PRESS
bAbout 2,300 secretaries and
:other employees went on strike
yesterday at Michigan State Uni-
versity, while the school lined up
extra temporary help for registra-
tion next week, a university
spokesperson said.
Several groups of 20 to 3C
pickets appeared on the Michigar
State campus in East Lansing as
the Clerical-Technical Union be-
gan its strike, union spokespersor
Laura Saeger said.
"We're hopeful that the
university will believe now that
this group is willing to stand up
and fight for what is right, and we
hope they will come to the table
ready to bargain in good faith,'
Saeger said.
University spokespersor
Cheryl Jensen said the university
had made plans to register its
44,000 students starting Monday
as scheduled, using more thar
usual temporary help for the job,
and begin classes as scheduled or
Sept. 22.
But she said, "We miss them
aread".
Jensen said the university of-
fered a wage package involving
about a 5 percent overall increase.
The union asked a 5 percent
general increase plus funding to
implement recommendations of
1983 employee classification
study for an overall increase of
about 7 percent, Saeger said.
The two sides last met on Fri.

MSA's Budget Priorities Com-
mittee, hardest hit by the assembly's
funding cuts for the 1988-89 fiscal
year, will receive $6000 less this
year than it did last year. But school
and college governments will be able
to make up the difference, thanks to a
100 percent increase in their budgets.
The Budget Priorities Committee,
which allocates revenue to student
organizations, took about 5 percent
of the assembly's overall loss. But
other MSA committees received
funding increases.
The Academic Affairs Committee
grew from a $300 budget last year to
a $3,000 allowance. Commun-
ications received $10,000, an increase
of $4,000.
The assembly budget, which is
funded primarily through student
fees, was threatened by the Uni-
versity's Board of Regents this
summer. The regents denied MSA a
funding increase this summer and
abolished spring and summer term
fees. This will result in an ap-
proximate annual decrease of
$100,000.
But the smaller allocation
dispensed by the regents - once dis-
tributed among committees - was
easily approved by the assembly last
night.
The budget allocated the largest
portion, $282,960, to Student Legal
Services. SLS provides free legal
counsel to all University students.
MSA also renewed its allocation
of $.35 per student fee for the
rudget
Michigan Collegiate Coalition
(MCC). The coalition represents 15
Michigan colleges in lobbying for
student concerns in the legislature.
Currently MCC is working with
State Rep. Perry Bullard (D-Ann
Arbor) on the Tuition Advance Law.
The law, if passed, will require
colleges to notify students of tuition
increases before they register for
classes.
In other business, MSA ap-
propriated $600 for a voter regis-
tration drive. MSA is working with
nine other organizations including
the College Republicans and the
College Democrats in registering
students for the November elections.
"In 1984 70% of UM students did
not vote," said LSA junior Zachary
Kittrie, who is heading the drive.
"This year we're going to change
that."
The assembly also elected two
new committee chairs. LSA Rep.
Paul White will now chair the
International Students Committee.
Julie Murray will chair the Student
Rights Committee.
In addition, MSA President
Michael Phillips and Overdorf
encouraged assembly members to
attend Thursday's "Students for a
Democratic Campus" rally to-
morrow. The rally protests the code,
deputization in the expulsion of
regental by-law 7.02. MSA has taken
an active role in the student
coalition.

day, and Jensen and Saeger said
yesterday that no further talks
were scheduled.
Elsewhere, striking faculty
members and clerical workers at
Wayne State University in Detroit
were holding separate talks with
university officials, university
spokesperson Robert Wartner said.
Wartner said 65 to 70 percent
of classes have met since school
began Sept. 6 for the university's
31,000 students. The American
Association of University Profes-
sors, which represents the striking
faculty members, says the figure
is closer to 50 or 55 percent.

