WASHTENAW, COUNTY Sh

before the August primary tl
a million-dollar law suit - fi
against him and the county m
prompted by his leading Der
cratic opponent Fred Postill.
Harvey had switched party

Independent Party ticket.
He played tapes for report
of a conversation with an
year old man who had be
raped and beaten in the cou
jail last spring. The man, D
ald Norris, said that Postill I
encouraged the lawsuit, f
given him food and money, e
had found him the lawyer v
filed the suit.
Postill denied any involvem
in the affair.

Previously these positions were
listed in the Personnel Office or

Under an earlier policy, all
academic openings from instruc-

at least two months before a
selection is made.

THE STATE LEGISLATURE
voted in May to ratify the Equal
Rights Amendment (ERA), the
proposed constitutional amend-
ment against discrimination on
grounds of sex.
The ERA would require that
the law treat men and women
equally, but would not nullify
laws which distinguish on the
basis of sex. It would go into
effect two years after rat-ifica-
tion by 38 of the 50 states.

JANE WATERSON was ap-
pointed assistant dean and ad-
missions director of the Univer-
sity Law. School at a June Re-
gents meeting.
Waterson, the first woman to
hold a high-ranking position in
the law school, will direct stu-
dent recruitment and admissions,
financial aid for first year stu-
dents, and relations with under-
graduate institutions. ,
She hopes to encourage more
women to apply to law school,
but says there are no set goals
for increased admissions of wo-
men.
A 6-MONTH STRIKE called in
February against the Commis-
sion on Hospital and Professional
Activities (CPHA) ended unsuc-
cessfully this summer.
The strike was called by mem-
bers of the United Auto Work-
ers (UAW) Local 157. The Inter-
national and Regional UAW call-
ed off the action because the
number of strikers had decreased
to one-third over the six month
period.
At issue in the strike was the
creation of a union shop.
P.J.'S RESTAURANT closed
suddenly last May, amidst re-
ports of health law violations
and nonpayment of taxes.
The restaurant closed after
health officials reportedly warn-
ed the owners they would be shut
down for operating a food serv-
ices establishment with an ex-
pired license. The U.S. govern-
ment then seized the property,
but officials would not give de-
tails about the grounds for the
seizure.
The Internal Revenue Service
is still trying to locate John and
Mike Wehab, former proprietors
of the restaurant.

Clark,
case
(Continued from Page 1)
that the procedure denied a
complainant due process of law.
As a result, the Commission
for Women and the University's
executive officers drew up the
new complaint appeal proced-
ure. For each case, the Univer-
sity and the complainant each
select one member of a three-
person board. And an impartial
chairperson is chosen from a list
submitted by President Robben
Fleming to the two members.
The board, after hearing the.
case, formulates a recommenda-
tion and submits it to Fleming.
Several points of the Clark de-
cision upheld key arguments put
forward by Edwards.
The unanimous ruling by the
board shifts the "burden of,
proof" to the University in cases
of salary inequity between men
and women.
"Once a disparity is shown,
it's up to the University to show
that it's based on criteria other
than sex. The University has not
developed a clear set of cri-
teria for establishment of sala-
ries. Women were always paid
less," says Edwards.
Another major outcome of the
case is the board's reaffirma-

tion of state law which rules
that discrimination need not be
intentional to be- unlawful.
University lawyers claimed in
the case that any discrimina-
tion against Clark was uninten-
tional. Therefore, they argued, it
did not constitute discrimina-
tion.
"It was frustrating" to prove
intent in such cases, according
to Nordin.
The procedure, whose trial
period ran out on Sept. 1, will
undergo evaluation.
"The procedure should be
maintained or else there will be
no neutral hearing at all. But
the procedure is so .time-con-
suming, I can't imagine there'll
be an enormous number of wo-
men to go through it," says Uni-
versity Women's Representative
Kathy Shortridge. "Women are
often relictant' to come forward
with complaints. They're some-
times afraid of losing their job,"
she adds.
The Clark case also provides
more evidence of sex discrim-
ination in University employ-
ment practices.
The Department of Health,
Education and Welfare (HEW)
charged the University with sex-
ism in its employment practices
two years ago. The University
submitted an affirmative action
plan which has not yet been
approved by HEW.

against Goldman have been dis-
missed, but the other three face
separate trials this month.
The 36 defendants from the
second crater dig were divided
into two groups, and appeared
before different judges.
Those appearing before Elden
also had charges changed to
"trespass by digging," and will
stand trial in groups of twos and
threes.
However the charges against
those who appeared before Dis-
trict Judge Pieter Thomassen
have not been changed from
"malicious destruction." A de-
fense motion to have those
charges dismissed will be heard
today.
