The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court, is “intrinsically related” to the existing case, Penk vs. the Oregon State Board of Higher Education, said Dian na Kale, case manager with Faculty Women for Equity. The Penk lawsuit alleges that Oregon’s eight public colleges and universities have discriminated against women faculty members. In August, U.S. District Judge Helen Frye excluded “non-teaching” a women with faculty rank from the 2,200 Jacuity women in the $33 million case. The new case covers the ex cluded women, who include librarians, research assistants, research associates, extension agents, counselors, emergency part-time faculty, and ad ministrators below the rank of dean, Kale said. “We hope to move to con solidate this trial back with the Penk case,” she said. “It’s also important in terms of negotiating a settlement that we be able to negotiate for the en tire group, rather than just a portion.” The lead plaintiff in the new case is Betty Wallace, an exten sion agent at Oregon State University. Testimony in the Penk lawsuit continues before Frye. On Tues day, attorneys for the state were cross-examining witnesses, Kale said. Rutherford, Kerans debate BEND (AP) — The two can didates for Oregon state treasurer criticized each others’ legislative records, economic forecasts and plans for Oregon’s future in their latest debate. House Speaker Grattan Kerans, D-Eugene, told the au dience of about 50 on Monday that the state is ready for a change. He proposed a coalition that “seeks to draw together all those in the business and in dustrial world, in the profes sions. in academics and in local government.” Kerans saia inai as treasurer, he would reorganize the local government investment pool, the fund in which local agen cies deposit their funds. Incumbent Republican Bill Rutherford said that upon being appointed to the office last spr ing, he set economic growth as his first goal. He also said he has worked to invest public employee retire ment system funds wisely; to improve the state’s bond rate; to improve communication bet ween his office and Oregonians; and to improve the operations and investments of the common school fund administered by the State Land Board. Rutherford said one of his jobs is to convince investors that Oregon bonds ‘‘are indeed a good investment.’* “I grew up on Main Street (in McMinnville) and I’ve ex perienced Wall Street, and I believe I can bring the two together for the benefit of Oregon,” he said. Both men opposed passage of Ballot Measure 2, the 1.5 per cent property tax limitation. No benefit cuts, Reagan asserts WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi dent Reagan, responding to a challenge by Walter Mondale, ruled out on Tuesday any cuts or changes in Social Security benefits for current recipients or future retirees. In an abrupt policy shift pro mpted by Mondale’s suggestion at a Cincinnati campaign stop that Reagan might revamp the Social Security system, White House spokesman Larry Speakes said the president had authorized him to announce that he ‘‘will never stand for reduction' in Social Security benefits for anybody.” Wednesday, October 10, 1984 SENIORS!
