UAW council backs
new GM contract

_

CHICAGO (AP) - The United Auto
*Workers union's General Motors Corp.
council voted overwhelmingly yester-
day to recommend rank-and-file
ratification of a concessions contract
that would protect jobs and save the No.
1 automaker $2.5 billion over the next 30,
months.
Union GM Vice President Owen
Bieber told a news conference 299 of the
324 council members voting recom-
mended adoption of the contract.
"I. THINK that the unamimous ap-
proval by the top bargaining committee
and the council here speaks well for the
agreement," Bieber said. "The reac-
tion of the council was very good, very
positive. There was an excellent spirit'
of unity, of goodwill among the
delegates."
The union has scheduled meetings for

Tuesday and Wednesday in Chicago to
explain the tentative pact to local union
leaders from around the country.
Bieber said "we hope to compete this
ratification vote by Easter weekend."
In addition to recommending the
pact, the council could have recom-
mended that the rank and file reject the
contract or could have passed it onto
the membership without a recommen-
dation.
GM AND THE UAW reached ten-
tative accord on the pact Sunday. Un-
der the plan, GM's 320,000 U.S.
autoworkers would face a wage freeze,
give up nine paid personal holidays per
year and defer their June, September
and December cost-of-living -allowance
increases.

DANIEL ATKINS, Acting Director of
the University's Center for Robotics
and Integrated Manufacturing, said
about 60 percent of the Air Force grant
would be to train graduate students. He
added that he believes all research
originating from the grant would be
publishable.
:Other federal agencies, such as the
Nationaf Science Foundation, cannot-

provide the large sums of money taht
the University's robotics center is
looking for, Atkins said, simply because
of their tight budget.
The NSF, has already promised
$400,000 over the next two years, as part
of the initial funds for CRIM. The NSF
also recently announced that it had
awarded a four-year, $700,000 grant to
the University of Rhode Island for the
establishment of a new robotics center.

Job outlook bright

(Continued from Page 1)
Carroll said that last year, 25 percent
of the school's master's graduates and
52 percent of its bachelors graduates
accepted jobs in Michigan.
"I SUSPECT, however, there will be
a significant change in the percentages
this year. It will definitely be the non-
manufacturing segment that will hold
up the statistics this year," she said,
*adding that industries in this area have
been the heaviest recruiters this year.
According to Carroll, the economy
has left its greatest mark on the
manufacturing segment, especially the
automotive and metals industries, and
the placement office is beginning to feel
the effects.

cooperative Council, which also has of-
fices on the Union's fourth floor, said
"the point is, we don't want to have
catering services, we want to do it our-
selves." She pointed out that the ICC's
kitchen meets Union health codes.
Cianciola added that the food service
employs many students who would be
hurt by further reductions or the
closing of the caterers.
The food service is now operating at a
loss, Cianciola said, although the losses
are less than half what they were a year
ago.
When one student- mentioned that
donuts from the food service cost 50
cents each, Cianciola responded, "The
fact that we're a (student) union
doesn't let us escape the financial
responsibility of being a business."
When some students at the meeting
pointed out that Michigau ma, a secret
University fraternity, often brings its
own beer to meetings, and several mon-
ths ago threw a disposable keg out their
sixth-floor Union Window, Marc Dann,
chairperson of the Union Board of
Representatives, said "blatant
disregard of the rules' will not be
tolerated."
