al Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, October 15, 1984 Ford, UAW make tentative pact From AP and UPI DETROIT - United Auto Workers will get novel aid programs for em- ployees who lose their jobs to robots, more efficient operations or subcon- tracting in both a tentative contract with Ford Motor Co. and the pact they ratified with General Motors Corp. The Ford pact was reached yesterday morning, and last night the UAW an- nouned its 350,000 GM members in this country had ratified their new three- year contract with the nation's No. 1 automaker. The Ford contract includes the added protection of a four-year ban on the closing of any of Ford's 17 assembly plants or 48 parts facilities. UAW President Owen Bieber and Vice President Donald Ephlin announ- ced the ratification in a joint statement and reported that 57.4 percent of those voting approved the pact on a 138,410 to 102,528 vote. THE PACT, which affects 350,000 GM workers, is scheduled to be signed Friday. "We are extremely pleased with the outcome of the ratification process," the joint statement by Bieber and Ephlin said. Ephlin said negotiations for local agreements will continue in many locations, with 116 out of 149 bargaining units having settled local pacts. Ford's contract was extended last month when the union chose GM as its strike target. The union did not invoke its right to strike on 72 hours notice, nor did it call local walkouts, a tactic used at GM when the two failed to reach agreement by their Sept. 14 deadline. THE FORD settlement came two days after expiration of the informal Friday deadline set when talks resumed Oct. 1. "The tentative agreement follows closely the pattern established by the UAW at General Motors Corp," said Bieber. "As a result of this tentative settlement, the UAW workers at Ford will have greater job security than ever in history. "The tentative agreement also provides significant economic gains immediately and in the years ahead." BIEBER apparently won assurance from Ford chairman Philip Caldwell that a new small car will be produced in North America. The auto is believed to be Ford's version of GM's Project Saturn model. Ford bargainers had said they would not "walk in lockstep" with the GM pact. Stanley Surma,Ford executive director of Labor Relations, acknowledged Ford did follow the GM pattern in some areas, but said the No. 2 automaker's specific needs were also addressed. The Ford contract is beleived to run for six years, the same as the GM con- tract. Bieber said the undisclosed Ford contract also includes the same three- tier wage increase system in the first year as in the GM pact. FORD ALSO will set aside about $300 million to pay workers displaced by competitive conditions unrelated to car sales. The union has called a meeting of its 160-member Ford Council for Wed- nesday in Detroit. The group, made up of local presidents and plant represen- tatives at 54 locals, must endorse the agreement before it goes to the mem- bership for ratification. The GM contract pattern calls for raises ranging from 1 percent to 3.5 percent, depending on the worker's classification. The average assembly line worker will receive about 2.25 per- cent, 15 cents an hour in wages, $21,900 yearly. Assembly workers will receive lump Bieber .. . pleased with outcome sum payments in the second and third years of 2.25 percent, $700 and $725. Those increases will not be folded into the base wage, used to calculate benefits. Drunken football fans I ht Kanst MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) - Thousands of drunken Kansas State University football fans celebrating a victory over their archrival attacked police early yesterday in a "frightening" near-riot in which several officers were injured and 24 people including 14 KSU students, were arrested, police said. "We had several thousand drunk people on our hands ... and they star- ted attacking officers," said Manhattan police Sgt. Darrell Yarnall. The situation came close to erupting into a riot, he said. As many as 8,000 people, most of them students, had packed into a two- square-block area of shops and bars known as Aggieville to celebrate Kan- sas State's 24-7 victory Saturday over the University of Kansas, Yarnall said. The victory game Kansas State the Governor's Cup, awarded each year to the winner of the game between the two schools. "THEY GOT to drinking, it kept get- ting more crowded and they started to take over the streets," said Yarnall, who was among officers from Manhat- tan, Junction City and the Kansas Highway Patrol who were called to' the scene. "I can tell you it definitely was frightening." is police Police Sgt. Vernon Brown said the "mass disturbance" erupted about midnight.. The celebrants, chanting "We're number one," started to get unruly and choke off streets, he said. One officer was stabbed in the forearm with a knife and others were pelted with bottles and debris, he said. "We deplore and regret what other- wise might have been a good day," said university spokesman Charles Hein, adding that the disturbance had "cast a severe blemish" on the school. THE UNIVERSITY had not decided what to do with those who took part, said Chet Peters, vice president for student affairs. But, he said, "Those things that take place off campus like this generally are handled by the cour- ts." Sanctions imposed by the university culd include academic probation or community work assignments. Reinforcements were called in, and it took about 75 officers, most of them wearing riot helmets and carrying wooden clubs, a couple of hours to clear the area and restore peace, Brown said. Six officers were treated at a hospital and released, IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Duarte, rebel leaders meet today SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador - Two exiled rebel leaders retur- ned to El Salvador yesterday to hold historic peace talks with President Jose Napoleon Duarte, who was under a threat from a rightist death squad for arranging today's summit. Buillermo Manuel Ungo, president of the Democratic Revolutionary Front, known as the FDR, and Ruben Zamora, a top FDR leader, arrived at El Salvador International Airport in Comalapa aboard a Colombian Air For- ce plane. ThenDemocratic Revolutionary Front is the political arm of the guerrilla coalition that will hold peace talks today with Duarte in the mountain town of La Palma, 40 miles north of San Salvador, in rebel-dominated Chalatenango province. Today marks the fifth anniversary of a coup by young, moderate officers who dusted rightist President Carlos Romero and established a military- civilian alliance in a bid to prevent a leftist insurection. Some people-mark the coup as the start of the nation's civil war. The summit will be the first between the U.S.