The beat goes on
Were you wondering why we can still publish
the Daily even though our printers belong to the
striking AFSCME union? Bet you thought you'd
caught us contradicting ourselves - supporting
the strike on our Editorial page, but using scab
labor to put out a paper. Well never fear -
the Daily is still the bastion of liberalism you
always thought it was. We aren't using scabs, it's
just that in the interest of keeping students in-
formed, AFSCME has asked our printers to stay
on the job. Hope that answers all your questions.
Happenings...

The great cover-up
You can't judge a book by its cover, the old
adage goes, and no one knows it better than An-
drew McNair of Hartford, Connecticut. It seems
McNair went out the other day and picked up
Alex Haley's "Roots." However, upon settling back
to read it, McNair sensed that something was
not quite right. About ten pages into the book,
it dawned on McNair that he wasn't following the
heroic struggle of Kunta Kinte but rather the graci-
ous, Old South existence of Scarlet O'Hara, Rhett
Butler, Mammy and the rest of the "Gone with
the Wind" gang. Bamboozled representatives of
Doubleday company, which publishes both books,
theorize that the "Roots" bookcover found its way
onto a copy of "Gone with the Wind" by way of
a mix-up at the printing plant. Pass the grits.
Keep the faith
Of all the things car salesmen have been ac-
cused of, under-confidence is-not a trait that readi-
ly comes to mind. But according to Detroiter Joe
Girad, that is the largest obstacle any huckster

ber one car salesman in the world, by authority

you have to sell in " your life is yourself," Joe

it there because I'm 'the greatest person. There's

AFSCIME
team
to
make
original
contract demands
By BOB ROSENBAUM
When representatives of the American Federation of State,
County, and Municipal Employes (AFSCME, Local -183) sit down
with the University at the bargaining table today, they will be
offering essentially the same economic proposals they offered
when they first sat down last November.
Although Chief University negotiator William Neff would not
comment on the union's proposals last night, several months ago
he had called them "unreasonable."
AFSCME BARGAINING TEAM members will demand that
the University "take the cap off the cost of living" and offer
"a $1.04 (per hour) wage increase over 23 months" ending Sep-
tember 30, 1979.
The union also demands that no holidays be taken away from

FACULTY SENATE TO REVIEW PLAN:

By BRIAN BLANCHARD
and PATTY MONTEMURRI
The Department of Popula-
tion Planning (DPP) in the
School of Public Health will get
a one month reprieve, the Fac-
ulty Senate was told yesterday.
Associate Vice-President for
Academic Affairs Carolyne Da-
vis told 45 Senate members at a
special meeting that the contro-
versial plan to drop DPP would
go to the Regents at their April
meeting, rather than in March
as originally scheduled.
"WE DON'T NEED to rush
the process," she said, adding
that the extra month will allow
further review of the recommen-
dation to eliminate the depart-
ment.
Davis outlined the third draft
of new University policies on
elimination of programs. She
said these guidelines could see
service as often as twice a year
because of the University's bud-
get crisis.

approved by the Regents Feb-

A COMPUTERIZED random

BULLETIN
LONDON - Uganda's Presi-
dent Idi Amin has declared
that American residents are
free to go anywhere they like,
inside or outside Uganda, Ra-
dio Kampala reported today.
By AP and Reuter
Ugandan President Idi Amin
has postponed a meeting set for
tomorrow with some 240 Ameri-
cans, Radio Uganda said last
night.
THE BROADCAST from Kam-
pala said another date for the
meeting would be announced
later but gave no further de-
tails.
After the broadcast, the U.S.
State Department withdrew
plans to have top American
diplomat Talcott Seelye attend
the Entebbe meeting, depart-
ment sources said.
Secretary of State Cyrus
Vance called for an explanation
from Ugandan Charge d'Af-
faires Paul Cherubet, of Amin's
decision.
VANCE TOLD reporters he
had no idea what lay behind the
latest Ugandan radio announce-
ment: "I just don't know," he
said.
Vance said he expected Cher-
ubet to call at the State De-
partment later last night but
did not expect to see him per-

Even though Davis explained
she didn't "expect a total fac-
ulty . . .,to determine the posi-
tion the group (faculty) would
take" in reviewing programs for
termination, Robert Weeks, a
humanities professor, asserted
that "people in this room are
quite willing to sift through
reams of data" to evaluate pro-
grams. "The faculty wants to be
meaningfully involved," he said.

