41 Page 2- The Michigan Daily -Tuesday, October 3, 1989 Nursing contract dialogue continues by Donna Woodwell Daily Staff Writer Contract negotiations between the University of Michigan Profess- ional Nurses Council (UMPNC) and University Hospital administration officials are proving to be a "slow 4nd lengthy process," said Toni Shears, a hospital information off- icer. University nurses went on strike in July after contract negotiations with hospital officials broke down. In August, Washtenaw County Judge Melinda Morris ordered them back to work. The nurses are currently working regular hours. Both sides met in mid-September jn unmediated negotiations to debate several minor contract issues. Acc- ording to Shears, the 14 articles under discussion were reduced to 12 asa result of these meetings. * Neither side sees an immediate resolution to the issues under debate. Shears admits that its difficult to "have a firm estimate on how long this process will take," and Stoll also foresees the negotiations "dragging out" over an indefinite pe- riod of time. The next fact finding session is scheduled for October 17. The fact finder is encouraging both sides to pursue further unmediated negotia- tions - the next session of which is scheduled for October 10.

Mubarak optimistic on chances of Israeli-Palestinian dialogue WASHINGTON (AP) - Egyp- tian President Hosni Mubarak met with President Bush Monday on Mideast peace efforts and said he saw a "golden opportunity" for a break- through between Israel and the Pales- tinians. Mubarak said failing to seize the opportunity "would be a grave mis- take" and that he and Bush agreed "to work closely together in order to uti- lize the existing momentum." "The continuation of the status quo is hazardous to both" Israel and the Palestinians, the Egyptian leader told reporters after an Oval Office session lasting nearly an hour. However, even as Mubarak sought to promote his plan, which includes a demand that Israel agree in principal to giving up seized lands, aides to Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir said the Israeli leader does not intend to alter his own Pales- tinian peace initiative. "The United States policy is to oppose additional settlements in the occupied territories," Secretary of State James A. Baker III said. And presidential press secretary Marlin Fitzwater declared, "Our policy is we don't allow U.S. aid to be used for resettlement in the West Bank." In Jerusalem, Yossi Ahimeir, a spokesman for Shamir, said the Is- raeli leader does not intend to alter his own peace plan despite pressure from Egypt, the United States or the rival Israeli Labor Party. Shamir's plan calls for elections in the occupied territories to choose delegates for negotiations with Is- rael. However, final status on the lands occupied by Israel since 1967 Middle East war would be decided later. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Toxic wastes in Great Lakes will cost $10 billion to remove LANSING - Controlling the spread of toxic chemicals from mud on the bottom of Great Lakes harbors and rivers will cost at least $10 billion and take decades, government experts say. Contaminated sediments in Great Lakes waterways stem from indus- trial chemical discharges and agricultural runoff. The contamination in- cluded dioxin, DDT and PCBs. The poison poses a threat to fish and wildlife, and scientists believe sediments contribute to fish consumption warnings. Meanwhile, some Great Lakes birds have been born with serious defects. But the scientists are divided over how to deal with the contaminated sediments. Some say it's safer to leave the sediments in place and cap them with clay, while others urge removal of poison mud to halt contin- ued release of pollutants. By 1992, EPA officials hope to have more sophisticated technology to more safely contain, remove and dispose of contaminated sediments. Rains hamper Hugo recovery CHARLESTON, S.C.- Rain, floods, and a tornado heaped more misery on Hugo-wrecked South Carolina yesterday, interrupting rebuild- ing efforts from the storm that pummeled the coast 12 days ago. Damage has been estimated at $3 billion or more, with crop damage placed at approximately $100 milllion. Aid from across the nation continued to pour into South Carolina for victims of the hurricane. The response has been so overwhelming, though, that some officials don't know what to do with everything. "We have clothing backed up on us, including in boxcars that have come from the West Coast," Major Ken Bush of the Salvation Army said. "People, generally speaking, only want a number of clothes... and we've reached that certain amount. We're backlogged." Relief officials deluged with clothing urged donors to send building supplies, non-perishable food, and cash. New Breathalyzers unveiled KALAMAZOO - New technology could replace the 1954-vintage Breathalyzer if police tests that begin later this month show the device helps Michigan's age-old war against drunken-drivers. Almost every law enforcement agency serving Kalamazoo County will be testing the Infrared Intoximeter 3000 for six months before a decision is made on using the system statewide, said Ronald Thill, Michigan State Police program director for breath and alcohol testing. The instrument uses infrared rays to detect alcohol on a motorist's breath. It is being touted as cheaper, faster and more reliable than its 35- year-old predecessor. Roadside equipment, which gives only and indication of alcohol, will remain the same; the infrared system will be used when a suspect is brought to the police station. Michigan's college tuition prepayment plan attacked LANSING - The state's college prepayment plan is a good invest- ment only for parents whose children go to the University of Michigan or Michigan State University, a study released yesterday said. The study by the Mackinac Center said the Michigan Education Trust is over-priced for students who will attend the 13 other state universities. State Treasurer Robert Bowman attacked the study, released as the MET program began its one-week enrollment period. "It doesn't take a Ph.D. from Harvard to figure out if you want to measure value in only dollars and cents, you're better off going to one of the expensive schools," he said. But he said the program is designed to be "one price for any school" so that infants who are enrolled now are not limited to a specific school 18 years from now. EXT RAS Woodland Gonzo golf course features nightmarish hazards ROTHBURY, Mich. - A visor may be required head wear for most golf courses, but on Duncan Myers's links, a head net to protect one from the distraction of buzzing insects is a more practical choice. Rather than felling trees to ease the flight of golf balls, his course forces one to play through a series of pathways in the woods. "The whole statement I'm trying to make is to save the trees and the environment," he said. In the development of his course, he left the trees in place save for clearing just enough brush to allow passage for a Gonzo Golf ball. "If you have a head net on and spray up, you can stay out all day," Myers said. "Then you can jump in the lake to cool off." As in miniature golf, players are provided with appropriate equipment for the course: Gonzo Golf consists of old iron clubs with padded heads and used, neon-colored tennis balls. be £kbjuu flaiIA The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students at the University of Michigan.

A similar symposium may be held next term and one definitely will be held next year, probably in late October, Tillis said. This was the fifth time in the last two years that this type of event has been held. The program included an introduction of the symposium's theme, an hour-long discussion of the theme and a half an hour wrap- up. After the introduction, the group randomly divided into discussion groups, each containing about 10 participants and 5 facilitators.

Duderstadt said there have been 73 new minority faculty members hired in the past two years and said remarkable progress has been made in bringing minority graduate stu- dents to the University. He said the University now ranks second to Howard University in the number of Black PhDs. "We are a leader in the next generation of mi- nority faculty," Duderstadt said.
