The Michigan Daily-Thursday, April 14, 1988- Page3 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.

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. By MELISSSA RAMSDELL 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. - Melissa Ramsdell Spring $1 Days Lease any apartment between April 1 and April 30, 1988 for $100. (Applied to September rent) 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.