-backed government and the rebels in the nation's civil war that has left some 50,000 people dead. Yale workers picket for parents NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Striking Yale University workers were out on the picket lines in force this weekend as more than a thousand parents visited the Ivy League campus for the annual Parents' Weekend. "We're picketing 10 or 12 hours a day this weekend," said librarian Beverly Lett as she walked outside the university's administration offices at Woodbridge Hall. It's the only opportunity we'll have to get our message across to the paren- ts, to tell them that their children's education is being threatened by the ad- ministration's policy." Hundreds of striking white-collar staffers and some faculty and students picketed cocktail parties, campus tours, theatrical events, performances by the Yale Philharmonia and university's singing groups and Saturday's foot- ball game with Dartmouth. Britain beefs up leaders' security BRIGHTON, England - Police are tightening security around Britain's top politicians to guard against the threat of more IRA attacks like the bom- bing at Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's convention hotel. Police warned top political, military, and judicial figures yesterday to take precautions against possible future strikes on the British mainland by the Irish Republican Army. Mrs. Thatcher and Neil Kinnock, the leader of Britain's opposition Labor Party, were given beefed-up security guards. "We do not discount the possibility that a unit could still be in this country with the intention of causing more incidents of this nature," said Comman- der William Buckesby, chief of Scotland Yard's anti-terrorist branch. The IRA took responsibility for the pre-dawn bombing Friday at the Grand Hotel in Brighton, where Mrs. Thatcher and her Cabinet were attending a Conservative Party convention. The blast killed four people, wounded 32 and narrowly missed Mrs. Thatcher, who left her bathroom only moments before it was devastated. Italian mob thrives despite blitz ROME - A leading parliamentarian was quoted yesterday as saying that the Mafia is much bigger than believed and that despite recent crackdowns "it is not prudent to claim victory" over the mob. Sen. Saverio D'Amelio, Christian Democrat vice chairman of the Parliament's anti-Mafia commission, also told an Italian news weekly that some unidentified Italian politicians "from all parties" had links with the Mafia. D'Amelio's remarks to the magazine Citta Domani were carried by the Italian news agency ANSA. "It will not be easy to defeat this octopus of a thousand tentacles," he was quoted as saying. The Mafia is frequently referred to as "the octopus." "The success in the so-called St. Michael's blitz had been big, but it is not prudent to claim victory," D'Amelio said, referring to a major anti-Mafia operation launched on Sept. 29, the feast day of St. Michael. Acting on the confessions of jailed Mafia chieftain Tommaso Buscetta, police arrested 62 suspects in Sicily and issued more than 300 arrest warran- ts. Police sources, who spoke on condition they not be identified,'have said at least 60 other long-sought Mafia figures eluded the raid. Men require hospitalization less often, stay longer than women WASHINGTON - Women are much more likely to be hospitalized than men but once in a hospital men stay longer, new government statistics show. The nation's non-federal hospitals served 38.8 million patients last year - 15.6 million men and 23.2 million women - the National Center for Health Statistics reported. The number of hospital visits is "always higher for females than for males because of the large number of women in their childbearing years who are hospitalized for deliveries," the 1983 National Hospital Discharge Survey noted. But even excluding women delivering babies, females were hospitalized at a rate of 160 per 1,000 persons, compared to 139 males hospitalized per 1,000. The average hospital stay for males was 7.4 days, compared to 6.6 days for women, the report said. But this was also strongly affected by women who delivered children, who were hospitalized for an average of only 3.6 days each. Excluding childbirth from the statistics, women averaged 7.2 days per hospital stay, still slightly less than men. 10 10 C A 71 Associated Press Oh Henry !

"Tiger fans are as undeser- ving as the Tigers themselves," said Gill, a student at the University of Florida. "They cheated. They obviously poisoned the San Diego starting pit- ching staff. "Just wait 'til next year, when the Blue Jays sign Bruce Sutter and the Yankees sign Rick Sutcliffe. They'll both blow the Tigers away." A couple of Tiger-haters preferred to remain anonymous as they are forced to live in close quarters with those maniacs who call Marty Castillo out for curtain calls. "A lot of these people are pretty damn obnoxious," said one well- informed fan. "You should hear these Tiger fans. They think Alan Trammell is the best shortstop in baseball. Robin Yount is a million times better than Alan Trammell. "And did you see Gibson push that fan. I think Gibson is a real.. .." Yes, there is still some sanity left in the world.
