0 P4ge 2-Tuesday, September 28, 1982-The Michil School enr EAST LANSING (UPI) - The recent trend of de- clning enrollments in Michigan's elementary and secondary school districts should level off in the next fite years, according to a study by a group of medium- sited districts released yesterday. The organization of 20 school districts comprising the Middle Cities Association sees annual enrollment declines slowing from the average 3.68 percent per year during the 1976-81 period to an average of 1.52 percent per year from the current school year through 1986-87. While making the prediction that enrollment losses would slow in the near future, association executive director C. Robert Muth predicted sharp declines in future high school enrollments will require con- solidation of facilities, programs and staff. "THESE ADJUSTMENTS will be much more dif- ficult than those made for the declining elementary enrollments of the 70's," Muth said. "Staff changes ollment drop to slow ' adjustments will be much more difficult than those made for the declining elementary enrollments of the 70s.' -C. Robert Muth, Director. Middle Cities Association will be more difficult and consolidations will have to take place within the confines of stringent budgets." Predicted 1982-87 enrollment decreases range from a 20.6 percent loss in the Bay City district to a scant 0.8 percent reduction in Grand Rapids, with an average loss of 7.6 percent predicted. Bay City suffered the greatest losses over the last five years, with an enrollment decline of 29.6 percent. The study also predicted slowing but still substantial enrollment declines in the next five years for South- field, 18.1 percent compared with 29.1 percent in the last five years, and Niles, an 11.7 percent predicted decline compared with a 19.1 percent loss from 1976 to 1981. Districts where enrollment declines are expected to be cut by half or more are Grand Rapids, Ypsilan- ti, Muskegon, Kalamazoo, Marquette, Battle Creek, Willow Run, Muskegon Heights, Monroe, Saginaw, Pontiac, Flint and Lansing. Financial data for the 20 districts released in the report showed the average teacher's salary in the school systems rose by 40.1 percent between the 1976- 77 and 1980-81 school years from $15,464 to $21,690.

If a student doesn't get it right the fir- st time, many (but far from all) professors allow a second chance.

SUBMITTING A first draft "begins a conversation between the student and instructor, in which questions may arise that can help to clarify the paper," said Kate Clark, an English 125 teaching assistant. "Rewriting and revision is also extremely important." And at the English Composition Board office, the stress is definitely on rewriting and revision. But the big question was, as usual, grades. Most professors said they had no formula for an 'A' paper while others didn't want to comment on the subject. According to Beaver, A's are "fine work," and "truly superior," while "B"'s can also be "perfectly good," and "solid work." Below "B" come the average grades, and below that he wouldn't say. Art History Prof. Diane Kirkpatrick said a "A" paper "is well written, shows clarity of expression, and displays original thinking." uof M School of Music P.A.C.E.

The spokesman, John Hughes, said the U.S. and its European allies were virtually deadlocked over President Reagan's sanctions against the pipeline. _ He said Secretary of State George Shultz did not discuss the subject in separate sessions with West Germany State Secretary Bernd von Staden on yesterday and French Foreign Minister Claude Cheysson on Sunday. "There's nothing in the works," Hughes said, "Nothing is going on. The President's policy is firm, although he is happy to talk about alternative measures." "It was quite clear that the United States and France disagree and there was no point in discussing it in this forum," Hughes said. He said other European allies shared France's perception. UAW delays contract vote DETROIT - A rank-and-file vote on the tentative pact between the United Auto Workers and Chrysler Corp. apparently has been put on hold so changes can be made aimed at soothing worker dissatisfaction, officials said yesterday. No ratification deadline has yet been set by the union, nor have the meetings to explain the contract been scheduled at the 52 union locals around the country that serve Chrysler outposts. On Sept. 17, the union's Chrysler Council approved by a slim 51 percent vote the tentative pact that had been reached with the automaker the day before. UAW leaders originally wanted the pact ratified by Oct. 4. But that deadline has fallen by the boards in light of widespread worker anger over the contract. International Harvester keeps Ohio plant, closes in Indiana SPRINGFIELD, Ohio - Ohio won a $30 million bidding war with Indiana yesterday when International Harvester Co. announced it wuld expand a truck and bus assembly plant in Springfield but close a similar operation in Fort Wayne. Ohio officials and Springfield workers were jubilant. Gov. James Rhodes, who got state officials to raise a loan guarantee when it looked as if Indiana would win, flew 40 miles to Columbus to meet with International Harvester executives for the formal announcement. Rhodes said he would go to work to sell trucks and urged dozens of Har- vester workers who gathered at a news conference to do the same. The decision will cost Fort Wayne about 2,000 jobs, but Harvester will retain about 1,900 workers there in other than asembly operations. For Ohio, it will mean creation of about 1,500 new jobs in the next 15 mon- ths as Harvester expands its truck and bus production at Springfield from about 150 per day and now to around 400 a day. Rains wipe out raisin crop SAN FRANCISCO - Torrential rains brought to California by tropical storm Olivia wiped out most of the new U.S. raisin crop and struck hard at canning tomatoes, according to industry figures quoted yesterday. "It is a disaster. We are approaching a point now that we can expect total losses for a lot of individual growers," Fresno County farm adviser Peter Christensen said. "There are going to be some huge losses." The unseasonal, harvest-time rains caught about 90 percent of the raisin harvest as the grapes were drying in the fields, Fresno County Agriculture Commissioner Cosmo Insalaco said. Raisin growers had hoped for a dumper harvest of more than 260,000 tons following a relatively small harvest last year. Ron Kister, president of the Raisin Bargaining Association in Fresno, said it looked as if only 25 percent to 30 percent of the raisin crop would be saved. McDonald's, Burger King back in court over ads MIAMI- McDonald's went to court again yesterday in its attempt to stop an attack on Big Macs by Burger King, although the $20 million advertising campaign has already started. Attorneys for the nation's top two hamburger-sellers appeared before U.S. District Judge Eugene Spellman in a hearing on a lawsuit filed by Mc- Donald's. The suit seeks a temporary injunction to stop the commercials. McDonald's filed the action Thursday, charging that the ads were "false and misleading." Attorneys for McDonald's contended yesterday that Burger King was delaying producing documents to back up the campaign, and indicated they might seek an emergency restraining order to halt the ads as soon as possible. Burger King opened its "Operation Bob," for Battle Of the Burgers, over the weekend. The first television commercial, aired Sunday, showed a little girl on a swing asking, "Do I look 20 percent smaller to you? I must to Mc- Donald's. When I order a regular hamburger at McDonald's, they make it with 20 percent less meat than Burger King." In court yesterday, McDonald's attorneys charged that the ads will do damage every time they are aired, and that the matter deserved immediate action.
