"One of the most positive things
about this job is trying to help women
with their problems," says Clair Rumel-

Avcate.
tions on the third floor of the Union,
Rumelhart works in many capacities
for all women connected with the Uni-
versity-
Her official position is Women's Ad-
vocate, one of four "advocate" posi-
tions created in September by the Of-
fice of Student Organizations. The posi-
tions were created to help student
groups "get through bureaucratic chan-
nels." .
Rumeihart's job brings her in con-
tactc witost of the women's groups
on campus
"I don't see myself as a spokeswo-
man for all women's groups," Rumel-
hart says, however. "I'm trying to
something."
In addition to gatthering, maintaining
and distributing information relating to
women and women's groups, Rumelhart
counsels all women or organizations
who request her aid.
Rumeihart says she considers her po-
sition as a "positive input to the ad-
ministration." However, she adds, she
must balance this role with her posi-
tion as an advocate for women on cam-
pus.
"But my first responsibility is to my
constituency-the women on campus,"
she says. "Advocate means dealing
with another group from a biased posi-
tion."
Recently Rumelhart has been in-
volved in activities aimed at the repeal
of Michigan's abortion law. She says
most of her energy has been directed
toward informing women about today's
demonstration in Lansing demanding
the repeal of the state's abortion laws.
"I see total repeal of Michigan's
abortion laws as imperative in the
struggle for women to control their own
bodies," she says.
Rumelhart and other women on cam-
pus have also been gathering informna-
tion and formulating proposals for a
female studies program.
The program, according to Rumel-
hart, would provide both academic and
non-academic courses to be taken for
Inaddition, Rumelhart has been
working with women's liberation groups
on campus.
,"I don't see the women's lib move-
ment as dead," she comments. "It has
a different orientation. It's reaching
out, broadening, as well as working
internally."

THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION (FTC) has taken action
to partially stop the distribution of more than 14 million plastic-
encased razor blades in newspaper advertising supplements in over
a dozen major cities.
The FTC issued the unfair trade complaint against the Phillip Mor-
rsGeryasdThain, of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection, said the'
FTC had received numerous complaints that the razor blades' had in-
jured a number of children who got the advertising insert before their
parents could put it out of their reach.
The decision to seek an injunction, against what FTC general coun-1
sel Joseph Martin termed "an imminent danger to health and safety,"
is unprecedented in the commission's 60-year history,.

ATTY- GEN. JOHN MITCHELL said yesterday the Justice
Dept. is studying ways to limit a defendant's right of appeal;.
"If our justice system is going to deter crime, each case must have
a predictable time when it can be said with finality, 'this man is inno-
cent or guilty' and, if he is guilty, 'this man must now pay the pen-
alty,' " Mitchell said.
Limiting appeals and other legal tactics that can delay execution
of a sentence was among three proposals Mitchell put forward in what
he termed a prmgram to deliver a "knockout blow" to organized crime.

"These kind of discussions have
some value," he said in an inter-
