Page 2 -The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, November 29, 1983 Greyhound drivers reject pay cut PHOENIX, Ariz. (AP) - Striking Greyhound bus drivers and other workers resoundingly rejected a company proposal to reduce wages by 7.8 percent, with 96 percent voting against the contract offer, union officials said yesterday. But Harry Rosenblum, acting president of the Amalgamated Council of Greyhound Local Unions, said he didn't think "We'd be that far from a set- tlement" if the company and union resolved certain other issues in the three-year contract, such as a proposed reduction in pension benefits. ROSENBLUM, who told the company's chief negotiator the results of the vote, expressed op- timism that talks would resume soon. But when asked the company's reaction, he said: "They play good poker." GREYHOUND Lines planned no comment until today, when John Teets, chairman of, the parent Greyhound Corp., will hold a news conference in Phoenix to "announce important plans regarding Greyhound Lines." - Dorothy Lorant, Greyhound's vice president for public relations, said Teets would discuss the union's election results and other matters. She declined to elaborate. The Amalgamated Transit Union, which represen- ts 12,700 Greyhound workers, struck Nov. 2 over a proposed contract calling for a 9.8 percent salary cut. Greyhound said it needed the pay cuts to remain competitive with deregulated airlines and other bus lines. ROSENBLUM said the company's argument that many of the drivers would be willing to come back had been rebuffed by the voting. "They turned down the first contract offer by a margin of 98.3 percent and the 96 percent vote on this 'offer doesn't show that much erosion," said Rosen- blum. The official tally was 9,181 to 325 against the com- pany offer. The vote count came out to 96 percent op- posed, 3 percent in favor and about 3,000 employees not voting. When the Amalgamated Transit Union went on strike, the company shut down operations for two weeks. Under its limited resumption of service, Greyhound is operating in 27 states and has been of- fering half-price fares to attract passengers. Columbia puts spacelab into orbit (Continued from Page 1) shifts for around-the-clock research in Spacelab, a 23-foot-long cylinder moun- ted in Columbia's cargo bay. Resear- chers in 14 nations are anxiously awaiting a scientific bonanza from their experiments stored in the laboratory. The astronauts, aboard the ninth shuttle flight, will use the 38 scientific instruments packed into Spacelab to carry out 72 experiments in the most ambitious international science project in the history of space flight. Powerful telesccris and sensors will probe the life and death of distant stars and gauge the energy exploding from the Earth's own star, the sun. OTHER SENSORS and cameras will focus on the Earth, mapping the land surface and electronically sniffing the planet's atmosphere and gauging its magnetic fields. A keen-eyed German camera, capable of capturing views with a resolution of 32 feet, will take pictures not before possible, while a radar sen- sor will penetrate clouds to probe the surface. Sixteen experiments will study how life forms from Earth, including man himself, react to the weightless en- vironment of space. Included are in- , vestigations into the space sickness phenomena that has affected nearly half of the 26 shuttle astronauts. The tests include the response of human blood cells and of the immune system to zero gravity. The astronauts will take and analyze blood samples throughout the mission. The astronauts will also use the research center to conduct experiments including studies of the upper at- mosphere, Earth observations, astronomy and solar physics studies,- biological sciences, materials processing and investigations of a 1 million-MPH stream of electrified gases from the sun. Spacelab 1 is a cooperative mission by the United States and the 10 nations that make up the European Space Agency. ESA gave the Spacelab to NASA and is sponsoring half the ex- periments. Other experiments are from scientists in Canada, Japan and the United States. . The mission will fly over parts of the Earth not seen from previous flights. Mickey Manfle says-...

