GEG set to mail ballots (Continued from page 1) agreements, not all are members of the union. Non-members will be able to vote on the contract if they fill out the ap- plication to become a union member that will accompany the ballot. The deadline for voting is Saturday, Nov. 12 at 1 p.m. Members can vote by mailing the ballot back to the union or by placing it in a drop box in the lobby of the LSA building by Nov. 11th. UNION MEMBERS can also vote from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Nov. 12th at the Michigan League. The five-member Elections Committee will begin coun- ting the ballots after 1 p.m. The contract, which would run through March, 1985, calls for a 5.1 per- cent pay hike, a 7 percent reduction in tuition payments, and a guarantee of a net gain between salary and tuition in- creases. The pact also widens provisions for grievances by graduate assistants in disciplinary actions. Currently, grievance proceedings are only set up for terminations. The contract also will give teaching assistants a voice in departmental policy concerning class size. Where no policy exists, the University would "ac- Prep courses (continued from page 1) said. MOST STUDENTS who took prep courses agreed that the programs were helpful. Mike Mithen, an LSA senior who took the Dental Admissions Test (DAT) after enrolling in a Kaplan cour- se, said the preparation definitely im- proved his score. "I think I did better than if I hadn't taken the course," he said. Paul Morton, an LSA senior, said he was pleased with his results on the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) after taking the Kaplan course, but he thought the high cost involved made the system unfair to some students. "These courses should not exist. But if they are to exist, they should somehow be made available to everyone," he said. Spearin-Hurst responded that scholarship programs are available to tively encourage" departments to develop one, according to Abraham Ehrlich, a GEO negotiator. THE LAST contract agreement bet- ween GEO and the University was defeated by the membership in October 1982. At that time, a group of GEO members lobbied heavily against the contract, calling for better pay provisions, exemption from tuition, and substantive affirmative action plans. There has been no organized opposition to the current proposal thus far. Ehrlich called the latest proposal "a reasonable first step. We get enough in terms of initial things. (Provisions of the contract)set precedent and they set the stage for future negotiations." A summary. of the contract, which em- phasizes pay, tuition, and class size issues will accompany the ballot, Goldenfeld said. The Elections Committee's in- structions for voting includes the following message: "Whether for or against ratification, the vote of every member is needed. Without a contract, the survival of GEO and the salaries, tuition waiver, benefits, etc., won for TA's and SA's (Student Assistants) are in jeopardy." boost scores students based on financial need and academic status. "We have never tur- ned away a student who has come to us for help," she said. Cost for the programs range from $250 to as much as $600. NOT EVERYONE agrees that the courses are worth the money, though. Victor Valentino, another LSA senior who took the LSAT, said that if he had to do it again, he wouldn't have spent the money. "The test is based on skills you have picked up," he said. "It is hard for (the prep courses) to coach you on that." Valentino said that if he had to do it again he would buy a preparatory book and study the material on his own. Although Spearin-Hurst would not discount the content of such books, she said, "How many people are going to sit down and really study them?" AM HIGH s The Thrill of Flying It can be yours as an Air.

"NO WORDS CAN be found to ex- press harshly enough our condem- nation of those acts," said a statement read by Foreign Minister Claude Cheysson of France. While the four ministers reiterated their intention to keep thier forces in Lebanon, they said there would be "very deep disappointment" if a Lebanese national reconciliation con- ference scheduled to be held in Geneva, Switzerland next week failed to reach agreement. 41 To submit items for the Ha Happenings, The Michigan Dail Malicious Intent appenings Column, send them in care of y, 420 Maynard St., Ann Arbor, MI 48109 I .- . i i' i i I 1 . / - / i f / J e e ,; , - - _ , _r §s § PRE § §§ § MBA § § § § § § UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT WITH ADMISSIONS OFFICERS AND § § DEANS FROM GRADUATE SCHOOLS OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION. § § INFORMATION ON ADMISSIONS, COURSE REQUIREMENTS, AND CAREER OPPORTUNITIES WITH M.B.A. DEGREE.
