Selection for an participation in University employment is without regard to race, age, sex, color, religion, political affiliation, national origin or ancestry. The phrase "an equal opportunity employer" will continue to be used as a reflection of this practice. The use of minority news media will also continue to be used as part of our advertising practice.

The Russians complained that their language did not even contain a word for Durchgangsverkehr. The West Germans feared that acceptance of the word "transit" without qualification would imply an admission that West Berlin was foreign to West Germany, and might even allow the East Germans to reapply traffic controls along the access routes in keeping with "international...
