High demand aids fast food workers The Michigan Daily - Monday, November 10, 1986 - Page 5 Students discuss Arab-Israel conflict (Continued from Page 1) The number of temporary employees at the MUG has dropped from 50 percent of the work force to less than 5 percent, Bob Leichow, personnel manager of the MUG, attributes the lack of student interest to students' improved financial status. "Students who go here now have money. Their parents support them and they don't want or need to work," he said. MARK WOLOK, a business school junior and MUG employee, said the other employees did not object to temporary workers receiving a higher salary - they were just glad to have the help. Jim Youngquist, manager of Rax restaurant, attributes the difficulty of recruiting workers to the shrinking pool of applicants and the growing number of fast food restaurants. "The baby boom is over and the people in that age bracket are gone," he said, adding that the fast food market has expanded so much that restaurants have to compete for employees. According to the MESC, the unemployment rate reported through Aug. 31 was 7.9 percent for the state of Michigan, 4.6 percent for Washtenaw County, and 2.8 percent for Ann Arbor. Washtenaw County has the lowest unemployment rate in the state for people between the ages of 18 and 65, excluding full-time students. IN AN EFFORT to compensate for staff shortages, fast food restaurants are appealing to non-traditional applicant pools. In a radio ad last spring, McDonald's encouraged housewives and senior citizens to apply. "We hired one senior citizen and he was great,,, said Rosie Fellhauer, owner of the McDonald's on Maynard Street. Most fast food restaurants in Ann Arbor are offering higher pay. According to Bleich, if one restaurant raises its hourly wage, then others will soon follow. For closing shifts, Rax pays $4.00 per hour starting pay, McDonald's and Taco Bell pay $4.50, and Burger King pays $3.85. Taco Bell also offers a one-week paid vacation to employees who work at least 30 hours per week for one year. Some restaurant employees create their own benefits. Three Burger King employees said they like working there because the hours are flexible and because they can show up late for work because there is no one to replace them.

HILARY SHADROUI, a history graduate student and a member of last year's dialogue group, said the group helped break down stereotypes. "The exercises and games helped us get to know each other as human beings instead of Arabs and Jews," Shadroui said. Mula, 28, was born in Northern Israel. His parents urged him not to speak out about the Arab-Israeli conflict, fearing it would hurt his employment opportunities in Israel, but Mula said he felt he "had no choice but to choose this kind of work." After graduating from Jerusalem University with a bachelor of arts degree in philosophy and Middle East history, Mula worked at the Van Leer Foundation in Jerusalem, developing co-existence curriculum. Earlier this year he directed teacher training at the International Center for Peace in Tel Aviv. "I don't do this kind of work because I love Jews and I don't expect Jews to work for co- existence because they love Arabs," Mula said. "I want to exist and dialogue between the two groups can make it possible for both of them to exist peacefully." Brawer is a founding member of Kibbutz Lavon, an industrial settlement in the Galil region of Israel. Brawer said he hopes the settlement, located in an area that is half Arab, will promote cooperation between Arabs and-Jews.

Senate Republican leader Robert Dole, (R-Kan.), told a conference in Atlanta yesterday that it would be a "terrible mistake" to cut an arms deal with Iran. "We all want the hostages home," he said, "but I don't think we want to deal with (Ayatollah Ruhollah) Khomeini in an effort to do that." But other Rennblicans defended the reported administration activities, saying it is desirable to improve relations with Iran and attempt to moderate its extremism. "The wider goal here is to try to bring about a more moderate group of leadership in Iran. ... We've made some strides in that regard," said Sen. Orrin Hatch, (R-Utah), a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, appearing on CBS' "Face the Nation."

Shore has been teaching self- defense classes for three years and said it is sometimes difficult to get women to attend.
