U': Band suit 'frivolous'

Native Americans
skeptical of trilbute

(Continued from Page 1)
"BLACKS are the last to be
hired and the first to be fired.
It is a cycle that goes on and
on. When lay-offs take place,
instead of going to the person
with the least seniority, why
not offer people long sabbati-
cals?"
Shrugging off the possibility
that the companies may not
be able to afford these prolong-
ed furloughs due to financial,
problems, Hall stated "For ev-
ery dollar in wages, a worker'
produces $3.50."
While Hall said that he op-
posed sex discrimination, he
added also that he opposed the
Equal Rights Amendment
(ERA). "The problem is legali-
ty. Since it is a constitutional
amendment, it supercedes state
law and therefore, those states
who are, in fact, progressive.4
"ALSO IN THE future, it may
be an obstacle to affirmative
action.
"I want to try to find some
formula to do what the ERA
does but which wouldn't undo
what's already been done. We
need a new bill of rights for
women," said Hall.
Hall does not try to equate
U.S. Communism and Soviet
Communism nor does he believe
that Socialism in the U.S. will;

be like Socialist Communism
in Europe.
"THERE ARE no models for
Commimism, It is people who
model a new society. In other
words, it's the people of the
U.S. who will mold Socialism,
in their image. Socialism in the
U.S. will be unique. Of course,
it won't face the problem of a
forced march - it is unneces-
sary, for there is no income
of low base. People in the U.S.
will refuse to accept Socialism
without an equivalent of a Bill
of Rights."
But Hall believes that we do
have a lot to learn from Euro-
pean Socialist ways. He com-
pared workers in the American
auto industry with those in Eu-,
ropean industries. "The Ameri-
can workers have no say in
the factory. But Socialist work-
ers know that they work and
rm it," said Hall. "They know,
it - and that makes the dif-
ference."
Meanwhile, University chief,
attorney Roderick Daane yes-
terday responded to the Young
Liberation League's shit to com-'
nel the Michigan Band to play'
f,> Hall's appearance at Hill
Auditorium tonight. In a brief
filed with the Michigan Court
of Appeals, Daane said the
League's suit was frivolous and

an attempt to grab publicity.
League attorney Alan Kauf-
man, in his own brief, filed for
a "Writ of Mandamus," which

Mediation remains fruitless;

come about."
Badoud, however, refrained
from making any predictions
about the possibility of an im-
passe. "i'll cross that bridge
when 1 get to it," he said.
"WE'VE DONE a lot of bar-
gaining but we've got too much
to go yet - a lot of time to
cover - and by Thursday I
think I'll have a pretty good
idea of where we'll be at," he
added.
Meanwhile, GEO negotiating

team members hope their new
proposals will inspire some sig-
nificant movement in bargaining
next week. "In some proposals
there are substantial changes,"
indicated GEO spokesman Ran-
dy Earnst.
The adversaries agree that
mediation thus far has yielded
few if any moves toward a set-
tlement.
"TIIERE HAS been some
movement on non-discrimina-
tion - that was nine days ago
and that's about all the pro-

gress we've made as far as
we're concerned," Earnst said.
And a dimmer retrospective
view was provided by Forsyth:
"Right now, today, we are notj
any closer to agreement than
we were when we began me-
diation."
While both sides maintain
they've made proposals in the
past sessions, both contend re-
actions were negative.

CONCANNON called the resi-
dency requirement discrimina-
tory. "It's Indian 'justice' -j
just us. It's rampant in the,
state of Michigan and other
states like South Dakota."
Glenn Friedly, special assist-'
ant to the governor, admitted
the legislation does have "some
problems" but asserted, "It's
a step in the right direction."
Friedly added that the State
Commission on Indian Affairs
is gathering information to draw
up amendments to the bill.
HOWEVER, Concannon charg-
ed, "If they're gonna start deal-
ing realistically with Native
American issues, they have to
have Native American input
from the start."
