T THE WEEK
Sitting-in
WHEN ABOUT 200 minority
. students occupied the Ad-
ministration Building for three
days last week, it seemed at
first as if a page had been torn
from the Strawberry Statement
and brought to life half a de-
cade later. But the demonstrat-
ors quietly left Thursday after-
d. noon, after President Robben
dre Fleming promised to meet with
regood the group tomorrow in a "good
cans. faith" bargaining session.

out is now nearly two weeks
old, and essentially, negotia-
tions are no further along than
they were when the stcke be-
gan. True, the University has
conceded on four supposedly
tough issues - affirmative ac-
tion, non-discriminaion, c o n-
sultation, and recognition - but
the real blockbusters are yet
to come.
Thus far, the GEO has won
only symbolic, or paper v i c-
tories. Even union spokesper-
son Dave Gordon admitted,
"They won't mean a whole lot
to the average TF." What re-
mains to be settled are the real
bread-and-butter issues, wages,
class size and agency shop.
The University has stood firm
on these three negotiating
points. While acknowledging
'that the GEO's economic d e -
mands are justified, President
Fleming contends that "it is ob-
vious that the University is in
financial trouble" and that "the
money has to come from some-
where."
As far as class size is con-
cerned, the University asserts
it "cannot be governed by con-
tractural restrictions" partly be-
cause it "would be impossible
to meet GEO financial demands
while at the same time accept-
ing restrictions on its ability to
generate funds."
AGENCY SHOP, the final ma-
jor issue which remains to
be decided is a fairly standard
provision in labor contracts. Al-
though the University has grant-
ed this demand to all other un-
ions on campus, it maintains
that it "would be a distasteful
course of action" this time be-
cause the GEO does not repre-
sent a majority of the graduate
assistants.
As a result of this impasse a
state-appointed fact-finder will
enter the dispute next week,

this will sway his recommenda-

Feldkamp foiled
EOR A CHANGE, John Fold-
kamp did not get his own
way.
For the first time in recent
memory, the Board of Regents
did not rubber stamp his propos-
al for a dormitory rate hike
and instead passed by unani-
mous vote a motion to ft eeze
housing fees for the upcoming
year.
The Regental decision was a
compromise between Housing
Director Feldkamp's three p e r
cent increase proposal, and the
report of the Housing R a:
Committee, which reaommentd,d
a 1.23 per cent decrease.
However, it was obvious even
last year that the Regents were
not altogether happy with the
way Feldkamp proposed a rate
increase only a couple of weeks
before dormitory contracts had
to be drawn up. Although A
Regents ultimately appro.'ed
last year's eight per cent :n-
crease, a disgruntled Gerald
Dunn (D-Livonia), when aoli a
decision could not be postp >ned
commented "Every year The
same thing happens and we're
not given enough time to study
the alternatives."
Budget woes
V ARLY THIS w aek, 7ice
President for Academic
Affairs Frank Rhodes announc-
ed that despite budget prob-
lems the University woald not
cut personnel or eliminate pro-
grams. But two days later that
seemingly golden news turned to
brass when University offi.ias
learned that Gov. William Milli-
ken will order a two per cent
budget cut this year.
That news - and the $1.9
million which must be trimmed
from an already emaciated
budget - threw a monkey
wrench into the University's
economic machinery.
Now, the executives must
make reductions termed -dras-
tic" to comply with the Gwver-
nor's executive order, exp+3-. fed
to be announced someinte this
week.
What will stay and what will
go has not yet been determined.
But with previous cuts, tiere is
little left except for essentials
and that means personnel and
programs.
