alice Lloyd dormitory by Ann Arbor police yesterday and later thrown to the ground in an outer hallway, according to RCYB member and dorm resident Don Alexander. Randy Schwartz said he and another RCYB member and one supporter were standing near the line trying to sell literature when someone nearby com- plained to dorm officials. The officials informed the group they did not have a permit to display and sell propaganda and then told them to leave, he said. SCHWARTZ ALSO said the officials told the group they "wanted to keep revolutionaries out of the dorms," and did not want communists selling their literature there. "They wouldn't do that if we were frat rats trying to advertise a party," he said. Alice Lloyd officials could not be reached for comment. The group "began agitating pretty loudly," Schwartz continued, and when he started walking away, a policeman grabbed him and began making an arrest. "I went back oward the line," he said, "and three or four cops poun- ced on me and dragged me out of the lunch line. They threw me on the ground and crashed my head. Schwartz said the officers also broke his glasses. Schwartz said he was then taken to the police station for one hour, released, and told he might be arrested later for disorderly conduct. The brigade member said the group would soon return to the dorm to "do some more agitation" and he had con- sidered pressing charges against the police but would "wait and see what they do. Ann Arbor police officials refused to confirm or deny the incident, saying only that they never arrested Schwartz but might charge him with disorderly conduct once they obtain a warrant. Sdh Arene !

The two men are 21-years-old and are from Detroit. Their names have not been released pending arraignment. ACCORDING TO AN employee at Dooley's, who asked to remain anonymous, a police officer was stan- ding outside of the bar on Maynard St. at 11:15 p.m. He said the officer was talking to a man in fron of a blue van. The Dooley's employee said three apparently drunk male friends came from around the corner of E. Liberty Ave. and Maynard St. and were walking towards Dooley's. One of the men bumped into the of- ficer, who then pushed him 'away.. Another member of the group of com- panions then walked around the rear side of the van and blindsided the of- ficer who was arguing with the man who bumped into him. The blow knocked the officer about half-way to the ground, according to the Dooley's employee. A police spokesman said the officer's hand was injured. THE OFFICER then grabbed the man who knocked him down and threw him to the cement sidewalk. The em- ployee said the man resisted and wouldn't stay down. In an effort'to calm him down, the officer hit the man over the head with his flashlight, cutting him just above the forehead, according to reports from the witness and police. The man was treated and released from University Hospital, police said. The officer finally pinned the man on the ground and handcuffed him, the employee continued. "The guy just wouldn't cooperate," the employee said. One of the men was charged with assaulting an officer while the other was arrested for obstructing and resisting an officer. Affirmative action law tough to enforce Broadway s Most Honored Play of the Season Winner of Four Tony Awards ~z~g m(Continue fromPage 1 ministrator Patrick Kenney. "We probably are discouraging some people from bidding." TREADWAY estimated about 30 or 40 per cent of the companies that bid on city contracts have racially or sexually unbalanced work forces. According to the law, firms must submit affirmative action plans to the city before a con- tract can be awarded. Treadway's estimate is "low," ac-' cording to Bill King, Assistant Director for Contract Compliance at the State Department of Civil Rights' Detroit of- fice. "Very few (companies), I'd say, have what we would like to think of as an op- timum number of minorities and women," King said. AFTER A FIRM is singled out as the lovwest bidder, it must fill out forms listing the number of women and minorities the company employs. Treadway, however, said he simply does not have enough staff members to verify the information firms provide. And so Treadway's department must trust companies to supply accurate data. But Treadway does not consider reliance on trust a major problem. "When it comes to putting their own signatures on something, they (com- pany executives) are not going to knowingly lie," he said., The staffing situation is more serious when it comes to verifying that com- pany promises to implement affir- mative action plans are carried out, Treadway explained. THE HUMAN Rights division often approves a contract automatically for a first-time bidderthat promises to enact an affirmative action plan, according to City Purchasing Director John Bergren, who negotiates citycontraets. But when the firm bids on another city contract, the city often finds that the contractor has made "no attempt to keep its promise," Bergren said. Rather than reject the bid of a firm that is racially or sexually unbalanced, the Human Rights division prefers to work with a company to help it create an affirmative action program, Tread- way said. BUT TREADWAY added he is not sure if City Council would accept the higher bidder which has the Human Rights