Ron Renirie predicted that was
a "sign there's hope for an early
settlement.'
According to Renii e, Badoud
had been as-igieu to a previous
AATA-TEU contract d i s p u t e,
abont a year ago, and had walk-
ed out of negotiations after only
a few hours, protesting the two
sides were too far apart.

lflT11 TEU and AATA offi-
cials say they have received
very few complaints about the
strike from bus passengers.
Nancy Crumb, administrative
assistant to Karl Guenther,
AATA executive director said
AA'A has received "probably
20 calls altogether" in the two

days of the strike.
"The people haven't been
complaining about anything,"
she said. "They want us to set-
tle as soon as possible, but they
understand our hands are tied."
RENIRIE SAID TElU has also
received calls from passengers,
hnt, "there's been iso animosity
toward the drivers-
"One lady called and just
wanted to know when we'd be
able to take her grocery shop-
ping," he added.
Susan Kost, Huron Valley Na-
tional Bank personnel assistant
said none of the approximately
20 people who use a special e-
ploye bus pass offered by the
bank have complained about the
strike.
"I ThINK it's kind of a dis-
appointment that the employes
have to find their own way to
work," she commented. "It's an
inconvenience."
However, city cab drivers
have definitely noticed effects of
the walkout.
Walter Kyes, cab owner and
personnel manager at Yellow
Cab Co. estimates business has
increased 15-20 per cent since
the strike began, but added,
"There hasn't been any log
jams, it's not to the point where
we can't handle it."
"IT SEEMS that more people
are getting into their cars rather
than using an alternate form of
p u b lii c transportation," Kyes
continued. "The traffic jams
weie oatrageouis yesterday be-
tween three and six"
Union picketing at AATA
headquarters and the corner of
Fourth and William continued
yesterday and according to Re-
nirie, "the turnout was very
good"
He estimated beta-eon 12 and
25 picketers nalked at AATA
headquarters throughout the day
and about a dozen were station-
ed at Fourth and Willian.
"ThERE IIAS not been one
union person to cross the picket
line," Renirie stated.
Most of the striking union
members are bus drivers, but
nechanics and c I e r i c a 1 em-
ployes also belong to the TEU.
AATA's final offer Sunday
night included a three year wage
increase beginning with seven
per cent the first year.
However, according to Mc-
Carger the union found the of-
fer unacceptable because the
second and third year increases
woul donly be 4.33 and 4.98 per
cent respectively.

In a multimillion dollar civil
suit, the National Guard, the
individual guardsmen who fir-

A university spokesperson
said most of the demonstrators
would be charged with con-
tempt of court and released on
$25 bond. Some may also be
charged with resisting arrest.
A defense fund for the bond
money has been collected over
the past months.
While those arrested were
processed, sheriff deputies re-

there would be with the in-
creasing ages of students,"
Butts said.
Students must be classified
either financially , self-support-'
ing or nonself - supporting -
dependent on parents - before
they can participate in federal-
ly funded financial aid pro-
grams. if students are classi-
fied dependent they must prove
their family income is not suf-
ficient to meet their education-
al needs.
According to Butts, the pro-
posed guidelines alter two of
three requirements necessary
to be declared self - support-
ing.
THE FIRST IS the student
must not have been claimed as
a dependent on his parents tax
return two years prior to the
academic year. The present re-
quirements says only one year
prior to the academic year.
One of the loop holes used to
get around the one year re-
quirement is to have the par-
ents file an amended income
tax return deleting the depen-
dent student.
Butts said the University's
financial aid office is very con-
scientious but it is difficult to
verify all student claims about
parent's tax returns.
TUE SECOND revision is the
student must not have lived
with parents for six consecu-
tive weeks, one year prior to
the academic year. The cur-
rent regulations allows student
only two weeks with parents in
the same time period.
"The additional weeks is to
allow for some unusual circam-
stance like a veteran returning
home for a few weeks before
going off to college," Butts
said.
The t h i r d requirement
which says the student mast
not have received over S6
support from parents one year
prior to the academic year, will
remain the same
BUTTS SAID he sees no ma-
jor problem with the proposed
devisions.
