Chrysler
and auto
workers
agree on
contract
From AP and UPI
HIGHLAND PARK - Chrysler
Corp. and the United Auto Workers
agreed yesterday on a tentative con-
tract for 70,000 strikers, giving them
wage parity with other autoworkers
plus a $2,000 bonus to make up for
concessions granted when the
automaker faced bankruptcy.
However, the UAW did not get
guarantees against job-threatening
subcontracting and the company lost
its bid for Japanese-style job classes.
CHRYSLER SAID the three-year
agreement would cost the company at
least $1 billion more than the contract
that expired last week.
If ratified, the agreement would
give each U.S. Chrysler worker an
immediate minimum of $2,000 cash to
compensate for the $1 billion in con-
tract concessions that workers gran-
ted the company during its brush with
bankruptcy.
The agreement followed a
marathon 42-hour bargaining session
ending a strike by 70,000 American
workers that was entering its eighth
day.
"ASPECTS OF it (the contract)
startled me," said Thomas Miner,
Chrysler's top negotiator, regarding
the UAW gains.
"We're pleased to have a set-
tlement, but we weren't happy we
went out on strike. We lost a lot of
money, and in a short time we would
have lost a lot more. We were very
happy to get it over," Miner said.

Misconduct allegations
By NANCY DRISCOLL
and STEPHEN GREGORY
Three recent campus protests - including
yesterday's demonstration against Central Int-
elligence Agency recruiters - have resulted in
allegations of misconduct by students and Ann
Arbor police officers.
Several protesters who were arrested this
week in the anti-CIA actions at the Student Ac-
tivities Building have said they were hit, kicked,
or pulled by their hair during their arrests.

Skateboarding makes a
comeback around campus
By MARY MOORE
They glide down the sidewalk, skillfully weaving in and
out of a flood of campus pedestrians much like a California
surfer maneuvering the cool tides of the Pacific.
Occasionally the fluidity of their movements will be
broken, and instead of falling into. water, they hit the cold
pavement with a thud.
THEY ARE, of course, a new breed of skateboarders who
skate not only for recreation but to get to class on time.
Pushed into the background in the early 1970s because of
its dangers, skateboarding is now making a comeback in
Ann Arbor - possibly because of Back to the Future, a film
in which the main character hitches rides on the back of
cars on his skateboard.
When the skateboarding fad first arrived n the 1970s, it
was often associated with "bad types," but has since moved
into the realm of the mainstream, though there are still the
hardcore skateboarders who deck out in chains and sport
punk hair styles.
While most "boarders" around here are high schoolers
who have been skating for from five to seven years, Univer-
sity students can also be seen riding around campus.
JOHN KEST. an education school freshman, gave up
walking in favor of skateboarding to class. He says he is no
longer late to class thanks to the purchase of a skateboard.
It is better than the bike, he says, because he is among the
pedestrians and can talk to friends he bumps into. It's a
great way to meet people, he adds.
Phil Seiden, a former University student, remembers the
time he had to get ten or twelve stitches in his rear end
when he fell into a pile of glass.
But this didn't stop his skateboarding. "I can remember
the exact day I started," Seiden said. "It was July 4,1972."
SINCE THAT time, he has amassed around 20 boards and
boasts that he has attained speeds of 39 miles-per-hour on
Broadway near North Campus. He has boards tailored to his
many uses.
Being a well-equipped skateboarder is expensive. Most
riders say that the cheap ones go for $50. To get the best
equipment, riders must be willing to pay upwards of $100
and assemble it themselves.
Each skateboard is unique, enthusiasts say. There are
wide boards, flat boards, and skinny boards - even those
that dip in the middle. Riders choose their form depending on
the flexibility they desire. Large wheels and skinny wheels

Peace march
LANSING - Opponents of state-
funded abortions for poor women
yesterday narrowly lost another
round in their battle to cut off money
for the operations, and were split on
whether another attempt will be made
this session.
Abortion foes could muster only 72
votes to override Gov. James Blan-
chard's veto of the controversial
legislation cutting off state support
for abortions. That was two votes
short of the number necessary to
reject a veto - the same number
abortion foes lacked when the House
'last took a vote in March.
THIRTY-seven lawmakers voted to
sustain the governor's veto.
The vote keeps Michigan among the
14 states which currently provide fun-
ding for abortions through the
Medicaid program.
Both sides gave credit to Blan-
chard's lobbying efforts for the failure
of the override attempt.
"I think so," said Rep. Michael
Griffin - the Leader of House abor-
tion opponents - when asked if the
issue were dead for the year.
However, Barbara Listing, head of
Right to Life of Michigan, the state's
major anti-abortion lobby, said other
attempts will be made closer to next
year's elections.
Listing said an "adamantly pro-
abortion governor" was responsible
for the defeat. She said the defeat
identifies for her group districts in
which more work is needed.
