' ve ''' ;r, CommitteeV dds new Positions
By PAUL TERWILLIGER
Student Government Council re-'
vamped the present organization
of its controversial office of Mi-
nority Affairs during last night's
meeting.
The present directorships underi
the vice president for minority af-1
fairs were replaced by a minority
affairs committee that includes po-4
sitionls- for religious, ethnic and+
sexual groups as, well as racial
minorities:
THE PROPOSAL, according toa
sponsor SGC member David Faye,;
was to "simplify the organization"1
of minority affairs groups related
to SGC, and to expand the repre-;
sentationp of the committee to in-
clude a wider variety of minorities

The final statement sent to the "All TFs are not paid the same
TFs read: "We strongly urge that wages," said Kaplan. "There is
the TFs demand that tuition be' no standardization within the Uni-
frozen." versity."
Organizer Ann Bobroff assured KAPLAN went on to explain that
on campis.
Faye claimed the minority af-
fairs committee defined in the
SGC compiled code allowed for
a maximum of two appointments
to that body to be. made per term.
Former SGC President Lee Gill's
administration felt more positions
were needed, and created advisory
staff in charge of minority affairs
instead of altering the code.
FAYE CLAIMED that this was
actally illegal and the new com-
mittee would in effect legalize it.
An amendment was proposed by
Mat Hoffman that would ban voting
for all assistant directors of the
new committee without vote.
According to Hoffman, the as-
sistant directors "would outnumber
all the other minority representa-
tives put together," and thus would
overwhelm the council.
The amendment failed.
THE MAIN MOTION was passed
almost unanimously in what may
have been the quietest SGC session
in months.
After the meeting had adjourned,
some of the members of the abol-
ished minority affairs committee
challenged Faye concerning his
proposal.
the students that the TFs would
try to cover all class material miss-
ed during a strike, and assured
them also that a demand was
added to prohibit penalization of
striking students.
The meeting began quietly, with
in the fall their demands were ver-
bally met only when the GE9
threatened to go on strike.
"The one tactic that that makes
the University pay attention to us
is when we talk about strike," said
Bobroff.
