An abortion protest By DIANE LEVICK WHILE OTHER art fair booths are displaying colorfully glaz- ed pottery and hand-blown glass, the Right To Life Committee of Washtenaw County is showing full- color portraits of pickeled and suction-aborted fetuses. One photograph mounted on a panel of the booth at N. Uni- versity and State shows a 19 week- old fetus red with salt wounds from the abortive saline injection into the womb. Another pictures a pile of fetuses in a garbage can with the caption, "Human Gar- bage." The anti-abortion booth also has graphic picture postcards for sale. The postcards show an adult hand holding the smaller than thumb- size feet of a fetus. One young female booth worker said the cards were 'to attract people's attention." THE ORGANIZATION basically opposes abortion on the assump- tion that new life begins at the time of conception, and it has gathered supportive evidence from 1 Letters to Salaries To The Daily: AS A PUBLIC institution, first and foremost, the University is responsible to its constituents. Tax- payers' indisputable right toan account of University expendi- tures is incomplete unless all sal- aries are open for public scrutiny. Secondly, the University now has an unmistakeable legal require- ment to publish employee salaries. The decision in "Hay City Times v. Saginaw Valley College" leaves no room for compromise -the salaries must be made public. Publication of salaries is neces- sary to remove inequities that exist in the University's w a g e structure. The dangers inherent in a closed decision-making process are clearly prevalent tinder t he current procedures. We must re- move the possibilities for arbitr- ary and discriminatory wage pol- icies made by a one-man decision- making process. The recently released salaries of 'Michigan State University e m- ployees indicate the over-riding im- portance of opening up the wage structure to public scrutiny. A great deal of discrimination by sex and within departments was revealed by the M.S.U. disclosures. Publication of salaries would al- low the University to openly face the issue of equal pay for equal work. Without publication of salaries many employees are left in an un- tenable position; for they in u s t risk their good relationships with their supervisors in charging wage discrimination in oi'der to find out if there are in fact, such inequities. The Daily This process unduly stifles legi- timate grievances in some cases, while encouraging militancy in others. For all the above reasons we be- lieve that it is necessary for the pronpt publication of University salaries. -Women Law Students Assoc. -Student Government Council July 21 Bombing To The Daily: LAST NIGHT July 20) a small group of revolutionaries bombed an Armed Forces Recruiting station. This was not an act of wanton or random destruction. We did so in order to attack the U.S. military. The U.S. Armed Forces in Indo- china are killing the people of that area atunprecedented levels. For the Indochinese. the war is sot "winding down" but killing more of their people than ever be- fore. With the U.S.'s bombing of dikes in northern Vietnam tens of thousands will die from drowning alone. We can no longer sit passively and watch this terror and anguts'i inflicted on a tiny country by the strongest, most expensive Armed Forces ever assembled in history. People who have not yet been numbed by the endless lies of our government and the endless de- struction in Vietnam must do all in their power to physically obstruct and destroy our country's geno- cidal powers and policies. Bring the war home! -Committee Against Genocide July 21, 1972 doctors who back this controver- sial contention. However, the other volunteer didn't even know if her organiza- tion supported abortion if t h e mother's life was in danger. Along with bumper stickers that proclaim "Adoption - not abor- tion," the booth features such pamphlets as "I speak for the Unborn." Apparently feminists had n ot yet launched any full-scale attack on the anti-abortion group. A n d several young people just passed the booth with looks of disgust. Whispers of "That's gross," and "Do you believe that?" were aud- ible. Perhaps it was the heat that de- terred people from arguing with the Right To Life Group - or maybe it was aborrence that the group had dragged the issue down to such an emotional level. Strangely absent from the booth's collection of fetus photos were pictures of children not aborted but unwanted who are the victims of beatings or hunger. ON THE OTHER side of the of the Diag was another anti-abor- tion group called "Students in De- fense of Life," whose illustration collection was designed to prove the fetus is a living being. To this group, also, abortion is murder, but as one of its volun- teers, John Madura, says "We're trying to present our arguments on a rational basis to take the emotionalism out of it." Students In Defense of Life, a three-week-old campus organization with a very small membership thus far, says it believes a woman has the right to control her own body - "She has a right to de- cide whether to conceive and she has a right to decide to raise a child or give it up for adoption." But, its pamphlet continues, "Once a baby is conceived, it is not part of her body." Tell that to a woman who is stuck with an unwanted pregnancy for nine months. MEANWHILE, Paul Ramsey, a black student with the g r o u p. opposes abortion on a totally dif- ferent basis. "When I hear Zero Population, what I hear is black people," he says. He calls abortion "potential gen- ocide" in the hands of "The white power structure." He fears t h a t someday black women on welfare will be forced to have abortions if they want to collect their checks. As art fair visitors wander throughsuch paranoia and glaring emotionalism, let's hope they buy 'deas on abortion as carefully as they buy art work.

SATURDAY, JULY 22, 1972 News Phone: 764-0552 Defending private salaries The following is President Robben Fleming's response to The Daily's request for disclosure of the University's salary figures,. JT MUST BE obvious that there are conflicting rights - involved here. On the one hand, there is the right of the public to know how a university is using its money. And on the other hand, there is the right of the individual to his privacy. If one examines the question of the public's right to know about monies supplied to the University, it seems to me one comes up with the following: 1. The public certainly has a right to know that the money is being properly expended. This interest is presently well satis- fied by three different kinds of audits which we undergo. One is by the State Auditor. A second is by a private, outside audit- ing firm which the Regents employ each year. The third is by federal authorities where federal funds are involved. 2. The public is entitled to know that all laws, e.g., affirma- tive action laws, are being obeyed. This is satisfied by furnishing to enforcement agencies salary information which they want. tIN FURTHER examination, the argument that salaries ought to be disclosed for Affirmative Action purposes does not stand analy- sis. A single example will illustrate the point. There is presently pending an argument to Chapter 60 of Title 41 of the Code of Federal Regulations, adding a new part 60-30, which includes further guidelines against discrimination on grounds or religion or national origin. This proposed amendment has been published in the Federal Register and is currently under revision before being codified. If the argument that public employee salaries must be dis- closed to insure that Affirmative Action laws are being en- forced is valid, it folows that public agencies must also publish a list which will show the religious faiths and national origins of all of their employees. Surely this would be perceived by all as an invasion of privacy, yet it is not distinguishable from the matter of one's salary so far as the above argument is concerned. Accordingly, it is my recommendation that the University de- cline to release this information and prepare to defend against any legal action. Today's Staff ... .
