Although union officials were unavailable for comment, chief University negotiator James Thiry said last night, "A strike does not seem imminent. There was noindication at the meeting that a strike would take place." Thiry said the University will resume negotiations with the union at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow. They plan to continue meeting into the evening and on Friday, he added.

David Hilliard, a Black Pan- ther spokesman, called the attack on Panther headquarters "an open act of war against the b la c k community." According to :lilliard, although the high-powered bullets pene- trated a wall separating the of- fice from an apartment in the back, and also riddled a cafe next door to the office, no one was in- jured. The office itself was un- occupied at the time of the attack.

Lewis will square off against Harvey, who is under investiga- winners of Ann Arbor's Aug. 6 tion for unfair labor practices by primary, incumbent Democrat Sheriff Douglas J. Harvey, and Republican nominee George A. Petersen. A former deputy sheriff, Lewis has harsh words for Harvey's policies, citing the "intimidation and brutality" used during last' week's welfare sit-in protest in the County Bldg. Lewis denounced "the use of dogs and the Oakland County Tactical Mobile Unit during the arrests of welfare mothers and students." To help people "feel that law enforcement officials are available to protect them," Lewis proposes, the establishment of a Citizen's Review Board. the state Labor Mediation Board and the state attorney general, has said he does not think charges against him interfere with his chances for victory. The sheriff, who overcame two Democratic opponents for his pri- mary victory, said he had felt assured of his primary victory. However, David M.

John Feldkamp, director of Uni- versity housing, said yesterday that he is prepared to keep the cafeterias in 'Markley Hall and South Quadrangle open in the event of a strike. Although strike votes are a com- mon negotiating tactic of unions, Minner pointed out Monday that AFSCME has never chosen to call a strike vote before economic issues had even been discussed. He said that was an indicator of how poorly talks were progressing up! to then.

The problem at the University 'is poten- tially very acute, for a large portion of the teaching of undergraduate courses is done by graduate teaching fellows, many of whom are now draft-eligible. The effects of the new law have been slight so far-at least on the surface. Assis- tant Dean Byron Groesbeck of the graduate school says preliminary enrollment figures for his school are only "slightly down" from this time last year. However, this was accomplished only by a nonio nf "ner-amitance. " Mnre annlicant counted for a larger proportion this year than usual. Groesbeck emphasized that the school had by no means lowered its admissions stand- ards, but merely had admitted more of the qualified applicants. The law school adopted a similar policy of "over-admission" for this term. It has also paid off in compensating for the effect of the draft. Pat McCauley, Law School admissions of- ficer, said the freshman law class is slight- ly overenrolled, but he expects this to be only a temporary condition. He said several students have already had their pre-induc- tion physicals, the final step before being drafted. Even if the current figure does not drop, McCauley said, ,the facilities of the Law mScholae ,ta n tl xbe to na nden the If the stay was refused on basis of the letter alone, Groesbeck said, the school would enter the picture and support the student's position at the state selective service direc- tor's level. Groesbeck explained that directives issued by national draft director Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey led to the belief that this procedure would help obtain a stay. Groesbeck said this action has not been necessary yet. He said that in case a teaching fellow is called, the appropriate department chair- man will be asked, to defend the student at the state level. Last April, Hershey ruled that graduate students could not qualify for occupational deferments just because they were part- time teachers. But there was nothing to stop a full-time teacher, occupationally deferred, frnm ~~ ctyii ar n -hi na tn
