"It raises questions of what tenure means.... If the (University) changed it's policy, (it) would be- come less attractive to faculty as well as students." The 1991 state legislation was implemented to counteract a provi- sion of the federal Age Discrimination Act. The federal Age Discrimination Act protects against the forced re- tirement of all professionals at any age. However, a provision excludes police officers, firefighters, and tenured professors from protection under the law. SNOW Continued from page 1 lower half of the state yesterday, the National Weather Service issued a snow and blowing snow advisory. The blizzard also caused local po- lice to issue a Travelers' Advisory. Sgt. Pam Wyess of the Ann Arbor Police Department said that while more accidents occurred yes- terday than on an average day, the numbers were not "outrageous." The University Department of Public Safety did not receive any unusual reports yesterday. Wyess attributed the relatively small number of problems to careful motorists. - The Associated Press contributed to this report. LGMPO Continued from page 1 tion used the word mutliculturalism. "It is a very powerful, positive word which can build bridges. But it has come to mean io more than diver- sity has." Edwards submitted her resigna- tion to Maureen IIartlord, vice president for Student Affairs, eLfec- tive Jan. 31. At this time, she will return to her private counseling practice and hopes to be a part of the process to find her replacement. "To me, it would be essential to find someone who is a strong ac- tivist and wouldn't be co-opted by the system," Edwards said. Edwards, along with Toy, cited differences with the administration in recent years for the problems lMPO is experiencing. "We really had to cut back on our programs - such as the welcome back reception and the celebration around National Coming Out Day - because there was no funding," Toy said. In her letter of resignation, Ed wards described I.GM PU's diffi- culties due to a budget cut of 2.75 percent and the hiring freeze on two half-time positions and work study students. She also expressed her concern over rumors saying either she or Toy could be fired at any time. "It takes a lot of energy to pro- grun and I wasn't going to spin my wheels planning events if we weren't going to be here," she said. "We have tried to piece things together." Moreover, Edwards was not happy with the recent changes made to LGMPO . Along with the fight to have its name placed on the wall outside the office, I(GMPO was re- cently notified it would not he doing counseling or therapy - its duties would be assigned to ('ounselilu, Services. Edwards said she believes the new philosophy in the current ad- ministration is that any clinician can work with any student, a viewpoint. she does not agree with. "My clients' reaction was anger and anxiety," Edwards said. "II am the only counselor here for lesbian women. "People within their own cu1- tures, races, and ethnicities often do better with people in their own group," said Edwards, who has a masters in psychology from the Center for IIumanistic Studies and is a limited license psychologist in the state of Michigan. Prgnmaically, the best thing Counseling Services are goinT to be able to do is crisis intervention and references," Edwards said. "When' You are dealing with sexual orienta- tion, it takes more than one to two, sessimis " .Toy agreed with Edwvards, hut saud he felt the shake-up in Student Affairs during the past year was 1(f be expected. "When a ma jor administrator leaves, things are likely to tall into limbo until the new administration Zgets itself into place and implements* its own programs," Toy said. Carter said changes will not take place until the next school year at the earliest. "We have not fixed our- selves into anything," he said. .11 Golden Computer Service MOUEPERSONAL COMPUTER, fOUE&PRPHRLRPI UPGRADES CARRY IN !

With tears in her eyes, Edwards said she would remain in Ann Arbor after her departure and work in her private counseling practice. "I love working with the lesbian and gay male community - a A I'll continue to do that. It just wo ' he here," she said. LGMPO Co-coordinator Jim Toy said he was not surprised by Edward's decision to leave. "It amazed me, in fact, that given the pressure she was feeling she was able to endure," he said. "I hope she takes care of herself and things will go well for her. I think she's aware of the drawbacks at working at a complex organization like this one is - the tradeoffs of all that." Jason Hackner, a junior in the School of Music, added that, while people do not always agree with the decisions Edwards has made, he re- spects her as an outstanding role model who has not wavered in the face of adversity. "I'm very sorry to see her go be- cause I do think she and Jim (Toy) have always done what they thought YEAR Continued from page 1 "But there were erosions in the whole issue of reproductive rights, setbacks for women as lesbians in Colorado, and the disenfranchised are still disenfranchised." Rivers agreed. She said she be- lieves the progress women believed they were making in 1992 is illusory. "When push came to shove, wom- en's rights and opportunities were threatened (even if) it should be in the interests of both genders to hold and protect these issues," she said. Rivers stressed the necessity of paying attention to issues important to women. "In the 1992 election, women were the right people to do it," she said. "Child care, parental leave - working mothers have known about their importance for years." Many women also expressed hope that President-elect Bill Clinton and his administration will play a positive rolein supporting women's issues. Edwards HEATHER LOWMAN/Daity Edwards summed up the reaction she expects from the University. "Probably the lesbian and gay community will be very distressed. I can imagine there will be a few peo- ple who won't be sorry," she said. "If I can't walk the walk ... I can't do it anymore." was right," he said. "They have very strong convictions." RC junior Brian Spolarich said he" respects Edward's decision, but said he fears her timing will hurt LGMPO. Proper Attire For The Well-Dresed Sofwae Gauate.

"It is important to have a leader in office truly committed to those objectives," Brater said. "It is also a big difference for women to have a pro-choice president." Supporting Clinton, Residential College sophomore Sukie Collins said President George Bush "kept saying he would do things to help women. Clinton has actual legislation." Brater said she thinks having more women in powerful elected offices will play an essential part in breaking barriers found in the workplace. "There is a constant need to cre- ate equality. Women must be given equal pay and equal respect. But this is not something that changes overnight," Brater said. "It is a long, term process to institutionalize changes."
