Because of a major assault in the Senate against his top-priority energy legislation, "I am going to devote most of my time the next few weeks ... trying to make sure we have a fair and ade- quate energy package." THE ARGUMENT centers on the President's attempts to maintain price controls on natural gas and crude oil and place a tax on crude oil to dampen demand. The House has passed those center- pieces of Carter's proposal, but the Sen- ate - amid intense lobbying from the oil and gas industries - voted to de- regulate natural gas prices and is moving toward dropping the crude oil tax. Referring to his statement last April that the energy challenge is the "moral equivalent of war," Carter said at a news conference "As in the case of war, there is potential war profiteering." HE ALSO SAID the end of govern- ment controls could lead to "the biggest ripoff in history." In addition, he again raised the possibility of trying to break up the big oil companies, although he added, "I'm not trying to threaten anyone or use a club." Two high administration officials, in- terviewed after the news conference, said Carter intends to: 9 Emphasize to House members, who have approved an energy bill close to his specifications, that the admini- stration will "hang tough" in support- ing the House approach against the Senate's proposals. * Try to salvage what he can in the Senate, with particular stress on urging, that the ultimate Senate version, even if r watered down, contains at shadow of the House-approved That would give administrati ers "something to hang theirI in seeking an acceptable com during Senate-House conferen mittee deliberations on a final p * Mount a public relations c< to enlist public support for position.

If GEO accepts the University's offer, it must agree to do so in ~. writing, implicitly agreeing not to file an unfair labor practice charge H_ against the University for unilateral- ly granting the pay hike instead of reaching agreement with the union through collective bargaining. The union has not yet answered the offer which came yesterday in the form of a letter from chief University bargainer Joseph Katulic. "We're pleased with the decision," "'M;aGEO vice-president Marty Bombyk said. "However, the 5.75 per cent (hike) does not keep up with inflation and we'd rather return to bargain- , ing. University negotiators, however, are unwilling to return to the table until legal action has been taken on an appeal they have filed. The appeal charges that GSAs are students, not yemployes, and therefore are not entitled to contract bargaining. Commission (MERC) judge ruled in August that the University must y recognize GSAs as employes entitled to enter into contract negotiations.

CA LLS CARTER'S PROGRAM 'PROPAGANDA': University negotiators made the 5.75 per cent pay hike offer last.year, and announced in August the money would be placed in escrow until the legal battle was resolved. Fear of an unfair labor practice charge, how- ever, as well as indications from some GSAs that they wanted to receive the pay hike now, prompted the University to shift its strategy. "It's a way of doing something now until we know whether we'll be required to bargain or not," said Lemmer. According to Bombyk, however, the University's decision to offer the pay raise now was the result of "large numbers" of GSAs calling University officials demanding infor- mation about the escrow fund. "Obviously, it was effective," said Bombyk. Union leaders had urged members to call University administrators and ask who would be eligible for the increase, whether GSAs would re- ceive interest on the money, when the funds would be released, and if a board of trustees had been estab- lished for the escrow account. But Lemmer refutes Bombyk's claim, reiterating that indications from some GSAs prompted the offer. "It came to our attention that many of them (GSAs) would like to be paid after their last meeting," Lemmer said. Lemmer was referring to GEO's Sept. 20 meeting, which resulted in an almost even split on the pay hike issue. See 'U', Page 10 Bakke trial: Tedium, grandeur' in D. Co By R.J. SMITH It is a cramped, high ceilinged court- room with marble walls. As marshalls parade silently back and forth, taking' pencils and papersfrom the non-press, nine robed judges solemnly stride from behind a dark velvet curtain, taking their places at a long wooden bench. The proceedings begin. A veteran lawyer, described as "grand, imperial, princely, and full of Yankee aloofness," squares off against a newcomer'from San Francisco, said to act like "he had seen too many Perry Mason flicks." It is all part of the most influential and important court case of recent years: the University of Calif.-Davis v. Allen Bakke. For University law professor Peter Westen, these were some of many vivid images collected on a trip to the nation's capitol Tuesday. "It was interesting, because the case represents to what extent is one group to be given special privileges, and the courtroom itself reflected constant granting of special privilege. "I waited in a special admissions line because I am a member of the Supreme, Court Bar, and there were others that got in even before me, like Sen. Robert Griffin (R-Mich.), Judge Damon Keith and Sen. Tom Eagleton (D-Mo.)." Another Ann Arborite, however, had. quite a different experience. Jean King, an outspoken lawyer who has handled many local discrimination cases, went to Washington hoping to see a portion of the trial. However, many hours and two tired feet later, she left without a glimpse of the trial. She couldn't get her hands on a ticket. ""You don't get in line at four in the morning because you don't have anything else to do. But outside of being tired, I don't regret it a bit. "I would estimate that one-third 1to one-half of the people in the line were black, because it's no mystery to everybody on the grapevine what this means-it means no opportunity for black kids." For Westen, Tuesday's proceedings were full of striking incongruencies: the rich, hob-nobbing lawyers on one side, the general public on the other; the streamlined Bakke prosecution versus the elaborate University of California defense, and most of all, the basic differences between the two lawyers. "The lawyers weren't as good as they should have been, but especially. Bakke's. . . Bakke hired a trial lawyer (Reynold Colvin), that's all he could af- ford . . . But he was corny and melodramatic . . . he was out of his element . . . He would stroll up and down the courtroom, until the Chief Justice asked him to stop pacing and address the court into the microphone." The contrast between the unpolished Colvin approach and that of the Univer- sity's attorney, the renowned Archibald Cox, was obvious, said Westen. Blanco kits By MICHAEL YELLIN "We do not trust Mr. Carter's feelings for human rights in Latin America but we are confident of the feelirig for human rights in the United States for the Latin American people," was the message exiled' Peruvian peasant leader Hugo Blan- co brought to the University last night. Blanco discussed "Carter and hu- man rights in Latin America" to a packed house in the Union's Pendel- ton Room. Blanco has been granted a six-month visa for a speaking tour in this country after waiting for six years. DEFINING the History of Latin America as one of colonization, first by the Spanish, and most recently, by the United States, Blanco said, "Because of this, the rebellion has been a permanent one in our contin- ent.
