ROCHESTER, Mich. 0:)-A cir-
cuit judge considered yesterday a
possible injunction which would
order more* than 500 striking
teachers back to work at OaklandI
University and Oakland Commu-
nity College.
The strikes, unprecedented
among colleges in the state, have
spotlighted the issue of faculty
unionization.
A hearing to consider the tem-
porary injunction a g a i n s t the
teachers began Monday before
Oakland County Circuit Judge
Robert L. Templin.

Some 300 at Oakland Commu-
nity College refused to obey a re-
straining order issued against
them on Friday and Judge Temp-
lin indicated that he felt the two
parties were too far apart to be
serious about reaching an agree-
ment.
More than 22,000 students have'
been kept away from the class-
rooms because of the labor dis-
putes which began Sept. 7.
At OCC the teachers said their
negotiating team reached a salary
agreement calling for a $42 raise
plus a $3 a month cost-of-livinga

allowance, but the college admin-
istrators said no such agreement
was reached.
Both sides said tentative agree-
ment had been reached on non-
economic issues for a one-year
contract.
In a similar strike, by 216 face-
ulty members at Oakland Univer-
sity the two big issues reportedly
were salaries and class size. State
labor mediators said they sought'
to solve them so the 7,500 stu-
dents could return to their class-
rooms.
The striking faculty at Oakland
Community College belong to an
independent association called the
Oakland Faculty while those strik-
ing at Oakland University'belong,
to the American Association of
University Professors.

by a jury of their peers-six other
students-and includes a student
on the three-member panel of pre-
siding judges.
But, right now, the already-ap-
proved judicial mechanism is bog-
ged down in a quagmire of red
tape and will probably not be ready,
for at least a month.
This week, Kennedy will meet
with St. Antoine to discuss what
"the remaining series of steps are
to getthis thing in operation."
"The manual of procedure will
have to be examined by COPJ to
make sure it is what they pro-
posed, and a whole series of ap-
pointments must be. initiated, such

words," said Ellen Zweig, an or-
ganizer.
"I guess the new word would
be 'community' or 'tribe,"' she
added.
The children, who will receive
two meals a day plus snacks, will
have an opportunity to participate
in theater and dance, and nu-
merous arts and crafts projects,
Heyn said.
The staff, hoping to develop a
sense of community spirit among
the children, is planning a num-
ber of field trips to expand the
school's scope as a complete learn-
ing experience, she added.
Planning for the school began
last month and the church loca-
tion, toys, materials, and time:
commitments have been donated.
Two salaried staff members
have been hired, but volunteers
are expected to play a large role
in the daily functioning of the
center.
The new school will be an addi-
tion to the growing list of re-
cent effortsin the Ann Arbor com-
munity to provide . alternative
forms of education.

For a number of years the Sl-
ctis School has represented a
different approach to high school
education with a "free school" ap-
proach, as it is popularly known.
Solstis has had trouble finding
and keeping a permanent loca-
tion, but it is still alive and edu-
cating.{
University students and others
in the community have the op-1
portunity to enroll in the Free
University. In the "Free U" par-
ticipants can teach and take
courses - not for University
credit - which are not offered
in the regular University curric-
ulum.1
A recent move in alternativet
education is the fully accredited
"Pioneer Two" free school of
Pioneer High.
Intended as an experimental
alternative to the normal school
program, "Pioneer Two" will open
next month for about 100 stu-
dents, in a former Ann Arbor ele-
mentary school building.

This difference is the major
source of disagreement between
students, and faculty and admin-
istrators. In rejecting UC's draft,
the faculty indicated that the rules
