weren't.
)VSKIS, along with other faculty
idents, is feeling the pinch of a'
cutback in library funds. When
k budget for 1977-78 was reduced-
3,000, about a quarter of last
figure, librarians began tighten-
.r purse strings.
has been particularly true of
reserve books. A smaller staff and
lower budget have created problems of
putting books on reserve.
"This year, we have to watch 'more
carefully the number of copies we or-
der," said Barbara Kemp, Under-
graduate Librarian and the assistant
head of the UGLI. "We used to be so
generous."
KEMP ESTIMATED the UGLI's pro-
cessing office has lost the equivalent of
two full-time staff members because of
the cutbacks.
""The problem is, they are understaff-
ed," said Prof. Vinovskis of the reserve
operation. "In the four years I've been
frican leader its
J' for investments
here, the system seems to be slowing
down.''
Vinovskis said the material he or-
dered for reserve was mandatory
reading, and he can't test his students
on the material until the books go on
reserve.
"THEY CAN BUY the books, but I
want them to have the option to get
them in reserve. Some students just
can't afford to buy all the books, so half
the class has done the reading, and the
other half hasn't."
Rose-Grace Faucher, head librarian
at the UGLI, said professors are noti-
fied of the deadlines to put books on re-
serve. Some books have to be ordered
and catalogued before they make it to
the reserve shelves, she said.
Sociology professor Marc Chessler
had to have some books ordered from
the publisher, but wasn't able to get his
order in until early September. He said
he doesn't blame the reserve office for
not being able to get some of the books.
"MY TEMPO of course creation
didn't fit the deadline." he said. "It's a
dilemma of a large university."
Vinovskis said, "The system is the
problem. The people (at the Reserves
Office) are very cooperative. I can't
fault them. I really can't."
And then there's the backlog of work
between terms when the reserve room
is reshelved with the books to be on
reserve for the coming term.
THIS YEAR, because of the shorten
ed Christmas break, the UGLI only has
three days to do the reshelving.
"We have 20-30 people working on it,
if we can get that many," Kemp admit-
ted. She explained the reshelving can't
be done earlier because of final exams,
and because there is no space to put the
15,000 items that go on reserve.
Eve August, a junior majoring in
political science, said with the amount
of reading she has to do, -she uses the
reserve desk at the UGLI frequently.
"BUT I ALWAYS end up buying the
books because it was such a hassle to
get them on reserve. I spend about $200
each term on books!" she remarked.

The seven to two vote came after
about 15 minutes of debate at the end
of one of the Board's semi-annual
meetings in the Union.
Irving Freeman, an LSA junior re-
cently appointed to the Board, said
"(the motion) is basically a lobbying
effort on my part" to convince the
Board members to "show our dis-
taste" for South African invest-
ments.
Freeman said the Board should be
African investments
History Prof. John Bowditch said he
only puts books on reserve that can be
used for term papers. He prefers that
his students buy paperbacks for assign-
ed readings.
I'm more in favor of a well-balanced
collection of books than the business of
buying 10 or 20 copies (for reserve), and
not using them next term. There is an
awful lot of waste on the part of the in-
structors," he said.

stration for its neglect of- the
an cause, despite Carter's cam-'
n promises to 'promote majority'
for South Africa and to lead the
against apartheid.
rter's promises "have been all
ric," Mhlambiso said. "Listening
irter make his speech (before the
) you would think it was a Nixon
king."

