If the initial evaluation of PPD, begun in the fall of 1975, had come six months or a year later, student Margaret Gorecki said, the review would have re- flected a marked shift in the de- rd partment from international to domestic focus. Dean Reming- ton stated that there is no com- parable population studies pro- gram in Michigan. In defense of PPD's reputa- tion, Gorecki explained that while she was working in Ne- pal searching for a program "the kind of advice I got was, "Michigan is where it's at'." Since PPD will lose its Aid for International Development and Ford Foundation grants in 1978, Remington stressed a pre- dicted deficit in excess of one million dollars for the SPH. "Where's the money?" asked Remington, referring to the school's inability to compensate for the $140,000 loss in outside funding to PPD. Facing "severe p r o b 1 e m s within a budgetary context," the University must contend with the loss of federal and state funds and "we don't know where to go to make up that shortfall," Rhodes commented. Remington added that PPD is "not a strong research group." He cited the program's inability to obtain outside research grants. Research productivity is mea- sured in terms of publications reviewed by peers. SPH's Executive Committee, in its Feb. 2 recommendation with -the Dean to drop PPD, claimed that, "Research pro- ductivity of this faculty is also low, amounting throughout the 1970s to approximately one peer- reviewed publication per faculty member per two years." But in a published response, PPD members protested that this only indicates journal arti- cles. Also PPD Assistant Profes- sor Judith Herrington said she was one of many PPD members preparing to publish research findings. (Continued from Page 1) eat." THE HOUSING Office has no- tified dorm supervisors that they would have to recruit resi- dent staff members and willing students to work in food service and housekeeping p o s it i o n s throughout the AFSCME strike. Feldkamp said that resident staff, in some cases, may be compelled by their supervisors to take over the responsibilities of another job. If the staff mem-1 ber refuses to cross union pick- et lines, he added, "their staff job could be put in jeopardy." "Any employes sympathizing! with the strike won't get paid and risk losing their own jobs," Feldkamp said. HE SAID University officials are not considering the closing of any dormitories. "They have never been closed down before," Feldkamp said. "Such an action strike on woud be tragic to a residential o n b l ins itution.

Morrow believes past stu- dents felt courses were not chal- lenging, she says classes have been made tougher in the past two or three years. Students now have an option to take Pilot courses pass/fail or with letter grades, rather than strictly pass/fail as in the past, which has a slant toward com- munity psychology; "Health and Disease," which emphasizes hu- man biology; and "Dreams, Fairy Tales, and Myths," which has a philisophical flavor. STUDENTS HAVE different motives for entering the Pilot program. One wanted to make sure she lived in Lloyd. Another Meanwhile, a pro-AFSCME student group has, for the past week, attempted to prevent stu- dents from filling union jobs in the event of a strike. THE GROUP, called the Stu- dent Support Committee for AFSCME, is encouraging stu- dents to honor union pickets and avoid doing work normally done by AFSCME emploves. All campus buses will be op- erating as scheduled during the strike, according to assistant ga- rage foreman Joseph Kennedy. WHILE nurses' aides and oth- er University Hospital employes will be involved in the strike, campus officials said they doubted the student Health Serv- ices would be affected. Neither the University nor the union will speculate on how long the strike may last. Neff said the University's first response to the walkout will simply be to monitor union ac- tivities and learn the extent of the strike. The campus can seek a court injunction against the strike, but before that, Neff said, "We would have to assess etti urms talks politics advantage of "their mo history" and becomer volved in politics.

