" Whistle while you work For the past two weeks, female students at the University of Florida in Gainesville have been complaining about wolf whistles and obscene re- marks by workers at construction sites on the campus. In letters to the editor of the Inde- pendent Florida Alligator, the university news- paper, the women said they objected mostly to the arbitrary "scale" of one to ten used by the workers to sexually rate female passersby. Gus Klonis of the state. General Services Department promised to come to the assistance of the women. "I have already cautioned the contractors not to let their men make snide remarks and they have promised to quiet them down," Klonis said. "When an incident comes to my attention, I'll tell the general contractor and he will take fast action to fire the man involved or get him off he site." So much for whistling while you work.

Just like in the fOUles Remember those summer afternoons at the beach cracking funnies about the film "Jaws?" Jeff Spence, of Cape Town, South Africa sure does, and he's not likely to ever forget. Spence was swimming at a local beach last Saturday, and entertaining a friend with his imitation of the wo- man who was the shark's first victim in the har- rowing film. "As we rested," said Spence, "I felt a bump against my side and I was being pushed at a fast rate. About 10 meters on, the shark let go. I staed down at my own blood coloring the sea. The next momert I saw the shark clearly about a foot from my nose just under the sur- face, and I thought 'This is it,' but tin some chaps in a dinghy hauled me aboard." Spence cane away with a deep gash the length of his back. Confucius says keep mouth shut New York television weatherman Tex Antoine, suspended last week after a supremely witless on- the-air remark about rape, will not be fired, ac- cording to officials at WABC. "We don't think we can use this as a thrust to end his career," said station general manager Kenneth MacQueen. Ar;- toine began his weather segment last Wednesday evening after a news story about the attempted rave of an8-year-old girl. He said, "With rape so predominant in the news lately, Confucius once say: 'If rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it."' Station switchboards were immediately swamped by an estimated 650 phone calls within half an hour after the crack. Antoine apologized on the air but was suspended indefiviitely. Ont the iiiside.. ...

