THE BATTALION Page 3 WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1977 V$ Job seniority safe )n childbirth leave no; United Press International WASHINGTON — The Supreme wrt ruled Tuesday that employers not take away women’s job niority while they are absent for ildbirth, but that denial of sick iy during that period is not neces- ily illegal. The opinion by Justice William ihnquist came in a case filed by jra Satty against the Nashvill enn.) Gas Co., which placed her maternity leave in 1972 without dtpay. When she returned she was at the ittom of the seniority list. Another case involving the jehmond, Calif., school district returned to the Ninth U.S. Cir- it Court of Appeals for further oceedings. Under Nashville Gas policy, an nployee with a different type of in-occupational sickness or injury juld have been allowed leave with iy and would have retained job- dding seniority, which affects an nployee’s entire future. Rehnquist said the situation is dif- rent from the 1976 General Elec- iccase, where the court held that iegnancy may be excluded from a ivate employer’s disability insur- ice program. The opinion Tuesday said there as no showing in that case that GE forded men more benefits than omen. "Here, by comparison,” Reh- juist said, the company “has not erely refused to extend to women benefit that men cannot and do not tceive but has imposed on women isubstantial burden that men need it suffer.” Rehnquist said the 1964 Civil ights Act, .which forbids job dis- imination on the basis of sex, does )t “permit an employer to burden male employees in such a way as (deprive them of employment op- irtunities because of their differ- it role. ” But he said businesses may find it ecessary to adopt sick leave olicies applying to all employees in particular group, including denial pregnancy leave, and this does )t violate the law even though omen employees may suffer from As for sick leave pay, Rehnquist id the general situation cannot be stinguished from that in the GE se. But he noted Satty’s contention (at even in the GE case, the court eld that distinctions involving regnancy cannot be mere pretexts esigned to produce an invidious iscrimination against members of ae sex or the other. Rehnquist said the trial court Campus Yule ervice slated or Thursday Texas A&M University’s Student community Christmas service is [lanned for Thursday at the Uni ver ity Center Fountain.

The court was unanimous on the seniority issue. On sick pay, Justices Lewis Powell, William Brennan and Thurgodd Marshall said Satty should be given a chance to show that the combined policy yielded less net compensation for female employees, as a class, than for males. Speeding car kills one, injures twelve United Press International NEW YORK — One pedes trian was killed and a dozen others were injured by a speed ing car driven down a sidewalk in Times Square Monday night, police reported. The driver, 19- year-old Harvey Collins of Man hattan, stole the car from a hon eymooning Vermont couple. Witnesses said the auto reached speeds of 60 miles per hour as it meandered down West 42nd Street from Eighth to Seventh Avenues, along the south sidewalk — past a row of X-rated movie theaters and mas sage parlors — striking unsus pecting pedestrians in its path. Police arrested Collins as he tried to escape from a vengeful crowd of 100 persons who gathered around the car once it came to rest against a fire hy drant. Officials said he would be charged with grand larceny and vehicular homicide. The dead man was identified as R.A. Whitmore, 70. Six men and six women were injured. Among the injured taken to St. Clare’s Hospital were four teen age girls from Lodi, N.J., who had come into Manhattan to see the Rockefeller Center Christ mas tree lighting. Police identified the Vermont couple as 26-year-old Jerry Jen kins and his bride of about 12 hours, Marlene, 21, of Bur lington. The couple had come to Man hattan after their wedding at 8 a.m. in Vermont, and Jenkins left his wife in the car while he went to see if they could get a room for the night at the New York Sheraton Hotel. Collins walked up to the car, a 1970 green-blue Buick, drew a gun, and told the woman to get out, police said. She did as she was told, and Collins drove off, authorities said. The car jumped the sidewalk at 42nd Street near Eighth Av enue, and began hitting pedes- trains, police said. St. Clare’s Hospital said seven persons were taken there while Roosevelt Hospital had three victims and Bellevue Hospital two others. Whitmore’s body was taken to Bellevue. One pedestrian in the busy street, Stephen Brown of Brook lyn said, “This guy takes off up the street. He goes up on the sidewalk doing 60, maybe 70 miles an hour. He hit people at one end and when he gets near Seventh Avenue, he hit a lady who flew up in the air and he hit her again when she came down. ” Sandor Maraczi, who was working at a newsstand at the corner of 42nd and Seventh said, “I heard screaming and I heard the car hit the hydrant. If it hadn’t hit the hydrant it would have run right into our news stand.” fiOOPl lattali® - ^ atch<3 Station. hon tongi eJS Jamie A Ail" W Alice wHt ... R" 1 ’'™ Kii" 1 - . . . Glenn* .
