9 Page 2-Saturday, November 21, 1981-The Michigan Daily Professor discusses union effects, By JULIE HINDS Professors unionize to gain power, not salary increases, according to the president of the Wayne State University faculty union. "Re-establishing faculty power is the main reason for the growth of unions. Very few people go into collective bargaining to get more money; the primary impetus for unionizing is to gain or retrieve some force on campus for the faculty," Human Professor Norman Kopmeyer said Thursday durin g a visit to Ann Arbor. Kopmeyer leads the Wayne State chapter of the American Association of University Professors, which has been the faculty union there since 1972. COMMENTING on the curent situation between faculty and ad- ministration at the University of Michigan, Kopmeyer said faculty members here may not have much say in administrative decisions. "With the experience you've had here in the last few years with large amounts of money being spent on something without faculty appeal, such as the new hospital, it seems as if the faculty may not have enough voice," Kopmeyer said. The Wayne professor said he hopes the unionization petition submitted by physic department members to faculty governance groups will be given "full attention," and suggested that the Senate Assembly Committee on Univ- ersity Affairs hold hearings on unionization and include testimony from faculty members currently unionized at other colleges. KOPMEYER predicted University of Michigan faculty would have im- mense difficulties in forming a union, since at such a highly ranked institution professors place their first loyalty with their academic discipline, not with the University faculty as a whole. Although salary considerations are not the major reason for unionization, there will be growing conflict about the University of Michigan's system of awarding salary increases based on merit, Kopmeyer said. "With the diminuition of resources, if the academic hotshots - as I think you call them - are to be extravagantly rewarded, other faculty members will suffer," Kopmeyer said. KOPMEYER SAID the AAUP at Wayne State decided to give all faculty some salary increases, although con- sideration is still given to individual faculty merit in deciding raises. Wayne State granted last year's 6 percent salary increase to professors on the basis of their departmental rank. The departments then received 2 percent of the salary pool to distribute as they saw fit - either equally among professors or disproportionately on a merit basis. At Wayne State, Kopmeyer said, the union and faculty governance groups coexist comfortably, with the union guaranteeing that decisions made by faculty governance are enforced. A University Council, similar to the University's Senate Asembly still operates at Wayne State and makes decisions on academic matters. Economic concerns, however, are the responsibiltiy of the union. "The Council continues to operate, but under a more finite sphere," Kop- meyer said. Kopmeyer said Wayne State's union strengthens the weak bargaining role professors have under faculty gover- nance groups. "It is said the faculty will often sit on both sides of the bargaining table, but a union will never do that,' Kopmeyer said. Kopmeyer said he has not noted a problem of friction between faculty and administration at Wayne State that is often a biyproduct of unionization. Profs say union threat may raise salar ies (Continued from Page 1) "I would be totally opposed to unionization," said Law Professor Doublas Kahn. "If the faculty unionized I would reconsider my position here." Kahn said a union would ignore distinctions in talent among the faculty by bargaining for faculty members as equal units, leading to less reward for individual work. THE UNIVERSITY'S merit-based salary system grants increases based on excellence in teaching and research. It enables the University to attract and keep important and promising scholars-the so-called academic hot- shots-by granting them higher salary increases. Unionization of the faculty would tend to level faculty salaries. . A perceived lack of faculty in- volvement in University decisions is another reason for a union, said Engineering Humanities Professor Robert Weeks. Weeks, local chapter president of the American Association of University Professors, said professors are forced to unionize when they feel they have no influence in im- portant University decisions. HE DESCRIBED current faculty relations with the University ad- ministration as fragile. "I don't feel they faculty role in the determination of University economic policies is given the credence it should be given," Weeks said, describing current faculty governance on a University-wide basis as "virtually nonexistent; advisory at best." Weeks said the future of faculty unionization largely depends on how faculty opinions about budget cuts are considered by the University ad- ministeration. "IF FACULTY views are weighted and given appropriate consideration, despite the miserable economic situation we're in we will continue to have a working relationship with the administration that doesn't necessarily call for unionization," Weeks said. He said faculty involvement in making University policy might be strengthened, through the creation of additional faculty governance commit- tees. "The administration shouldn't throw out a hasty plan for more faculty in- volvement as a stop-gap to collective bargaining though," Weeks warned. OTHER PROFESSORS, said they believed unionization would diminish, rather than enhance, faculty influence. University Economics Professor Harvey Brazer said *he sees unionization as setting the faculty against the administration, ruining a relationship he currently describes as "very open." Daniel Fader, a professor of English, said he prefers a positive relationship with the University administration over a higher salary. "A union passes out of control of the people in the union to those who know a lot about getting raises and not about faculty conditions," Fader said. The official administration position on a possible faculty union is neutral, said Charles Allmand, assistant to the vice president for academic affairs. Administration officials, however, have reportedly been displeased about this latest faculty union effort. