members, "but it's more than
the community ever thought we
would get, and it's certainly
more than the University;

he said. "We would have been!

GEO leaders said yesterday'
that while they did not win the
monumental contract they or-
iginally promised their menm-
bers, they gained favorable pro-
visions on the issues they con-}1
sidered most important, and'
voiced their intentions to push
for more in the future.
"We've gotten most of the3
things the membership really
wants," said Gordon. "I think
the contract is a very good be-a
ginning. We didn't get every-
thing we wanted but no union
ever does, especially the first
time around.
"WE WON very strong union
security," he continued. "We1
won a strong non-discrimina-
tion clause but not as strong
as we would have liked. I'ma
sure next time around we'll be
pushing for more categories in,
that clause, like non-discrimi-

beliefs.
"We have the beginnings of a ,1

think we did what our consti-
tuency wanted. What we're do-

the University implements our '

Yesterday, poverty and hun-
ger in the United States were
the topics of another Food Week
activity, located in the Public
Health Auditorium. Four speak-
ers, with various points of
view, discussed the successes;
and failures of the government's
food programs.
S"I FEEL the programs have
served a good purpose and have
been quite responsive to the
people's needs," said Stephen
Hiemstra from the U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
In response, Jeff Kirsh from
Food Action Research blasted
Hiemstra declaring the pro-3
grams are "terribly flawed."

law which is to prevent fraudu-
lent voting.
IN RESPONSE to the Attor-
ney General's contention of il-
legality The Voter Registration
Committee, a group working
for the passage of the voter bal-
lot proposal, cited the Michigan
Home Rule Act in defense of
the proposal:
"The Home Rule Act states
that, 'Each City Charter shall
provide for the manner and
means of the registration of
voters.' This is the purpose of
our Charter Amendment pro-
posal."
The committee further em-
phasized, "Systems similar to
the voter registration proposal
have been used in various
states and nations with no evi-
dence of a fraud problem.
Canada has registrars canvass
virtually every household and
have registered 98 per cent of
qualified voters.'
HOWEVER, Porter was quick
to point out that door-to-door
voter registration is not in itself
illegal but, "The entire system
they devised for doing it is," in
reference to the local ballot pro-
posal.
Porter added, "The interest
expressed by the petitioners in
the increased registration of
voters is laudatory."
