The 19-18 vote late yesterdayF afternoon rejected a move by supporters of abortion reform! to reconsider an earlier defeat of the bill. Only 'a majority of those sen- ators voting was required for re-! consideration. The measure failed to pass last week by a 19-17 vote. Sen. Gilbert Bursley (R-Ann Arbor), sponsor of the bill, said he was disappointed but refused to call the state Senate action a de- feat. He noted that it had taken the California legislature six years to reform abortion law. This is Michigan's third year. Yesterday's vote was the third in two years on abortion reform in the state. Sen. Lorraine Beebe (R-Dear- born), who is the state's only woman senator, charged the men who voted againstvthe reconsider- ation had been voting on their personal moral convictions rather than the wishes of their consti- tuents. Bursley pledged to continue the fight for abortion reform next: year and predicted victory at that time. 11 arrested ne ar EMU; area quiets. By JANE BARTMAN and EDWARD ZIMMERMAN Police called the situation at the Eastern Michigan Uni- versity campus last night "relatively quiet," reporting only a few scattered incidents of bottle throwing. Eleven arrests were made, 10 for violating the curfew imposed by Gov. William Milliken, raising the number of arrests to over 150. EMU spokesman Curtis Stadtfeld said in a radio broad- cast last night that students arrested for charges larger than violation of the curfew will be suspended, and those charged with violation of curfew will be put on probation. Dean of Students Thomas Aceto said later the decisionf was "not firm" but that "action will be taken against the students, of --Associated Press OHIO UNIVERSITY President Claude Sowle pleads for quiet while trying to talk to students on the steps of the administration building early yesterday morning.

Guard routs students MORE BENEFITS: 6 Economic report on facultyCasks changes By ROB BIER A report on the economic status of the faculty, including for the first time specific recommendations on faculty com- pensation, has been approved by Senate Assembly. In the past such reports have been statistical surveys comparing compensation at the University with that at other schools. According to law Prof. Stanley Siegel, chairman of As- sembly's Committee on Economic Status of the Faculty, the change was made because of "a catastrophic falling off of the economic status of the profession." Siegel said the committee believed the specific recom- mendations could be helpful by serving "a valuable function in communicating faculty de- sires to the administration."

The petition charges Arkinson with not allowing the arrested students their right to post 10 per cent of the bond and with setting unreasonable bond. Instead Ark- inson would allow posting the 10 per cent only if Delhey approved it. Delhey is charged with impeding the setting of reasonable bond and Harvey with interfering with the right of those arrested to have phone calls "and otherwise exer- cise their constitutional rights." Arkinson has set $1,000 bail for those charged with the misde- meanor of violating the curfew. Students charged with felonies have received up to $2,000 bail. A spokesman for the Ypsilanti Legal Services said that the usual bail for curfew violations is $50 or 30 days in jail. She added that maxi- mum is $500 or 90 days in jail. Most of the 48 arrested Wednes- day evening, primarily for violat- ing curfew, were arraigned in court yesterday. Charged with violating the curfew, they pleaded guilty to the charge, and received a sen- tence fining them $50 or 30 days in jail. Many of the students complain- ed that they had not had time to reach an attorney before the ar- raignment, and pleaded guilty on- ly because it was cheaper than raising the necessary bail of pre- ferable to waiting out the time for a trial in jail. "Most of the students were con- fused, and had not seen counsel before they appeared before the judge," said Defense attorney Peter Steinberger. "Either the sheriff didn't allow them phone calls or they didn't have someone to call."

A spokesman for Local 1583, which currently represents only maintenance workers, said the un- ion would like to encourage at least 50 per cent of the estimated 3,000 office workers to authorize the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) to represent them. Given this authorization, AFS- CME would petition the State La- bor Mediation Board to conduct a referendum among University of- fice employes. If two - thirds of those voting cast ballots in favor of union representation, a bar- gaining unit would be established. T h e members themselves would then negotiate their own contract and dues structure. "Office workers need bargain- ing power a n d grievance proce- dures," said Mrs. Neva Middleton, chairman of the organizing com- mittee. "These are skilled and ed- ucated people and yet their min- imum wage is $1.93 - 27 cents less than that of maintenance workers," she asserted. Mrs. Middleton, a University housekeeping employe, anticipates two problems in organizing office personnel into a union - fear of being f i r e d and opposition by short time office employes such as students and wives of students. "Workers have got to get over fear of losing their jobs," Mrs. Middleton said. "Under Michigan law employes are assured their right to collective bargaining," If the office workers opt for AFSCME representation, the un- ion would be their exclusive rep- resentative in negotiations with the University on all matters per- taining to wages, work hours, terms and conditions of employ- ment, and grievances arising un- der these terms and conditions.

Moreover, ording to their union reinstate the laid off can hire any addi- 1g in some areas, how- The outlook for University jobs is equal- ly as dismal. "University jobs are almost non-existent," says P. R. Zobian, an em- ployment representative in the part-time personnel office. He says one of the ma- jor problems is a lack of money. "It's not a general lack of dollars," Zo- bian explains, "but because June 30 is the end of the fiscal for the University, var- ious departments do not know what their budget requirements will be for the new writing from members of theI board that they are seriously in- terested in discussing the idea. "I'm convinced they will" return a firm commitment to discuss the matter, Morrony says. While a detailed proposal has yet to be drawn up and approved by the GA, Morrony says that a formalized proposal will be sent to members of the board by June. Although the board does not meet formally during the summer fmonths, board member Prof. Hen- ry Pollock says the issue of stu- dent representation will "probably be the first thing we take up in I the fall."
