There's nothing especially glamorous
about being a waitperson at the local
diner.
Bud add some fun, sun. and a sUm-
mer resort atmosphere and being a
waitress, busboy, maid or cashier
becomes an exciting summer job.
AND EVERY year, hundreds of
college students turn rather mundane
jobs into fun. They work at summer
resorts such as Mackinac Island, a
small island in the state's Upper Penin-
sula.

By BARBARA LOECHER -
U.S. Civil Rights Commission Chair-
man Clarence Pendleton has called
"Comparable Worth" a "loony tune"
and Patricia Curran is not amused.
"He is not very original," said
Curran, director of the Office of Women
and Work at the state's labor depar-
tment.
tment, before she spoke in support of
comparable worth yesterday at an
American Civil Liberties Union-
sponsored forum.
"HE MADE the same comments
about child labor, the 40-hour workweek
and the eight-hour day," she said.
Supporters believe men and women
who provide services of comparable
worth to employers should receive
equal pay.
Critics, however, claim that equal
pay requirements will interfere with
the free market system. And Curran
admits that "Comparable Worth" "is
going to interfere with the absolute
freedom employers have to arbitrarily
evaluate and classify jobs." She said
she does not consider arbitrary
freedom basic to the free market
system.
"WE'RE NOT ASKING employers to
change their evaluation systems," she
said, "we're asking them to use one job
evaluation system for all their em-
ployees. We're asking them to deter-
mine the value of work done... without
taking gender into account."
Curran also said that employers
"don't value work traditionally done
by women." She added that she doesn't
believe employers do this intentionally.
A study conducted by the Office of
Women and Work, she said, revealed

that many evaluations that
discriminated on the basis of sex were
not intentional.

Howlett added that "graduate school
is where most students receive their
technical education." He said, "there's
no reason they should be kept out of
eligibility for competitive scholar-
ships."
THE COMPETITIVE scholarship bill
is the first of six bills sponsored by ten
Democrats in the House of Represen-
tatives and called the Democratic Plan
for Educational Opportunity. The
remaining five will be introduced next
week.
"We have an $80 million gap between
available financial aid and the cost of a
college education in Michigan," said
Rep. Perry Bullard (D-Ann arbor), one
of the sponsors of the plan. "This
package will help close that gap in the
next fiscal year.'
"The Reagan administration's
proposed cuts in higher education
would decrease aid to 72,000 Michigan
students," Bullard said.
THE PACKAGE would affect an
estimated 25,000 Michigan students.

However, University Vice President
for State Relations Richard Kennedy
said that students would 'be "short-
changed in the end" if the bill was
passed.
"If in fact institutions didn't have suf-
ficient revenue to absorb the cuts in
their budgets, it would represent an
empty opportunity for the students
going to school there," said Kennedy.
"If the institutions become second-rate,
who's gaining?"
KENNEDY noted that if a univer-
sity's funds were cut, it might mean a
raise in tuition to make up the differen-
ce.
"If on one hand we use money to
provide student financial aid, but on the
other hand we raise tuition to maintain
quality, it's hard to say that students
come out winners."
Dan Sharp, an aide to Bullard, said he
thought that the legislature recognized
the problem and as one of the recom-
mendations, were proposing the ad-
ditional allocation of $2.7 million for the
universities' and college's operating
budgets as a "good will" gesture.

"Comparable Worth" advocates face
their most serious opposition in
Congress. "We're not getting adequate
attention," Curran said, adding that
Congressmen were discussing com-
parable worth but that is seems to be a
secondary concern on Capitol Hill.
When asked whether supporters of
comparable worth could rely on state
and local litigation when enforcing non-
discriminatory job evaluation, Curran
replied: "The evaluation process .is
going to be restructured one employer
at a time. I don't think we have to wait
for the Feds."

because of an irregular
edure. The NSF was for-

ced to merely read each proposal
instead of sending out experts to look at
every school because there were so
mnpy applicants, Atkins said.
"THE NSF has traditionally funded
smaller projects than ours," he said.
"It may have been that the reviewers
were not in tune with our different type
of proposal."
The schools that will receive the fun-
ding, Atkins said, were probably
looking for individual improvements

such as developing one new industrial
material, as opposed to the University's
desire for large scale research.
"Obviously it'ds a blow to us, but not
a critical one," Atkins said.'He added
that the college will make up for the lost
funds by seeking contributions from
private industry.
If the NSF ever specifies the
package's weaknesses, he said, the
college may re-evaluate it, and re-
submit it to the foundation again next
year.

THE REPORT has drawn criticism
from Ann Ryan, chair of the Michigan
Student Assembly's women's issues
subcommittee. Ryan, one of the
protesters who sat in Johnson's office
last January, claims the report's
recommendations are too vague.
Ryan also contends that the report
was drawn up without enough student
input. She said that although both the
committees included students as well
as faculty administrators as members,
"students' participation was not ac-
tively sought."
The student relations subcommittee,
of which she is a member, scheduled
their meetings haphazzardly and with
little regard for students' schedules,
Ryan charged yesterday.
"You'd expect Fran Foster (chair of
the student relations subcommittee)
would have had a list of schedules of the
students on the committees, but she
didn't," Ryan said. "People talk about
how students are irresponsible and
their attendance at these meetings
were intermittent, but they never ask
why."
RYAN SAID SHE HAS brought these
concerns to. the attention of Foster and

comment yesterday.
The report recommends that the
University assess "needs in the areas of
education and prevention programs, as
well as direct services."
"Needs assessment. By when, for
whom's needs, and according to whose
standards?" Ryan asks. "Quit
assessing and do something concrete."
She also questioned the necessity for an
assessment of the problems when
University administrators already had
a list of demands from the January sit-
in at Johnson's office.
