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.

Andrew Cordier may want to drop trespass chargest against 400 students, but City At- torney Frank Hogan (also a Columbia trustee) will not drop Columbia trustee) will not drop them. The university may want to drop its role as slumlord of Morn- ingside Heights. but as 1 o n g as the members of its board of trus- tees stand to benefit from that role, as long as almost every major financial interest in New York is represented on the board, it mayt be impossible. Rescuing Columbia from its en- tanglements in ghetto real estate and with business and government will require replacement of many of the men who now rule Colum- bia, and a change in philosophy on the entire Board. Such a change is what the stu- dents say they want to fight for. To accomplish it, they will try to appeal to members of the com- munity around Columbia. afraid to fight). They also plan to work to at- tract broader-based student sup- port within the university, by holding dorm seminars and other meetings to talk about what the university is, what it does, and its relationship with the money and power of New York.

"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. READ 'BOO KS' Every Sunday in' Try Daily Classifieds IBM invites you to join an infant industry. 4i 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. Marketing "Working with company presidents is part of the job." 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. .4 Sheaffer's big deal gets you through 29 term papers,3 book reports,17exams, 52 quizzes and 6 months of homework. Sorry about that.

"Working in data process- ing today pretty much means you work in a broad spectrum of technologies," says Nick Donofrio. "I'm pretty much the IBM Corporation in the eyes of my customers," says Andy Moran. "I consider that fairly good for an engineer who graduated only two years ago." 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." Career areas in engineering and science at IBM include: Research, Design & Develop- Finance "You're in an ideal spot to move ahead fast." "I've always figured my chances for advance- ment would be better in a growth industry. That's why I picked IBM," says Joe Takacs. Joe's been working 41 in general accounting "A computer is prac- tically use- less until some- body writes a program for it," 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.
