Page Ten THE MICHIGAN DAILY Tuesday, February 4, 1975 I Ji iA _ ! 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! G I i I 1 ,a i I i i I i Ii 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 Hairstyling for the Whole Family Appointments Available DASCOLA BARBER- STYLISTS Arborland-971 -9975 MaolviVllae--761-2733 E. Liberty-668-9329 E. university-662-0354 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. Lorraine Lafeita Rosemary Mack Barbara Coleman Sandra Pungor Catherine Ditkoff Lori Tennenhouse Mary Jo Husband Elizabeth Scala Kathleen Kolar William Durham Nancy Grosso Liz Meese Norma Ware Linda Garnets Laurie Levinger Linda Saiger Margaret Lourie Zsuzsanne Molnar Thomas Shneiter Sara Lincoln Nancy Conklin Michele Becker Catherine Calder Barbara Weinstein David Simen Carolyn Daitch Katie Wallace Davi&Brassfield Katherine Kush Thomas Kush Ned Rosen Andy Stephenson Bruce La Zeite Leigh Taylor H.
