City works for. solutions t( EDITOR'S NOTE: The following ar- ticle is the last in a two-part series examining the growing problems of transportation in Ann Arbor. By ROBERT SCHREINER The problem of too many cars in Ann Arbor is a critical one, but the city is not at a loss for solutions-ranging all the way from "rumble strips" to monorails. Despite a tight financial crisis, city of- ficials still list parking and transportation problems high on their list of priorities. And with well over 150,000 cars circu- lating through the city every day, nearly everyone here feels the pinch in the form of insufficient parking spaces, and se- vere traffic congestion. But transportation problems extend further-to limited public transport al- ternatives, lack of road improvement, an- tiquated parking ordinances and poor city planning in general. atranspor ta In a number of ways, city officials are City Council recentlya trying to solve these problems. Presently, for a transportation study, expensive studies are being conducted to imately $35,000, which v deal with certain specifics of parking and parking, mass transportat transportation.

Most city officials agree that, although perhaps one more carport may be con- structed in the downtown area if the study deems it feasible, destination perking is virtually at an end. In fact, John Robbins, director of traf- fic engineering and transportation, says, "it is a fairly safe assumption that even- tually there won't be any on-street park- ing at all. On-street parking will be elim- inated to make way for growing traffic." But Robbins and other officials would like to keep the growing traffic at a min- imum.

The subcommittee, which last week completed a survey of 1,800 female University employes and their supervisors, was aimed at evaluating the University's goals and time- tables for increased hiring of women in various departments. The resultant data showed that many women are "dis- satisfied" with the goals, as well as with existing procedures ' h iing unfair Friday I fill High sources Lillie to Court, report for advancement established Judge sets bail for militant NEW YORK (P) - In a bed- side arraignment, black militant H.

The. i program, intended to ensure equal treatment of women on campus, was adopted by the University . last January when the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) demanded that the Univer- sity end discrimination against women in its hiring practices. HEW withheld $350,000 in fed-' eral contracts until an accept-r able affirmative action plan was developed.x According to the subcommittee's report, "no one thought the af- firmative action goals' were parti- cularly affirmative." Y The subcommittee-also known as a "cluster group" made a number of suggestions to the Uni- versity which it felt would im- prove the status of female em- ployes. : Thesetsuggestions include: -Posting all available jobs for women in one central place; -Making written descriptions of all jobs, so that job duties can be clearly defined; -Recruiting men as well as wo- MEMBERS OF THE newly organized Temporary Employes Associ men for clerical positions; night. -Improving personnel proced- ures which control the advance- ment of women; andI -Cnstantly considering foro higher level jobs, those women who are placed in jobs below their level of competence or education.

The source told reporters that Nixon would make the nomination to the Senate today. In addition, a separate source said he has information that Nix- on will nominate Judge Mildred Lillie of Los Angeles to fill the other seat, but this report remains unconfirmed. The White House, however, said Nixon has not made a decision on the nominations. Friday and Lillie were last week reported to be the leading pros- pects for the nominations shortly after they were included on a list of six possible candidates submit- ted by Nixon to the American Bar Association's (ABA) Committee on the Judiciary for investigation of their qualifications. Friday, 49, is widely known in the South as a municipal bond at- torney and as a lawyer for schcool boards in desegregation cases. He, is a conservative Democrat. Lillie, 56 has been a California state appeals court judge since 1958 and altogether has had 24 years of judicial experience. Up to this time no woman has ever been nominated to serve on the Supreme Court. When reporters asked W h i t e House deputy press secretary Gen- eral Warren about the report of the choices Warren referred to an earlier statement of no decision and said "That stands." Warren declined to comment on whether the White House has re- ceived word from the ABA on the list of six possible nominees. Two senators have criticized the list indicating a Senate battle over nomination of any of them. The senators are Edward Kennedy (D- Mass.) and Birch Bayh (D-Ind.) both members of the Judiciary Committee which considers the nominations before sending them on to the full Senate. Kennedy termed the list of nom- inees "one of the greatest insults to the Supreme Court in its his- tory."
