Accusations continue
in Mayday aftermath

By JIM IRWIN
Charges and counter-charges
continue to mark the aftermath
of the Mayday Washington dem-
onstrations, highlighted by the
President's denouncement of the
antiwar protesters as "vandals
and hoodlums and lawbreakers."
Nixon praised the way Wash-
ington police dealt with the
demonstrations and dismissed as
"exaggerated," widespread cri-
ticism that constitutional rights
were suspended in the mass ar-
rests of Mayday demonstrators.
Meanwhile, over half of the
remaining arrest cases result-
ing from the Mayday demon-
strations have been dismissed

SEX BIAS:
Ed. school bars frat
from_____.Using facilities
By ROSE SUE BERSTEIN
The educational honorary fraternity Phi Delta Kappa (PDK) has
been barred from using University facilities because of its member-
ship policy which prohibits women members.
The University's chapter of PDK attempted to enroll two women
members last March, but the national organization refused to con-
sider their membership valid.
Education school Dean Wilbur Cohen said Tuesday that "no
space, time or money of any staff member of the School of Educa-
tion or University project money may be used to support Phi Delta
Kappa business until their policy has been changed."
Sister Eileen Rice, Grad. and
Judith Keefer, Grad. became the
first women initiates of PDE
last March. Neither of them be-
came a member of PDK how-
ever.

STICKER, Page 10 . . ter had tried to do. -

By JONATHAN MILLER
Washtenaw County Catholic Social Services
(CSS) has fired one of their social workers be-
cause he refused to remove a "Berrigan for Pope"
bumper sticker from his car.
Stating that "the appointment of the Pope is
the perogative of the College of Cardinals," offi-,
cials told George Mercier, 40, to either remove the
bumper sticker or lose his job,
Mercier, who is not Catholic, chose to let the
$8.000 a year job go instead of the bumper sticker.
"I was told that the agency would not permit
employes to display the bumper sticker while us-
ing their cars on agency business or parking their
cars on agency property. I felt I had a right to
display the sticker and I refused to remove it,"
Mercier said yesterday.
Mercier said he and some friends made the
red and black bumper stickers because, "we in-
tended to make a political statement."
