Hope Under Siege Terror and Family Support in C.hile. Friday at the Multicultur al Center Approximately -to people attended the forum, which was sponsored by the Canter for Community Counsel ing. Ritterman has studied the effects of torture in countries such as South Afrua. Nuaragua and El Salvador sinc e 1985. She first visited Chile m 1 'IRli as part of ,1 delegation to witness human rights violations Kilierman % book focuses on Daniel Rodriguez, a Chilean poll lien I prisoner and torture victim. Rodriguez survived hts 10*year imprisonment beiaus« of the support of his family. Rit terman said "Daniel * family kept him in such high regard and gave him such respect," Ritterman said "When he was arrested, they stood by him. even though they didn't agree with his politics “ Ritterman said that prisoners who are rejected by their fami lies for their political activity seem less likely to survive. She said torture victims need the support of their families Ritterman also dis< us sod the “culture of fear" < rented by a regime that uses systematic tor lure to control political dissi dents Torture, disappearances and harassment are used to cre ate an atmosphere of insecurity throughout the whole society, she said Eventually, the entire culture is (.hanged because a segment of the population is grows up in this environment and be< oma* unable to recog nize the fear, she said "W’e re very subjtn t to social influences," RfHerman said "Yet wi* often c an t tell what (the social influences) are," Torture victim* require more social focus in their treatment than traditional therapy use*, said Ritterrnan. Victims need to tell people what they suffered, because the society is partly responsible for allowing people to be tortured, she said. Even though prisoners were tortured. Ritterrnan said survivors seemed to have fewer psycho logical problems than political exiles Ritterrnan said those who left the country often had prob lems coping with guilt about abandoning their political work. Money: Salary increases would bankrupt union ■ Continued from Page 1 Staff Union, which represents Rau. if she gets the raise her salary would be 85 perc ent of wheel Ol’KU union representa tives get Ken Pendleton GTFF vice president for University rela tions. said this comparison is unfair because there are no unions in I,aiie Counts that can compare to the limited resource*. of tin* tiTI I whic h represents t. 200 GTF Hob Roberts, who was GTFF president until Or toiler when Alan Moore took over the posi tion. agreed. "The premise* that you am compare Ol’KU to the GTFF is wrong Ih*c a use they serve two different groups of people," he said "Even though the job titles are similar, the jobs In those positions are different.” Moore, (ill F president, said Kiiu's twist* salary tins not gone up. but she has received raises based on seniority, which have boosted tier total salary to $29,532. The C.TFF has offered Ran a 5 percent raise, which would ini ruase her base salary from 527,463 to S2H,H:t7 He also siiid that if graduate teaching fellows accept the proposal Rau helped to negotiate between the CTFK and the University, Kau will get an additional 3 percent pay increase within the next two years. This is due to a c lause m Rail's contract which guarantees her the same per rentage pay increase that grad uate tern King fellows receive Rnu said the GTFF's argu ment that it shouldn't have to pay employees their worth is due to limited funds doesn't make sense hot ause the (.TIT has ... $26,000 from Select Care to manage GTF insurance. "That money is not going to those who make the benefits for CTFs possible." Ran said. Moore ris ently wrote a letter to t;TFs in whir h he explained why the board will not give Rau morn than a 5 percent pay raise "The GTFF Kxecutlve Board cannot agree to the large pay increases that the staff union has proposed when you, our members, have recently received such a small pay im reasc." he said in the letter Rau said d is unfair for him to tom part* her salary to GTFs' tiecause their positions art* tem porary, but tins is her carver In the letter, Moore also said that the federation would be forced to eliminate the organiz er position or increase union dues in order to provide the raise Rau wants Rau disagreed and said the mooes that should go to pin for her raise comes from the S26.000 tfie GTFF has received form Select (am*, not from increasing the union dues for GTFs. "It won't take money from GTF po< kets in the form of due increases." she said. Instead of the 526,000 paying for raises, the federation has created a new organizer posi tion. Williams saiil "It boiled down to what should we pay the new organiz er. and what is left over to pay previously existing employ ees,” Williams said Pendleton said. "It doesn't follow that, because you have the money — it should all go to staff. ” Moore said the federation could give Rnu her desired raise and hire an organizer. However, he added that paying the organizer for enough hours to make the position effective doesn't leave enough money to give Ran the raise she wants. "W*> could do il for a year or two, but after that it would bankrupt the union," he said. The staff union is also proposing the federation con tribute a payment, equal to 6 percent of each staff member's gross salary, to a pension plan for Rau, the organizer and Williams' replacement. Roberts said the GTFF is not opposed to a pension plan, it just can't afford it He said Rau can apply their proposed 5 peri ent raise to either a I wise salary increase or a pension plan but the federa tion can't afford to pay lor both Something’s Brewing In Gateway And Now You Can Take It To Your Halloween party Join us .it Spcncerfe Restaurant & Brew house lor Irrshls crafted ales and an extensive menu with something for everyone.
