According to Claude Orr, associate director of housing, the meetings represent the last opportunity students will have to make their views known on the housing rate issue. The committee is vested with making recommendations on rate changes to the hous- ing office. 0 Ecology drive planned Hold onto those old telephone directories! The Univer- sity's Energy Conservation Task Force is starting an ecology drive to collect old directories when new ones are distributed this week. The group plans to designate conveniently located drop points soon where books can be discarded, according to task force chairman, David Heebink. The directories will then be picked up and brought to the Ecology Center for recycling. 0 Ford lays off workers The Ford Motor Co. yesterday said parts shortages caused by a strike in Canada has forced the layoff of 22,033 hourly workers who will return to their jobs when parts are available. The layoffs-which will affect Ford's General Products Division plant in Ypsilanti-are in ad- dition to the more than 177,000 workers being idled this month and in January because of slumping big-car sales due to the energy crisis. The majority of the layoffs are for less than one week as automakers trim more than 100,000 cars from production schedules.

U. S. District Court Judge Howard Corcoran in Washington fined the company $5,000 and William Keeler, former Phillips board chairman, $1,000. Keeler could also have drawn up to a one-year prison term under the maximum sentence for the crime. Pioneer still sending data Pioneer 10 has sailed safely through Jupiter's radia- tion belts, and is still transmitting important data as it heads for the Milky Way. Project scientists have esti- mated that Pioneer's radio may continue to send data for five years, out to a distance of two billion miles from earth near the orbit of the planet Uranus. They have already begun to study data that charted the shape and nature of the giant planet Jupiter's magnetic field, measured the magnitude of violent radiation belts and promised to reveal delicate details of the turbulent Jovian atmosphere. "I'm elated. What else can I say," said Charles Hall, Pioneer project manager, after the unmanned 570-pound spacecraft-nearly destroyed by violent radiation storms - swept within 81,000 miles of Jupiter's colorful cloud tufts. e Back to the picketline UFW organizers may now have eight picketers in A&P parking lots across the state and unlimited number on the sidewalks, according to a modified injunction handed down by Oakland County Circuit Court Judge William Hampton. Also, the picketers are now allowed to use the A&P name in their literature and carry on their secondary boycott against the store. The new rul- ing alters last week's temporary injunction, which banned secondary boycotting and forbade more than two picketers on A&P property. Hampton made the decisin Monday after the boycott's lawyer, William Mazey, de- nied the A&P allegations of "menacing, assaulting and harrassing" by picketers. Big, bad Santa Although he may be labeled a Scrooge, a psychology professor in New York says that a roly-poly Santa Claus can be a very frightening figure to young children. Da- vid Elkind says that three and four-year-olds often have a different idea of the Santa image than what adults have. "Some children," he said, "are as afraid of Santa as they are of any other strangers," he says. The Uni- versity of Rochester prof says parents shouldn't pres- sure their kids into visiting Santa. In addition, he cau- tions parents to prepare them for the visit of the chuck- ling man in red. "Tell them what'sthappeningwhile you wait in line," he said. "And take them to a reputable store."

A month later the organization has yet to win any measure of Uni- versity recognition, however. Now that the heat is no longer on, the OTF may find it far more diffi- cult to recruit a majority of the University's TF's into its ranks. LOCKED in a double bind, OTF is faced with University President Robben Fleming's refusal to deal with anything but a legally consti- The te tuted bargaining agent, and a gen- eral unwillingness among TFs to unionize. OTF's future appears to depend on finding some middle ground as a non-union "permanent association" - dependent, as teaching fellows have always been, on the faculty for support. The OTF's dilemma stems in large part from the agility with which Fleming responded to its demands for restoration of finan- cial support taken away from TFs over the summer. One day before the well-pub- licized mass meeting at which the TFs were expected to vote to strike, Fleming announced that $2 million generated by excess tuition achers union that isn't revenues them.

