Collective Bargaining for Berkeley Tenants Since 1966 there have been attempts on campus to organize tenants; this year about six hundred mem- bers of the Berkeley Tenants Union have pledged to withhold their rents in an effort to make their power felt by landlords so that their demands can be met. As a guard against evictions resulting from with- holding rents, an alarm system was set up in January so that fellow members can go to the aid of those who may be evicted. The major housing issues in the opinion of the BTU are that 1) landlords were taking advantage of the hous- ing shortage in Berkeley to charge high rents and re- modeling or even replacing old apartments with new luxury units in order to get higher rents instead of meet- ing the need for low-cost housing and 2) not making necessary repairs. As a solution to these problems, the Berkeley Ten- ants Union have drawn up the BTU-Landlord Collec- tive Bargaining Contract and are demanding that they be recognized by landlords as the sole collective bar- agining agent of its tenants in all matters. in a building before making structural or decorative changes to the building and must make any improve- ments if 90% of the tenants approve it without rent increases. Landlords are not swamping to sign such a contract, so the BTU ' s goal is organizing enough tenants to make rent-strikes effective. 25

Student Planned U n-parenthood Cowell Hospital presented a proposal to Planned Parenthood for a birth control center at Cowell, s imilar to those in Oakland and at the Y.W.C.A. If the pro- posal is approved, the Hospital will contract with the Planned Parenthood Association to make space avail- able in the evenings for registered female students. There will be a fee similar to that of the other centers, about ten dollars. Students generally agree that a Planned Parenthood Clinic is needed, where the students can obtain more information. In light of the recent investigations into the uses of the pill, female students would feel more informed if they would be allowed to speak to the doctors, and learn all the pros and cons of this and other contraceptive measures. The center would also keep records on the length of time the patient has used the pill, and keep watch on her to check her health. Some students think that Cowell is not doing enough in the area of birth control. Even what is allowed under State law, is not available at Cowell. However, it is an emergency center, not a general hospital. Some want Cowell to provide contraceptives for males, as well as information on male contraceptives. But, there is a strong minority which is not so en- thusiastic about a birth control center, fearing that the public will be outraged. 26
