The Michigan Daily - Thursday, October 17, 1985- Page 3 80,000 Chrysler workers on strike DETROIT - With more than 80,000 workers on the picket lines, weary negotiators for Chrysler Corp. and the United Auto Workers returned to the bargaining table yesterday in both the United States and Canada. UAW President Owen Bieber said many tough issues remained to be resolved in talks covering 70,000 U.S. workers at Chrysler plants in 46 facilities in 15 states. "THERE ARE some tough friction 'points," Bieber said. "More than fric- tion points, there are some boulders." Bieber, leader of 70,000 U.S. strikers, returned to Chrysler headquarters 10 hours after announ- .cing the first U.S. Chrysler strike in 12 years. r "We're going to keep on working.

As of 9:30 p.m. last night, the Ann Arbor Board of Education remained undecided on a proposal that would require the children of University students living at the Northwood housing complex on North Campus to attend Northside Elementary School. THE CHILDREN now attend Logan Elementary, a school that specializes in dealing with children who speak little or no English. "The Board considers Northside one of the worst schools in the district," said Chuck Davis, a graduate student of Biostatistics who has two children currently at- tending Logan. Davis fears his children who only now have adjusted from their family's move to the University may have trouble readjusting to a new school. REUVEN KATZ, another resident of Northwood V, ex- presses his frustration at his inability to act on this issue: "Some of us come from a different country and don't pay taxes, so we cannot vote. We're easy to move around." "No other school is equipped to deal with children who speak no English," says Leah Waks, a graduate student in communications. She said that her son spoke no English two years ago but is learning in an atmosphere where no one will make fun of him. This proposal, however, is only one part of the Boards proposed long range plan that may reorganize the entire school district by enlarging or closing some of the existing schools. Children going to Logan would move to Northside to accommodate children coming in from a closing school. EUNICE ROYSTER, President of the Board, cites a $1.6 million deficit as the cause of the reorganization. She adds, "We're trying to accommodate the students by ad- ding a grandfather clause allowing the children of parents graduating in '87 to remain at Logan." "There is a need to extend the excellence of the Ann Ar- bor school system to more students, says Superintendent Richard Benjamin. But Katz feels that by solving this need the Board of Education is just creating problems.

In August the regents ordered University administrators to review these guidelines. Baker also pointed out that the regents recently voted to revise its bylaws, changing every reference to man to person. Baker also defended a reolution passed by the regents last month, supporting researchers in the Univer- sity who choose to do research related to President Reagan's controversial Strategic Defense Initiative. BAKER, WHO has opposed the University's involvement in politics, said the resolution was not a political stand because university researchers should be able to pick any topic for study, whether or not the public appr- approves of such research. He said the resolution was needed because of pressure applied on researchers not to take part in the controversial research. On a less controversial issue, Baker said that it is realistic for the Univer- sity to compete with better funded schools as Harvard and Berkeley, though students would probably have to face the brunt of the economic bur- den. Looking to the future, Baker said it was "unrealistic" to expect the state to provide the funding the university needs. (Continued from Page 1) Support the Struggle for Freedom in South Africa." Representatives of local organizations opposed to apartheid will also be on hand and have literature available to help par- ticipants learn how they can become active in the movement against apar- theid. Education about the history and origins of apartheid and its resistance is another focus of the program. Correction Carole Burkhardt, the University of Michigan Fitness Research Center's director of testing, said the stress test administered by the center, a per- son's heart rate and other vital signs are measured while running on a treadmill or peddling on an exercise bike. In addition, the life analysis questionnaire is filled out in conjun- ction with corporate health care promotions and is not used in fitness testing. An article in yesterday's Daily incorrectly reported this infor- mation. At Tuesday night's meeting, the Michigan Student Assembly voted to endorse a state House bill calling for the State of Michigan Public Em- ployees Retirement System to divest of stocks it holds in companies doing business in South Africa. An article in yesterday's Daily incorrectly repor- ted this information. "From all the stories in the news, people have gotten glimpses, but they don't have a sense of background and dynamics of the resistance movement," said Ransby. Tonight's program includes a film about the history of the struggle against apartheid in South Africa called "Generations of Resistance." This 1980 film goes beyond just providing information about the apar- theid system to show "blacks as makers of their own history," said Delgado. It contains footage of people direc- tly involved in the resistance movement, including Nelson and Winnie Mandela and Montatlepula Chabaku, a South African exile who was a leader of the women's resistan- ce to pass laws in the 1950's. Chabaku will be speaking here Friday night.
