tion and he felt he had to take
steps to bring it to a head, so
he took the initiative by im-
posing the oil tax."
Mahon also said Ford indi-
cated he would be open to sug-
gestionis, but did not intend *to
back down from the action he
had taken.
BUT REP. Samuel Stratton
(D-N.Y.) told the House he had
approached Ford after the
breakfast with a proposal for a
60-day delay compromise and
"1 got the impression he was
not uninterested in that kind of
compromise . .. . think a com-
promise is a real possibility."
White House Press Secretary
Ron Nessen promptly said Ford
was going ahead with plans for
the three-step oil tax. He said
Ford was willing to look at any
concrete alternative proposed
by Congress but "all they are
asking for is a delay."
Nessen announced during the
day that Ford will go to Hous-
ton, Tex., and Topeka, Kan.,

next week in his campaign for
public support of his economy
and energy proposals. Ford will
meet in Topeka Tuesday with
Midwest governors.
NESSEN ALSO said at a news
briefing that Ford will run for
a full term in 1976 regardless
of economic conditions at that
time. Nessen thus expanded on
Ford's statement at a Tuesday
news conference that "I think
the economic circumstances will
be good enough to justify at
least my 'seeking re-election."
In House debate on the oil im-
port bill, Republicans ham-
mered at thetheme that the
Democrats had produced no
counter proposals on the energy
problems and that nothing would
be gained by delaying Ford's
program.
Democrats, however, argued
that Congress had a right to
consider approaches to the goal
of reducing oil imports other
than the one chosen by Ford-
raising prices through a tax,
and so risking a burst of infla-
tion.

KRAUSSE explained that for
union members, a strike will
involvemrnot teaching classes
either on or off campus, refus-
ing to continue their research
work and not attending any of
their own classes.
T h e membership approved
two other proposals-the first
calls upon the faculty not to
involve any reprisals against
striking GSAs or undergradu-
ates who honor the picket lines
-the second pledges suppgart to
any organized opposition to the
University's raising tuition in
the face of rising salary rates.
Chief GEO negotiator Sandy
Wilkinson reaffirmed the union's
support for the Pilot Program,
saying that 18 teaching assist-
ants will lose their positions ifj
the program is axed.
Wilkinson claimed the pro-
gram has definite educational
value, and that GEO is com-
mitted to high quality under-
graduate education.

"If we do go on strike, I can't
support myself," said a GSA in
the Asian Studies department,
adding, "As a matter of fact, I
can't join the GEO simply be-
cause it costs money and I can't
afford it."
ONE GSA from the Speech
department asserted, "Even if
I could ethically manage to sup-
port a strike I couldn't do it
financially. Therecis no strike
fund."
A GSA in American Studies
cited frustration as the reason
for his opposition to a strike:
"I used to belong to the GEO
last year, but I got bored with
it. They play a lot of games.
I'm tired of waiting around in
a transient area for so long.
Besides, it's my last term teach-
ing and I don't really care."

One department chairman in
reaction to the meeting said
"nothing happened," emphasiz-
ing "anything the faculty does
is symbolic anyway." Ae esti-
mated a strike would last about
a week before the University
conceded, less if the Teamsters
became actively involved.

Neither statement acknowl-
eged that the end of negotia-
tions consisted of the University
turning down Cobb.
Several high-level sources yes-
terday challenged the credibil-
ity of the zoology department's
quick decision on Cobb's tenure
-a decision which, according to
the retracted p r e s s release,
came only "a day and a half
after Vice Presidenf Rhodes re-
quested a ruling on the tenure
issue January 23.
HIS REQUEST came after
Cobb questioned her first con-
troversial offer from the Uni-
versity: two years as LSA dtan
with no mention of tenure.
Robert Beyer, the zoology de-
partment's senior tell bicogist,'
said, "I assumed they (the de-
partment's executive commit-
tee) would have contacted me"
since his expertise is in Cobb's
field.
Beyer also echoed the amaze-
ment expressed by many faculty
members that professorial ten-
ure - a decision which usually
takes weeks of review - could
have been offered or refused in
only 36 hours.
Beyer also echoed the amaze-
ment expressed by many facul-
ty members that professorial
tenure - a decision which us-
ually takes weeks of review -
could have been offered or re-
fused in only 36 hours.
BEYER SAID the executive'
committee's reportedly unani-
mous refusal vote "was really
kept hush-hush," and another
source close to the department
emphasized: "This is the most
secret decision they've ever
made."
Department Chairman Carl
Gans has refused to comment
on any aspect of the deanship
controversy.

SAN FRANCISCO (iP)

raising 56 hours in February.
A catalog will be prepared
and distributed containing a list
of recordings from which the
public may request selected
pieces of music from $15 to $3,-
500 to be played over the air
during the 56 hours. The money
goes to the symphony; the proj-
ected goal is $100,000.
This year four major sym-
phony orchestras cosponsored
marathons with classical music
stations. It was the fifth year
for Cleveland, the fourth for
Boston and the first for Denver
and the National Symphony in

Cleveland netted $39,840 in
1970 and $73,530 in 1974, bring-I
