( , P , t t YT Ftttll Vol LXXXI, No 31-S Ann Arbor, Michigan-Thursday, June 17, 1971 Ten Cents Eight Pages Senate foils 'end the war' amendments - WASHINGTON A-The Senate yesterday defeated the controversial Hatfield-McGovern amendment to the draft extension bill by a 55 to 42 vote. The Senate also rejected a last-minute substitute pro- posal by Sen. Lawton Chiles, Jr. (D-Fla.) which would have cut off funds for the Vietnam war by June, 1972 provided that U.S. prisoners were released 60 days before that time. That proposal was defeated 55 to 44. The Hatfield-McGovern amendment, authored by Sens. Mark Hatfield (D-Ore.) and George McGovern (D-S.D.) had set a Dec. 31 cut-off - - - - - - SEN.

After the vote, Hatfield said that he was not surprised as much as disappointed at the outcome. "Fifty-one senators have at one time or another indicated their support for withdrawal at a specific time. The problem is we haven't found a date on which the 51 will agree," he said. Hatfield also said there is a "very good likelihood" that there will be a filibuster on the bill to extend the draft law which expires June 30. Michigan Democratic Sen. Philip Hart was one of the 34 Democrats supporting the bill, w h i 1 e Michigan's Republican Sen. Robert Gr if f in voted against it. The Chiles amendment was worked out in a series of con- ferences during the afternoon while debate on the floor was in progress. The debate was inter- spersed w it h time - delaying quorum calls. Hatfield and McGovern sup- ported the Chiles amendment after the Florida Democrat re- vised an earlier proposal that carried a June 30, 1972 date for cutoff of funds and provided for the suspension of the dead- line if the President said he was unable to gain freedom for American prisoners of war. See DRAFT, Page 6 Regents to meet over 'U' budget Budgetary considerations high- light the relatively meager agen- da for the Regent's June meet- ings today and tomorrow. Before the public meeting at 11 a.m. tomorrow, the Regents will hear a report regarding the budget from Vice President for State Relations and Planning Fedele Fauri-recently returned from financial fact - finding in Lansing. With the state's financial ap- propriation to the University still uncertain despite the fast - ap- proach of the new fiscal year, the Regents are expected to order a temporary continuation of the present budget through July and possibly August. Other Regent's business is rather routine, according to Ri- chard Kennedy, secretary of the University. "The fact that the Regents closed meeting today is not be- ginning until 3 p.m. is indicative that there is less than a full agen- da for the meetings this month," Kennedy explained. S By ROSE SUE BERSTEIN The University's Commission on Women has criticized the Executive Officers for the Uni- versity's handling of a recent grievance involving alleged sex discrimination. In a letter sent Monday to the officers and made public yester- day, the commission requested a review of the case of Research Associate Cheryl Clark Grad., of the Highway Safety Research In- stitute (HSRI) whose request for pay adjustment to compensate for alleged sex bias was denied last month by the University. Clark filed a complaint last January, alleging that a salary gap of $3,400 between her and a male worker, in the same job classification at essentialy the same work constituted sex dis- crimination. Clark's case went through the usual University employment grievance procedure, which in- cludes a hearing before a com- plaint Review Committee. Hear- ing Clark's case were Manager of Employe and Union Relations James. Thiry, Jay Katz, assist- ant to the director of the snatitute for Science and Technology, of which HSRI is a branch, and Jean Campbell of, the Women's Commission. When the University gave its opinion - written by Thry - on May 28, Campbell issued a dis- senting opinion. The Commission supported Campbell's statement, contending that Thiry's decision "philosoph- ically violated the University's over-all commitment t o w a r d ' . . . achieving salary equity be- tween men and women having equivalent responsibilities, per- formance and qualifications.' " Specifically the Commission objected to the following. proce- dures used in Clark's case: -Clark allegedly did not Know what information wp's to be used at her hearing until the Thiry de- cision was rendered; -The Commission's represen- tative although included in the hearing, played an "ambiguoua" role in the decision-making pro- cess; and -Tlse parties who determine the disposition of the complaint are those whose "original deci- sions are the basis for the conĀ±- plaint." The Commission further criti- cized the review .committee for considering "only job - related qualifications", in determining the validity of salary differential. In addition it charged the Uni- versity with the burden to prove "the relevance of those criteria used to justify salary differen- tials." Also questionedwas Thiry's use of the term "market value" in referring to Clark's skills.