OTF activists say they want to talk to Fleming about the final al- location of the $2 million this year and the status of TFs in the future, but neither Fleming nor Vice President Allan Smith, with whom the TFs dealt prior to Flem- ing's $2 million bombshell, will agree to meet with them. "THE UNIVERSITY can't agree to recognize a bargaining agent for any of its employes unless it is forced to as prescribed under Michigan law," Smith explained. "This is Regental policy, this is our legal responsibility, and we intend to stick bysit," he added. When an OTF representative spoke phone would sity legal counsel, whom he said could acquaint OTF with the re- quirements for unionization. OTF executive committee mem- ber Sandy Silberstein called Flem- ing's refusal to meet with TFs "completely unreasonable", charg- ing that Fleming is using the law as a pretext to "force us up against the wall." FLEMING told the Daily last Friday that if OTF wanted any kind ofrUniversity recognition, "it would require an election" - a See OTF, Page 8 with Fleming recently, t h e only refer him1 over the president to Univer- TAX, RATIONING EXPECTED Nixon prepares gas crisis plan Truckers block in protest o If hu highways gel prices, By Reuter and AP to the illegal bhl WASHINGTON-The Nixon Administration is ac- gasoline rationi tively considering a plan for higher gasoline taxes States. combined with negotiable rationing coupons to fight Johnson agree the oil shortage, a treasury official said yesterday. a variation ofa William Johnson, special assistant to Deputy Secre- was only one o tary of the Treasury William Simon, told the House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee the LATER IN TI Administration will likely present a program that said it will mak combines both a higher gasoline tax and rationing. on whether to ra This was disc JOHNSON OUTLINED to the tax-writing committee named by Pres a unique proposal for a gasoline tax of between 30 agency to deal w cents and SO cents a gallon.

Someday, that peel, as well as other food and paper wastes may be used to help produce electrical power. Of the many alternative fuels being proposed by , University re- searchers as possible remedies to the energy crunch, the cheapest and most available resource is good old household garbage. Physics Prof. Marc Ross feels that "the use of garbage must be seriously considered in the near future - it is cheap, easy, and has proved= viable." Although Ross believes that recycling paper waste is more bene- ficial than but burning it, he feels that "most of America is too lazy to separate paper waste from the rest of their garbage." THERE ARE three basic methods for converting garbage into a useable fuel: burning, heating, and bacterial action. According to Ross, the most profitable process is direct burning of waste to produce steam that can be converted into electrical power. Molecular breakdown by bacterial action produces a methane gas; heating under pressure produces carbon, an oil, and a gas - all useable energy sources. ROSS CONTENDS that even if garbage was fully utilized, however, that it could only provide 2 per cent of the country's total energy needs. "This country, needs to cut back on its fuel consumption--energy has been too cheap in the past and has prevented people from thinking of better ways to produce it," says Ross. The main drawback with burning garbage is air pollution, which Ross feels is a "solvable problem." He adds that the possibility of using garbage to produce heat at the University is being considered.

Some drivers called stoppage. It was not immediately clear whether the demonstrations were part of a coordinated effort, al- though some drivers apparently were involved in more than one blockage. In Los Angeles' OverdrivesMaga- zine, which bills itself as "the voice of the American trucker," called for a nationwide walkout on Dec. 13 and 14. A spokesperson said the protest would signify "the ultimate in fuel conservation." Mike Parkhurst, editor and pub- lisher of the magazine, said at a news conference that the protests were not directly related to his statement, but claimed they re- flected the same frustrations. He said he was urging the stop- page to protest "the proposed 55 mile-an-hour speed limit for trucks, as well as a general protest over the fuel shortages which are caus- ing delay and aggravation to the nation's truckers." The American Trucking Associa- tion and the Teamsters Union de- nied any involvement in yesterday's protest in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey and West Virginia. AND IN another fuel crisis de- velopment, The Senate voted last night to put the nation on year- round daylight saving time for the next 22 months. The measure, of- fered as part of the federal energy program, will allow a state to ex- empt itself from daylight time dur- ing the winter months. A state with two or more time zones could ex- empt any zone. The vote was 68 to 10. The House has passed a similar bill, and a conference committee will come up with a compromise of the two versions.
