equal to that of the faculty for
the 1975-76 year. Also, they
have proposed a tuition rate of
$440 per term for all GSAs with
eight or more credit hours.
THE PREVIOUS University
offer provided for a tuition fee
of $548 per term which would
not be subject to a tuition hike
for other students. The current
offer is subject to changes.
This leaves the GEO a risk to
take. The current University
offer is better than the previous

one only if tuition is not raised.
If there is a substantial tuition
hike, they will pay more than
they would have under the
previous proposal of $548.
" Class size. The report as-
serts that "the class size issue
is one on which the University
cannot permit itself to be gov-
erned by contractual restric-
tions." Factors that must be
considered include: educational
policy, faculty determination on
how best to operate the depart-
ment, the impact of technologi-

in its early stages, the rate of
growth in the art has been
"really fantastic," according to
the professor.
REITMAN contrasted the pro-
cess of educating humans -'
through years of schooling -
with the relatively simple task
of educating computers with
tapes. The expense for com-
puters, he said, would be "a
matter of $100 in 20 seconds in-
stead of $100,000 in 20 years."
But two major obstacles today
block the process of teaching
computers. One, Reitman ex-
plained, involves getting com-
puters to see. This factor of per-

ception, he said, is an impor-
tant difference between humans
and computers.
Computers, he said, "can't
process things in volume," and,
at present, cannot distinguish
faces, t e x t u re or complex
scenes.
THE SECOND problem, Reit-
man said, lies with the task of
learning. Computers can easily
store simple facts, the psychol-
ogist stated, but unless they
can discover the implications of
those f a c t s, the computers
haven't duplicated human cap-
abilities.
But Reitman predicted both
p r o b l e m s may be overcome
within 10 to 15 years.
Reitman, the author of a 1965
book on computers called "Cog-
nition and Thought," expr-ssed
greater reservations at over-
coming the control problem.
"Where do we stop?" he asked,
adding that with use of arilfi-
cial intelligennce on a very
large scale, "we may be asking
for trouble."

cal change, cost, and the fact
that policy and practice vary
enormously in different parts
of the campus."
THE GEO has demanded a
limit of 25 students for most
classes, and a limit of 20 where
student participation is essen-
tial, such as language classes.
If either party is to move
on this issue, it is more likely
to be the union. While much of
GEO's undergraduate support
hinges on this demand, the Uni-
versity would face an outraged
faculty should it be granted.
t Agency shop. The demand
is that a service fee be assessed
from all GSAs who do not be-
long to the union, since they
would benefit from the contract
negotiated by the GEO.
The University holds that al-
thought they have granted an
agency shop to all other unions
on campus, "it is complicated
in this case because the GEO
appears still to represent less
than half of the TAs and RAs;
. . . to impose the requirement
of joining the union or paying
a service fee on those who do
not wish to join is a distasteful
course of action, particularly
in an academic group."
IN ADDITION, the University
claims that the provision would{
be unjust for all those GSAs
who teach class as part of their
fulfillment of degree require-
ments. GSAs in this category
make up a substantial portion
of the graduate student popula-
tion.

from both sides on this impor-
tant and complex clause.
The two sides have agreed
that union members will be;
