examination, Jamison went to the TU
office in June, where a former TU
office manager offered to create for
him a fake escrow account. Jamison
was told to authorize disbursal of the
$1,400 through the Feminist Federal
Credit Union (FFCU), which held the
TU's general escrow fund.
Olmstead said he concluded that
the manager forged the name of
another TU official on Jamison's
account, for which the FFCU gave
Jamison a check.
Then, Jamison cashed the check,
giving the manager a $1,200 kickback
and keeping $200 for himself, accord-
ing to Olmstead's testimony.
FREE ON personal, recognizance
bond, Jamison failed to appear at a
pre-trial hearing last month and is
being sought on a bench warrant.
Greiner said financial manage-
ment of the TU "isn't different from
that of other volunteer organiza-
tions," in that many workers have
been exposed to financial records.
She said the organization needs one
full-time paid administrator solely
responsible for finances to avoid the
possibility of future theft.
"We've never had one consistent
person over a long period of -time to
handle records, but we've been doing
it this way since 1968 with never a
problem and no reason to suspect
anyone," she said. She added that
she hopes the TU will obtain enough
public funding in the future to hire a
full-time administrator.
THE TU kept information on the
investigation from the public be-
cause of police advice that such
disclosure could hurt the investiga-
tion.
Although angered by the situation,
tenants whose escrow money is tied
up because of the theft seem sympa-
thetic with the TU.
"I've got $900 that right now cannot
be returned," said Jay Walker, a
University employe whose escrow
money is frozen in the account. "I'm
frustrated by it, but I don't see it as a
problem with the current volunteer
staff - it's a problem that has
occurred because of an individual in
the past," he added.
ENGINEERING undergraduate
John Walter, whose escrow money is
also frozen in the iaccount, said he
"will definitely" get his money back.
"I'n not happy that the situation has
come up, but I feel that the TU's con-
tribution to the community is more
important than the money," he said.
The TU was established a decade
ago as a volunteer organization to
help city tenants with a range of their
housing problems. The union gained
much public attention in 1969 when it
organized a city-wide 'ent strike,
which led to a substantial improve-
ment in maintenance of rental hous-
ing and brought rent reductions to
many tenants in the city.
"It is just atrocious that the only
100 per cent tenant advocacy union in
town should be broken up because 6f
a couple of amoral people," Greiner
commented.
TU member Nelson Galante said if
the TU had a dollar for every tenant
it has helped, "we'd have $20,000 to
spare."

Israelis' regret,

that the stalled Geneva peace talks
resume.
"I don't care about the procedural
aspects," Sadat said. "Israel would be
astonished when they hear me say this,
but I say it: I am ready to even go to
their home, to their Knesset (the Israeli
parliament) and discuss peace with
them if need be."
REAC'IING to Sadat's speech, Begin
said: "If these are not mere words, we
welcome' this readiness," and pointed
out when he took office earlier this
year, "I stated that I would be prepared
to meet the -president, of Egypt
anywhere, even in Cairo, in order to
negotiate the establishment of a true
peace in the Middle East."
But Begin said Israel "categorically
and absolutely rejects" Sadat's two
major peace terms, Israeli evacuation
of Arab territories occupied in 1967 and
the purported "right" of the
Palestinians to establish their
homeland.
"These terms, it is known, would con-
stitute a danger to the very existence of
the state of Israel," Begin said.
SECRETARY of State Cyrus Vance
said last night it would be tragic if dif-
ferences over procedures thwart the
opening of a Geneva peace conference
on the Middle East.
Speaking to a Jewish group in Dallas,
Tex., Vance said all parties-the Arabs
and Israel-"are really quite close in
their essential desire to begin
negotiations."
Only at a peace conference, he said,
can the two sides confront the issue of
the Palestinians' future and other basic
problems.
"THE PITFALLS are many and the
effort may fail," Vance said in remarks
prepared fordelivery at the Council of
Jewish Federations and Welfare Fund.
"But we must not fail to try."
