GM, auto workers resume
national contract talks
DETROIT (AP) - General Motors
Corp. and the United Auto Workers
resumed talks on a national contract
yesterday as Canadian autoworkers
overwhelmingly ratified a pact to end a
three-week strike.
The Canadian Auto Workers held
eight meetings in Ontario and Quebec
to explain the tentative agreement to its
26,300 GM workers. The deal, reached
Tuesday, was approved by 89 percent of
those voting.
The final vote was 12,973 to 1,648.
In Detroit, GM's talks with the
UAW continued, but there was no
word from either side on how close
negotiators were to a settlement.
Analysts expect a deal within days
now that the CAW contract has been
ratified.
"It doesn't seem like there's a lot of
controversy," said Nicholas Lobaccaro
of Bear, Stearns & Co. "It doesn't
sound like there's the threat of a strike
right now."
The UAW and CAW are independent
unions, but have coordinated their strat-
egy in this round of Big Three contract
talks.
While the strike against GM of
Canada Ltd. was over, its effects were
expected to keep rippling through the
North American manufacturing opera-
'ions of the world's largest automaker
for at least another week.
GM said the number of workers in
the United States and Mexico laid off
because of the strike fell slightly yester-
day to 19,159. A total 1,830 parts work-
ers, mostly in Mexico, returned to their
jobs while 1,058 new layoffs occurred
in Mexico, and Mansfield, Ohio, and
Flint.
There were no new slowdowns or
closures of assembly plants, though
third-shift workers at the Lordstown,
Ohio, Pontiac-Chevrolet plant were
told not to return to work tomorrow
from their regular days off of yester-
day and today. A GM source, speak-
ing on condition of anonymity, said
the entire plant may close this week-
end, followed soon by the Buick City
complex in Flint.
Plant slowdowns and last week's clo-
sure of the Cadillac plant in Detroit
resulted from shortages of Canada-
made parts. It could take two or three
weeks for full production to resume as
new parts are shipped from Canada.
GM stockpiled many parts, which
drastically lessened the effect of the
strike south of the Canada border.
Analysts estimate the fourth-quar-
ter cost of the strike will be from
$225 million to $350 million,
depending on how much production
is lost. That compares with the $900
million after-tax cost of the 17-day
UAW strike at two GM brake plants
in Dayton, Ohio, in March, which
virtually shut down GM's North
American production.
Analyst David Healy of Burnham
Securities Inc. said lost production
could total between 65,000 and 100,000
units, but that much of that could be
made up with overtime in the fourth

