2-Friday, November 11, 1977-The Michigan Daily renans Union ritsc loses escrowcou e' (Continued from Page U 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." di U D I Israelis' regret, high bomb fatalities (Continued from Page 1) 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." i3.
