Workers likely to end strike today

By BOB ROSENBAUM
Striking campus service workers, by all indi-
cations, will accept the terms of a newly-reach-
ed tentative contract settlement with the Uni-
versity at their ratification meeting this afer-
noon.
If rank-and-file members of he American Fed-
eration of State, County and Municipal Em-
ployes (AFSCME, Local 1583) ratify the agree-
ment, they will return to their jobs, admittedly a
lot less affluent than they had planned.
THE 2,300 FOOD service, hospital, maintenance
and grounds workers will have only realized five
cents an hour more than the wages they rejected
last month befope embarking on a 26-day strike,
"We're not really very happy about it," AFS-
UNCC

CME, Council 11 President Walt Oliver admitted
moments after the two sides reached agreement
in the early hours of Saturday morning. But Oliver
added, the union had no choice but to accept the
University's terms.
He said later that he had no doubts that the
University's final offer was "absolutely the best"
AFSCME could get.
"WE'RE QUITE SURE they're going to ratify
it," said Don McClure, a representative for Local
1583's international parent union yesterday.
The agreement calls for a 60 cent per hour
wage hike over 24 months, with a 30 cent increase
effective March 20 and an identical increase as of
March 20, 1978. The contract is set to expire on
the same date in 1979.
shocks

Also provided for each employe is a $125 pay-
ment, retroactive to January 1, 1977, covering the
period union members went without a contract.
THE THIRD ESSENTIAL addition to the settle-
ment is a crucial "no reprisal" clause, which lim-
its the number of returning strikers who can be
disciplined or discharged by the University.
The_ clause gives the administration the right to
discipline certain people, particularly those found
guilty of criminal offenses associated with the
walkout. At the same time, AFSCME has the
right to challenge any disciplinary actions through
arbitration.
The University agreed to pay the union's $86,000
Blue Cross insurance bill for March, normally
taken care of through deductions from worker
Blue,

paychecks and University contributions:

ADMINISTRATOS WILL also make several
changes in work shifts during the Christmas/New
Year's holiday period.
All other items in the contract remained as
they were When AFSCME workers overwhelming-
ly rejected an initial tentative agreement on Feb.
22. At that time, the wage increase proposed was
for 55 cents per hour over two years.
Unlike the first ratification vote, however,
where the union bargaining team and other lead-
ers split over whether the contract should have
been accepted, this afternoon's vote is more care-
fully organized.

Council
to decide
carport
funding.
By ANNE GERTISER
The controversial special as-
sessments plan for the funding
of a $1.7 million carport and
parking lot repair will come to a
vote at City Council tomorrow.
But even if passed, Mayor Al-
bert Wheeler says hewill veto
the, three agenda items neces-
sary to. its implementation.
The plan calls for property
owners in a defined. special as-
sessment district to assume 60
per cent of the cost while car-
port users would pay the rest in
increased parking rates.

COUNCILMAN Jamie Ken-
worthy (D-Fourth Ward), al-
though an original proponent of
the plan, says it is no longer
relevant:
"Downtown merchants had
agreed to pay 60 per cent of the
cost, but only because they
would get additional parking to
accommodate shoppers. We
agreed to give them something
if they gave us something in re-
turn. We've just withdrawn our

Upsetloss prevents
Blue from capturing
first NCAA cage title
By SCOTT LEWIS
Special to The Daily
LEXINGTON-All the indicators pointed to a typi-
cal Michigan comeback yesterday, but the University
of North Carolina-Charlotte. (UNCC) wasn't just any
typical opponent.
After blazing back from a 13-point halftime deficit
and taking a 49-48 lead, the first-ranked Wolverines
seemed to have enough -momentum to' carry them to
an NCAA semifinal berth in Atlanta.
INSTEAD, WITH STILL twelve minutes and eleven
seconds left, the mf an Mean Green once again started
to roar, and pullen away to a 75-68 victory enabling
them to meet Marquette in the NCAA semifinals next
Saturday.
As for Michigan, its title aspirations came to an abrupt
halt.
"We are disappointed we lost, and we have no excuses,"
said an obviously dejected Orr after the game. ,"I wish North
Carolina-Charlotte the best of luck. That's a fine team and they
definitely have a chance to win it all."