The American jets flew reconnaissance sorties over Beirut and nearby hills after the attacks on Marine positions. The shooting caused no casualties to the Marines and only minor damage to the Beirut airport where the Marines are stationed. The artillery and rocket-propelled grenade attacks on the U.S. Marine contingent at Beirut's international airport came before midnight and at daybreak, said a Marine spokesman, Maj. Dennis Brooks. Fquipment held from Guatemala WASHINGTON - The Reagan administration, upset over a resurgence of human rights violations in Guatemala, is delaying the sale of helicopter pars ts to the Central American nation's rightist military government, officials say. State Department officials, who spoke on condition they not be identified, said the delay reflects U.S. concern over the upturn in political violence - including attacks against employees of U.S.-funded educational programs. The officials said an earlier approval for the sale is not formally under review, but some senior officials want it withdrawn and, in the meantime; final permission for a $2 million purchase of military helicopter parts is being held up to signal U.S. displeasure. Blanchard vetoes abortion ban LANSING - Gov. James Blanchard yesterday vetoed a ban on welfare abortions, setting the stage for a pre-Christmas showdown with the legislature on the highly emotional issue. The Senate is likely to override Blanchard, but the vote in the House remains too close to call. Abortion foes have been waging a fierce lobbying campaign, including preparation of a study which indicates a higher than normal percentage of welfare recipients are undergoing the operations. They urged Blanchard, without success, not to veto the bill. Court upholds Florida execution TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - A federal appeals court refused yesterday to delay the execution of convicted murderer Robert Sullivan, scheduled less than 24 hours away, setting the stage for a last-minute appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta voted 2-1 against a stay after hearing nearly two and one half hours of argument. Judge R. Lanier Anderson dissented, saying Sullivan's claim that he was a victim of racial discrimination - he is white - should entitle him to another hearing. Sullivan, 36, has spent 10 years on Florida's death row, longer than any other condemned prisoner in the nation, following his conviction in the rob- bery-murder of a Homestead restaurant employee. Nigerian airline accident kills 53 LAGOS, Nigeria - A Nigerian Airways airliner with 74 people on board crashed yesterday as it made a landing approach, killing at least 53 people, news reports said. A survivor said the pilot complained the fog was making it hard to see the landing approach. 4 At least 18 people survived, the Nigerian News Agency said. Rescuers were looking for the three people still unaccounted for. The Nigerian reports did not say how many foreigners might have been on the plane. The Fokker F-28 was on a morning flight from Lagos, Nigeria's capital, to Enugu, 300 miles east. It crashed into a farm about two miles from Enugu airport, news reports said. The last major crash involving a Nigerian Airways plane was in 1971, when 87 people were killed in the northern city of Kano. In March 1978, a Nigerian Airways airliner and a Nigerian air force plane collided in the air and exploded over northern Nigeria, killing 18 people, ac- cording to Nigerian news reports. W. Germany says Soviets will continue arms talks with U.S. BONN, West Germany - Chancellor Helmut Kohl said yesterday the Soviet Union has signaled a willingness to reconsider its walkout from the Geneva arms talks, but Moscow said the new U.S. missiles in western Europe make further negotiations pointless. The Soviet Novosti news agency also warned that the deployment of NATO nuclear missiles also made success in separate talks on long-range missiles more difficult to attain. Kohl told a news conference that he recieved a letter from Soviet leader Yuri Andropov Friday in which he expressed willingness for a continuation of the East-West dialogue. "The Soviet Union does not consider the situation that has arisen irrever- sible," Kohl quoted the Anropov letter as saying. The West German leader said his interpretation of the letter is that the Soviet leadership is willing to examine the present situation and possibly revise last week's decision to leave the Geneva talks on medium-range missiles. The walkout came after West Germany approved the stationing of new U.S. missiles on its soil. But in statements issued by the official Soviet press yesterday, there was no indication Moscow was considering a softening of its position. 0 be Mtn tpan But-Iu Tuesday, November 29, 1983 Vol. XCI V-No. 68 (ISSN 0745-967X) 4 Sooner Or Later You'll Get Responsibility Like This.

After four years of college, you're ready for more responsibility than most civilian jobs offer. Navy officers get the kind of job and responsibility they want, and they get it sooner. Navy officers are part of the manage- ment team after 16 weeks. Instead of boot :. ment experience that could take years in private industry. And they earn the decision- making authority it takes to make that responsibility pay off. As their manage- ment abilities grow, Navy officers can take advantage of advanced education and training in fields as varied as operations management, electronics, and systems analysis. In graduate school it would cost you thousands; in the Navy we pay you. And the Navy pays well. The start- ing salary is $17,000 (more than most companies pay). And that's on top of a comprehensive benefits program that can include special duty pay. After four __ _ _ years, with regular a camp, officer candidates receive four months of leadership training. It's professional school- ing designed to sharpen their technical and management skills.
