12 Friday, September 4, 1987 / University Daily Kansan Nation/World Critique on Bork released Senate Judiciary Committee attacks nominee's ideology The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee released an analysis yesterday that attacked virtually every aspect of Robert H. Bork's record, and contended the U.S. Supreme Court has imposed a judicial restraint" portraits in a recent White House report. The study released by Chairman Joseph R. Biden Jr., D-Dell, said Bork engaged in "judicial activism" when it suited him. The report also attacked his positions on subjects including civil rights, privacy, antitrust, censorship, free speech, religion in the schools and the Supreme Court decision permitting abortion. The report was written by two committee consultants, a Washington attorney and a Duke University law professor and reviewed by four prominent lawyers. Biden did not comment on the report, but he has become an outspoken opponent of Bork. He will conduct confirmation hearings beginning Sept. 15. The new research was billed as a response to a July report from the White House report that said in areas such as the First Amendment, privacy and civil rights, "Judge Bork has demonstrated an open mind as his views have evolved and matured over the years, sometimes changing significantly over time as new evidence has been presented to him." The analysis accused the White House report of inaccurately trying to link Bork's brand of conservatism with that of the justice he would replace on the court, nowretired Lewis F. Powell, Jr. Powell often had the deciding vote in Supreme Court decisions. The new study said this was a "transparent effort" to make the two men appear as ideological outsiders, which depiction has no basis in fact." In accusing Bork of "judicial activism," a term usually reserved for liberal judges, the study quoted comments of judges on the ideologically split U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington where Bork has served as judge since 1982. Some of the judges said in one written opinion that Bork was attempting to "wipe away selected Supreme Court decisions in the name of judicial restraint" and was conducting "a general spring cleaning of constitutional law." In another instance, five members of the court described Bork's criteria for reviews by the full appellate court as "self-serving and result-oriented" and as doing "substantial violence to the collegiality that is indispensable to judicial decision-making." The report said there were "clear examples of Judge Bork's advocacy and implementation of conservative activism, which demonstrate that he is not the apostle of judicial restraint and moderation described in the White House position paper." The analysis also *Said Bork rejected the right of citizens to be free from government interference in their private lives.* ■ Accused the nominee of attacking virtually all of the nation's basic antitrust laws. - Contended that Bork favored a narrowing of many First Amendment protections, prior restraints on the press, limitations on release of information under the Freedom of Information Act, protection of only political speech and not artistic expression and reintroduction of some religion into public schools. ■ Said Bork opposed "virtually every major civil rights advance on which he has taken a position." including laws on public accommodations, open housing, restrictive covenants, literacy tests, poll taxes and affirmative action. Study finds wage gap still high The Associated Press WASHINGTON - The big gap between the earnings of women and men can largely be blamed on clustering of females in certain occupations and on their lack of work experience, a Census Bureau study said yesterday. Overall, it said, women continue to earn only 70 cents for every dollar taken home by a man. While the disparity remains great, it represents progress from the 62 cents on the dollar women were earning in 1979, said Gordon W. Green Jr., of the Census Bureau's socioeconomic statistics division. In addition to job-clustering and less experience, other factors setting women workers apart from men include time taken off from work and differences in their fields of study in college. he said. "There is an important message here for the woman who is career-minded and wants to get ahead at work." Green said in an interview. It tells them that if they go to college, they should study fields men have traditionally studied — such as law, engineering, science and mathematics — and if they do not choose college, to try and develop technical training or enter the skilled trades, he said. And, Green said, if family duties call them away from work, women should try to limit those interruptions so they will not let their skills become obsolete or lose seniority. Nearly half of employed women — 47 percent have been off work for at least six months sometime in their work lives, compared with only 13 percent of men, the study found. Those work absences affect future wages, the report said. eanny outes were the most con- mon reason for women to interrupt work, while inability to find a job was the maior reason for men. The study, based on earnings in 1984, found that among full-time workers, average hourly pay was $10.82 for men and $7.52 for women, a disparity of 70 cents on every dollar. Average hourly pay in 1984 was interrupted for six months or more, average hourly pay for both sexes was sharply less. Agencies predict Ethiopian crisis The Associated Press "What we are facing is a resurgence of a very severe situation," said Charles La Muniere, director of emergency operations in Africa for the United Nations in New York. "We have to begin to fill the WASHINGTON — Relief agencies are gearing up to ship emergency food supplies to Ethiopia, where officials said yesterday they fear a summer drought could create a famine similar to the one in which nearly one million people died during 1984-1985. pipeline now." Officials knew that a drought in June and July coupled with locust infestations probably would cause problems. The concern has turned to alarm in recent weeks after a U.S. Agency for International Development team conducted a massive crop losses in some areas. "If the worst scenario came to be, we could experience crop losses as much as in 1984." La Muniere said. The goal of the United Nations, he said, is to help the Ethiopian government ensure that people will not be forced to relocate into food camps similar to the ones that attracted worldwide attention three years ago. A NID official, speaking on condition that he not be identified, predicted the impending famine would be smaller but just as serious. Roughly 7.5 million Ethiopians, nearly one-fourth the population, were at risk of starvation in the 1984-1985 famine, he said. The death toll from that event could be as high as a million, he said. $9.95 (Higher weekday) Videoexpress 1447 W. 23rd Open 9 a.m.-10 p.m. Daily SAVE BIG ON HEWLETT-PACKARD CALCULATORS - Advanced statistics * Unit conversion * 250 programmable * functions and * functions * 60 direct keyboard * controls * Separate alpha and numeric keyboards * Interactive printer * interface printer * Pading 'callermark' * battery power ('3 N') * Mfg.
