Poge Ten THE MICHIGAN DAILY Tuesday, September 12,1972- Poge Tn THEMICHIAN DALYITuedoy, eptemer 1 , 197 Lui"Mnmmmmmmj I Report cites pay discrimination against women and minorities (Continued from Page 1) mum salaries-excluding unassign- ed research positions. Women make up 61 per cent of the total P&A staff. At the same time, only one per cent of the women are classified as above "maximum salary in grade," compared to three per cent for the entire staff. The study also found that the portion of women in each of the lowest four salary grades ranged from 63 to 83 per cent. The study found there were no women in the highest four levels. In .an examination of minorities, the study indicates that minority group members receive salaries which are commensurate with their ,salary grades, but they tend to be concentrated in lower salary levels. According to the report, 11 per cent of all minority group persons are below minimum salary grade, as compared with 13 per cent of the entire group. At the same time, there are no minority staff members in any of the four highest classifications, but 20 per cent of the people in the lowest grouping DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN The Daily Official Bulletin is an official publication of the Univer- sity of Michigan.

In addition to requesting that low salaries be raised, the report proposes that salary increases for the three per cent of the staff which is above "maximum salary" be greatly limited until their salaries become consistent with proposed levels. The report also supplies a com- plete set of job descriptions for the classifications it created. Each de- scription contains the title, basic function and responsibility, char- acteristics, related duties and re- sponsibilities, supervision received and exercised, and qualifications required for each position. Problems of aged .faced at meeting The first day of the three-day Annual Conference on Aging was held yesterday at the Rackham Building. Over -8O0 representatives of many professional and govern- ment organizations attended meet- ings on the problems of advocacy for older populations in various cultures and biological considera- tions of demographic expansion. A highlight of yesterday's ac- tivities included. the recognition of seven "American Pioneers in Aging" for their past achievement. Key speakers at the conference, the nation's oldest academic for- um devoted to problems of the aged, include Sen. Frank Church (D.-Idaho), chairperson of the Senate Special Commission on Ag- ing, Dean Wilbur Cohen of the University's School of Education, and Arthur Fleming, chairperson of the White House Conference on Aging. Fields to be covered in the re- maining two days of the confer- ence include aging and the econo- my, aging and leisure, and pro- gress being made toward a na- tional policy on the aging. The problems of the elderly have become a significant issue in this election year. A 20 per cent Social Security increase was passed over the threat of veto by President Nixon. Further, a bill to provide free meals to the elderly poor was vetoed by Nixon, saying the pro- gram was too costly. Sen. George McGovern, Demo- cratic presidential nominee, has said that he will give an addi- tional boost in Social Securitydas a means to help the elderly poor. Also included in the proposal are* recommendations for yearly per- formance evaluations of all staff, an appeals procedure, and a pro- cedure for the system itself to ad- just to future needs. Virginia Nordin, a chairperson of the Commission for Women, says that the findings of the Hayes study "verify what women have been saying" about salary in- equalities. "All in all it is a report that will help women on this campus a great deal," she said. Nordin interpreted the study's findings to mean that either wo- men had been "misclassified" into low paying jobs or that the ad- ministratorshad perceived of work done by women as less important than similar work done by men. The Hayes report suggests that part of the reason for the salary differences might be that men hold more seniority in their present classification than do women. The report also says that "many clas- sifications predominantly peopled by women have been increased in relativeorder," thus suggesting that these classifications had pre- viously been placed at too low a level. j' TROPIC ISLE O'DELL ALL-GLASS TANK SALE r r 10 gal. $7.50 20 gal. $16.00 15 gal. $12.00 29 gal. $20.00 r * ALSO: 10% OFF ALL OTHER EQUIPMENT WITH COUPON. 1731 PLYMOUTH RD.
