Health insurance is the major
issue, according to Hunt. GTT’s
have no health care insurance
and the union is asking the
University to withdraw money
for insurance from their mon
thly wages.
Hunt said he received a letter
from University management
today saying that the University
has been looking into a health
care plan, possibly for next
year Hunt expressed pleasure
over this progress, but said he
had heard of no such plans
previously.
"They never mentioned it to
us until we lit a fire under
them." Hunt said later.
The second issue concerns
job evaluations. Under the pre
sent system, GTFs can be fired
or transferred on the basis of
student evaluations alone. Pro
fessors, on the other hand, are
evaluated in a number of ways
that include student evaluations
and peer evaluations, Hunt
said.

teaching position. Lori
McGilchrist suspects student
evaluations cost her a GTF fob a
year and a half ago when she
gave failing grades to students,
after the department she taught
for "implied that I shouldn't
give anything lower than a 'C'”.
She warned the audience that
negative student evaluations
could bring her fate to any GTF.
The union is asking the
University to use other methods
of job evaluation in addition to
those of students.
Finally, the union is asking
for "an accurate and infor

University officials could not
be reached for comment on the
union demands.
"If you could lose your job
because you didn't do what
you’re expected to do, you'd
like to know what's expected of
you," Hunt said at the rally.
The union has no plans to
strike, but the possibility clearly
exists, and Foster even men
tioned "pre-strike'' tactics.
Foster mentioned one tactic
where GTFs here would send
letters to other universities tell
ing GTFs not to enroll at the
University of Oregon. Hut the
greatest weapon available to the
GTFs is the ability to withhold
grades Foster said.

Nixon administration’s illegal
activities with fellow reporter
Carl Bernstein, Ponder said he
doesn't really doubt the book’s
accuracy.
’’I have to say to myself. ‘Do 1

Bob Woodward?' From what I
know of them both. I’m inclined
towards Bob Woodward,” he
said.
"it's just unfortunate that the
reporting process used by
Woodward is questionable.”
Ponder said. "Public debate
centers not on CIA activities,
but on the techniques Wood
ward used.”
Karick, who teaches a jour

don't know why I shouldn't
