Craig Hall talks of

(Continued from Page 1)
Harold Harger represent the re-
spective choices of Clark and the
University.
In his opening statement, Ed-
wards' charged last night that the
case centers on the question of
salary discrimination based on
sex. He also charged that the
"gross salary inequities violate
section one of the University's af-
firihative action programs which
stipulates that the University will
establish salary equity for all em-
ployes in the same job classifica-
tion.
Edwards also said that the Clark
case may reveal a "pattern of dis-
crimination" in tle Highway Re-
search Institute and the other
science and technology institutions
of which HRSI is a part.
"Whether or not a pattern is
found," Edwards said, "we feel it
is clear HRSI and the University
have violated the directives of its
own affirmative action program."
The University last year adopted
an affirmative action plan design-
ed to achieve equity in employ-
mpent practices following an in-
vestigation by the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare.

Lemmer, in his opening statement,
said "the University does not con-
done sex discrimination."
"The University's position in this
case," Lemmer continued, "is that
Miss Clark's salary did not result
because of her sex but because of
the application of standards used
by Highway Research administra-
tion for all employes, regardless
of sex."
He maintained that this par-
ticui ar case does not involve Fhe
concept of equal pay for equal
work.

about a year ago. Their friendship
eventually developed into a 50-50
partnership in Hall Management.
Presently, the company owns
approximately 280 units in the
Ypsilanti area and 20 units in the
Ann Arbor area. Hall says the
company is presently trying to
sell the smaller Ann Arbor com-
plexes to totally devote itself to
the larger units in the Ypsilanti
area. This, the owners explain, is
because "you cannot, for a 12 unit
building like 939 Dewey, supply the
kind of services that people want."

Degreening of the 'U'

(Continued from Page 4) j
this year's legislature decides to
support? .. . or
Should the University more pro-
perly regard itself as a resource,
providing a reservoir from which
the individual may draw what he1
may need, or wish, to better at-
tain his own objectives-whatever;
they may be? Should it, rather,
see itself as a part of a hierar-
chical system of education where
the student can find, develop and
test his talent by meeting other
students from all countries and
walks of life, which the more re-
stricted community from which he
came, was unable to provide? 1
If the answer lies wholly in the
first category the decisions will
not be as difficult as they will
be if the answer is in the second.
In the former, the direction is1
well-defined, whereas, acceptance,
of the latter is only to state the
problem. If a hybrid of both cate-
gories, the proportion remains to1
be defined.
ONE FURTHER problem re-,
quiring more exact definition is
the State versus Federal responsi-
bilities of the University. Whether
we like it or not, we are cast'
in these dual roles and even
though some of our decisions may'
require compromises in one of
them with respect to the other,
to ignore either constituency, or
our larger responsibility towards
the students of the state, would
both be unacceptable solutions.
The productivity of higher ed-
ucation is also a-feature of the'
budgetary news nowadays, both at
the university and departmental
levels. In this, as in many other
related matters, we cling to out-
moded concepts in regarding pro-
ductivity simply in terms of the
total number of students turned
out by X faculty at a cost of Y
dollars and there is a continuing
clamor from the legislature as to
the reasons for the increasing
cost of a constant 'productivity'.
There is, of course, every rea-
son to continue to analyze and,
evaluate our teaching methods in

the direction of instilling even
more rapid independence in our
students but, at the same time,
we must not lose sight of the fact
that 'productivity' in the "know-
ledge industry" is not only a mat-
ter of numbers but, equally, of the
potential and capacity to create
and produce in a chosen field.
By any index, I believe that the
universities of this country have
been, and remain, highly success-
ful in this regard and it would be
an interesting exercise to docu-
ment this assertion.
FINALLY, let us return briefly
to the problem of an aging facul-
ty. One possible partial solution is
that of voluntary early semi-re-
tirement. I believe that there are
some faculty who would welcome
the opportunity to continue their
writing and scholarship in a semi-
retired fashion i.e., removed from
the day to day administration and
teaching which their full par-
ticipation would require, provided
their financial loss was not ex-
cessive.
It should not prove too difficult
for the University to contribute
some fraction of a professor's sal-
ary, in addition to his normal re-
tirement benefits, in such a way
that eventual retirement will not
be to his financial loss.
In this way the University
should be able to save sufficient
money to appoint an assistant
professor at -about half of the full
professor's salary. Given the prob-
lems of the next five years there
may be many more of us than now
seem likely, who are not only will-
ing, but anxious, to avail them-
selves of such an opportunity.
IT MIGHT appear that I am
pessimistic for the future., On the
contrary, I believe that our prob-
lems are presenting us with a
breathing space in which to evalu-
ate our programs critically, to re-
examine our overall philosophy
and to renew our faith in higher
education as a humanizing ac-
tivity.

"Services" Hall provides for ten-
ants in the Ypsilanti area include
a Saturday shopper's bus, a hot-
dogs night and a Suds bus every
Friday and Saturday night from
the apartments to Bimbo's and the
Village Inn, so that tenants "can
do thp drinking and leave the driv-
ing to us", they explain.
The company also provides
"Scotty's Club," an entertainment-
recreation lounge with pool tables,
pinball machines and refrigera-
tors for alcoholic beverages. Club
profits are reinvested into the club.
The company also proudly claims
that last year they were the larg-
est student property management
company in the Ypsilanti area to
be completely filled up.
And Hall adds, "it's amazing
how people have responded to the
little kindnesses we've done for
them."
RSG faces
election suit
(Continued from Page 1)
wait until I see the ballot."
He now contemplates either fil-
ing suit with CSJ charging, RSG
with illegal election procedures or
filing a suit claiming he has been
disenfranchised, in the event he
does not receive a ballot.
Slaughter's initial suit included
charges that:
-RSG failed to provide a "dis-
interested" election board and
rules committee;
-RSG illegally postponed the
election which should have occur-
ed last fall; and
-The election is invalid since
there are no stipulations in the
Student Government Council elec-
tion code for a mail ballot.
CSJ responded by issuing an
"advisory opinion" informing RSG
of their duty to follow the guide-
lines listed in the election code.
Dan Fox, president of RSG, of-
fered no "battle plan" upon hear-
ing of the possible second suit.
"It's too early to tell," he said,
"and we can't react to a hypo-
thetical situation."

Looking
at PESC
courses
(Continued from Page 1)
to complete certain readings as
well as make a report of their
findings.
Political science Prof. Archie
Singham is one of a number of
professors who have opened their
courses, through PESC, to mem-
bers of the community. Both his
previously offered courses in
"Problems of Political Develop-
ment" and "Black Politics" are
crowded now, but Singham notes1
that only in "Black Politics" does
the influx seem to be from the
community.
Despite the crowding of his
courses, Singham says, "I don't
allow a classroom size to deter-
mine a person's education: I ask
for a larger room."
Singham says one of his best
experiences from PESC occurred
when a non-student who sat in on
a class approached him afterwards
and announced his intention to
enroll in the University.
One of the problems introduced
by the PESC program, according
to Singham, is a phenomenal in-
crease in independent study re-
quests.
Spokespeople at the PESC of-
fice predict PESC will expand and
continue in coming terms. Sing-
ham expresses hope that during
the summer the program's mem-
bers could work to alleviate the
problems which have arisen as the
program grows.
