SHAPIRO TO CONFER WITH ADVISORY GROUP: Academic v-p. hunt gearing up ;u w ,. .ti . .. ? i By MITCH CANTOR Harold Shapiro, the University's vice-president for academic affairs, will have significant input as to who his successor will be when he takes over the University presidency Jan. 1, ac- cording to the chairman of the advisory committee searching for the next vice- president. Since Shapiro is moving from the number two University post to the number one spot, he will be working very closely with his replacement, ac- cording to Richard Corpron, chairman of the nine-member Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs (SACUA). SACUA, ALONG with two students to be selected by Interim University President Allan Smith and the Michigan Student Assembly (MSA), will comprise the advisory committee that will recommend candidates to the Regents. The Board will make the final decision. "Certainly' Mr. Shapiro is going to hve to say a great deal about it (the search process). We will have to talk to Shapiro ... to decide what type of per- son he'll want," Corpron said yester- day., SACUA met to begin discussing the search late in August, but very few details of the search have been worked out, according to Engineering Prof. Ar- ch Naylor, vice-chair of SACUA. "I WOULD SAY we're in the process of drawing up the process," Naylor said yesterday. Currently, however, Corpron and Naylor say the search will strongly resemble the one used when Shapiro was hired to the same position in 1977. According to the plan-then called for by former president Robben Fleming and similarly by President Allan Smith this year-the advisory committee will present a small list of final candiates to the Regents, who will make the final decision. The Board members, though not bound to the list of five or six can- didates, will likely select one of the finalists, according to Corpron. THE ADVISORY committee will ac- cumulate possible candidates, from various sources, including those who respond to ads which have been placed in higher education publications. Among the qualifications mentioned in the notices for candidates are "suf- ficent budget experience" and "demonstrated creative and efficient administrative leadership in program planning, development and coor- dination." While no one involved in the search has predicted how many people will ap- ply for the position, between 50 and 60 applications and resumes were turned in during the last presidential search. AFTER THE advisory committee members whittle the list down to about 20 or 30, they will interview some of the applicants before composing their final list, Corpron said. Both the SACUA members and ad- ministrators say the search will resem- ble the presidential search in many ways. They agree, for instance, that the same strict secrecy that marked the recently-concluded search should be part of the vice-presidential search. "Considering the number of people in the (presidential) process it was beautifully handled," Naylor said.H along with Corpron, Shapiro, a;; Smith, feels strongly that names candidates shouldn't be publicized f fear that being in the limelight miglk prompt some of the candidates to dro$ out of contention. ACCORDING TO Smith, the Regents, won't have quite as extensive role in this selection. "I think there won't be quite as ex- tensive consultation by Regents with people around the country," Smith,, said. Those involved in the search say it's too early to list specific qualifications they are looking for. The deadline for nominations to the post is October 20. Corpron said he hopes the selection will be made before Jan. 1. CITY, UNION HEADED TOWARD ARBITRA TION: Fire fighters nix contract offer S14TE 1-2-34 231 So. State St Phone 662-5296 ANN ARBOR By PATRICIA HAGEN Ann Arbor fire fighters voted last night to reject the city's latest contract offer, meaning the dispute will probably be resolved by binding ar- bitration, the president of the association said. "There's no question, it's going to binding arbitration," said Lester Kobeck, head of the union representing the city's 113 fire fighters, who have been working without a contract since June 30. THREE-YEAR CONTRACTS for city police officers and fire fighters expired June 30 and negotiators have been meeting since May to write new con- tracts for both groups. Under state law, police and fire fighter associations can- not strike, and negotiations must con- tinue past the expiration date of the contract. Negotiators resort to binding artibration only if talks between the union and local negotiators are stalemated. The fire fighters voted to reject the proposal because no change was made in the association's retirement plan, Kobeck said. Under the contract that expired this year, Kobeck explained, fire fighters must retire at 55, but the association wants its new contract to include a reduction in the "penalty" for voluntary early retirement. ..

If a mediator is called into negotiations, Kobeck said the associaiton will ask for a cost of living, provision in the wage package. In other developments, Muskovitt said Wednesday that a contract set6 tlement with the city's 120 police of- ficers may be reached within "several days." "We have a general outline 'of a possible agreement," said th- president of the Ann Arbor Police O ficers Association, Charles Ghent. NEGOTIATORS MET yesterday and, more talks are scheduled for, this,-~ weekend to finalize contract languaga Ghent said the association may be able to vote to ratify a contract by the end of: next week. City Council must also app prove a contract. The officer's salary package, which j includes a cost of living provision, ande work schedules have been the crucial, issues in the four months of a negotiations, according to Ghent. Ghent said the talks to write the, proposed two year contract currently; being considered have proceeded smoother than talks in previous years.l WHEN INFORMED of the vote, the negotiator for the city said the city was not going to change its position on the retirement issue. Melvin Muskovitz said a state appointed mediator would not be able to reach a settlement if the union will not change its position. Negotiators met yesterday afternoon. and -evening before the proposal was presented at the' regularly scheduled membership meeting when the vote was taken. 1' I LL 1 I h -77- ;ai Aura Sounde's Storewide Record And Tape Sale We like to think we're a cut above the rest.