MHLAMBISO -expressed pleasure
over last week's U.N. arms embargo
against South Africa. But he was
vehemet in his disapproval for the
tabling of three other resolutions which
would establish trade embargoes.
"We're not saying that an arms em--
bargo will bring about the fall of the
Vorster government. But for fifteen
years we've been rallying for an arms
embargo," he said. "It gives
psychological support-not just prac-
tical support."
"Western nations were willing to
have an arms embargo, but not if it
were to affect their own economies."
"urging the University to withdraw
(South African investments) so that
we don't have to support the apar-
theid Dolicies."
NEIL SHINE, managing editor of
the Detroit Free Press and one of
three professional journalists on the
Board, responded, "If I was sure we
could take something out of the hands'
of the white racists by withdrawing
money, then I would support (the
motion), but I'm not sure." Shine
went on to say some of the money
spent by U.S. businesses in South
Africa "goes to build homes," and
other necessities.
One of the two faculty members on
the board, English Professor Peter.
Ferran; said "The Daily wouldn't be
possible if it were taken to the highest
ideals."
Engineering Senior Bruce Chew,
the other dissenting voter, said that
"since The Daily has 'strongly' come
out against South African invest-
ments, this is hypocritical."
FERRAN REPLIED, "It doesn't
add up to hypocrisy, all that it does is
sweeten the paradox."
Board member Gratton Gray of the
Monroe Evening News said "The
Board studiously avoids getting into
editorial judgements . . . it is inap-
propriate for the Board, I think, to
function in any way except in a
business way."
Freeman said he objects to "blood
money" invested by the Board,
which is a corporation. "The Regents
have decided that our money goes
into the investment pool and that we
don't have anything to say about it.
They shouldn't invest our money that
way."
Free Press editor Shine asked
Freeman, "Have you any idea how it
would affect the population (if invest-
ments were withdrawn)?"
Freeman answered he was "not too
sure of the finances."
Immediately before the vote, Fer-
ran said, "It's so hopelessly complex,
I think sometimes that just being in
business, period, is immoral."

A spokesman for the Interior
Department said the post Mendel-
sohn was to have filled would remain
open "on a permanent basis."
The California commission said it
planned to file the suit against
Mendelsohn, his campaign commit-
tee and five other individuals.
"WE HAVE uncovered what we be-
lieve to be very serious violations of
the campaign disclosure law," com-
mission chairman Daniel Lowenstein
told a news conference.
The commission said $26,500 was
funneled into Mendelsohn's unsuc-
cessful campaign for state controller

and that "a conspiracy to cover up'
the true source of the money still
exists."
Lowenstein said there is no direct
evidence Mendelsohn was part of
that conspiracy or had knowledge of
the true source of the $26,500.
BUT, Lowenstein' added, "on the
other hand, there certainly is a great
deal of circumstantial evidence
Mendelsohn knew the source of the
$26,500.
Carter has said Mendelsohn's ap-
pointment, made last May, would not
be approved if the allegations of
wrongdoing are proven against him.
Neither Mendelsohn, who has re-

tal, have been surveying union
member's opinions on three unre-
solved issues since contract negotia-
tions broke down Oct. 19.
ACCORDING to HOA bargaining
committee chairman Dr. Oliver
Cameron the unsettled issues are:
* Added clinical responsibility for
certain individuals outside of their
usual job descriptions.
Special parking privileges for
house officers.
" Added responsibility at the Vet-
eran's Administration (VA) Hospital
requiring individuals "to do two jobs
at once and provide services not
usually the responsibility of an
M.D."
The HOA contract expired Aug. 31
but has been extended on a day-to-
day basis.
Grace Willis, hospit'al staff and
union relations manager, said yester-
day the two sides "agree we are atan
impasse" and the University~i~ in the
process of arranging for a mediator.
CAMERON said a mediator should
arrive on campus within two weeks
"depending on his availability."

Pauline Reisner, HOA bargaining
committee member, said sugges-
tions made by the mediator will not
be binding on either party.
"Hopefully, the mediator will rec-
ommend a compromise on part of the
issues we are deadlocked on," said
Reisner.
Reisner said at a membership
meeting last week HOA members
were "committed to accept the
University's offer on the three re-
maining issues."
T E HOA bargaining committee
hel the membership meeting to
determine what course to take when
the negotiators reached an impasse
on the three issues.
Reisner called the parking ques-
tion "the one issue I see that might
pull people together."
According to Reisner survey re-
suits show HOA members' are giving
the parking issue high priority.
"If you get called in to work in the
middle of the night, you want to get to
the hospital as soon as possible," said
Reisner. "We don't think physicians
should have to park several blocks
away."
