Miner
" Guaranteed health benefits, in-
cluding a $5 million fund to compensate
for a reduction in benefits announced in
July 1977. The operators also agreed to
underwrite pension benefits now in
existence.
SMiners who honor picket lines will not
be disciplined.
* No incentive pay and no probationary
period.
After the contract is distributed to the
UMW's 160,000 members, the
ratification procedure is expected to
take at least a week and officials,
predict it will take another 20 days
before the mines are ready for
reopening.'
Early reaction from miners was
mixed.

The agreement was the model for the
settlement between the UMW and the
130-member Bituminous Coal
Operators Association announced by
President Carter Friday just two hours
before he planned to intervene to end
the nation's longest coal strike.
A UMW spokesman in Washington
declined to evaluate the significance of
the 356-163 vote by miners. "I have no
comment or interpretation on the vote
at this time," the spokesman said.
EVEN IF UMW miners working for P
and M in Missouri endorsed the ten-
tative settlement, the spokesman said it
would represent too few votes to over-
turn the rejection.
United Mine Workers leaders plan to
push for ratification of the new coal
contract proposal through television
and newspaper ads, and miners will
feel further pressure from the ad-
ministration, officials said yesterday.
"This agreement serves the national
interest as well as your own interest
and those of your families," he said. "If
it is not approved without delay, time
will have run out for all of us and I will
have to take the drastic and unsatisfac-
tory legal action which I would have
announced."

Nurses to

contract
By SUE WARNER
Members of the University of
Michigan Professional Nurse Council
will meet tonight to discuss the
unresolved issues which are stalling
settlement of a new contract between
the nurses and the University.
"We have narrowed the field down to
key professional and economic issues,"
said Margo Barron, council chair-
woman. The council represents over 800
non-supervisory nurses at the Univer-
sity and is affiliated with the Michigan
Nurses Association.
T1lE NURSES' current contract was
originally set to expire last Dec. 31, but
was extended twice and is now set. to
expire Tuesday night.
"The negotiations are continuing and
we're making progress," said Univer-
sity negotiator John Forsyth. Forsyth
said negotiators for the two sides will
meet again Tuesday.
Both Barron and Forsyth refused to
comment on the specific unresolved
issues.

Local 21 at Sesser, Ill., ."He didn't give
you much of a choice ... either sign the
contract or the government will take
over the mines."
Administration officials said Carter
had been prepared to order miners
back to work under the Taft-Hartley
Act and also was ready to seek
congressional approval for federal
seizure of the mines.
Sources said yesterday this was the
primary threat used by Carter's trade
negotiator, Robert Strauss, and other
administration officials as they convin-
ced the BCOA's top leaders to accept
the pact.
NOW, officials said, that same type of
pressure will be turned on miners.
A UMW spokesman said the union
plans "some television, some

newspaper ads - mostly small town
stuff, no big blitz."
Sources said Labor Secretary Ray
Marshall and other top administration
officials also will publicly and
repeatedly urge miners to ratify the
pact.
12 "I'D GO BACK under the money
part," said Pressley Brandon of Ford
City, PA. "I would not sign it if there's a
clause in it regarding any fines or
penalties for guys who go out on wildcat
strikes."
Unhappy miners were the most,
vocal.
In West Frankfort, Ill., 2,000 of them
- about a fifth of the state's member-
ship - chorused "No," when asked
"Are we going to accept this contract?"

Uniontown, Pa., gave the contract a
"50-50 chance." John Secon, president
of Local 1412 said, "If it is anything like
the P and M contract, it will never
pass."
A dozen miners picketed UMW
headquarters in Washington yesterday
objecting to the pact.

2 TUESDAY: Tanner's LA SALAMANDRE

By KEITH RICHBURG
A deluge of new legislation will be
coming before the Ann Arbor City
Council in the next few weeks - the
human rights ordinance, the human
rights commission, and the second part
to the new pornography law, to name a
few.
An onslaught of concerned citizens
will probably be flocking to the Coun-
cil's Monday night meetings, but once
there they may find themselves con-
fronted with eleven strange beasts
known as the Mayor and Council, all
speaking to each other in foreign
tongues only they understand.

To guide the beginning Council-goer
through the colloquialisms and idioms
of that body known as City Council, The
Daily has prepared this newcomer's
glossary of the most oft-used terms:
SILLY SEASON (compliments of
Gerald Bell, R-Fifth Ward) - The
weeks just before an election during
which both sides accuse the other of
playing election year politics.
POLITICAL WHIPPING POST (Earl
Green, D-Second Ward) - An issue
brought before Council that would not
have been introduced had it not been an
election year. A red herring.

POLITICAL WHIPPING DOG

FOLDEROL (Compliments of Louis
Belcher, (R-Fifth Ward) adjectiv:
trivial, irrelevant. Noun-: an irrelevant
issue, a bill or amendment introduced
only for political reasons.
CANNON FODDER (genus Belcher)
- Noun; when used with folderol
denotes any irrelevant, purely political
issue. As in, "This is purely political
folderol cannon fodder put out by the
Democratic caucus!

Thol -4

By ANIDA ROSSMAN
Overcrowding in the law school
library prompted the university to un-
dertake - or perhaps it would be better
to say take under - construction of one
of the most innovative buildings on
campus.
Groundbreaking for a new $9 million
underground library took place earlier
this year, and the structure should be
finished by 1980.

The library, which has been planned
for three years, is being funded by
alumni donations and several large
foundation grants.
THE "L"-SHAPED building will be
three stories (60 feet deep), covering.
62,500 square feet. Parallel to Monroe
and Tappan Streets, it will connect to
the basement of the present law
library. An outside entrance will be
located on Tappan.
Because of the earth's insulating
characteristics, the underground struc-
ture will offer considerable energy
savings by cutting both heating and air-
conditioning costs.
Two skylights will supplement the
library's lighting. Some rooms will
have movable partitions so their size
can be altered.
DESPITE ALL the construction and
crawling, digging machines, particular
care is being taken not to destroy any of
the Law Quad's aesthetic qualities.
Stonework now carefully being
removed from the Quad will be saved
and reused in the new library to
recreate the original building's Gothic
appearance.

The new building will have a 200,000
volume capacity, which should
alleviate the cramped-conditions in the
present library. "We need at least that
much space," said Law Library Direc-
tor and University law professor
Beverley Pooley.
OTHER FEATURES will include ap-
proximately 300 carrels, microfilm
facilities, staff space, and offices -for
the Michigan Law Review and Journal
of Law Reform. An additional 15,000
square feet has been allocated as "raw
space" for future development.
Undergraduate students and law
students would be able to use the new
facilities. "We hope to be able to make
space to accommodate anyone with a
legitimate need for legal materials,"
Pooley said. "However, it will certainly
not be a study hall for the campus at
large."
In addition to the fuss about un-
derground features, planners have
provided for the overground ones. Ex-
tensive landscaping will be incor-
porated into the area where the parking
lot was, and marble slate walks will
traverse the area.
