LSA robbery
The LSA cashier's office was robbed yesterday
afternoon of about $3,300. The thief apparently ap-
proached the window with a brown paper bag and
threatened the cashier; no weapon was visible,
however. Police described the suspect as a male
in his early twenties sporting a beard, a mous-
tache, and a blue jacket. He was last seen run-
ning from the LSA building toward Maynard St.
The police say they have no leads so far and the
case is still under investigation.

Parking woes
There's no beating the rising tide of inflation.
It's going to cost more to be late these days,
thanks to a city ordinance which raised the price
of overtime parking tickets. The price for letting
that parking meter run out has doubled from $1
to $2. The new $2 fine-applies to all overtime viola-
tions, and, city officials warn, more than one tic-
ket can be issued a day.

Fast money
Over 1,200 students in Bursley and Markey halls
gave up their dinners Thursday night to benefit
the famine stricken countries of Africa. The Inter-
state Committee for Famine Relief in Africa has
already collected $1,000 from dorm fasts. The Uni-
versity is presently handing over 80 cents for each
missed meal, and the committee hopes to raise
at least $2,000 through fasting. Over 100 Martha
Cook residents have indicated they will fast on
Monday, while 1,361 students have said they will
give up meals in East and South Quad. Fasts have
also been organized in Alice Lloyd, Mosher Jor-
dan, West Quad and Stockwell.

Coal talks
The United Mine Workers bargaining Council
yesterday voted overwhelmingly to send union
President Arnold Miller back to the bargaining
tables to seek major changes in a tentative agree-
ment reached Nov. 13. Council member Gene
Mitchell of Denton, Ill., said the vote was "prac-
tically unanimous." Miller said he hoped to go
back to bargaining with the Bituminous Coal Op-
erators Association shortly.
Crooks disagree
Democrats and Republicans involved in the re-
count of New Hampshire's U. S. Senate race can-
not agree what "crooks" are. On one ballot from
Claremont, a voter wrote "crooks" in the Repub-
lican straight ticket circle. Secretary of State Ro-
bert Stark, supervising the recount in which Dem-
ocrat John Durkin trails Rep. Louis Wyman, (R-
N.H.), by 209 votes, declared the ballot invalid
yesterday. The Republicans objected, saying it was
obvious the voter was going for a straight GOP
ticket. Democrats disagreed, saying the voter's
intent was obvious: he or she was voting for Demo-
crats.

Loot recoUered
It was $2.2 million down and about $2:1 million
to go yesterday in investigators' efforts to recover
the loot carted away in Chicago's great armored
express vault burglary. Sledgehammer-swinging
FBI agents and police Thursday night found a
cache of about $2.2 million beneath a newly laid
patch of concrete in the home of the grandmother
of a suspended vault guard. Out of a seven-foot-
deep, three-foot-wide hole - under five inches of
chicken-wire reinforced concrete - the agents
dragged five army duffle bags containing about
250 pounds of $10 and $20 bills. The money was
being inventoried yesterday.

CHEERING WOLVERINE fans participate in a pep rally yesterday to exhort the Blue brigade on
to victory against arch-rival Ohio State. The big clash gets under way this afternoon in Colum-
bus. Although Michigan goes into the game a nine-point underdog, the crowd felt victory was cer-
tain.
'Oblite-rate Ohio 0State'
EMU faculty strike
looms as talks stop
By ANN MARIE LIPINSKI
"GO BLUE, BEAT OHIO, ROSE BOWL, NUM-
BER ONE!"
This cheer, led by Michigan's pom-pom squad
at yesterday's pre-game pep rally, sums up
what's first on the minds of Wolverine fans, and
what's at stake for the Michigan team this after-
noon in Columbus.
COACH BO Schembechler and his boys, greet-
ed by a fired-up crowd at the early morning rally
behind Yost Arena, appeared confident but re-
served as they prepared to hit the road to OSU.
The fans, however, more than compensated for
the Wolverines' reticence.
City resident Jack Foley, between yelps of
"Remember the Alamo!" took time out to claim
that he's "unofficially Michigan's biggest fan. 1
lived in Brooklyn all my life, but I moved to
Ann Arbor 12 years ago and haven't missed a
game since.
"Mark my word, Ohio's not going to score a
touchdown against us," he promised. "They may
make a field goal, but not a touchdown. I pre-
dict a 13-3 Michigan victory, because Woody's
good, but Bo's the greatest!"
DAVE BRIEGEL, another city resident, coun-
tered Foley's claim, vowing, "There are no big-
ger Michigan football fans than those in my
family. We haven't missed a game since the
40's, and we plan on remaining Michigan fans
forever."
Briegel ventured a final game tally of 27-17 in

