Page 3 I i Regents don't react to Bullard GEO letter By JOYCE FRIEDEN Despite the efforts of State Rep. Perry Bullard (D-Ann Arbor), the University Regents do not appear to have changed their position on the rights of the Graduate Employees Union to bargain collectively for a con- tract. ON Aug. 8, Bullard wrote a letter to the Regents, asking them to reconsider their appeal of a recent court ruling declaring that graduate teaching assistants are employees as opposed to students and are therefore covered by the Public Employment Relations Act, which entitles them to collective bargaining. THE DECISION was the second such ruling by Michigan Employment, Relations Commission Administrative Law Judge Shlomo Sperka. The first set of pro-GEO findings was appealed by the Regents in late 1977. Bullard's letter said, "One is forced to conclude that the University is sim- ply delaying, in an attempt to break the resolve of the GEO, and to avoid dealing with its Graduate Students Assistants in a collective bargaining position." Because the Regents were in recess last month there is no evidence that Bullard's letter has had any effect on the University's stance in the case. UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT Harold Shapiro said yesterday, "The Univer- sity's official position on the matter has not changed." "I don't know of any effect on the University's position that Mr. Bullard's letter has produced," said GEO president Dave Kadlecek. He added that due to a bureaucratic mixup, his office did not receive a copy of Mr. Bullard's letter. According to Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Arbor), the case is still on ap- peal by the University. But he added that "the position is still somewhat un- clear because of the (Regents') August recess." "Thebasic issue here is whether GEO members are students or em- ployees," Baker explained. "The University maintains they are em- ployees because of the type of relation- ship that exists between the professor and the teaching fellow." Baker added that cases similar to GEO's are appearing at other univer- sities as well and are being tried in both federal and state courts. "This issue should be 'field tested' and that's what it's going through here," he said. Although Shapiro emphasized that "everyone's allowed to communicate with the Regents," he did not comment on what effect Bullard's letter might have on any future action. According to Kadlecek, GEOplans to discuss the contract issue at its up- coming Tuesday meeting. As of last year, the organization had nearly 200 dues-paying members, he said. f. } y}+{.r ..,t +., "{ "}:{.::""{":t .;.:x:r ..t{ ..v:. .':. ...r.."{"i::v: -X"}:-::?'?:}i:"::"C:""::"Y"}YIv'":'k"}::}:{v$1!:...

Bullard ... supports GE CITY STRIKE CONTINUES: we style Hair... Teachers nix board offer By JULIE BROWN Negotiators for the Ann Arbor Education Association yesterday rejected the most recent school board contract of- fer, as the city's twelve-day old school strike continued. The school board offer-made at approximately 1 a.m. Friday-marked the culmination of a marathon negotiation session, which began Wednesday morning and continued, ex- cept for meal breaks, for nearly 40 hours, ending at ap- proximately 1:30 a.m. Friday. ACCORDING TO Board of Education President Wendy Barhydt, the school board's offer is for a one-year contract, and makes several concessions to the teachers' association. The board has dropped two issues-assessment of teacher qualifications in determining layoff procedures and assign- ment of homerooms to intermediate school teachers-that have prolonged the strike, Barhydt said. The school board has also agreed to the salary distribution sought by the teachers' association, provided that it is limited to the $3.1 million level the board has indicated as the maximum it will budget for salary increases, Barhydt added. Under the offer, teachers would be able to make up with pay all but two of the missed school days, and students would receive the required 180 days of classes, she said. The board insisted, however, that school must start tomorrow. Although the teachers' association agrees with certain aspects of the new proposal, there are still reasons for its rejection, according to a statement released yesterday mor- ning. *the school board wants the teachers' association to accept the entire responsibility for the dispute and is punishing teachers financiallywith the fine on two make-up days. *one teacher day is to be made up by some sort of unspecified workshop or in-service day. *the proposed school calendar is "educationally unsound," because it requires student attendance on the Friday after Thanksgiving and for two days during the traditional Christmas vacation. The teachers' association prefers to ex- tend the student school calendar to June 19, 1981. Negotiations are scheduled to continue at 3 p.m. today, association spokesman Dan Burroughs said.

Her spirits weren't dampened by yester- day's wet skies. _ r Students, of ficals report ,1o passingu at ame (con nued from Pagel ) ha~sn h nrl d~ avn "h rnincT WASHINGTON (AP)-Billy Carter was driven to the Libyan Embassy in a White House car nine days before he received his first payment from the Libyan government, White House records show. The president's brother was accom- panied by a business associate, Henry "Randy" Coleman of Plains, Ga. Ac- cording to Ray Jenkins of the White House press office, the reservation for use of the car was made by the White House usher's office.' Jenkins said the records show a White House car was used on Dec. 18, 1979, to take Carter and Coleman to the embassy. On Dec. 27, Coleman has testified, he went to the embassy at Carter's request to pick up a $20,000 check made out to the president's brother. NEITHER CARTER nor Coleman mentioned the Dec. 18 visit to the em- bassy in their testimony before a special Senate subcommittee looking into relationships between the president's brother and the government of Libya. Coleman did testify, however, that when he and Billy Carter stayed at the White House they were offered the use of White House cars, accepted the of- fers and were driven to places in Washington including the Libyan em- bassy. Carter and Coleman could not be reached for comment. Carter's lawyer, Henry Ruth, referred an inquiring reporter to Carter's testimony, which does not mention the incident. Jenkins said records of the White House military office did not indicate that Carter and Coleman used a White House car during April, 1980, when Coleman picked up a second check, for $200,000, made out,to Carter, from the embassy. F prganization was not the only deterrant. "I don't consider it conclusive," he * aid. "It was a close game, and it was ad weather." The law student explained that because of the rain fewer people than usual attended the game. "You need a big crowd to pass up," he said. Calhoun Also pointed out that people pay more attention to the football field than the stands when the game is as close as yesterday's was. Lund agreed that the weather might nave neipea prevent the practice. -It was not a very conducive day for passing up," he said. Lund and Calhoun both said that students .this year seem to have a new attitude about passing up. "People perceive now that it really isn't nice. Women don't like it, and people can get hurt," Calhoun said. Calhoun added that SPUN will con- tinue to patrol the football games in case the problem recurs. About the Northwestern game Calhoun said, "We're just ecstatic that there wasn't any passing up." HAPPENINGS SUNDAY FILMS Cinema Guild-Iphegenia et Aulus, 7,9:30 p.m., Old Arch. Aud.
