The OCC filed the charge in October 1977 claiming the University had inter- fered with its right to organize a clerical union on campus. The charge stemmed from an incident at the Business Administration Building when OCC members attempted to meet for lunch with other clericals in a staff lounge to discuss union programming. MEANWHILE, the University has filed an appeal of MERC's recon- sideration of the case. University lawyer William Lemmer said yester- day that he didn't know what further action the University would take as it has not received a decision from MERC. On August 16, 1977, MERC Ad- ministrative Law Judge Bert Wicking found the University not guilty of the unfair labor practice (ULP) and recommended the charge be dismissed. The OCC then filed an appeal, stating that Wicking was incorrect, and the case warranted further information. MERC ruled in late December to uphold the OCC appeal, stating that an employer may not bar employees from "union solicitation during their own time, especially in non-working areas." This decision applies to all other public employees in Michigan under the Public Employment Relations Act. OCC CHAIRWOMAN Marianne Jen- sen said the OCC "will continue to exist and function, giving material to other University labor organizations in their ongoing fight against the University." Jensen said the OCC has also filed a challenge with MERC on the results of a November 17th campus-wide clerical election, charging the University with obstructing the OCC's organizing effor- ts prior to and during the election. The November election was to decide if campus clerical workers wanted to be represented by a union. The proposal to form a union was defeated. JENSEN SAID the OCC feels the University's request for recon- sideration of the case is "just one more in a series of calculating use of stalling tactics to thwart what the OCC sees as employee organizing rights." "Specifically, we hope to do whatever we can to support the possible AFSCME (American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees) strike in March, and we'll be moving on to reorganize in the next year. The OCC feels that the need for union is still there, as wages and working conditions are still going to deteriorate," said Jen- sen. Solve Your Summer Job W orris Now!

Mandel's term ends Wednesday, when Harry R. Hughes, elected Nov. 7, is to take over. Lee said yesterday in an interview with WDVM-TV in Washington: Frankly, I'm very pleased ... I celled Governor Mandel,.who apparen- tly only minutes before had been told ... the outcome of the appeal, and who was positively bubbling with ex- citement, the like of which I've never heard in him before."

STATE STREET,2 DAILY 9-6-761-2011 e.l, 0 technical errors in the trial in a Baltimore federal court. It said the jury was not properly instructed about bribery law in connection with the mail fraud charges. The failure, the court said, "leads us to the cdnclusion that.the jury may easily have been misled." The trial jury found that the defen- dants were involved in a scheme in which Mandel received gifts and favors in return for trying to get the 1972 Maryland General Assembly to ap- prove a bill that would have benefitted the other defendants' secret holdings in the Marlboro Race Track. The court said that in order for the jury to find Mandel guilty, it should have been told it had to determine that Mandel knew of the true ownership of the race track at the time race track legislation was before the Legislature. If the governor did not know their identities, the appeals court said, "he could hardly have participated with specific intent ... in a scheme to defraud that involved the misrepresen- tation or concealment of the names of the true owners."