YPSILANTI-The possibility
of a strike by Eastern Michigan
University (EMU) faculty mem-
bers grew yesterday as nego-
tiations between the university
and the American Association of
University Professors (AAUP)
reached an impasse.
The faculty union's bargain-
ing council rejected EMU's
latest contract offer yesterday
and issiued a call for binding
arbitration t 'end thebfive-
month-old negotiations. The ad-
ministration has remained si-
lent on the request.
IF NEGOTIATIONS do not
resume, the bargaining council
has authorized a meeting .of all
union members to vote on a
strike.
If that vote is affirmative, a
general faculty meeting will be
called to vote on the issue. The
A A U P presently represents
about 55 per cent of the 650-
member EMU faculty.
Substantial differences on non-
economic items such as faculty
governance and grievance pro-
cedures, as well as disagree-
ment on the terms of a finan
cial package still separate the
two sides.
EMU HAS reportedly offered
a 13.6 per cent base pay hike
over a two-year period but is
asking for an increase in the
instructional year from. 30 to
36 weeks.
The faculty negotiators are
pushing for a one-year 14 per
cent salary and benefit package
increase. Chief bargainer Sally
McCracken said yesterday that
the AAUP would accept a multi-
year contract "if we can get a
cost-of-living package of some
sort."
Eastern is currently negoti-
ating with maintenance workers.
and University police, whose
unions have indicated they
would honor faculty picket lines,
if a strike occurred.

TUNIS, Tunisia - Thirteen
Palestinian guerrillas were
flown in from Cairo last night to
meet the demands of three com-

aboard a hijacked British jet-
liner, the official Tunisian news
agency reported.
The agency said the prisoners
were handed over in Cairo to

were brought to Tunis in a spe-

protests
'U' stance
in talks
By JIM TOBIN
Mare than 50 members of the
Graduate Employes' Organiza-
tion (GEO) rallied yesterday on
the steps of the Rackham Bldg.
befare a collective bargaining
session to protest the Univer-
sity's stance on the union's
economic demands.
Displaying anti- University
placards, the union members
sang "Solidarity Forever" and
then listened as GEO leaders
attacked the University's recent
refusal to make any concessions
on their economic proposal.

ber of the guerrilla organiza-
tion's executive committee.
THE THREE hijackers nad
threatened to execute their hos-
tages one by one unless the 13
men held in Cairo were freed.
But the threatened execution
was postponed three times by
the hijackers.
There also were reports the
hijackers demanded release of
two Palestinians jailed in the
Netherlands.
Tunisian authorities said the
Dutch government told them it
was ready to release the two
prisoners, but there was no in-
dication whether they were en
route to Tunis.
PREMIER Joop den Uyl of
the Netherlands said earlier his
government had not received
any demands directly from the
hijackers and was planning no
action.
The airliner was parked in
the middle of the runway about
500 yards from the airport ter-
minal at Tunis-Carthage Air-
port, surrounded by ambu-
lances, fire trucks and troops.
Negotiations with the guerril-
las were being carried out by
Abu Nabal, the Tunis repre-
sentative of the PLO.
HE WAS also meeting with
the West German, Dutch and
Belgian ambassadors and the
British charge d'affaires at the
airport.
Egypt earlier refused t> enter
into any negotiations with the
guerrillas, saying Cairo would
deal only with the PLO.
There was no official word on
the nationalities of the ho;tages
but airline officials in Dubai
said that they arpeared t- be