Tall tales
No, not everyone bought their books last week. LSA first-
year student Shannon Rennie will surely be busy this
semester; that is if she can carry this stack of books,
which she bought yesterday at Ulrich's, home.
Easter, sons get

Ordinance limits
kboarders on streets

It was quiet. Too quiet.
1 The frequent rumbling of skate-
board wheels passing overhead was
gbne from the underground Bill's
Iindery Used Books yesterday.
But the skateboarders, whose
hobby has been banned from the E.
Liberty sidewalk, found other places
to dwell.
"We can still skate in the Diag
and the Business School," said Nik
Julius, a 15-year-old Ann Arbor resi-
dent. Julius said he skates whenever
he gets the chance, but said he will
obey the newly-approved city ordi-
nonce.
The ordinance, passed by the City
qouncil on July 5, went into effect
yesterday after signs were posted on
city streets.
Anyone caught skateboarding in
the banned area, which includes parts
of Liberty, State, Main, and S. Uni-
versity streets, as well as all city
parking lots, will have to pay a $5
fine.
But 14-year-old Matt Allen said
the fine won't stop him. "I will skate
anyway," he said.
The ordinance, the first of its kind
in the city, was prompted by com-
plaints from angry store-owners that
skateboarders were annoying their
customers and defacing city property.
Although many stores were in fa-
vor of a skateboarding ban, some lo-
cal store owners said the ban was
unnecessary.
"We had nothing to do with the
ordinance," said Barry Hennsler, sys-
tems manager for Albert's Copying
on E. Liberty.
DETROIT (AP) - Alberta Easter
and her three sons were sentenced
yesterday to mandatory life prison
terms for killing three Inkster police
officers during an, 11-hour hostage
siege, but the judge said he wished
they could get the death penalty.
Michigan does not have the death
penalty.
Wayne County Circuit Court
Judge Richard Hathaway read the
mandatory sentences, which included
hard labor, for Easter and George,
Roy, and William Lemons for the
July 9, 1987 slayings of Sgt. Ira
Parker and officers Clay Hoover and
Daniel Dubiel.
Hoover and Dubiel, and later
Parker, had gone to the Bungalow
Motel in the Detroit suburb of
Inkster to serve a bad check warrant
on Easter. All three were taken
hostage in adjoining rooms of the
motel occupied by Easter and her
sons and were found dead of multiple
gunshot wounds when the four fam-
ily members surrendered.
"The actions on July 9 are a dis-
grace to the word 'family.' I only
wish the victims' families could step
forward and sentence the defendants
instead of the court," Hathaway said.
Hathaway sentenced the defen-
dants, who were convicted Aug. 8
after a 14-week trial, to solitary con-
finement and ordered them incarcer-
ated at different prisons.
"In this way, the defendants will
understand the pain of separation that
the victims' families feels," Hath-
away said, his voice breaking with
emotion and fading into a whisper.
In a 10-minute statement to the
court, Easter passionately maintained
her innocence, emphasizing her
points with sharp hand motions.
"I am sorry about the loss, but it
wasn't our fault. Injustice has been
made legal," William Lemons said.

THE
UofM BUSINESS INTERN PROGRAM
Help create the
first 21st century
company
Apple has always been a little ahead of its time. From
the introduction of the first popular personal CompuI-
ter, to the first system uto Use graphic user interface, to
the first desktop publishing-.systeml, our goal has
always been the same: to change the world with
comlputers.
That goal results in a conpany that is every
hit as advanced as its products. In many ways. Apple
is well on its way to becoming the first 21st century
company in the Fortune 200.
Where the typical company emphasizes hier-
archv', at Apple we stress networks. Instead of man-
dates coming down from the top, ideas percolate
throughout the organization. We give our people
unusual amounts of responsibhility. Extraordinary tools
to let them do their best work. And an eclectic envi-
ronment condtucive to changing the world.
Add to that uMusual environment all of the
resources a major corporation can provide. Sophisti-
cated management. Astute marketing. International
distribution. And you have the elements of the first
company of the next century: Apple.
If you re ready to lead the way beyond the year
2000, and you're about to receive a degree in engi-
neering or computer science, why not join a company
as eager to see what you can do as youare-Apple.
Come hear our engineers and MIS managers
talk about our future and your future With us.
We'll be on campus:
September 15th
from 6p.m. to 8p.m.
