Former Rep. blasts

By STEVE BLONDER
Former Congressman Paul
Findley (R-Ill.) addressed about 100
people last night on what he
considers to be the dangers of the
pro-Israel lobby, American Israel
Public Affairs Committee.
Findley is the author of "They
Dare to Speak Out," in which he
describes how AIPAC infringes on
the right to free speech. He said
AIPAC played a major role in the
successful effort to unseat him in
1982. But he said the defeat is not
the reason he speaks against the
Israel lobby.
"I found (Congress) terrified by
the lobby. They're convinced if
they should challenge what the
Israel lobby wants, they'll pay the

"Free speech is stifled because

Findley said.
FINDL EY said that large
numbers of military secrets are

U.S. government knowingly allows

GEO rallies for contract

By CARRIE LORANGER
The two candidates for the City
Council's Second Ward seat are
both running for political office for
the first time, but both have been
involved in city politics most of
their lives.
And although Republican Mary
Reilly and Democrat Terry Martin
both have a strong commitment to
lowering the city's crime rate, they
have different ideas about how to go
about it.
Martin, who has lived in Ann
Arbor for more than 35 years, said
one of her the top priorities is
increasing security and protection of
neighborhoods.

Citing many recent break-ins to
her neighborhood, she said, "Crime
is not a small matter. People are
scared."
In addition to hiring new
officers, Martin said the city should
assign one officer to each ward that
would give special attention to
schools. "The kids need someone
they can trust, someone everyone
would know," she added.
REILLY favors police patrol in
the downtown. "I am not sure that
we can afford to hire more officers,"
said Reilly. She suggested hiring
cadets, which would be much less
expensive than hiring new officers
at $50,000 per year each.

Both candidates agree the city
should make sure the police force is
utilizing its manpower to its full
potential before they hire new
officers.
Reilly questions Martin's
commitment to pay equity for city
employees, because Martin voted
against allotting equal funds to men
and women's athletic programs
while she was member of the
school board of education. She said
she favors equal pay for equal work
and if there is a discrepancy in the
city pay classifications between
men and women, they should be re-
worked. Reilly is a advocate of pay
equity.
Martin said Reilly's information
was incorrect. "As my memory

serves me, which was some 13
years ago, I had voted for Title IX. I
may have voted against females
being in all the same sports males
are.
Reilly also said Martin voted
against hiring special teachers for
those students whose native
language is not English. Martin
added that she voted against hiring
more teachers for.bilingual students
because, at the time, there were
over 26 foreign languages
represented in the school district.
"The parents wanted their kids to
learn English anyhow," she added.
MARTIN does not favor the
housing millage, which would
generate $4 million over the next
five years to subsidize low-income
building costs.

waivers, salary increases, or a
combination.
Haddy reiterated that the TAs
would rather settle than strike.
"We want very much to come to
an agreement... not just any
agreement, though," she said. "We
want a contract that we can live.
-with. We want to be able to survive
economically... and intellectually,"
she said, adding that with a higher
paying contract, TAs will not have
to take extra jobs and can devote
their time to academic pursuits.
Guild House campus minister
Ann Marie Coleman lended her
support to the GEO. "Your struggle

s"pport," she said. "Better teaching
assistants make a better university."
The third speaker, English TA
Whitney Hoth, attacked the
mJ'niversity for not meeting GEO
demands.

can't afford part-time teachers,"
'1oth said. "We want teachers to
devote all their time to teaching."
Many TAs currently have to take
'side jobs to "make ends meet,"
troth said.
Only when the lowest paid TA
earns (the minimum needed to live

in Ann Arbor) will there be real
education at Michigan."
Diane Young, English TA,
asked undergraduates to support of
the union.
"I ask you, my students and
teachers, my community," she said,
"to support us as we begin the
work of righting an institution un -
balanced by the discrepancy between
its ideals and its practices."
The last speaker, English TA
Elizabeth Calhoun; spoke on
GEO's history, focusing on the
month-long strike in 1975. During
that strike, the newly-formed GEO
fought over many of the same
issues: a tuition waiver, class size
limits, and salary increases.
The cost of living has increased
more so this year due to a new tax
law that taxes previously exempt
graduate student income. Under the
new law, any grants, scholarships,
and fellowships that exceed tuition
and related costs are taxable, as well
as interest payments on educational
loans. While tuition waivers have
not previously been taxed, those in
excess of $5,250 can be taxed under
the new law.
The GEO plans to stage a rally
outside Shapiro's home Monday in
their final attempt to get their point
across before mediation begins next
Tuesday.

Surrogate. contracts
need legal clarification

HACKENSACK, N.J. (AP) -
A judge's upholding of a surrogate
parent contract in New Jersey after
an Indiana judge ruled one invalid
last year heightens the need for laws
to clarify the sensitive issue, law -
yers said yesterday.
"Surrogacy has potentially
devastating civil liberties impl -
ications for all parties involved. We
have to proceed very carefully and
very thoughtfully," said - Susan
Sangree, an attorney with the
American Civil Liberties Union's
Reproductive Freedom Project in
New York.City.
Superior Court Judge Harvey
Sorkow's decision in the "Baby M"
case Tuesday granted custody of the
year-old girl to her father, William
Stern. It denied parental rights to
Mary Beth Whitehead, who had
agreed to bear the child for Stern
and his wife via artificial
insemination. Mrs. Stern adopted
the baby Tuesday.

Attorneys for Mrs. Whitehead,
who had changed her mind after
agreeing to a $10,000 surrogate
contract, filed for a stay of the de -
cision Tuesday. They said the case ...O h, what a bea utifu
probably will be appealed directly
to the New Jersey Supreme Court,
and that arguments are expected wi - day
thin four months.
Sorkow's strongest message, le-
gal experts said, was a call for help
from the nation's legislatures.
No state regulates surrogate par-
enting. Sixteen states have delved
into the issue, with bills either pen-
ing or defeated in their legislatures.
