The Michigan Daily - Friday, November 8, 1991 - Page 3 Psychology TA says regent's .comments equal 'harassment' by Joshua Meckler Daily Staff Reporter Psychology TA Pattrice Maurer has filed a grievance with the TA dnion asking Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Arbor) to publicly state teat he was misinformed when he spade statements implying Maurer * gave credit to her students for protesting his house. Baker's comments, made during a University Board of Regents meet- ipg, were published last May in the Ann Arbor News. In another article appearing several days later, Maurer denied Baker's charges and said that baker had misrepresented her O)ehavior. * Early this week, Maurer said, "I never told the class to protest Baker or any other regent or suggested to anyone that they would do better in the class for it." Baker said he would not com- ment on his original statements concerning Maurer and said he was hot aware that a grievance had been filed. "If she's done that, I'm sure in due course I'll hear about it," Baker said. He added, "Maurer freely speaks her opinions, and that's her prerogative." The class Maurer taught last Semester, and which she is teaching now, is a section of Psychology 201 entitled "Project Outreach: Social Change." Maurer said students in her class are required to spend four hours a week working in a social change or- ganization such as the Ozone House, ment and uneasiness she felt while teaching prompted her to file the grievance. As an example of the she received, Maurer cited scrutiny an inci- Baker rassment," Maurer said. Amy Polk, vice president of the Graduate Employees Organization (GEO) and the chair of its grievance committee, said she believes Baker's comments violated the contract be- tween GEO and the University. "He is violating it because he has given Pattrice Maurer undue scrutiny and evaluated her unfairly as a TA because of her political be- liefs and sexual orientation," Polk said. Polk said the grievance does not ask Baker to apologize, but instead asks him to say that he was misin- formed about Maurer's class. "We thought that would be easier on his ego." Polk said she met with three rep- resentatives of the University ad- ministration on Oct. 11 to discuss the grievance. "The mood was not optimistic ... they could not get Deane Baker to do anything he doesn't want to do, and they seemed troubled by this." Dan Gamble, manager of com- pensation and staff relations and one of the University representatives who met with Polk, said the University's response will be re- leased today. He would not com- ment on the outcome of Maurer's grievance. the Ann Arbor Shelter Association, or the Domestic Violence Project. She said students are free to choose any organization they want, as long as their work involves social change. Maurer said Baker may have ini- tially made the comments to try and silence her. Maurer is a vocal critic of Baker. "It's pretty clear what Baker was doing here was using his power as my boss to put pressure on me to shut the fuck up," she said. Maurer did not file the grievance with the TA union until early this fall. She said increased scrutiny of her class by the psychology depart- dent where the psychology depart- ment gave her a list of all the stu- dent organizations on campus, ask- ing her to delineate which groups she would allow students to work in. "It certainly has had an effect on me - a great deal of stress, frustra- tion, having to do things to answer this charge. "I couldn't even begin to count the number of hours to support my own integrity and the right of this course to survive since he has made these charges. "All of this, as far as I and the union are concerned, adds up to ha- Watch out for that oil spill!

NATO invites Warsaw * Democratic presidential candidates to debate at Detroit convention next week by Travis McReynolds Daily Staff Reporter For the first time, all six 'Democratic Party 1992 presidential candidates will be brought together to discuss issues in an open forum. The forum will be held next Tuesday in Detroit and is being sponsored by the AFL-CIO labor union as a part of their national con- vention held every two years.

Pact to joini ROME (AP) - President Bush won assurances yesterday from NATO leaders that they still want America's help in defending Europe. In a landmark summit, NATO agreed to invite old Warsaw Pact adversaries to join them in "a new era of partnership." In a long day of re-evaluation, NATO also adopted a slimmer mil- itary structure in a bow to the end of the Cold War and prepared to call on the Soviets to put their ar- maments under the control of a sin- gle central authority. "We must clasp the outreached hand of the people whose freedom has at last been won by a combina- tion of their courage and our re- solve," said Bush. "We have lost our former ene- mies," NATO Secretary-General Manfred Woerner said in opening the meeting. "We all rejoice in that." But it was Bush's challenge to NATO that dominated the opening sessions of the two-day summit. Meetings Sunday Alpha Phi Omega. Angell Hall Aud B.

"If, my friends, your ultimate aim is to provide independently for your own defense, the time to tell us is today," Bush told the allied leaders. Bush's challenge produced pro- American sentiment as NATO began its largest change since its origins in 1949.
