"THE DEMAND for energy in

that eventually the oceans' tem-

"That would add another 300

Brower called for "a near-

"Will a cut to half our individ-

While charges of sexism and
r a c i s m were being leveled
against University administra-
tors, Frye, undaunted, quietly
carried out his administrative
duties under the tenuous title of
acting dean.-
"I wasn't as shaken by the
whole affair as people suspect-
ed," Frye says in retrospect,
"I found certain moments dif-
ficult-times when I thought the
college was being torn up by it
all-but it wasn't very unpleas-
ant for me personally."
"IN FACT," he added, "I
kind of enjoyed the insecurity
of being the acting dean. If I
didn't do a good job,, it would
have been easy to rectify."
Admittedly apprehensive to
discuss the details surrounding
the deanship controversy, Frye
is more willing to outline his
plans for the future. While
acknowledging that s e v e r e
budget restrictions will create
his biggest administrative head-
ache, he saysheaviews that
problem as a "challenge."
"I don't mean to sound eup-
hemistic," said Frye, "but I
think we will be able to reallo-
cate our resources. What we
will have to do is develop an
extremely dynamic system of
priorities.
"WE'RE GOING to be scrut-
inizing every program in the
college. But because most of
our departments are quite big,
it's far more likely that we'll be
looking at sub-programs within
the departments with more of
an eye to cutbacks," he said.
"Yot don't have to maintain

hiring," he added.
However, the administration
is "thinking about making ex-
ceptions to the freeze if an
outstanding minority candidate
comes along," Frye added,
"WE'RE trying to get one
black candidate now, who is so
outstanding that everyone in the
country is trying to get him."
On the issue of student ap-
pointments to University and
department committees, Frye
claims he stands "parallel to
the position of most of the
faculty."
Although admitting that stu-
dents "play an important role!
in the operation of many com-
mittees," Frye draws the line
on student input where the LSA
Executive Committee is con-
cerned.
The college's executive com-
mittee has, among its other
functions, the power to review
recommendations for tenure.
"THE EXECUTIVE commit-I

that has no'student input, and

Long distance is a great value anytime, but it's at
its best when you dial direct at these times:
after 5 p.m. within Michigan,
after 11 p.m. out of Michigan,
after 5 p.m. Friday till 5 p.m. Sunday.
So, if you're bogged down in a tragic dilemma (Greek
or mathematical), don't suffer in silence.
Pick up your phone...dial direct and,..

IF GEO WERE to' affiliate,
the union dues would go up to a
possible $18.00 a term. Many
GEO members are opposed to
such a raise.
Tyma said, "We will be pay-
ing apiproximately $25,000 a year
for affiliation."
"We will loss some control
over our destiny. We have a
strong position in affirmative
action which the MFT doesn't.
They say they will pay some of
GEO's arbitration costs but only
the ones they deem necessary.
This could work to our disad-
vantage. If GEO had the money,
we could spent it in our own
way," said Tyma.
"THEY CLAIM that we'll be
getting expertise in bargaining
and legal aid," said Tyma, "but
we get stuck with their law-
yers."
If GEO could take this money
and hire their own lawyers and
researchers, T y m a explained,
they would be assured that they
would receive aid that they
needed and wanted
Mindes said another drawback
to affiliation is that "local au-
tonomy' would be undermined."
IF GEO were to join MFT,
they would be one of the five
largest locals in MFT. Mindes
felt that this would give GEO a
considerable amount of power.
Mindes said, "They will only
give us help if we ask for it.
We have total control over
them. 'They can't exert any con-
trol over us."
Nancy Conklin, GEO presi-
dent. said, "It's hard -to say
what the voting tirn-out will be.
In the previous election we had
a 52 per cent turn-out." She
hd no idea if the membership
wo-ld be for or against affilia-
tion.
Schwartz said, "If we don't
have 600 people voting I'll be
very disaunointed. We are even
going around personally to get
members to vote.
S -'Iwartz felt that GEO would
vote for affiliation.

When someone drinks too
much and then drives, it's the silence
that kills. Your silence.
It kills your friends, your
relatives, and people you don't even
know. But they're all people you
could save.
If you knew what to say,
maybe you'd be less quiet. Maybe
fewer people would die.
What you should say is, "I'll
drive you home." Or, "Let me call a
cab." Or, "Sleep on my couch
tonight."
Don't hesitate because your
friend may have been drinking only

coffee never made anyone sober.
Maybe it would keep him awake
long enough to have an accident;
But that's about all.
The best way to prevent a
drunk from becoming a dead drunk
is to stop him from driving.
Speak up. Don't let silence be
the last sound he hears.