It included a message that em- bodied all the bewilderment and frustrated pride that mark the modern Michigamua: "In a rapidly changing world where the dif- ferences between generations often seem irrecon- cilable," the letter read, "the continued strength of Michigamua is noteworthy. Responding to many new pressures, including the pressures of the American Indian groups, the Fighting Braves have displayed an understanding and dedication to Michigamua that would make any Old Brave proud.' THE PRESSURES have doubled, at least, in the three and a half years since; pride or no, Michiga'mua now faces a battle of which its founders could never have dreamt. Seventy-five years ago, a group of men be- gan a society that worul honor the- male lead- ers of the senior class with membership in a tribe of "Indians" whose purpose would be "to foster a loyalty for " our Alma Mater and pro- mote good class fellowship." That group's spiritual descendents are now being charged with racism, sexism, and viola- tions of federal law. The charges are assault- ing Michigamua's philosophical underpinnings- secrecy, association with the University, and what the founders believed to be an idealized perception of American Indian traditions. THE WHOLE CONTROVERSY will come to a head this week. The University's investiga- tion of the Tribe, prompted by a Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) re- quest, was completed last week and presented de or prejudice? to' University President Robben Fleming. Vice- by sex, part of the 1972 Education Amendments, President for Student Services Henry Johnson is the biggest challenge. Michigan Student As- said he will meet this morning with Michigamua sembly; (MSA) Vice-President Amy Blumenthal representatives, lawyers, and John Feldkamp, and former MSA member Anita Tanay filed a University housing director and the Tribe's un- complaint in September with HEW, charging official advisor, "to talk about different op- that the all-male Michigamua's free use of space tions." in the Michigan Union and of University-owned jF 1p1iinis t y CArt~.Ld fnI m ~ak nIli1 nr Radrick Farms is a violation of, Title IX. v emsng is expectea to maze a ruling or statement on all single-sex organizations by the end of this week. "I can't believe there's such a big stink about it," said a current member last week. "It's nothing but a bunch of guys getting to- gether to have a good time." THE "BIG STINK" is just beginning, and it's advancing on several fronts: * Title IX. The federal regulation which pre- vents the University from providing "signifi- cant assistance" to groups which discriminate 0 Natives American complaints. Grace Pego, an American Indian student, filed an HEW complaint in October which charged that the Tribe violates Title VI, The law forbids race discrimination by any University-assisted group. Pego and others charge that Michigamua vio- lates civil rights by holding initiation rites which they say humiliate and degrade native Ameri- cans. They say the rites are a parody of their cultures and present Indians as savage and See MICHIGAMUA, Page 2 DATE UNCERTAIN: BoardOK's Gilmore execution Rvuling aid'U clerical cause By LINDA WILLCOX A recent ruling by the Michigan Employe Relations Commis- sion (MERC) regarding the right of public employes to distribute union materials could bolster the efforts .of University clerical workers, without a union since last summer, to reorganize their rank and file.I MERC's decision, handed down earlier this month, allows pub- lic employes to distribute union materials in non-work areas (cafe- terias, foyers, lounges, and parking structures, for example). during non-work hours. Koran asks U.S. asylum WASHINGTON (P) - A South Korean embassy officer who re- portedly is a ranking Korean intelligence agent has asked for asylum in the United States and has agreed to cooperate in a probe of a bribery scandal in- volving a number of U. S. con- gressmen, sources said last night. The sources identified the of- ficer as Kim Sang Keun, listed as a counselor at the South Ko- rean embassy. KIM WAS said to be under protective custody. A telephone call to his home in suburban McLean, Va., was answered by an American who refused to identify himself or to disclose Kim's whereabouts. "This appears to be some- thing akin to plea bargaining," one source said, of Kim's deci- sion to . seek asylum in this country. See KOREAN, Page 8 Patricia Schwartzmann and Marianne Jensen, both mem- bers of Clericals for a Demo- cratic Union (CDU), one of two factions comprising the old clericals union, United Auto Workers (UAW) Local 2001, hope the decision will help cre- ate interest in a new, union. Schwartzmann called MERC's ruling "heartening." The wom- en hope to begin organizing a new union next spring. Clerical§ voted in August to disband their old union, Local 2001, after elections last Janu- ary for union officers were con- tested and subsequently over- turned. On more than one occasion, Schwartzmannand Jensen were prohibited from passing out pe- titions and slates of CDU can- didates in the foyers and cafe- teria at University Hospital. It promoted 2001 to file an unfair labor practices complaint acainst the University. MERC's ruling is the result of that com- plaint. Schwartzmann said that union members have been "demoral- ized" since the decertification of 2001. "People are beginning to realize just what a union means." she said. Jensen and Schwartzmann said That CDU is proposing an independent clericals committee to get the reorganization pro- cess started. They said that CDU would not dominate the committee, but act as a caucus within it. See MERC, Page 3 By AP and Reuter SALT LAKE CITY - The way was finally cleared yesterday for condemned Utah killer Gary Gilmore to get his wish, execution before a firin squad. The three - riember Utah Pardons Board, after hear- ing an appeal . from the pale, emaciated Gilmore 'to be put to death, ruled two- to-one that his death sen- tence should not be com- muted. UTAH COUNTY Attorney No- all Wootton whose office pro- secuted Gimore, immediately submitted papers to the trial judge, Robert Bullock, to set a new execution date. Authori- ties have said the new date, though up to the judge, could be as early as next Monday. However, attorneys for the Utah branch of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and lawyers for other Death Row inmates indicated they would goo court to continue their efforts to stay the execu- tion. "We won't let the matter go enacted on," said Shirley Ped-. ler of the ACLU Utah affiliate after the decision. THE -EXECUTION would make Gilmore, convicted in the July murder of a motel clerk, the first person to be put to death in the United States in nearly 10 years. The Board ruling came after a two-hour-long hearing at which anti - capital punishment groups argued that the state, by executing Gilmore, would be helning him commit suicide. One speaker argued that Utah might touch off a bloodbath of killing among the more than 400 condemned prisoners now await- ing execution in death rows across the country. GILMORE, dressed in white prison clothes, with chains on his wrists and ankles and thin from a 12-day hunger strike, made derisory remarks abo t the people trying to save his life. "Have you got all your mar- bl s" he said to one. "Good grief!" he said on hear- i'ig another anti - capital pun- ishment argument. , "ALL I hae to say to all of See UTAH.

Most of the voting took place indoors as freezing tempera- tures forced many polling places inside. Voters rave cold in messy ~MSA election By LANI JORDAN and BOB ROSENBAUM Michigan Student Assembly (MSA) election officials said yesterday that voter turn-out for the first day of student government elections was not affected by frigid temperatures which caused several polling places to close ol be re- located. Two separate incidents of suspected "smear" campaign -literature also marked the opening of the three-day election. BECAUSE OF UNUSUALLY cold weather, MSA was forced to relocate some of its out- door polls. "We tried to rearrange things so as not to be cruel to election workers whp had to sit at the polls for hours at a time," said Assistant Election Director Monte Fowler. He added that many poll workers were "suffering" in the cold, while students would not stop to vote. The relocations presented several problems, Fowler explained. THE SITE LOCATED outside the Undergradu- ate Library could not be moved inside because of library policy.$ "We would have loved to set up inside the UGLI," Fowler said, "But they wouldn't let us." As a result, the site at the UGLI was trans- ferred to the lobby of the Modern Languages Building.

Teamsters Local 214 is bargaining agent for command officers in the Ann Arbor Police Department, officers and deputies in the Washteiaw County Sheriff's Department, and over 2,000 other law enforcement officers statewide. THE EXECUTIVE Board of the 8,000 member Police Associa- tion voted Monday to expel Local 214 after receiving a letter from to make available "full union services" to its member departments that wish to use them. The proposal, which will involve increasing POAM dues from $1 to $2 a month per officer, goes before the special delegates' convention in January for ratification. It would put POAM in direct competition with the Teamsters Union. 'In a period of time, the POAM (Police Ofi- cers Association of Michigan) almost non-functional.
