DAILY Council dispute endangers Blues and Jazz Festival Tuesday, May 11, 1976 Elsman plans to file suit against Austin By MIKE NORTON It was apparent at last night's City Council meeting that plans for this year's Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival are rapidly foundering in a sea of partisan disputes over a site for the August event. The disagreement first sur- faced last Monday when the Re- publican-dominated C o u n ci Il voted down a resolution by mem- ber Jamie Kenworthy (D-4th Ward) proposing Gallup Park as a location for the festival. Mayor Pro Tem Robert Henry (R-3rd Ward) called the Gallup SHORT or LONG HAIRSTYLES TO PLEASE DASCOLA STYLISTS ARBORLAND-971 -9975 E. LIBERTY-668-9329 E. UNIVERSITY-662-0354 site "completely and totally un- acceptable." HENRY ADDED that the Re- publicans would consider other sites for the event, but although several other locations have been discussed, there has been no agreement between Council and the promoter, Paul An- drews. A committee appointed by the mayor to look into alternate lo- cations met last Friday with Andrews to discuss using either Marshall Park, at Plymouth Road and D i x b o r o, or the Knights of Columbus grounds on Dexter Road. Both sites are out- side the Ann Arbor city limits. "What they're saying," said Kenworthy, "is that they don't have anything against a blues and jazz festival, but they just don't want it in Ann Arbor." THE REPUBLICANS cite the relative newness of Gallup Park and the danger of vandalism among their reasons for oppos- ing the site, adding that the park seems "too small" for the 12-15,00 people expected to at- tend the' festival. Republican Jerry Bell (5th Ward), a self-proclaimed jazz enthusiast, said he'd "like to see it happen," but a more typ- ical statement of the Republican stand was made by Roger Ber- toia (R-3rd Ward), who said he was upset about the possibility of "people in tents encroaching on the local neighborhoods." According to Council members of both parties, several parties, including the University, were approached concerning the use of land fur the festival. "The University told us flat out: No way," said Bell. (Continued from Page 1) Millender refused to reveal how much money had been col- lected from the fee branch man- agers. According to Deamud, "may- be half of the 90 office man- agers contributed from $100 to $600 apiece," to the Austin campaign. "I myself and a few others contributed $1000 but my office is one of the larger ones." Deamud said the managers had contributed not because they were forced to, but be- cause, "Mr. Austin has been good to us." Elsman said he first learned with non politically appointed that the employes were possib- ly being pressured for contribu- tions when he talked to Wald Lake Secretary of State branch manager Bob Wiseman. "Wise- .man .told my secretary 'if I didn't contribute (to the cam- paign) I would lose my badge.' " However when the Daily con- tacted Wiseman, he denied ever having made that statement say- ing, "I never told Elsman I was under any pressure to con- tribute." Deputy Secretary of State Nor- man Berkowitz said that the patronage offices were gradually being phased out and replaced civil service employes.

Morrow, informing him that his employment had been terminated. The letter cited incidents oc- curring in February where, it stated, Foster's conduct was in violation with regulations. But according to Foster, "They can take anything (he had done), put it in a paragraph and make it look bad." FOSTER contends that the real reason for his dismissal stems from his complaints about working conditions. "Many workers have been at- tending meetings, and staying with upset patients while miss- ing lunch, without legally receiv- ing overtime compensations," he said. "We're short staffed and work a lot of extra time and they Paid Advertisement A checklist to help you i your job search (supervisors) give us " reasons like 'we're trying to keep this thing (the clinic) running ,here and save your jobs'," Foster explained. ACCORDING to Joel Block, president of AFSCME Local 1583, "the central issue is the disagreeing with doctors about the handling of patients. Foster had been there longer than most of the doctors." Douglas Geister, the hospital's staff and union relations man- ager, refused to comment on the situation, saying only that "the problems raised by AFSCME are being handled by the pro- cedure in the contract. We hope that any additional problems will be processed the same way." A meeting has tentatively been called for tomorrow by Local 1583 to decide its next move. But, said Block, "If the University moves positively we won't have to call it." Pay . . . We particularly invite comparisots w i t h o u r p a y package. Advancement . . .