At that time, the sides had agreed to every item in the contract except one -the clause determining whom GEO trepresents. Since GEO already had two grievances pending on this par- ticular clause, the University refused to sign a new agreement containing controversial lan- guage, and insisted that GEO drop the two grievances. The administration further stipulated that the union must sign a memo promising not to file the grievances again, and acknowl- edge that the grievances were "inconsistent with the current and precedingmcollective bar- gaining, agreements." GEO refused, saying the Uni- versity was "holding up the signing of the contract for a non-mandatory bargaining is- sue." The administration dis- agreed, and the union filed the ULP.' AT THE HEARING, GEO ar- gued that the administration had not presented the grievance memo at the bargaining table until Nov. 17, the day before ne- gotiations were halted. Barbras Tannenbaum, a GEO bargainer, allenge testified: "The University did not bring up the memo during the time that I was bargaining (October through November) until Nov. 17. At that time, it came as a big shock to us." The union also argued that the matter of who was covered un- der the contract was never dis- cussed at the bargaining table, and therefore was not a factor in this year's agreements. Since it was not an openly discussed issue they said, the administra- tion was committing a ULP by refusing to execute the contract because of that clause. Although the University plead- ed innocent to those charges, it did not attempt to refute them. "THE PROBLEM," said chief University bargainer John For- syth, "is that if we actually tried to win the ULP, we would, Our case is so clean that we coildn't lose. "Unfortunately." he contin- ued. "if we win the ULP, then MERC won't answer the ques- tion of whether they are em- ployes or not. If we don't pre- sent any other defense, then MERC has to consider that ques- tion, which is what we want them to do." University attorney Robert Vercruysse argued the adminis- tration's stance by comparing the University to our "peer in- stitutions". "AT BERKELEY, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, MIT, and our other peer institutions, graduate student assistants are by law not considered employes," hel said. Vercruvsse cited the Leland vs. Stanford case of 1974 as le- gal precedent that GSAs are not employes. In that case, graduate student staff and research as- sistants were determined to be students, not employes. After the hearing at the Mich- S TAs' igan Union, leaders on each side called the other "liars". ALTHOUGH he didn't chal- lenge any of GEO's evidence at the hearing, University attorney William Lemmer said later. "You can't believe anything they say, because they lie all the time." When told of Lemmer's com- ment, Moran said, "If anyonei is lying. it is them." He added1 later, "Mr. Lemmer is below1 contempt." Forsyth also refuted several: points made by GEO. He pro- duced documents proving thata the grievance memo had been presented to GEO on Sept. 30, and again on Nov. 16, not Nov. NOW pres. seeks Carter" S status 17 as GEO had claimed. He also claimed that the memo was "discussed at the bargaining table at least once during Oc- tober and November." MORAN admitted "that most of the bargaining team was aware of the memo on Sept. 30." He also admitted that the memo "may have been in the Nov. 16 proposal." But he denied that the memo was ever discussed before Nov. 17, and said all charges of lying were "unfound- ed. "When you are trying to re- call something that happened three months ago," Moran said, "you are bound to miss a few details." support (Continued from Page 1) said, but "Of course, there's a is no reason why a man should I whole generation of emotional have to support a family, why a woman who wants to be a brain surgeon or a man a poet should have to explain it." Referring to the superior-in- ferior relationship of men and women. DeCrow continued, "To be in the ruling class because of your birth causes constant nervousness, because someone may at any moment see you're not superior."

"We will ask Carter to go on TV and say how embarrassing it is to be Pres- ident of a country with sex 6s- crimination," DeCrow said. She explained that while President Carter is an advocate of the ERA, he has been known only to express his support when fac- ing women's organizations. DeCrow confronted objections to the changes the ERA will bring about. She blasted charges that the proposed constitutional amendment will force every wo- man to go out and get a job, re- ferring :rimarily to a woman who might choose to be a house- wife. DeCrow said women should be eligible for the draft: "Woman should have equal obligations to secure that there is no war, or no draft. or equally participate." The possibility is good that the ERA will be ratified in several states, such as Florida, Okla- horna, North Carolina, and Mis- zsoliri, according to DeCrow. It lwas recently defeated in Nev- ada, where DeCrow said, "The Mormon church was the most powerful force (in its defeat)." "The most horrible part to me is women fighting against their own equality . .. people are ter- rified of cbange. I always thoaht it was embarassing to discuss and vote on a person's h'man rights." TO TLLUSTRATE the need for en1al rights DeCrow cited sev- erql examples of sex discrimin- ation in such places as segre- Pated countrv clubs, where wo- men must ralinoiiish their use of a tennis court if a man wants to use it. She told another story about a high school home economics class, in which girls had "to wash the boys' basketball uni- forms."
