Meyer said.
"The feminization of society will save
the world. The power games that men
who rule are playing must stop," he
said.
This does not mean men should

"The ideal mixture is an an-

men should be more gentle," Meyer

MEYER added that men have a hard
time being feminists.
"A man will alienate himself from
other men, and also find it hard to con-

will look at him suspiciously," Meyer
said.

looks on.
PIRGIM contract to go before regents
(Continued from Page 1)
"When funding started on the SVF in
972, registration was very different,"
Forovitz said. "There was no CRISP -
people waited in lines for much longer
periods of time, and PIRGIM was able
to solicit support and talk about what it
was doing."
HE SAID the group doesn't have the
time to explain their activities. Many
students, he said, are suspicious of
PIRGIM.
"A new way of funding would be to
verybody's advantage," Horovitz
said.
In 1981 and again in 1983, PIRGIM
proposed the reinstatement of the
refusable/refundable assessment for
all students that had been in effect from
1974 through 1978.
"UNDER THAT system, PIRGIM's $2
was billed directly to each student's
tuition payment unless he or she
requested otherwise.
Horovitz said this system is in use
with about 90 percent of the PIRGs in
le country.
.Though PIRGIM members collected
5,000 student signatures in support of
the organization in 1983, anothe group,
SWRAP, the Student Committee for
Perform and Progress gathered almost
7,000 signatures asking the regents to
take PIRGIM off the form.
THE REGENTS voted against both
proposals at their March, 1983 meeting,
but allowed PIRGIM to continue under
the current system.
At that meeting, regents Thomas
Roach (D-Detroit) and Deane Baker
(R-Ann Arbor) voted to discontinue the
contract, and Nellie Varner (D-
Detroit), who voted to renew it, warned
PIRGIM that if it did not succeed in
gaining more student support by the
next renewal, she would not support the
group.
The consensus was that the regents
were not against PIRGIM, the
organization, but they questioned its
legitimacy on the SVF without meeting
the original requirement of student
support. *
SUPPORT OF PIRGIM peaked in
1976, when 76 percent of the students
contributed. Fall Term 1984 marked an
all-time low in the group's backing with
only 11.6 percent of students paying the
$2 fee.
Horovitz said that the committee will
make a recommendation that will be
very different from the
refusable/refundable assessment that
they sought a few years ago.
But Kristen Haas, PIRGIM's coor-
dinator, said "We don't want to be off
the SVF necessarily." She speculated
that new proposals may include a
PIRGIM station at CRISP, integrating
the group into the registration process.
Another alternative, she said, is to
solicit support directly through the
mail. Along with his bills, each student
would receive information about
PIRGIM and the opportunity to donate.
This week PIRGIM will conduct
a campus-wide petition drive to collect
signatures in support of its request for a
one year extension. PIRGIM members
said they expect to gather about 2,000
student signatures, although the
petitions aren't necessary to obtain the
renewal.
