(seniority system with 7-2 vote
THE BATTALION Page 11
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1, 1977
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Su-
Ipreme Court, on a 7-2 vote, yester-
Iday upheld union seniority systems
leven though they may perpetuate
Irace or sex discrimination forbidden
(by the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Justice Potter Stewart wrote for
Ithe majority that Congress made
clear “a seniority system is not un
lawful because it honors employes’
existing rights, even where the em
ployer has engaged in pre-act dis
criminatory hiring or promotion
practices.”
The intent was not to “destroy or
water down” these rights, he said.
The majority held the seniority

Duplexes, according to the latest
[figures, are becoming more popular
[with Texans.
Research economists Dr. Arthur
[Wright and Tom Coen say the
[number of duplexes built in the
[state has jumped 88 percent be
tween 1975 and 1976. The 2,425
[new units were an increase of 95
[percent over 1974. Wright and
[Goen work for the Texas Real Estate
[Research Center at Texas A&M.
The TRERC researchers point
[out in a new publication, “Consid-
[erations in Duplex Investment,”
[that 11 of the state’s 25 metropolitan
[areas had an increase in duplex con-
[struction of 50 percent or more be
tween 1975 and 1976.
A number of conditions contrib-
[uted to this increased interest in
[duplex housing, they say. The lower
[cost of duplex construction makes it
fordable for many young couples.
renting half the duplex, they can
[reduce their shelter cost, and enjoy
nany of the benefits of home own
ership.
The parent with a child in college
or recently married can minimize
the housing cost of a son or daughter
for a few years.
“Duplexes offer a far less crowded
lifestyle than apartment com
plexes,” Wright and Goen said. “In
creased privacy and freedom add
greatly to the attraction of a duplex
home. It is frequently considered
the next best thing to a single-family
home.”
Real estate investors see duplex
homes an investment vehicle and tax
shelter. Tax advantages and financial
conditions encourage a great deal of
construction which would not be
financially feasible.
Wright and Goen said that the
handyman investor can further
enhance returns by managing and
maintaining such a property in his
spare time.
However, many people are buy
ing or building duplexes today
without knowing what their real
goals for the duplex are, how well
the duplex will satisfy their needs,
normal operating costs and reve
nues to expect or how to analyze the
duplex’s financial capabilities goals.

union and T. I.M.E.-D.C. discour
ages all transfers regardless of race.
The opinion said employes who
can prove themselves victims of
post-act discrimination in hiring are
eligible for seniority retroactive to
the time of the refusal. They need
not actually have applied if they can
show they should have been treated
as applicants.
In another major labor ruling, the
court held 8 to 0 in an Ohio case that
neither federal law nor the Con
stitution prevents a state from deny
ing jobless compensation to a
worker laid off because of a strike
elsewhere.
The justices also struck down 5 to
4 an East Cleveland, Ohio, zoning
ordinance restricting the number of
relatives and grandchildren who can
live in a single-family home.
The law was challenged as being a
device to keep large black families
out of certain residential areas.
The court also accepted for argu
ment next term a Georgia case deal
ing with the rights of juveniles
whose parents want to commit them
to a mental institution.
In an expected action, the court
refused to stay the jail sentences of
