By RICK PERLOFF
The Inter-Cooperative Councilt
last night approved the formation
of a steering committee to coor-
dinate all activities relating to the
ICC's North Campus project.
The new co-op is expected to
be ready for lodging in time for
the fall term of 1969. ICC is the
first student group not associated
with a university to receive federal
aid to construct such a building.
The cooperative, to be located
behind Vera Baits housing, will
U reaches
contract with'
second union
The Washtenaw County Build-
ing Trades Council (WCBTC)
reached a contract agreement on
Monday night with the University
after eight months of contract
talks.
Details of the agreement which
covers 275 maintenance trades
employes, have not been an-
nounced pending results of a rati-
fication vote the union hopes to
complete this week.
Jack Wheatley, chairman - of
the union negotiating committee,
said he and committee members
representing University emnployes
of the WCBTC would "take posi-
tive action in recommending rati-
fication of the agreement."
e University's chief nego-
tiator, James Thiry, compliment-
ed the union on its effective re-
presentation of the 10 local unions
allied in the trades council. Thiry
said 22 classifications of em-
ployes are involved.
Local 547 of the International
Union of. Operating Engineers rat-
ified its contract with the Univer-
sity September 12. The union had
been negotiating with the Univer-
sity since December, 1967.
The University is negotiating
another contract with Local 1583
of the American Federation of
State, County, and Municipal Em-
ployes (AFSCME). The union
seemed to be on the verge of a
strike two weeks ago, but talks
have been resumed and are sched-
uled for the remainder of the
week.
Talks are still progressing slow-
ly. The negotiators are currently
going over the University's last of-
fer on non-economic issues. The
disagreements seem to be largely
in the area of wording and are ap-
parently not substantive.
The union, which represents
over 2600 service and maintenance
employes, will not take its eco-
nomic offer until the non-eco-
nomic negotiations have been
completed.y
lodge 210 students, 138 men and
72 women. The architectural firm
of Tampold and Wells is respon-
sible for the project's overall de-
sign. At present, it is expected
that bidding can begin around
early November.
The North Campus project, in
the mulling over stages for 12
years, was given preliminary ap-
proval by the Department of
Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) on July 1 and was form-
ally approved last week by the Re-
gents.
It is tentatively agreed that the
ICC will receive a $1,242,000 long-
term loan from HUD.
The loan will be paid at an in-
terest rate of 3 per cent over 50
years. ICC will issue corporate
bonds at the 3 per cent rate and
HUD will purchase them, but not
until the co-op is almost complet-
ed.
There are 18 twelve-man hous-
es within the co-op, each a little
bit different in design. To avoid
the "bureaucratic and impersonal
nature of a president-vice presi-
dent system" and for efficiency
purposes it wa's tentatively decided
the duties of each house would
be handled by two committees of
six. In co-ops, the students them-
selves run the house. They cook
the meals, clean the floors and in
general maintain working order.
The North Campus co-operative
will have three floors. The first
will contain the four dining halls,
a central fireplace, music practice
and listening rooms, workshops for
woodwork, as well as a laundry
room and a photography dark
room.
Each of the houses, located on
the second and third floors, h a s
its own commons room and kit-
chen.
In order to obtain varying skills
and interests, the North Campus
steering committee will include
non-members as well as members
of the ICC. Specifically the com-
mittee is responsible for architec-
tural drawings and accommoda-
tions, will advise the board of
directors on contracts and bidding
and will handle all publicity and
fund raising for the project.