division's approval over the lower bidder which does not. "People above us have different con- cerns," Treadway said. "They, have to make a decision as to whether it (af- firmative action) is worth the cost," he added. A spot check of. bidsheets sent to Council since January 1979 showed that 10 of 40 contracts approved were either, not endorsed by the Human Rights division or received the division's qualified approval. COUNCIL MEMBERS admit they rarely look into bids that received con- ditional approval by Human Rights, partly because the contracts are passed by Council with little discussion. While most bidders attempt to cooperate with the Human Rights division's request for information, one contractor, Data General Corporation of Westborough, Mass., refused to do so. "They didn't get Human Rights ap- proval and I didn't sign it," Treadway said. BUT THE CONTRACT was awarded anyway, because Data General was the only company able to do the job - fixing the city's downtown traffic con- trol computer. Data General designed the computer. Treadway said City Hall ad- ministrators told him, "If we don't go with them (Data General), then we don't get our system fixed." Although Treadway reports directly to the City Administrator's office, his refusal to approve Data General's racial mix was not recorded on the bid- sheet sent to Council. The ad- ministration also neglected to inform Council it was approving a bidder that had not received Human Rights' endor- sement. And none of the nine members of City Council contacted said they were aware that Data General had not been approved by Human Rights. "WE PROBABLY just plain didn't notice it. As far as your attention being brought to a problem (by the ad- ministration), no, it isn't," Leslie Morris, (D-Second Ward), said. Morris insisted, as did Clifford Sheldon (R-Third Ward), Edward Hood (R-Fourth Ward), and Greenberg, that Council would back up administration and the Personnel/Human Rights Department if they recommended that a company not be awarded a contract because it refused to institute affir- mative action. Affirmative action enforcement and municipal Human Rights activities have suffered nationwide due to the current recession, both Treadway and Chauncey said. "PEOPLE ACROSS the country ap- parently feel that that is one area they can do with fewer dollars and fewer people," Treadway said. Chauncey, who has been with the city 10 years as a Human Rights in- vestigator, said the recession is im- pairing affirmative action efforts because minorities and women are traditionally "lasthired, firstfired." Chauncey said companies citing the well-publicized Bakke case as an argument against affirmative action were just making excuses. "Their at- titude is, 'I'm tired of all this crap, all this paperwork," he said. Tomorrow: The Human Rights Com' mission. 'U' of Cincinnati profs strike CINCINNATI (AP) - Professors at the University of Cincinnati went on strike' for higher salaries yesterday, emptying many classrooms at down- town and suburban campuses and delaying midterm examinations for some of the 38,000 students at Ohio's second-largest school. "It's like a ghost campus, walking around here," said student government president Ali D'Arrigo. The American Association of Univer- sity Professors, representing 1,800 professors and assistant. professors, called the strike after failing to reach agreement with the administration on a new contract, UNION LEADER said they hoped as many as 900 professors would join the strike. University officials said they planned to keep the state-supported school open as usual. The strike came as parents in the Cincinnati School District were preparing to keep their children home today because of a one-day walkout by teachers to demonstrate the financial plight of the public schools. The system will close for several weeks in Novem- ber because of a budget shortage. The first visible sign of the university strike came when professors, who now' earn an average of $27,426 a year, 2 S na]cL nnLGE4- 375 N. MAPLE 769-1300 began walking picket lines at the *down- town campus, two suburban campuses, the medical school, and law school. SOME CLASSES were in session when the day started, but in others a handful of students waited the traditional 15 minutes for their professors and then left. About 34 per cent of 369 scheduled classes were held during the first two hours of the day, school officials said. ' "Of course, some professors told their students that they were not crossing picket lines, but would hold classes off campus," said Ken Servoie, a University spokesman. ABOUT 68 PER CENT of University of Cincinnati students commute to school. Thestrike touched off some parties in campus dormitories, but not all studen- ts were pleased. D'Arrigo said that if teachers were not back in the classrooms by Monday, student leaders ,would go to court seeking to force them back. She also said the students would seek tuition refunds if there is a prolonged strike. University officials said they hoped: an agreement could be reached through negotiations, which were to resume; again Thursday. The, administration rejected the ; teacher union's final contract proposal including a 19.5-per cent salary in- crease over two years. The school's latest package offered 15.4 per cent over two years.
