Speakers discuss
women's future at
'U'
By VICKI BAUER
The University must intensify its
recruitment of women faculty in or-
der to improve the environment for
all women on campus, said Carol
Hollenshead, director for Continuing
Education of Women, at a forum
yesterday.
HOLLENSHEAD and 10 other
women spoke to about 100 women
faculty, staff, and students about the
problems women face at t h e
University and the changes that need
to be made. Speakers at the "Speak
Out" were allowed four minute
presentations at one of two
microphones.
"Sexism at the University is alive
and well," said Rhetaugh Dumaz,
dean of the School of Nursing,
adding that women make up a dis-
proportionate number of the lower
level staff positions at the Univer-
sity.
At the University, 51 percent of
undergraduate students are women,
41 percent of masters degree students
are women, and only 33 percent of
students are women at the doctoral
level, Hollenshead said.
Virginia Nordby, director of the
Affirmative Action Office, which
sponsored the forum, said "Women
are a majority of students, but they
still do not share an equal role in
charting our country. The challenge
of educating women to be feaders of
'The challenge of edu-
cating women to be leaders
of our country still lies
ahead of us.'
VirginiaNordby
Director, Affirmative
Action Office
our country still lies ahead of us."
She added that few women hold
leadership positions in the govern-
ment or in major corporations.
DIRECTOR of Women's
Studies Beth Reed - pointing out
that there is only one tenured Black
woman faculty member in LSA -
said women of color must be
recruited to the faculty to act as
mentors for Black women students
and to teach minority literature.
"We feel under-resourced and very
exhausted," Reed said of the small
number of faculty in the Women's
Studies Department, where only one
full-time faculty member teaches.
The others, she said, are "borrowed"
frgm other departments.
In order to attract women faculty
members, the University must
change policies to include day-care
and maternity leave, said Jacquelynne
Eccles, assistant vice president for
research.
Day-care is necessary, she said,
because taking time off to have
children hinders many women fac-
ulty from competing fairly with men
faculty members for tenure.
MARJORIE LEVY, dean of
the School of Art, painted a more
positive picture of faculty
representation in her school, where
women make up 38 percent of full-
time faculty and 50 percent of part-
time faculty. Levy added that women
faculty members also represent a
broad spectrum of color and sexual
orientation.
"There are bright spots; there are
things happening in some places,
Levy said.
The speakers, including Director
of Sexual Assault Prevention and
Awareness Center Julie Steiner, ad-
dressed other issues including sexual
harassment, homophobia, and the
lack of facilities for disabled stu-
dents.
Dar Vander Beek, director for dis-
abled students, said the University
must create better facilities for the
disabled.
"We have no future because we
have no present," Vander Beek said,
adding that the University needs to
install toilets, water fountains, and
entrances for the disabled. She criti-
cized the University for having only
one 15-year old bus for disabled stu-
dents.

PANAMA CITY (AP) -
Marines tightened security
U.S.
at a
DoiyPnoto DbyLDAVID LUBSLINER
New addition
sprawling military fuel depot yester-
day after claiming they had repelled
40 to 50 intruders in a two-hour fire-
fight the night before.
It was the second time in two days
that U.S. military officials had re-
ported an intrusion at the depot, and
yesterday's report seemed sure to
worsen already bitter relations be-
tween the United States and the gov-
ernment controlled by Gen. Manuel
Antonio Noriega.
Panamanian officials scoffed at the
latest account, suggesting it was the
product of fear and imagination of the
part of inexperienced, edgy American
troops.
"That is their version and nothing
more," said Martin Alberto Paz, a
spokesperson for the Panamanian
Defense Forces, the 15,000-person
military and police unit that is the
source of Noriega's power.
"It seems they are trying to create
confusion," Paz added.
Col. Ron Sconyers, spokesperson
for the U.S. Southern Command,
said there were no apparent injuries
in the latest incident at the under-
ground petroleum storage facility at
Howard Air Force Base.
Sconyers said he could neither
confirm nor deny that the intruders
were Panamanian military personnel,
but said all were "reported wearing
dark uniforms."
Noriega is under federal indictment
in the United States on drug traffick-
ing charges. For months, he has
successfully resisted efforts by inter-
nal opposition and the Reagan ad-
ministration to oust him.

Assistant City Attorney Ronald
Plunkett said yesterday he will not
try the case against the University
student accused of assaulting two
safety officers, even though trial was
officially scheduled to begin today.
"There won't be any trial tomor-
row. It will either be adjourned or
settled, or some other resolution will
be made," said Plunkett, who refused
to state his reasons for postponing
the jury trial.
He added that Officer John Kin-
sey, the police official in charge of
investigating the case, was in the
process of notifying the witnesses
subpoenaed by the prosecution that
the case would not be tried.
Jonathan Rose, attorney for grad-
uate student Harold Marcuse, said the
delay will disappoint Marcuse and
himself. "We would like the case to
come to trial," he said. The case has
been postponed four times since the
POLICE NOTESJ
Sexual assault
. An Ann Arbor woman told police
she was raped in the 600 block of
Church Street on Tuesday, said Sgt.
Jan Suomala. The woman, 51, ac-
cused the suspect of first degree
criminal sexual conduct after he al-
legedly assaulted her in the building.
Suomala said the woman was able to
get away and call the police, who
caught the suspect and took him to
the police station. In the process, the
man kicked an officer in the leg, and
kicked a door frame off the police
car, a police official said.
County Prosecutor William Del-
hey did not find sufficient evidence
to press charges of criminal sexual
conduct, the-official said. The sus-
pect is being held on -personal bond
for charges of malicious destruction,
he said.
Break-in
Ann Arbor police are investigat-
ing a break-in in the 1000 block of
East University on Tuesday, Suo-
mala said. The door of the residence
was forced, and a hand gun worth
$425 was stolen.

Dec. 10 arraignment because Plun-
kett has repeatedly said he needed
more time to investigate the case.
Marcuse said Plunkett offered to
drop the two charges of simple as-
sault against him yesterday if Mar-
cuse would agree to serve a shift of
public service at the local homeless
shelter. As a compromise, Marcuse
said, Plunkett told him that Director
of Public Safety Leo Heatley would
work an equal shift at the shelter.
Marcuse said he turned down the
settlement because he wants a jury
trial. Plunkett refused to comment
about the settlement, and Heatley
was unavailable for comment.
Plunkett offered Marcuse a simi-
lar settlement two weeks ago, in
which he, not Heatley, would share
the public service duty. Again, Mar-
cuse refused because he wanted to be
tried by a jury.
Police and public safety witnesses
testified in the report that Marcuse
e today
assaulted Ann Arbor Detective Doti-
glas Barbour and Assistant Director
of Public Safety Robert Pifer during
a CIA recruitment visit last Novem-
ber. Marcuse has denied the charges
of assault, and no student witnesses
of either alleged assault are included
in the report.
Several students confronted Plun-
kett in his office on two occasions,
calling for the arrest of Assistant
Director of Public Safety Robert
Patrick, who they say assaulted
Marcuse during the protest. Plunkett
has not yet issued a warrant for his
arrest.
The police report describing the
incident contains testimonies from
witnesses who say Patrick kneed
Marcuse in the groin, using unnec-
cessary force. Patrick maintains he
was defending himself from attack.
Marcuse said he may file a civil
suit against Patrick after the criminal
suit against him is resolved.
This shanty, constructed yesterday on the Diag, was erected to show sup-
port for the Palestinians.
CORRECTION
On Tuesday, the Michigan Student Assembly, did not pass, but tabled a
resolution calling for the resignation of LSA Dean Peter Steiner.
