may
strike for rent demands
By LORIN LOBARDEE
A massive rent strike by the
Pontiac Heights Ad Hoc Tenants'
'Union (PHAHTU) may take place
if their demands are not met by
the Board of Dirsectors of the co-
operative there.
According to Ann Desautels, a
spokesman for PHAHTU, the
members of the Tenants Union
(TU), will decide on whether or
not to strike at a mass meeting to
be held tomorrow.
The rent strike will be consid-
ered if action is not taken on the
TU demands but David Romain, a
vice president of the Pontiac
Heights Housing cooperative said
that the Board of Directors of the
Cooperative was never presented
with the demands. "They never
placed those demands formally to
the Board," he said. Jim Madden,
another member of the Tenant's
Union, however, stated that he
personally gave Romain the de-
mands at Romain's home on Sat-
urday.
Among the demands asked for
is the list of 150 names of fami-
lies who are supposedly slated for
eviction, which TU says is held by
the Board of Directors of the Co-
operative.
The Tenant's Union is also de-
manding documentation that pres-

qualified applicants are admitted
without regard to sex. Hence, the
"women's admission p o l i c y" is
cast in terms of continuing non-
discrimination, rather than em-
bodying a specific program to re-
cruit' and admit women to law
school.
McCauley says he devotes "very
little" special attention to women's
applications. "I've become scrupu-

there any sex bias in this one, one
way or another?-you can't answer
for your secret subconscious pre-
judicts," he says, "but you try to
do the best you can."
McCauley has no information of
the number of women applicants
to the school for this year, but it
will be prepared for next year.,
While administrators say they
treat all applicants equally, ac-
cording to the "Admissions Office
Report" of the Law School this
year, the women first-year stu-
dents admitted in 1970 had over
two-tenths higher grade point av-
erages and scored 28 points higher
on their Law. School Admissions
Test (LSAT) than the freshman
average.
The admissions process itself, as
outlined by McCauley, is based on
a compilation of data which has
been designed to predict those who
will be "successful" in Law School,
success being defined exclusively
as a higher law school grade point
average achieved. The prediction
index consists of Law School Ad-
mission Test scores and adjusted
grade point averages in college,
as well as weighing for caliber of
the applicant's alma mater.
A University law professor has
found that presently women as a
whole tend to get slightly lower
grades than men all other factors
constant, the reverse of what sta-
tistically used to be true.
With regard to a law school ad-
missions dean working under a
completely "objective" numerical
prediction system, Forsyth says
that if "one's goal is admitting the
people who are going to get the
best grades, then to admit the man
over the woman because that's
the way our statistics work, well,
that is sex discrimination clear
and simple."
