The mediator, Thomas Ba- doud, was assigned to aid in the AATA-TEU negotiations by the Michigan Employment Relations Commission BADOUD remined in nego tian all day. Union spokesperson 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. AATA service remained com- pletely shut down yesterday ex cept fior one specially equipped hus for the hlaidicapped, lflT11 TEU and AATA offi- cials say they have received very few complaints about the strike from bus passengers.

"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- ed the shots, Rhodes and the University were cleared of lia- bility in 1975. That case is un- der appeal inthe U. S. 6th Cir- cuit Court of' Appeals in Cin- cinnati. 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- moved tents and demonstrators' possessions from the site and placed them on a flatbed Styling like you wouldn't believe.

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. "As an interim proposat is the face of limited funds t am not troubled by it," Butts said He added, the proposal will not go into effect until a 30- day period has passed i 5Ich the government accepts nt ments on the revisits l e government will revew ' conmsents and csan e visiins accorditgl .BUTTS SAID thr, a n will only be interini tians and will probably last t e et He said the reasun fwr thu i- terim regulations is the chsne iog University demgraphic "Some very cotputlt i-,; tions have to be resolsed is the future.
