The members of Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) Local 660 ratified a tentative ver- sion of the contract at a meeting Monday night, according to union negotiator Bill Vargo. Cellar Assistant Manager John Sappington said the management negotiators are "almost ready" to take a version of the contract to the store's Board of Directors for approval. - "WE ARE ALMOST to the end," Sappington said Tuesday. "We're really close to getting the whole thing done." He said the management will probably meet with the union this week to r emp'loyees'ck discuss union-membership requirements for discuss store structure.

Mary Lewison, a head teller at the branch, said the large increase was being requested because of the present rate of inflation and what she called low hourly wages. IN A STATEMENT issued Tuesday by the bank, management said the picketers "do not represent the feelings of the majority of the bank employees." But Lewison estimated 90 per cent of the 185 employees at the bank's seven branches are dissatisfied with wage levels. She attributed the low participation in the walkout to fear of being fired, despite the fact that picketers were told they would not lose their positions because of the demonstration. Bartuk said the bookkeeping and proof departments at the Stadium Street branch were expected to stop work yesterday. ttlement In another labor dispute, the 24-day strike 14 skilled trades workers on campus ended after an agreement with the University was reached following a third meeting with a mediator Aug. 24.

He added that Shapiro had always been candid and helpful in his association with the faculty. AFTER SOME of the commotion of the announcement wore off, Shapiro sat down to discuss his role in the Univer- sity's future, and his positions on some campus issues.- "I hope that when I'm through as University president that people will not say that Shapiro was president Planning 4 (continued from Page 1) The preliminary plans call for a 15- story building to replace the 53-year-old Main Hospital-the largest of the medical complex's 12 patient care facilities-as well as renovations of other buildings in the medical center. ACCORDING TO university officials, the project would assure the Univer- sity's medical center of a place in the front ranks of the nation's medical. teaching and research centers. The Detroit-based CHPC-SEM agrees that the old Main Hospital needs to be replaced, but the council said Univer- sity plans for the hospital are too big and too expensive. The regional health planning council is a watch-dog agency designed to help control escalating healthc are costs by ensuringthatnhospital construction projects are necessary and do not duplicate resources found in the same region. But the University argued that the regional planning criterica should not during those years. What they'll say is that during those years, here's a program that flourished, there's a fellowship for the institution," he said. "That's what counts in the Univer- sity. Administrators are just here to provide those opportunities." HE SAID as president he "must provide a style of leadership that allows the faculty and students to maximize their potential - a style of leadership that will raise the being around the University.

The University said the hospital was not only a community resource, but also a state and national resource. FURTHERMORE, THE University refused to changeEthehospital plans during the regional review. The dispute betweeen the regional health planning council and the University continued throughout the summer. Here is how it developed: Following a meeting during which it was determined that the University was unwilling to scale down its hospital plans, the regionalrcouncil on April 10 recommended to the state Department of Public Health that they reject the project. Regional planners asked the Univesity to agree to a delay to allow for a futher review at the regional level. The University refused. ON APRIL 22 state officials told the University there would have to be reductions in the cost of the proposed hospital, but also said the project would not be delayed for further review at the regional level. On June 12, state officials announced they intended to approve the hospital plans, outlining a list of seven con- ditions under which the hospital could be built. The state again told the regional council the project could notbe delayed for a second regional review. University officials had already agreed to a delay at the suggestion of the state, but only for the purpose of a state reviewand not a regional review. The list of seven conditions for ap- proval included reducing the proposed bed complement for the new hospital from 923 to 900 beds and keeping the cost of patient care space in the hospital below $200 million. THROUGHOUT MAY and-June, regional planners repeatedly charged that the University was "politicizing" the hospital planning, and ignoring ' Hospitali regional planning concerns: On June 27, the regional council vote to bring suit agaisnt the Department1 Public Health to force it to allow it: second review of the hospital project.
