GEO, 'U'
bar gai
with state
mediator
by Stefanie Vines
Daily Faculty Reporter
After two months of unsuccess-
ful negotiation sessions, members
of the Graduate Employees
Organization (GEO) bargaining
team and University bargainers met
yesterday with a state mediator in
Detroit to try and resolve the new
contract.
The University refused to budge
on any significant bargaining issues
as of 11 p.m. last night, said GEO
organizer Ingrid Kock.
However, Kock added that the
University indicated it might make
some movement on the issue of
summer-health benefits for
Teaching Assistants who are re-em-
ployed by the University in the fall,
but she couldn't confirm that possi-
bility.
If GEO and the University can-
not settle the contract, they will
meet again on April 15 with the
state mediator.
If the April 15 meeting fails to
resolve the issues, then GEO and the
University could go into a period of
fact-finding.
According to University bar-
gainer Colleen Dolan-Greene, fact-
finding is a time in which a state-ap-
pointed fact-finder recommends a
position on the contract. The fact-
finder's recommendation would not
be binding, but would influence ne-
gotiations.
The last mediation period be-
tween GEO and the University oc-
curred in 1987, when a contract was
passed after one mediation session.
In 1975, GEO members went on
strike for the entire month of April
until an agreement was finally
reached.
Some of the key issues being ne-
gotiated are:

UNITED NATIONS (AP) -
The Security Council yesterday
adopted a resolution forcing a de-
feated Iraq to its knees and dictating
destruction of its chemical, germ
and nuclear warfare capabilities.
If Iraq accepts the resolution, a
cease-fire in the Persian Gulf War
automatically takes effect.
Iraq's U.N. envoy called the res-
olution "outrageous" and "one-
sided" but did not indicate that his
government would refuse to com-
ply with it. Under pressure,
Baghdad accepted all previous coun-
cil resolutions.
A provisional truce has prevailed
on the battlefield since the ground
war ended in late February.
The resolution, approved 12-1,
would strip Iraq of its biological
and chemical weapons, nuclear-

weapons grade materials and most
ballistic missiles under U.N.
supervision.
Among other provisions, the
measure calls for U.N. peacekeeping
troops to be deployed in the region,
making possible the withdrawal of
the allied troops that defeated Iraq.
Fighting ended Feb. 28 between
Iraqi and allied armies after
Saddam's forces were driven from
Kuwait. But the destruction of
much of the Iraqi ruler's army en-
couraged revolts by Kurds in north-
ern Iraq and Shiites in the south.
France urged the Security
Council to get involved in efforts
to halt the civil war, but President
Bush said yesterday he had no inten-
tion of permitting U.S. forces to get
involved in Iraq's civil strife.

'U' fails
by Tami Pollak
Daily Crime Reporter
While this weekend's Hash Bash
may be the first time many
University students see the newly
deputized University police force in
action, LSA senior Kellie Goodman-
Child is concerned about what it has
- or hasn't - been doing for the
past three months.
Goodman-Child used to work
for the University's Department of
Safety and Security (DPSS). She re-
signed from her clerical position in
the midst of the anti-deputization
protests after allegedly overhearing
a group of DPSS officers discuss
how DPSS should "gas" protesters.
"One of the officers held up the

to repor
poster of a cop holding a gun to a
protester's head. He said, 'That's
me,' pointing to the cop," Goodman-
Child wrote in a letter to the Daily
describing the November incident.
"Two more officers walked in
and began talking about the
protestors. One of them started
talking about how many guns he
could get in 15 minutes and how
they should use them to blow away
the people demonstrating," the let-
ter said.
A few weeks after her letter was
published, Goodman-Child was con-
tacted by University Omsbudsman
Donald Perigo.
"He said the letter upset him and
he would like to talk to me. He
wanted to know if anything was be-

on

student complaint

ing done, and he held that if it
wasn't, he would like to advocate
for that to happen," Goodman-
Child said.
In the first week of January,
Goodman-Child said she was con-
tacted by her former supervisor,
DPSS Sgt. Vein Baisden, who said he
wanted to interview her.
That week, Goodman-Child at-
tended a meeting with Baisden,
Assistant Director of Safety Robert
Pifer, and Perigo.
"They asked me about the inci-
dent and who made the statements
... There was no line up or anything,
but I told them I could identify two
of the officers," Goodman-Child
said. "I was told at the end of the

