20, but Wade said "nobody believes now
that we'll get anything."
She said workers would rather
negotiate on their own because union
officials have intimated "the
ballgame's over, we can't get anything
for you."
Wade admits that she is unfamiliar
with the decertification process, but
vows to learn. "I would quit rather than
stand here and let them help them-
selves to my paycheck," she said.
WADE SAID she believes the real
reason for the raise in dues was to en-
sure a pay boost for union officials even
if contract negotiations fail to win in-
creases. "They know we weren't going

to get any money, so they got their
wage increase," Wade said.
Wade said that after the meeting on
dues she went to union officials and
asked to seea copy of the union bylaws,
but the request was refused.
"They can take my money, but I'm
supposted to keep my mouth shut," she
said.

If AFSCME succeeds in its effort to
unionize the University's clerical
workers after May's-disputed election,
contract negotiations for the service
and maintenance workers would be
conducted independently from the
clerical workers union.

federal student aid last year and about
half goes to male students, according to
Grotrian.
Under the high court's ruling, the law
will be enforced until the case is ap-
pealed by the justice department which
isn't expected before October, said
Brad Marmon, a spokesman for the
justice department in Washington.
University President Harold Shapiro
would not comment on the Supreme
Court Ruling, although he criticized the
law two weeks ago, following the Min-
nesota judge's decision. Shapiro said
then that the financial aid office should
not have to be burdened with policing
federal draft laws.
THE LAW, dubbed the Solomon
Amendment after its author Rep.
Gerald Solomon (R-N.Y.), has been
through a series of confusing changes
since it was signed by President
Reagan last September.
When Minnesota Federal Judge
Donald Alsop put a temporary hold on
the law' last March, for example, it
wasn't clear whether the ruling affec-
ted students nationwide or just those in
Minnesota.
But in Alsop's final decision, June 16,
he stated that students nationwide did
not have to comply with the law. Six
days later, Supreme Court Justice
Harry Blackmun put a temporary
hold on Alsop's ruling which was
followed by the permanent order, June
27.
CURRENTLY, the Selective Service
reports that 96 percent of draft-age men
have registered leaving 106,000 who
have not compiled with the law.
Solomon and justice department of-
ficials hailed the order saying that
students receiving federal aid should
comply with federal laws.
"It is a major victory for the nearly
10 million people who have lived up to
their obligation of registration," said

John Kostas, a spokesman from
Solomon's office.
"Financial aid is a privelege and
students shouldn't expect taxpayer aid
without complying with Selective Ser-
vice laws," Kostas said.
THE DEPARTMENT of Education
recently sent letters to universities
notifying them that the law is going into
effect and that students will have until

aid, said the Supreme Court made a
"terrible, terrible decision."
"The government is more equipped
(legally) to play the game than we
are," said Gail Suchman, attorney for
MPIRG. "It will be an uphill battle."
The government "played it smart,"
Suchman said, pleading that enforcing
the law was a matter of "national
security."
Suchman said it isn't certain if there
is any way to overturn the high court's
ruling.
