CLAIM 30% SUPPORT:
Profs at EMU
ask for union
By GERI SPRUNG
Eastern Michigan University (EMU) faculty members
have filed a petition asking for an election to designate a
collective bargaining unit to represent them.
If the petition contains the signatures of at least 30 per
cent of the faculty, the Michigan Employment Relations
Commission (MERC) will set up elections to select a bargain-
ing unit. The petition was filed by the EMU chapter of
American Association of University Professors (AAUP).
If thel election takes place as expected, three or four
organizations will probably be on the ballot contending for
the position of bargaining agent. The faculty would also
have the option of rejecting unionization.
So far, AAUP appears to be the leading contender for the

additional
military aid
WASHINGTON (P) - The
White House is expected to ask
Congress within the next two
weeks- for between $750 million
and $1 billion in extra money for
foreign military aid, according to
the Washington Post.
About $500 million in the sup-
plemental money bill will be for
financing credit sales to Israel, the
Post said in this morning's edi-
tions.
Quoting administration sourc-
es, the newspaper said other
beneficiaries would be Cambodia,
South Korea, Taiwan, Jordan,
Greece and T u r k e y. Cambodia
would get about $120 million in
new military aid.
The Post added that the United
States hopes to compensate for
U.S.troop withdrawals in South
Korea with more money to im-
prove the combat capabilities of
that nation's armed forces.
It said that the planned money
request was the "first big install-

position. The Michigan Feder-
ation of Teachers and the
Michigan Association of High-
er Education are also expected
to be on the ballot.
These two organizations have
also been gathering support for
the union and AAUP chapter
President Maurice Laney said that
with all the groups combined, 60
to 75 per cent of the faculty is in
favor of a union.
EMU Faculty Senate has taken
no stand on the unionization issue.
Senate President George Cameron
said the Senate has not endorsed
any of the organizations. As yet,
the Senate has not decided wheth-,
er to offer itself as a possible bar-!
gaining agent or to oppose union-
ization, he added.
Laney said he believes a union
is necessary. "There is a lack of
respect for dignity and basic con-
stitutional rights of some of the
faculty by the administration," he
said.
Laney claimed that psychology

Hollister based his findings on a series
of tests performed on student volunteers
who had used marijuana, but were not
chronic users -of the drug. The THC was
extracted from the marijuana, then ad-
ministered orally.
Dr. Sidney Cohen, of the National In-
slitute of Mental Health in Chevy Chase,
Md., attempted to explain the rise of drug
abuse.
"It is a flight from reason," he said, "at
a time when reason and logic have pre-
sented us with perplexing problems."
He said he dreamed of a time when
"drug-popping would become irrelevant."
In addition, he dealt with other hallu-
cinogens, among them phenethylamines
(mescaline), glycolate esters (ditran), and
THC.
The five doctors then took part in a
panel discussion and were asked questions
by the audience. Most of the questions
dealt with the legalization of marijuana.
Dr. Domino said that he thought the
legalization of the drug should depend on
dosage, since the dosage determines the
effect. He also said that if it were totally
legalized the production of stronger mari-
juana derivatives (such as hashish) would
be an easy matter.
