"It's kind of lepressing." But, undaunted by a low turn-out >n the first day of classes, Moore and his fellow May 4th Coalition demon- strators enthusiastically made the most of an opportunity to sing, chant, and expound their message: move the Kent State gym. THE gathering came only three hours after a Supreme Court injunc- tion halting construction of the new building ran out. The university in Kent, Ohio, may now legally begin breaking the ground on which four students were slain by National Guardsmen in 1970. So, according to Coalition member Joanne Roths, the' issue :s more "crucial" now than it was during the summer when hundreds of people. from across the country, mostly students, pitched tents and spread themselves out on "blanket hill" to stall the construction. "Personally, I think a half-built gym would be a more important monument than no gym at all," smiled the Eastern Michigan stu- dent. She said that her goal is to make a pilgrimage to Kent State and bring home a brick from the gym. ABOUT A dozen Coalition mem- bers manned tables covered with posters, literature, and t-shirts ("Re- member Kent State, Move the Gym" and "Long live the spirit of Kent and Jackson State".) A folk singer sang an emotional recollection of the protest movement of the late sixties to a slowly gather- ing crowd, mostly curious brown- baggers eating in the sun. "I believe in it," stated junior Dan Bedrosian who said he remembers the Kent State shootings very well. The latfd "should be preserved for its historical significance," he argued. BUT LUCY Doroshko, a former student who was in junior high in 1970, explained that the protesters are "making too much of a thing out of it." She said that the May 4th Coalition is "building up", the event more than they should. Diane Clark of the Revolutionary Students Brigade opened the rally with the help of a bull-horn: "We're doing this so that everybody knows what's been going down at Kent." Clark introduced California's own "Take the Hill" Bill who spent four months at Kent this summer. The bull-horn rested easily in his hand as he told the group that the situation at Kent State since May 4, 1970 shows that "there is no humanity, no morality, and no justice in Amer- ica. HE REPORTED that the cases of the four slain students are in court. He did not detail the cases. Then, Bryan Moore predicted that "hell will be laid with every goddamn brick laid down there," to which the small crowvd applauded. University attorneys submit . CHEESES * STRUDEL * DOUGH."

Shlomo Sperka, MERC adminis- trative law judge, recommended to MERC that it direct the University to sign the contract and recognize GSAs as employes and not just as students. The University also was ordered to f compensate GSAs forlosses they and ion sutterea wnue worKing a contract for almost 13 now. PRESIDENT Mike Clark had expected Sperka to rule union's favor but "didn't he decision to be so strong., idn't know if the judge would t and say we are employes er the University to sign a t." eys for the University esti- appeal decision from MERC ke up to eight months. And if decision is appealed, a third uld take years. KA SAID that the Univer- ajor argument was drawn, deral precedent in the 1974 University case in which the National Labor Relations Boara ruled that research assistants (RAs) are not employes under federal law. Sperka said a minor premise of the University's case was that the Michi- gan Supreme Court has, in several cases, ruled that GSAs are not employes under state law. Sperka contended that MERC is not bound by federal decisions and GSAs are employes within the mean- ing of Michigan law. GEO filed the ULP charge last November when the University re- fused to sign the contract until two grievances remaining from the prior contract were resolved or dropped. The grievances concerned the ques- tion of who is covered by the contract. WHILE WAITING for the. ULP ERC decision ruling, GEO leadership worked to keep members rallied behind the issue. Interest appeared lacking last spring, with low turnout at member- ship meetings and the shelving of a possible strike. But Clark said he hopes the favorable ruling will encourage members to show more concern for the union. He said that if a heavily- attended summer Steward's Council meeting is any indication, he can predict "sizeable interest from the membership." The ULP ruling comes at the same time as a University decision to place this year's 5.75 per cent GSA pay increase in escrow. The University plans to pay the funds retroactively when the litigation between GEO and the University is resolved. - --- II - 0 Featuring th' Famous Steak & Onion Sandwich eStacked Roast Beef * Corned Beef * Ham & Cheese, Pepper Steak * Taco * Submarines etting off your chest in style. rndershirts with extra meaning v "a (Continued from Page 1) unusual complaint about the shirts.

(AP( - Some- times putting a square peg in a round hole is a good idea, say computer de- sign~ers. Machines force square pins into round holes at Honeywell's computer manufacturing center here. Since the holes - lined with a soft metal - are smaller than the pins, the fit is tighter, ensuring better electrical connections for sensitive computer parts.
