Tuesday

Representatives of Agency Ree
ds Control Inc. and the AFL-CIO
ill meet in Bryan next Tuesday as a
reliminary to having ARC em-
loyees vote on the issue of
nionization. A hearing is scheduled
10a.m. on Feb. 27 in the county
unmissioners courtroom of the
razos County Court House in
ryan.
“The reason for the hearing is to
cide who is eligible to vote,” said
ck Langford, a Houston represen-
tive for the Office and Professional
mployees International Union,
IFL-CIO.
Langford will represent the union
the hearing. Officers of the Na-
inal Labor Relation Board from its
gional office in Houston will
onitor the proceedings.
The NLRB has many rules gov-
ning which employees are allowed
vote, Langford said. Generally,
mfidential employees such as
pervisors, certain managerial
pes, professional engineers and
urds are excluded. At ARC, em-
byees such as keypunch operators,
miputor operators, data control-
s, tape librarians and some secre-
ries will be eligible, Langford
ledicted.
The next steps in the process fol-
wing the hearing are handled by
e NLRB.
! If there are any disagreements, „
f regional officers will decide who
I eligible to vote. Once they de-
de, they will issue a decision and
hedule an election,” Langford
ad. However, it may take several
eeks for the board to announce an
ection date, he added.
The election is the final step in
ie process. “If a majority of people
ate for the union, then the corn-
toy has to accept the union. That’s
federal law,” Langford said.
The hearing is the latest action by
e union which came to Bryan-
e Station in October, 1978 to
r ganize the ARC employees. ARC
as about 150 keypunch operators
"d 100 other employees.
Some employees have complaints
Sout ARC’s incentive wage system,
ader that system, they are rated
lr effieciency each month and the
'dug they receive determines their
e k month’s salary.
Those employees complain that
ds causes their pay to go up and
0v to. They say they would prefer
to have set wages.
Some of ARC’s employees have

“radical group that’s off to change
the chauvinism at A&M.”
We want to change women’s
ideas about themselves,” she said.
Women overlook the way
they re treated. It upsets the typical
conservative Aggie’s ego to see an
aggressive, assertive woman.
They won’t give us a chance to
break away from stereotyped roles,”
Garrett said.
The WSA doesn’t want to see
Aggie traditions disappear, but it
does support the right of women to
run for yell leader just as it supports
the right of men to run.
“So many people have the wrong
conception of liberation. They think
it’s going to put them on the front
line in combat and they’ll have to
give up marriage,” Garrett said.
Garrett said she doesn’t think
there are a lot of women who want
to give up families just to have
careers.
“Men have never had to distin
guish between families and work,”
she said. “Women compromise.”
The WSA has set up a list of six
goals to help women in their educa
tions and careers. They are:
—To educate women on available
opportunities;
—To show women how to deal
successfully with problems they
may encounter;
—To foster mutual support and
awareness among women;
—To provide role models that to
day’s student can pattern herself af
ter;
—To inform women on campus of
the activities and courses that are of
particular importance to them, and
—To promote discussion on cur
rent issues concerning women.
Ai?M prof
charged
in theft
Battalion Staff Report
A Texas A&M University staff
member and parttime lecturer was
itrrested Tuesday and is now free on
bond.
Roger Daniel, 24, a producer for
KAMU-TV who also is a parttime
lecturer in the Department of
Communications, was arrested
Tuesday morning on a charge ol
burglary of a vehicle. He later
posted bond of $2,500, which was
set by Justice of the Peace Carolyn
Hensarling.
Burglary of a vehicle is a third de
gree felony and carries a penalty of
2-10 years and up to a $5,000 fine.
Last week the Brazos County
Grand Jury indicted Daniel, ol
Cross Street in College Station, for
' the burglary.
Lester S. Wood, 4011 Woody
Lane in Bryan, reported the theft on
Jan. 12, the day after it happened.
University Police said. He told
police the burglary of a gym bag and
its contents from his car occurred in
a University parking lot behind the
Data Processing Center. Wood is a
senior systems analyst for the Office
of Planning and Institutional
Analysis on campus.
Police said the bag and its con
tents, valued at $84.89, were re
turned to Wood on Jan. 12.
Texas A&M policy states that
conviction of a crime is grounds for
dismissal. Daniel’s superiors said
Tuesday they will consider what to
do after the case is decided. For
now he will continue to teach a tele
vision production course and work
at KAMU. , ^ .
No date has been set foi Daniel to
enter his plea.
'Now you know
United Press International
Every year on George Washing
ton’s birthday, his farewell address
is read in Congress, but Washington
neveF actually delivered the speech
himself.
Garrett said, “I feel A&M’s
academic standards are too high to
be just looking for a husband.”
A woman without a degree gets
no respect and generally gets
pushed around by everyone, she
said.
“Liberation is equality of men and
women, socially,” Garrett said.
The WSA is an Memorial Student
Center committee and is planning a
social gathering in March.
Garrett is trying to organize a
seminar about women in the mar
ketplace and to plan a trip to Hous
ton to a women’s sponsored art fair.
Dues for the WSA are $8 a year or
$5 a semester.
"We want to show women can do
more than have hake sales,” Garrett
said.