The six proposals to be of-
fered today are taken from dis-
cussions held between picket
captains and union members
since the AFSCME walkout be-
gan last Wednesday.
"THAT'S WHAT people are
talking about," Union Local
President Joel Block said last
night. He said he was "sure
there will be more, demands"
submitted to the union bargain-
ing team by membership.
On February 16, the' Univer-
sity and AFSCME reached a
tentative contract ;agreement
which called for a 55-cent per
hour wage raise over a two-year
period, and no cost of living al-
lowance. The proposed contract
was overwhelmingly rejected by
union members.
Block confirmed that he will
be present at negotiations to-
day, "to show that I'm with
the bargaining team and see the
University's attitude at the ta-
ble."
Union members had request-
ed that Block join the other
bargainers when talks resumed,

Waldo owes the University
nearly $260 for his February
room and board fees. He wrote
up a check for the amount, by-
passed the Student Accounts of-
fice, and took the money to the
Ann Arbor Tenants Union. Wal-
do has joined the dormitory rent
strike.
It's simple: The Accounts of-
fice 'won't see his cash until the
cafeteria food is fresh again, the
bathrooms are sanitary again
and the sidewalks are cleared
again. And that won't be very
likely to occur until campus ser-
vice personnel go back to work.
"IT'S ALL LEGAL," rent

Students opt
to withhold
strike organizer and Alice Lloyd
resident Bob Miller assures stu-
dents. "It is our right as resi-
dents to withhold rent if our
landlord (the University) is neg-
ligent in providing services."
Sofar, about 97 students have
taken advantage of their
"rights," signing up for the rent
strike and handing their money
- about $23,600 worth - over
to the Tenants Union (TU) for
safekeeping.
TU has offered to take stu-
dent rent paymerts and hold
them in escrow while the strike
by 'campus service workers is
on. After the University and
AFSCME settle their differenc-
es, TU will release the funds
and University bills will be paid.
The students and the TU as-
sume that as long as the Uni-
versity is informed that a stu-
dent is participating in the rent
strike, no penalty will be levied.
Under normal. circumstances,
any bills paid after the due date
are given a five dollar sur-
charge until the following
month's bill comes due.
WHILE ANN ARBOR'S TU is
accu stomed to organizing rent
Strikes,the idea Isa new one
for University dorm residents.
By withholding their rent, /stu-
dents who support AFSCME
hope to out financial pressure
on the University to meet the
demands of the striking service
workers and have services re-
stored as quickly as possible.

The Ugandan announcement
monitored in Washington ap-
parently took the State Dep art-
ment by surprise.
EARLIER IN THE day, the
Kampala radio said Amin told
a small group of Americans at
Entebbe they were "brothers
and sisters" to Ugandans and
he intended to honor them and
all other Americans in the coun-
try at the mass meeting tomor-
row.
The Narobi newspaper Daily
Nation, however, reported that
armed plainclothesmen have
been following the Americans
day and night.1
In Washington, President
Carter sent a message to Amin
thanking him for his assur-
ances that the lives of U. S.
citizens in Uganda were not in
danger. A White House spokes-
man said the message was sent
through the West German Em-
bassy, which represents the
United States in Uganda.
IN ITS earlier broadcasts, ra-
dio Kampala quoted Amin as
saying President Carter "was
still new and young in office"
and not quite familiar with Af-
rican affairs. It said .Amin had
told a Saudi Arabian diplomat
that Carter should have studied
the situation carefully and
found out "the true facts" be-
fore making any public com-
ments.
At the same time, Amin was
said to have told,the Saudi
charge that the Americans in
Uganda were secure and well
and that Amin "has no problem
at all" with them.
A government source in Kam-
pala, Uganda's capital, said
more than 800 dancers and 1,000
chieftains and officials were to
have been at Entebbe tomorrow
to entertain and honor the
Americans.

Love says we must
choose a new future
By JULIE ROVNER
"I believe that a set of images of the future has been painted
in our minds; and that certain things are happening right now,
such as the energy crisis, that are causing those images to break
down, and leaving us with just a vacuum," Sam Love told a crowd
of over 150 at the Rackham Amphitheatre last night.
Writer and environmental activist Love's slide presentation
and lecture, entitled "Remember Tomorrow," was part of the Fu-
ture Worlds lecture series.

LOVE'S WIDE-RANGING talk touched on topics, from solar

Love said Americans. have a view of the future that doesn't
coincide with reality anymore. He noted how energy-intensive
many former views of the future have been. "It's an image many
of the national publications have projected. It may be that this
future that we've projected for ourselves will have to be totally
re-evaluated (because of the energy crisis)," he said.
Love stressed the role that advertising by major corporations
during World War II played in building American's views of the
future. Since the major industries were so busy producing arms,
they could only offer consumers promisest of things to come, rath-
