Some 12 hours after Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger announ- ced the Reagan visit in Peking, deputy White House press secretary Larry Speakes sought to remove the issue of Taiwan as an obstacle to improved U.S.-Sino relations. "THE significance of the president's decision" to make the trip after a visit to the United States in January by Chinese Premier Zhao Ziyang lies in his commitment to "a strong relationship" between the two countries," Speakes said. Reagan will be the first president to visit China since Gerald Ford in 1975. As a candidate, he was sharply critical of normalization and the resulting termination of diplomatic ties with Taiwan. "The Taiwan question," Speakes said, "is a matter for the Chinese people on both sides."

All seven of those com- panies are included in the list of 37 in- volved in South Africa. The University technically is already in violation of the statute, which required divestment from the Soviet Union by last February. (Divestment from South Africa is not required until April 1984.) But Gerald Young, the state's assistant attorney general, said the state will not take any actions against the University for violating the law un- til the issue is resolved in court. State Sen. Alan Cropsey (R-DeWitt), who pushed through the amendment to the Bullard legislation that added the Soviet Union, said yesterday that he has not followed up on the enforcement of the legislation. BUT HE SAID that with "the recent action by the Soviets in shooting down the Korean airliner," he would like to "look into it more in the future." On the issue of the delays in Univer- sity divestment, Leonard Suransky, a lecturer on Southern Africa and a leader in the University's pro- divestment movement since the 1970s, said divestment proponents "should get on (the University's) back a bit" because no action seems to be taking place. "But I think (the regents are) committed to (divest) since they made the resolution in April. So far they have let four or five months go by without doing anything when they are supposed to be trying to get the best return on their investments." Suransky said it was "disturbing" to him that the University could only iden- tify five companies thus far that would be affected by the divestment resolution. "I hope the University is not just trying to weasel out of it." Negotiators back contract (Continued from Page 1) figures were available for the current' level of financial aid. "We put as much pressure as we could to make the University take ac- tion on the report," Ehrlich said. The Unversity's chief negotiat Colleen Dolan-Greene, said the University's offer has nothing to do with an attitude change; it is merely a reflection of the state's healthier fiscal conditions. DOLAN-GREENE SAID an increase in state funds this year gave the Univarsity more flexibility in bargaining. "The University is putting a high priority on support for graduate studen- ts," Dolan-Greene said. "We want to at- tract the best quality graduate studen- ts." She said lack of state funds in previous years has put many priorities, including TA salaries, on the "back burner." THIS YEAR THE University is slated to receive $168 million in state aid - $19 million more than last year - said Bob Sauve, assistant to the vice president for academic affairs. "We can afford to be optimistic because we know what's happening with the state's financial position," Sauve said. But GEO members say teaching assistants' salaries represent such a small percentage of the University's budget that "it's not nearly as impor- tant as they make it to be," Ehrlich said. ABSENT FROM the accord is men- tion of limiting class size and meeting affirmative action goals, two GEO requests throughout bargaining. Instead, the University will recom- mnend that individual departments restrict class size, and said the union has no right to ask for affirmative ac- tion considerations. "Affirmative action goals are bet- ween the University and the federal government," Dolan-Greene said, "not between us and GEO or,,any other union." A SURVEY taken last February of 1,332 teaching assistants found that 5.6 percent were minorities and 41.2 per- cent were women, said Gamble from the personnel office. Ehrlich said the union didn't have enough bargaining power to push for af- firmative action goals, but said it would be a "primary issue" in future negotiations. The contract will run through March, 1985. A key dispute between the two parties in earlier negotiations was the length of the contract: The University wanted a three-year agreement while GEO requested a shorter time. TAs will work under their present contract until September, 1984, when the negotiated increases take effect. Ehrlich said it's likely that GEO members would approve the contract when they vote next Wednesday.
