The Michigan Daily-- Friday, September 28, 1984-- Page 3 Candidate speaks out for women By STACEY SHONK Women in the United States cannot support Ronald Reagan for president if they support women's issues, a Democratic candidate for University regent said in a speech at East Quad last night. Lansing spoke to a group of about fif- ty people gathered for the second part of the Bullard film series, which focused on women's rights. SHE SAID that Reagan's victory in the 1980 election was decided by "ap- proximately 27 percent of those eligible to vote . .. the oldest, whitest, most masculine (constituents) to elect a president in recent history." Through the efforts of the League of Women Voters and the Democratic par- ty, Lansing said that "8-10 million more women will vote in this election than the last." In an election that she thinks will be closer than many believe, those ad- ditional voters could tip the scales in Mondale's favor. In electing governor James Blan- chard in 1982, she says women played a decisive role. Lansing has written several books concerning the voting patterns of women, and is credited with coining the phrase "gender gap." THE EASTERN Michigan University political science professor also urged students to exercise their right to vote. "Quit jogging for twenty minutes and get out and vote," she told the crowd. Also present at the film and discussion that followed was state Rep. Perry Bullard (D-Ann Arbor), who sponsored the event. Bullard blasted the Reagan ad- ministration for policies he said abuse human as well as women's rights. "I want to somehow communicate the difficulties we're going to have with promoting the rights of women, the dif- ficulty we're going to have with the militarization of society and ensuring social justice if we don't make a very crucial change in the White House," Bullard said. Mondale, Gromyko meet at United Nations From AP and UPI UNITED NATIONS - Walter F. Mondale, the Democratic presidential hopeful, met yesterday with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and said afterward he thinks there is an "opportunity . . . to make significant progress" on arms control and other issues when Gromyko meets President Reagan at the White House today. Mondale went into the meeting promising he did not want to upstage President Reagan, who made a con- ciliatory overture to the Soviets in a speech to the United Nations earlier thi week. "THERE WERE no commitments given to me at all," Mondale told a news conference after his 90-minute meeting with the Soviet foreign minister. "I did not try to get any com- mitment. I was not negotiating. But it's my judgement there is the possibility of an opportunity. We'll find out Speaking with Mondale, the Soviet statesman said he had advocatged "a turn for the better" in relations bet- ween the two nuclear giants and said: "some of the ideas suggested to (Mon- dale) in this context, should materialize in Washington policy and would open up certain possibilities for bringing the positions of the two powers closer, and for subsequent agreements on arms limitation and disarmament, above all in the field of nuclear weapons.'' Just hours before his meeting with Mondale, Gromyko spoke before the U.N. General Assembly. IN HIS speech, Gromyko made two specific proposals for resolutions to be enacted by the General Assembly - one preserving outer space exclusively for peaceful uses, and the other banning "state terrorism." As examples of such terrorism, Gromyko cited the U.S. invasion of "tiny Grenada which dared to assert its sovereignty," and Nicaragua, whose people "are heroically resisting in the face of an undeclared war organized by Washington." Reagan, in his U.N. address, called for a constructive dialogue with the Soviets, and U.S. officials described Wednesday's private meeting between Gromyko and Shultz as a "good start."

Ya e stafstrike begis second day . NEW HAVEN, Conn. (UPI)-Some 1,500 white collar workers, mostly women, continued striking against Yale University yesterday forcing students off the Ivy League campus for a second day into makeshift classrooms and to fast-food restaurants for meals. Their walkout-bolstered by the refusal of the 1,300-member affiliate .maintenance and food service workers' union to cross campus-wide picket line-failed to halt classes. But 12 of the 30 dining halls closed and a group of technicians stalled cancer research at the Yale School of Medicine. The largest strike in Yale's 83-year history stemmed from the union's rejection Tuesday of its first ever con- tract, on the grounds of alleged discrimination over wages and job security. Yale called it a final straw. Now new talks were scheduled and prospects of a long strike seemed likely. Most members of the local 34,. Federation of University Employees, are women. It represents 257 job titles, including secretaries, receptionists, operators, nurses, museum attendants, trainers, library aides, administrative assistants and research technicians earning an average of $13,400 per year. (Continued from Page 1) has a vote on student conduct rules un- der the present bylaws, the assembly essentially has no real power since the regents can take away that vote at any time. "THERE'S NO GAIN or loss of power if the regents do one thing or another because the power to do everything has always been vested in the board," Brown said. Brown, an attorney, protested students' arguments that they should be punished through civil courts rather than through an internal University system. "If they would rather go to jail, they don't know much about our criminal justice system," he said. If MSA flatly rejects a code, Brown said, he would give "serious con- sideration" to a bylaw change. MSA THIS week approved a resolution saying students would suggest revisions to the code if the regents and the administration would first guarantee that the assembly's veto power would not be taken away. "All we're asking is 'If you don't change the rules, we'll work with you.' I don't think that's unreasonable," said MSA President Scott Page. But Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Ar- bor) disagreed, saying MSA's request is "not a reasonable process.'' "IT'S LIKE saying, "I'll negotiate, if you give me the right to veto.' It's unusual that someone would ask something like that," he said. Asked whether he favored a bylaw change, Baker said he wasn't "prepared to make any judgement yet." But last spring Baker said he was willing to sidestep MSA in order to place a code on the University's books. Regent Sarah Power said she would not rule out the possibility of changing the bylaws, and said she would not make MSA any guarantees. "IF THEY (MSA members) come in. with flat demands, then I am sure (the demands) won't be.. . received," she added. Power said she supports a code because the majority of students she has heard either in private conver- sations or during public comments session at regents' meetings favor some type of guidelines. Regent Robert Nederlander (D- Detroit),tone of the authors of the rules for the University Community, the con- duct code that was adopted in 1973, said he would vote for a new set of guidelines if they were an improvement. NEDERLANDER would not say whether he would change the bylaws in order to replace the existing conduct rules. Regents James Waters (D- Muskegon) and Nellie Varner (D- Detroit) were not available for com- ment. Except for Dunn, all of the regents contacted said they thought the ad- ministration would eventually draft a code that both students and MSA could find acceptable. They said they would not change their bylaws until they were convinced students would outright reject any revision. But that position leaves students in a paradoxical situation, Page said. During MSA elections last April, students voted to give MSA's decision- making authority on the code to the en- tire student body. By direct vote, either during next April's MSA elections or in a special election, students will have to decide whether they want the proposed guidelines. Unless all students get the chance to' vote, MSA must reject any code, Page said. 1 4,789 to choose from - all subjects! Rush $2 for the current, 306-page cata- log.