son Kenneth Charles, whom she calls
"K.C." for short.
"Recently he's been saying 'Mommy
practice!'," Darden said.
Her husband, an Eastern Michigan
University business senior, said he also
acts as a "coach" for Darden.
*"I look at her playing very critically
because I know that's how her competi-
tion looks at her" Darden said.
Cheryl Darden said she was proud to
be the first African American in her
position.
"I almost feel like a pioneer in a
sense," Darden said.
Darden said there is a stereotype that
black people do not, or cannot play
' lassical music. She attended high
hool at the Interlochen Arts Academy
in Interlochen, Mich., and recalled that
she often would not get the recognition
for her music that she deserved before
coming to the University.
"(A black classical musician) is not
something that this society wants to
see," Darden said.
David Aderente, facilities coordina-
tor for the School of Music, said there
are currently
four black stu-
dents, three of j alm
whom are
female, among like a plc
the approximate-
ly 150 orchestra sense.
members at the
University.
In high
school, Darden
said her father
encouraged her not to give up in the
face of obstacles such as racism.
"He said, 'What do you have to
lose? You've come this far,"' Darden
said.
Darden also serves as a minority peer
advisor for the School of Music. She
said that even at Michigan, minorities
deal with some ignorance and covert
discrimination.
"Times have changed," Darden said.
"It's not blatant - it's more subtle."
Between caring for her family, her
music, school and work, Darden's
peers admire
her ability to
St feelkeep it togeth-
quarter.
The UAW and GM talked through-
out the CAW strike and reached
agreement on many issues, sources
say. But the UAW held off on the
final push to work out remaining
details while it waited for the strike
to play itself out.
"The UAW and General Motors are
very, very close to signing an agrc&'
ment," said analyst Ronald Glantz of
Dean Witter Reynolds Inc. "I expect the
UAW to sign within two weeks withouf
any labor disruptions."
The key issue here, as in Canada, is
outsourcing - farming out parts work
to outside, lower-cost suppliers.
In its recent contracts with Ford
Motor Co. and Chrysler Corp., the
companies agreed to guarantee 95 per-
cent of their current union jobs for the
next three years, with major exceptions
for productivity gains and an economic
downturn.
Analysts expect the UAW and GM.
to agree to the same 95 percent pro-
vision, but with workers at several
major parts plants that GM wants td
sell excluded from GM's base work
force number.
GM already has for sale two Delphi
Automotive Systems plants in
Michigan, in addition to two in Canada.
The CAW agreed not to oppose the sale
of the Ontario plants as part of its set-
tlement.
The CAW is expected to initiate
talks with Ford's Canadian unit on
Monday.
Prof. Rebecca Eisenberg said
Bollinger "was an extremely honorable
dean" who was very concerned about
doing "the right thing."
"He has views about ... discourse
within a community that he tried to live
out in his role as dean," Eisenberg said
noting that Bollinger promoted "open
and respectful exchange."
St. Antoine said Bollinger works
effectively with other people.
"He is a keen, even tough, judge of
people, but he has the sensitivity, even
kindness, to be diplomatic in his deal-
ings with them," St. Antoine said. "Our
alumni, practical lawyers for the most
part, loved him."
He also said Bollinger is open to con-
flicting ideas.
"He was also prepared to modify his
own position when he saw that other
views had merit," St. Antoine said. "Lee
is a very strong person, but not in any
overbearing way."

Bork was defeated in his pursuit of a

Bollinger testified in 1987 - the
same year he became dean. At the time,
the relative youth of the fair-haired 41-
year-old received attention. Today,
Bollinger is poised to make the jump
from Dartmouth provost to Michigan
president - if the regents think he's up
to the job.
Co-workers at Dartmouth said they
would be sorry to see him leave.
Dartmouth government Prof. Lynn
Mather said Bollinger has worked at
"building bridges across different parts
of the institution."Mather said Bollinger
is "a strong leader" and that she would
be "very, very sorry to see him go."
Many officials at Dartmouth
declined comment on Bollinger's
future at Michigan. One professor
said he did not want to be quoted
because of his strong hopes that
Bollinger will remain at Dartmouth.
But at the Law School, many say
they are prepared to embrace a pos-
sible Bollinger presidency with open
arms.
"I was very happy with Lee
Bollinger as a dean," said Prof Samuel
Gross. He said Bollinger would make a
good University president.

He has been involved with
University Medical Center budgeting
for 24 years.
"lm just better equipped by experi-
ence to address this matter," he said.
Baker said voters must consider such
experience when casting their ballots
because of the issue's importance.
"(Health care) is the most serious
financial issue facing the University,"
he said. "(Voters) are the ones paying
the bills and the insurance and the ones
that have to bring their loved ones to the
hospitals."
Markus said experience is probably
not a concern for most voters when
choosing regents.
"Votes for regents are usually party-
line votes," he said. "I don't know that
voters think about (the University

Dole wants to allow citizens to set up,

He also supports medical malpractice
reform.
For families providing long-tern
care, Dole supports a $1,000 deduction
for people housing elderly parents or
other relatives in their homes.
In contrast, Clinton said the health
care industry is in jeopardy and needs
help, citing the fact that 40 million
Americans are without health insurance
as a sign of trouble.
Clinton said that during the past four
years he has learned that changes to the
health care industry need to be gradual
and not sweeping. He said changes
must be made to allow more citizens
better access to health care.

Dole said Republicans are against
government intervention in health care
administration, unlike Democrats. He
said the tax burden of any sort of gov-
ernment take-over of the health care
industry would be disastrous.
Kirk said Clinton tried to increase
government involvement in the
health-care industry before, and
would likely do so again. "Bill
Clinton will try again to take over 14
percent of the American economy,"
he said.
Their opposing ideas on the health-
care industry indicate a basic difference
