We, the undersigned members of the University community
call on the University Administration to negotiate with the Gradu-
ate Employees' Organization (GEO) on Affirmative Action. GEOC
has proposed that the University implement an Affirmative Action
program for graduate employees with definite goals and time-
tables for increasing the number of women and minority members
of the GEO bargaining unit. The University is publicly committed
to Affirmative Action and has a general Affirmative Action pro-
gram. However, graduate employees are not included. We feel
the University should negotiate with GEO to arrive at an equit-
able Affirmative Action program for all of its employees. -
As a major education institution, the University should take
the initiative to overcome past practices that excluded or under-
utilized competent minorities and women. For example, HEW dis-
covered that some unversities "have failed to advertise in media
which would reach the minority and female communities, or have
relied on personal contacts and friendships which have had the
effect of excluding from consideration women and minority group
persons." At this University there are only 28% women, 4% Black
American, and less than 13% Chicano, Asian American, and Native
American graduate employees. Even in terms of present Rackham
enrollment rates-35% women and 8% Black Americans-there is
significant underrepresentation of women and minorities.
II
The University has stated that "one of the most important
components of the University's 'good faith efforts' is directed at
increasing the pool of professional women and minorities." There-
fore the University should negotiate with GEO on Affirmative Ac-
tion for its graduate employees.
One of the worst aspects of discrimination has been that in
times of recession women and minorities have always borne the
heaviest burden of unemployment. And even in the present reces-
sion the argument has been heard that Affirmative Action pro-
grams should be jettisoned. In fact Affirmative Action is an essen-
tial component of any program to maintain jobs for all and to
combat unemployment. The real solution to unemployment is that
proposed by the increasing number of organizations who demand
that the government should combat recession and provide jobs
for all.
Under the Health, Education, and
Welfare guidelines on
Affirmative Action, the University is legally required to develop
goals and timetables for overcoming the underrepresentation of
minorities and women in all job classifications. We call on the
University as a major educational institution and employer to re-
spond to the GEO initiative and negotiate on an Affirmative Action
program now!

Diplomat calls for
ocean law reform
By MARY DEMPSEY
Current laws governing the
use of the world's oceans are1
inadequate, and if they are not
improved, the situation could
lead to international conflict,
according to U.S. Ambassador
John Stevenson.
Stevenson is the U.S. govern-
ment 's representative to the;
"Law of the Sea Conference"
sponsored by the United Nations
General Assembly to establish
rules for the use and ownership
of the oceans.
"WE HAVE had a dramatic
change in the use of ocean
space," Stevenson told a group
gathered in the Lawyer's Club
Lounge last Thursday. "We
don't have an unlimited amount

of time. We do have a situation
in which-if we do not get in-
ternational agreement-there is
a risk of conflict."
Citing new industry such as
off-shore drilling and the rise of
large nuclear-powered vessels,
Stevenson stressed the need for
revised ocean laws.
Also, Stevenson pointed out
that there are many new coun-
tries that do not benefit by the
current regulations.
"OUR ATTITUDE is not nec-
essarily staying where we are
. . . we may have to give a
little because we have a very
great interest in achieving a
generally acceptable treaty," he
said of the U.S. position at the
sea conference.
The conference, drawing rep-
resentatives from 138 countries,
held an initial session during
July and August last year. Fur-
ther talks, are scheduled for
March, April, and May.
The upcoming meetings will
probably focus on regulation of
the open seas and new controls
on shipping, security, pollution,
and scientific research.
PRO'S OFFER ADVICE:
Medical group
plans career day
By GLEN ALLERHAND
Unemployment lines may be
getting longer every day, but
at least one group is promoting
a multitude of job opportunities.
The Institute for the Study of
Mental Retardation and Related
Disabilities (ISMRRD) is spon-
soring a career information
session today, under the banner
of "Everything You Always
Wanted to Know About, But
Didn't Know Who to Ask."
THROUGH this program,ISM-
RRD intends to present informa-
tion to college students whose
ambitions lie in various fields,
including social work, medicine
and mental health. The institute
promotes its program as a
"unique opportunity for college
students to discuss career in-
formation with leading profes-
sionals who are actively en-
gaged in their fields."
According to Sally Abelson, a
rehabilitation counselor at ISM-
RRD, there will be a 25-minute
presentation and a 25-minute
question and answer period for
each area of study.
"It will be a staggered sched-
ule and presentations will be
going on through the day," she
said.
VARIOUS local clinicians and
faculty will show slide-tape pro-
ductions or movies, will lead
panel discussions and will lec-
ture.
"I think it's going to be a real
wide variety," Abelson com-
mented. "Each discipline has
put together a fact sheet that
we'll give out to people who
are interested."
ISMMRD is a University af-
filiated facility. It provides
clinical and community services
which include diagnosis, consul-
tation and research regarding
mental retardation.
"WE ARE A training institute
with an interdisciplinary set-
ting. We have students from all
the different areas to do their
training," Abelson said.
Today's program takes place
at ISMRRD, 130 S. First St.,
with topic discussions running
from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