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Trial for Sadat's alleged assassins to begin today CAIRO, Egypt- Twenty-four alleged Moslem fanatics will be tried by military court today on murder charges in the assassination last month of President Anwar Sadat. Conviction carries an automatic death penalty. The procedures for the first public session of the trial include a roll call of all the defendants, followed by a reading of the charges facing each defen- dant and a submission of their pleas, according to a military source. The authoritative magazine October said the procedures also include the naming and summoning of witnesses, and possibly the presentation of the prosecution's case. Polish schoolchildren, teachers declare readiness to strike WARSAW, Poland- More than 125,000 high school and grade school students declared a "strike alert" yesterday, prompting the Communist Party to denounce the Solidarity union for subverting Polish youth. The students, joined by some 12,000 teachers in Lublin near the Soviet bor- der, declared their readiness to boycott classes and join other students who went on strike Thursday at two of the city's 60 high schools. They were seeking the expulsion of a local school's superintendent. Spokesmen for Solidarity, which represents the teachers in the region, said 42 grade schools had joined the strike alert. China celebrates sports victory PEKING- Sports mania has hit China, unleashing a brand of spontaneous celebrating not seen in this highly regimented society since the end of the chaotic Cultural Revolution was glorified in mass demonstrations. China's leaders are heralding the women volleyball players who brought the world cup home after unseating Japan's champions this week as patriotic heroes. But mixed with the exuberance over this new wave of nationalism is a concern the fervor is getting out of hand, foreign political observers say. Like zealous Super Bowl or World Series fans in the United States, sports fans this week poured into the streets and Tienamen Square to jubilan- tly-and sometimes rowdily-honor their victoriuos soccer and volleyball teams. The wildest celebrating was Sunday night, when cheering crowds estimated at up to 100,000 streamed into the vast central square, waving tor- ches, swinging from lampposts and lighting firecrackers to mark the women volleyball players' defeat of the U.S. team that advanced China in the eight- nation world cup tournament in Japan. Business, labor spurn call for strike in Northern Ireland BELFAST, Northern Ireland- Labor, business and political leaders urged Protestants yesterday to reject the Rev. Ian Paisley's call for a general strike to protest Britain's inability to smash the mainly Catholic Irish Republican Army. But the firebrand minister and member of Parliament told reporters, "I'm encouraged by the vast amount of support coming in for the stoppage. Monday will be just the start of the protest. We can put large numbers of people on the streets." Paisley's main industrial support so far comes from 400 electricity workers at the Ballylumford power station north of Belfast, largest of the province's four power plants. Officials said, however, that a walkout would have little impact. eOn Thursday, major Protestant paramilitary organizations, led by the Ulster Defense Association, declared they would not support the stoppage. And yesterday, the Ulster Workers Council-an alliance of labor unions and paramilitary groups-announced its opposition.

I a AATA to offer all-night dial-a-ride service (Continued from Page1)' PIRGIM director Rick Levick said the UMTA decision to fund the project was "long overdue" and a "major ac- complishment" for PIRGIM. PIRGIM's next step, he said, is to "make sure that people know about the service" through posters, flyers, and letters encouraging announcement of the service in sororities and dor- mitories. City Council Representative Lowell\ Peterson said he was pleased with the approval of the funding for the project, but cautioned that continuation of the program past the year of federal fun- ding would depend upon the program's success in that first year. "WE'VE GOT to make it work for that one year," Peterson said, adding that there is a "good chance" the city could pitch in funds for continuation of the system "if it is successful." Task force member Nancy Lutz said, that the task force "hopes a lot of women use it (the all-night'program." Some PIRGIM members expressed disappointment that the program had not been implemented earlier. Lutz said that the task force had pushed very hard to implement some sort of all- night transportation before last sum- mer because there are more rapes during the summer.

January bogged down many grant ap- plications, including AATA's. "Nothing was being approved (last spring)," Simonetta said. AATA became involved ip the push for an all-night system to provide tran- sportation after regular bus hours when PIRGIM members submitted a list of demands last November, which in- cluded the proposal for the subsidized taxi service. Protests curb British ga me LONDON (AP) - Manufacturers of "Bombshell" - a children's game in which a bomb-disposal squad is blown up - took the toy off the market yester- day after receiving a wave of protests, including one from Prince Charles, whose great-uncle was killed by an IRA bomb. The heir to the British throne said the game was in "dreadfully bad taste." THE P14OTEST began with the family of an explosives expert killed by an IRA bomb and reached Parliament yesterday. The manufacturer, Waddingtons House of Games Ltd. of Leeds, first an- nounced it had no plans to withdraw the game - but then reversed itself as the protest grew and major department stores began pulling it from the shelves. "Bombshell" went on the market six months ago backed by a television ad- vertising campagin, selling for up to $13 and billed as "explosively funny for those aged 6 and upwards." NO FIGURES were available from the company on how well it sold, but one department store, Selfridges, said the store bought six as a trial and sold all of them. The store was among those that decided to stop selling the game before Waddingtons stopped production. Players are instructed help "four brave but bungling soldiers" -Maj. Disaster, Sgt. Jimmy Jitters, Private Tommy Twitters, and Piper Willy Fun- ble - defuse an unexploded bomb. Along the way, the soldiers get stick- on bandages from head to foot. Four in- juries and the player is out. The winner is the player with the surviving soldier. In Northern Ireland, where 17 bomb disposal experts have been killed since 1971, a spokesman for Austins, a Lon- donerry department store, said "Thank- Editor-in-thief....................SARA ANSPACH Managing Editor.................JULIE ENGEBRECHT University Editor.................
