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. 0 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. 0 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.

He acknowledged, howeler, that he felt he faced more trou- ble in the House than the Sen- ate, largely because of the members' concern over possible conflicts of interest. Doily Photo by PAULINE LUBENS 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 See PEP, Page 2 { ... .... ..................... !::Y By DAVID BURHENN 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. Guerrillas win release 13, still hold 41 hostage By AP and Reuter TUNIS, Tunisia - Thirteen Palestinian guerrillas were flown in from Cairo last night to meet the demands of three com- rades h o I d i n g 41 hostages aboard a hijacked British jet- liner, the official Tunisian news agency reported. The agency said the prisoners were handed over in Cairo to Yasir Arafat's Palestine Liber- ation Organization (PLO). They were brought to Tunis in a spe- cial Egyptian Airlines flight to- gether with a PLO delegation headed by Abou Ayed, a mem- G;EO 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.

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 ,11 British or of Rritishh xvrac.- 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." TN THE face of increasin Auto workers brace for 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.