STUDENT TURNOUT KEY TO RACE:

Three vie

By EILEEN DALEY
and BARBARA ZAHS
Student voter turnout is ex-
pected to be the key to victory
in the April 4 Second Ward City
Council race as three candidates
vie for the seat being vacated
by Democrat Carol Jones.
Libertarian James Green-
shields, Democrat Leslie Morris

and Republican Allen. Reiner
wi.l square off in that race.
,HEAVY student voter turnout
in the election is expected to
aid the Democrat and Libertar-
ian candidates, while hurting
Renublican hopeful Reiner.
The Second Ward's 11 pre-
cincts include all of North Cam-

in Ward
pus and the portion of Central
Campus east of State St. and
north of Hill. This includes all
of ,the University's dormitories
except South Quad, West Quad,

Since 1971, Democratic and
Socialist Human Rights Party
(SHRP) members have con-

WHILE the candidates recog-
nize the significance of the stu-
dent vote, they refuse to confine
their campaign efforts to that

particular segment of the ward's
electorate.
"I can't sacrifice one group
for the sake of another," Reiner
said.
He added that he is expecting
a small turnout of 1800-2000 vot-
ers but would like to see 'a hell
of a lot more" people at the'
polls
Libertarian candidate Green-
shields said, although he would
focus his campaign efforts on
student voters, "I'm not going

Huggins

By GREGG KRUPA
"This country- functions
through fear and intimidation,"
Black Panther member Erica
Huggins told a receptive crowd
of 60 people at Mendelssohn
Theater last night.
"It functions by having people
believe that what Jimmy Car-
ter says is right; it functions
by forcing us to believe that peo-
ple who want to be free are to
be equated with the devil," she
said.
HUGGINS, a member of the
Alameda (Calif.) Board of Edu-
cation and organizer of the Oak-
land Community Learning Cen-
ter, spoke as part of the third
and final night of the Ann Arbor
Teach-In on Prisons, sponsored
by the Inmate Project.
She slammed the American
prison system and talked about
the current activities of the
Black Panther party.
"I can never forget my own
experience in prison," Huggins,
who spent two years in a Con-
necticut prison, said. "There is
no way to leave that sort of
thing behind. The women there
showed me a side of life that is
an indictment of the American
system."
HUGGINS SAID that most of
the peonle she came into con-
tact with were people unable to
cone with American society. She
told of vrostitutes and heroin ad-
dicts who returned to prison
three and four times a week, of
a woman who went' insane be-
cause she could no longer cope
with simporting eight children on
her welfare check, and of prison
giards who brutally treated the
inmates.
She accused Alameda County

By PHILLIP BOKOVOY
If the April 4 mayoral election were to be de-
cided solely by the candidates' expected cam-
paign contributions, Republican Fifth Ward Coun-
cilman Louis Belcher would trounce Mayor Al-
bert Wheeler from Dexter to Ypsilanti,
But though it is often true that more money
means more votes, Wheeler hopes to overcome
the difference between the $12,000 he expects to
take in and Belcher's anticipated $24,000 in much
the same way he did in 1975. In that election, in-
cumbent Mayor James Stephenson outspent
Wheeler $27 000 to $11,000.
WHEELER, who concedes that Belcher's "big

HRP candidate Diana Slaughter had collected
$41.87, and is not soliciting contributions. She
has spent no money so far' in the race.
SINCE MARCH 10, Wheeler has seen his early
lead in contributions dwindle away. Wheeler's
treasurer, Michael Broughton, said the mayor has
collected a lot of money since then but has spent
a great deal as well. Broughton says the current
total is .about $6,500.
Belcher says his campaign coffers now hold
about $8,000 and he expects to collect $7,000 more
by March 28.
The biggest 'chunk of Belcher's money will go
for newspaper ads - about $8,200. Other big