Vice presidents appropriate
supplemental funds for SGC
(Continued from Page 1)
the funds can be provided by the
student affairs office. "Their bud-
get is pretty tight," he explained.
Council requested a $7,000 sup-
plemental appropriation earlier
this month. SGC members argued
that appropriations - 25 cents
per student per term -- had failed
to keep pace with inflation.
However, the new appropriation
does not signal acceptance of this
argument by the University's exe-
cutive officers.
Interim Vide President for Stu-
dent Affairs Barbara Newell said
the appropriation was made only
because of Council's present fin-
ancial difficulties.
Mrs. Newell said the supplemen-
tal appropriation will have no
bearing on the consideration of
SGC's larger request for n e x t
year.
Koeneke said increasing, ex-
penditures and costs compelled!
Council to request $40,000 for
the coming fiscal year.
He saidgthis year's major ex-
penses include $9,000 for office
supplies, telephone bills and sec-
retarial salaries; $2,500 to operate
the legal aid service; and $2,000
for Student Housing Association.
The recent financial crisis has
convinced many Council membef s
of the need to incorporate SGC.
This move, they say, would give
Council greater liberty in collect-3
ing and spending funds.
However, proponents of the
plan say it will be meaningless un-
less the University agrees to con-
tinue collecting SGC dues from
the student body.

IBM invites you to join an infant industry.

Big as it is, the information processing
industry is just beginning to grow.
Recently, Fortune estimated that the value
of general purpose computers installed in
this country will more than double by 1972.
Other publications have other predictions,
and probably no source is totally precise. But
most agree that information processing is
one'of America's fastest growing major
industries.
Every day, it seems, computers go to work
in a new field or new application. IBM com-
puters are working in such diverse fields as
business, law, medicine, oceanography,
traffic control, air pollution. Just about any
area you can name.
To somebody just starting out, this growth
means exceptionally good chances for
advancement. Last year, for example, we
appointed over 4,000 managers-on
performance, not seniority. Here are four
ways you could grow with IBM:
ment, Manufacturing, Product Test, Space
and Defense Projects, and Field Engineering.
You'll need at least a B.S. in any technical field.

since he got his B.B.A. in June, 1968. Growth
wasn't the only reason he chose IBM. He
says, "I learned that it's general practice at
IBM to promote from within and toipromote
on merit alone. I like that.
"Another growth factor is the job itself," Joe
says. "During my first few years, I'll get experi-
ence in nearly every area of general account-
ing-Income & Expensle, Balance Sheet,
and so on. I'll be learning how the company
is structured and how it operates on a broad
scale. That's exactly the kind of knowledge
I'll need to help me qualify for a manager's iob."
Career areas in finance at IBM include:
Financial Planning, Financial Analysis,
Pricing and Business Policy Development,
Accounting, Information Systems, and
Internal Auditing. You'll need at least a
Bachelor's degree.

Andy earned his B.S.E.E. in 1966. Today,
he's a Marketing Representative with IBM,
involved in the planning, selling and installa-
tion of data processing systems.
Andy's customers include companies with
annual sales ranging from 20 million
to 120 million dollars. He often works
with executive vice-presidents and presi-
dents. Andy says, "At first I was a little
nervous about the idea of advising execu-
tives at that level. But by the time I finished-
training, I knew I was equipped to do the job."
Career areas in marketing at IBM include:
Data Processing Marketing and Systems
Engineering, Office Products Sales, and
Information Records Sales. Degree require-
ment: B.S. or B.A. in any field.
Programming
"It's a mixture
of science
and art."
An Associate Engineer at IBM, Nick is a
1967 graduate in Electrical Engineering. He
designs circuits using MOSFET (Metal Oxide
Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor)
technology.
Nick says, "Your specialty at IBM can take
you into the front yard of half a dozen dif-
ferent fields. In my job, for example, I work
with systems design engineers, chemists,
physicists, metallurgists, and programmers.
The diversity helps me keep up to date on
the latest technologies."

says Earl Wilson.
Earl got a B.A. in Mpdern
Languages in June, 1967.
He's now an IBM programmer working on a
teleprocessing system that will link the
computerized management information
systems of several IBM divisions.
Earl defines a "program" as a set of
instructions that enables a computer to do a
specific jbb. "Programming involves
science," says Earl, "because you have to
analyze problems logically and objectively.
But once you've made your analysis, you
have an infinite variety of ways to use a
computer's basic abilities. There's all the
room in the world for individual expression."
Career areas in programming at IBM include:
Systems Programming, Applications Pro-
gramming, Programming Research, and
Internal Programming for IBM's own use.
You'll need at least a B. S. or'B. A.
