OCITIZEN Citizen Watch Co., Ltd Tokyo, Japan Y (Nik) or (Nike') N rS IME QUESTION By JULIE BROWN Ann Arbor's public school teachers continued their strike yesterday, with no immediate settlement in sight. Members of the Ann Arbor Education Association proposed to the city's school board yesterday afternoon that the dispute be settled by binding ar- bitration. Teachers' association members voted by a 4-1 margain Tuesday to remain off the job, primarily for higher wages. Classes were to begin Wed- nesday, with teachers reporting for work Tuesday. Ann Arbor Superintendent of Schools Harry Howard said at a press con- ference early yesterday evening, "I don't anticipate any change in the position. We stand ready to negotiate at- any hour of the day or night, over the weekend, to resolve this issue." ACCORDING TO AAEA President Richard Taylor, negotiations between the teachers' association and the school board ended at approximately 6:40 p.m. yesterday, with no negotiations scheduled for today. Both sides met yesterday with a mediator from the Michigan Employment Relations Commission. The school board has offered the teachers a proposed salary schedule which would include raises varying from 9 to 15.2 per cent, based on length of teaching and academic degrees. The board and the teachers' association disagree on whether annual incremen- tal increases-granted as teachers ac- cumulate teaching experience in the district-should be included in salary schedule figures. Other issues divide the school board and the teachers' association, including elementary school classroom size, layoff procedures, assignment of homerooms to intermediate school teachers, racial composition of the staff, and teacher transfers. At 11:35 a.m. yesterday, AAEA proposed to the school board that agreement be made on several non- salary issues - racial composition,' class size, and involuntary teacher transfer. The board responded verbally at approximately 1 p.m. that they were in agreement on those issues, but said salary negotiations must continue. IN THE AFTERNOON, AAEA proposed that no salary would be negotiated at the school board's level. AAEA later submitted a proposal that all unresolved issues be submitted to binding arbitration. Teachers would return to work on Monday, provided that the following conditions, among others, be met: *no retribution would be made again- st AAEA members; ethe arbitration panel will be selected in accordance with procedures established by the American Ar- bitration Association; efive persons shall represent each side; -both parties agree to be bound by arbitration; earbitration fees shall be shared equally by the parties; and, eall arbitration hearings shall be closed to the public. , Howard said binding arbitration is not desirable at this time. He noted that 94 per cent of the school system's budget comes from local taxes, and said arbitration by an outside party would deny taxpayers representation by elected officials. "I'd like to reaffirm again that they (the school board) are elected to those positions by the people," he said. According to Taylor, the board had not indicated any answer to the proposal last night at 8 p.m. "If they would propose to continue negotiations, we certainly would," he said.

AFTER ALL, WOULDN'T YOU RATHER BE IN OUR SHOES? summit date has l From the Associated Press Authoritative Egyptian sources said yesterday a U.S.-Israeli-Egyptian summit meeting will be held in Washington Nov. 20, but the White House and the State Department denied a date had been set. The summit proposal emerged during U.S. envoy Sol Linowitz' suc- cessful Mideast mission to break up a deadlock on Palestinian autonomy talks. All three parties have expressed interest in holding the summit, but the United States insists a date has not been set. LINOWITZ, RETURNING to Washington, said "there is a reason for hope" in the upcoming autonomy talks and that both Israel and Egypt had made a commitment to the Camp David peace accords. The Egyptian sources, who declined to be identified said the United States proposed the three leaders get together 16 days after the election to try to con- clude th~e deadlocked negotiations on a plan for autonomy for the 1.2 million Palestinians in territories Israel cap- tured in the 1967 war. The sources said Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat agreed to the date. In Washington, President Carter's press secretary Jody Powell said "no date has been set" for a Mideast sum- mit, and he was not aware of any dates being discussed. ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER Menachem Begin, who is to be in the United States on a private visit shortly after the U.S. presidential elections, has accepted an invitation from President Carter to private talks at that time. State Department spokesman John Trattner told reporters, "I think you should separate the private visit in your minds from the summit... 'A date for a summit, as far as I understand it, has not been set." Linowitz' Mideast mission had been regarded as a nearly hopeless attempt to restart autonomy negotiations that Sadat had broken off a month before to protest Israel's new Jerusalem law. In a surprise announcement Wed- nesday the U.S. envoy said Israel and Egypt had agreed to resume the talks within a few weeks and to hold a sum- mit meeting with Carter after the U.S. election. The suspension came after the Israeli parliament adopted a controversial law declaring unified Jerusalem the eternal' capital of the Jewish state. Sadat com-d plained that the law blocked his plans, for Israeli-Egyptian negotiations even- tually on the future of predominantly Arab East Jerusalem, which Israel an- nexed after capturing it from Jordan in, the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. Linowitz, in a brief news conference at Andrews Air Force Base, said the Egyptian and Israel leaders have made, a new commitment for peace. Asked when the negotiations would, take place, Linowitz replied that it would be before the end of the year, but, he gave no specific date.