telephoned to Beirut, the guer-
rilla group demanded "that
Egypt immediately fly o Tunis
the Palestinian guerrillas who
occupied the Saudi Embassy in
Khartoum last year, and o:'ers
who attacked a Pan-American
Airways plane in Rome last
December."
The eight guerrillas in the
Khartoum attack were convict-
ed of murder in Sudan but later
handed over to the PLO to serve
their terms.
THE FIVE Rome hijackers
were flown to Cairo in March
this year for trial by the PLO.
Earlier, a representative of
the PLO had strongly ';ri*ilized
the hijacking.
"The hijacking of the British
airliner by a group foisted on
our people is a desperate at-
tempt to offend the struggle of
our people and its armed revo-
lution," a PLO spokesperson
said. "Behind the hijacKing are
hands which are strange to our
people and hostile to the revoli-
tion."
The guerrillas who carried out
the hijacking had attacked tie
PLO and Arafat, for surrender-
ing to reactionary Arab gov-
ernments and to Secretary of
State Henry Kissinger': pro-
posals for solving the Middle
East crisis.
The fall term at EMU ends in
mid-December, and a strike af-
ter Thanksgiving would affect
final exams and graduation.
Students have reported that a
few professors have begun
drawing up contingency plans
in the event of a strike. The
plans include holding classes
and exams in private homes.
Ford Co.
sets new,
cutbacks
DETROIT (UPI)-The Ford
Motor Co. said yesterday it will
trim nearly 128,000 cars and
trucks from its production
schedules between now and
March because of lagging sales
-a move that will affect 32,475
hourly workers.
Donald Bastian, Ford vice
president for manufacturing,
said 11 of the 20 North Ameri-
can assembly plants, including
its Dearborn factory, will be
affected, nine of them in De-
cember idling '22,300 workers
temporarily. In addition, 2,876
workers will be idled indefinite-
ly in December at three assem-
bly plants and 16 manufacturing
plants.
FORD'S ACTION was the
latest in a series that began
Monday as automakers reacted
sharply to the worst new model
sales in a decade. More than
200,000 U.S. and Canadian auto
workers will be on short-and
long-term layoffs in the weeks
before Christmas because of the
slump.
Earlier in the day, American
Motors Corp., whose strong
small car sales helped it buck
last winter's energy ,crisis-
induced sales drop, said 8,000
workers will be idled next
month because it has more than
a 100-day supply of unsold cars.
Chrysler 'also confirmed that
its white collar worker layoffs
may top 10,000.
Meanwhile, consumer advo-
cate Ralph Nader claimed the
wave of layoffs hitting the sag-
ging auto industry are a result
of corporate mismanagement.
NADER, a long-time critic of
the auto industry, said the com-
panies mistakenly built up large
inventories of "large gas-
guzzling monsters" that will not
sell as well as anticipated.
"It's mismanagement," Na-
der said at a Lansing news
conference. "The auto com-
panies again did not foresee
certain trends."
He said the layoffs, which are
expected to hit 150,000 workers
by Christmas, are "very much
unnecessary."

Dec. layoffs-
By PAUL HASKINS
The nation's auto workers are hitting the
streets in record numbers, yet several local
Chrysler workers see the layoff surge less as an
immediate threat than as a warning of bad
things to come.
Chrysler officials recently announced a major.
month-long cutback in its work force, prompted
by sluggish nationwide car sales. Locally, the
layoffs could affect 30 per cent of the 150 workers
at the Ann Arbor Introl plant, and as many as
60 per cent of the 800 at its sister plant in nearby
Scio.
