Thirty percent of OSU's facully women are employed on a_ part-time basis, the investigating team said, while only nine percent of the faculty men are part-time OSU has “not actively recruited minorities and females to fill administrative positions.” OSU has 30 days, as of Tuesday, to make a written commitinent to correct job discrimination practices regarding women and minorities, the HEW team said. This is part of a long-term request by HEW for OSU to prepare a report showing the progress of each academic department in improving the hiring practices This report is due in nine months, the team said If OSU fails to comply adequately with HEW requests, tt stands to lose cligibility for some $15 million yearly in federal money from grants and contracts with various agencies of the government OSU President Robert MacVicar said Tuesday that he is aware that OSU has not been doing all it could to eliminate job discrimination against women and minorities, according to a ‘*Register-Guard” report MacVicar said he welcomed the “stimulus for improvement provided by the HEW investigation.” Raleigt K !

As for her discourse on family life and being a parent. | totally disagree 1 look upon the rearing of any children | may rather responsibility, to be shared equally with my marriage partner. | could never compare the care of a child, no matter how disgusting the chores may be, with that of washing dishes garbage. My children will mean a lot more to me than that She also classifies women into two groups whores and mothers. My question is “Which you?” If you are not married, you have deepest sympathies for being either. If you ate marricd, ny sympathies are extended to your children In reply to James as un awesome or taking out the Larry Dowdy Qualifies stand EDITOR'S NOTE: This letter is written in response to @ letter by K. L. Keirnen which appesed in the January 18 edition of Fountsinheed To Fountainhead 1 am writing this letter in reply to your's which appeared in the Jan. 18 issue of Fountainhead. In that letter, you condemned the Dec. 16 issue's editorial as being written by a writer who not only allows “bigotry to pass for tact” but who also has a hatred for the Catholic Church Since | am the writer of that editorial, | feel that it is my moral obligation to defend my self I dislike using Fountainhead as a platform to voice personal quarrels, but | also dislike being implied to as a bigot In your letter, you claim that “Anyone who knows and understands the structure of the Catholic Church even superficially realizes that the subject church does NOT buy its American priests a new car each year.” You also state that | had not done enough homework on the subject. | )ve spent much time doing my homework on the church - 20 years worth. You sec. Mr. Kiernan, | am a bom and raised Catholic with 12 years of a formal Catholic education. | feel that | am more than qualified on commenting on a subject that has been a major molding force in my life. Though | may not be an expert on Catholicism, | am certain that 1 know more about the subject than a Protestant with a Southern Baptist background Reaching into your vast knowledge and experience on the Church, you state the Church can not afford to buy each of its American priests a new car each year. In defense of your statement, you cite an example of a priest friend who was unable to take a trip to North Carolina from D.C. because he deemed his car was not able to make the trip. You also claim that the Catholic Church is the largest private charity organization on both the national and international scenes. I hate to dispute such a knowledgable expe s yourself, but in the parish I was brought up in the priests did get a new car every year. The pastor even used this new car to drive himself to the racetrack and make a few bets on the horses. What he did with his winnings | don’t know. | do know that he didn’t share them with his parishioners. This produce even be Sasa parish which is in New York is not at all unique. Almost every parish in the city is able to buy its priests a car every year They also practice some policies which are not very Christian in character. Policies such as charging each churchgoer §.25 for occuping a seut in church, threatening to expell a parent's child school if that parent does not contribute regularly at the weekly offerings or charging a flat fee of $75 as the priests’ “gift” when he performs a wedding {f what you say about your priest friend is true then I retract my statement. The Catholic Church does not buy cach of its American Priests a new car every year; it buys almost from every one of its American priests a new car every year. There are a few priests in this country who still remember the teachings of Christ and pick the poor parishes to serve in, but these priests are a rare breed. | admire your friend for understanding the real meaning of the clerical collar If the Catholic Church is the largest private charity organization on both the national and international scenes, then why are there people starving Just 20 miles from the Vatican? Why are there so many starving people in the world? With all the money and assets the Church commands, they should be able to do much more in the line of charity than they are now You are absolutely right when you claim that affluence is not a problem to the Church Affluence is never a problem. When youre poor then you have problems. The Pope will never have to worry about being thrown into the poor house My hatred for the Catholic Church 1S rampant. | hate to sce such a beautiful doctrine as that of Jesus Christ be destroyed by some materialistic men who hide behind the cross of Christ. He was crucified almost 2,000 years ago, but his philosophy is being crucified today by those who are supposed to enrich it Frank Tursi Assistant News Editor Still waiting To Fountainhead Sometime in November | asked Tommy Clay if he could do something to keep the art rooms open longer than the normal 10 p.m. closing time, He and Jim Hicks began to work on the seemingly simple task On Monday, December 6, | called Tommy on WECU’s “Open Mike” tosee if any progress had been made. He said that he had reccived a letter trom Dean Gray which, more or less, gave the “go-ahead”, On Tuesday I started a petition so those people who use the rooms at night could let Dean Gray know how many would benefit from the extra time Signs for signatures were located in the rooms (on third floor Rawl) and on two bulletin boards until Friday afternoon. On December 10, I went to Dean Gray to present him with the 132 signatures so | could get a definite “yes” or “no”. I was told by Dean Gray, “It’s already taken care of. Don't worry about it. " So, I didn’t. Until the night before the holidays. As usual, everybody was forced out at 10 p.m After vacation was over, I decided to give it a week. No results Merely by chance I saw Dr. Jenkins at the (post office on January 8. I asked him what | could do to get something going. First he Suggested I talk to the provost. A little late in the conversation he said he would try to talk with Dr. Williams and Dean Gray and see if he could do something. Phan this one. i On January 10 I went to talk with Dr Williams. His assistant, Mr. Faser, talked with me and we both leamed something. Mr. Faser learned the reason why the extra time was needed. (It seems that Dean Gray had asked Dr Williams for permission but didn't bother to explain why!) I learned that after permission by the provost was given the problem would have to be taken to Mr. Moore who is in charge of the security of the buildings Mr. Faser said he would look into the matter for me and give me more information on Thursday, January 13. On Thursday | returned to his office for the news Dean Gray was given the provost ’s permission to ask Mr. Moore's permission on the day I first talked to Mr. Faser. It was then out the office of the provost for good. Shortly after my mecting there, | spoke with Dean Gray to see if he had made any progress He said he was waiting “for that sécurity guy” to call back, but that “you” can't push these things--“you" just have to wait for the right time. “Don't worry about it.” I think I've heard that last line sometime before, but it’s been so long I can't remember exactly when Why can’t things be done around here? What's the matter? Aren‘t students the main concern at this place? I suppose “the ECU way” will always remain the determining factor--“the administra here to beat the student, not help him.” Of course, | won't worry about it! Still waiting. John Palmer Letter timely To Fountainhead I'm writing this letter from the ninth floor of Tyler as | try to warm myself by the heat of two lamps and a hot plate. Despite the fact that the outside temperature is 17 degrees, Tyler Hall has no heat Though the elevators have been repaired and we've acquired a suitable intercom system, the heaters here have a bizarre tendency to give out when they're most needed.