evening that there was going to be
an investigation conducted. I haven't
been contacted since."
However, while Goodman-Child
has been in the dark for three
months, MSA Student Rights
Commission (SRC) representatives
said they have discussed the issue in
recent meetings with Vice President
for Student Affairs Mary Ann
Swain.
"What the administration con-
tinues to tell us is that there has
been an investigation and the report
is completed," said Jeff Hinte, sec-
ond- year Rackham student and SRC
member.
At their last meeting with Mary
Ann Swain in the middle of
February, Hinte said Swain told

students the report would be forth-
coming within a week. Six weeks
later, no report has been issued.
Mary Ann Swain and Sgt.
Baisden were unavailable for com-
ment last night. Perigo is out of
town until Monday.
However, Hinte said, "I am cer-
tain that in the next week or two we
will hear more on this matter."
Hinte says the SRC is very con-
cerned with the situation because it
is indicative that an "organization
policing themselves invariably will
have a poor policing policy."
Goodman-Child said she would
like to see some disciplinary action
come of an investigation. "I want to
know that I didn't just quit my job
for nothing," she said.


TAs strike; rally,
teach-in planned

County brings new
allegations against
building Chalker

Undergraduates who have dis-
cussion sections today may have ex-
tra time to enjoy the spring air, as
members of the Graduate Em-
ployees Organization (GEO) walk
out of the classroom and into the
picket lines.
More then 300 Teaching
Assistants are expected to strike.
However, many TAs will hold
classes off-campus or will resched-
ule the class later.
In addition to the strike, a teach-
in to inform the public about GEO
and a support rally are planned.
"I really want to encourage peo-
ple to come," said teach-in organizer
Allison Rolls. "It should be fun."
GEO membership passed the
strike resolution last week by a
margin of 3 to 1.
GEO organizer Ingrid Kock said
that since the membership was so
adamantly in favor of the work
stoppage, the steering committee
would not stand in its way.
Rolls, a TA in the Pilot
Program, said the purpose of the
teach-in is to inform the public, es-
pecially undergraduates and other
TAs, about GEO.

"I hope TAs encourage their stu-
dents to come, especially to the fo-
rum on urdergraduate education,"
Rolls said. "It is important for un-
dergraduates and TAs to brainstorm
together."
The teach-in is being held from
11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Michigan
Union ballroom.
The schedule includes:
a forum entitled "Improving
Undergraduate Education; what is
to be done?" from 11 a.m. to noon;
a panel discussion about the
history of GEO as a union and the
bargaining issues and a separate dis-
cussion about improving undergrad-
uate education from noon to 1 p.m.,
and;
a forum on the history of la-
bor unions and another update on
bargaining issues along with a sepa-
rate forum on improving under-
graduate education from 1 p.m. to 2
p.m. and again from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.
The rally is scheduled from 3
p.m. to 4 p.m. in front of the
Fleming Building.
Kock said she was encouraged by
GEO members' support for the
strike.

Just when it seemed the dust had
finally settled around LSA junior
Todd Ochoa's chalking trials and
tribulations, the incident blew up in
his face again.
About two weeks ago, Ochoa
received a letter informing him that
a warrant for malicious destruction
had been re-filed against him by the
County. Today, Ochoa will be
formally arrested and arraigned on
the charges.
The original charges were filed
in November after Ochoa was
arrested for chalking anti-
deputization slogans on University
property.
The case first came to trial
during spring break. However,
before any arguments were heard,
the prosecuting attorney withdrew
the charges, telling the court they
had been filed under inappropriate
statues.
Although Ochoa's lawyer, Eric
Jackson, said he was not sure if the
charges would be re-authorized
following the spring break trial,
Ochoa said he was fairly confident
he had heard the last of the incident.
"When I got this last letter in
the mail, I was sitting down, I was
eating lunch. I saw the envelope and
I said to myself, 'Good - they're
actually telling me they dropped
the charges,"' Ochoa said. "Then I
opened it..."
Ochoa said that although the new

destruction today - one for his
chalking on Haven Hall, which was
the original charge, and a second
charge for chalking on the Dow
Building.
The state statutes Ochoa will be
charged under today are more
specific than those on which has was
brought to trial in February. The
current statute enumerates specific
types of property as, "boundary

SACUA to vote on sexual harassment policy

After months of revisions, a fi-
nal draft of the University policy
on sexual harassment by faculty
and staff will be presented to the

vises against consensual relation-
ships between supervisors and em-
ployees or between faculty or staff
members and students.
