employes. UAW represents mostly
industry. Why do they suddenly
come here into a public sector?
AFSCME is the union to represent
these people; it's our business."
But CCFA members favor the,
UAW because 'they like the union's'
strength and its reputation. They
also believe the UAW is a union
the University administration will
not take lightly.
"I don't think AFSCME has
treated their people here very
well," Klein said last night.
THE CONFLICT between the
two factions promises to thicken in
toVA V * M
the future, since both groups are
opening offices for their organiza-
tions within the next week.
At last night's meeting, both
AFSCME and UAW information
was distributed to the audience.
The final choice will be up tc
the entire body of clericals if they
vote for unionization in a Mich-
igan Employment Relations Com-
mission (MERC) election. But be-
fore MERC is authorized to hold
the election, at least 50 per cent
of the Univeristy clericals must
sign authorization cards to prove
they are in favor of unionization.
IF THE secretaries approve un-
ionization, MERC will hold another
election, and this time the clericals
will vote for the particular union
they wish to represent them.
The women at last night's meet-
ing were enthusiastic about the
idea and answered the CCFA panel
members presentations with cheers
and hand-clapping. They all seem-
ed to agree that they were "under-
pair, under-classified, and over-
worked," as Jean Love, a Uni-
versity secretary and panel mem-
ber, described it.

United Mine Workers President
Arnold Miller will speak at a stu-
dent-organized program on health
problems among Appalachian coal
miners today at 3:30 in the Public
Health Auditorium.
The "counter-lecture" is a stu-
dent response to a required lecture
given by a West Virginia health
director last December on the
causes of black lung disease in
coal miners.
THE PROGRAM will also fea-
ture speakers M. H. Ross, United
Mine Workers Clinical Adminis-
trator, and Donald Rasmussen,
Chief of the Pulmonary Section of
the Appalachian Regional Hospital
in Beckley, W. Va.
Black lung disease is a respira-
tory ailment which is traditionally
considered to be caused by years
of breathing the dust which
abounds in the dry coal mines.
In its worst the disease com-
pletely disables miners due to a
decrease in their lung capacity.
DR. KEITH MORGAN, director
of the Appalachian Laboratory for
Occupational Respiratory Diseas-1
es, stated at last December's an-
nual Baker lecture that "cigarettet
smoking outweighs the effects ofz
dust (in coal mines) five to one."
He went on to say that taxpay-1
ers are "compensating most men t
for the effects of cigarette smok-
ing."
Organizers of the counter-lecturet
contend that if Morgan's theory
becomes widely accepted, coalt
miners might lose sorely neededl
compensations.
THE LECTURE was part of a *
series for a core class which all
first year Public Health students
are required to take and was spon-
sored by the Michigan Lung Asso-
ciation.
The counter-lecture is being or-
ganized by a group of students int
the class who were offended by
the remarks.
"I'm from West Virginia and,
this is a pretty sore issue withl
me," says graduate student Mike1
Ross.
"MORGAN FAILS to give any
evidence to back up his conten-
tions. He should concentrate on
how to defend the health of
miners," says Russ.
Dr. Myron Wegman, Dean of the
Public Health School,, claims that
the lecture was not mandatory.
This is countered by student Joe
Cook who. stated, "While the lec-
ture was not required, -the students
were not told this; they were un-
der the impression that they might
be tested on it."
Wegman says he felt that Dr.
Morgan "offered his conclusions
based on scientific; evidence."
ROSS QUOTED Wegman as say-
ing that the University doesn't
have the responsibility to repre-
sent opposing viewpoints. or be
objective.
Noting the small number of Ap-
palachian students at. tie Univer-
sity Ross remarks, "I am very
pleased with the support I have
been getting since we staited push-
ing for the counter-lecture."'

Colburn, who was the center of the
verbal attacks, bore them in stony
silence.
Igor were any of the other Re-

antics. However, they silently en-
