This definition of discrimina- tion has not been used in Michi- gan or federal law in over thirty years. Instead, the lawful defi- nition simply defines discrimi- nation as a case in which one in- dividual is paid considerably less than another who is performing the same job. PROBE has criticized the Uni- versity for its "inadequate proce- dures" for examining sex dis- crimination cases. Under present' *procedures, a person must first present her case to a "review by management" - held by her sup- ervisors, against whom the com- plaint is usually lodged. After the management review, a case may be appealed under a spe- cial appeal procedure which is used only in cases of alleged dis- crimination. Such a review is carried out by a three-person board - one se- lected by the complainant from a group chosen by Fleming, another chosen by the complainant's sup- ervisor, and the third chosen by the first two members. According to PROBE'S com- plaint, the appeal procedure is not equitable because the com- plainant may select only one of the board members - one chosen from a group selected by Fleming which is composed predominately of white male full professors. According to Nordin, the appeal Court rules Legislature may not limit 'U' authority procedure is "fairly good." She stresses that more members, in- cluding women, are currently be- ing added to the group chosen by: Fleming. But this, she adds, doesn't ade-t quately counteract the fact that many women don't want to go through the management review, in order to get to the appeal pro- cedure. "Women are strongly frowned upon by their supervisors for mak- ing complaints," she said. The PROBE complaint cites the University retirement program as another example of sex discrimi- nation. The program, for professional, academic and administrative staff, pays women retirement benefits which are consistently lower than those paid to men. According to Jack Hamilton, di- rector of University relations, this,, is because women live longer than men. Therefore, in order that the same amount of money be allo- cated per person after retiremnent, the annual rate for women is less than that for men. However, PROBE points out. no differentiation is made for ethnic!I groups which have different life ' expectancies than whites. Other charges made by PROBE include: -The ratio of female professors to the total number of professors is projected to increase over a three-year period by only 2.1 pet cent, which seems insignificant in' view of the University's public commitment to "vigorously re- cruit" women; and -As of May 24, the University had already promoted a much ' higher percentage of males than they had projected, while the per- centage of promotions for women was much lower. (C otinued froi Page 1 1 ment on the ground rules for state control. I'm glad to see this clari-' fication so that the Legislature can't go any further." Smith said that over the past 100 years, all questions of Univer- sity autonomy from state control have been decided in favor of the University. 1 "After the new (state) constitu- tion was drawn up in 1963." he said, "the ground rules had to be laid again. That's why the suit was pursued." IAi the late sixties, concern over funds and student unrest led the Legislature to attach a number of stipulations to appropriations bills. Those provisions, now removed by Salmon's ruling said: -Universities with out-of-state enrollments totalling over 20 per cent of their student body couldE not increase the numbers or per- centages of out-of-state students over the 1969-70 totals; -Out-of-state students must pay tuition equal to approximately 75 per cent of the cost of their instruction; -No state funds may be used to pay a faculty member or edu- cate a student convicted ofinter- fering with the normal operations of the University; and -Students causing willful dam- age to campus property were to be expelled. Salmon said that the "line item" budgeting process - in which ap- propriations are broken down into allocations for individual Univer- sity units, could not be required of the three universities. Once money is appropriated, he said, it may be spent as the uni- versities see fit, except for rea- sonable legislative restrictions. Salmon, however, upheld sec- tions which required the universi- ties to provide the Legislature with budget information, as long as the: restrictions don't interfere with normal university operations. Commenting on information made available last night, Univer- sity Attorney Roderick Daane said,. "It sounds like the University has won." However, Daane said he wished to study the ruling as "there are a couple of ideas I can't reconcile." "If the judge says the Legisla- ture can attach stipulations, well, that's what the suit is all about." Smith ,said the ruling "would not cause a marked change" im- mediately. Fee levels, he said, had always been determined by a differential for out-of-state and in-state stu- dents. Enrollment levels, he added, have been the result of decisions in the schools and colleges. Although restrictions on capital outlay would be maintained, Smith said, "We've been able to worl quite well, except for the fact that there are no funds available tc build."

Bella Abzug (D-N.Y.) told the crowd. "And you are going to defeat Richard Nixon - if you put your strength together with women, blacks, chicanos, Puerto Ricans and all people who were victimized. by Nixon's corporate economic pol- icies," she said. Yet, less than 24 hours after Abzug's speech, the black caucus had left the conference in protest and the mass plenary sessions had bogged down with disagreements and dissension. This left less than 500 students to complete the formation of the caucus Sunday morning. The conference's breakdown came as students and various mi- nority groups began objecting to the broad nature of the confer- ence. The black caucus urged the body's adoption of several de-. mands, one which called for 50 per cent of the students seated on all NYC committees to be non- white. In addition, many delegates pressed for the body's considera- tion of specific issues such as abortion reform or the legalization of marijuana. Yet, the organizers of the con- ference-who included the leaders of the Association of Student Gov- ernments (ASG) and supporters of Here's a Great Opportunity for Unusual Holiday Gifts MUSIC OF CHRISTMAS BY MAIL ORDER- 2 BEAUTIFUL RECORDS Volumes 1 and 2 Familiar Carols and Joyous Christmas Music of Many Centuries This pair of records contains 22 different works with much mu- sical variety in exciting stereo sound.-A memorable experience with music.
