Howard added that the schools have been attempting to cover building and ground expenses out of the general operating budget, but that this method of funding is increasingly inadequate. HE SAID that the board does not intend to ask for special millage votes for other programs now in- cluded in the operating budget, but pointed out that "this proposal makes a lot of sense. It is political- ly viable and necessary to protect the budget from the pressures of collective bargaining." If the one mill proposal is suc- cessful, a Building and Site Fund will be established, for which the school board will set priorities and collect money annually. Howard declined to make a pre- diction on the impact of voter turnout on the outcome of the mill- age referendum. On the basis of the only previous winter millage vote, between 14 and 20 per cent of city voters will beat a path to the polls Monday. off non-essential lights, doubling up classes for field trips, turning off school vehicle engines while they are not being driven, lowering the temperature of hot water, pro- viding in - s e r v i c e conservation training for custodial staff, and extending the winter vacation for one or two weeks. Howard said it is "impossible to compute" how much money these economies will save until next summer, especially since fuel costs are rising unpredictably. HOWARD HASTENED to assure the public that changes in lighting patterns will not engender new security risks. David Harrell of the Ann Arbor Education Association (AAEA) said that the teachers' group is vigorously promoting passage of the millage proposal. He added that any alteration of the school calendar, such as an extension of winter vacation and thus the school year, would reopen negotiations on the contract provision for the school calendar. The AAEA will not have an offi- cial position on the vacation ex- tension until after the Thanksgiv- ing recess.

The issue was finally put to rest after the decision was reversed and both the Association and the' Michigan Employment Relations Committee, co-appellents in the case, took the case into the Mich- igan Supreme Court.

The interns cited the Hospital's records room, appointment sched- uling delays, and the need for a licensed practical nurse on per- manent duty at the X-ray Depart- ment in their demands. The University, according to Hospital Assistant Director Stuart Williams, agreed that the issues should be dealt with, but argued that the bargaining table was in- appropriate for settlements. HE SAID A bargaining table set- tlement would "leave other groups out of the picture," naming the nurses, doctors, pharmacists and social workers who would not be consulted. The decision to have intern rep- resentation on the committee rath- er than a bargaining table settle- ment is considered a victory by both sides- : J. z 3fi: Y.!Yt;(S103'4 70 . .

Monday Nixon launched a new campaign to restore national confi- lence in his leadership and credibility by announcing he would release several Watergate tapes and documents not subpoenaed by Judge Sirica. Nixon said he hoped the steps he was taking would dispel public Joubts prompted by a White House announcement two weeks ago that wo of the Watergate tapes demanded in court orders did not exist. BUT THE IMPACT of the President's disclosure was weakened to come extent by his claim that another tape of his recollections of a neeting with Dean on April 15, which the White House promised the .ourt it would produce, could not be found.
