in the Third Ward.
"In that ward, probably more than
in any other ward, you'll find people
voting issues and for the candidate,"
she said.
Richter's involvement with the
environmental movement may make
her choice to become a Republican
seem unusual. She received her de-
gree in environmental health from
the University in 1966. Since then,
she has coordinated a clean air dis-
trict program with the Sierra Club
and organized fundraisers to send lo-
cal children to environmental camp.
She said she chose the GOP be-
,cause "on local issues, I think the
,Republicans have shown themselves
to be moderate... That seems to fit
,the needs of the time."

But Meade retired two years ago
and said he now has the time to be
an effective council member. He
currently serves as a History teach-
ing assistant and as a board member
of the Ann Arbor Ecology Center, a
position that gives him insight on
solutions to the city's overflowing
landfill.
Meade helped draft an Ecology
'Center proposal that suggested
mandatory recycling to resolve the
solid-waste disposal crisis. The

assembly that "the committee be-
lieves that (Kittrie's) behavior re-
sul ted from an over-zealous desire to
promote the interests of MSA and
thus, the welfare of the entire student
body."
Belcher's report also accused Kit-
trie of "racially motivated attacks,"
and asserted that 11 of 14 people
named in the investigation were mi-
norities. The committee's report said
"there was a reasonable -although
 debatable - justification for Mr.
Kittrie's behavior and criticism to-
ward the minorities listed in the in-
yestigatory report."
The report went on to call
Belcher's statistics misleading be-
cause several of the minorities were
counted twice. By eliminating the
double-counting, "the number of al-
leged racist attacks drops... to 6 out
of 14," McClanahan explained. "It is
obvious that the charge of racism is
less likely."
Belcher was unavailable for
comment last night.

Issues that concern Richter in-
clude finding more creative ways of
generating revenue, finding more
low-income housing, and increasing
cooperation between the University
and the city.
Richter said the "time is right for
some real inter-cooperation" between
the city and University. One way the
University can be a source for more
money, she said, is if the city estab-
lishes a pro-rated system for city
services.
Such a system would require the
University to pay more for city ser-
vices because it uses them more fre-
quently.
Richter said she believes the city
should also work with the Univer-
sity to find more low-income hous-
ing. She said the city should direct
its energy toward promoting housing
rather than owning it.
corporated into an ordinance which is
now being considered by the city
council.
And while Meade said the ordi-
nance "needs some defining," he
supports the direction the city has
taken in support of comprehensive
recycling.
Meade said his other top priority
is solving the city's budget crisis.
He said he plans to vote for the
Headlee amendment override -
which would raise property taxes -
on Monday's ballot. But he said,
"That is only a temporary solution
and not a full solution," since the
override lasts only for one year.

Conference tonight pushes ethics

BY MICAH SCHMIT
Has the University stopped emphasizing
morals?
This question will be the subject of tonight's
annual Merrill Lecture, to be given by co-speak-
ers LaRue Hosmer and Nicholas Steneck, both
University faculty members.
"We feel that the University, during the
1800s, had a moral attitude; that is, faculty and
students naturally addressed questions of whether
issues were right or wrong," Hosmer explained.

"We've gotten away from that."
Hosmer added that it is time to reestablish this
sense of moral literacy. "We think moral literacy
is just as important as computer literacy," he
said.
After the lecture, members of a panel - in-
cluding University Provost and Vice President for
Academic Affairs Charles Vest, Natural Re-
sources Dean James Crowfoot, and Mutombo
Mpanya of Zaire, Africa, who is associate
professor for the African Research Project at the
Ecumenical Campus Center - will discuss the

lecture.
Hosmer, a Business School corporate profes-
sor, and Steneck, a history professor, are team-
teaching a new course in Ethics and the Profes-
sions. More than 180 students are enrolled in the
course.
Ethics, the professors say, can be a unifying
center for a University as large and diverse as
Michigan.
The public is invited and the lecture, at 8 p.m.
in the Michigan League Hussey Room, is free.


Workers file complai

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - five
workers at the State Employees
Credit Union, claiming the
Teamsters union maybe using their
dues for organized crime activities,
have filed a federal unfair labor
practice complaint.
The employees say they
unwillingly paid dues to Teamsters
Local 580 because the union asked
the credit union in mid-December to
fire them if they failed to.
"We didn't know that this local is
using part of the dues for organized
crime," said Sharon Keinath of
Lansing.
However, "We do not want to be
affiliated with them while they are
affiliated with the International
Teamsters because the International
Teamsters have been linked with
organized crime," said Keinath, one

of the employees who filed the
complaint Monday with the National
Labor Relations Board.
Two weeks ago, a federal judge
approved the settlement of the
government's civil racketeering case
against the national Teamsters
organization, saying it meant the
union has pledged to keep free of
organized crime.
Nellie McKim, Local 580's
executive director, said Keinath's
charges were silly.
"How ludicrous can you get?" she
asked. "I don't know, and would cer-

imt against
tainly vigorously deny that any part
of the money is going to organized
crime."
Dale Brickner, associate director
of Michigan State University's
School of Labor and Industrial Rela-
tions, said he was surprised by the
charge.
"Wow! I've never heard of that
before," he said. "This whole thing
about organized crime is, as far as I
know, legally off the wall."
Keinath said the union hasn't
given enough specifics on how
much of dues go to collective bar-

Teamsters
gaining, administration and
grievance procedures.
She and the others -- Janice
Hunt, Pamela Johnson and Carol
Wilks, all of the Lansing area, and
Debra Goughnour of Grand Rapids
- don't want to pay any dues that
would go to organized crime or po-
litical and ideological activities, she
said.
The U.S. Supreme Court has
ruled that employees who choose not
to join the union but are covered b
an agency shop agreement must still=
pay a fee to cover collective
bargaining and related costs.
