Cliff Merriott, director of news relations for GM in Detroit,"said yesterday, "General Motors has no comment on the Chicago Tribune report. Mr. Elliott Estes, GM president, will be in Washington on Tuesday to make some announcement." He declined to elaborate. The newspaper said it had been told that Estes' announcement will be of a major breakthrough in battery technology. THE TRIBUNE said that by 1985, if not sooner, GM will use new zinc nickel oxide batteries, with a life span of 20,000-30,000 miles, and .an electric motor to power some of its cars. The new type battery is said to have about twice the power of the lead-acid battery it will replace and will need recharging every 100 or so miles. This compares with 50 miles for GM's ex- perimental Electrovette using lead- acid batteries. The Tribune said replacement costs for the new batteries would be anywhere from $800 to $1,200.

Both the president and national security affairs adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski made the comments to a group of editors Friday. Texts of the interviews were released yester- day. Brzezinski said there was no sense in "shooting oneself in the foot" by taking steps such as a grain embargo against Moscow. AND, HE SAID, it would be "a cop-out" to reject the new strategic arms limitation treaty (SALT II). Carter described the situation this way: "We are meeting' with the Soviet Union, assessing our intelligence data, under- standing clearly what is the status quo, and I'll have to make a judgment on what to do about it within the near future. "If this effort should be unsuccessful, then I would have to take appropriate action, and to go into further detail than that would be inappropriate." stance on Cuba IN A SEPARATE session, the editors asked Brzezinski if military action had been ruled out. Brzezinski said the situation-an estimated 2,000 to 3,000 Soviet combat troops stationed in Cuba-is not as dangerous as the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, which "posed a direct overt strategic threat to the United States" in the context of a wider crisis between the two powers over Berlin. "This is not a situation like 1962," he said. "The crisis is neither immediatenor as threatening by a long shot." ASKED WHETHER U.S. wheat exports to Russia mightt be curtailed, Brzezinski replied, "We do not think that the prfofitable response to the Soviet Union 'is one which involves shooting oneself in the foot in the same process." He added, "It is a cop-out from the world of competitiort to reject SALT II as a substitute for effectively competing" with the Soviet Union. "In rejecting SALT, we punish our- selves as much, if not more than we punish the Soviet Union.' On the troops issue, he said, "We are not seeking a solution which involves the humiliation of one side, and the proclamation of a victory by the other side."

Organized walkouts took place at the beginning of large lectures, while strikers outside the building harangued students to support the strike, and professors inside urged students to at- tend class. Eventually, students adjusted their class schedules. Some met for informal classes at the homes of their teaching assistants. Some discussion sessions were led by professors. Many students, however, boycotted classes altogether. Three weeks into the strike, both sides submitted bargaining positions to a MERC-appointed fact-finder. One week later, a settlement was reached. THE UNION won a 5.6 per cent wage increase, and $400 per term tuition fees. GEO also succeeded in securing assurances from the University that T HE MICHIGAN DAILY' (USPS 344-900) Volume LXXXX, No. 16 Sunday, September 23, 1979 is edited and managed by students at the University of Michigan.

One key issue resolved in the union's favor was its demand -for an agency shop. The agency shop provision provided that all GSAs either join the GEO or pay a service fee to the - union. GEO continued to push toward a more effective labor organization by affiliating itself with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). The AFT now provides legal service to GEO, and advice on organization and bargaining. The 1975-1976 contract was to expire August 31, 1976. Negotiations between the University and the union criept along, and when it appeared the tglks were headed toward a stalemate, the deadline was extended. BUT DESPITE two more extensionsw. approved by- GEO members, talks came to a standstill in early November. The University would not sign the ion- tract until GEO withdrew two grievan- ces they had against the administration under the previous contract. GEO refused and filed an unfair labor ptac- tice (ULP) with MERC. In August 1977, MERC Ad- ministrative Law Judge Shlomo Sperka ruled that the University had inot bargained in good faith with the union, and ordered it to sign the 1976-1977 coin- tract. Sperka also ruled GSAs wero in- deed employees, entitled to bargain The University decided to appeal Sperka's ruling to the full MERC board. Last March, the University and GEO concluded testimony in the case. PRE-LAW INFORMATION MEETING Wednesday, September 26th 4 pm-Aud. C Angell Hall E i
